Starting from the last bus in the NBA

Chapter 437 The qualifying spot is obtained
Navarro's opportunity was not good, so he could only hand over the offensive firepower to Gasol.

The last time he tried to break through, this time, after a series of fake moves, Gasol shot the ball very simply.

The result was still no, not only that, after Yao Ming grabbed the rebound, he hit the ball extremely quickly.

Wang Hao's ball went wild and went directly to the Spanish half. Facing Jiminez's defense, he forced a layup and scored.

That is to say, the referee's whistle was a bit tight today. Otherwise, it would simply be a 2+1.

Spain's head coach Imbrada Xavi did not dare to be careless and quickly called a timeout.

Unfortunately, the effect was average, because the Spanish team made mistakes as soon as they came on the field.

Yao Ming finally received the ball inside and hit the hook before Spain's double-team arrived.

10:0
No one expected that the Chinese team would suppress the Spanish team from the beginning, directly opening the point difference to double digits.

Fortunately, the Spanish team woke up in time.

Calderon took the lead and hit a mid-range shot after the breakthrough.

Immediately afterwards, Gasol and Navarro also recovered their form one after another and both scored.

However, the Spanish team has only recovered its form, while the Chinese team has always been in good form.

Therefore, the Spanish team only ensured that the point difference would not be further widened, and had to look for opportunities to chase points.

The score difference remained at about 10 points, fluctuating continuously, and the game entered a entangled stage.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Wang Hao came off the court and rested for a few minutes, and the Spanish team quickly prepared for a counterattack.

Fortunately, the Chinese team is not a vegetarian. Battelle and Wang Zhizhi succeeded in consecutive singles inside.

Zhu Fangyu from the outside also hit a three-pointer, helping the Huaxia team still firmly maintain the lead.

When Wang Hao returned to the field, he also stepped up his offense and firmly took the lead.

45:35
At the end of the half, the Sonics still maintained a double-digit lead and were in good shape.

The Spanish team lived up to their intensity. At the beginning of the second half, they once again launched a counterattack.

Gasol and Navarro attacked continuously, one inside and one outside, and finally played the Spanish team's style.

Not only that, defensively, they also began to change and moved more.

The Chinese team's offense relies too much on catching and shooting, and its ability to independently attack is really limited.

This gives the Spanish team the opportunity to defend well, as long as there is always someone in front of the Chinese team players.

Not to mention, facing this kind of pressure really affected the choice of the Chinese team.

Wang Hao and Yao Ming did not get good opportunities, and others were disturbed and their preparations were no longer there.

Navarro hit another mid-range hit, the score difference had reached 5 points, and the Spanish team started to gain momentum.

Delharis didn't dare to be careless and quickly called a timeout.

"Wang, I need you to take more responsibility from now on, you need to control the team's offense.

There is also defense. Next, you need to defend Juan Navarro and don't give him a chance to shoot too easily. "

Harris didn't think too much and had already made arrangements. In a very simple sentence, he asked Wang Hao to solve the problem.

This is a trick used by most NBA head coaches. If you encounter trouble, leave it to the star player to solve it.

Only when the star players are unable to do anything, will they consider tactics and solve the problem through tactics.

Therefore, it is not that the Chinese team has no head coach with NBA background in its history, but the effect is not very good.

The reason is that there is no one in the Huaxia team who can solve problems for the head coach. Yao Ming is very good, but he is an insider after all.

Returning to the game, Wang Hao really stepped up his offense and chose to force a breakthrough and draw a foul.

After making two free throws, the situation of the Chinese team was somewhat stabilized and no major problems would occur.

Returning to defense, Wang Hao also began to mark Navarro.

Navarro is indeed a pitcher with a keen sense of smell and his movements are very delicate, but Wang Hao is not bad either.

Moreover, with Wang Hao's height and wingspan here, he can completely use his physical advantage to cover Navarro.

Navarro did not believe in evil and wanted to take action directly after Kabuto came out, but what was waiting for him was a blinding fire pot.

Not only that, Wang Hao rushed out immediately after landing, before Navarro even had a chance to defend.

By the time someone from the Spanish team chased him past half-court, Wang Hao had already stepped into the three-point line and jumped high!
"boom!"

A powerful and heavy tomahawk chop instantly ignited the entire venue, and the originally quiet atmosphere suddenly became lively.

There is no way, even though this is the Olympic Games, there are not a few fans watching the games now.

Not all fans here are fans of the Chinese team and the Spanish team, and the passion is naturally far from enough.

An attack, a defense, the point difference was once again widened, the Spanish team was obviously a little anxious.

And in this hurry, it is easy to make mistakes.

Sure enough, in the following games, the Spanish team gradually lost patience and began to make more mistakes.

The final result was naturally that the Chinese team seized the opportunity and continued to fight back.

Del Harris was also very sharp, sending in Yi Jianlian and Zhu Fangyu, younger and more energetic players.

With their cooperation, Wang Hao once started to fight and bombard him.

81:74
In the end, when the referee's whistle sounded, the score of the two teams was completely settled, and the Chinese team won.

The Spanish team was originally preparing for revenge, but obviously they could only continue to wait for opportunities and wait for the future.

Fortunately, this is just a group match after all, and it doesn't matter if they lose. For them, qualifying from the group is not a problem.

In this game, the Huaxia team performed well, shooting 48% from the field, nearly half of the field goal percentage.

全队10人出场10人得分进账，姚明17分8篮板，王治郅也有11分5篮板。

Of course, the most outstanding performance is still Wang Hao, with 16 points, 8 rebounds and 10 assists, a near triple-double.

It can be said that Wang Hao's existence has solved a big problem for the Chinese team.

Organizing attacks, breakthroughs, defense...anything that can't be handled can be left to Wang Hao.

The Chinese team defeated Spain, which is not a big news for the world basketball world.

After all, Asian basketball is really inconspicuous, not to mention compared to the United States, but also compared to European basketball.

However, when Wang Hao read the newspaper the next morning, he saw little relevant news.

Well, the main reason is that he reads English newspapers, and there are no domestic newspapers here.

Compared with the Chinese team's victory over Spain, the real big news happened yesterday.

The United States team, known as the Dream Team, actually lost to Puerto Rico in the first game.

Puerto Rico, which has several NBA players, is not a weak team, but defeating the US team is still unimaginable.

It can be said that the entire sports world was shocked.

During breakfast, the Chinese team also got together to chat. Compared to two years ago, they lost to the American team.

Otherwise, there is every chance of competing for the gold medal.

Of course, it was just a casual chat. In fact, no one cared. After all, they had more important games.

Tomorrow, the Chinese team will usher in the second game of the Olympic group stage, and the opponent is New Zealand.

The New Zealand team can be said to be the bottom team in this group, precisely because the Chinese team must win.It's also true that New Zealand didn't struggle too much.

80:72
Another solid victory, the Chinese team won its second victory in this Olympic Games.

The Chinese team, which has already won two games, can basically say that it has basically obtained a place to advance.

However, what needs to be determined now is where they will advance in the group.

To be honest, Wang Hao was a little hesitant about whether to strive for first place in the group. The Chinese team had every chance.

However, he was a little uncertain.

He remembers clearly that as the famous Waterloo in the history of the American Dream Team, the American team played very hard in the Athens Olympics.

They lost consecutively in the group stage, and in the end they only finished fourth in the group.

In other words, the Chinese team's No. 1 opponent in the quarterfinals is likely to be the American team.

To be honest, the U.S. team is in very bad shape, but no one dares to completely underestimate them.

Just like in the original time and space, in the quarter-finals, everyone thought that Spain, which was in good condition, would win.

But in the end, Marbury's mental knife broke out and killed the Spanish team.

If he had a choice, he didn't want to gamble.

The second place in the group, or the third place in the group, are actually very good choices.

Of course, this is just what Wang Hao thinks about in private and operates within a certain level.

He doesn't want to be stupid and ask the whole team to do this, or he will shoot himself in the foot.

Next, it's time to face Italy, the bronze medalist at last year's European Basketball Championship.

It was the Spanish team that eliminated them at that time.

Although the Chinese team just defeated the Spanish team, it is not necessarily a guaranteed win.

Wang Hao did not think randomly, but devoted himself to the game.

I have to say that although Italy does not have NBA stars, the Italian basketball league is also very good.

Italy, composed of Italian league stars, has completely inherited the style of European basketball.

The technical movements are solid and physical confrontation is emphasized. More importantly, everyone is very comprehensive.

Whether inside or outside, Italian players seem to be able to pass and shoot.

Coupled with their technical and tactical play, constantly moving the ball, it really put the Chinese team's defense through a severe test.

What's even more terrible is that Italy's three-point shooting is hot today, and they really brought in Italian guns.

More importantly, almost everyone on the Italian team can shoot three-pointers, which makes things difficult for the Chinese team.

Don't look at Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi. To put it nicely, they can be extended beyond the three-point line.

But the problem is, this only refers to the attack range of the two people.

It is absolutely impossible for the two of them to move from the inside to the outside and then shrink back when they are defending.

This also leads to the continuous harvest of Italian artillery today.

83:83
There was only 1 minute and 28 seconds left before the end of the game, and the two sides still maintained a tie.

Wang Hao held the ball in a high position, and all four players of the Huaxia team settled down, giving him enough space.

The Italian player standing in front of Wang Hao is called Mian. Like most European basketball players, he is strong in confrontation but slow.

Wang Hao was not polite, and his feet suddenly exploded with extremely amazing speed, directly passing Mian completely.

FIBA does not have a three-second defense. There is always someone standing under the basket.

Mil Sheng is a tough guy inside with a height of 208 centimeters, and he is strong enough in physical confrontation.

However, Wang Hao didn't hesitate at all and went straight to the basket.

He even dares to hit the basket guarded by Yao Ming and O'Neal, not to mention, he is just an inside man with a height of less than 210 centimeters.

Wang Hao jumped up high and collided directly with Zhaer Sheng in mid-air. Under the huge impact, his body did not deform.

The moment his body fell, he gently tossed the basketball in his hand, and the basketball flew towards the basket.

Zhaersheng was obviously anxious and stretched out his arm, trying to interfere with Wang Hao's attack.

However, due to his lack of height, even if he stretched his arm as hard as he could, he could only hit Wang Hao's arm.

"Di!"

Naturally, it was impossible for the referee to turn a deaf ear to such an obvious foul, and the whistle sounded immediately.

At the same time, the basketball swayed on the basket twice, and finally fell firmly into the basket.

"Oh no,……"

Immediately afterwards there was another large paragraph of unintelligible words, and Zhai Sheng was already speaking Italian anxiously.

Unfortunately, the referee has already made a penalty and cannot change it.

"Good job, Wang Hao!"

"Good shot, Wang Hao, you are so awesome."

……

The score was 2+1 at the critical moment. Not only the fans at the scene but also in front of the TV were completely excited.

Italy did not dare to be careless and quickly called a timeout, followed by a tight tactical arrangement.

The Chinese team did not waste any time and immediately made substitutions. Yi Jianlian and Yao Ming were replaced on the inside, and Zhang Yunsong replaced Li Nan.

Defense at critical moments is crucial.

The game started again, and sure enough, Italy still insisted on their three-point shooting tactics.

Constantly looking for opportunities in the process, but this time, the players of the Chinese team tried their best to follow.

The final opportunity still appeared in the hands of Jarland, but this time, Wang Hao came up.

Facing Wang Hao's defense head-on, Jarland took a forced shot, and the hit rate obviously couldn't be too high.

"when!"

The basketball bounced out of the frame, and Wang Hao suddenly saw that Yi Jianlian had a good chance to grab the rebound, and he immediately started.

Yi Jianlian protected the rebound, and when he saw Wang Hao as soon as he left, he threw the basketball over.

At this time, Italy also had players targeting Wang Hao and tried its best to limit his offense.

However, Wang Hao, who was pushing forward with all his strength, threw the basketball into the air with a single flick without looking behind him.

A figure suddenly rushed up, jumped high, grabbed the basketball tightly, and then smashed it into the basket.

Who else could be there besides Yi Jianlian? This has almost become his main way of scoring in this national team.

88:83
With only 48 seconds left in the game, Italy was completely on the edge of the cliff and had to find a way to score first.

However, the three-point shot that had always been invincible before was stalled at this time, and the Italian artillery was no longer working.

Italy could only stubbornly grasp the last straw and use foul tactics, but Wang Hao did not give him any chance.

90:85
The Chinese team continued to win and firmly secured a qualifying spot in the group.
