Chapter 1288 1287. Reach the semifinals again! (610 for double monthly votes)

Puerto Rico is the eighth in the world again. Their players could never have imagined that they were still playing in the quarterfinals after Italy was eliminated.

Eighth in the world, satisfied.

Fighting with the Chinese team?

Not happening. It's rare to have a second chance to play against the Chinese team. Of course, I'll ask Liu Mang for his autograph!

NBA Liu Mang is very good. The US team is not without NBA stars. On the contrary, everyone on the US team is a NBA star. It's just that the Puerto Rican team didn't feel how strong Liu Mang is. They lost to China in the group stage, and it was Yao Ming who easily scored 30+ under the basket.

But the highest scorer of the US team in this World Championships was Wade's 31 points. Among other powerful stars, the highest scorer was Battier's 27 points. He made 6 three-pointers in that game.

Liu Mang scored 60 points in the knockout round, breaking the historical record. Although the difference was due to the fact that the American team had more ball rights than the stars, Liu Mang's performance was still too shocking.

Puerto Rico players didn't know if they would have another chance to play against the Chinese team. They might not be eligible to participate in the next Olympics, or they might retire. They took this opportunity to ask Liu Mang for autographs and take photos. Even Arroyo, a national hero of the Puerto Rican team who has a place in the NBA, came to Liu Mang for a photo. He also bought Liu Mang's new No. 24 jersey and asked for an autograph.

"Ace, write down your first new jersey autograph."

"Why?"

"Isn't this your first new jersey autograph?"

"It seems to be..."

Liu Mang felt a little flattered. It was okay for New Zealand to ask for an autograph. At that time, Liu Mang was still in the sadness of being hurt by James, and he was not the protagonist of the game. The protagonists were the American team and New Zealand.

But this time, the opponents came to ask for autographs, and Liu Mang couldn't help but be excited to satisfy them all.

The game still needs to be played well. Arroyo and his teammates tried to make something happen, at least to cause some trouble to the Chinese team.

Unfortunately, Yao Ming played a game with Puerto Rico before, and this time he was more experienced. He got whatever he wanted in the interior, played for 33 minutes and easily scored 37 points and 8 rebounds, and got back the ten points he missed in the last game against Serbia. His average of 25.5 points per game surpassed Nowitzki's average of 24 points and Liu Mang's average of 24.5 points per game, dominating the World Championship scoring list.

Liu Mang resumed his passing-based style of play, allowing his teammates to find more feelings, and scored 15 points, 8 assists, 5 rebounds and 2 blocks, helping the Chinese team to beat Puerto Rico 92-79 and advance to the semifinals!

Yao Ming may become the second World Championship scoring champion in the history of the Chinese team in this World Championship!

The last time a Chinese player won the World Championship scoring champion was in the 1970s in the 8th Basketball World Championship in 1978.

Coach Zhang is quite ruthless. In addition to being the scoring champion in the 1978 World Championships, he also won the total scoring champion, which no player on the final team had won, after playing only 6 games. He averaged 25.3 points per game and scored a total of 152 points, which are all records for the Chinese team in the World Championships.

However, Yao Ming has played six games now, averaging 25.5 points per game, which has exceeded the World Championships scoring average and total scoring records of Chinese national team players held by Coach Zhang! Yao Ming scored 153 points in six games. If Nowitzki wins the first qualifying game and plays another qualifying game, he may exceed this score. Liu Mang plays with Yao Ming, and most of the time he learns from the same player No. 24. There is an epic monster with an international offensive rating of 102. Of course, give the ball to the center! Otherwise, how can we win the championship.

If necessary, Liu Mang may overtake, if not, Yao Ming will be the scoring champion.

However, in the match against Puerto Rico, Yao Ming forced a dunk at the last moment, raising the total score to 153 points, becoming the first player in the history of the Chinese team in the World Championships.

…

"Coach Zhang, your record was broken by Dayao again." Liu Mang joked.

It is obvious that Yao Ming did it on purpose... In the end, he was double-teamed, but he swung his arm to knock the opponent away and dunked, raising his single-game score to 37 points.

After the match against Puerto Rico, the Chinese team went to the Sendai National Stadium in Japan after a restorative massage and had a nutritious meal. At 7 o'clock, there was a match between Spain and Turkey, and they came to the sidelines to watch the game.

The opponent in the semi-finals is still uncertain, and the winners of the remaining three quarter-finals are possible.

The last thing the Chinese team wants to face is Spain and Argentina, these two opponents are too difficult to play.

Yao Ming pretended not to understand what Liu Mang said, and stood up to chat with his new teammate Gasol. The two-meter-tall coach Zhang showed a sad look... Yao Ming felt like he had done something that angered the heavens and the people.

Gasol felt that his luck had turned this year!

Argentina is not as strong as it was two years ago. Although it is still very strong, it can be seen in the group stage that it does not have such a strong dominance in international competitions.

As for the US team... they stumbled in the group stage, and had the lowest net score among the four countries that ranked first in the group stage. It also broke the record for the lowest net score of the US team in the group stage after NBA players participated in the World Championships. Even when they lost badly in 2002, they still won a big victory in the group stage.

As for the quarterfinals against New Zealand... the other three teams that finished first in the group stage could have easily done it.

Gasol feels that he has a chance to win the world championship!

And a new chapter has been opened in his NBA career.

Looking at Yao Ming in front of him, Gasol is so excited. This will be the man behind him in the future! Moreover, there is another strong man on the outside! He will not be bullied anymore!

Facing Liu Mang from the same class, Gasol can finally say that he is a player of a strong team!

In addition to the Chinese team, the three favorite teams to win the championship, the United States, Argentina, and Greece, also came to watch the game. Gasol brought his brother and prepared to show his strength in front of these people!

The star player of the Turkish team, Hedo Turkoglu, looked at his sister-in-law's unsatisfied posture. Facing this man who is known as the strongest in the World Championships, he really wanted to shout out the iconic language of this city and ask Gasol not to get close to him.

Turkoglu is very sad. He is a power forward! He is 2.08 meters tall and is the second tallest player on the Turkish team. He played against Nowitzki two days ago and played against Gasol today...

After the game started, the thirsty sister-in-law pressed Turkoglu to beat him...

The strength of the Spanish team really put a lot of pressure on the other four favorite teams to win the championship! Pau Gasol and Marc Gasol, this inside combination is somewhat unsolvable, quite like the combination of Yao Ming and Gasol that the Lakers now have.

Liu Mang looked at Gasol's ability value of 100 in the international arena of the strongest FIBA ​​rules, which was so painful.

But my sister-in-law's younger brother, the brother-in-law, was eye-catching, tough and skillful...

There are still two chapters before get off work~
