"I think so."

Yao Ming definitely didn't know what Sun Hao was thinking, but he nodded with a smile after thinking about it.

Sun Hao couldn't help but laugh when he saw Yao Ming's reaction.

They're really a YY duo!

However, it can also be seen from this that Yao Ming, like him, is very ambitious.

Of course, people always have to have dreams.

If you don't have a dream, it's the same as Wang Zhelin.

Of course, dreams are not delusions, and for them to do that, they have to play every game.

Those who can enter the World Championships are all strong teams, and any game is careless.

The format of this year's World Championships is no different from the past.

There are 4 groups, a total of 16 teams, and the top three teams in each group will enter the semi-final stage and be divided into Group E and Group F, and then the top four will be selected in the group competition.

These eight teams are the top eight teams in the World Championships.

If Sun Hao's "reaching the finals" is set as a big goal, then it actually needs to complete many small goals.

Finish the top three in the group, get the top four in the semi-final group, quarter-finals, semi-finals, finals.

Basically, there are 5 small goals to achieve.

The difficulty can be seen in terms of quantity.

And the Chinese team was "lucky" in this year's grouping, and was grouped in a group with the American team.

In this group, in addition to the United States and China, there are also Germany and Algeria.

Algeria is an African team, and with it, this group is not a group of death.

However, the remaining Germany and the United States, the Chinese team is also a little difficult to group.

Not to mention how difficult it is to win against the United States, it is this Germany that has won the third place in history.

If the Chinese team is not good, it will be third in the group, and then enter the semi-finals, and if you are not careful, you may miss the quarterfinals.

Even if you reach the quarterfinals, there is a high probability that you will face the group winner in another group.

It's not a death group, but it's likely to go to hell mode.

However, if you can do it casually, then what kind of ambition is it!

On August 30, the Chinese team ushered in the first opponent of the group stage on the first day of the opening match...... Algeria team.

In the face of the African brothers, the men's basketball team showed its usual style, relaxed and happy, and won the first victory with a 96-76 victory.

Don't think that this score is high, the Chinese team's playing style at this time is not much different from the last century, that is, playing small and fast.

And when Wang Fei ran to the Mavericks, he learned the tactics of running and bombing.

Although the game is not a run and bomb, the core is to defend and counterattack, and play fast-paced basketball.

In fact, before Yao Ming showed his dominance, the men's basketball team had always played this way.

An expected victory, and the players played very relaxed.

And if you win this game, you will basically lock up the third place in the group and qualify ahead of schedule.

Then the opponent of the Chinese team in the second game of the group stage is the United States team.

This game will be very crucial for the Chinese team.

If you lose this time, you will have to fight the German team to the death and fight for second place in the group.

The Chinese team and the United States team have played each other many times in history, and they have basically lost miserably, scoring less than 50 points at the worst time, and even losing by 63 points.

However, the World Championships were much better, losing by just over 20 points on several occasions.

The last time they met was the last World Championships, and the Chinese team lost by 26 points 81-107.

This difference is easy to explain, after all, the World Championships are not the Olympics, and the importance of the American men's basketball team is different.

This is also the reason why this time, even if it is a home battle, the American team only sent this kind of lineup.

To put it bluntly, this is called self-confidence.

Don't think it's arrogant, since the formation of the Dream Team, the U.S. men's basketball team has a 57-0 record in the World Series.

That's what the numbers suggest, 57 wins in a row.

It's not like O'Neal's grandmother can win with the team, it's a bench with a few dogs, and it can win.

So it's no surprise that the U.S. would send such a lineup.

And everything is going as the Americans expected.

On the same day that China played Algeria, the match between the United States and Germany also ended.

The U.S. won 104-87 against Germany by a full 17 points.

The strength of the German team is not weak, and there is Nowitzki, who is the first in the FIBA rating.

But it just won, and it was an easy win, extending the winning streak to 58 games.

So someone will think that the American team lost?

If Sun Hao was not a traverser, he also felt that it was impossible.

However, he is a traverser, so the mentality is definitely different.

The competition was on the second day, and after the training on this day, Sun Hao sat next to Yao Ming again and chatted with him about tomorrow's competition.

"What do you think, how about winning against Team USA?"

Sun Hao's words were astonishing.

Yao Ming couldn't help but swallow his saliva again.

Sun Hao's idea is very bold.

It's bolder than the previous one to reach the final.

"It's going to be a good feeling."

