NBA: I am the god of basketball

Chapter 175 Winning the Dream Team Again and Winning the World Championships

On September 9rd, in the fourth round of the group stage, the Huaguo men's basketball team played against the Russian men's basketball team. Yao, as always, only played for a few minutes to show his face, and then he left the field to watch Wang Chao lead the team and the Russian men's basketball team happily. shopping.

Wang Chao's role on the field is much greater than Dayao Ke's. No matter who has watched the Huaguo men's basketball game, they can draw such a conclusion. Dayao, who has physical problems, can easily run all over the court, and Wang Chao, who has no dead ends on the offensive end and can pass the ball to assist his teammates, must be stronger.

Yao's dominance at the basket is absolute, but under FIBA ​​rules, most teams will fill the interior with big center forwards, even if Yao wants to score smoothly in the interior, it is not that simple.

Wang Chao, who is proficient in long-range three-point shooting and even has unprecedented shooting accuracy, is precisely the biggest beneficiary of FIBA's zone defense rules.

The same situation also applies to Durant on the American men's basketball team. With a height of more than 2 meters and a mid-range jumper, Durant can play like a fish in water in the international arena and play much better than James.

In the match against the Russian men's basketball team, the Huaguo men's basketball team finally won 97:84, winning four consecutive victories.

The core player of the Russian men's basketball team, Andrei Kirilenko, like many big-name players, did not participate in this World Championships, which made the Russian men's basketball team have no players to restrain Wang Chao.

But even if Kirilenko participates in the competition, the result will not change. Wang Chao is no longer the rookie who was surrounded by Kirilenko's all-round coverage in terms of technology, and Kirilenko is now feeling a bit fading. , This season, he averaged 11.9 points, 4.6 rebounds and 2.7 assists in the Jazz. The contract of up to 1782 million US dollars has been properly considered a junk contract.

The last game of the Huaguo men's basketball group stage was against the Turkish men's basketball team. This was the only game in the group stage where Dayao played more than 20 minutes, and it was also the only game that was relatively difficult.

89:86, the Huaguo men's basketball team narrowly beat the Turkish men's basketball team by 3 points in the end. The process was quite dangerous and made people sweat.

Turkey, the host of the home game, did show impressive strength in the 2010 World Championships. Except for Wang Chao at the small forward position and Dayao at the center position, the Huaguo men's basketball team was suppressed by their opponents in all other positions. Even Ah The United will not gain the upper hand in the contest with the opponent.

Fortunately, both Wang Chao and Dayao are strong enough. After playing 4 soy sauce games, Dayao has plenty of physical fitness and his touch has not been affected. He scored 23 points, 12 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 blocks.

而王超则全场火力全开，三分球14中9，爆砍46分4篮板7助攻。

Wang Chao and Dayao scored 69 points in total, accounting for 77.5% of the Huaguo men's basketball team's points.

The Huaguo men's basketball team, which defeated the Turkish men's basketball team, won all five games in the group stage and qualified for the first place in Group C.

The qualifying situation of other groups is not much different from the original historical development.

Serbia is first in Group A, the United States is first in Group B, and Lithuania is first in Group D.

As the first qualifying team in Group C, the Huaguo Men's Basketball team's opponent in the 1/8 finals is the French men's basketball team ranked fourth in Group D.

On September 9th, the Huaguo men's basketball team defeated the French men's basketball team 5:95 and successfully advanced to the quarterfinals. It quietly tied the best record in the history of the Huaguo Men's Basketball World Championships, which is the quarterfinals.

而华国男篮也并未就此止步，9月9日，1/4决赛，华国男篮91：68击败斯洛文尼亚闯入四强。

The opponent of the Huaguo men's basketball team in the semifinals is the Serbian men's basketball team, which ranks first in Group A.

Serbia is very strong. In the original history, they finally won the fourth place in the World Championships, second only to the United States, Turkey and Lithuania.

And now the team stronger than them needs one more Huaguo men's basketball team.

