Starting from the last bus in the NBA

Chapter 367 Evolution

Chapter 367 Evolution

In sharp contrast to the carnival of the Yugoslavia team, it was the lonely US team players.

Not only them, even the American fans at the scene, they couldn't imagine this at all.

The dream team failed to enter the semi-finals of the World Championships.

Well, this is reality, not a dream. The US team really failed this time.

It is estimated that in the next few days, American fans will slowly believe this matter.

No way, even if they lost to Argentina, don't look at the criticisms, but that's all news.

In the eyes of everyone, the US team is still very strong.

See how excited the Yugoslavia are on the field?

Not just because they won, but because they won as a challenger.

That's right, even the Yugoslavia team themselves think that the US team is stronger.

I don't know what's going on, today seems to be an unpopular night.

The US team was upset, and soon after, there was another news that Puerto Rico also lost.

Puerto Rico's failure to make it to the semi-finals is not really big news, after all, the strength of the team lies there.

Of course, this refers to before the World Championships.

However, in the group stage of the World Championships, as well as the rematch, the Puerto Rico team killed all sides.

From Yugoslavia to Spain, all the strong teams crashed in front of them one after another.

But who would have imagined that Puerto Rico failed to continue its magic in the crucial game of eight to four.

63:69

In the end, the teams that entered the semi-finals were Argentina, Huaxia, Yugoslavia, and Germany.

Seeing this result, Huaxia fans were happy, but also a little dissatisfied.

In their view, since it is already the semi-finals, it should be more formal.

Grouping in advance is not good!

It should be the top four teams draw lots, and then determine the final matchup situation, which is more fair.

Anyway, for Huaxia fans, the worst result is against Argentina.

As long as the opponent is not Argentina, it is fine.

Not to mention drawing the best opponent of the German team, even facing Yugoslavia, it is not unacceptable.

After all, they lost against Argentina but not against Yugoslavia, and it wasn't necessarily worse.

It's a pity that the FIBA ​​competition is obviously run by flower growers, and they can't control it.

The result has been determined, so prepare for the competition with all your strength.

After consecutive games, everyone finally got a day's rest, which is also time for preparation.

The top four players can rest, but the other teams are not eligible to rest.

Because according to the rules of the FIBA, except for Yao Ming who is the champion and the runner-up, all the rankings will be determined.

No, there was even a case of cheating twice a day.

It has to be said that even NBA players can't bear the intensity of the schedule.

Even, the risk of injury is greatly increased.

I don't know what FIBA ​​thinks, just for the tickets for these few games?

There is no need for this!

There is absolutely no need for the bottom four to continue the competition. For a ranking, it is estimated that everyone is not very interested.

If not, then extend the schedule.

8月30日开幕，9月9日打决赛，整个世锦赛竟然只有短短的11天时间。

To be honest, this time is a bit short.

In the end, Team USA didn't even manage to grab No.5 because they lost another game.

75:81

The U.S. team lost Game [-] of the World Championships.

As someone who played against the US team and Spain at the same time, Wang Hao found it difficult to accept this result.

Spain can also win the US team, so they?

In fact, in the group match against the US team, the Huaxia team had done their best without any reservations.

The same is true for Wang Hao.

At that time, the US team was really very strong, and it didn't look like they would lose at all.

But now, the US team has no heart.

I have to say that in terms of engaging with one's own family mentality, one has to watch the performance of the US team.

On October 9, the semi-finals kicked off.

Facing the Argentine team again, the Huaxia team, which is fully prepared, actually still has some chances.

Throughout the first half, under Wang Hao's organization and connection, the Huaxia team was fully fired and kept leading the score.

In terms of defense, except for Wang Hao and Yao Ming, the defense of the Huaxia team is not too strong.

But when it comes to offense, the Huaxia team is really not bad.

Especially since everyone can fire from outside the three-point line, it allows them to have more changes in tactics.

It's a pity that in the third quarter, Argentina took the initiative to change. They tried to cut Wang Hao and other Huaxia players.

To put it bluntly, it is to prevent Wang Hao from organizing the offense calmly and from passing the ball easily.

