French fans are not happy, if it is a complete lineup of the French team, the final winner should be the French team.

However, the French team was not the strongest team, and many players in the squad did not attend the game, and finally were suppressed by the mysterious forces from the east on the playing field in Istanbul.

That's right, a hegemon is a hegemon.

The Chinese team finally defeated the French team 85-81 and reached the quarterfinals.

The French team ended their journey in this World Championship in dismal terms, the World Cup football was not played well, and now basketball is also accompanied by it, and the Gallic rooster is wilting.

As soon as the game ended, the French athletes came over very gentlemanly to shake hands with the Chinese players and say goodbye, especially a few who played in the NBA, and found Wang tomorrow to say hello.

Just kidding, Wang Mingming is the real power figure of the NBA Kings, a real member of the uniform team, and the president of the team's player operations.

Wang Tomorrow is in a good mood, the team won the game without danger, and reached the quarterfinals of the World Championships, basically completing the set goal.

And France is not weak, this opponent is enough for the media to blow for two days.

Sure enough, the media rushed to the news that day.

"Men's Basketball World Championship defeated France and entered the world quarterfinals to create brilliance"

The quarter-finals will be held as early as September 8, which will take place over three days.

The training venue arranged by the organizing committee is the local university gymnasium in Istanbul, and the World Championships are still in progress, so everyone has no way to play and relax, so they can only train on time and time every day.

Only in the evening can you relax a little.

After this day's training, in the evening, Wang Ming took the team members to a local Internet café in Istanbul, where a group of tall men with five big and three thick bags chartered more than a dozen machines to fight Warcraft online.

This proposal was still thought up by Yao Ming, Yao Ming is a hot fan of "World of Warcraft", but he also plays stand-alone Warcraft, and Wang won't have time to play online games tomorrow, so he will accompany them to play a few stand-alone Warcraft.

Someone photographed the scene of everyone playing, thinking that Wang Ming was a bit out of business.

But there are also people who think that Wang Tomorrow is approachable, mingles with the players, and does not have the frame of a head coach.

Three days later, all the eighths of the knockout rounds were over.

The Chinese team will play a quarter-final match with the Slovenian team.

In addition to China and Slovenia, Spain, Serbia, Turkey, the United States, Russia and Argentina also qualified.

Among them, Lithuania's elimination is a bit of a surprise.

Lithuania lost to Turkey in the quarter-finals, and Turkey relied on the excellent performances of Turkoglu, Ilyasova and Asik to win the victory in the cheers of the home fans.

Wang has been studying the Slovenian team for three days tomorrow.

The dominant player in the Slovenian team is Dragic.

The 24-year-old Dragic, who was drafted by the San Antonio Spurs in the '08 draft, was subsequently traded to the Phoenix Suns.

In the two years with the Suns, Dragic has made rapid progress, got Steve Nash's true pass, and made a short-distance pass with one hand, and in this year's playoffs, Dragic once scored 23 points in a single quarter, shooting 5 of 6 three-pointers, leading the team to reverse the Lakers and shake the league.

Dragic's speed, ability to tear up the defense, and projection skills will be a huge challenge for the Chinese team.

On the night of the 9th, in addition to the Chinese team against the Slovenian team, there was also the American team against Russia.

The game between the United States and Russia is played first.

U.S. Durant put in a game-high 33 points, leading a poor start to the U.S. team to bounce back in the second quarter, relying on a third-quarter attack wave to build a double-digit lead that eventually defeated Russia 89-79 to reach the Final Four.

After the match between the U.S. and Russia, the U.S. players returned to the field to watch the next game of the Chinese team.

There was a commotion in the stands.

Although the players of the Dream Nine team are relatively immature, Durant, Rose and others are all NBA balloon stars, and the people who come here to watch the game are basketball fans and are very familiar with these stars, and they can't help but take pictures of them.

Durant, Billups and others sat on the stage and chatted, and Coach K personally led the team to watch the game.

The Chinese media felt that this was also a signal that the U.S. team valued the Chinese team, because the Chinese team is now the hegemon of Asia, and it seems that the winning rate of this game is higher.

