From the capital of East Asia to the heart of the Eastern Roman Empire, Wang Kai saw the changes in the world.

China is now like a huge construction site, with half the world's tower cranes, and every day the building grows like vegetables.

The entire country was in a state of rapid progress, and at this time West Asia was still immersed in a Muslim atmosphere.

People here still follow ancient traditions, and religious influences can be seen everywhere in the city. This place is completely different from the West or Asia.

When we arrived in Istanbul, the Chinese team entered the hotel. When the team was resting, Amy and Xu Cheng also arrived at this intersection of Asia, Europe and Africa.

From a tourism perspective, Istanbul is definitely a place worth visiting in a lifetime.

The Roman Empire, Byzantine Empire, Latin Empire, Ottoman Empire, and Turkish Republic were born here one after another. Almost Asian, European and Africans have ruled here, so there is a lot of cultural heritage here.

Food, scenery, humanities, and Istanbul all bring together various characteristics of Europe, Asia and Africa. The entire city is like a city in a science fiction film, mixed with all elements of existence.

When he arrived in this kind of place, Wang Kai naturally accompanied Xu Cheng and Amy to the Topkapi Palace, Hagia Sophia Cathedral, Blue Mosque, Underground Palace and many other famous places in Istanbul.

After browsing the scenic spots, the three of them also watched belly dance together, ate Turkish Kaba Barbecue, and drank Turkish coffee and black tea.

This is a wonderful trip to Türkiye. While visiting the Turkish spice market, Wang Kai even saw Amy's smile rare.

Amy seemed to be much more relaxed when she was with Xu Cheng than with herself, which made Wang Kai feel a little hurt. No matter what, she is also the father of the child in her belly.

After two days of traveling in Turkey, other teams have arrived one after another, and the group has been divided. The Chinese team is lucky in the group and is assigned to Group C. The teams in Group C are China, Greece, Turkey, Côte d'Ivoire, Russia, and Puerto Rico.

There are not many strong opponents in this group, only Greece and Russia are the strongest, so it is very easy to qualify. But the trouble is that the host Turkey is also in this group, which is definitely an unfavorable factor for China. In this kind of world-class game, the home whistle is much better than the NBA's home whistle.

But China doesn’t have to worry too much, because the group stage only requires four teams from six teams, so as long as there are less than the last two, you can qualify. Only after qualifying will you start playing the knockout round!

After a good grouping, the team immediately moved to Ankara because the four groups of this World Championship will play in four different cities. Group a is in Istanbul, group b is in Abidi, group c is in Ankara, and group d is in Harkapinal.

Türkiye's official official is still very concerned about this World Championships, and there are also many journalists from all over the world.

Among the countries in Group C, Wang Kai is the biggest star, so when he arrives in Ankara, there will be a group of reporters chasing the Chinese team, which is quite troublesome.

Türkiye has also received a lot of attention in its capital, and Group C is still very lively.

The second day after the team arrived in Ankara, the Chinese team was about to face the first opponent of the group, Greece.

The opening match between the Chinese team and the Greek team is not very good news! The Greek team is the runner-up of the last World Championships and the champion of the European Championships. They are now on a very strong momentum. The Greek team is definitely a strong European team, and there is a gap between them in Germany and France.

The opening game of the Chinese team is just a tough game, and the game is difficult to play. Moreover, the Greek team's style is tough in defense and team-oriented in offense. This style of playing is very difficult to deal with. There is no obvious weakness, and it is impossible to start from the weakness to directly defeat the opponent.

At 9:00 p.m., the Chinese team ushered in the opening match against Greece at the Ankara Capital Stadium.

In this game, the famous teacher Sun Zhengping, who can't comment on basketball. At the beginning of the game, Teacher Sun calmly said: "Friends! Friends of the audience! This is the match between the Chinese team and Greece in the World Championships. The defender Spanoris, center Blosses, shooting guard Diahman, power forward Costas, and small forward Zisses."

"There are Wang Kai and Liu Wei on the back line in China, the small forward Wang Shipeng, and Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian on the inside."

Just as Teacher Sun was explaining, the game began. Yao Ming first clicked the basketball on the Chinese team at the beginning.

Liu Wei won the basketball on the Chinese team, and the Greek team immediately came up to press, putting pressure on Liu Wei. The Greek team put pressure on the Chinese team's back line when they came up, because the Greek team's head coach Yunas was the head coach of the Chinese team before, and he understood some of the weaknesses of the Chinese team.

Liu Wei was pressed and immediately transferred the ball to Yi Jianlian's hand. Yi Jian was even tall and jumped, making it very easy to get the ball.

