'Epic victory'

'Chinese men's basketball team makes history'

'This competition is expected to hit the top four of the Olympic Games as the second in the group'

No one expected that the Chinese men's basketball team would eventually defeat the Spanish men's basketball team. With the existence of this victory, the Chinese men's basketball team's qualifying situation is very good, and many media are also competing to report the mental journey before and after the game. , and the Chinese team, which has the prestige of the home court, easily defeated Angola, the African powerhouse that had previously performed brilliantly in the Stankovic Cup, with a score of 8-14 and 96 points on August 75, winning two consecutive victories.

On August 8, the Chinese team will face the German men's basketball team led by Dirk Nowitzki.

At present, in the Group B group stage, the U.S. team ranks first in the group with three victories, and the Chinese team ranks second in the same group as Spain with 2 wins and 1 loss. Both the Greek men's basketball team and the Greek men's basketball team have two wins and one loss, but because of the win-loss relationship, the Greek men's basketball team ranked fourth in the group, the German men's basketball team ranked fifth in the group, and the African first brother suffered a three-game losing streak in the group stage. According to the current situation, there is a high probability that the Angola men's basketball team will not win a victory in the group stage, because they will face the Greek team tonight, and the last game will be to challenge the US men's basketball team.

The situation in Group B is not particularly clear now. The US team has already qualified ahead of schedule, and now it depends on whether they can advance with a complete victory. They want to play against the U.S. team, but in the fifth game, they will have a double-win game against Angola, with three wins and two losses. The opponents are the German men's basketball team and the Greek men's basketball team. What the Chinese team must ensure is that they can win one of these two games. Although the German men's basketball team and the Greek men's basketball team both advanced to the BJ Olympics through Olympic trials , but being able to get the top three places in many strong teams from each state to enter the Olympics also means that the two teams should not be underestimated.

The last time the German men's basketball team met was in the 2006 World Championships. At that time, the Chinese men's basketball team, which was fully equipped, was defeated by the German men's basketball team led by Dirk, and now the German men's basketball team has been defeated by Chris Kaman. Joining, the strength has been improved to a higher level. The Chinese team's victory over Spain is more or less luck. Once this game is lost, the Chinese men's basketball team will enter the situation of last stand.

Leaving aside the formal process in history, Yi Jianlian finally beat the German men's basketball team and won the top eight in the BJ Olympic Games, but that game was really difficult.

CCTV [-], and Sun Zhengping and Zhang Weiping teamed up to explain the game.

Sun Zhengping said: "Friends from the audience, let's focus our attention on the Wukesong Basketball Stadium, the upcoming Men's Basketball Group B match of the 29th Olympic Games, the match between the Chinese team and the German team, this game will determine the Chinese team Whether they can qualify ahead of schedule also determines the fate of the German men's basketball team. Their direct competitor, the Greek men's basketball team, has defeated the Angola men's basketball team in an earlier game and achieved a record of two wins and two losses. They have defeated the German men's basketball team in the two-day game. If they fail, they may be eliminated in advance. Moreover, the next match of the German men's basketball team is the Dream Eight team. Even if they miraculously win the Dream Eight team, there is no hope of qualifying. The best chance for the basketball team to qualify is to beat the Chinese men's basketball team today, and in the group stage two days later, the Greek men's basketball team beat the Chinese team, so it is a last stand for the German men's basketball team!"

Zhang Weiping echoed: "Yes, although the Chinese men's basketball team is currently ranked second in the group with 2 wins and 1 loss, once they lose today's game, they will have to fight for the Greek men's basketball team after two days. The German men's basketball team is in a desperate situation, and they will definitely go all out to fight, and the strength of the German men's basketball team is actually very strong. I also hope that the players of the Chinese men's basketball team will not relax their vigilance and play well. a match!"

For the German men's basketball team, the lineup is as follows.

4号蒂姆.奥尔布莱特、5号菲利普.兹维纳，6号斯万.舒尔茨、7号罗伯特.加雷特、8号科纳德.维索奇、9号斯特凡.哈曼，10号戴蒙德.格林、11号帕斯卡.罗勒、12号克里斯托夫.卡曼、13号帕特里克.费莫林、14号德克.诺维茨基，15号简.贾格拉。

Compared with the Spanish team where NBA players can form a starting set, only Dirk Nowitzki, Caris Kaman, and NBA undrafted and fringe Jane Jagra have NBA experience in this team. .

