Chapter 647 ACB Semifinals

Real Madrid Baloncesto is a professional basketball club in Spain. It was founded in 1932. Its home court is located in Madrid. It belongs to Real Madrid Club like Real Madrid Football Club, but it is still known to fans all over the world. soccer club.

But the Real Madrid Basketball Club is actually very good, and Turkey's Fenerbahçe Basketball Club and Russia's CSKA Basketball Club are giants in European basketball.

Real Madrid is one of the most successful clubs in European basketball. Whether in the ACB league or in the EL arena, they are the teams with the most outstanding records.

The Real Madrid basketball team has won 10 EL championships (the number of times ranked first in Europe), 33 ACB championships (the number of times ranked first in La Liga), and 24 Spanish King's Cup championships.

This is definitely a monster, compared with Real Madrid, Valencia is too small.

Today, Valencia will challenge the behemoth of the Real Madrid basketball team in an away game. According to the ACB's 2-2-1 competition system, this will be the first game of this series.

Madrid, Barclaycard Center Arena.

This is the home court of the Real Madrid basketball team, and the auditorium can accommodate 15000 people. At this time, the attendance rate is about 1%, that is, a little over [-].

Meng Yun called Xiang Long in advance, which surprised Meng Yun. This time, Xiang Long actually prepared the tickets for him in advance, even the hotel.

It wasn't until Meng Yun realized that all of this was arranged by Nicole.

Several people sat in the front position, and Nicole was with them. Nicole is Xiang Long's girlfriend. It's no secret. Nicole was there in many Valencia games, and many fans knew her.

But when they saw the person sitting next to Nicole, the fans were stunned for a moment, and then carefully identified it, and they were shocked. Damn, it's Meng Yun, Meng Yun of the Heat!
"Yeah, it's really him, why is he here?"

"I heard that he and Xiang Long are good friends. They should come to cheer for Xiang Long. Didn't you see him sitting with Xiang Long's girlfriend?"

"I'm his fan, I wonder if I can ask him to sign an autograph."

Although Meng Yun was wearing a peaked cap and wanted to keep a low profile, it still caused a stir. The live camera even gave him a close-up for half a minute.Even the on-site commentary specially welcomed Meng Yun's arrival, so Meng Yun had no choice but to stand up and wave to the fans.

For a while, the fans screamed and applauded like thunder.

"This popularity is even higher than that of Xiang Long." Nicole was a little annoyed.

At this time, the players from both sides entered the field one after another. Xiang Long saw Meng Yun and walked towards this side. Meng Yun opened his arms to hug him and said, "Come on."

Xiang Long nodded with a calm expression.

Players from both sides also saw Meng Yun, and several Valencia players whispered: "I didn't expect Meng to come here specially. It seems that he and Xiang have a really good relationship."

"With Xiang Long's character, it's really rare."

"Both of them are Chinese, so it's not surprising that they became friends."

"But Xiang Long is a Canadian citizen."

"Aren't Chinese Canadians Chinese?"

Naturally, these players couldn't be as excited as the fans when they saw Meng Yun. They were more envious. Meng Yun became the core player of the nba team at only [-] years old. , and even more popular, compared with Meng Yun, they are far worse.

Meng Yun and Xiang Long became the focus of the entire arena. People suddenly discovered that they were both Chinese, both young and talented, and they couldn't help but be amazed.

After some warm-up, the game started.

As a giant in La Liga, the Real Madrid basketball team has few opponents in the ACB arena. Naturally, it is not in vain. Their strength is very strong. It is not a single person who is strong, but the whole.

The physical talents of European players are actually not very good, but they have a delicate touch and skilled skills, and their basic skills are very solid, and they play consistently.

At the beginning of the game, Real Madrid showed excellent teamwork, using tactics to successfully tear apart Valencia's defense and hit the first goal.

Valencia counterattacked and the ball was given to Xiang Long.

Contrary to Real Madrid, Valencia relies on the star, that is, Xiang Long.

After all, Valencia is not a wealthy family with a low background and not many outstanding players. They can get here because of Xiang Long's personal ability. Xiang Long's average of nearly 30 points per game in the regular season can explain the problem.Such an average score per game is unbelievable in the European arena. Apart from Xiang Long's outstanding personal strength, it is Valencia's dependence on him.

"Pull away."

Xiang Long pulls the ball, others pull away, there is no tactical movement, not even a pick-and-roll, Xiang Long directly plays low singles, and before the opponent player comes up to help defend, he turns over and makes a jumper.

Seeing the ball, the corner of Meng Yun's mouth twitched. Isn't this the same way Xiang Long played when he was with the Virginia Commonwealth University Rams?One person picks the whole team, while the others watch from the sidelines.

It is definitely not possible to play like this, not in the ncaa, nor in the ACB.What's more, the opponent is the Real Madrid basketball team, the top giants in the European arena.

But Meng Yun heaved a sigh of relief after reading on.

"Valencia is indeed very dependent on Xiang Long, just like the Virginia Commonwealth University Rams in the pick-and-roll, but Xiang Long is not Xiang Long at that time." Meng Yun nodded secretly, "Now Xiang Long has matured a lot, He began to trust his teammates and knew how to use teamwork reasonably."

In a few minutes, Meng Yun saw that Valencia relied heavily on Xiang Long's personal ability, but Xiang Long did not blindly fight alone. In addition to personal offense, he also passed the ball and created opportunities for his teammates.

This is an improvement.

In fact, how could Valencia reach the ACB semi-finals if this were not the case?
Under the leadership of Xiang Long, Valencia played pretty well, and the score has been biting Real Madrid, and the most times it did not exceed 7 points.Until the end of the first quarter, Real Madrid led by [-] points.

After entering the second quarter, Real Madrid wanted to widen the point difference. Xiang Long stood up again. First, he was strong in the low position, with a crushing back and hard chiseling. Pushing the defender to the basket and turning over was a dunk.

The force was so strong that the basket shook violently.

"This guy is really strong." Meng Yun couldn't help baring his teeth when he saw it.

Guo Hai's eyes lit up, and he suddenly said: "Xiang Long's talent is indeed very high, and his physical fitness is very good. It is rare to see such a physical fitness in China. Meng Yun, what do you think will happen if Xiang Long can enter our Chinese men's basketball team?" Sample?"

Meng Yun frowned, looked at Xiang Long on the court, and fell into thought. If Xiang Long can join the national team, it will definitely improve the strength of the national team by a large margin.

But he is Canadian.

"Let's talk to Brother Yao after returning to China." Meng Yun secretly decided to talk to Yao Ming after returning to China to see if it's possible.

In fact, Meng Yun and Yao Ming mentioned Xiang Long before, but they never thought about the national team. After all, he hadn't even entered the national team at that time.
