The Chinese team serves. The ball is controlled by Sun Yue, who comes on the bench.

Wang Hao still has a very deep impression of Sun Yue. Of course, it's not because Sun Yue won a championship with the Lakers, but because Sun Yue dared to fight hard in the international arena.

Sun Yue, who is 205cm tall, is not at a disadvantage against anyone in Italy. Italy's tallest player is only 207cm and has not yet played.

Taking advantage of his height advantage, he directly passed the ball to Wang Hao inside.

Wang Hao, who had been practicing his "Dream Dance" all summer, finally got the chance to use him.

For the new NBA champion, the Italian team did not pay enough attention and still sent people to defend alone.

If you don't pay attention to it, you will naturally suffer a loss.

Wang Hao, who caught the ball, used a fake pass to successfully avoid Belinelli's double-team, forcing Belinelli to return to the outside and stare at his man. After all, the Chinese team's basket is still somewhat accurate.

.

Without double-teaming, Wang Hao would naturally not be polite.

Lean in again tentatively.

Bang!!!

The tentative impact did not result in success. However, the Italian team member Wang Hao probably tested out his strength.

Bang!!!

No longer as gentle as the last time, Wang Hao directly pushed the Italian team member's center of gravity away with the second blow.

Strike while the iron is hot.

The third impact followed, and the Italian player, who had lost his center of gravity, was directly pushed back by Wang Hao and took a big step back.

Faced with such an opportunity, Wang Hao will naturally not be soft-hearted and will dunk hard when he gets the ball. However, Wang Hao missed one point. This is an international arena, not the NBA or the NCAA. There is no defensive three seconds here. In other words, the center can completely play in the paint.

Stand.

The Italian center's delay successfully disrupted Wang Hao's rhythm. When he wanted to jump, the Italian players were already surrounding him.

Wang Hao, who had no choice but to collect the ball, made a half-turn feint, and the ball passed behind his head and into the hands of Wang Shipeng on the outside.

Wang Shipeng was stunned for a moment after receiving the ball, then made a slight adjustment and shot a three-pointer.

The goal was scored. Score 45:40

Wang Shipeng's three-pointer allowed the Chinese team to regain confidence from the outside.

Although their physical fitness is not as good as that of European and American teams, in terms of shooting alone, Chinese players are not inferior to them. It is natural for such a big point guard Wang Shipeng to hit a three-pointer.

As for the "dream dance steps", Wang Hao said, "It's not important, it's really not important."

"The opponent can push away as soon as he exerts his strength, so why do he do all those bells and whistles? How embarrassing would it be if he made a mistake?"

Without Yao Ming on the court, Wang Zhizhi's dominance in the paint was not enough to scare the Italian team.

Basile on the outside frequently attacks the Chinese team's inside line. Although he does not succeed every time, as long as there is help in defense, Basile can always accurately pass the ball to the hands of his free teammates.

At the end of the first half, Wang Hao came on the stage and assisted Wang Shipeng for a goal and scored a three-pointer himself. The Italian team made three three-pointers. The score became 48:49 and the Chinese team was one point behind.

During the intermission, Wang Hao put forward the idea of ​​a five-major lineup. It is a lineup of center Yao Ming, power forward Wang Zhizhi, small forward Yi Jianlian, point guard Wang Hao, and point guard Sun Yue. The shortest of the five, Sun Yue, is 205cm and the tallest.

Yao Ming 226cm.

After everyone’s analysis, this lineup was feasible. Director Gong immediately made the decision and used the lineup in the third quarter.

Specifically, it means playing positional warfare, holding high and hitting high. Wang Hao, Yi Jianlian, and Sun Yue, the three who can run and jump, are responsible for chasing and defending fast breaks. If Italy and China are playing positional warfare.

"hehe.".

"As long as you raise your head, it's all hands.".

Of course, if Pat Riley were here, he would probably say "a close friend" to Director Gong in his heart.

This is the future direction of basketball envisioned by Riley. Wang Hao plagiarized it in advance and just modified it.

The second half of the game begins.

Coach Zhang and Teacher Su Qun, who have been analyzing the first half of the game for fans, immediately got the Chinese team's second half lineup.

The two people, who originally thought it was a prank, became uneasy after seeing that the Chinese team really sent out its "big five" lineup in the second half.

"Teacher Zhang, what do you think of the Chinese team's lineup?" Su Qun, who no longer knew how to express himself, had to throw the blame to Teacher Zhang.

"Haha! You see, the Chinese team's lineup is completely taking advantage of Italy's shortcomings. I am taller than you, and the first thing you see when you raise your hand is the defensive player's hand. And if you want to play fast, I will

Playing position with you, we have Yao Ming anyway." I have to say that teacher Zhang Lili has a really deep understanding of basketball, and he is worthy of the name of China's Pippen.

