I’m Really Playing Basketball

For the Chinese audience, this year's Olympic Games is a happy one, especially on August 29th, BJ time. The Chinese audience is especially happy.

The Chinese women's volleyball team will compete with the Russian team in the Olympic women's volleyball final at 1 a.m. BJ time.

After two and a half hours of fierce fighting, the women's volleyball team finally managed to win three games in a row after losing two games first, with a total score of 3-2 (28-30, 25-27, 25-20, 25-23). , 15-12) defeated the Russian women's volleyball team to win the championship, winning the 31st gold medal for the Chinese delegation.

This is also the second time that the Chinese women's volleyball team has won gold in the Olympic women's volleyball competition since winning the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics.

When the women's volleyball girls were having a fierce battle with the Russian women's volleyball team, in the track and field arena, it had been 20 years since China had participated in the Olympics, and no male athlete had yet won a gold medal in the track and field arena.

In the men's 110-meter hurdles final held at 2:30 a.m. on August 29, BJ time, all of this was rewritten by Liu Xiang.

Liu Xiang achieved a historic breakthrough for China and even Asia when he participated in the Olympics for the first time.

Before Liu Xiang, the best performance of a Chinese male track and field athlete in the Olympics belonged to his fellow Shanghainese Zhu Jianhua.

At the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, Zhu Jianhua won the high jump bronze medal.

However, Liu Xiang won the championship in the 110-meter hurdles with a time of 12.91 seconds, breaking the Olympic record, becoming a legend among Chinese trapeze artists and Asian trapeze artists.

After the game, what Liu Xiang said at the press conference, who was extremely excited, became a legend in the history of Chinese sports.

"Please don't think that Asian or Chinese athletes are inferior to European and American athletes in hurdles. I will use practical actions to prove that Asia has me and China has me!"

The women's volleyball team won the championship on this day, returning to its peak and regaining its glory.

Liu Xiang's sprint victory on this day ushered in a new era of track and field in Asia.

After that, lanterns were put on, and the entire China was jubilant and did not move away from the TV. Even though it was already 3 o'clock in the morning, the entire China continent still seemed to be brightly lit, and the night seemed like day. .

Everyone is waiting for the men's basketball Olympic finals, which will start at 3:15 a.m. BJ time, between the Chinese team and Argentina.

After the Chinese team defeated Italy to advance to the Olympic finals, Argentina defeated Spain 88-80 in the semi-finals, and then the Chinese team reached the Olympic men's basketball finals.

With the help of Liu Xiang and the women's volleyball girls, will Chen Xiao and the Chinese men's basketball team draw a perfect ending to this magical early morning and this magical Olympics under the attention of the national audience?

Everyone is watching.

Chinese audiences across the ocean.

Chinese audience and world audience at the scene.

There is also Liu Xiang in front of the TV, and the women's volleyball players are all looking at the five starting players of the Chinese team on the TV who have already stepped onto the court.

Yao Ming, Chen Xiao, Zhu Fangyu, Li Nan, Liu Wei.

Everyone was listening to Teacher Zhang's excited and trembling voice on the TV.

"The Chinese team's opponent in the final of this game, Argentina, was the Chinese team's opponent in the group stage. Now the two teams meet again in the final. The players of the two teams are extremely familiar. As we all know, the Chinese team's Chen Xiao and the Argentine team's Ji Nobili is still a very good friend, this game will definitely be a fierce battle!”

"Argentina did not perform well in the group stage, only fourth in Group A, but their overall level is very high, and they have NBA stars like Ginobili. The fact that they can eliminate Spain and advance to the finals is a good proof."

"The starting lineup of the Chinese team in this game has not changed from the previous game against Italy. Chen Xiao still serves as the team's power forward. For Argentina, the starting lineup is center Volkovski and power forward Scola. , small forward Nocioni, guards Ginobili and Sanchez.”

The starting players of Argentina's championship in 2004 are not well-known to many people in later generations. Delfino and Oberto are now sitting on the bench. The starting center is former SuperSonics player Ruben Volkovsky, 2.09 meters, Argentina. The league's All-Star, regular season and playoff MVP player, he became famous very early and kept Oberto on the bench.

