Chapter 302: Lesson (2)

The huge Wukesong Stadium was once again full, this time countless fans wore red jerseys and sat together, many young people's faces were painted red with oil paint, and golden five-pointed stars were painted on their foreheads or cheeks.

This game is not simply a basketball game between the two countries, but a dialogue between the two races, the turmoil caused by the racial discrimination incident of the Spanish men's basketball team has not yet fallen, and Chamberlain and Yao Ming's remarks about wanting to overturn the Spanish men's basketball team have also aroused the hatred of some fans in Europe.

The Spanish team took the lead, and fierce boos rang out in the Wukesong Stadium, some excited fans smashed the empty mineral water bottles in their hands, and some fans prepared the horn in advance, and began to shout and curse after gagging their mouths:

"Go back to your Europe, grandson of Spain, don't you despise the East? What are you doing in China? ”

"Brother Gasol, don't pretend to be forced here, your mother told you two to go home for dinner!"

"Fernandez, protect your little neck, SUPER-Z is a bad uncle, be careful that he breaks your little neck!"

When the Chinese team played, it was different, the audience gave a standing ovation, and a promotional film made by the Basketball Association was played on the big screen, and each player was combined with a dragon name according to the style, and the huge subordination words of the 'Dragon Team' appeared on the big screen.

The two teams rarely did not have a pre-game exchange, which is not normal, it is clear with reference to the previous practice of the dream team, at that time, Kobe, James and others came over to joke with Chamberlain and Yao Ming for a long time, and the Spanish men's basketball team and the Chinese men's basketball team are not short of NBA stars, so the two sides put on a posture at the beginning of the well water does not violate the river water, and the old and dead do not get along, and there are some big problems.

There is no doubt that what awaits players on both sides will be a real battle.

The starting lineup of the Chinese team is Yao Ming, Chamberlain, Liu Wei, Zhu Fangyu, Sun Yue, which is the same as the starting lineup in the first game, in fact, Nelson Jr. wants to put Yao Ming or Chamberlain on the bench, so that the two of them will stagger their physical peak, but it is impossible, the fans do not allow this situation to occur, and whether it is Chamberlain or Yao Ming, I am afraid that they will not agree to sit on the bench.

The starting lineup of the Spanish team is center Pau Gasol, scoring guard Rudy Fernandez, playmaking guard Raul Lopez, power forward Carlos Gimenez, and small forward Philippe Reyes.

This lineup is not the strongest squad of the Spanish team, but it is the most reasonable lineup, in which the center is their core Gasol is 215 cm tall and weighs 118 kg, which is an acquaintance of Chamberlain and Yao Ming, in 2001 NBA Tanhua Show, three times in the Memphis Grizzlies in the first round of the West, this year in Los Angeles Lakers rushed to the NBA Finals, in the finals of the mediocre performance. In the 2007-2008 season, he played 66 games with the Grizzlies and Lakers, averaging 18 per game. 9 points 8. 4 plates 3. 2 assists.

Although in the NBA, Gasol will be nicknamed "soft", but in the FIBA arena, Gasol's all-round skills are beyond the reach of N NBA tough guys, which is also the development trend of FIBA. Pau Gasol is Spain's number one player, but Spain is not entirely dependent on Gasol, and Spain still won the title in the absence of Pau Gasol in the 2006 World Championship final in Japan.

Shooting guard Fernandez is 198 cm tall and weighs 84 kg, he is a standard FIBA star, a two-way guard, and can also play the position of small forward, breaking through sharp, three-point accuracy, and can fly good dunks, nicknamed the Spanish Little Flyer.

He was also last year's rookie, but he hasn't officially played in the NBA, having been drafted by the Portland Trail Blazers with the 24th pick in the first round in 2007, but it wasn't until June 6 of this year that Rudy Fernandez announced that he was leaving his former club, DKV-Joventut, to join the Trail Blazers.

Fernandez is a typical Spanish defender, with the physicality to rival black players, a high basketball IQ, and a well-rounded skill, whether it is cutting into the paint to challenge the basket or shooting from the perimeter, Rudy Fernandez will be a headache for Chinese defenders.

Although only 23 years old, he has a wealth of international experience and was a member of the 2006 World Championship winning team, and his second-tier backcourt combination with Sergio "Spanish Chocolate" Roderrigues even surpassed Navarro and Calderón in some games, and was a regular in the runners-up team at Euro 2007.

Raul López is the shortest player in the Spanish national team, standing only 182 centimeters tall and playing as a playmaker. This is also an NBA player, he was selected by the Utah Jazz with the 24th pick in the first round in 2001, bought out the contract with Real Madrid in the Spanish league in 2002 and transferred to the Utah Jazz, and then in 2005 he wanted to return to Spain to develop, and returned to Europe on a one-year contract after amicable negotiations with the Grizzlies, and now plays for Real Madrid.

The Spanish men's basketball team has no shortage of high-quality point guards, whether Calderón or Navarro, and the rising star golden boy Rubio, they are all excellent point guards, but Lopez is the starting point guard of this team, because he is good at organization, has stable shooting ability, and fierce defense, whether it is offensive or defensive, can bring great help to the team.

