I am so Accurate

Li Yuanwei's confidence stems not only from fiba's rating, but also from the performance of the Chinese team in a series of previous warm-up matches.

This time the World Championships was held in Japan. Due to the small and few basketball venues in Japan, many warm-up matches were held in China.

Therefore, most of the Chinese team's warm-up opponents this time are the official national teams of this World Championships.

As an Olympic champion, as long as you are in a different group, other teams are eager to play against you!

Just like in history, playing against the American Dream Team is like an honor!

Then, after a series of warm-up matches, the Chinese team failed without a single defeat! !

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

While this made the fans enthusiastic, it also gave Li Yuanwei full confidence.

Treat the World Championships as the Asian Championships!

This is a bit complacent and a bit toxic, but I still have the capital!

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

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

"Chinese Dream Team!"

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

"Hey, I heard that the NBA has begun to pay attention to Sun Yue. Our basketball talents are now coming one after another!"

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

"It's not just 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 a draft!"

"The good thing is that as long as the base becomes larger, good prospects can be selected in the draft. This is a truly virtuous cycle!"

"Okay, don't go too far, let's talk about this World Championships!"

"This is nothing to talk about anymore, China is the champion!"

"Brother, you are swollen!"

"Where's the swelling?"

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

…

The grouping of the World Championships has been determined a long time ago. 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. A total of 24 teams participated, divided into four groups, with 6 teams in each group.

Then the 6 teams will cycle within the group, and the top four in the group will advance to the top 16, and then follow-up single-game elimination matches in the order of A1 vs. B4 until the final championship is determined.

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

Qatar and Turkey in Group D are relatively unlucky. Not to mention they are grouped 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 Japan team is relatively comfortable. Slovenia and Puerto Rico, the same team, failed to qualify in the losing round and participated as wild cards.

What is a wild card?

The official spends money to sell the quota, and the one with the highest price gets it, which is the wild card.

Some people may ask why Japan is so lucky?

Of course good luck is 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 that the World Championships should be treated as the Asian Championships, okay, now they are directly placed in the same group as Japan!

This is the real lucky.boy!

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

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

The Chinese team's current strength has reached this point, and it's more about mentality. He doesn't 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 the characteristics of an island country... are not something to buy now.

They went to eat Kobe steak.

This kind of steak can only be eaten in the most authentic form here. The two of them felt that it tasted really good.

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

This is a story that many people know.

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

The English name of that steak is "Kobe.beef", which is also the famous Kobe steak.

So they agreed that the child would be called Kobe after he was born.

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

In the past, O'Neal 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 the team's defeat last year was a huge blow to him.

You must know that black eight is much rarer than a championship or something.

"He is like a child who has not grown up. He always likes to do things his own way and doesn't really consider the feelings of the people around him."

For the first time, Sun Hao heard complaints about Kobe Bryant from Nowitzki's mouth.

But this is already rare. If couples don't get along well, there will be a lot of conflicts after getting along for a long time, let alone teammates.

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

Sun Hao did not agree. Kobe's personality change needs a time, 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 Nelson is still the coach, the Mavericks have a high probability of guaranteeing a spot in the Western Conference semifinals.

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

"Mark has a lot of trust in Avery."

Nowitzki shook his head, then sighed.

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

My teammates can’t change, and my coach can’t change either. This is hell.

No, not necessarily.

"You didn't try to talk to Mark?"

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

If Nowitzki opens his mouth, nothing is off the table.

"No, I wouldn't do that."

Nowitzki's answer was straightforward.

Sun Hao was stunned for a moment, then smiled helplessly.

This really doesn't seem like something Nowitzki would do.

In history, you have heard a lot of news about Cuban doting on Nowitzki, but you have never heard about what Nowitzki asked Cuban to do.

If James is one extreme, then Nowitzki is another extreme.

"Dirk, I have a feeling that if nothing changes, the Mavericks may be in big turmoil next season."

Sun Hao said.

If it were anyone else, he wouldn't have said that, because it would sound a bit clumsy.

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

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

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

Some people will say that the Clippers have no trading 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 bringing in a third party.

For example, if you pull the Heat, Brand will be sent to the Heat, which is short of inside players, Odom will go to the Clippers, and the Heat's first-round pick, Gallivingston, will go to the Mavericks for Kobe Bryant. Has it taken shape?

"That's not something I can change. I'm just responsible for playing basketball."

Nowitzki's words sounded very depressed.

Sure enough, people will change with the environment. When the Mavericks were still Mavericks, he and Nowitzki were so happy when they fought side by side.

…

The opening game of the World Championship is Argentina versus France.

