Coach Lee

Chapter 444
"Vince Carter or Lee? It's a tough choice!"

"Death dunk, I choose Li! Li is the opponent who directly jumped the height of 219, but Vince supported the opponent with his hands!"

"Vince's dunk is very stretched, it is a combination of strength and beauty, and it is an artistic enjoyment."

The NBA's slam dunk showdown has now come to an international competition.

Many people are looking forward to the head-to-head contest between the Chinese team and the United States.

Over the next few days, because of these two death dunks, the dunks on the court became more frequent.

There are also various levels of dunks in many other arenas.It's just that many guys who tried this buckle and leap have learned a painful lesson.

This makes the Sino-US war even more intense.

Who is the world's number one dunker?

Everyone is looking forward to it.

After the Chinese team won New Zealand in the group stage, in the second game, 76-73, the Chinese team narrowly beat the European champion Italy with three points.

The Chinese team won Italy, which can be regarded as a big upset in this Olympic men's basketball competition.

In the third game, 85-80, the Chinese team beat Lithuania, the world's top team, by 5 points.

The "moving Great Wall" inside the Chinese team performed very well.In the contest with Lithuania's legendary center Sabonis, Wang Dazhi, Yao Liang, and Bart played in turns, not to be outdone at all.

The inside line of the Chinese team can be regarded as evenly matched with the opponent.

On the outside line, Li Nan completely let go of his hands and feet today, and performed exceptionally well, scoring a game-high 38 points.

In the end, the Chinese team also defeated the Lithuanian team for the first time with an advantage of 5 points, which was another big upset.

In the fourth game, 71-84, the Chinese team lost to the French team by 13 points.

In this game, the French team fought fiercely, and they did not dare to underestimate the Chinese team.

And the Chinese team may have played too excitedly in the last game. In this game, the inside play was a little weak and was penetrated by various means.

Although Li Nan scored 36 points, he still couldn't save the Chinese team from losing.

After four games, the Chinese team scored 3-1 and ranked third in Group A
Team USA 4-0, ranked first,

The French team 3-1, because they won the Chinese team, so they ranked second,
Lithuania 2-2 ranked fourth,

Italy and New Zealand are both 0-4, the bottom of the ranking, and have already been eliminated early.

In the final round, Italy played against New Zealand, Lithuania played against France, and China played against the United States.

"Isn't the Chinese team too fierce this year? Even Lithuania can win, a dark horse!"

"FMVP is really not a vegetarian."

"If the other players of the Chinese team play better, I think the Chinese team can even kill the French team."

"It's coming, it's coming! The Sino-US war is coming!"

"Will the Chinese team surprise us? I'm looking forward to it."

"I'm most looking forward to Lee and Vince. They will definitely present all kinds of wonderful dunks today, right?"

On September 9, it rained heavily in Sydney, and a cool wind blew across the city.However, this cool wind cannot blow away the heat of the Olympic Games.

The Sydney Olympic Basketball Stadium was full of seats. Everyone came to see the Dream Team [-], and they also came to see Li from China.It would be even more beautiful to see the dunk duel between China Li and Vince Carter.

However, when they saw the Chinese team's roster, the audience was disappointed.

Li Nan is no longer on the starting list.

The audience felt sorry, but they were still looking forward to Li Nan coming off the bench.

However, at the end of the first half, Li Nan had no intention of playing.

"We want Li! We want Li! We want Li!"

As soon as the second half started, the audience shouted.

However, the head coach of the Chinese team folded his arms, completely indifferent, and had no intention of sending Li Nan on the field at all.

Li Nan has been wearing training clothes, sitting on the court the whole time, expressionless.

Until the end of the game, Li Nan didn't play even for 1 minute.

It is very obvious that the Chinese team is to preserve their strength and prepare for the subsequent knockout rounds.Anyway, the Chinese team can't beat the US team, so why waste that energy.

78-107
The Chinese team lost to the US team by 29 points

Although Li Nan was not present, the Chinese team played fairly well.

29 points, not sixty or seventy points, Director Jiang is very satisfied with this "transcript".

Most Chinese fans are also very satisfied with this report card.

However, many foreign audiences are somewhat dissatisfied.

"If Lee had played, today would never have been like this."

"It's such a shame not to see Lee and Vince dunk duel."

"Preserving strength is really the most annoying tactic I've ever seen!"

After the game, Vince Carter also found Li Nan.

"Li, is it true that you have relapsed from an old injury? Could it be that you are deliberately avoiding the battle?"

Vince Carter's face was slowly joking.

Li Nan answered the question, "Don't you think our Chinese team has become stronger?"

In this game, the Chinese team did not play rough. In the absence of Li Nan, the top scorer, they could still insist on not being beaten in the first half. The point difference was within 10 points, and they were suddenly pulled in the second half. Open more than 20 minutes.It has indeed become stronger.

But this "becoming stronger" is nothing in the eyes of Vince Carter.

"Become stronger? Hehe, that's why we are being merciful, okay? Otherwise, why would I beat you by sixty or seventy points today?"

Li Nan suddenly mentioned: "Vince, did you enjoy being covered today?"

Carter's face changed, but he said firmly: "Did you read it wrong? How could I be blocked?"

Seeing that he didn't admit it, Li Nan hit the nail on the head, "Hahaha, Vince, if you still don't admit it, I'll record it for you. You've been blocked three times."

Seeing Li Nan's video recorder from somewhere, Carter twitched the corner of his mouth, but said with some resentment: "Hiss~ Li, you may lose me like this."

Li Nan smiled, "It's okay, it's enough for me to have my wife, and no one else is important."

Carter sent a supercilious look to Li Nan, appreciate it carefully.
Walking into the player tunnel, Li Nan's expression was not as exciting as before.

To be honest, Li Nan wanted to play in today's game.Avoiding war is not his style.

Although it is said that he is more likely to lose to the Chinese team, but it is really a rare opportunity to play against stronger opponents, and Li Nan does not want to miss it.

However, the leader above gave the order, what can he do?
In this Olympics, the Chinese team is aiming for medals.

Before today's game, the French team defeated Lithuania.Unless the Chinese team beats the US team, otherwise, the No.3 ranking of the Chinese team will have no chance to rise.

The current ranking situation in Group B is very clear: the first is the Russian team, the second is the Australian team, the third is the Argentine team, and No.4 is the Canadian team.

In the four-nation competition, the Chinese team once defeated Australia.

The coaching staff decisively chose to give up this game with no chance of winning to preserve their strength.Li Nan was not available, but Wang Dazhi was, but he didn't have much time to fight.

Now, the Chinese team lost the game, and the promotion list of Group A is also out:

No.1 American team, No.2 French team, No.3 Chinese team, No.4 Lithuanian team.

In the subsequent knockout rounds, the Chinese team's opponent is Australia, which is second in Group B.

If Australia is defeated, the Chinese team will face the winner of the US team and the Canadian team in the semi-finals, which is basically the US team.

"Huh~~~" Li Nan exhaled, sitting on the sidelines watching the game today is really too depressing. "Just wait, when the time comes, you will definitely lose a layer of skin!"
