Chapter 261: Quarterfinals
Rich, rich!
This was Wang Meng's first thought after the fight. After completing the task, the reward will naturally follow, a game victory can add twenty bonus points, five games, Wang Meng's total of a full hundred points, and the existing reward points for completing the task have doubled rewards, Wang Meng still has ten reward points left when he treated Yao Ming before, counting the one hundred reward points obtained by this task, and then the reward is doubled, Wang Meng directly has two hundred and twenty reward points.
All of a sudden, he was well-off.
It turned out that Wang Meng could only look at many things in the store system, and he fantasized about the effect of redeeming these things, but now, Wang Meng, who has two hundred and twenty reward points in his hand, can finally say that he is a big money.
Two hundred and twenty bonus points, Wang Meng needs to plan how to use it, because he doesn't know if there will be any more tasks in the next game, he needs to study how he should make reasonable use of the more than two hundred bonus points.
The Chinese team's unsuccessful record in Group B has been celebrated by the whole country, and basketball, which has gradually become China's biggest sport, has become more and more influential in China. Now the Chinese team has made cross-era progress in the London Olympics, and it has pushed the influence of basketball in China to a peak.
"The golden age of Chinese basketball has arrived, Wang Meng, this young man took over the baton from Yao Ming and pulled Chinese basketball again." After the live broadcast, Zhang Weiping, a famous Chinese basketball commentator, went home and wrote this paragraph on his Weibo, "Wang Meng's future is limitless, and he will get more and more honors in the future, we just need to watch quietly, and then stand up and applaud him when he wins the championship, that's all." At the end, Zhang Weiping also added: "Whether it is an NBA championship or an international champion." ”
The group stage of the Olympic men's basketball project was completed, and the Chinese team in Group B won all five games, ranking first, the second place was Russia, with four wins and one loss, the third place Spain, three wins and two losses, the fourth place Brazil with three wins and two losses, the fifth place Australia, four wins and one loss, and the worst was the British team, which lost all five games, and it was a shame as the host ancestor.
Spain's result was a bit unexpected by Wang Meng, but think about it, it should be Spain that wants to avoid the American team, so they lost another game, so they will not meet the American team in the semifinals.
On Team A's side, the United States team is the same as the Chinese team, winning all five games, France is second, with four wins and one loss, Argentina is third with three wins and two losses, Lithuania is fourth, with two wins and three losses, and the other two teams, Nigeria and Tunisia, are one win, four losses and all defeats respectively, missing the quarterfinals.
In this way, the list of quarterfinals is also out, the first team in Group A, the United States team vs. the fourth Brazil in Group B, the second team in Group A, the French team in Group A vs. Spain third in Group B, the first Chinese team in Group B, the fourth place in Group VSA, Lithuania, the second in Group B, the second Russia in Group B, and the third in Group VSA Group Argentina.
The opponent of the Chinese team is Lithuania, which is ranked fourth in Group A, if it was before, the Chinese team must have felt pressure against Lithuania, but now it is different, after having Wang Meng and Yao Ming, two NBA top players, the Chinese team is only strong in the face of Lithuania. It was Lithuania who was worried about what tactics to use to defeat the opponent.
Lithuania has a good basketball atmosphere, but the country rarely has top stars, China has Yao Ming, Germany has Nowitzki, France has Parker, Argentina has Ginobili, Spain has Gasol, not to mention the United States, but Lithuania does not have a player who plays famous in the NBA.
Therefore, the Lithuanian national team is famous for team basketball in international competitions, whether it is offensive or defensive, they play full of team atmosphere.
This kind of team basketball has become very difficult when facing the Chinese team.
First of all, as a team basketball, the core must be the point guard, any team basketball, the point guard is the brain of the team, and the point guard needs to coordinate the offense and strategy.
When Wang Meng appeared in the point guard position, Lithuania's brain was a little weak.
Wang Meng's approach is very simple, that is, the whole audience is pressing, and the whole court is violently pressing.
Wang Meng's current physical fitness, even if he meets the likes of Rosswiesbrook in the NBA, is not weaker than the inferior, let alone the point guard of Lithuania?
The starting point guard of Lithuania's point guard is Jascovisius, a very good player, a well-known star in the Euroleague, but when he faces the full-court pressure of Wang Meng, who is proud of the NBA, he is also difficult.
Wang Meng's full-court pressing was very tasteless, that is, he simply used his speed to keep up with Jascovisius, and then used his body to press him and prevent him from moving smoothly.
Poor Jascovisius, who is already a thirty-six-year-old veteran, was stumbled by Wang Meng, but Wang Meng just squeezed him and didn't risk stealing the basketball, so he could only continue to be squeezed by Wang Meng like this.
After playing for a short time, Jasco Visius couldn't stand the break, Wang Meng's defense became more and more like kraft candy, don't want to let him go down if he sticks, even if he calls for blocking and dismantling, he can't completely get rid of Wang Meng.
