Chapter 253

The last time the German men's basketball team participated in the Olympic Games was in 1992. After 16 years, the German men's basketball team entered the Olympic family again. The head coach Dirk Baumann led the team. The German team has players like Tim Albright. A potential star who is only 20 years old, but the most important in the team are Dirk Nowitzki and Chris Kaman.

Dirk Nowitzki is the head of the German team and a top star in the NBA. He was the MVP of the regular season in the 2006-2007 season. Although he has a height of 2 meters, Dirk is not a standard power forward or inside player. Like an all-round player with a certain ability to play in the low post and outside shooting ability, it is difficult to define his position.

From this point of view, it is very similar to Channing, except that Channing is a little shorter and prefers to break through with the ball, while Dirk is taller and ends up shooting more in offense.

In international competitions, Nowitzki is the most advantageous weapon for the German team, and now the German team's offense is completely centered around Nowitzki. When he holds the ball, German players will lie in ambush beside Dirk and wait for an opportunity to attack.

In addition to Nowitzki, Chris Kaman is also a very important player.

A full-sized center with a height of 2 meters and a weight of 13 kilograms, Kaman is the No. 120 pick in the first round of the 03 Golden Generation. In the NBA, Kaman plays more of a defensive player, with more flexible footwork and the ability to assist defense Relatively good.Since they are in the same Western Conference, Kaman and Yao Ming have often played against each other in the NBA, and once had the feat of dunking Yao Ming.

The German team has been very active in planning the naturalization of NBA players over the years, especially Nowitzki as a lobbyist in the NBA. Dirk's Mavericks teammate Bradley successfully planned in 2001.The Clippers center Kaman, whose grandfather and grandmother are both German, also announced his German citizenship this year.

Just naturalized, the run-in time between Kaman and the German national team teammates is not long.But even under such circumstances, Kaman still did everything he could.Although in terms of scoring, Kaman's contribution to the German team is not great; but in terms of defense and control of rebounds, Kaman shows the demeanor of an NBA player.As the only NBA player in the German national team besides Nowitzki, Kaman's experience is what Bowman values ​​most.

"Chris Kaman's performance is really satisfying, and his arrival has enhanced our overall strength," Bowman said. His evaluation of Dirk is: "Nowitzki is the best three in men's basketball today. One, he is really, really important to our national team!"

With Nowitzki as the spear, Kaman as the shield, plus a good three-pointer, this is the lineup configuration of the German team.

Compared with Spain and Greece, the old European teams, the German team is much inferior in terms of teamwork and overall personnel strength. They rely more on Dirk to open up space. The teams are somewhat similar, the two teams split [-]-[-].

Now, with Chen Ning and Yao Ming forming a dual-core team, the strength of the Chinese team has faintly surpassed the German team, and it should not be a big problem to win Germany.

At 8:16 on the evening of August 20, the Chinese men's basketball team ushered in the fourth opponent in the group stage - the German team.

"Brothers, win the German team, let's make history together!"

After simply pouring a few words of chicken soup, Yao Ming and Qian Ning led the Chinese men's basketball team to play.

After the two teams played against each other for two or three rounds, Channing had a general understanding of the level of the German team. In one sentence, except for Dirk Nowitzki, the other German players were all well-rounded, technically Rough.

At the beginning of the game, the Chinese team was full of momentum and defended desperately, which gave the German team a disarm. Qian Ning and Sun Yue jointly blocked the outside line, Yao Ming and Ah Lian guarded the inside line, making it very difficult for the German team to pass the ball. Reluctantly hit the iron.

On the offensive end, Channing still let Yao Ming take the lead in attacking. The new aid of the German team, Chris Kaman, did not know how to defend Yao Ming by himself.

Dayao was not polite either, he pushed Kaman head-on, and hit a buckle on top of Kaman's head.

In the next offensive round, Dayao used exquisite footwork to sway Kaman and hit a rebound goal, causing Kaman to foul.

2+1, the Chinese team took a 5:0 lead at the beginning.

"After defeating Spain, the self-confidence of this Chinese team has been greatly improved. The day before yesterday they won Angola without bloodshed. Tonight, against the German team, the Chinese boys also made a fantastic start."

"Yes, with Channing's outside defense and Dayao's inside singles, we suppressed the opponent from the very beginning."

Zhang Weiping and Sun Zhengping had a very happy chat. After reaching the top 8 in the world, the Chinese team has completed the Olympic goal ahead of schedule, and the subsequent games will not be so stressful, and they can watch the game easily.

The German team still couldn't find a solution on the offensive end, so they took the lead in adjusting the defensive end and double-teamed Yao Ming.

The overall cooperation of the German team can only be said to be second-rate in Europe. Once the inside team is double-teamed, the outside team will have an opportunity.

After 5 minutes of the game, the Chinese team was in full swing. Except for Chen Ning who scored zero, the other starting players all scored. However, the German team's offense still did not improve, and they were already 9 points behind.

"I didn't expect the game to be so easy. Did we overestimate the German team? Or did we become stronger again?"

Channing thinks he has both. In a game where his teammates are in full swing, he plays the role of an organizer, relying on his tall stature and wide field of vision to conduct the ball and properly break through and score the ball. He takes very few shots. few.

As long as he can take the initiative on the field like this, Chan Ning doesn't care if his score drops to zero.

Seeing that his teammates were unable to break through the Chinese team's defense, Dirk Nowitzki sighed and stepped forward to play singles with the ball.

After the post-up singles, he turned around and wiped the basket successfully, received the ball from outside the three-point line and hit it directly. Nowitzki made a sudden outside shot, saving some face for the German team.

Whether it is the young Arab League or Sun Yue, who is at a disadvantage in tonnage, it is difficult to interfere with the driver's shot. Whether he can get in or not depends entirely on Nowitzki's touch.

Looking at the old driver who carried the entire German team by himself, Channing suddenly had an illusion that Dirk was simply a copy of Yao Ming, and he could be called Dayao's German division. Neither of them had as strong a teammate as Pau Gasol. , completely relying on their superior personal ability, brought the teams of their respective countries to another level that did not belong to them.

Nowitzki's counterattack did not cause too much trouble for the Chinese team. Chan Ning made a long shot from the outside and Yao Ming made a strong attack from the inside. The Chinese team continued to firmly hold the lead.

However, what is unexpected is that with 4 minutes left before the end of the fourth quarter, an accident happened.
