A total of 16 teams participated in this World Championship, and the group stage was divided into four groups, with the top two teams in each group qualifying.

The Chinese men's basketball team's lineup this time can be called the most luxurious in team history, and half of them are members of the Bayi team who have just won the Club World Cup.

However, the grouping is still not good for the Chinese team, and the Chinese men's basketball team was not surprisingly divided into the group of death, and the opponents in the same group are the United States, Spain, and Ivory Coast.

Of the three opponents, only Ivory Coast is participating in the World Championships for the first time, and the team strength is limited, and the other two are considered the favorites to win the title.

Wu Jie was not surprised by this, especially when he was in a group with the American team, and the original plane had almost become a tradition for the Chinese team.

He also felt very strange about this, because the original Chinese team would be in the same group with the United States team almost every time at the World Championships and the Olympics.

But in Wu Jie's view, the Chinese team this time is not afraid of these two opponents at all.

The Spaniards are strong in positional battles, and the interior players are all traditional European players who are tall and powerful, and have solid skills under the basket.

But their outside offensive ability is insufficient, the inside line moves slowly, and their physical fitness is not very good, and they are actually afraid of the unique small and fast style of the Chinese team in this era.

The U.S. team is still made up of collegiate star teams and still prioritizes white players, which makes it difficult to improve the overall strength.

In fact, there are many future Hall of Fame superstars in the NCAA at this time, Jordan, Olajuwon, Barkley, Stockton and others who are still not famous in their freshman year are not counted, but Drexler, Ralph Sampson and others are also future Hall of Fame players.

If the U.S. team selects all these black college stars into the national team, the strength of the entire team will inevitably increase significantly.

But unfortunately, the last players to join the US team were players like Stepanovic, Doug Rivers, and Byron Scott.

So in the first round of the group stage, Spain defeated the United States team 109-99.

The Chinese team also defeated the Ivory Coast men's basketball team 114-85.

Ruda's performance in this game shocked the world again, but not because he performed a death dunk or cut a surprising high score, but delivered a staggering 24 assists in a single game.

In this battle, the Chinese team faced the Ivorian players with no speed and height, and used their excellent confrontation, technology, physical fitness, discipline and cooperation to defeat the opponent.

It sounds a little incredible, but Chinese players actually have a confrontation and physical advantage?

This is really there, Wu Jie spent two years training the physical fitness of the national football team to the world-class, and Luda was not idle here, and also used advanced training methods to train the physical fitness and lower limb strength of the men's basketball players.

This is not difficult to understand, the Chinese team in the original plane is not bad in terms of training intensity, and even the training amount is a little excessive, but the training method is not scientific enough, and the nutrition cannot keep up, the most important thing is that the direction is wrong, and the effect is naturally not good.

But in the past two years, the food for the three major balls has already been raised with the money made by Wu Jie and others, and there is even money left to buy a batch of training equipment.

At this time, with everyone's desperate attitude and correct training methods, it can really improve a lot in two years.

Wu Jie secretly improved the talent of this group of men's basketball players three months ago, and now the ability of this group of men's basketball players is much stronger than the original plane (the list of the Chinese team is in the author's statement).

If you look at the data alone, most of these Chinese players, except for Ruda, are the level of later NBA substitute players.

But you must know that the level of NBA stars in the eighties and nineties is not much different from that of the 21st century, but the overall level of middle and low-level players is not much different from that after the 21st century.

Therefore, the ability value in the early 70s in this era is enough to play the first half of the NBA's middle and lower teams, and the level of Huang Yunlong and Li Yaguang is at least a role player with enough playing time even if they go to the NBA strong team.

The current Chinese team plus Ruda, even if it is put in the NBA to play the playoffs, there is no big problem.

At the moment, against the American college star team, their strength on paper will only be stronger, not worse.

Americans are also very jealous of the Chinese team, because the situation of the Chinese men's basketball team and the Chinese men's football team is similar, obviously the strength exceeds the third gear, but because there are too few international competitions and the results in the first two years are not good, this will still be only 19th in the world ranking.

As a result, their Group C has also become the recognized group of death, and there are now many who are waiting to see the Americans and Spaniards follow the hapless England and France, expecting one of them to be eliminated.

Originally, everyone thought that this unlucky guy would probably be Spain, but they didn't expect them to win the United States in the first battle.

Then the match between China and the United States in the second war is very important, and the Americans will directly GG if they overturn again!

On September 14th, the focus battle of the Chinese team VS the American team is about to start.

"The inside of this American team is a lot worse than expected, but the outside line is not bad, we play more inside today, give the ball to Ruda more, open the outside line to respond, and use the 'chase grading' tactic to break them down at every opportunity!"

Qian Chenghai is making the final deployment on the sidelines, yesterday they have studied the video of the game between Spain and the United States, and came to the conclusion that the internal strength of the American team is much worse than imagined, and Ruda can completely break the opponent by himself, and then all the tactics will be revitalized.

"The coach was right, the focus today is on the inside."

Rueda knows better that the three white players of the U.S. team simply don't have enough confrontation ability on the inside, but the outside players are of a good standard.

But as long as the opponent's inside line is destroyed, the outside line of the American team will not be able to make too big waves, because the outside line of the Chinese team is not bad!

