The opponents of the Chinese men's basketball team in Group F are: New Zealand, Germany, Argentina, Russia and the United States.
Only the top four teams among the six teams can enter the top eight in this world championship.
Each team will meet three new teams in the group group, and the group stage results between teams in the same group are still valid.
In other words, the Chinese team only needs to play New Zealand, Russia and Argentina.
The Chinese men's basketball team has already scored six points in the first round.
Teams that advance in the first round must win at least one game, which means they have four points. If they want to advance steadily in the second round, it is best to win more than one game.
But no one knows that the current goal of the Chinese men's basketball team is to win!
On September 3, the Chinese men's basketball team played against Argentina. Before this game, Group F had already played a game at the RCA Dome. New Zealand lost to the German team 64-84.
The other game in Group F is the game between the United States and Russia held at the Conseco Arena at the same time.
The American team seems to be competing with the Chinese team.
They won the game against the Russian team fiercely, 106 to 82, beating Russia by 24 points.
The Chinese team only beat the Argentinian team by 9 points, 96 to 87, and the game was very dangerous. They were almost overturned by the Argentine team, which scared Lu Yu into a cold sweat.
Ginobili is still too strong.
They scored 15 points in the last quarter and almost caught up with the score. Unfortunately, Lu Yu's three-pointer at the last moment completely extinguished their hopes of counterattack.
Lu Yu scored a huge double-double in this game with 32 points and 11 assists.
It also let Ginobili, who has not yet entered the NBA, know how powerful the scoring ability of NBA superstars is.
Yao Ming scored 11 points, 19 rebounds, 3 blocks and 2 assists.
The Argentine team seemed to have found a way to restrain Yao Ming. They kept going forward, making Yao Ming very uncomfortable. It was a bit like Lu Yu's previous life when Boozer and Okur of the Jazz defended Yao Ming.
Fortunately, Boozer will be with the Bulls next season.
After a period of adaptation, the team's offensive and defensive strength in the interior can rise to a higher level. You must know that Boozer is the kind of player who has played in college for four years and can seamlessly transition to the NBA.
Ginobili scored 27 points, 6 assists, 4 rebounds and 1 steal in this game. Although he lost the game, he was obviously not very convinced. He felt that Argentina had a chance to beat the Chinese men's basketball team, but today
My luck was a little worse tonight.
Many basketball experts also stood up at this time and said: "The Chinese men's basketball team is not that strong. The strength of the Argentine team is similar to that of the Russian team. The American team beat the Russian team by 24 points, but the Chinese men's basketball team only beat the Argentine team by 9 points. So
The Chinese men’s basketball team’s victory over the US team in the last round was an accident.”
Basketball is round.
Accidents are normal.
In particular, it is difficult to prove anything in one game, and the NBA championship team cannot guarantee not to lose a game in a season.
But this defense seems so pale.
Because that’s the American men’s basketball team, the dream team!
You must know that the dream team has never lost before. It is as easy for professional players to beat high school students to beat other countries, but now they have lost, and they have lost to Asian teams!
Needless to say, they couldn't accept losing to a European team, let alone losing to a yellow-skinned Chinese team.
Anyway, many American fans are unconvinced.
But the Chicago fans were very happy. After all, it was their Chicago star who won the game. As a result, many fans remembered, oh, yes, there is an NBA superstar on the Chinese team.
That's right, Lu Yu's strength has just passed his rookie season in the NBA, and he is already called a super giant by fans.
After all, whether it is from the MVP ranking or the final performance of the team in the playoffs, Lu Yu is far beyond ordinary stars.
On September 4, the match between the Chinese team and the Russian team once again slapped many basketball experts in the face.
At the end of the game, the Chinese team won 95 to 70, beating the Russian team by 25 points, no more, no less, and only one point more than the American team.
There is no such comparison among American basketball experts. China is playing against Argentina, and the United States is playing against Russia. How can we conclude that the Chinese team is not as strong as the American team, and that winning a game is a matter of luck?
Typical IQ problems, no wonder they are so bad at math.
At this time, many people remembered that Argentina beat Russia by nearly 20 points in the first round. In that game, Argentina defeated the Russian team 100-81.
Just because the Russian team has an active NBA player does not mean that the Russian team is good.
The strength of the team will ultimately be determined by the score.
All the dissatisfied fans who were dissatisfied with the Chinese team's victory over the American team were completely shut up.
