Super League

Chapter 537 Little Slovenian Luca

In this World Championships, China's grouping is the same as in the original time and space, there is no change. .

The grouping of this World Championship is also the biggest highlight. I don’t know if it is intentional or not.

The Chinese men's basketball team and the United States are placed together, and the two super teams will face off on the same stage in the group.

This is also one of the biggest highlights of this World Championships.

In addition, Group D also includes Slovenia, Puerto Rico, Italy, and Senegal.

In Chen Xinglian's time and space, the Chinese men's basketball team has already begun to calculate the way to advance. After all, it is a group of death no matter how you look at it.

However, the team assigned to Group D in this time and space only had one thought in their hearts: "WTF!".

Why do we encounter China and the United States in the same group?
This has caused many teams to start calculating how to advance.After all, only the top three have a chance.In addition to Senegal, there is another team to be eliminated.

This time, China's other Hong Kong men's basketball team was placed in Group B. Group B includes Spain, Qatar, Japan, Panama, and Angola.

Japanese fans are quite happy.This group will have a chance to advance as long as they win Qatar, Panama and Angola, which suddenly makes Japanese fans excited.The Japan Basketball Association deliberately arranged the game against Angola in order not to spoil their interest in the first game.

The Hong Kong City men's basketball team in Group B has to compete with teams like Spain for rankings.After all, the Hong Kong City men's basketball team also has mission indicators.

The first game of the Chinese Men's Basketball Team was against Slovenia.

Slovenia is definitely very strong. There are five NBA players in the team, which is more than the Chinese team. However, there is no trace of happiness on the face of Slovenia's head coach.

The two teams entered the stadium one after another.

When the Chinese team came out of the locker room, the Japanese fans on the sidelines started talking.

"Si Gei! This is the Dragon Army!"

"What a strong aura!"

Today's Huaxia men's basketball team wears black and gold sportswear, and its tall figure really makes people think that it is a winning team.

Since Sapporo is the venue for the Chinese and American teams this time, many Japanese fans even came here to watch the game.

-

Ljubljana, Slovenia
A seven-year-old child is sitting in front of the TV with his father and watching everything.

"Dad, we can beat the Chinese team, right?"

Young Luka's words gave his father a hard time, but he still insisted: "Yes! Slovenia is very strong."

Little Luca stared at the screen with a halo in his eyes.However, he did not notice his father's sorrow.

-

This time Slovenia's five NBA players are mainly inside players, so Slovenia hopes to focus on the inside.

"On the Chinese team, only two players, Wang and Qi, are over [-] meters tall."

This is what the coach thinks is most important.Brezech in his own team is [-] meters tall, and Nesterovic is [-] meters tall.However, this can only be the coach's psychological comfort. In this World Championship, almost all countries will recruit their own NBA players, but the Chinese people don't care much about the more than ten Chinese players in the NBA.

Even Brezech, a Slovenian treasure, was shot by a Chinese in the Bobcats.In this comparison, what are the so-called advantages of Slovenia?

However, the Slovenian coach also talked about the pain points of the Chinese basketball world.

With the rapid development of the CBA, centers over [-] meters tall are still rare.The CBA drafts in recent years are dominated by power forwards. Most of them are under [-] meters tall, and centers over [-] meters tall are very scarce. Although there are many people in China who are over [-] meters tall, they are not Everyone can play basketball, let alone the CBA and the national team behind it.

However, Li Chunjiang also has his own ideas.

"Just pick up the speed later and don't let them have time to breathe. Three-pointers are our advantage."

The team members nodded seriously after listening.After all, this time the Huaxia Men's Basketball Team will be viewed as a small ball team in future generations.

The starting lineup was announced soon.

Mao Jun, Zhu Zhun, Qiao Yuliang, Lu Tao, Qi Shijian
As soon as the game started, Lu Tao relied on his abnormal explosive power to get into the lane.

Seeing no chance, Mao Jun took the ball to the frontcourt leisurely.

And his aura put a lot of pressure on Latovic.Today, Mao Jun wears a headscarf and a jersey that is one size too small, and his muscles are tight.Latovic naturally understands China's super point guard.

The next second, Mao Junren moved.Latovich trembled inwardly and wanted to follow immediately.However, the next second he fell to the ground.

Because he bumped into Qi Shijian.

Li Chunjiang brought the best pick-and-roll pair in the CBA to the professional arena.Although Qi Shijian does not have strong independent offensive ability, all previous national team coaches like to lead Qi Shijian.