And Juan Ignacio Sanchez, who plays guard with Ginobili, has a huge background. He played alongside Ginobili at the age of 12. In 1996, when he was only 19 years old, he competed in the NCAA and once led the team in the NCAA. Entering the quarterfinals of the NCAA tournament, they were ultimately blocked by Duke University.

By the way, the Argentinian player nicknamed PePe averaged only 8.5 points per game during his four-year NCAA career, but averaged 3.2 steals per game!

That's right, the NCAA career average steals per game is 3.2, the second player in NCAA history with total steals.

At the same time, he averaged 6 assists per game in the NCAA.

At the same time, he was also the Player of the Year in the A10 League in the 99-00 season.

Argentina's most successful player in the NBA is Manu Ginobili.

And Argentina's most successful player in the NCAA is him.

His shooting is not as good as the younger Delfino, but in addition to shooting, he can be said to be better than the junior Delfino in other aspects. He is the most suitable defender for the Argentine team to partner with Ginobili.

He and Ginobili play offense and defense together, making them the best answer for Argentina's defense.

Ahem, these are of course not the popular science of Mr. Zhang, but purely the popular science of a certain Argentinian fan and writer, to rectify the name of one of the true leaders of Argentina who has been ignored by certain basketball writers.

From now on, when talking about the 2004 Argentina Miracle, don’t just know Delfino. Well, Sanchez is Ginobili’s partner. He is a real good friend for life, and they are of equal strength. You defend for me, and I defend for you. The perfect partner for the offense.

Although this guy has never played in the NBA, he is still very strong.

Back to business.

Returning to the match between the Chinese team and Argentina, Yao Ming and Volkovski jumped the ball. Yao Ming easily defeated Volkovski and won the first attack of the game for the Chinese team.

Don't think that in the NBA, Dayao's jump ball is popular. In the international arena, Dayao's jump ball is very good.

Dayao succeeded in jumping the ball. After Liu Wei took two steady steps under Sanchez's pressing defense, Sanchez immediately gave up pressing Liu Wei and returned to his defensive position.

His tackling is extremely strong, not because of his physical fitness, but because of his technique and anticipation.

If you are not careful, you will be cut off by him who is elusive.

Seeing Liu Wei being so careful and concentrating, Sanchez directly chose to give up.

To grab Liu Wei like this, it's best to use his physical fitness to press, but to be honest, if he has such strong physical fitness, he will definitely enter the NBA and become one of the strongest stealing players in NBA history.

On the court, Liu Wei immediately handed the ball to Chen Xiao after halftime. Chen Xiao hit the ball to Yao Ming under the basket under the quick attack of Scola and Nocioni. Yao Ming turned and hooked , was slapped in the hand by Volkowitzki and made a shooting foul.

"Argentina's defense is really bad!"

With that slap, James in the stands felt a sharp pain when he heard it.

In fact, Yao Ming, who was severely beaten by Volkowitzki, was indeed quite painful.

Argentina's defensive players are shorter than Italy's. The team's tallest Volkovsky is only 2.09 meters. In this case, their defensive movements are better than Italy's, and their defensive methods are also darker than Italy's. .

Let's put it this way, Italy's defense is actually not that dark, but Argentina's defense is really black.

During the 2002 World Championships, Chen Xiao and the players of the Chinese team witnessed it.

We are all old acquaintances.

If Argentina's defense is not bad, how can they still play at their height?

Of course, in addition to being black, the Argentine players' defense is also very strong, which is nothing to say.

Since everyone is old acquaintances, Yao Ming is of course prepared.

So after being slapped so hard, Yao Ming just rubbed his sore wrist and calmly made two free throws, scoring the first two points of the game for the Chinese team.

The game continued, Argentina attacked, and Andres Nocioni received a pass from Sanchez and scored 2 points for Argentina first.

Everyone in Argentina has a good shot. This is why Argentina is so difficult to play. Everyone can attack, but it is difficult to defend.

In this defense, Zhu Fangyu's defense against Nocioni is very qualified.

If it is said that Liu Wei has leapfrogged the ball under the training of Chen Xiao's experience card.

Then Xiaozhu's defense also improved rapidly under Chen Xiao's experience card.

In particular, Xiaozhu's height condition is very good, coupled with his defense, he is well-deserved as the number one small forward in Asia.

