The attention of the men's basketball world championship is far less than in previous years, and there is even a taste of chicken ribs. A number www.biquge.info of NBA superstars such as Kobe Bryant and James collectively "withdrew" from the World Championships, while Parker, Nowitzki and other core players of national teams did not participate in the World Championships for various reasons. Without stars, there is naturally no motivation to attract.

Professional basketball clubs have always been very resistant to the World Championships, especially the teams in the NBA in the United States, which originally coped with more than 80 regular seasons in a season has made the players very tired, if you add the playoffs, even those players with superhuman physical fitness will feel physically and mentally exhausted, and in order to make the stars play in the best condition in the new season, but also in order to avoid injuries to the stars, NBA teams require international players not to participate in the World Championships, which has become an unspoken rule within the NBA.

In contrast to the lucrative wages that clubs can offer their players, the World Championships can offer nothing more than patriotic fervor and a desire to win. Foreigners have never paid attention to "dedication", and Chinese have passed the era of "dedication", and nothing makes players feel more secure than the colorful bills given by the club and a series of "zeros" on the bank account. The so-called food king's Lu bears the king's worries, and it is understandable that athletes take the club's money and spend all their thoughts on the league.

Under the pressure of reality, this year's World Championships is like Lu cuisine without salt and Sichuan cuisine without spicy, light and tasteless. Even the Dream Nine team in the United States does not have a top superstar in the NBA.

In fact, this Dream Nine team is not without top superstars, if it is placed in three years, it can find several NBA superstars. At least Durant, Curry and Westbrook are the three names that will represent the future NBA; Moreover, now Rose has grown into a first-line point guard in the NBA; Year 2 Lefu is also about to start his "data farming journey" next season; Veteran Billups can bring plenty of experience to the team; Odom hasn't been played by Kardashian yet; Granger had just had his most well-rounded season; Chandler and Iguodala can make the team's defense tougher; Rudy Gay and Eric Gordon are also great firepower additions to the team's backcourt.

But it's a pity that it's only 2010, and these future superstars are still young, and in the whole team, only Billups, Durant and Rose have been selected as All-Stars, and they are all substitutes. And Durant, who has just won the NBA "scoring champion", has become the tactical core of the Dream Nine team.

Because of this, this Dream Nine team is generally looked down upon, whether it is in the United States, or the media in Europe and the United States, they are not optimistic about the performance of the Dream Nine team in the World Championships.

The group stage of the World Men's Basketball Championship in Turkey is divided into four cities, with Group A in Kayseri, Group B in Istanbul, Group C in Ankara, and Group D in Izmir. Once the knockout rounds are reached, all the matches will be played in Istanbul.

The national team is in Group A, so it will be held in Kayseri, a city in central Turkey, which has a small population and is not even as popular as some counties in the eastern part of the country, but it is a famous tourist destination in Turkey. The Temple of Artemis and the Mausoleum of Mauserlus are located here, along with the Yalova Hot Springs and Lake Kush, as well as the famous Cappadocia Stone Forest.

After the national team arrived in Kayseri, they did not care about visiting the scenic spot at all, and on the second day of arrival, the national team entered an intense training session.

"According to the rules of the World Championships, the top four teams in each group qualify, and in the first round of the knockout round, the first in Group A is the fourth in Group B, the second in Group A is the third in Group B, the third in Group A is the second in Group B, and the fourth in Group A is the first in Group B. The U.S. team has been drawn in Group B, along with Slovenia, Brazil, Croatia, Iran and Tunisia, so the U.S. team should be assured of topping the group. Coach Deng said, looked up, and continued: "If we want to go further in the knockout round, we must not finish fourth in Group A, otherwise we will have to meet the United States." ”

Everyone nodded their heads, and no team wanted to meet the United States before the final.

