Chapter 289: The group qualifys

Younas held his forehead in distress, the two teams running on the field, Younas can be said to be very familiar. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 On one side is the Chinese team he once coached, and on the other side, it is the team of his home country.

Before the match began, Younas knew it was going to be a tough fight. What he didn't expect, though, was that the game would turn out to be one-sided.

At the last World Championships in Japan, the Greek team went all the way to the final, but lost to the Spanish team in the final. This year, Pau Gasol did not participate in the World Championships, so the Greek team came to Turkey with great ambitions.

But today, this first group game in Ankara, Turkey, has given the Greeks a big blow to confidence.

In the first game against China, the Greek media agreed that their team could undoubtedly get off to a good start. The only guy who needs to pay attention is An Jie.

As it turned out, the Greeks guessed only half right. Anjie did bring them a lot of trouble, but Yi Jianlian's performance was equally dazzling.

At the beginning of the game, the Greek and Chinese teams played very closely. The scores of the two sides are anxious, and there are attacks and defenses against each other. But after Deng Huade changed his defensive strategy in the second quarter, the entire offense of the Greek team suddenly collapsed.

"Let's defend the joint defense, let them shoot from the outside, Ann! Strangle their inside offense!" Deng Ward drew on the tactical board, this joint defense arrangement is not complicated, but for Greece now, it is enough to deal with.

So in the middle of the second stage, the situation of the game changed drastically. The interior combination of An Jie and Yi Jianlian stubbornly defended the basket, forcing the Greek team to attack several times in a row without success.

Greece center Schal Chanitis, an NBA-targeted guy, also has the nickname "Little Shark."

The reason why he got this nickname is because this guy is strong, has huge strength, and his playing style is mostly rampage, not at all like a European insider.

But the "little shark" of the Lakers team has been cleaned up by Anjie, what kind of storm can this little shark in Greece set off?

On the offensive side, he does not have an advantage in height, and plans to use his strength and tonnage to eat Anjie. He tried a few times to carve a gap for the Greeks on the inside, but Anjie also made the guy die with two consecutive blocks. Basketball is not something that can be won by strength alone. Anjie admits that this guy's strength is very good even in the NBA, but what about other aspects...... It's unsightly!

In Greece you are a little shark, in front of Anjie, you are just a little goldfish.

After that, the defenders of the Greek team also launched an impact on the inside of the Chinese team. But under the protection of An Jie and Yi Jianlian, their efficiency in breaking through the attack was outrageously low. FIBA doesn't have a three-second defense rule, so Anjie can keep shrinking to the basket and make the Greek team's interior offense helpless.

Helplessly, Younas can only look for opportunities on the outside. But the cold hand of the Greek team today hastened their death, and the defense of the Chinese team's outside players is not very good, but today the Greek team just can't shoot, maybe the frustration of the inside attack has more or less affected their outside feel.

The Greek team's attack has stagnated, and China's attack is no worse than the defense. With Anjie's response, Yi Jianlian is not the only one who has benefited.

Liu Wei's interspersed running position will always be found by An Jie, so the old qualification of the national team has also obtained a lot of opportunities to go to the basket. Wang Shipeng has also repeatedly gained space for outside fire under Yi Jianlian's off-ball blocking, and if the Chinese team relied on point guards to organize the offense before, their passing may be too early, or it may be too slow, so that the opportunity is wasted. But now when the Chinese team relies on Anjie, this situation has not happened again.

As long as Wang Shipeng is empty, basketball will always find him in time. The only thing the small forward needs to do is shoot the ball into an empty basket.

As for Yi Jianlian, his and An Jie's internal cooperation is even more exquisite. Of course, the biggest headache for the Greek team is Anjie's independent attack.

Since the start of the game, Anjie has only missed one goal, and that goal was an empty mid-range shot missed by Anjie, which has nothing to do with Shore Chanitis's defense.

It can be said that as long as Anjie wants to, he can score! The little shark of the Greek team is incomparable to Bynum, not to mention that even if Bynum comes, he can't stop Anjie's attack.

While the Greek team is still holding on, although Younas is still roaring on the sidelines. But in the end, they still couldn't survive the butcher's devastation.

Younas used all his hole cards and wanted to fight the Chinese team to the end at all costs. But Anjie didn't give them a chance, and he completely shattered the dream of the Greek team with repeated basket dunks and violent blocks.

All the Greek fans were dumbfounded and couldn't believe their eyes. They who finished second in the World Championships last year actually lost to the Chinese team that was not favored before the game! And the people who caused all this to happen were not Yi Jianlian and Wang Zhizhi they were familiar with, but An Jie!

Wearing the national team jersey to win is a completely different feeling from the NBA. Although An Jie will not talk about patriotism or anything all day long, this sense of honor to win glory for the country will come to the door by himself.

With 28 points, 15 rebounds, 11 assists and 5 blocks, Anjie scored a big triple-double. You know, this is still the data that An Jie didn't play his best to get, if he wants to show the state when he played the playoffs with the Lakers, it is estimated that it is not impossible for him to cut 40+20.

The Greek shark threatened to go to the NBA this summer, but this game obviously made him realize the gap between himself and the NBA.

Don't look at Anjie so much taller than him, but Shore Chanitis's agility and speed are much inferior to Anjie. Aside from brute strength, he doesn't have any points that can be called superior. Like Su Wei, this guy also found that there is a huge gap between himself and the NBA in all aspects.

In addition, the starters of the Chinese team scored double-doubles under the organization of An Jie. On the bench, there were roughly 12 points on the books.

81-99, the Chinese team dominated the game from the beginning of Deng Huade's use of joint defense until the end. The last time the Chinese team beat Greece in an international tournament was 24 years ago. Unexpectedly, now because of the appearance of a person, the situation has completely changed.

The Chinese team not only won the game, but also won the game by a huge margin of 18 points. Greece is also an international powerhouse, but in front of the Chinese team led by An Jie, they are not vulnerable at all!

In the first game of the World Championships, fans not only saw An Jie, who had a brand-new physique, but also saw an incredible Chinese team. The big victory over the powerhouse Greece, many Chinese fans just thought about it casually before the game. Unexpectedly, this casual thing turned out to become a reality.

"He's such a guy, and I knew Ann was going to play well. This is the comment that Anjie's teammate gave him when the media interviewed Durant. If you want to say who knows Anjie's strength best in this World Championships, it is undoubtedly Durant and Westbrook.

"The Chinese team is not a weak team, as long as there is An, even if we play with the Chinese team, we have to be careful. Westbrook naturally gave AnJie a high rating.

Under this overwhelming applause, a day later, on August 29, the Chinese team unexpectedly won again.

Facing the Ivory Coast team, which is recognized as the weakest team in the group, the Chinese team did not take the opponent lightly and did not have softness. As an unknown team in the African region, Ivory Coast is more about experiencing the atmosphere of the competition at the World Championships. For them, victory is just a luxury.

From the beginning of the first quarter, the Chinese team has been leading the opponent. And this lead has been maintained by the Chinese team until the end.

Throughout the fourth quarter, Deng Huade didn't even let An Jie play, but the Chinese team still won the game easily.

Yi Jianlian scored a game-high 26 points, and An Jie didn't play in the fourth quarter, but he also had 20 points and 8 rebounds. The Ivory Coast team had no way to compete with the Chinese team, the Asian champion, and finally lost the game 85-73 without any suspense.

Easily, the Chinese team won two consecutive victories in the group stage, and the score difference between the two games was more than 10 points. The qualifying situation of the group is very good, and An Jie is once again famous.

Before the start of the World Championships, people were worried about the Chinese team without Yao Ming. But now, An Jie has completely filled Yao Ming's vacancy. Even in terms of playing the ball, An Jie did a better job than Yao Ming.

The era of Yi has not really begun, and the era of An has already come.

However, basketball has never been an individual sport, and no matter how powerful An Jie is, it is impossible to greatly change the status quo of Chinese basketball by himself. Some people have been dazzled by the Chinese team's two consecutive wins, and even began to call for the current Chinese team to fight with Mengjiu. But calm fans also made a different voice.

Deng Huade brought six defenders in one breath in this competition, but they can only be regarded as generals in the dwarf. The weak backfield of the Chinese team has always been a difficult problem, and if it were not for An Jie, I really dare not imagine what the Chinese team's attack would be handled.

In the third game after that, the Chinese team met a strong opponent again. Russia is also one of the world's strongest teams, with NBA-level players such as Mozgov on their roster. Although in terms of personal strength, no one in the Russian team can compete with An Jie, but in terms of overall strength, the Chinese team is also a lot worse than others.

Under the leadership of An Jie, the Chinese team and the Russian team have been playing very anxiously. Even in the fourth quarter, the Chinese team once led the Russian team by nine points.

Just as there were five minutes left in the fourth quarter to end, the problems of the Chinese team were completely exposed. Under the tough defense of the Russian team's outside players, Liu Wei and Sun Yue made several low-level mistakes, giving the opponent the opportunity to easily convert and score.

Relying on the mistakes of the defenders of the Chinese team, the Russian team played a wave of 10-2 offensive climax. With such an offensive climax, the morale of the Russian team was greatly boosted. After that, Russia's starting small forward Volončevich hit consecutive three-pointers from the outside to completely kill the game. can't receive a pass from the defender, no matter how good An Jie is, he can't play it.

89-83, after two consecutive wins, the Chinese team finally lost to Russia and ushered in the first defeat in the group stage.

It was only then that Chinese fans woke up from a dream. The huge gap between the substitutes and the starters, and the shortcomings of the slightly inferior level of the defenders, were finally realized by everyone. Although the Chinese team lost this game, the Ivory Coast team won Puerto Rico unexpectedly. In this way, the 2-1 Chinese team will appear no matter how well the next game is played.

It can be said that Deng Huade has completed the task given to him by the Basketball Association. However, fans must hope that the men's basketball team can break into the quarterfinals and even make history.

So in the last game of the group stage, Deng Huade let all the substitutes play the starters and let all the starters sit on the bench. In this way, not only can the substitutes get a workout, but the starters also get a respite.

But the result of this is, of course, that the host Turkey defeated China without much effort. An Jie only played 5 minutes in this game and scored 7 points, and Deng Huade planned to save his trump card for the knockout stage.

84-68, in the face of China, which had no desire and no desire to play as a substitute, Turkey, which also had no desire, easily won an innocuous victory.

Although it has lost two in a row, it is also an indisputable fact that the Chinese team qualified in the third place in the group. At this point, the men's basketball team led by An Jie ended their five-day group stage journey. During the period again, the Chinese team brought surprises to everyone and also sent a little disappointment.

But in any case, at least the task given by the above, An Jie and Deng Huade can be regarded as having completed it without danger. Whether they can continue to break through next depends on their own.

Deng Huade and An Jie were very hungry for victory, and even thought about making history. But whether the rest of the Chinese team can help them with that ambition is another matter......
