At the end of the first half, the Chinese team still maintained the lead at 41:38. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Both the home audience and the audience in front of the TV were very excited, and with Li Hai here, the Chinese team finally did not have to be afraid of the opponent going crazy.

In the second quarter, when the Greek team was about to go crazy, Li Hai directly used excellent defense and even more crazy offense to curb the opponent's momentum, and now it was time for the opponent to be afraid that the Chinese team would go crazy.

When Lehi is attacking strongly, the team can always have open spots, and when he hits a few open three-pointers, a small climax appears, which is a problem that every opponent will worry about in the game.

It's a pity that Li Nan is injured and can't play, Li Hai is a little regretful, otherwise he distributes the ball, if Li Nan and Zhu Fangyu are ambushed outside the three-point line, he guarantees that no team will dare to easily trap Yao Ming on the inside.

In the second half, the Greek team strengthened the breakthrough, and it seemed that it was going to fight with the Chinese team with all its might.

However, the Chinese team has a high interior line, and it is not so easy for them to get in.

When it came to the rotation period, the Chinese team also tried a small lineup, Yi Jianlian, who was the fastest in the interior line, played the No. 5 position, and Li Hai went to the No. 4 position.

Lehi's style of play in the No. 4 position is impressed by anyone who sees the playoffs, and head coach Younas doesn't want Lehi's defensive ability to be unable to play.

After a try, they found that this effect was very good, especially in the face of those fast little ones, Yao Ming's movement was not enough to see, and sometimes he couldn't take care of it, but Li Hai was different, if those little ones rushed in casually and wanted to go to the basket, he could interfere in time.

By the time Li Hai was at the break, the Chinese team had already led by 9 points.

When he rested, it was when Yao Ming led the team, Yao Ming had enough rest time, and when he came up, he forced the opponent's foul under the basket.

There is no doubt that the game is gradually entering the rhythm of the Chinese team.

At the last moment, the Chinese team was still leading by double digits, and the Greek team was not reluctant, and the final score was 85:77, and the Chinese team defended the Cup.

Li Hai and Yao Ming both scored 20+, giving full play to the advantages of strong points, and also making head coach Younas more clear about how to play next.

Lehi held back his strength to fight Greece, but the result was a little different from what he imagined, and he still couldn't enjoy that kind of exhilarating top-level confrontation until the real tournament.

After the Stankovic Cup, the national team immediately left for Sapporo, Japan.

This World Championship is the first year of expansion to 24 teams, and the Chinese team is placed in Group D, along with five other teams, the United States, Senegal, Puerto Rico, Italy and Slovenia, and the top four teams in the group are in the round of 16.

Compared with the host Japanese team's Group B, Group D is relatively strong, the 2004 Olympic Games runner-up Italy, also the Olympic Games performed well, Puerto Rico, who defeated the United States team, plus the No. 1 seed United States team, it is not easy for the Chinese team to achieve a good ranking.

However, with the combination of Li Hai and Yao Ming, the other teams that were placed in the strongest team in Asia also felt a little unlucky.

On August 19, the men's World Basketball Championship officially started, and the first opponent of the Chinese team was the European powerhouse Italy.

The Chinese team continued to start the last game of the Si Cup, Liu Wei, Li Hai, Zhu Fangyu, Yi Jianlian and Yao Ming.

Italy's starters are Belineri, Barres, Denis Macnado, Luca Gali and Di Bella, and Andrea Bagnani, who was selected not long ago, did not play with the team, they are a terrifying team on the outside, and the starters except for center Makenado have a three-point hand, which is completely a strengthened version of the South Korean team.

After the start of the game, the Chinese team got the opportunity to attack first, Liu Wei passed the ball to Yao Ming, Yao Ming did not make a shooting action, the opponent fouled, and the fierceness of the European team's defense was shown at the beginning.

The sideline ball was sent to Li Hai's hands, Yi Jianlian came up to cover, and Li Hai bypassed the defender and hit a three-point shot, which was neat.

Some players in the Chinese team may be a little nervous in the face of a major tournament like the World Championships, but it certainly does not include Li Hai, who is just excited.

The defender in front of him is Belineri, a young player who will not enter the NBA until next season, and he will definitely be crushed physically, if he comes to defend Lehi, who is very experienced in the face of European ferocity.

After Lehi hit the first shot, Barres also hit a three-pointer under the cover of his teammates, which was quite like finding the court.

However, Li Hai did not plan to compare himself with the other party, and after winning the NBA championship, his vision was different, he was not an opponent with whom he agreed, and he would not care too much at all.

Next, the Chinese team put the main attack on the inside, and when it came to the World Championships, Yao Ming also took out all his combat power, hitting two goals in a row, Yi Jianlian also used his height to play one, and Italy's tallest player suffered from the inside height completely exposed.

Liu Wei took the opportunity to cut in, received the ball and played a 2+1, and the opening game was only a few minutes, and the score became 12:3.

The only big man in the Italian team who is more than 2.10 meters tall Maknado also quickly fouled twice and went off the break, Italy simply played a small lineup, and all five positions can be shot outside, this lineup makes the Chinese team feel more uncomfortable than the starting lineup.

The Chinese team can actually let Li Hai play a small lineup with a fast team, but the small lineup of the Chinese team cannot be very strong in controlling the ball, and head coach Younas still decided to use the height advantage to play the opponent.

Under the ferocious defense of Italy, the responsibility of organizing gradually fell to Lehi, although Lehi's organizational level is not top-notch, but the victory is less mistakes, if he has an advantage inside, he can use a pair of long arms to pass the ball just right to connect the team's attack.

At the end of the first quarter, the Chinese team led by 5 points at 22:17.

Yao Ming went to rest, but Li Hai was still on the court, he had already communicated with the head coach that he could play more during the World Championships, and it didn't matter if he played the whole game with his physical strength.

The problem of offensive organization has always been a relatively big weakness of the Chinese team, and after having Li Hai, this weakness is gone, and Younas also hopes that Li Hai will try to control the situation on the court as much as possible when his physical strength is not affected.

Li Hai is also famous in the NBA for his good physical strength, unlike Yao Ming's height and durability, and he proposed to play a little longer to let Yao Ming rest for a few more minutes so that he can play his best.

As long as Yao Ming maintains his good form, the Chinese team's interior line is one of the strongest among all the teams in the World Championships.

This is the only point that makes Lehi more comfortable playing in the national team than in the Knicks, Eddie Curry has the strength of Yao Ming, and the Knicks will be more relaxed against other teams.

In the World Championships, the advantage of the inside line can help the team wrestle with the world's best teams. (To be continued.) )
