Turkey's two-point defeat to the Chinese team made Turkish fans feel a little regretful.

However, the coach of Turkey was relieved, and after that, Turkey had already performed very well in Group C, winning three games in a row to qualify.

"Every member of the Turkish team has been fighting for me and I'm so proud."

The 63-year-old is a well-known basketball coach in Turkey, and his colon cancer is not news in Turkey, and he had surgery this spring. And this veteran coach has always been known in the international basketball world for his professional coaching level and professionalism.

Wang Ming expressed his respect for the old coach after the game, "He is a respectable fighter, his spirit has infected countless people, he is a legendary coach." ”

With the end of this group stage, the men's World Men's Basketball Championship has fully entered the knockout stage.

The Chinese team flew from Ankara to Istanbul.

At this time, Gale also came to Turkey with his two younger sisters.

Knowing that Wang will play in Turkey tomorrow, they can't sit down in Los Angeles, which is good, but after a long time, it is still not as attractive as the rest of the world.

Turkey is a world-famous tourist destination, so they are especially looking forward to this trip to Turkey.

At the beginning of September, the weather is still very hot, and Istanbul has a typical Mediterranean climate, with a hint of dryness in the heat.

Istanbul really fascinates visitors with its rich and colourful cultural heritage, with its museums, churches, mosques, palaces, markets, and wonderful natural scenery that will make people want to come back for more.

Cities adjacent to the Channel are naturally indispensable with a touch of blue, and the Bosphorus coast here has a more historical flavor, and in the afterglow of the sunset, orange and red, it is beautiful.

The king didn't have time to spend time with them tomorrow, so the three of them went about playing by themselves.

There are stone pillars with thousands of years of vicissitudes, gentle streets at dusk, and street performers dancing in brilliant music.

The city has not changed in any way with the arrival of the World Championships, and it is still like a monument left on the Aegean coast, glittering and mysterious.

On September 4, the first match of the knockout round began, Croatia PK Serbia.

The first match of the Chinese team's knockout match against France in Group C will be held on September 6.

This year's French team is not weak, but in the group stage, their form has been up and down, with 2 wins and 2 losses, first winning against Spain and Lebanon, and then losing to Lithuania and New Zealand.

The French team has a lot of NBA-level players, including Batum, who just traded to the Kings in the summer.

Batum has not yet reported on the new team, but he met his new head coach on the international stage, and immediately ran over to greet Wang tomorrow before the game started.

"Coach."

Batum scratched his head, a slight hint of shyness.

"Come on, Nicholas, play well and win glory for your country." Wang Ming patted Batum on the shoulder and encouraged.

"As soon as the World Championships are over, I will go back to training." Batum said with a smile.

"Don't worry, get some rest, I'll let Dwayne inform you when the time comes."

"Dwayne?"

Batum popped up three question marks and immediately reacted, "Oh, yes, yes, Coach Casey, I've been waiting for his call. ”

"Haha, there are actually a lot of things to learn in the international arena, you have to see more, understand more, some players have a unique way of playing, you can even learn from it." Wang Tomorrow said a few words casually.

Batum listened very seriously, nodding his head solemnly.

After the pleasantries, Batum returned to the French lineup.

The starters from both sides came on.

Ahead of the World Championships, France faced a number of difficulties in recruiting personnel: Tony Parker and Turiaf declined to play for their country, the Bulls refused to let Noah go, and Boibouis, who was seen as Parker's replacement, was sidelined by injury.

So the French team's backcourt starters are led by Nando De Colo and Petrus, both of whom are NBA players, of which the 23-year-old De Colo was selected by the Spurs in the second round of last year's draft, the 53rd overall in the second round, but the Spurs did not sign De Corlo, who immediately joined Valencia in the Spanish league.

Masimmi was the only serious centre-forward in France, so the manager opted for a three-striker approach in the starting line-up.

Batum, Dio and Tra Ao started together.

Traol, the tallest on the field, is only 2.05 meters tall, standing with Yao Ming, he suddenly lost most of his head, feeling that he was facing a majestic mountain.

"Oh my God, that's high."

Regarding the coach's arrangement, Tra Ol didn't want to talk anymore, he felt Yao Ming hook lightly, and before he could fly to the highest air, the people had already completed the shot.

There are a lot of Chinese fans, and when it comes to the knockout round, the support is even higher.

