When the final whistle blew, Puerto Rico breathed a sigh of relief that the game was finally over, and the nightmare was over!

The Chinese men's basketball team defeated Puerto Rico by 22 points 104-82, although this is not a victory with a particularly large score gap, but anyone who has watched the game can see that the Chinese team has an absolute advantage.

And the hero of the Chinese men's basketball team is naturally Chamberlain - 18 of 24 shots, scoring 50 points in the game! And 18 rebounds! And 8 more caps!

Chamberlain broke four records in this battle, one is a personal scoring record, the previous was Anthony's 35 points against Anthony at the 2006 World Championships, and he immediately improved this record by 15 points, and it is estimated that no one will be able to challenge this record except himself.

In addition, his 18 rebounds were also a personal rebounding record, compared to Sabonis's previous record of 15 rebounds.

Chamberlain's rebounding record is actually two, because 10 of those 18 rebounds were offensive rebounds, and he broke the previous record of eight frontcourt rebounds held by Garnett.

The last record is the block record, which was also held by Garnett......

In this way, according to the rules of the Men's Basketball World Championships, a win in the group stage is worth 2 points, and a loss is worth 1 point.

The Chinese team's three-game winning streak and the big victory against Puerto Rico shocked the spirits of Chinese fans, and the "Capital Sports Daily" used the title of "Dragon Team Soaring Again" to slap those fans who questioned the strength of the men's basketball team.

As a matter of course, the Chinese men's basketball team returned to CCTV news broadcast, although it only showed its face, but it also means that the mainstream voice in China once again recognized that they are a division of kings.

The Chinese team's combat effectiveness, cohesion and spirit in these three games are worthy of recognition, and not long ago overseas training, because of the loss of three games, the Chinese media will continue to lose the spearhead of the finger at Nielsen Jr.

Previously, these people thought that the American's coaching ability was far inferior to Younas, the former coach of the Chinese team and known as the "Caesar of Europe". Little Nelson laughed at this.

And against Greece, Ivory Coast and especially Puerto Rico, Nelson's team gave the doubters a resounding slap in the face with an excellent performance.

As can be seen from the World Championships, Nelson's transformation of the Chinese team has begun to bear fruit, and his coaching style is elusive.

In previous international competitions, the coach of the Chinese team always used his most trusted lineup for the sake of results, and the rotation of substitute players was not frequent.

Nelson Jr., on the other hand, is not the norm and dares to bring in young players in key moments, because he knows that this is the time period that best trains young players. As a result, Yu Shulong and Guo Allen, two post-90s youngsters, got playing time in both games, which finally allowed the outside line to dribble the ball through the half in the second half.

On the whole, Nelson Jr. is still very far-sighted and responsible, he did not set goals for the team in this men's basketball World Championships, Chamberlain and Yao Ming both said that they must win the gold medal, only he smiled.

Before the game, the pressure was all on him. And now? He is honing the mental qualities of his players.

Nelson Jr. is different from all coaches in history, he knows that Chamberlain is a person who can change the times, and any coach with a player like Chamberlain can create a historical record, such as Nelson Sr., two consecutive championships!

Nelson Jr. knew that he didn't have the luck of his father, and he couldn't have left anything in the history of the NBA, because the old man didn't plan to let him succeed the Warriors at all.

In this way, Nelson Jr. has set his sights on the Chinese men's national basketball team, and he wants to build this team into a super team comparable to the Dream Team, and the glory of the Dragon Team will be able to shine for thousands of years!

No one doubts Nelson's coaching ability now, and he is leading the Chinese team on the right track.

After the game, entering the locker room, Nelson Jr. asked the fans to sit down first, he bowed directly, Chamberlain, Yao Ming and others were taken aback, and hurriedly stood up.

"BOSS, ARE YOU JERKING OFF? Damn, hurry, hurry, what to do? Yao, how? Pinch people, huh? ”

"Coach Nelson, what's wrong with you, do you have back pain? Come, my old Wang will take it for you, when I was in the army military training, I had a massage with the old army. ”

"Coach, don't scare us, what do you mean? Tuogu? ”

"Don't talk nonsense, the coach will definitely take us to win the gold medal, hold a **!"

Although little Nelson couldn't understand the Mandarin of these people, he still laughed and said, "No, boys, I thank you!" Thank you for working so hard today to give me the opportunity to make a name for myself. ”

Liu Wei and Sun Yue glanced at each other as a guard, and laughed in unison, it's a bit embarrassing to say, his grandmother's, these guards don't work hard enough.

Little Nelson didn't care, he motioned for everyone to sit down, then pulled over a blackboard and wrote a large line of words on it with chalk: We, to shock the world!

"It's not my ambition, it's not my talk, my boys! By now you should be aware that we have what it takes to win the championship! Not only are we going to win the gold medal this year, but in two years' time, in London, we're going to win the gold medal! ”

"Shock the world, it's not enough to win a gold medal, we want to win two or three times in a row, and build a dynasty like a dream team! What do the fans outside call us? Dragons! I didn't understand the meaning of the name before, but then I consulted with an expert in the Chinese language to find out what kind of hopes the fans had for us! ”

"Since our team is a dragon, then we must soar into the sky like a real fire dragon! Swallow mountains and rivers! ”

This game really made the men's basketball team a shame, and the glory of three consecutive wins finally made them recognized by everyone.

