Add One, I Don’t Know How To Fight
Chapter 344 343: See you next time in the finals (please vote for me!)
The Dream Team lost two games in a row at the beginning of the group stage, which really made Yingjiang feel embarrassed.
Prior to this, since NBA players played in the Olympics, the Dream Team had not lost a single game in the Olympics.
Not to mention losing, any team that could compete with the Dream Team in the past would have been considered a great player.
In the past, the dream team was like your goddess, you could only watch from a distance but not play with.
But now, even petty thieves like Puerto Rico can play with the Dream Team at will.
In fact, in Sydney in 2000, the Dream Team's dominance had already been challenged.
Although they are still undefeated in Sydney, the Dream Team has won very thrillingly in several games.
But thrills are thrills, and the result is at least satisfying.
By 2004, the Dream Team dynasty completely collapsed.
At the end of the game against Lithuania, Larry Brown's eyes were dull and he felt unbelievable.
What the hell
Why is the Olympic journey different from what I imagined! ?
Larry Brown insisted on participating in the Olympics despite being injured, just to win an Olympic gold medal and enrich his resume.
Speaking from now on, I am also an Olympic champion and worthy of being a famous coach of the generation.
It was agreed that the Olympic gold medal would be awarded directly, but the application process turned out to be so troublesome.
Larry Brown didn't want Tomjanovich to pick the peaches at first, so he insisted on playing with the injury. But if he had known this, he might as well have let Tomjanovich come!
Other coaches lead teams to compete in the Olympics with a gold-plated background, so how come it turns into a mess when it comes to me?
It’s so funny that he didn’t fix this mess himself.
If Tomjanovich comes, the Dream Six Team may not be so miserable.
Master Tang doesn't say anything else, but at least the lineup selection will be more reasonable than this.
Although many stars don't want to come, don't underestimate the NBA's talent pool. Even if the stars don't come, it shouldn't be a big problem to put together a reasonable lineup.
With a few shooters, AI and Duncan can play alone in peace, and Dream Team 6 will not lose like this.
Larry Brown thought this was the NBA, and Iverson could do something good in one-on-nine games.
Just follow that idea.
That line of thinking itself is unreasonable. Otherwise, even if it is as strong as AI, it will not be able to win the championship even if it is full of injuries.
Larry Brown also has the dream that "as long as the Dream Team presses the other teams throughout the game, it won't play anymore."
Indeed, in the 1990s, as long as the Dream Team pressed full court, their opponents might not even get past halftime.
But, my lord, I have eaten poop!
Now the Dream Team no longer has the dominance it once had, but the strength of other countries is growing rapidly.
This is no longer the era when the dream team could easily win the championship.
Everything you do must keep pace with the times. Not to mention playing basketball, even writing novels. These days, you don’t know how to illustrate pictures that keep pace with the times. You are embarrassed to say that you are writing novels.
Larry Brown is under great pressure now. His team has not won a game since the start of the Olympic Games.
If this damn thing can't even qualify for the group, Larry Brown is really afraid that one day he will walk out on the street eating hot pot and singing songs, and be suddenly shot down by a black gun.
After all, anything could happen in the area where Mi Li's family was shot every day.
A general can have a lot of imagination, so what is impossible for a head coach?
What's more, Larry Brown is still in Detroit.
While Larry Brown was still in a daze, a reporter came over and said, "Coach Larry, what's going on with the team now?"
This MiLijia reporter looked anxious. Basketball is our advantage.
Did you lose your own face by being beaten like this? No, it’s our country’s face that’s being disgraced!
"Well, bad luck, bad luck. In the last game, our own touch was too poor, but today the opponent's touch was too good! Look at those shots made by Jaskovicius just now, they were not reasonable at all!
But he can get in, who can do anything about it?
It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, we can't always be so unlucky. Don’t worry, I still have the advantage! "
Although Larry Brown was panicking inside, he couldn't just cry out in front of reporters, right?
