The final score of the friendly match between China and the Dream Seven team was 78-102, and the Dream Seven team only won 24 points, Fang Da did not play in the second half, although the Dream Seven team began to have an overwhelming advantage, but it also opened more than 20 points, only Fang Da could see that the Dream Seven team did not use much strength, and James was paddling almost the whole time.

Although it lost by 24 points, it was a great thing for fans across the country!

The basketball emperor only lost by 24 points after only half a game? This is too exaggerated, right? The Chinese team only lost to the dream team by 24 points, which was unimaginable before!

Facts have proved that with the basketball emperor, the strength of the Chinese national team is definitely the strongest in history! This is not doubtful at all, and it is also the absence of Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi, and now there is not only the world's top inside Yao Ming, but also the top outside of the basketball emperor, who else is the Chinese team afraid of?

……

After the warm-up match on August 7, the Chinese team members began training again to prepare for the World Championships in Japan.

As early as a few months ago, the Chinese players knew that this time they were in Group D, and the six teams in Group D were: the United States, Italy, Slovenia, Senegal, Puerto Rico and China.

Each group has Haoqiang, and the Chinese team must also care about the grouping situation of other groups, after all, it is related to one-eighth of the game.

Group A: Argentina, Venezuela, France, Serbia and Montenegro, Lebanon, Nigeria

Group B: Spain, Panama, Germany, Japan, New Zealand, Angola

Group C: Lithuania, Brazil, Greece, Turkey, Australia, Qatar

There is an Asian team in each group, of course, this time the biggest hope of qualifying from the group is naturally China, although Japan is the host, but basically no one will be optimistic that Japan can qualify.

The Chinese team must be at least ranked fourth in the group to qualify, but although there is a dream seven team in this group, as well as Italy, a European powerhouse, but the other three national teams China is very promising to win, not to mention that now there is a basketball emperor, everyone believes that China should strive to defeat Italy and win the second place in the group!

For example, Group A is in Sendai City, Group B is in Hiroshima City, Group C is in Hamamatsu City, Group D of the Chinese team is in Sapporo City, and the final venue is in Saitama City.

The first game of the Chinese team on August 19 is to play against the European powerhouse Italy, and this time the team that won the World Championships will directly qualify for the Beijing Olympics!

……

On the evening of August 8, Fonda returned to the hotel when suddenly his cell phone rang.

"Hey,!" a young man's voice came from the phone.

"It's Ding Haoren. Fonda knew whose voice it was when he heard it.

Ding Haoren is now the acting boss of the entire Heaven-Shaking Gang.

"Da Ge, the gene S you asked me to investigate a while ago has finally been found. Ding Haoren said, "The blood tyrant did too much, otherwise it wouldn't have taken such a big effort." ”

"Do you know anything more about this gene S?" asked Fonda.

"Hehe, since the investigation has been investigated, we have to get to the bottom of it!" Ding Haoren said, "After a lot of hard work, I finally got a few samples of gene S and handed them over to Dr. Fu Sen...... Dr. Fu Sen's meaning is that this gene S is completely a mortal poison for ordinary people, but how to say, there are four people in the entire history who have successfully fused gene S, two of them are Chinese, you all know, Blood Boss and Changdong, Blood Boss was killed by Da Ge you, Changdong According to the information I got it, Han Sinan, Long Tianyang, Amaterasu Martial God and Mad House Sanping were jointly killed. Dr. Fu Sen also said that if there is really a 1 in 10 million probability that the gene S will be successfully fused, then it will indeed greatly enhance people's all-round physical fitness, and make people completely lose pain while retaining the sense of touch, but it will also make people's personalities more tyrannical than the original......"

Fang Da couldn't help but sigh after hearing this, in fact, the blood tyrant told him at the beginning, and the blood tyrant thought that since he could fuse the gene S, he belonged to the person chosen by God, but the four people in history who successfully fused the gene S were all killed by arrogance Strictly speaking! Fang Da assumed that he was the blood tyrant, and he had 100 ways to kill himself! And not arrogant stupid enough to choose to fight one-on-one with himself, assuming he is a blood tyrant, he has countless ways to rule the world easily, but this is no way, not that the blood bully has no IQ, purely because after getting the powerful power of gene S, your mental thinking angle is completely different, and it is much more tyrannical than before, extremely arrogant, and finally pay the price of life, not to mention even one-on-one, if Fang Da assumes that he is a blood tyrant, he also has many ways to defeat himself, and he can defeat the blood tyrant in the end, which also accounts for a little bit of blood tyrant's carelessness, otherwise if the two fight again, Fang Da really has no certainty that he can still win the blood tyrant like last time。

Like the blood tyrant, Chang Dong shouldn't have made any preparations at all, and directly swaggered to face the martial god Han Sinan and them, and was killed in the end because of his arrogance.

