Chapter 820 Advance to the quarterfinals
The match between China and Australia was put to the penultimate game, but the current situation in Group C is very unoptimistic. Except for Greece, which won Slovenia, Brazil, Lithuania and Turkey all went home, while the Dream Team of Group D and Italy have successfully broken through.
Lithuania was eliminated a bit beyond everyone's expectations. Although the strength of the Dream Seven team is far above them, but for two consecutive World Championships, no one thinks that Uncle Sam has the strength of a basketball kingdom. On the contrary, in Lithuania, Jaskovius and Avedas Masiovikas, plus two NBA players at Dalius Sangela and Linaskoreza should have the power to fight against the Dream Seven team. Unexpectedly, they were behind the Dream Seven team twice in the first half and finally defeated by 13 points.
The reason why Lithuania lost so badly was because there was another internal strife in the team. The two new generation players were dissatisfied with Jaskovihus and other veterans. They even fought in the locker room. In this situation, they could qualify as the third in the group. If there was no internal strife, then they would be the first in the group, which was no problem.
However, Turkey's group first did not show off for long. Facing Italy, which was third in Group D, Esterku and Ilyasova, who had not graduated from North Carolina, were completely beaten by Belinelli in various outspatches. This World Championships may become Belinelli's reputation battle. In addition to facing Li Lei, this guy was very successful when facing other defenders, which made his net worth a lot higher.
If he performs well in the club next season, then the draft pick will definitely be not low next year. This performance in the international arena is very extra points. If it weren't, how Rubio became popular? Isn't it because he left an impression on people during the Beijing Olympics? Although the impression does not represent strength, it is definitely not an unknown person who can leave an impression on people.
In this game, Yunas' lineup is still not that bad. Li Lei, Wang Shipeng, Sun Yue, Yi Jianlian, and Yao Ming. The movement speeds of these five positions are all fast among the players in the same position, including Yao Ming. His current style of playing is completely different from the historical space. He is now really like the template Rick Schmitz, a guy who relies on his skills rather than on his body and tonnage. However, Yao Ming's style of play is not as soft as Rick Schmitz. In addition, he does not have to participate in many garbage competitions, so the opponent's body is still very good.
After countless considerations, Brian Guerjian in Australia has arranged such a lineup, Luke Kendall, Aaron Bruce, Luke Barlow, Sam McKinnon, Andrew Bogutt. Well, this lineup is really awesome. Fortunately, Australia is not in Group D. If they are in Group D, they may not even be able to beat Puerto Rico. Apart from Bogutt, the remaining players in the team are really brothers.
Like the future Simmons, Exam, David Anderson and others, they don’t know where to squat at the moment, and they can only rely on the No. 1 pick, Bogut.
Bogut wanted to dunk at the beginning, but Yi Jianlian's bounce was better than any of his teammates. When changing defense, Yi Jianlian blocked the beg, and as soon as the Eagle King came up, he gave Xiaolu a warning.
Yi Jianlian has grown into the core of the Hawks, and Paul also led the team into the playoffs last season, which gave the people of Atlanta hope. Compared with Yi Jianlian, Bogut's No. 1 pick last year also made it into the playoffs, but on the rookie list, he was beaten by Delong and Paul, so when facing Yi Jianlian, Bogut's fighting spirit is still very strong.
However, the idea of Australian big mouth is very beautiful, but his teammates can no longer hold on. After Li Lei used Parker to break through and over the opponent, he came to the inside and made an Irving sign - a big loop change of hands and layup. The reason why he didn't use a single arm was that Li Lei felt that he was too tired, and his layup level was not very high compared to shooting, and if he changed hands, he would make the error tolerance rate higher.
This ball is a good example. Bogut wanted to block the block, but Li Lei changed hands. If he had to hit the block with one hand, he would be blocked by Bogut. This guy's offensive ability may be average, but he still can't underestimate it on the defensive end.
Irving's layup was not invented by Irving, but Li Lei would think of him when using this move, because besides him, those who like to play this move either retire or do it strangely. Irving's is very elegant and gives people a very good impression.
As the godson of Speed, this guy successfully shot his godfather on the beach, but Speed is really not weaker than Irving. At least in the organization of offense, Irving and Speed are not at the same level. However, the era in which Speed is located is endless, so this guy has become a point guard who is even more miserable than Mark Jackson.
Li Lei's turnover and big layup made the atmosphere of the audience rising again. They really hoped that Li Lei would make a few more, but in Australia, Li Lei was not given a chance at all. They played joint defense and would rather let Li Lei shoot himself into a hornet's nest on the outside than let this guy continue to rampage in the inside.
Li Lei was very comfortable because the best way to crack the joint defense is to make three points. No tactic is absolutely invincible, but if you interpret a certain tactic and technology to the extreme, it will be another scene.
Australia did not hold on for long before surrendering. They were mostly 20 points behind in three quarters. After three quarters, Bogut's score was only 10 points, but his team has gone far away now. Australian big mouth is not ordinary despair.
He has participated in two international competitions. The Olympics two years ago brought him endless bitter memories. Unexpectedly, the performance of his teammates in this World Championships still did not improve much. Bogut was very tired. This guy scored a double-double of 20 points and 10 rebounds in the whole game. The data looked very good and his shooting percentage was just right. However, after the main players of China went down, he started to beat Bogut. No one stopped him. Anyway, they all lost, so it was not an exaggeration to use the data. Anyway, the ending of the game could no longer be changed.
The Chinese team advanced to the quarterfinals, and the four knockout teams in Group D were not affected except Slovenia, which made Slovenia very embarrassed. Perhaps Alespipan's coaching position is really out of control.
Chapter completed!
