I’m Really Playing Basketball

After the group stage, spectators all over the world have been eyeing this match between the Chinese team and the US team.

　　All of a sudden, the leader of the Chinese delegation immediately got up.

　　 The Chinese men’s basketball team is one of the gold medal points of the Olympic delegation. The forward-looking plan of the delegation’s leadership is to sit back and watch one. It is still very uncomfortable to meet this ‘one’ in the quarterfinals ahead of time.

　　 Although the leaders had been prepared for this a long time after agreeing to Chen Xiao's decision, there was still a difference between imagination and reality.

too hot!

　　Seriously, this game between China and the American Dream Team is too hot!

　　 Since the Chinese delegation participated in the Olympics, it has never made such a big move in the world.

　　 Why are the leaders of the Chinese delegation so nervous now?

　　 is not only the public opinion of the world.

　　 Even the domestic super leaders are paying attention.

　　 This is different.

　　In an instant, the rising height of the game between the Chinese team and the American Dream Team is no longer a competition for the Olympic gold medal, and the height has been infinitely increased.

　　 The quarterfinals between the Chinese Men’s Basketball Team and the American Dream Team is the last men’s basketball game on August 26, um, the finale.

　　 After the Chinese Men’s Basketball and American Dream Team’s schedule came out, Chen Xiao and the Chinese team’s players were not as nervous as the leaders of the delegation.

　　 You should eat, drink, and play.

　　 On August 24, 2004, Chen Xiao and Yao Ming took the Chinese men's basketball team to the scene to watch the women's volleyball team Guliang and the Japanese team's quarter-finals. They cheered for the women's volleyball team.

　　 Since the Chinese men's basketball team won the second place in the World Championships in 2002, the Chinese women's volleyball team and the Chinese men's basketball team have become national idol teams. After winning the second place in the 2002 World Championships, rm Daily has also developed a men's basketball spirit.

　　 It can be said that the Chinese men's basketball team went to the home court of the women's volleyball team to catch the heat. For the Chinese audience in front of the TV, it is simply a "dream linkage".

Amidst the cheers of the Chinese men’s basketball team, the women’s volleyball team members competed for 1 hour and 15 minutes at the Peace Friendship Stadium, beating the Japanese team with a total score of 3-0 (25-20, 25-22, 25-20) and successfully advanced. Semi-finals.

After the game, Chen Xiao took a group photo with Feng Kun, Yang Hao, Zhou Suhong, Wang Lina, Zhang Na, Liu Yanan and other women's volleyball girls. Unfortunately, Zhao Rui Rui Guliang was injured in the group match and the US team. Olympic Games.

　　 As the brother of the Chinese delegation and the Chinese sports world, Chen Xiao chased the women's volleyball team for a group photo like a little fan, which surprised many viewers in front of the TV.

　　 But when Chen Xiao and the women's volleyball guys were interviewed by CCTV, the audience in front of the TV suddenly realized.

"I grew up listening to the stories of the women's volleyball girls. Before I knew Jordan, the magician, and Larry Bird, the names of the sports stars I heard were Lang Ping and Qiu Aihua. They have always been my idols. ."

　　Lang Ping aside, the idol of many generations of Chinese people, Qiu Aihua is one of the leading figures of the previous generation of women's volleyball team, a native of Jiangsu Province.

　　 The women's volleyball guys are more than just Chen Xiao's idols alone, they are the idols of several eras.

　　 To be honest, the silence of the women's volleyball team over the years has made many people forget the great influence of the women's volleyball team. After Chen Xiao awakened everyone's memory, the Chinese audience in front of the TV once again recalled the greatness of the women's volleyball team.

　　 It is not only the audience in front of the TV who are immersed in the atmosphere of Chen Xiao's ‘praise’ and ‘praise’. Even the women's volleyball team Gu Liang is very excited.

　　 So that when Chen Xiao and the men's basketball team left, the head coach of the women's volleyball team, Lao Chen, thanked Xiao Chen.

