NBA: Art is trash talk

Chapter 252 Two consecutive victories, a different men's basketball team
For the Chinese team, the starting lineup is Liu Wei, He Xinghui, Zhu Fangyu, Yi Jianlian, Yao Ming.

Italy is point guard Fabio, shooting guard Bassley, small forward Bellinelli, power forward Luca, and center Mark Dona.

Among these people, Basley, who played against He Xinghui, was the most powerful. He was the captain of Italy and led the team to win the silver medal in the 2004 Athens Olympics.

The two looked at each other, and He Xinghui saw the fighting spirit in each other's eyes.

The two teams jumped the ball, Yao Ming allocated the ball to his side, and the Chinese team got the ball.

Liu Wei controlled the ball and advanced, and Fabio harassed him.

Except for He Xinghui, Yao Ming, and Yi Jianlian, the rest of the men's basketball team is slightly inferior to the Italian players.

Da Zhi originally didn't love the other party, but he has just recovered from his injury and has not yet returned to his best condition.

Facing Fabio, who was stronger than himself, Liu Wei felt a sense of oppression, and it seemed a bit difficult to push forward. He had to be very careful to ensure that he did not make mistakes.

He Xinghui saw Liu Wei's difficulty in advancing, so he went directly to meet him.

When the ball reached He Xinghui, Basley stepped forward to press for it.

He Xinghui deceived the opponent with a fake move, directly launched a breakthrough, and rushed to the basket.

Bellinelli made up the defense, and He Xinghui used the European step to change direction, which surprised Bellinelli. He never expected that He Xinghui would also do this move.

After two people in a row, He Xinghui rushed to the basket for a simple layup and scored 2 points.

"pretty."

Zhang reasonably applauded.

European teams are more team-oriented, so the team defense is quite good, and it is not easy to score points against them.

But now, He Xinghui scored points in his first shot, which is a very good start.

Italy attacked, Fabio controlled the ball and organized on the outside, and the others made tactical moves.

The Chinese team adopts a man-to-man defensive tactic, because the Italian team has a strong three-point ability, and it is easy to suffer from zone defense.

The implementation of man-to-man is more difficult than defensive zone defense. The Italian team is running, which makes the Chinese team's defensive formation a little bit chaotic.

Luka takes the ball in the middle distance and makes a shot.

The chance for the Italian team came out, but this time the Chinese team was lucky, and Luca missed the shot.

"You can speak English."

On the other side, He Xinghui was having a friendly exchange with Basley.

Basley didn't say a word, he didn't know if he didn't understand or he was pretending.

He Xinghui is also very helpless about this. He doesn't have so much time and energy to learn all languages ​​of various countries, and there is no need for this.

After all, I am afraid that the number of times I have played against Italy in this life will not exceed three times.

With no use for trash talking, He Xinghui could only shut up and concentrate on playing.

The Chinese team attacked, and Italy used quick rotations to increase its defense against He Xinghui.

He Xinghui caught the ball to attract the opponent's attention, and then made a precise pass to Yao Ming.

Yao Ming has already grabbed a comfortable position under the basket. After receiving the ball and making an adjustment, he immediately shot and the ball scored.

4 to 0, the Chinese team made a good start.

"Good guy, it looks like Italy is weak."

A Chinese fan couldn't help complaining. After all, Italy failed to defend in these two rounds.

"Weak? He was still No.2 in the last Olympic Games. It's not that Italy has become weaker, but we have become stronger."

Another fan sighed.

With the Big Two in any team, the offensive firepower can be guaranteed, and it is difficult for opponents to defend.

Italy attacked, Basley used the cover of his teammates to get rid of He Xinghui, and then relied on his personal ability to pass Zhu Fangyu, and took off when he reached the middle distance.

With Yao Ming guarding the basket, going to the basket is not a good choice.

Moreover, Basley's basic skills are quite solid, and his mid-range shots are very stable.