The Chinese team is still the same as the previous game, dispatching the starting combination of Liu Wei + Zhu Fangyu + Zhou Lin + Yi Jianlian + Yao Ming.

For the German team:
Point guard: No. 10 Dedmond Green, 29 years old, played in the German League, but was born in Texas, USA. Although he is only 185cm tall, he blocked Dwyane Green in the last World Championships. Wade's experience, outstanding physical fitness, good at projection.

Shooting guard: No. 9 Stefan Harman, 27 years old, 194cm tall, can play the 1/2 position as a guest. Harman has always played in Europe and has experience in the Italian league and the German league. His personal playing style is very good Fighting, there is a feeling of desperate Saburo.

Small Forward: No. 8 Connard Visoć, who once played for Princeton University, an Ivy League school in the NCAA Division I, is 26 years old and 203cm tall.

Power Forward: No. 14 Dirk Nowitzki.

The top star in the NBA, the MVP of the NBA regular season in the 2006-2007 season, the 214cm Dirk is not a standard power forward, but a big pitcher with a certain ability to hit the low post.Sometimes he also makes a guest appearance as a center forward.In fact, it is difficult to define Dirk's position, which increases the difficulty of defense.If he is short to defend him, he can use his height to jump shot or use his body to force him; if he is tall to defend him, he can use his solid feet to create opportunities for breakthroughs or jump shots. Now in this German men's basketball team, Dirk is absolute The core players, all tactics revolve around Dirk Nowitzki.

Center: No. 12 Chris Kaman.

Once a man with 'beautiful hair' and 'fairy air', he is now 26 years old, a center forward with a height of 213 cm and a weight of 120 kg. He is currently playing for the Los Angeles Clippers of the NBA. The German team plans to naturalize players. It is the second naturalized NBA player after Bradley. Of course, Chris Kaman's German blood is very pure. His grandparents are both German. With the persuasion of Dirk Nowitzki, he successfully joined the German men's basketball team this year. Today, Chris Kaman is the main center of the Clippers. He played 2003 games in the 6-2007 season. 2008 points and 56 rebounds season double-double performance, in addition, Chris Kaman also has a good mid-range shooting and post-up singles ability under the basket, but he is not particularly top in the NBA, but his footsteps are relatively average. Flexible, excellent defense ability, because they are in the same west, Kaman and Yao Ming have fought a lot, they are old rivals, and Kaman even dunked Yao Ming once.

In addition, in the German men's basketball team's bench lineup, Pascal Roller, the 31-year-old veteran, is worthy of the attention of the Chinese men's basketball team. Although his height is only 180cm, or even less than that, his shooting is really good. Very accurate, and the shot speed is extremely fast.

In addition, Tim Albright, who just turned 20 years old, and the 216cm center Patrick Femerin, who was a starter before Chris Kaman arrived, are all points worth paying attention to.

At the beginning of the game, in this game, Yi Jianlian replaced Yao Ming on the center line and jumped the ball with Chris Kaman, and easily won the first wave of possession.

The Chinese team is full of momentum here. Here, Liu Wei dribbled the ball to the half court. Zhou Lin stepped forward to pick and roll, creating space for Liu Wei. Liu Wei took a step inside and found Yao Ming, who was resisting Chris Kaman. Yao Ming quickly turned over and scored the first two points of the game for the team.

For the use of Yao Ming, both Jonas and his teammates on the court understand that Yao Ming needs to be fed more when his physical fitness is good. For a heavy and tall center like Yao Ming, the efficiency will be accompanied by Yao Ming. Physically exhausted and constantly declining, just like the last game against the Spanish men's basketball team, Yao Ming was a little bit powerless at the last moment.

And on the German men's basketball side, even though Chris Kaman was added, the combination of Nowitzki and Kaman is no match for the inside combination of the Spanish men's basketball team, at least for Yao Ming on the defensive end. Undoubtedly, the pressure has been reduced a lot.

