Chapter 895: Contrast

The starting lineup of the French team is: center Noah, big forward Dior, small forward Petrus, scoring guard Batum, and playmaker Olafur.

It can be seen from this lineup that it was not luck that the French team could win the top five in the World Championships in Japan in 2006, they lacked a Parker in the organizational guard, otherwise it would be a full NBA lineup.

In 2006, the French team did not have Noah and Batum, and if Parker can lead the team this time, the French team has the strength to break into the semi-finals.

The starting lineup of the Chinese team suddenly changed slightly, with center Chamberlain, big forward Wang Zhizhi, small forward Yi Jianlian, and guards Sun Yue and Liu Wei.

This arrangement is mainly due to the fact that the height of the French team is generally relatively tall, except for Olafur, none of them are under two meters, and even Olafur is a big point guard, with a height of one meter 96.

Chamberlain and Noah jumped the ball, the latter was very unconvinced by Chamberlain, although he couldn't take care of himself in the life of being beaten every time they met in the NBA, but Noah had a benefit, that is, he was strong, he was not convinced of Chamberlain's status as the first inside.

Originally, Noah didn't want to participate in the World Championships, and the Bulls signed him up for training at the Olajuwon training camp, but Noah knew that Chamberlain was definitely going to play in the World Championships, and he didn't want to lose to the No. 1 insider, so he responded to the call to enter the French national team.

However, after coming to Turkey, Noah found that he underestimated the heroes of the world, although he was a European, he had been playing in the United States, and spent his college years in the NCAA, receiving an American basketball education, and suffering a lot when he came to the FIBA arena.

So far, Noah is averaging only 7 per game. 6 points, 7 rebounds, he was one of the aces of the new generation of the NBA, and it was not easy to get an average of two doubles per game?

showed him a slap in the face, and he realized that the NBA was not invincible in the world.

However, this time against Chamberlain, Noah became extremely energetic again, and jumped up and down to warm up before the opening, he planned to use Chamberlain to prove his strength.

Noah didn't want to suppress Chamberlain, who is now a pillar in FIBA, averaging 36 points, 16 rebounds, 7 blocks, and three world championship records in three groups, and all he has to do is limit Chamberlain and do what no other interior player has done.

At the beginning of the game, the referee threw the ball up, and Noah jumped up with his legs bent and waved to snatch the ball.

As a result, a figure flew up faster than him, and Chamberlain accurately pointed on the basketball and slapped it to Liu Wei.

After landing on the ground, Chamberlain glanced at Noah and said, "Boy, recognize the reality, you still want to pick up the ball above my head?" ”

The reason why Noah has always been so hostile to Chamberlain is because he feels that this guy is too much and too arrogant.

Like Chamberlain, Noah also entered the NBA in 2007, when he entered the NBA with the glory of the NCAA championship, he was the pride of the University of Florida, and he was waiting to enter the NBA in the Bulls to follow in the footsteps of Joe's gang to create a brilliant life and go to the peak of his career to marry Bai Fumei.

As a result, Chamberlain killed him faster than the comet, directly scared Noah and stole all his limelight, how could Noah endure it?

Liu Wei rushed to the front court to pass the ball, but with a wave of his hand, the pass was wrong, and Batum was very quick and cut off the ball passed by Liu Wei.

Little Nelson's brows suddenly furrowed, and he held back his temper and did not scold Sun Yue.

After Sun Yue entered the NBA, he never got a chance with the Lakers, not because Zen master Jackson didn't give him a chance, but because he couldn't catch it himself, he had a lot of bad habits in the CBA, and passive receiving was one of them.

After Batum steals, he controls the ball and goes to the frontcourt, his style is also a bit similar to Durant, tall and thin, fast, explosive, accurate shooting, good at breaking through, this kind of outside line is very difficult to defend.

Compared to Durant, Batum is not the kind of player who can hit the basket and the restricted area very well, but his body is quite good, and his height and reach are very good from the outside.

In addition, he has good playmaking skills, and during the draft, some people said that he was like his current national team teammate Boris Dior, but his athleticism is even better, and he can contribute a wonderful slam dunk on the fast break, a steady outside three-pointer, and an altruistic pass and assist.