In the next few games, the Dream Team must ensure a complete victory in order to qualify safely.
Unexpectedly, I never expected that one day, the dream team would actually be troubled by the issue of qualifying for the group stage.
On the other side, the New Zealand team was so abused by Yao Ming that they couldn't take care of themselves, and everyone began to doubt life.
A player who is taller, stronger than you, and faster than you is already desperate enough.
As a result, you find out that his skills are even better than yours!
Have you ever experienced this kind of despair?
The New Zealand center felt his balls hurt when he thought about what he had just experienced.
When defending, you can only look at the back of the person's head, and there is no room for interference when taking action. This feeling is really stupid.
But New Zealand players don't blame Yao Ming. Today, the main culprit for New Zealand's abuse is that Japanese devil named Boucher!
So good, he had to pretend to provoke Yao Ming.
Without Li Ang's life, he got Li Ang's disease.
Anyone can learn the ninth art of pretending?
The key is that he does not directly defend Yao Ming, so it is his teammates who are tortured.
This wave is equivalent to when you went to a KTV and shouted at two long-legged people. After drinking, you were not satisfied and took them out.
As a result, it was your brother who paid the money the next day.
Enjoyment is yours, suffering is your brother's suffering.
Who can bear this?
The centers of the New Zealand team really want to beat Boucher nine times in three days, pretending to be happy for a while, and put his teammates in the crematorium.
After this game, it is basically a certainty that the Chinese team will appear.
Just one more win is all it takes to qualify.
Although the next opponents, Italy, Serbia and Montenegro, and Argentina are not good opponents, fans believe that it is impossible for the Chinese team to lose three consecutive games.
This is the confidence that a world champion should have~
Sure enough, in the next two games against Italy and Serbia and Montenegro, the Chinese team won both of them.
The match against Italy attracted much attention, after all, this European powerhouse had beaten the Dream Team by 17 points in the warm-up match.
People think that no matter how bad the Dream Team is, it is not easy for the team to beat him by 17 points.
No matter how tired a wolf is, it is still better than a husky. Being able to defeat a tired wolf proves that there is nothing wrong with being too selfish.
The match between the Chinese team and the Italian team was absolutely exciting.
However, what surprised people was that the Chinese team won this game very easily.
Because in that game, after Yao Ming blocked the basket, Italy's cutting-in was basically abolished.
They can only win with outside shooting.
But today, Italy's outside shooting was just out of shape, and it couldn't do anything offensively.
On the defensive end, Italy is not easy either.
In the last game, Yao Ming shocked the world with 39 points in a single game. In today's game, Li Ang continued the climax with a performance of 37 points in a single game.
In the original history, the Chinese team lost very miserably in this match against Italy. If Li Ang remembered correctly, he seemed to have been beaten by the opponent by more than 30 points.
But that game was not actually about how good Italy's offense was, but the Chinese team's own offense.
The reason why Li Ang still remembers it is because no one on the Chinese team scored in double figures in that game. Even Yao Ming only scored 9 points on 3 of 12 shots. It was Yao Ming's worst performance in the Athens Olympics.
But it's different now. The Chinese team's offensive points are not so easy to contain.
Li Ang relied on a post-up move and scored 27 points in the first half.
In the second half, the Italian team began to shrink its defense against Li Ang, and Li Ang distributed the ball to Yao Ming for a shot.
These two cores, inside and outside, make the Italian team extremely difficult to defend against.
In the end, the score was 85 to 68, and the Chinese team won by 17 points.
Li Ang assured that this was really just a coincidence. The Chinese team really did not deliberately remind everyone that Mengliu lost to Italy by 17 points.
After this game, facing Serbia and Montenegro, the Chinese team also won without any suspense.
Although Serbia and Montenegro have basically retained most of the main players from the former Yugoslavia, due to various complex reasons, the players in the team are not united.
In the original history, the Chinese team completed an earth-shattering reversal when facing Serbia and Montenegro, and finally narrowly defeated the former world champion by 1 point and advanced to the quarterfinals.
