Chapter 391 The Great Victory
At this time, the timeout is over, the game begins, and Litao Bowl attacks.
As the core and leader, Sabonis does his part. In order to restore morale, he will play the first ball after the timeout.
At the waist of the penalty area on the left wing, he began to ask for positions and balls.
In the case of not using the iron mountain, it is difficult for Pharaoh to challenge Sabonis. He should have a certain advantage in absolute strength, but there is no need to defend with all his strength in this position. The distance is three meters, far away from the basket.
Once the ball was in his hands, Sabonis swung it around again, trying to distract the defender.
"This guy should play one by himself. It's [-]-[-], and the Litao bowl hasn't scored yet." As the core of the team, Lao Wang made a prediction.
At this time, the core needs to stand up to open up the situation. If Sabonis does not come by himself, he cannot be regarded as a qualified core leader.
Therefore, his defensive focus is not on the opponent's pass, but on the opponent's shot, and he makes a targeted defense.
The opponent's movement speed is much slower than him, and it is difficult to rush in. The opponent should not think about breaking through, that is mainly to prevent his shots, such as the most difficult sideways hook to block.
In the next moment, Sabonis stood up suddenly and hit a 45-degree sideways hook for nearly two points. The shot was about four meters away from the basket.
Under the accurate prediction, Wang Tiejun reacted very quickly, quickly took off to block the block, and blocked a large space with a pair of big hands.
This kind of sideways hook is very difficult to block, especially the 221 cm high center forward, so he didn't think about blocking the opponent, but tried to block the forbidden space as much as possible, forcing the opponent to increase the shooting angle and destroy the opponent's shooting stability.
In the next moment, the ball passed through his fingers, and when it landed, there was a sound of smashing the basket behind his head. He immediately turned around, and the basketball bounced back and fell into his hands.
"Beautiful defense, Tiejun's single defense is getting better and better!" Zhang Li praised.
"Li Taowan strengthened the return defense, let's stabilize and play one." Sun Zhenping shouted.
"Be careful of the opponent's pressing!" Zhang Lili suddenly shouted.
On the field, Litao bowl was hit by the Chinese team for two consecutive defensive counterattacks, which was a bit messy. During the timeout just now, the coaching staff had arranged tactical arrangements to strengthen the defense and backcourt pressing.
"Send it back."
Pharaoh immediately rushed over to respond, and roared.
Li Xiaoyong barely passed a ground ball through the crowd and almost made a mistake.
Lao Wang picked up the ball from the floor, and his outstanding vision allowed him to catch the opportunity immediately. Seeing that his teammate Wu Qinglong had already rushed to the right wing of the frontcourt and was cutting towards the penalty area, he immediately threw both hands, and the ball flew past like a shooting star.
Wu Qinglong caught the ball with both hands outside the penalty area and did not dribble. He entered the penalty area with one step, jumped up after another step, hit the basket with one hand, and hit a goal.
"Beautiful! With a long pass over 20 meters, Wu Qinglong's fast-break cut was also very timely, playing the characteristics of our whirlwind attack." Zhang Lili roared very excitedly, even more excited than when he was explaining the NBA.
"Now it's 8:0, we are leading by eight points, and we still have zero seals in the powerful Litao bowl." Sun Zhenping shouted equally excitedly.
"The more fierce the flanking attack, the faster the return to defense!" Li Taowan's head coach was so anxious that he roared sharply on the sidelines.
"Sir, I suggest double-teaming the old K in advance in the positional battle. Sabonis is old, and he can't guard the old K alone." Litaowan's assistant coach Yunus reminded.
"Okay." The head coach immediately agreed.
Next, Litaowan finally opened fire. Shooting guard No. 9 made a false shot and made a real shot. After catching Wu Qinglong, he stopped for a jumper and hit a two-pointer from far.
Coming to the frontcourt, Wang Tiejun settled in the low position on the left wing.
At this time, Li Taowan adopted a defensive strategy of double-teaming in advance, emptied Hu Weidong, who was playing the third position, and the small forward came down to the low post.
Do you need to think about it? Li Xiaoyong immediately passed the ball to Hu Weidong, who replaced Li Nan. The latter received the ball from outside the three-point line on the left wing, staring at a pair of highly myopic eyes.
"Beautiful! There is absolutely no preparatory work for Litao Bowl, and they actually let Hu Weidong go?" Zhang Lili said in surprise.
"The five of us on the court are not weak. They are all of the golden generation. None of them can be short-sighted. Except for Tie Jun, including Da Zhi, all four of them can shoot three-pointers." Sun Zhenping said excitedly.
Zhang Lili nodded and said: "Yes, Hu Weidong's three-point shooting rate is as high as 45%, Li Xiaoyong's three-point shooting rate is as high as 43.5%, and Wu Qinglong's three-point shooting rate is as high as 41.8%. If they dare to continue to double-team Tiejun in advance today, they will pay a heavy price."