"The strongest team in Group A is undoubtedly Argentina, who are ranked No. 1 in the world rankings by FIBA in the latest world rankings, beating the United States. Although Ginobili did not participate this time, they still have NBA players like Scola and Delfino in their team, and their strength is still strong. The Serbian team has risen very strongly in the past two years, after all, their predecessor was the Yugoslav men's basketball team, which was once the hegemon of international basketball, and it is normal for them to recover, and they are also ranked fourth in the latest world rankings. Coach Deng Huade said this, looked at the crowd, and continued: "It can be said that it is very difficult for us to get a win against Argentina and Serbia. ”

"If we want to qualify for third place, we have to beat Germany, Angola and Jordan, and the most important of them is the game against Germany. Nowitzki is also not involved in this year's World Championships, so we have a chance to get a win against Germany. A win over Germany will give us a good chance of securing third place in Group A. ”

Deng Huade said, took out the schedule, and continued: "Our first game is on August 28, against Jordan, Jordan's overall strength is not as good as ours, so this is a good warm-up opportunity for us. ”

'Our second game is against Argentina on 30 August, and then we have to play back-to-back games on 31 August, and against Germany, it will be our most important game in the group stage, and the back-to-back schedule will be a big test for us. Deng Huade continued: "On September 1, we will face Serbia, and on September 2, we will play Angola. In other words, from August 30th, we have four days in a row, so you have to be mentally prepared. ”

The match between the Chinese team and the Jordanian team did not receive much attention from the locals, and the game time was a local afternoon, many people needed to work, and the audience at the scene was more of some overseas Chinese.

"This time Zhang Guan and Da Yao both came to Turkey, and the performance of the Chinese team is really exciting! In the Olympic Games two years ago, they led the Chinese team to defeat the United States and won the championship, and this time they may be able to win the championship! ”

"The championship should be unlikely, Da Yao has had such a big operation, has been recuperating, has not played for several months, Zhang Guan is even more outrageous, the last time he appeared on the basketball court, it was the Olympics two years ago. I don't know how much strength the two of them have left. I think it's better to rely on the UAE than on the two of them. ”

"I don't think it's very likely to be the champion, although the American Dream Nine team is not favored, but Durant is the NBA scoring champion last season, and there are also Spain and Argentina, and the Chinese team can get a medal It is a very good result."

"In any case, Jordan is a weak team, perhaps the weakest of the twenty-four teams, and there should be no suspense for the Chinese team to win today's game!"

The Jordanian team is participating in the World Championships for the first time, they got the ticket to the World Championships by virtue of the third place in the Asian Championships, in terms of comprehensive strength, the Jordanian team is naturally inferior to the Chinese team, not to mention, the Jordanian team is more disadvantaged in terms of height, the tallest center in the team Zeid Akas is only 2.08 meters, and the tall inside line in the face of China is only a complete part. In addition to Akas, there are only two people in the Jordanian team who have reached a height of 2.05 meters, and it is no exaggeration to say that the small forwards of the Chinese team can compete with the center of the Jordanian team.

However, the Jordanian team is stronger in the backcourt than the Chinese team, because it is thought that the Jordanian team has a naturalized American player, Rahim White.

Raheem White, who was born in the United States and later naturalized in Jordan, is the Jordanian team's leading scorer and tactical core. At 191 centimeters tall and weighing 95 kilograms, he is arguably a strong guard, and he was once the leading scorer at the University of the District of Columbia, and he is also a well-known figure in the NCAA Division II League. In the 2009 Asian Championships, White once caused a lot of trouble for the Chinese team, and it can be said that the backcourt players of the Chinese team were blown up. White's most offensive weapon is after breaking through with the ball, and he is good at pulling the rod to reverse the blue, which can effectively prevent the block of the interior player, and the strong body is very lethal for defenders. But his shooting ability is very average, even the free throw shooting percentage can only be regarded as barely qualified, it can be said that White is the kind of typical American guard. And this kind of American guard, even if it is not ranked in the United States, can indeed beat China's guard in terms of strength.

In addition to White, Jordan's pioneer Sayed Abbas is also familiar to Chinese fans, as he is an Asian foreign player in the CBA league and has made it to the starting lineup of the CBA All-Star Game in the future. Due to CBA regulations, only the bottom five teams in the league can bring in Asian foreign aid, so Abbas has been playing in the weak team in the CBA, but whichever team he joins, which team will enter the playoffs, but the rules force him to only join another team in the bottom five, so his CBA career is to change teams every year. Since 2009, Abbas has helped Shanghai, Beijing, Fujian, Shandong, Tianjin and other teams reach the playoffs, which is also nicknamed "Abbas's Law".

In addition to these two, it is difficult for the Jordan team to find a third scoring point, and for the Chinese team, as long as they can clamp these two people, it is equivalent to controlling the whole game.