But he, the No. 1 small forward in Asia, still suffered a bit when he met Nocioni, mainly due to confrontation.

Piggy still needs to fight.

The technical problem is no longer big.

Of course, being overwhelmed by Nocioni's confrontation this time, Xiaozhu was not discouraged, and his eyes were still extremely firm.

Just like Yao Ming who was hacked just now.

"The players of the Chinese team are too focused in this game!"

Seeing this, Argentina's head coach Ruben Magnano frowned.

Argentina's dirty and dark style of play is very suitable for the collapse mentality.

When they played against the Dream Five team, Argentina's style of play broke the mentality of the Dream Five team, and Pierce even wanted to chase after the Argentine players in the end.

The Chinese team suffered from Argentina's loss in the 2002 World Championships.

This time, of course we won't suffer any more, you hit yours, I hit mine, we won't be played by you, and we won't play by ourselves!

"Our first Olympic champion must use his strength to bring real glory!"

This is what Chen Xiao said when he led the players of the Chinese team out of the locker room.

The Chinese women's volleyball team, Liu Xiang, the glory they brought to China, the Chinese men's basketball team will use their hands, feet, body and strength to protect it!

Therefore, Argentina, which is slightly weaker, wanted to use the strategy of collapse mentality to fight against the Chinese team, but it failed as soon as it made a move.

Of course, Argentina's strength has never been black and dirty, black and dirty are just icing on the cake, and their strength is still very strong.

If it weren't for the Chinese team, in history, in this year's Olympic Games, the hard power is the US team, and the real power is Argentina!

So from the beginning of the first quarter, the two sides started a fierce competition, and the score has been rising alternately.

With 5 minutes and 15 seconds left in the first quarter of the game, Yao Ming once again caused a foul under the basket and made two free throws. The Chinese team led 13-10 by 3 points, but soon Ginobili responded with a three-pointer. The ball tied the score.

With 4 minutes and 6 seconds left in the first quarter, Chen Xiao singled out Scola. Instead of dribbling, he leaned against Scola and hit a two-pointer from close range. However, Ginobili then "hit a three-pointer." Successfully, Argentina went ahead 16-15.

After that, Nocchioni's strong attack inside was blocked by Chen Xiao. Argentina's Sanchez grabbed the offensive rebound and passed it to Ginobili. Ginobili made a snake-like breakthrough and made a layup. Argentina went ahead by 3 points 18-15. .

What is intense?

This is intense!

It can be seen from the description of the game that the double insiders of Chen Xiao and Yao Ming still suppressed the rhythm in this game, but Argentina defender Ginobili was in superb form in this game.

Well, it may be that no one in the Chinese team can block his offensive rhythm.

Garnett couldn't stop his offensive rhythm in this year's finals.

There is no one in the Chinese team who can do it, including Chen Xiao.

The best thing about Ginobili is someone with extremely rich game experience who doesn't take advantage of his rhythm, and Chen Xiao is exactly a player with relatively little game experience.

Chen Xiao's lack of experience is a sure winner against the relatively static three threats.

But facing the dynamic snake step or European step, Chen Xiao was the one who was killed.

The rivalry between players is so interesting.

"After the NBA Finals, Ginobili completely blossomed!"

Chen Xiao can see that his good friend has become stronger after the baptism in the finals!

In a weak situation, Argentina actually took the lead at the end of the first quarter thanks to Ginobili's performance, and there was a tendency to pull away.

However, in the last 2 minutes and 30 seconds of the first quarter, Li Nan recovered two points from Chen Xiao's double-team pass.

Then Chen Xiao interfered with Ginobili's layup, and Yao Ming grabbed the backcourt rebound. Chen Xiao faced Nocioni's almost flagrant foul at the basket in a fast break, and not only scored the ball under the basket , and also caused Nocioni's foul.

Seeing Chen Xiao hanging on the rim with both hands for a dunk without being able to pull him off, Nosoni and the Argentinian players on the court were in despair.

"We have never seen such an insider in the international basketball arena!"

"Just now, I was interfering with Ginobili's layup on the defensive end, but when I turned around, I was already rushing to the opponent's basket on a fast break!"

