Chapter 152 The first step of the qualifying plan is reached!
The Chinese men's basketball team, which has lost all two games, has lost 0:2. This has disappointed the majority of Chinese fans. What is disappointing is not the loss. It is normal to lose to the American team and the French team, but the Chinese basketball team has high hopes.
The fact that all the new stars stretched their hips was what really made them angry.
Wang Feng and Zhou Qi are both NBA players. Although the latter has not officially landed in the NBA, he has signed a contract with the Rockets. It is only a matter of time.
These two people, both inside and outside, will be the hope for the rise of the Chinese men's basketball team in the future, but what will be the result?
Wang Feng, who performed well in the NBA, only scored 6 points in the first game and 14 points in the second game, averaging only 10 points per game in the two games.
Zhou Qi, who has not yet signed up to the NBA but is as domineering as a devil in the CBA, performed even worse, with only 6 points and 1 rebound.
It's unbelievable that a big man of 2.17 meters only averaged 1 rebound per game in two games! This is too outrageous!
This is especially evident on the playing field.
Unlike Ah Lian who enters the inside and fights with the opponent, Zhou Qikong has a height advantage, but rarely enters the inside to fight hand-to-hand. He mostly floats on the outside. He is afraid of physical confrontation!
Fortunately, Wang Feng gave people a greater sense of disappointment and attracted more hatred, so there were not too many people who criticized Zhou Qi.
"You're lucky..."
Seeing Gong Luming with his hands on his hips, he wanted to scold loudly, but he was also a little worried that being too harsh would damage Zhou Qi's self-confidence even more. He could only patiently stress over and over again how to protect the rebound. Wang Feng felt a little unhappy in his heart.
He is just pretending, Zhou Qi is really rubbish.
In another time and space, at the 2016 Rio Olympics, the legendary devil Zhou Qi was completely pulled from the altar.
In 5 games, he averaged 5.6 points and 1.2 rebounds per game.
As a super center who has just successfully entered the NBA through the draft and is unparalleled in the domestic limelight, if you don't criticize him for 0 wins in 5 games at the Rio Olympics, who would you criticize?
As the saying goes, if you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight. This is the responsibility that every top player must bear.
Just like now, the Chinese men's basketball team is 0:2 in the group stage. Wang Feng is the one who gets the most criticism, but Zhou Qi doesn't get scolded much.
"The next game is probably the key!"
In the third round of the group stage, their opponent will be the weakest team in Group A except the Chinese men's basketball team, Venezuela.
In another time and space, without Wang Feng appearing, the score of the match between the Chinese men's basketball team and Venezuela was stalemate until the last minute. Venezuela won the game 72:68.
Now that the Chinese men's basketball team has Wang Feng, he doesn't even need to reveal all his cards. He only needs to perform at the same level as in the NBA playoffs, and it won't be difficult to defeat the opponent.
Defeating Venezuela and getting 1 win is the first step in Wang Feng's plan to qualify for the group.
The results of the other two Group A games will be a very critical second step!
If the history of this time and space had not been affected by the butterfly effect, these two games would have been equally exciting.
Serbia lost to France 75:76 by 1 point, and on the other side was Australia, which was defeated by the United States 98:88.
If the winners of these two games are the same as Wang Feng is well known, then the feasibility of continuing the plan is quite high!
In the fourth round of the group stage, Wang Feng will continue to play dead and lose this game, because Serbia’s opponent in this round is the United States. Even though the original history of the game between the two teams was extremely close, 94:91 once defeated the United States.
They were all scared into a cold sweat, but if you lose, you lose. Wang Feng doesn’t think this result will change much!
If history really changes and the American team is screwed by Serbia, then Wang Feng will admit it.
In this way, by the fifth round, the group stage score between the Chinese Men's Basketball Team and the Serbian Men's Basketball Team will be 1:5. The direct confrontation between the two teams in the final round will determine which side can enter the quarterfinals.
At that time, it was the best time for Wang Feng to truly show his talents.
Kill Serbia and reach the quarterfinals! Success or failure depends on this!
…
On August 11, the third round of Group A started as scheduled.
"Brother Lian! It's up to you!"
As the game was about to begin, Wang Feng said solemnly to the Arab League.
In this must-win game, whether you can successfully deceive others depends on whether the performance of other players in the Arab League and the Chinese men's basketball team can drag the game into a stalemate!
If that doesn't work, Wang Feng can only risk exposing his strength in advance.
At 9:30 Beijing time, the match between the Chinese men’s basketball team and Venezuela officially started.
When the players from both sides came on the stage, some spectators noticed something was wrong.
"Hey? Wait, why didn't Wang Feng start?"
In this game, the Chinese men's basketball team's starting small forward was not Wang Feng, but Zhai Xiaochuan. Wang Feng was sitting on the bench, looking a little unhappy.
"What's going on? Is it because Director Gong couldn't stand Wang Feng's poor performance and put him on the bench?"
"Shouldn't it be right? Although Wang Feng's performance is much worse than in the NBA, he still averaged 10 points per game in the two games. In the Chinese men's basketball team, he is second only to the UAE in scoring. The remaining players are still scoring.
He didn’t reach double figures, and Zhai Xiaochuan only averaged 5 points in the two games, which is not as good as Wang Feng!”
Everyone was puzzled, but they didn't know that Gong Luming's palms were already filled with sweat as he stood on the sidelines.
"I'm really crazy. I would actually do this with Wang Feng at the Olympics..."
Gong Luming was a little confused, how could Wang Feng be so eloquent that he was so attracted to him? He drew a picture of a big cake and it made him salivate.
But if you calm down and think about it carefully, what will happen if things don't develop as Wang Feng thinks?
I am afraid that some leaders from him to the Basketball Association will be affected.
Of course, the person most affected by this is probably Wang Feng himself.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Wang Feng. "I hope things will develop as you planned."
…
At the beginning of the match between the two teams, the United Arab Emirates frequently asked for the ball in singles at the beginning. They shot accurately from the outside and made hard work inside. They almost single-handedly carried the offense of the Chinese men's basketball team.
But obviously the Venezuelan side cooperated better. The two teams fought to 25:13 in the first quarter, and the Chinese men's basketball team fell behind by 12 points!
"Wang Feng, come on."
The well-informed Palace Director couldn't bear it anymore. If he continued to watch like this, he was afraid that he would have a heart attack.
"It's okay, let's wait and see in the second quarter." Wang Feng was not in a hurry. In his impression, this game was also Guo Ailun's explosive game.
Sure enough, when the game entered the second quarter, Guo Ailun suddenly broke out. He successfully took over the offensive banner of the UAE and continued to attack with the ball, helping the team quickly recover the score.
At 13:22, in the second quarter, the Chinese Men’s Basketball Team, with the cooperation of Ah Lian and Guo Ailun, stubbornly recovered the 12-point difference to 3 points!
"Sure enough! Everything is the same as the original historical process!"
Seeing this scene, Wang Feng's anxious heart finally relaxed and a smile appeared on his face.
"Very good, as long as we can keep the point difference within 5 points, we can win this game! The first step is accomplished!"