But now the Chinese team faces Serbia and Montenegro, which has no intention of playing, and there is no need to fight until the last moment.
Today, not only Li Ang and Yao Ming performed, but the United Arab Emirates also scored 12 points and 7 rebounds.
During the game, he can catch and shoot, and can break through with the ball, fully demonstrating his versatility.
For a young man who has just come out of the NCAA, this performance is absolutely perfect.
The Chinese team's four consecutive victories have ensured their qualification.
The last opponent of the Chinese team is the Argentine team.
It stands to reason that even if the Chinese team gives up strategically in the next game, it will not affect the qualifying situation.
But many people may not believe it. The Argentina team, like Meng Liu, is now facing the embarrassing situation of not being able to qualify.
Perhaps because of the group stage, the Argentinian's state has not completely heated up. They have only won one victory in the previous four games.
Argentina lost against three strong opponents: Serbia and Montenegro, Italy and Spain, and only won against New Zealand, the weakest team in the group but the most pretentious.
And unfortunately, Argentina did not have no chance in the games against Serbia, Montenegro and Italy. In the end, they only lost by one point.
In the original game against Serbia and Montenegro, Argentina finally won by chance thanks to Ginobili's shot that completely lost his center of gravity.
But this time, the most classic buzzer beater in Olympic basketball history unfortunately did not appear.
Therefore, Argentina is now fighting against the odds.
They must beat the Chinese team to have a chance of qualifying.
Because of this, neither Harris nor Li Ang want to paddle in the next game.
If a strong enemy like Argentina can be eliminated in the group stage, then in the knockout stage, the Chinese team will have almost no opponents except Mengliu and Lithuania.
Although this may be a bit cruel, in competitive sports, if you are not cruel to your opponents, is it possible to be cruel to yourself?
How could this opportunity to eliminate dangerous enemies in advance be wasted?
Although Argentina's record is not good, both Leon and Harris were very serious in preparing for the game.
Argentina is definitely a team that cannot be underestimated. Competitive sports are inherently very accidental, so Argentina's previous poor record does not mean that they are weak.
What's more, this game is a life and death battle for Argentina, and they will definitely fight very hard.
Moreover, in the World Championships two years ago, Argentina narrowly lost to the Chinese team and watched helplessly as the Chinese team won the world championship.
At that time, Ginobili only played a few minutes due to injury. Many Argentinian fans feel that if Ginobili had not knelt down, the Chinese team would not have been able to steal the championship from Argentina.
Therefore, this game also has the flavor of a comeback for Argentina.
During the training before the game, Li Ang and Harris told everyone more than once that they must go all out.
The players of the Chinese team did not slack off, but an Argentina with full firepower still made the Chinese team suffer for the first time in the group stage.
At the beginning of the game, the Argentina team relied on smooth conduction to allow Ginobili to steal two points when he cut into the basket.
Although Yao Ming was guarding the basket, Ginobili still avoided Yao Ming's block with a pull-up layup.
Subsequently, Li Ang also encountered a decent confrontation for the first time in the Olympics.
Argentina's starting small forward Andre Nocioni is different from most typical European forwards.
Although he has been working hard in the Spanish league for many years, he does not have a particularly stable outside shot, nor does he have that amazing passing ability.
His advantage is that he is good at flying and dunking, has a strong body and a tough style.
The various little moves during defense are even more mature.
He looks like a black small forward.
As soon as Li Ang came face to face with Nocioni, he was directly pressed against him.
The intensity of this confrontation even reminded Li Ang of the NBA playoffs.
Instead of confronting Nocioni, Li Ang took a step back and passed the Argentine striker with a very quick change of direction.
But as soon as Li Ang broke in, Obote came up to defend.
Li Ang then changed his shot into a pass in the air, trying to pass the ball to Yao Ming.
However, just before Yao Ming received the basketball, the guy with long hair suddenly jumped out and stole the basketball.
No, this person is not Ginobili, but Argentina's starting No. 4 diamond Scola!