The Serbian men's basketball team, which emphasizes overall team writing and cooperation, has no way to deal with Wang Chao on the outside, nor can it deal with Yao, who is a pillar of the inside.

The tactic of double-teaming by the zone defense is somewhat effective against Dayao, but it is completely useless when meeting Wang Chao.

No matter how many people team up to pinch Wang Chao, he can always find a way to pass the ball out of the crowd and deliver it to the open Hua Guo men's basketball players. Even if the overall strength of the others is poor, a large number of open shots can still be hit. A lot of goals.

The final result was that the Huaguo men's basketball team defeated Serbia 88:81 and strode into the final with a record of victory. Their opponent in the final was also the old opponent of the Olympic finals, the American men's basketball team.

The American men's basketball team, like the Huaguo men's basketball team, has a record of all victories.

Durant has found his shining point in the international arena. So far, he has averaged 22.8 points per game, which is the highest scoring average in the history of the American Men's Basketball World Championships. Te scored 92 points in a single game, creating the record for the highest score in a single game at the US Men's Basketball World Championships.

But Durant, who has achieved such achievements, is not happy, and even a little bit depressed.

Because he found out, why is there such a guy as Wang Chao everywhere?
During the regular season, he stole his scoring title, and this guy actually managed to beat him in the international arena.

Before the final, Wang Chao had averaged 8 points, 28.9 rebounds and 5.8 assists per game in the 7.1 games. While the average score was much higher than him, the highest score in a single game was also higher than him. In the group match against the Turkish King Chaobian scored 46 points.

Now that the two teams have met in the final, Durant is still a little scared because the American men's basketball team has no advantage over the Chinese men's basketball team.

The current Huaguo men's basketball team retains the entire main lineup of the 08 Olympic champions. Compared with two years ago, Wang Chao's strength has improved to a higher level.

On the other hand, the American men's basketball team is full of rookies. More importantly, in terms of interior, this year's American men's basketball team has only one center, Tyson Chandler. In addition, even the power forward position can be a guest center Odom and Kevin Love.

Not to mention Wang Chao, how they will face Dayao is a very serious problem.

Tyson Chandler, as the second overall pick in the first round in 2001, almost completely matched his career with the No. 02 pick Dayao in 13. The two played against each other directly in 20 games. The shooting percentage is 8.5%. Tyson Chandler averaged 54.6 points and 9.2 rebounds per game, and his shooting percentage was 9.5%. any way.

About Dayao and Chandler, there is another anecdote. Probably in the summer of 1998, Dayao went to the United States to participate in the Nike summer camp, and met Tyson Chandler, who was in the limelight at that time.

At that time, Dayao was 17 years old and almost 18 years old, and Chandler was a 16-year-old high school student. The result of the fight between the two was that Dayao beat Chandler unilaterally. Later, Dayao said in an interview after retiring that at that time He hadn't thought of playing in the NBA yet, but the game against Chandler made him realize that this level of performance is considered to be destined to enter the NBA in the future, so he can too!
In a sense, Chandler, who was crushed by Dayao when he was young, was an important support for Dayao's decision to participate in the NBA draft.

Off topic.

The biggest mistake of the Dream Nine team was that they only chose one Tyson Chandler for the center position.

Old K wanted to play the fast-break and counterattack effect of the Dream Eight team in 08. Indeed, when facing other opponents in the World Championships, the two guards, Rose and Westbrook, rushed like lightning.

But when they encountered the Huaguo men's basketball team with a super center, such a lineup became their Achilles' heel.

On September 9, the finals of the 13 World Championships in Turkey began.

As soon as the game started, the Huaguo men's basketball team was very firm and frequently threw the ball to Dayao on the inside to attack.

Dayao, who had just played, was full of energy and was in his best form. He was able to defend against Tyson Chandler with ease, and easily used various methods to attack and score.

The collapse of the inside defense made the American men's basketball team fall into a passive position from the very beginning.

What's more terrible is that the fast break they are good at has not been used well in this game.

