On the evening of August 4th, the Chinese Men’s Basketball Team faced its fourth opponent in the group stage, the South American powerhouse Brazil Men’s Basketball Team.
The Brazilian team's lineup is also very strong. They have "Best Actor" Varejao, "Brazilian Lightning" Babos, "the man who gave the whole league an egg" Nene and many other current NBA players.
In terms of strength alone, the Brazilian team is much stronger than the Kangaroos, and is the well-deserved second place in Group B.
This time, the Chinese men's basketball team still adopted the same strategy as in the last game against Kangaroo Country, leaving Wang Zelin to play in the second half of the game.
However, the Chinese players may have struggled too much with the Kangaroos in the last game, so their overall performance in this game was disappointing. Barbosa defeated the Chinese men's basketball team's perimeter with just one person.
As a last resort, Wang Zelin could only come on the court halfway through the second quarter.
As a result, I was once again troubled by physical strength in the final quarter, and my performance was not as good as before.
From the beginning to the end of the game, the Brazilian team never let the Chinese team catch up within 10 points, and finally won the game with 95:71.
Now if the Chinese men's basketball team still wants to qualify, the only hope is to defeat the last opponent in the group stage, the host British men's basketball team.
British football is very good, but the men's basketball team is not. The core of the team is currently led by NBA player Luol Deng. Unfortunately, it is still difficult to win, and it is at the bottom of the group stage with a record of three consecutive losses.
For the Tianchao men's basketball team, as long as they win this victory, they have a good chance of qualifying.
As for the host team, the British Men, this is a battle to defend their dignity. If they suffer four consecutive defeats on their home soil and lose face in front of their fellow countrymen, then their team is really not far away from being disbanded.
Although the current record of the British team is three consecutive defeats, most people still have a 40-6 view on this game with the Chinese Men's Basketball Team.
The fourth is the Chinese men’s basketball team, and the sixth is the British men’s basketball team.
There is no other reason than that the British men's basketball team ended up losing only one point against the powerful Spanish team, and only lost five points against the South American powerhouse Brazil.
Comparing the net points lost by the men's basketball team, it is hard not to be more optimistic about the British men's basketball team.
On the evening of August 6, the Chinese men’s basketball team will face the last opponent in the group stage, the British men’s basketball team.
On the one hand, they want to defend their dignity and not have their heads shaved, while on the other hand, they want to compete for the honor of the top eight.
British men's basketball team: Clark, Luol Deng, Freeland, Ryan King and Sullivan.
This time the Tianchao men's basketball team did not continue to be secretive and directly promoted Wang Zelin back to his position.
Just one word and it’s done!
At the beginning of the game, the Tianchao men's basketball team quickly entered the state. First, Yi Jianlian made a layup under the basket and got a good start.
Immediately afterwards, Liu Wei succeeded in a breakthrough jump shot, and Wang Shipeng hit a three-pointer from the left wing. At the beginning, the Chinese men's basketball team beat the British men's basketball team 7:0.
But the Tianchao fans who are paying attention to this game are not excited at all, because now everyone knows that a fierce start has become a norm for the Tianchao men's basketball team.
Only persistence is the way to go.
Sure enough, the worries of the Chinese fans soon came true.
Seeing that the Chinese men's basketball team was so hot on the outside, the British men's basketball team promptly strengthened its outside defense and achieved good results.
First, core Luol Deng stole the ball passed by Liu Wei to Yi Jianlian, and assisted Ryan King to hit a three-pointer from the outside, finally breaking the scoring drought for the team.
The game continued, Sun Yue attacked with the ball, and the defender was Luol Deng.
Facing Luol Deng, Sun Yue had no advantage and could not make any progress. Fortunately, Yi Jianlian stepped forward in time and set up a pick-and-roll. Sun Yue took advantage of the screen and chose to shoot quickly.
"Snapped"
The basket rejected Sun Yue, and the rebound was taken by Sullivan.
At this time, Wang Zelin clearly noticed that Sun Yue unconsciously rubbed his shoulders after shooting.
