NBA: Start with a Kareem Abdul-Jabbar template card

Chapter 87 From prosperity to decline
On the night when the Chinese team defeated the Australian team, the coaching staff of the men's basketball team focused on the match between Brazil and Russia that started in the early morning.

In this campaign, the highly anticipated Brazilian NBA insider combination did not show a clear advantage over Russia.

Splitter, who has become one of Duncan's most reliable helpers, only played 18 minutes and 26 seconds in this game, and was abandoned by the coach in the fourth quarter.

In the game, Splitter was completely at a disadvantage in the contest with Mozgov. When guarding the basket, he was attacked by his opponent many times, which exposed his current internal defense problems and shortcomings of insufficient confrontation.

Most of the time in the second half, the Brazilian coach trusted the insider of the beast more, and Varejao and Splitter, the first pair of insiders, were almost abandoned.

In the end, the Brazilian team, which was still leading by 6 points in the last 2 seconds, suffered a quasi-lore from the opponent and lost by 1 point.

At this time, only the Chinese team remained in Group B to maintain a complete victory.

……

The day before the match against Brazil, the fans of the Chinese men's basketball team received good news. The team doctor told reporters that the UAE's injury is fine, just a minor injury, which will not affect the match against Brazil.

Fans who heard the news breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, even the most optimistic fans will not think that without Yi Jianlian, who averaged more than 15 points per game in the first three games, the Chinese team can easily defeat the strong enemy Brazil.

On the eve of the Olympics, Brazil, which has Nene, Varejao, and Split inside and Barbosa outside, is only below Mold and West in the men's basketball strength list launched by the Associated Press and ESPN.

A user named "Small Smile Wins Trust" also reflected the views of many fans in the comment area of ​​the webpage.

"As an elementary school arithmetic problem, the Chinese team won an average of 6.5 points in the first two games against Russia and Australia, which are of medium strength in Group B.

Although I don't like Yidi, but Yidi's 15 points are there. What is 6.5 minus 15?Negative 8.5. "

"Isn't that right? It's more efficient for Yi Jianlian not to play and give Chen Xiao the right to shoot. Maybe he can win more." The user "I'm very smart" immediately retorted.

"Then why don't you let Chen Xiao go up and play alone? It's over if you give him the ball. Let's pay tribute to Marshal Zhang with 100 points in a single game." You hate him, he hates him, that's what it feels like.

However, some fans seriously replied: "Yi Jianlian's restraining role cannot be easily ignored. If he cannot play, Brazil, which has a heavy presence on the inside, will definitely target Chen Xiao with all its strength. In this case, his scoring contribution may need to be compensated by other players besides Chen Xiao, not to mention other contributions such as rebounding and defense."

……

Awesome, looking at the battle report in his hand, Chen Xiao can only say outrageous.

This year's Dream Ten team has a star-studded lineup, which may be more luxurious than Dream Nine four years ago.

The dark volute, without Wade's Three Heroes, Thunder Three Young Masters.

Against the weaker Nigeria yesterday, the Dream Ten team scored 29 three-pointers, over 7% of the field goal percentage, 156 to 73 to kill Nigeria with 83 points, and 156 points also broke the Olympic men's basketball game record.Olympic melon set an Olympic record with 10 three-pointers, scoring 14 points in just 37 minutes.

But the difference of 83 points is not actually an Olympic historical record, and it can only be ranked third.

China No.1 is also in London. In the 1948 London Olympics, the Chinese men's basketball team won a full Iraqi coach with 125:25.

……

When the ball came, Chen Xiao, who was in the low position on the right side of the basket, received the ball, facing the "man behind Duncan" Splitter behind him, and directly started to arch inside.

With two pushes, one foot has already stepped into the paint area.

Sensing his position and the strength of Split behind him, and listening to the unconscious humming behind him, Chen Xiao knew that the time had come. Before Nene could make up the defense on the other side, he exerted his strength again and immediately took a big step towards the bottom line with the ball. He pushed Split aside and quickly scored.

After the goal was scored, the Chinese team was 32 points behind Brazil at 39:7.At this time, it is already the third quarter of the match between the Chinese team and the Brazilian team.

In the first half, the highest score of the Chinese men's basketball team was Chen Xiao's 15 points, followed by Guo Ailun's 4 points, and Yi Jianlian scored 2 points in the half with only one mid-range shot.

Before the game, it was raining overnight, Sun Yue sprained his ankle during warm-up training, and Da Zhi, who was injured in the last game against Australia, was unable to play this game.And Yi Jianlian, who originally said he was fine the day before, was also troubled by a knee injury at this time. Obviously the team doctor spoke too early.

It was precisely because Sun Yue was unable to play that Deng Huade sent Guo Ailun and Liu Wei in the backcourt for the first time. Looking at the statistics, Guo Ailun, who is the second highest scorer in the team, is also worthy of the trust of the head coach.

The camera is on Chen Xiao who has just scored a goal, but his face is calm and a little helpless.

"It's too difficult. The situation Chen Xiao is facing is too difficult. At halftime, the Brazilian team put Split and Varejao in front of him in turn, and Nene was ready to help defend at any time. Even so, Chen Xiao almost grasped all the opportunities he could grasp. He has scored 17 points so far." Yu Jia sighed.

"Other teammates need to shoot goals. The more they fail to make shots, the more unscrupulous they are to double-team the opponent's help defense." Yao Ming also felt helpless watching the halftime situation.

But what can we do, on the offensive end, no one except Chen Xiao can score points stably and reliably, and just like Yao Ming said, others don't care about your teammates at all, and they just fight in groups, making it even more difficult for Chen Xiao to score.

In terms of defense, no matter what Chen Xiao is, he is alone. His job is to defend the inside line, and the outside line is frequently disrupted and missed, so that the Brazilian team always has open shots.And the 39 points in the half, or because their outside touch is not very good, they shot with an ordinary shooting percentage.

With a "beep", the referee signaled that Chen Xiao had made a foul move, an offensive foul.

Chen Xiao looked confused, looked at Varejao who fell to the ground in front of him, and turned to look at the referee who made a foul gesture. In desperation, he had no choice but to throw the ball aside, and did not choose to talk to the actor in front of him.

At this time, the game has come to the end, and the Chinese team has fallen behind by nearly 20 points, and there is no way to recover.

Finally, with the referee's whistle again, the Chinese team lost the first game of the Olympic Games with a score of 3:70 after three consecutive victories.

After the game, Chen Xiao came to the channel of the mixed zone, covered in heat and sweat, and had to face his first defeat in this Olympic Games and his second defeat this year.

Faced with the reporter’s regular questions about the loss, “We didn’t play well this time, we couldn’t connect to the offense, and the pass was suffocated. We will go back and make a good summary and play well in the next game.” Chen Xiao, who still scored 28 points in the face of many obstacles, could only seek truth from facts, and did not choose to blindly take responsibility on himself.

　It will be delivered in the third shift, something went wrong just now, and it has been adjusted, sorry!