Lopez is not easy to deal with, he once sat on Stockton's bench at the end of his career, which he is very stained, because Stockton is the kind of traditional point guard, very good at **** newcomers, and very selfless, giving Lopez a lot of things, which is why he was selected by the Jazz team and immediately decided to pay for his own money to go to the Jazz, where, with Stockton, he learned a lot of things.

As a starting point guard, Lopes is one of the veterans of the Spanish team, having entered the national team in the same group as Pau Gasol in the 2001 European Championships, and this is the third season of Raul Lopez, who began his career in 1998, is very rare as a short playmaker.

Small forward Philippe Reyes has never been to the NBA, so he is not well-known in China, in fact, he is also a strong player, he is 206 cm tall, weighs 116 kilograms, plays as a power forward in Europe, and plays for Real Madrid.

Although Reyes is tall and big, he also has a certain ability to play singles with his back, but he is better at empty-handed movement to pull out of the gap and hold the ball from a 45-degree diagonal attack on the paint area, in the 2004 Olympic Games, several Chinese No. 4 players Mo Ke, Yi Jianlian, Du Feng have suffered from him.

As a striker, he's very flexible, can be involved in the team's fast break, and has good blocking ability.

Power forward Jimenez is less famous, and he has a nickname in Europe, called 'Blacksmith', which is not to describe his inaccurate shots and always shoot iron, but to say that his style is as tough as a blacksmith. In the warm-up match, Spain played against Lithuania, and the two sides almost fought, because Gimenez's defensive action was too big, and several times it was towards people.

There is no doubt that this time Garcia sent Gimenez on the field to use him to deal with Oxlade-Chamberlain.

Chamberlain and Gasol jumped the ball, he moved his wrists and ankles to stand on the midfield line, and said to Gasol defiantly: "Hey, I heard that you have two young people there who are very powerful, one is your younger brother, and the other is called what is the golden boy?" Why don't they play? I can't wait to see what these little guys can do. ”

Gasol smiled slightly, he, like Yao Ming, was low-key and reserved, and said: "Z, those things were just misunderstandings in the past, and the media deliberately sow discord and wanted to see our jokes, I hope you can believe my words." ”

Chamberlain sneered: "If I stand on your flag and tell you that it's just me joking with you, do you believe it or not?" ”

Gasol's face changed, and when it came to this, if he continued to be soft, it would be really a soft egg, in fact, he was not afraid of Chamberlain, he and Chamberlain were not the same style of players, even if they were in the opposite position, he believed that he had a chance to make the opponent helpless.

In the Western Conference finals, Chamberlain's defense against Gasol was not successful, but he and Bynum teamed up to make Chamberlain suffer a lot, which is why Gasol has this confidence.

But Gasol forgot one sentence, basketball is round.

According to the prediction, Spain should let the big and small Gasol play at the same time, the little Gasol is 215 tall and weighs 127 kilograms, which is somewhat similar to Chamberlain in size, and the height is not at a loss, and it is just right for him.

Like Fernandez, Gasol Jr. was drafted by the NBA with the 48th pick in the second round in 2007, but was already traded by the Lakers last season for his brother Pau Gasol.

Mark Gasso, the MVP of the Spanish league last season, is a tall man, outstanding in interior hand-to-hand combat, good in the low post, solid fundamentals, and a smart player. And it has a soft feel similar to Pau Gasol, and the shooting range can cover the FIBA three-point line. The weakness is that the speed is not fast enough, and the low-post defense and blocking have not yet reached the level of the NBA, but with his eldest brother's help defense, the power of the two is definitely more than 1+1=2 after they join forces.

The referee threw the ball up, Chamberlain held his breath, and flew up as soon as he stomped on the floor, Gasol reacted quickly, his speed and flexibility were not worse than Chamberlain, but there was a slight gap in the arm span of the two, although it was small, but many times, this difference can determine the result.

Chamberlain passed the ball to Liu Wei as expected, but Liu Wei did not dare to underestimate López, who was much older than him, because he had suffered several times in the hands of this old guy before.

Lopez's defense was very aggressive, and after standing in front of Liu Wei, he looked for opportunities to dig the ball while retreating.

Liu Wei dribbled sideways through the half, and then suddenly turned around and broke through from López's side. Lopez judged his landing point, and still chased after Liu Wei, like a piece of cowhide plaster, very sticky and uncomfortable.

Chamberlain helped Liu Wei block and dismantle in a high position, now the two are familiar with each other, and they are also decent to work with, after Chamberlain blocked Lopez, Liu Wei immediately went sideways to kill, seeing that Fernandez cut over quickly like a sharp knife and stopped Liu Wei, and Gimenez, who was responsible for marking Chamberlain, did not change his defense, but was still staring at Chamberlain, and Lopez transferred to Sun Yue for the first time, and an outside wheel conversion defense was over.

Liu Wei subconsciously passed the ball to Chamberlain, but Chamberlain was blocked by Jimenez and failed to reach the penalty area in time, he made a feint, and passed the ball to Sun Yue when he saw that Jimenez was unmoved.

Sun Yue relied on his height more than 20 centimeters above Lopez, grabbed the ball and jumped up to shoot, but he didn't know that the ball had not been lifted in his lower abdomen, and Lopez slapped it with a spicy slap, just pressed on the ball, and directly slapped the ball down.

That's what he learned from Stockton, it's not just passing, it's tackles!

Don't forget, Stockton is the No. 1 steal master in NBA history.