An emergency stop jumper, the ball scored, scored 2 points.

The Chinese team attacked, and He Xinghui went crazy from outside the three-point line and hit a three-pointer.

7:2.

Seeing this scene, Director Hu also had to admit that He Xinghui was crazy, but he did have the capital to be crazy.

He Xinghui did not play during the warm-up match, and the Chinese team's offense was not so smooth.

Italy attacked, this time He Xinghui was not thrown off by Basley, and followed him tightly.

No way, Italy can only be ended by Bellinelli.

As a result, the ball was missed.

In turn, the Chinese team also missed the first goal.

In Italy's two-legged tie, the Chinese team got another two points from Yao Ming's tip-up.

9:2.

"Good guy, how can I see the feeling of hanging and beating, am I dazzled?"

A Chinese fan said with emotion.

Although the Chinese team has He Xinghui and Yao Ming, the fans' prediction before the game is only slightly stronger than Italy.

But now, the situation has turned into a one-sided slap, which is incredible.

However, reality soon told this fan that it was impossible.

In fact, there were many opportunities in Italy just now, but it was just that they were not lucky enough to grasp them.

In the subsequent games, Italy got on the right track.

Although there is still no good way to take the Chinese team on the defensive end, they also scored successively on the offensive end, maintaining a balance with the Chinese team.

At the end of the first quarter, 25 to 19, the Chinese team led by 6 points.

In international games, a quarter is only 10 minutes, 2 minutes less than the NBA.Therefore, 25 points in a single quarter is already a lot.

In the second quarter, Wang Zhizhi, Wang Shipeng and Chen Jianghua competed with their opponents on the court.

For a few of them, it may be very difficult to fight against the main players in Italy.But dealing with Italy's substitutes, it can also be done without falling behind.

There is an extra He Xinghui in the team. For the men's basketball team, the benefits are all-round.

Six minutes into the second quarter, He Xinghui played again.

He came up with a dunk after a breakthrough, terribly frightened his opponent, and scared the Italian coach to quickly replace all the main players.

So far, the Italian coach can only compete with the Chinese team.

Besides, he has no better way.

The physical strength of the Chinese team is notoriously bad.

Most of the games are able to hold up in the early stage, and they will be stretched in the second half.

This is Italy's only chance.

After the first half, 47 to 39, the Chinese team has led by 8 points.

During the intermission, the players of the Chinese team were talking and laughing, and it was not easy.

On the other hand, the Italian team felt as if they were facing an enemy. They felt as nervous as the Italian soldiers who were about to go to the battlefield.

During the intermission, Zhang Lili was already analyzing the situation of the Chinese team.

"Strive to get second in the group stage, so that in the next knockout round, you can avoid some strong teams and advance more easily."

There is an American team in Group D, and it is hard for Zhang Lili to compete for the first place.

In the second half, Italy stepped up confrontation, increased offensive and defensive strength, and wanted to speed up the physical consumption of the Chinese team.

It has to be said that this trick still has some effect.

The first half of the third quarter was fine, and the Chinese team could still keep up.

In the second half, the speed of many players dropped significantly, only He Xinghui was still alive and well.

He averaged close to 31 minutes per game in the more intense NBA. Now that he is playing this kind of international game, if necessary, he can play the whole game.

What's more, he took a 6-minute break just now.

It is also because of He Xinghui's vigor that the Chinese team can continue to stay in the third quarter.

After the third quarter, 71 to 64, the Chinese team still led by 7 points.

During the break during the festival, Zhu Fangyu couldn't help but sighed: "Ah Xing's physical strength is really good, and he is not tired at all."

"It's all done through years of practice."

He Xinghui said.

"However, the media said that your training volume is not high, much worse than Kobe's."

Zhu Fangyu said.

"For physical strength, you don't have to go to the court to practice, you can do it on the bed."

He Xinghui.

"."

Everyone was attacked by trash talk, morale -10.

