Chapter 441 It's Time for Revenge

When the news that the Huaxia men's basketball team defeated the American Dream [-] team in an upset, a strong storm quickly blew up in the world basketball world. Every fan who did not go to the scene to watch the game or watch the live broadcast of the game subconsciously expressed doubts about the result. However, every authoritative media report indicated that the miracle of David defeating the giant Goliath was born again.

The result of this game naturally made Huaxia fans rejoice, even worse than when Huaxia won the right to host the 2008 Olympic Games.Those old fans who have been paying attention to Huaxia basketball since the last century are even more tearful. In their view, being able to witness the Huaxia men's basketball team reach the top of the world in their lifetime is simply the happiest thing as a fan.Even if it fails to win an Olympic gold medal, beating the United States in such an important game is enough to boast for a lifetime.

The American fans were naturally upset, but they didn't dare to point the finger at the Huaxia men's basketball team even though Huaxia had let Yao Ming go.Among the many American fans, the most embarrassing ones are undoubtedly the Timberwolves fans. They are very confused about this. Should they be happy or angry?
It stands to reason that they should be consistent with other American fans and criticize the Dream Ten team's loss in the Olympic men's basketball semifinals. However, it was their Minnesota hero Xu Hao who led China to defeat the United States, which is very embarrassing.In the end, they simply turned a blind eye and turned into neutral fans. As for what they think in their hearts, they don't know.

In addition to Chinese fans, Spanish fans were also in ecstasy. Before China defeated the United States, Spain had already obtained a ticket to the finals.Just as they were preparing to face the world's basketball hegemon, they received news that the United States was defeated by China.You must know that Spain has defeated China in the group stage, and this time the opponent also lost Yao Ming. Doesn't it become easier to win?In their eyes, the gold medal is already within their grasp.

Of course, when interviewed by the media, the Spanish players were relatively low-key, and Gasol’s speech was very representative. He said: “Although we have defeated China in the group stage, it is enough for them to beat the United States.” I have fully proved my strength, I believe this will be a fierce game, and it is not that simple to win."

But in fact, they are confident in themselves, and China is not a threat at all to them.Now that their biggest rival, the United States, has been eliminated, they, the second best team in the world, can win the championship.

However, the Spanish players didn't know that the morale of the Huaxia team who defeated the Dream Ten team was strong. They were not affected by the loss to Spain in the group stage at all, even though Yao Ming was definitely absent from the game.The reason is simple, they have another core, that is Xu Hao, in this game against the United States, Xu Hao has proved his leadership ability, everyone including Deng Huade believes that he can lead the team to revenge Succeed and be the last winner.

Xu Hao can naturally feel the changes in the attitudes of his coaches and teammates towards him, but he has not refused. In his view, this is his own responsibility and must be carried on his shoulders.And after a night of recovery, he felt that his physical fitness had returned to his best condition, and he had no problem at all against Spain, whose backcourt strength was not as good as that of the United States.

Xu Hao actually didn't have much feeling for the revenge battle played up by the domestic media. For him, every game is the same, and he needs to go all out.He will not do his best because a certain team has grievances with him, nor will he release water because a certain team has feelings for him. In his heart, any game is just a game.

After two days of rest, the final of China VS Spain is finally about to start.Surprisingly, even if China unexpectedly defeated the United States in the semi-finals, the majority of those who are optimistic about Spain's victory are still.

The reason is obvious.Originally, the U.S. men's basketball team did not bring a few serious centers to the Olympics this time, so even if Yao Ming was injured and retired, Huaxia still had the strength to fight.But Spain is different. The Gasol brothers are enough for any other team to drink a pot. The inside combination of Yi Jianlian and Ding Jinghui, which China uses most often, is not an opponent at all.Even if Huaxia still has Wang Zhizhi who is old and strong, but Spain also has Ibaka, and the inside line is completely unable to compete.

Although Huaxia's three-point shooting is very sharp, no one believes that they can still perform like the semifinals, and Spain will not give them this opportunity.When the outside line fails, it is natural that the closer to the basket, the easier it is to score. Spain, which has three major inside lines, can completely ignore the unexpected line play, and the inside line alone is enough for them to take advantage.

This is also the question Deng Huade has been thinking about before the game. It is too difficult to go head-to-head with Spain in the interior. No matter what kind of starting interior combination they put on, it will be difficult for Huaxia to take advantage. It is considered that the players have performed exceptionally.If you want to deal with Spain, you can't compete with them at the basket, that would be tantamount to asking for a dead end.

On the basketball court, the advantage of height is always relative.Although basketball is the sport of giants, it is not impossible for a small man to fight back when facing a big man. It is difficult to tell which one is easier to play with speed or height.The only thing that is certain is that if the height is at an absolute disadvantage compared with the opponent, you can definitely find a way from the speed.

For this reason, Deng Huade finally decided to take the initiative to change the formation after thinking and weighing all night long.Xu Hao and Wang Shipeng are still on the back line, Zhu Fangyu is at the third position, but Deng Huade does not put Ding Jinghui at the power forward position, but unexpectedly lets the tall guard Sun Yue play this position, and the center is still Yi Jianlian.This is a very obvious lineup of one big and four small, and it is not an ordinary big and four small. After all, Yi Jianlian mainly plays the fourth position, and he is still swinging upwards.

In this way, although Huaxia's average height continued to decline, it did not decrease too much. After all, Sun Yue was 2.05 meters tall. A magician with a height of 2.06 meters dared to replace Kareem Abdul-Jabbar as a center in the NBA Finals. Sun Yue It is not surprising to come to the team's fourth position.The most important thing is that Huaxia's lineup is very fast. Deng Huade believes that the big men in Spain must not be able to keep up with this speed. Then Huaxia's opportunity will come!
