Chapter 313: Hurricane All the Way (1)
After a good day of rest, the Chinese men's basketball team ushered in August 14, and the third round of the Olympic men's basketball competition began.
The first to start is the Spanish team and the German team in the same group as the Dragons, both of which are European powerhouses, and they have played each other many times in the past, and they are rivals in history, and the depth of the squad is considerable, and this game is also seen as a bloody battle of equal strength.
But the result was beyond everyone's expectations, just as the Dragons defeated and defeated Spain by a large margin, this time the German team also suffered a heavy defeat.
The starting lineup of both sides is that the Spanish team sent center Pau Gasol, power forward Philippe Reyes, small forward Rudy Fernandez, scoring guard Bernie Rodriguez, and playmaking guard Raul López, which is not much different from the lineup in the previous game against the Dragons.
From this point, we can see some shortcomings of the Spanish coaching staff, that is, they are relatively rigid in employing personnel, and their team can play such a good record, mainly relying on strong players. Garcia is a famous coach in Europe, but he likes to play the main force too much, once he is recognized as a starter, as long as he is not too brainless, he can play the game with peace of mind, which is not much different from the iron rice bowl.
The German team also has a strong lineup, with center Chris Kaman, power forward Dirk Nowitzki, small forward Sven Schulz, scoring guard Diamond Green, and playmaking guard Stefan Hamann.
As a result, Spain easily defeated Germany 72-59, who had poor firepower and were in a state of suppression throughout the game, leaving the German fans with no face.
The Spanish side played very fiercely after the opening, and paid attention to cooperation, and in the last game with the Dragons team played and lost the game and lost the game, the proud matadors couldn't stand it, so they took the hapless German team to attack. They played very hard in this game, and the players did not score highly, Pau Gasol scored 13 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists, Calderon scored 15 points, Mburu scored 14 points, and Calderon's 15 points were already the highest score of the game.
Nowitzki had a poor performance on the German side with 11 points, five rebounds and one assist, while Carman contributed eight points and 10 rebounds, and Harman scored a team-high 15 points.
The Spanish team had the initiative on the pitch from the first second, and in the words of Sports Weekly, it was the Spaniards who were leading the Germans by the nose.
In the second game, Australia defeated Iran 106-68 to claim their first Olympic victory, and now have a record of 1-2.
The Rockets' 2007 second-round rookie Brand-Newley had a game-high 24 points on 10-of-15 shooting, including 3-of-7 three-pointers. Former NBA champion and Australia's number one player, Bogut, contributed 13 points. Iran continued to play the role of number one fish, losing all three of their group stage games and losing embarrassingly. High school forward Haddadi had 15 points and eight rebounds, and Nick Ha contributed 23 points.
The third game is the highlight, the Chinese men's basketball team played, this time their opponent is the Angolan team, the worst of the twelve men's basketball teams in the Olympic Games, and Iran is called the Olympic Pisces belly, before Chamberlain did not express his position to participate in the Olympic Games, this is the only opponent of the Chinese team who can win safely.
The starting lineup of the Chinese team is center Chamberlain, power forward Wang Zhizhi, small forward Yi Jianlian, organizational guard Liu Wei, and scoring guard Sun Yue.
Taking advantage of the weakness of the opponent, Nelson Jr. began to practice, and tried to use different lineups, Yao Ming sat on the bench, but the former men's basketball team's number one brother was so happy, he knew the reason, Nelson Jr. wanted to save his physical strength at all costs, because the more he went on, the less opportunities he had to rest, and there were too many hard battles.
The Angolan starting line-up is Armando Costa, Mores, Lionel Paulo, Gomez, Mingas.
Gomez has been an absolute mainstay for Angola since his international debut in 1999, and now plays for Primero August in the Angolan domestic league, where he has participated in all of Angola's world competitions, such as the 2004 Athens Olympics and the 2006 World Championships in Japan, where he led the national team to 12th and 9th place respectively, and last year he helped the national team win the African Championship as the tournament's Most Valuable Player.