Today, there are still Gal Gadot, Lin Jiuzhen and others sitting on the sidelines, specially cheering for Wang Tomorrow.

Wang Mingming was dressed in a straight suit, standing on the sidelines to command, and after the referee pinched the time, the game officially began.

"Smack!"

Yao Ming jumped the ball and won.

The speed of the French team is fast, as soon as they saw that the jump ball did not win, everyone retreated like a tide, De Colo defended Sun Yue, and every time he tried to knife the ball.

Sun Yue turned around and distributed the ball to Xu Yong on the flank.

Xu Yong tried to attack, and Yao Ming immediately fell to the low post to ask for the ball.

France resolutely chose to defend around the front, Tra Ol stood on Xu Yong's passing route, and then Dio also stood in the three-second zone, anyway, there was no defense for three seconds in the international game, at this time, when I saw that the Chinese team was going to play inside, I quickly squeezed Yao Ming's space.

If the original Chinese team, at this time the defender may choose to take the risk of passing, Yao Ming after receiving the ball and attacking, either to consume a lot of physical strength to play, or to be swarmed by others and make mistakes.

Xu Yong chose to come by herself.

Facing Michael Petrus, who is known as the "French Jordan", he broke through.

The biggest difference between the knockout round and the group stage is that many teams meet in the knockout round have several NBA-level players, such as the French team, which can make up a whole team of NBA players.

Petrus is also a starter-level player in the NBA, and unlike the opponents he has met before, he has a faster lateral movement ability, one-on-one, and keeps up with Xu Yong's footsteps.

Xu Yong did not attack and transferred to Yi Jianlian, who responded at the free throw line.

Wang Ming Ming knew early tomorrow that the one-on-one single challenge technique in front of him was not easy to use in the knockout round, so he changed the formation a little and Yi Jianlian took the ball at the free throw line.

Yi Jianlian faced Boris Dior, a French magician.

Yes, the players of the French team have various nicknames, French Sports Car, French Jordan, French Magician, French Maddie, French Pippen.......

Yi Jianlian attacks with the ball!

In the Nets, Yi Jianlian also attacked with the ball, but it would not be as resolute as today.

"My mother's family has given me determination, and I am full of energy to serve the country!"

The French magician didn't expect Yi Jianlian to be so fierce at all, this dangling direct right hand breakthrough, good rhythm, big pace, fast speed, instantly clean Dior.

Tra Ol went around Yao Ming at this time, and he didn't expect that in the middle and high positions, Dior was like crossing the road and was given by an NBA low-level player!

Yi Jianlian stepped on the ground with both feet, and flew up three seconds away.

Glide through the air for a distance, stretch your belly and waist, raise your long arms high, and grab the frame with both hands!

"Bang!"

The commentators in Turkey exclaimed in unison, "Chinese Xiaosi! ”

One of the commentators said with a smile: "There was a draft website that said that Yi's best template was Dirk Nowitzki, who has a soft mid-to-long-range shot, but now, Yi is more like a physical dunk, look at his dunk, how domineering, how wonderful, I like this dunk." ”

Wang Tomorrow also applauded, and said loudly in Chinese on the sidelines,

"Retreat, pay attention to the opponent's offensive and defensive transition!"

The French team chooses a small lineup, the first priority must be to run and bomb, if the position falls, this lineup has no meaning, so as soon as the baseline ball is served, De Colo begins to advance rapidly.

ESPN commented that De Colo is a typical two-way guard, shooting accurately, making free throws, and shooting free throws accurately. Athletic ability is average. Lack of offensive opportunities and defensive ability.

But this athleticism is relative to the NBA, where spring people abound, and on the international stage, De Collo's speed stands out.

At least it's faster than Sun Yue.

Sun Yue finally caught up with De Corlo, who deftly buckled the ball, like a passing man in a football game, first controlling the ball in his hand.

Then change direction in two consecutive front of the body, and switch to the left hand to break to the left.

He has a balanced left and right hand, and his basic skills are very solid.

At this time, Yao Ming ran to the inside line, and when he turned around, he saw De Colo hitting the basket, and immediately caught up, ready to bring him a big hot pot.

De Colo was unhurried, hitting the ground to the middle for a point, Dio received the ball, did not shoot, flew to pick up the basket, and scored a layup on the right side of the basket.

"Nice passing and cutting fit!"

The Turkish commentator praised that European players play like this, focusing more on the whole.

