Healing Basketball - Chapter 1015 1015. This is the battlefield

   Chapter 1015 Chapter 1015. This is the battlefield

   After the game, being surrounded by opponents to sign autographs...is very new.

   Liu Xiu heard the other party say "Beat USA" when they hugged and took a group photo, and suddenly realized that he seemed to be regarded as the leader of international basketball against American basketball!

   This seems to have been said before, but it is not popular among fans.

Fan groups are against each other. In the international arena, fans of Scola, Gasol, Yao Ming, and Nowitzki are not convinced. Liu Xiu's competitors also include Manu Ginobili, Spanoulis, and Navarro. , Arroyo... et al.

  The Chinese team, the Spanish team, the Argentine team, and the Greek team are also dissatisfied with each other. The common feature of the four teams is that they have defeated the dream team.

  But teams other than the major championship teams believe that the Chinese team is the one that has the most hope of completing the great cause of resisting the United States.

   After taking a group photo and returning to the locker room to take a shower, Liu Xiu rolled her dead fish eyes.

  Promoted a level, and the pressure came out.

   If you are not careful, you will bear the expectations of so many people.

  In the evening, the US team defeated the German team 116 to 87, winning easily.

  The U.S. team reached the finals, even if they finished fourth in Group B, it was as if they were in the finals. They tried their best to prevent any possibility of being upset.

  Having failed to win medals in three consecutive World Series, they couldn't afford to lose.

In the last game of the quarterfinals, Spain VS Lithuania, relying on Gasol's 19 points, 17 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 blocks, Fernandez's 17 points, Rubio's 3 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 steals, Calderon's 4 triples in a single game Scored 12 points and 3 assists...Spain beat Lithuania 81-76 and advanced to the semi-finals!

   Watching the American team beat their opponents and advance easily, watching the Chinese team play steadily and not need much effort to advance, jealousy distorted the faces of Diamond and sister-in-law...

  The gap in the difficulty of promotion is also a bit bigger!

  The opponents of the two teams were iron-blooded fighters and hand-to-hand fighters. They only won by a few points, and they didn't dare to relax in the last few tens of seconds.

  Since the four advanced teams are the top two in the group, they will have a day off tomorrow. The U.S. team will play against Spain at 2:00 p.m. on the 22nd, and the match between China and Argentina will start at 4:30 p.m.

  …

"Master, good grades are good. I heard from people in the past that they had to train and show their efforts to the people above them the day before the competition. Before the competition, they were already exhausted by those annoying things. The head coach doesn't dare to disobey them at all, and now when you say you have a rest in the afternoon, they dare not fart..."

   On the morning of the 21st, the Chinese team had a training session and had a rest in the afternoon. The three apprentices followed Liu Xiu to the Wukesong Gymnasium again to watch the women's basketball match at 2 o'clock.

  Zhu Fangyu was chattering all the way, but Du Feng and Yi Jianlian really admired Master at this time, they were able to hold back the second child's snarky mouth.

  But the master seems to be a talker...

  When a group of four came to the player viewing area on the court, it caused bursts of cheers. The women's basketball players who were preparing for the game looked around and cheered excitedly when they saw Liu Xiu and others.

The women's basketball players were very happy. They also went to the men's basketball game yesterday to watch the game. They just yelled at the sidelines and asked Liu Xiu if he could come to the game today. At that time, Liu Xiu answered "Yes", and they thought Liu Xiu Just be polite, I didn't take it seriously, I didn't expect it to come!

  The morale of the women's basketball players has been greatly boosted, and the blow of the loss in the semifinals the day before yesterday has been wiped away!

   At two o'clock in the afternoon, the bronze medal match between the Chinese team and the Russian team started.

  After 1 hour and 46 minutes, the game ended.

Chen Nan broke out and scored a game-high 29 points. In addition, Miao Lijie had 16 points and 5 assists, Bian Lan had 17 points and 9 rebounds... The Chinese team completed a big reversal after falling behind by 13 points at halftime, winning 94 to 88 Narrowly defeated the Russian team and won the Olympic medal after 16 years!

  The last time the Chinese women's basketball team won an Olympic medal was at the Barcelona Olympics in 1992, when it won the best silver medal in team history.

  After the game, Liu Xiu and her three apprentices were invited to take a group photo.

  In an interview, Liu Xiu said: "I am very lucky to see such a wonderful game, but they are putting pressure on us..."

  …

  On the afternoon of August 22, those who followed the Olympic Games focused their attention on the men's basketball semifinals.

  There are no other attractive events this afternoon... The Men’s Table Tennis Quarterfinals is considered a relatively popular game in China, but the Chinese team’s player is Wang Hao. In the end, just see if the score is 4-0 or 4-1.