Scola waited for the opportunity and intercepted Li Ang's pass midway.
Scola is definitely a typical player who relies on technique and brains to play.
Maybe he had expected that Li Ang would pass, so he was prepared early.
Nocioni and Scola, this Pampas striker pair shined in La Liga. Now they are shining their light into Athens.
After the steal, Scola gave the ball to Montechia, a teammate who played with Ginobili from childhood to the national team.
Montechia faced Liu Wei and easily passed him with a smooth turn.
Then, facing Zhu Fangyu's defense, Montechia passed the ball from behind and inserted Ginobili.
Ginobili easily scored a layup, and Argentina started 4-0!
It can be seen that the Argentine team is fearless today.
They have been pushed to a dead end, and one more loss will end their Olympic journey.
They have nothing to lose, they just have to give it a try!
Later, Harris wanted to rely on Li Ang's shooting to solve the problem as usual.
But today, Argentina directly defended the zone. As long as Li Ang broke into the three-point line, someone would immediately attack.
As soon as Yao Ming catches the basketball, someone will immediately attack him.
This made the fight between Li Ang and Yao Ming very uncomfortable.
Argentina's insiders are not like New Zealand, which is both talented and pretentious, allowing Yao Ming to kill at will in a one-on-three game.
Being flanked by Scola and Obote, it was still difficult for Yao Ming to score efficiently.
It was difficult for Li Ang to stand out under rough attacks and confrontations, and his shooting efficiency under the attacks today was not high enough.
There is no way, since the opponent is flanking, Li Ang can only choose to pass the ball.
However, this is exactly what Argentina wants to see.
The Argentines do not believe that the role players of the Chinese team can withstand such a test.
As expected, the rest of the Chinese team's shooting today was very good.
Let's put it this way, as long as everyone is on the field, no one is reliable!
Zhu Fangyu was released four times, and all four were ironed.
Wang Zhizhi also shot poorly today. He couldn't make a three-pointer at first, and later he couldn't even make a mid-range shot.
To solve the problem, Harris replaced Yi Jianlian.
Because Argentina is frantically attacking Yao Ming and Li Ang, Yi Jianlian will definitely get many opportunities.
As long as the United Arab Emirates can grasp it, the situation in this game can be reversed, and Argentina will go home directly!
As a result, the UAE's performance today was not satisfactory either because it was the first time they played such a strong confrontation.
At the beginning, Scola kept running in both directions, flanking Yao Ming and interfering with the UAE's shooting.
But then Scola discovered that he couldn't make a shot even if I didn't care about him!
Then, Scola discovered that I could not only guard him, but I could also beat him!
In the seventh minute of the second quarter, Scola asked for the ball in the low post to beat Yi Jianlian.
Originally, Yao Ming did not have to go out within the three-second zone. But Obote hit consecutive mid-range shots in the previous two rounds, forcing Yao Ming to leave the penalty area and defend.
This gave Scola a chance to make trouble at the basket.
Scola leaned against the Arab League and bumped back hard, but the Arab League, who had been baptized by the NCAA, was almost unmoved.
But if you think Scola is the kind of player who relies on brute force to attack, you are totally wrong.
After leaning for a moment, Scola suddenly turned to the left, as if to turn around and break through.
The Arab League then quickly changed its focus and prepared to move laterally to block.
Who knew that at the moment when the Arab League's center of gravity changed, at that moment, Scola suddenly turned in the opposite direction, passed the Arab League with one step, and easily scored a layup!
The way it ended was unpretentious, but Scola's low steps before finishing were gorgeous.
Moreover, Scola's ability to seize opportunities is also first-rate. He just felt the change of center of gravity of the Arab League at that moment, and successfully seized the opportunity to complete the pass without any delay.
Ah Lian was still relatively new to the world, so he had no time to react when faced with such footsteps, so he could only silently curse, "Sorry about your mother!"
Li Ang gritted his teeth as he looked at Argentina, whose lead was gradually increasing.
