Almighty Athlete Chapter 398: Team qualifying
and Jordan's match result is not unexpected, if the Jordan team does not have such a high level of naturalized players, it may be the level of the second team of the national team.
The next opponent of the national team is the powerful Argentina team.
In the latest FIBA rankings, the Argentine team beat the US team to become the world’s first, but the current Argentinian team lacks their core guard Ginobili, the main striker Noci Oni also did not participate due to injury.
Louis Scola has become the absolute core of the Argentina team. In the last season's nba regular season, Scola has been promoted to the nba league's top power forward with 16+8 data. As for the Chinese team, in the position of power forward, obviously no one can hold Scola.
Argentina’s second scoring point is Carlos Delfino. This is also a player that Rockets fans are very familiar with. In the season just experienced, Delfino broke out in front and played his best season, 134 Three-pointers are also a career high. Although Delfino could not make up for the loss of Ginobili, but it can give Argentina a huge firepower supplement from the three-point line.
In addition, veteran players like Pulzioni, Gonzalez, Quinteros, etc., also continue to stay in the Argentina team. In general, although the Argentina team is younger this time, the game experience is very rich. The basic framework of the golden generation of the Argentine men’s basketball team was still there. If Ginobili and Nocioni were not sidelined, Argentina The team may really have a chance to overturn the Dream Nine team.
The starting lineup of the Chinese team is the same as the previous one, and no change has occurred. The Argentine side sent Scola, Delfino, Priggioni, Janssen and Gutierrez. In the lineup, Argentina has a clear advantage, but in the first quarter, the scores of the two sides have been alternately rising, and there is no gap. In the end, the Argentine team scored four points with Scola's last minute, leading the Chinese team by two points 22 to 20, ending the first quarter.
After the bench players came on the court, both sides fell into a scoring shortage. The Chinese team's bench scoring ability is more general, and they have not grasped many good opportunities. Obviously, they lack the core offensive and do not know how to play. However, the defense of this group of young people is very hard, daring to fight closely with the Argentina team, but also makes it difficult for the Argentina team to score points. In the first four minutes of the second quarter, neither side scored until Argentina replaced Delfino before breaking the deadlock with a three-pointer.
Argentina scored a 39-33 lead with six points to end the first half. This difference is very satisfactory for the Chinese team, but for Argentina, it is a very bad result, because the Chinese team, Both Zhang Guan and Dayao have not played yet. In the absence of the two main players of the Chinese team, the Argentine team only led by six points. Obviously, the Argentine coach Hernandez cannot be satisfied.
After the halftime break, Scola ushered in a big explosion. He almost swept the entire offensive of the Argentina team. With Scola's excellent play, the Argentina team widened the point difference to 15 points.
Want to recover the 15-point difference from Argentina, it is not an easy task, considering that tomorrow will have to face the German team, coach Deng Huad replaced the full bench lineup in the fourth quarter, So that the main players can retain more physical strength. Argentina also made adjustments immediately, and also replaced the bench lineup, so the fourth quarter became a substitute. In the end, Argentina defeated the Chinese team 74 to 61, and Scola also scored a game-high 31 points.
......
The front row of the coach, the German team's Ballman looked back at his team members and found that Haman, Greene, Agra and several other main players had fallen asleep.
Coach Ballman sighed involuntarily, and there was a trace of worry in his eyes.
This German team lacks Nowitzki. Naturally, its strength is greatly reduced, but the players are very hard. Like the Chinese team, it is also in a state of "playing chicken blood". In the first game of the German team, they lost 74 to 78, a slight gap of four points to Argentina; and in today's game, the German team struggled two extra hours, and finally defeated Serbia 82-81.
The strength of Serbia must be stronger than that of the German team without Nowitzki, and the two overtimes also showed the difficulty of this victory. More importantly, the German team consumed in this game Too much physical strength.
"The coach, the Chinese team really lost to Argentina, the score is 74 to 61, the Argentine team leads the game!" The assistant coach took the mobile phone and described the latest World Championship report.
