Chapter 1300 1299. Clear advantage! (810 please vote for me!)
The Spanish team's starting lineup is Jose Calderon, Rudy Fernandez, Alex Mburu, Felipe Reyes, and Marc Gasol.
The Spanish team actually does not have as many stars in the NBA as Argentina. They are mostly players from the Barcelona team. Gasol and Calderon are all players exported to the NBA by Barcelona, and they play well together.
Of course, compared to the Chinese team, Spain, which also has Navarro of the Cavaliers on the bench, still has many more NBA players.
However, La Liga is one of the strongest leagues in the European Basketball League. Not counting Calderon and Fernandez, the Chinese team’s players other than Liu Mang, Yao Ming, Wang Zhizhi, and Yi Jianlian also rely on Liu Mang’s Chinese players. The light buff is only slightly stronger than them.
Originally, with Gasol, the Spanish team had a much stronger advantage, but now, it's different!
In fact, what the media said is not unreasonable, but quite reasonable!
With Liu Mang, Yao Ming, Wang Zhizhi, who has a clear role in the Lakers and has partnered with Yao Ming for nearly seven or eight years, and other players who have greatly improved, the Chinese team is stronger and psychologically stronger than Spain without Gasol. All have advantages!
At seven o'clock, the game officially started. The referee blew the whistle to start the game and threw the ball into the air.
Yao Ming showed his talents again and won the jump ball from Marc Gasol!
With the Spanish team jumping the ball, Yao Ming has an advantage.
The Chinese team attacks first!
Yao Ming reached the inside and began to aggressively get in position for the ball.
The reason why Wang Zhizhi was put on the bench is to take advantage of Yao Ming's singles advantage in the paint!
Marc Gasol, who is now 2.10 meters tall and still not fully grown, weighs 117 kilograms, can be considered a heavy center, but compared with Yao Ming, the gap is too big!
Liu Mang lobbed the ball into Yao Ming's hands. When Reyes flanked Yao Ming, he fiercely knocked the two away and put the ball into the basket!
Without Gasol to interfere, Yao Ming dominates inside!
Mainly because in the previous games of this World Championship, the Chinese team's pitchers shot very accurately, giving Yao Ming a good singles opportunity!
Gasol was stunned on the first ball!
That feeling of being completely unstoppable is so terrifying!
Facing Yao Ming, who is 26 years old and entering his prime, and Gasol, who has not yet entered the NBA, it is difficult to stop Yao Ming without his brother!
The strongest defense of the Spanish team is inside, but without Gasol, the inside defense collapsed!
Fortunately, they were good at attacking. Looking back, Fernandez singled out Wang Shipeng and made a big throw from the mid-range... and he also scored!
The Spanish team did not give up because of the visible strength gap. Under the gaze of Gasol on the sidelines, the game started very actively.
When the Chinese team attacked, Yao Ming continued to attack!
The task Yao Ming received today was to penetrate the inside, preferably to knock down the opponent's Gasol.
The first ball was not guarded, and there was no obstacle. Gasol struggled to hold up Yao Ming who received the ball this time. He pushed Yao Ming very actively and his movements were very rough. Although Yao Ming turned around and missed the hook ball, But it caused a foul on Gasol!
Yao Ming went to the free throw line and made two free throws.
The Spanish team was shocked by Yao Ming's terrifying singles at the basket. Compared to Yao Ming, who was thin two years ago, Yao Ming is now a monster!
They finally understood why the US team was beaten by Yao Ming five times in the second quarter and scored 8 points. Monster is not enough to describe Yao Ming, he is simply a dinosaur!
It is true that Gasol is stronger than Yao Ming in the international arena, but Gasol is responsible for scoring, rebounding, assists, defense... all at once.
Yao Ming's rebounding ability in the international arena is not as good as that of Yi Jianlian, and he cannot compare with Gasol. He can only defend the basket defensively. There is a gap between him and Gasol in extending to the three-point line, and his passing ability is not as good as Gasol's. Let alone Gasol and Milicic, Yao Ming only averaged 7.8 rebounds per game in this World Championships, but in his one-on-one singles inside, no one else in the history of international basketball, probably except O'Neal, has Can compare with him! This is a super center who could average 25 points per game in the Rockets in the original time and space!
Yao Ming's inside singles are simply destroying other people's confidence!
Gasol was so ambitious that he wanted to beat Yao Ming when his brother was away, and then he was beaten to death.
With 10 points on 3-of-3 shooting, Yao Ming scored all the Chinese team's opening points.
10 points in 3 minutes!
The Spanish team made 3 of 6 shots in the beginning, 1 of 1 three-pointers, and scored 7 points. It was already an amazing performance. They played very well, but Yao Ming was too fierce. In the third minute of the game, Xiaojia scored. Sol was fouled twice by Yao Ming!
The Spanish team called a timeout!
With only the help of Felipe Reyes, who is 2.07 meters tall, Yao Ming only needs to protect the ball. He is very different from Gasol.
One is currently the number one player in the international arena, and the other is a substitute. The gap can be imagined.
The Spanish team looked at Yao Ming's honest and honest face, but they didn't expect it to be a Tyrannosaurus rex with a short head and hands!
Playing against the U.S. team requires Yao Ming to focus on containment, but against Spain without Gasol, Silver Fox Harris allows Yao Ming to fully demonstrate his strength as the No. 1 center in the NBA!
Seeing Yao Ming returning to the bench with a stern expression and clenching his fists, his expression almost made the Chinese fans at the scene shout at the top of their lungs!
Too domineering!
Gasol was beaten, and Yao Ming should rest. He replaced Wang Zhizhi and Yi Jianlian in the inside line. No one changed in the outside line. No one could defend Fernandez. Liu Mang had to defend Calderon's pick-and-roll offense. So, when Spain could not play high-post support and pick-and-roll without Gasol, Liu Mang had to start his own performance.
Finals, Yao Ming can't be the only one!
…
After the timeout, the Spanish team replaced Gasol with Joe Ibogaza, and the others did not change.
Calderon received the ball in the frontcourt and looked at Liu Mang on the three-point line. Calderon was at a loss because both Gasols were gone.
Although he is no longer a player of the Hawks, Calderon was Liu Mang's substitute for the past three years and knew how terrible Liu Mang was.
"Relax, don't be nervous, open your legs and I will just rub it... Ah, no, play slowly, let me see your strength, Jose." Liu Mang pressed towards Calderon.
Calderon listened to Liu Mang's dirty talk, but instead of getting angry, he felt like a bucket of cold water was poured over his head.
Calderon knew Liu Mang too well. If Liu Mang looked down on his opponent, he would not bother to talk to him. Only when Liu Mang was serious would he use words to tease his opponent.
But now... Calderon really hoped that Liu Mang looked down on him!
"Boss, you will be my boss all your life, and I am your most loyal substitute... Don't be like this..."
Let's continue after dinner~ The World Championships will end tonight, and the new season will start next~
