Healing Basketball

Chapter 1015 1015. This is the battlefield
Being surrounded by opponents to sign autographs after the game...is very new.

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

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.

However, teams other than the few 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 the group photo and returning to the locker room to take a shower, Liu Xiu rolled her dead fish eyes.

After being promoted to a level, there is actually pressure to be promoted.

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

In the evening, the U.S. beat Germany 116-87 for an easy win.

When the US team reached the finals, even if it was No.4 in Group B, it was as if they were in the finals. They tried their best to eliminate all possibilities of being upset.

They haven't won a medal in three consecutive World Series, they can't afford to lose.

八强赛最后一场西班牙队VS立陶宛队，靠着加索尔的19分17板3助攻3盖帽、费尔南德斯17分、卢比奥3分4板3助攻3抢断、卡尔德隆单场4个三分球拿到12分3助攻……西班牙队以81比76险胜立陶宛队挺进四强！

Watching the American team beat their opponents easily and advance easily, watching the Chinese team advance steadily without much effort, 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 all 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 in the semi-finals at 22:4 pm on the [-]nd, and the match between China and Argentina will start at [-]:[-] pm.

...

"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 rested in the afternoon. The three apprentices followed Liu Xiu to the Wukesong Gymnasium again to watch the women's basketball game at two o'clock.

Zhu Fangyu babbled all the way, Du Feng and Yi Jianlian really admired Master at this time, they could actually hold back the second child's snarky mouth.

But the master seems to be a talker...

When a group of four people came to the player viewing area on the court, there were bursts of cheers on the scene. 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 was greatly boosted, and the blow of losing in the semi-finals the day before yesterday was 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 was over.

陈楠大爆发，拿下全场最高的29分，加上苗立杰16分5助攻、卞兰17分9板……中国队在半场落后13分的情况下完成大逆转，以94比88险胜俄罗斯队，时隔16年后再获奥运会奖牌！
The last time the Chinese women's basketball team won an Olympic medal was at the Barcelona Olympics in 92, when it won the best silver medal in team history.

After the game, Liu Xiu and the 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 8, those who followed the Olympic Games focused their attention on the men's basketball semifinals.

There are no other attractive events this afternoon... 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, it will be fine to 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 US team started fiercely, with both offense and defense!
Relying on Wade coming off the bench, he 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 US 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 100 points 95 to 5.

The US team called a timeout and put on a combination of Kidd, Deron, Kobe, Anthony, and 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.

最终，靠着韦德的27分、科比的20分9板3助攻、德隆的17分6助攻……美国队以118比109险胜西班牙队，率先晋级决赛！
...

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 onlookers from both teams straightened, 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 was no way. At that time, I thought that 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 hell wants to play against the United States.

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

At the end of 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 cleaned up their emotions 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.

Ten minutes later, the fans changed, but there was no big difference. Just now when the Chinese players entered the stadium, the previous group of fans had already started cheering, but now it is just a different group of fans cheering.

As the game approached, the atmosphere grew frenetic, making Ginobili feel like he was on the road to Portland...no!This frenzy is even stronger!
These people don't regard them as opponents, but as... enemies?
Ginobili had never been on the battlefield, but the atmosphere made him feel like he was going to the battlefield, and he was fighting alone against more than 8000 people... No!

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

At the same time as the pressure came, a surge of passion also emerged 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: National Team Exclusive Quest.

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

Reward: Victory baseball cap.

Victory 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 had lost his mind, Quickly withdraw your attention.

Haven't gotten the reward yet.

You have to win tonight's game first!

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

...

At 3:[-] in the afternoon, the match between the Chinese team and the Argentine team started.

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

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

But Ginobili is already one of the strongest outsiders, and Scola is the fourth strongest insider after Gasol, Yao Ming, and Nowitzki.

In terms of personal ability, even if they are 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, turn 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, in and out of the basket, can score in any position, and scored 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!

Play the game, watch the performance, and 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, who was at a disadvantage in terms of height and wingspan. 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 [-]%, and his three-point shooting percentage is over [-]%.

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

The single-defense frontal cap is the most eye-catching label of Sun Yue, who is more than two meters tall but mainly plays point guard, in this Olympics.

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.

On 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.

Back from the timeout, Ginobili catches the ball within the top arc of the three-point line without taking time, and directly withdraws and makes a three-point shot... "Crack"... Sun Yue's frontal block, although late, arrived!
