Chapter 391: The Gap with the World's Powers (Part II)

The new Japanese men's basketball team is preparing for the men's basketball qualifying tournament at the London Olympics. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In order to compete on the Olympic stage, the Japanese men's basketball team must finish second in the group to have a chance.

However, the second place in the group is not so easy, and the Japanese men's basketball team has to fight hard for every opponent in the group stage.

Their first opponent was a European powerhouse, Italy.

After the opening, the Japanese team still showed strong combat effectiveness, and the blocking and dismantling of Amu and Ishii played a strong role.

One throw, one three-pointer, Amu scored five points in a row.

However, the Italian team responded quickly, and after a three-point shot, it was another breakthrough to cut off Slyer, and Italy completed a counterattack and responded with a wave of 5-0.

Slyer is still complaining to the referee that Ishii has come to the front.

This time, the ball gave Mikami, who was in an important position on the inside, and facing Banyani, it was also a good opportunity for Mikami to prove himself.

In the past few years, when he was in the Rover and Xiandao was in the team, he was the second leader, Xiandao was not in the team, and Sanshang finally had room to play.

If he can dominate against Banjani, he may be able to knock on the door of the NBA.

This international competition is often haunted by scouts from all over the world.

After Mikami got the ball, he made a continuous back play, wanting to take advantage of his height advantage and force Banyani.

"Smack~!!"

Mikami's moves should be able to throw the ball at least in the JBA, but in the international arena, it is not so easy.

It was Belinelli's steal again, cutting straight to the ball.

The rate of two people is not at the same level at all~!!

Gradually, the Japanese team began to be at a disadvantage, and the gap between them and Italy was slowly becoming apparent.

Belinelli dribbles forward.

The Japanese men's basketball team is also trying its best to defend back.

Belinelli made an unseen pass and gave it directly to Gallinari next to him.

Nakaliwan has already caught up.

However, Gallinari didn't seem to care, and directly opened his hand to shoot three-point~!!

"Damn, it's too high~!!"

Nakaliwan looked at Gallinari's shot and looked up and sighed.

"Brush~!!"

The ball hollowed into the net again.

The Italian team has found the feeling of shooting.

Moreover, their shooting is indeed too difficult to defend for the Japanese men's basketball team~!!

This kind of ability to fight alone is definitely crushing level.

In the following game, the Japanese team was completely suppressed by the opponent, especially after the substitutes came on the field, the Japanese team was even more difficult to parry.

By the end of the half, Japan was already trailing by 22 points.

Watching the Italian players talk and laugh, they are really relaxed.

In the scope of basketball, the strength of Europe is indeed completely crushing Asia.

In the second half of the game, the Japanese men's basketball team also fought back, led by Ishii, and chased some scores, but when the Italian team got serious again, the Japanese men's basketball team had a hard time.

The final score was fixed at 62:98.

Japan lost by 36 points.

This kind of game process is the same as predicted before the game, the two teams are not at the same level in terms of individual ability, team cooperation, and even tournament experience and coaching team.

Even the strongest Japanese team will lose badly.

But it's nothing, after all, hard power is like that, and this is the real gap.

"Brother~!! , You're really great, the first time I saw you playing in the national team jersey, I was really a little moved~!! ”

Haruko, who was in the stands, watched the Japanese team members applaud them and said excitedly.

Japan's second match was against African side Angola.

Angola should be the closest to the Japanese team in this group, so the Japanese team really needs to fight the opponent.

In the second game, the Japanese team continued to start the previous game.

Because the Angolan team is dominated by black players, the athleticism in each position must be stronger than the Japanese team.

However, not only the Angolan team, but also the common problem of African teams is that they forget how to play while playing, they shoot when they have the opportunity, and their defense is full of holes, and in general, the ability to execute tactics is very poor, very poor.

As long as the Japanese team plays a little more patiently, they have a good chance of winning the game.

After the start of the game, the Angolan team really played very unrestrained, and as long as there was an opportunity, it was a very decisive shot.

"Bell~!!"

If you don't feel good when you catch them, you have a better chance of beating your opponent.

“duang~!!!”

"Ah~!!!!"

However, there is one point that the African team forgot to mention.

That's the passion they play.

After this outside iron, the Angolan small forward directly entered the inside line, relying on his strong physical talent, grabbed the ball before the three, and smashed it into the basket directly~!!

Zhong Lewan's defensive rebounds were not topped, which led to this tragedy.

Once the Angolan team hits such a morale balloon, it will be out of control, because of the surge in male hormones, they will focus on defense.

"W~!!"

Sure enough, in the next round, Angola's strong defense completed a successful 24 seconds.

The Japanese team seems to have fallen into passivity as soon as they came up.

Angola quickly served to the front court, and directly tried to shoot again from the outside~!!

"Brush~!!"

The ball obediently went into the basket this time.

Again, as long as Angola plays with excitement and feeling, then they are omnipotent, and they are a copycat version of "Team USA".

"Brush~!!"

But fortunately, Ah Mu is here.

When he came back to the Japanese team to attack, Ishii gave the ball directly to Amu, and after Amu shook the opponent with a false shooting feint, he directly hit a steady mid-range shot.

Angola is still Angola after all, as long as you calm down, there is still a chance.

"Bell~!!"

Here Angola is talking from the outside again, and this time it is iron.

Because the ball didn't fly very far, Slyer grabbed the rebound.

"Let's go~!!!"

Slyer directly set his sights on the front court, Nakaliwan had already launched a fast attack, and the two of them were teammates of the Osaka Iron Horse team before, so the tacit understanding was still quite high.

Slyer pointed in the direction of Na Lewan and flicked the ball away with one hand.

"Smack~!!"

However, it seems that Slyer underestimated his opponent's athleticism.

The Angolan striker cut off the ball straight into the air.

Angola returned and prepared to launch a fast attack.

The Angolan point guard holds the ball and waits for his teammates to intersperse.

The defender is pointing the ball directly towards the basket.

“duang~!!!!”

"Ah~!!!!"

The Angolan small forward received the ball in the air and smashed it directly into the air.

Beautiful air relays, wonderful counter-attacking coordination.

The momentum of the Angolan team is wave after wave, and this kind of momentum is created by their hard work, and it is also cultivated by the Japanese team's mistakes one by one.

"Toot ~ !!"

Coach Hashiba called a timeout, and the Japanese team played a little panicked.

Although Yu Chai said before not to think about winning or losing, however, when you have the opportunity to win the game, as a head coach of competitive sports, you should still have some ambitions~!!

"Brush~!!!"

After the pause, it was Amu who hit a long shot from the outside, and the best state of the entire Japanese team was Amu. (To be continued.) )