Facing such a magical lineup, the Italian players were no longer calm.

"I know you are Chinese. I know you are tall, but you can't play like this?". At this time, the truest reflection of the Italian team members' hearts was, to put it simply, "mmp".

The only drawback of this lineup is that if the Chinese team cannot guarantee rebounds, the Italian team will frequently play fast breaks. Physical exhaustion is a huge problem.

Of course, Wang Hao, who has a monster physique, may not feel it, but for Yao Ming, who has been fighting in the NBA for a season, it is a big problem. This is only the first group match.

Looking at Yao Ming on the inside, Wang Hao secretly swore in his heart: "If there is a physical problem as expected, Wang Hao will take over the game. No matter whether he wins or loses, Yao Ming cannot be allowed to shoot out all the bullets in the first game."

Looking at the five Great Walls of the Chinese team, the Italian team resisted and felt aggrieved.

"It's so fucking bullying."

"It is said that a weak country cannot have diplomacy. We, Italy, are a small country but not big."

No matter how much you resist, the game will continue.

Don't think about the inside line. The inside line guarded by Yao Ming is the penalty area, not to mention that there are Yi Jianlian and Wang Zhizhi nearby. As for the outside line, the half-time game also let them know that Wang Hao is not easy to mess with, so they can only put this tall and thin Chinese

The defender is the breakthrough point.

Sun Dasheng was underestimated. Sun Dasheng in the international competition was the "Great Sage" before he became a Buddha. He was very irritable.

If we talk about physical condition, Sun Yue may really be inferior to Basile. As a veteran of the Italian national team, Basile is not only old, he also has rich experience and excellent physical condition.

The smart Basile used his advantages of speed and strength to break through Sun Yue's defense. However, although he broke through, Sun Yue could still keep up. After all, with a height of 205cm, his stride was definitely big enough.

Sun Yue followed Basile closely.

As soon as Basile entered the inside line, he noticed something unusual. Seeing that Yao Ming was already coming to cover the defense in front of him, Basile still wanted to move the ball as he saw it.

However, this time he was about to score the ball. He finally knew where this unusual breath came from.

Basile, who was trying to score the ball, was sandwiched between Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi like hamburgers. Behind him, Sun Yue was watching eagerly.

"How can you pass the ball?".

"This damn guy is passing the ball."

When I looked up, all I could see was Chinese red. I couldn't see the position of my teammates at all. As for throwing them blindly?

Basile was sure that the three Great Walls of China would stop the ball as soon as he released it.

Helpless, Basile could only pass the ball by hitting the ground according to memory and pray that his teammates would catch the ball.

Basile remembered correctly, there was indeed a teammate in the direction he passed the ball. But unfortunately, his teammate was stuck behind Wang Hao. Wang Hao easily picked up the ball.

How could Wang Hao miss this opportunity to show off his dunk in front of a national audience?

Wang Hao picked up the ball and immediately started charging. At this moment, Wang Hao only had eyes for the Italian team's basket.

“Let’s see the Chinese team’s fast break and Wang Hao holds the ball.”.

"He left everyone behind. How will he finish this offense?".

"Oh! Hoho, you know Wang Hao won't complete the attack so easily. Look at the position where he took off, and his feet just stepped on the free throw line." Director Zhang's excited three consecutive sentences gave Su Qun next to him a chance to interrupt.

None.

"Yes, Wang Hao's dunk greatly boosted the morale of the Chinese team." After Director Zhang finished his excitement, Su Qun dared to say something weakly.

At this time, the barrage watching the live broadcast was also full of people.

"Chinese flying people don't explain."

"The title of Number One Scholar is truly deserved."

"Wang Hao is awesome, the tyrant is awesome."

“+1 upstairs”

"Upstairs +10086".

Wang Hao's dunk from the free throw line completely introduced Chinese fans to this Chinese boy who grew up in the United States. His strength has attracted a wave of fans.

The score was 50:49. The Chinese team took the lead.

Italy serves.

Basile, who had suffered a loss, did not dare to play inside again. He passed the ball back and forth from the outside looking for opportunities.

However, the Chinese team's outside defense is not a vegetarian. Although Sun Yue is not strong, you can't stop him from running fast and jumping high. The most important thing is that Sun Yue refuses to admit defeat. You push me away 100 times and I will still dare to go up.

Tough on you.

The crazy roaming on the outside did not allow Italy to find a chance to take action. Finally, when the attack time was about to come, Belinelli forced a shot against the defense. The rebound was collected by Wang Zhizhi.

The Chinese team, which had stabilized for a while, did not have a fast break this time, but instead established its position in an orderly manner, and finally handed the ball to Yao Ming in the paint. Yao Ming scored 2 points with his iconic turnaround jumper. The score was 52:49, and China led.
Chapter completed!