Wang Chao held the ball all the way, did not give the American men's basketball team any chance to double-team the ball in the frontcourt, and kept the rhythm of the game very stable, not giving the opponent a chance to play a fast break.

Once the US men's basketball team forcibly speeds up, Wang Chao will also break out from the flank in due course, cutting off the pass of the US men's basketball team during the fast break.

If the fast break and counterattack cannot be fought, the American men's basketball team can only play a positional battle with the Huaguo men's basketball team. But in this way, the martial arts of Rose and Westbrook are immediately abolished by half.

This is an international arena, Dayao can stand under the basket with peace of mind, not to mention 3 seconds, even 24 seconds is no problem.

After going around and around, the only stable scoring point that the American men's basketball team can rely on is Durant, who is good at mid-range shooting.

Durant faced Wang Chao's defense.

After several rounds of fighting, Durant was keenly aware that Wang Chao's defensive ability was almost completely different from that of the previous regular season games, and he was surprisingly difficult to deal with.

This is not surprising. The Thunder and the Magic, as Eastern and Western teams, only played against each other twice in the regular season and both of them were concentrated in the first half of the schedule. After Wang Chao started to train defense and achieved certain results, it was the first time he played against Duran. Especially head-to-head.

Throughout the first half of the game, the entire American men's basketball team played extremely uncomfortable, and the head coach, Old K, kept frowning.

The Huaguo men's basketball team is like a hedgehog in his eyes, completely speechless.

Whether it is outside or inside, there is no chance.

The other Huaguo men's basketball players are also very clear about their positioning. They all play around Wang Chao and Dayao. They basically don't attack with the ball.

At the end of the first half, the score of the two teams was 48:41. The Huaguo men's basketball team led the American men's basketball team by 7 points.

This 7-point gap is not so easy to chase in a single international basketball quarter with only 10 minutes of game time.

Entering the third quarter, the Huaguo men's basketball team began to adjust the rotation, and Dayao was replaced for a rest.

Although Tyson Chandler and Kevin Love were casually beaten inside, Dayao's weakness still exists objectively, and that is his physical fitness.

Dayao is not as strong as Shaquille O'Neal, dragging a huge body of more than 140 kilograms to run back and forth on the field, and has to take on heavy responsibilities on both ends of the offense and defense. Dayao's physical energy consumption in the first half of the game is quite large.

If it were the past, Dayao would have to bite the bullet and stay on the court even if he was physically exhausted at this time. After all, he is the pinnacle of the Huaguo men's basketball team, and whether the team can win depends entirely on his performance.

But it's different now. With Wang Chao's presence, Dayao can sit on the bench to rest and recover his physical fitness, and he will go into battle again when the game reaches the most critical moment.

Wang Chao played the full first half and played 20 minutes. His physical consumption is the largest in the Huaguo men's basketball team, but his physical fitness is well-known in the league. When he was first in the Suns, Wang Chao was famous for his ability to run. Wang Chao, who runs without the ball, can gallop all over the court and drag down any player marking him.

This is of course due to Wang Chao's natural skills as a long-distance runner. As long as the running distance on the field reaches the standard, he will recover a certain amount of physical fitness. In addition, Wang Chao's physical fitness has also been trained for many years. Step by step growth, up to now, has reached 97 points. Although the speed of progress has been very slow, it is still a rare attribute in terms of physical fitness that can be steadily increased above 90 points.

The physical fitness of 97 plus the physical bonus effect of the long-distance runner's talent, it is not a big problem for Wang Chao to play the whole game in a 40-minute game under FIBA ​​rules.

Therefore, in the third quarter of the game, Wang Chao led the team alone to compete with the US men's basketball team.

Without Dayao’s deterrence at the basket, the pressure on the American men’s basketball team plummeted. Although Ah Lian and Da Zhi were both on the court, to put it bluntly, even if the two were tied together and placed at the basket, the defensive effect would not be as good. Dayao is alone, with a height of 2 meters, even if he just stays motionless under the basket, the oppressive force is not something to talk about.

