Players are given two days off after the group stage.The Chinese media compared this Chinese team with the Chinese team that finished 8th in the 1996 World Championships and concluded that this edition is worthy of being the strongest in history.In the center forward position, Yao Ming, who has become the world's top center forward, is obviously better than Wang Zhizhi, who was a fledgling in 1996.Power forwards Wang Zhizhi and Yi Jianlian are definitely better than Gong Xiaobin.Small forward Hu Weidong is better than Zhu Fangyu, "Chinese Jordan" is not called in vain.Wu Qinglong was known as Asia's No. 1 scoring guard at the time, characterized by three-point accuracy and strength, except for his short stature, he was a little similar to Wang Jun.But he's a weakened version at best, and the gap in this position is obvious.Point guard Li Xiaoyong outperformed Liu Wei.The reason why the Liaoning men's basketball team has been able to compete with the Bayi team at its peak for four years is because of Li Xiaoyong, without him, the Liaoning men's basketball team will only be an ordinary second-rate team.Although Liu Wei is currently the best point guard in the CBA, he cannot improve the team's level by himself, and winning the championship depends on Yao Ming's high level.It is not difficult to find that although there were two strong points in the past, the level of men's basketball stars in this year is too high, and the 96 class can only look up.After Wang Jun came back, there were no obvious weaknesses in this men's basketball team, there were many pitchers, and point guard Liu Wei at least did not suffer physical confrontation when facing foreign guards.The Kings would want to give him a non-guaranteed contract, and it's not for nothing that they're looking for him for a tryout.There are also surprise soldiers on the bench, Sun Yue has good physical fitness, can often send beautiful defensive hats, and his organizational skills are also good.Chen Jianghua became famous at a young age, as long as he strengthens his confrontation ability and practices shooting well, even if he can't adapt to NBA-level confrontation, he will be a star in Asia.Everything.Just waiting for a breakthrough.After qualifying from the group, Wang Jun's popularity in Japan is getting higher and higher day by day.In the final battle, a Japanese woman holding a Chinese sign to show her love appeared in the stands.Some Japanese businessmen want to find Wang Jun as an endorsement, and Ryan Hughes is responsible for finding a reason to push it off, Wang Jun doesn't want to endorse Japanese products.I often come to Japan to do activities during holidays.The most exaggerated.A game company wants to buy Wang Jun's image and put it in the Street Fighter game.The images of Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan have appeared in the Tekken game, and the protagonists of Ghost Warrior 3 are Takeshi Kaneshiro and Jean Renault.But they are all actors, Wang Jun appeared in Street Fighter, what kind of image is this promoted, comparing basketball with Long to Bo and Chun Li, and boxing with Bai Son is really nonsense, he must push it off.Two days later, the rematch began, and China's opponent was Lithuania, who finished third in Group C.Interestingly, the Chinese coach Younas is none other than Lithuanian.If you want to lead the Chinese team to achieve a breakthrough.He has to beat his own country's team.This became a pre-game gimmick.Younas knows the Lithuanian national team well, and after the start of the game, the tactics arranged were aimed at the weak underbelly everywhere.The Lithuanian center forward moves slowly, has height and strength, and Yao Ming did not play a low post, but pulled to the perimeter to help his teammates cover.Wang Jun received the ball and shot or broke through with the ball, which made the Lithuanian big man very difficult to defend.Attracted the bag and he took advantage of the ball, and his teammates shot.Yao Ming also has the ability to jump shots in the high post, and Yi Jianlian also hit two baseline cuts.The dunk is successful.At halftime, the Chinese team led by 10 points.In the second half, Lithuania changed its strategy, strictly guarded Wang Jun on the periphery, sent people to the side, and Yao Ming began to play.Wang Jun passed to his teammates without directly forming an assist, they hoisted the ball to Yao Ming in the low post on the right side, and singled out the opponent's center forward was an opportunity.Once Yao Ming misses the shot, the four quickly return to the defense to ensure the defensive formation.The Chinese team reduced Wang Zhizhi's playing time and let Du Feng play for a long time, which is precisely where the advantage lies.In order to ensure efficiency, Lithuania made resolute shots in counterattacks, and the rhythm was not very good, which is exactly what Du Feng is good at defending.Positional warfare Yao Ming guaranteed the attack in the penalty area, Lithuania could only shoot on the periphery, the guards broke through, and the Chinese team played well in attack regardless of counterattack or positional battle.The score difference was not big, and the Chinese team had the last laugh 95-89.China's defense is still problematic, but fortunately they are very strong in attack.Yu Jia commented: "Now the Chinese team is a standard internal and external dual-core configuration, reminiscent of the Lakers, the star singles are efficient, can help teammates create opportunities, and the opponent can't contain Wang Jun and Yao Ming." ”Zhang said: "One thing that Yao Ming is better than O'Neal is his range, he can not only attack, but also pull out, giving defenders more room to play. ”Wang Jun scored 33 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists, and played the whole game; Yao Ming played 34 minutes and scored 22 points, 10 rebounds and 2 assists; Liu Wei also played a game after the slump in the group stage, scoring 16 points and 8 assists, and he and Yao Ming cooperated very tacitly.After the game, there were a lot of comments online."
Wang Jun is too strong, the best player in the NBA is different.""
Wang Jun throws more himself, and he should strive to score 100 points in the group stage of passing the ball.""
As soon as he came back, his attack power was much stronger.""
How is this schedule arranged, the end is actually to play Spain, it is too difficult."
Fans unanimously believe that Wang Jun has the greatest credit for being able to play to this point.The fighting spirit of other players is also worth encouraging, and the national team has absorbed a lot of young blood, with a faster pace and more aggressive defense.Wang Zhizhi didn't play much of a role, and the gap between him and the fans' expectations was not small, but he was only responsible for bringing substitutes to ensure that Yao Ming would attack inside after he got off the field.There are joys and sorrows.Fans are happy that the Chinese team advanced to the top 8 and tied the record of the best record in history, and the depressed opponent was a famous European giant.There was no problem with the schedule, there were no upsets in the round of 16, and the top four groups all qualified.If you don't want to meet Spain, unless Serbia and Montenegro knock Spain out of the country, that kind of thing can't happen.Spain have been strong this year, also known as the golden generation, with quality players in all positions, winning all five games in the group stage, and not facing much resistance in the last game against Serbia and Montenegro.They seem to be the strongest outside of the U.S. team, with multiple players playing in the NBA, and a few starters who didn't go are also NBA strong.Pau Gasol and Jogo Gabayosa partnered on the inside, both had a long range and solid shooting.On the periphery is Sergio Rodriguez, a point guard who was just selected by the Suns in the first round of 26.He's still just off the bench, and the starting point guard is Jose Calderon of the Raptors.The shooting guard is Juan Navarro, who was drafted by the Wizards in the second round in 2002, but he has a contract and has never been logged into the NBA.Small forward Rudy Fernandez has amazing physical fitness, explosiveness and bounce power are not like white players, and it is only a matter of time before he can participate in the slam dunk contest and go to the NBA.In addition, Philip Reyes, Carlos Zimens, Carlos Capizza, and Big Gasol's younger brother Marc Gasol are also famous players in Europe with good strength.Sports media analyzed the game, most people watched Spain advance, and Chinese fans gave the Chinese team tips on the Internet, hoping that they could break through.Wang Jun read the information provided by the scout and knew that the time had come to test himself.The Spanish roster is not invulnerable, and they may make Yao Ming uncomfortable, but they are afraid of him as an outside scorer with range and power.s:
