In the remaining group stages, Puerto Rico is a better team than Russia and Turkey. If the Chinese team wants to enter the next round with better results, it is best to win this game, because it may not be able to win when facing Russia and Turkey.

The Chinese team attaches great importance to this, while Puerto Rico is facing a great enemy.

The Chinese team has won two consecutive games, and one of them is a victory over Greece. As for Puerto Rico, they are not confident of defeating Greece. If the Chinese team does it, it means that the strength of the Chinese team must not be underestimated.

Especially Arroyo and Jose Valladar, two NBA players, they have a high opinion of Zhou Mubai and admit that they will definitely not be able to defend Zhou Mubai with their strength.

Even NBA players think they can't defend themselves, so it's useless to go up. In this way, how to defend Zhou Mubai is a big problem.

Manoro Snito is the head coach of this national team. He knows very well that with Puerto Rico's strength, it is difficult to achieve a good result in the World Championships, but it will look much better if you can defeat several teams that look stronger.

The Chinese team was not optimistic at first, and some people even thought that the Chinese team could not break through in the group stage, but after two games, the Chinese team was impressive and even had the style of a world-class team.

But Manoro Snito saw it clearly that the strength of the Chinese team is actually because Zhou Mubai is too strong. Other players can only be considered good players. In this international competition with many strong players, other members of the Chinese team are just general.

In other words, the Chinese team looks glamorous, but it is actually just a glamorous appearance.

Such a team is best in line with Manoro Snito's expectations - an opponent who looks strong but can actually work hard to defeat.

Even if Puerto Rico doesn't play well in the next game, he can go back and explain to domestic fans.

So, this game must be won, and it must be won beautifully.

As for whether Zhou Mubai is powerful or not, it is not his consideration.

Puerto Rico is a regular visitor to the World Championships, and they have attended eleven times in the past fifteen competitions.

The best result was the 11th World Championships, where Puerto Rico scored a major breakthrough and entered the semi-finals.

In addition, Puerto Rico has entered the top eight five times, and its results are remarkable.

It can be regarded as the mainstay of the World Championships participating teams. It has certain strength but is difficult to challenge the peak honor.

Although they are close to the United States, they are very particular about integrity, so they are extremely restrained against players with individual combat capabilities. In Manoro Snito's eyes, no matter how strong Zhou Mubai is, he is just a person.

So Puerto Rico not only has a chance to win in this game, but also has a great chance.

Because of the excellent performance of the Chinese team, this game attracted a lot of spectators. Of course, who these spectators came for? You can tell from the signs held by the young lady on the sidelines - they all came for Zhou Mubai.

The competition officially begins.

The Chinese team and Puerto Rico jumped, and Yi Jianlian won the Chinese team the first chance to attack.

Zhou Mubai advanced quickly, and after halftime, he signaled to spread space for Yi Jianlian, then hang the ball in. When Puerto Rico was attacked, Zhou Mubai suddenly cut in. Arroyo wanted to stop Zhou Mubai, but was suppressed and surpassed. Yi Jianlian passed the ball, Zhou Mubai scored after receiving the ball, and Puerto Rico's inside line didn't even have time to interfere.

Puerto Rico attacked, Arroyo did not dare to do too many moves in front of Zhou Mubai and found his teammate to pass the ball. Wang Shipeng was fouled while attacking. Puerto Rico's ball rights were made. After passing the ball, he found the open position and hit the middle distance.

The Chinese team attacked, Zhou Mubai broke through Arroyo, attracted Puerto Rico's defense, and then transferred to Wang Zhizhi on the outside. Wang Zhizhi was slightly hesitant and was able to make up for defense, so he could only pass the ball, and Zhou Mubai quickly came out to respond.

There was not much time left, so Zhou Mubai signaled to pull it away, and several breakthrough actions shook away Arroyo, and then took the three-point line directly.

Three-pointer hit again.

Manoro Snito frowned.

If Zhou Mubai can make a comeback, it will be difficult for them to attack him.

However, good news for Puerto Rico is coming soon. Wang Shipeng was slapped in a foul again in Puerto Rico's next attack. Wang Shipeng was slapped in two fouls in just one and a half minutes, and was already in trouble with fouls.

Deng Huade was a little hesitant - Should I replace Wang Shipeng?

To be honest, except for five starters, the rest of the Chinese team are not very strong. If the substitution is replaced, they may suffer setbacks. However, Wang Shipeng’s plan in the Chinese team cannot have more fouls, otherwise Puerto Rico will definitely attack Wang Shipeng.

Deng Huade made a quick decision to replace him, replaced Wang Shipeng, replaced Liu Wei, and asked Sun Yue to play the small forward.

Zhou Mubai also frowned slightly. Wang Shipeng is very important to him. A firm shooter and a shooter who can tear the opponent's defensive lineup is too crucial. Wang Shipeng immediately lost the power of the Chinese team's running position.

Fortunately, Liu Wei is also an old player. He knows what he is doing when he comes up, so he does not compete with Zhou Mubai for the ball, but takes the initiative to run and wait for the ball.

Zhou Mubai launched an attack, broke through and tear the opponent's defense, and then passed the ball out. The ball was passed to Liu Wei's hand, and there was an opportunity to have an open position, but unfortunately he didn't make it.

Puerto Rico feels quite hot tonight. Although Arroyo doesn't attack much, his teammates are quite reliable, so he beats the Chinese team in one quarter.

In the second quarter, Wang Shipeng came back and hit two three-pointers as soon as he came back, which made the situation come back.

Then there was a war of attrition. The defense intensity of both sides was quite strong and even a little rude. Zhou Mubai was slapped on the face several times, and even had an elbow that almost hit the face.

Zhou Mubai then realized that - no wonder he had such a big battle before. With Puerto Rico's defensive intensity, it would be strange if he didn't fight.

However, Zhou Mubai is used to such intensity of defense. His defense in the NBA is not much worse than this. This is the treatment of a superstar.

In the NBA, because most of his offenses were through breakthroughs and passing balls, or attacking the basket, there were often three or four people surrounding him to defend.

There are more people and more hands, and in order to show their toughness, some players often attack without light or heavy. That is, Zhou Mubai resists the fight. If someone else is replaced, it is normal for him to be beaten to the point of bleeding.

Zhou Mubai was not in a mood, but the rest of the Chinese team were in a bad mood, so his movements became bigger.
