I’m Really Playing Basketball

Chapter 104 Dream Team, lost again!

Before the news that Battelle was traded from the Nuggets to the Nets was confirmed, Chen Xiao and Battelle already knew about it.

Because Rod Thorn, the general manager of the Nets, is now in Indianapolis.

After the match between the Chinese team and the US team, Rod Thorne congratulated Chen Xiao, Battelle and the Chinese team on their performance.

Chen Xiao was still a little confused before, but when Rod Thorn told him and Battelle that Bago would play with him in the Nets next season, Chen Xiao understood why.

To be honest, Chen Xiao and Ba Ge were very excited when Ba Ge was traded to the Nets.

There's nothing wrong with the Nuggets.

If you want to hang out, hang out with 'Shanghai Beach'!

Even if you can't hang out in Shanghai, you can hang out in Causeway Bay!

This is in line with Pug's temperament.

New Jersey, which is separated from Manhattan by the Hudson River, is at least Causeway Bay, if not Shanghai Beach.

Haha. Just kidding.

The Nets and the Nuggets, one is a team competing for the championship next to a big city, and the other is a team that is getting fatter in the plateau and mountainous areas. If there is a choice, anyone can easily make a choice.

So after getting the news that Bago was traded to the Nets, all other players of the Chinese team congratulated Bago.

"The Nets are a team that competes for the championship. Such a team does not support idlers or useless people. If they are not really optimistic about the bus, they will never trade the bus to waste a team spot."

"The bus career is about to take off."

Teacher Zhang is quite clear about this matter.

"Hahahaha, I don't care if I go to the Nets or not. The main thing is that I can play with Mr. Chen and receive guidance from Mr. Chen!"

Pug said this very sincerely, without any hypocrisy.

Moreover, this is indeed Battelle's heart.

He is very confident in his own strength, so he had opinions on the team's forced promotion of Yao Ming, and he had a lot of opinions.

At the same time, he is also very clear about his own strength. He has comprehensive skills and a strong body, but his speed is slow, super slow, slower than O'Neal, which is very fatal.

If the speed is slow, his defensive actions are prone to deformation and fouls. He doesn't really want so many fouls, he really can't help it.

His defensive moves don't support him blocking opponents in the NBA without fouling.

But since Chen Xiao adjusted his defensive posture in the Chinese team, he felt that he had found the most suitable defensive movement for his speed!

Chen Xiao is currently correcting his defensive movements in an all-round way, so that he can stand up and defend on the court!

This is really important to his career, he is only 26 years old, he still has ambitions for his career, otherwise he wouldn't be in the same boat as Yao Ming.

Therefore, when he met Chen Xiao who could change his entire career, Battelle really didn't want to be separated from Chen Xiao for a moment.

You must finish learning the movements and postures of standing and defending by Chen Xiao's side!

In fact, Chen Xiao changed Battelle's defensive posture based on the breakthrough experience card, and now the main thing is to see if he can adapt to it.

The 26-year-old can say whether he is big or small, and whether he can get rid of the "inappropriate" defensive moves and habits before depends on his own perseverance.

Everyone is happy for Battelle to make a breakthrough in his NBA career.

"Maybe Xiao Chen and Ba Ge will be the first Chinese players to win the NBA championship!"

Facing everyone's blessings, Chen Xiao and Battelle laughed together.

Now the players of the Chinese team really like to laugh!

In the past, the filth was not enough to boast, but now there is no limit to debauchery. The spring breeze is proud of the horseshoe disease, and I can see all the flowers in Chang'an in one day.

This is the mentality of the Chinese team players after defeating the US team.

Whether you can become a prime minister after enrolling in the imperial examination requires a chance.

The most important thing is that the title of the gold list is well-known in the world, and the pride of realizing it after blowing out the cowhide!

How many days can there be in life!

Even Yao Ming, who has always been modest and prudent, wants to be as carefree as Battelle.

Now, it was the peak of their careers for the time being!

After defeating the US team, the conditions of public opinion around the Chinese team were very relaxed.

Whether it is the Chinese media, the international media, or even the media of the US team, they all praise them.

Unconditionally praised the first team in history to defeat the dream team.

