In the basketball world, starting from the 99 World Youth Championship

Chapter 234
Therefore, it seems useless to expand the space. As a fifth position, Mourning's role is mainly defensive, and the same is true for McDyess.

Yao Ming needed to save energy for the fourth quarter, so he went down 2 minutes into the third quarter. Battelle and Liu Yudong came up. Liu Yudong still played the role of the first half, using his movement speed and range advantages to push the US team from Call out the inside line.

It's just that God of War's touch is very average, but Battelle robbed a lot of rebounds.The quality of rebounding in the U.S. team has continued to decline. Wen Baker has never been a good rebounder. He is an enhanced version of Liu Yudong. He is completely space-oriented and has a low position, but he still likes to shoot more often. Fighting, if not, the Bucks would not have chosen to trade him as an All-Star, because the style of play overlapped with the big dog.

Compared with Wen Baker, Liu Yudong's advantage lies in his desire to win. The opponent knows the meaning of this game very well, so every ball, every rebound, and every defense, God of War will do everything he can, even though it often seems Like moths to a flame, but without this attitude, the Chinese team would have collapsed long ago.

After Zhang Tian saw the hard guy go down, he suddenly stopped going inside, and instead threw it outside. Tomjanovich could only choke speechlessly. What the hell is this? Zhang Tian, ​​this guy, He is obviously a sophomore and it is his first time to play in the Olympics, but why is he more skilled in controlling the situation of the game than the head coach himself.

Zhang Tian completely grasped the lifeblood of the American team. Payton and Harden had an outside defensive gate and an inside defensive hub. They all went down because of Zhang Tian. They played against the Chinese team, Iverson, Carter, and Steve. Those defensive scumbags like Smith are useless at all, because you can't get up fast in front of Zhang Tian.

And those people who don't make it, make their own employment become stretched.Ray Allen missed consecutive three-pointers, which is a sign of declining physical strength, so Tang Shuai had no choice but to bite the bullet and replace Stephen Smith. As a result, the All-Star pitcher hadn't warmed up yet, so Zhang Tian used the opponent on the wing The help defense usually went to the inside to play continuously.

As for the newly replaced CIC Wang and Kidd, the cooperation was not tacit at all. The double-teaming effect of the two of them was far worse than that of a single defense. McDyess suffered a disaster. He was either dunked by Zhang Tian or scored points by other insiders. The No. [-] show in [-] was really about to cry.

After Zhang Tian finished the first three quarters, he scored 20 points and 7 assists.At the end of the third quarter, the Chinese team led by five points 67:62.These five points were brought about by the absence of Hardt and Payton.

"Zhang really didn't disappoint. This young man played really well. Seeing him, I seemed to see the Soviet big man in the [-] Olympics. No, Zhang's performance was more dominant than Avedas. He has a lot of strength, he is outside." Stankovic was not stingy with his compliments at all, he was sitting with people from Blue Shoes, Basketball Management Center, and the Olympic Organizing Committee to watch the game today.

Hearing the praise of Zhang Tian from the godfather of European basketball, one of Zhang Tian's "Uncle Li" was very happy. Of course, other leaders were also very happy. Before the Olympics, they never thought that the men's basketball team could enter the final , They felt that Zhang Tian might be able to enter the semi-finals if he went to the Olympic team.

"Yeah, Xiao Zhang is a good comrade who doesn't fight or snatch, and is never greedy for merit. We are thinking of enrolling him in the top ten outstanding youths for next year."

Stankovic, an old man, has been in the Olympic Organizing Committee and European basketball circles for decades, what doesn't he understand? "Basketball is basketball. It is a very pure thing. If it is mixed with too many other externalities, it will lose the meaning of the sport itself, and its charm will be further reduced."

Isn't Stankovic's words the epitome of the ratings of the future NBA finals? After the old hooligan brought the finals to a new height, Xiao Hua overthrew all this. The ratings of the finals are Every day is worse than every day.

In the fourth quarter of the game, Carter and Iverson came up, and Kidd also needed to rest, but Iverson came up, it was an offense. His personal ability is beyond doubt, but he scored two points on the offensive end, and he scored two points on the defensive end. He would lose three points, because no one in the Dream Team [-] wiped his ass. There were countless tool people in Philadelphia, but in the national team he became someone else's tool man.

Iverson's defense can't be blamed on him. After all, his size is there. It's good to be able to score offensively instead of hitting iron.

The Chinese team adjusted their defensive strategy. They shrunk their defensive line because there was no reliable three-pointer on the field. At this time, the most accurate player among their players was actually Carter.

Carter is a very selfless person. He took the ball and saw his teammates asking for the ball, and then gave the ball away. As a result, his teammates repaid him with a hammer. Garnett's physical strength recovered, but the fourth quarter just lasted less than 2 minutes , he made two consecutive fouls, bringing his total to four. Although Wang Zhizhi also had four fouls, the Chinese team definitely made a profit when the two sides traded.

Garnett can't go down. Wen Baker has proved that he is a fool who can do nothing but score. Raheem is similar, so if Harder is sent off, the inside defense of the Dream Team will really be gone.Yao Ming got a rest in the third quarter, and the fourth quarter was lively.Continuous mid-range shots and dunks made Mourning angry.

Mourning also used a zombie hook to fight back, but his scoring stability is not as good as Yao Ming. Zhang Tian continued to attack. The combination of Iverson and Payton failed, and Payton seemed to give up defense. Turn to attack.

The two sides fought fast and chaotically in the last quarter, but in this chaotic battle, the rhythm was still on Zhang Tian's side. In the end, the Chinese team defeated the US team with a score of 87:82, and won this hard-won gold medal.

Dream Team 30 failed to defend their title. Tang Shuai's smile was very bitter. Zhang Tian's 10 points, 7 assists, 4 rebounds, and [-] steals really had a sense of dominance. He completely surpassed other players. The player is an order of magnitude.

The members of the Dream Team [-] don't have much bitterness. The silver medal is the silver medal. Anyway, the ranking in the Olympics is not linked to their salary.So what if you get a medal.

After the Chinese team won the championship, it means that the entire Sydney Olympic Games will come to an end. No one thought that the Chinese men's basketball team could win such a heavyweight medal.

Zhang Tian won the best player of this tournament, and the scoring champion was won by Australian Gates. Zhang Tian was shortlisted for the best team. The other four were Kidd, Ray Allen, Hardt and Yao Ming. Yao Ming squeezed out The Kidney Fighter entered the best team.
