The French team also has the advantage of defending on the outside. The five players on the pitch were very mobile and had plenty of attacking firepower, reaching the final of last year's European Championships.

Batum played four seasons with the Trail Blazers and his level is improving. He hit a three-pointer and a steal followed by a fast-break dunk to help the team bite the score.

Dior and Parker dealt with Zhou Xuan, and also allowed him to break through and be blocked, so he could only pass the ball to the periphery, and the basket was blocked. Sun Yue's hand on the periphery of China is still very bad, and he didn't score twice from a distance. Wang Shipeng also lost all 3 shots. In the crucial game, the outside line was dumb.

Fortunately, Yi Jianlian threw two mid-range shots after blocking and dismantling, and Zhou Xuan also received Sun Yue's pass in the bottom corner and threw three points. China led by five points at 23-18 in the first quarter.

In the second quarter, France had the upper hand. In order to make up for the weakness of the lack of attack power of the substitutes, Yao Ming came on the field to lead the substitute attack.

But in this way, the players passed the ball to Yao Ming every time, and then stood still and waited for the opportunity, returning to the path of 2008. Only Chen Jianghua broke out twice, and the result was a quick counterattack score.

Big forward Seraphim abused Wang Zhizhi, he was too strong, and he was very explosive, and it was not easy to defend one-on-one. De Colo is also stronger than veteran Liu Wei.

Four minutes later, France went on a 10-2 spurt to overtake the score.

The Chinese team hurriedly replaced Zhou Xuan and Yi Jianlian, and replaced Wang Zhizhi and Chen Jianghua. The other two on the outside line are Liu Wei and Zhu Fangyu.

After this substitution, the situation was stabilized, Zhu Fangyu, Zhou Xuan, and Yao Ming played a triangle attack, and Yi Jianlian attracted the defense in a high position and passed the ball.

Zhou Xuan and Yi Jianlian are in the same room, and they have taught a lot of passing experience, Yi Jianlian has a height advantage after blocking and dismantling, he doesn't need to deliberately find someone, he just needs to wait for his teammates to run after taking the ball, and pass to a fixed place, so that the passing becomes much easier. He only needs to observe two points, the bottom corner and the basket, and pass to Yao Ming or Zhou Xuan, so it doesn't matter if the passing awareness is poor.

In the second half, both sides did not hit high shots, and China fell behind 38-42 at halftime, scoring only 15 points in a single quarter.

Zhou Xuan had 7 points and 3 assists in the half. Yao Ming had the best performance, with 16 points and 6 rebounds, and is likely to have a big double-double.

Yu Jia sighed: "In the first half, the Chinese team broke through too little, and Zhou Xuan's desire to attack today doesn't seem to be too strong, so it's not good." ”

Parker had just six points and one assist in the half, and the two limited each other. Zhang said reasonably.

Zhou Xuan broke through less, because he knew Parker's habits, and made sacrifices to prevent Parker, after Parker broke in, the outside line was prone to vacancy, and he had to change positions at any time to interfere with the shot. The main reason is that the Chinese team's outside defense is too poor, Liu Wei played well in 2008, and he can't do it now. can only rely on the defense of the NBA three and Sun Yue. Others are basically stepped over, defended by their eyes.

Deng Huade arranged Liu Wei and Zhou Xuan to form a double guard in the second half, Sun Yue as a small forward, and Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian on the inside. In order to win this game, they can no longer conserve their stamina.

Deng Huade knew that someone on the outside line had to break through the attack, so Zhou Xuan went to the No. 2 position. Coincidentally, France also replaced Petrus in order to strengthen the attack, leaving De Colo and Parker to form a double back. If Zhou Xuan is asked to defend against the muscle stick Petrus, the pressure is really great. De Colo has played for the Warriors, Zhou Xuan is well aware of his characteristics, and Liu Wei can keep up.

France attacked first and used a double block, Yao Ming went out to change the guard to shoot, De Colo broke through with the ball and rushed into the basket for a layup, Yi Jianlian quickly retracted to make up for the defense and covered the ball.

