Healing Basketball

Chapter 768 768. World Champion!

At 7:[-] the next morning, Liu Xiu woke up on time.

Today, I can sleep in. On the rest day, Yi Jianlian in the next bed is still sleeping, but Liu Xiu just got up, washed up, and went out to have breakfast with Anne-Hathaway. I made an appointment last night.

They didn't go out to eat breakfast, they found a place, and Liu Xiu took a few delicious 'all-round nutritious snacks' for breakfast.

The two chatted about family affairs, interesting news they saw, and finally talked about the upcoming finals.

Today is the second round of the 5th-8th ranking competition. The team that won the day before yesterday competes for the fifth place, and the team that loses competes for the seventh place.

Tomorrow is the final match day, the US team competes with the Greek team for the bronze medal, and the Chinese team competes with the Spanish team for the Naismith Cup.

My country's basketball team played against other countries' basketball teams where my boyfriend was. My country's basketball team lost, but I was very happy because my boyfriend won... Anne Hathaway still had mixed emotions.

But just a little bit, the two chatted and began to complain about the organizer's competition arrangement.

Who have you ever seen a bronze medal match after a championship match?

That's it for the Japan Men's Basketball World Championships!
It is said that it was not arranged like this at the beginning, but the TV station on Yingjiang’s side strongly demanded that the foot pot chicken decisively chose to play the final between the Chinese team and the Spanish team, which my father wanted to watch more now, at 8:[-] p.m. New York time in prime time...

...

At noon, the Spanish team officially announced that Gasol was determined to miss the final tomorrow morning because of a metatarsal fracture.

All members of the Chinese team are excited!
Even Yao Ming was very excited, but he found that although Liu Xiu was also very happy, his regret was also visible to the naked eye.

Yao Ming said to Liu Xiu: "Warden, you are still feeling disappointed that you can't fight Gasol... Even if Gasol can't fight, we have to go all out. You saw last night, without Gasol , They can still explode with that kind of strength, and without Gasol, their strength will not be weaker than the Dream Seven team."

"I know, I won't underestimate them because of this," Liu Xiu responded, then paused, and sighed, "I was just thinking, it's a pity that I can't see the match between Brother Yao and Gasol at his peak... In the World Championships, his style of play was pretty good for you, I am curious if you will be blown away by him..."

Yao Ming suddenly stretched out his hand to grab Liu Xiu, but Liu Xiu nimbly retreated to avoid it, turned around and ran wildly, and disappeared from Yao Ming's sight...

Yao Ming is so angry!
Don't worry about this stuff!
He breathed a sigh of relief just now, and then he heard the word "Peak Showdown", full of longing, pride, and a little touch, but this guy finally said this!
...

Compared with the news of Gasol's reimbursement and the 5-8 ranking match, the most discussed topic now is Japan's magical operation of arranging the bronze medal match after the final.

Yingjiang is happy with this schedule, and Rabbit is okay. He has long been used to waking up to watch games in the morning, and the time of 9 o'clock is not bad.

But the Spanish team reached the final, and Spain broadcast the game live at [-] o'clock in the morning. The Spanish Basketball Association seriously protested such a game arrangement.

There is also a hot topic-American fans hope that the Chinese team can win the championship.

The logic is this--the Chinese team won the championship in the end, then the US team lost to the final champion, which is no different from the runner-up.

On the penultimate day of the 2006 World Championships, the basketball world spent such a magical topic.

On September 9rd, the final day is here!
At 10 o'clock in the morning, at the Saitama Super Arena, the Chinese team will face off against the Spanish team!

首节靠着姚明的4分2板3助攻1盖帽、易建联的6分1板、刘秀的5分1板1助攻1抢断，中国队围绕姚明展开攻防，以22比13领先西班牙队9分！
The Spanish team played very hard, Marc Gasol, Navarro, Calderon, Garbajosa, Rudy Fernandez and other stars are outstanding.

But without the tactical core, and probably the strongest player in the international arena, Pau Gasol, the Spanish team's mid-range and long-range attack on Liu Xiu is acceptable, but defending Yao Ming's singles is a disaster!

They didn't even dare to let Yao Ming play singles, and when Yao Ming received the ball inside, they would shrink and pinch.

But the worst thing for the Spanish team was the offense!

The Greek team has similarities with the Italian team. The defensive end is solid and stronger, but in terms of personal ability to protect the frame, Yao Ming is better than any insider in the Greek team.

The four best defensive players in this year's World Championships are Lithuania's Big Z, Spain's Paul Gasol, Serbia's Milicic, and Yao Ming.

Only considering the frame protection, ignoring the short-range and mid-range, Yao Ming is invincible!
Trailing by 9 points in the first quarter, the Spanish team did not give up. In the second quarter, they chose to strengthen their defense, because the offense declined more than the defense. The defense can also be improved by strengthening the confrontation and speeding up the rotation. No, Navarro's steel cannon attack the night before, met Liu Xiu and Yi Jianlian's defense switch, Yao Ming's frame protection, and played very average without Gasol's support and support.

In the second quarter, the Spanish team limited the scoring of the Chinese team to 20 points, allowing the Chinese team to score only 16 points, but the Spanish team only had 15 points.

After halftime, the Chinese team led the Spanish team by 38 points 28 to 10!
In the third quarter, the Spanish team struggled for half the time, and after a halftime period that was not enough time, the defensive end failed to tighten up at the beginning.

Liu Xiu seized the opportunity and scored three goals in a row, and then scored four goals in a row after starting the "Kobe Time". He made the Spanish team 4 to 16, widening the point difference from 7 points to 10 points, 19 Leading by 54!

This wave of critical attacks knocked out the soul of the Spanish team. With such a start, the Chinese team scored 27 to 15 in the third quarter. At the end of the third quarter, the Chinese team scored 65 to 43. 22 points ahead of the Spanish team to seal the victory!

In the final quarter, the Spanish team rushed again. Yao Ming's frame protection performance and shooting performance declined in the final quarter. The Chinese team only scored 19 points in the final quarter, and the Spanish team scored 26 points.

However, the Chinese team did not have the influence of their own offensive performance decline and the opponent's hard pursuit, and firmly held the victory.

2006年9月3号中午11点58分，日本琦玉超级竞技场，男子篮球世界锦标赛决赛的终场哨声响起。

刘秀21投11中，其中三分球4中2，加上6中5的罚球，拿到29分4板3助攻2抢断，姚明9投6中拿到15分14板6助攻4盖帽。

Under the leadership of the two, the Chinese team defeated the Spanish team 84 to 69 and won the 15th Men's Basketball World Championship!
