Chapter 687 Yang Hansen's First-Round Guarantee!
Theis fouled!
Wang Xiucheng gets an extra penalty kick.
Zhou Qi's goal stands.
Tess struggled to his feet and carefully rubbed his knee.
When he landed, his knees hit the floor first, which made him feel a little pain.
Then Tess looked at Wang Xiucheng.
Wang Xiucheng's backward crawling was surprisingly fast.
Fortunately, Wang Xiucheng crawled away, otherwise Tess's knee might have landed on him.
No matter who gets hurt, that's not what he wants to see.
He doesn't consider himself a dirty player.
Guo Shiqiang, standing on the sidelines, breathed a sigh of relief and steadied himself against the barrier.
This kid!
Ben Sullivan also smiled and shook his head.
That's more like it! That's the real Wang Xiucheng!
Distracted?
nonexistent!
Even if you were daydreaming, it was just the kind of daydreaming Wang Xiucheng wanted you to see.
It was Schroder who took advantage of Wang Xiucheng's "distraction" to reach for the ball, giving Wang Xiucheng the opportunity to drive the length of the court and pass the ball to Zhou Qi, who was unguarded.
Swish!
Wang Xiucheng was punished and advanced.
China successfully scored three points.
Schroder bent down and kept watching Wang Xiucheng until Wang Xiucheng finished his free throw, then he came to the baseline to receive Theis's serve.
Schroder was well aware that the Chinese team was not strong, ranking outside the top 20 in the world.
Without the Olympic qualifying system, China would not have been able to qualify for the Olympics.
However, Germany is the World Cup champion and ranked third in the world.
Judging from both strength and experience, the German team has no chance of losing this match.
Schroeder firmly believed this.
After getting the ball into the attacking third, Schroder used a screen to pass the ball to Wagner.
Wagner dribbled once, faked out Lee Kyle by half a step, and then chose to shoot.
The basketball slammed onto the rim with a thud, but Theis tipped the backboard out, and Obst caught the ball and made a successful floater.
The German team finally earned their first point in the Olympics.
Both sides scored in the first two rounds, but then Germany gradually found its own style of play.
That means intense competition and a high shooting percentage.
Although Wang Xiucheng was constantly directing the ball for China, their physical condition was still far inferior to that of Germany.
This defensive gap caused Hebei China Fortune to gradually fall behind Germany.
For example, in the shooting guard position, the Chinese team has Choi Young-seok playing that position.
However, in terms of both speed and physical strength, he is somewhat inferior to the German team's number two, Obst.
This gave Germany a 25-20 lead with three minutes left in the first quarter.
After a timeout, Guo Shiqiang made a substitution.
Yang Hansen, Zeng Fanbo and Guo Haowen took the stage.
Wang Xiucheng and Li Kaier remained present.
Germany also made a substitution, but Schröder remained on the field.
The German team's substitute number one is still quite a bit behind Schröder in terms of ability.
If Schröder is substituted without Wang Xiucheng leaving the field, Germany's number one position will be immediately suppressed.
Although he is still being suppressed by Wang Xiucheng.
Schroder has taken three shots so far in the first quarter, scoring one and also has two assists.
However, compared to Wang Xiucheng's 7 points and 3 assists, it is slightly inferior.
China launched an attack. Wang Xiucheng received the ball and came to the frontcourt. After waiting for a moment, Yang Hansen ran out to provide a screen for Wang Xiucheng.
Germany's Thiman followed Yang Hansen, but didn't follow him out completely, only standing inside the three-point line.
Wang Xiucheng used a screen to break into the paint, and Timan immediately moved to the side to block in front of Wang Xiucheng, trying to double-team him with Schroder behind him.
With a thud, Wang Xiucheng bounced the ball and passed it to Yang Hansen outside the three-point line.
Wang Xiucheng's shot was very powerful, and the sound of the basketball hitting the floor was also very dull.
Yang Hansen didn't bend over at all; he simply stretched out his hand, and the basketball bounced into his grasp.
With almost no sinking motion, Yang Hansen only slightly lifted his feet off the ground before throwing the basketball.
Just as Schroder and Timan were looking over, the basketball was already flying towards the basket.
Swish!
The basketball spun and fell into the hoop!
Three-pointer, in!
Yang Hansen held up three fingers and waved them in front of his chest.
Guo Shiqiang clapped, but quickly resumed his bitter and resentful expression.
Sullivan seemed to sense something and turned around to look. He saw many scouts he recognized in the stands, who were controlling video cameras and recording Yang Hansen.
Ben Sullivan knows that Yang Hansen has a good chance of being selected in the first round of the draft next year, or even the lottery!
Ben Sullivan knew that Hansen Yang had withdrawn from the race at the last minute this year.
The reason is not because there are more centers participating in the draft this year.
Rather, it's because this year is the Olympics. If Yang Hansen participates in the selection, he will need to participate in joint training and undergo individual trials with each team.
Yang Hansen didn't want to miss the opportunity to train with the national team, so he announced his withdrawal at the last minute.
Well, anyway, the Nets didn't get any first-round picks this year; they all went to the Rockets.
Next year, there is a mutual first-round draft pick between Yang Hansen and the Rockets, which guarantees Yang Hansen a first-round pick.
Whoever wants to acquire this big man who is a disciple of Jokic will have to offer him a first-round pick.
Of course, this was not Sullivan's idea, but Wang Xiucheng's.
Although Wang Xiucheng has never mentioned this, he will definitely do it.
Sullivan believes he knows Wang Xiucheng quite well.
Bang!
The sound of the basketball hitting the rim pulled Ben Sullivan back to reality.
Schroder's shot was interfered with by Wang Xiucheng and missed.
Lee Keer grabbed the rebound and saw that Schroder had immediately positioned himself between him and Wang Xiucheng, blocking the passing lane. So Lee Keer dribbled the ball forward himself.
But after just one step, Li Kai'er passed the ball out.
The ball flew over Schroder's head and headed towards the attacking third.
However, the ball was given too much leeway, and the landing point was likely to be inside the three-point line in the offensive half.
At that moment, Wang Xiucheng, who was right behind Schroeder, turned around and rushed over almost instantly.
Schroeder only turned around and finished after Wang Xiucheng had taken a step forward.
At this point, no one could catch up with Wang Xiucheng.
After taking several large strides and sprinting several meters forward after the basketball landed, Wang Xiucheng managed to catch it with some difficulty.
Wang Xiucheng, who had slowed down slightly, had reached the baseline. If he took one more step forward, he would go out of bounds.
Wang Xiucheng controlled the ball, stretched out his arm behind the backboard, and tossed the basketball up while simultaneously rotating his wrist violently.
The basketball made a violent friction with the backboard, and the next moment it spun into the basket.
Jelly layup!
With five consecutive points, the Chinese team tied the score at 25-25 with less than two minutes left in the first quarter.
"nice shot!"
Sitting in the first row of the fans' stand, Yao Ming unconsciously stood up and clapped!
He is quite familiar with the German team.
At the 08 Olympics, he led the Chinese team to victory over Germany in their third group stage match at the Beijing Olympics.
This is the first and only time that the Chinese team has entered the men's basketball quarterfinals.
After that match, both the German players and coaches expressed their dissatisfaction on different occasions, implying that the Chinese team had received preferential treatment.
This angered Yao Ming and many others.
You lost, and people say you're a noob!
You won; people say you received preferential treatment!
Basically, you can't win; if you do, it's wrong!
Yao Ming now just wants to see the Chinese team beat these Germans to a pulp on the Olympic stage!
