I am so Accurate

Before the U.S. team started playing qualifying, the semi-finals of the World Championships had come to an end.

In addition to Argentina and China on the first day, Spain and Greece also advanced to the semi-finals on the second day.

The semi-final matchups: Argentina VS China, Spain VS Greece.

Although the early elimination of the American team made the game less interesting, the fans actually... didn't feel much.

Without him, it's simply because the American team has never made it to the World Series finals in the past few years.

Fans are used to the final stage without the Dream Team.

Instead, there is the 2002 World Championship bronze medal, 2004 Olympic champion, and the favorite to win this World Championship—the Chinese team!

Sun Hao, Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian, isn't this all-star lineup just as good?

And the other three teams that entered the semi-finals also showed their absolute strength in this world championship.

For Argentina, Ginobili was at his peak at the age of 29 and started the NBA five-man lineup;

In addition to Pau Gasol, Spain has a large number of young talents;

Coupled with the defeat of the United States in the group stage and last year's European Championship champion Greece;

These teams are also star-studded and attract attention.

On the day after the qualifying round, the match between the Chinese team and the Argentine team started first.

The two teams played against each other in the Olympic finals two years ago, and there were not many changes in the lineup. It can be regarded as a "you know my depth, and I know your strengths and weaknesses" type.

The game also fell into a stalemate after it started.

Many people's impressions of Argentina's "golden generation" in history are stuck in defeating the Dream Team in 2002 and winning the championship in Athens in 2004.

But in fact, in the 2006 World Championships, the Argentine team was still at its peak.

As for why they failed to delist in the end, there is a big reason.

The most important thing is the semi-final that is not very familiar to people.

The encounter between Argentina and Spain this year is the European and American plot...oh no, the strongest collision between the strongest European and American teams.

The result of this game was that Nocioni's last-minute three-pointer failed. Argentina lost to Spain 74-75 and missed the final.

It is no exaggeration to say that if Nocioni's three-pointer had been made, Argentina would have been the double world champion in the World Championships and the Olympics.

And that game had a very clear keyword: tragic.

After that game, Gasol suffered a fractured left toe. Not only did he miss the final of the World Championships, he also took a three-month break.

What, the Spanish team won the championship without Gasol?

That's right, Gasol didn't play in that game, and the Spanish team ended up winning by nearly 30 points.

In addition to the performance of the Greek team, that game also signaled the official rise of Spanish basketball.

Because they no longer rely solely on one player.

In addition to Gasol, Ginobili also suffered a wrist injury in that game.

This was also a very important reason why Argentina lost to the United States by a huge score. Ginobili didn't even score in double figures in that game.

Now, there is no injured Ginobili, the Argentinian who is determined to revenge against the Chinese team, and the situation that he must defeat the Chinese team if he wants to enter the finals.

And what Ginobili said in an interview before the game.

"The competition will definitely be very fierce. I think only when we fight until the last minute, we will know who will win in the end."

Ginobili said this when asked about his outlook for tonight's game.

These factors were mixed together, and the two teams were in a stalemate from the beginning and lasted throughout...the first half.

Every team has its own style. The Chinese team's style is a combination of internal and external, and high efficiency in positional warfare.

The Argentinian team's style is running and shooting, defensive counterattacks, and three-pointers.

To give a very vivid metaphor, the Chinese team is a lion with a large chassis and a large body, while the Argentina team is a fast and fierce jaguar that is good at attacking from a distance.

Essentially, a lion is stronger than a jaguar.

But the jaguar can still deal with the lion thanks to its flexible body.

Reflected in this game, although the Chinese team is in better shape and strength, the Argentine team relied on the accuracy of the outside three-pointer to stalemate the Chinese team.

But in the second half, the Argentina team suddenly misfired from the outside, and the Chinese team took the opportunity to open up the score.

Asked why the Argentine team suddenly failed to fire three points in the second half?

No one knows this.

The feel of this thing is probably to be attributed to... metaphysics.

After all, Ginobili's mouth has opened his mouth.

He said that the fight will be fierce until the last moment, so there is no need to fight until the last moment.

After the Chinese team established an advantage, it maintained this advantage until the end.

87 to 75.

The Chinese team won not too much, but in the single-tao competition, there is no difference between winning by 1 point, 10 points, or 100 points.

They successfully defeated Argentina and advanced to the World Championship finals!

They are only one step away from the goal they set before setting off!

The fans on the sidelines were very excited, but the mood of the Chinese team members on the field was average.

It's not that he was unhappy after winning the game, but because the confrontation was too fierce, Yao Ming injured his toe in the fourth quarter and left the game early.

On the Argentina team, Ginobili also finished the fourth quarter with an injured wrist.

The butterfly effect prevented Argentina from meeting Spain in the semi-finals again, but something still happened by accident.

This somewhat cast a shadow over the Chinese team's journey to win the championship.

Just when Sun Hao was worried after the game, he finally received good news.

Yao Ming's injury was much lighter than Gasol's in history.

Gasol will need surgery and three months of rest to recover.

