There is no direct feeling about how strong a person is, and only relying on predictions, there is always deviation, especially since I have fought with this person before. According to the estimate of that fight, the deviation may be even greater.

During the 200-01 season, Ginobili led Bologna Vitus to win the Italian League championship, Cup championship, European League championship, and was crowned the European Triple Crown.

In the 2001-02 season, Ginobili was already recognized as the No. 1 defender in the European League. After the contract expired, he accepted the Supersonics' contract with the 20th pick in the first round for four years.

The salary is about a little lower than the annual salary given by Bologna Vitus Club, which is about US$2.2 million, but Ginobili can no longer find an opponent in Europe and wants to go to a stronger league.

He knew that when he entered the NBA, he would not be the best one, and he even needed to play as a substitute, so he was mentally prepared.

But he is the number one defender in the European League and has a certain degree of confidence.

But the superstar in front of me who is about to become a teammate is a bit too much!

That visual impact is terrible!

When Argentina attacked, Scola took over the offensive banner, turned around beautifully and took the back and turned to play Liu Yudong's baseline jump shot.

In the Spanish team, although they were upset by the German team in the quarterfinals, Gasol still played the title of world's number one center.

Gasol's height, wingspan, skills, and playing characteristics are too strong in international competitions.

Since Zhang Hao plays as a small forward in the international arena, the title of "strongest forward" in this World Championships is Argentina's young player Louis Scola.

With huge differences in body size, Scola cannot protect the frame like Gasol, but on the offensive end, it is really no worse than Gasol in the international arena.

Scola's initiative to ask for the ball also awakened Ginobili, who wanted to "repay one".

Ginobili decided to focus on Scola's clear strength and slowly start to take advantage of the teammate of the new club opposite. The teammate from the new club was a little scared!

But the Chinese team took advantage of Zhang Hao's point of scoring.

Wang Zhizhi's shots on the outside are very accurate. When Zhang Hao catches the ball in the top arc, Wang Zhizhi usually stays at a 45-degree angle on both sides. Zhang Hao shoots, Wang Zhizhi retreats to defend, Zhang Hao breaks, and Wang Zhizhi moves to the top arc, receiving the ball or receiving the support.

Liu Yudong shot very accurately in the elbow area on both sides, and the quick catch of the ball was also very accurate. With that moment of confrontation, Liu Yudong was so shocked. In fact, even if Hu Weidong did not enter the NBA, Liu Yudong was the best player since the establishment of the A-level in most people.

At the World Championships, Liu Yudong continued his outstanding state of averaging 37 points in the league. He played supporting roles and had to defend Scola... Zhang Hao couldn't handle it even if he went there, but he only considered functional types on the offensive end, which was very powerful!

Guo Shiqiang is indeed less than the world's first-class level, but his height of 193 cm is quite advantageous in the point guard position. He suffers from weight but his speed is still good. He is at the peak at the age of 27, with three points accurate, and can keep up with people when defense, not dragging his legs, and maintain a certain accuracy in large gaps. It is already very good.

Hu Weidong and Zhang Hao are the main attackers, and the rest of the Chinese team do what they should do.

Functionality, since the two world competitions, the Chinese men's basketball team has been emphasizing that the adjustments have been made, and it was only when this World Championships that it truly reached a satisfactory state.

Liu Yudong and Wang Zhizhi can do more, but if the former needs to do more, what Zhang Hao and Hu Weidong need Liu Yudong to do the most is, Liu Yudong may not be able to do so well.

Wang Zhizhi is better. He can be the main attacking point, but that will separate the ball rights of Zhang Hao or Hu Weidong.

Hu Weidong is the strongest outside line of the Chinese men's basketball team, and there is no need to say more about Zhang Hao.

After the functionality is clear, the physical strength of the two is actually a great benefit!

Just like Ginobili speculates how strong Zhang Hao is based on Zhang Hao's performance in 1998 and Zhang Hao's performance seen in the news and videos.

The last time the Argentine team fought against the Chinese team was in 1998. A few years later, more people still use the experience of the match and the video to infer the Chinese team.

In many aspects, this analysis is fine.

For example, in terms of the strength of the Chinese team's players, except that Zhang Hao's predictions are somewhat inaccurate, there is no problem for others.

However, the Chinese team's players' playing style was greatly beyond the expectations of the Argentina team.

Players like Wang Zhizhi, who gets Argentina, is also used as core centers. Due to the difference in size, if the Argentina coach has a center like Wang Zhizhi, Scola will definitely help Wang Zhizhi play.

But the Chinese team is not. In the starting stage, Wang Zhizhi was used as a support point and a support point!

Only when the Argentine team personally fights against the Chinese team can they clearly feel these very detailed things.

Another point... The Chinese team truly completed the "functional" adjustment after experiencing the group stage of this World Championship. The previous training has been adjusted, but it was completely adjusted after the group stage.

Bad information is also an advantage of the Chinese team.

At 9 minutes and 47 seconds in the first quarter, Zhang Hao cut into the singles score from Yao Ming's free throw line, and shook a shot. The Argentine center Volkoviski jumped. Zhang Hao jumped with Volkoviski, pulling the rod, and throwing...

Accompanied by the whistle, Zhang Hao maintained stability in the battle pull rod, found the shooting feeling, and made a throw shot!

29 to 26, the Chinese team led by 3 points, and Zhang Hao also had extra free throws!

The outside line looks like Jordan and the inside line looks like Malone, that's unreasonable!

Zhang Hao walked onto the free throw line and made a free throw, and the score difference widened to 4 points.

Argentina made the last attack in the first quarter, and Ginobili took a mid-range jump shot... It was iron!

Zhang Hao grabbed the defensive rebound and made a three-pointer in the backcourt... missed.

