The game at fiba is not as easy as it seems.

The double-digit victory over Spain has created a virtual illusion for the world, as if the Chinese team not only needs to reach the quarterfinals, but also to reach the highest podium.

On the night of Spain's defeat, what they said most was: "We miscalculated the strength of our opponents, which was a natural defeat."

The subtext of this sentence is that they didn't take the Chinese team seriously, so they lost the ball.

When you lose, saying such words will undoubtedly arouse the disgust of fans. Spain may be nothing wrong with giving it to itself, but on the night of losing, this biggest opponent, known as the defending title of the United States, actually lost to the Chinese team at the quarterfinals. It would be ridiculous to excuse itself for such reasons after the game.

Spain was ridiculed for several days, and another strong team in which the Chinese team was grouped proved that Espanyol's arrogance might be essentially correct.

The second opponent of the Chinese team's men's basketball team in the Olympics is Russia.

Compared with the traditional European tycoons such as Lithuania who specialize in Chinese teams, Russia is not so smooth and comprehensive, but more domineering and ferocious. They are a bit like France and are very in line with the American style.

In 2007, they won the European championship magically because of the high-level support of the two NBA forwards, AK47 and Kayapa, and the assault of American naturalized defender JR Hoden.

This year, Russia is still surrounded by AK47, and there are still NBA players like Kayapa and Mozkov, as well as big guys like Kaun and Antonov, as well as the No. 2 Schevid, known as the best young generation in Europe. He will play in the Timberwolves next season.

Russia has clear tactical and regular characters, and is not better than European teams, but they pay more attention to the defensive end than other European teams, which is rougher, harder, more refined and more American than other European teams - in other words, harder to chew.

They can keep all players on the court two meters away at any time.

The Chinese team is already the tallest team in the Olympics with average height and physique, while Russia is on par with them, with their ability to compete, athletic talent and skills and tactics.

In the whole game, Space Yi did not face the courage of the Spanish inside.

There was no team cooperation that Chinese fans wanted to see. The whole game was full of 8 assists and 14 mistakes.

In contrast, Russia made 10 mistakes and 17 assists in the game.

They were obviously not as good as European teams, but they scored 17 assists against the Chinese team.

The Chinese team's scoring depends heavily on the performance of the stars.

After space is easily locked, the outside line has become the highlight of the Chinese team.

Perhaps there will be old Chinese fans who laughed happily. Since Wang Zhizhi blocked Hill in Atlanta in 1996, the Chinese team has started a mode of center-led game control.

The once proud super flank group has become functional 3D in order to cooperate with the giant's performance.

What's worse is that with Yao Xu's retirement, the Chinese team that wants to transform is looking around. Except for Sun Yue, who has been unable to play in regular games for many years, the small forwards trained by CBA are all functional 3D that are not stable in the ball.

CBA teams no longer develop star wings, because the influx of high-level foreign players, that is, domestic players with a very poor combat power and talent are difficult to seize power.

Instead of trying to train domestic players, it is better to introduce super foreign players at a high price.

If Wei Xia is not naturalized and takes Space Yi as the core, what is waiting for the Chinese team tonight will be an incredible defeat.

But even with Wei Xia, his personal ability can only help the team catch the game under the all-round gap.

The silent inside line made the Chinese team lose its fulcrum and even the rebounds were not guaranteed.

Wang Shipeng called the pick-and-roll and scored three-pointer, and Chen Jianghua played the ball from the outside with one goal.

Wei Xia took over the third and fourth quarters.

Except for Wei Xia, the attacks of others are unsustainable.

Russia's defense has become famous for a long time, so there is no need to repeat it. Everyone is tall, fast, strong and fierce; the lower plate is stable, and the steps are fine, ak47, Kayapa, and Severed all have the ability to defend against the virus like a vacuum cleaner. Mozkov's single defense, and Cowan is still moving in the inside.

When Chinese players fight alone, it is difficult to get rid of it; when they move to the weak side, they are scribbled by barbed wire; when they go to the wing side, they are like asking for double-teams.

It is not embarrassing to be strangled by Russia's defense. In the 2007 European Championship final, Spain was killed by Russia at its peak. Last year, the loss to France at the European Championship was just a loss to Parker's unmatched European Dream Team, which was a European Dream Team with all NBA players.

What really dwarfs China is Russia's high and low post-crossing attack.

