NBA peak

Chapter 360 Playing Too Conservatively

There is a broadcast area in the front row of the competition venue. This time, the all-round commentator Yang Jian and the guest Zhang Weiping are responsible for explaining the men's basketball game.

Before the official start of the game, Yang Jian and Zhang Weiping were jokingly discussing the current situation of Chinese basketball.

Yang Jian laughed out loud. He likes to partner with Zhang Weiping, and the fans also think that the two of them commenting together are full of laughs and very interesting.

When the two of them were chatting happily at the commentary booth, the scene had already entered the opening ceremony.

International competitions are different from the NBA. Each team has 12 players. Whether they play or not, they must be introduced in detail.

When the Côte d'Ivoire players were introduced, the cheers were overwhelming.

Many old Chinese CBA fans are very familiar with the Côte d'Ivoire team. Ramizana and Thompson really appeared in the Côte d'Ivoire's rotation list.

The audience gave the Ivorian team enough respect, and the Ivorian athletes also liked China very much. Their head coach personally brought the players and Chinese fans question marks.

After introducing the players of the Côte d'Ivoire team, it was the turn of the host team, China.

Ge Feng was the last to be introduced by the host, but when the host introduced Ge Feng, all the fans were like crazy, shouting desperately and waving the red flag in their hands desperately.

Ge Feng smiled embarrassedly, and extended his hand to greet everyone.

The status of the FMVP of the NBA Finals can still help Ge Feng open up his popularity.

After the introduction of the players from both sides, the team list was also submitted to the technical desk.

The roster has the starting roster for the game marked on it.

The starting line-up for Côte d'Ivoire is:

There are 183cm point guard Cisse and 184cm shooting guard Paba on the back line.On the front line are forward Diabate who can pass the ball, Cohen, the inside core, and small forward Thompson who is facing Ge Feng.

China's starting list is relatively fixed.

The combination of Guo Ailun and Zhao Jiwei in the backcourt, the small forward is Ge Feng, and the inside line is the "moving Great Wall" composed of Zhou Qi and Yi Jianlian.

Similar to Côte d'Ivoire's style, China has always played with the inside as the core.

Cohen and Diabate seem to be invincible in Africa, but their advantage is not obvious in front of Yi Jianlian and Zhou Qi.

Although Zhou Qi's confrontation was a bit weak, Zhou Qi's mid-range shooting ability was good, and when the Rockets played soy sauce, he also practiced a good three-pointer.

After the referee whistled, Zhou Qi returned the ball to half court, giving the Chinese team the first opportunity to attack.

Guo Ailun took the ball to the scene and glanced at Ge Feng and Yi Jianlian.

Zhao Jiwei and Yi Jianlian successively provided cover for Ge Feng.

It seems that Ge Feng returned to the men's basketball team and was used by the head coach Li Nan as the core of the offense.

Zhao Jiwei and Yi Jianlian's pick-and-roll quality is not very good, and the Chinese players are still thin, and they are easily squeezed by the thick and strong African men.

Ge Feng was finally followed by Thompson again, without a chance to catch the ball.

There were pitiful boos from the stands.

Côte d'Ivoire seems to have prepared in advance, and their research on the Chinese team is very thorough.

Guo Ailun lobbed the ball to the inside and was directly intercepted by Cohen.

Chinese style of play is still too traditional!
Cisse and Paba quickly counterattacked, and the relatively small backcourt has a very fast defensive counterattack.

Guo Ailun and Zhao Jiwei failed to catch up with them, and could only watch helplessly as Cisse made an empty basket.

The defensive counterattack was successful, and the morale of Côte d'Ivoire was high. They directly played a 6-2 attack wave in the first half of the first quarter.

The defense in the World Series is very strong, and the rules of the World Series are completely different from those in the NBA.

The World Series is not a body hair foul.

In the fierce physical confrontation, each team scored very few points.

Even sometimes, the two teams in the game play the whole game, and the total score of the winning side is not as high as the NBA's half-time score.

Seeing that more than half of the first quarter passed, the Chinese fans felt a little anxious.

Could it be that Ge Feng is just a showman, he can't cope with the fierce competition of the World Series? !

Ge Feng has not gotten an offensive opportunity until now, and Côte d'Ivoire has done a good job of restricting Ge Feng.

The Chinese team currently has only one goal hit by Yi Jianlian.

The rhythm of the game was firmly controlled by Côte d'Ivoire.

In the second half, the Chinese team strengthened their defensive strength. After Yi Jianlian blocked a high-quality split, Ge Feng circled behind the three-point line.

Guo Ailun gave the ball to Ge Feng immediately.

Thompson swooped in to defend, but it was too late.

Ge Feng's shooting speed will not give Thompson a chance to interfere at all.

"Shh."

The crisp sound of net blasting directly made the fans on the sidelines boil.

Halfway through the first quarter, Ge Feng finally had a chance to make a move!
And it was the first time Ge Feng made a move!
Ge Feng's hands are also terrifyingly stable in the international arena. The fans who doubted Ge Feng just now feel a lot more at ease.

Cohen from Côte d'Ivoire was very active. After Ge Feng hit a three-pointer, Cohen shook his hand and passed a good ball inside to Diabate.

Zhou Qi couldn't stand Diabate at all. After turning around, Diabate hit the board and scored again.

8 is better than 5!

Côte d'Ivoire once again stabilized the point difference.

The starters sent by China seem to have been targeted by Côte d'Ivoire!At this time, many fans began to question Li Nan's coaching ability.

Will you line up your troops? Why can't Yi Jianlian and Ge Feng even touch the ball after they play?
Li Nan's transformation speed is actually very fast.

The Chinese team kept changing players, replacing Ge Feng and Zhao Jiwei one after another, allowing Zhai Xiaochuan and Zhao Rui to score.

The combination of double point guards does not seem to be able to deliver firepower to the Chinese team's striker.

Li Nan let Zhao Rui and Zhai Xiaochuan play to use their breakthrough ability to help Yi Jianlian relieve the pressure on the inside.

This change of formation has achieved good results. Zhou Qi and Zhai Xiaochuan scored 5 points together, helping the Chinese team to close the point difference to 3 point with more than 1 minutes left in the first quarter.

But soon, Côte d'Ivoire adjusted.

When Zhai Xiaochuan and Zhao Rui did not break through so easily, their shooting percentages on the outside began to continue to decline.

Thompson's aggressive performance on both ends of the offense and defense, Côte d'Ivoire suddenly broke out, shooting a wave of 9-1 attacks from inside and outside, widening the difference between the two teams to 9 points.

At the end of the first quarter, Guo Ailun missed the final buzzer. At the end of the first quarter, Côte d'Ivoire led the Chinese men's basketball team 19-10.

This time, Weibo, Zhihu, and Hupu in China exploded all of a sudden.

"That's all? Want to break into the top 8 in the world? Isn't that funny!"

"What did Ge Feng do in the first quarter? There was only one shot and 1 points?"

"Don't say that, 3 points is pretty good, okay, Yi Jianlian only got 2 points..."

"Hey, I'm blind... It's a pity that I had unlimited hopes for this Chinese team before the game. I didn't expect them to be abused so badly by Côte d'Ivoire, the weakest in Group A..."