"That's right,. The bloody mercenary group you contacted earlier has also received news, and the boss over there, 'Blood Killing', has invited me to meet with him tomorrow!" Ding Haoren said.

"Oh, that's good, you can go on behalf of the Megatron Gang. Fang Da said, it seems that Qin Dong also found free time to make friends, but unfortunately Fang Da can't leave at this time.

Ding Haoren snorted, and then said, "Brother Da, I plan to let our Heaven-Shaking Gang prepare to officially enter the national ......."

Fonda nodded and said, "That's good, I also have this idea, from the time I defeated the Blood Tyrant, I was also planning whether to let the gang enter the gangster camp on the front line of the country." ”

"But I always feel that the name of the Earthquake Gang is not good......" Ding Haoren stopped when he wanted to speak.

"Actually, I think so. Fang Da said with a wry smile, in fact, the name of the Earthquake Gang was taken by his uncle Fang Lizhong for Fang Da, after all, this gang originally belonged to Fang Lizhong, he had that qualification, the reason why he was named the Earthquake Gang was actually because Fang Da was born and his name was Fang Zhen, Fang Lifeng's original idea was actually "Fang Zhentian", which means the meaning of Earthquake Heaven, and later changed to Fang Da.

"Actually, if it were me, I would have named it the Earthquake Society!" Fang Da smiled, Fang Da originally wanted to take this name, but seeing that Fang Lizhong had taken the Earthquake Gang first, he didn't say much.

Earthquake Meeting!

Ding Haoren actually thought the same way, he thought at the beginning that if the name of the Earthquake Gang was changed to Earthquake Society, then it would sound much better!

"Da Ge, that's actually what I have in mind!" Ding Haoren said.

"Then it's settled. Fonda laughed, "Will there be any difficulties, do you need me to intervene?"

"I don't think it's necessary for the time being, there will be no big problem with the Killing King and the Violent Bear. Ding Haoren said.

"Well, that's good, but we have to remember that although we belong to the gang, we must not do anything illegal, this is my principle, we are a person who lives entirely on legitimate business!" Fonda said.

"Got it, don't worry, Da Ge!" Ding Haoren said.

Only Ding Haoren knows that the Earthquake Society has been able to get to where it has been in the past three years, relying on Fangda's wisdom and vision.

……

In a building in the United States.

Old D and a middle-aged man were sitting across from each other.

At this moment, the middle-aged man was writing calligraphy on a desk with a problem, and Lao D was looking at the middle-aged man's calligraphy.

"Old Wen, you've made a lot of progress in the past few months. Old D said, "It seems that Chen Wei of Dawn University is Fangda, and this matter is really a big blow to you." ”

The middle-aged man finished writing the last word, and then couldn't help but show a wry smile when he heard Lao D's words.

Came to the United States alone, when he was confused, he was still an old acquaintance and took the initiative to take him in, and in the past few months, he put aside those grievances and those things to practice calligraphy quietly, and he already had calligraphy skills He has also made great progress in these months.

This middle-aged man is very unfortunate to be Wen Wangyuan, the former editor-in-chief of China Basketball News.

Old D sat down across from his desk.

"Old D, old D, I really can't see through you more and more, why is a 20-year-old young man so high in calligraphy. Wen Wangyuan sighed, it was the guidance of Lao D in the past few months, and Wen Wangyuan's calligraphy could leap again.

Old D did not reply and remained silent.

Although the whole room was quiet, it was not embarrassing, Wen Wangyuan also shook his head with a wry smile, the young man named Lao D in front of him was the boss of Longmen, a peerless genius who did not lose to the basketball emperor at all, how could he ask such a stupid question?

"In the past few months, when you calm down, you should be more objective and clearer in looking at the previous problems. Old D suddenly spoke.

