Chapter 282
When the dust of this game settled, although some domestic fans seemed to hate iron and steel on the Internet, but actually deliberately wanted to discredit the men's basketball team, they were quickly scolded by other fans as dogs.That's right, Xu Hao's lore was indeed timed out, but so what?They only lost 2 points against the United States. They really have no higher requirements for this men's basketball team.

The players also quickly came out of the shadow of defeat. Most of them have experienced battles, and it is clear that such emotions will not be of any benefit to the following ranking matches.However, even though Guo Ailun and Yu Shulong, two rookies, let go of this failure, Xu Hao still did not forgive himself, and guilt continued to burn in his heart like a flame.

Now in Istanbul, where he is unfamiliar, Xu Hao can't think of any way to vent his inner anger for a while, except for competitions.For him, the only way to dissipate the anger in his heart is to slam his next opponent hard.

However, the opponents of the Chinese men's basketball team in the 5-8 rankings are also very strong. They will face the South American powerhouse Argentina.Although Argentina's core player Ginobili did not participate in the World Championships this year, and Nocchione was also absent due to injury, NBA stars such as Delfino, Scola and Oberto still put on their jerseys to fight for their country and are very powerful.It's a pity that they were unlucky in the quarter-finals and encountered Lithuania, which had a better overall battle, and they were defeated.

Perhaps before the start of the World Championships, most fans would think that Argentina is stronger than China, but after the Sino-US war, their views have gradually changed. At least on the surface, the Chinese men's basketball team is completely true.

For this contest, Hernandez, the head coach of the Argentine men's basketball team, is full of confidence. In his opinion, Scolaga Oberto's inside combination is not inferior to the Yao Ming + Yi Jianlian of the Chinese men's basketball team. Success means that the Chinese team has no good way to deal with wing stars, and Argentina also happens to have an NBA-level Delfino.

Of course, Ginobili's absence damaged the team's offensive power and creativity, but Argentina's defense is also the foundation of the team.They can often fill in every hole with quick defense and help defense, making it difficult for opponents to shoot comfortably.Under such circumstances, Hernandez does not believe that the Chinese team's scorers can easily send the ball to the basket.

But what Hernandez didn't know was that one of the Chinese players also regarded them as a dish and wanted to swallow them eagerly.Xu Hao knows that Argentina in full form is very strong. He also played against Ginobili in the NBA. He was a headache, but now that he is not here, what is there to be afraid of?

Before the start of the game, the head coaches of the two sides would naturally flatter each other at the press conference, but everyone knew that behind the happy commercial bragging, they all wanted to kill each other right away during the game.For Argentina, it is obviously a shame if they can only compete for No.7, and the Chinese men's basketball team also hopes to go further.

Players on both sides understand this very well, so from the first second of the game, they had no intention of keeping their hands. Everyone went all out on the court, as if their physical strength was endless.Of course, Xu Hao was the most active performer. As the team's field commander, he increased the number of singles for the first time and asked his teammates to help him open up space.

If it was another rookie, Deng Huade would have already replaced him if he did this. Even if he was not pushed on the bench, his teammates would not be able to listen to his instructions.But Xu Hao has conquered everyone by relying on his own performance. Deng Huade also knew that he was angry and guilty. He hoped to help the team beat Argentina, so he naturally let him go.

Argentina's starting point guard in this game is Pelligioni, a small guard with a height of 1.86 meters, and he was born in 1977. He is 33 years old this year. Although he is experienced, he can only play against Xu Hao in other aspects. Being crushed.Faced with such an opponent, Xu Hao would naturally not be polite. The decision to increase the number of singles did not require much thought.

Originally, Pereggioni was still full of confidence and wanted to educate Xu Hao, showing off his senior qualifications, but he was beaten directly by Xu Hao.When attacking with the ball, Xu Hao didn't even bother to make fancy fake moves. He just accelerated and passed Perigioni, and then went straight to the basket to compete with Scola and Oberto's inside line.

And Scola is not good at defending the inside line. Oberto's ability to protect the frame is not bad, but he must be on guard against Yao Ming at any time, so he doesn't care much about Xu Hao who came in.Relying on simple layups or points, Xu Hao scored 10 points and 4 assists in the first quarter, and also helped the Chinese men's basketball team take a 35-30 lead.

Hernandez was very unconvinced. In fact, he could let Delfino defend Xu Hao. No matter how it seemed, the two of them were matched opponents, but obviously Delfino had to spend more energy on offense and let him go. Entangled with Xu Hao will undoubtedly greatly weaken Argentina's outside firepower.In desperation, Hernandez could only use wheel fighting to deal with Xu Hao.

But how could Xu Hao be defeated by the wheel battle?Not to mention that Argentina's back line is not strong enough, even if Ginobili plays for the country, with Xu Hao's monster-level physical fitness, he will definitely be able to carry the wheel battle.In the second quarter, Xu Hao continued to explode, scoring 8 points and 6 assists. There was almost no match in front of him, and he completed a double-double at halftime.

Under the leadership of Xu Hao, the Chinese men's basketball team has been playing against Argentina, forcing Deng Huade to let him rest for half a quarter in the third quarter. We must give others a chance to perform!Moreover, the relationship between the two countries is still good, there is no need to kill.Despite this, Yao Ming's strong dominance in the interior still allowed the Chinese men's basketball team to firmly hold the lead.

With 4 minutes and 22 seconds left in the fourth quarter, Hernandez finally gave up the resistance helplessly. He realized that the players under his command could not complete the reversal in this game.Although Scola and Delfino both scored 20+ points, without Manu Ginobili in charge, they have never been able to hit a real wave of scoring climax, and naturally it is difficult to narrow the point difference.

In the end, the game that looked like it might be a battle between dragons and tigers came to an end without any surprise. Xu Hao scored 27 points, 8 rebounds and 14 assists, leading China to easily defeat Argentina 97-85 and win a draw. Spain competes for the No.5 chance, while Argentina can only compete with Slovenia for the No.7.
