"Dayao, you are in a terrible situation."
Another day's training session started, but Wang Hao just said this when he arrived.
Yao Ming looked surprised: "What's wrong?"
"The guys from the US team are eyeing you, and they're all betting on who can dunk on your head."
In the original time and space, Wang Hao had heard about this matter, but it was just some rumors.
Who would have thought, this time he really knew.
Paul Pierce, that guy who doesn't do anything in personnel, even made an appointment with the entire US team to make a bet together.
400 US dollars per person, whoever can dunk on Yao Ming's head first will get the money.
"what happened?"
"What else can happen, you are the No. [-] pick in this year's draft, which is really enviable.
You know, just like those members of the US team today, when they entered the league, they did not have the status of the champion. "
"No, you can't blame me, can you?"
Yao Ming was a little speechless, this is really a disaster for no reason, he is also very helpless!
"It's true that I can't blame you, but people are willing to bet on you, so what can you do?
However, you don't have to worry, the current American team is average, and there are not many strong guys.
Don't worry, just play well, and teach them a lesson when the time comes. "
Wang Hao is not talking nonsense. Today's American Team Dream Team, also known as the Dream Team Five, is really not good!
Baron Davis, Jay Williams, Andre Miller, Michael Finley, Reggie Miller, Paul Pierce, Sean Marion, Antonio Davis, Elton Brand, Ben Wallace , Lev LaFrentz and Nick Collison.
Among these people, there are no first-class stars, that is, a few players who have reached the All-Star level.
Even Jay Williams, like Yao Ming, just entered the league this year.
As for Nick Collison, he hasn't even entered the NBA, but from the NCAA.
It can only be said that today's US team is really conceited to the extreme.
It seems to them that as long as they randomly send out a few people, they can show off their might in the world of basketball.
As everyone knows, world basketball is also making rapid progress.
To defeat the US team, Wang Hao really didn't think about it casually, but it was very possible.
After all, in this year's World Championships in the original time and space, the results of the Americans were very average.
Not only did he not get a medal, but even his ranking was poor.
Other teams are capable of the US team, but not the Huaxia team?
Time flies to August 8, and the 29 Indiana Men's Basketball World Championship is about to start.
The opener was played by Yugoslavia and Angola.
The results are self-evident. Yugoslavia beat Angola by 50 points and got a good start in the group stage.
This is the Yugoslav blue flag team, Yugoslavia before its disintegration.
Even after the disintegration, whether it is Serbia, Montenegro, or Serbia.
After many years, those are all teams that have played excellent records in the international basketball world.
The strength of the Yugoslavia team is indeed extraordinary.
At the end of the same day, it was American time, and if it was changed to Chinese time, it would be the morning of the 30th.
"CCTV, CCTV..."
At 6 o'clock in the morning, CCTV started today's TV broadcast early.
Not only the hosts and commentators of the TV station, but also countless fans got up early in the morning.
Huaxia has a vast territory. At this point in time, it would be fine if it was in the east, as it was already dawn.
But if it was changed to the west, it would still be dark.
There are even some fans who simply watch TV for a while before going to work.
There is no more reason, they just want to support Huaxia, their own national team.
Today, the Huaxia team's first opponent in the World Championships is the German team from Europe.
Before the game, Wang Hao and Wang Zhizhi also met with Nowitzki and simply said hello.
To be honest with the German team, Wang Hao is still confident.
Today's German team is not bad, but it is definitely not the strongest time.
In the German team, now only Nowitzki can play in the NBA.
Of course, not playing in the NBA, but also playing in the European League, the strength of the German team should not be underestimated.
After the shooting warm-up is over, the referee has also communicated with the technical table, and the game officially begins.
I would also like to talk about the starters of the two teams today. The German team sent a starter with two guards.
Roller and Dimirel are both over 180 centimeters tall. They are typical small guards with high speed.
At the small forward position is Rodel, the oldest player in the German team, who is 33 years old this year.
Obviously, the head coach of the German team, Dittmann, hopes to use these veterans to slightly limit Wang Hao.
As for the inside line, Nowitzki and Fleming are partners. Both of them are over 210 centimeters tall and have strong air defense capabilities.
The Huaxia team is actually an old-fashioned starting lineup, which has not changed from the past.
