533. The finals where the light shines! (4D(1/4)
At this moment, less than 3,000 Chinese fans and overseas Chinese fans at the scene burst into cheers! It once overshadowed all the sounds at the scene.
They saw this scene with their own eyes!
If you repeat the Olympic movements, it will seem very deliberate, but this slightly frivolous movement... shows Zhang Hao's confidence at this moment, and also has the picture that the Chinese people want, which doesn't seem so deliberate.
In fact, whether it is OK or not is completely unimportant for most Chinese sports fans.
When Zhang Hao really makes this move in every World Championship, it will become a landmark move, not anything else.
The enthusiasm of the fans on the scene greatly inspired the members of the Chinese men's basketball team.
After enjoying the cheers for a while, Zhang Hao felt several hot gazes.
Although Radmanovic is very dishonest in Yugoslavia and has troubled his teammates during the group stage, he has a very good sense of belonging in the Bulls. He was beaten by Zhang Hao in the finals last season and now he regards Zhang Hao and the Supersonics as his mortal enemies.
Divac...the revenge of the deal many years ago.
This Serbian center is very vengeful and has a hot temper. Compared with him, the gentleman's mind is really broad.
Divac will remember this kind of thing for the rest of his life, just like hating the Lakers.
Peijia, who was originally disliked by Zhang Hao, added a bit of hatred to the Western Finals.
Zhang Hao was mentally prepared for this, and it was not very important.
For this final, Zhang Hao stepped onto the court with a challenger's mentality.
Zhang Hao respects this opponent very much. From 1967 to 1998, only three countries won the championship in the World Basketball Championship, the United States, the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia.
But, he wants to win!
The Silver Fox Plan, led by Zhang, and the entire national team worked together to achieve the current state. However, the older generation of outside players retired one by one, and only Guo Shiqiang was still in his peak period, and Hu Weidong was still at the peak. It is really hard to say for the next World Championships.
This time, I must win the championship!
...
There was also a small event before the game, where Nora Jones, the best female singer of Grammy, sang her Grammy winning works for the World Championship final... At 7:58 pm, the pre-game preparation was over and the two teams started.
Yugoslavia, Marko Yaric, Rakosevic, Peja, Radmanovic and Divac have made their starting lineup.
Marco Yaridge, a big point guard, 198 cm, played a substitute for Francis in the Clippers last season, and occasionally played a shooting guard, averaging 8.6 points, 4.8 assists and 1.6 steals per game. He performed very well, among which he had excellent defense and was particularly good in his fast break with Francis.
Rasekovic, Serie A's second-team shooting guard, is not tall, 191 cm, but has a strong ability.
The strength is quite strong! The strength of the German team that can defeat the US team and stabilize the pressure on this year's World Championships is evident.
The Chinese team sent the starting combination of Guo Shiqiang, Hu Weidong, Zhang Hao, Liu Yudong and Wang Zhizhi.
Now, when the Chinese men's basketball team sees a group of famous international stadiums opposite, they always think, "Just lose less," but now... beat him!
The competition begins at 8:00 pm!
Zhang Hao easily defeated Divac to win the jump ball, and after landing, he headed straight to the opposite basket. Guo Shiqiang passed the ball steadily. Zhang Hao received the ball and suddenly stepped into the free throw line. He was hit and stepped a step one meter away in front of the basket... He was pulled, but his arm was lifted up smoothly and threw the ball out...
I almost made it into the ball, and the ball was slammed around the neck of the basket, hitting the front of the basket, and bounced up again, and was directly slapped away by the opponent.
The fans on the scene shouted "interference ball", and a large number of fans raised their hands to draw circles.
But according to the rules of the international arena, as long as the ball is in the frame, it is a free ball right, you can make a tip-off, you can catch it, and interfere with the ball stage. After the ball hits the basket for the first time, it is over.
Of course, if the ball falls on the basket for the second time and has not left the basket, or if it falls directly into the basket for the second time, it will still interfere with the ball when it is touched.
That is the principle of ‘downward interference ball’.
But the referee whistle sounded when Zhang Hao took action.
Zhang Hao walked onto the free throw line and made both free throws steadily!
The goal is clear - the speed of hitting Divac is declining!
When the Kings played against the Mavericks in the second round, the Kings made good use of this.
Wang Zhizhi was restrained by the top arc, and Webber gave Peja a pick-and-roll at the free throw line behind Divac who was pulled out, and then broke it and cut in.
If Divac collects the basket, it's better, Webber just needs to play singles in the middle distance.
Originally, Wang Zhizhi and Divac also had an advantage in jumping the ball. This game allows Wang Zhizhi to jump the ball. Zhang Hao quickly fell from the wing, but then Yugoslav team delayed the obstacle on the wing first, and Divac retreated... In the previous quarter-finals and semi-finals, Yugoslav team's regional clamping and cutting the ball defense were done too well, and the state was completely played after the group stage.
Avoid as much as possible.
Just now, Zhang Hao jumped the ball and quickly bypassed Divac. The opponent's wing blocked defense and the power forward closed the middle and directly started to hit the basket, which was very good.
