At 18:30 in the evening, the match between the Chinese team and the French team started.
In this game, both sides fought hard!
The loser goes home, and the winner gets the cards, so you have to fight!
Both teams know where each other’s strengths lie. The French team has Batum Diaw’s forward combination, while the Chinese team has Wang Zelin, who is a pillar of strength in the paint, and is also paired with someone who has an average of 20 offensive firepower per game in the international arena.
Yi Jianlian.
After the game started, veteran Zhou Peng's performance in the first half was very outstanding. Not only could he work hard on the defensive end, but he could also make random shots from the outside or hit on the counterattack, cooperating with the two inside attacks of Wang Zelin and Yi Jianlian.
At the end of the first half, the Chinese team was 43:38, temporarily leading the French team by 5 points.
In the second half, Wang Zelin paid special attention to Batum, the French team's arrowhead. Since the three-point line in the international arena is shorter than that in the NBA, Wang Zelin's defense speed is faster than in the NBA.
In this battle, Batum finally felt the tremendous pressure of playing against Wang Zelin.
Starting from the first quarter, the defense was everywhere, making it difficult for him to find opportunities to get inside to kill. As a last resort, he could only shoot from the outside in most rounds.
Sometimes, after finally making a cut, before I could be happy, the ball was nailed to the backboard by Wang Zelin with his backhand.
If possible, I never want to be your opponent again in this life.
These heartfelt words were spoken by Batum himself to Wang Zelin at the end of the game.
Batum played average in this game. He played for 35 minutes and scored 21 points, 3 assists and 2 rebounds on 7 of 17 shots, including 2 of 9 three-pointers. How could he make 12 three-pointers in the previous game?
8 heroic performance.
In this game, Diaw, who was on the inside, also encountered Wang Zelin's crazy attack, and performed his worst performance since this World Cup...
Played 28 minutes and got 5 fouls and left the game!
The other statistics are: 0 points, 1 rebound, 2 assists, 0 steals and 0 blocks!
But if you think about it carefully, Dior's performance is also expected.
In the national team, no one wipes his butt on the defensive end like Tim Duncan. Diaw is not only the core of the inside, but also offensive and defensive.
Including tonight, looking at the 9 games played by the French team in this World Cup, Diaw averaged 9.2 points, 4.2 rebounds, 4 assists, 0.2 steals and 0.4 blocks per game. He scored in double figures in 5 games, with a maximum score of 15 points in a single game.
, the lowest score was the 0 points just set tonight.
As a stocky insider with a height of only 2.03 meters, his three statistics of points, assists and rebounds have far exceeded the average data of players at the same position in this World Cup.
As the core of the French men's basketball team, this performance is not bad!
It's a pity that his height disadvantage means that his performance is always unsatisfactory when he encounters some teams with strong inside players.
For example, when we met Spain, Croatia, Egypt and Serbia, we only scored three points in each of the first three games. The last game was slightly better, but only four points.
Therefore, when the French team's inside and outside doubles, Diaw and Batum both performed abnormally, after 40 minutes of game time, the final whistle sounded at 19:56 after 86 minutes.
The Chinese men's basketball team narrowly defeated the French team with a score difference of 13 points, 94:81!
In this game, Wang Zelin and Yi Jianlian jointly scored 52 points and 23 rebounds, which was crucial to the trend of the game. Of course, Zhou Peng's three three-pointers from the outside tonight were also very important, which solved the internal pressure of Wang Zelin and Yi Jianlian well.
After a long 15-day journey and a total of 9 games played, the men’s basketball team finally set a historical record for Tianchao Nanzishan University and won the first medal in the history of Tianchao Men’s Basketball Team!
Tonight, many Chinese players rushed into the scene, almost filling up the entire Madrid Sports Center. From the first goal of the men's basketball team tonight, they have been cheering until the 19:56 midfield whistle.
The moment the sound sounded~~~
The scene is boiling!
The scene of the two old boys hugging each other with tears in their eyes, Dayao and Suzhou, once again gave Wang Zelin a huge impact.
Not only them, coach Gong Luming, but also Yi Jianlian, Zhou Peng and others on the side had tears in their eyes... Damn it, even if they didn't win the gold medal, the bronze medal was still a medal. Wang Zelin also quickly joined the celebration.
…
…
…
The news of winning the French team spread instantly, and domestic fans were as happy as the Chinese New Year.
First, because they won the bronze medal in the World Cup, they became the third strongest team in the world basketball world. This is an achievement that the men's basketball team has never achieved in so many years;
Secondly, it was because of Wang Zelin's various inhuman performances in this World Cup that they saw the infinite possibilities of the men's basketball team in the future.
You know, Wang Zelin is only in his early twenties now.
Who can be sure that he will not become stronger in the Olympic Games two years later; in another World Cup four years later, under his leadership, the men's basketball team may not lose hope of winning the gold medal.
This World Cup not only allowed all fans to see the progress of the Tianchao men's basketball team, but also gradually made them believe that this men's basketball team is expected to be on top of the world in the future!
On this day, all Tianchao fans are as excited as the Chinese New Year. It can almost be described as a national celebration.
In the commentary box, Director Zhang Li stood up excitedly:
"In this World Cup, under the leadership of Wang Zelin, the Chinese men's basketball team reached unprecedented heights! We broke into third place in the world and won the bronze medal!"
Teacher Yu Jia beside him was gushing water without realizing it, and kept muttering:
"Bronze medal! Bronze medal..."
The Chinese team’s bench.
"Thanks for your hard work!"
Dayao patted Wang Zelin on the back and said.
"hey-hey……"
Wang Zelin scratched his head, looked at Su Su beside Dayao and suddenly asked: "Su Su, do you regret it now? I told you not to retire so early..."
"Fuck, you kid, you really don't want to pick up the pot." He scolded with a smile, and then replied with emotion: "I regret it, this time I really regret it!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Dayao and Wang Zelin looked at each other and laughed loudly.
However, as they laughed and laughed, each other's eyes were wet with tears again.
Being third in the world is not easy!
…
…
Another two hours passed.
The World Cup men's basketball final is over.
As the first final after the World Championships was renamed the World Cup, both final teams have attracted much attention.
Unfortunately, Serbia, which reached the final, only played well in the first 3 minutes, while the Dream 11 team performed poorly in these 3 minutes.
After that, Meng Shiyi quickly entered the state and finally defeated the opponent with overwhelming force.
129:92!
The American team defeated the Serbian team and unexpectedly won the first place in the world!
Irving, who played well in this game, made 6 of 6 three-pointers, contributed a team-high 26 points, and was named the best of the game!
If nothing else goes wrong, he will win the World Cup finals MVP.
After the finals, the new world rankings came out, with the United States first, Serbia second, China third, and France fourth...
This World Cup is destined to remain in the memory of countless Chinese basketball fans forever.
The scene of Wang Zelin and Dayao hugging each other after the game is like a torch inheritance and will become a classic memory in the minds of Chinese basketball.
