Chapter 178 Breakthrough Progress
Since the group match with the Chinese team, Kobe has been thinking about how to break multiple screens.He knew that if he couldn't solve this problem, he had to use his personal strength perfectly to win.
He called Jason Kidd and discussed it together.Although there are certain effective methods, it is still difficult to organize an effective tactical system due to time constraints and heavy tasks.
"Miscalculated, we should bring more organizers this time." The old coach K also realized the weakness of the lack of organizers in the lineup.This was improved in the BJ Olympics, which brought Kidd, Paul and Deron Williams.
The schedule waits for no one, they can only let go of their worries and concentrate on the World Championships.
The decline in the group stage made American fans very worried about the development of this dream team.
The Chinese team achieved the first record in the group for the first time, which made the domestic public opinion soar to the limit.Gao Fei's name topped the search list, even surpassing all the entertainment stars.
The turmoil of the outside world was shielded by Gao Fei at a position far away from him.The method is very simple, just don't watch the news.
Goofy bought a copy of Shonen Jump Weekly, found the title page, and saw his cartoon image published on it.The accompanying text is very in the second style, the imperial dragon.
"It smells like that." Gao Fei couldn't help laughing.
This illustration shows him in his national team jersey, laying up with one hand, looking stretched and flowing.Inoue's skills in drawing and moving comics come alive on paper.
Jingle Bell!
Gao Fei picked up the phone, saw that it was Inoue calling, and immediately connected.
There was a translator on the opposite side, who translated Inoue's words to Gao Fei, agreed on a place, and presented him with a signed and drawn poster.
Gao Fei told the team leader, took a translator who understood Japanese, and went to the cafe where we met last time.
Inoue drew a total of six posters, corresponding to Gao Fei's favorite number.Each is signed on the top and mounted in a high-end picture frame.
The value of this set of self-signed works is more expensive than the two pairs of self-signed sneakers sent by Gao Fei.
"Thank you, I like this gift very much." Gao Fei could only express his emotions in the most common way of gratitude.
"Japan has been eliminated. I hope you can go further on behalf of Asian basketball." Inoue believes that the Chinese men's basketball team is the dominant player in Asia and should be respected.
Gao Fei properly put away the six posters and brought them back to the away hotel.Pack up your mood and focus on preparing for the [-]-to-[-] game.
Serbia and Montenegro did not play well in the group stage, ranking fourth in Group B.They have to face the first Chinese team in Group A.
Taylor had to write songs with Liz Rose during the day, was in a state of fatigue, set the alarm clock, and prepared to stay up late to watch the Chinese men's basketball game.
Ring Ring Ring!
The sound of the alarm clock was extremely loud in the middle of the night, and Taylor reached out and patted it, interrupting the crisp shout.
Two hours later, Tyler was awakened by the cat that had climbed onto the bed.
She tried her best to open her sleepy eyes, turned on the light in the room, and squinted at the alarm clock on the desk.It didn't know when it became lying down.
"Oops, I didn't watch the game." The time on the alarm clock was already five o'clock in the morning.This also means that it is already night in Japan.
She turned on the TV, found ESPN, which reported the most comprehensive sports, and looked for news about the Chinese men's basketball team.
A picture news came into Taylor's sight, and the title of the accompanying text was China 77-72 Serbia and Montenegro!
"Eliminated?" Taylor was taken aback, and when he realized that 77 was bigger than 72, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.After being frightened by her "mistake", she completely got rid of fatigue and picked up her mobile phone to call Gao Fei.
"Hello, you're awake!" Gao Fei's magnetic voice came through the receiver of the phone, feeling very friendly.
"Have you advanced to the quarterfinals?" Taylor yawned.
"There will be a match in three days, and there are two days to adjust." Gao Fei briefly introduced the situation, "How is your side?"
Taylor held the cat in his hand and said, "It's all okay, I just miss you a little."
"In less than ten days, I will return to the United States." Something in Gao Fei's heart was touched.He and Taylor get together a lot, but perhaps that's why there's no room for arguing.
They are like a natural match, one confident and composed, the other brilliant.
"I wish time would pass faster."
This is also Goofy's idea.
Since there were two days of rest before the eighth round, Jonas organized two in-team training sessions.The drills are still pick-and-rolls and screens. With Du Feng entering the rotation, the number of rotations has reached 11.