Yi Jianlian got the basketball here, waited for a while, and Wang Kai ran over from the front.

Yi Jian passed the basketball to Wang Kai's hand. Wang Kai took the ball and dribbled the ball, reached the free throw line, and raised his hand to make a shooting move.

Diahman and the Greek players shrank slightly together, and Wang Kai turned around and passed the ball to Wang Shipeng, who had just leaked out of the bottom corner.

Wang Shipeng decisively threw a three-pointer. He threw it very decisively, but his touch was average and he missed the three-pointer.

The Chinese team passed the ball to Wang Kai at the beginning, and Wang Kai continued his previous style of playing soybeans, running, passing the ball, and nothing else left.

The Chinese team missed the shot, and Greece immediately protected the rebound and then advanced calmly.

The Greek team is a team that plays overall basketball. China has explored this aspect. The Chinese team used to hire Yunas and wanted to take the overall basketball path of European teams. However, European players have been suitable for team basketball since childhood. The whole team cuts empty positions. Chinese players have been watching NBA since childhood, and there is really no such atmosphere.

Chinese players are different from European players. No matter how high European players are, they will pass long shots at the plenary session. Chinese players are generally not very good at these. Therefore, Yunas's coaching in China is not successful, and China's basketball soil cannot take the path of teamwork.

Yunas was not successful in China, but he was very successful in Greece. At this time, the Greek team was very patient when they played.

Spanoris is on the line and covers with the big man, while the bottom line and wing Greek players are playing without the ball.

Once Greece starts to operate, players with balls and players without balls are moving, and the entire team is in contact. This is the way for Lithuanian basketball brought by Yunas.

This approach is quite a test of a team's defensive level. There are big men like Yao Ming in China, so they will definitely not be able to keep up with the free rotation.

At this time, the Greek team sent the basketball to the center Bloss who was pulled outside the three-point line at the beginning. Blosses was 2.13 meters tall and tall, but his best position was long shots.

This is very tricky. Yao Ming couldn't save it at all. Brosis took the ball and shot very decisively, taking the ball and shooting a three-pointer.

"brush!"

Greece scored 3 points first, and the Chinese team tasted the strength of Greece at the beginning.

After losing a goal at the beginning, the Chinese team immediately hit the ball, and they were also a little anxious.

After all, the Chinese team is very famous now. After being hit by someone so easily, the Chinese team also thinks it is a bit unfavorable.

Yi Jianlian forced his fight against Costas when he came up, but he underestimated him! Costas did not have the athletic ability of Yi Jianlian. But after all, he was a player who had been fighting in Europe for many years. Being on his single defense can still cause great difficulties for Yi Jianlian.

Yi Jian missed a jump shot from here!

Sun Weiping immediately lamented: "Ah! Yi Jian missed a shot!"

At this moment, the Greek team got the basketball at the basket and pushed forward again, and the Greek team advanced forward.

Spanoris passed the ball to Zessi, who crossed the cover with his teammates and got up and threw a three-pointer from the wing one step away from the three-point line.

"brush!"

The Greek team made another three-pointer, and the Greek team scored two consecutive three-pointers and scored 6:0.

At this time, the Chinese team was really a little anxious. Liu Wei passed the basketball to Wang Kai after halftime.

Wang Kai was not in a hurry to get the ball, nor was in a hurry at all. Wang Kai took the ball and immediately passed the ball to Yao Ming near the basket.

Yao Ming took the ball and attacked the low post. Three Greek teams doubled the team. Yao Ming got up and threw a hook. Yao Ming threw the hook high, and no one in the Greek team could touch it, but there were three people around, so Yao Ming's ball was definitely not easy to enter.

Sure enough, Yao Ming missed the shot! Although Yao Ming is a flagship figure of the Chinese team and one of the best centers in the NBA, Yao Ming has shortcomings. In addition to the many well-known slow speeds, Yao Ming also has a very obvious and common shortcomings of Chinese players. He doesn't like to pass the ball, nor can he pass the ball.

As long as Yao Ming gets the basketball, the probability of passing it back to his teammates is the top 20 in the league. On the one hand, it is difficult for Yao Ming to catch the ball, and it is not easy to catch the ball once, so he naturally wants to play. On the other hand, Yao Ming does not like to return the ball to his teammates very much.

The Chinese team missed the ball, but the Greek team never attacked the ball. They came up and did cover the ball and ran without the ball.

Greece played a complete team attack, but it was not hard at all. She kept running and passing the ball patiently. Greek players also passed the ball, and everyone could pass the ball. After a quick and continuous running position, Spanoris leaked an open position at the bottom corner.

