Double stars shine in Los Angeles

Chapter 118
Two days after the Chinese men's basketball team defeated the Spanish team with a score of 98 to [-], at [-]:[-] BJ time, they played the second round of the group stage against the Russian team.

The Russian team has just finished the Olympic qualifying match, and the lineup has not changed much.The Russian team's starting lineup today is center Sasha Cowan, playing for CSKA Moscow; power forward Victor Kayapa, playing for CSKA Moscow; small forward Kirilenko; shooting guard Sergei Monia, played for Dynamo Moscow; point guard Alex Sheved, played for CSKA Moscow.In Russia's roster to participate in the Olympic Games, players who played for CSKA Moscow accounted for four places.

The Chinese team's starting lineup today is center Li Yifeng, power forward Yi Jianlian, small forward Sun Yue, shooting guard Wang Shipeng, and point guard Lin Fengzhe.Yao Ming, who had a good start in the last game, was put on the bench.The head coach Deng Huade also has his own reasons for doing this. There are three big players on the field at the same time who are slow when they retreat, and Yao Ming and Li Yifeng have conflicting positions. There were many times in the last game. A question of where to go.Although they have been training together for a long time, Li Yifeng's most suitable position is the center forward position.It is obviously unrealistic for Yao Ming to play power forward. Yao Ming has always been positioned as a center forward. Besides, who has ever seen a player over [-] meters tall play a power forward? This is simply a waste of resources!Of course, there is also the fact that the Russian team has good inside strength, and Yao Ming can help the team better by playing as a substitute.

China's Li Yifeng and Russia's Sasha Cohen jump the ball in the middle circle.Li Yifeng's bounce speed and take-off height were both higher than Sasha Cowen's. He jumped the ball to win and assigned the basketball to his teammate.The game officially begins.

After Sun Yue got the basketball, he immediately handed it over to Lin Fengzhe, and he quickly wanted to run to the frontcourt.Lin Fengzhe dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, one step ahead of the arc top three-pointer and shot a three-pointer directly, "Bump! Swish!" The basketball first hit the back edge of the basket and then rebounded into the basket. The Chinese team scored first.

Kobe Bryant, who was supporting his two little brothers on the sidelines, saw Lin Fengzhe's goal and said to Pau Gasol sitting next to him, "This guy is still like this, let him start and control the ball." Quan said that the first shot always looks like this, but it is estimated that the people of the Russian team have never watched Lin Fengzhe's NBA games, otherwise they would never let him take such a long distance and let him shoot calmly."

Paul Gasol also nodded and said yes, "It can be said that our loss to the Chinese team in the last game was due to Lin Fengzhe and Li Yifeng, especially Lin Fengzhe's organization. I heard that Li Yifeng's agent has already reported to the team The management told them that they will not choose to implement the contract for next season, and hope to sign a new contract with the team. Now it depends on whether the team can keep the two of them."

The Russian attack moved quickly, with Alex Shved dribbling the ball upfield and passing it to a demanding Kirilenko.After receiving the ball, Kirilenko turned and faced Sun Yue's defense head-on, holding the ball on his waist with both hands.Sun Yue's concentration was high, and Kirilenko's level was higher than his, so he couldn't help but deal with it carelessly.

At this time, the Russian team's power forward Victor Kayapa came up to cover, and Kirilenko took the opportunity to bypass Victor Kayapa and rushed to the basket.Li Yifeng, who was sitting under the basket, saw Kirilenko rushing to his territory, and planned to teach him a big lesson.Kirilenko feinted and shot, but the basketball was slapped away by Li Yifeng as soon as he made the shot.

The first attack of the Russian team was frustrated.Wang Shipeng picked up the basketball that was thrown out by Li Yi's fan and made a fast break. In front of Wang Shipeng was Sun Yue.Russia's half was completely unguarded.Wang Shipeng first passed the basketball to Sun Yue in front, and then accelerated to run forward by himself.Sun Yue went to the basket and threw the basketball into the air, and then Wang Shipeng grabbed the basketball in the air and dunked with both hands.

The Chinese team made a five-to-zero start.Russia's second attack followed with a mid-range jumper from shooting guard Sergey Moniar about fifty degrees to the left.As the game progressed, the Russian team's defensive intensity became higher and higher, causing the Chinese team to miss three consecutive attacks and tie the score.Then Lin Fengzhe took over the ball on the offensive end and first crossed the court to the right side of the three-point line and made a turnaround shot, which caused a foul by Kirilenko who was assisting in the defense.Lin Fengzhe also hit a free throw and scored four points.Immediately afterwards, Lin Fengzhe broke through to the basket of the Russian team and scored, helping the Chinese team to lead the Russian team by four points, allowing the Chinese team to stabilize the situation again.

