Chapter 217: Doing What We Say
The arrival of Wang Weiyu has brought the most significant change to the Chinese men's basketball team, which is that the guards are more free on the court. Although the defenders of the Chinese team are no longer as afraid www.biquge.info of pressing as they used to be, the lack of offensive points to hold the ball in the forward line leads to constipation once the ball leaves the defender's hand.
From this point of view, Wang Weiyu has a great advantage. Basketball fans all over the world know how good he is with the ball. Once the defender puts the ball in his hands, he can attack when he advances, and he can mobilize others to run for half-court organization.
"I think we are witnessing the strongest Chinese team in history, Jing Qi as the inside barrier, Wang Weiyu as the outside coordinator, a group of outstanding domestic role players, I look forward to the World Cup to make history, there is no reason why we should not make results at home!"
"Wang Weiyu's influence on the outside is too great, even if he doesn't control the ball, the contribution on the defensive end is so obvious, and the Chinese team with him and without him are two teams."
"I don't know how to describe the current mood, watching the game for so long, I have experienced the golden generation, experienced Yao Ming, experienced the Manila tragedy, experienced the rebirth after that, and now, God has given us again, Wang Weiyu is a gift from God, I believe that this year will be able to achieve a historic breakthrough at home!"
The fans are full of confidence in this national team and are sure that they can get good results on their home turf.
Wang Weiyu and Jing Qi, who have high hopes, are trying to change the role of the emperor team to the role of the national team. Wang Weiyu is okay, he adapted quickly, although the loss of control made his organizational ability unable to show, but let his off-ball ability and individual ability to pull away heads-up be fully displayed.
Downey let people see another Wang Weiyu, a Wang Weiyu who is both offensive and defensive. For a long time, Wang Weiyu's offense and defense were overshadowed by his organizational talents. As long as he is mentioned, one still thinks of "an outstanding tactical initiator, one of the best playmaking strikers in the world".
"Did your ankle react today?" Qin Wei carefully examined Wang Weiyu's ankle.
Wang Weiyu smiled, "It's normal all day, it's not awkward anymore." "It looks really good." Qin Wei said with a smile.
And that's a great thing. In the warm-up game this time, because his ankle was not fully recovered, Wang Weiyu has been playing with it. He was ready to be scolded before, but as a result, the opponent in the warm-up match was not as strong as he thought.
With only seven successes, those team players were solved by him as neatly as he bullied high school students. He's really not proud, are those warm-up games really a real national team? If so, the level of world basketball is too poor.
In mid-September, in addition to the Ultimate League, one of the world's most interesting basketball tournaments, the Basketball World Cup, officially opened in China.
In the group stage, the Chinese team is in the same group as the world hegemon the United States, and it is the first game. This year's U.S. team is no less impressive than previous U.S. teams, with bright stars. Among them is Wang Weiyu's teammate Merris Arnold.
Before the start of the game, Merris chatted with Wang Weiyu and Jing Qi: "W, I didn't expect that one day we would meet as opponents in the arena. "This shows that you are short-sighted." Wang Weiyu has already regarded Merris as an opponent.
"Please, you can't win anyway, and you don't like to lose, at this moment, it should be the happiest time for you today, before you lose, at least give me a smile, okay?" Merris said, "In that case, I could consider releasing the water." "Drain the water?" Jing Qi asked, "How do you want to release the water?" ”
Merris's eyes were shining: "J, I can throw all the balls if I want." "Then you have lost all the balls, and I can give you a smile to repay you." Wang Weiyu said.
"W, how can you be so undisciplined?" Merris had a "I misread you" expression. Wang Weiyu shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands: "People are in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves, Merris, what a man says must be done, now look good, I'm going to laugh." ”
Then, Wang Weiyu put on a smile that was more ugly than crying at Merris. Merris looked at the back with a chill, "Damn! Is that a smile? You're obviously a ghost expression in a Japanese horror movie! ”
"I've worked hard, how are you? At least you already recognize it as a smile. Now it's up to you to perform, don't score a single goal. Wang Weiyu said with a grin.
Because of this strange agreement, a lot of funny things happened in this game. In order not to score, Merris dunked every dunk, and even the commentary of the Chinese team was very strange: "I don't know what happened to Merris today, this bad state has never been encountered in ten thousand years." ”
The coach of the U.S. team wanted him to adjust because of Merris's poor form, so he kept him on the court. So, Merris continued to perform.
Soon, someone saw the clue, if you are not in a good state, in addition to scoring, other things should not be good? But apart from the score, Merris is a mess in other aspects. There are rebounds, and he has four blocks in one quarter, which is too good to be better.
These mortals don't understand Merris's mood, they can't score points, he is so depressed that he simply uses all his strength on defense. Defend against every attack that rushes to the basket and fight desperately for every ball that bounces off the basket.
Even if there is an inner ghost in the U.S. team, there is still no suspense in the game. The Chinese team went all out and stalemate with the American team, which was in a state of playing the game all over the court, for three quarters, and was taken away by a wave of high-pressure offense and defense by the United States in the fourth quarter, and finally lost by 21 points. Record the smallest point difference between the two teams in history.
Merris was wrong. He thought that Wang Weiyu would be very unhappy after losing, but as a result. After the game, Wang Weiyu explained to his teammates the reason for Merris's poor performance today, which amused everyone.
Losing becomes irrelevant, in this game, the Chinese team is the same whether they fight or not. The rest of the group stage is key. In the following games, Wang Weiyu became more ferocious and played a dominant performance.
In the second game of the group stage, they met the Argentine team, which no longer has players familiar with the Chinese team. They reached this stage with a group of excellent domestic players, and then were beaten by Wang Weiyu, who went all out.
No matter how to send 2 or 3, or even use joint defense to limit Wang Weiyu's breakthrough, it is useless. One-on-one Wang Weiyu suddenly killed you, dare to go down the joint defense, Wang Weiyu broke in and then passed out, so many vacant seats The Chinese team grasped a few enough to scare the Argentine team to withdraw the joint defense.
The Argentine team couldn't withstand Wang Weiyu, and after trying their best, they still couldn't avoid being slaughtered.
The Chinese team can finally slaughter their opponents at the World Series. The opponent was the Argentine team, and in this game, the Chinese team won by 21 points. Wang Weiyu played the whole game, scoring 18 points, 7 assists, 4 rebounds and 5 steals.
All of his seven assists were three-pointers for his teammates. How did it come about? "Argentina put on a joint defense, Wang Weiyu broke in, passed out, and then swooped." That's how it came about.
Five matches in the group stage. Wang Weiyu played in the state of the finals, and no one could stop him.
In five games in the group stage, the Chinese team won three out of five games, and Wang Weiyu averaged 15 points, 5 assists, 3 rebounds and 4 steals per game. No. 2 in points per game, No. 1 in assists, No. 4 in games, and No. 1 in steals per game.
As the second leader of the Chinese team, Jing Qi averaged 18 points per game, ranked first in the team, 2 assists and 11 rebounds, second in the team, and first in the team with 3.4 blocks.
It was under the leadership of these two that the Chinese team played the best group stage in history, rushed to the top 18, and confidently prepared for the knockout round. (To be continued.) )
