NBA opening draw to twilight Shaquille O'Neal

Chapter 53 The Battle of Honor and Dignity (13)

On the evening of August 8th, the Tianchao Men's Basketball Team welcomed the 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 many active NBA players such as "Actor" Varejao, "Brazil Lightning" Babos, "The Man Who Made the League's Balls" Nene.

In terms of strength alone, the Brazilian team is much stronger than the Kangaroo Country, and is the well-deserved second in Group B.

This time, the Chinese men's basketball team still adopted the strategy of the previous match against the Kangaroo Country, leaving Wang Zelin in the second half of the game before playing.

However, the players from the Celestial Dynasty may have lost their overall performance in this game because they fought too hard against the Kangaroo Country in the last game.

As a last resort, Wang Zelin could only play on the court halfway through the second quarter.

The result is that the distal part is again troubled by strength, and the performance is not as good as before.

From the beginning to the end of this game, the Brazil team did not let the Tianchao team chase 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, the British men's basketball team.

British football is very good, but the men's basketball team is not good. At present, the core of the team is led by active NBA player Roel Deng. Unfortunately, it is still difficult to obtain a win, and it is at the bottom of the group stage with a record of three consecutive losses.

For the Celestial Men's Basketball Team, as long as they win this victory, they still have a good chance of qualifying.

As for the host British men, it is hard to say that this is a battle to defend dignity. If they suffer a four-game losing streak in the homeland and lose face in front of their fathers and villagers, then their team is really not far from disbanding.

Although the current record of the British team is a three-game losing streak, most people still have a four-six view of the match against 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, just because the British men's basketball team lost only one point against the mighty Spain team, and only five points against the South American powerhouse Brazil.

Comparing the net loss of the men's basketball team, it is difficult not to make people more optimistic about the British men's basketball team.

On the evening of August 8, the Chinese men's basketball team will face the last opponent in the group stage, the British men's basketball team.

One is to defend the dignity from being shaved, and the other is to attack the honor of the quarter-finals.

British men's basketball starting: Clark, Rolle Deng, Freeland, Ryan King and Sullivan.

This time, the Tianchao men's basketball team did not continue to cover up, and directly brought Wang Zelin back to the starting position.

One word, and you're done!
At the beginning of the game, the Tianchao men's basketball team quickly entered the state. First, Yi Jianlian went to the basket and made a layup, which was a good start.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Wei made a breakthrough jumper, Wang Shipeng hit a three-pointer from the left wing, and the Chinese men's basketball team beat the British men's basketball team 7-0 at the beginning.

But the Celestial fans who are following this game are not at all excited, because now everyone knows that it has become a norm for the Celestial Men's Basketball Team to start as fierce as a tiger.

Only persistence is king.

Sure enough, the worries of the Chinese fans quickly came true.

Seeing that the Tianchao men's basketball team felt so hot on the outside, the British men's basketball team strengthened its defense on the outside in time, and achieved good results.

First, the core Luo Er 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 Luo Er Deng.

Facing Luo Er Deng, Sun Yue had no advantage, and it was difficult to make progress. Fortunately, Yi Jianlian stepped forward in time to make a pick and roll, and Sun Yue chose to shoot quickly after taking cover.

"Snapped"

The basket rejected Sun Yue, and the rebound was won by Sullivan.

At this time, Wang Zelin obviously noticed that Sun Yue unconsciously rubbed his shoulder after shooting.

It seems that the shoulder injury has a great impact on Sun Yue.

Sullivan won the basketball and quickly passed it to Luo Er Deng, who took the ball to the front court and directly chose to grab the third, hitting the Tianchao men's basketball team.

"Shh!"

Luo Er Deng hit a three-pointer, and the difference between the two teams was only one point.

After all, Luo Er Deng is a ruthless character who can play a starting position in the NBA. He can average 15 points, 6.5 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game. Compared with the outside line 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, according to the coach's instructions, Sun Yue was successfully handed over to Wang Zelin.

Facing Sullivan's defense, Wang Zelin exerted his strength continuously and clicked a few times. Seeing that the position was getting deeper and deeper, the continuous turns around the basket shook the defender's center of gravity, and then took the opportunity to make a backhand layup.

9: 6.
In fact, Wang Zelin had the opportunity to dunk, but for the sake of physical strength, he chose a more relaxed layup. Now he must learn how to better distribute his physical energy.

Luo Erdeng knew that his own advantage was on the outside, while the advantage of the Tianchao men's basketball team was on the inside, so they consciously increased the rhythm and wanted to drain the physical strength of Wang Zelin and others faster.

After three quarters of the game, the two sides were still struggling, and neither could easily open up the points difference.

At the beginning of the crucial fourth quarter, Wang Qizhuba suddenly rained three-pointers on the outside line, each hitting a three-pointer to help the team lead the British men's basketball team by 62 points with 54:8.

The biggest point difference between the two teams so far came so caught off guard that the British men's basketball team panicked and began to gamble on three-pointers on the outside.

It is a pity that anxiety not only cannot solve the problem in the attack, but it is very likely to lead to a worse situation.

The British men's basketball team began to strike frequently, while the Chinese men's basketball team consciously began to grind time, focusing on the hit rate, and even if they couldn't score, they would run out of offensive time.

Now the lineup of the Celestial Men's Basketball Team has become one big and four small. The players in the center position are 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 break due to fouls, while the latter was exhausted, and all the pressure came to Wang Zhizhi.

Fortunately, Da Zhi is always trustworthy.

I saw that he first showed agile footwork under the basket, got rid of the two defenses and made a layup with a low hand.

……

"Clark, give me the ball!"

Just after halftime, Luol Deng asked 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.

Although he didn't feel good, he was still able to use his breakthrough to create free throws and break the deadlock for the team.

Wang Shipeng and Zhu Fangyu took turns to go into battle, but they still couldn't stop Luo Er Deng's massacre.

Seeing that the score was chased to 64:58, Yao Ming couldn't help shaking his head.

The strength of the two sides is still too large, and no one in the Tianchao men's basketball team can stop Luo Er Deng.

Maybe Sun Yue was able to restrain it a little before, but now his shoulder injury has recurred.

Just as Deng Huade was about to replace Yi Jianlian and Wang Zelin to fight for his life, Wang Zhizhi on the field waved and interrupted him.

"This……"

Deng Huade was a little embarrassed all of a sudden.

"Wait a minute, I believe roughly!"

Yao Ming's light-hearted words made his position clear.

"All right!"

Now that the boss has made a statement, Hua De Deng can only let go.

Don't look at him as the men's basketball coach on the surface, but in fact, the person who can really call the shots is the big fat man in front of him.
