Chamberlain and Nowitzki jumped the ball, if you want to say that the German chariot is the least intimidated in the whole court, it may be him, the Warriors have a tradition of focusing on the Mavericks, even when there is no Chamberlain, after the arrival of Chamberlain, under the influence of the team's culture, he is naturally not afraid of the Mavericks, and he is not afraid of the Mavericks' boss Nowitzki.

He didn't care when he jumped the ball, and for the game that the outside world was concerned about, it was just a low-hanging fruit victory in his eyes, so he didn't work hard when he jumped the ball, and with a symbolic jump, Nowitzki grabbed the ball before him.

The first round of the German team's attack was handed over to Nowitzki, who was like a dragon into the sea, turning left and right and continuously turning and bursting into the basket, and shooting as soon as he shot. Chamberlain was always behind, and when Nowitzki turned the second time, he deliberately fell one step behind, and when he made a sudden rush, he slapped the ball on the rebound.

The Wukesong Arena resounded with the earth-shattering cheers of the fans, and they were encouraged by Chamberlain's opening block.

Subsequently, Yao Ming scored 4 points in a row to make a good start for the Chinese men's basketball team, and the 4-0 lead made the fans even happier. However, the German team soon launched a counterattack, Nowitzki played the role of the leader, scoring five points in a row to color, he first hooked a basket and then came to a high shot from outside the three-point line to help the German team overtake the score.

Chamberlain paid the price for his contempt, and just when he wanted to make up for his mistakes, Nelson Jr. suddenly called a timeout and directly replaced him off the court, and replaced Yi Jianlian in the position of power forward.

The outside world sees the Dragons playing the German team as a test of their true strength, and Nelson Jr. also has a similar idea, that is, through the alignment of Yi Jianlian and Nowitzki, to test his true level, because this is the last opportunity for the Chinese men's basketball team to practice, the next game is Greece, and then the knockout round, that is the real tough battle!

Nelson Jr. must determine whether Yi Jianlian has the ability to fight tough battles, because this will have a great impact on his future arrangement.

Yi Jianlian is naturally very different from Nowitzki, but that was in the NBA, in the Olympic Games, Yi Jianlian's performance was not bad, he started from the FIBA arena, and his familiarity with the venue, rules and three-second zone is no less than that of the old superstar Nowitzki.

When he got off the court, Chamberlain hugged Yi Jianlian, patted him on the back and said: "You just have to keep an eye on that German and let him go to the basket, so that you can wrap him up with Yao and definitely eat him to death." ”

Yi Jianlian made a contribution as soon as he got on the court, Yao Ming responded from it, and after passing the ball, Yi Jianlian hit a high jumper. Then Sun Yue stole Green's pass, the Chinese men's basketball team played steadily, Yao Ming scored two more points under the basket, and once again overtook the score, and the Dragons led 8-5.

It can be seen that the rest of the last game helped Yao Ming a lot, he still has plenty of physical strength, while Nowitzki can't, the German team needs him, every minute and every second, but his physical strength is not good, so in the competition with Yao Ming, he is slightly weaker.

For German fans, the bad thing is that the German men's basketball team is in a very bad state today, after more than half of the first quarter, except for Nowitzki to score, the other players did not score a point, including Kaman, who missed two shots.

In the first quarter, the two sides fought a big defensive battle, and the shooting rate was not high, Nowitzki was much more relaxed in the face of Yi Jianlian, and repeatedly used the advantage of strength to hit the back and then turn to the middle shot, Yi Jianlian was helpless, and once again faced Nowitzki to turn around and jump shots, and could only reach out and pull him down.

Nowitzki hit one of two free throws and Germany scored 10 points, but it was all nowitzki, and most of the game time had passed, and the others still hadn't scored a point, which was an unusual sight.

Yi Jianlian then got his revenge by hitting a three-pointer at the top of the circle to give the Chinese men's basketball team a 12-10 lead.

The German head coach called a timeout in frustration, changed the lineup again and again, and Nelson Jr. also changed the formation, this time even Yao Ming was off the court, and the front court was handed over to Wang Zhizhi and Yi Jianlian.

Chamberlain was a little surprised by Nelson's arrangement, this is too bold, how can I say that the opposite side is also one of the strong teams in Europe, he and Yao Ming are not there, how to confront each other?

Nelson Jr. had his own arrangement, before Wang Zhizhi came on the court, he recruited him to his side and said: "Wang, you know, you and Dirk were selected into the NBA together by me, I found him in Europe, I found you in Asia, you two had the same style of play and similar personality when you were young, but his physical fitness was better, which is the reason why he entered the first round in the draft and you were in the second round." ”

He paused, then continued, "My father and I used to study the two of you and thought you two could be the twin stars inside to save the Mavericks. It's a pity that I didn't understand the political system of your country at that time, and this led to the tragedy of your career. But until now, I still think that you are as good as Dirk, go on the field, let everyone see, if you can give you the same opportunity, on the same stage, you are better than the Germans! ”

Hearing this, Wang Zhizhi changed slightly, since experiencing the suppression of the Basketball Association, his personality has become a lot more restrained, usually in the men's basketball team is the most low-key and least talkative, unless it is necessary, he generally does not speak, this time after Little Nelson finished speaking, he said in a deep voice: "Coach, I will not let you down!" ”

Nelson Jr. smiled with satisfaction and pushed him onto the court.