But Yao Ming didn't hurt any bones. He can recover after a while, and he can even... play with injuries.

The match between Spain and Greece was held on the second day.

As the champions of the European Championships and having not lost a single match in the group stage, the Greek team is very strong.

Although the overall strength is slightly weaker than Spain, in theory there is definitely a chance of winning.

However, the Spanish team increased the intensity of the game from the beginning and dominated the Greek team from beginning to end.

Spanoulis, "European Kobe" and "European Nash", the absolute core of the Greek team, played very sluggishly in a higher-intensity game, scoring only 9 points in the game.

The Spanish team finally defeated the Greek team by 30 points 77-47 and advanced to the final.

Ever since, before the start of the World Championships, the two teams that advanced to the finals had quite hot topics.

Will Yao Ming be able to play in the finals due to injury, and the terrifying strength of the Spanish team.

It is against this background that most fans on the Internet prefer the Spanish team to win the championship.

"Whether Yao plays or not, it will be difficult for him to show his previous strength. The Spanish team only needs to solve Sun's defensive problem, and they have a great chance of winning. Judging from the previous games, Sun's average per game in this game He didn’t score much, maybe because of the consecutive games, he was not in his best condition.”

A paragraph in the European Sports Media article attracted responses from many fans.

If Yao Ming had not fought too hard in the game against Argentina and was injured, the Chinese team would definitely be more optimistic.

But now, things are different.

Before the World Championship final begins, the two teams are making final preparations for the final.

The training of the Chinese team is not open to the public.

When the Chinese team was training, Yao Ming was pedaling a large bicycle on the sidelines.

Injuries are inevitable in a basketball player's career.

A tough guy like Malone can't say he has perfect attendance in his career.

Especially in fiba's big competitions, unless everyone is very strong like the American team.

Otherwise, later in the game, the main players will have to play longer because of the game, and the possibility of injury will also increase exponentially.

In fact, if you do a little research on the World Series, you will find that it is not uncommon to miss games due to injuries.

I mentioned earlier that Spain's fight against Greece in history is a typical example.

So Yao Ming's injury was an accident, but it wasn't entirely an accident.

Rather than discussing the accident itself, the Chinese team is now more concerned about whether to let Yao Ming play in the final.

This time, the Basketball Association, the team leadership, including the coaching staff have relatively unified opinions.

They all hope Yao Ming... doesn't play.

That's right, don't.

The same group of people will make completely different decisions in different environments.

Now the Chinese men's basketball team is thriving, with a world championship and more world championships.

Like a full meal, and a full meal.

This choice is easy to make.

Of course, another very important factor here is that this is the World Championships, not the Olympics, and the gold content is different.

And two years later, the 2008 Olympics will be even more important because it is a competition at home.

Sun Hao also disagrees with Yao Ming playing.

In addition to the above reasons, what he considers more is Yao Ming's career.

Yao Ming himself chose not to gain weight in order to play longer.

In the end, if he went back because he was wounded in battle, he would have lost his wife and lost his army.

Moreover, in history, the Spanish team can beat the Greek team to win the championship in the absence of Gasol, and the Chinese team also has the opportunity to do the same.

Everyone was trying to persuade Yao Ming not to play, but Yao Ming insisted on playing.

"Dayao, I have to remind you of the risks involved. If you don't handle it well, it may affect your entire career."

Although he knew that Yao Ming was the man who "went to the player tunnel and came back again", Sun Hao was still trying to convince him.

"I know, so the final depends on you."

Yao Ming said with a smile.

"Whether I play or not has a great impact on our morale. Even if I play less, I can still contain them on the court."

Seeing that Sun Hao didn't speak, Yao Ming put away his smile and said seriously.

Sun Hao was stunned for a moment.

These words sounded vaguely familiar.

By the way, when he was injured in the finals and O'Neal persuaded him not to play, that's what he said!

This is really the reincarnation of heaven!

And by saying such words, Sun Hao knew that Yao Ming was determined to play.

If you can't stop Yao Ming from playing, you can only... sweat more.

His offensive desire was not strong in the previous games, and the team did not need him to score desperately.

But in the final, he needed to throw away his thermos cup!

…

On the night of the finals, everyone is watching.

China, versus Spain!

During the knockout rounds, Sun Hao watched the Spanish team's game from the sidelines as a spectator, and even came down to chat with many old friends.

But now, his old friends are standing opposite him, and they are his opponents tonight!

This game is very special to him!

Of course, this is by no means a bad thing.

Because most of them had played in the same league before, he was familiar with their technical characteristics and habits.

But if you want to say that you are sure of winning, you are not sure.

In history, Ginobili fought with injuries, and the Argentina team eventually lost to the United States.

And even if we lose this game, domestic fans can understand and accept it.

After all, previous games against the United States have proven that Yao Ming is the lifeblood of the Chinese team.

Moreover, the Spanish team's internal strength is the strongest in this World Championship.

Understanding and accepting is one thing, but when they saw Yao Ming taking off his training clothes and warming up before the game, all the fans felt their hair standing on end.

