Chapter 222: The Terror of the Dream Team (Part I)
The game was over, and the Chinese team broke out a big upset, defeating the seeded team Russia 95-66, and won all three games in the group stage to advance. www.biquge.info Russia also became the second seeded team after Argentina to lose. After a hard-fought battle, Argentina narrowly defeated Australia 81-77 and struggled to reach the knockout round. They will face a strong opponent, the top team in Group A, Serbia.
ABC's three groups are over, the top two virtues in Group D are 2 wins and 2 wins to qualify in advance, and the top 8 matches have actually been produced. At this time, all the teams have their eyes on the final battle between Germany and Germany, and they all hope that the strong Germany can force the true strength of the dream team.
But the start didn't seem to be what they wanted, and the U.S. team hid a number of main players. Only two Miracle Generation players were fielded, Sean. Davis and Jema. Iverson, the remaining three main players are Meeks from Duke University. Williams, Georgetown University's Downey Brown. Duncan and Nick. Brown.
"Meeks and Duncan have both competed with me, and they weren't very strong in terms of strength." Liu Chuan commented objectively: "But Davis and Iverson are completely different dimensions. ”
"What level is the U.S. team?" Hanamichi has an idea of the high level of basketball in the United States, but he lacks a clear understanding of how high it is. "That Iverson guy doesn't seem to be particularly powerful."
"Don't measure him by his high school level, this guy has improved a lot." Liu Chuan said with a serious face: "Zebei and I have both suffered losses at his hands. ”
Zebei thought for a while and said: "Let's describe it like this, it can be understood that there are 5 Liang Kuan in the United States, or even 5 guys who are more powerful than Liang Kuan." The analogy was so apt that everyone else understood it at once.
CCTV commentator Sun Zhengpi has already gushed out: "The most eye-catching of the players on the stage is undoubtedly Sean. Davis, center from the University of Connecticut, an NCAA runner-up team. Former NBA superstar Anthony. Davis's youngest son, he inherited his father's long build, and even came out of the blue. The height reaches 224cm, and the arm span is an astonishing 234cm! ”
"These long arms gave him a unique power under the basket, and before he entered the NBA, he was hailed by the American media as the first person in history to protect the basket." Director Zhang's English is good, and he is also very concerned about the articles of his colleagues in the American media: "I don't know if this young man can deserve this kind of reputation." ”
"Now the two centers are ready to jump ball." Sun Zhengpi continued: "The center forward of the German team is Peter. Frank, also a very good young player, is known as the number one center forward of the young generation in Europe. However, his height is 209cm, and standing in front of Davis feels a lot shorter. ”
"This height doesn't mean anything." Director Zhang pointed out correctly: "There was a center forward in Germany named Sean back then. Bradley, who is 229cm tall, has few results. Compared with his junior international players, Nowitzki, Gasol, and Yao Ming are much worse. ”
As soon as the referee threw the ball, Sean. Davis rose to his feet, feeling like he was on top of the ball, waiting for the ball to fly to the highest point before slapping it out with one palm, and easily jumped to win Frank.
"That's terrifying, isn't it?" The Chinese players were shocked. Looking at this height, Hanamichi and Liang Kuan probably won't be able to win against him.
Brown didn't stop receiving the ball and went straight to Iverson in front of him. Iverson was lightning fast, flicked the ball in his left hand, and took a big step to break to the right. The German players were caught off guard and were thrown straight behind.
Iverson hit a basket and hit an easy layup for the U.S. team to take the lead.
It was Germany's turn to attack, but Davis went to the basket and the entire box was covered. The German players felt the pressure and seemed to get into Davies' range as soon as they broke through the first line of defence.
Cal. Schmitz knew that there were tigers in the mountains and favored the tigers, and dribbled through Williams' defense. But Davis stood under the basket and only took half a step forward, and as soon as his giant palm was extended, it was almost sealed on the opponent's face.
Schmitz was taken aback and found that he had no chance to shoot at all, and hurriedly distributed to the outside. But Iverson waited for a long time, and he broke the ball with a lightning start, and drove straight to the opponent's basket to score a slam dunk, 4-0.
"Jema. Iverson, a scoring guard from the University of Memphis, an NCAA championship team, is the NCAA's scoring champion this year. Jefferson is 199cm tall and has a very impressive speed. His 100-meter record is said to be 9.99 seconds, which is enough to surpass many professional sprinters! ”
"For us Chinese, it is very rare to score 10 seconds. In 2015, Chinese sprinter Su Bingtian ran the same 9.99 seconds, making him the first yellow man in history to run under 10 seconds! Director Zhang checked the information before introducing.
"So once the ball is broken by Iverson, it's dangerous. He's a big threat to his fast break. Sun Zhengpi said.
"yes, when I was younger, there was a guy in the NBA named Devin. Harris's player, known as the No. 1 Scud in basketball. His 100-meter speed is only 10.34 seconds. ”
While the two were talking, the German team finally scored, 4-2.
The goal was scored by Germany's No. 41 player, Heinz. Nowitzki. Nice step-back shot. Nowitzki is 2.04 meters tall and has a high shooting point, which makes it difficult for Duncan to block his shot. ”
"The grandfathers of these two players were NBA superstars back then, but I didn't expect that 40 years later, their grandchildren would play against each other on the international stage again." Director Zhang recalled the scene of the superstar competition of the Stone Buddha Heavenly King back then.
After a few rounds, the German team also played well under Nowitzki's leadership. Nowitzki's mid-to-long-range shooting was very accurate, and he repeatedly launched counterattacks, and the United States only led slightly 26-17 in the first quarter.
"The black charcoal head in the United States has made a lot of progress compared to that year, but the hooked nose in Germany is much stronger than him." Ikebana commented.
"Sure enough, in addition to us in the United States, there are also miracle players in Europe." Iverson wiped his sweat and laughed: "Sure enough, it's a bit interesting to have such an opponent." ”
"What's the point, I didn't lead to double digits at the end of the quarter." Kidd said contemptuously.
"It looks like Germany has three opponents at this level. Who's coming? Davis looked at Cato, but Cato closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep and ignored him. Kidd also looked disdainful.
"I'll do it. Cato, Kidd, don't be lazy when you play Russia. "Joe with a beard. Battier stepped forward: "It's time for the Nazis to suffer." ”