The offense and defense were changed, and it was time to Yugoslavia's attack.
Marco Yaric started to speed up the pace since receiving the serve.
To be precise, it started to sprint after Zhang Hao made a free throw. Divac was not the one who got the ball at the basket, Peja and Radmanovich were the ones who got the ball. When Zhang Hao made the free throw, Divac immediately ran forward.
Yaric passed the ball while pushing, Divac received the ball in one step within the three-point line, and then passed again. Rasekovic received the ball in the European step, and the hook in the step... hit!
Zhang Hao was really enough, but the little defender Rasekovic, the European step change rhythm, the timing of taking off, and the choice of attacking methods... is just right!
Rasekovic basically hooked the ball into the basket against Zhang Hao's face!
Yugoslavia's offense, standard traditional basketball gameplay - fast-paced offense and defense conversion.
This style of play also has another name - the champion style of play.
In the history of world basketball, there are three teams that mainly play this style, including the United States, the Soviet team, and the Yugoslavia team currently facing the Chinese men's basketball team.
The Chinese team chooses to play the NCAA-like team style that is more suitable for them.
As the competition deepened, China was at a disadvantage.
After the first quarter, Yao Ming, who came on the bench, passed the ball to Wang Zhizhi's bottom corner three-pointer. The Chinese team chased the score to 23-26, 3 points behind and entered the break between the quarters.
There is a clear difference between tonight's game and the previous game - Yao Ming's singles at the basket were restricted!
This is the first time in 6 games in this World Championships!
From this point of view, we can see that Yugoslavia is completely different from other opponents.
Divac, Drognac, Tomasevic, Kotulovic, Kabakapa, these five top inside players in the international arena, second only to O'Neal and Mooning and Camp, Buckley and Malone of Dream Team 3, and O'Neal and Olajuwon of Dream Team 3.
In the inside of the Chinese team, except for Zhang Hao who can rely on speed to attack the inside in some stages, other times, they can only score based on their mid-range shooting ability.
That is, Zhang Hao, Wang Zhizhi and Yao Ming's front three team were strong enough to bite the score in the middle and late sections of the first quarter. In the end, there were 5 seconds left, Yao Ming took Zhang Hao's serve and passed the second pass to Wang Zhizhi to make a three-pointer, which narrowed the gap to 3 points.
On the outside, the Chinese team had no advantage at all and was hit.
In the second quarter, the Chinese team continued to fall into a passive position, and only scored 17 points in a single quarter in the second quarter. In this quarter, Yugoslavia's defensive adjustment was extremely effective.
Yugoslavia's offensive firepower continued to be excellent, scoring 24 points in a single quarter.
After the half, the Chinese team fell behind Yugoslavia 10 points 40-50!
...
Playing so passively is the first time the Chinese team has played this year!
Although the first half of the team was passive, they could at least tighten the situation. However, when they faced Yugoslavia, which was in excellent condition, the Chinese team was widened to a double-digit score difference in the first half.
During the halftime break, the Chinese team felt unprecedented pressure.
Too strong! Yugoslavia, every player is world-class, either playing in the NBA or serving as the main and even core players in major European leagues.
The style of play is clear, the cooperation is tacit, the cooperation is in place, and the condition is excellent.
The Chinese team felt the powerlessness of the American team and the German team after entering the finals.
The American team won all three games in the group stage, and was directly beaten by Yugoslavia in the quarterfinals.
The German team was in such a good state in the finals, and they were surprised to defeat two strong teams, Spain and Argentina, which were gradually entering the golden age.
It can be felt that even if their Chinese team played in the most appropriate way and played the most effective cooperation, they were still steadily suppressed.
During the intermission, Guo Shiqiang sighed: "It would be great if Brother Jun and Brother Yong were still there..."
On the other hand, Zhang Hao and Yinhu stood together to discuss after entering the intermission.
"Aix, I think I can ignore the tactical system."
"good."
When I heard Zhang Hao’s ‘Ou’, the silver fox raised his head like a roe deer, feeling like he was about to take the blame.
But just carry it! Those who are brave enough to starve to death will starve to death. If you continue to fight like this, you will basically lose.
The Silver Fox made a decisive decision and began to think of ways to adjust his playing style...
The ‘giving up’ tactical system is actually to follow the tactical system and find new ideas.
Although the Chinese men's basketball players played very hot in the first half, their strong team mentality has been trained in the past two world competitions.
Although the pressure was very high and I felt powerless for a while, the Chinese players still did not give up. Everyone was thinking of ways to do better in the game.
After a while of rest, when the Silver Fox began to arrange tactics, the Chinese players were shocked.
This team played well and had won five consecutive games and rushed to the finals. Although they were very weak in the first half, they were not able to catch up. As long as they shoot better outside the perimeter after the confrontation, they will be more stable when cutting in, and the mid-range shots will be more accurate under the opponent's fast rotation area...
Well, according to the arrangement of Silver Fox, other players work hard to cooperate and rely on the stars to make the tough steel!
