The world basketball world is reshuffled, and the Dragons awaken in the East - "New York Basketball"

Missed the main team and regretted the defeat, the fans don't cry, we still have a chance - "Athens Daily"

In the final quarter of the game between the Chinese team and the Greek team, the Chinese men's basketball team firmly grasped the rhythm, and the Greek team repeatedly attacked in the hope of stealing the initiative, but Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian crushed their ambitions with steady scores.

Chamberlain rested for eight minutes and returned to the court in the last four minutes, and his appearance on the court heralded the early end of the game, while the Chinese men's basketball team still maintained a double-digit advantage.

The shouts of the Chinese fans at the scene turned into a sentence: "The Chinese team, rise up!" Dragons, rise up! ”

At the end of the game, the Chinese team defeated the top European team Greece by 18 points 104-86, completing the pre-game promise: We not only want to win, but also win beautifully.

After 24 years, the Chinese team finally won the Greek team again, and Asian basketball is finally ahead of Europe again!

So it was logical that the next day's news broadcast showed the men's basketball team again.

And rightfully so, while the World Championships in Turkey may not be the most successful in the history of the FIBA World Championships, the attention it has received is unprecedented.

The first round of matches started on the 28th, and the World Championships were different from other events, they were played in a row in one day, and sometimes even several stadiums started at the same time.

According to TV ratings, the World Championships in Turkey attracted 1 billion fans from nearly 200 countries around the world, surpassing the 2006 World Championships in Japan and the 2009 European Championships in Poland combined.

Especially during the match between the Chinese team and the Greek team, this event received the attention of more than 100 million fans!

This is an incomparably large number, which has never been seen in the World Championships, even if it is the invincible division dream team, has never set such a record.

Ahead of Greece's match against China, FIBA's official website had 30 million visitors, FIBA's Facebook page had more than 100,000 followers, and the number of people following FIBA's official Twitter account had doubled.

In an interview after the first round of matches, Bowman, executive vice president of world basketball, said: "The success of this World Championship is not only about a higher level of competition, but also about a fairer game, and we are strictly implementing anti-doping regulations to ensure that basketball is cleaner than ever. During the World Championships, we randomly selected 100 players for drug testing, and all of them came back negative. ”

Chamberlain was one of the players who was sampled, in fact, he was not drawn immediately, because the physical elements he showed were too strong and incredible, and if people were not familiar with it, there was no other possibility than to think that he had taken a lot of doping.

Just when the news broadcast about the Chinese men's basketball team's victory over the Greek men's basketball team, at the same place, the Chinese team was ready to play again.

The schedule of the World Championships is much tighter than that of the NBA, winning Greece on the 28th, and on the 29th, the Chinese men's basketball team met Ivory Coast.

The Chinese men's basketball team has only played against Ivory Coast twice in history, and as an unknown team in Africa, the Chinese team defeated Ivory Coast 91-77 in the rematch at the 1982 World Championships.

Then at the World Championships in '86, China won again 84-72 and won the crucial battle to advance to the second stage. It is worth noting that Ivory Coast participated in the World Championships three times in total, and in the end they met the Chinese team.

Group C is the worst of the four groups, and Ivory Coast can almost be said to be the worst team in Group C.

The result of this game was revealed long before the game, and Ivory Coast has no chance of winning, what will they take against the Chinese men's basketball team with Chamberlain, Yao Ming, and Yi Jianlian?

Compared to the men's football team, which has famous stars such as Didier Drogba, the Ivory Coast men's basketball team is much less well-known.

In the FIBA rankings, the team is only ranked 40th, and even among all African teams, it can only be ranked sixth.

The last time the team participated in the World Championships was back in 1986, and it can be regarded as a rookie in this competition. And in the 186 World Championships, the Chinese men's basketball team also abused this team.

Of course, this does not become a reason for the Chinese men's basketball team to despise the opponent, after all, the opponent also successfully qualified as the runner-up of the African Championship this time.

In the quarter-finals of the African Championships, Ivory Coast beat Nigeria and then eliminated Cameroon in the semi-finals, and although the team lost to traditional giants Angola by 10 points in the final, it was enough to secure qualification for the World Championships.

The Ivory Coast squad includes five players who have played in the NCAA league, as well as Ramizana, who played for Tianjin Ronggang last season.

