Chapter 160 Team First!

This playful, streetball-like action made Nocioni stunned.

Two months ago, he had seen such a move on the basketball court of the National Christian Academy in Washington. At that time, it was an old man with white hair and wrinkled face.

Nocioni recalled the appearance of the old man in his mind, and then glanced at Sun Zhuo's face...

"That old man is him!" The shock in Nocioni's heart reached an unparalleled level. Maybe the hair can be dressed up and the wrinkles can be faked, but the eyes can't be changed. The two have exactly the same eyes!

"I have long suspected that the old man was a young man, otherwise he wouldn't have such a good bounce, but I never expected that his real identity is the grandson of the Lakers!"

Nocioni gradually understood why Sun Zhuo targeted him like this. He was on the sidelines that day, and indeed he talked about Sun Zhuo with his friends, and his words were very disdainful, but Sun Zhuo probably couldn’t understand the Spanish they used at that time. If he I understood it at the time, and I must have made a fuss as an old man on the spot. Could it be that afterward, by some coincidence, someone translated their conversation?

"Oops, I not only offended him that day, but also provoked the American men's basketball team!" Nocioni swallowed, nervously looked in the direction of Wade and others in the audience, and found that Wade, Marb Both Li and Odom looked at themselves fiercely, wishing to go on the court right away and tyranny themselves.

Nocioni was completely frightened, he offended Sun Zhuo and the entire Dream Six team at once!
"What's wrong with you?" Seeing Nocioni's strange expression, Ginobili stepped forward and asked.

"I...I'm fine." Nocioni didn't dare to tell Ginobili the truth. He didn't dare to let his teammates know that he had caused trouble. Sun Zhuo targeted him because he provoked him first.

Originally, he was not strong enough, but now with a guilty conscience, Nocioni was completely lost in the attack. Under Sun Zhuo's strict defense, he either missed the ball or was blocked by the defense.

In the match between Argentina and China in the previous life, Nocioni was the leading scorer, but in today's game, he failed to score a single point in half the game and made many mistakes, which directly caused Argentina to fall behind China by double digits in the half.

"What's wrong with you? You can't be afraid of Sun just because he targeted you. You have to fight back, you know?" the Argentine coach reprimanded Nocioni.

fight back?If Sun Zhuo was a small character, of course he would dare, but in this half, Nocioni has fully seen Sun Zhuo's ferocity and talent, plus the previous words of contempt for Sun Zhuo, Sun Zhuo has held back for two months You are fighting yourself in anger, how can you fight back with him?

Since Nocioni was completely out of shape, the Argentine coach simply abandoned him in the second half, which is equivalent to the loss of a general in Argentina. Argentina can only rely on Ginobili and Scola in the second half.

In the second half, Sun Zhuo focused on Ginobili and defended his three-pointers. If he was able to break through and score every time, then Sun Zhuo would admit it. However, FIBA ​​did not defend for three seconds, and Ginobili wanted to stay in the paint all the time. Scoring is not easy, the most important thing is that the tandem between him and his teammates is terrible. Ginobili can always find the most suitable point for his teammates, and then help them score.

The strong team is indeed a strong team. In the absence of Nocioni, Argentina even caught up with the point difference. Fortunately, Sun Zhuo stabilized the army and continued to score goals to prevent Argentina from overtaking.

In the end, Argentina felt bad in the fourth quarter and failed to turn the tables. The Chinese team narrowly beat Argentina and won three consecutive victories in the group stage, continuing to sit firmly at No.1 in the group stage!
After this game, the Chinese team really scared everyone. They even won the two top teams in the world, Spain and Argentina. Could it be said that the Chinese team also has the strength to compete for the championship?
This is the first time that other countries view the Chinese team in this way.

Even Wade also believes that the Chinese team has become the number one rival of the US team!

After the Argentine team, the Chinese team has two opponents left in the group stage, one is Italy and the other is Serbia and Montenegro. In fact, with the current results of the Chinese team, they can stop winning. It doesn't matter if they lose all the next two games.

And if it is considering the opponents in Group B, then the Chinese team will deliberately lose all of them, because the No.4 in Group B is very likely to be the US team.

At present, the U.S. team has only lost one game. Harris does not believe that the U.S. team will lose in the future. If you come down, you will win consecutive games, and then get first or second in the group.

But Sun Zhuo knew that the US team would lose in the future.

What Harris meant was to try his best to win the game, win if he can, and of course not force it if he can't win. After all, he has already qualified, so he doesn't need to work too hard, and the focus should be on the knockout round.

In the match against Italy, everyone was a little relaxed in mentality. They were not as excited as the previous three games. Italy is a strong team. It won the silver medal in the previous life. The score against the Chinese team in the group stage also won the Chinese team by [-] points. The team was severely abused, and Sun Zhuo always remembered this. In the Athens Olympics, China lost the worst defeat to Italy.

With the idea of ​​revenge, Sun Zhuo didn't intend to make Italy comfortable this time, and Italy also wanted to win. They had won and lost two before, but Sun Zhuo's three-pointer was extremely accurate, but Italy still didn't believe in evil. Another chance for Sun Zhuo's bottom corner, but Sun Zhuo didn't miss a three-pointer from the bottom corner.

The Italians are terrified, why are they so powerful?vote one in one?
There are no NBA players in the team, so they have no experience. They don’t even know how BT Sun Zhuo’s corner three-pointer is. They gave Sun Zhuo so many shots. It will be "defensive". Finally, relying on the advantage established by the three-pointer, the Chinese team won another game and has locked the No.1 position in Group A.

However, the U.S. team lost to Lithuania that day.

From the ranking point of view, the possibility of China and the United States meeting is getting bigger and bigger.

"Ah! Why did the US team lose again! Oh my God, they lost to Lithuania! What can we do? We are now the first in Group A, and they are very likely to be fourth in Group B! We finally played such a once-in-a-lifetime game In the last year, it was hard to create history and compete for the top three, but if you meet the US team in the quarter-finals, wouldn’t you only get seventh or eighth? That would be too bad luck!” China The team's assistant coach, Jonas, almost collapsed after learning that the US team lost to Lithuania.

Not only him, but the leaders of the basketball management also kept sighing. They all wanted the Chinese team to get good results. If they win the quarterfinals, they can play in the semifinals. Even if they lose in the semifinals, they can at least win a bronze medal. They are already very satisfied if they can win the bronze medal in basketball.

But now, if you meet the US team in the quarter-finals, according to the current Olympic rules, if you lose, you can only compete for No. 8, so what's the point of winning so many games in the group stage?
Just like in the previous life, the Spanish team won all the games, and the Chinese team won two games with great difficulty and narrowly qualified.
And Sun Zhuo had never had such worries.

Is Team USA scary?