In the game against the Russian team, Lu Yu played 30 minutes and scored 23 points, 9 assists, 8 rebounds and 6 steals. The 5 steals was also the highest number of steals in a single game at this year's World Championships.
If I play for another ten minutes, I might be able to get four pairs together.
Yao Ming had 13 points and 15 rebounds, Wang Zhizhi had 16 points and 9 rebounds, and the AK47 played by the twin towers inside had no temper at all.
What surprised Lu Yu the most was that the God of War Liu Yudong, who had always performed tepidly before, performed well in this game and led the substitute lineup to widen the point difference to nearly 20 points in the second quarter.
Liu Yudong also scored 20 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists in the game.
The God of War is just old, not dead.
Even the NBA stars in the American men's basketball team were defeated by the Chinese team, not to mention the Russian team with only the immature Kirilenko. Compared with other European and American teams, the Russian team not only has a small number of NBA players, but also other
The quality of the players is also worrying.
You must know that in other European teams, there are many players who are not capable of playing in the NBA, but are just unwilling to play.
There is a high probability that the Russian team will be eliminated in this round.
On this day, there was also a competition for 13th and 16th place. Lu Yu didn't pay attention to it. It seemed that they were Canada, Lebanon, Algeria and Venezuela.
Think about Lebanon, which was chased and beaten by the Chinese men's basketball team last year.
Now we can only compete for 13-16th place.
Who would have thought that in Lu Yu's previous life, he could be beaten by Lebanon to the point where he couldn't even make it to the semi-finals of the Asian Cup.
At the end of the defeat, the fans could only console themselves: "It's okay, it's much better than the men's football team."
Anyway, no matter what, the Chinese men's basketball team now has Lu Yu and has the strength to compete with European and American teams, even this dream team that has failed.
On September 5, the match between the Chinese men’s basketball team and New Zealand was held at Conseco Arena.
Conseco Arena is the home arena of the Pacers. As soon as Lu Yu stepped into the arena, he heard a tsunami of boos throughout the arena. Those who didn't know thought that Lu Yu had the same hatred as the Pacers fans.
Lu Yu was also thinking in his mind, it seems that I didn’t eliminate the Pacers, right?
He only found out after talking to Snoopy on the phone after the game that because Lu Yu had previously led the Chinese team to defeat the American team, American fans' attitudes towards Lu Yu were now extremely polarized.
Fans who value strength first think Lu Yu is awesome. I like Lu Yu as much as Lu Yu is awesome.
Another kind of fans who are a little bit racist or self-narcotic think that how could Lu Yu beat the American team? How could these yellow-skinned monkeys of the Chinese men’s basketball team beat the American men’s basketball team? If the NBA hadn’t trained Lu Yu, how could they have beaten the American men’s basketball team?
Can win!
Some fans even shouted slogans for Lu Yu to be naturalized.
Anyway, in the magical pure land of the United States, all kinds of monsters and ghosts can be said in endlessly.
New Zealand also failed to meet expectations and lost to the Chinese team.
The loss was not much, just 17 points, 112 to 95.
Lu Yu felt very hot today, scoring 47 points and 13 assists. He was just crazy. The New Zealand team played a typical Australian style, with fast offensive and defensive counterattacks and sufficient physical confrontation. Lu Yu felt good playing anyway. He likes to play with these guys the most.
There are rival teams to play against.
The match between China and New Zealand is at 5:30 in the morning.
After the game, the Chinese team was determined to advance to the quarter-finals with a total of 12 points!
After the game, the Chinese team players and coaches did not leave, but stayed to watch another game between Argentina and the United States.
Both teams have been confirmed to enter the quarter-finals and are likely to be the Chinese team's opponents in the next round.
Zhu Fangyu looked at the cheering American team members and curled her lips, and secretly cursed: "American fans have such damn double standards!"
Lu Yu smiled.
Yao Ming suddenly asked: "Lu Yu, who do you think can win?"
Before Lu Yu could say anything, Zhu Fangyu had learned to answer forcefully: "Of course it's the American team, is there any need to ask?"
Wang Zhizhi also nodded. He also believed that the American team would win the game.
The American team has lost one game to the Chinese team so far, and every time they beat other teams, they won by 20 or 30 points.
Yao Ming continued to look at Lu Yu.
Lu Yu shook his head: "Not sure, we can beat the American team, maybe Argentina can win too. We have played against Argentina, and they are not as weak as we thought. We have also played against the United States, and they are not as weak as they thought."
It’s so strong.”
Although Zhu Fangyu knew that Lu Yu was telling the truth, he still didn't believe that Argentina could beat the US team: "I don't think Argentina can win, and the US can't lose."