Even, the moment Wang Hao received the ball, Argentina immediately double-teamed him, forcing him to pass the ball.

In fact, in this case, the Huaxia team has more opportunities.

But the problem is, without Wang Hao's tandem organization, the Huaxia team suddenly became unable to play.

Before that, all they need to do is run, or mutual pick-and-roll screens.

Given the opportunity, if you can catch the pass, shoot it.

Even if the opponent's defense is in place, all he has to do is pass the ball again, and everything is clear.

But now, Wang Hao no longer holds the ball, which requires them to make their own decisions.

Shooting, passing, or breaking through?

As a result, the performance of the Huaxia team was a bit bad, either rushing to attack or passing the ball too slowly.

Under Argentina's high-intensity pressing, they made mistakes one after another.

That's right, Argentina once again seized the weakness of the Huaxia team.

One of the big problems of the Huaxia team is their weak ability to hold the ball and the defense of handling the ball is too bad.

Without Wang Hao, for a long time in the next game, only the point guard of the Huaxia team can handle the ball.

Others, think about Wang Shipeng, Li Nan, and Du Feng's possession of the ball, it is simply horrible.

Later, why was Sun Yue able to gain a foothold in the national team?

You know, he doesn't even have a chance to play in the CBA, and he is a team that wanders around.

But Sun Yue was once the country's main starter.

In addition to his defense, a big reason is because he can hold the ball and lead the offense.

Even in the international arena, it is often seen that Sun Yue dribbles across the half court as a point guard.

Regarding the shortcomings of the national team, as the head coach, Wang Fei is naturally very clear.

In fact, he has been looking for a change.

It is very simple to hand over the ball to Wang Hao and let others hold the ball as little as possible.

Either shoot directly, or have a clear pass target.

After the opponent rotates the defense, there will definitely be obvious vacancies. This kind of transfer of the ball does not require thinking at all.

But now, Argentina seems to have found a way.

Perhaps, they are not clear about everything, but they do know that Wang Hao is the most important thing.

Not just to limit his scoring, but even pass organization.

In the third quarter, the situation broke through, and Argentina even played a small climax of 11:0, overtaking the score.

Thanks to Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi's twin tower performances, the situation did not completely deteriorate.

But in the fourth quarter, the Huaxia team's biggest problem appeared again, lack of physical fitness.

Argentina firmly grasped the score and never gave the Huaxia team a chance to comeback.

Even, in the last half of the game, Wang Hao saw that something was wrong, so he simply didn't care about it.

Like to double-team him?Then double-team chant!

No matter if he was facing one person or two people, Wang Hao did not miss the shot and directly pressed the pass button.

Needless to say, Argentina was caught off guard, losing 7 points in a row to Wang Hao.

Teenagers Luis Scola and Manu Ginobili scored successively from one mile and one outside, stabilizing the situation.

Missing the last chance to counterattack, the Huaxia team also lost hope of turning defeat into victory.

I lost and missed the chance to enter the final. I have to say that I am still a little bit disappointed.

It's just that there is loss, but it is not painful.

Wang Hao is also very clear that the current Huaxia team can reach this point, which is already very good.

Of course, the strength of the Huaxia team still has a lot of room for improvement.

With Yao Ming entering the NBA, his strength will definitely be further improved, and then there are others.

It's not that the current Huaxia players are not good.

In fact, whether it is Hu Weidong, Gong Xiaobin, or even Liu Yudong.

At the peak of his career, it was at the top level.

It's a pity that they are not young anymore, and almost everyone is injured.

No way, the early physical training was unscientific, and the treatment of injuries was not so perfect.

Just like Liu Yudong, even though he is also playing with the national team now, in fact he has not played much in the game.

They failed to meet Wang Hao and Yao Ming in their best years.

Just imagine, if Wang Hao and Yao Ming joined the team in the 1996 Atlanta Olympics.

The Huaxia team really dared to touch all the world's top teams.

71:80

Argentina became the first team to advance to the final.

Argentina's opponents did not expect too long, Yugoslavia successfully joined forces with Argentina in the final.

While everyone was paying attention to the finals, countless people noticed another match.

