After playing for a few minutes in the opening game, the Chinese team was obviously in a backward situation.

The Spanish players have better tactical execution and basic skills than the Chinese players, and the two defenders, Calderón and Navarro, are also much better at reading the game than Liu Wei and others.

The outside line was suppressed, and the score was 6-11 and trailed by five points.

Navarro and Calderón do not easily enter the penalty area, and they do not shoot easily after entering the penalty area, even if Yang Di is strong in defense, there is no way to destroy such an attack.

Yao Ming made a jump shot, and the Chinese team fell behind 8-11.

For Spain, the defense of China's two major interior lines is always tricky, and no matter how much they try, Yao Ming and Yang Di can always score consistently.

In 4 minutes and 30 seconds, the Chinese team replaced Yi Jianlian and Sun Yue, and replaced Wang Shipeng and Zhu Fangyu.

Yang Di moved to the small forward position, and Sun Yue and Liu Wei partnered in the backcourt.

At the same time, Spain also made changes to their lineup, with Gabajosa being replaced, Philippe Reyes coming on, Calderón coming off the pitch and teenager Rudy Fernandez coming on.

Spain also hopes to take turns to play Navarro and Calderón's organizational talents, so after Calderón is gone, the overall squad of the Spanish team presents a more balanced height.

The new player Rudy Fernandez is 21 years old, he played for Juventutri at the age of 15 and has experienced many years of training in the Spanish Liga and is a young player with outstanding quality and great potential. He has explosiveness and bounce that are rare in white people, and his physical fitness is among the best in Europe.

Fernandez will be 22 years old next year, and he will automatically enter the NBA draft, with his strength and talent, he will definitely be selected by the team, and when the time comes, it is not whether the NBA wants him or not, but whether he is willing to come to this league.

Compared to many players who are still struggling in American universities, Fernandez is indeed a lot ahead.

"Oh? Did you get two players who were drafted in this year's draft? ”

Spain's coach Hernans frowned and thought, in recent years, the development of the Chinese men's basketball team has been very fast, in addition to Yang Di and Yao Ming, two top NBA players, there are also some new blood about to enter the NBA, Yi Jianlian and Sun Yue are like this, among them, Yi Jianlian, who was selected in the high order, has attracted much attention.

Sun Yue is very similar to Fernandez, a top Asian physique, and a top European physique.

The difference is that Fernandez is good at attacking, while Sun Yue is good at defending.

"After entering the NBA, the first thing to improve is your outside defense ability and outside projection ability, and the rest of the organization offense, breakthrough points, do not need to practice, the NBA has dribbling ghosts, breakthrough players, only defense and three-pointers, can be established."

Sun Yue thought of the advice Yang Di gave him, looked at Fernandez in front of him, and his heart swelled with fiery fighting spirit.

Come on, take you as the best experience.

After Liu Wei switched to Navarro, he was able to keep up with Navarro in terms of speed, and Liu Wei was cautious in defense, not out of position, not taking risks, and flexible in footsteps, Navarro's breakthrough and shooting were limited to a certain extent.

At the end of the first quarter, Spain led the Chinese men's basketball team by 4 points 22-18.

Yao Ming was rested, and in fact, he didn't want to get off the court, but under the confrontation with Gasol, which was an NBA-level confrontation, he actually consumed a lot of physical strength.

The Chinese team replaced Wang Zhizhi, and at the same time, Chen Jianghua replaced Liu Wei.

"Don't make mistakes, pass carefully!" Younas asked Chen Jianghua, 17-year-old Chen Jianghua is the youngest player in the entire Chinese team, he is very fast, and the ball control is okay, Yang Di's praise for him is that he has the strength to play in the NBA in the future.

Younas likes Chen Jianghua very much and hopes that through his breakthrough, the lack of aggression in the Chinese team's back line can be improved.

Yang Di doesn't think so, Yang Di hopes that he can be equipped with a taller guard, just do a good job of defensive tasks, and on the offensive end, he can hold it up alone in the second quarter.

The Spanish player who defended Jandy was Philippe Reyes.

Reyes is Real Madrid's main interior lineman, tall but flexible, he has a certain ability to play on the back alone, is good at 45-degree diagonal attacks, can participate in the team's fast break, and can also send some blocks.

Of course, it may also be because of his panacea-like skills that he didn't get the favor of the NBA in the end.

But it is undeniable that Reyes is a good player on the international stage, in the Spanish national team.

He spread his feet apart, raised one hand, and was conscientious and ready to defend Yang Di.

Yang Di held the ball high, thinking to himself, why didn't Spain use outside players to defend him? He himself went to the outside.

He also didn't want to think about his current physical strength and breakthrough level, if the outside players came over, there was no advantage in height and weight, wouldn't it be even worse to defend?

Yang Di took a tentative step and poked out his right foot.

The Spanish player immediately came over to wrap it up, and he distributed the ball to Sun Yue on the flank.

Sun Yue broke through two steps and encountered the Spanish men's basketball team that rotated to defend, shook his left hand lightly, and passed the basketball to Yang Di who went down beautifully.

Yang Di's eyes lit up, he took a big jump to catch the ball, crashed into the Spanish substitute center Marc Gasol who was guarding the inside, raised the basketball with one arm, and smashed the frame and dunked.

"Si~"

Marc Gasol touched his chest, which seemed to be broken, and grinned in pain.

"That's a good story!" Yang Di pointed at Sun Yue, Sun Yue patted his chest and raised his finger to point at him, and the two greeted each other.

Gasol was anxious off the court, his younger brother was still too young, and after he was not in the basket, he was immediately ravaged by Yang Di.

Soon, Yang Di received the ball in a low position, turned his back and hit a jumper.

As soon as the Chinese team came up in the second quarter, it tied the score 22-22.

"Damn."

Spanish men's basketball coach Hernans scolded secretly, Yang Di is really troublesome, and there are too many offensive means, whether it is close to the penalty area or far away from the penalty area, he has a way to cause damage, and it is not easy to defend at all. So he immediately called a timeout, hoping to adjust the state of the Spanish substitutes.

After the timeout, Fernandez made a breakthrough against Sun Yue.

Fernandez was fast, head-covered and shot straight to the basket.

Yang Di broke off and ran to block Fernandes, Fernandez didn't have a chance to jump early, and instead wanted to pass the ball inside, but Yang Di destroyed the pass.

The path of the ball changed, but instead of being cut off by the Chinese players, it fell to Sergio Rodriguez on the outside.

The 19-year-old Rodriguez is also a rising star in Spain, and was selected by the Suns with the 27th pick in the first round of this year's draft and immediately sent to the Portland Trail Blazers.

From the perspective of being favored by the NBA, Spain is indeed full of talent.

Rodriguez's outside shot is a three-pointer, hit!