Zhang Songtao, the only one who did not play, trained with the team without any slack.
There are only 12 places in the national team, and being able to enter the team already represents the recognition of the coaching staff.As for playing time, it is impossible for everyone to have the opportunity to shine on the field.This is the unspoken rule of the game, and it also applies to life.
Gao Fei took a short break, walked to Zhang Songtao, and asked with a smile, "Songtao, how do you feel?"
Zhang Songtao admired Gao Fei very much, and had a sense of respect for him, and replied: "Not bad."
"Don't hold it. It actually feels bad, doesn't it?" Gao Fei had a stage where he couldn't dominate the game for a long time, and he knew that feeling.It's like a product that doesn't look good in the market, and basically no one cares about it.
Zhang Songtao replied frankly: "Actually, a little bit. All the players in the team have played, but I haven't had a chance yet. I feel that I am too bad." After finishing speaking, he couldn't help sighing.
Gao Fei squeezed Zhang Songtao's shoulders and said, "The most common people in this world are ordinary people. You have been selected for the national team, and you have accomplished a goal that hundreds of thousands of basketball players may never achieve in their lifetime. Compared with us, you are still firmly in the forefront of basketball. They are obviously stronger on the road."
After hearing Gao Fei's words, Zhang Songtao untied the knot in his heart: "Yes. I'm lucky enough."
"Be positive, shake the towel harder." Seeing Zhang Songtao get rid of his depression, Gao Fei smiled and relieved him.
Zhang Songtao was in a good mood, and asked with a smile, "Do you work as hard as you do?"
"It's not impossible."
The balance between training preparations and rest adjustments is up to the players themselves to find.Since most of the national team are professional players who often play games, they are very familiar with these.
The opponent of the men's basketball team is the South American powerhouse Argentina, the champion of the 2004 Athens Olympic Games.The core player is Ginobili, and Scola at the power forward position also has a good combat power.
The next three games will be blood-licking tough battles, and if you are not careful, you will overturn.There is still a 4-8 qualifying battle in the World Championships, but that will be meaningless.
Gao Fei specifically told Taylor not to stay up late to watch the game.No matter what the result is, you will definitely be able to see it in the daytime the next day, and there is no need to exhaust your body.
Ginobili has played in Europe and is very familiar with team basketball.What really scares him is the Mingzhi team and Gao Fei, a difficult athlete.
No matter what happens, time will never stop moving forward.
Gao Fei sat in the locker room, only thinking about the upcoming quarter-finals.He has already put on a red jersey, a T-shirt outside, and a line of small words written with a signature pen on the sneakers-effort is a talent.
This is the feeling he recalled after talking with Zhang Songtao.
The intertwining of dreams and reality in his youth made him cherish the opportunity to stand on the court even more.No matter who the opponent is, he will try his best to win, because that is the meaning of his existence.
Li Nan is the captain of the men's basketball team. He is responsible for his shoulders. He called his teammates together for pre-match mobilization: "Our best result in the World Championships is No.8, which dates back to 1994. In 12 years, we have achieved I have never reached this height. Today is expected to break through, get rid of the long-term weakness, don't hold back, don't worry, and play the spirit of the men's basketball team."
Gao Fei stretched out his right hand and cast the group soul together with his teammates.The true essence of team sports, perfectly displayed in the locker room.
"Come on!" Dayao led the way, walked out of the locker room, and entered the overcrowded Tokyo Gymnasium.
It can accommodate [-] spectators. Although it is not comparable to the Saitama Super Arena at the NBA level, it is still quite large.
Gao Fei entered the stadium, thinking that he had returned to the Shougang Stadium in a trance.There are countless small red flags on both sides of the stands, and fans wearing T-shirts supporting the national team can be seen everywhere.
"Today is a bit of a home game." Dayao said with a smile.
"I hope there will be a good result. So many people came to watch the game, I feel sorry for them if they can't play well."
Players from both sides began to shoot and warm up.
Gao Fei has an excellent sense of the ball, and his movements from dribbling, receiving the ball to shooting are done in one go, which is indescribably comfortable.
"Just watching Gao Fei play, I can watch it all day." The female fans sitting on the sidelines watching the game couldn't help thinking.
The picturesque playing style and face really brought Gao Fei a lot of benefits.Even in Tokyo, he still received host-level treatment.
