From today on is the king

Chapter 1287 1286. Iron-Blooded Sports Car

The biggest highlight of the match between the U.S. team and the New Zealand team was the dance of demons twenty minutes before the match...

The scene of Liu Mang being signed by professional players from other countries also stole the limelight.

As for the game itself...

A huge disparity of 122 to 61 double score game, except for shouting "666" for the US team, there is really nothing to watch.

The Chinese team is in Group D with only two strong teams, China and Italy. New Zealand is in Group B, which is the weakest. Spain, Panama, Germany, New Zealand, Angola, Qatar, and Spain are the strongest in theory. The German basketball team is not considered an international first-tier team.

The lineup sent by the US team this year is Hinrich, Paul, Wade, Joe Johnson, James, Anthony, Battier, Boozer, Jamison, Howard, Bosh, Kwame Brown.

Originally, they would not be so serious about playing against New Zealand, just play casually, but the Chinese team came to watch the game, which gave them a lot of motivation and scored 122 points, second only to the highest score scored by the Chinese team in this World Championship when they played against Japan.

It may be that it was a bit too much for the New Zealand team to score only 20 points in the first half, and the US team gave up defense in the second half.

The Chinese team felt very heavy when they saw the performance of the US team on the sidelines.

Although the lineup of the U.S. team... except for Hinrich with three-pointers, Wade with mid-range shots, Anthony and Jamison with singles, Bosh and Battier with open three-pointers, everyone else is miserable. Paul can’t even get a chance to play. Larry Brown chose him and didn’t give him playing time. He only played for a while in garbage time. Joe Johnson is such a good mid-range and long-range singles player.

But the U.S. defense is great!

New Zealand is much stronger than the Japanese team. In the Asia-Australia division, their strength may not be worse than Australia. They can reach the top ten in the world all the year round. The US team defended the New Zealand team for 20 minutes in half and only scored 20 points!
Liu Mang met with Battier, the club’s new teammate today. The original relationship was because Gasol was good. Battier was very happy to play with Liu Mang. They were role players anyway. Battier averaged 14.4 points, 5.4 rebounds, 3 assists, 1.6 steals and 1 block per game in his rookie season. I am happy, I have a chance to compete for the championship, and I can play in the playoffs.

For Shane Battier, an iconic player who came out of Duke University, team honor is more important than everything else!
With Hinrich, Wade, Battier, and James on the outside, Howard and Kwame Brown on the inside, the US team's defense is a bit bombed!
Although there are still many problems with the lineup, the defense of the US team has become stronger than that of the Athens Olympics!

It is mainly due to the improvement of Wade, James, Anthony and others, as well as the addition of Battier and Hinrich, and Howard and Kwame Brown have improved a lot in their single defense.

After watching the US team's game, Liu Mang felt that the focus of his national team was not on him, but on Yao Ming's side when playing against the US team!
You have to plan well, in case you meet the US team, how to make good use of Yao Ming's advantage that may become more obvious!
As for the US team's outside line... Except for Anthony, Joe Johnson's defense is good, and Liu Mang feels that he has been targeted by the US team!
……

After watching the U.S. team’s game, the Chinese team went back to the hotel. I didn’t go to watch the Nigeria-Puerto Rico game. It was too troublesome to go to Sendai City, and I had to rush back at night. The next match between the two popular teams, the Chinese team and the U.S. team, will definitely be held at the Saitama Super Arena, the largest venue for this World Championship.

The influx of Chinese fans made the Japanese side feel uncomfortable, and they must want to sell more tickets to earn back.

Tickets for the World Series are hard to sell out. Even in Japan and South Korea, where there is a strong football atmosphere, the 2002 Football World Cup, there are cases where tickets for the underdog matchup cannot be sold out.

Anything goes, but you can't get stuck with money.

At 89 o'clock in the evening, I watched the match between Puerto Rico and Nigeria through the live broadcast. Puerto Rico beat Nigeria 81 to [-] and advanced to the quarterfinals.

This surprised the Chinese team. They thought that Puerto Rico could not win against Nigeria, but they did!
Having just played Puerto Rico in the group stage, the Chinese team has experience in dealing with it and has an advantage. Although Nigeria has the advantage in terms of team history, it is always better to play familiar games.

Instead, the match between the Italian team and the French team that started at [-] p.m. started fighting...

The French team was very upset about being picked by the Italian team. They really couldn't compare with the Italian team, and their strength was much weaker than that of Italy.

The game was full of confrontation and conflicts from the very beginning. In the second quarter, Parker, a small sports car, attacked the crotch of the opponent when the opponent snatched an offensive rebound and steal it.

If you don't fight, you will fight, if you fight, you will fight...

Every World Series has to have something to keep FIBA ​​busy.

The final result was that most of the two teams were sent out. The Italian team was a group of iron-blooded and muscular men with muscles in their heads. Only 4 people were fined, and the French team had 6 players left. 5 hit 4 on the field, and the French team came back...

The Italian team had the last laugh in the World Cup and hated the top sixteen of the World Championships.

Liu Mang saw that Parker's nose was crooked, but he seemed to be punched back and ran away. He didn't participate in the back, and the referee ignored him when he sent the player off...

The routine of this little sports car is really awesome!

In a normal duel, it is almost impossible for the French team to win Italy. Italy is one of the favorites in the semi-finals and is considered to have the opportunity to challenge the top teams in the four groups.

Eight teams from China, the United States, Spain, Argentina, Greece, Puerto Rico, France, and Turkey entered the quarterfinals!
The matchup for the quarter-finals has been confirmed. Since the three teams in Group C of the devil group enter the quarter-finals, according to the rules of the World Championships, Argentina will play against Greece, Spain will play against Turkey, and the US team will play against France.

The opponent of the Chinese team has also been confirmed. On August 8, the quarterfinals will be against Puerto Rico!
