Liu Xiu relied on his inside advantage tonight and took action when it was time to take action on the outside.

The skills of Slovenian team's inside players are the best comprehensive inside group that the Chinese team has encountered in the group stage.

Supporting expert Carlos, Spurs starting center Nestrovic, and Bobcats starting center Brezek, who came on as a substitute, also have their own characteristics. Persian Nahba is a very excellent shooting striker.

These people gave Yao Ming a headache on the defensive end, but in Yao Ming's view, these people's defense is not as good as the large-tonnage muscular man of Senegal and Angola. Yao Ming grabbed 4 offensive rebounds in the first quarter! 6 rebounds in a single quarter, breaking his personal single-quarter rebounding record in the World Championships or the Olympics!

Relying on Liu Xiu's 3 of 7 shots, he scored 10 points, 1 rebound, 1 assist and 1 steal, Yao Ming scored 8 points and 6 rebounds, the Chinese team tied 27-25 with the Slovenia team in the first quarter, leading by two points!

When he entered the festival, Yao Ming was very tired after playing for the first quarter. After drinking a few sips of functional drinks, he said to Liu Xiu: "They are different from our previous opponents."

Liu Xiuying said: "Yes, their playing style is closer to NBA teams, but they are very familiar with the rules of the FIBA, so they are very special... Maybe our playing style is also very special to other teams."

Yao Ming thought about it, so he took a rest for a while and sat on the bench. Silver Fox just called his name, but he was not sent to the second quarter.

But Yao Ming sat down and was very relieved. He thought of the 2002 World Championships. That incident occurred when Wang Zhizhi did not return. Hu Weidong, Liu Yudong, Gong Xiaobin and other core team members of the older generation were injured. Yao Ming had no care of his predecessors and had no contemporary teammates who were worth relying on. At that time, he didn't know where he should go in the national team. He didn't dare to rest in every game, and averaged 21 points per game and ranked third in the scoring list of that World Championship.

In that World Championships, the only game that the Chinese team won was Yao Ming scored 38 points, 13 rebounds and 8 blocks, and C only won one after he was bleeding.

But now, if he can play on the court, he will fight without hesitation, and he can rest steadily when he is replaced, because he has a warden!

Soon, the second quarter began.

Liu Xiu stole the second-generation ball Sani Besinovic when he came on the court. Besinovic reacted quickly and used tactical fouls to stop Liu Xiu's fast attack in time.

Sani Besinovic is the biological son of Snowenja defensive coach Memi Besinovic, but he is not a backdoor, but is currently the star with the strongest comprehensive ability in the back line of Slovenia.

The middle defense formed by Besinovic and Nestrovic in the first quarter caused great trouble for Liu Xiu. Yi Jianlian's basic pick-and-roll skills were too poor, Wang Zhizhi's pick-and-roll speed was slow, and Besinovic shot after defending Liu Xiu from outside, making the interference very good; Liu Xiu wanted to break through after pick-and-roll, Nestrovic stood at the basket and did not move, and Liu Xiu was also very uncomfortable when he rushed in.

But now Nestrovic is replaced and rested like Yao Ming...

When the Chinese team attacked, Liu Xiu made a strong attack on Besinovic in the top arc, and when he arrived at the inside, he smashed the ball into the basket through Brezek!

218 cm high, 114 kg Brezek is like a big bamboo pole, and the data is OK, averaging 12.4 points and 5.8 rebounds per game last season, but the blocking efficiency is not as high as Liu Xiu's defender.

In the next two rounds, Liu Xiu rushed to the inside without hesitation, made a layup by the board and a European step-skip, and scored both goals, making 3 goals in a row, starting ‘Kobe Time’!

Afterwards, Liu Xiu scored another three-pointer and scored the opponent 9-5, stopping the Slovenian team, 36-30, and the Chinese team expanded its lead to 6 points!

After returning from the timeout, Dragic, who came on the bench, made a three-pointer after a pick-and-roll. Liu Xiu wanted to give a reply... Unfortunately, this time, the three-pointer was too sluggish, and even Kobe Time could not save the wave... But Yi Jianlian pressed the ball into the basket through Brezek's make up the dunk!

Brezek was 218 cm tall and started the NBA team again. He was originally quite powerful intimidating against Chinese players, but Liu Xiu made three consecutive attacks in the second quarter. The Chinese players found that this tall man was a paper tiger, and Yi Jianlian decisively began to attack the inside.

The Chinese team began to take the initiative in the game. After Yao Ming came on the field in the second half of the second quarter, the Chinese team further widened the gap. At the end of the half, they led Slovenia 10 points 56-46, successfully widening the gap to double digits!

In the third quarter, Slovenia launched a counterattack. Slovenia discovered that Dragic was a better solution to their point guard position. They sent Dragic and Besinovich's backcourt combination, and the frontcourt Golan Jurak, who was 203 cm tall, was sent, and the inside was sent to the double towers of Sloka and Nestrovic to pull the attack.

The Slovenian team's counterattack was very fierce. The Chinese team was at a disadvantage in the third quarter. With 5.2 seconds left in the third quarter, relying on Besinovic's bottom corner three-pointer, Slovenian team chased the score to 75-76, and scored a 29-20 score in a single quarter!

However, after Besinovic scored a three-pointer, the Chinese team did not stop and lamented themselves and ran towards the frontcourt. Li Nan quickly sent the ball to Wang Zhizhi. Wang Zhizhi passed the ball for a long pass, and Liu Xiu received the ball after rushing across the center line.

The Snowenian players reacted quickly and retreated in time, blocking Liu Xiu when he was about to reach the top arc, and Liu Xiu passed!

Wang Shipeng, who followed up on the left, received the ball, took two steps to the 45-degree angle on the left, jumped, chased and made a three-pointer...

The ball just left Wang Shipeng's hand, and the whistle at the end of the third quarter had already sounded. The ball flew in the air for a second before falling into the box!

The referee confirmed that after the final whistle sounded after the ball left Wang Shipeng's hand, Wang Shipeng jumped and played first with three-pointers, and the goal was valid!

79 to 75, the Chinese team ended the third quarter with a 4-point lead!

Wang Shipeng's goal ignited the morale of the Chinese team being suppressed by the Slovenian team in the third quarter.

After the fourth quarter started, Liu Xiu made a three-pointer on the right sideline from Yao Ming as soon as he came up. Then Yi Jianlian successfully interfered with Dragic's breakthrough throw. When he arrived at the Chinese team's attack, Yao Ming supported him at a high position. Liu Xiu cut in the middle and Yao Ming passed the ball straight to the basket, and made a layup with Nestrovic.

Liu Xiu and Yao Ming cooperated to score a 5-0 wave, widening the gap to 9 points, leading 84-75!

The score difference was almost widened to double digits again. The Slovenian team started playing a life-style counterattack again. With the experience of successfully narrowing the score difference from 10 points to 1 point in the third quarter, the Slovenian players were very confident.

But the Chinese team also has experience in dealing with it and no longer considers defense, just offense!
