September 6, Ankara National Stadium.

Tonight the knockout match between the Chinese team and the French team officially begins.

At this time, the stadium was already full, and the enthusiastic Chinese fans suppressed their excitement and waited patiently for the game to start.

Not long after, players from both sides entered the competition venue one after another for pre-match warm-up activities.

After entering the stadium, Sun Yi paid special attention to the players of the French team and found that they were very relaxed and had no sense of urgency.

"I don't understand whether these guys are confident in handling the Chinese team, or whether they are completely ruined."

Sun Yi withdrew his gaze, shook his head slightly, and stopped thinking about it. The result will be known when the game starts.

After paying attention to his opponents, he looked around and found many players from other countries sitting on the sidelines.

Curry, Tyson Chandler, Durant, Billups and other Dream 9 players came to the scene to watch the game.

In addition, almost the entire Spanish team is here, because the team that advances tonight will be their opponent in the next round, and they have to pay attention to this knockout match.

Sun Yi quickly stepped forward to say hello to Curry and others, and then returned to the court to continue warm-up activities.

After a while, the warm-up activities ended and the players from both sides returned to the bench one after another.

At the same time, the starting lineups of both sides were displayed on the big screen.

The starting lineup of the Chinese team: Sun Yi, Zhu Fangyu, Wang Shipeng, A Lian, roughly.

France team's starting lineup: Rodrigo Beaubois, Pietrus, Batum, Diaw, Mahinmi.

Judging from the lineup on paper, the French team's starting lineup is indeed much stronger than the Chinese team. These five players are all active NBA players and have strong personal abilities.

But with such a luxurious lineup, it almost didn't make it to the knockout rounds, which is really puzzling.

Isn't it because the French team is missing Tony Parker, a world-class defender, that the French team can no longer play, and its overall strength has dropped significantly.

It seems that having a good point guard to connect the team is very important.

The referee blew the whistle and signaled the players from both sides to come to the center circle and prepare for the jump ball.

After the starting players from both sides came to the center circle and were ready, the referee blew the whistle again and threw the ball into the air.

Amid the cheers and shouts of the fans in the audience, the knockout match officially began.

In the jump ball session, Mahinmi took off hard and hit the basketball first and moved back to the backcourt, giving the French team the first opportunity to attack.

Boubois received the pass and accelerated towards the frontcourt, but was intercepted by Sun Yi before he could take a few steps.

Facing the pressing pressure of Sun Yi, Boubowa was very confident that he could get past the big man in front of him, and immediately started to make breakthrough moves.

Sun Yike didn't give Bubova a chance to show off his breakthrough skills. With the bonus effect of the badge [Cut Ball Expert], he quickly took out the basketball from Bubova's hand.

After successfully stealing the ball, Sun Yi reached the three-point line as quickly as possible and chased for a three-pointer.

Bang!

The basketball bounced out of the frame and missed!

Although he missed the hit, Sun Yi rushed into the penalty area in time, jumped up hard and grabbed the offensive rebound.

After landing, he saw that the French team players had not retreated and returned, so he immediately flew for a layup and scored.

2:0!

The audience burst into applause, and cheers and shouts resounded throughout the arena.

The ball is transferred and the French team attacks.

After receiving the baseline serve, Beaubois learned the lesson from last time and advanced steadily towards the frontcourt.

This time Sun Yi did not press forward, but came outside the three-point line and waited for Boubois to arrive.

After Beaubois dribbled to the frontcourt, he passed the ball directly to Diaw, and then ran to the bottom corner.

Diaw is known as the "French Magician" and is the organizational brain of the French team. Through his command, the French team has achieved tactical coordination.

Batum took advantage of Mahinmi's off-ball screen and quickly ran to the right side of the three-point line. He just received Diaw's pass and hit a three-pointer.

2:3!

The tactical quality of European teams is indeed very high, and they work together very well.

