Chapter 297 Advance to Top 16

Barea started to break out, he stopped picking and rolling with Ramos, faced Liu Wei's defense, and broke through resolutely.Once Liu Wei gives him a step, he shoots. The ability of an NBA player is indeed strong. Even if he is not tall enough, for him, other abilities are at the NBA level.

Ramos is still a great threat on the offensive end.Due to his existence, Yi Jianlian was firmly locked in the penalty area and could not play the advantage of assisting in defense; Wang Zhizhi was limited by his age and declining physical fitness, and the defensive end was not his strong point.As a result, the two sides were evenly matched for a while.

The head coach of the Chinese team, Deng Huade, looked a little dignified. If it is said that he led the team to defeat the Greek team, and it was expected to defeat the Côte d'Ivoire, then if he lost to Puerto Rico, which is not as strong as Greece, it does not mean that he did not lead the team to defeat Greece. How strong is the team, but is it luck or the result of players playing well on the spot?

So in the face of Puerto Rico, it must be won!

The Chinese team only led by 2 points in the first quarter!
At the beginning of the second quarter, Deng Huade still let Ying Xiong lead the rotation lineup to play.However, in this game, the players in the rotation lineup did not shoot very well, making the score between the two sides stalemate.

When Barea and Ramos returned to the court, the two teams still had a tight score.Puerto Rico's defense was far more cunning than that of Côte d'Ivoire in the previous game. The players of the Chinese team were not used to this kind of defense. They made more mistakes, which also affected the touch, and their offensive efficiency was not very high.

Deng Huade requested a timeout!His purpose of calling the timeout is firstly to make a substitution, and secondly, he is not very satisfied with the team's performance.

Back from the timeout, Liu Wei still couldn't limit Barea.Barea is more than 10 centimeters shorter than him, but his explosive power and speed are one block higher, making it difficult for him to limit his opponents.

Barea blasted from the outside and connected with Ramos on the inside, which drove the team's offense, making other players of the Puerto Rico team participate in the offense and played a lot of cooperation.

Deng Huade is also very anxious, because the team has fallen behind.It doesn't matter if you lose to the hosts Turkey, but you can't lose to Puerto Rico.This is not only about the team qualifying, but also about your own coaching performance.But the current situation is that the team lacks a person who can defend Barea.Liu Wei couldn't keep up with the speed, and the substitutes Guo Ailun and Yu Shulong were not as good as Liu Wei in terms of strength confrontation or experience.If Sun Yue is allowed to defend, the center of gravity is too high, and he will also be unable to defend.He also saw that the Puerto Rico team's perimeter core was Barea, and he was also the starting point of the offense.If you limit him, the opponent's offensive threat will not be so great.

In the second quarter of the game, due to the inability to limit Barea in the distribution method, the Chinese team gradually fell behind.At the critical moment, Ying Xiong stepped forward, communicated with Liu Wei, and began to defend Barea!

——Two teammates of the Dallas Mavericks in the new season will have an early dialogue on the stage of the World Championships!
Barea controlled the ball from a high position, faced the opponent, and said lightly: "My speed, can you keep up?"

"If you don't try it, how will you know if you can keep up?" Ying Xiong responded with a smile.

Ying Xiong defends Barea, unlike Liu Wei, he also gives a certain distance, but not as big as Liu Wei.The reason why he gives a certain distance instead of close body is very simple, because Barea is fast, and the close body is easy to pass. The reason why he gives a certain distance without fear of being shot is because he has a height of 203cm and a wingspan of 220cm.

Facing the space given by Xiangxiong, Barea really wanted to make a move a few times, but his reason told him he couldn't.Ying Xiong brought him invisible pressure, which he didn't have when facing Liu Wei.It seems that as soon as I make a shot, my opponent will block it immediately, as if it is difficult for me to score a goal even if I make a shot.

Barea decisively chose to break through!His center of gravity was already low, but when he broke through, it was even lower.His dribbling frequency is very fast, because the wingspan is not long, so the range of direction changes is not large, but the movements are clean, simple and effective.

Barea broke through to the left. His speed was very fast and his center of gravity was very low, as if he could slip through Yingxiong's armpit.

Ying Xiong didn't try to block him, because if he did, he could easily be whistled for a blocking foul. In this regard, the rules of FIBA ​​and NBA are similar.I saw that he used his excellent lateral movement to actually follow the opponent's footsteps, and used his height and wingspan to keep in front of the opponent.

The surprise in Barea's heart was beyond words.It is hard for him to imagine that a wing player with a height of more than 2 meters can keep up with him in a 1-on-1 situation.He asked himself that even if his speed was not as good as the peak Iverson, it would still be difficult for a winger to keep up with him in a 1-on-1 situation, let alone a yellow-skinned Chinese player.

After Barea rushed in, he felt the terror of being shrouded by Yingxiong. He didn't have a chance to make a move, and he didn't attract the opponent's help. In desperation, he came back out again.

On the bench of the Chinese team, the players cheered happily, which shows how embarrassing they were beaten by Barea before.The teenager Guo Ailun even shouted slogans like "Brother Xiong is awesome!", which triggered a burst of cheers from the bench.

Barea is unwilling to use the pick-and-roll because the Chinese team always double-teams himself.His speed of playing the ball is not slow, but after he played the ball under the interference of Ying Xiong, Yi Jianlian or Wang Zhizhi's 4 long arms, the rotation was also in place.

Barea was restricted by Yingxiong, which restricted the Puerto Rico team's offensive source, and the remaining more reliable offensive option was Ramos' singles in the interior.

Ramos does not have the threat of inside singles like Yao Ming, so the Chinese national team let him single Yi Jianlian, which is not efficient.On the defensive end, his movement speed and pick-and-roll defense habits are not good, and he was chased by the Chinese team.Soon, the point difference was caught up, and then overtaken.

The Chinese team overtook the score, which made the anxious and serious expressions on the faces of Deng Huade and Guo Shiqiang easier.The importance of this game is higher than the first game against Greece.Because the Puerto Rico team is the main competitor of the Chinese team to qualify for the group stage.

In the final quarter of the game, the Puerto Rico team never overturned the score.Although Barea is powerful, he is still restricted by Yingxiong. Ramos is a double-edged sword. He can protect the frame on the defensive end, but he cannot defend the outside line.But it is precisely that the strongest weapon of the Chinese national team is the outside line. Whether it is Wang Zhizhi or Yi Jianlian, they are all big men with excellent outside shots.

In the end, the Chinese team defeated the Puerto Rico team in the third game of the Turkey World Championships, ushering in a 3-game winning streak.After this game, they have already entered the top 3 of this World Championship ahead of schedule. This speed is faster than the host team Turkey.
