The Way of the Center

Yunus held his forehead in distress, and Yunus was very familiar with the two teams running on the field. E『』ΩNovel WwW. 1XIAOSHUO. On one side is the Chinese team he once coached, and on the other side is the team from his home country.

Before the game started, Jonas knew it was going to be a tough fight. But what he didn't expect was that the competition would develop in a one-sided direction.

In the last World Championships in Japan, the Greek team made it all the way to the final, only to lose in the final to the Spanish team, which was in full swing. This year, Pau Gasol did not participate in the World Championships, so the Greek team came to Turkey with great ambitions.

But today, in the first group match in Ankara, Turkey, the confidence of the Greeks was shattered.

In the first game against the Chinese team, the Greek media agreed that their team would undoubtedly have a good start. The only guy who needs attention is An Jie.

As it turns out, the Greeks were only half right. An Jie did bring them a lot of trouble, but Yi Jianlian's performance was equally dazzling.

At the beginning of the game, the Greek and Chinese teams played very fiercely. The scores of the two sides are anxious, and each other has offense and defense. But after Deng Huade changed his defensive strategy in the second quarter, the entire offense of the Greek team suddenly collapsed.

"We defend the zone defense and let them shoot from the outside, Ann! Kill their inside offense!" Deng Huade drew a picture on the tactical board. This zone defense arrangement is not complicated, but it is enough for Greece now.

So in the middle of the second stage, the situation of the game changed drastically. The inside combination of An Jie and Yi Jianlian stuck to the basket, forcing the Greek team to attack the inside several times in a row to no avail.

The center of the Greek team, Shore Chanitis, is a guy aiming for the NBA. He also has a bad street nickname, "Little Shark".

The reason why he got this nickname is because this guy is strong and powerful, and his playing style is mostly rampage, not like a European insider at all.

But the "little shark" of the Lakers has been taken care of by Anjie. What kind of waves can this little shark of Greece cause?

On the offensive end, his height is not dominant, and he intends to use his strength and tonnage to overwhelm An Jie. He tried several times to help the Greek team carve out a gap in the paint, but Anjie also used two consecutive blocks to make this guy die. Basketball is not won by strength alone. An Jie admitted that this guy's strength is very good even in the nba, but in other aspects... it's simply unsightly!

In Greece you are a little shark, in front of Angie,

You're just a little goldfish.

After that, the defenders of the Greek team also launched an attack on the inside of the Chinese team. But under the protection of An Jie and Yi Jianlian, their breakthrough attack efficiency is appallingly low. FIBA does not have a three-second defense rule, so Anjie can always hide under the basket, making the Greek team's inside offense helpless.

Helpless, Jonas can only look for opportunities on the outside. But the cold feeling of the Greek team today added to their death. The defense of the Chinese team's outside players is not very good, but today the Greek team just couldn't make a goal. Maybe the frustration of the inside offense also affected them to some extent. The touch of the outside line.

The Greek team's offense has stagnated, and China's offense is no worse than its defense. With An Jie's support, Yi Jianlian is not the only one who has benefited.

Liu Wei's interspersed running position will always be found by An Jie, so this veteran of the national team also got a lot of opportunities to go up to the basket. Wang Shipeng also repeatedly obtained the space to shoot from outside under Yi Jianlian's off-ball pick-and-roll. If the Chinese team used to rely on point guards to organize offenses, their passes may be too early or too slow, and the opportunities will be wasted. But now that the Chinese team is relying on Anjie, this situation has not reappeared.

As long as Wang Shipeng is free, basketball will always find him in time. The only thing the small forward needs to do is throw the ball into an empty basket.

As for Yi Jianlian, his cooperation with An Jie is even more subtle. Of course, the biggest headache for the Greek team was Anjie's independent attack.

Since the start of the game, Anjie has only missed one shot, and that goal was Anjie's missed mid-range shot, which has nothing to do with Shaw Chanitis' defense.

It can be said that as long as An Jie thinks, he can score! The Sharks of the Greek team are incomparable with Bynum, not to mention that even if Bynum came, he couldn't stop Anjie's attack.

Although the Greek team is still insisting, although Yunas is still roaring on the sidelines. But in the end, they still failed to survive the butcher's ravages.

Yunus exhausted his cards and wanted to fight the Chinese team to the end at all costs. But Anjie didn't give them a chance. He completely shattered the dream of the Greek team with dunks and violent blocks at the basket.

All the Greek fans were stunned and couldn't believe their eyes. They finished second in the World Championships last year, but they lost to the Chinese team, which was not expected before the game! And the person who caused all this to happen was not the familiar Yi Jianlian and Wang Zhizhi, but An Jie!

Winning in a national team jersey is a completely different feeling from the NBA. Although An Jie won't talk about patriotism all day long, but this sense of honor of winning glory for the country will come to him by himself.

With 28 points, 15 rebounds, 11 assists and 5 blocked shots, Anjie won a large triple-double. You know, this is the stat that An Jie didn't exert all his strength to get. If he is to show the state he played against the Lakers in the playoffs, it is not impossible for him to score 4o+2o.

The Greek Shark threatened to go to the nba this summer, but this game clearly made him realize the gap between himself and the nba.

Although An Jie is so much taller than him, Xiao Er Chanitis' agility and speed are far inferior to An Jie. Except for brute force, he has no point that can be called an advantage. Like Su Wei, this guy also found that there is a huge gap in all aspects between himself and the nba.

In addition, under the organization of An Jie, the players of the Chinese team scored in double figures. On the bench, roughly 12 points were also accounted for.

