Chapter 483: Bogut's Thoughts
Sun Hao's Japanese level is limited to a few familiar words.
That's because he learned it when he watched movies in his previous life.
So he didn't go to see the reaction of the fans in the Japanese forum, but in fact, it was already fried inside after the game.
"We haven't watched a game for a few years, is our basketball already weak to this extent?"
"We used to lose by a maximum of 20 or 30 points, but now we have 60 points...... At first, I thought I was dazzled. ”
"Sure enough, baseball and soccer are more suitable for us, basketball or something is too boring."
"The Takeuchi brothers are too bad, any newcomer in China is much better than them."
"The Chinese team is now the same as the American Dream Team, Yao Ming is the world's No. 1 center, Sun Hao is the No. 1 defender in the universe, what do we play?"
"It's not that we're too weak, it's that our opponents are too strong and our grouping is unlucky."
"Yes, this group also includes Australia and Slovenia, and we are in the group of death!"
"So don't be discouraged, there is still a future for Japanese basketball, and we will also find our Sun Hao!"
"Why don't you say that Yao Ming found us? We are now the frogs at the bottom of the well! ”
"We're so short! Let's go to football, that's the sport for us. ”
"I think it's a matter of race, aren't there a lot of foreign blacks in our country? Try breeding a hybrid? ”
"That's a good idea, let those pro-American women do their due contribution to Japan!"
"Looking forward to it! As long as you can win, this will be the best solution. ”
……
Japanese fans are discussing their future basketball prospects, while domestic fans are reveling in the victory.
"What Brother Takeuchi, I think it's just the strength of our CBA ordinary rotation players, and it's not enough to see it in front of the UAE!"
"I saw it, Sun Hao didn't sweat, and he was still drinking wolfberry tea on the sidelines!"
"It's almost time to play the Japanese team and play health basketball, you don't really think they can beat us, do you?"
"It's not me saying, I feel like I'm watching the Dream Team play in this game, our men's basketball team is really strong!"
"Of course, you don't look at our lineup, three NBA All-Stars, plus two NBA rotations, the key is to play together for a long time and still have a tacit understanding!"
"Haha, cool, I've never seen the men's basketball team so awesome in my life!"
"The key will continue to be awesome!"
"Yes, yes, Yao Ming and Sun Hao, one is 26, one is 25, at least two more Olympic Games, and then there is the United Arab Emirates, and then Sun Yue!"
"Sun Yue is really okay, I didn't notice it before, and it really deserves to be the same surname as Sun Hao!"
"That's right, his chasing hat amazed me, and he has a good three points, and the key is that he looks very handsome, and he loves it!"
"So the people named Zhuge are very smart, and the people surnamed Sun are very good at playing?"
"Anyway, anyway, it's cool to see the Japanese team abuse so many points? I don't know how the next game will be played. ”
"What else? Continue to abuse? Next game against Slovenia, then Australia, then Sergar and Puerto Rico? Win all! ”
"Cool? Takeoff! ”
……
The format of the World Championships is one game a day, but this year, due to the expansion of the team, the intensity of the competition has increased, and this time there will be a day off after two games.
The Chinese team also ended the day after the match against the Japanese team? ushered in the competition with the Slovenian team.
Slovenia are on a wild card, but that doesn't mean they don't have the quality.
The intensity of the European Championships? It is second only to the World Championships and the Olympic Games.
Although the number of places has been expanded this time, there are only six places in Europe.
There are a lot of places, but count the European teams: Spain, Lithuania, Serbia and Montenegro, Greece, France, Italy, Russia, Germany, Turkey, Croatia, ......
These teams don't have a soft persimmon? With a little bad luck, the spot may be gone.
The Slovenian team also has NBA players in the squad, with Spurs bench duo Nesterovic and Judri at the heart of the team both inside and out.
In addition, there is another member of this team that Sun Hao knows, Goran Dragic.
At this time, Dragic had not yet landed in the NBA, and he was only 20 years old when he was born in 86, making him the youngest player on the Slovenian team.
Of course, the youngest was still an underage and sat next to his father, Sasa Doncic, watching the game.
Luka also came to watch the World Championships, and it is unknown whether he is cheering for his country or his godfather.
The Slovenian team is much stronger than the Japanese team, but after the start of the game, they still did not pose much threat to the Chinese team.
