During halftime, the Chinese men's basketball team was quite relaxed.
Yao Ming anchored the paint, while Wei Guo held his own against Nowitzki.
Overall...
The Chinese men's basketball team is stronger than the Chinese men's basketball team.
They didn't make any major mistakes in the first half and had a relatively safe lead.
"Nowitzki and I are both top players in the league."
Wei Guo also reminded his teammates, "The so-called top players are those who can explode at any time, so we can't slack off in the second half and must secure a win in this game."
On the D country's men's basketball team side, the head coach is also encouraging the players not to give up.
......
The second half began, and the D country men's basketball team intensified their offensive.
Nowitzki received the ball in the mid-range, faced Wei Guo's defense, spun around to the basket, and made a low layup.
"Whoosh!!!"
The basketball went through the net cleanly.
Sitting on the sidelines, Wang Hu said to Zhu Yu and the other young players, "Just like Wei Guo said, players of his and Nowitzki's level are absolutely not to be underestimated."
Nowitzki's one-on-one goal against the national team was a huge morale booster.
Then...
Guo Qiang's mid-range shot missed, and Hamann grabbed the defensive rebound.
Garrett dribbles the ball up the court!
Nowitzki received the ball again, and facing Yao Ming's defense, he took a one-legged fadeaway jumper.
"Whoosh!!!"
The basketball went through the net cleanly.
Dirk Nowitzki scored four points in a row at the start of the game, and his desire to win told the Chinese men's basketball team that he had to win this game.
"Well done, buddy!"
Nash sat on the sidelines cheering for Nowitzki.
Iverson and Kobe have both left, but Nash hasn't. He and Nowitzki were teammates and very good brothers, and he had to stay until the end to witness his brother lead the Chinese men's basketball team to victory over the Chinese men's basketball team.
......
"Weiguo, you have to guard against Nowitzki!"
These are Wang Hu's true feelings, but he won't stand on the sidelines and shout them.
As the saying goes...
Every family eats dumplings during the Lunar New Year. Even if it's a defensive strategy, Nowitzki couldn't possibly score a single point.
China Men's Basketball Team on offense!
Wei Guo received the ball outside the three-point line, Guo Qiang passed the ball to Wei Guo, Wei Guo received the ball and faked a jump, Yao Ming directly cut into the paint.
Two players from country D's men's basketball team rushed to defend their country!
But Wei Guo flicked his wrist in mid-air and smashed the ball directly towards Yao Ming.
"That's a pass!"
The head coach of country D shouted, "Quickly go and help defend the paint!"
But it was too late for Yao Ming to realize this. He received a pass from Wei Guo, jumped up, and easily dunked the ball into the basket.
"Defense!!!"
Wei Guo signaled to his teammates to retreat and defend!
The game is only in the third quarter, and the team absolutely cannot afford to be complacent, especially the Chinese men's basketball team. In addition to Nowitzki, Garrett and Schultz all have accurate shooting skills.
Therefore, the defense of every position must not be relaxed!
"Wei Dong, watch your jersey on the left!"
As soon as Wei Guo got into position under the basket, he shouted, "He will be the finisher of the offense!"
One advantage of international competitions is that the players don't speak the same language. Wei Guo reminded Wei Dong to play defense, but the D country men's basketball players didn't know that and continued to play according to their own tactics.
Schulz moved to the left, and Hamann passed the ball to Schulz.
Schultz catches the ball and shoots!
*Smack!!!*
Wei Dong followed up and jumped, blocking Schultz's shot.
Guo Qiang grabbed the rebound and launched a fast break... Garrett quickly caught up with Guo Qiang, but instead of forcing a layup, Guo Qiang made a bounce pass to Wei Dong behind him.
"Bang!!!"
Wei Dong received the ball and dunked it with one hand!
As expected of the 'Chinese Jordan', Wei Dong, who is already over 30 years old and may retire in a few years, still catches the ball and dunks with incredible ease.
......
Time passed by, second by second.
It was difficult for Nowitzki to score against Wei Guo's defense, so he often drew the ball and let his teammates score.
But...
This year's Chinese men's basketball team is truly formidable.
Even without Wei Guo, the ratio of Chinese men's basketball team to Chinese men's basketball team is 60/40, with Chinese men's basketball team accounting for 60%. However, with Wei Guo added, the ratio becomes 30/70, with Chinese men's basketball team accounting for 30%.
79:57!!
With 1 minute and 29 seconds left in the third quarter, the Chinese men's basketball team was down by 22 points.
You should know...
In international basketball games, each quarter is only ten minutes long. The Chinese men's basketball team scored nearly 80 points in less than three quarters, which is comparable to the US men's basketball team.
The D country's men's basketball team is still making a last-ditch effort!
Harman and Nowitzki executed a pass-and-cut play inside the paint. Harman received the pass from Nowitzki and started his layup!
*Smack!!!*
Wei Guo emerged from behind Hamann and slapped the ball onto the backboard.
"Beep!!!"
The referee blew his whistle and called a defensive foul on Wei Guo.
"That's a foul???"
Wei Guo shrugged. "Your refereeing is pretty unprofessional."
International basketball referees are naturally different from NBA referees. Not only are the referees different, but many rules are also different. Therefore, the US men's basketball team has a disadvantage in participating in such international competitions. However, because its overall level is so high, this disadvantage is almost negligible.
Hamann stepped up to the free-throw line.
Wei Guo said, "In the higher-level league, free throws are always taken with your back to the basket."
After saying this, Hamman paused for a moment!
That iconic moment is known to every professional athlete. Back then, O'Neal challenged Wei Guo, "Do you dare to shoot free throws with your back to the basket?" Wei Guo actually did, and he made both of his free throws.
"bang~~~~"
Harman's composure was affected, and he missed his first free throw.
"Huff... huff... huff..."
Hamann dribbled the ball while adjusting his breathing, preparing for his second free throw.
"bang~~~"
Missed the second free throw!
Wei Guo easily grabbed the defensive rebound, but he had no intention of passing the ball to his teammates. He slowly dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and suddenly jumped!
Two defenders came up to block the shot!
Wei Guo slammed the ball down, and it bounced off the floor and into Yao Ming's hands.
An empty defense.
"Bang!!!"
Yao Ming stood on tiptoe and dunked with one arm.
........
At the end of the third quarter, they led by nearly thirty points.
The D country's men's basketball team has also given up...
This team is second only to the US men's basketball team in terms of strength. They can only hope to win a game against the US men's basketball team, otherwise they will be completely out of the running for the quarterfinals.
"Beep!!!"
The match ended with the referee's whistle.
107:83!!
The Chinese men's basketball team defeated the Chinese men's basketball team by 24 points, winning their first victory in the World Men's Basketball Championship.
Match statistics:
Wei Guo: 21 points, 11 rebounds, 9 assists, 3 steals, and 3 blocks
