Chapter 180 Winning the Stankovic Cup

ps: Thanks to classmate n for the monthly pass

There are a total of six teams, and the real champion will be determined soon. The Chinese team and the Argentine team have four wins and one loss. The two teams will compete for this championship. Lithuania and Puerto Rico will become No.3 and No.4 respectively.

Tickets for the finals were very popular among the fans, and it was gradually hard to get a ticket.

The country provided Zhang Yang with 10 free family tickets.

Relatives of Zhang Yang and Qin Feng were invited to watch the game, and Zhang Yang's good brothers, Xiaoji and Wangcai, also followed as invited.

Fortunately, the venue of the match is BJ's Capital Gymnasium, so you don't have to get up too early. You came to the capital and took a casual stroll before coming to the gymnasium.

In the crowded gymnasium, before the game started, the crazy crowd had already set off a very good atmosphere. Although the Chinese team lost more than ten points in the last game against Argentina, there was no publicity in that game.

Ginobili, the boss of Argentina, said at the press conference before the game: "China is a great country and Zhang Yang is a great player. I am willing to make friends with such a country and such a player. Zhang Yang's contract with the Miami Heat has one year left. The San Antonio Spurs need such a small forward very much. Popovich can extend his career. I hope Zhang Yang will seriously consider it. There is no better head coach than Popovich."

Argentina's starting five were the ones who knocked the U.S. team off at the Athens Olympics last year: Pablo Prigioni, Manu Ginobili, Carlos Delfino, Luis Scola and Andre Nocioni.

It is worth mentioning that Scola used to be Dayao's teammate. Dayao is very familiar with Scola's technical characteristics. Chinese fans even nicknamed him Four Carat, which means that his performance on the basketball court is as precious as a diamond.

The Argentine’s overtures quickly received a public response: “I will seriously consider Mr. Ginobili’s words. First of all, I want to get a championship ring for the Miami Heat. Milwaukee kicked me out. The Heat accepted me. I will not let the Heat’s management and fans down. Wade and O’Neal gave me the command of the team. I am very grateful to them. In fact, they don't know me at all. I'm the kind of player who is plug and play and dissociates from the team's tactical system. In the new season, I will surprise the whole world, believe me."

Zhang Yang's speech at the press conference and Ginobili's words complement each other. It seems that tonight's game will be a duel between gentlemen.

The starting players of the Chinese team are Yao Ming, Zhang Yang, Yi Jianlian, Zhu Fangyu and Liu Wei.

Jump ball between Yao Ming and Scola.

Yao Ming jumped to the ball and passed the ball to Zhang Yang. Zhang Yang quickly advanced to the frontcourt, faced Ginobili's defense, and forcibly made the first three-pointer of the game.

This three-pointer also kicked off the game.

Nocioni dribbled the ball across the half court, and he was gesturing the team's tactics. Argentina's biggest star is Manu Ginobili, and Scola is also a fringe player in the NBA, so their team's tactical execution is very good.

Ginobili interspersed with running positions, like a dancing snake, swimming quickly among the remaining players.

Scola came over for a high pick-and-roll, making Yi Jianlian come to defend, and then Nocioni passed through directly, facing Yao Ming's defense, turned around and passed the ball back to Scola, Scola singled out Yi Jianlian from the free throw line, after various fake moves, he made a breakthrough forward, causing a defensive foul by the UAE.

Scola's physical fitness is average, but he can't help but have a flexible mind, solid feet, and various tricks of fake moves, which can directly make people dizzy.

Scola executes free throws and makes two free throws.

Zhang Yang dribbled the ball quickly, facing the defense of Ginobili and Prigioni, he went straight to the inside and dunked successfully.

The players are very happy, everyone's defensive intensity is not very high, it can be said that it is completely like an exhibition game.

Zhang Yang and Ah Lian had a high pick-and-roll, and Zhang Yang took the ball into the interior and threw it into the sky.Yao Ming is an alley-oop.

Ginobili made a breakthrough in a serpentine shape, and with a [-]-on-[-], he was seen shuttling through the crowd, and then made various fake moves, even fooling himself, a completely difficult little hook.

It is reminiscent of how strong this guy's waist and abdomen are.

Zhu Fangyu and Liu Wei soon benefited from Zhang Yang's constant rush to the inside, and they frequently hit open three-pointers from the high fort outside.

Their self-confidence in the international arena is gradually increasing, because even if they fail to make a shot, they will easily grab the offensive rebound and organize the offense in 24 seconds after publicizing the inside combination of Yi Jianlian and Yao Ming.

The outside line is open, and the inside line is also full of desires and desires. This game is too easy to play.

Generally speaking, the Argentine team is a team that plays team basketball and focuses on tactical coordination. They are not afraid of the opponent's individual singles, such as the US team in the 2004 Athens Olympics.

Before the start of the game, everyone thought that the Chinese team was a team that mainly focused on the inside. How did they know that they played outside from the beginning. If you put all your defensive power into the outside, then I'm sorry, our inside is much better than the outside.

Dayao Guang's alley-oop bombing has already scored 16 points in Argentina's penalty area.

Not to mention Yao Ming's little hook at the rim, his second putback, and his turnaround jumper.

The scene was very good, with both sides coming and going, but the point difference was really widened unilaterally. The Chinese team is like a soft knife at this time. Although we don't play an offensive climax, our defense is also very weak.However, we are leading from the beginning to the end.

Until the whistle of the final game ended, Argentina finally lost the game 105 to 120. The two teams scored 225 points in total. This kind of high score in international competitions is very rare, because everyone attaches great importance to defense.

This time, the two offensive-led teams finally contributed a wonderful game to fans all over the world.

It is also the first time that the Chinese team has won the championship of an international competition. The Asian Men's Basketball Championship in September, everyone is welcome to watch on time.

The Chinese team has finally arrived. The most glorious moment in history. Tonight, when you hold the Stankovic Cup and the two trophies, the entire Chinese nation is proud of you. Male basketball players, I hope you will continue to work hard and use your unyielding spirit to create greater glories for Chinese basketball.
