Chapter 211 Carry it all out, who else?
After the Chinese team lost to Spain, Qian Chenghai gave the team an ideological lesson overnight.
The problems exposed in this game are obvious——
Do you really think the protagonist is that easy to play?
Then there must be a plug-in!
Do you really think it’s so easy to get the limelight?
Then there must be a plug-in!
If everyone is not in the right position, everyone wants to be in the limelight, everyone wants to be the protagonist, and does not know how to sacrifice each other, then even if the team is full of All-Stars, it will still be difficult to succeed in the end.
This is a truth that has been repeatedly verified in almost all competitive events. Anyone who doubts it will be the next laughing stock!
Ruda feels that this defeat will help everyone adjust their mentality in time. As the Chinese team performs better and better, various opponents will definitely start to target them. That will be the real test for this team.
Three days later, in the quarter-finals, the Chinese team encountered the Soviet team, which had the most luxurious inside line-up of this World Championships and had a 2.20-meter giant center.
This was also an interesting contest. The Soviet Union won all the matches in the group stage and advanced, almost beating Brazil and Italy in the same group.
Their high center forward Tkachenko is 2.20 meters tall, but he does not move as slowly as Mu Tiezhu. This guy has certain running and jumping abilities. The disadvantage is that he is too thin and his confrontation ability is not good enough, but he can rely on his height advantage to win the game.
The international arena of this era has given opponents a fear of heights.
The Soviets also believed that Tkachenko was a weapon against the Chinese team. He could use his height to destroy the much-hyped Ruda.
But is that really the case?
Putting aside the comments from the outside world, the Chinese players felt that they were really in trouble.
This made Ruda feel a little pained. These guys were overconfident in the last game, and they were a little overly cowardly in this game.
The reason is easy to understand. The word Soviet Union itself has great deterrence in this era. Even after its disintegration, the remaining power alone will make Mao still surpass China in the minds of many people in 2020.
The strength of this Soviet team cannot be underestimated. In addition to a 2.20-meter-tall center, there are also two 2.10-meter-tall insiders. They are also very strong on the outside. No matter how you look at it, they are the top seeds for the championship. The American team encountered
It's probably the kind of food that needs to be stopped.
But this lack of confidence quickly dissipated. The Soviets obviously did not attach as much importance to the Chinese team as Spain did. They believed that with the team's absolute advantage on paper, they could completely suppress the Chinese team.
However, when Ruda used two violent dunks at the beginning to knock Tkachenko into two fouls, and even knocked him away on the spot with a head-on dunk, the two teams instantly reversed their momentum!
Ruda's style of play today was very brutal. After Tkachenko was beaten, he still kept hitting the basket with the ball. He single-handedly defeated two Soviet insiders who were 2.10 meters tall and a 2.20 meter tall one.
Bits and pieces.
This result was not only unexpected by the Soviets, but Chinese players also improved Ruda's "invincibility" by a large margin.
This was also a rare game in which Ruda constantly used face-to-face attacks. As a result, the whole world had a new interpretation of the word "center".
But he was not only as unstoppable as the God of War on the offensive end, but also performed like Optimus Prime on the defensive end, which also made the tall Soviet insiders extremely embarrassed.
In the first half, Tkachenko only scored 2 points and 2 rebounds under the basket, but he had 3 fouls and 3 turnovers. He basically didn’t play much time. Ruda dunked him that time.
My self-confidence was completely destroyed.
Now even including the other two big men, these three people only had 8 points, 12 rebounds and 2 blocks in the first half.
Ruda, however, had a terrifying performance of 24 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists and 5 blocks by himself. Especially when defending one-on-one, the three tall insiders of the Soviet team could not squeeze Ruda out of the way. His forced shots were either blocked or blocked.
There is no crosshair to speak of.
In the second half, the Soviets had to set up an iron barrel formation under the basket, otherwise they would really be unable to restrain the guy who was even scarier than the rumors said.
Ruda naturally did not rush in without thinking at this time. He began to transform into an outside turret. He frequently hit shots from 15 feet away and 20 feet away. He even ran to the NBA three-point line twice to throw the ball in, attracting the attention of the scene.
The audience cheered loudly for his wonderful performance all the time.
His current ability value is 93. This is not only due to his physical quality, which cannot be said to be a once-in-30-50-year experience, but also because there are no three-pointers in international basketball competitions.
He has been practicing in the dream training for so long, and of course he has also mastered the three-point shot.
If he switches to an NBA with a "three-point shot", his ability value will immediately exceed 95. This skill is enough to make him more difficult to guard against than those beasts that only meet once in thirty-five years.
But even without three-pointers, his precise shooting from 20 feet away can still make the Soviet Union extremely tangled inside.
If defended at this time, he can directly rush in with the ball to complete the score.
But if you don't guard against it, this bastard's long-distance shooting is too accurate!
The Soviets didn't figure out how to deal with this problem until the end of the game. Ruda's style of play was theoretically unsolvable.
The final score was 108:96. Although the Soviet Union's internal strength was the best in the world, its external strength also surpassed that of the Chinese team.
But when they faced Ruda who had no solution, this completely ruined the situation!
Ruda played 36 minutes today, which means he only rested for 4 minutes, but there was no sign of any physical problems with him. He scored 55 points, 22 rebounds, 3 assists and 7 blocks in the game.
This game can be said completely: he defeated the Soviet Union by himself.
"He is not only the best basketball player in the history of the Chinese team, but also the best player in the world."
The head coach of the Soviet team made a complimentary comment after the game, but judging from the miserable situation of the Soviet team tonight, he may have really spoken his mind.
"You really don't want to go to the NBA? There are the best teams and stars in the world there!"