Mao Jun seems to have a system skill in an online novel. After pick-and-roll, speed +10 and strength +10.He easily broke through the defense and got inside.Slovenia's inside line hurriedly made up for it, but in the next second Mao Jun used an extremely exaggerated European step to dodge the hurried Slovenian center Brezec and score a layup.

The Chinese men's basketball team scored two points easily at the beginning.

At this time, the faces of several white people on the sidelines showed sadness. "Mao and Qi need to pay attention to the pick-and-roll."

"Do you think Chris can stop Mao?"

"It's difficult to look at the physical data of the two, not to mention Mao has many years of professional experience. This kind of guy who plays with such passion is really difficult to deal with."

Next, the Huaxia Men's Basketball Team started a full-court press.

The full-court press was used at the beginning of the game. This tactical style can only be said to be the reason why the head coach is Li Chunjiang.This is Li Chunjiang's habit of giving his opponent a blow at the beginning of the game.

At the beginning, Slovenia obviously had not adapted yet. Although it relied on its excellent passing skills to avoid being intercepted, when there was not much time left in the frontcourt attack, it finally made a hasty shot and missed a hit.

"Quick! Quick! Quick!" Li Chunjiang shouted. In his opinion, the opportunity to counterattack had arrived.

Needless to say, this Chinese men's basketball team has already run away.

After several rounds of transmission, Qiao Yuliang received the ball leisurely on the outside, glanced at the basket, and then slowly released the ball.

A three-pointer was hit.

In less than 1 minute, it was 5:0.

"Hold on!"

However, the Chinese men's basketball team is becoming more confident as they play.The team's counterattacks are becoming more and more sharp.

Li Chunjiang requires players not to relax in defense.

"I hope to solve the opponent in one game."

Although it is unlikely, this sentence reveals the confidence of Chinese basketball.

In the next game, Lu Tao and Mao Jun cooperated, and the two completed a difficult alley-oop dunk.

Then Qiao Yuliang used a signature trick to break into the penalty area in disguised form many times and made a jump shot to score two points.

In less than 2 minutes, the score reached 9:0.

This is something Slovenia did not expect. You must know that this Chinese men's basketball team is not the main lineup. It can only be said that Slovenia still underestimated this team.

When little Luca's family in Slovenia saw this scene, his father even touched the ground with his toes. Just now he told his son that Slovenia could defeat China.

What if you, like your pig teammates, can’t do it if you don’t go? "Little Luca, they may not adapt to the climate in Japan, but they will get better soon."

-

In fact, Slovenia was really uncomfortable at first.As the game progressed, the team also began to score points.Especially the inside line started to exert force.

Obviously the lack of height does have an impact on China.

By the end of the first quarter, the score reached 28:19, which was not a big difference. There was even a scoring surge at the end of the first quarter.

But the first quarter offense of the Huaxia Men's Basketball Team was still impressive.Zhu Zhun, Qiao Yuliang and even Lu Tao all hit three-pointers.

Except for Qi Shijian, no one else in the Chinese men's basketball team would dare to let go at will.

In the second quarter, the team began to substitute substitutes.

Many players are showing themselves internationally for the first time.Wang Yeju and Ma Yunfei are both playing for the first time. In order to keep the team organized, they are paired with Hao Man.

Wang Yeju, on the other hand, went all out to attack.

No one expected that the biggest contributor in the second quarter was the somewhat unknown Hao Man.

Haoman made a contribution at the beginning. He got the basketball and passed it directly to Ma Yunfei who was cutting across the field. Ma Yunfei hit the ball in the alley-oop.

On the next goal, Slovenia center Nesterovic beat Wang Zhizhi hard.But when he was about to lay up, Haoman appeared out of nowhere and cut the basketball out of his hand.

After Wang Yeju got the ball, halftime passed in an instant.Facing the empty basket, Wang Yeju, who had a strong desire to perform, turned around 360 degrees and dunked with both hands.

But Haoman wasn't over yet. In the next round, Haoman gave the ball to Wang Yeju. This made the Slovenian men's basketball team think that Wang Yeju was going to attack by himself. However, Wang Yeju did pass a through ball to Haoman under the basket. Haoman relaxed Scored two points for hitting the board.

When everyone on the bench saw that this veteran with mediocre physical talent was so good, they immediately started to boo, and Zhang Luowei waved the towel in an exaggerated way.

This is Hao Man's role, not to show off the mountains or leaks.He can easily open up the offense for the team, which is why the Trail Blazers like Haoman.

However, Slovenia also has bright spots. A young point guard who came off the bench made a three-pointer and assisted his teammate to score at the basket.

This attracted the attention of the opponent Wang Yeju, and Wang Yeju was also ready to show off to increase the intensity of his opponent.