Their central player is Hervé Ramizana, who is 2 tall. The 07-meter forward played for Rutgers University and wore the Tianjin Ronggang jersey last season, averaging 25 per game. 7 points 9. 9 rebounds.

There are also a few good main players:

Bryce Asye, he is 2 tall. 01m, who played in the Argentine league last season, averaging more than 20 points per game, played for Connecticut State University in the western United States.

Centre forward Jonathan Kyle, who is two metres tall and also played for Universidad Valpaso, averaged seven per game in the Turkish league last season. 7 points and 6 rebounds.

Striker Jonathan Kyle played in the German league last season, averaging 11 per game. With 9 points and 7 rebounds, he played at Providence College.

Shooting guard Ismael Ndiaye, who played at Florida International University and participated in the 2007 NBA Draft, was unfortunately not selected, and he can be considered a classmate of Chamberlain.

With an average height of 1.95 meters, Ivory Coast is the shortest team in this World Championships, and basketball is a giant sport after all, and from this point of view, they have a fatal flaw.

In this game, Nelson Jr. still sent the same starting lineup as before, Chamberlain + Yi Jianlian + Zhu Fangyu + Liu Wei + Sun Yue.

The starting lineup for Ivory Coast is No. 9 center Jonathan Kyle, No. 15 power forward Hervay Ramizana, No. 8 small forward Jonathan Kyle, No. 5 shooting guard Ismael Ndiaye, and No. 14 Guy Eddy.

The jump ball was played between Chamberlain and Kyle, and from the point of view of strength, it was an unfair game, and Kyle was far from being Chamberlain's opponent, but this big black man had an excellent body, and his bounce and arm span turned out to be one of the strongest opponents Chamberlain had ever encountered.

Chamberlain underestimated his opponent a little bit, and took off a little slower, but Kyle played the ball to point guard Eddie.

As soon as the game started, Eddie controlled the ball steadily and passed the half, and passed the ball to the core Ramizana, his strength was average, Liu Wei finally found an opponent in the same position who could crush, Eddie has been scanning Ramizana, Liu Wei knows what he intends to do.

So the moment Eddie passed the ball, Liu Wei took half a step back, jumped up and broke the ball.

The Chinese men's basketball team immediately began to fast forward, Chamberlain galloped forward like a horse, and Liu Wei ran past the midcourt and threw his arms to pass the ball.

After receiving the ball, Chamberlain took three steps, held the ball above his head with both hands, and jumped up diagonally to dunk.

As a result, at this moment, a figure followed from behind, and his big hand fiercely pressed on the ball in his hand, and he actually pressed the ball down!

Chamberlain was taken aback, and the whole Chinese men's basketball team was taken aback.

You must know that Chamberlain's body is excellent, Liu Wei and others are clear, and now someone can keep up with him and give him a big hat, this is the opening big hat, Cap Chamberlain who wants to dunk!

Chamberlain turned around in astonishment when he landed, and saw a strong black man with a cold face, who was Kyle, who had won him by jumping the ball before.

Little Nelson was not satisfied, he stood up and yelled at Chamberlain: "The lion fights the rabbit, and with all his strength, you bastards, do you think the opponent is a rabbit to be slaughtered?!" Damn it, give me all your power! ”

Chamberlain cheered up, and the Chinese team put away their thoughts of underestimating their opponents and became serious.

In this case, there is little hope for Côte d'Ivoire.

Ivory Coast got off to a good start, with shooting guard Ndiaye opening the door from beyond the three-point line and scoring a three-pointer, but the Chinese counterattack came as Chamberlain shook off Kyle with nimble footwork on the inside and turned for a layup.

Kyle's body is very good, with good bounces, fast bounces, and fast movements, so when he jumped the ball and Chamberlain fast-break, he didn't have the upper hand before.

However, in contrast, Kyle has a fatal flaw, he came into contact with basketball too late, his basic skills are too poor, and because he did not go to school, his basketball IQ is really limited, and Chamberlain can use feints to shake him lightly.

Then, Sun Yue broke through and scored a three-pointer to help China take a 5-3 lead, and a round later, Chamberlain scored again inside and caused Kyle to foul, but the opponent scored consecutive outside shots to overtake the score.