It seems that the shoulder injury has really had a great impact on Sun Yue.
Sullivan took the basketball and quickly passed it to Luol Deng. The latter rushed to the frontcourt with the ball and directly chose to grab a third, beating the Chinese men's basketball team out of reach.
"Whoosh!"
Luol Deng hit a three-pointer, and the difference between the two teams was only one point.
After all, Luol Deng is a ruthless player who can play a position in the NBA. He averages 15 points, 6.5 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game. Compared with the outside players of the Tianchao Men's Basketball Team, his performance is like a superstar.
"Sun, stop attacking with the ball, give the ball to Yi or King!"
Deng Huade on the sidelines shouted to Sun Yue.
In the next round, Sun Yue followed the coach's instructions and successfully handed it over to Wang Zelin.
Facing Sullivan's defense, Wang Zelin continued to exert force and made several clicks. Seeing that the position was getting deeper and deeper, he turned around under the basket and shook the defender's center of gravity, and then took the opportunity to hit a backhand layup.
9:6.
In fact, Wang Zelin had the opportunity to dunk, but for the sake of physical strength, he chose an easier and less labor-intensive layup. He must now learn how to better allocate physical energy.
Luol Deng knew that his team's advantage was on the outside, while the Tianchao Men's Basketball Team's advantage was on the inside, so they consciously increased their pace in order to drain Wang Zelin and others' energy faster.
After three quarters of the game, the two sides were still inseparable, and no one could easily widen the point difference.
At the beginning of the crucial fourth quarter, the outside combination of Wang Qi and Zhu Ba suddenly started raining three-pointers. Each hit a three-pointer to help the team lead the British men's basketball team by 8 points at 62:54.
The largest point difference between the two teams so far in the game came so unexpectedly that the British men's basketball team panicked and began to gamble on three-pointers from the outside.
It's a pity that not only can anxiety not solve the problems in the offense, but it will very likely lead to a worse situation.
The British men's basketball team began to strike frequently, while the Chinese men's basketball team began to consciously waste time, focusing on shooting percentage. Even if they failed to score, they still had to run out the offensive time.
Now the Tianchao men's basketball team has a lineup of one senior and four juniors. The player at the center position is Wang Zhizhi, and the other positions are Chen Jianghua, Wang Shipeng, Zhu Fangyu and Ding Jinhui.
As for Yi Jianlian and Wang Zelin, the former had to take a rest due to a foul problem, and the latter was physically exhausted. All the pressure fell on Wang Zhizhi.
Fortunately, Dazhi is always trustworthy.
I saw that he first showed his flexible footwork under the basket, got rid of the two defenders and then succeeded in a layup with a low hand.
…
"Clark, give me the ball!"
Just after halftime, Luol Deng reached out for the ball.
There was not much time left for the British team. After seeing that the tactics were ineffective, Luol Deng decided to use his personal ability to break the ice for the team.
For the dignity of England, this game must not be lost.
Despite his poor touch, he was still able to use breakthroughs to create free throw opportunities and break the deadlock for the team.
Wang Shipeng and Zhu Fangyu took turns to fight, but they still couldn't stop Luo Erdeng's killing spree.
Seeing that the score was chased to 64:58, Yao Ming couldn't help but shake his head.
The disparity in strength between the two sides is still too great. No one on the perimeter of the Chinese Men's Basketball Team can stop Luol Deng.
Perhaps Sun Yue was able to restrain him a little before, but now his shoulder injury has recurred.
Just when Deng Huade was about to replace Yi Jianlian and Wang Zelin on the court to fight for their lives, Wang Zhizhi on the court waved and interrupted him.
"this……"
Deng Huade felt a little embarrassed all of a sudden.
"Just wait a little longer, I believe it's roughly the same!"
Yao Ming made his position clear with one simple sentence.
"All right!"
Now that the boss has expressed his stance, Deng Huade can only put down his hand.
Although he may appear to be the coach of the men's basketball team, in fact, the person who can really call the shots is the big fat man in front of him.
