Argentina guarded Wang Jun tightly, and Nocioni and Ginobili went on together, and he reduced his shots and increased his passes, allowing Yao Ming to attack in the low post.

Yao Ming quickly proved that Wang Jun was not the only one on the Chinese team, turned around and squeezed Oberto into the basket, scored a one-handed board and made a foul, and received a free throw.

After two more rounds, Oberto couldn't defend himself and could only foul and was replaced after two fouls.

This is very bad for Argentina, and the rules of the World Championship are that players have to be sent off for five fouls, unlike the NBA.

Substitute centre-forward Volkovski comes on. This is a veteran, with a range beyond the three-point line, who briefly joined the NBA, played more than 40 games for the SuperSonics and the Celtics, and can only be a marginal man with little stats.

HE COULDN'T ADAPT TO THE RHYTHM OF THE NBA BECAUSE HE WAS TOO SLOW, ONLY 208CM TALL AND WEIGHED 122 KG.

Walkovsky barely withstood Yao Ming, but he couldn't prevent a turnaround jumper, he was too short and his arm span was average.

Argentina was forced to compress the defense line to deal with Yao Ming, and Zhu Fangyu and Liu Wei hit three-pointers on the periphery.

Even if the rotation is fast enough, the ball can be passed to Wang Jun, and Yi Jianlian can block and dismantle the attack.

At halftime, the Chinese team led 52-38.

In the second half, Argentina still couldn't find the offensive feeling, the interior line was completely deserted, and no one in the center could pass Yao Ming.

Ginobili was also prevented, Wang Jun kept being close, he would encounter a bag clamp when he burst in, at least two people interfered, and the shot continued to hit the iron.

How to play the Chinese team's interior attack. Not only Yao Ming, but Yi Jianlian is also very threatening after blocking and dismantling, and he is explosive. The big man in Argentina is attracted to Yao Ming, and a mismatch is an opportunity.

Relying on a clear inside advantage. The Chinese team maintained the lead, winning the game 101-84.

Argentina showed no signs of winning. Surprise the fans who support them.

Yao Ming played his best personal game in this World Championships, shooting 15 of 20, 8 of 8 free throws, and cutting 38 points, 15 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 blocks.

Wang Jun's 25 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal was the second highest scoring on the team, with an average shooting percentage, only 7 of 20 shots, 3 of 9 three-pointers, and 8 of 9 free throws.

Wang's main contribution is on the defensive end. He put Ginobili's defense out of order. He made just 6 of 21 shots, 4-of-9 from three-point range and 5-of-6 from the free-throw line to finish with 21 points, four rebounds and four assists.

Ginobili had a good three-point shooting rate, and he shot after covering Wang Jun, and fell one-on-one.

The Chinese team continues to make history.

At the post-match press conference, Yao Ming said happily: "When Wang Jun returned to China, he said that the goal was to win the championship, and we didn't dare to think about it until the warm-up was over and came to Japan. Nobody thinks we're going to be favourites, it's like a dream. ”

The low-key Yao Ming thinks that the Chinese team can win the championship, let alone Wang Jun.

He was interviewed by Abby and said with a smile: "I'm surprised that Dream Seven didn't make it to the finals. This gives us a great chance to win the title. I don't believe Greece will be stronger than Spain and Argentina. They don't even have a single person who plays in the NBA. ”

Abby reminded: "Spanoulis is going to join the Rockets next season, and Greece has NBA players. ”

"Then I'd love him to play against me in the final." Wang Jun is full of confidence.

Yi Jianlian scored 16 points and 7 rebounds and evaluated Wang Jun. "Wang Jun is a very good person to get along with. He taught me a lot and made me more open on the court. ”

The reporter asked, "You're going to the NBA draft next season." Which team would you like to go to? ”

"Personally, I would like to be drafted by a fast-paced team."

The reporter asked: "The Bulls also have a high draft pick next year, are you willing to go to the Bulls?" ”

"Of course. But it's hard for them to pick me, right? Yi Jianlian smiled shyly.

Aldridge was sent away, and the possibility of Yi Jianlian going to the Bulls is very low, and it is not conducive to his development.

The tone of online comments has changed dramatically, and most people are optimistic that the Chinese team will beat Greece to win the championship.

A lot of people think that Greece is a civilian team that will not play so well every game by eliminating Dream 7 as a whole. China is different, they have two superstars.

The next day in the hotel, Wang Jun was interviewed by Japan's largest sports media. This was agreed a long time ago, and when you come to Japan, you must give face to the host.

Japanese women journalists have a big problem. "Mr. Wang Jun, do you think the yellow race is on the rise in basketball now? You've taken a good lead for all Asians, and more and more young people are believing that yellow people can play basketball well. ”

"It's clear that Chinese basketball has risen. It is an inevitable trend for the physical fitness of the yellow race to get better and better, and then the advent of the Internet era, it is easy to learn playing skills, search on the Internet to find the explanation of tactics, watch the video of the star, and have some effect compared to practice. Wang Jun smiled.

Chinese basketball has risen, and he doesn't know if Japanese basketball will rise, but they are also yellow people, and they may only be able to play at home.

The reporter asked, "How did you train and improve?" ”

"Study the way superstars play, then find the technique that works for you and practice diligently." Wang Jun's answer was very simple.

It's not perfunctory, unless there are people in Japan who are open-minded, it's impossible to practice the same as him.

The journalist asked: "Do you have any good advice for young players?" ”

"Don't think about being in the limelight on the pitch and scoring fancy goals at the beginning, you have to practice the basics. If you have solid fundamentals, are good at playing coordination, and can take easy opportunities to jump and put the ball in the basket, you can be a good role player. Then it's about honing your skills and learning to play to your strengths on the court. ”

The reporter asked: "In other words, do you think the most important thing to become a star is the foundation?" ”

"Yes, I want to run before I learn to walk, but the result is often a fall, and basic skills are necessary to become a star. Only when a person has solid basic skills can he integrate technology. Duncan, Jordan, O'Neal and others are a fresh move, but they are actually back to basics, and their basic skills are very good. ”

The female reporter smiled and asked, "But I see that you don't just attack in one way on the field." ”

"I'm a young man, and if I get a layup when I can dunk, I'm sorry for the fans." Wang Jun paused for a moment and said with a smile: "And the way I score the most and the most sure way to score is not a dunk or a breakthrough, but a jump shot, which is the foundation." ”

Jump shooting is the best practice, junior high school students will do, but the difficult thing is to practice.

The interview ended without a hitch. The players rested, Wang Jun did not go out, and waited for the final in the hotel.

The Chinese men's basketball team collectively refused to interview on the last day, which made the players relent. If you lose in the last game, this World Championship will not be perfect. They have already made history and of course hope to go one step further and make it to the top.

Argentina and Dream 7 played the 3rd and 4th place duels, and the Dream Team won and won a bronze medal. The stars were ugly, they didn't smile, and it wasn't the way they wanted it to end.

The American media briefly commented two sentences after the game, and they were embarrassed to say that they were embarrassed to take revenge on Argentina. Coach K also admitted that this Dream 7 team is not the best team in the World Championships.

Abby's colleagues, as well as the other reporters in charge of interviewing the Dream 7 team, were embarrassed and didn't know how to write the news.

On September 3, the day of the decisive battle came.