In fact, the first game against the Chinese team was not good news for the Jordanian team. The world doesn't know much about the Jordanian men's basketball team, if it is replaced by other opponents, they don't know the tactical arrangements of the Jordanian team, and they don't know the characteristics of the Jordanian team's players, and the Jordanian team can take advantage of this to catch the opponent off guard.

However, the Chinese team and the Jordanian team are both Asian teams, and they have already competed with each other many times, and they know each other better, even if the Jordanian team uses some surprise tactics, it will not have any effect. But what's worse is that the first game will fully expose the characteristics and tactical arrangements of the Jordanian team, and other teams can also make targeted adjustments and arrangements when they meet the Jordanian team again.

Similar situations are very common in sports competitions, the most recent example is the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, North Korea faced Brazil in their first game, and finally lost 1-2, losing only one goal against Brazil, and they could score one goal, largely because the Brazilian team at that time did not know anything about North Korea. But in the second game, North Korea was crushed by Portugal 0-7. Could it be that Portugal is stronger than Brazil? The answer is definitely not. The match between North Korea and Brazil leaked the tactics and exposed the characteristics of the players, and for Portugal, as long as they were slightly targeted, they could easily crush North Korea.

……

In this game, the five players who started the Chinese team were roughly , UAE, Wang Shipeng, Sun Yue and Liu Wei. Zhang Guan and Da Yao both sat on the bench and had no intention of playing, which made many fans at the scene feel quite disappointed.

And the Jordanian team also has the feeling of punching the air. In the pre-match preparations, most of the Jordanian team's preparations were aimed at Zhang Guan and Da Yao, after all, the two were the "double core" of the Chinese team, and the Jordanian team prepared various tactics to deal with the two. However, the two did not start, which wasted most of the Jordanians' pre-match preparation.

Jordan's head coach Parma's face looked very ugly, and his pre-match preparations did not work. The two main forces of the Chinese team are also deliberately retaining their strength, which makes Parma feel despised and despised.

Since both sides knew each other better, there was not much temptation, and the game was really done at the beginning. The Chinese team relied on the inside to score consecutive points, roughly with the inside duo of the United Arab Emirates, and the Jordan team still has a lot of experience. In last year's Asian Championships, White caused a lot of trouble for the Chinese team, so at the World Championships, Coach Parma repeated his old skills and was ready to continue to play White's strengths.

White's memory of the Chinese team is still stuck in last year's Asian Championships, when he single-handedly turned the Chinese team's outside players upside down, when Sun Yue was sent off for five fouls, Wang Shipeng also had four fouls, but still couldn't stop White from getting what he wanted, so today's White was ready to replicate last year's successful experience, but soon, White found that his tricks were not as good as last year, and the Chinese team's defense was much tougher than last year.

Although Deng Huade's tactical level is not high, the strategy of "playing chicken blood" has an immediate effect on the improvement of the national team's defense, especially in the first game, the team's physical fitness is relatively abundant, even if he is a veteran, he and Liu Wei are also very defense, which greatly limits White's personal ability and makes his ball-holding breakthrough frequently blocked.

And Abbas, the other core of the Jordanian team, is also out of shape today.

Abbas, who plays in the CBA, is very familiar with Chinese players, so no matter who he faces, he will feel at ease, except for Da Yao, Zhang Guan and the United Arab Emirates, because none of these three have played in the CBA. In the game, Abbas, as the big forward of the Jordanian team, directly faced the United Arab Emirates.

Abbas and the UAE once played against each other in last year's Asian Championships, but now the UAE is a mixed NBA after all, the growth in the NBA and the growth in the CBA are completely two concepts, especially young players, playing in the NBA for a year seems to be a complete change of person, and the UAE, which is one year older, is also more mature and stable than last year. Because of this, Abbas did not play at a normal level against the UAE, especially in terms of secondary rebounds, which was completely suppressed by the UAE.

In the first quarter of the game, the Chinese team led by 7 points at 21-14, and after the start of the second quarter, the Chinese team replaced several young people, and the effect of "playing chicken blood" was more obvious. Although the young players also made several mistakes, they always maintained the gap in the score. At the end of the first half, the Chinese team led the Jordan team by 10 points at 41-31.

At the start of the second half, the score of the two sides hovered around 10 points. White's attack was blocked, Abbas couldn't play, and the game began to become suspenseless, and in the last two minutes, the eight-point gap also let the Jordan team know that this game was no longer possible.

The score was finally fixed at 81-73, and the Chinese team defeated the first opponent without any danger. (To be continued.) )
