Chapter 182

After all, the Stankovic Cup is a warm-up for the World Championships. The core weapons of Li Hai and Yao Ming will definitely not fight for a long time, especially Yao Ming, who has been replaced early to rest.

In terms of player rotation, the Chinese team's offense is mainly launched from the outside. Wang Shipeng has made a lot of progress compared to last year, and rookie Chen Jianghua has also shown impressive speed.

During training, Li Hai and Chen Jianghua competed over 17 meters. This [-]-year-old young man's speed is almost the same as Li Hai's, but his physical fitness and basic skills are not strong enough. Otherwise, he might play the Knicks' fast break in the national team.

The difference between the strength of the main force and the substitute is also a weakness of the Chinese team. When Li Hai and Yao Ming went to rest, they immediately fell into a scoring shortage. At the end of the first quarter, they only led by 18 points at 15:3.

When Li Hai played in the second quarter, the score had become 19:20, and the German team led by 1 point.

The first offense he participated in was a three-pointer, which gave his teammates a shot in the arm.

With Yao Ming also playing again, the Chinese team once again showed their strength over the opponent after having a backbone. Nowitzki is strong, but he is also a bit difficult to support in the German team, not as good as Li Hai and Yao Ming on the Chinese team The combination of inside and outside makes playing a lot easier.

However, Nowitzki is really good at attacking. He has played longer than Yao Ming, and he almost dominates the inside. It seems very easy to score. It is obviously too difficult for Yi Jianlian to defend Nowitzki.

At the last moment of the first half, the German team took the lead again, and Li Hai made a mid-range shot at the buzzer to tie the score at 35:35.

The German team is not even a quasi-first-class team in the world. If it is so difficult to beat the German team, it will be difficult for them to achieve their goal of going further in the World Championships.

"We have to be more decisive in our shots. This is our home court, and we must play with the momentum to win."

During the intermission, Li Hai also took the initiative to encourage his teammates.

His strong desire to win also infected other people, and the atmosphere of the team suddenly changed.

In the second half, Yao Ming took the lead to show his energy and made a strong inside line to cause a foul by the German team.

Yao Ming is different from ordinary big centers. He is very accurate in free throws. Fouling him is equivalent to sending points.

With Yao Ming showing his power on the inside, Li Hai also found opportunities on the outside, and the CIC made an easy hit.

Nowitzki also began to show off his power. In fact, in terms of the scores of the two teams in the first half, the offense of both sides was not good. The tactics of the German team are a bit like a replica of the Mavericks. Get a shot.

However, the other teams in the German team obviously did not meet the burden of the Mavericks, and their dependence on Nowitzki is even more serious. If the Chinese team only has Yao Ming, it is estimated that the same situation will be the same.

But now the Chinese team still has Li Hai. The situation is completely different. Li Hai can distribute the ball well. The efficiency of the Chinese team is completely different with him or without him.

"Li Hai attacked with the ball, Okuraja couldn't keep up with Li Hai's footsteps at all, Li Hai went in... a beautiful shot, Zhu Fangyu hit a three-pointer."

"The ball was handed over to Yao Ming, and Yao Ming was double-teamed by the opponent. Li Hai cut in just right, and dunked directly after receiving the pass from Yao Ming. It was a perfect cooperation."

"Li Hai breaks through... the alley-oop, Li Hai's pass makes Yao Ming catch it very comfortably, and there is no need to make extra moves. This scene is really gratifying."

In the second half, the touch of both sides came out, but the Chinese team was smoother.

At 60:56, under the leadership of Li Hai and Yao Ming, the Chinese team entered the final quarter with a 4-point lead.

What made Li Hai feel relieved was that during the rotation period, the team finally played well. It should be better if the lineup is in order.

The German team obviously wanted to win the game, and Nowitzki played again after a short break.

Nowitzki scored points after playing, and Li Hai also requested to return to the court. Even if the nature of the game is just a warm-up, winning the opener is a good boost to morale, and Li Hai will not give up the victory to others.

When he played, the Chinese team still played Moko at the 5th position. Together with Wang Shipeng, Zhu Fangyu and Du Feng, all five positions shot three-pointers. It's 10 minutes.

Nowitzki was obviously not reconciled, and even scored 6 points on penalty shots, but when Yao Ming came back in the last few minutes, the Chinese team had the inside advantage, and the victory was firmly in their hands.

After Nowitzki tried two three-pointers and missed, the German team did not continue to be reluctant.

At 85:76, the Chinese team immediately followed the German team. Both the fans and the Basketball Association felt relieved.

Even if Li Hai and Yao Ming have proved that they are invincible in Asia, the Chinese team is still worrying about facing the European team, but today's victory shows that the current Chinese team is not afraid of the fierce play of the European team. With Li Hai , and there will be no panic when encountering tight pressure.

Both inside and outside have advantages, and the Chinese team should also enter the ranks of quasi-first-class teams in the world.

This Stankovic Cup will play three games regardless of the outcome, one every other day.

On August 8, the Chinese team continued to play against their second opponent, Brazil.

Although Wang Zhizhi played for the Chinese team after a long absence, the starting lineup remained unchanged.

Both sides started to play from the inside, and Brazil's inside is also good. Apart from Varejao, the young center Sprint also played well. Li Hai knew that this young center would participate in the selection next year, and then he would get his partner Duncan. Chance.

The two insiders of the Brazilian team are more flexible than the Chinese team and are better at coordinating. It seems that no one can defend the other. Then Barbosa showed his power. Under the leadership of the Brazilian Lightning, the opponent's offensive and defensive speed is very fast. The Chinese team I feel like I can't keep up.

However, in terms of defense, the Brazilian team did not put in a lot of effort. It seems that the national team will also be affected by the habit of the core of the team playing in the club, but it must be difficult for Barbosa to learn from Nash.

Sun Yue couldn't keep up with Barbosa's speed, so Li Hai took the initiative to switch defenses. Barbosa was very fast, but it was not that easy to get rid of Li Hai.

Another very important aspect is that no one in the Brazilian team can defend against Li Hai, and of course they cannot defend against Yao Ming either.

The first quarter was a scoring battle between the two sides, which was tied at 30:30.

When it came time for the players to rotate, the scores of the two sides dropped, and the Brazilian team's substitute players were obviously much weaker, and neither side scored for a long time.

After Li Hai played again, he restricted Barbosa to death, and the two teams began to fight for the inside line. In this case, the Chinese team must have an advantage.
