Chapter 551 [Promote to the Top 4, Step on Your Feet]
Gasol hesitated when he received the basketball.
He barely shoots threes in the NBA, the three-point line is closer in the World Championships than in the NBA, and he's perfectly capable of taking it, but there's a voice in his head that stops him from doing it.
If you can't vote, don't vote.
This voice is his heart.
Gasol passed, and he lost to himself.
The Spanish pitchers were all stared at, and there was no easy shot after several passes. In the end, Navarro interfered with Wang Jun's jumper and the ball missed the basket.
With only 12 seconds left, Yi Jianlian grabbed the rebound and passed it to Liu Wei who was nearby. Calderon fouled. Spain must use foul tactics to stop the game, otherwise it will undoubtedly lose.
It's a pity that this is useless. The Chinese people present are not inaccurate in free throws, even Yi Jianlian's shooting percentage is more than 70%.
Liu Wei withstood the pressure, made two free throws steadily, and waved his arms excitedly when returning to defense.
110 to 105, unless a miracle happens, the Chinese team will win.
Even if the rush shot hits a three-pointer, Spain will have to use foul tactics again.
Spain's offense, Calderon quickly took the frontcourt to shoot a three-pointer and missed. The rebound was grabbed by Gasol.
Yi Jianlian grabbed the rebound, and with 4.7 seconds left, Garbajosa fouled again.
Spain doesn't want to lose, but they have already lost. This foul will only allow the Chinese team to score easily and widen the point difference.
Yi Jianlian made two free throws without pressure, 112 to 105.
Spain gave up and no more fouls.
Yu Jia shouted excitedly: "We won. The Chinese team defeated the powerful Spain and advanced to the semi-finals. The great Wang Jun led the Chinese men's basketball team to a historic breakthrough with a key three-pointer."
Zhang Lili said with a smile: "This moment will be recorded in the annals of history. I think Wang Jun has already secured the scoring champion and MVP of this competition."
Wang Jun scored 43 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists. His performance was very comprehensive.
Zhang Lili has no regrets about his scoring average record being broken. He kept praising Wang Jun. "He still has a chance to hit the world championship record of Brazilian legend Oscar Schmidt with 35.5 points per game,
It's just unbelievable. "
Yu Jia said with a smile: "The match between Argentina and Turkey will be played later, and the winner will meet the Chinese team in the semi-finals. I think it is likely to be against the Olympic champion Argentina. This is also a test."
press conference. A Chinese reporter interviewed Wang Jun and asked: "The Chinese team defeated Spain in a record. Can you tell us your thoughts?"
Wang Jun said flatly: "It was not easy to win this game. We relied on teamwork and fighting spirit. We played an efficient offensive performance, and we need to strengthen the defensive end."
to him. It is not worth being happy to enter the semi-finals. As long as you are eliminated, even if you win the runner-up, it is a failure.
The Japanese reporter asked in English: "Do you think it is possible for the Chinese team to win the championship?"
"We can only fight one game at a time, let's talk about it after the next round."
Wang Jun didn't have the confidence to beat Mengqi. The Chinese team lost both warm-up games and one group match. They lost in athletic ability, and players can only rely on zone defense to limit opponents' breakthroughs.
The only weakness of Mengqi is the lack of low-post offense. Howard is too rough and can play a better role in defense. The other insiders like to pull out and play pick-and-rolls. Brand is the best post up. He is only 203CM tall, and he is a bit weak in defense.
And this time, Mengqi made a good three-pointer, and there are strong men like Wade and James in the breakthrough, which is really difficult to deal with.
Unlike Wang Jun, the teammates talked a lot about it, and some of them were very happy when they entered the semi-finals.
This is a good thing. In the next game, they will relax and have no pressure. If you lose, no one will blame you. If you win, you will be even more beautiful.
And the value of CBA players will rise. They will definitely make more money in the future, and this World Championship has gilded them.
Later in the game, Argentina beat Turkey to advance to the semi-finals.
In the United States, NBA Commissioner David Stern is also concerned about the World Championships. Some depressed.
Wang Jun has played well in the international arena, and more people think he has dominated the NBA. He is different from Ginobili. Back in the NBA, Ginobili is only the second or third leader in the Spurs, and Duncan is pressing him.
It's great that Wang Jun became a star and opened up the Chinese market. But it's a bit too much for a Chinese to steal all the limelight from the local stars.
Let a foreigner rule the NBA? Step on all the stars? Stern didn't want to see this.
If it was James who won two MVPs and championships in the third year, the league would have already promoted one championship over Kobe and two championships over Sharks, but they did not promote Wang Jun in this way.
The Chinese team reached the semi-finals, and NBA officials didn't mention Wang Jun much.
Now Stern is a little worried about Dream 7, he must win the championship, at least regain the supremacy of international basketball, if he loses again, he will lose face.
The next day, the Chinese media put the men's basketball game on the headlines. They touched everyone's hearts, just like the Chinese women's volleyball team back then.
Wang Jun's data overwhelmed a group of NBA stars. There are too many stars in Dream 7, and it is impossible to concentrate the ball in the hands of one person.
The players rested for two days, and Wang Jun couldn't go out to the streets at all. Many Japanese fans held signs outside the hotel, preparing to surround him.
On the 30th, the United States eliminated Germany and Greece eliminated France. The two teams will meet in the semifinals.
On the 31st, the four teams that were eliminated in the last round had a qualifying match. Turkey defeated Lithuania and France defeated Germany.
The media made predictions for the two semi-finals. No one was optimistic about Greece's defeat of Dream Seven, which was called a game without suspense. Greece has no players currently playing in the NBA.
Argentina VS China, 40% of the people who are optimistic about the Chinese team, although not as good as Argentina, but not bad. If it was in 2004, no one believed that the Chinese team could beat Argentina, even Chinese fans.
The team is favored, but the Argentine coaches and players are very low-key. In the interview before the game, they only said that they will try their best to win, and did not shout the slogan of winning.
Predictions on the Internet are more based on past records and lineup competition, and Argentina's insiders are at a disadvantage.
The starting center Fabrio Oberto defends the inside line of other countries is not bad, and he can be called a defensive champion. But in the NBA, the Spurs would never allow Oberto, a fringe center with a height of 208cm and a weight of 110kg, to defend Yao Ming.
Power forward position, Yi Jianlian VS Scola, Scola is stronger, he has rich game experience, as early as 2002, he was selected by the Spurs at the 56th place, and he is recognized as the second star. He has a contract and cannot enter the NBA.
Small forward Nocioni is better than Zhu Fangyu. Zhu Fangyu is better in three-pointers, but inferior in other aspects. After winning the championship with the Bulls, more people are optimistic about Nocioni's future.
The shooting guard is the core of the two teams, Ginobili VS Wang Jun, people believe that Wang Jun will have the upper hand in the matchup, and China will have the upper hand. Ginobili is an All-Star, but Wang Jun is the MVP. It would be difficult for Ginobili to guard against him in a one-on-one match.
A little better than backup Argentina, power forward Herman with 58.5% field goal percentage and 40.2% three-point shooting percentage. And the 2003 rookie, Pistons swingman Delfino.
China's substitutes mainly rely on Wang Zhizhi, Sun Yue, Wang Shipeng, and Du Feng, and their offensive firepower is not bad.
The two key positions are dominant, and the Chinese team is fully capable of winning.
