Chapter 551 [Advance to the Final Four, Step on Your Feet]

Gasol hesitated when he received the basketball.

He barely shoots three-pointers in the NBA, and the three-point line in the World Championships is closer than in the NBA, and he is perfectly capable of shooting, but there is a voice in his head that prevents him from doing so.

If you can't vote, don't vote.

This voice is the voice of his heart.

Big Gasol passed, and he lost to himself.

The Spanish pitchers were stared at, passed a few times and had no easy shots, and finally Navarro faced Wang Jun's interference jumper, and the ball deflected off the basket.

With only 12 seconds left, Yi Jianlian grabbed the rebound and passed it to Liu Wei nearby, CalderΓ³n fouled, and Spain must use foul tactics to stop the game, otherwise it will definitely lose.

It's a pity that this is useless, the Chinese people present are not accurate in their free throws, even if Yi Jianlian's shooting rate is more than 70%.

Liu Wei withstood the pressure, steadily hit both free throws, and waved his arms excitedly when he returned to defense.

110 to 105, unless a miracle happens, the Chinese team wins.

Even if he hits a three-pointer, Spain will have to use foul tactics again.

Spain attacked, Calderon quickly brought to the front court to grab a three-point shot, the rebound was grabbed by Pau Gasol, he distributed the ball out of the line, Calderon made another three-point shot, still did not score.

Yi Jianlian grabbed the rebound with only 4.7 seconds left before Gabajosa fouled again.

Spain didn't want to lose, but they had already lost, and this foul would only allow the Chinese team to score easily and widen the difference.

Yi Jianlian hit both free throws without pressure, 112-105.

Spain gave up and no more fouls.

Yu Jia shouted excitedly: "Win." The Chinese team defeated the mighty Spain to advance to the semi-finals, the great Wang Jun. He led the Chinese men's basketball team to a historic breakthrough with a key three-pointer. ”

Zhang Li said with a smile: "This moment will be recorded in history, I think Wang Jun has locked up the scoring champion and MVP of this competition." ”

Wang Jun scored 43 points. He also had 8 rebounds and 5 assists, and the performance was very comprehensive.

For his average points per game record being broken, Zhang Li has no regrets and keeps praising Wang Jun. "He also has a chance to break the world championship record of 35.5 points per game by Brazilian legend Oscar Schmidt, which is incredible."

Yu Jia said with a smile: "Argentina's match against Turkey will be played later, and the winner will meet China in the semi-finals. I think it's probably going to be a test against last Olympic champion Argentina. ”

At the press conference, a Chinese reporter interviewed Wang Jun and asked: "The Chinese team beat Spain in a record, can you tell us how you feel?" ”

Wang Jun said flatly: "This win is not easy. Thanks to teamwork and fighting spirit, we played an efficient offensive performance and needed to be strengthened defensively. ”

For him, it is not worth being happy to reach the semi-finals, as long as he is eliminated, even if he wins the runner-up, it is a failure.

The Japanese reporter asked in English: "Do you think the Chinese team is likely to win the championship?" ”

"You can only fight one game at a time, and then talk about the next round first."

Wang Jun didn't have the confidence to beat Mengqi, two warm-up games, and one in the group stage. The Chinese team lost. They lose in athleticism, and players can only rely on joint defense to limit the opponent's penetration.

Dream Seven's only weakness is the lack of low-post offense, Howard is too rough and more effective when defending. The other insiders like to pull out and play pick-and-roll. Brand is the best back. ONLY 203CM IN SIZE, IT IS SLIGHTLY INFERIOR IN DEFENSE.

And this time, Mengqi's three-point shot is good, and there are strongmen like Wade and James in the breakthrough. It's really hard to deal with.

Unlike Wang Jun, his teammates have said a lot. Reaching the semi-finals, some people are very happy.

That's a good thing. In the next game they are relaxed and there is no pressure. No one will blame you for losing, and it will be even more glamorous if you win.

And the value of the CBA players will rise, and they will definitely make more money in the future, and this World Championship has gilded them.

Later in the match, Argentina beat Turkey to advance to the semi-finals.

In the United States, NBA commissioner David Stern is also following the World Championships and is a little depressed.

Wang Jun has played well on the international stage, and there will be more people who think he will dominate the NBA. He is different from Ginobili, back in the NBA, Ginobili is only the second or third leader in the Spurs, with Duncan pressing.

Wang Jun became a star very well and opened up the Chinese market, but a Chinese stole all the local stars from the limelight, which is a bit too much.

Let a foreigner rule the NBA? Trampling all the stars under your feet? Stern didn't want to see this.

If James won two MVPs and championships in the third year, the league would have started to promote one super Kobe Bryant and two super sharks, but they didn't promote Wang Jun like this.

The Chinese team reached the semifinals, and the NBA officials did not mention Wang Jun much.

Now Stern is a little worried about Dream 7, he must win the championship, at least to regain the hegemony of international basketball, and if he loses again, he will lose face.

The next day, the Chinese media made headlines about the men's basketball game. They touched everyone's hearts, just like the Chinese women's volleyball team back then.

Wang's stats overwhelm a group of NBA stars. There are too many stars in Dream 7, and it is impossible to concentrate the ball in the hands of one person.

The players rested for two days, Wang Jun couldn't go out on the street at all, and many Japanese fans held signs outside the hotel, ready to surround him.

On the 30th, the United States eliminated Germany and Greece eliminated France, and the two teams will meet in the semifinals.

On the 31st, the four teams eliminated in the previous round played a qualifying round, with Turkey beating Lithuania and France beating Germany.

The media predicted two semi-finals, and no one was optimistic about Greece beating Dream Seven, which was called a game without suspense. No player from Greece is currently playing in the NBA.

Argentina VS China, there are 4 percent of people who are optimistic about the Chinese team, although it is not as good as Argentina, but it is not bad. If it had been in 2004, no one would have believed that the Chinese team could beat Argentina, not even the Chinese fans.

The team was favored, but the Argentine coach and players were very low-key, and in the pre-match interview, they only said that they would go all out to win, and did not shout the slogan of victory.

The predictions on the Internet are more based on past records, lineup competition, and Argentina's interior line is at a loss.

Starting center Fabirio Oberto is not bad on the inside of other countries, and can be called a defensive stalwort. But in the NBA, the Spurs will never let Oberto, a fringe center with a height of 208CM and a weight of 110 kg, defend Yao Ming, the gap between the two is too big, Yao Ming can play how he wants, and he will definitely not be able to prevent it if he does not cover it.

Power forward position, Yi Jianlian VS Scola, Scola is stronger, he has rich experience in the game, as early as 2002, he was selected by the Spurs 56, is recognized as the second star, and he failed to log in the NBA because of his contract.

Small forward Nocioni is better than Zhu Fangyu, Zhu Fangyu is better at three points, and inferior in all other aspects. After winning the championship with the Bulls, there are more people who are optimistic about Nocioni's future.

Scoring guards are the core of both teams, Ginobili VS Wang Jun, it is believed that Wang Jun will have the upper hand in the matchup, and China will have the advantage. Ginobili is an All-Star, but Wang Jun is the MVP, and it will be difficult for Ginobili to guard against him if he goes head-to-head.

A little better than the bench Argentina, power forward Herman with a 58.5 percent shooting percentage and a 40.2 percent three-point shooting percentage. and the 2003 rookie, Pistons swingman Delfino.

China's substitutes mainly rely on Wang Zhizhi, Sun Yue, Wang Shipeng, and Du Feng, and the offensive firepower is not bad.

Two key positions are dominant, and the Chinese team has every strength to win.
