Chapter 799 Fighting Argentina Again
When the men's national Olympic basketball team was making its final warm-up at the OAKA Olympic Indoor Stadium in Athens, the North American side was still reeling from the US team's complete defeat to the Chinese men's basketball team the day before.

Although the US team successfully defeated the Lithuanian team and won the bronze medal in the three or four competitions that had ended before, this result is already the second worst result of the US men's basketball team in the world basketball world since the 1992 Barcelona Olympics. What is even more unacceptable to the Americans is that they still lost to the Chinese men's basketball team without dispute, which is even more unacceptable to the Americans.

Although because of the success of Liu Han and the rise of Yao Min, Americans began to re-emphasize the Chinese and even the Asian population, but under the "hidden rules" of society in North America, Asians generally have nothing to do with sports, and most Americans even They think that Asian people should go to open restaurants or engage in scientific research work. In fact, they look down on Asians with poor stature from the bottom of their hearts.

If the U.S. team loses to European teams or even American teams, it will not cause such a big response, but the loss to the Chinese men's basketball team is indeed very difficult for them to accept. Although in the Sydney Olympics four years ago, the powerful Dream Team [-] was actually Difficult to defeat the Chinese men's basketball team to advance to the final.

Now all the players and coaches of this "dream team" have become the targets of ridicule and attack by the North American media.

However, in Dallas, many basketball fans are paying attention to the basketball finals of this Olympic Games. As Liu Han’s headquarters in the United States, Dallas can be said to have many loyal Liu Han fans. The U.S. team qualified for the final.

Back in Athens, the final warm-up for the men's basketball final is over. Players and referees from both sides began to walk to the middle circle. The final is about to start.

The lineup of the Chinese men's basketball team has not changed much. There is no doubt that Yao Min and Liu Han will start. Wang Zhizhi, who has more experience in the fourth position, will start. Xue Yuyang, who performed well, sat on the bench. The players of the Argentine team are generally low-level players. Yi Jianlian and Xue Yuyang, who are physically fit but inexperienced, are not suitable for the starting lineup.

The second and third positions of the Chinese men's basketball team are pure shooters. Li Nan and Zhu Fangyu are the most stable shooters in the men's basketball team except Liu Han.

The lineup of the Argentine team has changed a lot. The inside line is still the blue-collar Obodo, and the fourth position is Luis Scola. This is a pure floor player.

Compared with the Argentine team's inside lineup, their strength on the outside is much stronger. Ginobili is the super sixth man of the Spurs. This is enough to show that his offensive firepower is strong, although the Spurs have never focused on offensive tactics.

In addition to Ginobili, the Argentine team also has outstanding strikers such as Delfino and Nocioni. Delfino was selected by the Pistons in the draft last season. played, and Nocioni has been playing for European teams before. He played for the Uslamica club in Spain. In the European League last season, he averaged 13.5 points and 4.3 rebounds per game. A rare role player, and he reached an agreement with the Chicago Bulls during the Olympics, he will represent the Chicago Bulls next season.

The Argentine team's lineup is actually aimed at the inside offense of the Chinese team. The purpose of Ginobili's point guard is also to defend Liu Han. Although everyone knows that it is difficult for Ginobili to defend Liu Han, but at least This will not cause a direct dislocation attack. If the Argentine team plays other point guards, the Chinese team will easily find opportunities for dislocation on both offense and defense.

With the referee throwing the ball high in the middle circle, the men's basketball final of the 2004 Athens Olympic Games officially started.

Yao Min won the challenge with Obodo. Yao Min didn't jump high, and Obodo is not a guy with the best physical fitness. He mainly relies on his own tonnage.

Yao Min pushed the ball to the back of his body, Liu Han easily stuck Ginobili's position and prevented the opponent from moving, while he took the ball off leisurely. In terms of physical strength, Ginobili is definitely not Liu Han's opponent .

After Liu Han got the ball, he did not accelerate rashly, but brought it to the frontcourt smoothly. The Argentine team settled down to defend quickly, which is a consistent defense tactic. However, Ginobili is still very close to Liu Han’s position. , the Argentine team is not completely defending the zone defense, at least at Liu Han's point, they dare not defend the zone defense. Anyone who has watched Liu Han's game knows that it is impossible to use zone defense to limit Liu Han. Liu Han will directly guard the zone defense The team shot dead.

The current defensive position of the Argentine team is a combination of zone defense and man-marking. Although Ginobili's position has a space in the interior, Liu Han will not use the opportunity to make easy and direct shots.

At the beginning of the game, although the Argentine team seemed to be playing a normal defense, in fact all of them focused on the inside offense of the Chinese team. Min led the insider.

But what the Argentine didn't expect was that Liu Han was very direct and strong after he advanced to the frontcourt.

Ginobili was passed by Liu Han with an acceleration during the defense, and the Argentine team's defense suddenly shrank, as if to completely wrap the "bag".

However, after Liu Han passed Manu Ginobili, he suddenly stopped for a jumper. The Argentine players' defense retreated too much. It was too late to try to get close to Liu Han. With an emergency stop and a jumper, the Chinese team scored first.

The Chinese team made such a big change in the first offense. The Argentines were obviously not well prepared, and they somewhat ignored Liu Han's deterrent force in the breakthrough.

The game continued, and after Argentina served from the bottom line, Ginobili took the ball to the frontcourt.

Compared with his own defender's ball control, Ginobili's ball control is actually quite good, but after encountering Liu Han's close defense, Ginobili's ball control is not so calm.

Today, the Chinese team was uncharacteristically defending and marking. The first offensive rotation of the Argentine team was not smooth, and their players did not run actively at the beginning of the game.

In desperation, Ginobili and his teammates played a screen, and Ginobili missed a three-pointer with a shot from the basket to end the team's first offense.

"Run, don't stop, pay attention to catch the ball."

After the Chinese team resumed serving, Liu Han reminded his teammates that he did not want to miss this rare chance to win the championship.
