The current schedule of the World Championships is rather strange. The top three in Group C enter the rematch of Group F, and have three games with teams from other groups.
In the fourth game, the Chinese team defeated Russia 105-91. Yang Jian scored 52 points, 15 rebounds, 10 assists and 4 steals, overwhelming Russia's perimeter.
The Russian coach once asked small forward Andrei Kirilenko to defend Yang Jian, but the "ak47" failed and was passed over again and again.
In the fifth game, the Chinese team defeated New Zealand 121-86.
New Zealand is not weak. Parallel World finally reached the semi-finals and almost won a medal, which is the best record in the team's history. Their problem is also defense. Yang Jian scored 55 points, 8 rebounds, 8 assists and 2 steals, tearing apart the opponent.
line of defense.
Only one player, Yang Jian, has ever hit 50 consecutive times in the World Championships.
In the sixth game, the Chinese team defeated Argentina 92-89 and advanced to the top 8 with a complete victory.
This victory was very thrilling. The Chinese team had the last laugh thanks to Yang Jian's stable performance at the critical moment.
Yang Jian first assisted Zhu Fangyu to hit a three-pointer, and then hit three big jump shots in a row. The Chinese team completed the reversal after falling behind by 5 points in the last minute and a half.
Yang Jian had a meal with Argentinian shooting guard Ginobili, and they will be teammates with the Sonics in the NBA next season.
Ginobili is obviously no match for Yang Jian, but the team boss has no intention of looking down on him. Yang Jian encourages him to practice breakthroughs and three-pointers so that he can improve in the future.
The U.S. team lost to Argentina 80-87 and only qualified as third in Group F. Their performance was shocking.
The performance of the American team in the quarterfinals was even more disappointing to local fans. They lost to Spain 75-81 and missed the medal. After the game, the American team was completely reduced to a laughing stock. It was so embarrassing for a group of stars to act like this at home.
Underestimating the enemy was definitely the biggest reason why the US team lost. In addition to the reluctance of big-name stars to participate, the "Dream Five" teams in this World Championships only trained together for 11 days in total. The result of this was that the US team's tactics were extremely single.
Almost all are in isolation, and their overall free throw shooting rate is only over 60%.
In fact, it is not impossible for players to play alone, but the US team does not have a super scorer like Yang Jian. The result of sharing the shooting rights is that everyone's performance is mediocre. The players still refuse to obey anyone, and they are not qualified to be the boss.
Even veteran Reggie Miller doesn't get much respect in the team. He has the most seniority, but he is a role player every time he plays in the national team, and the team will not arrange tactics around him.
After losing, the American team still has two games to compete for fifth place. Even if they get this ranking, they have nothing to be happy about, it is too embarrassing.
The Chinese team defeated Brazil 98 to 78 and successfully advanced to the semi-finals. The Brazilian team did not have any big-name stars, so it was lucky to reach the semi-finals.
Yang Jian's mood became particularly happy. He believed that the Chinese men's basketball team could defend the title this year. Among the remaining four teams, the Chinese men's basketball team clearly has the most luxurious lineup. It will not be difficult to face Spain in the next game.
He also had a good time off the court. After dating Sakai Izumi a few times, the relationship between the two made substantial progress. The team had a day off, so the two went out for a day, and Yang Jian stayed at the Conrad Hotel in the evening.
.
Sakai Izumi gave in to him without hesitation. In fact, she also wanted to experience the feeling in the dream. The result was just like what she had dreamed about, it was indeed very passionate.
Sakai Izumi has been thinking about their relationship these days and told Yang Jian her thoughts. She wants to develop in Japan and can only meet Yang Jian occasionally.
"People you can date may not be able to last long, and people you like may not be able to date." This is her idea, and she doesn't want to get involved in Yang Jian's complicated and chaotic life in the United States.
She doesn't speak English well, and she doesn't know what to do when she meets Yang Jian's American girlfriend. She gets flustered just thinking about it. If Yang Jian hadn't been sure that her girlfriends were busy with work and wouldn't come here, she would have flown back to Japan long ago.
Yang Jian respects Sakai Izumi's choice and doesn't want to put up his pants and deny anyone. Now that she has survived and is healthy and energetic, his idea is clear and he doesn't have to force her to stay by his side.
