On the 19th, the Chinese team in Group D played the Italian team for the first time.The stadium was full, and most of the Japanese fans came to support China, and it was like a home stadium.A Japanese person was interviewed before the game and bluntly said that the Chinese team's game will be better than the Japanese team, because there are two NBA stars, the Dream Seven team and Argentina are also good.Of course, there were Japanese people who were looking for trouble, and two men tried to enter the venue with signs with insulting slogans, but they were confiscated by their own people and kicked out.The World Series is rarely held in Japan, and there is a provocative stupid x, and it is the face of the Japanese that is lost, so the investigation is particularly strict.Italy came with a group of unknown players, and the new champion Bagnani did not play.Even so, the information of the Italian players was handed over to the coaching staff and the players, and they were researched before the game.Who is the core of the opponent, what techniques each person is good at, what tactics the coach is good at, videos of key games, etc., you name it.The Chinese men's basketball team is very good in intelligence, and Younas once said in an interview: "Our scouting work is probably the best in the world."
For all opponents, video footage of any game in the last two years can be obtained, and there are dedicated technical analysts to do the work.We can collect a large number of footage and analyze it and prepare it for the opponent. ”Chinese spies have been very strong since ancient times, but the behind-the-scenes workers are now no one to cheer, if they are put in ancient times, they may go out and there will be fans shouting: "Baolong clan Baolong clan" They are not big inner secret agents China sent Yao Ming, Du Feng, Zhu Fangyu, Wang Jun, Liu Wei's starting lineup.This is a bit surprising, Yi Jianlian, who got a lot of playing time during the warm-up, and Wang Zhizhi were substituted together, focusing on small-ball tactics, and Yao Ming himself sat on the inside.This is aimed at the lack of low-post offense of the Italian team, and the advantage is that it can well defend the opponent's three-point shooting, and the outside blocking and dismantling are not suitable for the joint defense against Italy.The big man came out.Especially when Wang Zhizhi plays, the speed of changing defenses will definitely be slower, Du Feng is very thin, much faster, and has a good three-point ability.The rules of international basketball are a little different from those of the NBA.No defense for three seconds.The center can stand directly under the basket and wait for the opponent to attack, Yao Ming is no problem with a big man.After the opening, Yao Ming was in the low post, Wang Jun was on the periphery, and he could hold the ball to attack or run to the bottom corner, forming a triangle with Zhu Fangyu.Attract defense.The opponent only needs to wrap Yao Ming.Separation is opportunity.Yao Ming played two Italian centers in a row.The Italian formation began to shrink, Wang Jun was powerful again, and the single player Belinelli was completely one-sided.Wang Jun's confrontation ability obviously prevailed, relying on a turn to shoot, turning around in the middle and stepping back to shoot consecutive points.Italy couldn't shoot, Yao Ming grabbed the rebound and launched a counterattack, and Wang Jun leaned on Belinelli.received a pass from Liu Wei and forced a layup to score.Italy's tactics are mainly to rely on the perimeter to cover the ball and shoot, and the big man can also be pulled out.Side slip bottom line.When the two sides warmed up on July 2, the Chinese team that Italy played without Yao Ming and Wang Jun had no power to fight back.Now their "go through the back door" tactics are not working, and there is only one slow big man on the Chinese field.On the defensive side, the Italian team is even more helpless, Wang Jun and Yao Ming are too powerful to fight alone, and Yao Ming can still compress or go around the front, pass out and rely on rotation to interfere with the shot, which is not good for Wang Jun.Wang Jun is a singles with the ball on the periphery, and the pass distance of a pack is too close, and there is no time to rotate next to him, and his teammates can easily get empty seats.Du Feng and Liu Wei both received Wang Jun's pass and scored three points.Liu Wei also had a successful breakthrough to attract the defense, and the cross to the middle gave Yao Mingkong a two-handed dunk.With seven minutes left in the second half, the margin widened to 22 points and entered garbage time.The two cores were replaced by Younas in advance, and Wang Jun scored 37 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal; Yao Ming had 24 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks.Yi Jianlian and Wang Zhizhi continued to play and maintained their advantage to the end.The Chinese team got off to a good start 101-82.Wang Zhizhi didn't have much performance, and scored 6 points and 3 rebounds in a decent manner.The next day, China vs the United States.Relying on joint defense and opponents, the Chinese team only trailed by 4 points in the first half, and seemed to see the hope of winning.Yao had a clear advantage in picking Miller and Howard, and Wang Jun also hit two three-pointers on the periphery.It's a pity that in the second half, Battier made Yao Ming hit people with the ball, and Yao Ming fell into foul trouble with 4 fouls, which became the turning point of the game.Wang Zhizhi and Yi Jianlian couldn't withstand the impact of James, Anthony, and Wade, and Joe Johnson and Hinrich also hit three-pointers to open the score.The teammates couldn't prevent it, and Wang Jun got 25 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists to no avail.James, Wade, and Brand took turns restricting him, keeping someone in front of him to interfere with the shot, which also reduced his shooting percentage.The Chinese team lost the game 98-115.Judging from the history of the two sides, the difference is not large, and if the 2004 Olympics has this strength, the Chinese team is likely to win the Dream Six.Dream Seven is different from Dream Six in that there are three-point shooters on the team, and the joint defense can't completely limit their offense.When the 12-man roster was decided, many fans expressed their confusion as to why Hinrich and Battier were selected In fact, these two are important because they can provide consistent three-point firepower and can defend.Paul, Wade, and James don't fit in well under the rules of international basketball.The old K coach is interested in Hinrich, but he is not interested in bringing a big name like Iverson.Iverson was depressed and said that he could take care of the children at home.The Chinese fans were not disappointed by the loss to Mengqi, and the Chinese team looked much stronger than in 2004.After a day of rest, on the 22nd, the Chinese team defeated Puerto Rico 96-90 under the leadership of Wang Jun and Yao Ming, and qualified ahead of schedule in three games.The players struggled to defend against Puerto Rico's outside line, and they couldn't prevent the Chinese team's combined internal and external attacks.Wang Jun had 30 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists.On the 23rd, the Chinese team ravaged Senegal 117-78, and the opponent had no temper at all, and the whole team shot 18 three-pointers.The World Championships is divided into two halves for a total of 40 minutes, and the scoring efficiency of the Chinese team is very amazing.Wang Jun went berserk, shooting 17-of-24, 5-of-9 three-pointers, and 6-of-6 serving to finish with 45 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists, including 5 frontcourt rebounds.Yao Ming 19 points and 8 rebounds; Wang Zhizhi also shot a three-pointer and scored 15 points; Six players in the Chinese team scored double-doubles.On the 24th, the Chinese team defeated Slovenia 100-77, with a record of 4 wins and 1 loss, and broke through to the second place in Group D.Slovenia has four NBA players in the tournament, which looks scary and plays in a mediocre way.The inside line formed by Nestrovic and Brezek was blocked by Wang Jun and burst into a sieve.In the second half, Wang Jun once broke through and knocked over the point guard Rakovic's violent dunk, and the opponent was demoralized.Wang Jun had 32 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists, averaging 338 points per game to lead the scoring list of the World Championships, and no one else was in the limelight.This record allowed the Chinese team to avoid the United States team in the knockout round, and they will not meet again until the final, greatly increasing the chances of winning a medal.Chinese fans comment online every day to follow the game, and the Chinese media also believe that this time the record will definitely be broken.s:
