The Australian men's basketball team was not weak at this time in 2001. They had just finished fourth at the Sydney Olympics last year and were definitely a strong team in the world of basketball.
The New Zealand men¡¯s basketball team is not far behind either. Their performance in last year¡¯s Olympics was 11th, and the Chinese team was only 10th. The strength of the two sides is actually about the same.
The Chinese men¡¯s basketball team chose Australia and New Zealand as warm-up opponents before this Asian Championships, also to test how good the team can be when facing strong opponents.
There are a total of 4 warm-up matches this time. The match dates are July 3, 5, 7 and 9. The match locations are all Shanghai Luwan Stadium.
This is a comprehensive stadium that can hold basketball, volleyball, handball, badminton, table tennis, weightlifting, martial arts and other sports competitions, with a total of 3,500 seats.
Of course, this venue cannot be compared with the "Mercedes Benz Center Arena" that can accommodate 18,000 spectators in later generations, but given these conditions these days, there is no NBA-level indoor arena in China.
At 7 pm on July 3, the Chinese men¡¯s basketball team took a bus to the Luwan Stadium. They first performed some warm-up activities and then started playing.
First, Barter made a powerful and heavy two-handed dunk, and then Wang Zhizhi made another one-handed split.
The Australian men¡¯s basketball team was also warming up on the other side of the court. Seeing this situation, they were obviously unconvinced, so they also started a dunk performance.
Especially the shooting guard Sam McKinen, who is 197cm tall. He came up with a very difficult turn and back dunk, which immediately caused a burst of exclamation from the fans at the scene.
Hu Weidong threw the ball to Wang Dalin and said: "Dalin, come here too and give them some color!"
"If he could be two or three years younger, Hu Weidong would have gone up and dunked on him. I think he was also famous as a spring man back then, otherwise he would not have been nicknamed "Chinese Jordan".
But now that he is 31 years old, it is not difficult to dunk a simple dunk, but he is obviously unable to perform fancy dunks Now is the time to compete for face!
Wang Dalin nodded after receiving the ball, then retreated behind the center circle before starting to run. After a few strides into the three-point line, the heel of his left foot stepped on the free throw line and flew into the air
"Clang!"
As his slender body flew through the entire three-second zone, he raised his arms and dunked the ball into the basket.
This dunk is very simple, but the flying distance is really far.
Wang Dalin¡¯s jumping is pretty good among big men, but he still can¡¯t compare with flying men like Kobe and Carter. He mainly relied on his long wingspan to barely slam the ball in. If he had jumped a few centimeters further away, he would have made a fool of himself on the spot.
Don't doubt why Wang Dalin's 73cm jumping ability can perform difficult actions such as "free throw line dunk". In fact, as long as you have enough height and a certain jumping ability, a relatively light body, and long enough arms, you can complete " "Free throw line dunk" is not as difficult as everyone thinks.
Just like Ibaka in later generations, his height and wingspan are not as good as Wang Dalin, and his weight is also larger. He performed this action in the dunk contest.
His jumping ability is indeed slightly better than the current Wang Dalin, but Wang Dalin also has advantages in height, wingspan and weight, so it is not surprising that he can dunk like this.
This dunk technique shocked everyone, and the Australian male basketball players were dumbfounded When did yellow people become so good at jumping?
Although Australia has many players playing in the NBA in later generations, in fact they did not have any NBA players during this period. The future No. 1 pick in the draft, Bogut is still a high school student now!
Following Wang Dalin's wonderful dunk performance, the audience suddenly burst into warm applause and cheers. Just in the front row of the half-time auditorium where the Chinese men's basketball team was warming up, a girl shouted at the top of her lungs: "Wang Dalin, I love you!"
This was such a loud sound that the players on the field could still hear it clearly in such a noisy scene. Wang Dalin was a little confused. Hu Weidong patted him on the shoulder and said with a joking smile: "Dalin, you just returned to China a few days ago. Got a girlfriend?¡±
Wang Zhizhi also came over and smiled: "Dalin, look the girl who said I love you is quite beautiful!"
