Calderon missed the layup when Liu Mang broke through, and Liu Mang turned around to grab the defensive rebound.
Liu Mang and Calderon both knew how to deal with each other. The difference was that if Calderon played alone, Liu Mang could give him a lot of restrictions. Not to mention direct blocking or stealing, at least he could make Calderon shoot uncomfortably.
But Calderon defended Liu Mang...
Liu Mang grabbed the rebound and advanced to the frontcourt, crushing Calderon in. Just like Wade's breakthrough required early preparation for mid-range blocking or early double-teaming, Reyes quickly blocked when Liu Mang broke through.
Facing this 2.07-meter-tall Spanish power forward, Liu Mang made a backward jump shot!
Taikong Yi even jumped up after cutting in, but he never expected that the ball would bounce off the backboard. Fortunately, Taikong Yi could jump, and when he fell, he caught the ball and pressed it into the basket.
Yi Jianlian's physical fitness is really amazing, comparable to the physical fitness of first-class black people...Except that he is a bit fragile, from the perspective of a modern center, he is really good.
Yi Jianlian patted his chest and returned to defense. He watched a lot of Eagles games live in the United States, but he was not so comfortable as a teammate at once, because Liu Mang had never played like this before except against the United States, and that time he mostly shot from the outside.
"It's really scary to play with this big brother!"
When it came to Spain's offense, Rudy Fernandez broke into the inside and made a shot with Wang Zhizhi's help.
There was no way, Wang Shipeng was passed cleanly, Wang Zhizhi defended very hard, but the interference from the commanding heights was still a little lacking.
Attack and defense switched, the Chinese team attacked, and Liu Mang continued to break through!
Wang Shipeng and Zhu Fangyu were running, and Fernandez and Mbulu did not dare to double-team in advance. This was Liu Mang's chance!
When Liu Mang rushed to the three-point line, Reyes had already blocked him in advance. He thought Liu Mang would shoot directly and wanted to double-team him in advance. Liu Mang expected that his opponent would think so, so he took the initiative to lean sideways!
Reyes was confused by Liu Mang's action. At this time, Liu Mang shot the ball towards Reyes' crotch, turned left and cut in, and passed through the crotch with his back!
Liu Mang rushed to the free throw line and saw someone under the basket!
He didn't care about that. It didn't matter who it was. Anyway, he was wearing a red jersey. Liu Mang took a step inside the free throw line and smashed the ball into the basket through the person under the basket!
Yi Jianlian was waiting for Liu Mang's long shot under the basket. If it went in, they cheered. If it didn't go in, there was still "2+1". He was waiting happily, and then he was attacked from behind and knocked out of the baseline and lay on the sponge of the basket stand...
The fans at the scene saw Liu Mang pass the opponent's power forward and point guard with his back to the crotch, and cheered. Two seconds later, suddenly, the throats of the fans at the scene seemed to be clamped...
Yi Jianlian turned his head in surprise and looked at the expression of falling from the basket, and the expression of "Why is it you" written on Liu Mang's face after landing. The fans at the scene saw this scene and held back... really couldn't hold back...
After two seconds of silence, bursts of laughter came from the scene, and finally the whole audience laughed!
The Spanish players, who were originally under great pressure, very nervous, and very focused, couldn't help laughing.
The jumping man on the opposite side was so pitiful. He was dunked by his teammate and knocked out of the baseline...
The Chinese players had originally held back from laughing, but they were moved and couldn't help it!
Liu Mang was embarrassed, but fortunately the referee came to ask the Spanish team to serve quickly. The ball was not dead and the game time was still running. Liu Mang quickly retreated to defend in Yi Jianlian's resentful eyes.
However, the atmosphere on the court seemed to be harmonious all of a sudden...
After Calderon laughed, his mentality was much more relaxed. It was normal that he couldn't beat Liu Mang in the matchup, but he had to play! Anyway, he would be abused no matter what, so he just had to go all out!
In the second half of the first quarter, relying on Liu Mang's offense and the threat of his teammates' shooting, the Chinese team continuously attacked the inside line when Gasol was not there. The opponent's center did not dare to retreat. When he retreated, Wang Zhizhi made a three-pointer.
The Chinese team also couldn't defend Fernandez from the outside. In comparison, Fernandez, who was mainly poor at scoring and passing, was better. Calderon was better. He had shooting and passing. Liu Mang mainly defended Calderon, and the main attack point of the Spanish team became Fernandez.
However, Wang Zhizhi gradually found some ways to deal with Fernandez's cut-ins. Fernandez's confrontation was poor, his passing awareness was average, and he took the initiative to make physical contact, which reduced the opponent's efficiency.
At the end of the first quarter, the Chinese team was 26 to 19, expanding the lead created by Yao Ming to 7 points.
After the mentality was balanced, the two teams used their advantages to make up for the disadvantages as much as possible. In comparison, Spain, which was missing the best player in international basketball, had too many disadvantages. It felt like a No. 24 player could not enter the playoffs in the first year without O'Neal. It was not that the others were not good enough, but that the missing person was too important.
The Chinese team played the established tactics steadily and maintained the leading advantage. The Spanish team occasionally had a performance of chasing points, and Liu Mang or Yao Ming immediately responded with a strong attack.
Without Gasol, Spain doesn't have a Liu Mang or Yao Ming. They work well together and have good team tacit understanding. They are a team built around Gasol. Without Gasol, they can barely rely on Gasol Jr. to grind in regular time. But Gasol Jr. played halfway through the third quarter and was fouled out by Yao Ming!
No accident!
In the fourth quarter, the Chinese team successfully widened the gap to more than 15 points, and they were never caught up. Liu Mang and Yao Ming were both on fire in the second half of the fourth quarter. Yao Ming did not have to be stingy with his energy. In the last few minutes, he could fight as hard as he could. Liu Mang also shot when Yao Ming was double-teamed!
In the end, relying on Liu Mang's 27 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals, and Yao Ming's 38 points, 6 rebounds and 3 blocks, the Chinese team defeated Spain with a score of 97 to 81, a difference of 16 points!
The game lost suspense completely from Gasol's World Championships injury and Gasol's 5 fouls in the third quarter. The fans at the scene had been waiting for the last second to come. At 8:56, after an hour and 56 minutes of play, the referee blew the whistle to end the game, and the scene exploded!
Tens of thousands of small Chinese flags were flying all over the sky, and there were almost 40,000 Chinese fans at the scene, all cheering!
The Chinese players were madly hugged together, world champions!
This is the first world champion of Chinese basketball!
After winning the world championship, the Chinese national anthem will be played in Japan, but before the national anthem was played during the award ceremony, the national anthem had already started to be sung!
Liu Mang looked at the three veterans, Li Nan, Guo Shiqiang, and Zhang Jingsong, who were hugging each other and crying with tears and snot all over their faces, and looked at the other teammates who couldn't stop crying. Liu Mang felt a salty taste in his mouth...
Liu Mang touched his face, and he actually shed tears...
What are you still holding back!
Liu Mang rushed up and hugged and cried with his teammates!
This is the first world championship for Chinese basketball!
