From today on is the king

Chapter 786
August 8th is an exciting day for Chinese people.

This day is another regrettable day for a Chinese basketball fan.

Chinese flying man Liu Xiang tied the world record with a time of 110 seconds in the men's 12.91m hurdles final!

Liu Xiang became the most famous athlete in China, famous all over the world!
For Chinese sports fans, even for Chinese people, this is the pride of the motherland in their hearts.

But in terms of basketball, it is a pity that it stopped in the semi-finals.

The Chinese men's basketball team defeated the United States in the quarter-finals and entered the top four. It once again refreshed the best performance of the Chinese men's basketball team in the World Series. But on the afternoon of the 27th, they played the second game within 24 hours. The opponent was the Lithuanian iron-blooded muscular men's team...

The Lithuanian team just beat Serbia and Montenegro. When they played against Serbia and Montenegro, the Lithuanian team fully activated their iron-blooded style. The players of the Chinese team, who were already exhausted playing the US team, could not bear this game.

When he played against the United States, he had exhausted all his energy and was easily defeated by Lithuania 72 to 61. Rao Liu Mang made 26 of 10 shots and made 16 of 14 free throws.

On August 8th, the Chinese women's volleyball team made another brilliant achievement. First, they drew 28-2 with Russia, and the total score was exactly the same. The score in the first four rounds was 2-103!In the fifth decisive game, the Chinese women's volleyball team narrowly beat Russia 103-15 and won the Olympic gold medal.

On this day, the Chinese team met the Italian team that was ravaged by the Argentine team...

I met a group of steel muscular men again, the Chinese men's basketball team who had just been tortured by Lithuania and hadn't recovered yet, was ravaged by muscular men again...

Liu Mang still got 30 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists in this game, but it still didn't help, 59 to 68. Although the point difference was narrowed to 10 points in the end, it was limited to this.

With a record of 4 wins and 4 losses, the Chinese team finally ranked fourth in the world.

In the end, after losing two games in a row, domestic fans were more regretful than sad.

Because being able to kill the US team is the most perfect thing!

After the US team was killed by the Chinese team, in the 5-8 qualifying match, 110 to 77, 33 points to revenge Puerto Rico, but it can only be ranked No.5.

This is the worst ranking in US Olympic history!

It is the Chinese team that makes the US team feel this humiliation!Therefore, even if the domestic fans finally lose two games in a row and miss the medals, they are not angry or sad, only regretful.

Because as long as you beat the US team, that's enough!
Just like the Puerto Rico team, even if they were revenged later, it can be said that they pushed the US team to the third place in the group and let the US team be killed by the Chinese team!

……

……

August 8th is the end of the Athens Olympic Games.

Liu Mang has no way to go to the closing ceremony, he still has his own itinerary, the promotion of the next European station, because he happens to be in Europe, after Schwartz went to negotiate with the Blue Association, the Blue Association happily let Liu Mang go to the publicity, but let Liu Mang not forget to attend the celebration banquet in the imperial capital on September 9.

At 11:9 p.m., Liu Mang will set off from Greece to promote his sneakers in Italy, Germany, and France, three countries with a strong basketball atmosphere in the west of Greece. He will have to return to Atlanta to sign the contract in September. Schwartz has already finalized the contract and is waiting for Liu Mang to sign.

In terms of Olympic basketball, Argentina was invincible this year. In the knockout rounds, they were all crushing victories. They did not meet the US team or Spain. The other games were too easy to win, and the opponents had no strength to fight back. In the final, Lithuania won more than 40 points, 96 to 55.

Argentina ranked first in the world, Lithuania second, Italy third, China fourth, the United States fifth, Puerto Rico sixth, Spain seventh and Greece eighth.

The Chinese team and the US team are ranked fourth and fifth respectively, this time Liang Zi is considered to be tied.

But Liu Mang felt so excited to form such a beam...

On the morning of the 29th, Liu Mang packed up his things and prepared to go to the hotel to go to Italy with Dana, Levia, and Alexia.

Before departure, there was finally no training, no competition, no interviews, so Liu Mang could take a good look at the rewards of the system.

"Ding... Congratulations to the host for leading his team to rank fourth in the world in the 2004 Athens Olympics. The reward is 5000 superstar points."

"Ding... the buff of the national team: the light of the Chinese has been activated."

"Ding... Congratulations to the host for winning the title of scoring champion in the men's basketball competition at the 2004 Athens Olympics. The reward is 10000 superstar points."

"Ding...Because the host led the team to win No.2004 in the men's basketball competition of the 4 Athens Olympics, the positive image in the eyes of Chinese fans has improved..."