Players from both sides simply played, took off their warm-up suits, and prepared to start the quarter-finals.
Gao Fei stretched his legs, first high-fived the three referees and the opponent players, and then stood in the backcourt of the Chinese team.
Before Dayao and opposing center Oberto (208CM) jumped the ball, the sports channel released the starting lineups of both sides.
Chinese team: Gao Fei, Wang Shipeng, Zhu Fangyu, Big Zhi, Dayao!
Argentina: Prigioni, Ginobili, Delfino, Scola, Oberto!
"Both centers jump the ball in the middle circle, and the game begins!" Yang Jian explained the game.
Director Zhang continued to serve as the guest commentator.
Gao Fei received the flying basketball, dribbled the ball with his right hand, and continued to lead the half court in a solid rhythm.
The Argentine men's basketball team watched the videos of all six games of the Chinese men's basketball team. According to the arrangement, the defensive focus was given to Wang Shipeng and Zhu Fangyu.
The first offensive round has changed from the group stage and the previous knockout round.
Dayao received the ball in the low post and faced Oberto with a single defense.Hook your hand sideways, and test the feel first.
clang!
Apparently the sight has not been found yet!
Oberto protected the rebound and immediately passed it to Ginobili.Their strategy is to push a fast pace and strive to abolish the deterrence of the twin towers.
Goofy is responsible for defending Ginobili and reducing the delay of the center of gravity.For him, this is really a piece of cake.
Ginobili doesn't stick the ball, passes to Prigioni, and breaks the defense with the pass.At least this, they do better than the US men's basketball team.
Prigioni also passed the ball as soon as he touched it, without stopping at all, and did not give the Chinese men's basketball team time to react.They believe that against a well-trained team, sometimes you have to rely on unconstrained creativity.
Delfino caught the ball while running, ignoring Zhu Fangyu who was chasing and defending.Use the three-pointer that the Chinese men's basketball team has shined in this tournament, and return it to him.
Do you think you are Murong Fu?
It really is!
Chinese team 0-3 Argentina!
The men's basketball players are very capable of execution. They don't care about the gains and losses of the last round. They run to the front court and wait for the position to attack.What they are good at is multiple screens. At this stage, it is impossible to replace them temporarily.
After all, the national team is formed by members of various clubs, and the tacit understanding is not enough, so it is difficult to play tactics well.
Dayao received the ball for the second time and told the Argentine coach in the most obvious way that the Chinese men's basketball team should focus on the inside.
There was a gap in Oberto's height, and when he looked up, he could only see Dayao's armpits.
Dayao made a layup with his left hand and scored!
2-3!
Cheers erupted at the scene!
"This is really like your home court." Ginobili said to Goofy.
Players will communicate on the court, especially before the fourth quarter, there will be more communication.
"It's close, fans can come here to watch the game." Gao Fei answered easily while returning to defense.
Ginobili didn't think about the main attack for the time being, and left it to Prigioni, who continued to use his free and unrestrained style of play to bring fans a unique experience.
Delfino received the pass, knocked it to Prigioni again, made a mid-range jumper, and shot with confidence!
There must be a style in blacksmithing!
Dayao got the rebound, waited for the defender to leave, and passed it to Gao Fei on the right.
The role of point guard is most obvious in the transition between fast and slow tempo.With the ball in their hands, there is basically no chaos.
Wang Shipeng and Zhu Fangyu were under intensive care and could not attack calmly like in the group stage.One ebbs and another, the threat in the penalty area has dropped a lot.
Dayao sits in the penalty area, which is even easier than in the NBA.He is at the age of 25, his playing time was limited earlier, his physical exertion was not serious, and he rested for another three days, like a vigorous worker, ready to present a wonderful performance.
Hit the textbook at a low position!
Oberto was like meeting the devil among angels, and was beaten by Yao. The scene was a bit like a college player beating a primary school student.
4-3!
"The American media often say that if the Chinese team has a defender who can stand on the world stage, Yao's power will be able to show." Yang Jian said, "The start of this game is the best proof."
Dayao clenched his fists in celebration and retreated to the backcourt as quickly as possible.
"This game must be won." Dayao wanted to break through the best result in the Men's Basketball World Championships, with the belief of winning, and did not want to have any regrets.
Oberto received the ball in the penalty area and used his feet to shake, thinking he got rid of Dayao's defense.