After the first quarter, the Chinese team led by 30-26 and ended with 4 points in the first quarter!

Ginobili's middle distance is really bad. The basket's radius is three meters away, so it's basically unscheduled. Fortunately, the free throw line is OK, and all the free throws were made in the first quarter.

But the three-pointer was very good. He scored an open three-pointer in the first quarter, plus a dunk for receiving the ball, two free throws, and scored 7 points.

And it was similar to what Zhang Hao expected. Ginobili had a bad stability. 7 points were all concentrated in the first quarter 4 to 6 minutes. Outside these three minutes, Ginobili only had 1 rebound and 1 assist.

But someone took it back and gave Yao Ming a block to play single at the basket, and his athletic ability was quite outstanding.

It is also very simple for the Chinese team to defend Ginobili. First of all, Zhang Hao attacks Ginobili to play singles in the arc.

Ginobili plays without the ball, or passes the ball out through the breakthrough, Zhang Hao will replace the defense with Guo Shiqiang or Hu Weidong, Liu Wei or Li Nan who appears as a substitute. These four people mainly defend Ginobili to catch the ball and shoot, and hand it over to Wang Zhizhi or Yao Ming who appears as a substitute. Zhang Hao will make up for the defense at the bottom line...

Everyone's role is very clear, not only the teammates' roles are clear, but Zhang Hao's role is just as clear.

The team has clear offensive ideas and reasonably arrange roles on the defensive end...

Silver Fox was renewed in 1999. When the contract was renewed until the end of the 2004 Olympics, it decided to adjust this way, and it was just a budding place in the 1998 World Championships.

Silver Fox didn't say it clearly, but two players, Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi, who have played in the NCAA for three or four years, as well as Zhang Hao, who watches the NCAA finals every year, and those domestic veterans who can watch the NCAA domestic live broadcast, all saw that Silver Fox coaches the Chinese men's basketball team and is creating an NCAA-style system.

It might be difficult to deal with basketball teams from other countries, but contemporary Chinese basketball players really obey the arrangements.

It took two training camps, one Olympic Games, and the group stage of this World Championships. Finally, the whole team worked together to complete the system!

Combining the personal abilities of the four core players Zhang Hao, Wang Zhizhi, Yao Ming and Hu Weidong, relying on overall strength + key stars’ personal singles in the first quarter, he beat Argentina!

No matter how strong or weak everyone plays their role in a certain link, everyone in the Chinese men's basketball team feels very happy!

This is a feeling that even the Olympics of the previous year are not as good as those!

At that time, the Chinese team's sense of teamwork was far less effective than Zhang Hao's personal ability, but now it's completely different!

Zhang Hao was also very excited - 'The personal training of European basketball + NCAA team cooperation is indeed a big deal! The problem is that at least two core players who can play all over the game must have the level of superstars, at least to the level of stable Ginobili or Scola in the international arena, or four or five top-level players, to have the opportunity to compete for the championship...'

As long as Chinese basketball players are trained properly, there should be no big problem with Wang Zhizhi, who is at the top level in the international arena. As long as their generation achieves enough results, the country will continue to pay attention to it.

But a superstar player... is indeed rare. It is not that easy to see talent at a glance like Hu Weidong and Yao Ming.

There are still differences in races, white superstars are not that common, and European and American basketball players are so large...

Black people have great advantages in this regard.

‘Our country has a large population, so it is possible to raise the base...wait...’

Zhang Hao, who was walking towards the bench, turned to look at the little Loli and Britney holding his son opposite the technical stand, and the father holding his daughter... When a group of people saw him looking at them, they all waved at Zhang Hao.

But Zhang Hao was not watching them, but the two cubs.

‘Does it depend on these two boys?

No! Chinese basketball takes jujube pills!’

...

If the Chinese men's basketball team won the gold medal in the 2000 Olympics, and they still had a lot of luck, their team abilities were not that good.

Then in this World Championships, the Chinese men's basketball team really has the strength of a top-notch team.

The Argentina team is also the world's top team.

The performance of the World Championships so far has been long and has won four consecutive games until the semi-finals, with no exception.

After the second quarter, Zhang Hao was in the inside line, and Wang Zhizhi took the lead at a big step outside the three-point line and even outside the three-point line, driving the entire team.

Du Feng's cutting into the attacking box, Zhu Fangyu or Li Nan's three-pointer, Liu Wei's breakthrough and small throw shot...

It is still a very stable team attack with distinct roles for everyone.

In the Argentina team, Scola's singles, Oberto's contact and rushing, Noscione's mid- and long shot, Ginobili's singles and contact shooting, Leonardo Gutierrez's counterattack, Volkoviski's baseline shot...

He is also a star with superb teamwork and excellent personal abilities.

At the end of the first half, Argentina scored 55-57, narrowing the gap to two points, and scored 29-27 in a single quarter.

In the middle of the third quarter, Ginobili made another wave, scored 6 points and sent two exquisite assists. Nosioni made a long two-pointer, Scola made a three-pointer in the bottom corner, and scored a 11-5 wave, overtaking the score by three-pointer. Argentina scored the score to 75-72!

But immediately, Zhang Hao succeeded in counterattacks twice in a row, hitting a 4-0 wave, and the Chinese team took the lead by 1 point 76-75.

At critical moments, you still have to rely on stability. Stability, and then you have to rely on superstars.

Yao Ming is a player with relatively limited abilities. Compared with Wang Zhizhi, Yao Ming is relatively more suitable for being a team puzzle.

This is not a judgment of contempt, but based on the characteristics of playing style.

In comparison, Wang Zhizhi's characteristics are more suitable to be the core of a team.

But there are not so many things that can be done.
To be continued...
