I’m Really Playing Basketball

On September 13, 2010, one day after the semifinals, the US and China World Championships finals officially started in Istanbul.

As the two most popular teams in this competition, the Chinese team and the US team met in the final finals, which can be said to be well-received.

The Chinese team took Serbia lightly, while the U.S. team defeated Lithuania with some difficulty. Of course, these difficulties can only be said to be some, because under the shot of the American star Durant, Lithuania’s resistance instantly melted. For nothing.

Playing 38 minutes, 14 of 25, 5 of 12 three-pointers, 5 of 5 free throws, 38 points and 9 rebounds, Durant broke the resistance of Lithuania by his own strength.

In fact, after the U.S. team entered the knockout rounds, Durant has always been in the mode of random killing, the top 16 battles, the top eight battles, the top four battles, Durant played 30+ games.

It can almost be said that one person carried the US team all the way to the promotion.

Therefore, although the Chinese team seems to be more calm on the way to advancement, and the strength seems to be still higher than that of the US team, but Durant of the US team showed invincible appearance in this World Championship. Amazed.

In the history of the US team, no one has shown Durant's level and adaptability in international competitions, even the boss of Joe, seems to be uninteresting.

In the FIBA ​​game, 30 points still want to be taken. In the history of FIBA, only Chen Xiao has given this feeling. Now, Durant also gives people this feeling.

Therefore, before the game started, the duel between Chen Xiao and Durant was also a big highlight. The TNT commentators Chris Weber and Reggie Miller, the two warm-ups before the game, were almost Never left Chen Xiao and Durant.

Both of them had a very high evaluation of Durant.

"In the past eight years, we have tragically lost every time we meet the Chinese team. The reason for this is that apart from the fact that there is no China on the US team that can play against Yao Ming, the most important reason is that we do not have a team like Wonder Boy. A scorer who can be fully trusted at critical moments. I am not disparaging LeBron or Kobe. Wade is one of the greatest players. In the NBA, they are omnipotent, but we need to admit that FIBA ​​is not the same as the NBA. , The stadium here is smaller, the defense here is stronger, the inside line here is more crowded, the defensive players here are more fearless and dirty. Many of the very good NBA stars, even superstars, can’t fully adapt to FIBA. Contest."

"Until Durant turns out!"

"His appearance allows us to see the hope of the US team standing on top of basketball again. We can imagine when Wade, Kobe, Kevin Durant, LeBron James, Oden, they all stand on the court at the same time. , What a great picture will that be?"

"I can't wait to watch the London Olympics two years later. That will be the moment when the American team will return again!"

Weber and Miller were very excited and excited before the game.

However, the two of them were so excited, their minds were still sober.

Both said that the main dream team will return to the top of the world in two years.

As for the US team in this world championships.

Although this American team is very surprising, it is indeed a bit difficult compared to the Chinese team and it is difficult to win.

Before the finals, the news on TNT and the United States was a lot and it was very lively.

So much so that ESPN called a hundred experts from the United States to score 24 players on the Chinese and American teams.

The final result is that the Chinese team has two A+ players, Chen Xiao, Yao Ming, one A-level, Yi Jianlian, and the American team, A+ only Durant, A-level only Aldridge, and even A- only has Biss. Li and Iguodala are just two.

Although Durant's performance in the US team was against the sky this time, there are still many problems. There are still many players who are not very comfortable with the FIBA ​​environment.

For example, Chen Xiao’s younger brother Granger on the Bobcats was given an E-Class by ESPN. The US team performed the worst, and was tied with Zhang Zhaoxu of the Chinese team for the worst of the two teams.

This is not because of his lack of strength, but that his style and Durant are too overlapping. The US team has Durant as a big killer. At the critical moment, Durant must be the one who played Lithuania in the last game. , Durant played 38 minutes in the knockout round. Durant played 36 minutes or more. What time do you think Granger can play?

As the player with the fewest appearances on the U.S. team, he averaged 4.1 points, 0.9 rebounds, and 1.0 assists per game in a very limited number of games. In fact, the statistics are okay. If this were the case, he would definitely not be rated as the worst performing player on the U.S. team. There will be this rating, entirely because of his complaints on Twitter.

As the champion player of this year's championship team, Granger thinks that this time there is no big big American team, he should be big big, but coach K reuses Durant and Beasley, do you think he will be cool?

I want to complain, but I don't dare to be a coach like Howard directly. Granger complained on Twitter, "Why don't European players wear perfume?" Why not spray deodorant liquid? ’

Although you are very resentful, but you dare not complain about Coach K, to complain about Europeans' living habits, this is a bit discriminatory and bad.

Just like if foreigners say why Asians squat to go to the toilet, why do they use chopsticks.

Everyone is used to you not being able to see clearly, yes, but you have to respect each other's habits.

Obviously, Granger has become a thorn in the eyes of everyone in Europe and the United States in an instant.