On September 8, in a pre-match battle for fifth place, the U.S. team lost to the defeated German team in the group stage 75-87, and ultimately only finished sixth.
The state of the American players was so bad that it left people speechless. They made 1 of 15 shots from the three-point line, and the inside offense was also weak. Germany's Nowitzki played well, scoring 33 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists, and shooting 50% from the field.
American fans all supported Yang Jian and the Chinese team instead, believing that the American team was a group of star players who deserved their reputation. The head coach also became the target of fans' ridicule, which made it even more embarrassing.
Because the head coach of the US team this time is George Karl, many people thought that his coaching level was seriously overestimated. He won six championship rings by hugging Yang Jian's thigh. Now he leads the US team to this kind of performance
His performance seems to be solid.
What can George Karl do? He is also helpless. Several point guards in the team are not very fast, and none of them can advance and launch a counterattack as quickly as Yang Jian.
The guard closest to Yang Jian in terms of physical fitness is Baron Davis. This guy relies entirely on his mid- to long-range shooting, but he especially likes to shoot wildly. He has a physical advantage and does not break through. He just pulls the iron over and over again. He is simply stupid.
.
The other two point guards don't have three-pointers and are slow, and none of the shooting guards can get faster.
George Karl secretly vowed that he would never coach the national team again. Whoever wants to come will come, and the SuperSonics are comfortable.
On the same day, the Chinese men's basketball team defeated Spain 108-62, which was so easy that it was unbelievable.
Spain relies on the trident of Pau Gasol, Juan Carlos Navarro and Jose Calderon.
"Bomb" Navarro has a thin body and is not fast. He relies on his skills and shooting. He was completely outplayed against Yang Jian and only scored 3 points. Calderon's performance was equally bad and his shots were inaccurate. Yao Ming, Wang Zhizhi, and Battelle
In rotation, how can our sister-in-law have the upper hand by herself?
Yugoslavia defeated Argentina 84-77 to advance to the final.
Experts predict the game and are unanimously optimistic that the Chinese team will win the championship and successfully defend the title.
The expert's reason is simple. Yugoslavia is a team that has no fast break and relies on a lineup of big men to win. The height of the four starting players is over 205cm, and the point guard who is under 2 meters tall is not very fast.
Moreover, Yugoslavia did not have an excellent wing defense. Dejan Bodiroga, Stojakovic, and Radmanovic rotated among themselves, all of whom were big men who were good at shooting.
On September 9, the Chinese men's basketball team, led by Yang Jian, took the initiative from the start. He and Yao Ming played a wonderful combination of inside and outside, quickly widening the point difference to double digits.
Yugoslavia's starting center is veteran Divac. Whether in the NBA or the national team, Divac will be defeated when he meets Yang Jian. His athletic ability is too poor, and Yao Ming is much faster than him.
Wang Zhizhi just screened from the side and stretched out from the baseline to catch and shoot. Yao Ming stepped out of the three-point line and played a pick-and-roll with Yang Jian. This move was a big killer. When Divac was slow to change defense, Yang Jian made a one-step jumper, which was extremely accurate.
In order to prevent Yang Jian's jump shot and breakthrough, Yugoslavia had to replace Divac. Then Yao Ming screened and cut through the air to receive Yang Jian's pass without going directly for a layup, and also had the opportunity to play in the low post.
Yao Ming's height and weight advantages are huge, and he is skilled in turnaround jump shots and hook shots. He is not as good as Divac, but substitute center Zako Kabakapa, who is 211cm tall and weighs 104kg, is not Yao Ming's opponent.
In order to double-team Yang Jian, the Yugoslav team also vacated role players many times. After Li Nan, Zhu Fangyu, and Wang Zhizhi took long-range shots, the score difference between the two sides widened to 28 points in the second half.
Yugoslavia players can only rely on outside shots to chase points. Guards can't break through and centers can't hit the basket. Now the Chinese team is no longer the only one who is strong, but Yao Ming is also an All-Star.
In a parallel world, the reason why the Chinese men's basketball team cannot win is because the outside breakthrough is too poor. Liu Wei and Guo Shiqiang have difficulty dribbling the ball through half the court. With Yang Jian, the Chinese team has the strongest breakthrough among all teams, and can fight in position and counterattack quickly.
At the end of the game, 106 to 84, the Chinese team won easily and won the world championship for the third consecutive time!