Wipe the board with your left hand!
"Yao Ming is not the only defender in the Chinese team!" Da Zhi jumped out from behind, touched the ball with his fingertips, and blocked the shot.
Gao Fei had already followed to the paint area, and he was overjoyed to receive a defensive rebound.
Ordinary defenders get the ball and quickly counterattack.The national team competition is different from the past. If you want to take advantage of it, you have to play steadily.
American team forward James is a player who prefers to study his opponents, hoping to succeed in the NBA.Gao Fei and the Lakers are obstacles, so he naturally wants to get more information.
The game on the TV screen is not as dull as other men's basketball games.The main reason is Argentina's creative cooperation.
"Argentina's ball still looks comfortable," James thought, "The Chinese men's basketball team plays well and is too formal." But he can understand that the game is about the great honor of the national team, and there is no room for mistakes.
In the first half of the game, the Chinese team was still in rotation with ten players.The amazing thing is that the balance of power is still maintained.
This is why the Chinese team can become so strong.
"How do you crack their [-]-man rotation?" James is a very smart player, trying to find past experience.
Suddenly, an aura appeared in his mind.He wrote it down and was going to discuss the strategy with old Coach K.
Argentina's main players played for more than 30 minutes and still maintained their vitality.This is the biggest difference between the top teams and the men's basketball team.
Gao Fei looked up at the scoreboard and found that there were only three and a half minutes left.
The fans at the scene felt nervous unconsciously.This is the closest the men's basketball team has come to the semi-finals of the World Championship. As long as it can end smoothly, it can create a new history.
Domestic men's basketball fans also feel nervous.They all pay attention to every move of the players, for fear of missing any details.
"Come on, if you kill Argentina, you will get the national team jersey." The diehard fans were full of expectations for the team and made a wish in their hearts.
Gao Fei passed the ball to Dayao.
Oberto was already very tired, but he gritted his teeth and persisted, withstood Yao's next game, trying to limit his opponent.
"Dawn is right in front of us, we can't return to darkness!" Dayao held his breath, his cheeks puffed up, just like his aura.
Strong play at the basket and a layup!
Chinese team 76-73 Argentina!
Just like in the beginning, Dayao clenched his fists and roared, venting the tension and excitement in his heart.
Gao Fei quickly ran over to limit the serve, interfered with Argentina, and did not give the opponent the possibility of a quick attack.
Oberto saw Ginobili, split the ball with both hands, and quickly gave it to his running teammates.
Ginobili has long flowing hair and runs with wind, as if using Rejoice.
There was a loophole in the national team's defense, which was discovered by Ginobili, and he quickly passed a long pass to Delfino.
Wang Shipeng ran over quickly, wanting to block the shot, saw the opponent play the ball, and realized that the defense was a bit broken.
Looking back, Scola wiped the board coolly and scored a layup!
76-75!
2 minutes and 58 seconds!
"Team China, come on! Team China, come on!"
The sound that is often heard in sports events sounded on the scene, giving the men's basketball players fighting in foreign lands a shot in the arm.
Argentina is stronger than expected, at least so far, it has not been able to end the suspense of the game.
Gao Fei slowly advanced with the ball, signaled his teammates to pull away, faced Ginobili's defense, and played singles with the ball.
This time is his acting time.
"Stand back, I'm going to start filling the cups." Gao Fei's demeanor and movements all revealed this kind of information.
Ginobili was active in defense, but the effect was not good. He tried to disrupt Gao Fei's dribbling rhythm, but was easily passed by.
Delfino scrambled to make up the defense, making sure there was a defender between Goofy and the backboard.
Wang Shipeng finally got a vacant seat.
I have been waiting for this opportunity for a whole year!
Gao Fei skillfully hit the ground and passed to Wang Shipeng in the right corner.
"It's over!" Ginobili hurriedly ran in that direction, but it was too late to stop him.
My three-point sword is like the flames of hell!
Wang Shipeng made a three-point gesture with his right hand and ran back gracefully.
The players all wore jerseys two sizes larger than they fit, and they looked very fluid on the run.Most players in this era wear it like this, with a V-neck jersey, the visual effect is very enjoyable.
79-75!
2 minutes and 35 seconds!
Ginobili pushed forward quickly, wanting to play again without getting a foothold.Only this time it didn't work.