The German men's basketball team is also very targeted. The first ball was given to Nowitzki. Today is the game that will test Yi Jianlian the most, because today he will defend Dirk Nowitzki. Yao Ming is even more I can’t defend Nowitzki anymore. Yi Jianlian’s defense on the first ball is very cautious. Yi Jianlian, who has practiced in the NBA for a year, can see that his muscles have grown a lot. Nowitzki originally wanted to use the low post to attack Yi Jianlian. , but chiseled a few times and found that it was not fully pushed, and gave the ball to Chris Kaman. Facing Yao Ming, who was more than ten centimeters taller than him, Kaman also moved to attack, but his layup was still interfered by Yao Ming .

Zhou Lin took the rebound and gave the ball to Liu Wei. Liu Wei found Yao Ming to pick and roll, and Yao Ming made a split to enter, but Liu Wei didn't find a chance at the first time, and gave it to Zhu Fangyu who was on the side. Zhu Fangyu tried to shoot a three-pointer One, but the ball was obviously missed, but Yi Jianlian got the offensive rebound. Unfortunately, his shot still missed, but Yao Ming grabbed the offensive rebound and hit it again!

"The Chinese team is very active in the fight. In the game against the Spanish team, although the Chinese team narrowly won in the end, in terms of rebounds, they actually lost about 10 rebounds. So, Yonas' side I also pay attention to rebounding when playing against European teams."

The 4-0 start is still very smooth.

But Dirk Nowitzki, here also quickly returned to the frontcourt to help the German team open the situation, using three-threat shooting, easy mid-range shots, as silky as Dirk Nowitzki, a 214CM Players, being able to shoot like this is really hard to guard against.

And one of Yi Jianlian's draft templates is Dirk Nowitzki. Yi Jianlian is also unambiguous. When he returns to the frontcourt and faces Dirk, he almost uses the same trick to make a shot in front of Nowitzki. middle distance.

However, after returning to his own half, Dirk Nowitzki received the ball from outside the three-point line and hit a three-pointer with an emergency stop jumper. Nowitzki exerted his strength early like this, and it can be seen how much Novitzki wanted to win the game.

The German team began to put pressure on the ball holder. Liu Wei also missed shots, and he was also on the route of defending the pass. Zhou Lin received the ball at the top of the arc, but facing Visoć’s When defending, he didn't take an offensive shot, but gave it to Liu Wei, but this time Liu Wei also had a high desire to attack. Facing the defender, he shot directly from the three-point line, and then missed it very badly.

The commentator Sun Zhengping also kept saying that he should give it to Yao Ming, he should give it to Yao Ming. In such a deep position, getting the ball is a hook goal.

Looking back, the German men's basketball team cooperated with a bottom-line ball, and Harman made a counter-basket, helping the team gain a leading advantage.

"Don't worry, don't worry, pass it a few more times!"

Coach Jonas kept shouting loudly from the sidelines.

Looking back, Yao Ming came forward to help Liu Wei as a cover, but Zhou Lin directly cut in. Yao Ming was not inside, and the inside space became much larger. Zhou Lin's cut attracted the double-teaming of the two. Zhou Lin gave Yi Jianlian who cut in from the left, and Yi Jianlian completed a dunk.

8-7, the Chinese team scored points again to stabilize the lead!
Here, when Chris Kaman was holding the ball in the low post and Dedmon Green cut in, Zhou Lin behind him judged that it was a pegboard block, and the on-site commentator cheered: "Good shot."

"Chris Kaman's offer is good, and the timing of Green's cut is also very good, but the fault is that Zhou Lin's physical talent is too good, with a height of about 208, and he has excellent bounce and good awareness. Although he is a late strike , but it can also catch up with Dedmond Green who is only 1.85 meters."

The Chinese team made another shot from the outside, but the ball went wide, but Yi Jianlian and Yao Ming grabbed offensive rebounds in succession. Yao Ming made Kaman's foul and went to the free throw line and made two free throws.

In this game, the Chinese team only started in 3 and a half minutes, but they have already grabbed 4 offensive rebounds, occupying an absolute rebounding advantage inside.

10-7!

Although Nowitzki failed to make another shot, the opponent's forward Vysocki poked the ball out. The small guard Green hit the inside again and missed a jump shot. Yao Ming took the rebound and gave it to Zhou Lin , Zhou Lin pushed forward at the same time, his eyes were six ways, and he saw Zhu Fangyu on one side, and a false pass passed to Zhu Fangyu on the other side, and Zhu Fangyu hit a three-pointer.