Europeans feel that they are being discriminated against, and Americans, especially many white rightists in the United States, are unhappy. You, a black person, dare to look down on our European white masters now?

Originally, Granger was just to vent his grievances. After this tweet was sent out, it instantly became a verbal and penalized existence in the two European and American sectors, and was sprayed with blood.

However, this is what it deserves, and he speaks without hesitation. Although the Twitter was deleted immediately after an apology, it is not easy to be forgiven, so the ESPN experts stepped on Granger crazily.

The Granger incident actually reflected some of the problems within the American team. Xiao Du's leadership has to be strengthened. He can't unite a team. At such a critical time, there is no way for his teammates to have only one voice for the time being.

In the Bobcats, Granger never checked Weibo or messed up at critical moments.

In the Lakers, under the leadership of the head of Science, Artest is also quite honest at the critical moment of the playoffs, and nothing has been done for the time being.

In this World Championships for the US team, Granger was violently trampled on. If Granger’s worst is said to be excusable.

So the two D-s of Curry and Chandler, Griffin's D, are well deserved.

Let’s talk about Griffin first. Griffin can still be overwhelmed by the underdogs in the group stage, but in the knockout rounds, facing those teams with big insiders and powerful players, Griffin knocked out the three games. In the game, he scored a total of 6 points and 5 rebounds. With his short hand, he couldn't make any waves at the basket and didn't shoot. What can you do? Every time I played, I was very upset.

And Chandler, he is considered to be the worst of the real American team. He has no offense, no rebounds, no assists, and even no defense. He played in the two knockout games of the quarterfinals and the quarterfinals. Coach K directly took him. Abandoned, he is in the NBA, one person can handle the basket, but in FIBA, Chandler is on the court, very confused, full of scenes of him being bullied by Yao Ming ten years ago, the big centers in front of him, Everyone is Yao Ming, everyone is the Great Wall of China, and he is very tired of doing it.

Curry can be tied with Chandler in this World Championship. D-, of course, is not without reason. In this World Championship, it can almost be said that he encountered the same problem in this year’s playoffs because of his health. It is thin and difficult to play under high confrontation. Although he has gained weight in the past two months, the FIBA ​​confrontation is much stronger than the NBA confrontation.

In addition to his inability to adapt to the intensity of the FIBA ​​game, Coach K does not like him. In the US team that emphasizes defense, he seems a bit out of place, which is very different from Coach K's coaching philosophy.

Therefore, in this World Championships, Coach K's most used point guard is Billups.

Although Rose is a starter, like Curry, it is not reusable and is a fake starter. Rose’s problem is not defense, but offense. Rose’s shooting ability is very poor this time in the World Championships. Rose does have it in the NBA. A certain degree of shooting ability, but the shooting environment of FIBA ​​is totally different from that of the NBA. As for the breakthrough that Rose is good at, he wants to break out, but there are Durant, Beasley, Aldridge, Ross at all in positional warfare. There is no tactical authority for positional warfare, and it is simply an offensive dribble guard.

Therefore, Rose only got a C rating. He was quite satisfactory. Guy had the same problem, and Rose had the same problem. He shot poorly and didn't have the right to hold the ball. He could only play fast breaks, dunks, and dunks. At critical moments, no performance opportunities are given, nor is there. Therefore, Guy is also C.

After all, Coach K doesn't trust them enough.

It can be seen from ESPN’s scores on the 12 players of the US team that this time the US team is a strong man in the NBA, but has combat effectiveness. At the same time, the players who are fully trusted by Coach K are Durant and Biss. Lee, Aldridge, Billups, Oden, Iguodala these six.

Others just beat the side drum, just icing on the cake.

If such a US team can beat the Chinese team, do you look down on the Chinese team or the US team in 2008?

The reason why this American team can sweep everything is not because of their strong overall, but because they have Durant.

So far, this US team, except Durant, the other 11 people, no one has scored in double figures.

In the three games of this knockout match, the US team scored 250 points in total. Durant scored 108 points alone, and the others added 142 points.

In this three knockout games for the US team, the US team made a total of 29 three-pointers, 15 of which were made by Durant.

If it weren't for Durant, let alone the US team, it would be hard to play Turkey in the quarterfinals.

This is not a joke. In this quarter-finals, the United States played Turkey. When Durant didn't make any effort, Turkey played against the US team.

In Turkey, Durant scored 20 points in the half, and the US team only had 42 points.

If it weren't for Turkglu's sudden injury in the second half, it would not be easy for the US team to win.

This is the American team, just like what Chen Xiao said to Dayao and the others. Because the American team has Durant, it needs special attention from the Chinese team. At the same time, this American team has only one Durant. .

They don't have any tactical system, and there is no tacit cooperation. If they have any difficulties, they will look for Durant.