"People's Daily" deliberately opened up a 'sports section', and the first issue was reported with the title of 'Say thank you to the Dragon Team'.

The article reads:

"For China's three balls, our media is always full of radicalism and helplessness. Either it's obsessed with a certain game, or it's a repeated sigh for the system. Winning a game that is difficult to win seems to be fearless to the world, and losing a ball that should not be lost seems to be falling into the abyss, which is really very people-oriented.

I've been watching basketball since I was about 12 years old, and I didn't miss a single broadcast of the Shanghai men's basketball team in those seasons when I had a chance to compete for the championship after the Shanghai team had Yao Ming. Like most fans, I met Yao Ming and Liu Wei from TV.

At that time, I was almost 20 years old, and Yao and Liu were the same age as me, which was the age when I could have many wonderful dreams. Later, Yao Ming went to the NBA, and Liu Wei stayed in China, and in a flash, it had been ten years.

30 years old is just starting out for a TV person, but for a professional basketball player, he has been a "veteran".

This feeling is very clear when watching the game, when I was a child, those players born around 80 years were uniformly called "young players", and now, the title "young general" is only used to describe the "post-90s".

It's cruel.

They choose a short-lived career that may make more money than others, but at a terrible cost.

Yao Ming, he is almost a totem, as long as he returns to his hometown, he will lose his freedom. Liu Wei, every time he sees him, he is very energetic, but as soon as he sits down and chats, he can easily find the pain in every joint on his body.

Not to mention Chamberlain.

We only see Chamberlain's infinite scenery on the field, only see him dominant, vertical and horizontal, leading this team to kill the enemy to change color, and killing the sun and moon on the field.

But who knows how much Chamberlain paid for it? I once had the privilege of working with his girlfriend, Ms. Li Qun, for a while, and Li Qun always worked overtime until 11 or 2 o'clock before returning home, and I was surprised at the time and jokingly asked her if she had a conflict with her little husband.

I still remember Li Qun's helpless smile, she said that her little husband is still in the training hall, and if there is a game, then he will play until twelve o'clock, and if there is no game, Chamberlain will have to practice himself in the training hall until twelve o'clock!

When we easily hide behind the TV and comment on their watches without pressure, how many of us put ourselves in their shoes to feel what they feel - against tough opponents on the field, against cold equipment off the field.

Probably not many people really love what they do, at least when they talk about it, they complain about their long hours, high intensity and low pay.

In fact, in the end, basketball is just a job, but once this job is associated with the so-called national honor and the saliva of fans, the nature of the work changes.

Normally, we only need to be responsible for our own leaders, but what about the Dragons? They have hundreds of millions of leaders, and anyone can scold the street when they are unhappy, to be honest, I don't do such a job, no matter how much salary I am paid.

But they had to do it, because no one could do it but them.

None of the scolding fans, the questioning media, and the leaders who put on a leadership role were able to change into their jerseys and stand on the field of the World Championships.

won Puerto Rico in the last game, and a reporter asked Liu Wei, what do you think of your watch that did not drop the chain this time? As a result, little Nelson, who has always shown himself as a handsome person, scolded, and he said "get-off-your-ass", which is almost "you *** shut up your stinky mouth".

We know that in this national team, Liu Wei's average playing time is the longest - there are Chamberlain, Yao Ming, Wang Zhizhi and Yi Jianlian on the inside, who can reliably rotate, to be honest, who can control the ball better in addition to Liu Wei on the outside?

A man took all the responsibility he could take in his own name, only to receive a bunch of brainless scolding.

This is a generation of basketball people who are destined to be on top of the world, but they have never neglected their work. At the end of the day, they are just like you and me, and in that case, the first thing to give should be respect, to say thank you for their hard work, not to open your mouth and "apologize". ”

The hard work finally paid off, but the Chinese men's basketball team did not dare to slack off, the fourth battle began immediately, their opponent was a behemoth left after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Russian men's basketball team!

The image of this year's Russian men's basketball team is better summed up with two key words.

The first key word is: great power recovery.

The predecessor of the Russian men's basketball team was the former Soviet men's basketball team, which had a prominent record in the World Championships, but after the collapse of the Soviet Union, that is, since the 1994 World Championships, Russia's best record in the World Championships was to finish second in consecutive World Championships in 1994 and 1998.

After 10 consecutive top-three finishes, the team is on a downward spiral.

At the 2001 European Championships, Russia survived the danger to qualify for the last European zone at the '02 World Championships, and finally finished tenth.

At the European Championships in '05, they carelessly lost Jingzhou and lost the opportunity to travel to Tokyo, Japan.

However, in 07, the tactics of the Russian Tongguò team with Kirilenko as the core slashed Spain and dominated Europe when it was not favored.

This great country, which once dominated the history of the World Championships, is waiting to rise!