Wang Dalin also saw the beauty in the audience, she was indeed quite beautiful Nonsense! Can it not be beautiful? That is the future "Miss World" champion!
Others don¡¯t recognize itNot enough - I can score more than ten or twenty points in a single game with NBA's defensive intensity for a long time. With the Australians' defensive skills of only making small moves, it's really not difficult to score!
Isn¡¯t it just a small move?
Who hasn¡¯t seen this before?
I have been around Bruce Bowen for a long time, and I have long been tired of these tricks of yours!
There were many NBA scouts in the audience, and Wang Zhizhi was naturally very excited. As soon as he came on the court, he continued to attack with the ball, beating the opponent's center Halliwell.
One thing to say is that during this period, Wang Zhizhi's inside offensive skills were indeed at a very high level. As long as the opponent was not the type of player who always competes with you physically and mentally, he would usually be able to play with ease.
????????????????????????????????????? But when it comes to players who are strong and not slow, he will have a hard time playing or his physical strength is weak.
After Wang Zhizhi made 3 of 5 shots and scored 6 points, Wang Dalin finally took a shot from the top of the three-point arc. The ball passed through the basket smoothly, creating a white "splash".
The audience suddenly erupted in noise, and Zhang Zilin shouted loudly: "Wang Dalin, good job!"
Wang Dalin smiled slightly and made a cool salute in the direction of Zhang Zilin on the stand. The audience immediately cheered and applauded even more enthusiastically.
"This kid! Didn't he just score a three-pointer? Is it that exaggerated?" Liu Yudong and Hu Weidong looked at each other. They were both "veterans over thirty years old" and really couldn't understand today's young people.
Wang Dalin actively returned to defense, taking advantage of the opponent's small forward Sindel just catching the ball, using his long arm to knock the ball out of his hand, and then dribbled toward the frontcourt like lightning.
Sindel was so frightened that he immediately chased after him, but how could he catch up with Wang Dalin?
He is allowed to play small forward because he is tall, but he is a pure power forward after all, weighing up to 115kg, and his speed is much slower than Wang Dalin, and Wang Dalin started earlier than him.
Wang Dalin rushed to the frontcourt, and as soon as he stepped inside the free throw line, he flew into the air and performed a one-handed chop after gliding. His movements were extremely elegant.
The fans in the audience never took a break from the beginning of the game and kept applauding, cheering and screaming. They did not expect that the Chinese men's basketball team was so strong and could beat the fourth place in the Olympics to such a miserable state. .
Coach Gore called two timeouts just halfway through the first quarter, but the situation did not improve at all after the timeouts, and the Australian team was always at a disadvantage.
¡°In terms of strength, the Chinese men¡¯s basketball team is not much better than the Australian team.
It should be said that during this period, except for the United States team, the top ten teams in the entire world basketball world were all about the same strength, and no one was much better than the other.
But sometimes the outcome of a game is not just based on the comparison of strength. For example, in this game the atmosphere at home is also very important.
Amid the cheers and cheers of the home fans, the Chinese men¡¯s basketball team played 120% of its strength, while the Australian team only played 80%.
This is why some weak teams in the NBA have poor records, but they can often win at home This is not entirely a matter of strength!
After halftime, the Chinese team led the Australian team by 11 points 48:37.
The double-digit point difference was opened at halftime, and the opponent was a world-class team. The confidence of the Chinese team players was fully demonstrated.
Coach Wang Fei was a bit dumbfounded.
He originally wanted to find out more about the current team¡¯s problems against the Australian team, and Wang Dalin had only participated in three team training sessions when he came back. He wanted to take this opportunity to let Wang Dalin get a good run-in with his teammates.
The result was good. The Chinese team's problems were not found, and Wang Dalin cooperated with his teammates as soon as he came on the field, as if he had been training together for several months. On the contrary, it was the Australian team that had a lot of problems.
After halftime, coach Wang Fei put Wang Dalin on the bench He had no choice but to let Wang Dalin continue to play in the second half. This warm-up match would be in vain.
The warm-up matchis mainly to expose problems. Is it so important whether we win or not? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