On the defensive end, Wang Meng smoothly suppressed Lithuania's attack, and on the offensive end, China continued the tactics that had been implemented for a long time, waiting for Yao Ming to settle inside, and then handed the ball to Yao Ming.
As soon as Yao Ming held the ball, Lithuania had to go up to the package to assist in the defense.
As soon as someone came up to assist in the defense, Yao Ming immediately passed the ball out, although Lithuania's defense was very fast, but the players of the Chinese team passed the ball back and forth several times, and there would still be a shooting gap after all.
As soon as there was a gap, this group of three-point shooters of the Chinese team began to open.
Lithuania, under the three-point rain of the Chinese team, wanted to cry without tears, but there was nothing they could do. can't defend Yao Ming one-on-one, so he can only watch China shoot three points. At least at the three-point line, the Chinese team's shooting percentage is far lower than the rhythm of Yao Ming's inside singles.
After halftime, as time went by, Yao Ming's physical strength gradually ran out, and he was finally replaced by Deng Huade, and Lithuania breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he could finally find a chance to chase points.
Wang Meng smiled when he saw this.
Although it consumed a lot of physical strength to press Jascovy Hughes in the whole court, because Wang Meng did not invest too much in the attack, his physical strength is still very abundant now.
Wang Meng saw the relieved expressions of the Lithuanian players after seeing Yao Ming go down, and knew that they must be thinking that Yao Ming was going down, the pressure was much less, and they could take the opportunity to chase the points quickly.
"How can it be so easy to chase points?" Wang Meng sneered, and finally started his own offensive rhythm.
He didn't open the instant burst and choose to break through, but controlled the ball and used his speed to rush inside.
Because Wang Meng did not open the instant explosion, the speed was not fast, and at the same time as he broke through, two Lithuanian players surrounded him and clamped Wang Meng.
Everyone thought that Wang Meng would choose to pass the ball after successfully attracting the bag, but unexpectedly found that Wang Meng stopped abruptly and pulled the basketball from left to right.
The two defenders were caught off guard and were shaken out of position by Wang.
Wang Meng stood firmly, and then he was about to jump up and shoot.
"Don't think about shooting so easily!" Although Wang Meng successfully got rid of the defense of the two people, it did not mean that he had completely shaken them off, and the defender on Wang Meng's right pounced towards Wang.
Seeing this player rushing towards him, Wang Meng not only did not show a surprised expression, but laughed.
In such a hurry, the player had already jumped when he rushed over. Wang Meng took the opportunity to take the basketball back into his arms, and then waited for the player.
"Not good!" The player was taken aback and suddenly realized, but it was already too late.
Because his body was in the air, this player could not control his body, so he could only rampage into Wang Meng.
"Squeak!" The whistle blew, and Wang jumped violently.
"Since you've been fouled, you still want to shoot?" This player saw that Wang Meng still wanted to shoot after he fouled, and couldn't help but be angry, anyway, he had already fouled, this player had no scruples, and simply hugged Wang Meng, and at the same time put one hand on Wang Meng's arm.
Wang Meng, who was in pain, shot deformed, shot out of the way, and didn't even occupy the basket.
"Rub!" Wang Meng shook his head depressedly, he originally wanted to fight a two-plus-one, but it was good, but the two-plus-one didn't work, but he said goodbye to him.
Wang Meng stood on the free throw line, his free throw shooting rate has always been very high, but the player just hit Wang Meng's arm really used his strength, Wang Meng's hand felt the impact, and only scored one.
In the process of Wang Meng's serve, Lithuania replaced the poor Jascovitius, who had been entangled by Wang Meng for half the game.
"Hello! You're here. Wang Meng waved at Jascovitius, in exchange for a roll of the other man's eyes.
Jascovysius was afraid of Wang Meng, so he didn't even receive the ball, so the serving player handed the ball to the scoring guard Karl Plutis, and ran to the half court without the ball.
Fully implementing the concept of team basketball, even if Yao Ming is not on the court, Lithuania did not speed up its offensive rhythm to chase points, but still passed slowly to find opportunities.
After 20 seconds of attacking time, Lithuania found an opportunity from the outside and hit a three-point shot.
"Their tactics are very clear, that is, to help defend with the bag." Wang Meng secretly said in his heart, unlike the lame co-defense of most teams in the NBA, Lithuania's co-defense speed is very fast, even if Wang Meng chooses to pass the ball in the case of being trapped, other players on the other side can also make up for the vacant players in the first time, in the absence of Yao Ming Zhenshan inside, the Chinese team relies on Wang Meng's breakthrough ball alone, and it is difficult to find opportunities to attack without the ball. ”
"In that case, I'll give you a try at the trick I just got from the store system." Wang Meng laughed.