Yao Ming is also quite bold.

The ambitious duo has started again.

"You ...... Seriously? ”

This time, Wang Zhizhi was sitting next to him, and after hearing the content of the exchange between the two, he stared at him with big eyes and couldn't believe it.

Sun Hao and Yao Ming both nodded one after another.

"How to win?"

Wang Zhizhi is a realist.

"You may not believe it, even if I am not there, you can beat them by more than ten points in the first quarter."

Sun Hao did not answer directly, but made a hypothesis.

Of course, only he knows that this is not an assumption.

Because the Chinese and American men's basketball teams also played each other in the group stage of this World Championship, the Chinese team created the lowest score difference between the two teams by 19 points.

Then in the course of this game, the Chinese team led by 12 points in the first quarter, if it were not for the fitness problems in the second half and Yao Ming 6 fouls.

The Chinese team may have really won the American team.

Now there are more of him and Wang Zhizhi (Wang Zhizhi didn't come because of the no-return incident), plus Yao Ming also played in the NBA for a year.

Although the basketball game is not a simple stack of power, there are definitely opportunities.

Wang Zhizhi coughed for a while, and then couldn't help but smile.

He felt that Sun Hao was joking.

Yao Ming nodded very seriously.

He played in the NBA for a year, and there weren't many interior players he couldn't beat.

Several inside lines of this American team, O'Neal Jr. has won, Ben Wallace can also have the upper hand, that is, Brand, at most, he has exploded with him.

Not to mention other positions, he is very confident in the position of center forward.

Wang Zhizhi saw the reactions of the two again and was sure that they were serious.

Since you are all so confident, then I ...... I also have confidence.

Wang Zhizhi also started the scene after YY won the American team.

Okay, this time, the ambitious duo has directly become a threesome.

The next day, the Polis Arena was full.

Polis is a well-known sports city in the United States, and the basketball atmosphere is also very strong.

In fact, the Lakers were in Polis before they relocated to Los Angeles.

There's also a little bit of knowledge involved.

Why are the Lakers called Lakers.

Laker, when translated, must be laker, in fact, the reason why there is the latter plural is because of the various lakes in Polis.

Hence the name of the team, and the plurality.

In addition to the fans, there were also many basketball bigwigs.

Like NBA commissioner Stern and his assistant Adam Mosaic, Lakers owner Buss Sr.'s son Buss Jr., Mavericks owner Cuban, basketball god Michael Jordan.

There is also the former TNT commentator, Barkley, who just finished a season with Jordan, is also there.

The presence of these people is not surprising, Stern values the Chinese market, Cuban comes to see Sun Hao, and Jordan comes to see Yao Ming.

Bass Jr. and Barkley ...... Maybe just join in the fun.

However, the presence of these people can also see that this battle between the Chinese and American men's basketball teams has attracted a lot of attention.

When Sun Hao and Yao Ming saw that these people were present, they glanced at each other and read a message from each other's eyes.

Meddlesome.

If they really win the American team in front of these people, then they will definitely become famous.

When I think about that scene, it's a little exciting.

An ambitious duo, real hits.

Zhang Weiping and Su Qun were also on the scene, and they also interviewed Sun Hao before the game.

"The U.S. team was, is, and will be the strongest team in the future, the Dream Team is the strongest team, and the chances of them losing are very small."

In the interview, Sun Hao is also a big milk American team.

You can not believe in metaphysics, but you can't challenge it.

After Sun Hao's interview, the top of the American team was already gurgling collectively.

Moreover, what Sun Hao said, domestic fans felt that there was nothing wrong with it.

The Dream Team is not the strongest team, are the teams that lost to him?

At the end of the interview, the two sides quickly entered the opening ceremony.

The opening ceremony of the World Championships is that all the players are introduced, and after the introduction, they will go to the midfield to shake hands.

Basically, Sun Hao has played against each other, and the opponent's technical characteristics are probably well known.

That's one of the reasons why he dared to say he won against this American team.

Know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles.

After the opening ceremony, the last few minutes warmed up, and the starters on both sides appeared one after another.

On the U.S. side, Andre Miller and Finley on the outside, Pierce and Brand up front, and center Antonio Davis.

Reggie Miller will not be playing this game due to injury, and Andre Miller was the NBA's assist leader last season.

On the Chinese team's side, Sun Hao and Hu Weidong's outside line, Li Nan and Battle's striker, center Yao Ming.

