There are still a few days to go before the first game of the World Championships group stage. The Chinese men's basketball team is conducting adaptive training in Ankara. The players are still very relaxed. There is no specific performance target issued this time. It is regarded as a training in the international arena.

Bar!

The Basketball Association attaches great importance to this kind of training opportunity. Even though the Men's Basketball World Championships are not as good as in the past, the level is still very high. If you want to find some high-level teams to warm up, it is really difficult to find them.

Xie Kai is still looking forward to the World Championships, especially the first game. For him, this is his first appearance with the national team, which is of great significance.

During the offseason, many NBA players will choose to train. However, there are many ways to train, and training through games is one of them. In many cases, playing high-level games is more effective than ordinary personal training.

After the media day of each NBA team starts at the end of September, you will know if you have trained well this summer just by looking at your body shape. Xie Kai feels that through this World Championship, he should be able to learn a lot and be able to increase his goals.

At 21:00 on August 28, the first round of the 16th World Men's Basketball Championship started in Turkey. The Chinese men's basketball team faced the Greek men's basketball team coached by former Chinese head coach Jonas at the Ankara Stadium.

In this game, the starting lineup of the Chinese men's basketball team is: center - Wang Zhizhi, power forward - Yi Jianlian, small forward - Xie Kai, shooting guard - Sun Yue, point guard - Liu Wei.

Because of Zhu Fangyu's absence, Xie Kai took the position of small forward. For him, whether it is the two positions in the backcourt or the small forward, he has played in the NBA and is capable of both, so when the coaching staff proposed to let him

When he played small forward, he embraced it.

The starting lineup of the Greek team is: Spanoulis, Borosis, Diamantidis, Chacharis, Zisis.

For the Chinese men's new head coach Deng Huade, it would be of great significance if he could win a victory against the Greek team coached by former head coach Jonas.

The Chinese men's basketball team has played against the Greek men's basketball team 5 times in the World Series, with a record of 1 win and 4 losses. The only time they won was 24 years ago, when they defeated the opponent 112:111 in a thrilling manner.

The game 24 years ago has no reference significance for the current two sides. 24 years ago, Xie Kai was not born yet!

Because the group stage was held in a third country, there were not many fans from the two countries present. For local Turkish fans, their eyes were almost attracted by the home team and the American "Dream Nine" team. Indeed, there were not many.

How many fans came to watch a match between Greece and China.

There were only a few people in the stands of the huge stadium, which seemed a bit deserted.

At the beginning of the game, the Greek team entered the state earlier. Borosis and Zisis hit three-pointers consecutively. Their cooperation was very tacit, they screened without the ball, did a good job of blocking and cutting, and the big man could also pull out and shoot.

3 points.

The Chinese men's basketball team, relying on Wang Zhizhi's dreamy footsteps under the basket, also responded positively.

Xie Kai did not focus on offense after the start, but focused on the defensive and organizational ends. Because it was his first time to participate in an official FIBA ​​game, he was still in the adaptation period. Moreover, he did not want everyone to feel that he was arrogant.

Regardless of the team as a whole, it only knows how to score and is independent of the team's tactics.

Xie Kai knew before joining the Chinese men's basketball team that the offensive focus of this team has always been on the inside. This is also the tone of this team starting from the "Three Great Walls". Even if he is an NBA player, he will not go

Challenging this tone, even if Yao Ming did not play due to injury.

Fortunately, although the Chinese men's basketball team was caught off guard by the opponent's opening 3-point shot on the defensive end, they also performed well on the offensive end, so the score was not too far behind.

Liu Wei is physically strong and capable of dealing with European defenders, but without Yao Ming, his organizational skills will be compromised, and his outside shooting is not very stable.

Sun Yue's outside shooting was also unstable. After the start, the two got several opportunities under Xie Kai's organization, but they failed to seize them.

Xie Kai also lamented that the players of the Chinese men's basketball team are becoming more and more functional in training. Those who can organize can't shoot, and those who can shoot can't hold the ball. The big men are either the stance type at the basket or the outside shooting type, all-rounders.

Too lacking.

Halfway through the first quarter, the Chinese men's basketball team trailed its opponent by 5 points at 8:13. At this time, a substitution was made on the sidelines, and Sun Yue was replaced by Wang Shipeng.

When the Greek team attacked, Spanoulis' pass from the top of the arc was seen through by Xie Kai and he succeeded in stealing the ball!

Xie Kai counterattacked with the ball. Facing the fierce attack of Diamantidis, he dribbled past Diamantidis with a steady dribble from behind. He went straight in the middle and distributed the ball with one hand to Wang Shipeng who was following up.

Wang Shipeng caught the ball and shot a 3-pointer - there it was!

The Chinese men's basketball team narrowed the point difference to 2 points!

The bench of the Chinese men's basketball team was filled with jubilation, and coach Deng Huade also had a smile on his face. From stealing the ball to advancing to distributing the ball, everything was done perfectly, allowing the shooter Wang Shipeng who received the ball to shoot with great rhythm.

Xie Kai high-fived Wang Shipeng when he returned to defense, and the team's morale was slowly improving.

On the Greek team's side, insider Borosis' layup was blocked by the United Arab Emirates!

Ah Lian collected the ball and gave it to Liu Wei to advance.

Liu Wei is not good at pushing and counterattacking. Xie Kai discovered this during training. He found that not only Liu Wei was not good at it, but also Sun Yue, Wang Shipeng and others were not good at it.

It is a normal tactic to take advantage of the opponent's mistakes to quickly counterattack and defeat the opponent's unsteady foothold. It is a normal tactic to use more to attack less. However, when the Chinese men's basketball team has been mainly attacking inside for many years, the defender seems to have nothing to gain except lobbing the ball inside.

Field control techniques for shooting.

Originally, the characteristics of the yellow race are flexibility and agility, but if they really fall down and compete for strength and coordination, without Yao Ming, the current Chinese men's basketball team really has no advantage against the European powers.

.

Fortunately, the Chinese men's basketball team introduced him this summer!

Xie cut out from the left wing and took the initiative to ask for the ball.

Liu Wei was really worried that no one would catch the ball, so he immediately sent the ball!

Xie Kai caught the ball, faced the opponent's zone defense, made a fake breakout action, directly pulled up, and shot a 3-pointer - there it was!

The Chinese men's basketball team takes the lead! The Greek team pauses!

The dissatisfied expression on Yunus's face was in sharp contrast to Deng Huade's smiling expression.

The morale of the Chinese men's basketball team has been greatly boosted, and everyone is very happy. Just now, Xie Kai made a short-term effort, performed well on both ends of the offense and defense, and led the team to a 6-0 spurt, instantly overtaking the score.

Now the coaches and players of the Chinese men's basketball team feel that Xie Kai is better. Sometimes it is like this. When you are abusing a weak team, it doesn't feel like there is an NBA-level player in the team. It is just more abuse.

It’s just a few points. But when facing a strong team, it’s different.