　　 At the moment when Zhao Ruirui is back and injured, it is reasonable to say that the women's volleyball guys are very nervous, especially after defeating Japan, the next semi-final match is likely to be Cuba, which defeated them in the group stage.

　　 Chen Xiao is so whole here, it is just a shot of blood for them.

　　 Women's Volleyball Mushrooms are never afraid of pressure, what they want is this sense of recognition and glory.

　　 "Xiao Chen, thank you so much this time, thank you for helping us recall our former glory, this is so important!"

　　 "Guide Chen, we will once again stand on the top and overlook the world."

　　 After Chen Xiao and the boys of the Chinese men's basketball team left, Dayao has been envious.

　　 "Xiao Chen, I also want to have a whole country who will still remember me 20 years later, just like Lang Ping back then."

"Yes, Dayao, as long as we can win five consecutive World Championships, 20 years later, 30 years later, or even 100 years later, we will write Chinese history textbooks with Lang Ping and the women's volleyball heroes and become the memory of a country. "

　　 "Five consecutive championships in the World Series..."

　　 Yao Ming and the men's basketball players next to them just admire the women's volleyball team. They really didn't expect to get the treatment of the women's volleyball team in China.

　　 "If we start from this year's Diamond Cup, we need to hold the world championship until the 2008 Beijing Olympics."

　　Damn!

　　 The Diamond Cup in 2004, the Olympic Games in 2004, the World Championships in 2006, the Diamond Cup in 2008, and the Olympic Games in 2008. Isn't it just the right World Series for five consecutive championships? !

　　 Xiao Chen, you really dare to think about it!

　　 Ha ha, is there anything I dare not think about. If I dare not think about it, do I need to improve my strength?

　　 These are all sources of improvement in my strength!

　　 For a while, the Chinese men's basketball players were said by Chen Xiao. After such a imagining, everyone was as if they had been beaten up.

　　What dream team six, what Larry Brown, in the face of this great vision, it is really as light as a dust.

　　 Looking at the Chinese men's basketball players who were stimulated by Chen Xiao, inspired by the women's volleyball guys, and screamed at this time, as the head coach, Faye Wong was very happy.

　　 "I think Xiao Chen can be the captain now."

　　 After Faye Wong's guidance, the teacher Zhang next to him kept nodding.

　　 This suggestion is reasonable!

　　 The two foreign assistants next to him, Spoelstra and Byron Scott, are also looking at Chen Xiao with bright eyes.

　　 "Chen has never noticed what a great leader he is."

　　 Byron Scott finished speaking, Spoelstra next to him nodded very seriously.

　　The time came on August 26, 2004, the day of the quarterfinals of the men's basketball team at the Olympic Games.

　　 On this day, the top eight of the Olympic men's basketball team will fight each other.

　　 The first to appear are Lithuania, the first in Group A, and Argentina, the first in Group B. Speaking of this game, it is necessary to say that Argentina can’t steal chickens.

　　Argentina originally wanted to be third, but it was unexpected that Italy was too strong and fell to fourth in the group.

　　 The Olympic Games in Lithuania are quite strong.

　　 Although it is said that the top three in Group B, Lithuania, Greece and Puerto Rico have beaten the Dream Team, but Lithuania is the super strong team that is truly recognized.

　　Greece and Puerto Rico actually look average in Argentina.

　　 But the agency is too clever to calculate the name of Qing Qing, who would have thought that Dior in Italy?

　　 In fact, Italy was the only team that threatened the Chinese team in this Olympic group match. In the end, Chen Xiao and the Chinese team both fought and won by 3 points.

　　 Italy is very strong in this Olympics.

　　 In fact, the finals of this Olympic Games in history are Argentina and Italy.

　　 In history, Argentina had bloodbathed Italy, but in the group stage in history, Argentina clearly underestimated the enemy and was defeated by Italy.

　　 I have to say that people in South America are always so romantic.

　　 Anyway, I have to finish the p appointment with tears.

　　 It can only be said that Argentina is still strong. In this match, led by Ginobili and Scola, Argentina defeated Lithuania 90-83.

