Healing Basketball

Chapter 751. The Mountain in Puerto Rico Comes Again
The scene of the players of the Japanese team shedding tears after the game, and many people crying with their heads in their arms, became a footnote for the opening game of this World Championship.

When Liu Xiu saw this scene, she found that she didn't feel any guilt at all.

He felt a pity that the only Japanese he knew were the few words commonly used by the action film teachers, and he didn't know much, so he couldn't heal the Japanese team players.

The person in charge of the schedule of the Japanese organizer also knelt down with the Japanese players, wanting to commit seppuku on the spot.

After being assigned to a group with the Chinese team, they just wanted to use the gimmick of the "opening match between China and Japan" to attract the attention of Chinese tourists.

He thought he would lose, but he didn't expect the gap to be so big!

What's more, he didn't expect that the other party didn't treat them as human beings at all, and they were punished to death like pigs!
After the game, Liu Xiu read some news and forum posts.

The domestic news is raving about this game.

The former Soviet Union hammered China and Africa with more than 90 points, which was regarded as an unsurpassable point difference. They broke it, and they abused their feet...

Most of the posts in the forum are boasting.

But at times like this, some weird remarks can come out, such as disregarding the friendship between China and Japan, and lack of sportsmanship... Liu Xiu built a trumpet to show those people what quality crit is.

The foot pot chicken arranged the opening game in the early morning of Japan time, so that Ying Jiang could watch the live broadcast in prime time, because American fans really want to know the strength of the Chinese team and want to see Liu Xiu in the world. performance on the field.

Liu Xiu browsed the American forums, and there were not many people who sympathized with the Japanese team. Most of the replies to the posts were related to the Dream Seven team.

In this World Championships, American fans regard the Chinese team as the number one imaginary enemy. After all, the Chinese team defeated Dream Six twice two years ago.

As for the news from Japan, Liu Xiu didn't read it. If there is no accident, it must be a group of Baga calling Baga...

...

Although the Japanese team was miserable, after a few hours, the organizers were in pain and happiness.

The host was abused for more than 100 points in the opening game, making this world championship a success!
From the number of visits to the official website of the World Championships, the data feedback from search engines in various countries, the live broadcasts of subsequent games, etc., the organizers learned that sports fans in countries where the basketball atmosphere is not strong are all because of a difference of more than 100 points. This matter has generated interest in this World Championships.

This also affects the countries that are participating.

At 10 a.m. the next morning, Team USA played Puerto Rico at the Saitama Super Arena.

Yesterday, the Chinese team won more than 100 points here. The players of the Dream Seven team felt the pressure, and everyone was asking how many points they could beat their opponents.

Originally, against the evil star of the Puerto Rico team, the old coach K arranged to play steadily.

The old coach K felt that they lost to the Puerto Rico team in 04 because they were too anxious and careless. In addition, the head coach did not have the ability to respond on the spot, so they were hammered. If you do well, you will never lose.

But after the start of the game, the players of the U.S. team looked stunned. Janeway took the lead in rushing in and was capped. The defensive end couldn't guard against Arroyo, a big killer in the international arena. The U.S. team started 7-16 behind Puerto Rico.

When it came to the rotation stage, Hinrich, Joe Johnson, Anthony, Jamison, and Bosh were replaced and played quite well.

Anthony's dominance in the international arena is beginning to show!

This lineup scored 15 to 11. After the first quarter, the US team and the Puerto Rico team scored 22 to 27, and the point difference was reduced to 5 points.

But the old K coach made a wrong decision at the beginning of the second quarter and let Janeway play again, accompanied by Anthony, Jamison and Bosh.

He kept reminding the players not to rush, but instead he became impatient, wanting to maintain his outside shooting ability while strengthening his breakthrough.

The strongest breakthrough in the US team is naturally Janeway.

But after Janeway played, Anthony, Jamison, and Bosh all became spot-up shooters.

7分多钟后，分差从5分拉开到11分，波多黎各队打出了一波21比15，以48比37领先美国队！
At this time, the Puerto Rico team was already playing well. Even if the adjustments made by the old coach K were not bad, it was too late.

By 11:51 p.m., the U.S.-Puerto Rico game was over.

111 to 100, relying on Arroyo's 27 points, 9 assists and 3 steals, the Puerto Rico team defeated the US team by 11 points, defeating the US team in the first game of two consecutive World Series, setting a record!
...

On Liu Xiu's side, he was preparing for the match against Angola at 1 p.m., but unexpectedly, the US team lost to the Puerto Rico team again.

That mountain in Puerto Rico is a bit hard!
He looked at Group C where the U.S. team was in, and felt a little regretful. If Serbia and Montenegro or Turkey were placed in Group C to replace Australia or Brazil, then Lithuania and Greece would have to play their lives to make things happen, and it would be a happy event for the U.S. team.

But just think about it, this matter is still not so easy. In 02, the US team pulled it like that, and it was still the sixth in the world in the end.

After chatting with his teammates, the US team lost again, and Liu Xiu continued to devote himself to the warm-up session.

At 1 pm, the match between the Chinese team and the Angola team started at the National Stadium in Sapporo.

This arena can only accommodate more than 8000 fans, and the seats are full.

Liu Xiu heard that the Japanese team temporarily increased ticket prices. After yesterday's opening game, when people went to buy tickets for the Chinese team's follow-up games, the prices were almost doubled. This is still the official price.

到了下午2点44分，经过1小时44分钟比赛后，靠着刘秀的11分3板4助攻2抢断、姚明的27分、朱芳雨的19分、王治郅的9分7板5助攻1盖帽……中国队以109比91轻取安哥拉队，拿下两连胜。

Seeing that Liu Xiu only played for 16 minutes, and he was far from playing as hard as the previous game, the Japanese audience broke the defense directly, shouting something near the entrance of the player tunnel, but Liu Xiu didn't understand...

After a night of rest, at 8 pm on August 21, the match between the Chinese team and the Italian team started at the Sapporo National Gymnasium.

This opponent is completely different from the previous two opponents!
The Italian team also won the first two games, defeating Senegal and Slovenia. Senegal is very weak and lost to the Japanese team yesterday, but Slovenia is a European powerhouse.

After the first quarter, the Chinese team fell behind in the first quarter for the first time in this World Championships, and also set a new record low in the first quarter, scoring only 14 points. This is because Yao Ming scored 8 points alone, and it was also relying on Yao Ming to limit the Italian team. Only got 16 points!
