Super Lord of the Rings

Players get two days off after the group stage.

The Chinese media compared this Chinese team with the Chinese team that finished 8th in the 1996 World Championships, and concluded that this tournament deserves to be the strongest in history.

In the center position, Yao Ming, who has become the world's top center, is obviously better than Wang Zhizhi, who was fledgling in 1996.

Power forwards Wang Zhizhi and Yi Jianlian are definitely better than Gong Xiaobin.

Small forward Hu Weidong is better than Zhu Fangyu, "China Jordan" is not called for nothing.

Wu Qinglong was known as Asia's No. 1 shooting guard at the time. He was characterized by his ability to shoot three-pointers and his strength. Except for his short stature, he was somewhat similar to Wang Jun. But he is at most a weakened version, and the gap in this position is obvious.

Point guard Li Xiaoyong beat Liu Wei.

The reason why the Liaoning men's basketball team can compete with the Bayi team at its peak for four years is because of Li Xiaoyong. Without him, the Liaoning men's basketball team will only be an ordinary second-rate team. Although Liu Wei is currently the best point guard in the CBA, he cannot improve the team's level by himself, and winning the championship depends on Yao Ming's high level.

After the comparison, it is not difficult to find that although there were two strong points in the past, the standard of this men's basketball star is too high, and the 1996 class can only look up.

After Wang Jun came back, this year's men's basketball team has no obvious weaknesses. There are many shooters. Point guard Liu Wei at least does not suffer from physical confrontation when facing foreign guards. The Kings will want to give him a non-guaranteed contract, and there's a reason why they should try him out.

There are also surprise players on the bench. Sun Yue has good physical fitness, can often send out beautiful defense caps, and has good organizational skills.

Chen Jianghua became famous at a young age. As long as he strengthens his confrontation ability and improves his shooting skills, even if he can't adapt to NBA-level confrontation, he will be a star in Asia.

Everything is ready, just waiting for a breakthrough.

After qualifying from the group stage, Wang Jun's popularity in Japan is increasing day by day. In the last battle, a Japanese woman holding a Chinese sign showing love appeared in the stands.

Some Japanese businessmen want to find Wang Jun as their endorsement. Ryan Hughes was responsible for finding reasons to reject it. Wang Jun didn't want to endorse Japanese products, and he often came to Japan for events during holidays.

The most exaggerated thing is that a game company wants to buy Wang Jun's image. Put it in a Street Fighter game.

The images of Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan have appeared in the Tekken game, and the protagonists of Onimusha 3 are Takeshi Kaneshiro and Jean Reno. But they are all actors, what kind of image is Wang Jun appearing in Street Fighter to promote?

Take a basketball and Long Duo Bo? Compete with Chun Li? Boxing with Bison? This is so nonsense,

He has to push it off.

The rematch started two days later, and China's opponent was Lithuania, the third place in Group C.

Interestingly. Chinese coach Jonas is Lithuanian. If he wanted to lead the Chinese team to a record breakthrough, he had to beat his own country's team, which became a gimmick before the game.

Jonas knows the Lithuanian national team very well. After the game started, the tactics he arranged aimed at his weaknesses.

The Lithuanian center moves slowly, has height and strength. Yao Ming did not play low, but pulled to the outside to help his teammates cover. Wang Jun catches and shoots or breaks through with the ball, which makes it very difficult for the Lithuanian big man to defend.

Attracted double-teaming, he took advantage of the trend to score the ball, and his teammates shot. Yao Ming also has the ability to shoot jumpers in the high post, and Yi Jianlian also made two baseline air cuts and successfully dunked.

The Chinese team led by 10 points at halftime.

In the second half, Lithuania changed its strategy, guarding against Wang Jun from the outside, sending people to double-team from the side, and Yao Ming began to play.

Wang Jun passed the pass to his teammates without directly forming an assist. They lobbed the ball to the low Yao Ming on the right side, and singled out the opponent's center was an opportunity. Once Yao Ming misses the shot, the four quickly return to defense to ensure the defensive formation.

The Chinese team reduced Wang Zhizhi's playing time. Let Du Feng play for a long time, which is precisely the advantage. In order to ensure efficiency, Lithuania made resolute shots in the counterattack, and the rhythm was not very good. This is exactly what Du Feng is good at defending.

In the positional battle, Yao Ming guaranteed the offense in the penalty area. Lithuania could only shoot from the outside, and the defender broke through. The Chinese team played well in offense no matter whether it was counterattack or positional battle.

The point difference was not big, and the Chinese team had the last laugh 95 to 89.

China's defense is still problematic. Fortunately, their offense is very strong. Yu Jia commented: "Now the Chinese team has a standard internal and external dual-core configuration, which is reminiscent of the Lakers. Star players are efficient in singles and can help teammates create opportunities. Opponents can't double-team Wang Jun and Yao Ming."

Zhang Lili said: "One thing Yao Ming is better than O'Neal is his shooting range. He can not only attack hard, but also pull out, giving defenders more room to play."

Wang Jun scored 33 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists and played the whole game; Yao Ming played 34 minutes and scored 22 points, 10 rebounds and 2 assists; Liu Wei also showed his strength after a downturn in the group stage, scoring 16 points and 8 assists. The cooperation between him and Yao Ming is very tacit.

After the game, there were many comments on the Internet.

"Wang Jun is too strong, the best player in the NBA is just different."

"Wang Jun shoots more, what kind of balls are he passing? He should try to score 100 points in the group stage."

"As soon as he came back, his attack power was too strong."

"How is the schedule arranged? The next game is to play Spain, which is too difficult."

The fans unanimously believed that Wang Jun contributed the most to being able to reach this point. The fighting spirit of other players is also worthy of encouragement. The national team has absorbed a lot of young blood, with a faster pace and more active defense.

Wang Zhizhi didn't play much role, and the gap with the fans' expectations was not small. He was only responsible for leading the bench to ensure Yao Ming's inside offense after he left the field.

There are joys and worries. The fans were happy that the Chinese team advanced to the top 8, tying the best record in history, but they were depressed that their opponent was a famous European powerhouse.

There is no problem with the schedule, there are no upsets in the round of 16, and the top four teams have all advanced. If you don't want to meet Spain, unless Serbia and Montenegro upset Spain, that kind of thing can't happen.

Spain is indeed strong this year, also known as the golden generation. There are strong players in every position.

They seem to be the strongest outside of the US team. Many of them play in the NBA, and the few starters who didn't go also have NBA strength.

Pau Gasol and Jorgo Garbajosa partnered inside. Both have long range and stable shots.

On the perimeter are point guard Sergio Rodriguez, who was just picked 26th by the Suns in the first round. He is just a backup, the starting point guard is Jose Calderon of the Raptors.

The shooting guard is Juan Navarro, who was selected by the Wizards in the second round in 2002. However, he has a contract and has never logged in to the NBA. He has accurate three-pointers and good skills. He can be regarded as a combo guard.

Small forward Rudy Fernandez has amazing physical fitness. His explosive power and jumping ability are not like that of white players. It will be a matter of time before he can participate in the dunk contest and go to the NBA.

In addition, Felipe Reyes, Carlos Zimens, Carlos Cabissas, Gasol's younger brother Marc Gasol and others are also well-known European players with good strength.

The sports media analyzed the game, and most people watched Spain advance. Chinese fans gave advice to the Chinese team online, hoping that they could break through.

After reading the information provided by the scouts, Wang Jun knew that it was time to test himself.

The Spanish team's lineup is not impeccable. They may make Yao Ming uncomfortable, but they are afraid of him, a powerful outside scorer with range and strength.
