Chapter 138 The key battle

After a big victory over Spain, the Chinese team's next opponent is the African big brother Angola.

The two teams met twice during the warm-up match, and basically had a thorough understanding of each other's situation.

Angola has not won a single game in the group stage so far, losing to Germany and the United States respectively.

Before the game, Angola's head coach swore that he would like to qualify and win this game with the Chinese team.

However, the game process was almost one-sided, and the Chinese team completely suppressed their opponents in both the inside and outside.

The Chinese team continued the lineup of the previous game in this game, with Li Rong as the power forward.

At the beginning of the game, Li Rong continuously assisted Zhu Fangyu and Sun Yue from the outside to make three-pointers.

Then Yao Ming showed his dominance in the inside. Facing Angora's short inside, Yao Ming staged a wonderful one-handed dunk after receiving Li Rong's pass, causing the audience to keep shouting his name.

Yao Ming then performed scoring performances many times, scoring 9 points in a single quarter, helping the Chinese team gain a 30-to-15 lead in the first quarter.

The men's basketball team was very efficient in this quarter, and the team shot 10 shots.

In the second quarter, Angola quickly made a counterattack climax while Yao Ming and Li Rong were not present. The Chinese team not only made frequent mistakes during this period, but also fell to freezing point. After half a quarter, they only hit a goal in the sports game.

The format finally changed after Yao Ming reappeared. Yao first scored a "21" under the defense of three opponents, and then scored two points at the basket, saving China's 1O-point lead and entering the second half.

The Chinese team blossomed at multiple points in the third quarter, and Sun Yue made a 3-pointer first, and the Chinese team led 54-41.

Then Yao Ming was fouled while dunking and made both free throws.

Zhu Fangyu, who performed well in recent games, scored 2 points on the board, helping the team expand the gap to 17 points again.

Angola passed the ball to the inside, but Yao Ming and Li Rong blocked the basket tightly to prevent the opponent's attack.

Sun Yue then suddenly rushed to the basket and easily put two points in. Angora was forced to request a timeout.

After returning from the timeout, Angola missed the shot, and Zhu Fangyu hit a counterattack again for 3 points, and the Chinese team took a 20-point lead.

It was Angola's turn to attack and the power was cut off. The basket seemed to have been covered for them, and only scored 8 points in a single quarter.

After the third quarter, the Chinese team has established a large enough lead.

Although Angola once grabbed the score to 15 points in the fourth quarter, after Li Rong came on the court, Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian, who had been assisting the inside, scored again to more than 20 points.

The game lost its suspense, and the men's basketball team finally easily defeated Angola 86-62, winning the second group stage victory.

The fourth group stage was an important game for the Chinese team, and the opponent of this game was the German team led by Nowitzki.

The German team currently has a record of one win and two losses, ranking second to last in the group.

The Chinese team won two wins and one lost, with the same record as Spain, tied for the second in the group.

If China loses this game, its record will be tied by Germany. If it loses to Greece in the last game, it will depend on the face of others whether it can qualify.

Therefore, this game against Germany is a life-and-death battle that must be won.

Similar to the last game against Angola, the Chinese team got into shape very quickly in the first quarter. First, Zhu Fangyu from the outside shot and shot from the three-point line, and then Yao Ming scored frequently in the inside.

After several group matches, Yao Yao has almost regained his peak form. Chris Kaman, who has joined the German team, was completely suppressed by him on both offense and defense. He committed two fouls before halfway through the festival and went off the court to rest.

In this game, we can see that after Yao Ming got the ball inside, his grasp of the offensive timing has obviously reached a new level compared to the previous games. Whether it is his own offense or assisting his teammates, he seems to be at ease.

Germany's performance in the first quarter was quite weird. No one else could score except Nowitzki.

Nowitzki scored 9 points for Germany on 4 of 7 shots in this quarter, and these 9 points were all the German team's score in the first quarter.

23 to 9, the Chinese team established a double-digit lead in the first quarter.

The German team's counterattack came quickly and fiercely. As soon as the second quarter started, the German team made a mistake. Chen Jianghua held the ball and quickly advanced to fight back, but the ball was interrupted by the opponent in the confrontation.

Germany's No. 11 player Basil used his teammates to cover the fast break and counterattacked with three-pointers.

Then Wang Shipeng made a three-point shot on the offensive end. After the German team took the rebound, Basil No. 11 was in the same position again, and made a 45-degree emergency stop and three-pointer on the right.

Chen Jianghua was already prepared for this ball and almost blocked it to the opponent's fingertips.

But Basil still threw the ball into the basket before falling to the ground. Fortunately, the referee spared the Chinese team, otherwise he would be beaten 31 by his opponent.

Then the German team seemed to have suddenly opened the Ren and Du meridians. Kaman, who was troubled by fouls in the first quarter, stood up at this time and made two consecutive rebounds and tip-offs. The Chinese team's lead was chased to only 4 points in less than 4 minutes of the second game.

In desperation, Yunas had to send all the main players back and waited for the first attack. Li Rongzhi missed the mid-range shot after cover.

The German team handed the ball to Kaman at the basket again in a quick counterattack. Kaman's strong shot at the basket failed, but it caused Yao Ming's defensive foul.

Kaman then walked to the free throw line and made both free throws to catch the score of both sides to only 2 points left.

The Chinese team has not scored too much in the second quarter.

The German team not only recovered on the offensive end, but also was extremely aggressive on the defensive end, and the physical confrontation between the two sides was extremely fierce.

In particular, in order to restrict Yao Ming from the inside, the German team sent out a weird three-high lineup. In addition to Nowitzki and Kaman, there is also a 33-year-old German captain, Femorin, who is wearing No. 13.

Femorin has almost no offensive means, but he is extremely strong and has a height of 2.15 meters and has a rich defensive experience.

The German team sent Femorin to defend Yao Ming to give him more physical contact. Yao Ming consumed a lot of physical strength in this quarter on the offensive end.

In the German team's lineup, Nowitzki became a small forward and directly matched Li Rong.

After receiving the ball, Nowitzki's emergency stop shot with one foot had already been trained to the realm of transformation, and his shooting point was extremely high. Li Rong's height was much shorter than him, and he could hardly cause effective interference to him.

As for whether the ball is in or not, it depends entirely on Nowitzki's own feel.