"Did Zhang Guan and Dayao play?" Ballman asked immediately.
"No, they still continue to sit on the bench, the Chinese team is still a rotation of ten people today." The assistant coach said.
Ballman coach frowned immediately, Zhang Guan and Dayao continued to rest, which means that the two strongest cores of the Chinese team will appear on the field full of energy.
"Coach, you don’t have to worry about Zhang Guan and Dayao. Dayao had such a big operation last year. Even in our Germany, it’s impossible to recover in such a short time; Zhang Guan hasn’t played in two years. I think they may just be two mascots of the Chinese team, just scare people." The assistant coach said.
"Mascot? Do you really think so? That is two places, do you think the Chinese team will waste two places? For you, will Nowitzki be the mascot?" Ball Coach Man has several questions in a row, making the assistant coach more speechless.
"I look at the statistics." Ballman said, taking the phone from the assistant coach.
"Among the five starters of the Chinese team, the longest playing time is only 23 minutes, and the two substitutes have even exceeded the starting player. Is the Chinese team deliberately retaining physical strength?" Ball Man took a deep breath and felt more irritable.
......
The big screen in the arena showed the scores of the first quarter of the two sides. The Chinese team led the German team by 25-7.
Yesterday the two overtime games did consume too much physical energy of the German team. At the beginning of the game, the main players of the German team entered a dull state. In the first seven minutes of the game, they only got two points.
For the Chinese team, Zhang Guan and Dayao both made their debuts, and the offensive firepower comprehensively suppressed the German team.
Dayao played for five minutes and was replaced. He scored two points on one of three shots. However, the existence of Dayao is more to attract the opponent's defensive attention. And according to the requirements of the team doctors, Dayao's playing time in a game should be limited to ten minutes, and the consecutive playing time should not exceed five minutes, so coach Deng Huad kept looking at the watch. When the time reached five minutes, he called This time, Dayao was replaced.
For a player who has not undergone 100% recovery after major surgery, the first game can score a goal, which is a very good performance.
In the next five minutes, it became the time for Zhang Guan to perform personally. The continuous rapid breakthrough made it difficult for the German team to parry. Zhang Guan tore the defense of the German team with one person.
In fact, the German team’s defensive level is not weak, but it was just that it consumed too much physical strength in the game yesterday, especially the few starters of the German team. The reaction and footsteps were obviously slower by half a beat. Zhang Guan is powerless.
After Ballman replaced the bench, the German team’s defense improved. The bench's physical strength is more abundant, especially their backup center Tim Albright, who made a continuous jumper and narrowed the point difference to 10 points.
Albright is the star of hope for the German men’s basketball team. He is known as the successor of Nowitzki. He has excellent long-range shooting ability on the offensive end and good blocking skills on the defensive end. In the game, Albright also performed decisively. There was no performance of young players in stage fright. He dared to play and dare to vote. He had a new German nuclear momentum.
However, Albright is not a superstar after all, and one person’s excellent performance can’t get the team out of the downturn. Especially when Zhang Guan was put on the field again, the difference of 10 points was widened to 15 points again.
......
"Zhang Guan broke through, made a layup and scored! Although I did not participate in the basketball competition for two years, Zhang Guan is still in the same state as the Olympics two years ago. I think the world can only do Zhang Guan. At this point!" With the voice of the commentator, the third quarter has entered the second half.
The decline of the German team’s physical fitness is becoming more and more obvious in the third quarter. The most serious consequence is the sharp drop in the shooting rate. Even for the players who are usually good at shooting, there are several cases of missing open positions.
lacks Nowitzki, the German team also lacks a Dinghaishen needle, and even lacks the biggest bargaining chip for defeat.
Coach Deng Huade was originally planning to change to Yao again in the fourth quarter, but looking at the two sides had already opened the game to 20 points, Deng Huade still gave up the substitution plan. After all, Yao had not fully recovered Not suitable for too high-intensity games.