　　 The fourth team in group a actually defeated the first team in group b.

　　 "In this Olympics, is Group A so strong?"

　　 After this game, many people were shocked.

　　 Soon, the results of the next two games added another shock to this shock.

　　 Spain, who was second in Group A, faced Puerto Rico, who was third in Group B. In the end, Spain defeated Puerto Rico 92 to 75.

　　 In the match between Italy, which was third in Group A and Greece, which was second in Group B, Italy also easily defeated Greece 100 to 85.

　　 In the previous three quarter-finals knockouts, Group B defeated the three teams of the US team and was wiped out.

　　 This result not only shocked the entire Olympic stadium, but really, the players of the American Dream Team and the American audience in the United States waiting for the Chinese team to play against the American Dream Team were also shocked.

　　 "The three opponents we lost in the group stage unexpectedly reached the knockout stage and couldn't win a match? How could this be possible?!"

　　Tnt’s studio, Pippen and Barkley, who were in the Sixth Team Crazy Dream, were shocked.

　　"Larry Brown said that the failure of the Meng Six Group in this group match was related to the fact that the group was too strong. This is simply a face-slap on the spot!"

　　 "As a result, Larry Brown's face was smashed, Spain, Argentina, Italy, this is too cruel, Larry Brown is too miserable!"

　　 In fact, Larry Brown was extremely shocked by this result.

　　 To be honest, before the results of the three knockout games were released, Larry Brown really believed that the US team was so miserable in the group stage because the opponent was too strong.

　　 Lithuania, Greece, Puerto Rico are very strong.

　　 But after these teams played against the three opponents in Group A, Larry Brown felt like he was crazy.

　　 Except for Lithuania and Argentina, who were barely open by five, the other two teams that defeated them were defeated!

　　 The first in this group and the fourth in group a barely opened five-to-five, and the score was behind.

　　 Seriously, this result is really hurting self-esteem and self-confidence.

　　 You always thought that the one who defeated you was the Supreme Master of Martial Arts, the master of Kung Fu, but in the end you discovered that the one who defeated you was actually a ‘little vagrant’.

　　 This is just an example, not to look down upon Lithuania, Greece and Puerto Rico.

　　 In short, after the end of these three games, many American journalists who felt that although the US team was fourth in the group, they were very likely to beat the Chinese team.

　　 "You know, the strongest team in Group A is not Argentina, Spain and Italy, but the Chinese team!"

　　 "I have a hunch, this game, Dream Six team will make big news!"

　　 Listening to the boos from the audience, many American journalists already felt that they were in pain and excited at the same time.

　　 Maybe they want to eat their own blood buns!

　　 At 22:15 on August 26, Greece time, and at 3:15 on August 27, Beijing time, the match between the Chinese Men’s Basketball Team and the American Dream Team officially kicked off.

　　 After the two teams warmed up, the starting players of both sides appeared on the court.

　　 On the Chinese team, the starting players are center Yao Ming, power forward Pago, small forward Zhu Fangyu, shooting guard Li Nan, and point guard Chen Xiao.

　　 After the Chinese team’s starting players were released, the audience was surprised to find that Batt, who had been playing as a substitute in the previous group match, replaced Wang Zhizhi as the team’s starting power forward.

　　 Of course, it may be surprising to the fans and spectators, but to many professionals, it is actually not that surprising.

　　Puerto Rico, Greece, and Lithuania have defeated the US team three times in the same way. If the Chinese team does not use it, it would be mentally retarded.

　　 So, seeing the large double-center lineup of the Chinese team this time, the head coach of the US team, Larry Brown, really vomited.

　　As a famous American coach, he is not only successful in the NBA, but Larry Brown, who is more successful in the ncaa, cannot be said to be completely unfamiliar with the rules of international basketball.

　　 He is familiar, and ncaa did not defend for three seconds.

　　 However, a very real problem is that.

　　 ncaa's young American insiders will not use the three-second rule of not defending at all. This is incomparable with the big centers in the international arena.