81 to 99, the Chinese team has dominated the game since Deng Huade used zone defense until the end. The last time the Chinese team beat Greece in an international competition dates back to 24 years ago. Unexpectedly, the situation has been completely changed now because of the appearance of one person.

The Chinese team not only won the game, but also won the game with a huge difference of 18 points. Greece is also a strong international team, but they are completely vulnerable to the Chinese team led by An Jie!

In the first game of the World Championships, the fans not only saw a brand-new Anjie, but also saw an incredible Chinese team. Many Chinese fans just thought about it before the game against the powerful team Greece. It never occurred to me that this casual thought would become a reality.

"He is such a guy. I knew that Ann would play well." This is the comment given to him by Anjie's teammate when the media interviewed Durant. If you want to say who knows Anjie's strength best in this World Championship, it is undoubtedly Durant and Westbrook.

"The Chinese team is not a weak team. As long as there is Anzai, even if we play against the Chinese team, we must be careful." Westbrook naturally gave Anjie a high evaluation.

Under the overwhelming applause, one day later, on August 29, the Chinese team won again as expected.

Facing the Cote d'Ivoire team, which is recognized as the weakest in the group, the Chinese team did not underestimate the enemy and showed no mercy. As an unknown team in the African region, Côte d'Ivoire is more about experiencing the atmosphere of the competition in the World Championships. To them, victory is just a luxury.

From the first quarter, the Chinese team has been leading the opponent. And this lead has been maintained by the Chinese team until the end.

Throughout the fourth quarter, Deng Huade didn't even let Anjie play, but the Chinese team won the game easily.

Yi Jianlian scored a game-high 26 points. An Jie didn't play in the fourth quarter, but he also scored 20 points and 8 rebounds. The Côte d'Ivoire team had no way to compete with the Chinese team, the Asian champion, and finally lost the game 85 to 73 without any suspense.

It's easy, the Chinese team won two consecutive victories in the group stage, and in the two games, the difference in winning points was more than 10 points. The qualifying situation of the group was very good, and An Jie became famous again.

Before the start of the World Championships, people were worried about the Chinese team without Yao Ming. But now, Anjie has completely filled Yao Ming's vacancy. Even in terms of supporting the ball, Anjie did better than Yao Ming.

Before the Era of Yi has really begun, the Era of An has arrived.

However, basketball has never been an individual sport. No matter how good An Jie is, it is impossible to greatly change the status quo of Chinese basketball on his own. Some people have been dazzled by the two consecutive victories of the Chinese team, and even started calling for the current Chinese team to fight against Mengjiu. But the calm fans also made a different voice.

Deng Huade brought six defenders in one breath in this game, but they can only be regarded as generals from among the dwarfs. The weak backcourt of the Chinese team has always been a persistent problem. Without An Jie, I can't imagine how the Chinese team's offense would be handled.

In the third game after that, the Chinese team encountered a strong enemy again. The Russian team is also one of the international strong teams, and they also have nBa-level players such as Mozgov in their team. Although in terms of individual strength, no one in the Russian team can challenge Anjie, but in terms of overall strength, the Chinese team is also far behind.

Under the leadership of An Jie, the Chinese team and the Russian team have been playing very anxiously. Even in the fourth quarter, the Chinese team once led the Russian team by nine points.

Just when there were five minutes left in the fourth quarter, the problem of the Chinese team was completely exposed. Under the tough defense of the outside players of the Russian team, Liu Wei and Sun Yue made several low-level mistakes, giving the opponent the opportunity to easily convert points.

Relying on the mistakes of the defenders of the Chinese team, the Russian team insisted on playing a wave of 10 to 2 offensive**. With such an offensive **, the morale of the Russian team was greatly boosted. Since then, the Russian team's small forward Voroncevic hit consecutive three-pointers from the outside, completely killing the game. If he can't receive a pass from the defender, no matter how good An Jie is, he won't be able to make a play.

89 to 83, after two consecutive victories, the Chinese team finally lost to Russia and ushered in the first defeat in the group stage.

Until then, the Chinese fans woke up like a dream. There is a huge gap between the substitutes and the defenders, and the shortcomings of the slightly lower level of the guards have finally been realized by everyone. Although the Chinese team lost the game, the Côte d'Ivoire team unexpectedly defeated Puerto Rico. In this way, the Chinese team with 2 wins and 1 loss will appear no matter how they play in the next game.

It can be said that Deng Huade has completed the task given to him by the Basketball Association. However, the fans definitely hope that the men's basketball team can break into the quarterfinals and even make history.

So in the last game of the group match, Deng Huade let all the substitute players play and let all the players sit on the bench. In this way, not only can the substitute players get exercise, but the players also get a chance to breathe.

But the result of this is that the host, Turkey, defeated China without much effort. An Jie scored 7 points in only 5 minutes in this game. Deng Huade intends to save his trump card until the knockout stage.

84 to 68, in the face of China, who had no desires and no desires, and Turkey, who also had no desires and no desires, easily won an innocuous victory.

Despite two consecutive defeats, it is an indisputable fact that the Chinese team qualified third in the group. In this regard, the men's basketball team led by Anjie ended their five-day group stage tour. During the next period, the Chinese team brought surprises to everyone, but also sent some disappointments.

But no matter what, at least An Jie and Deng Huade completed the task given by the superior without any risk. Whether they can continue to break through in the future depends on them.

Deng Huade and An Jie were very eager to win, and even thought about making history. But whether the rest of the Chinese team can help them accomplish this ambition is another matter...