"This win, our group stage promotion should be stable." Deng Huade took a breath, this game can be said to be invincible, Deng Huade couldn't help but lament his good luck. If it weren’t for the German team and the Serbian team fighting two overtimes yesterday, leading to physical problems in the game today, the Chinese team will inevitably fall into a bitter battle.
The last three minutes, the German team also gave up the game, both sides replaced the bench, and the final score was also fixed at 82 to 64, the Chinese team won the second victory.
The German team with one win and two losses is not without chance, because their remaining two opponents are Angola and Jordan, which are also the weakest teams in this group. If the German team can win If they do, their record will reach three wins and two losses.
......
Under normal circumstances, there is a great probability that two wins can lock a qualifying place, which makes domestic fans excited. Although it is only theoretically ahead of the game, it is a small goal. Next, the national team should strive to get the top three, to avoid meeting with the American team in advance.
In terms of winning and losing relations, after defeating the German team, the Chinese team gained an opportunity. If they are all three wins and two losses, the Chinese team can be ranked in front of the German team by virtue of the winning and losing relationship. .
China's third opponent is the Serbian men's basketball team.
At that time, Yugoslavia was once the hegemon of the world basketball, but today Yugoslavia even split into six republics, but it still shows strong basketball strength. For example, in this World Championship, Serbia, Slovenia, Croatia, three former Yugoslavia members, all entered the World Championship.
Serbia is the successor of basketball in Yugoslavia. This is a more traditional European team. This kind of team often has a power center. Sevilla’s main center is Nenad Costic, the Thunder’s starting center last season.
In addition, the core of the Serbian team's backcourt is Milos Teodosic, who has been called the "Serbian Golden Boy". His position in the Serbian team is similar to that of Rubio in Spain. Teodosic once participated in the 2009 NBA draft, but lost, and then every summer an nba team will contact him, but every time he was rejected. It can be said that Teodosic is another top European defender who has not logged on to the NBA.
In addition, there are many players in Serbia who play in the NBA, such as Pavlovic, Radmanovic and Milicic, but these three people, like many NBA players, did not participate in this World Championship .
Although there are fewer fighters playing in the NBA, Serbia’s strength is still very strong, and it is also a team that is considered to have a chance to win.
In order to ensure the final victory over Angola, the Chinese team once again had reservations in the formation of platoons, neither Zhang Guan nor Dayao played. The Serbian team has done their best, and achieved a 16-9 lead in the first quarter.
There are no suspense in the following three quarters. The Chinese team has never been able to draw the score close, and the talented and tactical team of the Serbian team cannot be defeated by relying solely on "playing chicken blood". Especially when the Serbian team cooperates to play out ~IndoMTL.com~ can be said to be a little more blooming, and every player can score leisurely.
In the end, Teodosic scored 19 points, Kostić had 14 points and 10 rebounds in double-doubles, Willitzkovic had 15 points, Kathy Jie had 11 points, and Savanović had 10 points. Rasic scored 10 points, and Sevilla scored double figures against six people, showing the Chinese team the strength of their team basketball.
The Chinese team has not been frustrated by losing the game. The focus of the whole team's game is still on the final game of the group match tomorrow, against the Angola team.
......
On the return bus, coach Deng Huad received a call, and then a light smile appeared on his face. He stood up and said to the players in the car: "Gentlemen, I have good news for you. Angola defeated the German team 92 to 88, 4 points!"
"Oh?" Everyone showed a surprised look. Everyone knows that Angola has always been a weak team, but the German team can win the strong team of Serbia, but did not expect a contest between the two. The final winner is the Angola team.
only listened to Deng Huade then said: "In this way, the Angola team is two wins and two losses, the German team is one win and three losses, we are also two wins and two losses, based on the win-loss relationship, even if the German team finally won The Jordan team can only be ranked after us and Angola, which means that the German team has determined to be eliminated, and we have also locked up the quota for the promotion knockout! Tomorrow our game between Angola and winning will be the third in the group, losing Will become the fourth in the group and go to the first team in the b team!" (Unfinished to be continued.)