Westbrook, Rose and other defenders began to exert their strength, taking turns to use their ability to break through with the ball to bombard the inside of the Huaguo men's basketball team. A Lian and Dazhi couldn't stop them, so they could only use fouls to stop each other.

The US men's basketball team also took this opportunity to catch up with the score a little bit.

But how could it be possible for Wang Chao to sit back and watch his lead be eroded away like this?
At this time, the American men's basketball team's defense against Wang Chao has become a double-team. For the other Huaguo men's basketball players, they use the rotation defense method to make up for the open defensive loopholes caused by the double-teaming as much as possible.

That is, betting on the scoring ability and stability of other players in the Chinese men's basketball team.

One thing to say really made them bet right.

In 2010, the overall strength of the Huaguo men's basketball team was really not that good. If it weren't for Wang Chao and Dayao who led the team, let alone make it to the finals all the way, the question is whether the group stage can win the same as in the original history It's hard to tell the next game.

Winning the Olympic Games in 08 made some players in the Huaguo men's basketball team feel ecstatic, and they lost the focus and devotion they had in training.

During the training period, Dayao scolded him more than once because of this incident, but basically every time he scolded him for several days, the noise remained the same after a few days.

Inertia is definitely a major obstacle restricting the development of athletes, and this situation is not uncommon in China.

Wang Chao is too lazy to care about it, and he can't care about it. He knows very well that even if he led his team to win the Olympic Games and won countless honors in the NBA, there are still people who dislike him, or it is precisely because of his performance that they are secretly unhappy, and more players are bitter about him. It's just that I dare not show it.

He didn't come here to have a good relationship with the players of the national team, nor did he think that he could make them better by himself, and that he could join hands with Dayao to win more international awards for the Huaguo men's basketball team while he was still playing. Competition honors are good.

But now, when Wang Chao was double-teamed and passed a large number of balls to the point guard Huaguo players, their scoring efficiency was indeed not high, and their offense after receiving the ball was not decisive at all. This was originally the highest level of competition in the world , How can he hesitate after holding the ball?Even just a moment of hesitation is enough to give the opponent a chance to react and defend.

After Wang Chao found out that the benefits of passing the ball to open teammates were not high, he chose to change his style of play and first hold the ball for halftime to prevent his teammates from being intercepted by the US team before halftime.

After holding the ball for halftime, Wang Chao handed the ball to his defender, and then ran to the inside position to get the ball, which is a standard inside player's style of play.

Wang Chao's current positioning ability has reached 76. Whether it is offensive positioning or defensive rebounding, the level of positioning is not low. With the strength of 86, Wang Chao can face Durant, Iguodala, Small forward players like Danny Granger can easily get positions.

Wang Chao without the ball, of course, can no longer use double-team tactics. Even if it is a three-person double-team, Wang Chao without the ball can still find a way to get out of the crowd. Hug him so that he won't move, right?Relying on Wang Chao's speed and the 10% reverse running flexibility bonus after activating the first stage of the long-distance runner's talent, rashly double-teaming in advance will cause one to miss the other, and Wang Chao seizes the opportunity to cut to the basket.

But when Wang Chao received the pass from his teammate with his back, it was too late for the American team to go up and double-team. After receiving the ball, Wang Chao only used a very simple move, a jumper with his back behind him.

Jordan's signature skills, Wang Chao has become proficient in using them now.

The 91 back-and-back jumper ability value provides Wang Chao with a basic numerical guarantee.

With a height of 2 meters and a wingspan of 06 meters, Wang Chao's static talent is guaranteed.

The air-walking time brought by the air walk and the defensive interference reduction effect of the upgraded version of the sharpshooter make Wang Chao's fadeaway jumper as stable as Jordan himself.

No matter whether Durant or Iguodala, Rudy Gay and others are defending Wang Chao, there is no way to stop Wang Chao's attack.