They play like playing football, first patiently transmitting and looking for opportunities, and the last attack is often always a one-shot kill, with a lot of passing and cutting cooperation, and the integrity is relatively strong.

"It's too slow to retreat." Accustomed to seeing the King's retreat, Wang Tomorrow felt that the Chinese team's retreat was too slow, and many players started to retreat after scoring goals, so why not wait until his teammates made a move?

If it is said that the offensive of the position still relies on the innate conditions such as speed and strength, the retreat of such a thing depends on consciousness.

Similarly, the same is true for fast attack, unless it is a dragon, the person who is really good at fast attack must be someone with particularly outstanding offensive awareness.

"It's still slow." Guo Shiqiang wiped the sweat on his head, the head coach is really demanding.

Sun Yue dribbled over half the court and passed the ball directly to Yi Jianlian at the top of the arc, Yi Jianlian held the ball and passed the ball to Xu Yong hand to cover, at the top of the arc.

At this time, Yao Ming on the weak side made an off-ball cover for Wang Shipeng.

Xu Yong walked to the left with the ball, Wang Shipeng came out and also made a cover for Xu Yong, Xu Yong moved to the left 45 degrees, Wang Shipeng's last block blocked people, and several players of the French team couldn't find which one they wanted to defend.

Wang Shipeng directly received Xu Yong's pass in the vacant position, and made a three-point shot at the top of the arc at the left point.

Hit!

"Huh? It's well executed. ”

Wang just sprayed them tomorrow to defend, but I didn't expect the Chinese team to immediately play a wave of high-quality tactical cooperation, the cover between the two small players is the most important, and the front cover can delay the defender a little.

France is advancing rapidly, and this time the Chinese team is perfectly defending.

Batum held the ball in the front court, and Wang watched the game on the sidelines tomorrow, which made him want to perform well in front of the new manager, so after holding the ball, he ignored Dio's request for the ball.

Directly dribble under the light crotch and change to the right to break through.

Xu Yong stared at Petrus, Wang Shipeng defended Batum, and was shaken by Batum like this, and he lost his position, Batum crossed steps to form, and suddenly took a step forward in the confrontation.

Stop, mid-range jumper!

The hand shape is perfect, and the basketball arc is very low.

It is precisely because Batum shoots a bit like Maddie that many media call Batum the French Maddy, but in the past two years, Batum has developed a good defensive ability in the Trail Blazers, coupled with his selfless style of play in the NBA, and won the title of French Pippen.

"Huh!"

The basketball smashes back into the net.

Low flat balls like this are rarely able to be thrown hollow, and are usually smashed on the back edge, but after the fans look the same, the crisp sound is passed, and the white net flowers fly.

Wang nodded tomorrow, Batum has good ability, and in the new season, the Kings' starting small forward, with his strength, is enough to compete.

Both teams have their own offensive means and play offensive basketball.

Halfway through the first quarter, the two sides had scored 30 points together, and the offensive efficiency was very high.

After changing the bench, the offensive efficiency of the two sides declined, and the fast attack of the French team was not so sharp, and the Chinese team blocked several waves of attacks, Batum and Coffey both caused fouls by Chinese players, but both of them made free throws at the end of the first quarter.

China led France by three points 25-22.

Sun Zhengping said that as long as the Chinese team scores more points than the French team, it will definitely win, which reflects the current state of the two teams.

But running and bombing this kind of thing requires strong outside support, and the French team can't open three-point shots, so it is difficult to take the initiative on the court.

Wang tomorrow instructed the players to stare at the French outside line, none of the shooters can be pulled down, and if they lose their rebounds, they will lose their rebounds, which is better than others who shoot three points in the open position.

France's outside felt cold, and its offensive efficiency declined in the second quarter, and the Chinese team took the opportunity to play a wave of 8-0 small high-tide.

The French team fell behind by ten points at halftime, and once started 8-0 in the third quarter, relying on the three-pointers of Dio and Batum, and forcibly replaced the Chinese team with a wave of small high-tide.

The two teams then continued to score and rise, and at the end of the third quarter, Xu Yong first hit an outside three-point shot, and then broke through the inside line to make it 2+1, and broke out to break the deadlock. Petrus scored a rebound in this quarter in response to Xu Yong's outburst.

6 minutes and 52 seconds before the end of the game, the Chinese team led France by 7 points 78-71.