   At two o'clock, the game between the US team and the Spanish team started.

  As always, the U.S. team started fiercely, combining offense and defense!

  Relying on the bench, Wade scored 13 points in the second half of the first quarter, and the US team scored 38 points in the first quarter!

But the U.S. team has a small lead. They defended well, but the U.S. team was prepared and had similar game experience. They also played team offense with all their strength from the beginning. The U.S. team defended well does not mean it defended well. The Spanish team Scored 34 points in the first quarter.

  The U.S. team led by only 4 points in the first quarter!

  The U.S. team players, who have been unfavorable since the start of the Olympics, are quite surprised.

   In the second quarter, the Spanish team scored 31 to 30. After halftime, the Spanish team narrowed the point difference to 3 points!

After returning from the intermission, the offensive performance of the two teams declined, and both sides began to shrink and block the middle. At this time, Janeway could not score, and both sides replaced the stable offensive and defensive lineups. The score was 22 to 20. After three quarters, the point difference came to 5 points!

The U.S. team finally had a relatively clear lead, but at the beginning of the last quarter, Navarro scored consecutively on Wade, one three-pointer, two 2+1s, plus two three-pointers passed to Calderon from the flank. Hit, the Spanish team scored 15 to 5, leading the US team by 5 points 100 to 95.

  The US team called a timeout and replaced Kidd, Deron, Kobe Bryant, Anthony, Kwame Brown.

First, Kobe hit a mid-range shot in a singles, followed by Deron and Kwame Brown picking and splitting the ball to Kidd for a three-pointer, and then Kobe made a steal and counterattack and hit the three-pointer. Anthony rushed to grab the offensive rebound and there was no second shot. The offense was thrown to the top arc again, Kobe caught the ball and shot...Scored!

  The US team played a wave of 8-0 and regained the initiative 103-100.

Afterwards, relying on the defensive combination of Kidd, Kobe, and Kwame Brown, the U.S. team firmly contained the Spanish team's offense. Controlled, played quite well, and played a wave of 15 to 9, firmly suppressing the Spanish team, and did not give the Spanish team a chance to counterattack.

  In the end, relying on Wade's 27 points, Kobe's 20 points, 9 rebounds and 3 assists, and Deron's 17 points and 6 assists... the US team narrowly defeated the Spanish team 118 to 109 and advanced to the finals first!

  …

  The Chinese team and the Argentine team came to the scene early and watched the last quarter of the game.

  When Navarro led the team to counterattack to a climax, the necks of the two teams of onlookers stretched out, and some even started cheering directly.

   I don’t know if the Spanish team will hate them after the game. Kobe’s expression at the time was extremely stinky, as if he met someone who owed him money, and he was extremely ruthless on both offense and defense.

   But there is no way, I thought the US team was going to be overturned.

  The two teams onlookers are confident that they can enter the final and can play against Spain. Who the **** wants to play against the United States.

  It's a pity, Angel City's fantasy backcourt is too fierce.

  After the first semi-final, the Chinese team and the Argentine team re-activated their bodies on the spot. They had already completed the warm-up before and reactivated their muscles and joints.

  The players of the US team and the Spanish team did not leave either. They came to the sidelines to dry off their sweat, put on their training clothes, and watch on the spot.

  The U.S. team observed their opponents in the final. Although the Spanish team did not make it to the final, they still had a bronze medal to fight for. They were frustrated and unwilling to lose, but they were professional. They calmed down and studied their next opponent.

  In order to retaliate against Liu Xiu for cheering for the Spanish team just now, Anthony, Kobe, and Kwame Brown loudly cheered for the Argentine team on the sidelines.

  Liu Xiu returned a foolish look, ignored them, and focused on preparing for the battle.

  Tens of minutes later, the fans changed, but there was no big difference. When the Chinese players walked into the stadium, the previous group of fans had already started cheering, but now it is just another group of fans cheering.

  As the game approached, the atmosphere in the field gradually became frenetic, making Ginobili feel like he was going to Portland to play... no! This frenzy is even stronger!

   These people don't regard them as opponents, but as... enemies?

   Ginobili has never been on the battlefield, but this atmosphere made him feel like going to the battlefield, and he was fighting against more than 18,000 people alone... No!

   Ginobili looked at Scola, Delfino, Oberto, Prigioni, Gonzalez...he was not alone.

   At the same time as the pressure came, a passion also appeared in Ginobili's heart—to conquer this ancient oriental country!

   In the world of basketball.

  Ginobili's pride was conveyed to Liu Xiu through his sharp eyes.

  At this moment, Liu Xiu felt that she shouldered the honor of the motherland!

  He opened the system panel, and after watching the women's basketball bronze medal game yesterday, he also triggered a task.

