229 The strongest in the world!
On the evening of September 13, the Real Madrid Basketball Stadium was once again occupied by Chinese fans.
If we win against Australia again, we will meet the United States in the finals and have the opportunity to defeat them!
In the eyes of Chinese fans who are already floating in the air, creating history and advancing to the semi-finals is nothing. The championship is the goal that the Chinese men's basketball team should strive for in their hearts.
Because the competition for third place and the finals in the next two days will be held in Madrid, men's basketball players from the United States and Serbia specially flew here to watch the game.
During the warm-up shooting before the game, close-up shots were taken of the American men's basketball team and Serbian men's basketball players.
The Serbian players are very serious and they obviously come here to understand the characteristics of their opponents.
The American team seemed very relaxed, as if the championship was already within their grasp.
Ke Fan knew that there were many fans of the American team, so he did not dare to directly criticize him, but said with a smile:
"The US team players are acting like this. I wonder if they will cry if they lose in the final."
The performance of the American players on the sidelines was that they did not pay much attention to the game on the court.
Irving was alone admiring himself, looking arrogant like he was the boss of the world. Curry and Clay were talking and laughing. Davis and Harden pointed in the direction of Zhou Si on the court and seemed to be discussing.
What.
Everyone else looked indifferent. Only Rose and Zeller were carefully observing the status of the two teams on the field.
Having beaten their opponents by an average of 27.8 points per game, they seem to have every reason to despise any opponent.
Amid the cheers of the fans, the starting lineups of the two teams were shown on the big screen.
Australia: Dellavedova, Mills, Ingalls, Baynes and Bogut.
Chinese team: Guo Ailun, Ye Ze, Zhou Si, Yi Jianlian and Zhou Qi.
On the court, under the expectant eyes of hundreds of millions of Chinese fans, Zhou Qi easily defeated Australian No. 1 pick Bogut with a jump ball, giving the Chinese team the opportunity to make the first attack.
Although the Warriors' big-mouthed first-year center has lost weight, his jumping ability is still a little lacking compared to the young and limitless Zhou Qi.
Australia still chose to use Ingles to defend Zhou Si just like in the group stage.
Although this guy has not yet joined the NBA, in Zhou Si's memory, he joined the Jazz in the future and broke the Jazz's three-point shooting record in team history. He is an excellent 3D player.
If the team didn't already have enough 3D players, Zhou Si would really want to recruit him into the team.
On the first attack of the Chinese team, Guo Ailun naturally handed the basketball into Zhou Si's hands.
Zone defense?
After observing Australia's defense for a while, Zhou Si made his own judgment!
Boom, boom, boom!
After dribbling for a while, Zhou Si saw that Australia had no intention of double-teaming and took the first quick step to break through from the right.
Or not helping to defend?
Zhou Si distanced himself from Ingles behind him and then shot beautifully from mid-range.
“Clang——!”
The basketball hit the basket, and Bogut used Zhou Qi to protect the rebound.
"Oh, what a pity. The opportunity came up completely, and the posture was perfect."
Director Zhang and many fans in front of the TV let out the same sigh.
How could such a beautiful shot not go in?
On the sidelines, Curry clapped happily. It’s not easy to watch Zhou Si hit the iron!
Clay also applauded, and their teammate Bogut grabbed a rebound!
Ross and Zeller frowned. They didn't score such a steady goal. They felt bad today!
Australian head coach Ray Mannis's eyes lit up. If Zhou feels good today, the game will be difficult to play, but if Zhou can't start, then they have a great chance of winning today!
Australia attacks, Dellavedova assists Mills and hits a three-pointer!
Although he is only a substitute guard for the Spurs, Mills has a strong offensive ability and is fully capable of starting for a weak team. In the last game against Spain, he hit 7 three-pointers and scored 27 points. His touch was very hot.
3:0!
Australia leads by 3 points!
The Chinese team attacked and the basketball was still in Zhou Si's hands.
Australia's two big men, Baynes and Bogut, are both strong defenders.
When Baynes played in Europe, he was known as the strongest center in Europe and his playing style was very tough.
Not to mention Bogut, although he is a big talker, he is naturally talented to become the seventh foreign No. 1 pick in NBA history.
After losing weight, his mobility has improved a lot without losing much top defense ability, and his top defense and assist defense capabilities are very strong.
Letting Yi Di fight them alone is not a good choice.
Persimmons should still be soft when pinched!
Australia's outsider Mills' defensive style is also very tough, and Dellavedova is even more famous as a "mad dog"!
Therefore, after discussing this game with Director Gong, Zhou Si still felt that he had to start with himself first.
"Whoosh——!"
Zhou Si stopped testing and resolutely continued to break through Ingles who was very advanced.
Even though Ingles was passed by one step, he was not discouraged and turned back to chase Zhou Si!
Wow~
Zhou Si continued to attack with cool dry pulls!
Counting the pull-ups after being double-teamed, Zhou Si's pull-up hit rate is also a terrifying 57%. If only counting open pull-ups, his hit rate is an astonishing 68%!
This has become one of Zhou Si's most lethal weapons.
The inside line is tightly blocked by Baynes and Bogut, so the mid-range is the most reasonable choice.
“Clang——!”
It's a pity that today's basket was very unfriendly to Zhou Si, and the basketball hit the basket again!
Bogut protected the rebound again.
"Oops...I missed such a good opportunity again!"
Director Zhang sighed!
The Chinese fans at the scene also sighed. What happened?
Could it be that even Zhou was nervous? It’s just that the posture was not deformed at all, and it was still so picturesque!
Is Lady Luck on their side today?
On the sidelines, Curry continued to applaud. He would rather play the Australian team than the Chinese team!
So far in this World Cup, apart from the US team, the Chinese team has not lost yet. In Curry's view, Zhou Si's uncertainty is too scary.
Moreover, in the previous few games, he also scored 1-for-8 and 1-for-6. I can’t do it alone!
Other members of the US team also applauded. Is this the strongest team in the eyes of ESPN?
It's not that bad either.
Ross and Zeller frowned even more, Zhou felt really bad at hand today!
The Australian team attacked, Baynes overturned Zhou Qi and then dunked with both hands and scored!
Zhou Qi was as thin as a piece of paper in front of the 118-kg Baynes.
5:0!
The Australian team continued to expand the score.
Although Baynes is not good at scoring, it is still very easy to bully Zhou Qi.
The faces of the Chinese audience are even uglier. Is this the end of the year?
When the Chinese team attacks, Zhou Si still plays singles, and Australia still does not double-team.
Looking at Ingles who was one step away from the main defense and breaking through, Zhou Si stepped back and shot a three-pointer directly!
Feeling bad, missing both shots?
Not entering?
Just vote again!
I'm the best pitcher in the world!
Chapter completed!