"This pass is good. Although Zhou Lin is tall inside, he plays outside. Moreover, he has a good sense of passing. He is a player who likes big team basketball. He has sent 2 assists in this quarter. .”

13-7!

The German men's basketball team quickly pushed back and gave it to Wysocki on one side. Wysocki used the pick-and-roll to shoot Zhou Lin. Chris Kaman's pick-and-roll is still thick, and Yao Ming just can't defend against it. Come out, no matter who hits the pick-and-roll with Chris Kaman, they need ideas to squeeze through.

13-9.

But Chris Kaman, who had just made a contribution in the last round, made a mistake in this round. Facing Yao Ming's strong attack at the basket, his defender didn't give up, and was directly caught by the referee. Foul, Chris Kaman was replaced by No. 4 Patrick Femerin because of two fouls with 55 minutes and 13 seconds left in the first quarter. Femorin is also a player with NCAA background, University of Washington A graduate of Brandon Roy's alumni.

This gentleman has been partnering with Dirk on the inside before, and the tacit understanding between them is also very good. When facing the Chinese team, his height of 216cm is not useful, and his footsteps are slightly slower, not much different from Yao Ming. .

Dirk Nowitzki holds the ball on the perimeter, and Femorin goes up for the pick-and-roll. This may be the tallest pick-and-roll combination that Zhou Lin has ever seen. It is a pick-and-roll between two players whose combined height exceeds seven feet. , but Fei Molin relied on his physical strength to push Yi Jianlian behind him. Seeing this situation, Yao Ming also went all out and rushed forward, and Yao Ming handled this round perfectly, without fouling and forcing Nowitzki Out of the ball, Nowitzki reluctantly gave the ball to Harman on one side. Harman chose to hit the inside throw, but it was obviously short. Zhou Lin took off the rebound and gave the ball to Liu Wei at the first time.

Liu Wei suppressed the tempo here, waiting for Yao Ming to come back, and when Yao Ming was in position, the ball was given to Yao Ming, Yao Ming was also very willing to back-hit Fei Molin. His hand was swollen, Yao Ming chiseled it in, and Femorin wanted to remove the chair, but the referee quickly called a foul, and Femorin also shrugged helplessly.

Back here, the Chinese team still chooses to play Yao Ming, and it is clear that the five German players in black and yellow are very afraid of Yao Ming and are ready to double-team Yao Ming at any time. Even so, Liu Wei The ball was still given to Yao Ming, and Yao Ming directly pressed Femorin to play, but this ball was a bit unlucky, Yao Ming failed to score, and the ball was taken by the German team.

After falling into the positional battle, the defensive formation of the Chinese team was a bit messy. Dedmond Green found the wrong position where Nowitzki played Zhu Fangyu, and directly killed the inside to get 2 points.

13-11，时间还剩下2分45秒，德国队那边得到的11分里面，有7分是诺维斯基得到的。

Looking back, Yao Ming still missed another hit. It can be seen that Femorin's defense is still good, and Yao Ming's physical fitness has also reached a bottleneck period. Harman's layup caused Yao Ming's foul, and Taking advantage of the dead ball stage, the two sides replaced each other with substitute lineups.

The No. 6 Swann Schulz of the German team, the 206CM striker and the No. 7 Robert Garrett, the 193CM position, were all replaced.

Generally speaking, Yao Ming will be replaced.

After Yao Ming, the Chinese team had no absolute high point inside. Harman hit the basket again, and Wang Zhizhi tried his best to block the shot, but he still couldn't stop him from scoring.

13-13!

"Now that Yao Ming is down, it's up to Zhou Lin. In the previous three games, Zhou Lin had the highest points in two games. In this game, Zhou Lin didn't score yet, but he had 2 rebounds and 2 points. The stats of assists and 2 blocks."

"Okay, the ball is in Zhou Lin's hands. The defender is the 30-year-old veteran Swan Schulz. This is a player who has been active in the Italian league all the year round. Look at his matchup with Zhou Lin. Zhou Lin Lin disguised himself, speeding up to pass him, Zhou Lin passed him!" Zhang Weiping was suddenly caught by Zhou Lin's dribble and said aloud.

