Chapter 275 The first match of the group stage, against Spain
Former men's basketball coach Wang Fei said bluntly: "We have some games in New Zealand, but we should not underestimate them. After all, New Zealand was No.2001 in the 4 World Championships."
"It is even more difficult for other teams, especially Argentina and Serbia and Montenegro have defeated the Dream Five team! Italy and Spain have also achieved good results in international competitions in recent years."
"If we only beat one opponent, we still have a great chance, but if we want to keep the top eight, we must win two games!"
But in the eyes of Wang Zhizhi and Yao Ming: "Hehe, where is the difficulty? We have Han Mo, do they have it?"
On August 8th, the first game of the group stage, the Huaxia team played against the Spanish team!Officially open.
Facing the Huaxia team, the Spanish men's basketball coach Pesgueta seemed a little nervous: "Han Mo didn't start? Are you sure?"
"Yes."
"Oh, this is not easy!"
Pesgeta's tooth suddenly hurt a little.
Spain's national team lineup is full of talents: center: Pau Gasol, power forward: Jorge Garbajosa, small forward: Felipe Reyes, shooting guard: Juan Carlos Navarro, Point Guard: Jose Calderon!
Either they have already entered the NBA, or they are about to enter the NBA. To be able to put out a starting lineup of NBA-level players, in this Athens Olympics, no other team can do it except the US team!
With such a strong lineup, Spain will naturally achieve results!But... the Huaxia team in the first match didn't play according to the routine!
Spanish coach Pesgueta asked Gasol: "Is Han Mo very strong?"
Pau Gasol: "Very strong!"
"How strong?"
"Stronger than you can imagine..."
"The Huaxia team deliberately put their strongest players on the bench. Our bench is not very good. They actually play tricks on us?"
Huaxia team starting: PG: Liu Wei, SG: Li Nan, SF: Zhu Fangyu, PF: Wang Zhizhi, C: Yao Ming!
In fact, the Huaxia team doesn't have as many ideas as the Spanish coach. Although many people think that although Han Mo returned to the team late, there is no suspense about the starting position.
But Silver Fox Harris put Han Mo on the bench on the grounds that Han Mo was not yet familiar with his teammates.
Han Mo has no opinion on this. Players who care about the starting position usually have one common characteristic: that is, their own strength may not reach the level of starting, so the less they can reach, the more they care.
As for Han Mo, whether to start in the national team or not?What counts?
The core ace of the Spanish team this year is naturally Pau Gasol who led the Grizzlies to the playoffs for the first time. Although the Spurs swept out the playoffs 4:0, as a young power forward, losing to Duncan is not a shame. .
In this year's regular season, Pau Gasol played against Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi, and without exception, they all suffered disastrous defeats starting with 20 points, but this does not mean that Pau Gasol will be afraid of them in the international arena.
"Heh, without the help of strong teammates, there is nothing to be afraid of. God knows why Han Mo is a substitute, but at least it is a good thing for me!"
However, the reality is obviously more cruel than imagined!
When Pau Gasol wanted to call Yao Ming out of the penalty area through a mid-range shot, Yao Ming remained unmoved and stayed on the inside all the time. In international competitions, he didn't defend for three seconds!Big centers can live in the paint forever if they want.
Don't be too friendly to a squatting center like Yao Ming.
As long as Yao Ming doesn't go out, no one really wants to come in!
Only when Gasol mobilizes Yao Ming can the group of assaulters from the outside line of Spain survive!
Yao Ming squatted in the pit, only Wang Zhizhi came out.
"Wang Zhizhi can defend me?" Pau Gasol laughed. In the NBA, Wang Zhizhi's defense can't be on the table!
But to Gasol's surprise, he lost three consecutive jump shots in the opening game under the defense of Wang Zhizhi!On the contrary, with the help of Yao Ming's cover, Li Nan opened fire first and scored three points.
"Without Han Mo, how strong is the Huaxia team?" The Spanish coach stood on the sidelines, a little panicked.
The group of death didn't mean to kill us in Spain, did it?
Gasol, the absolute core of Spain, walked inside, with Yao Ming shooting from the outside, followed by Wang Zhizhi, who was restrained inside and outside, and even scored two points in the first quarter by free throws alone.
But Spain still won the first quarter with a 27:17 lead by [-].
Gasol may not be as good as the current Yao Ming in terms of offensive ability, but his one-handed passing is unmatched by the Huaxia inside team!
Pau Gasol stood at a high position and used him as a check to form a dual-core team organization with Jose Calderon, sorting out Spain's offense in an orderly manner!
Yao Ming is really good at guarding the inside, but the soft throwing touch of the Spanish little guys really makes Dayao helpless.
On the offensive end, although Li Nan made a three-pointer at the beginning of the first quarter, the Huaxia team had nothing to do from outside. Sending it to Yao Ming is still a big problem that can't be solved!
However, despite leading by [-] points, the whole Spanish team is still very nervous, because Han Mo has not played yet.
Spanish team coach Pesgueta secretly guessed: "Will it be impossible? Then we will..."
Before he finished thinking, he knew that he was thinking too much, and Han Mo came on stage!
Huaxia team changed players: PG: Liu Wei, SG: Zhang Jinsong, SF: Han Mo, PF: Yi Jianlian, C: Yao Ming.
And Spain is even more cautious, still responding with all the main players in the starting lineup. This is a ruthless use of the main force when they are ahead by [-] points. It can be seen how afraid they are of Han Mo!
But in the second quarter, after playing for 2 minutes, Navarro suddenly felt that Han Mo didn't seem to have anything to fear, and seemed to be completely outside the Huaxia team's tactical system.
On the defensive end, he just hugged Reyes. On the offensive end, he just stood stupidly outside the three-point line and hardly ran.
Yao Ming and Liu Wei each passed a ball to Han Mo, and without exception, they all missed!
"Not all famous players in the NBA are suitable for the international arena!"
Navarro sneered, Navarro himself was a second-round pick in 2002, but he still has not joined the NBA. He still has a three-year contract with Barcelona, Spain.
Facing the aging Zhang Jinsong, Navarro suddenly looked like he was out of nowhere!Kick the ground with your calf and take off directly!Rushing into the inside line, one meter away from Yao Ming, bypassing the supplementary defense, and throwing in with a raised hand!
After scoring the goal, Navarro squinted at Han Mo, and was still standing on the outside line in a daze!
After Han Mo came on the field, the Huaxia team's offense still did not improve, and the score was already 15 points behind.
In the next round, Liu Wei dribbled the ball halfway and passed it to Zhang Jinsong. Zhang Jinsong took a step forward, but Navarro cut him directly close to him!
Guest commentator Zhang Weiping shouted: "This is an unreasonable gap in physical fitness! What's wrong with Zhang Jinsong's ball? There is no problem with the ball, but he can cut you off!"
"Oh!"
Navarro's eyes went dark!
The referee blows the whistle!Offensive foul!
Han Mo, who weighed nearly 110 kilograms, was knocked and flew two meters away by Navarro, who weighed less than 90 kilograms?
Han Mo bared his teeth, his acting was terribly exaggerated!
Navarro black question mark: "Damn! Did I touch you?"
Zhang Weiping hehe: "But we Chinese people are smart!"
