Chapter 604: Reaching the Top 8?(4)
If it is against real strong teams such as North America, Spain, and Argentina, Huaxia will be lagging behind, and there is nothing to say.
However, now it is the unknown Venezuelan team that will face off.
There isn't even a single NBA player in the entire Venezuelan team. Counting it up, Huaxia still has Yi Di and Zhou Qi, two members who once entered the NBA, but in the end they ended up playing like this, which is really a bit embarrassing.
"The Chinese men's basketball team has completely declined!"
"Even Venezuela can't beat it, and it's a loss against Poland!"
"The Polish hammer Gokat is not false, and Yi Di may not have been his opponent in the NBA back then. β
"Although Gokat is already old, the problem is that Emperor Yi is not young......"
"Losing to Venezuela, and then losing to Poland, two consecutive defeats, basically went to the 17th place......"
"I am not eligible to play in the second round of the group stage!"
"In this men's basketball World Championships, Huaxia is still the host, and they can't enter the top 16, so it's embarrassing!"
"Li Bei is out of class!"
"Class!"
"I heard that the Huaxia men's basketball team fired Coach Yang and hired a physical trainer named Ji Dong?"
"Look at the physical fitness of the men's basketball players now, they can't jump high or run fast, they don't dare to fight at all!"
"Ji Dong is out of class!"
"There is no physical fitness coach who is really talented, and some people must have arranged for them to come in and mix with high salaries!"
"Get out of class now!"
The game was only played in the first quarter, and various "class" voices came and went on the Internet.
And after the start of the second quarter of the game, Huaxia's offense has improved to a certain extent.
There is a slight tacit understanding in terms of cooperation.
But it was still firmly suppressed by the Venezuelan men's basketball team.
At halftime, Venezuela led the Chinese men's basketball team 43-29.
"Good cooperation, continue to improve!"
"After this game, the match against Poland and Ivory Coast is better than this one, and we still have plenty of time to practice our tactics and improve our ability to work together. β
At halftime, Ji Chen clapped his hands and said encouragingly.
In the second half, the cooperation of the Chinese team improved, but it was still not as good as Venezuela.
In the Venezuelan men's basketball team, there is not a single NBA player, and his individual ability is actually quite mediocre. But winning the Copa America is enough to prove how strong they are overall.
What they rely on is powerful tactics and subtle tacit cooperation.
Huaxia is now giving up its physical advantage and cooperating with Venezuela, which is naturally far inferior.
It's also a learning process.
The moment the final whistle ended, the score was fixed at 87-79.
Huaxia lost the first group game with a disadvantage of 9 points.
In fact, except for the first stanza, there was a lot of scolding.
Countless people believe that the Chinese men's basketball team is definitely over this time.
Venezuela can lose, let alone Poland?
In the group, I am afraid that we can only beat CΓ΄te d'Ivoire.
Three games, one win and two losses, the qualifying situation is difficult to guarantee, eighty percent is outside, the performance of the Chinese men's basketball team is not inferior to Venezuela, which has basically met Ji Chen's requirements.
However, on the Internet, he is directly not eligible to play the second round of the group stage.
After the game, Ji Chen also found that his situation was more serious.
It is enough to show that the Chinese people are disappointed in the Chinese men's basketball team.
"Looks like you're going to have to take it a little more seriously!"
Ji Chen took a deep breath, his face slightly solemn.
Three days later.
The second group stage of the Chinese men's basketball team faced off against the Polish team.
At the moment when the final whistle ended, the Chinese team defeated the Polish team 92-89 and won the first victory of the World Championships.
Yi Di and Guo Ai both scored 20+ points. Zhou Qi also scored a double-double of 12 points + 16 rebounds, and the rest of the members also played well, which finally let the people see the combat effectiveness of the Chinese men's basketball team.
However, the Chinese men's basketball team led the Polish team by 19 points in the first half, and began to "wave" again in the second half, and finally only had 3 points left, which was thrilling.
"The physical fitness of the Chinese men's basketball team has problems again!"
"Drop the chain in the second half!"
"This is a stubborn disease of the Chinese men's basketball team. β
"The addition of the physical trainer named Ji Dong has not improved this problem at all, but it seems to have become more serious......"
"Fortunately, the Chinese men's basketball team narrowly won this time, otherwise, he would be the biggest criminal in Huaxia!"
On the Internet, some voices said.
Two days later, the final game of the group stage.
The Chinese soldiers were bloodless, and defeated the weakest team in the group, the Ivory Coast team, with a final score of 86-75 points, 11 points.
After this game, Huaxia won two wins and one loss, advanced to the second round of the group stage with the second record in the group, and also determined the top 16 seats in this World Championships.
Finally made the scolding a little less.
Of course, in the game, the "physical fitness" problem shown by the Chinese men's basketball team still exists.
"The physical fitness of the Chinese men's basketball team is good in the first round of the group stage. β
"Against the world's strongest teams, players with stronger physical fitness will inevitably take a break!"
Countless people analyzed.
After entering the top 16, every opponent is extremely strong!
If Huaxia wants to go further, it is undoubtedly more difficult.
After the first round of the group stage, the round of 16 was regrouped.
Huaxia is grouped with North America, Serbia, and Canada.
Everyone is not optimistic about the prospects of the Chinese men's basketball team.
After all, North America doesn't need to be said much.
Serbia also has a top center like Joschic, and is even recognized as the first center in the NBA!
The Canadian men's basketball team has a starting lineup composed of a full set of NBA players.
This group, no matter how you look at it, is the group of death.
The one who died must be Huaxia.
However, at the beginning of the group stage, the Chinese men's basketball team defeated the Serbian team 91-86.
In this game, the Chinese men's basketball team seems to have played the advantages of "small, fast, and smart" in the first ten years of the last century, and ran to death the slower Serbian center Joschi.
Immediately afterwards, he defeated Canada 87-80.
Canadian players are not weak individually, but their coordination is obviously slightly worse, and they basically like to play singles.
Somehow, in this game of the Chinese men's basketball team, the defensive end is extremely tough, while those Canadian players seem to have become soft-footed shrimps, unable to break through, unable to open, and completely restricted on the offensive end. In the end, it was a pity to lose.
Huaxia, who won both games, has almost locked the qualifying place with the North American team!
also said that in this World Championships, Huaxia will almost inevitably reach the quarterfinals!
And just when the Chinese people were cheering for this......
In the last game of the group stage, in the face of the full bench lineup sent by the North American team, the Chinese men's basketball team simply lost 66-102 and experienced a slaughter-like rout......
"The Chinese men's basketball team was beaten back to its original shape in the first battle!"
"The quarterfinals, or the end of the Chinese men's basketball team!"
"The opportunity to make history, the loss of ...... again"
After the battle, the Chinese media reported one after another.
