"Everyone knows what it means to win tonight's game, and winning is the semi-finals!

Then we have two games and just one more win to get a medal!

If we can keep winning, the gold medal will be ours.

At that time, although it will not be famous for centuries, at least it will go down in history.

Not only domestic fans will remember us, but foreign fans will also remember us, and we will have a place in the history of world basketball.

Therefore, you must not play this game with the attitude that the quarterfinals are successful.

We have to give it our all, we have to play the last game, we have to show the courage to fight against the odds!

Of course, don't be stressed. Stay focused when you're defending, but take it easy when you're attacking.

The key to winning tonight is to maintain your energy and be able to make a difference in the second half. The second is to throw enough balls.

Just stick to the end and I'll take care of the rest!

Trust me and trust yourselves, in my opinion, we are the best! ”

The men's basketball team against Spain in the quarterfinals is about to start, and Doon is still cheering in the locker room.

Before going on the court, the men's basketball team was united. However, after landing on the playing field, Doon found that he had underestimated the Spanish men's basketball team.

Of the starting five of the Spanish men's basketball team, except for Carlos Gimenez, the captain of the Spanish team.

The remaining four are Jose Calderón, Juan Carlos Navarro, Jorge Gabajosa and Pau Gasol, all of whom are top European players who have joined the NBA or are about to join the NBA.

And in the bench lineup, there are Gasol Jr., Sergio Rodriguez, Rudy Fernandez and other strong players who are about to go to the NBA.

In addition, there is Philippe Reyes, who has gone on a killing spree in FIBA.

At present, this Spanish team, far from their peak, is only missing the growth of Gasol Jr. and others, as well as Rubio and Ibaka.

However, playing the men's basketball team at this stage, the advantage should not be too big.

After the game officially started, Pau Gasol helped the Spanish team jump the ball.

In the past, the defensive strategy of the men's basketball team was mainly to set up joint defense, but tonight against the Spanish team with baskets, they had to mark people to prevent the opponent from shooting three-pointers from the outside.

Spain's point guard Calderón is an experienced man who dribbled past half court and went straight inside with Gabajosa's block.

Liu Wei failed to squeeze through the cover, Yi Jianlian switched defenses and stepped forward, and then Calderon passed the ball to the disassembled Gabajosa, who came up with a three-point shot to try his touch.

Although Doon helped defend it, he was still a beat slower, and was bukkake by Gabajosa's superbly accurate three-point shot.

In response, Doon was preparing to hit one.

However, Liu Wei was pressed by Calderon when dribbling, and was forced to protect the ball with his back, pouting his butt and slowly dribbling to the frontcourt.

You must know that there will be a lot of dead corners in the field of vision of the back dribble, and the Spanish team seems to have studied this for a long time, Navarro took advantage of Liu Wei's inattention, and suddenly struck from the blind corner of the field of vision and reached out to take out the ball.

When Liu Wei noticed that someone was coming, he accidentally dribbled the ball to the instep of his foot in a panic, and then was taken away by Calderon offside, and then Calderon scored two points on a layup.

Doon didn't expect this to happen as soon as the game started.

But if you really think about it, there is still more or less Doon's pot.

In order to allow Yao Ming and other former teammates to conserve more energy in the first three quarters, Doon took the initiative to lower the pace of the game.

In the dribbling session, the men's basketball team is walking slowly.

Moreover, Du En has explained to Liu Wei, Sun Yue, and Chen Jianghua that when there is pressure in ball control, he will come forward to respond at any time.

There were no problems with this before, but the Spanish team studied it in advance.

Calderon pressed Liu Wei not particularly tightly, Liu Wei didn't feel too much pressure to carry it by himself, at most, he was a little slower with his back, who would have thought that the Spanish team would have such a move as a backcourt pinch.

Now it's a long and wise eat, but the opening game was beaten 5-0, which is also quite uncomfortable.

"Don't worry, stay focused."

Dunn slipped out of the basket, re-served Liu Wei, and comforted Liu Wei.

But Liu Wei saw Calderon pressing forward again, and still passed the ball back to Doon in the backcourt.

Doon knew that tonight's game was going to be tough, but if he had to do something like dribbling, he would have less energy to attack.

"It's okay Liu Wei, just take your time, I'm sure you can do it."

Seeing Calderon retreat over the halfcourt, Doon passed the ball to Liu Wei again and asked him to continue dribbling.

With Doon's encouragement, Liu Wei could only regain control of the ball with his head stiff.

When Calderón pressed on, he was back to protect the ball and slowly dribble to the frontcourt.