Schwanz obviously couldn't keep up with Zhou Lin's footsteps, and after Zhou Lin broke through to the inside, he still didn't choose to attack by himself. Instead, he saw that Wang Zhizhi from the outside line had a chance to open up, so he passed the ball directly. Take points!

"Ok, Ok!"

Zhang Weiping said: "Zhou Lin's pass is very good. Now, although Zhou Lin is in the third position, in fact, the organizer of the positional battle is replaced by Zhou Lin. The Chinese team's 4 assists Zhou Lin occupied three times by himself."

16-13!

After Wang Zhizhi made the shot, the head coach of the German team finally remembered to call a timeout.

The Chinese team replaced Liu Wei and Chen Jianghua, Zhu Fangyu was also replaced by Sun Yue, while the German men's basketball team replaced Pascal Roller No. 180, a veteran whose height is estimated to be less than 11cm. , I'm afraid this section will be full.

Nowitzki's situation in the German men's basketball team is actually somewhat similar to Yao Ming's situation in the Chinese men's basketball team. Once Nowitzki is off the court, the opponent will lack a backbone, so in many important games, Nowitzki will play It's normal all over the place.

But in the first quarter, the German team's touch is really average, and the small guard Basil also missed the shot. Although the Chinese team's Yi Jianlian missed the shot, Zhou Lin grabbed the offensive rebound and gave it to Sun Yue who followed up. , Sun Yue succeeded in the middle distance.

The German team played the last ball under the pressure of time. In the end, No. 6 Schulz was blocked by Sun Yue and Zhou Lin at the basket to end the round. With less than 5 seconds left, Chen Jianghua rushed One, it's a pity that the layup was deformed and he didn't make it in the end.

At the end of the first quarter, the Chinese team led the German team by 18 points 13-5.

Zhou Lin personally didn't take a shot in the first quarter, but got 4 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 blocks.

For the Chinese team, the number of blocked shots also led the German men's basketball team by 4-0.

In the second quarter, the German men's basketball team replaced Chris Kaman again. Dirk Nowitzki, who played the whole quarter, also took this opportunity to take a break off the court. Replace Jane Jagra, who also entered the NBA Clippers training camp in the NCAA Division I.

The German team also knew that today's touch on the outside was mediocre, and at the moment, Yi Jianlian and Wang Zhizhi were guarding the basket, so several guards began to attack the inside again and again, and Chris Kaman, who was replaced again, was on the inside. Grabbed consecutive offensive rebounds and scored baskets.

Veteran Basil directly gave lessons to the young Chen Jianghua. After a successful steal, he directly chased for a three-pointer and stopped the Chinese team.

18-18!

Now that the second quarter has only started less than 2 minutes, Jonas still decided to let Liu Wei and Yao Ming take a break off the court. Jonas is also really optimistic about Chen Jianghua, even though the Chinese team's position is not good. It was a little messy, but Yunus still insisted on letting Chen Jianghua be on the court.

When his teammates couldn't attack, Zhou Lin also started his own personal attack. Facing the defensive pressure of Swan Schulz, Zhou Lin got rid of Schulz's defense with a bad luck, and with the help of big Zhi covered the screen and made a successful shot from outside the three-point line.

This was Zhou Lin's first shot and also his first score in this game.

"nice shot!"

Yao Ming also stood up and waved the towel for Zhou Lin. The Chinese team really needed a key scorer like Zhou Lin.

The German team chose to hit the inside line here, but Yi Jianlian took a good position. Although he did not block the old defender Basil's throw, the pressure also made Basil's throw go off track. Wang Zhizhi took the rebound With the ball, Chen Jianghua took the ball and pushed forward with great speed, while Zhou Lin also ran very fast.

"Give the ball! It's too high!" Zhang Weiping shouted.

However, Zhou Lin still touched the basketball at the highest point. Facing the defender Robert Garrett who was a bit shorter than himself, Zhou Lin completed the round with an alley-oop dunk.

The German team directly requested a timeout!

第二节比赛6分42秒，中国队这边以23-18，依旧领先5分。

Yi Jianlian jumped out and had a cathartic chest bump with Zhou Lin.

Sun Zhengping said with emotion: "Zhou Lin is amazing, and very smart. He has a high IQ. When I'm leading, I give the ball to my teammates first. When it's time to score, I can score quickly. It's amazing. This A young man who is only 21 years old."