Offensive performance can drive the defensive end.Wang Shipeng was extremely active and refused to give space to his opponent.
Four points is considered a relatively dangerous point difference in the international arena. We must find a way to narrow the gap to less than three points, so that we can hope for a comeback.
Ginobili is the Spurs player who plays desperate shots. He is no stranger to this situation.
Gao Fei didn't have time to react, and when he rushed over, the basketball had already soared into the sky!
Swish!
79-78!
2 minutes and 19 seconds!
After serving the ball, Jonas called a timeout.
"Guys, there are still 2 minutes left in the game, stay focused." Jonas first cheered up, and then said, "We still play steadily. We have the inside advantage, and we will play calmly. Come on!"
The players put their hands together, cheered and continued to return to the court.
Ah Lian and Sun Yue are both newcomers and have not been reused yet.They are a bit envious of Wang Shipeng and Zhu Fangyu, but as players on the same team, as long as the team can win, they will not compete for the chance to play.
The national team is a sacred place for domestic players.There is no utilitarianism here, and the overall goal is to do everything possible to win honor.
Gao Fei received the sideline ball from the back court and advanced slowly to let his teammates play steadily.
Ginobili lowered his center of gravity, leaned his upper body forward, and defended with the most standard posture.They are only one point behind and anything can happen.
"The knockout round is still different from the group stage. Argentina has a strong team background, and it is really not easy to play." Yang Jian said, "Argentina's play is very targeted, and many tactics are not easy to play."
"At this time, we play high and low positions. There is Dayao on the inside and Gao Fei on the outside. Wang Shipeng and Zhu Fangyu are in the corners." Director Zhang said. Good fight."
Gao Fei passed the ball to Da Zhi, and began to run without the ball, involving the defense.
Scola's defensive awareness was not in place, and he did not expect Da Zhi to attack personally.
Big Zhi high jumper!
Scola's defense is also a beat slower!
Swish!
81-78!
1 minutes and 57 seconds!
As the basketball bounces off the floor, time keeps ticking.
Ginobili received the serve, facing Gao Fei's delay, unable to bring up the rhythm.Play steadily and strive for a success rate.
Screening and pick-and-rolls are not exclusive to the Chinese men's basketball team. Any team can use this tactic to create opportunities.As a strong traditional basketball team, Argentina has used this tactic to the point of perfection.
Delfino used the screen to go to the corner, received the ball from Ginobili, turned around and shot a jumper!
The trust of teammates has been rewarded!
Swish!
81-81!
1 minutes and 37 seconds!
Gao Fei received the serve in the backcourt, looked at the scoreboard, and checked the remaining time.
Ginobili turned his head and looked behind him from the corner of his eye, and found that Da Zhi was raised, thinking that Gao Fei was about to start running without the ball again.
Inertial thinking killed him!
Gao Fei breaks through with the ball, just like a tiger that was teasing you, suddenly showing its fangs.
Caught off guard, Scola has already faced Goofy who broke through.
The left hand tosses the ball in the body against the center, with a stable feel and a perfect display.
Hit the basket!
beep!
The referee made a valid gesture for the goal, not only that, but also gave Gao Fei an additional penalty.
Dayao walked over and patted Gao Fei's chest vigorously. Fortunately, he had a sweater, otherwise he might have suffered internal injuries.
"Take it easy, if you get injured, you won't be able to play." Gao Fei joked with Dayao, then high-fived each teammate and stood at the free throw line.
Goofy dribbles three times, catches his breath, stops the ball, and then throws it.
The basketball spins and hits the net with precision!
84-81!
1 minutes and 13 seconds!
Ginobili received the serve from the backcourt and found that the time was passing quickly, so he didn't dare to push it too far, and quickly pushed across the half court.
The Argentine men's basketball team played the same tactics as the previous round, and Delfino received the ball to end it.
clang!
The sound of basketball hitting the iron was amplified through the loudspeaker and clearly transmitted to the ears of the fans at the scene.
The Argentine fans lowered their heads in frustration, while the Chinese fans excitedly waved small national flags to cheer for the men's basketball players who protected the rebound.
Gao Fei was not in a hurry to attack, and the top of the arc suppressed time, ensuring that there was only one chance for Argentina to attack.
Ginobili tries to steal but can't disrupt the dribble.
Gao Fei passed the ball and started running without the ball again.
