I'm really good at shooting.

Chapter 487
Turkey's strength is good, but facing Spain, they fell behind at the beginning and did not find any good opportunities in the game.

Spain is also famous for its efforts in the knockout rounds of the group stage.

They were thrilling to win a few games in the group stage, but in the knockout stage they fully exerted themselves, just like two teams.

Gasol and Navarro opened fire inside and outside, and the Turks were beaten.

After finally making it through more than half a quarter, I thought I would be able to breathe a sigh of relief when it came to the transition from the bench.

Unexpectedly, the double gun firepower of Fernandez and Rodriguez who came off the bench is even more fierce!
Throughout the game, the Spanish team maintained a 15-20 point difference after opening the score, and finally defeated the Turkish team 87 to 72, and won the first quarter-finals seat.

Gasol contributed a team-high 19 points and 15 rebounds.

The second most scored is Fernandez from the bench, he scored 18 points!
Fernandez's style of play is not quite the same as the rest of the Spanish team's technical style. His style of play can be called "violent style".

Going bald is a dunk, and flying a fast break is a pull.

This guy doesn't look particularly strong, but he really likes to dunk, and he dunks very well.

He's more of a dunker.

This is very different from the way he played in the youth team.

Moreover, his personal ability is excellent, and the combination of sudden shots is perfect, which is much better than Bruton and his ilk.

Sun Hao also had a new understanding of Fernandez's current style of play after watching it.

He suddenly felt that it wouldn't be a loss if the Lakers could really pick him up?

If he remembers correctly, Fernandez was only a second-round pick in history because of his thin body?

After the match between Spain and Turkey, China and Germany will follow.

The last time the Sino-German battle took place was four years ago, and that time was also the World Championships.

The rising Chinese team and the fiery German team met in the third and fourth finals.

The winner gets the first medal in the history of the national team, and the loser gets nothing.

In the end, the Chinese team successfully won the bronze by virtue of the advantage of "two against one".

Four years later, the two teams met again, and things were different.

The Chinese team reached its peak four years later, while the German team stagnated, and even regressed a bit because of Nowitzki's state.

One ebb and flow, the result of this game can be imagined.

Although Nowitzki's state has recovered and scored 26 points, but this time he was beaten to death with four, five, six, seven and eight fists.

91 to 71, five players from the Chinese team scored in double figures and won easily.

In the fourth quarter, Sun Hao had already left the game early to drink tea.

But looking at the old driver who is still trying to help the team chase points on the field, the tea in his hand suddenly doesn't feel so healthy.

You must know that the Dallas Tridents showed their love together back then, and now he and Nash are at their peak, but the old driver...

Why don't you wait for O'Neal to retire, and try to get Kupchak to sign the old driver to resume the front line?
After thinking about it, Sun Hao shook his head again.

Nowitzki's character is like the two of them chatting before, and he said that he would not take the initiative to ask Cuban for anything.

It's also like in history that he played one man, one city in the Mavericks throughout his career.

How could such a player... surrender to the enemy?

However, Nowitzki already has a championship in his hand as in history, and it is not too regrettable.

I just hope that the rest of my career, the old driver can live a little happier!

……

The quarter-finals will be held over two days.

After the rest of the matches on the second day are over, the quarterfinals will be announced.

Argentina, France and Serbia and Montenegro in Group A, China in Group B, Spain and Italy in Group C, Greece and the United States in Group D.

It can also be seen from the promotion situation that the strength of Group B is obviously the weakest among the four groups.

Or in other words, Japan worked hard to make a wedding dress for the Chinese team in the end.

The matchups for the quarter-finals are also determined.

Argentina VS Italy, Spain VS France, China VS USA, Greece VS Serbia and Montenegro;

For the four major tournament seeds given before the fiba match, the two teams of China and the United States will officially face each other ahead of schedule!

When this result came out, some fans who were belatedly couldn't help complaining about the competition system.

However, there are also a considerable number of fans who are excited and thrilled.

Step by step, the final Sino-US battle was really good, but there were a few surprises.

Now this result is unexpected, but also inexplicably expected.

Because two identical teams encounter at different stages, have different psychological pressures, and their performances will be completely different.

This kind of situation encountered in advance has added a lot of unknowns out of thin air.

Including Sun Hao, there is no certainty of victory.

The reason for this feeling is not that they are not confident in the current strength of the Chinese team.

Rather, they are not sure about the current state of the US team.

The reason for the uncertainty is that the US team lost to Greece in the group stage.