To be honest, Argentina head coach Ruben Magnano has met Mengyi, so he has a lot of experience, but when he saw Chen Xiao not playing, he still found it incredible.

Not even the Dream Team has such an insider.

Maybe some of the inside players on the Dream Team can do it when they are at their peak, but...

This still couldn't reduce the shock that Chen Xiao brought to him.

After Chen Xiao successfully hit a three-pointer, the two sides tied again at 20-20.

After Argentinian center Oberto, who came on the bench, made a shot, the Chinese team's substitute centers Wang Zhizhi and Hu Weidong returned the favor. At the last moment, Ginobili scored his 10th point in the first quarter, helping Argentina win again 24-24. tied the score.

When the first quarter of the Olympic men's basketball final ended, James, Anthony, Wade and Paul on the sidelines were stunned.

"The technical content of both teams in this game is too high!"

"Not only are the technical and tactical levels high, but the players from both teams are also in excellent condition!"

"Has the level of the Olympic men's basketball finals reached this level?"

Not to mention Paul and the others, even Popovich looked dull in front of the TV at this time.

What made him sluggish was not only his technical and tactical level in this game, but also the strength Ginobili showed on the offensive end.

To be honest, although Luo Ge is very good, after watching this year's finals and looking at Ginobili who is now stronger than the finals, Popovich really regrets it now.

Damn Parker + Ginobili for Ron, this deal turns out not to be a big profit!

Maybe it’s not even a profit!

In the eyes of the world, the match between the Chinese team and Argentina continued. In the second quarter, Yao Ming took a break for the last few minutes of the first quarter and then continued to play. Chen Xiao, who was preparing to play the whole game, was also on the court.

In the second quarter, Argentina forward Nocchione scored first from the mid-range shot, but soon after, Chen Xiao and Yao Ming hit their first three-pointers of the game from outside the three-point line, and the Chinese team scored A small climax of 6-0.

Ginobili, who was forced to come on the court early, broke through and scored, ending the Chinese team's 6-0 offensive climax. 30 to 28, Argentina was once again only 2 points behind.

And soon, after Ginobili hit another three-pointer, the Argentina team actually took the lead again 31 to 30.

After Argentina took the lead, the Chinese team's head coach Faye Wong was not intimidated by Ginobili's crazy state and continued to put Yao Ming, Battelle, Wang Zhizhi, Chen Xiao and Hu Weidong on the court.

The Chinese team's small four lineup did not disappoint Faye Wong. After falling behind, Wang Zhizhi immediately broke through, scored a layup from the small basket, and caused a foul on the opponent. He made an additional free throw, 33 to 31, the Chinese team Overtaken again.

Immediately afterwards, Ginobili failed a try from outside the three-point line, and the Chinese team guarded the backcourt rebounds. With the Chinese team's weird lineup of one small and four big players, Argentina could not get the offensive rebounds.

It was the Chinese team's turn to attack. After Bago protected the backcourt rebound, Chen Xiao took the lead and scored 2 more points on the fast break. The Chinese team's lead in this game reached 4 points for the first time, 35 to 31.

The Chinese team's small and four players turned the Chinese team's advantage on the field into a victory in the score.

However, Argentina subsequently adjusted and once again added Ginobili's breakthrough. It has to be said that Ginobili's breakthrough now has a bit of invincibility in both the NBA and FIBA. Later, in Argentina With Nobili's continuous lifespan, the scores of both sides increased alternately.

Until the last moment, Chen Xiao once again pulled out and hit a three-pointer, and once again blocked Scola's shot on the defensive end, he scored on a fast break, setting off a 5-0 scoring climax for the Chinese team. The Chinese team 44 than 36, stretching the lead in this game to 8 points.

The Argentina team was forced to call a timeout, and then Scola's steps under the basket caused a foul on Chen Xiao and scored two free throws.

Just like Ginobili who is not very good at defending, Chen Xiao is not that good at defending the steps under the basket, and Scola's steps under the basket are really good.

After that, Argentina's substitute Delfino scored another three-pointer. At halftime, the Chinese team led by 3 points 46 to 43.

What was originally an 8-point lead suddenly turned into a 3-point lead, which stunned the Chinese audience in front of the TV.

“Argentina’s lineup is so strong!”