Da Zhi hit a shot last time, chose to believe in himself, and shot the middle distance again!
Scola never dreamed that in the last few rounds, his defense would be continuously targeted.
The basketball flipped into the air, and with the hope of the whole team and all the fans, it fell into the net hollow!
"Big Zhi! Big Zhi's middle distance almost killed the game!" Yang Jian was very excited, "Unless Argentina can perform a miracle, today will witness the semi-finals of the World Series for the first time in history."
Dayao worked hard to defend and gave enough physical confrontation to prevent the opponent from playing too easily.
Ginobili made an extreme shot and hit a magical goal!
86-84!
The only fly in the ointment is that the game time ends at the same time, the final whistle sounds, and the game is finalized!
The Chinese men's basketball team reached the semi-finals for the first time in history.
Dayao couldn't hide his excitement, and he clapped hands happily with Da Zhi.
The camera of the sports channel is aimed at the big man of the team, and the data of Dayao's field is displayed below - 25 points and 8 rebounds.Being able to show this kind of performance in the international arena is enough to prove Dayao's dominance.
Gao Fei scored 16 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists, which was also better than the group stage.He didn't think about the semi-final at the end of August, focused on the present moment, and celebrated the hard-won victory with his teammates.
For more than two months of training, all the players spent most of their time in the training hall, practicing boring and complicated tactics.This is a kind of torture for anyone, but for the common goal, we still have to stay positive.
All the efforts, at least today, have seen their first returns.For the players selected for the national team, it can be regarded as a relief.
Daba and Gao Fei have worked together for a season. Although they are not particularly familiar with each other, they have also fought for honor together.The two high-fived in the locker room to celebrate reaching the Final Four.
"A Fei, you are much calmer now than when you were in the BJ team."
"People can grow up," Gao Fei said, "You are more Buddhist than before."
"As I get older, I don't have such a big temper." Daba was still the main insider of the national team in the 90s, but now he is a substitute, and he can still accept this role change.
"If we can beat Spain and the U.S. team, we will have the NBA, the NBA and the World Championship Grand Slam."
"That's right, both of us have won two league championships. Now we only need the gold medals in the World Championships and the Olympics. If we can win them, our careers will be complete." The bus is rarely vivid.
After Dayao accepted the interview, the first thing he did when he returned to the locker room was to high-five all his teammates, and then put on a warm T-shirt.The whole team leaves the locker room to make room for the next team.
"I really didn't expect that we could break through the best results." Dayao sat on the bus and communicated with Da Zhi who was sitting beside him.
"Multiple rotations still play a role. Let's put it in the past. We probably won't be able to withstand the six-day and five-match schedule of the group stage." Dazhi's physical fitness has always been a big problem for the team, and there is no crisis at all this time. , is the multiplayer rotation that Deyiyu has continued.
Gao Fei sat in the back of the bus, communicating with Sun Yue.
Sun Yue and him are both young people, so they can chat better.
"I met Takehiko Inoue, the author of Slam Dunk in the past few days," Gao Fei told an interesting private story, "He drew a poster for me, which is quite wonderful."
"Is there such a good thing?" Sun Yue asked, "It's a pity, if I can also have a cartoon image, it would be great."
"You can contact Inoue."
Sun Yue smiled and said, "Let's forget it. My girlfriend has come to Japan, and I plan to take her for a walk tomorrow while I have a rest."
"My girlfriend is in the United States." Gao Fei said enviously, "At least I can't come to Tokyo for now."
"Why are you still in Tokyo? In five or six days, we should go back to China. Don't you have to go to the United States then?"
"Whether I win the championship or not, I will not stay in China for too long. Since last year, I have hardly had any rest. I plan to relax for a while and prepare for the next season by the way."
"I hope to win the championship. This is the dream of all Chinese basketball players."
"It's hard to say," Gao Fei would not let his teammates bear the pressure of performance in advance, "Anyway, we have already achieved the set goal, and every next game will be a bonus, just play the style of the men's basketball team."
"You can take it easy." Sun Yue couldn't help but admire Gao Fei's mentality.
"Nervousness and stress are usually not good for a basketball game. It's better to take it easy and play a miracle."
The bus stopped in front of the hotel, interrupting the conversation between the two guards.
There are male basketball fans waiting in the dark outside, waving small national flags, just to catch a glimpse of the players.