Neither Turyaf nor Seraphim can shoot, and they can be released on the perimeter after blocking, which is France's weakness.

Sun Yue picked up the basketball and passed it to Liu Wei, Zhou Xuan had already played a fast attack, and Parker followed the defense.

The ball passed to Zhou Xuan, and he took it all the way to the bottom line, ready to play singles. Parker followed closely from the side, faster than Zhou Xuan, and was not thrown away.

Parker is one of the top five point guards on the roster, Delon is not in good shape, Kidd, Nash are aging, and Rose is seriously injured and he doesn't know what the future holds. The only ones who stabilized him were Paul and Zhou Xuan.

The gap between the two is in all aspects, not only in terms of ball skills, Zhou Xuan's girlfriends are more famous than Parker's ex-wife, Zhou Xuan's popularity is too much better than him, and Parker has some resentment.

Parker is known as a French sports car, extremely fast, is one of the defenders in the restricted area to score the most points, because he uses speed skills to break through the basket for layups and throws many moments, his mid-to-long-range shooting ability has also improved greatly, and now he has just turned 30 He is also considered the peak of his career, Parker's scoring ability is superb, but his ability to assist and pass the ball is slightly worse. Because at Spurs, his playing time is limited, but he is efficient, and the statistics are not particularly pretty. When it comes to the French team, he is the absolute core, and in this case, he does not want to lose to Zhou Xuan of the Chinese team again.

Zhou Xuan also doesn't want to lose Parker, no one has ever said that Parker has a good defense, he is 188CM tall, weighs 84 kg, and has average confrontation ability, this kind of player Zhou Xuan is not afraid.

In the low post on the right side, Zhou Xuan leaned on Parker's back, with his right foot as the axis, took a step with his left foot and turned half-around to the bottom line, attracting Parker to move, retracting with his left foot, turning around with his right foot, and throwing a 45-degree backward jumper.

Parker had a headache when he saw this action, which was clearly what Duncan was good at, while Zhou Xuan's movements were lighter, and he leaned back, he couldn't cover it, so he could only seal his eyes, and the ball hit the board into the frame.

40-42, Zhou Xuan's personal 9th point.

France attacked, Parker broke through with the ball, and was sandwiched by Yi Jianlian and Zhou Xuan. The Chinese team was wrapping Parker throughout the game, and Zhou Xuan knew that Yi Jianlian couldn't prevent it, so Parker gave the ball to Dior in the middle.

Yao Ming pounced to defend, Dio shared the ball, and Yi Jianlian quickly returned to the basket and resisted Turiaf. If the butcher had the ability to attack, the Chinese defense line would have been full of mistakes, but now it can only be passed out again.

Dior has an advantage in single-handedly beating Yao Ming, but he won't do that. Some say Dio is too selfless, he's a good role player, but he's not a star who can take on the scoring load in key moments. He can do anything, and his career-high score is only 31.

After a few passes, Batum missed a jump shot under Sun Yue's interference, and Yi Jianlian grabbed the rebound. The Chinese team made another fast attack, Zhou Xuan received the ball in the front court, and continuously dribbled under the crotch and opened up the distance with Pakla.

The French players retreated very quickly, playing 3 and 4 in the front, so Zhou Xuan had to stabilize the situation. Waiting for Yao Ming to come up, he made a block and dismantled and faced Dior.

Turyaf retreated to the basket, and Parker chased after Zhou Xuan. Zhou Xuan passed the ball to the middle, Yao Ming took the ball and took aim, and scored a high jumper. 42 to 42.

Diola went to the high post to block and missed. His shooting ability is inconsistent and he doesn't have Yao's obvious height advantage.

Yi Jianlian took the backcourt rebound. In the NBA, he is very unsatisfactory, but his rebounding ability is not inferior to Turyav, and he has an advantage in height and arm span. Ever since Turiaf arrived at the Warriors, he seems to have forgotten how to grab rebounds.