"Whenever there is a desperate situation, every Argentine player who is substituted seems to be able to perform immediately."

No kidding, this is the reason why Argentina is the strongest team in this tournament besides the Chinese team.

This Argentina's strength is really not an exaggeration.

With an international giant like Ginobili, Jordan, and a bunch of high-quality players like Scola, it would be worthwhile to beat anyone.

Even historically, in the knockout rounds, Argentina always suppressed everyone they played, including the American Dream Team.

For Argentina, they have been beaten by the Chinese team in this game. It can only be said that the Chinese inside line of Chen Xiao, Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhibago are really too strong!

Chen Xiao played the entire game, and whether he was paired with Yao Ming, Bage or Wang Zhizhi, he could control the situation of the game.

Therefore, from the first minute of the game, the Chinese team has been in control of the situation.

But facing Ginobili and Argentina, who are also good at creating miracles, it is difficult for the Chinese team, which has always been in control of the situation, to say that it will win now.

Under the nervous eyes of the Chinese fans in front of the TV, the third quarter turned out to be a sudden change. Ginobili scored first for Argentina with a three-pointer, helping Argentina tie the score 46-46.

Then, in excellent condition, he broke through and scored a layup again, giving Argentina another lead, 48 to 46. After that, Oberto scored another 2 points. Argentina started a 7-0 climax in the third quarter, 50-50. 46, Argentina actually led by 4 points.

This forced the Chinese team's head coach Faye Wong to immediately request a timeout.

Argentina’s resilience is incredible!

It just made Faye Wong look stupid.

It wasn't just Faye Wong who was dumbfounded by Argentina's tenacity. The Dream Six players with Popovich in front of the TV were also dumbfounded, okay?

"If we encounter this Argentine, I'm afraid it will also be a failure!"

It was more than just a defeat. The Dream Team faced Argentina. Historically, they fell behind by 16 points in the third quarter due to Argentina's outbursts. It was a miserable group, and they were completely exposed.

After the timeout, Liu Wei made very few mistakes in this game, and even made two consecutive mistakes in the third quarter. Obviously, he was deceived by the actor Ginobili.

After completing the steal, Ginobili hit the third three-pointer of the game with great touch. Argentina led by 7 points 53 to 46, a 10-0 climax!

But soon, in the next round, when the Chinese team attacked, Liu Wei no longer controlled the ball, and it was Chen Xiao who controlled the ball.

"In the first half, Argentina got used to Liu Wei's possession of the ball. In the second half, Sanchez and Ginobili made him make two mistakes in a row."

"Chen Xiao is going to switch to the guard position!"

This is the arrangement directed by Faye Wong. If Liu Wei continues to make mistakes, Chen Xiao will immediately switch back to the guard position.

Seeing the Chinese team react so quickly, Argentina's head coach Ruben Magnano frowned.

A 7-point lead is not enough!

And at this moment, on the court, Chen Xiao, who had returned to the guard position, scored two three-pointers!

Chen Xiao scored 6 points in a row from outside the three-point line, and the Chinese team chased the score to 52-53.

With Chen Xiao's two crucial three-pointers, the Chinese team stabilized the situation.

With 3 minutes and 10 seconds left in the third quarter, Chen Xiao and Liu Wei were on a pick-and-roll. This time Argentina chose to double-team Chen Xiao. Chen Xiao shot the ball, and Liu Wei made an unguarded three-pointer. Argentina played After defeating the Chinese team 10-0, the Chinese team also scored a 9-0 climax after replacing Chen Xiao as a defender.

"This game..."

Looking at the score of the Chinese team going over again now, looking at the score on the scoreboard at this time, 55 to 53!

James and the others were all stunned. The game was too exciting, right? !

However, compared with the stunned audience, Argentina's head coach Ruben Magnano was not stunned.

The Chinese team's Chen Xiao's switch between guard and power forward was simply a foul.

After attacking for the first half, they finally figured out how to beat Chen Xiao and Yao Ming's double inside tactics.

But the second half was better. Chen Xiao went outside and engaged in internal and external tactics with Yao Ming.

Argentina has to rearrange and adapt again.