Fortunately, there was a short break between festivals, and everyone could avoid being hurt by trash talking again.

The fourth quarter, the final decisive moment.

Italy had no way out and began to fight the Chinese team desperately.

Basley seized the weakness of the Chinese team's slowing speed, successively created dislocation opportunities by running, and then broke through and shot.

He scored 4 points in a row, making the game suspenseful again.

However, the Chinese team now has a key player.

He Xinghui's strength is already stronger than his opponent, but the key point is that he doesn't talk about martial ethics.

In the counterattack, just after halftime, he made a super long three-pointer.

With the blessing of must-hit props, the ball was scored.

This ball made the Italian players burst into tears, not knowing how to defend.

If Bass Ray goes out, then their overall defense will be destroyed.

But if he doesn't go out, God knows if He Xinghui will come again.

As they expected, He Xinghui made another super long three-pointer.

This time the ball was missed, but the basketball hit the basket and bounced far away.

He Xinghui rushed over, grabbed the rebound in the chaos, and threw it to the basket. Yao Ming took two steps to catch the ball, layup easily, and scored

2 points.

"A combination of inside and outside, this is the best team configuration. O'Neal and Kobe have won three championships together. If A Xing can partner with Dayao, he can definitely win three consecutive championships."

Zhang Lili said with emotion.

For fans who like Yao Ming and the Rockets, they certainly hope that this scene will appear.

Unfortunately, this is almost impossible.

Italy continued to counterattack, but the Chinese team relied on He Xinghui and Yao Ming to keep scoring points and firmly controlled the situation.

Italy was helpless, and their coaches simply gave up and called a timeout.

Anyway, as long as you win 3 games in the group stage, you can advance 100% of the time, and winning 2 games also has a high probability of advancing, so you can accept this game if you lose.

In the end, the game ended, 99 to 90, and the Chinese team got off to a good start in the first game.

Although there were not many wins, the Chinese team took the lead from the beginning to the end, firmly grasping the situation, giving people a feeling of strength and stability over their opponents.

At least, the fans of the Chinese team were very satisfied after watching it.

In terms of statistics, He Xinghui scored 30 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists, and Yao Ming scored 25 points and 11 rebounds. The two giants deserved their names.

Yi Jianlian scored 11 points, Wang Zhizhi 8 and Du Feng 7.
Compared with the original time and space, Yao Ming's score has dropped slightly, after all, He Xinghui has lost a lot of possessions.

Yi Jianlian's score increased slightly, mainly due to tactical benefits.

He Xinghui attracted a large number of defenses, and their chances of shooting were much better.

On the Italian side, the best performer was Basley, who scored 28 points.

Although He Xinghui was the main defense against him, Basley relied on his teammates to play as a team every time he attacked. He Xinghui couldn't defend against him alone, and he needed the team's overall defense.

Outside of Bassley, the performance of the others was somewhat lackluster.

After the game, at the press conference, the Italian coach said: "Although we lost the game, our boys did not perform badly. After all, there are He and Yao in the Chinese team. One is the prospective MVP in the NBA, and the other is the MVP in the NBA. The strongest center in active service. Such a lineup is comparable to that of the United States and Spain."

Make the opponent stronger, so that it will not be so ugly if you lose. The Italian coach seems to be very good at this trick.

However, Basley is not bad. He said: "He is the strongest player I have played against. His attack is helpless. In this game, I pretended not to understand English to avoid the harassment of his trash talk." , otherwise the situation could be worse."

Basley's words almost made the reporters at the scene laugh.

After the game, the headlines of the media became "Confidence or arrogance, can the Chinese team win the championship?" '

Before He Xinghui said that he wanted to win the championship, most of the media were skeptical.

Even if it is the media of the Chinese team, it is mostly spiritual support.

And now, after this battle, the media has finally begun to seriously analyze the strength of the Chinese team.

