Basketball Myth: Super Guard

On July 29, the men's basketball group stage officially kicked off.

The Olympic men's basketball competition is divided into two stages. The first stage is the group stage. Twelve teams are divided into two groups, each of which has 6 teams, and each group adopts a single round-robin competition. Each team will play. 5 games.

The group stage adopts a points system, with 2 points for a win, 1 point for a loss, and 0 points for abstention. Finally, according to the points ranking, the top four teams in the group stage get the right to qualify for the group.

If the two teams have the same points, then the ranking will be based on the relationship between the two teams. For example, the Chinese team and the Spanish team have the same score, and the Chinese men's basketball team wins in the two teams, then the Chinese team will be ranked. In front, the Spanish team is in the back.

If there are multiple teams with the same points, such as China, Spain, and Australia, then they will be ranked according to the percentage of points scored. The higher the percentage of points scored, the higher the ranking will be.

The second stage is cross-elimination. Teams A and B will form the quarter-finals, and cross-elimination will be carried out. One game will determine life and death, and finally the champion will be determined.

The team that loses in the semifinals will have to play one more game to decide the third place.

At the beginning of the group stage, the Chinese men's basketball team ushered in the first opponent - the Australian team.

The Australian men's basketball team is led by Spurs player Patrick Mills. Mills was the 25th overall pick in the second round of 2009. In the past season, he averaged 10.4 points and 1.8 rebounds per game for the Spurs. , 2.4 assists, can only be regarded as a regular rotation player.

The Australian team has only one NBA player and is not a star. Naturally, it is not as star-studded as the "double all-star combination" of the Chinese men's basketball team, but it should not be underestimated, because the other Australian players are not weak, they are a team that pays attention to teamwork. The overall strength of the team is not bad.

At this time, the game is about to start. There are fans from all over the world sitting in the audience, including Chinese fans. Many Chinese fans waved various slogans or painted national flags on their faces, cheering for the Chinese men's basketball team.

Some of them are British overseas Chinese, while others came from China.

In addition, there are also some Australian fans. The two sides are clearly divided by each other's national flags, forming a distinct camp.

And one group of people is particularly eye-catching. They are Chinese women's basketball players. Twelve women's basketball players, including the coaching staff, all came.

This is the tradition of the Chinese basketball team. Whenever the women's basketball team competes, the men's basketball team will go to the scene to support them. During the men's basketball team, the same is true for the women's basketball team.

Chinese men's basketball team here.

The crowd gathered around Coach Deng Huade. Coach Deng Huade spread out the tactical board, made some arrangements, and then waved his hand: "Fight well, let's go."

"Yes."

A group of players responded in unison.

Qin Hao greeted his teammates, stretched out his hand, and his teammates also stretched out their hands. When everyone's hands were stacked together, Qin Hao shouted: "The Chinese team will win!"

"Definitely!"

Everyone shouted in unison, and the sound was like thunder, resounding through the stadium.

Not far away, a group of Australian players frowned, their faces dignified.

"Let me tell you." The head coach of the Australian team clapped his hands and said with a serious expression: "In terms of defense, the most important thing for us is to defend Qin, he is too dangerous. Limit his breakthroughs and three-pointers, try to force He shoots in the middle distance. And Yao Ming, give him physical confrontation. After he loses weight, physical confrontation no longer has an advantage."

"clear."

A group of players chiselled.

The Australian team has also studied the Chinese men's basketball team, especially Qin Hao and Yao Ming, which is the top priority. In the Eastern Conference semifinals between the 76ers and the Heat, the Heat team was defending Qin Hao's three-pointers and breaking the frame. Let Qin Hao shoot in the middle distance, and the Australian team plans to do the same.

As for Yao Ming, it is for him to confront.

"Okay." After the Australian team's head coach made some arrangements, he emphasized again, "Remember, guard Qin and Yao, and the others are nothing to worry about." Then, his tone changed, "On the offensive end, we have to Try to avoid Qin and Yao, and target the rest of the Chinese team."

It has to be said that the arrangement of the Australian team coach is also very targeted.

The advantage of the Chinese team is that there are NBA All-Star players, and there are still two. The strongest are Qin Hao and Yao Ming. No one in the Australian team can match them. The disadvantage of the Chinese team is that the others are relatively weaker, some players are not as strong as the Australian team players, and the lineup is very uneven.

As long as Qin Hao and Yao Ming can be restrained, other people should not worry about it. Although this is biased, it is not unreasonable, but... Can they restrain Qin Hao and Yao Ming?

......

"Snapped!"

The game officially started, Yao Ming won the jump ball, and the Chinese team got the ball.

Qin Hao advanced with the ball and quickly came to the frontcourt. He took a look at the situation on the field. Several Australian team players had already set up their defense lines. Their starting five were center David Anderson (211cm) and power forward. Matthew Nelson (208cm), small forward Joe Ingles (203cm), shooting guard Pete Crawford (191cm), point guard Patrick Mills (188cm).

At this time, it was Mills who was facing Qin Hao, and it was not the first time that the two had fought each other. Mills had a solemn expression, his center of gravity was very low, and he raised one hand and kept it in front of Qin Hao's face.

Glancing at it, Qin Hao made a gesture.

Yao Ming stepped forward to pick and roll, and Qin Hao used the pick and roll to break through.

However, the delay of the Australian team was very fast. Mills was blocked. Center Anderson rushed forward immediately, blocked in front of Qin Hao, and raised his hand, not giving Qin Hao a chance to shoot a three-pointer.

Seeing this situation, Qin Hao paused for a while, then suddenly changed direction and accelerated, passing Anderson in a swish.

"really."

The Australian team players sighed in unison, but it was not unexpected. Anderson had already expected to be passed, and his task was not to prevent Qin Hao, but to delay it and give other players time to respond. They shrank quickly and formed an encirclement on the inside. As long as Qin Hao slammed into it, he would be surrounded immediately.

"Huh?" Qin Hao was a little surprised. This defense is too familiar, isn't it the one used by the Heat in the Eastern Conference semifinals? In Australia, this is a direct copy of the homework.

Originally Qin Hao was going to break through to attract defense, and then pass the ball back to Yao Ming.

But the opponent actually guarded him like this, copying the Heat team's homework, he immediately changed his mind, stopped abruptly, did not attack the inside line, but shot directly from the mid-range.

"Shh!"

With a bang, the ball went in.

Qin Hao glanced at the Australian rest area, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He needs to use the tempering of the game to transform his mid-range shooting. The Australian team actually learned the way of the Heat. Isn't this someone giving a pillow when you are drowsy?

PS: Due to the needs of the plot, I have made some changes to the group stage schedule, so you don鈥檛 have to be serious!
