Chapter 439

The German men's basketball team is recognized as a strong team in the world, and they have been ranked among the top ten in the world for a long time.

The Chinese men's basketball team had played against the German men's basketball team 12 times before, with a record of 2 wins and 10 losses. Since August 3, 2003, they defeated Germany 92 to 90 in the warm-up match, and lost all five times in four years. The upcoming game is the first time the two teams have met in Olympic history.

The German men's basketball team once won the European Basketball Championship in 1993. After entering the 21st century, the German men's basketball team also won the bronze medal in the 2002 Basketball World Championship and the 2005 Basketball European Championship.

However, the performance of the German men's basketball team in the Olympics has been poor, and the best result of the German men's basketball team in the Olympics was only seventh. But now, although the German men's basketball team has an NBA superstar like Nowitzki this year, it is not very strong. If the German team is divided into Group A during the Olympic Games, Germany still has There is a great hope to qualify, but Germany was placed in Group B of the death group. In this group, except for the weakest Angola team, the German team has no advantage against other teams. When they meet the US team, they will be defeated. Hang and beat.

The head coach of the German men's basketball team Stowe has a serious face, obviously the upcoming "life and death battle" has put a lot of pressure on him.

Kaman is no match for Dayao in the NBA, and Nowitzki has to face the round-robin battle between the Arab League and the general. Although the Arab League is a rookie in the NBA, the general has been away from the NBA for many years, but the two have played in the NBA anyway. People, compared to those second- and third-rate power forwards, must be on a higher level.

This is also a headache for the head coach of the German team Stowe. The inside line he relies on does not have an advantage in front of the Chinese team, maybe it is a 50-50 split.

If the German team and the Chinese team play at a 50-50 split, then the final loser must be the German team, because the Chinese team is playing at home. Perhaps a referee's home whistle at a critical time can make the German team lose the game.

"Today's game is very important to us, and it is also very important to the Chinese team. Whoever wins between our two teams will get the right to qualify for the group stage. On the contrary, if whoever loses the game, I am afraid that they will be eliminated from the group stage." Eliminated." Stowe paused, and then said: "So we must win!"

"Before I came to China, I have already analyzed the Chinese team with everyone. Besides Dayao, they also have two excellent big men. Our inside line is not dominant in front of the Chinese team. But come After arriving in China, we encountered another unexpected situation. That is Zhang Guan!"

When Stowe said this, he looked at the expressions of the players in the German team. Some were calm, some were surprised, some were nervous, and some were disdainful.

"I think we have all seen the Chinese team's victory over the Spanish team before. Zhang Guan's two fatal breakthroughs at the last moment were the key to defeating the Spanish team. Without Zhang Guan's last two breakthroughs, the Chinese team would have been very difficult. Could go to overtime and lose the game."

"I know some of you may think that it's just two breakthroughs. It's nothing special. We have strong inside players who can protect our basket. If Zhang Guan dares to break through, he will be blocked by us. But don't forget Yes, the Spanish team also has the Gasol brothers. Pau Gasol is also an All-Star player in the NBA, and Marc Gasol just won the MVP of the Spanish League. Do you understand?" Coach Stowe continued to look at the crowd after speaking, and this time, those who were originally disdainful also showed a dignified expression.

Among the basketball professional leagues in European countries, the Spanish league is undoubtedly the strongest in terms of comprehensive strength. Others such as the Greek League, Lithuanian League, Russian League, Italian League, and Serbian League are also very strong. The ranking is around ten, and even the basketball league in Turkey may be better than the basketball league in Germany.

The MVP of the Spanish League won by Marc Gasol is of course a gold-rich honor. In terms of internal strength, Spain is also very strong, and the internal equipment of Spain and Germany is very similar. They are both a traditional center and a power forward with shooting ability. Maybe Gasol is not as good as Nowitzki. Gasol is not as good as Kaman, but one thing is certain is that Spain's inside line cannot guard against Zhang Guan, and Germany's inside line may not be able to guard against Zhang Guan.

Just listen to coach Stowe then say: "Currently we only have this short video about Zhang Guan, and only these two breakthroughs. In the last game against Angola, Zhang Guan did not play, so we think Zhang Guan may It is the secret weapon in the hands of the Chinese team. There is still too little information about Zhang Guan in our hands. The only thing we know is that Zhang Guan is very fast and has strong physical resistance. As for other aspects of Zhang Guan, we have nothing Yes. So if Zhang Guan plays, we must focus on marking him!"

...

Zhang Guan didn't know that he had been regarded as the focus of attention by the German team. In his memory, the Chinese team still won this game, but the final victory was a bit uncertain.

If Zhang Guan plays, it will certainly help the national team to win more easily, but coach Yunus still doesn't want to expose Zhang Guan's ability too much. After all, the Chinese team will face the knockout round in the future. The crown can become the surprise soldier of the Chinese team in the knockout round.

So at the beginning of the game, Zhang Guan was still placed on the bench.

Zhang Guan did not play in the last game against Angola, which instead made more fans look forward to Zhang Guan's performance. The Angolan team is at the bottom of the team, and fans can understand if Zhang Guan does not play. Today, facing the strong German team, it is a life-and-death battle for the men's basketball team. Therefore, many people thought before the game that Zhang Guan would definitely play.

At the start of the game, Dayao scored 4 points in a row, Nowitzki hit a jumper, and it was 2-4. The UAE scored 2 points, Nowitzki made an outside shot, 5 to 6, the two sides entered a brief stalemate, during which Kaman was blocked for a layup. The Chinese team replaced Da Da and Chen Jianghua successively, and the German team Basil replaced Haman. The German team failed to attack many times. Although they requested a timeout, the Chinese team ended the first quarter with a 13-4 spurt and a 19-9 lead.

The shooting percentages of both sides are actually not very high, and many senior fans have already seen that the main reason why the German team trailed by 10 points in the first quarter was that the German team's inside line was suppressed by the Chinese team, especially Kaman. Facing Dayao at both ends, it can be said that the rhythm of being completely beaten.

Then in the second quarter, the German team regained their touch and hit a 10-1 shock wave, closing the score to 19-20. At the critical moment, Dayao made an outside shot and stabilized the situation. However, when Dayao was replaced, the situation began to favor the German team. After Kaman made a steal and layup, the score became 27 to 25, and the German team took the lead for the first time. The low shooting rate of the Chinese team did not improve after that. They were beaten 22 to 8 by their opponents in a single quarter, and ended the first half 27 to 31 behind by 4 points.

...

"27 to 31, this score is really low! It doesn't feel like playing half a game, but playing a game."

"The shooting percentages of both sides are not high, and when we have Yao on the court, our offense can be smoother, but when Yao is off the court, the offense will not work immediately."

"Anyway, the offense can't be opened. I think Zhang Guan should be replaced at this time and let Zhang Guan break through. Maybe it will have a good effect."

"Yes, that's right, change to Zhang Guan!"

"At such a critical time, Zhang Guan should be allowed to break through and cause damage to the inside line of the German team. It is best to cause Nowitzki's foul. If Nowitzki is sent off, the German team will lose!"

Just when the fans were discussing fiercely about wanting Zhang Guan to play, at the door of the locker room of the men's basketball team, Yunus grabbed Zhang Guan.

"Zhang Guan, our situation in the second quarter was very passive, and we couldn't start our offense at all. We may have to play you in the second half!" Jonas said.