Guo Shiqiang, Hu Weidong, Wang Hao, and Wang Zhizhi and Yao Ming.
At the beginning of the game, Yao Ming took advantage of his height and grabbed the first chance to attack in this game.
Guo Shiqiang dribbled the ball halfway, and he didn't delay, and immediately gave the ball to Wang Hao on the flank.
And Wang Hao didn't delay, and immediately gave the ball to Yao Ming inside.
The Huaxia team has an advantage in the paint, and if they don't take advantage of this advantage, then there is something wrong with their brains.
The German team, perhaps because of self-confidence, or because of unfamiliarity, did not choose to double-team.
Facing the big center of the German team, Fleming, Yao Ming hit his back and hit a very easy close-range hook.
2:0
Yes, it's that easy.
With a height advantage of more than ten centimeters, it is not too easy to easily get a mobile phone opportunity.
Looking back, the German team's offense, through transmission from the outside, also gave the ball to Nowitzki.
As the core of the German team, Nowitzki not only has to bear the responsibility of the offensive end point, but also he is the one who initiates the attack.
The Huaxia team chose to let Wang Zhizhi defend Nowitzki alone.
To be honest, there is something wrong with this tactical arrangement, maybe the head coach Wang Fei is not familiar with Nowitzki.
Of course, it is also possible that Wang Fei trusts Wang Zhizhi a lot.
When Wang Zhizhi was in the Bayi team, he once played under Wang Fei, which can be regarded as mutual trust between master and apprentice.
only……
Seeing that no one is double-teaming him, Nowitzki is not polite, and he is also very familiar with Wang Zhizhi.
First it was a fake test, and then Nowitzki shot directly.
In the mid-range position, he just pulled out his hand without the slightest hesitation.
Seeing this scene, head coach Wang Fei was a little confused.
No, as an inside player, if you have such a chance to play singles, shouldn't you play inside?
In fact, he also made arrangements for defending Nowitzki, that is, let Yao Ming help defend inside.
But who would have imagined that they would never go to the inside line at all.
The game continued, Huaxia team's offense, the ball still came to Wang Hao's hands, Wang Hao gave the ball to Yao Ming again.
This time, the German team responded, and Rodel was eager to double-team.
Yao Ming's reaction was also extremely quick, and he directly returned the ball to Wang Hao.
Rodel is worthy of being a 33-year-old veteran. He was ready to return to defense, and returned to the defensive position immediately.
Unfortunately, he obviously underestimated Wang Hao's speed.
Wang Hao didn't try to fake it, but directly chose to break through with the help of enough space in front of him.
Rodel was directly left behind by him. Seeing that he was about to enter the inside line, the inside line of the German team left the defense.
Almost instantly, Fleming and Nowitzki all shrank, trying to stop Wang Hao.
Fleming hastily got between Wang Hao and the basket.
What to do, in international basketball, there is no defense for three seconds, only offense for three seconds.
In other words, inside players can stay inside all the time and fully protect the inside.
So, why Durant is so good in the international arena, like Iverson and others, it seems that it is not very good.
To put it bluntly, in international competitions, being able to vote is the last word.
And breakthroughs, in more cases, can only disrupt the opponent's defense line, and there is very little chance to directly break through and make a layup.
Facing the tall and burly Fleming, Wang Hao was not in a hurry. He found the right time and threw the ball to the basket.
At the same time, Yao Ming, who is also in the paint, has jumped high.
The basketball appeared in an extremely comfortable position. Yao Ming didn't jump very high, but his height was here after all.
After catching the ball with both hands, he smashed the ball hard to the basket.
A wonderful alley-oop.
That's right, Yao Ming when he was young, and Yao Ming who hadn't gained weight completely, could play alley-oops.
Although his bounce is not enough and the time in the air is not enough, the problem is that he is tall enough!
"boom!"
The fans at the scene kept cheering.
That's right, although NBA fans don't pay much attention to international basketball, but this is also the scoring situation.
If there is a US team game, they are also willing to take a look.
In other words, if there is a game of other stars, if the ticket price is cheaper, they are willing to watch it.
And there are quite a few gimmicks in today's midfield game.
Wang Hao, as the double MVP of the new division, his name alone is enough to attract many fans.
