From today on is the king

Chapter 1288 1287. Reach the semi-finals! (610 for double monthly pass)
Puerto Rico has secured the eighth place in the world again. Their players can't imagine that Italy was eliminated, and they are still playing in the quarter-finals.

Eighth in the world, contented.

Shopping with the Chinese team?
It doesn't exist, it's rare to have a second chance to play against the Chinese team, of course it is to ask Liu Mang for his autograph!

Liu Mang is great in the NBA, and the U.S. team is not without great NBA stars. On the contrary, the U.S. team is all great NBA stars. It’s just that the Puerto Rico team didn’t intuitively feel how strong Liu Mang is. Yao Ming lost to China in the group stage and easily scored 30+ in the basket.

But the US team's highest score in this World Championships is Wade's 31 points. Among other powerful stars, Battier scored the most with 27 points. He made 6 three-pointers in that game.

And Liu Mang soared 60 points in the knockout round, breaking the historical record. Although there is such a huge difference in the fact that the US team stars have multiple possessions, Liu Mang's performance is still too shocking.

The players of the Puerto Rico team don’t know if they will have the chance to play against the Chinese team again. They may not be eligible to participate in the next Olympics, or they may be retired. Taking this opportunity, they asked Liu Mang for an autograph and a group photo. Even Arroyo, the national hero of the Puerto Rico team who has a place in the NBA, came to take a photo with Liu Mang. He even bought Liu Mang’s new No. 24 jersey and came to ask for his autograph.

"Ace, write your first new jersey signature."

"why?"

"Isn't this your first new jersey signing?"

"Seems to be……"

Liu Mang felt a little flattered. It was okay to be asked to sign by New Zealand. At that time, Liu Mang was still in the sorrow of being hurt by James, and he was not the protagonist of the game. The protagonists were the US team and New Zealand.

But this time, all the opponents came to ask for autographs, Liu Mang couldn't hold back his excitement and was completely satisfied.

The game still needs to be played well. Arroyo led his teammates, trying to make something happen, at least to give the Chinese team a little trouble.

It is a pity that Yao Ming has played against Puerto Rico once, and this time he is more experienced. He can do whatever he wants in the paint, and easily scored 33 points and 37 rebounds in 8 minutes of playing.

Liu Mang resumed his pass-based style of play, allowing his teammates to find out more. He scored 15 points, 8 assists, 5 rebounds and 2 blocks, helping the Chinese team beat Puerto Rico 92-79 and advance to the semi-finals!
Yao Ming may become the second world championship scoring leader in the history of the Chinese team in this World Championship!
The last time a Chinese player won the world championship scoring title dates back to the Eighth Basketball World Championship in 70 in the 1978s.

Zhang's guidance is more ruthless. In addition to the average scoring champion in the 1978 World Championships, he also won the total scoring champion in the final team after only playing 6 games. He averaged 25.3 points per game and scored a total of 152 points. This is the record of the Chinese team in the World Championships.

However, Yao Ming has now finished six games, averaging 25.5 points per game, which has surpassed the world championship average and total scoring records of Chinese national team players kept by Director Zhang!Yao Ming scored 153 points in six games. If Nowitzki wins the first qualifying match and plays another qualifying match, he may exceed this score. Liu Mang and Yao Ming play together. Most of the time, they are players with the same No. 24. There is an epic monster with a 102 offensive rating in the international arena. Of course, give the ball to the center!Otherwise how to win the championship.

If there is a need, Liu Mang may overtake. If there is no need, Yao Ming will be the scoring champion.

However, in the game against Puerto Rico, Yao Ming forced a dunk at the last moment, raising the total score to 153 points, and was crowned No.1 in the World Championships in the history of the Chinese team.

……

"Director Zhang, your record has been broken by Dayao again." Liu Mang joked.

It was obvious that Yao Ming did it on purpose... In the end, he was double-teamed, and he swung his arm to knock the opponent away and dunked one, increasing his single-game score to 37 points.

After the match against Puerto Rico, the Chinese team had a restorative massage, and the whole team went to the National Stadium in Sendai, Japan, where they ate some nutritious meals. At [-] o'clock, the match between Spain and Turkey, they came to the sidelines to watch the match.

The opponents of the semi-finals are still uncertain, and the winners of the remaining three quarter-finals are all possible.

The last thing the Chinese team wants to encounter is Spain and Argentina. These two opponents are too difficult to fight.

Yao Ming pretended not to understand what Liu Mang said, and got up to chat with his new club teammate Pau Gasol. Zhang directed the sad eyes of the two-meter-long man... Yao Ming felt as if he had done something outrageous.

Gasol feels like this year is turning around!

Argentina is not as strong as two years ago. Although it is still very strong, it can be seen from the group stage that it does not have such a strong dominance in international competitions.

The U.S. team... had stumbles in the group stage. It had the lowest point difference among the four countries that ranked No.

As for the abuse of New Zealand in the quarter-finals...it can be easily done by changing to the other three teams that rank first in the group stage.

Gasol feels that the world champion is expected!
And the NBA career has opened a new chapter.

Looking at Yao Ming in front of him, Gasol was so excited. From now on, this is the man behind him!And, there's another strong man on the outside!Will not be bullied again!

Facing Liu Mang in the same class, Gasol can finally say that he is a strong team player!
In addition to the Chinese team, the United States, Argentina, and Greece, the three favorite teams to win the championship, also came to the scene to watch the game. Gasol brought his younger brother, ready to show his strength in front of these people!

Hedo Turkoglu, the star of the Turkish team, looked at his sister-in-law's dissatisfied posture, facing this man who is known as the strongest man in the World Championships, he really wanted to call out the iconic language of this city and tell Gasol not to approach him.

Turkoglu is very sad, he is a power forward!With a height of [-] meters, he is the second tallest player in the Turkish team. He just played against Nowitzki two days ago, and today he played against Gasol...

After the game started, the hungry sister-in-law beat Turkoglu...

The strength of the Spanish team really puts a lot of pressure on the other four favorites to win the championship!Paul - Gasol, Marc - Gasol, this combination of inside is somewhat incomprehensible, quite like the combination of Yao Ming and Gasol that the Lakers now have.

Liu Mang looked at Pau Gasol's 100 strongest FIBA ​​rules in the international arena, and it hurt so much.

But sister-in-law's younger brother, brother-in-law, is eye-catching, tough and skillful...