No one asked them to win the final World Championships after defeating the US team.

According to the competition system of this World Championships, this is a "strong man locks men".

The competition system of this World Championship is that 16 teams will be divided into four groups for preliminaries. The top three in the preliminaries will enter the semi-finals with a total of 12 teams.

The 12 teams will be divided into groups E and F. Group E is the top three in the AB preliminaries, and Group F is the top three in the CD two preliminaries.

In the semi-finals, opponents who have played in the preliminaries will not play again.

After the three rematch games, the top four teams in the group will advance to the quarterfinals, and then the top four teams in the EF two groups will cross and eliminate each other to decide the champion along the way.

It can be clearly seen from this competition system that the US team lost to the Chinese team, but was not eliminated.

And it is impossible to be eliminated in the preliminaries and semi-finals.

As long as it enters the knockout round, the US team is still the strongest team in the world.

So, don't look at the US team losing, basketball people all over the world are carnival, but the gambling company, the US team's winning odds are still the first, Yugoslavia is second, but the distance has been shortened, and the Chinese team is third, but the odds are far away. These two teams have come a long way.

No way, the hard power of the US team is old and strong, and Yugoslavia has always restrained the Chinese team.

The Chinese team beat the US team with a full team state, which is really a rare thing.

The next time the United States is played, Carl will come up to get A Davis and the captain to send it up?

The next time he fights the United States, will Zhu Fangyu beat Pierce twice in a row?

The next time he fights against the United States, can Chen Xiao shoot Pierce three times in a row?

The next time they play against the United States, will Xiaoyaowang and Xiaoweizi still hit those two murderous shots?

Couldn't have asked for more.

Ask for more, that's not honey, that's black.

Therefore, on September 1st, because of the end of the preliminaries, the US team took a day off, and the entire US team recovered from the state of being absent-minded.

"It is not normal for us to lose to the Chinese team. The next time we meet the Chinese team, we will let them know what the real American team is like!"

"Hopefully they can go far enough!"

"Wonder boy? He's very interesting, hehe, very interesting. I like him very much. I didn't treat him well last time. Next time I see him, I will treat him well, hehe."

Pierce, the head player of the US team, was a little annoyed by the stalk of "seeing Piercemont".

This meme is not only the hottest sports meme in China, but also in the United States.

Just ask the wolf king about Chen Xiao's ability to make trouble.

Chen Xiao's ability to create memes really comes with traffic.

In this regard, Pierce said that if you don't get back the field, you can count the Celtics as a ball!

"Xiao Chen, Pierce is threatening us. He wants to mess with us again in the semifinals or finals, so as to avenge us for defeating them. Besides, he named you, aren't you afraid?"

"Not afraid."

o(Д)っwhat? !

This is the threat of the NBA's top all-star players!

In fact, Chen Xiao is really not afraid of Pierce's name call. Pierce is not Marion, he is afraid of the ball.

In the Chinese team, he doesn't hold the ball, and he doesn't play with his back. He is a "cold-blooded and ruthless" sa player next to Yao Ming and Ba Ge, a top-level role player, who shoots cold arrows. He has nothing to be afraid of.

Therefore, Chen Xiao is very sincere and calm, whether facing the concern of Yao Ming and his teammates, or facing the media's interviews and this topic.

"I will wait for Paul's reception, I hope he can arrive as scheduled, not like the last game, I waited for him for a long time, he is still a little slow, I know he wants to be fast, but the speed is slow, the hands are short It's a little late, but I can't come up."

"So, tell Paul for me that he entertained very well in the last game. I am very satisfied. He tried his best. I don't blame him for the four-for-four in the first quarter. Don't let him take it to heart."

"..."

After Chen Xiao finished speaking with that iconic boyish sincere smile, the American reporters in the audience were stunned.

"Wonder Boy was talking trash just now?"

"Isn't it? His expression is very sincere, and his tone is also very sincere. This is definitely not the appearance of talking trash!"

"So is he really praising Pierce in good faith?"

They are obviously sincerely praising others, but why do they feel so heart-wrenching in every sentence?

"I'm afraid that Pierce can't help boasting. Before listening to his boasting, he shut himself up!"

