  Chapter 757 Chapter 757. The curtain call of the former Southern Union

  After defeating O'Neal in the Eastern Conference Finals, Yao Ming's self-confidence soared, and he showed his arrogance when he disagreed with him.

  Liu Xiu still didn't look up, and replied: "I think so too."

   This made Yao Ming couldn't help grinning, the referee passing by looked up and almost gave a technical foul...

   At 7:58 p.m., the referee notified the two teams to start.

   "The Great Mage: Game Status.

   Duplicate objects:

  Teammate: Li Nan, characteristic conversion talent: Xiao Li Feidao...

   Opponent: Darko Milicic, match rate 15%...Trait conversion talent: boring gourd, bonus effect: if the host does not speak for the whole game, he will play more and more focused. "

   This matching degree is really low, Liu Xiu is really powerless to complain about the copied talent.

  What is this?

  But the opponent has no Peja, no Radmanovic, no Jaric... He can only choose to copy Milicic, but he did not expect such a talent.

   At this time, Yao Ming also came to the technology table to rub chalk, and said to Liu Xiu: "Leave the farmer to me!"

  Liu Xiu responded: "Well..."

  As soon as the sound came out, Liu Xiu's eyes widened, and he received a reminder that the effect of the 'suffering gourd' had ended.

   Turn on the system screen again, and sure enough, this talent has turned gray!

   Liu Xiu still had the same idea—what is this?

  …

   At 8 o'clock in the evening, the referee blew the whistle to start the game. Milicic narrowly beat Yi Jianlian and won the jump ball. Serbia and Montenegro went first!

  Chinese team starting: Liu Xiu, Wang Shipeng, Zhu Fangyu, Yi Jianlian, Yao Ming.

Serbia and Montenegro team starters: Mark Marinovic (183 cm, 81 kg, 23 years old), Bojan Popovich (191 cm, 90 kg, 23 years old), Mirslav Lejcevic (208 cm cm, 99 kg, 25 years old), Costa Perovic (218 cm, 109 kg, 21 years old), Milicic.

  Popovich ran back to the top arc to catch the ball and hit a three-pointer, which kicked off the game tonight. The passer was Perovich.

In the transition between offense and defense, Liu Xiu faced Popovich's defense with a top arc, chose singles, and after rushing to the right side of the free throw line, he took the initiative to stop his footsteps, leaned on Popovich, and knocked Popovich back a big Step, turn around, take off, shoot... all in one go, and hit the mid-range shot!

   "Bojan Popovich...ability rating 76, offense 81, defense 73..."

   It was Popovich who hit!

  The last time Liu Xiu encountered an opponent with worse defense than this was when he was playing against the Japanese team.

  When Liu Xiu was preparing for the battle, he decided to use the power of the west coast on the outside tonight...

  Three starters with a height of at least 208 cm on the opposite side are a bit silly to play inside. Although Yao Ming yelled that he was the number one center forward, he didn't foolishly go to the basket to ask for the ball.

  When Serbia and Montenegro attacked, Liu Xiu, Wang Shipeng, and Zhu Fangyu began to press up to defend, Yi Jianlian made up for the middle distance, and Jonas' defensive strategy was simple and purposeful.

Unsurprisingly, the Serbian and Montenegro team chose to cut into the frame. Milicic caught the ball and feinted Yi Jianlian, who was replaced by Yi Jianlian, and then rushed into the basket, flying to the basket..."Snap"...Yao Ming sent Milicic a shot Yao's Hot Pot!

  Perovic rushed aggressively and grabbed the defensive rebound in front of Liu Xiu. However, Liu Xiu was nimble. As soon as Perovic caught the ball, he was slapped by Liu Xiu.

  Popovich also rushed in to grab the ball. Liu Xiu elbowed sideways, stuck Popovich firmly, protected the ball, and pushed forward firmly against Popovich.

  Liu Xiu's steady advancing speed, Popovich couldn't find any flaws, so he could only withdraw and retreat quickly.

   No wonder the opponent is full of players under the age of 25... Liu Xiu complained, but didn't stop.