Wen Wangyuan nodded, now he looks back at what he did before, in fact, he didn't do it well, but after paying the price for his mistakes, he was still angry and wanted to take revenge, which made all kinds of distortions in his bad heart, Wen Wangyuan also secretly said to himself, it turned out that the distortion of human nature caused by revenge was really unreasonable, and it was really terrible at the same time.

"By the way, you told me before that you wanted to write a basketball novel, have you decided on the title and outline?" said Old D suddenly.

"Ha, it's been decided, how about the name "Basketball Dreams and Promises"? The story starts when Fangda was 12 years old, and then my idea is that Fangda went through the junior high school league and then the high school league, and in the process, he also had some love with Liu Yunxi...... Well, I wanted to write in the first person so that I could put myself in his shoes...... How about combining basketball and love? And I think ......."

Speaking of this novel, Wen Wangyuan can be described as gushing.

Wen Wangyuan didn't even see the slightest twitch at the corner of Old D's face.

"It's really worthy of being the former editor-in-chief of the newspaper, and you have picked up all these things. Old D said expressionlessly.

"It's hard to look back on the past...... Hahaha. Wen Wangyuan smiled awkwardly but politely.

Old D didn't plan to talk to Wen Wangyuan again, but stood up and turned around and walked out of the room.

At this moment, Lao D regretted a little that he accepted Wen Wangyuan into Longmen and became a member of Longmen because he was pitiful, this Wen Wangyuan is 40 years old, how can he sometimes talk more childishly than some 20-year-old people......

Basketball dreams and promises?

It's too ...... name Well...... It seems to be okay too.

Anyway, Wen Wangyuan is also an online novel writer, so let him go.

Old D touched his chin, and then didn't say anything more, and walked directly into the elevator.

……

At four o'clock in the morning on August 16, the players of the Chinese men's basketball team set off from the hotel and then arrived at Shanghai Pudong Airport. On the 8:15 a.m. flight, Yao Ming and Fonda and other key players flew directly to Sapporo and arrived in Sapporo at around 11 p.m., while the basketball center and officials took a small number of the players to transfer in Osaka, Japan, and finally arrived in Sapporo at 4 p.m.

Sapporo is a beautiful city, but this time Fangda is not here to travel, this time the discipline of the men's basketball team in the World Championships is much stricter than the previous U20 World Youth Championships, this time Lin Zhanjin is here for a best result in history, he clearly stipulates that the men's basketball players can not go anywhere except the training hall!

As soon as I got off the plane at noon, the first thing I saw was a group of local students and Chinese representatives welcoming the arrival of the Chinese men's basketball team. It can be seen that this time, Chinese students and Chinese people from all over the world have great expectations for the Chinese team!

Yao Ming, Wang Zhizhi and Fang Da were all interviewed by reporters, of course, the reporters did not make it too difficult, and the three of them just answered the questions in a simple official tone and left.

Considering that the men's basketball players have been tossing for a long time on the first day today, the training will start tomorrow, and all the players will stay in the hotel directly to rest today.

This time, the Chinese men's basketball team seems to be very strong, but there are still some injury problems, including Wang Zhizhi's knee injury, which is not completely healed, but it is basically fine, Wang Zhizhi means that there is no time, he is determined to contribute to the national team.

……

On the afternoon of August 17, all the members of the Chinese team went to the Hokkaido Comprehensive Gymnasium in Sapporo City for a one-hour pre-game training.

The first 15 minutes of a one-hour training session are open to the media and the last 45 minutes are closed sessions.

There are a lot of media that pay attention to the Chinese team, and more than 20 reporters came at once, most of them Chinese reporters and some foreign reporters, recording the training of the Chinese team not far from the basketball court.

Wang Zhizhi had a knee pad tied to his knee, and it could be seen that the knee injury was more or less affected, but Wang Zhizhi still paid attention to protecting his knee.

Yao Ming's training attitude was very serious, and in the face of Yi Jianlian's fast-break dunk, he actually pressed the ball down in Yi Jianlian's team, which immediately shocked the reporters on the sidelines, and some foreign reporters even asked who the player who was blocked by Yao Ming was.

Of course, it was not only Yao Ming who trained seriously, but also Fang Da, who also attracted much attention, and he showed his lightning speed in training, which surprised the reporters present!

If the reporters present knew that Fangda's 100-meter runner could run within 10 seconds, it is estimated that they would have a wonderful expression.

……

The time is soon on August 19th, and the first game of the World Championships will officially begin!