Moreover, although the German men's basketball team called a timeout, the timeout still failed to shift the trend of the game towards the German men's basketball team. After Zhou Lin's two consecutive rounds of scoring, it can be said that he quickly attracted the attention of the German men's basketball team. Most of the German team paid attention to the defense, and Zhou Lin also paid great attention to this point. A card with the ball on the outside was directly given to Yi Jianlian for an alley.

Space is easy to go online, and it is easy to buckle in!
This is not over yet. In the next round, Sun Yue steals the ball from defender Schultz. The ball is passed to Zhou Lin in the frontcourt to follow up Wang Zhizhi. Wang Zhizhi's layup not only makes a hit, but also causes the opponent to foul. .

2+1!

28-18!

After Wang Zhizhi made an extra penalty, the score gap between the two teams came to double digits.

And Zhou Lin's assist count is still rising, now it is 6 times, and the second quarter has only been played for less than 5 minutes!
Nuo Tianwang couldn't sit still anymore, and came back a round earlier than Yao Ming. If this continues, the pit will only get bigger and bigger.

Indeed, as soon as Nowitzki came back, the German team immediately stabilized the situation. Nowitzki made a foul by the UAE inside and made two free throws.

28-20!

Yao Ming also took advantage of this round to come on stage again. Yao Ming and Zhu Fangyu replaced Yi Jianlian and Zhou Lin.

And Yao Ming, who was recharging his energy, soon once again demonstrated the power of the overlord in the interior.

After going up, he made Kaman's third foul and asked him to return to the bench to reflect, and then completed a turnaround jumper on the head of the old German center Femerin to help the team stabilize the situation.

Although the German team relied on Dirk Nowitzki's golden rooster independent mid-range and the old guard Basil's strong three-pointer to help the team survive, but the Chinese team relied on subtle cooperation to continue to win. Wang Zhizhi and Sun Yue scored, and Liu Wei, who replaced Chen Jianghua, also walked to the free throw line to score points.

周林是在第二节比赛进行到只剩下3分06秒的时候，再度登场的，此刻中国队以39-27还手握着12分的领先优势。

"The Chinese team feels like all the people are soldiers. Every player played very well. However, this is only the second quarter. Now that Zhou Lin and Ah Lian are back on the stage, I hope they can help the Chinese team to expand the score again. Some."

In the presence of Yao Ming, Zhou Lin still chooses to exist as a deputy, passing the ball and attracting firepower.

And soon he added a seventh assist to himself. At present, the team only has nine assists, and Zhou Lin has seven of them.

The Chinese team seemed to be playing more and more smoothly, while the German team was a little impatient. Nowitzki attacked twice in the low post, missed a shot once, and was cut off by Liu Wei on the other side.

45-29!The Chinese team played more and more smoothly, and the commentator in the studio also began to explain the game with ease.

"For the German team, Nowitzki is obviously feeling a little bit alone. Like the Chinese team, the German team's bench lineup is still a little shallower. This is why the German team has always been able to appear in the World Championships. In the World Cup and the Olympics, but the results can only be at the middle level, because the German team only has one Nowitzki. Although the joining of Chris Kaman has made the German team stronger inside, but the team Compared with Greece, Spain, Slovenia, Croatia and other countries, China's defense line and striker are still one level behind."

When the two commentators were still lamenting the heroic side of Nuo Tianwang's national team, an accident happened. Zhou Lin stepped on the opponent's instep when the defensive defender Harman broke through, and fell heavily on the ground. on the ground.

"Zhou Lin sprained his leg!"

The commentator and the audience all became nervous. Everyone knew what Zhou Lin meant to the Chinese team.

Now Zhou Lin has 5 points, 7 assists, 5 rebounds and 2 blocks. It can be said that Zhou Lin will account for a large proportion of the Chinese team's smooth offense today.

Yunus asked for a timeout, and Zhou Lin, supported by Du Feng and Zhang Qingpeng, returned to the locker room on one leg.

"I hope Zhou Lin's injury is not serious. Oh, it hurts to look at it. I stepped on Haman's instep just now, and the ankle joint is almost twisted at a 90° angle."

The two commentators watched the replay, and Zhou Lin's expression was solemn at the moment when he fell. Fortunately, the Chinese team still holds a 16-point lead, and the second quarter is coming to an end!