Because of Durant, the US team reached the finals for the first time in the last three World Championships and achieved the best World Championship results in the last eight years.

However, this US team has only one Durant, James, Wade, Kobe, Paul, Ron Howard, and the Optimus Prime of the US team are not there.

You are a one-man team. You can kill Turkey and Lithuania because Turkey and Lithuania do not have Yao Ming or Chen Xiao.

The Chinese team not only has Yao Ming, but also Chen Xiao.

Therefore, no matter how you look at it, it is impossible for this American team to beat the Chinese team.

So, don’t look at the United States. The news of this finals is huge, but from experts to celebrities to fans, they all have no hope for this game.

Their only expectation for this game is whether Durant will still have such an incredible performance.

In the U.S. team, playing is like a single-core NBA team. The NBA star teammates around them have been played as role players, set off as undercover agents. This is just like Durant in the history of the U.S. team.

These American audiences are looking forward to whether Durant's miracle of this World Championship can continue, especially when facing the strongest opponent of the Chinese team.

In fact, the game between the US and China was exactly as predicted by these experts in the US. The US team lost in the end, a miserable loss of 84 to 100, a full 16 points loss.

At the same time, in this game, Durant's performance is still very good, 13 of 25 in the game, 5 of 13 three-pointers, 9 of 9 free throws, 40 points in the game, once again refreshing the history of the US team. The highest score in the World Championships.

Durant’s four knockout games in the World Championships were 33 points, 37 points, 38 points, and 40 points. Each game is refreshing the US team’s single-game scoring record in the World Championships. This is indeed very wicked. .

However, other than that, the performance of other US team players is very average.

Aldridge is 5 of 9, Beasley is 4 of 11, Billups is 2 of 7, Billups is playing shooting guard in this world championship, the group stage is okay, averaging 13 points per game, knockout finals In the first two knockout games, he scored 7 points. In this final, Billups scored 6 points.

In addition, Rose was 2 for 8, Gay was 2 for 0, Iguodala was 2 for 4, Koku played for 5 minutes, 1 for 0, and 0 points.

Oden scored 2 of 6 and scored 6 points. Griffin also scored 3 minutes. Chandler scored 0 and 7 minutes. Granger did not play this game. Because Durant played the whole game.

After the World Championship finals, the audience on the US team felt that although the US team lost, they did not lose because they saw what they wanted to see. Durant was really so Dior in FIBA. .

For a while, Twitter was full of admiration and praise.

Perhaps, at this time, only Barkley's tweet seemed a little dazzling: "When can the US team cheer for the loss, and take it for granted that it loses to a team?"

As always, the yin and yang are weird, but in the end, Barkley added: "Congratulations to the Chinese team, they have a well-deserved win, congratulations Chen, congratulations Yao, congratulations to them for winning the sixth world championship, and congratulations to them for changing this basketball that originally belongs to the United States. world."

The World Championship is over.

The Chinese team got their wish and won the final championship.

Chen Xiao averaged 24.5 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists per game and won the final MVP.

Durant averaged 28 points and defeated Scola of 27.8 points to take the lead in scoring.

And Chen Xiao, Durant, Scola, Yi Jianlian and Yao Ming were selected as the best team.

A guard has four frontcourts, consistent with the best team in history in 2010. That year was also a guard, four frontcourts, but there was no center, 3 small forwards, and a big forward.

So, judging from this best team, it seems more reasonable than the best team in history.

By the way, in this World Championships, UAE did not hit 20+10 like in history. The data was only 17+8, while Yao Ming was 20+9.

However, this is 17+8 for the championship and 20+9 for the championship. The gold content is quite different.

Therefore, when the news came that Chen Xiao, Yao Ming and the Arab League were selected for the best team, it can be described as a nationwide boiling.

Champion, MVP, three best lineups!

"This World Championship is perfect!"

"This summer is perfect!"

"The Chinese men's basketball team is also perfect!"

"Congratulations to them for breaking the history they created once again. We are no longer the five champions!

We have rewritten our fate!

We, now, are six crowns! "

Seeing Teacher Zhang's choked roar on the TV, many old women's volleyball girls in front of the TV couldn't help but move.

"Six crowns...the greatest team in the history of Chinese sports..."

Almost at the same time, many old women's Pai Guliang thought of this.

Because this is not their subjective view, it is an objective fact.

2 diamond cups

2 world championships

2 Olympics.

The Chinese men's basketball team completed two laps of the men's basketball world championship grand slam.

The women's volleyball team has 2 World Championships, 2 World Cups, and an Olympic Games. Both the quantity and the gold content are indeed inferior to the men's basketball.

Therefore, on the second day of the end of the World Championships, many domestic mainstream media and even the largest few official media all dubbed the ‘greatest team in the history of Chinese sports’.

finally!

"Under the leadership of Chen Xiao and Yao Ming, the Chinese men's basketball team has won its own era!"