This may sound irrelevant, but in fact they are intertwined.

In history, the Dream Seven team will overturn. In addition to certain flaws in its own lineup, there is another important reason: lack of preparation.

They didn't expect the Greek team to play so well before the game, so that they lost their positions after falling behind in the second quarter.

Waiting until the score was opened before trying to chase points, the Greek team had already started their momentum and failed to pull the score back in the end.

If you want to say that the Dream Seven team is not strong enough, it is wrong, because they were behind by 16 points at the most in that game, but they lost by 6 points in the end.

Now the Dream Seven team lost earlier, and it was still in the group stage.

It's like giving them a slap in the face in advance, and there is a high probability that they will be alerted.

Naturally, their strength in the knockout round will also become stronger.

"Our defensive strategy is to shrink the defense and focus on the perimeter to mark Cameron."

Fortunately, Harris' strength is online.

When preparing for the game before the game, he had already given the tactics for playing the US team.

The U.S. team lost to Greece in the group stage. In addition to being alerted, it also exposed some problems.

The most important of these is that Battier and Hinrich's level of shooters are still not enough in the FIBA ​​arena.

In key games, Anthony is still the only reliable pitcher for the US team.

"On the offensive end, we try to play inside as much as possible."

After all, Harris has coached in the NBA for many years and has a thorough understanding of the Dream Team.

A detail that is easily overlooked is that American basketball has produced a large number of talents, and small forward Shengshi and guard Shengshi inherit the past and usher in the future.

But what corresponds to it is the rapid withering of the center.

Pure blackness and roughness can no longer meet the requirements of the game, and international insiders are playing more and more roles in the NBA.

Even the Dream Eight team, which is known as the strongest in the new century in history, had only Howard as the center at that time, and Boozer and Bosh were the rest of the insiders.

It's not that the U.S. team doesn't send, it's that they really don't have insiders.

Sun Hao knew what Harris said.

But knowing is not the same as hearing someone else say it.

At least after listening to it, Sun Hao felt much more confident.

The next day, the quarterfinals officially started.

The quarter-finals will be held in two days, with two games a day, and the A/B group will be played first.

The afternoon of the first day was Argentina vs. Italy, and the evening was the battle between China and the United States.

In the afternoon, the arena in Nagasaki was already full of seats.

Many fans did not come for the afternoon game, but to reserve seats for the evening game in advance.

The Chinese team came to the arena in the third quarter of the afternoon game.

They had eaten something before they set off, and it was time to digest it.

This Italian team is not the strongest team. Sun Hao is familiar with the Italian Big Three: Bargnani did not come due to injury, Gallinari is still young, and the only selected Belinelli is only in his early 20s and is not the core.

However, their strength should not be underestimated. You must know that they eliminated the European powerhouse Lithuania in the quarter-finals.

International competition NBA players are important, but not all.

When Sun Hao and the others came, the Italian team played back and forth with the Argentine team.

Entering the top eight, there is no real underdog.

However, in the last quarter, Ginobili and Nocioni began to exert their strength one after another, and the Argentine team played a wave and successfully accepted the game.

The first place in the semi-finals was also born.

According to the competition system, this will also be the winner's semi-final opponent between the Chinese and American teams.

Even if they win the United States, they still have to fight against Argentina, and if they pass Argentina, there is a high probability that they will still have to fight against Spain.

Whoops, hell mode!

This group is poisonous.

However, if this can still win the championship, the gold content is absolutely leveraged.

Fans will discuss it with more relish in the future.

Thinking about it this way, it seems that there is no loss and a little profit.

After the game on the field, the Chinese team went down to the field to warm up.

Ginobili saw Sun Hao come down and go up to say hello.

He also looked a little excited.

Sun Hao can feel that the excitement is not because of winning Italy, but... the next round may be against the Chinese team!

Once the Chinese team overthrew him, he would hold back his energy and think about doing it back.

Ginobili and Sun Hao are like-minded people.

"I'll be watching you from the stands at night, don't lose to those guys."

Ginobili's words also verified what Sun Hao thought.

And the group of guys directly, sure enough, the ones who won the US team are different.

"Look out, little Manu!"

Sun Hao also showed pride.

Ginobili has said so, it is not appropriate for him not to win this game!
Warm up training, rest, warm up again, and it will be night in a blink of an eye.

Most of the fans also came over after dinner.

Before the game, the entire arena was already full.

As before, more than half of the audience were Chinese fans.

