Chapter 158: Semifinals against Australia
"It's so easy? Is this the final four? ”
Although sitting in front of the TV, most of the Chinese basketball fans in Huaguo still couldn't fully digest the news for a while.
It also came too suddenly.
A few days ago, everyone was still worried about whether the Chinese men's basketball team could qualify for the group stage, but in the blink of an eye, the situation suddenly changed, and the Chinese men's basketball team not only defeated Serbia and Croatia in a row, but also went all the way to the top four!
This guy is the same as reading Shuangwen.
Wang Feng's performance in these two games completely dominated the game, with 54 points in one game and 41 points in the other, almost single-handedly defeating the opponent, dragging the Huaguo men's basketball team into the final four, and the poor performance in the previous games was like two people.
"Wang Feng's breakthrough with the ball seems to be very powerful, whether it is Serbia or Croatia, when defending Wang Feng one-on-one, he can't even stop his breakthrough with the ball."
"The mid-to-long-range pull-up jump shot is also much more stable, which is much more accurate than when he was in the NBA."
"There are still three points, have you ever seen Wang Feng shoot three points from such a distance in the NBA? Most of his three-point shooting is concentrated on the left and right corners of the three-point line, and I wonder if this Wang Feng is pretending to be Curry's plastic surgery? ”
Wang Feng's sudden display of various skills surprised Chinese fans, and at the same time they were a little puzzled, after all, when he was in the NBA, Wang Feng didn't have these things.
Soon, Wang jumped out to give Wang Feng a reasonable explanation.
"It seems that in the Warriors, it is not Wang Feng hugging his thighs, on the contrary, it is the Warriors' lineup that limits Wang Feng's play, with Curry and Thompson, Wang Feng can get very little ball, and he can't use these skills."
"Ahh I see, Wang Feng is really NB. ”
Everyone suddenly realized.
Leaving aside this unimportant detail, it's finally been discovered how much a strong backcourt player can improve the team.
The two games won by Wang Feng and the Huaguo men's basketball team are things that even Da Yao at his peak can hardly do.
There is no doubt that Da Yao, who scored 94 points in the 2K total rating at his peak, is stronger than Wang Feng, who has a total rating of only 86 now, but the position of the inside player undoubtedly limits Da Yao's scoring explosiveness, and even in the international arena, in order to target the Chinese men's basketball team, the most accustomed trick used by other teams is to press the whole court and defend around the front.
The former targets other players of the Chinese men's basketball team, and in the case of superior physical fitness, the full-court pressing can make the Chinese foreign players rush and even make direct mistakes, and there is no chance to pass the ball to Da Yao on the inside line.
The latter, on the other hand, is specifically aimed at Da Yao, who usually needs to consume more physical energy to regain his position in the face of the opponent's forward defense, and tries his best to receive passes on the inside, which is only a 2-point score.
In addition, Da Yao added weight to the body in order to ensure the lethality of the inside line, which directly led to the situation of physical overdraft in the second half of the game.
These problems encountered during the Da Yao period did not exist at all when put on Wang Feng.
Wang Feng, who is an outside player himself, will not be defended at all, as for the whole court...... As long as you look at the NBA, who will choose to press the whole court except for a last-minute desperate fight? Facing Curry, Paul, Irving, Westbrook, the league's top guards, the result of the full-court pressing is likely to be quickly thrown away in disguise, and then the opponent is easily overhead.
Wang Feng's dribbling ability can't compare to these first-line point guards, but it has also been strengthened to 90, coupled with the speed and agility that have exceeded 90, it is not too easy to deal with the pressure of the whole court.
Whether it is Serbia or Croatia, when they find that the situation is not good, they have also used full-court pressing to try to suppress the offensive rhythm of the Chinese men's basketball team, but in the face of this situation, Wang Feng will immediately take over the ball and press the whole court without attacking!
In addition, as an outside player, Wang Feng is much stronger than Da Yao in terms of scoring explosiveness, especially his current ability value is almost all pulled up by offensive ability value, if you put aside the two categories of organization and defense, and in terms of offensive ability alone, Wang Feng's evaluation is definitely above 90, or even higher!
……
The Chinese men's basketball team, which defeated Croatia, successfully entered the semifinals, and the opponent in the semi-finals was Australia, which was also in Group A and ranked second in the group stage.
There is no doubt that there is a huge gap in strength between the two teams, one is third in the world and the other is outside the top ten!
Before the game, the predictions of countries around the world were that Australia would win by a large score, even if the Chinese men's basketball team had Wang Feng, it would probably be difficult to win.
There is a very important factor in this, which is that Wang Feng's strength has been fully exposed in the first two games.
Serbia and Croatia were caught off guard and failed to think of a suitable response in the first place.
But this time in Australia is different.
From the fifth round of Group A group on August 15, when Wang Feng showed his edge, to the semi-finals on August 20, it was a full 5 days.
The Australian coaching staff had plenty of time to analyze the technical characteristics of Wang's two games frame by frame and develop a set of targeted defensive tactics.
The effect of the surprise soldier is not much, and the two teams are completely head-on bayonet duels.
In this case, Australia, which has five NBA players, has an absolute advantage in terms of overall strength.
But...... Even so, thousands of fans can't help but look forward to a miracle, hoping that the Chinese men's basketball team can win the first medal in history that belongs to basketball!
……
August 20, the day of the semi-finals.
The semi-finals between Mi and Spain, which took place first, have come to an end.
The United States team defeated Spain 82-76 and successfully advanced to the final.
Next, it is the showdown between the Chinese men's basketball team and the Australian men's basketball team.
Wang Feng followed his teammates to the field and saw the red banner hanging on the sidelines for the first time.
"Huaguo men's basketball team! Win! Come on, Wang Feng! ”
Those were a small number of Chinese fans who came to Rio de Janeiro from China.
Wang Feng waved his hand in the direction of the banner, which immediately caused a scream.
After a little hello, Wang Feng focused all his attention on the opposite side, the Australian men's basketball team, with a calm gaze.
"This game, no matter what, you have to win!"
If he can't win against Australia, then his previous rhetoric of competing for a medal is an empty word.
If it loses to Australia, the Chinese men's basketball team can only compete with Spain for the bronze medal in third place, which is a stronger opponent than Australia, almost all members of the NBA, including the all-star Gasol brothers, as well as Rubio, Calderon, Mirotic and other tough players.
If the Chinese men's basketball team can't win against Australia, it's even less likely to win against Spain, so this is a game that must be won!