Yao Ming, I still want to play!

The Chinese fans in the stadium were shouting excitedly, and some even choked uncontrollably.

Even fans who are not Chinese are giving Yao Ming their admiring applause.

Fighting with injuries is an adventure and a passion!

In the handshake ceremony after the opening ceremony, Gasol also looked at Yao Ming with respect.

As an old rival in the NBA, he admires Yao Ming's decision!

The game started immediately, and the starting lineup of the two teams came on stage one after another.

Chinese team: Sun Hao, Wang Shipeng, Zhu Fangyu, Yi Jianlian, Yao Ming;

Spanish team: Calderon, Navarro, Carlos Jimenez, Garbajosa, Gasol;

"Team China! Come on!"

Before going on the court, Sun Hao called the players together.

A slogan is shouted, and the blood is already boiling!

"beep!"

The whistle blew and the World Championship finals officially started.

The Chinese team's jump ball player was changed from Yao Ming to Yi Jianlian.

Yi Jianlian took a deep breath, jumped up high, and pushed the ball back to half court over Gasol's head.

Chinese team, attack first!

Sun Hao advanced to the frontcourt with the ball, and the Spanish team set up a 3-2 zone defense. The entire defensive focus was on the outside, or on Sun Hao.

This is also completely expected.

Yao Ming is injured, and the Chinese team's offense will most likely be launched from the outside.

However, the ball was sent to Yao Ming by Sun Hao at the first opportunity.

Yao Ming provided support at the free throw line.

At this time, we have to mention the difference between Yao Ming in reality and Yao Ming in history.

In history, due to Yao Ming's weight gain, his playing style was more like a traditional center, with a large proportion of low-post attacks.

But in reality, his offense is more diverse without gaining weight, especially under Carlisle last season, his offense was launched more from the free throw line.

Because that way you can either attack on your own or choose to provide support.

Now he is injured and cannot attack more, but he can still provide support.

Yi Jianlian showed his sense of smell and condition, and after walking out, he quickly cut back to the basket.

Yao Ming hit the ground from behind without looking at anyone.

The scene was filled with exclamations of exclamation.

Yi Jianlian received the ball and did not waste the pass. After receiving the ball, he took a step into the air.

"Bang!"

A powerful two-handed slam dunk!

The Chinese team takes the lead!

After dunking, Yi Jianlian swung on the rim for a while before landing. After landing, he roared excitedly.

The Chinese team's mental state at the start was very exciting!

Spain also responded to Gasol's free throw line, but Navarro's throw was interfered by Yi Jianlian and failed to hit.

Yi Jianlian turned around and grabbed the defensive rebound.

When the Chinese team attacked the frontcourt, it was still Yao Ming's support.

Garbajosa followed Yi Jianlian this time, but Yao Ming passed the ball to Zhu Fangyu on the other side.

Zhu Fangyu didn't hesitate at all after receiving the ball and shot a three-pointer from the corner.

"Uh-huh!"

Just vote and you’ll get it!

The Chinese team opened the game and scored 5 points in a row!

On the sidelines, Spanish head coach Hernandez was a little confused.

The Chinese team doesn't play according to the routine!

What about shifting the offensive focus to Sun Hao?

The two teams each missed an attack. Gasol caught the ball in the paint and hit it from behind, but his turning hook still hit the frame despite Yao Ming's interference!

I don’t know whether it’s because Yao Ming was injured and underestimated the opponent, or because he was slacking off after winning against Greece in the last game, but the Spanish team played a bit poorly in the opening game!

In contrast, the Chinese team was inspired by Yao Ming and was in a completely different state.

Wang Shipeng came out of the screen, received Sun Hao's pass, and faced Garbajosa for a three-pointer.

"Uh-huh!"

Ray Allen is possessed!

Wang Shipeng’s three points are also there!

That game against Puerto Rico completely knocked out his confidence!

Garbajosa's jump shot from the free throw line finally helped the Spanish team break their scoring drought.

But looking back, Yi Jianlian made another cut and scored 2+1 on Garbajosa!

That's not all.

When Yi Jianlian hit the extra free throw, the Spanish team made a mistake in the middle of the game, and the backcourt serve was directly interrupted by Sun Hao.

Sun Hao was not polite and jumped into the air with one step.

Look, the plane!

"Bang!"

Sun Hao smashed the ball into the basket with one hand.

The entire arena exploded.

13 to 2!

This beginning is like a climax without foreplay, it's fierce and exciting!

The key is that it was the Chinese team that made this dream start!

The undervalued Chinese team!

"Please tell me what happened on the field? How did the Chinese team do it? What are the Spaniards doing?!"

In the commentary box, the commentator asked three questions in succession, obviously looking confused.

"Hey! We call this a slap in the face! No matter what, I'm sorry to see you, but I'll give you a slap first!"

On the other hand, in the broadcast booth, Zhang Weiping was already smiling happily.

At this start, his old man's little heart was already beating wildly.
