Chapter 756 756. The Second Super Center

Thanks to the 7 assists in Slovenia, Liu Xiu was able to tie for the first place and get a data king.

小组赛他场均19.6分8板5.8助攻2.6抢断0.8盖帽，投篮命中率46.7%，三分命中率42.3%，差一丢丢场均20+5+5。

But Yao Ming is too fierce. Most of the games, he can't fight that hard in regular time. With Yao Ming to block the vanguard, he can focus on defense and series offense. He can shoot in the "West Coast stage" or at critical moments. Li Nan's "Little Li Feidao" has a 30% chance of catching the pot and entering a hot state. This kind of energy allocation seems to be a very good choice in this World Championships.

However, looking at the first three lists, Liu Xiu found an unexpected name but felt nothing wrong with it - Milicic.

Top five in points and rebounds, Milicic's performance in this World Championship is comparable to Yao Ming, Gasol, and Nowitzki!
In the list of steals, Dimitus Diamandis (Greece) ranks first with 4 steals per game, Zedros Paparokas (Greece) ranks second with 2.8 steals per game, and Liu Xiu ranks third with 2.6 steals per game , the fourth and fifth are both Australian players.

Block list: Yao Ming and Milicic are the first with 3.2 blocks per game, Gasol is the third with 2.4 blocks per game, Luger is the fourth with 2.2 blocks per game...

In terms of overall performance, Milicic is better than Nowitzki. Compared with Yao Ming and Gasol, it is really difficult to say which of the three performed best.

It is a pity for Liu Xiu that the lineup of Serbia and Montenegro this time is very broken.

On May 5st, the country of Serbia and Montenegro was gone, so most of the top players from Serbia and Montenegro were unwilling to participate in the World Championships. Except for Milicic, Liu Xiu can remember the name in the Serbia and Montenegro team list Yes, there is only one player named Popovich.

On the second day, September 8st.

At 7:[-] in the morning, Liu Xiu received the finals schedule sent to the door by the staff of the national team.

The games in the finals are all held at the Saitama Super Arena, so there are only 4 games a day.

The 16 teams that have advanced have a day off today. Tomorrow, No.2 and No.3 in each group will start a cross-match match. No.2 in Group A will meet with Group B in the first round of the third final round, and so on, 4 The games were France against Turkey, Germany against Lithuania, Greece against Slovenia, and Italy against Nigeria.

On the 27th, No.1 and No.4 of each group will cross duel. The rules are the same as on the 26th. The four games are Argentina against New Zealand, Spain against Puerto Rico, the United States against Angola, and China against Serbia. black team.

The 8 teams that have not advanced will be grouped today according to their record and group stage point difference, and will play a ranking match to determine the 1th to 17th places.

The group first rested for two days, and Liu Xiu felt very good, but he looked at the next four opponents who were the first in the group, and it seemed that the opponent they met in the Chinese team was the strongest!

The first place in the group... Liu Xiu thinks it should be taken, but the first place in the group has an attribute point, and it also draws explosive acceleration...

...

In the afternoon, the Chinese team began to prepare for the match against Serbia and Montenegro the day after tomorrow.

On the second day, August 8, after the morning training, Liu Xiu took a leave of absence in the afternoon, and together with Anne-Hathaway took Qing'er to the playground to celebrate Qing'er's 26th birthday.

Unexpectedly, the teammates found out about this matter. When the three of them returned to Qiyu in the evening, the teammates gave Qing'er a big cake, which moved Qing'er to tears...

Trained in the morning, celebrated Qing'er's birthday in the afternoon, and held a simple party for Qing'er in the evening. Liu Xiu didn't pay attention to the competition all day. After returning to the accommodation arranged by the organizer, Liu Xiucai learned about today's battle situation.

In today's first round of 4 games, there were two downs and downs. The German team was beaten by the Lithuanian team, the French team was killed by the Turkish team, and the Greek and Italian teams steadily defeated their opponents and advanced to the top 8.

After a night of rest, a new day has arrived.

Liu Xiu woke up on time at 7 o'clock and looked at the game schedule posted on the cabinet next to it. At 10 o'clock in the morning, the US team and the Angola team will kick off today's game.

The U.S. team's match was scheduled for 8:[-] p.m. New York time, and Liu Xiu could see the idea of ​​the foot pot chicken at a glance.

The Chinese team's match was scheduled for the last game at 8:[-] p.m., and the foot-pot chicken wanted the ratings in the Chinese market to earn advertising fees, and it was very straightforward.

The match between the second and third in the group was very suspenseful, but the difference in strength between the first and fourth in the group was already very large.

After eating breakfast, Liu Xiu devoted himself to training for the battle. At 6 o'clock in the evening, when he was resting after dinner and ready to warm up, he paid attention to the situation of the first three games today.

美国队92比66击败安哥拉队、西班牙队104比98击败波多黎各、阿根廷队79比62击败新西兰队，小组第一纷纷晋级。

Seven teams including the United States, Spain, Argentina, Lithuania, Turkey, Greece, and Italy advanced to the quarterfinals, leaving only China and Serbia and Montenegro.

At 7:45 p.m., Liu Xiu entered the Saitama Super Arena with his teammates.

The players of the Chinese team saw that the scene was ablaze!
More than two-thirds of the fans are Chinese fans, and some who are not Chinese also bought Chinese team jerseys to wear.

Foreigners who don't want to wear Chinese team jerseys wear the Trail Blazers, Pistons, and Lakers jerseys. Among them, Wang Zhizhi's Lakers jersey number 16 is the majority.

This, even Wang Zhizhi didn't expect, the 60E fans are so fierce, he felt two sour smells...

In the two consecutive World Series, the Chinese team advanced to the group stage with 5 wins and 0 losses. The domestic sports world has gone completely crazy!
Even the European and American sports circles also said that the "golden age" of Chinese basketball has arrived, and it has been compared with Spain, Argentina, and Greece, which are recognized as having entered the "golden age of basketball".

Liu Xiu withdrew her envy and jealousy towards Wang Zhizhi, a Lakers player with '60E' fans, and turned her attention back to the game.

After two days, he stepped on the court again, and his feeling was completely different.

As the star of the team, he is full of pressure!
"Dako Milicic, 21 years old, 213 cm, 116 kg, C/PF, ability evaluation 97 (international arena)... Averaged 5 points, 20.8 rebounds, 10.4 rebounds, 3.4 steals, 0.8 blocks per game in 3.2 games in the group stage, and made a field goal 52.6% shooting percentage, 30% three-point shooting percentage, 60% free throw shooting percentage..."

A big center with good skills is really good in the international arena. Liu Xiu looked at the other players on the opposite side... He is really weak. Including Milicic, there are a total of 3 ability ratings of 80, and those two are in their early 80s, but Milicic took Serbia and Montenegro, which had no country, to the top 8 in a daze.

This is when Yao Ming walked up to Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu didn't look up, and asked, "The farmer is very good. Brother Yao, can you beat him?"

Yao Ming lowered his head to look at Liu Xiu, then raised his head again: "I am the No. [-] center forward!"