This team, which has changed the world basketball landscape in its original history, is indeed no joke.
Subsequently, the United Arab Emirates, who had high hopes from Harris and the Chinese fans, was directly pressed to the ground and rubbed by Scola.
The UAE was unable to score on the offensive end, and was repeatedly tricked by Scola on the defensive end.
However, relying on the personal abilities of Li Ang and Yao Ming, the Chinese team has never allowed Argentina to lead by much.
The game remained deadlocked until the last moment of the fourth quarter, with the Chinese team still trailing by 6 points.
In this round, if the Chinese team can hit a three-pointer, there will still be a chance in the game.
The ball was given to Yao Ming in the low post. Yao Ming was double-teamed as soon as he received the ball.
In desperation, Yao Ming gave the ball to UAE Lian. Faced with Scola rushing toward him, UAE Lian was a little nervous, so he passed the ball back to Li Ang.
But because the intention of the Arab League goal was too obvious, Ginobili was very careful about it.
Ginobili rushed out before Li Ang wrinkled up and stole the ball away!
"Depend on!"
Seeing the mistake in a key attack, Li Ang cursed and then chased Ginobili.
Li Ang sprinted with all his strength to prevent Ginobili from scoring the goal.
At this time, the hearts of both Chinese and Argentinian fans were in their throats.
Ginobili broke into the penalty area and jumped for a layup, followed by Li Ang.
But just when Li Ang's hand was about to cover the basketball, Ginobili seemed to have eyes in the back of his head. He collected the ball in the air, avoided the block, then raised the ball again, and then scored a layup.
Ginobi used a saucy pull-up layup to widen the point difference to 8 points at the last minute!
At this time, there were only a few dozen seconds left before the end of the game, and the Chinese team was in danger!
In the end, Argentina defeated the world champion Chinese team 92-86 in this life-and-death battle and won the last qualifying spot in Group A!
Although the Chinese fans felt a little pity, they were not particularly disappointed.
After all, the Chinese team has definitely qualified first in the group, so what if they lose this game?
But Li Ang, after the game, put his hands on his hips and breathed heavily.
Because he knows very well that if Argentina is allowed to enter the knockout rounds, they will definitely become a problem!
Today, Argentina can win not by luck, but by solid hard power.
Judging from Argentina's fourth place in Group A, if the Chinese team meets Argentina again, it will be in the finals.
Li Ang didn't want to defeat Meng Liu and Larry Brown, only to fall into the hands of Argentina and Ginobili.
You know, the Olympic knockout rounds are the same as the NCAA March Madness, where the outcome is determined.
If we really meet Argentina in the final, even if we fail to handle one round well, we will lose the championship.
Li Ang frowned. If nothing else happens, Argentina, the monster released by the Chinese team, will eventually have to be dealt with by the Chinese team.
At this time, the downcast Yi Jianlian passed by Li Ang, breaking Li Ang's thoughts.
This originally introverted guy lowered his head and looked lifeless as a young man.
Today, because he couldn't keep up with Scola, Harris gave the UAE a lot of playing time. Most of the time, he and Scola faced off.
As a result, Scola scored 22 points on 8 of 9 shots in this game.
The Arab League made 1 of 7 shots and only scored a pitiful 2 points.
The pass at the critical moment was also intercepted by Ginobili.
This kind of performance obviously did not meet people's expectations of him.
After all, he was also a lottery pick this year, but he was beaten like this by a pervert with long hair.
Well, Scola is not well-known in the country because he has not signed in the NBA yet. Chinese fans generally call him a pervert with long hair.
It was the first time to experience such a big accident scene, which made Ah Lian a little overwhelmed.
Li Ang touched his chin at this time. If he wanted to win Argentina steadily, he might really have to rely on the United Arab Emirates to contribute!
So, Li Ang walked up and patted Ah Lian on the shoulder.
Young man, I see your bones are amazing, you are a martial arts wizard.
Today, let me transform you for free.
