Standing pretty old

Chapter 398
As a preview of the Beijing Olympic Games, the match between China Men's Basketball and Angola Men's Basketball attracted the attention of many China fans.

Even the Imperial TV broadcasted the Stankovic Intercontinental Basketball game live.

On July 2008, 7, imperial time, in the gymnasium, the Tianchao men's basketball team, which claimed to have won 19 consecutive warm-up matches, was doing warm-up exercises.

The reason why today's game has attracted so much attention is that apart from the fact that the opponent is the direct opponent of the men's basketball team in the group stage, Yao Ming's starting game also gave the fans too much expectation.

In the last game, Yao Ming came off the bench and his performance was average.

Although Ruan Erniu has become the new core figure of the Tianchao men's basketball team, Dayao is still the most reliable veteran of the men's basketball team under FIBA ​​rules.

The court station also sent a commentary combination of Yu Jia and Yang Yi to explain the game.

Yu Jia said: "Ruan Erniu is a rising superstar in the Chinese men's basketball team, but what kind of results he can achieve under FIBA ​​rules remains to be tested in the competition. Judging from the past few games, Ruan Erniu's performance is still very exciting. Yes. What does Yang Yi think?"

Yang Yi said: "I think under the FIBA ​​rules, Yao Ming's role in defense is still greater than that of Ruan Erniu. After all, FIBA ​​does not defend for three seconds. Yao Ming has an absolute height in the interior. It can be said that the men's basketball team is the best Strong guarantees..."

……

The host is talking nonsense, the game has officially started.

The jump ball candidates sent by both sides are not centers, but their respective power forwards. The Tianchao men's basketball team is No. 11 Yi Jianlian, and Angola's No. 10 Joaquin Gomez.

A Lian won the jump ball, and the ball reached Dayao's hands, and Yao Ming passed the ball to Liu Wei who was beside him.

Yu Jia on the sidelines took this opportunity to report the starting lineups of the two teams:
China Men's Basketball Team:

C Yao Ming No. 13

PF Yijianlian No. 11

SF Ruan Erniu No. 12

SG Sun Yue No. 9

PG Liu Wei No. 5

Angola men's basketball team:
C Eduardo Mingas 15

PF Joaquin Gomez 10

SF Leone Paul 14

SG Carlos Morez 6

PG Carlos Almeida 5

Liu Wei controlled the ball steadily across the half, and of course he was harassed countless times by Almeida, but his years of experience in international competitions made Liu feel indifferent to this level of defense, so he easily protected the ball. And wait for the opportunity to find a gap.

Regarding Liu Wei, he has been blackmailed by the Chinese media and fans for many years.

From a young man who was blamed to a veteran who was blamed, Liu Wei has always stood firm as the main point guard of the national team.

Many people said: "Liu Wei only gained a foothold in the national team because of Yao Ming's nepotism!"

But the fact is that apart from Liu Wei, Yangyang Dynasty can't find a second No. 2 position that can lead the ball across the frontcourt under the tight defense of European and American players. (Sun Yue can also, but basically he basically plays the 3 and [-] positions in the national team.)
When Liu retires, maybe history will give him a fair evaluation, because for a period of time, no second person can take the blame he left behind, and only when he loses it will he know that it turns out that taking the blame is also a technical job.

Liu can at least advance the frontcourt and make mistakes.

He can't even make it through the frontcourt, and keeps making mistakes and waiting for the goal. He really doesn't even have the capital to take the blame.

By the way, I have to mention that although Liu was not finally selected for the Sacramento Kings, he represented the Kings in the preseason after all. This point is also a scorpion shit in the national team-poison (only) exists .

If it was in normal times, Liu would definitely go to the low-level Yao immediately.

However, this time, the offensive routine of the Tianchao men's basketball team has changed. Liu Wei hit the ground sideways and sent the ball to Ruan Erniu.

Ruan Erniu faced Angola's No. 14 veteran Leone Paul. After a tentative step, he immediately pulled up a jumper and hit it!

It's a 2-pointer, the equivalent of a long-distance [-]-pointer in the NBA.

Er Niu found out that he is really suitable to be the No. 3 position in the international arena. After all, there are so many three-point opportunities, it is a pity not to shoot!

Almeida dribbled the ball across the half and sent the ball to No. 6 Mores.

Angola's two backcourts are far inferior to the Tianchao men's basketball team, but they are extremely fast.

Sun Yue's speed is not slow, but Morais still uses Gomez's pick-and-roll to break into the inside line. Before meeting Dayao, he directly hits the board with a mid-range throw and hits it!
Er Niu immediately concentrated his attention, the opponent's speed was indeed fast, which was not good news for the old, big and slow Tianchao men's basketball team.

Liu Wei dribbled the ball across the half court. This time, he directly sent the ball to Dayao inside with a nolook pass.

Yao Ming's huge body surpasses No. 15 Mingas in terms of strength and size.

After Dayao received the ball, he turned around and faced Mingas with a two-handed dunk, Yan dunked his opponent.

The gap is too big, it is completely crushing posture.

Even if Dayao had only recovered half of his skills, he would have no problem dealing with insiders like Angola.

A large size at level 50 and a small size around level 20 are not easy to grasp.

Angola's offensive end.

It was No. 6 Morais again. After two consecutive dribbles under the crotch, he rushed into the inside line, facing the double-teaming of Dayao and Sun Yue, and distributed the ball to Gomez.

Yi Jianlian missed the defense, and Gomez directly pulled up and took off after receiving the basketball in the open space.

Just when he thought he could easily score a dunk, Ruan Erniu, who came out from behind, slapped the ball on the backboard.

Er Niu's terrifying defense area is fully reflected in this ball. Even if he hits the third position, Er Niu can still retract the inside line at the first time to protect the basket.

After Sun Yue got the rebound, he immediately handed the ball to Liu Wei. Liu Wei quickly dribbled the ball across half court, and then...

Under normal circumstances, the standard configuration of the national team is nothing, because Dayao hasn't come over yet, and everyone has to wait for him to come up.

But this time is different. Now the national team has two bulls, and his ability to finish the ball in a fast advance is at the top level.

"Give it to me!" Ruan Erniu shouted.

Liu Wei then threw the ball high into the air.

In the past training, Da Liu once felt that Er Niu was joking, what does it mean to just throw the ball in the approximate range.

Partnering with domestic players for a long time, Liu's understanding of passing has been biased. He believes that throwing the ball to such a position in a fast movement can almost be regarded as a mistake, until Ruan Erniu said: "Let's give it a try." !"

So, after Er Niu performed five or six lobs, the training basket was directly destroyed!
Deputy Director Hu had a special talk with Er Niu, and before the new equipment arrived, they were not allowed to do this again.

It's not about cherishing the basket, but because they are afraid that Erniu will be injured because of dunking. This is a great loss to the men's basketball team.

And on the field at this moment, Ruan Erniu, who flew into the air, received this elegant pass, and a terrifying dunk with both hands completely ignited the passion of all the fans!
The audience present screamed amazingly before the game started:
"Ruan Erniu!"

"Ruan Erniu!"

"Ruan Erniu!"

……

"Team Tianchao!"

"Team Tianchao!"

"Team Tianchao!"

……

Angola is stopped!
They finally saw what an NBA-level superstar is.

Ruan Erniu opened his hands and raised them continuously, further promoting the enthusiasm of the fans in the audience.

This is not an ordinary warm-up match. The Chinese men's basketball team will destroy the morale of the weakest opponent in the group stage ahead of time.
