against the front

Chapter 308 The Enemy Meets
"Friends from the audience, this is CCTV. The game we are broadcasting live for you today is the quarter-finals of the Turkish World Men's Basketball Championship. The Chinese basketball team played against the Spanish team. After defeating the New Zealand team, our national team equaled the best record in the history of the 96 World Championships, so starting today, every step forward they make is creating new history."

Before the start of the quarter-finals between the Huaguo Men's Basketball Team and the Spanish Men's Basketball Team, in the CCAV studio, Zhang Lili, who explained the game, made an opening speech full of sensationalism. Although the Huaguo Men's Basketball Team defeated Spain The odds are very small, but even if they lose to Spain, according to the schedule of the World Championships, there will be ranking matches from fifth to eighth, so this year's Huaguo men's basketball team is very hopeful to make history.

"Director Zhang is right. Starting today, every step we take is creating new history. But in today's game, what our national team has to face is the champion of the last World Championships and the winner of the European Championship. World Championships and World Championships double champion, the Spanish team."

"If the American men's basketball team is a well-deserved overlord and a super-class team, then the Spanish men's basketball team is the only team that can pose a threat to the dominance of the American men's basketball team. Therefore, in this game, we The national team just needs to play their own style."

Unlike the confident Zhang Lili, in front of the powerful Spanish men's basketball team, Sun Zhengping, who has always been very confident in Yan Hua, did not dare to shout the slogan that the Huaguo men's basketball team can beat Spain, because of the strength of the Spanish men's basketball team. It is really too strong. In the comparison of various positions, that is, at the center position, Yan Huaneng has an advantage, while Spain has a crushing advantage in the other positions. So for today's game, Sun Zhengping No confidence at all.

Of course, the Huaguo men's basketball team has already overfulfilled the task since the World Championships, so before the game even started, Sun Zhengping began to vaccinate the audience in front of the TV. Please play our own style and characteristics. This is also the commentator of CCAV. In the case of disparity in strength, he often uses words of self-comfort.

"Okay, Director Zhang, let's introduce the starting lineups of the two teams first." After the opening remarks, Sun Zhengping picked up the starting lineup lists of the two teams that the reporter in front of him sent back from Istanbul, and began to introduce today's starting lineups. In the first game, the starting lineups of both sides changed.

"First of all, our national team. Today's starting lineup is still center Yan Hua, power forward Yi Jianlian, small forward Sun Yue, shooting guard Wang Shipeng, and point guard Liu Wei. The above five players are the current five of our national team. These are the five strongest players in terms of position." Zhang Lili, who spoke first, introduced the starting lineup of the national team in one breath, then heaved a sigh of relief, and then turned his attention to Sun Zhengping.

"Spain, today's starters are center Marc Gasol, power forward Paul Gasol, small forward Rudy Fernandez, shooting guard Juan Carlos Navarro, point guard Ricky Rubio."

"Three of the five starters of the Spanish men's basketball team are playing in the NBA. The Gasol brothers and Rubio are the main players and core players of their respective teams, while the remaining two, Fernandez and Navarro, They have also played in the NBA, and in addition to these main players, there are Garbajosa, Calderon and other outstanding players on the Spanish bench, saying that Spain is second only to the American men's basketball team. The second strongest team in the world is not an exaggeration."

After introducing the starting lineup of the Spanish men's basketball team, Sun Zhengping lavishly praised the Spanish men's basketball team with a touch of arrogance.

"It seems that we are going to be ready to play the whole game today." Just as Zhang Lili and Sun Zhengping introduced the lineups of the two teams, the starting lineups of the two teams have already started to appear at the Istanbul Kadir-Haz Stadium After warming up, Yan Hua, who was walking on the court, glanced at the Spanish bench, his face became serious.

Although BJ and Huaguo men's basketball team were dragged into overtime by Spain two years ago, which ruined a good situation, but overall, there is still a big gap between Huaguo men's basketball team and Spain, and this This kind of gap is the gap from the inside to the outside.

If you use numbers to evaluate, in this Spanish team, there are 7 players whose strength evaluation exceeds 70, three of them exceed 80, and Pau Gasol even reached 92. This kind of overall strength can already reach the level of the NBA. The level of the mid-range teams is high, and in Huaguo, only Yan Hua and Yi Jianlian have a strength rating of over 70. Yan Hua is 95 and Yi Jianlian is 78. Except for Yan Hua who can steadily suppress Marc Gasol, the others The difference in position is very obvious.

Especially the bench lineups of the two sides. On the bench of the Huaguo men's basketball team, Wang Zhizhi, who has the highest ability value, and the Spanish team's Calderon and Garbajosa, there is still a certain gap, so in order to ensure that there is no main lineup. As soon as the substitute lineup came on, the situation collapsed immediately. Before the start of this game, Yan Hua made up his mind that he would play the whole game in this game.

Fortunately, in the international arena, a game only lasts 40 minutes, and Yan Hua didn't make much effort in the previous games, so playing for 40 minutes today is not a problem.

"Hey Paul, shouldn't you be going on vacation now?"

After the short warm-up, Yan Hua walked directly into the middle circle, and after Yan Hua walked into the middle circle, Pau Gasol, who represented Spain in the jump ball, also walked towards Yan Hua, and finally saw Yan Hua, an acquaintance, greeted the serious Pau Gasol "enthusiastically".

However, after Yan Hua's voice fell, Pau Gasol, who was expressionless, ignored Yan Hua, but frowned and looked at Yan Hua with displeasure, because what Yan Hua said just now , making Paul Gasol very upset.

When the Spanish men's basketball team was training for the World Championships, Paul Gasol expressed that he might not participate in the World Championships with the team, because the Lakers were playing in the playoffs at the time, and the goal of the Lakers was to defend the championship, so Paul Gasol Sol just wants to rest this summer after finishing the finals. After all, if the Lakers reach the finals this season, they will reach the finals for three consecutive seasons. In addition to the 08 Olympics, 09 During the European Championships in [-], during the offseason of the first two seasons, Gasol didn't have much rest at all.

But unexpectedly, the Lakers fell into the hands of the king, and ended their defending journey ahead of schedule. Paul Gasol, who was full of displeasure, made an impromptu decision to join the team in the World Championships. If he could not win the championship, he would win a World Championship So can a champion.

So now, when Spain led by Paul Gasol meets Huaguo led by Yan Hua in the World Championships, Gasol not only does not have the feeling of meeting acquaintances like Yan Hua, but feels that enemies meet, especially jealous.