Lu Yu smiled and said, "If you don't believe me, let's make a bet."
"What to bet on?"
"If Argentina wins, you will practice a thousand more three-pointers today. On the other hand, if the United States wins, I will practice a thousand more three-pointers today."
"make a deal."
Zhu Fangyu reached an agreement with Lu Yu with confidence.
In fact, Lu Yu was not sure. Although he remembered that the United States lost to Argentina in the group stage in his previous life, who knew whether there would be any changes this time.
At the beginning of the game, the two sides started fighting hand-to-hand, and the score slowly increased.
The U.S. team quickly took the lead and carried it into the fourth quarter.
In the last two minutes of the fourth quarter, the U.S. team led Argentina by 4 points, 79 to 75. At this time, Zhu Fangyu laughed: "I just said the U.S. team can win."
Lu Yu shook his head: "The game is not over yet. Have you forgotten the last time we played against Argentina and they almost overturned it at the last minute?"
Zhu Fangyu was stunned for a moment: "It's impossible to come back every time, right?"
He is also a little worried. After all, the current score difference is not big, which shows that Argentina does have this strength. However, there are only the last two minutes of the game, and the ball is still in the hands of the American team. The American team is gaining momentum. Generally speaking, unless this is the case,
There is an offensive power outage, otherwise it will be difficult to lose the game.
Suddenly, the basketball in Reggie Miller's hand was cut off by Ginobili like lightning. Then Ginobili picked up the basketball and ran all the way. When he got near the three-point line, he didn't rush to the basket, but
Just brake to stop, raise your hand and shoot.
Whoosh!
Three point hit!
Zhu Fangyu was stunned: "Is this even okay?"
After this steal, the U.S. team's offense was completely cut off. The Argentine team launched a counterattack. Zhu Fangyu stomped his feet anxiously when he saw it. The U.S. team failed to live up to expectations. Even the free throws that were finally won by Ben Wallace were two.
Only one penalty hit.
In the last fourteen seconds of the game, Argentina only led the United States by three points, 83 to 80.
As long as the US team puts down this ball and then makes a three-pointer, they have a chance to take the game into overtime.
Ginobili slowly dribbled the ball from the outside. Reggie Miller leaned down and stared at him. Suddenly, Ginobili dribbled from behind and passed Miller's left hand. Miller quickly retreated.
At this time, Miller discovered that Ginobili took a sudden step back, retreated to outside the three-point line, and raised his hand to shoot.
He rushed forward quickly, and then...
The whistle blows, the ball goes in, 31
With Ginobili hitting the free throw, the game was completely declared dead.
87 to 80
After the Chinese men's basketball team defeated the American Dream Team, the Argentine team once again defeated the American team.
The Dream Team's undefeated streak of dominating the basketball world was broken one after another, which completely overwhelmed the coffin of American fans. When the American fans left the field, they were faced with boos from the audience.
That sucks!
At home, he was defeated twice.
The first time was the Chinese Men’s Basketball Team in Asia. There is still a reason for losing to the Chinese Men’s Basketball Team. After all, there are 4 NBA players in the Chinese Men’s Basketball Team. Among them, Lu Yu is still the star of the Bulls, and there is also an NCAA player. He will also be there next year.
There is a high probability of being drafted by an NBA team.
But losing to Argentina was a bit unacceptable for them.
This Argentina team does not have a single NBA-level player.
The only Ginobili, although he was drafted by the Spurs early, did not play a single NBA game.
Are NBA rules suitable for FIBA?
Can NBA players still dominate the world of basketball?
These questions continue to stimulate American fans and NBA officials. Lu Yu knows that the loss of the American team may intensify the changes in NBA rules next year.
With Argentina's victory over the US team, the firepower of American fans against Lu Yu has been diverted a lot.
Only then did people realize that maybe it wasn't Lu Yu who was too strong. Is there a possibility that the American team was too weak?
At the same time, the roster for the quarter-finals has also been released.
The games are all on September 6th.
They are: Argentina vs. Brazil, Germany vs. Spain, Puerto Rico vs. China, and the United States vs. Yugoslavia.
In a game, if you win, you will advance to the semi-finals, if you lose, you will compete for 5-8th place.
Lu Yu, who was supervising Zhu Fangyu's 1,000 three-pointers in the arena, didn't know that the Chinese men's basketball team's entry into the quarterfinals of the World Championships had already made domestic fans completely excited.