Span Norris took the ball and threw a three-pointer, and Span's three-pointer also made a "brush!"

The Greek team came up and bombed the Chinese team three consecutive three-pointers, which made the Chinese team a little stupid.

The Chinese team fans are also a little stupid! We are a strong Chinese team! Our Olympic champion, we have two All-Star players, but they were repaired by the Greek team so easily, which is not scientific.

Sun Zhengping was a little unbelievable at this time: "The Chinese team's outside defense is too bad. How could the Greek team make three consecutive three-pointers! This is too relaxed."

The start of the Chinese team's World Championship can be said to be extremely poor, very poor, allowing the Greek team to easily have three consecutive three-pointers.

As a result, the Chinese team finally began to focus, grabbed the backcourt rebound, and Wang Kai quickly reached the baseline position of Greece.

Wang Kai was the small man who came to the opponent's baseline first, and Wang Shipeng came over to give the basketball to Wang Kai. Wang Kai got the ball from the low post, hit Diyaman and made a simple throw shot, scoring two points.

After all, the Chinese team has two All-Stars, and these two All-Stars can get points by relying solely on their personal abilities.

Wang Kai is an all-round warrior, with his own tricks and killer moves in every position. Wang Kai finally scored 2 points for the team and got the score. Wang Kai came over and said to his teammates immediately: "We should follow our own rhythm, and we must follow our own rhythm!"

Wang Kai said this here because he has met many teams of this kind. The advantages of this kind of team are very obvious. If the feel is coming, the whole team will be very accurate and bloom more points. However, the disadvantages are also obvious. Once the feel is not good, there will be no flower blooming.

Playing such a team requires him to get out of the rhythm he is used to, and then they immediately fall into a state of not having a single flower.

The Greek team turned around and wanted to continue their team tactics. At this time, the Chinese team decisively came to a joint defense. I can't keep up with you, so we simply stopped running and defended the area.

The Chinese team decisively defended the joint defense, and the Greek team decisively made another three-pointer, and this time it became their power forward Squetas.

"brush!"

The Greek team scored the fourth three-pointer, with five people in the team, and four of them could shoot three-pointers, and they were all very accurate.

This is the Greek team, this is European basketball. The center and power forward throw three-pointers as easily as drinking boiled water. It is absolutely different from the muscles and sticks produced in the United States. The big Europeans are tall and big, but they are delicate in their hearts like the heroine of Qiong Yao drama, and the overall view is even better than the strategist.

Greece had four consecutive three-pointers. When Deng Huade saw this, his tactics immediately changed again. The unit defense expanded, defended the three-point line and the penalty area, and the 2-point mid-range shot area was no longer available. Deng Huade's tactical level may not be as good as Junas, but he is much cuteer than Junas.

Because Junas is always tactful, but Deng Huade is just straightforward, the Americans' style is straightforward. He can't keep up with the running without the ball, and immediately defends. Now, when he sees that the Greek team's three-pointers are too strong, he immediately gives up the central shot area and defends the three-point line.

Deng Huade was just straightforward, so fans liked him.

The Chinese team's defensive strategy has changed and the offense has become much more stable. Before, the Chinese team wanted to eat the Greek team in one bite.

This time, he finally ran a relatively complete tactic. Liu Wei came up and passed the ball to Wang Kai. Wang Kai stabilized on the right side and waited for Yao Mingka to take the position before he passed the basketball to Yao Ming. Then he suddenly ran behind Yao Ming and helped Yao Ming pull the defender away, which naturally formed a blank cut.

Yao Ming also realized that Greece was not easy to mess with. He held the ball high and played, passing the ball to Wang Kai who cut the basket.

Wang Kai is also the key defense target of Greece. When the Greek team saw that Wang Kai had the ball in, they came in. Two or three of them came to block Wang Kai. Wang Kai flew up and made an attack on the basket, but the rhythm in the air was very good. He pulled the rod and then passed the ball behind him to Yao Ming behind him.

Yao Ming felt good at this moment! There was no one in front of him, and a Yao-style dunk with one hand "Clang!" Yao Ming and Wang Kai also played together.

With such a cooperation, Sun Zhengping calmed down here: "The Chinese team is still powerful, and the combination of two All-Stars will definitely have the power!"

When the Chinese team fans saw it, they felt much relieved. The combination of Wang Kai and Yao Ming on the Chinese team was also unaware of Greece.

When Yunas saw that Wang Kai could pass the ball in a small space at the bottom line under such circumstances, his ability was indeed against the sky, so he could only shake his head. Wang Kai's passing seemed easy, but in fact it was quite difficult. This was not something that could be conscious, but it also required that he was against the sky's physical condition and sense of space.