Gao Fei has always been very grateful for the support of the fans, smiled and waved to the fans, and walked straight into the hotel lobby.
He has always known that the best way to reward the fans is to win.The best fruit of competitive sports is the championship.
Gao Fei returned to the hotel room, took a hot shower, and changed into clean clothes.
Didi!
Tyler texted!
"Honey, congratulations on reaching the semifinals."
Gao Fei told her in advance not to watch the game, but after receiving such a text message, she still felt warm in her heart.
Lovesickness is a bitter feeling. As an athlete, it is no different from ordinary people.Immediately, he started editing text messages, replying to Taylor.
"I have the potential to win the championship."
Taylor was still asleep, and when he got a text message reply, he immediately sat up in bed and made a call.
"Do you think you can beat the US team?" Taylor believes that even if the Chinese team wins a game in the group stage, the US men's basketball team is still stronger.
"There is a chance." Gao Fei is very confident in this year's Chinese men's basketball team.
"I still think Team USA is stronger."
"Is that why you don't like me that much?"
"No, it is more support for the US team. I hope you play well and hope that the US team can win."
"I'm just the opposite of you. Personal performance doesn't matter, as long as you can win."
"Well, the two of us are standing on 'both sides'."
"Okay, let's see whose prediction is more accurate."
Taylor is most excited that Gao Fei will be able to return to the United States in less than a week, and then they can reunite.As for the outcome of the game, it was not that important to her.
The United States is recognized as the kingdom of basketball, and its playing standard is relatively high. Even if it loses one or two world champions, it can still be recognized by others.As long as the NBA still exists, they are not worried about losing this status.
After finishing the phone conversation with Taylor, Gao Fei was still a little excited. He felt that he couldn't fall asleep quickly, so he turned on his laptop and searched for the Spanish game video.
The opponent in the semi-finals is Spain.Although they beat them once in the warm-up match, the results at that time were basically uncountable, especially in the knockout stage, this team will undergo earth-shaking changes.
Gasol is a strong contender for FIBA's No. [-] center. He is tall and long, has a wide field of vision, and has a precise mid-range shot.Various traits make it a bit like Yamato, just not as powerful.
"I don't know which one is stronger, Dayao or Gasol." Gao Fei said holding his chin, thinking to himself.
Tuk Tuk Tuk!
There is a knock on the door!
Gao Fei opened the door and found Li Nan standing outside.
Li Nan is the captain, and he must be looking for him for the team's affairs.
"Brother Nan, don't you sleep in the middle of the night?" Gao Fei let Li Nan into the room.
"You have contributed a lot to the team's ability to reach the semi-finals." Sitting at the table, Li Nan saw the paused screen on the laptop, knowing that Gao Fei was studying the opponents in the next stage, "Are you ready? "
"Today we won against Argentina and broke through the best results in the men's basketball world championship. No matter how calm the surface is, the heart will still be a little excited. In this situation, I really can't sleep, so I might as well find something to do." Gao Fei sat by the bed and replied big brother.
Li Nan said: "Actually, so do I. After playing in the World Championships for so many years, I have been bullied by strong teams such as Spain, Argentina, and the United States, and I have always been unable to beat them. Now that I have entered the semi-finals, I feel proud."
Gao Fei was not selected for the national team before, but he has always been a loyal fan, and he has not fallen behind in almost every game.There are many times when I feel very helpless. It seems that there is no way to make up for the gap from the top teams.
Now that he has joined the team, he just wants to change the predicament in the past.
"Spain also plays a combination of inside and outside. We have a deeper inside depth and outside players have strong shooting ability. As long as we don't carry the burden to play, we still have a chance to break the wrist with Spain."
"You really think so?" Li Nan always felt that Gao Fei said this because he didn't want to burden his teammates psychologically.He has played against Spain many times in international competitions, and he clearly knows the strength of his opponents. He feels that the men's basketball team still has a certain gap with them.
Gao Fei said with a smile: "It is definitely not accidental that we won the US team in the group stage. Although their team lacks organizers, they are still among the top teams in the World Championships. Being able to suppress the US team shows that our strength is not weak. "Gao Fei explained patiently.
"I'm really confident, but I'm not sure." Li Nan said, "Don't bother you, keep busy!" After speaking, he stood up and left the room.