Running forward with the ball, Batum's afterglow kept watching his teammates, the Chinese men's basketball team quickly returned to defense, and Chamberlain immediately followed.

But Batum didn't give them any chance, after rushing to the frontcourt, he saw that the way was blocked by Sun Yue, so he stopped and dribbled under his crotch, Sun Yue and others just breathed a sigh of relief, Batum jumped up suddenly and hit a three-point shot!

Chamberlain also frowned, he passed by Sun Yue after serving, patted him on the back and said: "Stick to him, buddy, stick to his body like a piece of kraft candy, if you can't prevent him, then how to prevent Durant in the finals?" ”

Liu Wei passed the ball to Chamberlain, Noah was dead behind, Petrus had been Chamberlain's teammate, knew his habits, came to the wing as soon as possible, and waited for him to dribble.

Chamberlain passed the ball to Yi Jianlian, who made a jumper, but the ball bounced off the iron, and Dior strode to the basket and grabbed the rebound.

Olafur dribbled the ball outside the three-point range, Dio spun around and ran out inside, took Olafur's pass, rushed to the basket with a sharp step, and then distributed the ball to Petrus, who threw it away.

After the toss hit, Petrus smiled at Chamberlain and said, "Z, don't try to block us today, we unanimously decided that in front of you either don't shoot, if you shoot, it's a throw!" ”

Oxlain smiled, and when he got to the front, he reached for the ball in the penalty area, Noah was in the back, and Petrus was in front, and the two wrapped Oxlade-Chamberlain.

At this time, Chamberlain took a step out, and Noah and Petrus hurriedly converged, but Chamberlain turned abruptly, grabbed the ball with one hand and threw his wrist at the hoop, and gently shook his arm to throw the ball out.

The same throw, the same hit!

Chamberlain looked back and smiled as he ran down, "Then how did you decide to defend my throw?" ”

Relying on the hits of Batum and Petrus, the French team got off to a good start, scoring four points in a row.

As a result, Chamberlain made a layup and an assist for Sun Yue's three-point score, and the Chinese team scored 5 points in a row.

Half a minute later, the offense and defense were converted, Chamberlain helped Liu Wei cover outside the three-point line, the two broke through from the wings, Liu Wei passed the ball to him, Chamberlain made a quick stop jump shot, and scored two points, so that the Chinese team was 7-4 ahead by 3 points.

The French team looked like in the group stage, but today it suddenly seemed to be a drug, and then Petrus broke through the middle to kill the inside, Oxlain went up to make up for the defense, Petrus gave the ball to Noah, who dunked the basket and chased the score to 6-7.

Unfortunately, Batum was still very active, and then Chamberlain turned and missed the hook, and the French team advanced quickly, Batum ran to the outside of the three-point line to receive the ball, and pulled out his hand to hit a 3-pointer, and the French team immediately overtook the score.

9-7, it was the turn of the Chinese team to fall behind.

The scene sounded the rhythmic cheering of Chinese fans, Nelson Jr. got up and called a timeout, he first made personnel adjustments, Wang Zhizhi, Yao Ming, and Chamberlain were liberated to the position of big forward.

The French team's offensive and defensive transitions are very fast, and the offensive speed is also very fast, so Wang Zhizhi is very tired on the field and cannot play his role, but slows down the rhythm of the Chinese team.

Yao Ming is also not known for his speed, but his speed is not a shortcoming, especially in a small venue like FIBA.

In addition, the French team wanted to pull Chamberlain out, so when attacking, they continued to strengthen and break through, tearing the outside of the Chinese team apart.

And once Oxlade-Chamberlain really left the penalty area to defend, the French team immediately passed the ball to attack the inside.

Yao Ming's appearance did greatly relieve the pressure on Chamberlain, on the offensive end, Noah couldn't take care of him, Yao Ming is also a king-level insider, and he is also the kind of big man who has an advantage in height and weight, he is very difficult to fight against Yao Ming.