When Russia won the European Championship in 2007, it started a set of quasi-Princeton routines: AK47 and Kayapa, two three-headed, six-armed, 10,000-pound forwards, like Weber Divac; naturalized foreign aid Holden was similar to Bibi in 2002. At that time, Russia's high and low positions were connected, and the wings were interspersed, and it had already taken shape.

Kayapa doesn't shoot many shots, but has as many assists as 6 times. Ak47 frequently appears near the baseline, cut out of the gap, and catching the ball is an opportunity; and Russia has added an option this year. After Schevid's pick-and-roll at the high position, Kayen, Ak47, Mozkov, and Kayapa can cut in or look for opportunities at the baseline.

Mozkov's first goal on the court was to cut out from the penalty area, and pass the ball from the free throw line at the base. Russia's score exceeded 60% from assists, and the core was to keep plugging the ball from the three-point arc to the free throw line, sending it to the penalty area to cut in.

Russia's ability to rush to 12 frontcourt rebounds is actually related to their interludes back and forth - as we all know, after long inside roaming and disrupting opponents' defensive matchups, it is very convenient to grab frontcourt rebounds, and AK47 is the clearest. Because the Jazz team he plays in the NBA is playing this system.

In terms of lineup, Russia does not have as gorgeous and diverse offensive weapons as Spain. Their attack penetrates the Chinese team, which is to say it is a pass-through and cut between high and low posts.

Endlessly blocking, walking, key position, passing and receiving.

On the other hand, the Chinese team's periphery pass plays a role in transfer. There are sometimes blocking and cutting on the strong and weak sides, but basically one covers the weak side, one shooter cuts out, receives the strong side transfers, and three threats turn around - not opportunities. There are very few people who penetrate the line from high and low positions, cut out the bottom line quickly, and cut out the opportunity by blocking.

The tactics cannot be opened, so you can only compete for personal abilities.

Wei Xia took over the game one step late. Although he scored 39 points, the Chinese team lost to Russia by 8 points.

"This game will allow Wish to see the vastness of the world. Success in NBA does not mean that you can also succeed on the world stage, otherwise, the US team will not lose."

FIBA's FIBA ​​headlines the next day with the Chinese team losing to Russia.

Because the Chinese team defeated Spain, it caused shock among fans. The battle to lose to Russia seemed to be their due strength.

“Every game needs to be all out.”

“This game won’t bother us.”

"We will look forward like the day before yesterday."

Although the grouping where the Chinese team is located is not as devilish as it was at home four years ago, there is no real easy opponent.

Spain and Russia are the old victims of the Chinese team.

Their record of winning and losing is far beyond the expectations of fans.

But if you want to advance to the knockout stage, you need to win one or two more games.

There are two groups in the men's basketball team, with a total of 12 teams, and four teams in each group can enter the quarterfinals. Beating Spain, the Chinese team has already entered the knockout round with one foot.

After they lost to Russia, Spain's Marca began to speculate that Spain deliberately lost to the Chinese team in order to avoid the United States before the finals.

But no matter what, they can't explain why they have to be the Chinese team.

Since you want to lose, you can lose to a stronger opponent.

Let me ask, is it embarrassing to lose to Russia, Brazil, or is it embarrassing to lose to the Chinese team?

The former is a team in the quarterfinals, while the latter is basically a team that competes with Tunisia in another group, who is the last and who is the second to last.

After Wei Xia joined, the Chinese team was not considered a strong team in the top eight levels of the Olympics, because except Wei Xia, other players are really average.

Anyway, they need to win another game.

The third opponent in the group stage is Brazil.

Wei Xia learned from the lessons of the previous game, opened fire from the beginning, and asked Deng Huade not to replace him.

Deng Huade wanted to let him play the whole audience, but he took the initiative to ask, but Deng Huade couldn't ask for it.

In the third quarter, Space Yi's injuries cast a shadow on the Chinese team.

The competition deviated from the preset route and became further and further.

Even though Wei Xia scored 43 points, facing the dilemma of being snatched by the opponent's unlimited offensive rebounds in the fourth quarter, the Chinese team lost a game of slimming.

90 to 92

Wei Xia, who played the whole game, could not win, and some people were worried that he would be disappointed.

They have been thinking too much. In the past few years, he has played too many games where he goes all out and loses.

Anyway, this is not the end. There are two more group matches, so keep working hard! Keep working hard!
Chapter completed!
