Chapter 93 The World Championships begin

Greece was directly killed by Liu Su's three-point shot, and he shot four three-pointers in a row, plus three times with Yi Jianlian, and assisted Yi Jianlian to shoot three mid-range shots. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Liu Su has always warned Yi Jianlian that in the face of defenders who are much shorter than him, he can shoot directly. With his two-meter-one height, shooting directly in the face of the guard is equal to an empty position, as long as the mentality is good, basically he will not miss.

Yi Jianlian was also obedient, Liu Su passed him the ball and he would shoot it, otherwise Liu Su would definitely clean him up. So he was relieved to throw boldly, and he was very confident in his training, not to mention facing Spanoulis, even in the face of Sun Yue, who was two meters away, he had to throw, and he formed a conditioned reflex.

Faced with two people who had an explosive hand, the Greek team was helpless and lost the game by six points.

After defeating Greece, the Chinese team won the Stankovic Cup.

After a few days of rest, I will go to Japan to participate in the World Championships. This year, the Chinese team was placed in Group D, and the United States, Italy, Senegal, Puerto Rico and Slovenia decided four places.

After playing with Greece, Liu Su only had time to go to a movie with Zhao Yiyi before returning to the National Sports Center. However, Liu Su successfully persuaded Zhao Yiyi to go to Japan to watch the World Championships, and he still paid for the air ticket and hotel booking, and the whole set was packaged.

After a few more trainings, Liu Su corrected the defense of Yi Jianlian and Sun Yue, who are important defensive players and must play a role. In terms of offense, in addition to his actions, Liu Su's shooting relies on hand feeling, and hand feeling cannot be taught.

In the national team, Yi Jianlian and Sun Yue may go to the NBA to participate in the draft, so Liu Su is not stingy with guidance and tells them all the experience gained in the NBA. The Clippers also have good defensive coaches, although they are not players, but they teach knowledge that has been precipitated over a long period of time, and David Lee's defense is taught by assistant coaches.

On the 16th, the Chinese team left for Japan, and Zhao Yiyi had already gone to Japan accompanied by an interpreter invited by Liu Su.

The group stage needs to be played five games, one game every two days, and the schedule is still relatively loose. The first game of the Chinese team was against the United States team, and this year's American team learned the lessons of the 04 Athens Olympics and sent a lot of players who could shoot three-pointers.

Joe Johnson, Hinrich, James, Jamison, Battier, Wade, Paul, Bosh, Howard, Brad Miller, Brand, Anthony.

With such a strong lineup, it is possible to win the NBA championship every year, with Paul, a lot of attackers, and Bartyr and Howard on defense, what kind of team can't win?

Facing the American team, Younas also believed that the Chinese team could win, so he strategically gave up the game. In addition, Liu Su's injury has not been healed, so he was not allowed to play, Yao Ming was also looking for his state in the first half, and then let him roughly in the second half.

Yi Jianlian and Du Feng took turns to see the strength of the players of the American team, and Sun Yue also had many opportunities to single out super scorers such as James, Wade, and Anthony. Teenager Chen Jianghua also raced with Wade to let everyone know how good he is.

The Chinese team lost a bit badly, losing the game 120-84. Many domestic fans were dissatisfied and didn't know why Liu Su was not allowed to play, Yao Ming was also on the first half, and sat directly on the bench in the second half.

Assistant coach Adijiang said to reporters after the game: "Fans will definitely wonder why this game was abandoned, and I will explain it here. The lineup of the U.S. team is very well known to the fans, and it is very strong. So we strategically gave up this game, one is to avoid high-intensity games, so that the players are injured, Yao Ming's body everyone knows, we need to protect him, and Liu Su is now injured, and we don't want to be injured again when he is better. The second is that we have a lot of new players this year, and although they have been trained in the Stankovic Cup, they still lack experience in international competitions, so having them play more helps them grow. In particular, Yi Jianlian and Sun Yue, Liu Su and Yao Ming have not taught them the NBA experience, and they need to hone these skills through games. ”

Adijiang's words made the fans reluctantly accept, and then the fans were finally satisfied in the next game. Liu Su still didn't start, as long as he didn't sit on the sidelines when he was not going to lose.

In the four games, Liu Su played in the last quarter against Italy and Slovenia, and then led the team to crush easily. The Chinese team won four games and lost one in five games, and qualified with the second place in Group D.

After the Chinese team qualified, domestic fans rejoiced.

On the 26th, in the round of 16, China played against Lithuania. Lithuania is a strong team, a traditional European basketball powerhouse. But China has a big advantage over Lithuania, and that is the head coach Younas.

Younas is a Lithuanian and is very familiar with the Lithuanian pair, and he arranged the tactics that best suited him. Yao Ming in the first half and Liu Su in the second half.

Yao Ming is a big killer, few people dare to say that one-on-one can prevent Yao Ming, Howard can't, and O'Neal can't. In the face of Yao Ming, Lithuania is not good, and in the first quarter, I saw Yao Ming overturning the river and the sea on the inside line of Lithuania, killing a river of blood and slashing 18 points.

Liu Su and Yi Jianlian also played a few blocks, scoring 6 and 4 points respectively, and the Chinese team led by 6 points at 28:22 in the first quarter.

In the second quarter, Yao Ming went down to rest first, and roughly went to the center to play at the top. Yi Jianlian was also replaced by Du Feng, the small forward was replaced by Zhu Fangyu, the point guard was replaced by Liu Wei, and Liu Su was promoted to the second position.

Liu Wei handed the ball over the half court to Liu Su, and Liu Su faced Lithuania's outside defenders and immediately recruited people to block and dismantle. Du Feng also has a mid-pitch, and he can roughly be mid-pitched, and there is basically no solution after blocking and dismantling.

Liu Wei's speed is also very fast, and he can also play defensive counterattacks, and Zhu Fangyu's three points have also scored. In the sixth minute, Liu Su went down to rest and waited until the third quarter to play a fatal blow to Lithuania.

In the third quarter, Liu Su and Yao Ming were both on the court, Yao Ming's physical strength still had some energy, so Liu Su fed Yao Ming the ball first, let him play his residual heat and then go down to rest.

Yao Ming came off the field after the fourth minute, and Younas put on a fantastic lineup. Center Yi Jianlian, power forward Du Feng, small forward Zhu Fangyu, scoring guard Liu Su, point guard Liu Wei.

In the confusion of the Lithuanian players, the speed of the Chinese team suddenly increased, and before Lithuania could react, three three-pointers blinded Lithuania.

The fans shouted, "Run! "Run, boom!"

Lithuania woke up at this time, this is Liu Su's forte. When Liu Su first joined the Clippers last year, he relied on running and accurate passing to turn the Clippers' bench players into bench bandits, laying the cornerstone of the Clippers' rise.

Lithuania also didn't have much to do in the face of shelling, and European teams rarely used this tactic. Because this tactic requires a point guard with stable passing, otherwise too many mistakes are giving the opponent points.

Obviously, Liu Su is such a point guard, he rarely misses the ball, and can be found as long as there is an open space. And Lithuania does not have such a point guard, so it can only find a way to cope.