However, unlike Wu Jie, who completely emptied the head coach in the national football team, Qian Chenghai has a very high status in the men's basketball team.

Today's "full-court pressing" and "chasing grading" (the civilized name of the butt chasing tactics and the prototype of the shelling tactics) prepared by the Chinese team today were all invented by Qian Chenghai.

In addition, there are three exclusive skills in the attributes of this world famous coach, namely: [Father of Turning and Jumping], [Father of Butt Chasing], and [Father of Full Court Pressing].

Wu Jie was also taken aback when he saw the special ability of this coach, and he was even more surprised when he looked at the detailed introduction.

[Father of Turnaround Jumper]: Exclusive ability, which can be taught, increases the learning speed of coached players by 50%, up to five-star, and improves the shooting rate of coached players' turnaround jumpers.

[Father of Ass Chasing]: Exclusive ability, increase the fast-break shooting rate of coaching players, improve the stability of fast-break shooting for all players, reduce fast-break physical consumption, complete the attack and score goals within 10 seconds, and improve the morale of the whole team.

[Father of Full-Court Pressing]: Exclusive ability, when coaching a team to use full-court pressing, it increases the chance of breaking the ball, reduces the chance of fouls, reduces physical exertion, and additionally reduces the opponent's physical fitness.

Wu Jie couldn't believe that he was so hung after seeing Qian Chenghai's attributes, this is a legendary coach at the level of Auerbach, Pat Riley, and Popovich.

But the Chinese men's basketball team once had such a legendary coach, but he still failed to reach the quarterfinals of the World Championships and the Olympic Games, which can only be said that the strength of these players is not very good, or there are shortcomings that are difficult to make up.

This shortcoming is physical confrontation and physical fitness, basketball is a fierce competitive sport after all, the body is not good, the physical fitness is too poor, and in the end, no matter how good the technique is, no matter how tacit the cooperation is, it is still difficult to play.

Now he has greatly improved his shortcomings in this area, and the level of the whole team has immediately improved by more than one grade, which is also the confidence of the Chinese team to dare to covet the championship.

At 8 p.m. local time in Colombia and 9 a.m. Beijing time, the Sino-US basketball confrontation, which will be broadcast live in China, is about to begin.

Song Shixiong is already broadcasting the starting lineups of both teams, and the substitutes of both teams on the field have left, and the game is about to start.

China's starting lineup;

Center: Rueda (93): 2.06m, 18 years old.

Power forward: Huang Yunlong (80): 2.00m, 22 years old.

Small forward: Daniel Zhang (75): 1.93m, 21 years old.

Shooting guard: Li Yaguang (79): 1.90m, 24 years old.

Point guard: Sun Fengwu (73): 1.83m, 20 years old.

It's a very young lineup, even younger than the average age of Collegiate.

USA starting lineup:

Center: Steve Stepanovic (78): 2.10m, 22 years old.

Power forward: Tim McCormick (75): 2.08m, 20 years old.

Small forward: Randy Whitman (75): 1.98m, 23 years old.

Shooting guard: Byron Scott (78): 1.91m, 21 years old.

Point guard: Doug Rivers (77): 1.93m, 21 years old.

The lineups of the two teams are not much different on the outside, but they are really far behind on the inside.

Ruda's ability value is placed in this World Championships, and no one is at the same level as him, and the Soviet Union has not yet debuted.

In addition, even Huang Yunlong's level is much better than McCormick, which should be an unexpected situation for the American team.

In the opening jump ball, Ruda made next year's leader, white center Stipanovic have the idea of powerlessness.

Ruda's jump was too high and fast, and the bouncing ability of the two was completely different from the same level.

But this was only the beginning of the crushing, and the Chinese team immediately advanced quickly after receiving the ball, chasing the ass of the American team and launching a fast attack.

It was the first time that the U.S. team and the Chinese team had played against each other in the real sense, although they had long heard that the Chinese team's fast attack was very sharp, but they didn't expect it to be so fast.

Sun is a little less good than Rivers, but he is characterized by being short and fast, and he may suffer in height when defending, but with his calf-like size and excellent ball handling, a college star like Rivers can't pose a real threat to him.

Ruda easily received a pass on the way in, and at this time, facing Stepanovic, who was tall and thin and soft in his eyes, he simply didn't use any skills, held the basketball high and launched a flat push under the basket, and actually knocked McCormick, who was assisting in the defense, into the air, and gave a profiteering two-handed heavy dunk at the beginning!

The coach of the U.S. team looked at it very painfully, and the two of them were easily knocked by Ruda like a reserved bottle, how can this kind of profiteering inside line make the college players defend?

The American audience in front of the TV also had the same idea, Ruda is stronger than these two in terms of size, and the muscles alone are like steel bodies, on the other hand, their two inner lines don't even have fat, just like two white clothes poles, isn't that a bump?

"Hell, this guy should let Mahon and Malone defend it!"

"We can't send the Estudiantes to play anymore, we haven't even won a World Championship since 1954, but we've won a lot of fourth and fifth."

"If we continue like this, we may not even be able to get the fourth or fifth!"

"Damn it, I think they're just embarrassing us!"

American fans can see from the first attack that their interior line is about to be blown up again today.
