904 Chinese team holding their heads high
"There is only hope left, but hope is not despair" - Hekara Sports News
"Gasol Calderon appears in Türkiye, hoping that Spain will continue bravely" - Turkish Star
"The inside turret has become a super blacksmith, how can I take over my brother's stance with such a touch?" - "Philadelphia Sentinel": "Facing with Chamberlain, Gasol, who is highly trusted, showed his immatureness and immaturity. Although he did a great job in restricting Chamberlain in the NHA before, we have to see that the Grizzlies have enough excellent inside, and Gasol was helping at that time.
Today, Gasol Jr. finally lost his helper, and he had to take charge of Chamberlain alone. Then, he saw the horror of the NHA king. In the whole game, he only scored 6 mobile phones, but only scored 2 goals, and scored 6 points and 6 rebounds.
The cold feel is not the biggest problem. More of the problem is his timing. When Chamberlain chose to break through, he really shouldn't have shown off his defense. We needless to say that he became the biggest laughing stock in the World Championships.
This game should have made him realize that he is still far behind Gasol.
"Nash's successor hit a record high of 19 points, but his efficiency is sluggish, and he becomes a cancer" - Minnesota Weekly: "To this World Championships, Golden Boy Rubio, who is regarded as the new leader of the European basketball outside, averaged 14 points, B6 rebounds and 6B assists per game. In terms of data alone, he is already a top defender, but after watching the game, he can find that his influence on the game is far from reaching a super defender.
Especially from the process of the game with the Chinese men's basketball team yesterday, although Rubio is good, there are still many things he needs to make progress, especially intent on strengthening his offensive enthusiasm. Of course, he would better improve his shooting percentage.
In the whole game, he made the highest 15 times in this World Championships, and only scored 14 points. His efficiency of 6 of 15 shots was really hard to say. He also made mistakes and 4 fouls in the whole game. When the team needed him, he kept hesitating and hesitating, and when he was not in line, he started to take frequent moves again..."
The post-match report is naturally one-sided when it comes to the Chinese men's basketball team and the Spanish team. The Chinese men's basketball team naturally flatters. For the Spanish team, the media raised their dog-beating sticks to hit the dog. Even the domestic Spanish media couldn't stand it and accused the Spanish men's basketball team of their game attitude.
The fans were very dissatisfied. The Spanish men's basketball team lost the fighting spirit to fight to the end at the beginning. This cannot be blamed on the fans. They were not on the scene, but watched through TV.
The small screen of the TV can weaken a lot of things, such as the shock brought by real competitions.
The moment when Chamberlain shook Gasol and then flew over him, the fans on the scene were shocked. They thought the god of death had arrived, and the fans in front of the TV only saw a wonderful action. They could not feel the despair that the fans on the scene felt.
In this way, let alone the players who faced Chamberlain, the Spanish team did not collapse at the time and was already well-trained.
Spain's famous program "Sleepless Night in Spain" conducted an emergency investigation, which asked fans to rate the players.
During the interview, Gasol Gran was quite confident. He said: "I think our team must be able to defend the title. In fact, this time, as a close audience with the team, but failed to play, I felt very uncomfortable. I was happy to join the national team in 2ll, but I can't guarantee it for the time being."
When the reporter asked Gasol to choose one of the two games in the Olympics and World Championships, Gasol replied: "To be honest, I don't know. I have played many high-level games. I have very high requirements for myself and I can't tolerate bad games. I have never thought about when to retire now. I hope I can participate in both competitions in the past two competitions.
Gasol is now full of resentment towards the Lakers uniform group. It is the latter's explicit ban that he failed to get the opportunity to go to the World Championships with the team, and could only be a fan and commentator in the stands.
In fact, this is an exception. The reason why Gasol accepted the Lakers' request at the beginning was because the Spanish team had Calderon at that time. Who knew that the boss would pull up his leg muscles in the warm-up match? The two were the core of the Spanish men's basketball team. Both of them were not there, so it was natural for the team to lose.
