Chapter 364 The dream team’s undefeated myth is shattered

83:94

In the end, the Chinese team lost to the American team by 11 points, ending the group stage.

This result is actually not unacceptable.

After all, this is Team USA, this is the dream team!

In this game, Wang Hao still performed very well, with 27 points, 4 rebounds, 6 assists, and 2 blocks.

His main task has always been to organize offense, but when he needs to score, he can really score.

It's a pity that the Chinese team still needs to continue to improve.

To be honest, if it weren't for Yao Ming's foul problem, the result of today's game would be really uncomfortable.

In the second half of the game, Yao Ming was troubled by foul trouble and his performance dropped a lot.

In the end, he scored 17 points, 10 rebounds, and 4 blocks.

However, 14 points and 8 rebounds were obtained in the first half of the game, and he failed to play well in the second half.

As for the performance of others, it is also somewhat unstable.

The only good news is that the Chinese team has 2 wins and 1 loss in the group stage and has firmly entered the rematch.

Next, they will have one day of rest before the rematch begins.

In Group C, the Chinese team ranked second with 2 wins and 1 loss. The first place was naturally the American team, which had won all three games. The German team retained the last promotion spot.

At the same time, their opponents in the rematch will be opponents from Group D.

In Group D, Argentina ranked first in all three games, followed by New Zealand and Russia.

As for the other two groups, they have all finished the competition.

In Group A, Spain, Yugoslavia, and Angola from Africa advanced to the semi-finals.

Group B includes Brazil, Puerto Rico and Türkiye.

The next schedule of the Chinese team is as follows. They will face three opponents on September 3rd, 4th, and 5th.

Because the results in the group stage are included in the rematch results, that is to say, the Chinese team has a slight advantage.

They need to guarantee at least one victory, which is relatively easy.

Of course, winning one victory is the bottom line and is not a sure thing.

If the Chinese team wants to advance steadily, it must win at least two games.

For the next three opponents, except for Argentina, I am actually not very familiar with them.

After all, it is rare to play a game in the international arena. Even if we played last time, there may be substitutions this time.

That is the Argentine team, which has been very popular in recent years.

On September 3, the Chinese team faced its first opponent, the New Zealand team.

To be honest, in everyone's mind, New Zealand is a small island country with a small population.

I actually don’t have much impression of the New Zealand basketball team.

On the contrary, the Australian team is more impressive. In fact, of course Australia has not yet risen.

In recent years, the New Zealand basketball team has become stronger.

Today's New Zealand team is actually just an NBA player, who still can't play.

However, in the New Zealand team, there are many stars from the New Zealand local league.

Not only that, even if the outstanding players of the New Zealand team cannot play in the NBA, they will go to Europe to play.

Today's European Basketball League is full of gold.

The player who plays in the NBA is called Sean Marx. He is a center with good strength and confrontation.

It's a pity that the height is a little short, less than 210 centimeters.

In addition, in the previous group matches, the best performer was Kirk Penny.

This guy is incredible.

He has played in European leagues all year round and is very adaptable to the international arena. It can be said that he is like a duck in water.

In international competitions, he can easily average 20+ per game.

In the 2010 World Championships, Kokpeni ranked second in the scoring list with 24.7 points.

However, the Chinese team is very confident about today's game.

In the original time and space, in this game, the Chinese team actually had a good chance.

Li Nan scored 6 three-pointers in the game and scored 33 points. This performance can be regarded as a classic game for his national team.

It's a pity that this game was lost.

In fact, until the fourth quarter of the game, the Chinese team was firmly leading by double digits, but lost at the last moment.

There are three problems. The first is physical fitness, the second is the inability to adapt to high-intensity confrontation, and the last is no one on the outside to handle the ball.

There was nothing Wang Hao could do about the first problem, but he could solve the latter two problems.

Sure enough, at the beginning of the first quarter, the Chinese team made a lot of progress and took the lead instantly.

Although Li Nan did not start, Hu Weidong, who started, performed well, scoring 2 three-pointers in a single quarter.

In the first quarter of the game, the Chinese team led 35:14, already leading by 12 points.

In the second quarter of the game, New Zealand wanted to use outside shooting to counterattack, but suddenly found that the outside was misfiring.

Kokpeni, who originally shined in the group stage, was completely locked up by Wang Hao.

In the second half, New Zealand looked for ways to press the game and force the Chinese team to make mistakes.

Wang Hao simply asked everyone to go to the frontcourt while he dribbled the ball from the backcourt alone.

New Zealand players don't believe in evil and still want to press.

As a result, Wang Hao suddenly exerted his strength, pushed away the defensive player, and took the opportunity to speed up.

He didn't hesitate and went straight to the basket.

Sean Marx took one look and stood in front of the basket without any hesitation. He wanted to protect the basket.

Having reached this point, Wang Hao naturally did not give up.

Wang Hao was seen jumping high, and at the same time, Sean Marx also jumped up, trying to stop Wang Hao.

I have to say that as a center, his confrontation is not bad.

When the two bodies collided in mid-air, Wang Hao's body was slightly unbalanced.

Especially the basketball in his hand was a little out of control, which forced Wang Hao to grab the basketball with both hands.

It's a pity that Sean Marx is still a bit short, and his physical athleticism is also very average.

After the two bodies collided, Sean Marx inevitably fell to the ground from mid-air.

But at this time, Wang Hao seemed to be stuck in the air, staying in the air, and then slammed the ball towards the basket.

To put it simply, Wang Hao just jumps up, confronts the defensive player, and then waits for the defensive player to land before he dunks.

The body was fighting in mid-air and had lost its balance. After Sean Marx landed, he inevitably fell backwards.

At this time, Wang Hao grabbed the basket with both hands and took the opportunity to stabilize his body balance.

"Boom!"

At this moment, in addition to the creaking of the basket, the whole place was boiling.

"Oh my God! Oh my God!"

"Wang dunked the defensive player, which was incredible."

"Now I declare that this is definitely the most exciting goal in this World Championship."

…

Not just the DJ on site, but also the fans on site.

In addition to them, there are actually some teams in the arena that are paying attention to this game.

At this moment, these players were also holding their heads with their hands. They were simply unbelievable about this goal.

It was Wang Hao's words that seemed to directly shatter New Zealand's confidence in this dunk.

In the following games, they never launched a counterattack, but were squeezed to death by the point difference.
