Chapter 756 Chapter 756. The second super center
Thanks to the 7 assists in Slovenia, Liu Xiucai tied for the first place and won a data king.
In the group stage, he averaged 19.6 points, 8 rebounds, 5.8 assists, 2.6 steals, and 0.8 blocks per game. He shot 46.7% from the field and 42.3% from the three-point range. He almost lost 20+5+5 per game.
But Yao Ming is too fierce. In most games, he can’t fight that hard in regular time. With Yao Ming to block the vanguard, he can focus on defense and series offense. Li Nan’s “Little Li Feidao” has a 30% chance of receiving hot shots. This kind of energy distribution seems to be a very good choice in this World Championships.
But looking at the first three lists, Liu Xiu found an unexpected name but felt nothing wrong with it—Milicic.
Top five in points and rebounds, Milicic’s performance in this World Championship is comparable to Yao Ming, Gasol, and Nowitzki!
In the list of steals, Dimitus Diamandis (Greece) ranks first with 4 steals per game, Zedros Paparokas (Greece) ranks second with 2.8 steals per game, and Liu Xiu ranks third with 2.6 steals per game , the fourth and fifth are both Australian players.
Blocks list: Yao Ming and Milicic both rank first in blocks per game with 3.2 blocks per game, Gasol ranks third with 2.4 blocks per game, Luger ranks fourth with 2.2 blocks per game…
In terms of overall performance, Milicic is better than Nowitzki. Compared with Yao Ming and Gasol, it is really hard to say which of the three has the best performance.
It is a pity for Liu Xiu that the lineup of Serbia and Montenegro this time is very broken.
On May 21st, the country of Serbia and Montenegro was gone, so most of the top players from Serbia and Montenegro were unwilling to participate in the World Championships. Except for Milicic, Liu Xiu can remember the name in the Serbia and Montenegro team list Yes, there is only one player named Popovich.
The next day, August 25th.
At 7:30 in the morning, Liu Xiu received the finals schedule sent to the door by the staff of the national team.
The games in the final round are all held at Saitama Super Arena, so there are only 4 games a day.
The 16 teams that have advanced have a day off today. Tomorrow, the second and third places in each group will start a cross-match match. The second place in Group A will meet the third place in Group B in the first round of the finals, and so on, 4 The games were France against Turkey, Germany against Lithuania, Greece against Slovenia, and Italy against Nigeria.
On the 27th, the first and fourth places in each group will compete against each other. The rules are the same as on the 26th. The four games are Argentina against New Zealand, Spain against Puerto Rico, the United States against Angola, and China against Serbia and Montenegro. team.
The 8 teams that have not advanced will be grouped today according to their records and group stage point difference, and will play a ranking match to determine the 17th to 24th places.
The group first rested for two days, Liu Xiu felt very good, but he looked at the next 4 opponents in the group, as if the opponent they met in the Chinese team was the strongest one!
The first place in this group… Liu Xiu thinks it should be taken, but the first place in the group has an attribute point, and it also draws explosive acceleration…
…
In the afternoon, the Chinese team began to prepare for the match against Serbia and Montenegro the day after tomorrow.
On the second day, August 26, after the morning training, Liu Xiu took a leave of absence in the afternoon and took Qing Er to the playground with Anne-Hathaway to celebrate her 12th birthday.
Unexpectedly, the teammates found out about this. When the three of them returned to Qiyu in the evening, the teammates gave Qinger a big cake, which moved Qinger to tears…
Training in the morning, celebrating Qing’er’s birthday in the afternoon, and throwing a simple party for Qing’er in the evening, Liu Xiu didn’t pay attention to the competition all day. After returning to the accommodation arranged by the organizer, Liu Xiucai learned about today’s battle situation.
In today’s first round of 4 games, there were two downs and downs. The German team was beaten by the Lithuanian team, the French team was killed by the Turkish team, and the Greek and Italian teams steadily defeated their opponents and advanced to the top 8.
After a night of rest, a new day has arrived.
Liu Xiu woke up on time at 7 o’clock, and looked at the schedule on the cabinet next to it. At 10 o’clock in the morning, the US team and Angola team will kick off today’s game.
The U.S. team’s match was scheduled for 8:00 p.m. New York time, and Liu Xiu could see the idea of the foot-pot chicken at a glance.
The match of the Chinese team was scheduled for the last game at 8:00 p.m., and the foot pot chicken wanted the ratings in the Chinese market to earn advertising fees, and it was very straightforward.
The match between the second and third in the group was very suspenseful, but the difference in strength between the first and fourth in the group was already very large.
After breakfast, Liu Xiu devoted himself to training for the battle. At 6 o’clock in the evening, when he was resting after dinner and ready to warm up, he paid attention to the situation of the first three games today.
The United States defeated Angola 92 to 66, Spain defeated Puerto Rico 104 to 98, and Argentina defeated New Zealand 79 to 62. The first in the group advanced one after another.
Seven teams including the United States, Spain, Argentina, Lithuania, Turkey, Greece, and Italy advanced to the quarterfinals, leaving only China and Serbia and Montenegro.
At 7:45 p.m., Liu Xiu and his teammates entered the Saitama Super Arena.
The players of the Chinese team saw that the scene was red!
Over two-thirds of the fans are Chinese fans, and some non-Chinese also bought Chinese team jerseys to wear.
Foreigners who don’t want to wear Chinese team jerseys, they wear the Trail Blazers, Pistons, and Lakers jerseys. Among them, Wang Zhizhi’s Lakers jersey number 16 is the majority.
This, even Wang Zhizhi didn’t expect, the 60E fans are so fierce, he felt two sour smells…
In the two consecutive World Series, the Chinese team advanced to the group stage with 5 wins and 0 losses. The domestic sports world has gone completely crazy!
Even the European and American sports circles also said that the “golden age” of Chinese basketball has arrived, and it is used to rank alongside Spain, Argentina, and Greece, which are recognized as having entered the “golden age of basketball”.
Liu Xiu withdrew her envy and jealousy towards Wang Zhizhi, a Lakers player with ’60E’ fans, and returned her attention to the game.
After two days, he stepped on the court again, and his feeling was completely different.
As the star of the team, he is full of pressure!
“Dako Milicic, 21 years old, 213 cm, 116 kg, C/PF, ability evaluation 97 (international arena)… Averaged 20.8 points, 10.4 rebounds, 3.4 rebounds, 0.8 steals, 3.2 blocks, and shooting percentage in 5 games in the group stage 52.6%, 30% from 3-point range, 60% from the free throw line…”
A big center with good skills is really good in the international arena. Liu Xiu looked at the other players on the opposite side… Really weak, counting Milicic, there are a total of 3 ability ratings of 80, and both of them are in their early 80s, but Milicic Cicchi rushed to the top 8 with Serbia and Montenegro, which no longer had a country.
This is Yao Ming walking up to Liu Xiu, Liu Xiu didn’t look up, and asked: “The farmer is very good, Brother Yao, have you beaten him?”
Yao Ming looked down at Liu Xiu, then raised his head again: “I am the No. 1 center forward!”