Chamberlain took advantage of the fact that everyone was paying attention to the game, and quietly asked Nelson Jr.: "Is what you just said true?" Or is it just to motivate the king? ”

Little Nelson sighed softly and said to Chamberlain: "Seriously, when he entered the NBA, Wang was indeed no match for Dirk, but at that time Dirk was 20 years old and Wang, fucking 25 years old, what else can he train if he goes to the NBA at the age of 25?!" What the king lacks is potential! But when I first met these two people, Wang was far better than Dirk! If your basketball association had been willing to let Wang go to the United States in 1996, he would have been much better than Yao and Dirk by now! ”

As he spoke, Nelson Jr. sighed lightly, looking at Wang Zhizhi and Nowitzki standing together, he vaguely thought of a scene more than ten years ago, when the World Youth Team VS American Youth Team "Nike Sharps" basketball match was held in North Carolina, USA, where he saw Nowitzki and Wang Zhizhi.

In that game, Wang Zhizhi was the starting power forward of the youth team in the world, and Nowitzki happened to be Wang Zhizhi's substitute!

It was at that time that Wang Zhizhi officially entered the field of vision of NBA scouts. In the eyes of scouts, Wang Zhizhi, who is only 18 years old, has an outstanding level of skills, combining running and jumping quality, superior height and delicate basketball skills, even in the NCAA, which is rare and unmatched.

At the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games, the young Wang Zhizhi emerged, when he was young and vigorous, in the men's basketball game, he was like a tiger in the mountains, swept the opponent of the enemy, and quickly attracted the attention of the whole world. A university in the United States immediately invited Wang Zhizhi to play at the university, and the Bayi team did not let go.

At that time, the school that Wang Zhizhi contacted was Nelson Jr., and the school he contacted was the University of Michigan, an NCAA school that produced Chris Webb, which has always been known for cultivating all-round forwards. At that time, Wang Zhizhi was not yet 19 years old and full of potential.

In the 1999 draft, Wang Zhizhi was selected by the Mavericks, Bayi and the Chinese team. Nowitzki was also selected the year before, and the German Basketball Association quickly released him, as far as the situation at that time was concerned, Wang Zhizhi was not comparable to Nowitzki in terms of skill or fame, the latter was not famous in the world at all, and he was still a thin German youth who could only shoot in the long distance, but Wang Zhizhi was known as the 'Far East Tigers', known as the world's first-class inside player in the basketball world.

It wasn't until 2001 that after winning the championship on Bayi, Wang Zhizhi was able to leave the CBA to join the NBA, when he stepped on the NBA arena, there were only a dozen games left in the regular season, if it was an ordinary player, there was no chance to play at all, and at this time, each NBA team already had a complete playoff configuration.

But Wang Zhizhi's performance at that time was absolutely impeccable, and the old Nelson smiled and immediately put him on the playoff list. However, at that time, Nowitzki had already formed a troika with Finley and Nash of the Mavericks, and Wang Zhizhi could only appear as a substitute, and as Nelson Jr. said, he entered the NBA too late, 25 years old, his skills have been finalized, and the perennial CBA-level confrontation has also worn out his fighting spirit, and he is no longer the "genius insider who meets once in 50 years in the world" in the mouth of the media in 1996.

Little Nelson said that the main purpose was to stimulate Wang Zhizhi, and Chamberlain guessed correctly.

There are two watersheds between Wang Zhizhi and Nowitzki, the first was before 1996, when Wang Zhizhi dumped Nowitzki Street, and the second in 2000, until then, Wang Zhizhi and Nowitzki could still go hand in hand. From 2000 onwards, it was Wang Zhizhi who was thrown out of the street.

But Wang Zhizhi didn't think so, after he came on the court, he led the offense, in the face of Nowitzki's defense, he first made a feint, and then skillfully broke through with the ball with his left hand, Nowitzki hurriedly retreated, Wang Zhizhi put away the ball and came to a mid-range shot, accurately sent the ball into the hoop.

There is no doubt that Nelson's words still stimulated Wang Zhizhi, even if he also knew that the other party was just comforting him, he was no longer Nowitzki's opponent. But Wang Zhizhi just wants to fight for a breath, he wants to compete with Nowitzki in the world arena, and he has been waiting for this opportunity for a long time!

Maybe I'm no match for you anymore, or even worthy of being compared to you, but I want to tell everyone that if we had the same fate, it would be you who are being trampled under your feet now! Wang Zhizhi's face was grim, and his fighting spirit was unprecedentedly high.

At the end of the first quarter, the Chinese team led by 4 points at 24-20, and at the beginning of the second quarter, the murderous Wang Zhizhi faced Nowitzki, who received a pass from Chen Jianghua outside the three-point line and shot it with a long shot.

Nowitzki and Wang Zhizhi once stayed in the same team, although the two did not have a deep friendship, but at least they still knew each other's names and style of play, and his personality was also very introverted, Wang Zhizhi's ball made him understand the other party's intentions, you want to beat me, right? Well, I'll show you how good I am!

With such an idea, Nowitzki held the ball in his hand and walked inside with Wang Zhizhi.

Wang Zhizhi's strength is not as good as Nowitzki's, and he doesn't dare to go all out to top people, because Nowitzki's flexibility is also very good, and if he turns around and breaks through, it will be bad.

His guess was very accurate, Nowitzki had this plan with him, although Wang Zhizhi had been preparing, but when Nowitzki suddenly turned around and went down quickly when he entered the penalty area, he was still a little slower and was left behind.
