Chapter 360 The first battle of the World Championships

"Dayao, you are in such a miserable state now."

It was the beginning of another day's training session, and as soon as Wang Hao arrived, he said this.

Yao Ming looked surprised: "What's wrong?"

"The guys from Team USA are eyeing you, and they're all betting on who can dunk on you when the time comes."

In the original time and space, Wang Hao had heard of this matter, but it was just some rumors.

Who would have thought, this time he really knew.

That guy Paul Pierce didn't care about human affairs, and actually invited the entire US team to bet together.

Each player is given 400 US dollars, and whoever can be the first to dunk over Yao Ming will take away the money.

"what happened?"

"What else can happen? You became the number one pick in this year's draft. This is really enviable.

You know, the players on the current U.S. team did not have the status of No. 1 pick when they entered the league."

"No, you can't blame me, right?"

Yao Ming was a little speechless. This was such a disaster. He was also helpless!

"It's true that I can't blame you, but if people are willing to bet on you, what can you do?

However, you don’t have to worry, the current US team is average in strength and doesn’t have many powerful players.

Don’t worry, just play hard and teach them a lesson when the time comes.”

Wang Hao is not talking nonsense. Today’s Dream Team of Team USA, also known as Dream Team 5, is really not good!

Baron Davis, Jay Williams, Andre Miller, Michael Finley, Reggie Miller, Paul Pierce, Shawn Marion, Antonio Davis, Elton Brand, Ben Wallace

, Lefla Ferenc and Nick Collison.

Among these people, there are no first-class stars, only a few players who have reached All-Star level.

Even Jay Williams, like Yao Ming, just entered the league this year.

As for Nick Collison, he hasn't even entered the NBA yet, but came from the NCAA.

It can only be said that the current US team is really arrogant to the extreme.

It seems that in their opinion, as long as they send a few random people, they can show off their power in world basketball.

As everyone knows, world basketball is also making rapid progress.

Defeating the American team is not just a casual thought for Wang Hao, it is very possible.

After all, in this world championship in the original time and space, the Americans' results were very average.

Not only did I not win a medal, my ranking was also very poor.

Other teams can do as well as the US team, but not the Chinese team?

Time flies to August 29, and the 2002 Indiana Men's Basketball World Championship is about to begin.

The opening match was played between Yugoslavia and Angola.

The results speak for themselves. Yugoslavia beat Angola by 50 points and got a good start in the group stage.

This is the Blue Flag of Yugoslavia, Yugoslavia before it was disintegrated.

Even after the disintegration, whether it is the Serbian and Montenegrin team, the Montenegrin team, or the Serbian team.

Many years later, those are teams that have achieved excellent records in the international basketball world.

The strength of the Yugoslav team is indeed extraordinary.

When it is late on the same day, this is American time. If it is changed to Chinese time, it will be the morning of the 30th.

"CCTV, CCTV..."

At 6 o'clock in the morning, CCTV started today's television broadcast early.

Not only the TV hosts and commentators, but also countless fans also got up early in the morning.

China has a vast territory. At this time, if you are in the east, it will be fine, it is already dawn.

But if it were the west, it would still be dark.

Some fans even just watch TV for a while before going to work.

There is no other reason, they just want to support China and their national team.

Today, the Chinese team's first opponent in the World Championships is the German team from Europe.

Before the game, Wang Hao and Wang Zhizhi met with Nowitzki and briefly said hello.

Against the German team, to be honest, Wang Hao is still confident.

Today's German team is not bad, but it is definitely not its strongest.

Among the German team, only Nowitzki can play in the NBA.

Of course, they don't play in the NBA, but they also play in the European leagues. The strength of the German team should not be underestimated.

After the shooting warm-up, the referee has communicated with the technical desk and the game officially begins.

Let me also talk about the starting lineups of the two teams today. The German team started with two defenders.

Rohrer and Dimirel are both over 180 centimeters tall. They are typical small guards and very fast.

At the small forward position is Rodel, the oldest member of the German team, who is 33 years old this year.

Obviously, the German team's head coach Dittmann hopes to use these veterans to restrict Wang Hao a little.

As for the inside, Nowitzki and Fleming are partnered. Both of them are over 210 centimeters tall and have strong air defense capabilities.

The Huaxia team actually has the same starting lineup, which has not changed from the past.

Guo Shiqiang, Hu Weidong, Wang Hao, as well as Wang Zhizhi and Yao Ming.

At the beginning of the game, Yao Ming used his height advantage to seize the first offensive opportunity of the game.

Guo Shiqiang dribbled the ball past half-court, and without any delay, he immediately passed the ball to Wang Hao on the wing.

Wang Hao didn't waste any time and immediately passed the ball to Yao Ming inside.

The Chinese team's advantage lies in the interior. If they don't take advantage of this advantage, then there is something wrong with their brains.

The German team, perhaps because of confidence or unfamiliarity, did not choose to double-team.

Facing the German team's big center Fleming, Yao Ming turned his back and easily hit a hook shot from close range.

2:0

Yes, it's that easy.

With a height advantage of more than ten centimeters, it is not easy to easily get the chance to shoot.

Looking back, the German team's offense, through conduction from the outside, also gave the ball to Nowitzki.

As the core of the German team, Nowitzki not only has to bear the responsibility of the offensive end point, he is also the one who initiates the offense.

The Chinese team chose to let Wang Zhizhi defend Nowitzki alone.

To be honest, there is something wrong with this tactical arrangement. Perhaps the head coach Wang Fei is not familiar with Nowitzki.

Of course, it is also possible that Wang Fei trusts Wang Zhizhi very much.

Wang Zhizhi once played under Wang Fei when he was in the Bayi team. This can be regarded as mutual trust between master and disciple.

only……

Nowitzki was not polite when he saw that no one was double-teaming him, and he was also very familiar with Wang Zhizhi.

First there was a test of a fake move, and then Nowitzki made a direct shot.

From the mid-range position, he just pulled out his hand without any hesitation.

Seeing this scene, head coach Wang Fei was a little confused.

No, as an inside player, if you have such an opportunity to play in isolation, shouldn't you go inside?

In fact, he also made arrangements to defend Nowitzki, that is, letting Yao Ming help defend inside.

But who would have thought, they wouldn't go inside at all.

The game continued, with the Chinese team's offense, the ball still came to Wang Hao's hands, and Wang Hao gave the ball to Yao Ming again.

This time, the German team reacted, and Rodel was eager to double-team.

Yao Ming also reacted extremely quickly and returned the ball directly to Wang Hao.

Rodel is worthy of being a 33-year-old veteran. He was ready to return to defense and returned to the defensive position immediately.