Durant said with a smile: "When Coach Wang Mingming was in the NBA, he always emphasized speed and conversion, but when it came to the international arena, he chose retro tactics, and the Chinese team always played steadily and steadily, focusing on positional offense." ”

Billups shook his head: "That's because of the players, a good coach is like that, he will choose what tactics according to the characteristics of the players. ”

"How are the Slovenian teams, I don't know much about them."

"The Slovenian team can, it's quite strong, it's a strong team in Europe, although the Chinese team has a higher chance of winning this game, but it's not strong enough to win, let's start on June Fourth."

Several Dream Team players are discussing the winning percentages of both teams.

Among them, there are several players in the dream team, who are very familiar with Wang Mingming, such as Durant, Chandler, Iguodala, and newcomers like Stephen Curry and Eric Gordon, who can only sit next to the big brothers, listen to the big brothers talk about Wang Mingming's head coach, and can't interject.

Soon after, the two sides warmed up, and in the loud national anthem, the two starters stayed on the field.

The Chinese team made a slight adjustment to the start today, and the 19-year-old will be put into the starting line by Wang Mingming by Shulong, in addition, with Wang Shipeng, Xu Yong, Yi Jianlian and Yao Ming.

The Slovenian team started with Dragic, Nakba, Zupan, Rakovic and Brezek.

Slovenia is a typical European strong team, with big white men and Dragic being a more unusual and flexible player.

Nakba 2.06m, Zupan 2.05m, Rakovic 2.08m, Brezek 2.16m.

In addition to Zupan, Dragic, Nakba, Rakovic and Brezek have all been drafted by the NBA, among them, Dragic, Nakba and Blazek all have NBA experience.

Nakba was selected by the Rockets with the 15th pick in the first round in '02, and spent his youth with the Rockets as Yao Ming's rookie that year.

When Wang Mingming first entered the NBA, he was an assistant coach with the Nets, and at that time, Nakba often communicated with Wang Mingming as a substitute player, and the two also had a period of experience working together.

But the most inspirational of Slovenia's starting five is Miha Zupan, a player who has never been drafted by the NBA.

Miha Zupan is very recognisable in the Slovenian line-up, as he is the only one in the team who wears a headband during the game. Few people know that Zupanza's headband is not all about sweating, but more importantly, he also has a hearing aid in his headband so that he can hear the cries of his coach and teammates on the field. He is a deaf player, and although he was born with the misfortune of not hearing anything, he has always fought with able-bodied players in the highest level of the European league.

At 2.05 meters tall and weighing 113 kilograms, Zupan's role in the Slovenian national team is more of a "meat shield" on the inside, responsible for fighting against the opponent's strong interior line, focusing on defense and rebounding.

Miha is the inside, Rakovic is also the inside, and Brezek is a super big center, afraid of Yao Ming's deterrence, Slovenia has a group of insiders.

Unlike the U.S. team, which is short of interior lines, the Slovenian team is simply a high-quality interior team.

Coach K predicted that the two teams would be a defensive battle, and sure enough, at the beginning of the game, the two teams each played three irons first, until the 8:02 second, Yao Ming turned around and hit a small hook to break the deadlock on the court, and the two teams scored for the first time.

Dragic holds the ball high.

Non-sticking to the ball, handed the ball to Nakba, who played with both hands in the air.

In the face of Xu Yong's defense, he suddenly turned around, and then with the help of Zu Pan's high-quality blocking, he got the opportunity to shoot directly with a single block, and hit steadily from the middle distance.

In the next round, Nakba faced Xu Yong and hit a three-point jumper on the three-point line.

Wang immediately called a timeout.

Xu Yong's defense is actually good, but he has a natural disadvantage in the face of Nakba, who is 2.06 meters tall and has an excellent arm span, and in the NBA, his career three-point shooting rate is as high as 37.5 percent, which is also because he is not good at confrontation, he is an excellent shooter himself.

Xu Yong is now 2.03 meters tall, and Nakba is more experienced than him, and he hit the shot with a little gap.

Let the other party score five points in a row, Xu Yong also knew that he had made a mistake, and he lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Wang Mingming's eyes.

Wang Mingming didn't blame Xu Yong too much, the other party is also an NBA-level player, and more experienced, although Xu Yong is amazingly talented and has been fully trained in the NBA in the past year, but there is still a long way to go.

"Sun pit man."

Wang Mingming thought to himself that the sun probably trained Xu Yong as a scorer.