He looked at the thin young man in front of him and vaguely remembered his name Dragic.

However, he didn't take the opponent seriously and indicated that he wanted to fight alone.Wang Zhizhi and Shi Xiaolong understood what he meant and ran to the bottom corner. This forced Slovenia's inside line to expand outward. After all, Wang Zhizhi had already made 2 of 2 three-pointers, and Shi Xiaolong also made 2 of 1 three-pointers. middle.

Dragic was a little angry that the other party underestimated him, and he was ready to teach the guy who underestimated him a lesson.

However, the next second after Wang Yeju started up, he didn't think so.

"So fast!"

After Wang Yeju's crotch moved in many disguises, Dragic's entire center of gravity was moved to the left, and then came to the right in a disguised manner. Dragic, who was somewhat cramped, then reluctantly moved to the right. As a result, Wang Yeju hesitated and stepped again. Reverse.

Dragic was shaken by this sudden move and had to adjust continuously to stabilize his body.

However, Wang Yeju has already reached the basket.Facing the assist defense, he scored a sudden point to Ma Yunfei, and Ma Yunfei succeeded in the mid-range shot.

Horror!
The Slovenian bench was shocked by this operation.

"Is this the future of the Chinese people?"

Obviously, the future of the Chinese people is not limited to this.

The appearance of Yuan Yubo and Zhang Luowei completely made Slovenia give up its resistance.

A shooting power forward like Zhang Luowei can be said to be FIBA's killer weapon. Ordinary defensive opponents have to think about one more thing: whether they can follow or not.

However, Zhang Luowei had already received Mao Jun's through ball and easily hit a three-pointer.

Contributed two three-pointers in 2 minutes.

The gap between the lineups of the two teams in the game can be seen. It can be said that no one can be optimistic about Slovenia.

Trailing by ten points in every quarter, the game ended with Slovenia being blown away early in the fourth quarter.After the score difference reached more than 30 points, Slovenia withdrew its main force and announced its surrender.

In the end, the China Men's Basketball Team got off to a good start with a score of 110:92 in the first quarter.

When the game ended, the Huaxia Men's Basketball Team heard cheers from the sidelines, as if they were playing at home.

After the game, the Slovenian head coach said that his team performed very well and he took all the responsibility on himself.Obviously Slovenian basketball is discouraged by this defeat.

And they didn't know that little Luca, who was far away in the motherland, was already crying.After being comforted by his father, he controlled his emotions.

"Dad, I want to practice hard and beat the Chinese Men's Basketball Team!"

His father was a little relieved to hear Luca's words. However, after the US men's basketball team defeated Slovenia again with a score of 112:95 the next day, little Luca's words changed to "I want to practice hard and beat these guys."

Poor little Luca…

This time the US men's basketball team also showed good combat effectiveness in the group stage, which made them look significantly improved from before. Many American fans feel that this time they should be stable.

However, when they noticed that the Chinese team in the same group also defeated Seganel and Puerto Rico, although their faces were calm, they felt a little uneasy in their hearts.

The Chinese men's basketball team looks a bit strong this time!

Although the Italian and Chinese men's basketball teams fought to the end, they were always the suppressed side.Moreover, both teams are masters of three-pointers, but when it comes to defending three-pointers, the Huaxia Men's Basketball Team is even better.

In the end, Italy was defeated 108:99.

Then the Chinese men's basketball team faced its old rival Puerto Rico and showed its sword again.After Arroyo and others had been beaten in the Olympics, they could not escape again and lost the game 103:79.

But at this time, Arroyo already wanted to go to China. He wanted to continue to stay in the top league.

So this game was played very seriously, and I hope the CBA team can see themselves.

Basketball fans all over the world are now looking forward to the encounter between the Chinese and American men's basketball teams.

This game was even regarded as a preview of the finals.

At this time, both parties were studying their opponents carefully.

After sorting out the game data of the China Men's Basketball Team, Lao K found that China's three-pointers and defensive three-pointers were incredibly efficient.Especially for three-pointers, the team's shooting percentage is as high as 40.8%, while the opponent's three-pointers are only 30.1%.

"The Chinese chose this dangerous style of play without Yao."

Old K thinks Li Chunjiang is quite innovative, but he doesn't know that the tactics of the China Men's Basketball Team were developed at a meeting in June.

-

Kobe kept shooting from the three-point line at this time, and he was the only one in the training hall.

The time at this time was 06:30, and he had been here for an hour.

This has been his habit since he came here, and even his teammates were infected and started to wake up early.

However, Anthony said that he would never torture himself by getting up so early.

Obviously, no one in this World Championship is more eager to win than Kobe.