The Russian team was biting the score, but the Chinese team did not expand the score further. When Wang Shipeng missed a three-pointer at the buzzer, the first quarter ended, and the Chinese team temporarily led the Russian team by 23 points [-] to [-] and entered the second quarter. .

In the second quarter, the Chinese team replaced the second team headed by Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi, and the Russian team also replaced their own substitute team.Yao Ming played 8 minutes in the second quarter, scored 48 points and [-] rebounds, and his efficiency was significantly higher than the previous game.At the end of the halftime game, the Chinese team still maintained the lead in the score, with a score of [-] points to [-] points.

In the second half of the game, the starting lineups of both sides appeared again.Sun Yue of the Chinese team was activated. He made three of four outside three-pointers and scored twelve points in a single quarter. At the same time, he also sent two rebounds and a chasing block. Kirilenko, who hit the shot on his head, was revenge.

In the third quarter, the Chinese team showed super-long offensive firepower. Wang Shipeng first scored a three-pointer at the end of the third quarter, and then succeeded in an air cut layup.The Chinese team entered the final quarter leading the Russian team 73 to 64.

The Russian team launched counterattacks many times in the last quarter, but they were all suppressed by the Chinese team. When the final whistle sounded, the Chinese team defeated the Russian team with a score of 95 to 89.Yao Ming, who played as a substitute, scored a double-double of 7 points and [-] rebounds in this game, but played less than [-] minutes, showing super high efficiency.

Then on August 32, in the Chinese team's match against Australia, Lin Fengzhe went berserk in the last quarter of the game. He scored 113 points in the fourth quarter and 88 points in the game.Thanks to Lin Fengzhe's sudden outburst, the Australian team beat the Australian team by 25 points [-] to [-].

There was also a reason for Lin Fengzhe's sudden outburst.During the game, the Australian team made more and more defensive moves, but the referees often turned a blind eye to it. During Wang Zhizhi's intermission, he took off his jersey in the locker room and could see patches of bruises on his waist.In the 8th minute of the third quarter, the Australian team's substitute small forward made a malicious foul and knocked Yi Li, who was about to dunk in the air, directly out of the baseline. Yi Li will not be able to participate in the next game.

In the fourth quarter of the game, the Australian forward David Barlow took off at the basket facing Lin Fengzhe who was about to dunk, trying to give Lin Fengzhe a big hat.As a result, Lin Fengzhe was knocked out of the bottom line, hitting the basketball hoop with a muffled sound.The consequence was that David Barlow retired directly due to injury, and Lin Fengzhe had to add a free throw.According to the Australian team doctor's judgment, David Barlow's ribs may have been fractured, and the post-match examination did prove this. David Barlow had two rib fractures.

When Lin Fengzhe was interviewed after the game, a reporter from the Australian team interviewed Lin Fengzhe and asked Lin Fengzhe if he deliberately injured David Barlow to avenge Yi Li of the Chinese team.Lin Fengzhe replied coldly, "This is men's basketball, and women are not allowed to participate. I think it is more appropriate for David Barlow to participate in the women's basketball game."

On August 25, the Chinese team played against Brazil.The Chinese team made a 13-[-] start. Under Lin Fengzhe's tandem organization, the Chinese team blossomed more points. At the end of the first quarter, the Chinese team led the Brazilian team by [-] to [-] by [-] points.Sun Yue was activated again in the first quarter, scoring nine points and two rebounds in a single quarter.

In the second quarter, the second team of the Chinese team continued to suppress the Brazilian team. The cooperation of Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi, who came off the bench, completely exploded the inside line of the Brazilian team.However, with one and a half minutes left before halftime, Wang Zhizhi sprained his ankle after grabbing a rebound and was assisted off the field by his teammates. After that, he did not play. After a detailed inspection after the game, Wang Zhizhi will miss two games.

In the second half of the game, the Chinese team maintained their fiery shooting touch. In the third quarter, they directly widened the score gap to 4 points.In the fourth quarter, the main force of the Chinese team was substituted after only playing for 105 minutes, and the rest of the time was reduced to garbage time. In the end, the Chinese team beat Brazil by 92 points [-]-[-].

The Chinese team won four consecutive group matches, and their strong offensive power has attracted the attention of many media. The Chinese team is the only team other than the US team that has maintained a complete victory.

在八月六日对阵东道主英国队的比赛中，中国队继续保持着自己强势的发挥，四节比赛分别以25比18、23比14、27比17、20比15全面压制英国队，最终以95比67大胜英国队十八分。本场比赛易建联取得开赛以来最好的成绩，全场比赛得到35分十五个篮板。

So far, the Chinese team has won all five games in the group stage, qualified first in the group stage, and entered the quarterfinals!
