Chapter 907 is specially here to break records
The score gap was too large, and the Lithuanian team could only choose to bet on three points, and the shooter-turned-Gossevitius ran quickly to find the open space outside the three-point line, and wanted to shoot when he got to the ball.
The defense is Wang Shipeng, his defensive ability is average, but he has a strong sense of responsibility, firmly follows Gessevitius, and when he jumps together, it interferes with his shooting, so that the ball smashes out of the frame, Chamberlain jumps, and picks up the rebound.
Chamberlain saw that the Lithuanian team was pressing the defenders, so he wiped his sweat, ran forward with the ball, and when he got to the front, Wang Zhizhi, who came on as a substitute, made a cover for Wang Shipeng, who stepped out, and the figure of Lacevis, who was defending him, was left behind.
Chamberlain immediately passed the ball, Wang Shipeng accelerated and ran wildly, and after holding the ball, he hit the basket from the wing, and in the face of Kreza's block, he shrank his body and hit it, before the two collided, he tried to maintain his balance, threw the ball up with his backhand, and when the person rolled to the ground, the ball also fell into the hoop.
In this way, the Lithuanian team's defense line is becoming more and more chaotic, and the joint defense is very effective against the Chinese team that does not break through, but now the Chinese team is playing with momentum, playing tailwind, the defenders are more ruthless than the other, and the joint defense can no longer prevent people.
In the last two minutes of the fourth quarter, Chamberlain followed Kreza out of the inside, and Yaftokas seized the opportunity to hit Wang Zhizhi with his back, he advanced to the basket with brute force, turned and stretched his arms to make a shot.
At this moment, Chamberlain stepped in reflexively, and in the face of the flying ball, he stomped on the floor fiercely, his body flew up like a rocket, and smashed his arm on the basketball like a carpenter's nail, and fiercely nailed it to the rebound.
At this moment, the Chinese fans in the audience rioted, and suddenly stood up and shouted: "Record! Banzai! â
Chamberlain landed on the ground, raised his hands high, each hand was a five-fingered kei zhang, and he roared: "Ten covers!" Ten caps! Whoever still wants to eat hot pot, then come to me! â
It was his 10th block of the tournament, and he completed his first triple-double performance at the World Championships.
Similarly, this is also the first time in the men's basketball World Championships that there has been a triple double!
At this time, the Chinese men's basketball team still has a lead of 20 points, and they have won steadily, the reason why Nelson Jr. did not replace Chamberlain was to wait for him to get a record-breaking triple-double, and at this time, when Chamberlain sent the tenth big hat, he replaced Chamberlain.
In the last two minutes, the Chinese team was on the bench, the Lithuanian team had lost the desire to win, just the offense and defense of cooperation, the last blow was in the hands of the Chinese team, Kreiza shook his head and shook hands with Wang Zhizhi, Wang Shipeng ran on the outside with the ball, and the Lithuanian team had no one to defend......
Chamberlain wiped the sweat on his body with a towel, Yao Ming stretched out his palm, with a smile on his face, and said: "The first World Championship final in the history of the Chinese men's basketball team, we created a zĂ o!" â
Chamberlain high-fived him, but shook his head and said, "You're wrong, Yao, what we created was not to enter the World Championship finals, but to win the first international gold medal in the history of the Chinese men's basketball team!" â
At the same time as his words fell, the whistle representing the end of the game also sounded, and the scene was in an uproar, the excited Chinese fans roared wildly, and the sharp whistle shook people's eardrums with faint pain.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Chinese men's basketball team, which was leading by 20 points, had already told fans that they were going to enter the World Championship finals for the first time.
But basketball is round, as long as the game is not over, anything can happen, and now that the game is finally over, they can finally celebrate.
Chamberlain got up and walked to the mixed interview area of the Lithuanian team, Kreiza shrugged his shoulders at him, and took the initiative to reach out and say: "Congratulations, future champions." â
After all, they are all NBA mixed players, and everyone will look down and see each other in the future, so of course they have to sell it well at this time.
Chamberlain shook Krezza's hand and hugged him, and the reporters gathered around, and Chamberlain told reporters: "We won, which is to be happy, but the reason why we celebrate so passionately is because we won a team with the quality to win the gold medal!" â
A reporter immediately asked: "Z, do you mean that the Lithuanian team has a chance to win the gold medal?" â
Chamberlain smiled slyly: "Any team that can play in the group stage is a world-class team and has a chance to win the gold medal." â
The reporters were a little disappointed, Chamberlain's answer was very slippery, of course, considering that Chamberlain had to accept at least 100 joint interviews with reporters in a season in the NBA, it was difficult not to be slippery.
But Chamberlain was in a good mood at this time, and Kreza's blessing was also very comfortable for him before, so he continued: "Although many teams have the strength to win gold medals, Lithuania is one of the most likely ones, when you face such an opponent, you have to play with all your strength, otherwise you may lose!" â
'Tonight we were fighting like men, which is very admirable, they have a lot of new people in their squad, obviously this is a team that is still growing, and I am very much looking forward to the day when they mature, and I think the game between us will be even more exciting at that time.
After Chamberlain praised the Lithuanian team, he hugged Jaftokas and others one by one, and then left the stadium under the escort of the security guards.
Of course, it was Chamberlain's record that attracted the most attention, especially at the post-match press conference, where Chamberlain was the focus of attention.
Nelson Jr. was very proud, he replied to reporters: "Actually, I expected that there would be such a day, Z is unbeatable, among the active players, he is the one at the top of the pyramid, so I am not surprised that he got the first triple-double in the history of the World Championships." â
"You mean, Chamberlain was the best basketball player in the world?" The BBC-Sport reporter asked deliberately defiantly.