Not to mention, the duel between the Asian and European giants, yes, it is about Yao Ming and Nowitzki.
Moreover, Yao Ming is still the No. [-] rookie pick this year, these are all gimmicks!
In the group stage, the ticket price is not expensive, and there are so many gimmicks, naturally there are many fans.
In addition to fans, there are also many media reporters and scouts.
"My God, such a big man is so flexible, he can even play alley-oop?"
The media reporters at the scene, as well as those scouts, were all shocked beyond measure.
However, the Huaxia team had no time to be happy, because the game was still going on.
Nowitzki broke through again to foul Wang Zhizhi and won two free throws.
Wang Zhizhi is also very helpless, he is not a player who is good at defense, but Nowitzki is very good at offense.
Nowitzki made two free throws, still 4:4.
The game was carried out in such a stalemate situation, and the scores of the two sides rose alternately.
At the end of the first quarter at 18:19, the Huaxia team was still 1 point behind.
And Nowitzki's performance of 11 points in a single quarter is really a bit of a big kill.
No way, he played too comfortably.
Wang Zhizhi and Gong Xiaobin took turns defending him. Doesn't this allow him to play singles as he pleases?
Neither Wang Zhizhi nor Gong Xiaobin are good defensive players. Both of them are more offensive than defensive.
Moreover, Wang Zhizhi's speed is too slow, and Gong Xiaobin's height is not enough, so it is difficult to interfere with Nowitzki.
Halftime ends, 43:42.
In the second quarter of the game, Nowitzki's hand feeling was not good, and no one in the German team could stand up.
The main reason is that the head coach Wang Fei has also thought it through, and he can no longer let Nowitzki play singles, and he decisively arranges double-team tactics.
Nowitzki was double-teamed, so naturally he could only pass the ball out and let his teammates take the shot.
It's a pity that today's other players in the German team are in mediocre condition and missed opportunities in a row.
To be honest, Nowitzki at this time is like Yao Ming a few years later, he has strength but his teammates are not strong.
The Huaxia team found a chance and overtook the score.
It's a pity that it's only 1 point ahead, which can only be said to be better than nothing.
At the beginning of the second half of the game, the players of the German team quickly regained their form. This way, the situation changed.
Nowitzki took the ball, Guo Shiqiang decisively double-teamed, the German naturally dared not be careless and quickly passed the ball.
After Dimirel received the ball, facing Hu Weidong who came up from the supplementary defense, he broke through directly and passed Hu Weidong.
Facing Yao Ming's inside line, Dimirel did not dare to challenge, but split the ball again.
Rohrer from outside made a three-pointer after receiving the ball.
Looking back, Wang Hao was double-teamed and gave the ball to Wang Zhizhi, who split the sides again.
Hu Weidong's condition today is mediocre, and he missed a three-pointer.
No way, the old Hu is indeed in a much worse state now, and he is no longer the Huaxia Jordan he used to be.
In addition to age, injuries are the biggest reason.
More than that, next, the German team hit two goals from the outside and scored 5 points.
It can be said that these three goals scored a total of 7 points, which immediately tied the Huaxia team's hands and feet.
No way, they dare not double-team Nowitzki again.
Returning to the 1-on-1 situation again, Nowitzki couldn't be too happy, and played more relaxed and freehand.
Even, at the end of the third quarter, he even let him hit a three-pointer at the buzzer.
62:68
For the first time, the German team expanded the point difference to 6 points, which is already the largest point difference in this game.
And the cause of all this is naturally because of Nowitzki.
In fact, in the third quarter, the Huaxia team's performance dropped further.
reason?
Physical problems!
If it weren't for the one-on-two contacted by Wang Hao, or even the one-on-three situation, the score would be scored.
It is estimated that now it is not just a difference of 6 points.
After returning to the national team, Wang Hao is purely another style of play, organizing offense and serving as the starting point of the team's offense.
The Huaxia team has no shortage of people who end the offense, mainly because no one initiates the offense and connects the team together.
As a result, in the third quarter, he had to go back to his old job, and also started singles.
Coupled with the performance of Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi, it can be regarded as stabilizing the point difference.
In fact, if it weren't for Nowitzki's 3-pointer at the buzzer, the 3-point difference would be nothing.
