764 China team vs France team semi-final
September 13, 2023, 7:30 pm.
The semifinals between China and France will begin at the Philippine Stadium.
Tonight in China, more than 50 million people stayed in front of the screen to watch this game.
As long as they beat the French team tonight, they will definitely get a silver medal.
Being able to witness the Chinese team win a medal is a great honor for all Chinese fans.
Even those who don't like basketball will naturally want to take a look when they see a game involving the Chinese team.
Wang Yi's classmates once again booked a theater to watch this game.
At the same time, some companies have rented out theaters and organized employees to watch the game.
Firstly, their leaders are fans, and secondly, they booked the venue to watch the Chinese team's semifinals. This is also a support for the Chinese team and a patriotic expression.
This game was exclusively broadcast live on CCTV in China.
The number of real-time viewers in the live broadcast room has exceeded 59 million, and is about to reach 60 million.
The total number of views has reached an exaggerated 180 million.
This is the statistics from the first 5 minutes of the game.
By the end of the game, this data will only become more exaggerated.
At the same time, the 50,500-seat stadium in the Philippines was already fully occupied.
Due to the large number of seats in this stadium, games held here are rarely full.
But today, every one of the 50,500 seats was full.
This is because in addition to Chinese fans and French fans, many Filipino locals came in today.
The Philippines is a country that loves basketball. They regard basketball as their national sport, so they admire players who have outstanding performances on the court.
In the last game, Wang Yi's magical 18 alley-oops have long made the Philippines a household name.
What kind of genius can complete 18 alley-oops in one game.
Is it Batala, the divine bird?
In ancient Philippine mythology, there is a divine bird called Batala.
This magical bird can do anything.
Wang Yi's performance on the court is just like this magical bird, omnipotent.
So Wang Yiru has a new nickname in the Philippines today: The Divine Bird.
Wang Yi really can't fall in love with this nickname.
God damn bird.
No matter how god he is, he is still a bird.
At the same time, the more than 50,000 spectators also included U.S. team players and U.S. coach Gregg Popovich.
Bobo watched the previous games of the Chinese team on TV in the hotel, but today he also came to the scene.
In terms of overall strength, the current French team is slightly better than the Chinese team by two or three.
Facing such a team can bring out Wang Yi's true strength, and only games like this have real reference value.
France's commentator today is their famous national mouthpiece, Rafael, who is now in his sixties.
This commentator once commented on the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games in the 2008 Olympic Games and is very familiar with Chinese culture.
It can be said that he is a Chinese expert.
The other narrator is a young man named Gabriel.
He is a young, energetic and handsome rich second-generation commentator.
He is a famous rich and handsome man in France.
At this time, the starting lineups of both sides have been given.
The starting lineup of the Chinese team: Zhou Qi, Shen Zijie, Sima Ming, Zhao Jiwei and Wang Yi.
Because the French team has the tower of Gobert inside.
It will obviously be difficult for the Chinese team to play inside.
So coach Du Feng planned to focus on attacking from outside the three-point line, but if you want to shoot three-pointers, you have to ensure rebounds, so he arranged a twin tower combination of Zhou Qi and Shen Zijie to grab rebounds with Gobert.
France team's starting lineup: Gobert, Fournier, Batum, Ntilikina, Luwawu.
All nba players.
And Fournier and Batum are both stable starting players in the NBA.
Gobert is one of the two core players of the Jazz and the best defensive player this season.
With such a lineup to play the Chinese team, it is no wonder that all the commentators and reporters were optimistic about the French team before the game.
In their opinion, although China Wang Yi is great, his teammate CBA.
How could Wang Yi and his CBA teammates defeat such a French team?
When the two sides were warming up before the start, Bobo's eyes fell on Wang Yi.
In his opinion, Wang Yi is the only breaking point for the Chinese team.
Only with Wang Yi's explosive performance and super high output can they win the French team.
Similarly, if China plays the US team, Wang Yi will need to perform even more explosively and produce absolutely super high output.
There were still 5 minutes left for the game to start. Coach Du Feng emphasized to the players on the sidelines the play style they had discussed the day before yesterday.
"Do you understand from the outside? We focus on the outside. Let Wang Yi's ultra-long three-point range stretch the front line, so that we have more space to pass the ball, and it will be more difficult for them to defend."
"Inside Zhou Qi and Shen Zijie should pay attention to blocking Gobert and protecting the rebounds. Today the task of you two is not to score, but to rebound!"
"The French team will definitely guard against Wang Yi's three-pointers, so Zhao Jiwei, you must always observe the situation on the court. As long as Wang Yi has an opportunity, you must pass the ball to him as soon as possible."
After explaining everything to all the players, coach Du Feng paused for a moment and finally looked at Wang Yi.
Although he said nothing, Wang Yi could feel his great trust.
This game depends on you.
When the personal strength gap between the two sides is too huge, the role of tactics will be infinitely reduced.
At this time, Wang Yi became the only breaking point for the Chinese team.
Only if he exerts absolute pressure on the French team can he win the game.
At this time, Wang Yi faced coach Du Feng and finally said what he had said to both Vogel and Walton.
"no problem."
When you play against the French team, you should train with weights.
At worst, I'll risk my life and die in this fight.
Finally, as the game started approaching, the moment he stepped onto the sideline, the system's cold but familiar prompt came to mind again.
[Please host to sign in]
"Sign in."
【Sign in successfully!】
[Sign-in reward: A junior Chris Paul experience card.]
See this reward.
Wang Yi suddenly showed a smile on his face.
What is the most classic thing about Paul?
Small versus big.
This is because he wants to pull Gobert out to train alone.
This can be done.
But what makes Wang Yi a little puzzled is why this experience card is only a junior one?
The previous games were all premium experience cards.
The answer given by the system at this time.
[Task: Complete 5 times in the first quarter to face Gobert’s small and big games.]
[Task reward: A junior peak shark experience card.]
Seeing this reward, the smile on Wang Yi's face became even wider.
Gobert will feel uncomfortable this time.
Chapter completed!
