Chapter 164 Fantasy World Championship
At 8:30 a.m. on August 6, BJ time, the first match of the Chinese men's basketball team at the 30th World Championships began——
Group stage Chinese team VS German team!
The Chinese fans who stayed up late to watch the game found Wang Zhizhi in the starting lineup who had been out of news from the media for half a year.Long time no see. Roughly's face is much smaller, but his body is much stronger. The explosive muscle lines are very conspicuous. Maybe he went to bodybuilding?
The Chinese team sent the strongest starting lineup:
Center forward: Yao Bi
Power Forward: Wang Zhizhi
Small Forward: Li Nan
Shooting guard: Hu Weidong
Point guard: Guo Shiqiang
Before the game, Nowitzki also deliberately ran over to say hello to the general, but he didn't know that the danger was coming.
Wang Zhizhi sincerely apologized to Nowitzki: "I'm sorry, driver. Forgive me, forgive me!"
Nowitzki is at a loss. I haven't seen him for half a year. This kid has become abnormal. Why do you apologize?
Two hours later, Novis, who scored 7 points, 6 rebounds, 5 turnovers and 4 fouls, finally knew why Wang Zhizhi apologized!
In half a year, this guy has suddenly turned from a cute little white rabbit into a big devil!
In the whole game, Wang Zhizhi made 18 of 14 shots, scored 32 points, 14 rebounds, 8 blocks, and 6 steals, of which 5 blocks and 5 steals were all done by Nowitzki.
Wang Zhizhi may be the person who knows Nowitzki best in the world. He understands his movement habits, rhythm, and footsteps better than the driver himself.
Nowitzki was about to cry, and he couldn't dodge the beating. Wang Zhizhi seemed to be able to see through his thoughts, and moved one step faster than him.He always comes first, blocks shots if he doesn't steal, and doesn't give him a way out at all!
The German team is also a single-core team. Nowitzki withered, and the others couldn't play.In the end, the Chinese team defeated their opponents with a score of 92-68 and achieved a good start in the World Championships.
The whole of China is boiling, this is the German team, not Angola, Algeria and the like!
The next opponents of the Chinese team are Algeria and the United States. The ambitions of the Chinese people have been aroused at once, and strive to qualify, big brothers!
The grouping of the 16 teams in the group stage is as follows:
Group A: Yugoslavia, Spain, Canada, Angola
Group B: Brazil, Türkiye, Puerto Rico, Lebanon
Group C: United States, China, Germany, Algeria
Group D: Argentina, Russia, New Zealand, Venezuela
The group stage is a single round-robin, only one team is eliminated in each group, 2 points for a win and 1 point for a loss. For example, the Chinese team in Group C needs to play a game against the United States, Germany, and Algeria to get 6 points for a complete victory and 3 points for a complete defeat.
On August 8, BJ time, the Chinese team defeated Algeria 31:108. While winning two consecutive victories, they gave their opponents two consecutive losses.
In this way, with 4 points in hand and 5 points guaranteed, the Chinese team qualified ahead of schedule.
In the last group match, under the leadership of Wang Zhizhi, the China team, which had no pears, played brilliantly against the US team, leading the US team by 62 points 58 to 4 in the first half.
But not long after the start of the third quarter, Yao Bi fouled and was sent off.Although Battelle, who came off the bench, relied on his strong offensive strength, River LaFrentz and Jermaine O'Neal were helpless.But on the defensive end, his shortcomings of slow footsteps and slow turns were targeted by the US team. Paul Pierce and Michael Finley took turns to play misplaced singles, which caused the Chinese team to bleed.
The old and cunning George Karl also discovered the weakness of the Chinese team's point guard and began to press the whole court, so outside mistakes frequently occurred in the second half.
In the end, the Chinese team lost to the US team by 82 points 86:[-]. At the end of the fourth quarter, Hu Weidong hit two consecutive three-pointers, which shocked the US team into a cold sweat.Four points also created the smallest point difference that the Chinese team lost to the US team over the years.
Wang Zhizhi scored a game-high 28 points, 12 rebounds, 3 blocks and 2 steals.Compared with the youthful Yao Bi, Wang Zhizhi is obviously more adaptable to the US team's style of play, but he can't stand alone. The Chinese team's point guard is too weak, and it is difficult to even pass halftime under the pressure of the whole court.
This game exposed the fatal flaw of the Chinese team-the weak point guard.
But the Chinese team almost overthrew the "Dream Five" and let other teams see the weakness of this American team: lack of tacit understanding, simple style of play, weak inside...
After the group stage, Group C points:
The United States has 3 wins and 0 losses with 6 points;
China has 2 wins and 1 loss with 5 points;
Germany has 1 win, 2 losses and 4 points;
Algeria has 0 wins and 3 losses with 3 points.
According to the rules, the top three in each group will enter the rematch, and the last one will be eliminated.
The semi-finals are divided into two groups, of which:
Group E: Spain, Yugoslavia, Angola, Brazil, Puerto Rico, Turkey
Group F: Argentina, United States, China, Germany, New Zealand, Russia
The rematch is still a single round-robin match within the group, and each team will play a game against teams that have not met.
The Chinese team needs to play one game each with New Zealand, Argentina and Russia.
On September 9, the Chinese team faced the Argentine team.
Inspired by the U.S. team, Argentina pressed hard at the beginning of the game. In the first 5 minutes, the Chinese team was completely unable to attack. In the first quarter, Argentina led by 32 points at 12:20.
Argentina's two-pronged approach not only blasted the Chinese team's defenders, but also used Ginobili as an arrow to frequently rush into the basket to find Yao Bi's fouls. Yao Bi, who was fouled three times, was soon protected by coach Faye Wong and put on the bench.
When the outside line was not strong, Wang Zhizhi had to retreat outside the three-point line again and again, and began to organize offenses with the ball, similar to what Kevin Garnett did in the Timberwolves, being both a father and a mother.
In the end, the Chinese team lost 84 to 95 at the feet of the American champion Argentina.
Wang Zhizhi once again scored a game-high 25 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists, but Argentina's three-point shooting rate was as high as 64.3%. The Chinese team's outside line is purely undefensive!
For the same reason, the Chinese team was shot to death by the Russian team, 78:95, the outside line was undefended, and there were only three Great Walls, there was nothing to do!
In the final match of the rematch, the Chinese team defeated New Zealand 98:92 because they had roughly transformed into an iron-blooded real man, so the big reversal did not occur.Roughly 22 points and 16 rebounds, Yao Bi 27 points, Xiao Li Feidao 30 points.
At the end of the rematch, the Chinese team has 4 points for one win and two losses, plus 5 points for the group stage, a total of 9 points.It has the same points as the German team, but the Chinese team has defeated the German team, so the ranking is higher, ranking third in Group F and fourth in Germany.
The top four of the rematch two groups will advance to the 1/8 finals, and the bottom two will participate in the 9-12 qualifying round.
The final points for the top eight are:
Group E: Puerto Rico 11 points, Spain 11 points, Yugoslavia 10 points, Brazil 10 points
Group F: Argentina 12 points, USA 11 points, China 9 points, Germany 9 points
The Chinese team successfully advanced to the top eight with No.3 in Group F, tying the previous best result of the national team. Congratulations!