　　 In Larry Brown’s understanding, his understanding of defending three seconds in the ncaa and the recognition in the Olympics that there is no defense for three seconds is not a thing.

　　 It can be said that this trip to the Olympics really washed away the three views of Larry Brown and the American basketball world.

　　 In the United States, in the nba, whether it is ncaa or in the nba, win the defender and win the world.

　　 This is an iron law, so whether it is George Carr or Larry Brown, when they lead the dream team, they place an unusual emphasis on defense.

　　 But obviously, this thing that is considered a golden rule in the NBA will not work at all in the international arena.

　　 In the international arena, the shooters have always won the world. When everyone is shrinking and all defenses, your shooting is better, then you are the stronger one.

　　 This time the Meng-6 team failed so much in the Olympics. In fact, many expert coaches in the United States have already seen this problem.

　　 However, seeing the problem does not mean that the problem can be solved, and even Larry Brown did not even think about solving the problem.

　　 Because of the failure of three games, let him change his basketball philosophy for decades?

　　 How do you look down on Larry Brown's stubbornness?

　　 Therefore, the starting lineup of the US team in this game is point guard Ron Howard, shooting guard Iverson, small forward Richard Jefferson, power forward Tim Duncan, and center Howard.

　　 Anthony was still sitting off the court. After the first game of Puerto Rico, Anthony was nailed to the bench.

　　 After the defeat in Puerto Rico in the first game, Anthony was the ghost that Larry Brown caught.

　　 By the way, in history, Xiao Tiantian was the inner ghost caught by Larry Brown.

　　 What a miserable sweetie.

　　 By the way, the Dream Six team led by Larry Brown this time cannot be said to be completely unchanged from the past.

　　 At this Olympics, he still trusts a rookie, Dwight Howard, the Spurs' No. 1 pick this year.

　　Fighting Angola, Larry Brown also seriously reflected on his previous game, and felt that Duncan playing center is indeed unstoppable or even useless in the international arena.

　　 These insiders in the international arena can shoot too much and put Duncan on the center. Isn't this restricting Duncan's defense and allowing Duncan to be shot?

　　 So when playing Angola, Larry Brown made a slight change. Of the two young centers Okafor and Howard, Larry Brown would of course choose Howard.

　　 Howard is a Spurs player, his assistant, Popovich’s person, is naturally his direct line.

　　 And Howard did not let him down in the game against Angola, hitting those African black uncles, it was like a small monster that came out of the basket, killing and killing.

　　 In Larry Brown’s opinion, the little monster he released this time is not only capable of ravaging Angola’s insides, and they cried and called cold, but at the same time, Yao Ming, who was able to grab the Chinese team, cried and called cold!

　　 Well, in the face of the shrinking of the double-center defense of international teams, Larry Brown used defense as the basis and developed a strategy that does not rely on shooting but relies on offensive rebounds to break.

　　Because these international centers lack athletic ability, their athletic ability is much worse than those black uncles in Angola. Howard can kill those black uncles, Yao Ming, Battelle and those European centers. What's the problem?

　　 Of course there is no problem!

　　 Therefore, in the face of the huge pressure that is now overwhelming, Larry Brown is now worried, but there is still a glimmer of hope in his heart.

　　That is, if he comes out with a strategy of breaking through the double center and shrinking the defense, then he will change the history of basketball, then he will once again gain a huge reputation, then he will once again return the king!

　　 The Dream Six team, who didn't shoot, forced the conservative Larry Brown to make such a new change.

　　 Facts have proved that there is really everything in the dream.

On the court, after Howard pressed Yao Ming to grab the first offense of the game, Duncan first received a pass from Jefferson and faced Pago’s defensive inside with a left-handed hook shot and scored. This is considered a good match for the United States in this game. A good start.

　　 Duncan's technique is always so unpretentious and it makes people wonder how to defend.

　　 Duncan’s strength in the opening and those dreams that Larry Brown had had before, really, it really made Larry Brown suddenly full of confidence for a while, like a drowning man who has caught a life-saving straw.

　　 But soon, Larry Brown knew how different reality is from dreams.