In this game, Nelson Jr. made it very clear that it was to run in the team and train new tactics, so Yi Jianlian was the first to compete for the ball at the beginning, but the latter was also very powerful and lived up to expectations to help the Chinese team take the lead in getting the ball.
The first attack of the Chinese team, Chamberlain did not participate in the singles, he is an absolute pillar of optimus on the inside, Angola does not have an inside line in the strict sense, the ace of the inside line is Eduardo Mingas, known as the trumpet Brand, very athletic, with gorgeous floor flow skills, is a kaleidoscope of attacks in the restricted area. However, Mingas is only 200cm tall, and the reason why Chamberlain is embarrassed to jump up to the ball is that he feels a bit of a bully.
However, Angola is the champion of Africa after all, and theoretically speaking, they are in the same vein as their black brothers in the United States, Jordan, Olajuwon, and Kobe Bryant are all their compatriots, but the latter grew up eating steak and fried chicken legs, and they grew up eating grass.
Angolan players are not useless, their sports are very good, their arm span is very ****, the defense is tough, in the past against the Chinese team, even if the Chinese men's basketball team can win, it will win very thrilling.
Chamberlain covered Liu Wei in the high post, he broke through with the ball and gave the ball to Sun Yue outside the three-point line, and after getting the ball, he hit a three-pointer on the outside with a false shot, helping the Chinese team to start a good omen. The Angolan team attacked, Gomez presided, he was very accurate in three points, and also responded with a three-pointer, but the opening hand was not very hot, and the iron was hit, and Chamberlain undoubtedly picked up the rebound.
The Chinese team organized an attack again, it was still Sun Yue who shot, he once again hit a 3-point shot in the bottom corner of the left wing, the Chinese team opened with a 6-0 lead, Sun Yue's consecutive three-point hits ignited the first passion of the fans in this game, and everyone shouted the nickname of 'Sun Dasheng' and stood up with cheers.
No one noticed that in the middle of the stands, two slim girls were watching the game intently.
"Hey, Sun Yue played well today, did he know that you came to the scene and deliberately demonstrated?"
"Don't talk nonsense, it seems like I got rid of him, he was already very good, but his body is too thin, and the opponent is now bent on Z, so he gave him a chance, and now he hits two three-pointers in a row, I'm afraid there will be no chance later, and the Angolans will put pressure on him."
“Z? Your name is full of affection, say, dead girl, are you empathetic and don't fall in love? ”
"Is it good for everyone to call him Z, hey, you watch the game seriously, it's obvious that you pulled me to watch the game, why did you start gossiping again? But I don't think you're here to see the game, but like you're here to see Z, right? ”
"Get out! Beware of the old lady you! ”
The game was in a tense manner, Mingas pulled out of the penalty area to cooperate with Gomez, Yi Jianlian's attitude was very positive, and he immediately defended it when he saw this, Mingas was really good, in the face of Yi Jianlian's defense, he did two crotch dribbles after holding the ball, and suddenly jumped out of his hand, and hit Yi Jianlian by surprise and scored two points.
Maybe because of the strength, the game has been tepid, the offensive efficiency of the two teams is very poor, Chamberlain is dedicated to covering his teammates, almost no shots on the inside, but grabbed several rebounds, and it is the front court and the backcourt, and the Angolan inside line is desperate - can't grab the rebound.
There are 8 minutes left in this section of the game, Angola's offense failed, and the Chinese men's basketball team fought back, probably because of the weak strength of the opponent, the efficiency of the Dragon Team was not high, Sun Yue asked for the ball to play alone, Gomez personally went up to defend him, and as Gu Chen said, he strengthened his defense.
Gomez was physically strong, and although he was about the same height as Sun Yue, he weighed more than twenty pounds, and he pressed Sun Yue, who barely made a move and ended up striking iron. Chamberlain jumped up with a 'whoosh', and after grabbing the rebound, he finally got impatient, turned around and roared, and simply slammed the dunk, and the Chinese team 8-2 Angola.