Gao Fei followed to the corridor, inspected the rooms of his teammates, and found that almost none of them had rested.The victory of this game is extraordinary for the Chinese men's basketball players, and it still affects their mentality to some extent.
The semi-finals will start in the afternoon of the day after tomorrow, and you can rest all day the next day, so you don't have to worry about the physical crisis.
Dayao sat in the room, talking on the phone with his girlfriend Ye Li.He is an innocent man, and the red string on his left hand is the testimony of love.
Gao Fei admires Dayao very much, no matter from which aspect, he has a maturity that does not match his age.He is usually at the top among basketball players, not only popular in China, but also popular among American fans.
"We have reached the semi-finals. This is the first time in many years that we have made a breakthrough." Dayao values the World Championship more than the professional league.
This has something to do with the education he received since he was a child.
Dayao's parents are both athletes, and they have the feelings of family and country in their hearts. The athletes they cultivate also have this awareness.
"Do you think you are sure of the semifinals?" Ye Li used to be a member of the women's basketball team, and naturally supported her boyfriend and the national team.
"Spain plays basketball as a whole, and so do we." Dayao is relatively more confident. He had doubts before, but they all disappeared after reaching the semi-finals. "We have the best ball control in the world here." Wei, this is an advantage they don't have."
"You mean Goofy?"
"That's right." Dayao said, "Who else can there be besides him? In just two months, players from various clubs have been combined together. This is not something that ordinary people can do. It's Kidd, and he can't compare to Goofy."
"He's really good." As a basketball player, Ye Li could see Gao Fei's influence.As long as he is on the court, even if he is not attacking, it is difficult to ignore his existence.
Dayao hung up the phone, recalling the training during this period, feeling that Gao Fei had prepared too many things for the national team.It's an experience I've never had before.
"I guess that's what it feels like to play under a top coach." Dayao couldn't help thinking with emotion.
Gao Fei still did not stop moving forward. He would watch each round repeatedly and carefully study Spain's offensive and defensive strategies.Their overall coordination does not depend on a single point, and everyone can connect in series, which greatly increases the difficulty of defense.
In addition to this, they also have a top-level defense.It may appear a little weak when facing the US team, and it is difficult for other teams to break through their defense.
Gao Fei studied until eleven o'clock, and basically determined the strategy for the day after tomorrow.As long as you can execute well, you have a high chance of winning.
Gasol is not idle either.
They want to win the world championship, and their imaginary enemies are the US men's basketball team and the Chinese team.He has studied the contest between the two teams in the group stage and knows that the Chinese men's basketball team's multiple screen tactics are difficult to deal with.
Sitting in a hotel room, ruminating on what to do.He doesn't have so many tactical reserves, and he has to deal with Dayao at the same time, and his energy is limited, so it is difficult to find out the thinking of Gao Fei.
This is the gap between golf quotient and tactical reserves.
Gasol can be a pivot, but he is not a point guard, and his organizational skills are not top-notch.
Calderon is Spain's rhythm controller, and he also doesn't have the two brushes of Goofy.He can only choose to trust the coaching staff and implement the tactics they have arranged.
He also watched game videos, but mainly studied Wang Shipeng's offensive characteristics.This is his task on the defensive end, and he still hopes to be able to do it better.
Because the men's basketball team has made a breakthrough in the World Championships, the sports channel sent Zhang to guide him and Sun Zhengping to comment on the spot in Tokyo.
If it wasn't for reaching the semi-finals, there would be no such treatment at all.
Jonas felt very relieved, but still did his job well, discussed tactics with the coaching staff, and determined the rotation of the semifinals.
Most of the tactics are executed by Gao Fei. What the head coach needs to consider is the timing of rotations and timeouts. As long as the physical fitness can be allocated reasonably, the strong strength of the team can be brought into play.
The Chinese men's basketball team reached the semi-finals, making the semi-finals full of attention.Domestic fans made plans early on to watch the live broadcast of that game.
The Basketball Pioneer News launched an issue ahead of schedule, covering this matter in a large space, as well as a special analysis article.
The enthusiasm of domestic fans continues to rise in anticipation.
Although Gao Fei and Dayao are in the same NBA team, but in terms of recognition, the national team is better.
Han Suya usually doesn't pay too much attention to Gao Fei's games, but this time she is also full of expectations. She wants to see her son help the national team reach the top of the world.