　　 The first offense of the Chinese team in this game, Chen Xiao saw that it was high school student center rookie Howard who defended Chen Xiao, so what else is there to say?

　　Of course it is to organize Yao Ming's singles Howard!

　　 You Duncan can come out to help defend as a power forward.

　　 We are afraid of you, can't we avoid you?

After Chen Xiao broke through Luo Ge's defense with the help of the pick-and-roll, facing Duncan's help, he shook his hand and threw the basketball on his hand to Yao Ming, who was inside, and Yao Ming stunned the young Howard in the footsteps of a magic city under the basket. After that, the right hand cut and clasped with one hand!

　　 Seeing the footsteps of Yao Ming, the magic capital of all four, Chen Xiao envied him, this hand is so beautiful!

　　 "It seems that I need to go to Olajuwon to study if I have time!"

Later, after Iverson’s Butterfly Pierced a two-point shot and hit the iron, Yao Ming again received Chen Xiao’s ground pass. While facing Howard’s successful back, he also caused a frizzy Howard’s foul. Three points" success!

　　 When the Chinese team relied on Yao Ming to score Howard's five consecutive points, Larry Brown, who was still dreaming on the sidelines, woke up from his dream in an instant.

　　How many offensive rebounds can Howard grab the Chinese team?

　　 He still doesn't know.

　　 But, Yao Ming's success rate in the opening singles Howard is too high, right? !

　　Seriously, if he changes to an NBA team, he definitely can't tolerate Howard's single-defense efficiency.

　　 I am afraid it has already started spraying.

　　 But in the dream team...

　　 Now, he really can't squirt!

　　 He really didn't expect that this game, his dream, would just be shattered.

　　Meng-6 had a shooting player who did not defend, and was beaten as a ghost by Larry Brown.

　　 In this case, Howard's athletic talent rush has actually become a life-saving straw for the Dream Six team.

　　 This life-saving straw is so scary as soon as it comes up, and it's not just that Larry Brown feels the dream is broken now.

　　 The American players on the court and the American reporters on the sidelines also had a very bad premonition.

　　 I have to say that their hunch is really not wrong.

　　 In the first quarter, Larry Brown must trust Howard in order to break the game, no matter what.

　　 In the entire first quarter, Howard made Yao Ming 5 of 5 in a single quarter and 3 of 3 free throws. Yao Ming scored 13 points in a single quarter.

　　 100% shooting and scored 13 points in a single quarter.

　　 Dayao is crazy.

　　 So when the first quarter ended, Yao Ming was so excited.

　　 However, seeing the excited Dayao, Chen Xiao made a joke: "Dayao, such a good opponent, you actually gave him two fouls in the first quarter. Isn't this killing a chicken and getting eggs?"

　　 "……"

　　 Good fellow, why didn't I think of you?

　　 Xiao Chen, you are too witty!

　　 Chen Xiao finished, Dayao regretted it, and all the Chinese players next to him laughed.

　　 "We have never been so easy to play on the American team~www.NovelMTL.com~"

　　 Seeing the relaxed smiles on the faces of the Chinese team players, many Chinese spectators and professionals admired them.

　　 At the same time, many spectators in other parts of the world are also amazed by the lightness and laughter on Chen Xiao and the Chinese players' faces.

　　 This is the American Dream Team!

　　 When will there be teams in international basketball that can face them with this mentality?

　　 However, watching the score of 28 to 20 at this time, everyone was relieved again.

　　 Whether it is from the performance on the court or the gap in the score, the first quarter, the Chinese team against the American team, can be said to be a complete suppression!

　　 And the Chinese team's center Yao Ming against the US team's center Howard, it is even more sling to describe!

　　 Looking at Howard on TV, Chandler thought of the summer when he was 18 years old.

　　 How similar is this scene?

　　 "Dwight, sling, it's just started."

　　 Looking at the young Spurs on TV who replaced him into the Dream Six team, Chandler smiled.

　　 Hanging, starting from the Olympics!

　　 This is pretty good.