After the pause, Xu Yong took the initiative to ask for the ball outside.

Facing Nakba one-on-one, he broke through.

Nakba stretched out his hand and did not stop Xu Yong, and Slovenia's inside line was squeezed into a heap.

Xu Yong distributed the ball outside, Wang Shipeng had a three-point opportunity in the bottom corner, received the ball and shot directly with three points, and hit!

The space in the international arena is smaller, and as soon as there are many inside lines, they will block it tightly, and there is a reason why the American team lost before 08, because they have not yet understood the meaning of defensive counterattack.

But now it's different, starting in '08, the U.S. team has been firmly engaged in run-and-gun tactics, using offense to drive defense, and defense to drive offense.

It may sound contradictory, but it's the best way to find their individual skills and tactics.

Therefore, although the Dream Nine team looks immature, it wins every game, and always suddenly breaks out in a certain quarter to score a wave of points and take away the game.

Five days before the World Championships, the Dream Nine team ranked second, while Spain, the champion of the previous World Championships, ranked first.

In addition, Greece is third, Argentina is fourth, China is fifth, Serbia is sixth, and Lithuania and Brazil are seventh and eighth, respectively.

As for the hosts, Turkey, they are only in 12th place.

The Slovenian team finished eleventh.

At the end of the first quarter, the Chinese team led 17-14.

Brezek's inside dunk opened the curtain on Slovenia's bombardment in the second quarter, and then Slovenia's bench scored five points in a row to overtake the score, forcing Wang to ask for a timeout tomorrow.

Wang will replace Yi Jianlian tomorrow to support the decline of the scene.

Yi Jianlian is not expected, this young man who is not playing well in the NBA, but he is extremely fierce in the international arena, not only covering Slovenia's interior offense at the defensive end, but also shooting from a distance on the three-point line, can be inside and outside, can attack and defend, and his performance is very comprehensive.

Yi Jianlian scored 11 points in the second quarter to help the Chinese team lead 35-34 into the second half.

Dragic was mediocre and showed little in the first half, while the rest of the Slovenian squad was eye-catching, especially Yao Ming's former team-mate Nakba.

Shortly after entering the start of the second half, Yao Ming hit a mid-range turnover jumper.

Then Xu Yong also scored three points from the outside, the Chinese team opened the third quarter of the game 5-0, Dragic hit a 3-pointer, Slokar scored two layups, and the Slovenian team chased the score to 41-44.

In the final quarter of the game, the Chinese team always pressed Slovenia in rhythm, and in the defensive battle, the Chinese team scored more steadily, and the lead reached 10 points at the largest time.

Slovenia missed back-to-back three-pointers and eventually lost the game 72-77.

In this game, Yao Ming scored a game-high 19 points and 11 rebounds, Xu Yong scored 16 points, and on the Slovenian side, Nakba scored 17 points, and Dragic only scored 4 points on 1-of-7 shooting, and the performance was sluggish.

The Chinese team defeated the Slovenian team and entered the top 4 strongly, creating the best result of the Chinese national men's basketball team in the World Championships.

"Congratulations to the Chinese team for achieving a new record." The Turkish commentator praised: "Since the Chinese national team hired Wang Mingming as the head coach, their results in the international arena have been very good, if you say, in 08, many people questioned that the Chinese team was the advantage of the host, but now, this doubt is self-defeating." ”

There is also a reason why Turkey explained this to the Chinese team, in this World Championships, Turkey, ranked 12th in the world, is also a strong opponent, and now even Lithuania has lost to Turkey.

Then the next day, Turkey continued to upset in the quarterfinals, beating South American powerhouse Argentina to reach the semi-finals.

In the other quarter-finals, Serbia's Teodosic hit a game-winning 3-pointer with 3.1 seconds left before Gabajosa made a late mistake to give Serbia, a six-man double-double, 92-89 victory over defending champions Spain.

Serbian Kostic had 13 points and nine rebounds, while Belica scored 14 points on 5-of-5 shooting.

Spain is not like France, the Spanish men's basketball team has a full lineup, Rubio, Navarro, Fernandez, Gasol and others all play.

Losing to the United States is okay, losing to Serbia disappointed Spanish fans, compared to the soaring, undefeated Chinese team, the performance is really unsatisfactory, and it is not in line with the title of world No. 1 before the game.