They have a mature offensive system and plenty of tacit understanding, but they also encountered the problems that the Japanese team encountered, and the strong point of the Chinese team is too strong.
Nesterovic couldn't guard against Yao Ming at all in the NBA, although he didn't defend for three seconds in the FIBA arena...... It's still completely unguardable.
Not to mention Yu Dry, who is on top with Sun Hao.
Coupled with Yi Jianlian and Zhu Fangyu, the internal and external firepower points, they have both space and athletic ability.
The current lineup of the Chinese team is not reasonable.
91 to 67.
Just when some people were still worried about whether the first game was because the opponent Japan was too weak to make the Chinese team very strong, the Chinese team won the game bloodlessly.
And Sun Hao still didn't sweat, the biggest difference from the last game was probably just a later check-in.
From the previous half-time check-in, it has become a three-quarter check-in.
This is the happiest, and it belongs to Li Yuanwei who was present to watch the game.
The smile on that face was brighter than any flower.
Although the Chinese team won the Olympic championship two years ago, many games were not easy or even difficult.
But now, this feeling of beating a European team is really ...... Wonderful!
Before leaving, he said that he played the World Championships as the Asian Championships to build confidence for the team, but now it seems that it is not!
After the game, Luka ran to his godfather with a smile on his face.
"Godfather, I've noticed that you've gotten a lot better passing."
This little guy is very perceptive.
"I'll teach you when I'm done with the World Championships."
Sun Hao touched Doncic's little head.
He now really hopes that Doncic can grow up early and enter the NBA as soon as possible to play a "father-son basketball" with him.
……
After two consecutive wins in the opening competition, the Chinese team firmly occupied the first place in Group B with the advantage of goal difference.
Their next game is against Australia, who are also in contention for top spot in Group B.
In the previous game, Australia beat Senegal and narrowly beat Puerto Rico, and like China, it was also 2-0.
On this off-season, the media was also active.
The outstanding performance of the Chinese team since the beginning of the game has attracted much attention, but Harris did not arrange team training in the offseason, and the media did not have the opportunity to interview them.
They had to turn around and go to cover the Australian team.
Australia and China haven't played each other many times in history, but there is no shortage of highlights.
The biggest attraction is, of course...... Zhu Fangyu and Bogut.
Zhu Batie Fist's fight in the NBA was a combination punch against Bogut.
After that game, Zhu Fangyu has become a "villain", and players on various NBA teams are afraid of him.
Now that the two of them have gone from the NBA schedule to the international arena, it's definitely a big attraction.
You must know that the national team game is not as good as the NBA, and the sense of national honor is completely different.
After the Australian team's training, the reporter went directly to interview Bogut.
At this time, the Australian men's basketball team has not yet reached its peak, and people like Dellavendova, Mills, Baines, and Ingles, who are familiar to Sun Hao, have not yet reached the national team.
As the champion, Bogut is not only the most famous, but also the "captain" of this team.
"What do you think of tomorrow's opponent, the Chinese team?"
This Japanese female reporter is in good shape, and her suit can't cover the northern hemisphere.
Bogut couldn't help but glance down in front of the camera.
The advantage of growing tall is that you can see scenery that others can't.
"They're Olympic champions and they're one of the favourites to win this tournament, they're very strong."
Bogut's answer came as a surprise.
It's not the same way he's always done in the NBA!
But it's understandable.
The current strength of the Chinese team is no longer at the same level as in history.
Although Bogut is hateful, it does not mean that people are stupid.
"Do you think Australia have a chance to win?"
The female reporter did not shy away from Bogut's gaze, but rather enjoyed being admired.
"Of course, the stronger the opponent, the more we are targeted."
Bogut said this with his eyes looking directly at the female reporter, and there was something in his words.
When the interview was over, the cameras were turned off, and Bogut whistled at the female reporter.
The female reporter barely managed to squeeze out a smile, then turned around and walked away quickly.
This Australian, does he think of her as someone in that kind of industry?
It's fun to be appreciated, but if you think it's okay to be casual, it must be that kind of movie that you watched too much.
In particular, this player is still bald.
Bogut thought he could go to the base tonight, and he was in high spirits.
However, seeing that the other party was boring, he was suddenly a little bored.