The third place match between the Huaxia team and the German team.

Before, there was no need for the teams after the semi-finals to continue to compete for the ranking.

However, it is necessary to fight between the third and fourth place, because it is related to the third place.

Compared with the NBA, which has only one championship and lost the game, No.2, No.3 and No.4 are not much different.

Winner takes all, that's the NBA.

However, the international arena is different, including the Olympic Games and World Championships, the winner is not only the champion.

There are also runners up and third place.

The champion gets a gold medal, the runner-up gets a silver medal, and the third runner-up gets a bronze medal.

What about No.4?

I have to say that No.4 is definitely the most embarrassing existence in the international arena.

You gave three medals, why can't you give four?

As the saying goes, it is not terrible to win prizes, and it is embarrassing to be short of anyone.

Silver medals and bronze medals are definitely not as good as gold medals, but at least there is a psychological comfort, which is better than nothing.

"CCTV, CCTV..."

After 2 o'clock in the morning, it was already the dead of night, but in Huaxia at this time, countless TVs were turned on.

Some, even behind their parents' backs, got up from the bed secretly and turned on the TV secretly.

There is no way, the United States and China are separated by a hemisphere, and this time happens to be day and night.

When it is broad daylight in the United States, it is midnight in China.

"It's already past two o'clock in the morning, and there should be many fans and friends accompanying us.

Here, I must say a word of thanks, to the fans and friends for their support of our national team. "

Zhang Lili's voice also sounded: "The third runner-up, that is, the bronze medal contender.

For our Chinese basketball team, this is also the first time in the world, and everyone is very concerned about it. "

Seeing that there was still a while before the start of the competition, Sun Zhengping simply brought up a topic and had a chat with Zhang Lili.

"The director thinks, what is the probability of us winning?"

"First of all, in terms of mentality, we must have the upper hand, after all, we won once in the group stage.

It's just that the German team must not be underestimated because of this, it is also a strong opponent.

Puerto Rico won the semi-finals, that is the top team in the rematch, and its strength should not be underestimated. "

"The possibility of winning is not small, but we still need to be cautious and step by step.

Director Zhang, from your more professional point of view, what is the key to our victory? "

"The key is for other people to help Wang Hao share the pressure.

Everyone knew that if they had to double-team Wang Hao when facing the Huaxia team, the others would have to stand up.

Grab the opportunity that is open, and use the score to make the opponent dare not double-team Wang Hao wantonly. "

……

While the two were talking nonsense, on the night of the decisive battle in the United States, the foreplay of the final was about to begin.

The Huaxia team and the German team, the two opponents in the group stage, are now fighting again on the stage of the third and fourth place.

Now it seems that Group F, the rematch group, is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger.

Argentina has made it to the final. Although the US team was eliminated, there is no doubt about their strength.

Unexpectedly, there was another Huaxia team and the German team on the stage of the third and fourth final battle.

As long as the US team is a bit more aggressive, it will probably be a civil war, and the top four will be rounded up.

With the whistle of the referee, the game begins!

The starting lineup of the German team has not changed, and it is still the backcourt of Rohrer and Dimirel.

The small forward is Rodell, and then the twin towers composed of Nowitzki and Fleming.

Obviously, from the point of view of the German team, this is their most suitable lineup, which is completely worthy of the Huaxia team.

However, the German team remained unchanged, but Wang Fei took the initiative to change and changed the starting lineup.

What is even more shocking is that Wang Zhizhi was taken off the starting lineup.

It has to be said that after reaching the semi-finals of the World Championships historically, Wang Fei has gained a lot of confidence.

It's good to know that this decision was made before, but there was no news at all!

It was replaced by Liu Wei, who formed a double backcourt with Guo Shiqiang, who was able to transfer the ball more calmly.

The reason why Liu Wei was replaced was mainly because there was a person who shared Guo Shiqiang's ball control and offensive organization.

Where did Wang Hao go?

Wang Hao was assigned to the small forward position, and he targeted Nowitzki from the very beginning of the game.

Probably in the last game, seeing that Wang Hao defended Nowitzki so well, he simply used his big move.