In the American team's station, watching Chen Xiao's response to his provocation, Pierce, who had recovered his fighting spirit, became autistic again.

"Poor Paul..."

The other players of the US team looked at Pierce with sympathy at this time and at the same time looked at each other in blank dismay.

"That vicious beginner, you must not talk to him next time you meet him!"

If you can do it, you must not beep too much!

Pierce can also be regarded as a player with a relatively strong ability to "talk" among American players this year, but this talk, it is not even a fight and a retreat, it is a complete defeat!

"It's too awful!"

During the one-day break in the preliminaries of the World Championships, the first round of the match that Pierce provoked ended.

Of course, Chen Xiao didn't know that Pierce was forced to shut himself up again.

"Dayao, look, no matter how ugly or vicious the other person speaks, as long as we treat people with sincerity and convince them with reason, we can impress them. Pierce was moved by my sincerity, and he won't threaten me now."

"..."

Yao Ming didn't know how to describe his mood at this time.

In short, he felt that the wings of the angel in his heart before him were slowly fading and turning black...

After a day off on September 1st, the Chinese veterans with old arms and legs regained some vitality, while the young players of the Chinese team were led by the three heroes of the Chinese team, Chen Xuande, Yao Yunchang, and Bayide. Yes, I can't wait to kill Argentina.

After defeating the United States, the Chinese team, which no longer has any performance pressure, is really full of morale.

What is a mere Argentina!

When the players of the Chinese team rushed over, they realized that they had kicked the iron plate.

In the last game against the U.S. team, Battelle, Baku, was so brave that Argentina flew a kite and made him unable to take care of himself in this game.

Argentina's starting players from center to guard, everyone has a strong shooting ability.

It's impossible for Pug to stay inside like he did with the US team.

Whether it's Bago or Yao Ming, one or all of them are often pulled out of this game.

Bago's speed, of course, Yao Ming came out most of the time, and as soon as Yao Ming came out, then it was time for Argentina's Ginobili, who was a rookie in 2002 with Chen Xiao and Yao Ming, to perform.

That European step, that weird breakthrough, and the spiritual offensive method made Pug only play for 11 minutes after the first three quarters!

I really don't dare to let Pug go on, I feel like I'm about to be fouled when I stand on the field.

It doesn't matter that Argentina is strong, and all the players in it are acting school.

After the first three quarters, the Chinese team has committed 19 fouls.

Among them Li Nan 3 times, Hu Weidong 3 times, Guo Shiqiang 3 times, Gong Xiaobin 3 times.

What is this concept?

Five fouls in an international match will result in a penalty.

That is to say, after three quarters, except for Ba Ge, who dared not go up, the main force of the Chinese team, except for Yao Ming who fouled twice and Chen Xiao who fouled once, all of them fell into a foul crisis.

How can this be done?

After finally persisting for three quarters, Ba Ge, who had committed two fouls, could finally show his strengths in the fourth quarter. However, in the fourth quarter of the entire Chinese team, only Ba Ge, Yao Ming and Chen Xiao were three players who were not troubled by foul crises.

This is too miserable.

Reasonably speaking, the morale of the Chinese team players in this game is very high, and the shooting rate is also good. After three quarters, the shooting rate can still maintain 50%. 7 of 14 three-pointers is also 50%. The problem is, the shooting rate of the opposite Argentina It is 63%!

"I can't play this game, this Argentina is too weird!"

"The players of the Chinese team have worked very hard. Argentina is too restrained for the Chinese team!"

Director Zhang was also very anxious on the sidelines. He actually wanted to say that it would be much better if the Chinese team had Wang Zhizhi now.

However, he knew that he couldn't say that. As long as he said that, the rhythm would be brought up. At that time, the anger of the Chinese fans would completely obliterate Wang Zhizhi.

Now, Chinese basketball cannot lose Wang Zhizhi.

Especially when he got the news from above that Wang Zhizhi sincerely apologized after the Chinese team defeated the American team.

The national team is also planning to criticize and educate him, and then ask him to write a deep review, and then accept him again.