In the positional battle of the Chinese team, Yao Ming pulled to the high position to block and dismantle, and Yi Jianlian went to the low position. This is a very smart change, playing Dior Yi Jianlian has a height advantage, although Dior is now fattening, the ability to resist people has become stronger, the height is only 203CM, it is difficult to interfere with the shooting, Yi Jianlian is just a shooting type, or turn around to break through, rarely rely on strength to hit the inside back, play a role in restraint.

France didn't dare to let Turiaf defend the defenders, and after Yao Ming blocked and dismantled in a high position, Dior still kept up with Zhou Xuan. Zhou Xuan took two steps to the right and crossed the middle, Yao Ming took a step forward from the free throw line to catch the ball, held it high, ignored Parker's defense, and made a jumper. 44 to 42.

The French generals and coaches all had a headache, and they were about to die in the hands of Yao Ming today. Such a big man who can shoot is really hard to guard against. When they played the United States in the group stage, Kevin Love's ability to withdraw from the air made them very depressed, and Lefou's actual height was only 206CM.

France attacked, Yao Ming guarded the basket, and the others guarded the pitcher and continued to put Dior and Turyaf to attack. Turiaf had no offensive power on the perimeter, couldn't grab rebounds under the basket, and was completely suppressed by Yao Ming. Dio has never killed an opponent with a shot. Today, he felt average and lacked confidence, and he also chose to pass the ball under Zhou Xuan's interference.

If Dior catches the ball and throws, he may be able to ensure accuracy, but Zhou Xuan is good at disrupting the opponent's rhythm by constantly changing positions. After a few passes, Parker forced a breakthrough and missed a backhand layup under Yao Ming's interference, and Yao Ming took the rebound and threw it to the frontcourt. Liu Wei received the ball and took it across the half court, passed it to Zhou Xuan who was inserted on the right side, Batum made up for the defense, and Zhou Xuan passed the ball to Sun Yue.

Sun Yue's fast break speed is amazing, and he is also very tall, although Dio follows from the side, he still catches the ball and forces the basketball to score. 46 to 42.

Zhou Xuan sent three assists in a row. Led the team to an 8-0 attack wave.

The French team asked for a timeout, Seraphim went up and Turyaf went down. On the periphery, Petrus replaced De Corlo, who was running back and forth.

In this way, the height of the outside line increases, and the inside line is shorter. This is a forced adjustment, and today Turyaf is too bad to compete with Yao Ming.

The Chinese team also replaced Liu Wei and replaced Wang Shipeng to increase the height. Otherwise, it will be very difficult to defend against Petrus. Petrus played on the court, received the ball and singled Wang Shipeng, got rid of it with strength, and made a quick stop jump shot. Then he received Parker's ball and hit a three-pointer to complete the comeback.

On the side of the Chinese team, Sun Yue finally received a pass from Yao Ming and shot three points. Sun Yue has been practicing three points during training, and as early as when he heard that Zhou Xuan was going to join the national team, Deng Huade was ready to play a triangle attack. Sun Yue, as one of the corners, if it is not enough to just take on the defensive task, today he finally did not disappoint.

Both sides have their own strengths, you come and go, and you can't pull away from the score. The third quarter was tied at 58.

France's offense was not good, scoring only 16 points in a single quarter.

Entering the crucial fourth quarter, Yao Ming went down to rest for a while, Wang Zhizhi came on the court, did not do well on the defensive end, was beaten twice by Seraphim, and Wang Zhizhi was entangled on the offensive end, and there was no good shooting opportunity. Parker finally found his senses, made two free throws from the foul, and assisted Batum to shoot a three-pointer in the bottom corner.

Only Zhou Xuan of the Chinese team scored 4 points by breaking through to the layup and blocking the jumper. Deng Huade replaced Wang Zhizhi 4 minutes later and replaced Yao Ming, and the time for the decisive battle came.
