Chapter 566 The Universiade

July is an exciting month.

Because of the success of the Olympic bid, it seems that everything has changed for the better.

The sun has become brighter, the air has become fresher, the water to drink has become sweeter, and everyone has become more powerful in playing games.

On August 8st, the 1st World University Games opened in BJ.

This is a large-scale sports meeting that China attaches great importance to. We have sent very strong players to participate in almost every event, and there are even Olympic champions among them.Many team competitions have sent national players to participate, in order to strive for good results at home.

Surprisingly, the men's basketball team did not do that.

Previously, the men's basketball team disclosed by the media was half of the national team. However, the official explanation was that "the media got it wrong."

The new list will be announced soon.

Liu Wei, Wang Shipeng, Zhu Fangyu, Du Feng, Yao Liang, Xue Yuyang, Hu Xuefeng, Zhang Qingpeng, Tang Zhendong, Mo Ke, Zhang Kai, Chen Ke.

It is the group of young people who participated in the NBA draft before.Except for Yao Liang, the others are only members of the National Youth Team.

When they saw this list, everyone was worried.

"Can these young men do it?"

"Why is there no Li Nan? Isn't he from Nanjing University?"

"Why is there no Wang Dazhi? Wang Dazhi is also a college student!"

"If only there were Li Nan and Wang Dazhi."

After all, it is a game held at their own home court. Everyone hopes that China can compete in style and level to win glory for the country.

The leaders of the Basketball Association are also sweating behind their backs.

"Xiao Li, Xiao Li!"

This is our Universiade!The only sports team that dares to make such a move is their basketball team!
However, after the game started, everyone finally felt at ease.

The Chinese team went all the way through and broke into the semi-finals with 5 consecutive victories.

Yao Liang, the No. 28 pick in the new NBA draft, is in top form, averaging 15 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists and [-] blocks per game.

Zhu Fangyu averaged 4 three-pointers per game, 20 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists, which is completely killer.Someone even gave him the title of "Asia's second shooter" after Li Nan.

Liu Wei averaged 11 assists per game and was the field commander of the Chinese team.

Xue Yuyang has to contribute a few beautiful dunks in every game, making the game more pleasing to the eye.

The Chinese team averaged 5 points per game in 92 games, with a net advantage of 7.9 points, second only to the US college team, which ranks first in Group C.

The wonderful performance of this group of young people from the Chinese University Team did not disappoint the elders in their hometown at all.Instead, it made everyone look forward to it.Looking forward to the match between the Chinese team and the US team.

In the semi-finals, the opponent of the Chinese team was the mighty US team.

The US varsity team is truly invincible.

In this competition, Caroline, the press officer of the US college team, declared that they "are here to win the championship."

In this Universiade, they have always won the game with a crushing momentum. They averaged 108 points per game and an average margin of 39.8 points per game.What's even more frightening is that they maintain a 46-game winning streak that can continue!

46 straight wins!

In other words, the US college team has not lost for many years.

The varsity lineup is: Roger Mason, Juan Dixon, Melvin Eli, Andre Barrett, Justin Reed, Maurice Baker, Earl Barron , Lynn Greer, Temar Slee, Dan Dickau, Lonnie Baxter, Chris Owens.

They will indeed enter the NBA in the future, but they are now real college students, almost all at the age of 21, and their overall strength is not weaker than that of the summer league teams.

The lineup of the Chinese team is: Liu Wei, Wang Shipeng, Zhu Fangyu, Du Feng, Yao Liang, Xue Yuyang, Hu Xuefeng, Zhang Qingpeng, Tang Zhendong, Mo Ke, Zhang Kai, Chen Ke.

I don’t need to talk about whether the Chinese team players are college students or not, but the age has to suffer some disadvantages. Our players are almost 20 or so, and the opponents are all 21, two or three years old.In terms of game experience, the American team should have an advantage. However, our Chinese players will not be too far behind. After all, many games organized by the LYN training camp also have confrontations with American players.

To be honest, comparing the strengths of the two sides, the US team should have a slight advantage.

However, the game has never been that whoever has the stronger overall strength will definitely win.

The same goes for this game.

At the beginning of the game, it was confirmed that Yao Liang, who had grown to 226 in height, caused a lot of trouble for the opponent in the paint.

3 goals in a row!
Yao Liang led the Chinese team to a wave of 10-3.

The U.S. team does not have the height of the inside line, so it is quite a disadvantage for Yao Liang's defense.Attacking the inside of the Chinese team also failed several times.

At the beginning of the first half, the Chinese team suppressed the US team.The point difference slowly widened to 10 points.

However, in the second half, the US team quickly made adjustments.

Catch back and forth, play fast break!Positional warfare, fight outside!
The US team's frequent attacks on the outside made the Chinese team with big men very uncomfortable.

The Chinese team relies too much on Yao Liang. Yao Liang's physical energy is consumed in the constant back and forth. He has to expand on the defensive end and is surrounded by many people on the offensive end. He is too tired to play.

Wang Fei guided several adjustments, but none of them had much effect.

Soon, the score was also forced to close, tied, and overtaken.

And at this critical time, someone stood up.

Zhu Fangyu!
Zhu Fangyu held the ball on the outside several times, or made a sudden shot, or made a breakthrough,

His step-back three-pointer that was blocked by the defender ignited the enthusiasm of the fans in the audience.

Zhu Fangyu's sudden inside and outside shots quickly helped the Chinese team stabilize the situation.

With Zhu Fangyu's outside help, Yao Liang gradually eased over.

The combined internal and external Chinese team played [-]-[-] with the US team.

At the last moment, the two sides fought inextricably.

In the last 30 seconds, Yao Liang got Liu Wei's lob inside and was double-teamed by three people.Yao Liang hit the ground and passed the ball without hesitation, and found Zhu Fangyu who used the cover to cut into the inside line.

The people who double-teamed Yao Liang rushed back.

Zhu Fangyu pulled to the side, pulling away the opponent's defense, and then directly threw the ball into the sky.

boom!
Under the basket, Yao Liang pushed the ball into the basket with one hand across the opponent.

86-82,

Yao Liang scored the key goal!
Only 3 seconds left.

The U.S. team then paused and arranged a three-point shot, but was knocked off by Yao Liang's finger.

Beep beep beep!
The game is over!
The Universiade's record of 6 consecutive championships and 46 unbeaten games has passed!

Zhu Fangyu scored a game-high 30 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists.

Yao Liang scored 28 points, 16 rebounds, 5 assists and 4 blocks.

The Chinese team can even win the US team!This makes everyone look forward to the final of the Chinese team.

In the subsequent finals, the Chinese team really lived up to expectations, 98-90,

The Chinese university team defeated Yugoslavia, which had Kings shooter Peja.

In the competition, Yao Liang showed his strength as the new champion.

16中11，罚球6中6 ，三分球2中2，姚亮砍下30分14篮板5助攻4盖帽。

Yao Liang is the biggest contributor to the team's victory.

Another bright spot in this game is Zhu Fangyu.

In the game, the two shooters Zhu Fangyu and Peja scored three points against each other.

Peja made 12 of 6 three-pointers and scored 24 points.

Zhu Fangyu made 10 of 7 three-pointers and scored 25 points.

Such an excellent shooter also makes people think of someone who just won the NBA's three consecutive FMVPs.