He's going to have to put that interest into tomorrow's game.
He is telling the truth, the Chinese team is very strong now, but he also has absolute confidence.
Basketball is not played by a few people, and Australia's overall strength is significantly more even.
As long as the score is not pulled too far away in the first quarter, the further back they go, the better the chances of hitting them.
Thereupon......
A day later.
The group stage between China and Australia was scheduled for the afternoon.
A large number of Chinese fans came to the scene, accounting for more than 70% of the attendance of the entire stadium.
The spectacle stunned the Australian fans who entered the stadium.
Because of this golden generation men's basketball team, the influence of basketball in China has reached an unprecedented level.
In particular, many fans at the scene also pulled out banners similar to "Chinese men's basketball team", which made people adrenaline-rushing.
"Today is very different!"
Zhu Fangyu rubbed his hands.
"It's not because of you."
Sun Hao said with a smile.
He bet that most of the fans who had more fans than in the previous game were coming for Zhu Fangyu.
Zhu Fangyu scratched her head.
With so many fans watching him play because of his fists, should he laugh happily? Or should I laugh sadly?
"I have to pass you more today."
Sun Hao smiled and touched Zhu Fangyu's head.
Well, you have to convert the fans who come to watch the boxing into the fans!
Zhu Fangyu nodded, this time in the World Championships, he had a feeling that as long as it was Sun Hao's pass, he would shoot more accurately.
Sun Hao said so, he must invest more.
The scene entered the opening ceremony, and the starting lists on both sides were also released.
The Chinese team is still the previous starting lineup, Sun Hao, Wang Shipeng, Zhu Fangyu, Yi Jianlian, Yao Ming.
On the Australian side, Bruton, Jason Smith, Mark Worthington, David Barrow, Bogut.
This starting lineup, most fans also know Bogut.
However, the Chinese team was well prepared before the game, and the Chinese team still knew a few key points on the other side.
Bruton and Worthington are the core of this Australian team.
Worthington is young, but the best player in the NCAA Division II and is very talented.
Bruton, on the other hand, is a black defender, born in the United States, and then changed his hukou to Australia, which is a change of direction.
There was an interesting scene during the pre-match handshake.
I don't know if it was intentional or accidental, the object of Bogut's handshake happened to be Zhu Fangyu.
As a result, he walked up to him without stretching out his hand, and just turned around and walked back.
Zhu Fangyu was stunned for a moment.
Sun Hao patted him on the shoulder.
"him."
The two words full of traditional Chinese culture express the meaning most directly.
Whether Bogut was afraid or provoked Zhu Fangyu, he did the right thing anyway.
Zhu Fangyu nodded vigorously.
Sun Hao encouraged him more than once tonight, and he couldn't let Sun Hao down.
After the handshake, both sides started their debuts, and the game officially began.
Bogut jumped up first to bring the ball back into the half, and it was clear from the opening reaction that he was holding back his energy.
Bruton advanced to the frontcourt, faced Wang Shipeng's defense, and accelerated to change direction after the mid-range pullup jumper.
This hand is the most common style of play for American defenders.
"Bang!"
The ball hit the rebound and bounced off and landed in the net.
Bruton topped the list for Australia.
The Chinese team attacked, and the opening ball continued to hang inside.
Bogut waved his long arms, blushed to defend against Yao Ming's first attack, and took off the defensive rebound.
Australia attacked the front again, and Bruton once again passed Wang Shipeng's defense.
To say that the only weakness of this Chinese team is the scoring guard.
Wang Shipeng's offense is okay, but the defense is a little insufficient in high-level confrontation.
Bruton rushed inside after passing Wang Shipeng, Yao Ming helped defend it, and Bruton showed the team's tacit understanding and distributed the ball to the left side of the basket under the basket.
Bogut takes the ball and takes a step.
"Bang!"
A two-handed slam dunk.
4 to 0!
Australia got off to a dream start.
After the dunk, Bogut seemed to forget what he had said before the game, and after the dunk, he hung on the basket for a while before hitting the ground.
And after landing, he roared angrily at the direction of the Chinese team's bench.
Originally, his idea was not to be pulled away by the Chinese team too much in the first quarter, but now it seems that he overestimated the Chinese team.
They're going to have to build an edge in the first quarter! Defeat the Chinese team in one fell swoop!