In the game on the same day, Japan lost to Germany 70 to 81, and the United States slaughtered Puerto Rico 115 to 100.

Even if the dream team is not the strongest lineup, playing against other countries is still similar to playing against other countries.

The original time and space lost to Greece, in fact, there are more or less factors of underestimating the enemy.

On the 20th, the Chinese team faced their second opponent, Puerto Rico.

The schedule of the World Championships is very dense, almost every day.

Playing Puerto Rico, the Chinese team once again showed its strength, leading from the beginning to the end.

In the end, they won the game 106-99, marking their second consecutive victory.

When most of the fans were silent in joy, they also jumped out to bad-mouth the Chinese team. The reason turned out to be that the Chinese team only won 7 points, not as much as the US team.

Therefore, the Chinese team is not as good as the US team, and winning the championship is also a delusion.

Although there is more or less a grain of truth in these words, Chinese fans are inexplicably upset when they read it.

"Another nickel, Spirit American."

"I'm afraid it's because I have low self-esteem to the bone. I don't even dare to think about it. I can compete with Director Hu."

"Don't pay attention to this Sabi, she's just going out of her way on purpose to attract attention."

Having said that, but facing the US team, the fans are actually beating drums in their hearts.

On the 22nd, the Chinese team will usher in a contest with the US team. This is the most watched game of the day, and it is the strongest matchup in the group stage.

In addition to China, Japan and the United States, some other countries also broadcast this.

On the 22th, Sapporo.

Players from the two teams entered the field, and the US team had smiles on their faces.

All of them were suffocating in their hearts, and wanted to take this opportunity to teach He Xinghui a lesson.

He Xinghui did not speak harshly during the exchange between the players of the two teams before the game.

In this game, he didn't plan to use props.

After all, it's just a group match, and losing doesn't affect the promotion.

And if you want to win, you need to pay a huge price.

What's more troublesome is that once the opponent wins this game, the opponent will be completely vigilant, and it will be even more difficult to meet in the knockout rounds later.

Instead of this, it is better to temporarily show weakness and paralyze the opponent.

Since it was a match with a high probability of losing, He Xinghui would naturally not speak harshly, it would be slapping himself in the face.

However, if he doesn't say anything, it doesn't mean that the American players will let him go.

Wade provocatively said: "He, it's a pity that we didn't meet you in the finals. Fortunately, we have the opportunity now, and we can compete."

"As you said, friendship comes first, competition comes second."

He Xinghui said.

Everyone laughed outright when they heard the words, and being able to force He Xinghui to say that friendship comes first, this feeling is quite good.

"A Xing, why are you cowardly, it's not like your style."

After the exchange between the two teams, Sun Yue asked.

He thought that He Xinghui would only talk about it.

"That's because you don't know me yet. If you know me, you will know that arrogance is just my appearance. In fact, I am as stable as an old dog."

He Xinghui said.

This.
Sun Yue pondered, being as stable as an old dog does not seem to be a good word.

The game is about to start, and Zhang Lili is still analyzing the Chinese team's chances of winning.

He said: "Kobe, Duncan, O'Neal and other superstars from the United States didn't come. They were young people who seemed to want to train young people. But even so, their lineup is also star-studded.

There is Wade who just won the FMVP, and the regular season MVP LeBron James, as well as Anthony, Bosh, Hinrich, these are the masters of the 03 class.

They beat Slovenia by 20 points in the last game, winning two consecutive games. It is still very difficult for us to win this game.However, winning or losing this game will not affect our advancement, so it can be used as training."

Zhang Lili first gave the fans a vaccination, so that the fans should not hold too much hope.

TNT, they also broadcast the American team game live.

This game between the United States and China also attracted many fans to watch.

Xingfan wanted to see He Xinghui's performance, while Xinghei was expecting He Xinghui to be beaten.

Even Barkley was gloating. He smiled and said, "LeBron, Anthony and the others can vent their anger."

