against the front

Chapter 333 The Dust Settles
On September 2010, 9, BJ time zero o'clock, after the 13th and 5th qualifying match between Spain and Argentina, the Huaguo Men's Basketball team ushered in their last game in this World Championships, that is, with The Serbian men's basketball team competes for the No.6 game.

The predecessor of the Serbian men's basketball team, the Yugoslav men's basketball team, was once the well-deserved overlord of the World Championships. The former Yugoslavia men's basketball team has reached the finals of the World Championships seven times, and had the last laugh five times, lifting the championship trophy.

However, with the dramatic changes in the world structure, Yugoslavia experienced three disintegrations in 1991, 2003 and 2006. Affected by this, the Serbian men's basketball team has also experienced ups and downs in the past ten years, but even so, the Serbian men's basketball team is still a team. It is a powerful team that cannot be ignored. The champions of the 98 Greek Men's Basketball World Championships and the 02 Indianapolis World Championships are the best proof.

In this World Championships, the newly born Serbian men's basketball team made a comeback again and reached the semi-finals all the way. However, in the semi-finals with the host Turkey, the Serbian men's basketball team led by three quarters, and finally fell behind by 1 point. Lost to host Turkey.

The last official match between the Huaguo men's basketball team and Serbia dates back to the Athens Olympics in 04. At that time, Serbia was still called Serbia and Montenegro. On the verge of war and division, many big-name players refused to be called up to the national team. In the end, the Huaguo men's basketball team defeated the Serbian and Montenegro men's basketball team, which was the weakest in history, 67 to 66.

That game was too long ago, and the current Serbian men's basketball team is no longer what it used to be, so the result of that game is not of any reference. As for the warm-up match, there is no need for reference. , Therefore, for the Huaguo Men's Basketball Team and the Serbia Men's Basketball Team, the opponent is undoubtedly a very strange opponent.

If there is no direct match record, it can only be used as an indirect reference. The Huaguo men's basketball team played against the host Turkey in the group match and lost by nearly 20 points without any resistance. In the semi-finals between Serbia and Turkey, if the referee did not play the key role In the fourth quarter, the Serbian men's basketball team blew up fouls. The Serbian men's basketball team was able to eliminate Turkey and join the US men's basketball team in the final.

But even so, Serbia only lost 1 point to Turkey. Therefore, psychologically, the players of the Serbian men's basketball team feel that they have an advantage in this game. Of course, even in terms of strength, the Serbian men's basketball team Up and down don't think the Huaguo men's basketball team will be better than themselves.

Therefore, at the beginning of this game, the Serbian men's basketball team, with a great psychological advantage, launched a fierce offensive against the Huaguo men's basketball team, intending to completely defeat the Huaguo men's basketball team with a wave of indiscriminate bombing, so as to win The game had the upper hand, and even ended the game with ease.

However, after only 2 minutes in the first quarter, the head coach of the Serbian men's basketball team, Sasha Djokovic, quickly called a timeout, because the game in less than 2 minutes had completely overwhelmed Sasha Djokovic. Tivic woke up.

The two interior towers that the Serbian men's basketball team is proud of, Pilovic and Nemanja Bjelica, have no sense of presence on the court, and both offensive and defensive ends are completely suppressed by the two inside lines of the Huaguo men's basketball team , and Teodosic, who is the team commander and the core of the backcourt, failed to gain any advantage when facing the Huaguo defender who was more than ten centimeters shorter than him.

But not to mention that after experiencing the knockout match with Spain, especially the semi-finals of the American men's basketball team, the mentality of the Huaguo men's basketball team has undergone a qualitative change. Huaguo players have no awareness of the weak at all, as if what they are facing now is the weakest Serbian men's basketball team in history six years ago.

In the first round of the game, Liu Wei passed the pick-and-roll with Yan Hua, hit a jumper near the three-point line, and then returned to the defensive end. Yan Hua used a big hat to teach Pilovic to be a man, and picked up the basketball. Wang Shipeng directly launched a fast break, and staged a nearly perfect frontcourt two-on-one cooperation with Sun Yue. As for the round before the timeout, Yan Hua and Yi Jianlian grabbed offensive rebounds, and finally Wang Shipeng made a three-pointer from the bottom corner. The Huaguo men's basketball team played a fantastic 7-0 start.

At the beginning of the game, the Serbian men's basketball team, which was still planning to play an advantage at the beginning, was directly beaten by the Huaguo men's basketball team, step by step. Although it quickly reacted, it was very difficult to understand the tactics and players on the field. After making adjustments, the Serbian men's basketball team still had no way to recover the disadvantages on the field in a short period of time. By the end of the first quarter, the Serbian men's basketball team had fallen behind the Huaguo men's basketball team by as much as 9 points.

The resilient Serbian men's basketball team launched a fierce counterattack after the start of the second quarter, closing the point difference to only 3 points. However, after the main players of the Huaguo men's basketball team reappeared in the second half of the second quarter , The counterattack momentum of the Serbian men's basketball team came to an abrupt end.

After the start of the extremely critical third quarter, Yan Hua, who hadn't shown much offensive performance throughout the first half, suddenly exploded and attacked the inside line continuously. In just 3 minutes, he scored 11 points in a row. With Yan Hua's 22 points in a single quarter, the Huaguo men's basketball team beat the Serbian men's basketball team 29 to 16 in the third quarter, establishing a 17-point lead in one fell swoop.

This time, the Huaguo men's basketball team did not repeat the mistakes of two years ago, and kept the lead until the end. Finally, they defeated Serbia with a score of 97 to 82, which once again refreshed the best record in the history of the Huaguo men's basketball team. No. The final record of 3 is enough to make them feel proud and proud for the Huaguo men's basketball team, which had the highest goal before the game and only qualified for the group, and the supporters of the Huaguo men's basketball team.

After the end of the third and fourth rankings, the highlight of this World Championships, the final battle between the host Turkey and the US team kicked off. Not surprisingly, Turkey, as the host, did not create any difficulties for the US team. After the end of the first game, there is basically no suspense about who will be the champion of this year's World Championships.

After easily defeating the host Turkey, the U.S. men's basketball team won the championship with a proud record of nine games.
