Chapter 1289 1288. The Semi-Finals Are Out, Against the United States! (7/10 Asking for Double Monthly Tickets!)
Chapter 1289 1288. The semi-finals are out, fight against the United States! (710 please double monthly pass!)
125 to 100, the Spanish team slaughtered Türkiye with a 25-point difference.
Teams with technical skills have higher scores. It's not that the strong team scores higher, but that both teams score higher.
The Spanish team is an example of a technical team, competing with the Argentinian performers.
The Turkish team is also very technical. The three tallest players in Turkey, Ilyasova, Erdovar, and Turkoglu, are all technical players. Among them, Erdovar had a chance to enter the NBA in the 1990s. Unfortunately, he was hindered by the international situation. He is now 36 years old, but he is still a good shooter and point guard in the international arena. Together with the Bucks' backup forward Ilyasova and the Magic's backup forward Turkoglu, he helps Turkey advanced to the quarterfinals.
The game played by two teams with excellent skills is very interesting to watch. If you ignore the point difference, the game between the two teams is really very interesting to watch.
Gasol had 19 points, 14 rebounds and 11 assists, his first triple-double of this World Championship.
Liu Mang looked at Gasol's triple-double and felt that Gasol was not doing his job as an inside player with a part-time job! Run and pass the ball!
Currently, Liu Mang ranks first in the assists list with 8.5 assists per game, and Gasol ranks second with 6.5 assists per game after this game.
Gasol's statistics are mediocre. He only had 4 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists in 29 minutes. His awareness of positioning and his tacit understanding of helping Gasol organize his offense are like brothers.
"Huh?" Liu Mang looked at Gasol and Gasol Jr. hugging each other to celebrate reaching the semi-finals, and suddenly thought of something...
Isn't there a lack of high-position support players?
The summer of 2006 was a crazy offseason, and it was also a relatively regrettable offseason for the Eagles. Although they had accumulated a lot of potential stocks and could start saving money while competing for the championship, Liu Mang still had to be the core supporter at the high position. Come.
Stars are not easy to acquire, and I have also received a salary increase. The team's space can only be manipulated through draft picks in the future.
The ordinary ones are looked down upon, the powerful ones are not willing to be given.
Of course, what he wants most are two top power forwards of his own generation, but one is from the Celtics and the other is from the Lakers.
But... isn't there a ready-made one?
We must get ahead of the Lakers with Gasol and grab him next year!

The Chinese team and the Spanish team advanced to the semi-finals. On August 30, the games between the American team and the French team, the Argentine team and the Greek team began.
The fight between the French team and the Italian team has a very bad impact. Although blood and confrontation are needed in the stadium, fighting will always affect some people's views on team sports and will inevitably affect the development of basketball. The penalties imposed by FIBA are also very serious. Seriously, a full 6 members of the French team have been suspended, which means there are only 6 players left to play...
You don’t even have to watch the six-man France beat the strong United States... The American team couldn’t keep up their spirits, 93 to 70. It was a completely unspectacular game. This was a match between the two most popular teams, the United States and China. For the first time, tickets for the World Championships in Japan were not sold out.
However, the game between Argentina and Greece at the Sendai National Stadium in the evening surprised the Chinese team who came to watch the game.
The Argentine team was overwhelmed by Greece!
Except for Spanoulis, almost none of the other Greek team players are known to the Chinese team.
But the Greek team won!
21-year-old Christantinos Sksenitis, a short power forward who was drafted by the Clippers in the second round in 2003 but has never been released by the Israeli League, plays like O'Neal.
At 2.06 meters and weighing 156 kilograms, he is even bigger than Eddy Curry. He played 24 minutes, made 11 of 11 shots, and 8 of 12 free throws. He also had a good touch and scored 30 points!
The Greek Shark's strength proves his dominance in the international arena.
77 to 98, the Argentine team suffered a tragic loss to the Greek team and stopped in the quarterfinals, breaking the biggest upset of this World Championship.
"Dayao, can you handle this guy?" Liu Mang asked Yao Ming, looking at Ginobili who lost a few hairs after being frightened by the Greek shark.
"No...it's okay, leave it to me." Yao Ming was also surprised by Sksenitis' lateral movement ability.
Liu Mang and Yao Ming analyzed how the Greek team would deal with it, focusing on their confrontation.
That figure is fatter than Eddie Curry, who gained weight in the Knicks. He looks like a meatball, but he is actually faster than Yao Ming!
In addition to being almost unable to jump, the confrontation ability, excellent movement, and soft feel brought by that huge body...
A 156kg player can actually do fast break dunks...and mid-range shots...it really makes people worry about the quality of the basket.
However, it is not without its weaknesses. In terms of height and wingspan, the Greek Shark is comparable to the future Blake Griffin, and his height is only 2.06 meters, and his wingspan is only 2.03 meters.
The Argentine team has a problem, that is, it only has one big center, and Ruben Volkovski, a 34-year-old veteran who can only play more than ten minutes in a game, faced Scorsese when he was on the court. Netis's limitations were relatively large. He could cover the air and prevent Skonitis from taking action. However, he was not physically strong enough. It was very tiring to fight against Skonitis, and he died in a few minutes.
There is also a lack of experience, and he was charged with two offensive fouls, which was a rampage. Argentina was purely frightened by his impact and fell into a foul crisis from the beginning of the first quarter. However, the FIBA rules only allow five fouls. , Argentina's inside line was forced to commit 6 unnecessary fouls throughout the game.
For example, the U.S. team did well in the group stage. They used Kwame Brown to defend and Howard to defend Sknoristi, giving Wade and Battier the opportunity to shoot the key shots...
When Liu Mang and Yao Ming analyzed this, they thought that the United States almost lost to Greece in the group stage...
Spain, the United States, Greece... By the semifinals, Liu Mang felt that the world had suddenly changed!
Liu Mang felt that this was probably also the mood of the other three countries... Maybe the other three countries wanted to meet their Chinese team, maybe...
…
…
The semi-finals of the World Championships are announced!
China, the United States, Spain, and Greece advance to the semi-finals!
The 31st is a rest day, but it is a rest day for the winners. The losers in the quarter-finals will have ranking matches at the same time as the semi-finals on the 31st and the 1st.
On the 31st, FIBA conducted a live draw, which was similar to a two-color ball lottery. The first two balls with national flags on them were for the afternoon game, and the two that did not come out were for the evening game. Against both sides, the situation of the semi-finals has come out.
At three o'clock in the afternoon on the 1st, the Chinese team will play the American team!
At 7pm, Spain plays Greece!
After easily reaching the group stage and two knockout rounds, what was supposed to come has finally come!
Liu Mang and his teammates watched the lottery results in the hotel, and the result was an American...
The other three among the top four are actually almost the same to the Chinese team... let's fight!
I’ll finish writing Chapter 8 before going home from work~ It’s probably around seven o’clock~ Please vote!
