On August 24, the 1998 Men¡¯s Basketball World Championship started.
The Greek team and the Angola team started the opening match of the World Championships.
The Greek team is in a group with Angola, New Zealand, and Brazil. Except for Brazil, the other two teams are weak teams, which is basically equivalent to a walk-off to the quarterfinals
There is no suspense. The Greek team slaughtered the Angola team 79-54 and easily won the opening game.
On August 25, the Chinese men¡¯s basketball team ushered in the match against the Australian team at the Monte Athletic Stadium in Piraeus, Athens.
The star of the Australian team is Luke Longley, who is currently playing for the Bulls.
From 1992 to 1996, the Chinese men's basketball team played against the Australian team three times, with 1 win and 2 losses. Each time they played fiercely, the Chinese men's basketball team had a clear advantage on the outside, but was always suppressed by the opponent on the inside. .
The semicircular FIBA ??three-point line specification with a distance of 6.25 meters also has no defensive three seconds, and there is no reasonable offensive collision area for NBA and A-A. With a big center like Luke Longley, the Australian team has too much advantage. , with it as the core to play zone defense, those European powerhouses will have a headache.
This time it was different. After Zhang Hao won the jump ball from Luke Longley, he directly started the three-point wave shooting mode more than one meter away from the three-point line.
Silver Fox sent out a starting lineup of Ah Dijiang, Hu Weidong, Zhang Hao, Gong Xiaobin, and Wang Zhizhi. Xiaoyao Wang and King were responsible for rushing down and defending. Hu Weidong scored suddenly, Ah Dijiang distributed the ball, and Zhang Hao fired from a distance.
When it came to the rotation stage, the combination of Li Xiaoyong, Hu Weidong, Li Nan, Liu Yudong, and Zhang Hao came on the court. The four major pitchers lined up and Zhang Hao broke through and scored.
But when the Chinese men¡¯s basketball team took advantage, it was not at this stage, but during the defensive counterattack from the second half of the second quarter to the first half of the third quarter!
Looking at Zhang Hao¡¯s more rough and wild defensive moves, the basic defensive skills, consciousness, and judgment still need to be improved, but the horizontal movement of the top arc defense is more fierce, the pressure is more tyrannical, and it seems that even the physical fitness has improved
"This damn kid, how long has it been since you made progress again?"
In the nearly 14 minutes of the game, the Chinese men¡¯s basketball team, led by Zhang Hao, beat the Australian team 23 to 11. At 8 minutes and 11 seconds of the third quarter, the Chinese men¡¯s basketball team led the Australian team by 17 points, 67 to 50!
In the last 11 minutes or so, Silver Fox sent Liu Yudong and Shan Tao to attack and defend the formation, while Wu Qinglong, Li Xiaoyong, and Sun Jun played on the outside. This lineup had no advantages and was still at a certain disadvantage, but it was not afraid of the fierce Australian team. The style of play is confrontational and dirty with big moves, Shan Tao's tall and fierce body is not good at squatting under the basket, and he is not timid at hand-to-hand combat.
In the end, the Chinese men¡¯s basketball team defeated the Australian team 78-69 and easily won its first victory in the World Championships!
Zhang Hao made his debut for the national team and scored 26 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists, 4 steals and 3 blocks in 28 minutes. He once scored 13 points, 2 steals and 2 blocks in nearly 14 minutes, helping the Chinese team defeat the Australian team.
Wang Zhizhi played 22 minutes and scored 9 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block. His performance was quite good.
Wang Zhizhi¡¯s outstanding performance has been witnessed by his national team teammates in last year¡¯s Asian Championships. It is not surprising to his teammates that he will continue to improve and become better this year.
But Zhang Hao is too strong!
Even Wang Zhizhi and Luke Longley are far behind Zhang Hao.
With Zhang Hao¡¯s statistics, apart from the defensive end, Hu Weidong can also play, but the efficiency will not be so high, and the lethality will not be so strong.
Another point is that Zhang Hao's rough, fierce and wanton defense gave them an unprecedented temperament in the Chinese men's basketball team - wild!
The Chinese men's basketball team fights very wildly and roughly, but the playing has nothing to do with roughness. But tonight, mainly in those ten minutes, the Chinese men's basketball team's defense was led astray by Zhang Hao. Fouls continued and the confrontation became more and more serious But Zhang Hao can adapt to that kind of defense and counterattack to score!
After the final whistle sounded, Zhang Hao received a system prompt that 15 days of life had arrived
¡°It¡¯s really useful when you¡¯re alone, gold level medal, hard bonus.
The national team¡¯s outside teammates are very strong and they provide a lot of support. If they were the outside players in the Yao Ming era in the original time and space, I guess they would be just as miserable.
"The difference in confrontation ability alone is very big. The current perimeter, Hu Ge weighs 95 kg, Sun Jun and Wu Qinglong weigh more than 100 kg, and their basic skills are solid"

The Lithuanian team is the seed team in Group B and ranks fourth in the world. , ranked only after the United States, Russia, and Yugoslavia, the tough style of play of the Eastern European teams caused huge troubles for the Chinese team, but the most important thing is the experience in the international arena.

¡¡
¡¡
The opponent in the quarterfinals is the United States team!
If the Chinese team can play the Greek team, the Chinese team definitely does not want to play the American team, Yugoslavia team, or Italian team.
But didn¡¯t they lose to Lithuania? They could only play against the No. 1 team in Group C. Fortunately, the American team actually defeated Yugoslavia. Playing against the American team would at least be much better than playing against Yugoslavia This was Zhang Hao¡¯s idea.
In the minds of most players of the Chinese team, the American team is a prehistoric beast!
After the group stage, we were given two days to prepare. On the afternoon of August 30, the Chinese men¡¯s basketball team began training.
Feeling the pressure from his teammates, Zhang Hao asked after a training session: "Why don't you seem very happy? The knockout rounds are about to come, so get excited."
After Zhang Hao finished speaking, Wang Zhizhi took out a pen and paper from nowhere, wrote the words "I'm very happy" and placed it next to Zhang Hao's head.
Hu Weidong responded: "Haozi, don't underestimate the US team. Although they did not send NBA players, their college students are also very good!"
"Very good? American college students are quite good," Zhang Hao pointed to Wang Zhizhi next to him: "This is the Associated Press All-American forward in the 1997-1998 season, fifth in the Wooden Award vote, and the ACCC Player of the Year."
