Chapter 269 Host Advantage
Before the match against Turkey, the Chinese men's basketball team got a precious one more day to rest. In less than two days, Group C played three more games. First in Group C, Puerto Rico played two games rather sadly, first losing to Turkey, but then winning against Côte d'Ivoire.
The big African brothers have basically determined that they are at the bottom of the group, and Puerto Rico has also lost the possibility of advancing.Among the top four teams in the group, China temporarily ranks third, and Turkey ranks second. In other words, the final confrontation between the two sides will determine the final ranking of the group stage, and no one wants to face it. The second-placed team in Group D.
Such a situation made both sides act very cautiously, for fear of losing the game accidentally, and then being directly eliminated by the opponent in the top 16.For this reason, Deng Huade and members of the coaching staff conducted a detailed analysis of the Turkish players and made certain targeted arrangements, hoping to win the game and advance as the second in the group.
But Türkiye is not a salty fish, their frontcourt configuration is very good.Although the starting center Asik is average in speed, he is a meat shield-type inside line, and he can completely carry Yao Mingsheng under the basket with his strength.He was the sixth pick in the second round in 2008. He played for Fenerbahce last season and has already negotiated with the Bulls about landing in the NBA.
Starting power forward Ilyasova, he should have been Yi Jianlian's teammate.Ilyasova came to Milwaukee two years before Yi Jianlian joined the Bucks, and then went to Barcelona to play for two seasons, passing Yi Jianlian by accident.But it is undeniable that Ilyasova is still very strong, averaging 10.4 points and 6.4 rebounds in the Bucks last season.
Of course, the most important thing is their head star. Turkoglu, who once served as the second head of the Magic and followed Warcraft Howard to the finals, is also considered to be the new generation of point forwards in the NBA.Although he switched to the Raptors last season and averaged 11.3 points, 4.6 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game, he still does not change his true qualities as an all-around small forward.
In Deng Huade's view, Turkey's inside line is strong, and Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian are not vegetarians. They have learned the lesson of the last game against Russia.Only Turkoglu is a big trouble. It seems that the flanks of the Chinese men's basketball team need to bear huge pressure this time. Deng Huade does not intend to let them score, as long as he can lock Turkoglu.
On the contrary, the guard group headed by Xu Hao did not have too much pressure. Turkey's high-end combat power was basically concentrated in the frontcourt, and their backcourt players were really average. This also helped the Chinese defenders sweep the previous game. decline.
During the training in the team, Deng Huade took Zhou Peng face-to-face to give advice when he had nothing to do. Who made him the only orthodox No. [-] position in the team?Ding Jinghui can also swing downwards, and his style is also very tough, but his moving speed is still a bit slower than that of Zhou Peng. Deng Huade will not let him appear in the starting lineup unless there is a special request.
Zhou Peng is a young player newly trained by the Guangdong Men's Basketball Team, and most of the time he is used as a 3D winger. He can be regarded as a defensive master.Even so, Deng Huade is still not at ease with him, as long as he seizes the opportunity, he will talk to him. The only requirement is that Zhou Peng should play against Turkoglu in the game and influence the latter.
This game is scheduled for the afternoon of the last day of the group stage, and it is also the last game of Group C.When all the players of the Chinese men's basketball team walked into the stadium, they were stunned by the deafening cheers from the sidelines. I don't know where so many Turkish fans suddenly appeared. While waving the Xingyue flag, they used Turkish language to cheer for the players.
Yu Shulong, who was relatively young, turned pale. He quietly said to Xu Hao: "Why are there so many Turkish fans cheering for each other? They also made so much noise. No matter how you look at it, it seems to affect Let's play!"
Xu Hao said with a smile: "Who made this their home court in Turkey? If it were in China, there would also be a large number of fans coming to the scene to cheer for us. After all, you have never seen such a scene Bar?"
Yu Shulong blushed, and muttered, "Isn't it because the teams I played for in the past had mediocre results..."
Xu Hao restrained his smile, patted him on the shoulder, and said solemnly: "But from now on, you have to get used to this atmosphere. For us, the cheers of the opponent's fans are a disgrace, and their scolding is a shame." It's our pride."
Deng Huade also noticed the noise made by the Turkish fans on the sidelines. The Chinese fans who came to watch the game could only stay in a corner. He could barely hear their shouts clearly.However, Deng Huade did not take Turkey's home court advantage to heart. This time, the members of the Chinese men's basketball team are almost all seasoned veterans. Even young people like Xu Hao have played in the CUBA and NCAA finals. , there is nothing to say about psychological quality.As for the few young people, it would be good to feel the atmosphere. He didn't expect them to play any role in this game.
Before the game started, he poured a bowl of thick chicken soup for everyone in the locker room as usual, but at the same time, he also explained the importance of this game to everyone.In fact, even if he didn't say it, the players knew it. Of course, the promotion quota is as stable as Mount Tai, but no one wants to fight against the second team in Group D, so they must beat Turkey.
At the same time, Deng Huade also reminded the team members that this is Turkey's home court, and they are also the organizers of the World Championships. It would be good if the home whistle can be restrained a little bit, and it is absolutely impossible to completely eliminate it.This requires everyone to act as cleanly as possible during the game, so as not to let the referee get caught, let alone any disputes.In case of any conflict, the fans' saliva is enough to drown people, and the referee will be even more merciless.
In the end, Deng Huade said loudly: "I think the last game against Russia has taught you a painful lesson, and I myself have made deep introspection. So this time, facing Turkey, which has a more luxurious lineup than Russia, I hope you will not go all the way. From the beginning, we played with the intention of winning, which will only lead us to a stalemate on the court. But you also have to believe in your own strength, as long as you can play 100%, the possibility of defeating Turkey is still very high..."
