basketball never sleeps

Chapter 56 Which door to use when getting off the plane?

Head-to-head conflicts can tear teams apart, while crushing forges authority.

The team's backup center, Battelle, needs to miss two games temporarily due to a recurrence of his back injury. It remains to be seen whether he can play in the future.The official men's basketball team used a notice to put an end to this invisible farce.

If the original men's basketball players had more admiration for Yao Ming and Mo Wen, after Yao's roar and Mo Wen's punch, they turned into awe.

After eliminating discordant voices, the men's basketball team finally has an overall look.

However, after the farce of the men's basketball team was about to end, the Dream Six team, which came to the same arena, fell into a terrifying silence in the locker room.

Because just now, they lost to Puerto Rico, which was easily crushed by them in the warm-up match, and they lost a humiliating 20 points.

In the locker room, they can still hear the cheers of the audience who have not dispersed from the sidelines.

Since the establishment of the Dream Team in 92, for three consecutive years, the Dream Team has not played a game in the Olympic Games.

As a result, as soon as this year came up, the Dream Six team gave everyone a big job. Not only could they lose, but they could also lose badly.

Many American audience across the Atlantic couldn't believe it when they read the morning newspaper. They thought that waking up would be another big victory. Meng Liu would definitely bring back the gold medal as a matter of routine. As a result, hell, is it April Fool's Day?
No matter how many wins the Dream Team wins, it is not news, but as long as it loses, it is big news. If it loses by 20 points, Kennedy will not be able to steal the headlines of the Dream Team once again!

Athens is not big, create a myth!
Larry Brown, Popovich and Zoe were trembling with their hands covering their faces. They didn't feel right when the team was stalemate in the first quarter. Sure enough, the team made waves in the second quarter.

The Dream Six team only scored 5 points in the entire second quarter!
Yuan Datou was the emperor for 83 days. Larry Brown, the champion coach, was stripped of his yellow robe after only 60 days. The road to defeat was shorter than he imagined.

Yao Ming roared, the Dream Team was defeated, and the men's basketball became the top player in the Olympics overnight.

The Chinese team played against the New Zealand team in the second game.

There is no suspense. The united Chinese team, together with Mo Wen and Dayao, took the lead and achieved a 20-point advantage in three quarters.

莫闻17投10中，三分6中4，罚球2中2，砍下26分9篮板8助攻4抢断2盖帽的伪三双。

姚明则在内线18投10中，罚球6中5，砍下25分12篮板2助攻5盖帽的恐怖数据。

The two fired alternately on the inside and outside, piercing New Zealand's defense, and their outside core Philip Jones on the offensive end was defended by Mo Wen and scored only 14 points, and only made 6 of 1 three-pointers. Their main center Max also scored only 10 points under Yao's defense.

The performance of other Chinese players is also much better than on the court, the main reason is that their mentality is correct, they dare to fight and fight hard, they can defend if they can't attack, and they don't shake their hands when they catch and shoot open. For Mo Wen and Dayao enough.

In the third game, against the strong and strong Argentina, Yao was repeatedly troubled by fouls, but Mo Wen still dragged the game to the fourth quarter.

It's not that there are no Chinese players who have relapsed. Mo Wen used to be slapped twice, and the disease was cured when the medicine arrived.

It's a pity that Dayao, who received two fouls in the first quarter, was blown off by full fouls in the fourth quarter. Without the involvement of the inside line, and the quality of other players' screens is not enough, it is difficult for Mo Wen to rely on himself. Break through this Argentine line of defense.

He hasn't yet developed a body that can crush others. It is difficult to break double-teams purely by technical experience, not to mention that his shooting level is not top-notch.

Although only Ginobili is an NBA player in the current Argentine team, the rest of the starters also have the potential to play in the NBA. If Mo Wen remembers correctly, this Argentina will have 7 or 8 players in the NBA in the future players.

"It would be great if Wang Zhizhi was here, the three of you are a perfect match!"

Yunus sighed. He knew that Mo Wen was very capable of playing pick-and-rolls, but no one in the current Chinese team could provide him with enough cover quality.

Dayao has enough stature, but he is not suitable for pulling out too much. Ba Xing, he can be used as a post. As far as his movement speed is concerned, Mo Wen may have to be double-teamed after the pick-and-roll is over.

Mo Ke and Yi Jianlian have to practice their body weight again. There is nothing to say about it. After repeated repetitions, only a big one can meet the standard for Mo Wen's pick-and-roll.

But, it's a pity.

I heard that both Mo Wenyao and Da Zhi will be with the Heat next season, and with Mo Wen acting as a mediator, maybe things will turn around.

In the end, the Chinese team lost 79 points to Argentina 86:7.

莫闻20投10中，三分球5中2，罚球5中5，拿下27分10篮板7助攻3抢断，跟拿下了23分的吉诺比利打了个五五开。

Dayao was plagued by fouls and only played 28 minutes in the game, scoring 17 points, 15 rebounds and 3 blocks.

