NBA villain

Chapter 526 Spain

In the first round of the knockout round, Spain really lived up to expectations, beating Serbia and Montenegro 87 to 75, and will compete with the Chinese team in the quarter-finals.

The Spanish team's insider Paul Gasol is one of the few insiders that Yang Di doesn't want to face in the NBA. His turn hook, low footsteps, and stable mid-range jumper are all combined in his extraordinary With his height and super long wingspan, it is difficult to interfere and block shots.

In comparison, Duncan is a little easier to defend.

And this year's Spain, the group stage is also a record of victory, especially the game against the host Japan on August 8, 24 to 104 bloodbathed the host, telling the Japanese basketball fans that the slam dunk can only be For the characters in Japanese comics, the gap is the gap.

And when the Chinese men's basketball team, which is also in Asia, can cut through the waves all the way and advance to the quarterfinals, such a World Championship will become less interesting.

Japanese fans were interviewed and said that it is better to watch Japanese football. The Japanese men's basketball team is really disappointing. It is incomparable with the world's top teams and the Chinese team.

The quarter-finals will be held on the 29th, also divided into two days, two games a day.

Spain played against China, Argentina played against Turkey, Greece played against France, and the United States played against Germany.

At this time, the training of Yang Di and others became more and more urgent. All players, including Yang Di, soaked in the training hall every day and conducted targeted training.

Saitama Super Arena is a large stadium in Shintoshin, Chuo-ku, Saitama City.

It is an indoor multifunctional gymnasium with a maximum audience capacity of 37000 people. It can be used for basketball, volleyball, tennis, concerts, TV program recording, speeches, exhibitions and other purposes. In 03, the Sonics and the Lakers played in this arena.

During the World Championships, the surrounding hotel business was very hot, and there was an endless stream of fans who came to watch the game.

"There are thousands of Chinese fans, making it like our home stadium."

Yang Di was very excited when he looked at a group of fans formed by the red area in the stands.

"Are we wearing red jerseys today?"

"No, it seems to be still white?"

"It doesn't make sense. The team uniforms of these countries like to use some red recently." Yang Di spread his hands. He likes to wear the red jerseys of the Chinese team, especially the Chinese style.

"Isn't Spain the country of bullfighters? They are passionate and wild, and red is also their lucky color." Yao Ming explained with a smile.

"Is this game a lot of attention? I think we have always been eager to reach the top four in the world, and today is the best time for us to make a name for ourselves."

Yang Di always has confidence on his face, "To defeat Spain, we must first defeat Pau Gasol."

"Pau Gasol may be the center forward, he is my favorite." Yao Ming's eyes flashed with excitement.

"Really, he has always been a power forward in the NBA?"

"Spain needs his height and wingspan to guard the inside. If Pau Gasol was originally in the penalty area, he doesn't have as strong a rebounding ability as you do."

Yao Ming thinks that Spain's arrangement is reasonable. Pau Gasol is a super center who can play inside and outside in the international arena.

The two chatted for a while, then went back to the locker room and changed their jerseys.

More and more fans are entering the arena, and the time until the start of the game is getting shorter and shorter.

Players from both sides re-entered the field and began a simple warm-up training. The national flags of Spain and China were hoisted.

中国的首发没有变化，西班牙的首发：卡尔德隆1米91，纳瓦罗1米91，卡洛斯-希门尼斯2米04，乔戈-加巴约萨2米07，保罗-加索尔2米15。

The height of a basketball player is really a magical thing. Pau Gasol’s official registered height in the NBA is 2 meters, but in the international arena, it becomes 13 meters. Similarly, when Yang Di was in the NBA, he is now The registered height is 2 meters, but in the international arena, I don’t know why it is only 15 meters. Who counts this data?
Pau Gasol took off his training jacket, saw Yang Di coming, smiled and shook hands with Yang Di, and then hugged.

"When I was playing in the NBA, what I said was that I had a hunch that I would meet you in the international arena. Sure enough, it was not at all what I expected."

"Then guess again, who will win today's match?"

"The Chinese team has never had a tradition of winning against Spain. The least one time, it lost us by 10 points." Pau Gasol was like a different person, unexpectedly so high-spirited and full of confidence.

Yang Di narrowed his eyes slightly, "That's because the Chinese team is different now without me!"

"is it?"

The two separated, Wei Wei was already angry.

Yao Ming and Pau Gasol were standing together, ready to kick off the ball. Gasol's arms were really long, and he jumped the ball with Yao Ming. He was not affected by his height at all. He stretched out his long arms and touched the basketball first.

Jose Calderon, dribble half court.

Calderon is a typical player who came out of the European youth training camp. In the European league, Calderon showed his super shooting ability and overall view of passing, and gradually attracted the attention of the NBA. Last year, Calderon Entered the NBA undrafted and directly signed with the Raptors. Last season, Calderon represented the Raptors in 64 regular season games, averaging 5.5 points and 4.5 assists per game, showing his commanding skills.

But he has not yet adapted to the NBA's confrontational intensity and the length of the three-point line, and his three-point shooting is a bit inaccurate.

The 25-year-old Calderon showed his talents and gradually entered the golden age of professional players. He also played the main point guard in the Spanish national team.

Calderon raised his arms as a command, and Navarro began to intersperse.

"Follow up!" The coaches of the Chinese coaching staff couldn't help sweating. Navarro is the top scorer in Europe. No matter what the situation, he can hit three-pointers anywhere. He is skilled with the ball, breaks through for layups, and is proficient in small throws. He is nicknamed the bomb.

There is no doubt that if Pau Gasol is the core and pillar of Spain's inside line, Navarro is the leader and scoring center of the Spanish men's basketball team.

Wang Shipeng was under great pressure.

"boom!"

When running back, Wang Shipeng bumped into Paul Gasol's body.

"Change defense!" He roared, his heart sank, and he lost it!

When Calderon got the ball, Navarro caught the ball without adjusting, and directly and quickly shot a three-pointer.

At this time, Yang Di was stuck inside the Spanish power forward Garbajosa who was facing him, and he was beyond the reach of the outside players.

Watching the high-arc basketball fly out, and then "swish", the opening is a precise three-pointer.