Fortunately, the Chinese team has an excellent record in the World Championships this time. Otherwise, it would be impossible for Wang Zhizhi to be readmitted so quickly.

The consciousness is too low, and his head was almost washed out by the banana man close friend next to him.

Those who believe those words will lose their IQ.

"The inside combination of Dayao and Daba still has a big problem!"

"It's not easy getting here."

85 to 95!

In the fourth quarter, under the leadership of Chen Xiao, Battelle and Yao Ming, the Chinese team fought hard to beat Argentina 23 to 22. They finally took the lead in the single quarter, but they still lost the game in the end.

In this campaign, Chen Xiao's performance was very stable. He was the most stable offensive player of the Chinese team in this game. He made 10 of 16 in the game, 3 of 7 three-pointers, and 5 of 5 free throws. 28 points.

As for Yao Ming, he performed poorly in this campaign. He only scored 11 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists in the game. Yao Ming cannot be blamed for this.

Yao Ming spent most of the game being kited by Argentina, running from the inside to the outside and then from the outside to the inside, wasting all his energy on the run.

Yao Ming played almost all of the first three quarters. In the fourth quarter, Yao Ming seemed unable to walk.

Bago scored 3 points in the first three quarters of this game, but in the fourth quarter, he returned to the court and went down the mountain like a beast, scoring 10 points in a single quarter, which is the biggest contributor to the Chinese team finally taking the lead in the fourth quarter and regaining a little face .

In this game, the veterans of the Chinese team performed poorly overall. They have been carrying a foul crisis all the time. It is no wonder that they are good. Just ask Pierce for the best understanding, but the young players of the Chinese team performed well. Liu Wei scored 12 points, Zhu Fangyu won It's 11 points.

The Argentine opponent made the Chinese team's iron fist seem to hit the cotton.

"Wonder boy, your performance is great, the next task of defeating the United States, leave it to us!"

"..."

Ah oh oh? !

Chen Xiao looked at Ginobili's back in surprise.

"Xiao Chen, what did that cunning guy tell you?"

"He said he wants to do America too!"

"..."

Yao Ming looked stupid.

When did such a powerful American team, the dream team, become prey?

Everyone wants to go up for a bite?

Ginobili...

This kid is crazy!

Yao Ming was surprised, but he was just surprised and didn't take it to heart.

Maybe it's just bragging?

Can't the US team be Santa Claus?

Can you always help everyone realize what they have blown out?

No way? No way? Shouldn't it?

On September 3, 2002, the World Championships lost for the first time, the second place in Group F, the Chinese team with 3 wins and 1 loss with 7 points faced the European powerhouse Russia, which lost 20 points to the US team in the previous game.

The game between the Chinese team and Russia had some ups and downs.

In the last game against Argentina, Yao Ming, who played almost the entire game, had some problems with his right hand. In addition, Chen Xiao was stuck by Russia's leading player Kirilenko as soon as he came up, which made the Chinese team start somewhat weak.

After the first quarter, the Chinese team fell behind Russia 15 to 21.

In the second quarter, the Chinese team, who came back to their senses a little bit, played an inextricable battle with Russia. The Chinese team was 15 to 16 in a single quarter. After halftime, the Chinese team was 30 to 37 behind by 7 points.

This point difference is acceptable for the Chinese team.

Russia fought fiercely in this game, because 3 losses and 1 win Russia must beat the Chinese team if they want to qualify for the quarterfinals.

It can be said that this game is a desperate battle for Russia.

Russia, which fought so hard in the first half, was not able to fight the Chinese team down, and it actually hurt Russia's morale a little bit.

Sure enough, in the second half, under the leadership of the two insiders Yao Ming and Battelle, the Chinese team tied the score as soon as they came up. At the critical moment, Chen Xiao, who was locked up by Kirilenko throughout the first half, was very uncomfortable. Battelle and Yao Ming's double screen blocked Kirilenko's pursuit, received a pass from Yao Ming, and hit a three-pointer one and a half steps away from the top of the arc, helping the Chinese team overtake the score.

After the Chinese team overtook the score, the rhythm of the game entered the rhythm of the Chinese team. In the end, after a very tragic hand-to-hand battle, the Chinese team defeated the Russian team 78 to 72.