The Chinese team sent a baseline kick, and Sun Yi quickly advanced towards the frontcourt after receiving the ball.

The players of the French team knew Sun Yi's strength and did not press forward.

Sun Yi successfully reached the top of the arc, observed the position of his teammates, found that there was no chance, and made a tactical gesture.

Arab League and Da, who were stationed inside, understood this and were ready to fight for offensive rebounds.

After everything was ready, Sun Yi suddenly started up, quickly made a large crossover, then pulled it up and threw the basketball in his hand.

Boubois is only 183 centimeters tall and weighs only 77 kilograms. It is very difficult to interfere with Sun Yi's pull-up jump shot.

A swish sound!

Hollow into the net!

5:3!

The audience suddenly burst into warm applause and cheers.

After scoring, the men's basketball players quickly returned to defense and did not give the French team a chance to make a fast break.

Beaubois dribbled to the outside of the three-point line, waved to his teammates, and made tactical gestures.

He was bullied continuously by Sun Yi. Everyone has a temper, so he decided to fight back.

Mahinmi quickly ran out and cooperated in the pick-and-roll.

Beaubois bypassed the screen and broke through to the mid-range on the right side. Seeing no one in front of him, he immediately took off and shot.

At this moment, Sun Yi, who was chasing after him, stretched out his arms and rushed over.

A big hand suddenly appeared above Bubova's head, covering the basketball he had just released.

After Sun Yi landed, he immediately took off twice to grab the basketball, and then passed it towards the frontcourt.

Wang Shipeng, who was on a fast break, received the pass, quickly rushed to the basket, and scored an easy layup.

7:3!

In the next round, Beaubois didn't dare to mess around anymore and passed the ball to Diaw.

In the high post area on the right, Diaw immediately raised his head high after receiving the pass, and then observed the position of his teammates.

Batum and Pietrus quickly moved without the ball to find open opportunities.

Zhu Fangyu and Wang Shipeng followed closely and did not give these two guys a chance to catch the ball and shoot.

Seeing this situation, Diaw could only pass the ball to Mahinmi to hit the inside.

Mahinmi, who was in the low post area on the left, received the pass and used his poor back-up technique to forcefully push towards the penalty area.

Basically, he tried his best to resist and refused to give an inch, not allowing Mahinmi to take a step forward.

Seeing this, Mahinmi leaned forward and then made a lame turn-over jump shot.

Come forward roughly immediately and extend your arms to interfere.

"when!"

The basketball bounced out of the frame and missed!

Under the basket, Arab League grabbed the defensive rebound, found Sun Yi immediately, and then passed the ball over.

Sun Yi received the pass and was about to speed up, but saw the French team players quickly retreating back, so he could only dribble forward slowly.

When Sun Yi dribbled the ball to the outside of the three-point line, he found that the opponent's defense had changed.

The player guarding him became Pietrus.

Pietrus moves at a good speed, and it does take some effort for Sun Yi to break through and escape.

However, Sun Yi did not intend to use fancy breakthrough techniques, but to directly confront the tough and solve the problem in the most violent way.

Seeing Sun Yi crashing into him like a truck, Pietrus panicked, worried that his small body would not be able to withstand Sun Yi's brutal collision, so he subconsciously moved out of the way.

Sun Yi didn't expect Pietrus to be so successful. He gave him a thumbs up in his heart, broke through to the mid-range area on the right, and made a jump shot with an emergency stop.

9:3!

Back on the court, the French players stepped forward to comfort Pietrus, telling him not to take what happened before seriously. This was just human nature and not his fault.

Pietrus nodded dejectedly, vowing in his heart that he would never give in if he encountered such a situation again.

It was the French team's turn to attack. In this round, they patiently passed the ball and did not rush to attack.

Diaw and Mahinmi played an inside-passing game.

Mahinmi received the pass and completed a two-handed slam dunk.

9:5!

Looking back, the Chinese team attacks.