   "Medal Pressure: Exclusive mission for the national team.

  Goal: To win the Olympic men's basketball medal.

   Reward: Victory Baseball Cap.

  Victorious baseball cap: After the host wears it and goes to watch the Chinese delegation compete in other sports, the athlete will be encouraged and his confidence will be improved.

  Note: 1. Encouragement and confidence will not make a person's ability stronger, but will make him less likely to perform abnormally; 2. Use with caution, athletes who are already highly confident may become overconfident after being encouraged. "

It’s not suitable to wear this hat to watch the Universe Dan’s game, but the final match between Universe Dan and Li Zongwei was over yesterday, and he was going to watch the women’s basketball game at that time, so he didn’t have time to go...Liu Xiu suddenly realized that he was thinking about it, so hurry up Withdraw your attention.

   Haven’t gotten this reward yet.

   You have to win tonight's game first!

   As long as you win the semi-finals and guarantee the silver medal, the task will be completed directly.

  …

   At 3:30 in the afternoon, the match between the Chinese team and the Argentine team started.

  The starting lineup of the Chinese team is still Liu Xiu, Wang Shipeng, Zhu Fangyu, Yi Jianlian, Yao Ming; the starting lineup of the Argentine team has not changed, Prigioni, Ginobili, Delfino, Scola, Oberto.

  After the start of the game, the two teams played very anxiously at the beginning. Liu Xiu and Yi Jianlian launched an offense in the pick-and-roll, and Ginobili's sudden score combined with the three-point tactic of covering the running position in the high area, the two teams competed at the beginning.

  Ginobili's ability evaluation is 97, Scola's ability evaluation is 95, not as good as Liu Xiu and Yao Ming.

   But Ginobili is already one of the strongest players on the perimeter, and Scola is the fourth strongest player on the perimeter after Gasol, Yao Ming, and Nowitzki.

  In terms of personal ability, even if it is not as strong as Liu Xiu, who is about to fill up, or Yao Ming, the overlord of the restricted area, the overall overall strength of the Argentine team is no worse than that of the Chinese team!

   Moreover, the Argentine team was prepared for the Chinese team's opening onslaught. Unlike the Spanish team who was caught off guard in the first match of the group stage, they were also preparing for the opening onslaught. The two teams played back and forth!

   Relying on Zhu Fangyu's right corner to catch the ball, he turned around and hit a three-pointer. After the first quarter, the Chinese team overtook Argentina 32-30 by 1 point and entered the intermission.

   In the second quarter, Silver Fox decided to play defense and replaced the combination of Liu Xiu, Sun Yue, Wang Shipeng, Du Feng and Yao Ming.

   Offensively let Liu Xiu and Yao Ming fight hard.

  The reason for making this decision is that in the confrontation, Scola is like a loach, going in and out of the basket, scoring in any position, and scoring 12 points in a single quarter.

  In addition to limiting Scola's offense, there is another reason - Scola made two fouls in the first quarter!

  The game, watch the performance, seize the opportunity.

In the second quarter, Liu Xiu and others failed to cause Scola to foul, but the rough defense reduced Scola's scoring efficiency. In the second quarter, Sierka took as many as 5 shots, but only scored two goals to get 4 points.

   With the Chinese team's style of play, Ginobili can't get inside at all, except for the occasional chance to counterattack and attack the frame.

  The outside line was covered by Sun Yue again, and his height and wingspan were at a disadvantage. Ginobili had no chance outside the line, and the opponent only defended his three-point shots.

   Mid-range shooting opportunities can be created, but the problem is that Ginobili can't make mid-range shots. In this Olympics, his shooting percentage from the free throw line is less than 30%, and his three-point shooting percentage is over 40%.

   Kobe, James, Paul and others on the sidelines are all betting whether Ginobili will be hated by Sun Yue tonight.

  Single-defense frontal big hat is the most eye-catching label of Sun Yue, who is more than two meters tall but mainly plays point guard, in this Olympic Games.

  In this Olympics, Sun Yue got a total of 8 blocks, averaging 1.3 blocks per game, which is more than his average of 1 steal per game.

   With 9 seconds left in the second quarter, the Argentine team scored only 18 points. The Chinese team, relying on Yao Ming and Liu Xiu, two masters inside and outside, really left the Argentine team scoring idle!

  But the Chinese team only got 19 points.

   In the last attack of the first half, the Argentine team had the ball and called a timeout.

  The current score is 51 to 48, with the Chinese team leading by three points.

   After returning from a timeout, Ginobili caught the ball within the top arc of the three-point line without taking time, and directly retreated and made a three-point shot..."Snap"...Sun Yue's frontal block was late but arrived!
