against the front

Chapter 319 Pressure
"55 points, 22 rebounds, 13 blocks, and 6 assists! In front of Yan Hua, the four major insiders of the Spanish men's basketball team are all overshadowed!"

"The single-game scoring record of the World Championships, the single-game rebound record of the World Championships, the single-game block record of the World Championships, the craziest individual performance in the history of the World Championships!"

"89 to 78, the national men's basketball team beat the defending champion Spain and broke into the semi-finals of the World Championships!"

"Legendary night, the Huaguo men's basketball team turned a historic page!"

For almost all Hua Guo fans, being able to defeat New Zealand in the first round of the knockout round and reach the quarterfinals of the World Championships is already something worth celebrating.

Not to mention that the Huaguo men's basketball team upset and eliminated the defending champion Spain men's basketball team in the next quarter-finals. After the quarter-finals between the Huaguo men's basketball team and the Spanish men's basketball team, all Huaguo fans were as excited as Chinese New Year. From Istanbul to BJ, there were wildly celebrating Huaguo fans everywhere. If you don't know, you might think The Huaguo men's basketball team won the championship of this year's World Championships.

And all kinds of media in Huaguo, whether it is sports or entertainment, the headlines of the day are all about the detailed introduction of this game. Exaggeration, even CCAV's news broadcast program used nearly 30 seconds to introduce the situation of the game.

After two days of rest, the Huaguo men's basketball team ushered in the strongest opponent in this world championship, and it is also the well-deserved big boss of the international basketball team, the US team.

Although the big-name stars of the American Basketball Association and the NBA have never paid much attention to the World Championships, even the American Men's Basketball Team, which is composed of a group of NBA second-tier stars, is a must for all teams participating in the World Championships. An almost insurmountable barrier.

In the previous 7 games, the US team averaged 27 points per game, sweeping away the decline of the previous "Dream Team" in the international arena. In the first round of the knockout round, it almost doubled the opponent Angola. .

As for the Huaguo men's basketball team, they have often played against the US team in the world arena. However, in the dozen or so matches between the two sides, the Huaguo men's basketball team has always maintained an embarrassing record of no wins. In the game, the Huaguo men's basketball team actually lost to the US team by 63 points. BJ's 31 points in the Olympic Games is already the smallest point difference between the two sides in previous matches.

Therefore, for the upcoming semi-finals, almost everyone does not think that the Huaguo men's basketball team can pose any threat to the US team. Even the Huaguo men's basketball team itself has no confidence in this game. , except for Yan Hua, Yi Jianlian and a few others, the rest of the Huaguo players are laughing and joking, extremely loose, and have no fighting spirit at all. Perhaps for them, the semi-finals are enough. No matter what you fight, finish the game early and return home early.

"Hey, Yan, I didn't expect that we would have the chance to play against each other in the World Championships."

At 9 pm on September 12th, Turkish time, after the semi-final match between Turkey and Serbia, the match between the Huaguo men's basketball team and the US men's basketball team also kicked off.

Yan Hua, who had just walked out of the locker room and was waiting in the player tunnel to play, saw many "old acquaintances" in the opposing team greeting him, especially Derrick Rose, who ran directly to Yan Hua's side, It's time to reconnect with Yan Hua.

"Derek, today I'm going to kick your ass." Yan Hua is very upset when he thinks that his teammate and good helper John Salmons will become his opponent next season, especially when he sees With Derek Rose's cheap expression, Yan Hua wanted to go up and kick him.

"Want to trick me into going to the inside to fight you one-on-one? Don't dream! If you have the ability, you come to the 1st position and see if I don't torture you to death."

Derrick Rose is in a very good mood now. On the one hand, the U.S. team that Derrick Rose belongs to is in a difficult position in this World Championships, and several teams that pose a greater threat to the U.S. team, such as Spain, Lithuania, Argentina and other teams , are also out early, so although the World Championships are not over yet, the champion of this World Championships is already in the pocket of the US team with a high probability.

On the other hand, the Chicago Bulls played by Derrick Rose have made one after another god-like deals this summer. While retaining the main lineup, the Bulls have successively recruited from the free market this summer. Carlos Boozer and John Salmons, two quasi-star players, and Derrick Rose formed a mini version of the Big Three. By the way, Richard Hamilton, one of the former Pistons Five Tigers, was also signed.

Center Joakim Noah, power forward Carlos Boozer, small forward Luol Deng, shooting guard John Salmons, point guard Derrick Rose, sixth man Richard Hamilton, to defend There is defense, there is offense, there is offense, and the bench lineup is not bad at all. This starting lineup, just thinking about it, makes Derrick Rose excited. Don't look at the Heat forming a crazy Big Three this summer. But Derrick Rose didn't look at them at all, and even couldn't wait to compete with them.

If the Miami Heat, which formed the Big Three, was the number one winner in this summer's free market, then the Chicago Bulls, who made up the Big Three with two small fish in a row, are definitely the second winner after the Heat.

And unlike the Heat who want to sign big names but don't want to pay the luxury tax, which leads to the fact that the team has no outstanding players except for the Big Three, the Bulls have a strong starting lineup and a reasonable bench. Chad Hamilton, Kyle Korver, Ty Gibson, Ronnie Brewer and these giants, so the Bulls in the new season really have a lot to do.

Seeing Yan Hua who was choked by himself and didn't speak for a long time, Derek Rose ran away with a very comfortable smile. , Derrick Rose is also sincerely happy.

But as a rookie in the same class, Derrick Rose is being compared and competed with Yan Hua all the time, especially after Yan Hua led the Kings to the finals last season and won the cup , Derrick Rose is facing even greater pressure from public opinion.

Yan Hua, who entered the league as the No. 12 pick, is now a champion, the MVP of the finals, and the best defensive player. He has added a double team. As the No. [-] pick, Derrick Rose will naturally face greater expectations.

In addition, Derrick Rose is so strong and unwilling to lag behind others, which makes Rose want to surpass Yan Hua in terms of honor and team record, because only in this way, Derrick Rose's status as the No. [-] pick, It will not be questioned.

Derrick Rose is confident to lead the Bulls to the crown. While surpassing Yan Hua, he will also create an era of his own. However, the new season will not start for a while, and the top priority now is to help the US team beat Yan Hua. The Huaguo men's basketball team led by Hua reached the final of the World Championships.