Nelson Jr. smiled confidently: "If you are talking about active players, then I can give you a positive answer, you can say to everyone that the head coach of the Chinese men's basketball team and the first assistant coach of the Warriors believe that Chamberlain is the best basketball player in the world!" Who can lead a team to two championships in the first three years of their career? Who can lead a national team that has never reached the last four to the final twice? If there's another guy who can do it, I'd say, that guy is the best basketball player in the world! â
In addition to the triple-double, Chamberlain also broke the World Championships single-scoring record, scoring 195 points in eight games, and then a grand final, which is certain that he scored more than 200 points at this World Championships.
A player can play a maximum of nine games in the World Championships, six in the group stage, and then three in the knockout rounds.
Previously, the World Championships individual scoring record was Luther Burdon's 185 points, and Chamberlain improved that record by a whopping 10 points in just nine games, and there was one more game to come, so no one knows what that record would end up being.
Luther Brandon is nicknamed Christ, and his 185-point World Championship scoring record goes back 50 years!
This guy is also the No. 1 player, he used to fight in the ABA, and then the ABA and the NBA merged, and he went to the NBA again.
Bourdon entered the NBA in the twilight of his career, so he didn't have many records in the ABA and NBA, even in his college years, he didn't set a scoring record for his own school, he played three seasons at the University of Utah, scoring a total of 1,790 points, and Keith was ahead of him. Van Horne, Billy. McGill, Josh. Grant, Mike. Newlin, and Luke. Neville.
But it took Bourdon just three years and 80 games to get such a high score, while Van Horn, Grant and Neville all spent four seasons, nearly 120 to 130 games.
To know how difficult it is, when Brandon played, the ABA and NBA didn't even have a three-point line, and Brandon was good at long-range shooting, as you can see from the World Championship scoring record he has held for more than 50 years, this is a pure scoring machine.
Brandon also had another record, and that was Disney's record for free throws: when he hit as many as 200 shots in a row.
Chamberlain's triple-double record and scoring record naturally became a major event at this World Championships, so various media began to write about him, calling him a superstar in the history of the World Championships.
As we all know, the reason why the American men's basketball team is called the dream team is because the so-called dream team has concentrated too many superstars, even if you are the enemy of the league, you are still just an ordinary soldier in the team.
From Dream One to Dream Eight, no player can have an average of 20+ per game in any tournament, because there are too many stars, and when it comes to individuals, there are not so many balls to distribute.
However, this time, it was Durant who played bravely, and he is currently averaging 23 points per game, which is already the scoring champion of the Dream Team.
So far, Durant has continued to break records, breaking the record for total points since the World Championships in the United States, breaking the all-time average points per game record for the Dream Team, and breaking the single-game scoring record since the World Championships in the United States......
However, it is a pity that this year's dream team is known as the most water dream team, and the biggest star in the team is Durant......
In this way, the dream team has already eliminated Serbia to enter the final, and after the Chinese team wins, the target of the final will be released.
Before the final, the battle for three or four places began, with Lithuania playing Serbia, two dark horse teams.
Before the start of the World Championships, no one could have imagined that it would be these two teams that would appear in the battle for third and fourth place.
This game doesn't matter much anymore, the finals are going to open, who cares about the battle for three or four places?
However, Serbia and Lithuania gave it their all and the game was very exciting.
At the beginning of the game, Rasic and Kaiserje hit 3-pointers one after another, and Serbia led 8-4 at one point. Both sides scored a few points, with Velickovic and Kostic each scoring to give Serbia an 18-9 lead with 4:25 left in the first quarter.
Zangunas scored four points and Posius also hit a 3-pointer, and the Lithuanian team quickly chased the score closer, and after Rasic hit both free throws, Zangunas scored five points in a row, and he led the team to end the quarter with a 7-0 counterattack, and the Lithuanian team led the team to a one-point lead at 23-22 after the first quarter.
Shortly after the start of the second quarter, the two sides were tied at 26, and Kreza scored two consecutive attacks to lead his team to eight straight points to give Lithuania a 34-28 lead at the first three and a half minutes of halftime.
Velickovic scored five points in a row, Krezza scored five points and Jascetis also hit a 3-pointer to extend Lithuania's lead to nine points.
Kostic scored on a layup and Karniertis and Kreiza each scored three points to give Lithuania a 10-point lead at 48-38 at halftime.
Lithuania's Kreza had 17 points and four rebounds in the first half, and he also had three assists, Zangunas had 11 points and Jacsetis had eight points and seven rebounds; Serbia's Velickovic had 11 points, Rasic had eight points and four assists, and Kostic had five points and seven rebounds.
Kreza's good form continued in the third quarter, scoring five points on his own, and he led his team to a 10-2 attack wave to start the game with Lithuania leading by 18 points at 58-40.
Teodosic hit a 3-pointer and Kreza answered the 3-pointer, and the two teams exchanged offensive and defensive points in the rest of the game, with Kreza's layup giving Lithuania a game-high 22 points, Paunic and Macchiwan each scoring two points, and Serbia trailed 54-72 after the first three quarters.
Karniertis hit another 3-pointer shortly after the start of the final quarter to extend their lead to 22 points, with four points each, with Velickovic hitting a 3-pointer and Savanovic hitting all four free throws to give Serbia a 69-84 trail with 5:30 left to go.
Posius scored a dunk and Serbia scored five straight points to close the gap to 12 points. Marculis scored a 3-pointer and then Serbia fought back, but they struggled to bounce back and they lost 88-99.
At this point, only the finals of the World Championships are left!