Sun Zhenping nodded and said with a smile: "Space, this is the benefit of having a super center in the low post. Our perimeter has never had such open treatment before. Now the opportunity is here. Grab it and kill them with three-pointers."
Next, Li Taowan continued to double-team Pharaoh, and then the three outsiders of the Chinese team kept getting open and shot with all their strength. They made 5 of 3 three-pointers and blasted the opponent. They led the opponent by a big score and forced the opponent to call a timeout.
The atmosphere on the Litaowan bench was very tense and dull, like an iron plate.
Before the game, no one of them expected such a situation. With their strength, they only thought that they would crush the Chinese team, but now the situation is just the opposite.
The media in their country did not provide them with information about Wang Tiejun, which made them not know much about Lao Wang.
It's not that they don't understand at all, they know that Wang Tiejun played in the NBA, and he played well, and won the championship and MVP.
However, the Litao Bowl is too strong. They defeated the US team in 88, which made them not think highly of the US team.
In fact, the rules are different. They think that they are the strongest in the international arena, so they don't think highly of Wang Tiejun.
Oh, this situation is the same as the NBA looking down on European players.
Moreover, the strength of the Chinese team is too weak, and they are even more lazy to study this opponent.
It is the strong self-confidence brought about by this powerful strength that made them ignore the research on their opponents, and now they are a little caught off guard.
Now the Litao Bowl has no way to deal with the open three-pointer of the Chinese team from the outside. It can only cancel the defensive strategy of double-teaming in advance and play a two-one-two defense. Under the premise of letting Sabonis defend the old king alone, the small forward who sits at the free throw line strengthens the low-post defense.
As a result, Wang Tiejun immediately stepped up his personal attack.
Sabonis is indeed strong, but after all, he is over 30 and has too many injuries. He can't defend against Lao Wang's strong attack at all.
In the 9th minute of the first quarter, during a strong attack, he was knocked over again by Lao Wang's continuous back arch. The back injury caused him to end up injured. Li Taowan lost his core leader and pillar, was completely defeated, and his morale fell to the lowest point.
And in this game, at this moment, one quarter was not over, and the five main players lost three of them, and the suspense was completely lost.
The game has only played the first quarter, and the whole world has already been shocked.
What is the strength of the pottery bowl?The world's basketball world recognizes the strength of the top three in the world, at least the top five, but it is so difficult to play against the weak Chinese team?
In this section of the competition, Wang Tiejun's name was widely spread all over the world, and his world-class popularity exploded.
In the past, he was called a world-class sports superstar, but he was not famous in North America and East Asia. Now, through the strong influence of the Olympic Games, he has really gone to the whole world.
In the end, 95:65, the Chinese team won by 30 points.
After the game, Sun Zhenping said excitedly: "Comparing the strengths of the two teams is almost impossible, but it happened. This battle can be called a miracle."
Zhang Lili said excitedly: "The Litao Bowl is indeed strong, but the Chinese team with Wang Tiejun is definitely not a weak team. His joining has created a very great chemical effect, and the bonus is so large that it completely exceeds the effect of 1+1=2."
孙真平拿过手中整理好的数据念道：“铁军全场32分钟，15投11中，命中率73.3%，13罚10中，今天手感真好，罚球命中率达到了76.9%，拿到了32分11篮板7助攻2抢断3盖帽的数据。”
"Top offensive and defensive all-round performance." Zhang Lili praised.
"By the way, Director Zhang, last time the NBA introduced the K-Law, what impact do you think this law will have on the Iron Army?" Sun Zhenping asked.
Zhang Lili has been thinking about this issue, and said after hearing this: "I have been with him recently, and I am in charge of the summer camp. He has improved his skills, and there are no technical moves that are prone to fouls. His strength will definitely decline, but I don't think the impact will be fatal, and it will definitely not cause a cliff-like decline.
It's just that in the low-post attack, his previous huge lethality is gone, it is not easy to break the opponent's bones, and the deterrent effect will be reduced. "
Speaking of this, he thought for a while and added: "But it's not right for you to say that there is no impact, because without that huge deterrent and lethality, the opponent can double-team him unscrupulously, which will definitely reduce his efficiency.
Also, his ability to break double-teams used to be very strong. Several people double-teamed him and he was forcibly knocked away by his serial strikes. That's how he got his name as a restricted area sweeper.
You still remember the finals in 95, when the Bulls played so hard that no one dared to guard against him. Now that the K-law is introduced, this deterrent effect is almost gone.
Anyway, his strength must have declined to a certain extent, but we still have to look at the actual game situation to analyze the extent of the decline.
But no matter what, he is ready for the K-law and ready to fight. I think his performance next season is still worth looking forward to. "
After the last group match, the Chinese team had three wins and two losses, and they were firmly qualified.
Of the four teams in Group A, the U.S. team won all, and the other three teams that made it out of the group stage were China*, Croatia, and Litao Bowl.