Fortunately, there was no mistake this time, and Doon got the ball in the front court and rushed straight inside.

is also because Liu Wei is still outside the three-point line, and Calderon has not been able to retreat to the three-point line in time.

The court is a four-on-four situation, and Yao Ming has already settled in a good position on the inside and is ready to play singles.

Doon took advantage of Yao Ming's inside line to attract the attention of Pau Gasol and Gabajosa, and directly changed his direction to force Gimenez.

Navarro and Pau Gasol tried to make up for it, but they were overrun by Doon, who headed straight to the basket and dunked the ball.

"it, Doon! This ball is so beautiful! ”

"It's really uplifting, Doon is Doon, it's really hard!"

The men's basketball benches on the sidelines jumped up from the bench all of a sudden, apparently stimulated by Doon's violent dunk.

There is one thing to say, the beginning was beaten 5-0 by the Spanish team, and the pressure is not to say that Mount Tai is overwhelming, at least it is also a black cloud pressing the city.

As the boss of the men's basketball team, Doon also responded to the Spanish team in the toughest and most direct way and boosted the morale of the men's basketball team!

However, after Doon dunked in, Gimenez, who chased Doon to the basket, immediately chased the baseline and picked up the basketball that Doon knocked out with a shark splash.

At the same time, the other four players of the Spanish team are all playing fast breaks, which is a bit of a surprise for the men's basketball team.

The men's basketball team was still somewhat shocked by Doon's dunk, and seeing Doon knock the ball out with his stomach, he subconsciously felt that the ball would take a long time to serve.

At this time, everyone is trying to run to Doon's side to applaud and motivate each other.

Who knew that the Spanish team was so disciplined and so unethical!

"Defense, defense, defense."

Yao Ming noticed that Da Gasol ran ahead of him, and when he saw that the Spanish players were playing fast attacks, he immediately shouted anxiously.

However, the Dourne outside player was still a little slow to return to the defense.

I saw Gimenez pass the ball to the front basket through a long pass, Navarro took a step forward after receiving the ball and made a layup, scoring the ball directly, not giving Doane a chance to chase the hat.

However, after Doon rushed to the basket, he immediately caught the ball and slipped out of the baseline, ready to return the favor with the other way.

"Da Yao catches the ball!"

Doon made a long pass to Yao Ming, who ran to the middle circle, and reminded him at the same time.

However, Yao Ming still lacks the cooperation with Doon's long-pass conversion offense, and he didn't notice that the ball was the ball leader, Doon hoped that Yao Ming would turn around and run directly to the basket and take a step to catch the ball, and then he could go to the basket in three steps directly.

Yao Ming stood on the spot to receive the ball, obviously wasting some opportunities to play into a transition attack.

And when Yao Ming took the ball and turned to the basket to kill, Da Gasol and Gabajosa also chased after him.

Yao Ming dribbled to the three-point line, and Pau Gasol had already run to the free throw line to block Yao Ming.

Yao Ming turned from the frame to the basket and hit Gasol with a tough back, but when he took two steps to the basket, Gabajosa's bag came as scheduled.

In this case, Yao Ming was not intimidated, and took out his good tricks to turn over and jump shots.

The basketball didn't hollow into the net, but it bumped and bounced twice before rolling into the hoop.

7 to 4, the difference is still 3 points.

The Spanish team saw Yao Ming shoot and hit the ball, so they repeated their skills, grabbed the baseline ball again, and switched offense when they played.

The men's basketball team immediately returned to defense, and the Spanish team saw that they had no chance to play the transition directly, so this time there was no long pass, but Calderón took the ball in the backcourt, and then dribbled quickly.

Taking advantage of the opportunity that Yao Ming had not returned to the paint area to sit under the basket, Calderon broke through to the three-point line and pretended to chase down the three-point shot, but in fact, he passed the ball to Gimenez who cut the basket through a high throw.

Doon reacted quickly enough to notice that Calderon's shot was not a shooting action and that the basketball trajectory was not quite right, so he immediately turned to look at Gimenez.

Noticing that Gimenez had rushed to the basket, he immediately chased after him for a block.

Gimenez didn't expect Doon to react so quickly, run so fast, and jump so fast.

Gimenez was not particularly outstanding because of his physical fitness, so he didn't catch the ball directly, but grabbed it and jumped up again to make a layup, not wanting Doane to suddenly shoot out from behind him and destroy the ball.

And the direction in which the ball was slapped away by Doon was exactly where Yi Jianlian was.

Yi Jianlian wanted to stabilize the rebound, and then immediately go down the next dragon, but I don't know if there was sweat on the ball, or sweat on the hands, or if I was too nervous, in short, my hand slipped after touching the ball.