The Chinese men's basketball team strengthened the efforts to feed Chamberlain, under the leadership of Chamberlain, they attacked several times and succeeded, and Kyle couldn't prevent him at all, because Chamberlain did not eat him, but constantly used footsteps and feints to shake him, or else to attract the bag and then respond to the pass.

Looking at the struggling Kyle, Nelson Jr. shook his head regretfully, this is a good seedling, but unfortunately it has been ruined, if it could have been met ten years ago, the current NBA may not really have a successor to Olajuwon.

With five minutes left in the first quarter, Nelson Jr. called a timeout and replaced Chamberlain with Yao Ming.

After a pause, Yi Jianlian made a two-handed dunk directly from the right baseline after a breakthrough, and then hit a jumper near the free throw line to help China take a 24-15 lead.

After that, Yao Ming stepped back and made a jumper, Wang Shipeng scored a three-point shot on the left side, and Sun Yue hit a layup, and finally the first quarter ended, and China led Ivory Coast 35-17 directly to 18 points.

In the second quarter of the game, Ivory Coast set off a counterattack, Abouwo scored 5 points in a row inside and outside, Ndiaye hit a three-point shot from the outside, and Ivory Coast scored 8 points in a row.

Nelson Jr. called a timeout, Wang Zhizhi came off the bench, as soon as he got on the court, he came to a turn and made a layup, Liu Wei made a jumper on the right side, and China still had an absolute advantage ahead of the opponent.

Yao Ming's strong attack inside caused the opponent to foul, and then hit both free throws, but the men's basketball team's frontcourt protection and defense fast attack did not do well, so the score gap between the two sides has not been widened.

Côte d'Ivoire used their mobility to fight guerrilla warfare with the Chinese team, and the latter even fell into their rhythm.

At the critical moment, Wang Shipeng and Ding Jinhui hit three-pointers in a row to help China stabilize the rhythm, and at this time, Ivory Coast actually chased the score gap to 10 points!

At halftime, China took a 13-point lead at 51-38.

At the beginning of the second half of the game, Chamberlain and Yao Ming both sat on the bench, Wang Shipeng first hit a three-pointer on the left side, and then scored his 17th personal 17th on both free throws, and the 17 points also tied Wang Shipeng's World Championships personal scoring record.

After that, Cohen hit a three-point shot from the left baseline, and Yi Jianlian hit consecutive hook shots on the inside, and the Chinese men's basketball team also led the opponent by 21 points.

Then Kyle made a strong dunk under the basket to make it 2+1, Liu Wei broke through the board to score, Diabet hit a three-point shot, and Wang Shipeng immediately scored his 20th point with a three-point shot on the left side.

In the last 1 minute and 44 seconds, Yi Jianlian quickly inserted into the basket and scored his 21st point with both hands after receiving the top of the arc, and the Chinese men's basketball team continued to expand its lead.

At the end of the third quarter, the Chinese men's basketball team led the opponent by 20 points 82-62, of which Wang Shipeng scored 20 points and the United Arab Emirates scored 21 points.

In the last quarter of the game, the suspense was gone, and this time even Yi Jianlian was out of the game, and the Chinese team played with the opponent completely in the second line.

Cornet made a layup first, Ding Jinhui returned a two-handed dunk, Eddie hit a three-point shot on the right side, and Zhou Peng made a layup, and the gap between the two sides did not narrow.

With 6 minutes and 10 seconds left, Ding Jinhui missed a three-point shot on the right side, Wang Shipeng scored a basket, and Cohen hit a three-point shot to successfully chase the score gap to 15 points.

At 5 minutes and 25 seconds, Sun Yue, who came off the bench, dunked his hands again, but Ivory Coast's offensive firepower was very strong, and he hit two consecutive three-point shots.

When the opponent narrowed the score to 10 points, Liu Wei broke through to make a layup to stabilize the situation.

In the final period, Diabet hit a three-point shot from the left to narrow the score to 8 points, but Zhou Peng immediately made a jumper to extend the advantage to 10 points. With 1 minute and 11 seconds left, Diabet hit a three-point shot at the top of the arc to narrow the score to 7 points, and Zhu Fangyu's two consecutive three-pointers sealed the victory.

In the end, China defeated Ivory Coast 103-93 for its second victory.

Although they won, the Chinese team exposed a huge problem~!