What Gasol thought was that if he could play, the Spanish team would not lose to Lithuania in the group stage. Even if he met the Chinese men's basketball team in the knockout stage, he might not be able to compete.
The failure of the Spanish men's basketball team this time is that Gasol Jr.'s confidence and combat effectiveness were destroyed by Chamberlain, resulting in a significant reduction in the inside strength.
The results of the semi-finals were released, and in the end, the first place in the four groups entered the semi-finals. No team became a dark horse and went to the end. However, Serbia was already a dark horse, and no one could have thought that this new army could reach today.
In this way, what remains are the 6B ranking matches and the more important two semi-finals.
After the qualifying match in the semi-finals, the Spanish team completely failed. In the end, they lost to Argentina and only got the sixth place.
Spanish fans and media were so angry that Chamberlain watched the game at that time, and some fans actually raised banners and asked the Spanish men's basketball team to return home quickly, which made him feel very sorry for the Spanish men's basketball team.
In the game between Argentina and Spain, Scola was still everywhere in the game, scoring two-point and 1 rebound. Navarro was a spectator for 2 minutes expressionlessly, allowing Rudy Fernandez to support the team alone on the court, allocating his playing time to the younger Lure
In fact, whether it is Louis who is still relentless or Navarro who is starting to hand over the battle, his eyes are filled with loneliness at the moment when the bell rings for the five or sixth place battle ends - the journey of this World Championships is over, and how far is it from the end of the Latin double rule period?
At the 204 Athens Olympics, the Dream Team lost the Olympic gold medal for the first time. By the 26th Beijing Olympics, the Dream Team achieved redemption. In addition, since 1994, the United States has lost the championship for many years. In the past decade of the new century, the weakness of the Dream Team and the complete collapse of the former Yugoslavia left a blank period in the world basketball world.
The new king arrived as scheduled, Spain and Argentina, two forces from Europe and South America, swept the basketball world and infected every audience, just like the enthusiastic Latin dance.
They also use the European basketball arena as the cradle of talents, and also send their best players to the NH for further studies. They also dominate the teamwork and personal art to the extreme. The Spanish and Argentine men's basketball teams have been moving forward step by step.
At the beginning of this century, Spain was led by Gasol, Navarro and Gabayosa, and began to gain a foothold in the international arena. Then rising stars such as Calderon and Fernandez made this lineup perfect. Spain's red is sweeping the basketball world with a prairie fire; while Argentina is led by Obotto, Scola, Nosioni, Sanchez and Ginobili, the starting five tigers. Their offense and defense are like a tide, pouring into the world's sight.
With blue as tide, mercury pouring out the ground, and a closely-connected team defense, they became the first team in history to defeat the Dream Team in two years of the World Championships, winning silver medals in one fell swoop. Two years later, on the Aegean Sea, they let the Dream Team lose again in the semi-finals. They made the Italians bow their heads in the finals and reached the top of the world in Athens in 204.
As red as fire, Spain walked away from Europe and began to sweep the world. They first defeated Argentina and Greece in the 2UU World Championships, laughed to the end, and then won bronze medals at the 207 European Championships and returned home. At the 26-year Olympics, they met the most powerful Mengba team after Mengyi and played the highest level of confrontation. They were still honored even though they lost. In the summer of 209, they had a long-cherished wish in Poland and won the first European Championship in history.
After the game, Scola sighed: "We thought we would compete with the Spanish team in the finals, but we had never thought that we would meet in the battle for fifth place."
This game, which has become a waste in the eyes of fans, actually has some meaning. This is the last struggle of the two golden generations of Spain and Argentina.
Even though Espanyol and Argentinians can list many "ifs" to explain and argue that they "wouldn't be so down and out". The first core of both sides, Ginobili and Gasol, both longed to relax their tired bodies for years of battles and bid farewell to the World Championships. Before the game, the two teams were blocked by injuries. Nosioni temporarily announced his withdrawal from the World Championships before the game, and Calderon missed the World Championships due to injury.
But the eternal fact is: Feng Shui takes turns and the emperor takes turns. Now the world basketball world is no longer the world basketball world they recall.