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

With the global promotion of the NBA, Argentina, Brazil, Spain, France, and now China, have all given birth to their respective golden generations.

Argentina and France are two teams with completely different styles, but the same thing is that there are many NBA players in the team.

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

If you don't take into account the jerseys they are wearing, this is an NBA battle.

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

After all, they have Fiba's killer Ginobili.

Parker can do well in the NBA, but in FIBA ​​games, he is just a younger brother to Ginobili.

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

But no one on the Argentinian team seemed happy after the game.

fiba doesn't think low of them, but their ambitions obviously don't stop there.

The championship is the only goal of this team now.

Lost to Yugoslavia in the World Championships and finished second;

Even though they lost to China in the Olympics, they still finished second!

They are at their peak, but this peak will not last long. Their inner desire for the championship is visible to the naked eye!

During prime time in the evening, the arena was packed.

The match between China and Japan starts soon!

More than half of the people sitting at the scene were Japanese fans, and nearly half of the remaining people were Chinese fans!

Across the sea, even though Japanese fans organized a rush to buy tickets before the game, Chinese fans still grabbed so many tickets!

Witnessing this kind of game live is a hundred times better than watching it on TV.

When the Chinese team entered the stadium, the Chinese fans at the scene could not help but cheer excitedly.

It's as if this is their home court!

But these are Chinese fans!

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

Look at those guys 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! NBA champion member!

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

Yao Ming, the No. 1 center in the NBA!

Sun Hao, the number one active player in the NBA!

This, just this, anyone else would be in trouble!

And during the warm-up before the game, a very interesting thing happened on the court.

Under Sun Hao's instigation, Sun Yue performed several visually impactful dunks during the warm-up.

His jumping ability was also on display to a great extent.

This also satisfied many NBA scouts present.

Why are there NBA scouts on site?

Chinese players are now the biggest prize in the NBA, and many players are eager to find the next player to land in the NBA.

Because the experience of teams such as the Mavericks, Lakers, Wizards, and Warriors tells them that having Chinese players can get a large piece of the Chinese market.

Because Sun Yue often goes to the United States to train with Sun Hao, he will naturally have a lot of exposure. Now he is the next target of their focus.

Sun Hao knows that Sun Yue will not have much playing time as a newcomer to the national team, so this is to let him show off in advance.

From the effect point of view, it is very good.

Halfway through the warm-up, Zhang Weiping came down to interview the players.

Although he was older, he was still very insightful and went directly to interview Sun Yue.

"I won't call you Xiaosun, because we call Sun Hao Xiaosun, so let's call you Xiaosun."

After confirming the tone, it was Director Zhang himself.

Sun Yue smiled and nodded, with a shy expression.

Before he learned how to make a car vibrate, Sun Yue was still a sunny and shy boy.

"This is your first time playing an official game on behalf of the national team. How is it? Are you nervous?"

Zhang guided psychological suggestion.

"Well, I'm very nervous, but Brother Hao told me to show off the state of chasing a girl for the first time, and I feel much better."

Zhang Weiping was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then he couldn't help laughing.

What Sun Hao said was very spiritual!

Of course, what’s even more interesting is that Sun Yue actually said it without copying the original words!

These two families are very interesting.

But don't tell me, Sun Yue's external image is already very good, and with this answer, she suddenly has countless female fans.

"Well, tonight we face the Japanese men's basketball team, which is also our old rival. Do you think the team can beat them tonight?"

Zhang Weiping then asked.

When Sun Yue heard this question, his expression that was slightly shy before suddenly became excited.

"That's for sure, Xiaori..."

Sun Yue was only in his early 20s at the moment, at the peak of his energy, and the mantra almost came out of his mouth in a second.

It was Sun Hao Kuai who was behind him, and he patted his shoulder, interrupting his conversation and at the same time giving the camera a cute look.

Sun Yue was also very clever. He only remembered where the competition was after being interrupted.

It would be a big problem if this was blurted out, and he might even be in trouble after the game.

But he has a bright mind and reacts quickly.

"Japanese players who have lived a good life in their childhood are very good, but I believe in Brother Hao and others, we will win the game."

A near miss answer.

"You have to win 30 points anyway, right?"

However, Sun Hao's next words left Sun Yue speechless for a while.

It's better to let him blurt it out in front of him!

Sure enough, as soon as Sun Hao finished speaking, Japanese fans booed on the sidelines.

Zhang Weiping also wanted to remind people that this is Japan's home court, not in China.

But Sun Hao had a very indifferent expression.

Not swearing is a sign of quality, but do you need to be polite to Japan?
