Since the coach and the core of the team said so, others naturally had no objections.
So at the following pre-match press conference, a reporter asked Park Jaejoong and Park Inseung to talk about their evaluation of the Chinese team.
Park In-seung said: "The Chinese team has the foundation of a traditional strong team. Their 1994 golden generation has entered the top eight twice in the Olympics and the World Championships. At that time, they were the well-deserved number one in Asia. Now they have welcomed the king.
Yi, the Chinese team has also ushered in a comprehensive renaissance, and their ability to defeat the top three teams in the world is enough to prove their strength."
"We dare not say that we will become their opponents. We can only communicate with them with a learning attitude."
"Wang Yi is the strongest player in the world, and now they have the most promising center Pang Bo, so the current China team is definitely a world-class team."
After the South Korean team's head coach Park In-seung spoke, their captain, their core center Park Jae-joong, spoke next.
Park Jaejoong has shoulder-length hair and tied a bunch of long hair behind his head.
At this time, there was a strand of hair blocking his right eye. He tilted his mouth and blew upwards to blow away the strand of hair.
Then he smiled into the phone and said:
"Wang Yi has always been the player I admire the most. His classic dunks are unforgettable. I have watched all his classic games. There is no doubt that he is the number one player in history. Many people are still
Discussing who is the number one in history between him and Jordan, in fact, I think there is no need to discuss it at all. Even Jordan himself admitted that Wang Yi is the number one in history, why does this kind of debate still exist?"
"And they have the famous coach Gong to lead the team. It's hard to lose under such circumstances."
"So as the head coach said, when we play against the Huaxia team, we can only have a learning attitude. So we hope that the Huaxia team and Wang Yi will be merciful and not embarrass us too much."
The remarks made by the two of them caused an uproar among fans in both China and South Korea.
On the Korean Internet:
"Axi, when will we, the people of the Republic of Korea, surrender to the Chinese?"
"Park Jaejoong and Park Inseung, you are already embarrassed enough, get back here!"
"Why did you choose a girl to lead a group of girls to compete in the Men's Basketball World Cup this time? This is against the rules. Can't you choose a few men?"
The Chinese fans were very excited.
"Even the tough talker has given in. Brother Yi really has you!"
"Hahaha, when have you ever seen Bangzi so timid? This is hard power."
Of course there are some people who are very sober.
"Don't be fooled by the superficial behavior of the sticks, they are the meanest in the arena."
"Facts have proven their despicability many times before."
"Maybe this is their delaying strategy."
At the same time, within the Huaxia team, although some young players were complacent and thought that it was the hard power of the Huaxia team that made the Bangzi team surrender, the old players did not think so.
Zhou Qi just returned from buying an egg-filled pancake from a nearby Chinese restaurant.
While eating egg-filled pancakes, he said: "I have played against the Korean team many times, and I know their morality very well. Just as we hate them, they also hate us very much, so don't be fooled by their hypocrisy.
deceived."
Shen Zijie just took a shower after training and said while rubbing the dead skin on his heels:
"Indeed, I have played against them so many times. No matter what tricks they play before the game, their ultimate goal is to defeat us. And once we are defeated by them, they will not behave like this, but taunt us. They will mock us endlessly."
Director Gong also nodded: "Since our generation has played against the Korean team, they have never shown any kindness to us. There must be another purpose for saying this today."
Wang Yi nodded while talking about this: "Yes, there must be another purpose. So no matter what their purpose is, we still fight at our own pace. In short, we should not hold anything back, even when facing South Korea Team, we must use all our strength to defeat him!"
Of course, although Wang Yi and the others decided to strike hard during the game, they still behaved very kindly at the following pre-match press conference of the Chinese team.
After all, courtesy reciprocates.
They praised the Korean team for its organization and discipline, and praised the Koreans for being the fairest in competition.
This made everyone in the Korean team secretly happy, not because the Chinese team praised them, but because the Chinese team showed kindness, which made them feel that their evil plot had succeeded.
The Chinese team, including Wang Yi, has been paralyzed by them.
The time came to 8 o'clock in the evening, it was prime time again, and it was Lusail Stadium again.
It seems that every game of the Chinese team is arranged in the Russell Stadium, the largest, most spacious and with the best conditions.
Although the arrangement of the team's games and venues is arranged by the competition organizing committee sent by FIBA, this is Qatar after all, and Qatar's opinions are often listened to.
King Tamim of Qatar specifically specified that the Chinese team's game must be arranged at the largest Lusail Stadium.
The Russell Stadium was built by the Chinese. There is nothing wrong with letting the Chinese play games in the stadium built by the Chinese.
There are no changes to the Huaxia team's starting lineup.
Still Wang Yi, Zhao Rui, Sima Ming, Zhou Qi and Pang Bo.
The South Korean team's lineup consists of one senior and four juniors.
One is their center Park Jaejoong.
He is 2.18 meters tall, strong and has good physical fitness.
Especially when it comes to rebounding, he is a good player.
Among the four primary school students outside, there is a pair of twins, Kim Tae Hyun and Kim Tae Hee.
The other two people are Ma Donggen and Kim Mancheng.
These four are all typical 3D players.
Moreover, the height of these four people is almost 1.98 meters.
All four players can switch defenses.
In other words, as long as the four of them rotate, they can defend the opponent's perimeter without distinction.
And all four of them have good three-point scores.
In this competition, among the four of them, the one with the lowest three-point shooting percentage was 38.5%, and the highest one was 45%.
On average, the three-point shooting percentage of these people is 41.9%.
This is quite terrifying.
This is how the Korean team plays now.
Just like the way the Magic played back then.
Big center Park Jaejoong sat in the center to grab rebounds, while the other four players continued to shoot three-pointers.
It was with this style of play that they defeated the Japanese team and then the French team.
Only then did we reach the top 8.
Speaking of which, their style of play would be really scary if accurate.
If they were on target, even the American team would have enough to drink.
At the beginning of the game between the two sides, when Wang Yi stepped onto the sideline, a system prompt came in his mind:
