Just when the country was caught in the excitement of the Chinese men's basketball team's victory, the Chinese men's basketball team will embark on a journey again, and they will welcome their second opponent, the young Ivory Coast team. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The Chinese men's basketball team has only played against Ivory Coast twice in history, and as an unknown team in Africa, the Chinese team defeated Ivory Coast 91-77 in the rematch at the 1982 World Championships. Then at the 1986 World Championships, China won 84-72 again and won the crucial battle to advance to the second stage. Therefore, the Chinese team has an advantage in playing the Ivory Coast team.
What's even more interesting is that Ivory Coast has only participated in the World Championships three times in total, and all three times they have met the Chinese team, so it can be said that both teams are very lucky.
The average height of Ivory Coast is only 1.95 meters, the Chinese team has an absolute advantage in height, and the players of the Ivory Coast team are very young, so Deng Huade did not arrange Sun Shine and Da Yao, who performed well in the last game, to play, but continued the starting lineup of the last game.
It turns out that even with such a lineup, the Chinese team can still beat the Ivory Coast team.
At the beginning of the first quarter of the game, Wang Zhizhi made a jump shot, and then Wang Shipeng broke through and scored a three-pointer to help China lead 5-3.
Because the opponents are generally not tall, Deng Huade arranged for the Chinese team to play more inside, and Yi Jian even hit the inside line and caused Ramizana to foul for the second time.
But the opponent is not a vegetarian either, and they don't want to go home like this, so they know that there are tigers in the mountains, and they prefer to go to the tiger mountain, and they continue to win inside to overtake the score.
In this case, Deng Huade still did not send Sun Shine and Da Yao to play, because Deng Huade knew very well that he also needed to train, and Da Yao's injury was not good, so he could only participate in this World Championships, and Sun Shine was completely in the nature of playing tickets, who knows if he would do it in the future.
Deng Huade arranged the tactics and strengthened the defense.
With 4 minutes and 33 seconds left in the game, Yi Jianlian broke through the right baseline and dunked with both hands, and then hit a jumper near the free throw line to help China lead 14-11 again.
After that, Wang Zhizhi stepped back and scored a jumper, and Wang Shipeng also scored a three-pointer on the left side, and the game ended after Wang Zhizhi hit a layup, and China led Ivory Coast 21-17 in the first quarter.
Many spectators were watching the game tonight, and they were like seeing how good the mascot Sun Shine was, but who knew that Sun Shine had been pressed on the bench, and even Da Yao did not appear.
"Coach Zhang, why did Coach Deng Huade arrange it like this?" Sun Zhenping asked on behalf of the fans.
Zhang Weiping thought for a while and replied: "The strength of Ivory Coast is not very strong, I guess Deng Huade intends to exercise the team, after all, there is no opportunity to exercise the team later, and Da Yao is injured, you can rest more, Sun Shine is still defense-oriented, so it will be arranged like this, unless there is a major change, otherwise I think the two of them may not play in today's game." ”
As Zhang Weiping said, in the second quarter of the game, Sun Shine and Da Yao did not play, but some young people played and performed.
The performance of the Chinese team was not very good, and Ivory Coast's Abouvo scored five points in a row inside and outside, and was asked to be called out by China, which overtook the score.
After coming back, Wang Shipeng hit a three-point shot from the outside, Yi Jian turned around and made a layup, and Liu Wei made a jumper on the right side, once again taking the initiative of the game back into his hands.
Since then, the Chinese team's offense has played impressively, but the men's basketball team's frontcourt protection and fast attack defense have not done a good job, so the score gap between the two sides has not been widened.
At the critical moment, Wang Shipeng and Ding Jinghui hit consecutive three-pointers to help China extend the lead to nine points, Ding Jinghui hit a three-pointer in the bottom right corner with one minute left in the quarter, and finally at halftime, China took an eight-point lead at 41-33.
"Ding Jinghui's performance in this game is good, it is very eye-catching." Sun Zhenping couldn't help but say.
"Yes, we in China actually have no shortage of good players, and we still need to dig more." Zhang Weiping also nodded.
"But this game is against Ivory Coast, a team that is not very strong, so the performance of the team is not perfect." Zhang Weiping said very sincerely.
"The team without Da Yao and Sun Shiner is indeed not good enough." Sun Zhenping also agreed with Zhang Weiping's words.
At the beginning of the second half of the game, the Chinese team continued the performance of the first half, Wang Shipeng first hit a three-point shot on the left side, and then hit two free throws, scoring his 17th personal point and helping the men's basketball team lead by 13 points.
"Wang Shipeng is a player with a big heart, and he has performed many times." Sun Zhenping commented on Wang Shipeng.
When it comes to the World Championships, there is no team with a playful attitude, and although Ivory Coast is weak, they still want to work hard.
After that, Cohen of Ivory Coast hit a three-point shot on the left baseline, and at the critical moment, Yi Jianlian hit a continuous hook shot inside, and then Yi Jianlian scored his 19th point with consecutive free throws, and the Chinese men's basketball team also led the opponent by 11 points.
"Yi Jianlian is still very leader-like, especially when Da Yao is not playing."
"Yes, the hope of the Chinese men's basketball team still depends on Yi Jianlian."
After that, Kyle hit a three-point shot, Liu Wei then broke through the board to score, Diabet hit a three-point shot, and Wang Shipeng immediately returned the color with a three-point shot on the left side and scored his second score. At one minute and forty-four seconds, Yi Jian quickly inserted into the basket and scored his 21st point with both hands after receiving the top of the arc, and the Chinese men's basketball team continued to expand its lead.
At the end of the quarter, China led Côte d'Ivoire by 15 points, 66-51.
In the last game, it was also a fifteen-point lead, and in the end it was almost overturned by the Greek team, but this time the Chinese team was much more careful.
In the last quarter of the game, Ivory Coast started the game, here Cornet made the first layup, there Yi Jian even dunked with both hands without showing weakness, here Eddie hit a three-point shot on the right side, and Zhou Peng immediately made a layup and colored, and the gap between the two sides did not narrow.
At the last moment, Ivory Coast chased the score violently, and the Chinese team made the old mistake again, missed consecutive shots, and was chased by Côte d'Ivoire to nine points.
At this time, the veteran Liu Wei broke through to the layup and stabilized the situation.
In the final stage, the men's basketball team continued to miss consecutive attacks, and Ivory Coast's Diabet took the opportunity to hit a three-point shot on the left side to narrow the score to eight points, but Zhou Peng immediately made a jumper to extend the advantage to 10.
There is one minute and eleven seconds left, Ivory Coast has not given up the game, Diabet arc top three-point hit narrowed the score to seven points, and at the last moment, the teenager Ding Jinghui made two free throws to lock up the victory, and finally China defeated Ivory Coast 83-73 to win two consecutive victories in this competition.
