Junior Basketball says

Chapter 265
After the game ended, the Chinese team did not leave immediately. Deng Huade took the players to sit down in the special seats for players in the stands after dealing with the reporters, and prepared to watch another game in the same group, Russia vs. Puerto Rico.As for dinner, the staff had to go outside the venue to pack and bring it in, and everyone ate while watching the game.

Judging from paper strength, Puerto Rico is obviously better than Russia, because they are led by Barea, who currently plays for the Mavericks.Xu Hao also played against him in the NBA. Although this little guard is not tall, he is strong and very fast. He dares to fight and take action at critical moments. He is an outstanding player with a strong will.

In the World Championships, Barea played more unrestrainedly, which may be related to his status in the team.After all, when he was in Dallas, he was just a rotation player on the team, and the starting point guard was the triple-double madman Kidd. But in the Puerto Rico national team, he is the undisputed number one star, and the basketball is in his hands most of the time.

At the same time, Barea's backcourt partner Arroyo is also an NBA-level player. He played for the Heat last season and averaged 6.1 points and 3.1 assists per game.But Arroyo's state in this game was very bad. Puerto Rico could almost only rely on Barea to score alone, and Barea also played very difficult in the face of the tall Russians.

Although Puerto Rico kept the suspense of the game into the fourth quarter, it eventually lost 66 to 75 to Russia, which scored in double figures with four players.You must know that Kirilenko, the leading Russian star, did not participate in this World Championships, otherwise Puerto Rico may not have the opportunity to drag the game to the last quarter, which fully demonstrates Russia's strong strength.

But for the Chinese team, the situation in Russia and Puerto Rico is not what they need to consider for the time being. Deng Huade took them to watch this game just to let them get acquainted with their opponents in the same group.The next second game of the Chinese team is quite easy, and it can even be said that it is the easiest game for them to win in the group stage.

The match was scheduled for the next day, August 8, against Côte d'Ivoire from Africa.There are only three places in Africa in this World Championships, which are given to Tunisia, Angola and Côte d'Ivoire respectively. It can be said that the latter is at least one of the three strongest teams in Africa this year.But compared to Tunisia and Angola, Côte d'Ivoire is still slightly weaker, and there are no well-known stars in their team, as long as they are not allowed to fully bloom, they can win the game.

Therefore, Deng Huade did not arrange training on the morning of the 29th. He just asked everyone to relax and play in Cote d'Ivoire in a good mental state.In Deng Huade's view, as long as the players don't make mistakes, defeating Cote d'Ivoire is almost within reach.

But Côte d'Ivoire was obviously not reconciled to raising their hands and surrendering. Their number one star, Morogu Diabet, who played in the French League, rampaged on the field like a small tank, making two consecutive breakthrough layups.Although Yao Ming had an absolute height advantage inside, Diabate still relied on his strong strength to complete the layup.

Deng Huade couldn't help covering his face in his position. It's so shameful that Côte d'Ivoire even took the lead?If this game is unexpectedly lost, all the praise received for defeating Greece before will be turned into abuse.

The Chinese players on the field also seemed a little impatient. Fortunately, Xu Hao quickly controlled the rhythm of the game and did not let others mess around. Instead, he kept playing pick-and-roll with the inside, and then seized the opportunity to distribute the ball to Wang Shipeng and Zhou on the outside. Peng.At the beginning, their hands were still cold, but Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian continued to grab offensive rebounds in the interior, slowly warming up their hands.As the team's most accurate three-pointer, Xu Hao also added fire, and the Chinese team quickly regained the advantage.

The physical fitness of the big African brothers is actually very good, but the work on their hands is not fine enough.Diabate also has this problem. As the starting point guard of the team, he plays more like a shooting guard. It is very simple to break through and score the ball.

Xu Hao saw that Diabet's passing vision was very narrow, and he would usually only pass to the teammates closest to him.Sometimes it is clear that there is a gap in the bottom corner and the Ivorian player is already in position, but he fails to pass the ball to the appropriate position.This guy is just a fool, and in Xu Hao's opinion, there is nothing to worry about.

After helping their teammates find the touch, the Chinese team had no scruples at all, and they fired with full firepower on the court, beating the opponent 31 to 17 in the first quarter.This is no wonder that the Chinese team is not merciful. Facing such an opponent, their only idea is to get as many points as possible. In case of a smaller score, it will be easier for them to remain invincible.

In fact, the most tragic thing in this game was not Diabet, but Ramizana, who played for the CBA team, and he was also the starting center of Côte d'Ivoire.Usually he can play with ease when facing CBA insiders, but now his opponents are at the NBA level. Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian take turns to play in low post with the ball, and Ramizana has no temper at all.

The two important players, one inside and one outside, failed to perform well, and Côte d'Ivoire had no choice but to accept the fate of failure.The final score of the two sides was 93 to 75, and the Chinese team won by 18 points, completing the goal of netting points.

After the game, although Ramizana looked a bit ugly, he still came over to shake hands and hug the old CBA acquaintances, and at the same time expressed his respect and love for Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian.Seeing Côte d'Ivoire playing like this, Serial Number couldn't help worrying about their trip to the World Championships. Can they win at least one victory in the next game?

However, this issue is obviously not something he should think about. It has to be left to the head coach of the Ivory Coast men's basketball team to worry about. What Xu Hao needs to consider is their next opponent, Puerto Rico, led by Barea and Arroyo.

The good news is that this game will be held on August 8, which is also the second game of Group C on that day, which leaves a lot of rest time for the Chinese team.Although they defeated Greece and Côte d'Ivoire in a row, this is equivalent to a back-to-back. If you want to continue to move forward, you need enough rest time, and the schedule of the World Championships makes up for this well.Now Xu Hao just wants to rush to the locker room to take a shower, and then go back to the hotel room to lie down...