Naturally, there will be no shortage of reporters from the United States to talk about the same old stuff at this time, although there are indeed many NBA teams that want Ruda to participate in the draft.
"If NBA teams and players are really that good, I will wait for them to challenge me in the Olympics and Club World Cup!"
Ruda will not go to the NBA easily. Beating the NBA is what he wants to do.
But this arrogant answer naturally aroused strong dissatisfaction among people in the American industry.
What he said was as if the NBA needed to lower its head and challenge him. No matter how good you are, this attitude is too high, right?
But sorry, although the NBA is the most influential professional basketball tournament in the world, the World Championships and the Olympics are also in their own league, and the Club World Cup's influence has also begun to slowly increase.
As the most influential and best-performing star in the international arena, Ruda is fully qualified to have such a disdainful attitude towards the NBA. If you don't accept it, come out and beat me!
Not to mention how depressed the Americans are now, after defeating the Soviet Union, the Chinese team once again took a step closer to its best result in history. They reached the semi-finals of the World Championships for the first time in history.
This also greatly increased the influence of the Chinese men's basketball team in the country, because the two opponents they defeated were the United States and the Soviet Union, which are the two strongest poles on the planet!
For the first time, Ruda's name has reached the level of "national hero", and for the first time, someone has compared him with Wu Jie, and listed them as the "peerless twins" in the Chinese sports world.
Luda finally rose to the level of the second best player in Chinese sports with his outstanding performance in the World Championships. It is said that the competition for this position is becoming more and more fierce now.
Then the next step is to keep up the good work. The next opponent of the Chinese team is the previous champion Yugoslavia.
Before the disintegration, Yugoslavia's basketball strength was not inferior to that of the United States in the 1960s and 1970s, including the 1980s. This can be seen from their results in the World Championships and Olympic Games.
The strength of world basketball began with the Cold War. In the 1950s and 1960s, the strengths of the United States, the Soviet Union, and Yugoslavia were similar to each other, and Brazil and Argentina also had higher strengths.
The level of basketball in South America began to decline in the mid-1960s. In the Olympics and World Championships, the United States, the Soviet Union, and Yugoslavia were basically left to compete for hegemony.
Americans pay more attention to the Olympics, so they have the most Olympic champions, but their performance in the World Championships has always been poor.
The Soviet Union and Yugoslavia basically won the championship in every World Championships, but together they can compete with the United States in the Olympic Games.
Therefore, the United States and the Soviet Union are currently the strongest in the international basketball arena, followed by Yugoslavia.
Now that the Chinese team has defeated the most powerful bipolar teams one after another, it basically represents the rise of a fourth force that is not inferior.
Yugoslavia naturally attaches great importance to facing this powerful Chinese team, because the level Ruda showed in this World Championship can really be described as "unsolvable", and they can't think of a way to limit him.
Ruda said: "My arsenal doesn't stop there!"
In this game, Luda finally gave Qian Chenghai great relief because he finally used the "turn jumper" skill he taught him.
Qian Chenghai's pinnacle game as a player was when he scored 30 points with this "turnaround jumper" and led the Chinese team to defeat the then-incredible Soviet team. At that time, he became famous all over the world.
Many Chinese fans later did not know that the picturesque turnaround jump shot of Jordan and Kobe was actually invented by Chinese star Qian Chenghai.
It's not that Luda didn't use this move on purpose, but he had too many techniques that he couldn't even use "Fantasy Steps".
But today Yugoslavia's strange defense was to stick to the basket. The two tall and strong insiders could not leave the penalty area. Ruda would be double-teamed from the outside when he pulled out the mid-range shot.
To be honest, he also has other ways to break this kind of defense, but the defense intensity in the low post area just outside the penalty area is not high, so he might as well give Lao Qian a face.
But this face made Yugoslavia's defense very embarrassed. Ruda didn't hit the penalty area at all. He didn't pull out to face the frame or fire from a distance. Instead, he leaned back and hit a few times in the two low positions, and then immediately
Turn around and shoot with a picturesque jump shot with a slight fadeaway.
This kind of shooting technique is relatively common in the NBA, but it is mainly used by some small forwards with excellent physical fitness. There are still not many inside players who can play like this.
Players who play like this in the international arena are even rarer, because the existing international basketball rules allow for more efficient offensive methods to choose from.
But precisely because of the rarity, after Ruda continuously hit the ball with such picturesque turnaround jumpers, not only the fans at the scene let out bursts of exclamations, but the fans in front of the TV once again couldn't tell whether Luda was a center or not.
Already?
"Do all Chinese insiders play like this now?"
The American audience also felt that they were watching a new world, especially when they saw Ruda succeeding in several consecutive turnaround jumpers. After Yugoslavia's defense had to take action, he suddenly turned his back and went to the basket, facing the Yugoslavia inside man who was rushing to defend.
After a thunderous dunk, even the American audience couldn't help but cheer loudly for the guy who had slaughtered them just a few days ago!
The Yugoslav players' mentality was very explosive, because no matter how they arranged it or targeted it, Ruda could immediately use completely different methods to break it and continue to do whatever he wanted.
In the second half, they simply followed Spain's lead and let this unsolvable guy score.
But this time the Chinese players no longer faced the challenge. As long as Yugoslavia dared to defend Ruda one-on-one, they would dare to let Ruda play in singles until the end of the game.
The Yugoslavs did not expect that this move would lose its effect in their own hands. Ruda soon used outrageous scoring efficiency to help the Chinese team expand its lead to 20 points in the second half.
Even if Ruda really couldn't win at this time, the Yugoslavs would not be able to catch up with such a huge point difference.
The final score was 104:90. In the semi-finals, the Chinese team relied on Ruda's unstoppable personal performance and eliminated another top three team in the world.