The match between China and Italy was the third match of the first round of Group D, which took place at half past six in the evening.

First of all, the United States and Puerto Rico at half past twelve, and the first two matches of the first round of Group D between Slovenia and Senegal at half past three, there was no suspense in these two games, the United States and Slovenia both defeated their respective opponents without suspense, and immediately after the game between Slovenia and Senegal, the players of the Chinese team and the Italian team entered the field to warm up.

……

The Chinese team wore a predominantly white home jersey, while Italy wore a blue jersey.

The trickiest point of Italy is the three-point shot, which is very clear to all the players of the Chinese team, but at this moment the players of the Chinese team are very confident, just because this time the Chinese team is unprecedentedly strong, the strongest inside line and the strongest outside line are there!

Lin Zhanjin held the tactical board, thinking about a series of tactics he had arranged last night, today's game is absolutely crucial, if there is no basketball emperor, then today's game is also a matter of trying to fight, even if you can't beat it, strive for the third place in the group, but with Fangda, it is completely different, this time Lin Zhanjin is under great pressure, because of such a national team, most fans believe that the goal is the runner-up of the World Championships! That is, except for the dream team of the United States, all other teams have to do their best to win it, including today's big Italy against Europe.

Lin Zhanjin has been doing analysis since a few months ago, and he knows very well that if you compare those European giants, the main players of the Chinese team are really impeccable, and they are not inferior to others at all, but the key point is still the depth of the bench!

Bench players are crucial in the game, the main players can not play all the whole game, there must be rotation, but the strength of the substitute Chinese team is more or less weaker than the opponent, although this year's Chinese team bench players are already Lin Zhanjin personally believes that the Chinese team is the strongest in the past generations, but it is still a little worse than the European giants.

The current Lin Zhanjin has the idea that this team can't lose to Italy in the first game no matter what! But it is precisely because of this idea that Lin Zhanjin is extremely nervous.

The starting lineup is already the strongest lineup designated by Lin Zhanjin, and it is also the lineup that can take the greatest advantage against Italy.

Center, No. 13 Yao Ming, height 2.26 meters, power forward, No. 11 Yi Jianlian, height 2.11 meters, small forward, No. 10 Yu Jianhui, height 2.03 meters, scoring guard, No. 6 Fang Da, height 1.81 meters, point guard, No. 4 Lin Hai, height 1.90 meters.

Italy's starting lineup was completely within Lin Zhanjin's expectations.

In Lin Zhanjin's prediction, Italy also has three sets of starting plans, and today, Italy also sent the most lethal of the three sets of starting plans!

Yes, this has already been seen, Italy intends to fight China with the strongest attack, and they have also investigated the basketball emperor and know that if it is too bad for the basketball emperor to play steadily or specifically to defend the position, it must be offensive to attack.

Center, No. 15 Luca Ga, 2.07 meters, power forward, No. 6 Angelo Giri, 2.07 meters, small forward, No. 9 Stefano Mancineri, 2.03 meters, shooting guard, No. 4 Mateo Solania, 1.97 meters, point guard, No. 5 Gianluca Basley, 1.92 meters.

The most important thing to mark in this lineup is the guard line, strictly guard against small balls! Solania and Basray's offensive lethality is the greatest, once they are a little loose in their marking, so that they can shoot their hands, then basically the Chinese team is very passive!

Many people thought that Italy's starting center was 2.11 meters No. 8 Denis Macnado, but in the end, the coach of the Italian team, Donatello, did not do this, and instead sent Luca Ga, a center who is good at outside three-pointers!

Once this lineup is used well, only Donatro knows best how terrible the lethality is, and this is the starting point he sent specifically for the Chinese team with the basketball emperor.

And Lin Zhanjin, who has been doing his homework for a long time, also knows very well what it means for Lukaga to start, and he has long guessed that Donatro will send this lineup.

Seeing that their respective starters had already stepped onto the basketball court and stood in their respective positions, Yao Ming and Lukajia stood face to face, facing Lukaga, who was a head shorter, Yao Ming seemed to understand something, and frowned.

At this moment, countless fans in front of the TV and some Chinese who are related to basketball are watching this battle! Seeing that the opposing center is actually a head shorter than Yao Ming, many fans feel in their hearts that Italy seems to be very easy to deal with.

But Lin Zhanjin is completely different from most fans, and he has a not very good feeling in his heart.