After the rebound was lost, it was taken by Gabajosa next to him.

Just when Yi Jianlian turned to grab the ball, Calderon suddenly cut the basket, Gabajosa made a back-to-back pass, Calderon received the ball and scored a layup.

It can only be said that the Spanish team is too tacit to cooperate!

This kind of fluid cooperation is rare in the NBA, Doon said.

Only European teams that emphasize team basketball can play with ease.

The point difference has expanded to 5 points again, and the men's basketball team can only catch up.

However, just for the dribbling link, the men's basketball team can't get up fast.

Originally, the Spanish team was already playing fast, and if the men's basketball team followed suit, the physical strength of Yao Ming and others would not be enough.

In order not to be disrupted by the Spanish team, the men's basketball team must slow down and play steadily.

After halftime, Doon called Yi Jianlian to come out to block and dismantle, and once again used the breakthrough to hit the basket and scored 2 points.

"Don't flank me?"

Dunn faintly realized that something was wrong, and saw that Yao Ming, who had only scored 2 points after playing half a quarter, was out of breath, and then he came to his senses.

It turned out that the Spanish team played fast and anxiously on the surface, but in fact they played very patiently, that is, they were fighting a war of attrition.

From the beginning of the game, it can be seen that Liu Wei was pinched by the dribble, and the Spanish team attached great importance to the men's basketball team before the game and did a lot of research.

In order to win tonight's game, Spain took a more secure approach.

is like the Dream Seven team, the constant pressing and fast attack consume the physical strength of the main players of the men's basketball team.

By the second half, the men's basketball team will only become more and more clumsy, more and more difficult to score, and more and more unable to defend.

On the other hand, the Spanish team has enough depth on the bench and there is no problem with the physical strength of the main players.

In addition, early in the first quarter, Yao Ming was subjected to a lot of physical confrontation on the inside through card positions, rebounds, and offensive and defensive ends, doubling Yao Ming's physical strength.

As for Doon's side, the strategy adopted by the Spanish team is also to let Doon hold the ball and play alone to consume Doon's physical strength.

At the same time, he is trying to avoid being fouled by Doon as much as possible and limit the playing time of the main interior players.

It can only be said that as early as the beginning of the game, the Spanish team had exhausted its last resort and made a comprehensive target for the men's basketball team.

And the men's basketball team doesn't know enough about the Spanish team, and even Doon himself doesn't pay enough attention to the Spanish team.

In a way, tonight's game, before the game started, the men's basketball team had already lost.

No matter how outstanding Doon and Yao Ming's personal abilities are, it is useless.

Because the men's basketball team can only rely on the individual ability of Doon and Yao Ming to score, while the Spanish team is playing on the strength of the team as a whole.

Spain can not only score efficiently, but also play tough defensively.

After all, basketball is a team sport, and Doon and Yao Ming can't keep the Spanish team scoring at the same time.

Of course, tonight's Yao Ming's overall scoring efficiency is not high.

5-of-12 shooting, 4-of-4 free throws, converting free throws into shots, the overall result is 14 points on 14-of-14 shooting.

This situation is naturally because the Spanish team defends Yao Ming very well.

Not only does it consume Yao Ming's physical strength with fast attacks and a lot of body contact, but once Yao Ming gets the ball, he also attacks Yao Ming inside, forcing Yao Ming to make a more difficult shot.

It can only be said that under the rules of the NBA, Yao Ming wants to be a notch stronger than Gasol, because offense is greater than everything in the NBA.

But when it comes to FIBA, Da Gasol is a notch stronger than Yao Ming, because FIBA plays more depending on the configuration of teammates, and Da Gasol, who is well-rounded and full of physical strength, is more suitable for such a competition stage than Yao Ming.

In the same way, Doon can rely on his personal ability to kill all sides on the NBA playoff stage, but he can't lead a group of CBAs to dominate the FIBA.

In tonight's game, Doon scored 42 points and even led the men's basketball team not to lose much to Spain in the first half.

But in the third quarter, the men's basketball team had Doon on the offense, but the defensive hip was constantly played into a conversion offense by the Spanish team, and he kept shooting three-point shots, which Doon had no choice.

At the same time, Yao Ming couldn't stand up because of physical problems and the Spanish team's defense.

When Doon was alone, he could only watch the third quarter be pulled away and the fourth quarter was beaten into garbage time.

95-80, the men's basketball team lost the quarterfinals with a huge gap of 15 points, thus losing the hope of advancing to the semifinals and winning medals.

However, the basketball leaders who came with the men's basketball team are optimistic about this.

Doon and Yao Ming played with a group of CBA players, and Gasol with a group of NBA players, and the quarterfinals were played like this, which is already good.