After a few rounds, the U.S. team could only be forced to change their defensive strategy and find ways to press the player holding the ball to prevent the opponent from easily passing the ball to Wang Chao.

However, no matter how weak the Huaguo men's basketball players are, they are not so weak that they cannot pass the ball at all. When Wang Chao has attracted a lot of defensive attention from the opponent, he can still transfer the ball at least.

In the end, Wang Chao scored 16 points in the third quarter, and the American men's basketball team barely tied the 7-point difference in the whole quarter. The two teams entered the final fourth quarter with a tie.

Going back to the same starting line is obviously a bad result for the American men's basketball team, because Dayao was off the court for the whole third quarter, halftime, timeout of the third quarter, dead ball and free throw time, all of which add up to almost a rest There are 30 minutes.

Although Wang Chao spent a lot of time in the third quarter, with his physical fitness, it is not a big problem to continue to play the fourth quarter, and there is also Dayao who has plenty of physical fitness to share the pressure for him.

The same is true.

Dayao, who returned to the arena, seemed like a tiger descending the mountain, pulling Chandler's hair and beating him violently.

The bottom step under the basket dunks with both hands, the fantasy footsteps have a small hook from close to the distance, and the mid-range turnaround jumper.

In the first 5 minutes of the fourth quarter, Dayao scored 8% of the Huaguo men's basketball team's points and scored [-] points alone.

Not only on the offensive end, but he also gave the US team two big caps on the defensive end, turning the Hua Guo team's basket into a no-fly zone.

Now the rhythm of the American men's basketball team is completely chaotic, and they can only rely on Durant's mid-range scoring to cling to the score.

In order to defeat Wang Chao, Durant also worked hard. Having scored 21 points in the first three quarters, he continued to use his mid-range shots to help the US team score in the fourth quarter, but seeing that the team was unable to establish a score advantage, he was anxious His mentality also affected Durant, making him irrational in his offensive choices. Coupled with Wang Chao's not weak defensive containment, his offensive efficiency began to decrease.

In the last 5 minutes of the fourth quarter, Wang Chao started his final effort. First, he used the pick-and-roll cooperation with Dayao to score two consecutive three-pointers from outside the three-point line, and then broke through the basket with the ball and forcibly attacked the frame. , causing Odom's defensive foul, made 2 free throws and scored 8 points in a row.

When the last 1 minute of the game was left, the point difference between the two teams had been widened to more than 5 points again.

In order to catch up with the score, the American men's basketball team began to fight for three-pointers.

After the timeout, the US team sent a small-ball lineup of Rose, Curry, Durant, Danny Granger and Kevin Love, and the five players all shot three-pointers.

However, it is a pity that Durant is still the one who finally executes the three-point shot. After all, Durant has the best touch in this game. Can hit.

Dayao steadily protected the rebound, and immediately found Wang Chao's position and passed the ball.

Wang Chao, who caught the ball and crossed the half court, glanced at Curry not far away, and smiled slightly in his heart.

Although Curry was on the court at this time, he was completely transparent. As the fourth backup point guard after Rose, Westbrook, and Billups, he didn't have many chances to play at all. Even if he played, he didn't have the ball to attack. Chance.

Just now, Wang Chao was really worried that it was Curry who made this crucial shot. Fortunately...

After dribbling for halftime, Wang Chao cooperated with Dayao again in the pick-and-roll, and then broke through the mid-range with the ball and made a steady jumper with an emergency stop. The point difference came to 7 points.

At this time, there are only 30 seconds left in the game, and with a 7-point difference, the outcome has been decided.

Although in the next round, Billups hit a three-pointer for the American men's basketball team after calling a timeout and reorganizing, and immediately used foul tactics to send the Hua Guo team players to the free throw line, but as Liu Wei made 2 free throws, The game also completely lost suspense.

At 89:85, under the leadership of Wang Chao and Dayao, the Huaguo men's basketball team once again defeated the American dream team in the Turkey World Championships, winning the Men's Basketball World Championships championship for the first time in history!