With Yao Ming's cover, Chamberlain broke through and rushed into the interior to dunk successfully, and the two sides fought to a 9-tie.

After that, Batum was very positive, he broke through to make a layup, Yao Ming hit the iron, the French linemen were ready to grab the rebound, Chamberlain rushed up from behind, grabbed the frontcourt rebound and then waved his arm fiercely, and came to make up for the dunk.

The French team was eager to attack, giving Chamberlain the opportunity to defend, Batum broke through again and hit the inside, Chamberlain followed up from the flank, raised his arm high and slapped the ball out of the court, and came with an imposing hat.

The Chinese men's basketball team relied on the advantage of the inside line and suddenly took the initiative, but Nelson Jr. was very dissatisfied and shouted vigorously on the court: "First VS fourth!" Who is number one? Who's number one?! ”

Chamberlain's face was really ugly, he discussed a few words with Yao Ming in a low voice, and then shouted in Mandarin: "Play the inside line, specifically play the inside line!" When defending, the outside line presses, and the inside line combines defense, jamming them! ”

This move really worked, after the start of the game, Chamberlain cut into the basket sideways, Yao Ming passed the ball to him in time, and Chamberlain rushed in with lightning speed and came up with a violent dunk.

Then, Batum's breakthrough was closely guarded by Sun Yue, the referee blew him a walking violation, the Chinese team took back the ball, this time it was still Chamberlain's main attack, but he came back to a horse pistol, and after breaking through with the ball, he turned around abruptly, Dio followed and ran out, Chamberlain turned around and made a layup around Dior.

Not only that, but the defensive quality of the Chinese team also came up all of a sudden, and Yi Jianlian stuck to Batum to make his ball control very uncomfortable, constantly compressing his movement space.

Batum was a little angry, and when he went to the basket, he subconsciously raised his elbow and put it on Sun Yue's face, and the referee's eyes kept staring at it, and immediately gave him an offensive foul, and the Chinese team won the ball again.

In this way, relying on a round of 10-0 attack waves, the Chinese team led by 10 points at 21-11 with 2 minutes and 15 seconds left in the first quarter, completely stopping the French team.

After the pause, Petrus made a foul on Yi Jianlian, and he just chased 1 point with two free throws, but immediately after, after that, the Chinese men's basketball team attacked, Chamberlain scored a violent dunk under the basket, and then the two sides missed several times, so that after the first quarter, the Chinese team led the French men's basketball team by double digits at 23-12.

In the first quarter, Chamberlain scored 17 points alone, vividly interpreting his domineering king, compared to Noah, like a Cinderella, gray head and gray brain!

In the second quarter, the French team began to counterattack, still attacking from the outside, Batum played tougher this time, and after a continuous change of direction, he put away the ball and rushed directly to the inside, quite a bit of heroism with an explosive bag to blow up the bunker.

As a result, Chamberlain, who was killed in the air, turned him from a hero to a bear, and Chamberlain slapped the ball on the ball, and at the same time slapped Batum to the ground by the way, which was very wolf.

The Chinese men's basketball team's attack was more ferocious, and with this block, Guo Allen ran with the ball and rushed to the front court to make a layup, and the French team had the previous problems and became lazy again.

In this way, the Chinese men's basketball team played a round of 6-0 attack wave at the beginning of the second quarter, and they took an absolute lead 29-14.

Seeing this, Nelson Jr. replaced Yao Ming and let Chamberlain and Yi Jianlian take the outside line to fight the world.

After all, the French team is more powerful on the outside, Petrus and Batum each hit a 3-pointer, and the French team played a wave of 9-2 counterattack climax, narrowing the gap to 8 points at once.

Chamberlain led the team to counterattack, he first hit a jump shot, and then hit Noah under the basket to cause the latter to foul, and hit both free throws, after which Dior's fast break was blocked by Chamberlain, which boosted the morale of the Chinese team.

Yi Jianlian's feeling on the offensive end began to recover, he and Chamberlain teamed up to score 9 points, and the Chinese team slowly pulled the score advantage to Hu, so that after halftime, the chaotic French team trailed the Chinese men's basketball team by 15 points at 27-42.