Besides, I played the Dream Seven team before, and the results of the men's basketball team were okay.

Nowadays, there is indeed a certain gap between the men's basketball team and the world's first-class teams, but the gap is not too big, and there is still hope to catch up.

Next, the leaders will study how to send more CBA players to play in the NBA, improve their strength, and prepare for the future World Championships.

At the same time, the leaders also hope that Doon and others will not be discouraged and continue to play the next two qualifying games to help the men's basketball team break through the past eight finals.

Hearing the leaders say this, Doon was also quickly relieved.

In a person's life, it is often difficult to achieve the expected goal, and failure will always run through life.

Regarding the matter of winning medals at the World Championships, it is actually wishful thinking on the part of Doon.

Doon has just won the championship and FMVP in the NBA, and after returning home, his heart is very high, and he naturally hopes to win a medal, or even a gold medal.

But the problem is that strength does not allow it, and now there are only three NBA players in the men's basketball team, and Wang Zhizhi is even just a marginal player on the NBA bench.

If Wang Zhizhi is in good condition and can score a high score of more than ten points in the world championship, and his state is relatively average, the role in the men's basketball team is similar to that of Liu Wei, Wang Shipeng, and Zhu Fangyu.

The real helper around Doon is just Yao Ming, and Yao Ming still has weaknesses and can be targeted by players.

If the men's basketball team can't solve the problem of physical strength and defense in the fourth quarter, relying on Doon alone to win the ball in the fourth quarter, whether he can win a medal in the next Olympics depends on luck.

It's like Doane's first year with the Chicago Bulls, who met the Pistons early in the playoffs, lacking help, and can't beat it.

After losing the playoffs, the Bulls owner was not dissatisfied with Doane's performance, like the current basketball leader, but affirmed it and promised the next reinforcements.

After all, the men's basketball team is not like national table tennis, and it must ensure that it is the first in the world.

Because it was bad enough before, as long as you can break through the quarterfinals, you will be counted.

It's like the Bulls have been rotten for years in a row, and making the playoffs is considered a success.

But now that Doon has given them hope, it's time to set new goals.

In order to achieve the new goal, the men's basketball team needs to take some action, need to solve the problems within the team, and also need to strengthen.

Now it has not reached the step of naturalization, so it can only send more potential players to play in the NBA.

The young players in the men's basketball team were motivated to hear the leaders make such a commitment.

In the next two qualifying matches, Doon played a lot easier.

Not only are the young players in great shape, but the veterans are also desperately trying to produce results.

After all, two qualifying games determine whether or not the men's basketball team can break through the quarterfinals.

It is also unknown whether the next two years of young players going to the NBA will affect their status in the men's basketball team.

In order to avoid falling behind, and at the same time to be able to lie on the credit book in the future, the veterans naturally fought harder.

Can't beat Spain, can't beat Turkey and France?

Relying on two consecutive qualifying victories, the men's basketball team broke through the quarterfinals and the top six successively, and finally achieved a good result of fifth place.

At the same time, with the semifinals and finals of this World Championship, the legendary victory and championship of the Spanish team, the evaluation of the men's basketball team by most domestic fans has also changed from criticism to praise.

There is no shame in being beaten by the champion team! Losing to the champion is a runner-up with bad luck.

Besides, the Dream Seven team all fell in the semifinals! If you really want to talk about it, the top four of the Dream Seven team are not much better than the top five of the men's basketball team......

In other words, when all the members of the Spanish team wore the gold medal on the podium and the Spanish national anthem was played, Doon's World Championship journey would end here.

It's just that what Doon didn't expect was that there was a little surprise.

[Congratulations on winning the 2006 World Men's Basketball Championship with an average of 33 points per game, winning the 2006 World Championship scoring title.] 】

[You have achieved the achievement of the World Championship scoring champion and obtained a chance to draw the World Championship scoring champion player template, is it a lottery?] 】

The basketball achievement system can not only brush up on NBA achievements, but also on other events, which Doon has long known in the NCAA.

It's just that I didn't expect that the NBA scoring champion hadn't been won yet, but he won the World Championship scoring title first.

However, after getting the chance to draw the World Championship player template, Doon was even more sorry that he couldn't beat the Spanish team and reach the semi-finals.

After all, only by reaching the semi-finals can you be selected for the best team of the World Championships.

Otherwise, Doon could have a few more player templates.

Although these player templates are extremely limited in their effect on Doon these days, as an adult, Doon's choice is still - I want it all!

[Congratulations on getting the Oscar Schmidt template!] 】

"Damn, the world's leading scorer? A man with a career of nearly 50,000 points? ”
