  Chapter 753 Chapter 753. The last battle of the group stage

   With 4 wins and 0 losses, she secured the first place in the group stage ahead of time, and Liu Xiu was in a good mood.

   Unless the Chinese team loses the last game and the Italian team wins the Japanese team by about 110 points in the last game, according to the ranking rules of this World Championships, the Italian team can overtake the Chinese team and rank first.

   Liu Xiu is not the team's scoring leader this time. Yao Ming averaged 27.5 points per game in 4 games, not only ranking first in the Chinese team, but also the highest scoring average in the group stage of this World Championship.

  But in rebounds and assists, he still leads the team, averaging 16.5 points, 8.5 rebounds, 5.5 assists, 2.5 steals and 1 block per game.

  By August 24th, the Chinese team got the only one-day break in the group stage. The 12 teams that played first on the 19th did not have a game scheduled for today.

  The coaching staff specially gave the players a rest time in the morning. In the afternoon, they will prepare for the final match of tomorrow's group stage. The last match will be the European powerhouse Slovenia.

  Liu Xiu, Yao Ming and Sansha drove to Hamamatsu to watch the match between the US team and the Australian team.

  After 1 hour and 51 minutes of the game, the US team slaughtered the Australian team 103 to 73, winning 3 consecutive victories, and the record came to 3 wins and 1 loss.

The U.S. team won against Lithuania 95 to 89, and it was 102 to 58 against Brazil. Now it is also a massacre against Australia. The top 16 is locked in advance. Tomorrow, the U.S. team will compete with the Greek team for the first place in the group stage, and the Greek team has 4 wins 0 losses, but the net difference is not as high as that of the US team. The win or loss of the two teams will directly determine the top spot in Group C.

  The performance of the US team brought a lot of pressure to Liu Xiu.

  When the ball is in the hands of Hinrich, Anthony, Joe Johnson, Jamison, Brad Miller, etc., and there is no babysitter, the US team may really be the strongest.

   But the game is not just played by 5 people. The US team has a group of players whose style of play is not suitable for the international arena.

  After watching a U.S. team game with his own eyes, Liu Xiu intuitively felt that he learned more than watching news or watching videos on the Internet.

  This dream team is definitely not the strongest among the 24 participating teams in this World Championships. Among the 4 opponents that Liu Xiu has played against, the Italian team has the ability to wrestle with the US team.

  But let Liu Xiuxuan, he is willing to play against an opponent like the Italian team every game in the entire knockout stage, which is better than playing against the US team.

  The Italian team has almost no possibility of winning the championship, but the US team has, and it is still very high!

  …

   At 3:45 pm on August 24th, Liu Xiu and his teammates entered the Sapporo National Stadium again. There were 15 minutes before their match against Slovenia would begin.

  Liu Xiu, Yao Ming, and Wang Zhizhi came to the technical stage and exchanged pleasantries with Nesterovic, Brezek, Udry, Persian-Nahba...and others.

   After saying hello, Liu Xiu said: "How about it, does it feel like playing at the Rose Garden Arena tonight, everyone is here to cheer for me."

   At these words, several opponents were angry and had nothing to do with Liu Xiu.

  Not to mention the opponent, both teammates rolled their eyes.

But it is true that in the first four games, some fans of the Chinese opponents could be seen on the scene. The opening game was the most, and the fans of the Japanese team accounted for 60%. Many Japanese and Europeans came to cheer for the Italian team when they played against the Italian team. , Even when playing against Angola and Senegal, there are many black brothers and sisters on the scene.

   But tonight, the number of people who came to cheer for Slovenia may be clear on the fingers of the fingers.

   There were some white fans, but basically they came to see the Warden. Those people were either wearing Trail Blazers jerseys or holding signs supporting Liu Xiu.

   After a good start, Liu Xiu turned it into a provocation and mocked the opponent. The two giants were helpless, but it didn't matter, they got used to it.

   At 3:58, the game was about to start, and Liu Xiu received a reminder to copy her talent.

   "The Great Mage: Game Status.

   Duplicate objects:

  Teammate: Li Nan, trait conversion talent: Xiao Li Flying Dagger, bonus effect: There is a 30% chance to enter the hot state when taking pot shots.

Opponent: Goran Dragic, characteristic conversion talent: long drive (residual blood), bonus effect: if you choose to break through after the pick-and-roll, you will start at the fastest speed, if you choose to rush to the basket to attack the basket, layup +1 ; If you choose the emergency stop jump shot, the mid-range shot +1; if you add the step-back shooting technique on the basis of the emergency stop jump shot, the mid-range shot will get an extra +1. "

Liu Xiu's eyes widened. Before the start of the World Championships, he had studied the lineups of other opponents in the group stage. The Slovenian team was full of talents. The players were either playing in the NBA, or they had experience in NBA games and participated in the competition. The draft, being invited to participate in training camps or summer leagues, are the core players of major European clubs. Even if Vujacic, who is currently playing for the Lakers, did not participate in this World Championship, the Slovenian team is still the strongest team in this World Championship one.

When he entered the field just now, his eyes were on the 20-year-old Dragic next to the bench. He thought that Udrih, Brezek, Nesterovic and others really had nothing to copy Yes, just try to copy Dragic, good luck!

   As expected of a genius who will be regarded as the successor of Nash by the Suns in the future, the pick-and-roll talent and scoring talent are very good. Liu Xiu remembers that this guy seems to get a five-year $90 million maximum salary contract with the Heat in the future.

   After rubbing the chalk, Liu Xiu came to the court. The teammates who started tonight were still Wang Shipeng and Zhu Fangyu. The inside twin towers became Yi Jianlian and Yao Ming. The coaching staff arranged to increase mobility.

  The Slovenian team sent a starting combination of Udri, Sani Besinovic, Mark Mirik, Yunos Sloka and Nesterovic.

   At 4:00 p.m., the match between the Chinese team and the Slovenian team started.

  Yi Jianlian easily defeated Nesterovic to win the jump ball. Liu Xiu received the ball and quickly pushed forward. He went to the frontcourt and borrowed Yi Jianlian's quick three-pointer in the pick-and-roll...missed!

  But Yao Ming ran to the frontcourt to grab an offensive rebound, dribbled the ball and took a step, turned around and pushed Nesterovic back to the basket, and smashed the ball into the basket with one hand, kicking off the game.

  But immediately after Sloka supported the ball from a high position, Mark Milik ran back from the bottom line to catch the ball and scored two points.

Sloka, the player selected by the Raptors in the second round in 2005, continued to hone in Europe for a year. This summer, he signed a one-year contract with a basic salary. He is about to enter the NBA. His most outstanding ability is his high position Coupling and jump shots in front of the rim.

  The vision brought by the height of the inside players, if they have the ability to organize offense and pass the ball accurately, it will be of great help to the team.

  After the start of the game, the Slovenian team with multiple player ability evaluations between 80 and 84 played better offensively.

  But the Chinese team has Liu Xiu, Yao Ming, and Wang Zhizhi!