In this campaign, Yao Ming made 4 of 6 free throws and 5 of 11 free throws, scoring 13 points and 9 rebounds. This free throw is very abnormal for Yao Ming. It can be seen that Yao Ming's palm contusion was a bit uncomfortable for him at the beginning.

And Pug, still brave, scored a game-high 18 points.

In addition, Chen Xiao, who was posted by Kirilenko in this game, made 5 of 13 in the game, 2 of 6 three-pointers, 5 of 6 free throws, and scored 17 points. Two high scores.

After the match against Russia, the Chinese team, with 4 wins, 1 loss and 9 points, has been confirmed to qualify for the group and advance to the quarterfinals.

The problem now is that the group is the first.

Whether it is Argentina, which has won all 5 games, or the Chinese team and the US team, which have 4 wins and 1 loss, will win the first place in Group F.

The Chinese team beat the US team, and Argentina beat the Chinese team. If the US team beats Argentina in the end, then the ranking in Group F will be interesting.

Therefore, when the match between China and Russia is over, everyone is staring at the group rankings of Group F.

including Yugoslavia.

Because they also want to fuck the United States!

The kind I want very much!

"How about we also offer $400 for a bet?"

"Okay, I guess they'll continue to lose face."

Peja and Divac looked at each other with a smile, and everything was silent.

On September 4, 2002, in the last match of Group F, the match between the Chinese team and New Zealand took the lead.

The Chinese team, which has already qualified in the group, was not blinded by the competition for the first place in the group.

In this game, the Chinese team rotated Hu Weidong and Gong Xiaobin, two veterans, and replaced them with the head of the team and Liu Wei's starters.

Without the support of the two outside veterans, the Chinese team did not adapt very well at the beginning, but after adapting, it gradually improved.

In particular, Li Nan, who started the game, was in a hot state. In the first half, he was just like Xiao Li Feidao. He made 6 consecutive three-pointers and Chen Xiao made 5 consecutive mid-range shots. The highest lead reached 24 points.

In this game, Li Nan made 8 of 12 three-pointers and scored 33 points.

In addition, Chen Xiao, who was made very uncomfortable by Kirilenko in the last match, finally had fun in this match.

Chen Xiao made 14 of 20 shots, 6 of 10 three-pointers, and 4 of 4 free throws. He scored a game-high 38 points in the game.

In this game, Chen Xiao's state has returned to courage, and Yao Ming's state has also returned to courage, and his courage is unbelievable.

He made 8 of 8 in the game, 11 of 11 free throws, and scored 27 points on 100% shooting.

It is because Yao Ming is so strong that Chen Xiao and Li Nan have so many opportunities outside.

Li Nan, Chen Xiao and Yao Ming scored 98 points in this game!

Of course, except for the three of them, the other players of the Chinese team scored very low.

The three of them felt hot, and Ba Ge and the others didn't want to steal the show.

In the end, the Chinese team defeated New Zealand 118 to 92.

"As long as the U.S. beats Argentina, we will be first in the group."

After the game, the Chinese team was still looking forward to it.

Back in the locker room, the first half of the match between the U.S. team and Argentina was over.

At this time, the score on the court was 52 to 32!

Argentina at the front, the US team at the back.

The US team lost another 20 points at halftime!

Seeing this score, to be reasonable, the Chinese team was dumbfounded from the coach to the players.

Is this really a dream team?

Are we afraid we are dreaming?

87 to 80!

At the end of the game, the American Dream Team 5 lost again!

"The bragging of Ginobili and Argentina also came true..."

"Is Team USA really Santa Claus?"

Yao Ming was dumbfounded.

The US team fans at the scene were equally dumbfounded.

The American fans at the scene are quiet now, save for their painful gasps.

"Is this another nightmare?"

"When will our nightmare end?"

"I have already lost two games, the nightmare, should it be over?"

Is the nightmare over?

The Yugoslav players who had ended the game earlier had clenched their hands into fists in front of the TV.

What a coincidence!

No, it's not a coincidence, I've been waiting for you for a long time!

Your group is third and our group is second.

"The nightmare has just begun!"