"..."

"..."

Liu Mang opened the main panel after reading all the rewards for this Olympic Games.

After finishing the finals and fulfilling the season goal, he was rewarded with 50000 superstar points, 30000 superstar points for the first championship, 20000 superstar points for the first championship MVP, regular rewards for the finals, regular rewards for the Olympics, promotion to the Olympic group stage, reaching the top four, and ranking fourth.

Moreover, he also used the magician's star card... Fortunately, it was rewarded, and the light of the Chinese was activated!

Thinking about leading the national team next time, almost all teammates can be promoted to the NBA bench level. Judging from the playing characteristics of these teammates, they are all skilled, and it is very likely that all of them can have a FIBA ​​rating of around 70!
This is already stronger than the absolute strength of the US team in this Olympic Games!And it is more reasonable than the US team lineup!
It's just that I don't know if the US team will dispatch the strongest blacksmith in the next World Championships?Liu Mang was looking forward to it.

Looking at the potion section, I found that the consumption of the Olympic Games is much higher than that of the finals. The primary injury potions used to treat minor injuries to teammates are huge. The physical potions consumed during the previous promotional activities were also a lot. During the Olympics, it was slightly less. There is no consumption of flying journeys, so it is relatively easy.

"Really, I have to add again. Fortunately, I have money, spend it!" Liu Mang, "Boss of the system, use 12700 superstar points for the primary superstar lottery."

"The host used 127 primary superstar value draws, consuming 12700 superstar points..."

"Ding... Congratulations to the host for obtaining 79 physical potions, 69 primary injury potions, and 97 skill upgrade cards."

Looking at 103 physical potions, 142 primary injury potions, and 98 skill upgrade cards, Liu Mang felt that there must be enough before the training camp started.

"System boss, it's time to upgrade."

"Ding... because the host's ability evaluation has been raised to 90, the basketball superstar section will be upgraded. The upgrade is suspended due to the Olympic Games, and the upgrade is continuing..."

Watching the 3-day countdown start again, Liu Mang now really feels like he has entered the offseason. It has been 10 months since the training camp started in October last year and ended in August now!
Liu Mang felt physically and mentally exhausted...

However, the training still needs to be trained. This is a persistent thing. Moreover, it is too happy for Liu Wei to break through the 90 ability evaluation. Call Maddie.

The main reason is to call Iguodala, Liu Mang thinks that there is no need for bodyguards, in case the little blacksmith and James want to get rough, and Liu Mang thinks that McGrady is also unhappy with him.

Just be careful.

Looking at the time, it was already past eight o'clock. Liu Mang was going to wake them up at the hotel where Dinah and the others were staying not far from the Olympic Village. It was time to pack up and go to the airport.

Yesterday, he said goodbye to his teammates, the Basketball Association, and the coaching staff. Liu Mang called the car rental company. When the driver of the car rental company called, he dragged his suitcase and prepared to leave the Olympic Village.

Just as I passed the living room, I found that my teammates had already arrived.

"Are you leaving?" Li Nan, who has been taking care of Liu Mang since he joined the national team, came up and gave him a hug.

"Yes, there will be activities in Milan this afternoon." Liu Mang smiled and hugged Li Nan.

"You will participate in the World Championships two years later. I can't wait to play the World Championships soon. It feels great to play with you." Li Nan expressed the feelings of everyone in the Chinese team.

"Of course I will participate. This feeling is great, especially when we beat the US team." Liu Mang said with a smile.

I hugged every teammate and played for the country together. It can be regarded as carrying a gun together, especially defeating the United States together. This group of people has feelings.

However, I don’t know how many people will leave when we get together next time. Sun Yue, Wang Shipeng, and Chen Jianghua have already started to take the lead on the outside line in 2006. The three towers of inside line Yi Jianlian, Wang Zhizhi, and Yao Ming have already begun to take shape. By that time, the older generation of players will inevitably withdraw.

But that’s something that can’t be helped. Like Li Nan, he’s just 30 years old, and he’s a pitcher. It’s not a big problem for him to fight for another four years. For a center like Battelle, although Liu Mang doesn’t have a good relationship with him, his strength is still very useful against the opponent’s center. He also has shooting ability, but he will be over 30 in two years.

Guo Shiqiang is also 29. It is hard to say whether he will be able to continue playing in two years. The less developed basketball is, the shorter his career life will be.

However, thinking that Yi Jianlian will make great progress in two years, and with the addition of Chen Jianghua and Sun Yue, Yao Ming will become even better, and he will definitely become even better. Liu Mang is full of expectations for the World Championships in two years' time!