There is no other reason, it is enthusiasm, and there are many people.

In fact, not to mention the fans, the players of the Chinese team are also very excited.

One by one, eager to try.

It's not that they haven't won the US team before!
Once raw and second cooked, three times and fourth times meat paste meat!
Similarly, the US team was also very excited, and a little nervous.

When the camera came, Anthony was pushing his palms and taking a deep breath, James was rubbing his hands and blowing empty fists, and Wade was puffing to show off his cheeks.

This is their chance to avenge the Chinese team, and it is also a game they must win to win the championship.

But it is precisely because it is necessary to win, the pressure can be imagined.

After the pre-match warm-up, a simple opening ceremony, the starting lists of the two teams were released one after another.

For the Chinese team, Sun Hao, Wang Shipeng, Zhu Fangyu, Yi Jianlian, Yao Ming.

The US team, Hinrich, Wade, Anthony, James, Howard.

The US team has made lineup adjustments!

Brand, who had been the starting center before, was replaced by Howard!

This sent a signal: the old coach K made sufficient preparations for this game.

Harris did not make temporary adjustments, he was prepared to respond to all changes with the same.

Amidst the cheers of the fans at the scene, both sides started to play one after another.

Sun Hao looked up and glanced at the opposite side.

James was rubbing his hands and blowing empty punches again.

Not many people will notice this match, and this is also his chance to beat Sun Hao.

He should be the one with the most pressure on the US team.

"beep!"

A whistle sounded, and the game officially started.

Howard jumped high and dialed the ball back to the US team's half.

As Harris explained before the game, except for Yi Jianlian who kept an eye on Anthony, the rest of the defense was obviously on the inside.

Then, the US team is rushing inside!

Wade and James set a pick and roll, passed Zhu Fangyu and went directly to Yao Ming.

Yao Ming made a strong layup at the basket, Wade was not afraid of confrontation, and made a strong layup and went out of the basket.

Yao Ming kept the defensive rebound, and the US team's first wave of offense returned without success.

However, they retreated quickly and did not give the Chinese team a chance to break fast.

Sun Hao advanced to the frontcourt and lobbed the ball to Yao Ming.

Howard gave all kinds of physical confrontation, but Yao Ming took advantage of the small hook that turned around and shot.

"Shh!"

Basketball hollow into the net.

2:0.

The Chinese team took the lead in scoring!
Looking back, James held the ball, set a pick-and-roll with Anthony, and went straight to the basket over Yi Jianlian again!
Another strong layup that challenged Yao Ming.

James' breakthrough confrontation is much stronger than Wade's, but Yao Ming still defends the ball with his physical advantage!
The US team missed consecutive offenses in the opening game!

The Chinese team attacked the frontcourt again. Howard did not give Yao Ming an inside position this time, and it was all kinds of physical confrontation.

But it was of no use. Yao Ming turned from the free throw line to the basket, and Sun Hao's lob went in. Yao Ming worked high in the air, and the catch was a dunk.

Really eat, sleep, and fight World of Warcraft!

4 is better than 0!

There were thunderous cheers at the scene.

This imposing opening made people wet!

What Manu Ginobili watched in the stands was filled with emotion.

On the one hand, it is because of the strength of the Chinese team, and on the other hand, it is because some do not understand the American team's style of play.

Obviously the Chinese team is shrinking their defense, but they are still rushing to the basket?
Is it because the old K didn't discover Harris' tactical intentions, or is he not confident in his pitcher?
The game is still going on, and the start is like a microcosm. The Chinese team has been firmly grasping the situation on the field.

For the US team, Old K has not made any tactical adjustments, and he played quite mesmerizingly.

After half a quarter of the game, the score on the court was already 16 to 6, and the Chinese team took a double-digit lead.

"This game, there is no suspense!"

Ginobili couldn't help expressing emotion.

The Dream Seven team is more hip than the previous two dream teams, and even more hip than he imagined.

No wonder they lost to Greece in the group stage before.

At this moment, there was a substitution adjustment on the sidelines.

Battelle came on and replaced Yao Ming.

This substitution came about 2 minutes earlier than usual.

Ginobili didn't pay much attention at first.

But after the game was played again, the US team's style of play did not change, but it began to chase points!

Although Sun Hao stood up in time and scored consecutively, the scoring momentum of the US team continued unabated.

After Sun Hao also took a break, the US team took the opportunity to tie the score!

Ginobili was stunned for a while.

Ah, his mouth...
