Especially after Sun Hao returned to China, the Chinese team won quite easily.

This made the fans enthusiastic and at the same time gave Li Yuanwei full confidence.

Treat the World Championships as the Asian Championships!

This is a bit proud, and a bit poisonous, but there is this capital!

In fact, when Su Qun directly used this sentence as the title of the article in the "Basketball Pioneer News", the domestic fans collectively climaxed.

"This is the Chinese men's basketball team!"

"Chinese Dream Team SA!"

"No no, let's not dream, we are the golden generation."

"Hey, I heard that the NBA has started to pay attention to Sun Yue, our basketball talents are now one after another!"

"This is a virtuous circle! Now the domestic youth training is also booming!"

"It's not just the youth training. Because of Sun Hao's influence, more and more people are willing to train their children to play. I heard that the CBA is already planning the draft!"

"It's a good thing. As long as the base number increases, good seedlings can be selected in the draft. This is a real virtuous circle!"

"Okay, let's not talk too far, let's talk about this World Championship!"

"There is nothing to talk about, China is the champion!"

"Big brother, you're bloated!"

"Where is it swollen?"

"Why do I feel like a car is driving past?"

……

The grouping of the World Championships has been determined a long time ago, and the Chinese team was divided into Group B. The specific grouping is as follows:

Group A: Argentina, Serbia and Montenegro, Nigeria, Lebanon, France, Germany

Group B: China, Japan, Australia, Slovenia, Puerto Rico, Senegal

Group C: Spain, Italy, Angola, Panama, New Zealand, Venezuela

Group D: United States, Lithuania, Greece, Turkey, Brazil, Qatar

It is worth mentioning that this year's World Championships is different from previous years. There are a total of 24 teams participating in four groups with 6 teams in each group.

Then the 6 teams will circulate within the group, and the top four in the group will advance to the top 1, and then follow-up single-game knockout matches will be conducted in the order of A4 vs. B[-] until the final championship is determined.

This competition system is the first time since the World Championships, and this competition system has a lot to do with the luck of the draw.

For example, Qatar and Turkey in Group D are more unlucky. Not to mention they are divided with the US team, Lithuania and Greece in the same team are both European champions, and even Brazil is now their golden generation.

In contrast, the host team, Japan, is relatively comfortable. The same team, Slovenia and Puerto Rico, failed to qualify in the losing round and participated with wild cards.

What is a wild card?

The official spends money to sell the quota, and the one who pays the price gets the wild card.

Some people may ask why Japan is so lucky?

Good luck is of course metaphysics, do you think there are other things!

Well, Japanese fans think so, they are favored by the goddess of luck.

But compared to Japanese fans, Chinese fans are more excited!

Li Yuanwei said to play the World Championships as the Asian Championships, okay, now we will be directly in the same group as Japan!

This is the real lucky.boy!

And you may not believe it, the opening match of Group B is China VS Japan, the battle of focus.

After the Chinese team arrived in Japan, they started a relatively relaxed training mode.

The current strength of the Chinese team has reached here, and it is more about the mentality. He does not want the players to have too much pressure before the game.

Soon after Sun Hao arrived in Japan, he and Nowitzki went to experience the local characteristics.

What are you thinking about? Of course, things with island country characteristics... are not something to buy now.

They ran off to eat Kobe steak.

This kind of steak can only be eaten here in the most authentic way. The two of them tasted really good after eating it.

And when the two were eating, they unconsciously talked about a topic, Kobe and Kobe.

This is a story that many people know.

Kobe's father, Joe Bryant, was still playing for the 76ers. He and his wife ate a very delicious steak at a Japanese restaurant in Philadelphia.

The English name of the steak is "Kobe. beef", which is the well-known Kobe steak.

So they agreed that the child would be named Kobe after birth.

This is a very interesting story, but I couldn't help laughing bitterly while talking about Nowitzki.

In the past, it was O'Neal who had conflicts with Kobe, but now he is also a little helpless towards Kobe.

He has sacrificed a lot for the team's performance in the past two years, but last year the team's black eight hit him too hard.

You must know that such a thing as a black eight is much rarer than a championship.

"He is like a child who doesn't grow up. He always likes to do things in his own way, and he doesn't think much about the feelings of people around him."

For the first time, Sun Hao heard the voice of complaining about Kobe from Nowitzki.

But this is already very rare. If the husband and wife do not get along well, there will be many conflicts after getting along for a long time, let alone between teammates.