Gomez's continuous attack failed, Angola couldn't break the scoring drought, and Mingas could only stand up and preside over the attack, but as a result, as soon as he turned around, Chamberlain, who was defending him, directly gave him a big hat, Yi Jianlian frowned, a little distressed, why is his defensive efficiency so low?
The Chinese team continued to expand the results, Chamberlain presided over the inside attack, he singled Mingas to use his physical advantage to hook up under the basket, the latter could not block at all, and watched the ball fall into the hoop, and then Chamberlain shot again, this time he made a jump shot in the middle, and hit again, so that the Chinese team played an unprecedented hot start, and led 14-2.
Angola played very patiently, not in a hurry, how to play or how to play, Gomez was still shooting from the outside, and finally his hand began to recover, shooting outside the three-point line, but immediately, Yi Jianlian successfully played three points on the inside, and the game had nothing to do with Wang Zhizhi, he simply played soy sauce, but took the opportunity to prove his presence with a three-point on the outside.
Chamberlain, on the other hand, scored four points in a row on the inside, giving the Chinese team a 24-8 lead.
The Angolan team's outside line finally blossomed, and Mores hit a 3-point shot from a 45-degree angle on the left wing, and the Chinese team 24-11 Angola team. Before the end of the quarter, Chamberlain presided over the last shot, Mingas and Mores went up to the bag to cause a foul, Chamberlain made two free throws to add two more points, and the Chinese team ended the first quarter with a 28-15 lead.
At the start of the second quarter, Armando Costa hit a jumper at the beginning of the game, and Angola fell behind China 17-28, and Gomez began to lead the team to counterattack.
Coming off the bench, Wang Shipeng then hit a shot from outside the three-point line to help the Dragons maintain an absolute lead, and then Gomez hit the box and caused a defensive foul on Wang Zhizhi, who hit both free throws.
The Chinese team organized an attack, Wang Shipeng hit the ground and passed the ball to Yi Jianlian, Yi Jianlian's high-quality physical fitness was displayed at this moment, he took off directly from the free throw area, and after gliding, he scored a one-handed dunk, and the Chinese team led 33-19.
The weakness of the opponent made Chamberlain play without passion, he is the kind of person who is stronger the opponent, the stronger he is, the potential needs to be stimulated by the opponent, Nelson Jr. replaced him, Yao Ming appeared on the field, because the fans began to chant 'Yao Ming', but many of them came to the scene to watch Yao Ming's game.
Chamberlain off the court, the defensive quality of the Dragons team immediately dropped, Yao Ming also has deterrence, but his co-defense and supplementary defense and Chamberlain are not at the same level, the rest of the first half of the quarter Angola team strengthened the breakthrough, the inside attack improved, Mingas hook shot, Angola narrowed the score gap to 10 points, China led Angola 37-27.
However, Yao Ming has an absolute advantage in the restricted area after all, and he returned the color with a one-handed dunk with Liu Wei's assist. But Mingas and Luis Costa teamed up to play a wave of 9-0, and the Angolan team narrowed the score to 36-39.
Although Yao Ming has always been low-key, it is obvious that he is also a proud person, he is humble, and even willing to give up the dominance of the men's basketball team to Chamberlain. However, he didn't allow the fans to underestimate them, and he couldn't make the fans feel that the Chinese team couldn't do without Chamberlain but without Yao Ming.
Then he attacked on the inside and played a 2+1 to help China maintain the lead against Angola 42-36. Jerónimo shot a three-point shot in an empty position, Yao Ming insisted on the ball, he turned around and hit a step-back jumper in the face of the bag clamp on the left side, and then Yao Ming took out real kung fu, Mingas singled him, and made a quick shot after a few consecutive feints, but Yao Ming was waiting for him, and directly slapped his layup.
However, before the end of the quarter, Mingas hit a three-pointer at the buzzer, and Angola chased the score to 39-44.
At the end of the half-time match, Angola played well, while the Dragons did not perform well and fell into a proud mouth.