Although this game lost 1 point more than the one against Spain, the other Chinese players praised both the coaches, Dayao and Mo Wen.

Although the ability is not good, but they try their best.

The remaining two opponents, Italy and Serbia and Montenegro, are not easy roles. When everyone thought that the task of the Chinese team's top 8 would not be completed, the Chinese team insisted on winning two victories.

In the game against Italy, Mo Wen's touch exploded in one game, and he shot 6 of 5 from beyond the three-point line, directly blasting Italy's outside line.After Mo Wen was double-teamed, Li Nan and Liu Wei hit open shots many times, which opened up the space and relieved Mo Wen's pressure.

Mo Wen scored a game-high 30 points. Dayao made 12 of 7 shots from the interior and 2 of 2 free throws. He still won the game with only 16 points.

In the battle against Serbia and Montenegro, the high-spirited Chinese team showed the strongest defensive attitude since the group stage, fought a defensive battle against Serbia and Montenegro, and finally won the game by three points 72:69.

There is joy in China, because the men's basketball team has completed the goal of the top 8 and tied for second place in the group stage. This is already the best result achieved by the men's basketball team.

"Shaved?"

"of course."

"Satisfied?"

"That's not it."

"China now has 18 gold medals, 9 silver medals and 7 bronze medals. Which door do you think you go through when you get off the plane?"

Dayao was silent.

The Olympic delegation has an unspoken rule. Those who have won medals go to the front hatch, receive flowers, and receive condolences.

Although the top 8 has met everyone's expectations, is it really glory?
"You kid is really disappointing, it's not that you can't beat you, so I have to give you two punches today!"

"hehe"

The Chinese team is still celebrating, while the dream team in the other group has fallen into dead silence again.

In the game just now, they lost to Lithuania by 4 points. This time, the optimists Duncan and Iverson also lived in Bengbu.

After 5 games, the problems of the Dream Team have been cleaned up and put on the table.Most of their players are not used to the rules of FIBA, and are still playing with the habits of the NBA. FIBA ​​advocates confrontation, and at the same time pays attention to shooting and space, which makes this group of stars who can only perform dunks very uncomfortable.

Duncan is okay, he can play anywhere with his big basic skills. At most, his shooting percentage will drop because the opponent stays at the basket all the time. The penalty for cheating fouls is much harsher than in the NBA, and the escalation of the confrontation made him feel uncomfortable.

Originally, Meng Liu's physical talent would have a great advantage in counterattacks alone, but the coaching staff headed by Larry Brown was determined not to let Duncan go off the court, and he didn't like to use the three rookies with stronger athletic ability. Bree pushed back with a few outside shots, but the effect was not good.

Under the rules of net points and wins and losses, the US team successfully qualified for the fourth place in the group stage for an unprecedented time.

"That year, I saw Jordan lying on the ground holding the trophy and weeping. At that moment, I thought that if I could become a men's basketball player, I must win everything. Now the Olympic semi-finals are in sight, and delisting is not far away. We have to consider whether this is our only chance in this lifetime."

In front of the camera, Mo Wen plagiarized famous quotes from later generations without feeling guilty, and also stated the goal of the men's basketball team.

There are only 3 games left before delisting. When everyone can create miracles, no one can calm down.

The Chinese team was lucky. In the first round of the knockout round, they met Puerto Rico, who was the weakest in Group B.

83:83
During the race, the two teams were tied.

"Steady, steady, now as long as we hold the ball to Dayao and Xiao Mo, we can win."

"Defense is very important. Coach Harris made a substitution. This is a very bold substitution. He replaced Mo Ke and Li Nan with Yi Jianlian and Du Feng, who are more physically strong. This is very obvious."

"Look at the ball, Mo Wen caught the ball from outside the three-point line and followed Du Feng's screen, and made a three-pointer—hit! This is a priceless three-pointer!"

"Zhu Fangyu flew to save the ball, good shot, good job!"

"Looking at Dayao's free throws, I believe that our "Oriental Giant" will not let us down. With these two free throws, we have a 4-point lead, 18 points in 4 seconds, and we are only one step away from the semi-finals. !"

"Arroyo missed a three-pointer, Yi Jianlian grabbed the rebound, and he threw the ball to the frontcourt. The game time was over, we won, and the Chinese team won!"

"Final Four! The Chinese men's basketball team has made history, they reached the semifinals!"

The commentary in front of the TV was roaring, roaring, and crying, and that kind of joyful feeling was passed to the hearts of every watcher.

When Mo Wen made the last three-pointer, the land of Shenzhou was already shaking at 11:[-] pm.

And when the whistle sounded for the end of the game in front of the TV, the excited roars awakened the dreams of many people.

　It's a bit late, I went to eat too,

　　There is a lot of water in the Olympics, and the Olympic chapter will end tonight. I know that many book lovers don’t like to watch men’s basketball, so thank you for your support in these two days. There will not be many dramas of the national team before 08. up.

　　Finally, let me mention that it will be on the shelves on the 21st, and it will be updated at that time, and the subsequent updates will also be adjusted to 9K per day or more.
