Super Legendary Superstar

This playful, streetball-like action made Nocioni startled.

Two months ago, he had seen such a move on the basketball court of National Christian College in Washington. At that time, the person who used this move was an old man with white hair and wrinkles on his face.

Nocioni recalled the appearance of the old man in his mind, and then glanced at Sun Zhuo's face...

"That old man is him!" Nocioni's heart was shocked to an unparalleled level. Maybe the hair can be dressed up and the wrinkles can be faked, but the eyes cannot be changed. The two people have exactly the same eyes!

"I had long suspected that the old man was pretending to be a young man, otherwise he wouldn't have such good bounce, but I never expected that his true identity turned out to be Sun Sun of the Lakers!"

Nocioni gradually understood why Sun Zhuo was targeting him like this. He did talk to his friends about Sun Zhuo on the sidelines that day, and his words were very disdainful. But the Spanish they used at that time, Sun Zhuo should not be able to understand. If he I understood it at that time, and I must have been convinced by Jiaozuo as the old man on the spot. Could it be that by some chance and coincidence afterwards, someone was found to translate their conversation?

"Oops, not only did I offend him that day, but I also provoked the US men's basketball team!" Nocioni swallowed and looked nervously in the direction of Wade and others in the audience, and found Wade, Mabou Both Li and Odom looked at him fiercely, wishing they could go on stage and brutalize him immediately.

Nocioni was completely frightened. He suddenly offended Sun Zhuo and the entire Dream Team 6!

"What's wrong with you?" Ginobili saw Nocioni's strange expression and stepped forward to ask.

"I...I'm fine." Nocioni did not dare to tell Ginobili the truth. He did not dare to let his teammates know that he was in trouble. Sun Zhuo targeted him so much because he was the first to provoke him.

Originally not strong enough, but now with a guilty conscience, Nocioni was completely lost in the attack. Under Sun Zhuo's tight defense, he either made a mistake in catching the ball, or was unable to make a move after receiving the ball.

In previous games between Argentina and China, Nocioni was the leading scorer, but today, he failed to score a point in half the game and made many mistakes, which directly led to Argentina trailing China by double digits at halftime.

"What's wrong with you? You can't be afraid of Sun just because he's targeting you. You have to fight back, you know?" the Argentine coach scolded Nocioni.

fight back? If Sun Zhuo was a small character, of course he would dare, but in this half, Nocioni completely saw Sun Zhuo's ferocity and talent. In addition, Sun Zhuo had been holding back his words for two months. His anger was fighting with him, how could he fight back?

Since Nocioni was completely out of shape, the Argentine coach simply abandoned him in the second half. This was equivalent to Argentina missing a general. Argentina could only rely on Ginobili and Scola in the second half.

In the second half, Sun Zhuo mainly focused on Ginobili and defended his three-pointers. If he had the ability to break through and score every time, then Sun Zhuo would admit it. However, FIBA ​​did not defend for three seconds. Ginobili wanted to stay in the paint. Scoring is not easy either. The most important thing is that the connection between him and his teammates is terrible. Ginobili can always find the most suitable points for his teammates and then help them score.

A strong team is indeed a strong team. In the absence of Nocioni, Argentina actually caught up with the points difference. Fortunately, Sun Zhuo stabilized the morale of the army and continued to score goals to prevent Argentina from overtaking.

In the end, Argentina felt bad in the fourth quarter and failed to come back to win. The Chinese team narrowly defeated Argentina, won three consecutive group stage victories, and continued to sit first in the group stage!

After this game, the Chinese team really scared everyone. They even defeated Spain and Argentina, two of the world's top teams. Could it be said that the Chinese team also has the strength to compete for the championship?

This is the first time other countries have looked at the Chinese team this way.

Even Wade believes that the Chinese team has become the number one rival of the US team!

After beating Argentina, the Chinese team still has two opponents in the group stage, one is Italy and the other is Serbia and Montenegro. In fact, with the current results of the Chinese team, it can already stop winning. It doesn't matter if they lose the next two games.

And if we take into account the opponents in Group B, then the Chinese team will deliberately lose them all, because the fourth place in Group B is very likely to be the American team.

The U.S. team has only lost one game so far. Harris does not believe that the U.S. team will lose again. He feels that the U.S. team just failed to find its form in the first game. Through these two victories, the U.S. team has rediscovered their rhythm and continues to win. I will win consecutively and get first or second in the group.

But Sun Zhuo knew that the American team would lose again.

What Harris means is to try his best to win. If you can win, win. Of course, if you can't win, don't force it. After all, you have already qualified, so you don't need to work too hard. It's time to focus on the knockout rounds.

In this game against Italy, everyone was a little relaxed in mentality and not as excited as the previous three games. Italy is a strong team and won the silver medal in the previous life. In the group stage with the Chinese team, they also beat the Chinese team by 30 points. China The team was badly abused. Sun Zhuo always remembered this. In the Athens Olympics, China suffered the worst defeat against Italy.

With the idea of ​​​​revenge, Sun Zhuo did not intend to make Italy comfortable in this game. Italy also wanted to win. They had won one and lost two before, but Sun Zhuo's three-pointer was extremely accurate this time. However, Italy still did not believe in evil. Once Once again, Sun Zhuo was given a chance from the corner. Unexpectedly, Sun Zhuo never missed a three-pointer from the corner.

The Italians were frightened, why are they so powerful? Throw one in?

If there are no NBA players in the team, they are ignorant. They don’t even know how good Sun Zhuo’s corner three-pointer is. They gave Sun Zhuo so many opportunities to shoot. There is no way. It doesn’t matter whether Sun Zhuo wins or loses in this game, but they are too Knowing how to "defend", in the end, relying on the advantage established by the three-pointer, the Chinese team won another game and secured the first place in Group A.

However, the American team lost to Lithuania that day.

Judging from the rankings, the possibility of China and the United States meeting is becoming more and more likely.

"Ah! Why did the American team lose again! Oh my god, they lost to Lithuania! What should we do? We are now first in Group A, and they are most likely fourth in Group B! We finally achieved such a once-in-a-lifetime performance In this year's session, we finally made history and competed for the top three, but if we met the American team in the quarter-finals, wouldn't we only be able to finish seventh or eighth? That would be too unlucky!" China! Yunus, the assistant coach of the team, almost collapsed after learning that the US team lost to Lithuania.

Not only him, but also the leaders of the basketball team kept sighing. They all wanted the Chinese team to get good results. If they win the quarter-finals, they can play in the semi-finals. Even if they lose in the semi-finals, they can at least compete for a bronze medal. The Chinese team They are already very satisfied if they can win the bronze medal in basketball.

But now, if you meet the US team in the quarter-finals, according to the current Olympic rules, if you lose, you can only compete for seventh or eighth place. So what is the point of winning so many games in the group stage?

Just like in the previous life, Spain won the group, and the Chinese team struggled to win two games and barely qualified. There was a huge gap between the two, but in the end, why not compete for seventh place together?

Sun Zhuo has never had such worries.

Is Team USA terrible?