"Didn't you say you were going to change the head coach?"

Sun Hao did not agree, Kobe's personality change needs an opportunity, but not now.

And Kobe doesn't necessarily have to change his personality, he has the strength to maintain his own personality.

The bigger problem for the Mavericks now is the head coach. If the old Nelson is still coaching, the Mavericks will have a high probability of securing the Western Conference semifinals.

As for going further, it depends on the opponent and their performance.

"Mark trusted Avery."

Nowitzki shook his head, then sighed.

Sun Hao, I really feel sorry for the old driver.

The teammates can't change, the coach can't change, it's hell.

No, not necessarily.

"Did you try talking to Mark?"

Sun Hao was very curious. Cuban's love for Nowitzki can already be called doting.

If Nowitzki speaks, nothing is non-negotiable.

"No, I won't do that."

Nowitzki's answer was straightforward.

Sun Hao froze for a moment, then smiled helplessly.

It really doesn't look like something Dirk Nowitzki would do.

You've heard a lot in history about Cuban doting on Nowitzki, but you've never heard about what Nowitzki asked Cuban to do.

If James is considered an extreme, then Nowitzki is another extreme.

"Dirk, I have a feeling that if nothing changes, the Mavericks could have a big shakeup next season."

Sun Hao said.

If it was someone else, he wouldn't say that, because it sounded a bit like a crow's mouth.

But because it was Nowitzki, he spoke out his truest thoughts.

When people encounter difficulties, actively seeking change is the best solution. If it remains unchanged, it is likely to be changed by external factors.

Before he just felt that Kobe might go to the Clippers, but now listening to the recent situation of the Mavericks, this possibility is really not small.

Some people will say that the Clippers have no bargaining chips.

Everything is possible in the NBA, just like who would have thought that the Clippers could trade Gasol during the offseason?

It's nothing more than pulling a third party.

For example, to pull the Heat, Brand was sent to the Heat who lacked insiders, Odom went to the Clippers, and the Heat’s first-round Gary Livingston added a head and a large number of draft picks to the Mavericks for Kobe. Just take shape?

"That's not something I can change, I'm just in charge of playing."

Nowitzki's words sounded very depressed.

Sure enough, people will change with the environment. When the Lone Ranger was still a Maverick, how happy he was when he and Nowitzki fought side by side.

……

The opening game of the World Championships is Argentina against France.

The indelible fact is that Stern had a huge impact on world basketball.

Along with the globalization of the NBA, Argentina, Brazil, Spain, France, and now China have all given birth to their respective golden generations.

Argentina and France, two teams with completely different styles, have a lot of NBA players in the same team.

Ginobili, Nocioni, Oberto, Delfino, Parker, Dior, Pietrus...

It's an NBA scramble if you don't take into account the jerseys they're wearing.

In the end, the overall strength of the Argentine team was even better, and the victory of the game was already established at the end of the third quarter.

After all, they have the fiba killer Manu Ginobili.

Parker can play well in the NBA, but in Fiba games, he is just a younger brother in front of Ginobili.

Not to mention the existence of Scola's fiba insider bug.

But after the game, no one in the Argentine team was happy.

Fiba does not have a low opinion of them, but their ambitions are obviously more than that.

The championship is the only goal of this team now.

Lost to Yugoslavia in the World Championships, runner-up;

Lost to China in the Olympics, still runner-up!

They are at the peak, but this peak will not last long, the desire for the champion in their hearts is visible to the naked eye!

During the prime time at night, the arena is full of seats.

The match between China and Japan is about to start!

More than half of the seats were Japanese fans, and nearly half of the rest were Chinese fans!

Across the sea, even though Japanese fans had organized to snap up tickets before the game, Chinese fans still snatched up so many tickets!

Being able to witness this kind of competition in person is a hundred times better than watching it on TV.

When the Chinese team entered the stadium, the Chinese fans couldn't help cheering excitedly.

It's as if this is their home field!

But this is Chinese fans!

And the Chinese men's basketball team does have the capital to make them confident now.

Look at those people warming up on the field!

Wang Zhizhi, Warriors rotation player!

Zhu Fangyu, the Chinese forward who hit 4 three-pointers in a single game in the finals! Members of the NBA Championship!

Yi Jianlian, NBA All-Star starting power forward in the Eastern Conference!

Yao Ming, the number one center in the NBA!

Sun Hao, No.1 active player in NBA!

This, that's it, anyone would have to float!