China* lost to the United States and Croatia, Croatia lost to the United States and Litao Bowl, and Litao Bowl lost to the United States and China*, all three wins and two losses, so the ranking depends on the comparison of the three countries' mutual winning percentages and mutual points.
The winning percentages of the three countries are the same, so what determines the ranking is the scoring rate.
The score ratio is the total score divided by the total loss. After calculation, the Chinese team benefited from a big victory over the Litao Bowl, so they finally ranked second among the three countries, behind Croatia and surpassed the Litao Bowl.
So the final ranking of Group A is the United States, Croatia, China, and Litao Bowl.
The ranking in Group B is Yugoslavia, Australia, Greece and Brazil.
According to the principle of knockout matches, A1: B4, A2: B3, A3: B2, A4: B1, the first knockout opponent of the Chinese team is Australia.
And then, it enters the knockout stage, where the winner is determined by one match, the winner moves on, and the loser competes with other losers for the next place.
As the men's basketball team beat the Litao Bowl by a big score, there was not much reaction from the United States. Most Americans didn't even know where the Litao Bowl was, but there was a wave of public opinion in Europe.
On the major European media, Wang Tiejun's name appeared frequently. With the popularity of the Olympic Games, the attention was very high.
After the game, Director Yuan did what he said, found a Chinese restaurant and ordered a batch of dumplings, which was regarded as a reward for the men's basketball team.
"Congratulations, you guys, you actually won the Litao Bowl."
When the men's basketball team returned to the Olympic Village, they ran into the diving team that had just finished the competition. Fu Minxia, the leader, said with a smile.
"You also know?" Old Wang said with some complacency.
"The pottery bowls are very strong, you can beat them by a big margin, which event the delegation doesn't know?" Guo Jingjing laughed.
Lao Wang became happy, and was about to brag a few words in front of a group of young beauties, when he suddenly saw a gold medal on the chest of the big beauty, the gold was shining a little bit piercingly, he couldn't help being stunned, pointing to the sign and asking: "What is this?"
"You don't even know the gold medal? Sister Minxia just won the women's platform championship." Guo Jingjing said proudly with a look of contempt.
Lao Wang is speechless, big beauty, you are so uncute, you are all gold medalists, congratulations for winning a group match, you want to embarrass us, right?
"It's boring, let's go, we won't play with them anymore."
Frustrated, he waved his hand in a bit of frustration, beckoning them to follow.
"whee……"
A bunch of people from the diving team laughed.
"Brothers, let's not be underestimated by these girls. This time, we have to win a medal. The gold medal is a bit too much. The bastards of the Dream Team [-] are really strong. Let's work hard for the next two medals, and maybe we can succeed." Lao Wang yelled as he walked.
As soon as Liu Yumin heard this, her heart ached. Didn't this put more pressure on herself? She quickly said, "Tie Jun, don't rush to talk about the results, take it step by step, and walk steadily."
The coaching staff also nodded, taking the sign?The goal is too high to be realistic.
Now that he has entered the top eight, it is the most suitable goal to go one step further and strive to win the first knockout match, keeping six and competing for five.
In the evening, Director Yuan had a private treat and ate a meal of beef dumplings. It was a celebration for the men's basketball team. While eating, we held a meeting, mainly to talk about the situation of the knockout round.
The first knockout match is the quarter-finals. If you lose, you will have a cross match between 1 and 4 to determine the final ranking. If you win, you will enter the quarter-finals, which is the semi-finals.
Australia's strength is also very strong, and there was no certainty at first, but now that they have won the Litao Bowl, whether it is the men's basketball team itself, the basketball department, or the Olympic Committee of the delegation, the spirit and self-confidence have come up gradually.
Director Yuan was a little excited, stood up with a bowl of dumplings, waved his chopsticks and said to everyone: "Comrades, we want to win Australia, reach the semi-finals, and make great strides forward."
"Director Yuan, there is a lot of pressure, and the opponent is very strong." Wang Tiejun raised his head from the bowl and said.
When it's time to be steady, you have to charge forward, and when it's time to charge, you're under pressure. Director Yuan stared angrily, and said angrily, "Wang Tiejun, you're fighting against me, aren't you?"
"Where is it?" Old Wang muttered.
Liu Yumin winked anxiously at the side, and said anxiously: "Tie Jun, eat your dumplings, you have eaten three bowls at most, and you haven't finished two bowls, if you don't eat any more, there will be no more."
He chewed so slowly that he raised his head from the bowl, with a dazed expression on his face, and shouted: "Mother Liu, I only have one bowl, when did I have three bowls? Brother Tiejun is the third bowl, not the second bowl. I'm staring at him, I can't be wrong."
"Eat your own, why are you staring at me?" Old Wang said angrily.
"I'm full." Liu Yumin also said angrily.
"Pfft!"
Hu Weidong couldn't hold back, he burst out laughing, and dumpling foam sprayed all over the table.
