Australia is truly amazing!

Sun Ce looked at the starting lineup opposite: point guard, Patrick Mills, A-level (international), Spurs backup guard;

Shooting guard, Matthew D'Ravedova, A-level (international arena), this is the top young guard in the international arena that is the focus of many scouts in the NBA;

Small forward, Brad Newley, A- (international), La Liga's top 3-and-D small forward;

Power forward, Aaron Baines, B+ (international), just signed by the Spurs;

Center, Bogut, A-level (international), defensive NBA starter-level center.

In addition to these five, the bench also includes Joe Ingles, a tall guard swingman who is bound to enter the NBA in the future, and David Anderson, Yao Ming's former teammate.

The strength is indeed strong! The benches are not as good as the Russian team, but the seven main players are very strong.

The pressure is indeed not small, but Sun Ce wants to do Australia now, and he wants Yao Ming to rest more in this game no matter what, so he can only take responsibility for fighting by himself, and Yi Jianlian is not.

At 3:28, Sun Ce came to the field after putting on his equipment, and his starting teammates who played with him were Wang Shipeng, Zhu Fangyu, Yi Jianlian, and Zhang Zhaoxu.

Wang Zhizhi continued to stay on the bench to ensure firepower for the second team.

Zhang Zhaoxu didn't expect that he would be able to make his debut, and now he has been silently reciting in his heart what Sun Ce emphasized several times today......

At 3:30, Yi Jianlian and Bogut came to the center circle to jump the ball, the referee blew a whistle, and Yi Jianlian pressed Bogut to push the ball to the back.

Although Bogut looked down on Yi Jianlian...... He looked down on many people, including his own country's NBA legend Luke Longley, who he felt should be compared to Duncan.

But Bogut is quite self-aware in terms of jumping balls, and after several major injuries, he is no longer good at bouncing and bounce speed, knowing that he can't jump Yi Jianlian, he has long been ready to retreat.

Sun Ce was not in a hurry when he received the ball, he advanced slowly, and after arriving at the front court, his teammates had already fallen into formation, Zhang Zhaoxu stood on the left side of the three-second area to contain him, and Yi Jianlian pulled it out for Sun Ce to block and dismantle.

Brad Newley was blocked by Yi Jianlian, and Sun Ce easily broke through by blocking and dismantling!

Aaron Baines couldn't keep up, Sun Ce rushed into the basket with all his might, Bogut never left the three-second zone, started to move in advance, and waited for Sun Ce to burst in and give Sun Ce a big hat!

Sun Ce rushed all the way to the right side of the three-second zone, Bogut had already covered the layup space that Sun Ce burst into, and Sun Ce went to the baseline or made a stop-and-go jumper, Bogut's movement ability could keep up.

At this time, Sun Ce suddenly stopped and leaned over to the left, accelerating and changing direction while traveling!

Stepping into the middle of the three-second zone, it was easier to reach this zone than in the NBA, and Sun Ce grabbed the ball and put it to the basket to score two points.

Bogut guessed that this might be the case, Sun Ce's interior change ability is only comparable to Rose and Ellis, Wade, and Ginobili in the league, and the latter two are old and use less, and Rose has changed the style of play, and now Ellis still uses this move as a regular offensive means like Sun Ce.

But Bogut doesn't care about conceding these two points, this style of play is used only a few times in a game between Wade and Ginobili in his peak, not the main offensive method, and no one can play like this in every game.

But...... In the next few attacks of the Chinese team, Sun Ce broke in and changed direction at high speed to impact the basket!

Moreover, Sun Ce also made a breakthrough on the left side from time to time, although he was not as skilled as the right side, but the opponent was also awkwardly defended.

On the defensive end, Sun Ce also worked hard and helped defend everywhere.

Bogut tried his best to limit Sun Ce on the defensive end, but he couldn't do it alone, Sun Ce had the ability to shoot, and there was no way, Bogut could only find his teammates to shrink and block the inside.

But Aaron Baines shrank back, and Yi Jianlian's mid-range shooting opportunity was available, and he shot very accurately, and he also had a certain ability to split the ball in the top arc.

Not long after the game started, Bogut was about to go crazy, just because he didn't do well on the defensive end, and that's it, Bogut wanted to hit people on the offensive end!

Zhang Zhaoxu is waiting in the three-second zone on the offensive end today, and when he has the opportunity to receive the ball and shoot high, he will stand if he doesn't, the height of 221 cm will also be useful for standing, and the task on the defensive end is also very simple, two things, one is that the Australian team can't shoot outside the box to help Sun Ce grab the rebound, and the other is to fight with Bogut hand-to-hand!

Zhang Zhaoxu did exactly the same work as Ding Jinhui came up to do after 6 minutes of play in the first quarter, the two of them kept fighting with Bogut under Sun Ce's instructions, it doesn't matter if they can prevent it or not, it doesn't matter what Bogut wants to do, it just wants to consume Bogut in hand-to-hand combat.

On Sun Ce's side, the first half was full, Yi Jianlian played 12 minutes in the first half, Wang Zhizhi played 8 minutes, Sun Ce cooperated with the two of them to block and dismantle, and the two stayed in the top arc area after blocking and dismantling and waiting to catch the ball and shoot or share the ball after receiving the ball, which was simple and rude.

The Australian team is really strong, Sun Ce tried his best to play the first half, got 19 points, 7 boards, 4 assists, 2 blocks and 2 steals, helping the Chinese team score 39 points in the half, and the Australian team also scored 38 points.

Under Sun Ce's physical strength to drive the whole team and crazy defense, he offset the gap in the overall strength of the two teams, and relied on Bogut to score 1 2+1 before halftime, helping the Chinese team lead by 1 point into the halftime break.

In fact, on the whole, without Yao Ming's containment, the Chinese team was actually at a disadvantage, and it was only by Sun Ce's 19 points at half time that the Chinese team was 1 point ahead.

Most of the players in the Australian team feel that they still have an advantage, but Bogut did not calmly reach out in the last defense and was beaten 2+1 by Sun Ce, and the overall situation is good for their Australian team.

However, Bogut is about to explode! The opponent sent two "garbage" in his eyes to consume him, he pulled down the middle distance, or to fight against him, although he also helped his teammates create opportunities to cut inside and score, but he played 17 minutes in the half, and only got 2 points, 3 rebounds and 1 block, these two points were won by free throws, every time he received the ball and had a shooting opportunity, the two guys slapped him directly on the arm.

Seeing the picture of Sun Ce, panting and tired as a dog, walking back to the lounge, Bogut hated it!

It was this guy who saddled him with 3 fouls in the half and scored 13 points inside in the half.

Bogut knows very well that Yao Ming is not there, and the Chinese team can still compete with their Australian team, relying on this guy to play hard.

Seeing that this guy was finally tired, Bogut who walked back to the lounge on the other side was very excited, and in the second half, he was going to lead his team to kill the group of bastards opposite!

In his eyes, Yao Ming is not fighting, Sun Ce is tired, and the Chinese team will be pinched and played by them.

However, 15 minutes later, Bogut returned to the court and saw the "refreshed" Sun Ce smiling and chatting with Yi Jianlian......