After Chen Xiao led the Chinese team to a 9-0 run, the game became intense. Then Chen Xiao and Yao Ming started a pick-and-roll outside the three-point line. Chen Xiao passed the ball to Yao Ming, and Yao Ming faced Sanchez for a three-pointer in a misplaced position. Hit, 58 to 53, and Montechia immediately responded with a 58 to 55 hit.

In the last 1 minute and 10 seconds, Argentine veteran Volkovsky scored another three-pointer, and Argentina once again overtook the score with a 66-64 lead.

At this point, seeing Argentina once again take the lead, many spectators at the scene were numb, including Anthony and the others on the sidelines.

"How many times has this been the lead?"

"Why do all kinds of people in Argentina always come forward that I have never seen or heard of before?"

To be honest at this time, the Chinese audience in front of the TV felt like they were going crazy.

No kidding, Argentina in this year's Olympics is so magical.

Perhaps the most amazing team in Olympic history.

Fortunately, soon after Argentina took the lead, Wang Zhizhi and Chen Xiao used a pick-and-roll and received a pass from Chen Xiao to regain two points. The score was tied at 66-66 again.

However, in the final attack of the third quarter, Ginobili hit his fourth three-pointer and caused a foul on Li Nan. He made an extra free throw and Argentina entered the fourth quarter with a 70-66 lead.

Leading into the fourth quarter, and leading by 4 points. Logically speaking, Argentina's players are happy, but in fact they are not happy.

Because in the fourth quarter, Yao Ming is going to play again!

They are about to face the unpredictable combination of Chen Xiao and Yao Ming again.

In the fourth quarter, Chen Xiao scored first. After receiving a pass from Hu Weidong, Chen Xiao quickly hit Nocioni's fadeaway jumper from the mid-range and scored, 68 to 70.

In the next round, Argentina grabbed long rebounds many times. After Nocchioni missed many shots, the Chinese team relied on Yao Ming to recover another 2 points.

70 to 70!

The two teams were tied again!

At this time, even Spanish boss Gasol, who won the battle for third place on the sidelines, felt suffocated.

"This game is definitely the most exciting Olympic men's basketball final I have ever seen!"

Gasol clenched his fists tightly, how eager he was to play such a game!

But no matter whether they faced the Chinese team or Argentina, he and Spain could not persist until the end.

"This year's Chinese team and Argentina are so strong!"

In the last 7 minutes and 40 seconds, Argentina's substitute Montechia scored another key three-pointer. Argentina once again led 73-70. This three-pointer also pulled Argentina back from an unfavorable situation.

However, everyone knows that although Argentina is now leading, the Chinese team is still the one with the advantage, because Ginobili, who single-handedly carried Argentina in the first three quarters, is now empty.

Known as 20-minute Jordan, he has already played 30 minutes of Jordan-style games.

Compared with Argentina, Yao Ming has always had a rest, while Chen Xiao is simply a physical monster compared to Ginobili.

Therefore, the scale of victory is tilting.

With 5 minutes left in the game, the Chinese team relied on Yao Ming's 2+1 under the basket to beat Oberto and once again take the lead, 79 to 76.

Argentina requested a timeout. After the timeout, in the last 4 minutes and 50 seconds, Argentina's Herman hit a mid-range shot, and another person stepped forward. 78 to 79, the Argentina team continued to maintain pressure on the Chinese team, but then Chen Xiao and Yao Ming picked and rolled. , made a three-pointer, 82 to 78.

In the last 3 minutes and 43 seconds, Herman scored another three-pointer, and Argentina once again closed the score at 81-82.

Starting from Ginobili to Herman, how many people stood up for Argentina in this game?

In this game, Argentina used almost all its weapons.

But in the end, Argentina faced the Chinese team led by Chen Xiao and Yao Ming, and ultimately failed to create another miracle of comeback. After Argentina used foul tactics at the end, the Chinese team relied on good free throws and finally won 92-89.

At the last moment, Ginobili's desperate backcourt shot with no time became the final footnote of this game.

And when Ginobili threw that desperate three-pointer in the backcourt, Chen Xiao had already roared and tore the jersey off his body, then grabbed the half of the jersey with the national emblem and kissed the golden piece. red.

At this moment, the whole country was in an uproar, and it seemed like an eternity!

"Champion, this is the greatest basketball game ever!"

At this moment, Director Zhang burst into tears.