   In just two rounds, Svetislav Pesic, the first and last head coach of the Serbian and Montenegro men's basketball team, shook his head and leaned back in his chair, feeling deeply powerless.

  From the game to the situation he is in now, he couldn't help but sigh heavily.

  Assistant coach Milenko-Topic noticed the head coach's emotional problems and said: "Coach, we still have Darko, he can lead us to victory."

  Pecic shook his head: "It's gone, the dynasty is gone, we still have Darko, and only Darko is still struggling alone.

We need a world-class support man, we need a world-class shooter, we need a world-class point guard, we need the best center in the world...we had it all, but now it's gone, nothing, no more There was no great Union of Yugoslavia..."

  …

The oldest player in Serbia and Montenegro who can play more than 5 minutes per game in this year's World Championships is only 25 years old... In fact, because those veteran stars were unwilling to participate in the competition, when Persic selected players, there were only two players over the age of 25. There are only two people under the age of 25, and 8 of them are young people under the age of 25.

They are not strong enough, but they are motivated. They feel from the bottom of their hearts that they carry the glory of the two World Championships champions in 1998 and 2002. In order to protect this glory, they will do their best...even if the country they fought for is gone. .

   These were not seen in the stars of the Serbia-Mongolia team in 2004.

   But in the face of Liu Xiu's steady advancement and focused singles, it was useless for the Serbian and Montenegro team to actively rush to grab the shrinking defensive eggs, and could only be forced to attack Liu Xiu in a high position.

   If you pinch a player in high position singles, at least half of the defense will be useless!

  In addition to Liu Xiu on the outside, Yao Ming on the inside also made it difficult for Serbia and Montenegro to deal with it.

Milicic’s comprehensive performance in the international arena is not inferior to Yao Ming, but Yao Ming conserves his strength on the offensive end, devotes himself to the defensive end, waits for good singles opportunities, and does not easily take the ball in singles... Such a Yao Ming, Milicic can’t deal with it. , he really felt that it was better to defend against Yao Ming one-on-one in the low post.

  Despite the hard work of the Serbian and Montenegro teams, the Chinese team took a 7-point lead 21 to 14 in the first quarter.

  After gaining the advantage, the Chinese team played more and more steadily, and they were not at all arrogant and fraught because of the lead. Liu Xiu, who was focused, showed his steady team leadership style.

  The score was 22 to 19 in the second quarter, 26 to 22 in the third quarter, and 18 to 20 in the fourth quarter.

Relying on Liu Xiu's 29 points, 6 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 steals, Yao Ming's 12 points, 11 rebounds, 2 assists and 4 blocks, Zhu Fangyu's 11 points, 3 rebounds and 1 block, Wang Zhizhi's 9 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists... The Chinese team defeated 87-75 Serbia and Montenegro!

  The final whistle sounded, and Liu Xiu received the game scoring reminder.

   "Competition score...comprehensive score A-, congratulations to the host for being rewarded with 1500 healing value."

  The overall performance was good. Although there were no bright spots, they won the game steadily and advanced to the top 8.

  Yao Ming, one of the two super centers, went to accept the post-match interview. Liu Xiu wanted to leave, but saw Milicic sitting alone in front of the technical stage...

  Although Milicic scored 23 points, 12 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks tonight, he only made 8 of 24 shots. Although Yao Ming only took 9 shots tonight and did not score much, he defeated Milicic in his own way.

   Milicic couldn’t stop crying... After being eliminated from the playoffs, he joined Serbia and Montenegro’s training team to prepare for the World Championships. Who knew that the country was disbanded!

He hardened up so rarely that other NBA stars and seniors who played in Europe were unwilling to step into the muddy waters of the Yugoslav League. Everyone has become a capitalist. He is not afraid of these, and resolutely chooses to continue leading the team to the World Championships...But It can only go so far, and it will no longer be able to represent this country in the game.

  Crying, Milicic felt that the lights seemed to be dimmed, and looked up... He was so scared that he jumped back and pushed back the technical platform behind him.

  The brutal warden!

But at this time, the warden smiled and did not open his mouth to taunt, but said: "You are very strong, I remember you are from Serbia, and there are many powerful players in Serbia. I hope to see you in BJ two years later." you…"