"Charles, don't be so confident, cousin is a person who often surprises people."

Smith said.

"Oh, it sounds like you want to gamble?"

Buckley said.

"No, no, I'm not like you. My gambling addiction is not as serious as yours."

Smith was not fooled.

While they were talking nonsense, the game had already begun.

The starting lineup for the United States is Paul, Battier, James, Anthony and Howard.

Unlike other teams who arrange the strongest players as the starters, the US team's starting lineup is very random.

Battier started this game, Wade started the last game, Jamison and Hinrich started the last game, and it seems to be taking turns.

I have to say that there are many stars, but you can be willful.

The Chinese team is Liu Wei, He Xinghui, Zhu Fangyu, Wang Zhizhi, and Yao Ming.

Compared with Yi Jianlian, Wang Zhizhi has more experience playing against NBA players.

The two teams jumped the ball, and Howard allocated the ball to his side.

Compared with bouncing, Yao Ming really has no way to compare with the opponent.

The U.S. team attacks and Paul advances with the ball.

After passing the ball to James, James' beastly body squeezed away Zhu Fangyu and rushed to the basket.

However, under the deterrence of Yao's hot pot, he passed the ball to Howard who was missed.

Howard took off directly and put the ball into the basket.

It's really just putting it in, not throwing it in.

Some pseudo-fans who don't watch the NBA, but watch the World Championships this time to support the country, immediately grew their mouths: "What kind of animal is this?"

"This is a black man in the United States, and his physical fitness is indeed similar to that of an animal."

Others popularized science.

"Then how do you fight? It's not fair."

"Don't worry, we also have Superman in our team."

The Chinese team advanced, and Liu Wei was in a hurry in the face of Paul's pressing, which was embarrassing to watch.

Fortunately, there was no mistake and the ball was passed to He Xinghui.

He's up against Battier's defense, which isn't easy to deal with either.

"I heard that you were abandoned by the Grizzlies and replaced you with a rookie?"

He Xinghui said heartbroken.

In the recent draft, the Grizzlies traded Battier and the Rockets for Rudy Gay.

From the perspective of the future, the Grizzlies made a profit on this deal.

However, for now, no one is sure if Rudy Gay can play it.Use Battier to change a rookie, its meaning
Si already understood very well that the Grizzlies were disappointed in Battier and wanted to train someone else.

"He, you don't have to do this to me, I won't be fooled."

Shane Battier laughed, and it seemed that he was in a good mood.

Maybe, he would be happy to leave a poor place like Memphis.

Before he finished speaking, He Xinghui had already activated it, completing a breakthrough for him.

He said he wouldn't be fooled, but he was fooled anyway.

He Xinghui passed Battier, and there was LeBron in front of him.

Seeing that it was hard to see, Battier was about to chase after him, and He Xinghui passed the ball to Zhu Fangyu in the bottom corner.

Zhu Fangyu made a three-pointer, but unfortunately missed the goal.

But it doesn't matter, this game is training.

Zhu Fangyu made a three-pointer from the bottom corner, which was also He Xinghui's request.

Only by making use of the three-point ability of the role players can He Xinghui open up space and facilitate He Xinghui's breakthrough tactics.

Fortunately, in this men's basketball team, there are many players who can shoot three-pointers, which is suitable for He Xinghui's system.

Under the basket, Howard didn't grab the rebound, but dialed the basketball out with his hands.

LeBron grabbed the rebound and threw it forward. Paul, who was already down, caught the ball and scored two points steadily.

Although Liu Wei is also chasing, but really can't catch up.

The start was 0 to 4, and the hearts of Chinese fans were greatly cooled.

Director Hu on the sidelines also had a cold face, as if someone owed him millions.

The Chinese team attacked, Yao Ming was in position at the basket, and Howard resisted stubbornly.Suddenly, Yao Ming withdrew his strength and ran to the three-point line to help He Xinghui block.

Howard almost stumbled, and he didn't have time to follow.