Wang Fei used a double-tower lineup at the beginning.

The game started immediately, and it was at this time that Sun Hao noticed that there was a ...... on the bench of the American team Uh, Popovich?

He knew that the head coach of the U.S. men's basketball team was George Carr, but he didn't pay much attention to the assistant coach, and he didn't expect Popovich to be an assistant coach.

The feud between the Mavericks and the Spurs, this game is even more interesting!

"Toot!"

The referee on the sidelines blew the whistle, and the prelude to the Sino-US war officially began!

Davis jumped to beat Yao Ming to give the U.S. team the opportunity to attack first.

Although there is a lot difference in height, Davis has excellent jumping ability.

The first attack of the American team was to play Brand.

Brand is also the interior offensive axis of the U.S. team's on-court lineup.

Brand backs up on Battle, and soon he encounters O'Neal-esque embarrassment.

Because he hadn't played against Battle before, and the U.S. team didn't take the Chinese team seriously at all, Carl didn't study the opponent.

So the result of this back hit was that Brand couldn't move after a few hits, turned around and didn't turn Battle's broad shoulders, and was stuck there directly.

The rest of the Chinese team also followed closely with their defenders, and Brand didn't have a chance to pass the ball, and finally forced a hook with his arm span.

It's just that Battle's arm span is a little shorter, and the ball is not directly exposed.

But even if it wasn't offended, the ball was very short, knocked on the front of the basket, Yao Ming took off the defensive rebound, and threw it to Sun Hao as soon as possible.

Sun Hao went straight to the front court with a quick attack.

Sun Hao has shot so many three-pointers in the past two years that many people have forgotten how he played in Europe in the first place.

In fact, when the Mavericks played fast attack, Sun Hao was the fastest runner.

The silver-level fast-break terminator badge is just like that.

Xiao Kuailing, Sun Hao is not too suitable.

Miller and Sun Hao fought less, and they didn't have time to react.

Finley reacted quickly, but he was stuck by Li Nan's chicken thief.

When Sun Hao accelerated past the midfield, he had already thrown off the defenders.

He sped into the three-second zone and took to the air.

Layups?

Inexistent!

In the surprised eyes of the fans at the scene, Sun Hao jumped high and directly slammed his hands to end the attack!

If you can't say anything about ambition, do it!

There was a burst of cheers from the audience.

Although it is the home of the American team, there are also many Chinese fans now.

Moreover, many American fans at the scene have watched Sun Hao play.

Three-point shooter to dunk?

This is already very exciting!

What's more, this is just the beginning, and they don't think the U.S. team will be at a disadvantage.

However, sometimes there is a gap between reality and imagination.

Playing up front, Miller wanted to give Davis a cut-in.

Davis didn't understand it, and the two made a mistake in passing the ball directly.

Lack of tacit understanding, a common problem of the American team.

You must know that the training time of the US team has always been the shortest among all national teams.

Even at the peak, this kind of mistake due to lack of tacit understanding is common.

In the opening two rounds, the U.S. team did not score.

The Chinese team advanced to the front court to play positions.

Sun Hao held the ball, and Yao Ming pulled to the high position to block and dismantle.

This tactic has been played in the Asian Championships, but the difference is that Sun Hao's outside threat is stronger than at that time.

As a result, Sun Hao just took a step by blocking and dismantling, and the American team directly sandwiched him in a double bag.

In Carl's view, the only threat to the Chinese team is Sun Hao, and as for Yao Ming, although he won the best rookie, he is still very immature.

Sealing Sun Hao is equivalent to sealing the Chinese team.

However, he underestimated the tacit understanding between Sun Hao and Yao Ming.

A second before the American team chose to wrap the bag, Yao Ming had already decisively gone to the basket.

Sun Hao was also the first time to hang the ball.

The pass to the giant has always fallen from the sky.

Yao Ming took a big step after receiving the ball and had already hit the basket.

At this time, Yao Ming was underweight, but his speed was fast.

In the past year with the Wizards, the wonderful footage that could be seen was that he just defended a ball on the defensive end, and the next second he was already in the frontcourt.

That speed, not to mention faster than Jordan, faster than Hardaway.

At this time, Brand didn't have time to help defend, so he could only watch Yao Ming go to the basket, and then ......

"Bang!"

A heavy one-handed clasp.

There was finally a hint of restlessness at the scene.

The Chinese team scored two goals in a row at the beginning......
