Zhu Fangyu never thought that he would play power forward one day...... Although he weighs 100 kilograms, which is heavier than some thin centers in China, he didn't expect that one day, Wang Zhizhi would say to him: "Bajie, you can play the starting power forward today." ”

Zhu Fangyu looked at the other party's 95-kilogram big striker Takeuchi brothers, who weighed two meters and five, what else could he do, so he could only respond: "Got it, Bailongma." ”

So, Zhu Fangyu was going to be with Wang Shipeng with his senior brother who was one year older than him...... No, it's the strongest boss in the world who plays the outside line together, and now he partners with the boss on the inside line.

Wang Zhizhi's position today is G, Yao Ming is also G, Zhu Fangyu and Wang Shipeng are F, and Liu Mang is C.

Liu Mang plays the center position!

After the Chinese team announced the starting list at noon, it caused a sensation, and the Chinese fans were all high, and the psychological superiority exploded!

Just play!

As for basketball fans in Japan......

The Japanese have a peculiarity that they will find reasons for an opponent who will never win, and then support it......

For example, they feel that Liu Mang is not an earthling, but an alien sent to dominate the basketball world on Earth......

There are even Japanese otaku and otaku who speculate that Liu Mang is a super earthling, a humanoid high-tech developed by China......

The Chinese team's approach this time is too arrogant!

Even the U.S. team, which is preparing for the second game of the day and is going to play against strong rival Greece, can't help but pay attention to this game while preparing for the game.

None of them have played against the Japanese team, although they know that the Japanese team is weak, but the Chinese team is so provocative!

James and the others were curious to find a TV set to watch the game when they were preparing for the game.

Yes, everyone thinks that Liu Mang's approach this time is provocative, because the starting five are the same as the starting lineup originally analyzed by the media, but the position has changed.

Chinese fans like this kind of provocation, the target is the Japanese team, and no matter how humiliated they are, they will not feel that it is against morality.

What else can Japanese basketball fans do, the other party has an existence that I don't know if it's a Super Saiyan or a Super Earthling, and the group of people in their national team just can't beat it! You can only see it.

And...... Among the Japanese basketball fans, most of them are fans of Liu Mang and Yao Ming......

Compared with the two domestic black fans who occupy half of the fans, in the eyes of most fans who like the NBA in other Asian countries and the world, Liu Mang and Yao Ming are already great.

China is on this side, and there are five masters and apprentices...... No, it was the starting five and the bench teammates who were very happy, from submitting the list in the morning, on the way to Saitama Super Arena after lunch, I saw that there were Chinese fans who temporarily found a large cardboard with "Super Center Liu Mang" or "Super Point Guard Yao Ming" written in Chinese.

Hi up......

However, there are also people in the national team who are miserable, and as the leader of the national team, Director Zhang is miserable and explains to the leaders of the Blue Association and the national high-level responsible for this World Championships.

The "ombudsman" of the national team, who has refused all interviews since the morning, this

However, Director Zhang is also very high!

Because of the relationship between a certain No. 24 player who did not want to be named, the painting style of the Chinese team has changed ......

……

At half past two in the afternoon, after the Chinese team finished their warm-up, they came to the court of the Saitama Super Arena.

The bowl-like stadium has more than 47,000 seats.

Liu Mang looked around, relatively speaking, there are more fans in Japan, Japan's sports atmosphere is very strong, and it will not have much to do with the results of the national team, their football, baseball, and tennis games have a very high attendance rate, and basketball is even more backward, but as the host country to hold the World Series, there are still a lot of Japanese fans who pre-purchase tickets for the Japanese team at the main venue in Saitama Prefecture, and the number of pre-purchased tickets by telephone and online is a stadium and a country accounting for 30% of the tickets. The remaining 40 percent of the tickets are sold through ticket outlets.

Except for Japanese fans, the others are basically Chinese fans......

When the Chinese players entered, the audience was cheering!

Japanese fans chanting "Ace", while Chinese fans ......

Liu Mang was furious after entering: You are a hooligan, your whole family is a hooligan!

Liu Mang is so angry, look at the fans of Little Japan, many of them are wearing T-shirts with Japanese flags, and this group of compatriots, for fear that others will not know that they are hooligans, there are many people wearing T-shirts of the "Rogue League".

Closer, Liu Mang can obviously see that it is a copycat!

The point is that if you have money to travel to contribute income to Japan, you can't buy an authentic T-shirt!

……

In the preparation time before the game, the players of the two teams were preparing separately, and the Chinese team was very relaxed to discuss how to play; On the Japanese team's side, the crowd is excited!

Even the fans in their own country don't think they have a chance to win, this is their home stadium! All of them are shouting Liu Mang's name!

Tian Woyong looked at Liu Mang with angry eyes.

Due to the success of Liu Mang and Yao Ming, some NBA teams have also set their sights on Japan, a large Asian market, and Yuta Tian was the most concerned among them, invited by the Suns to participate in training camp, and played a few preseason games before being cut.

In 2004, when he was signed by the Suns, he boasted that Japanese basketball would surpass Chinese basketball in three years, and now two years have passed......

Thinking that the other party actually started to provoke when he submitted the starting list, Tian Woyong was very angry!

There was no communication between the two teams...... I can't communicate, and I don't understand the language......

Moreover, most of the people on both teams don't speak English very well, and they can't communicate much.

By three o'clock in the afternoon, the game was finally going to begin.

The Chinese team sent Yao Ming (226), Wang Zhizhi (213), Zhu Fangyu (201), Wang Shipeng (196), Liu Mang (193).

The Japanese team fielded: Yuta Tawo (175), Takuya Kawamura (192), Takeuchi Ryōji (205), Kosuke Takeuchi (205), Satoru Furuta (199).

The live TV broadcast has also begun for more than ten minutes, including the United States, Spain, Argentina and other basketball powerhouses The members of the national team are also paying attention to this side, most of the Japanese team they don't know, and they want to see how strong the Japanese team is, so that the Chinese team will provoke them.

Seeing the comparison of the heights of the players of the two teams, the difference is too big!

Then it was time to jump the ball......

They found that the Chinese team was not provocative, they were playing for real......

Liu Mang came to the side of the center circle and stood in the middle circle with the opponent's center forward Gu Tian Wu, ready to jump the ball!

The referee of FIBA is a little dumbfounded, and it is really Liu Mang playing center!

It's all jumping balls, isn't it playing center?

This is too bad for the organizers, right?