He Xinghui gained space to shoot, made a three-pointer and scored.

3:4.

Those impatient fans were immediately a little embarrassed, and they were not calm at 0-4, they were too impatient.

The U.S. team attacked, Paul played with Liu Wei, swayed out of space, shot himself, and scored the ball.

The US team has too many offensive points.

Paul, James, and Anthony all have the ability to play singles, and Howard can still eat cakes.

In this World Championships, the US team has the strongest offensive firepower, averaging 100 points per game.Teams from other countries cannot do this.

3 to 6, the Chinese team attacked.

He Xinghui broke through, attracted the defense, and passed the ball to Yao Ming.

Yao Ming got the chance to play Howard in singles, tricked Howard into taking off with his footsteps, and then shot with a rebound and scored.

Yao Ming has always had an advantage over Howard.

Relatively speaking, Yao Ming is more afraid of those skilled centers.

5:6.

With He Xinghui and Yao Ming around, the Chinese team's offense is more or less guaranteed, but the problem is still in defense.

Only by defending the US team can it be possible to win.

Even after conceding two goals, the US team was not in a hurry, and played according to their rhythm, playing very easily.

Anthony singled Wang Zhizhi and crushed him in all directions.

With a back turn jumper, Wang Zhizhi didn't interfere enough, and the ball was easily scored.

Anthony returned to the defense with a smile. This kind of game is what he likes.

The Chinese team attacked, He Xinghui broke through and scored, Zhu Fangyu made a three-pointer and scored.

8 to 8, the Chinese team tied.

This made the Chinese fans in front of the TV cheer.

Just a temporary tie is enough to make them excited.

After all, this is the dream team.

"Be serious about defending."

Shane Battier reminded others that they not only want to win this game, but also win beautifully.If it was just a narrow victory, it would not be able to embarrass He Xinghui.

If you want to win a little more and win well, then the defensive end can't be so casual, you must increase your strength.

"Be defensive."

For the Chinese team, Yao Ming is also reminding everyone.

If you don't defend well, you have no chance to win.

The US team attacked, and the Chinese players also increased their defensive strength.

It's a pity that James and the others didn't take this defensive intensity seriously, they were used to this intensity in the NBA.

Especially for James and Anthony.

They are the core of the team, and they are often the ones who are taken care of most.

Wang Zhizhi clung to Anthony tightly, but his strength couldn't hold him back.

Anthony bumped a few times, and he was knocked out of a shooting space.

Then Anthony made a shot and scored again.

The Chinese team attacked, and the American team increased their defensive strength, and the other players of the Chinese team couldn't adapt to it all at once.

Facing Paul's entanglement like death entanglement, Liu Wei made a dribble error, Paul completed the steal, and scored 2 points in a fast break.

8 to 12, the US team led by 2 goals at once.

"It's not easy to fight."

Sun Zhengping said with emotion.

He Xinghui and Yao Ming cannot make up the overall gap.

"We lack an excellent point guard. Ah Xing has to play off the ball to avoid being double-teamed, and Dayao can't control the ball."

Zhang reasonably analyzed.

Subsequently, the Chinese team made a substitution. Yi Jianlian and Chen Jianghua came on, replacing Wang Zhizhi and Liu Wei.

The US team also made substitutions, with Wade and Jamison on, replacing Battier and Anthony.

The substitution of the Chinese team is to adjust and solve the problem.

The US team's substitutions are more like assigning roles, so that everyone can play for a few minutes and make their debut.

Seeing Wade play, He Xinghui felt a little more comfortable.

Battier is too tall, not slow, and very active in defense. He Xinghui wants to single-handedly beat Battier, but his scoring efficiency is not high.

However, facing Wade, he can bully the opponent with his height and wingspan, throwing three-pointers directly, without worrying about being blocked by Wade.

As long as it feels hot, it can even beat Wade's point.

After the substitution, the game continued.
