Chapter 261 Dominate the world, starting from the dream team
In the past Olympic games, the ratings and attention of basketball events were generally not as high as those of the NBA.
But this time it was different, there was no small accident.
The fans did not expect that the Chinese team would qualify first in the group, and the dream team would qualify last.
Therefore, in the first round of the Olympic men's basketball knockout round, the encounter between the Chinese team and the dream team became extremely interesting.
In this game, neither the Chinese team nor the Dream Six team can afford to lose.
Whoever loses has to go home and fish.
Such an interesting game will certainly not lack the support of media reporters.
In the past few days of preparations, media reporters found the opportunity to enter the training hall, interviewed the protagonists of this focus battle, and warmed up for the game in advance.
"Li Xuan, do you feel any pressure when you encounter the dream team in the knockout round?" the reporter asked.
"We don't have any pressure. After all, bare feet are not afraid of wearing shoes. You should ask the dream team if there is any pressure." Li Xuan replied frankly.
"Although the dream team is not in shape, it is still the world's hegemony. Don't you worry about losing?" The reporter continued to ask.
"We won't lose!" Li Xuan replied confidently.
At this time, you can no longer be humble, you must be tough.
On the other side, Dream Six coach Larry Brown is also being interviewed by media reporters.
In order to warm up the game, the media reporters will definitely not let him go.
"Coach Brown, do you have the confidence to beat the Chinese team?"
"If I didn't have confidence, I wouldn't have picked the Chinese team as my opponent."
The incident of the Dream Team's release of water had been exposed by media reporters before, and Larry Brown had nothing to hide, and answered the question directly.
"The Chinese team has not lost yet, and they are in very good form, and their strength has improved a lot after Li Xuan joined. Can the dream team really beat them?" The reporter continued to ask.
"You don't have to worry about this. We will prove with practical actions that the Dream Six team is on the right track at this stage, and it is very easy to defeat a paper tiger like the Chinese team." Larry Brown replied with a smile.
In his opinion, as long as Li Xuan and Dayao are defended, the Chinese team can be completely defeated.
And he happens to have such a defensive champion under his command, which is more than enough to deal with the Chinese team.
After Larry Brown accepted the interview, he left immediately to prepare for the subsequent knockout rounds.
Although I don't pay much attention to the Chinese team ideologically, I still have to make preparations.
In the next few days, the two teams were not disturbed by the outside world and concentrated on preparing for the upcoming knockout round.
Time flies, and the day of the Olympic men's basketball knockout round has arrived.
On August 8, the first round of the knockout stage of the Olympic men's basketball team officially began.
The first to start is Lithuania, the first in Group B, and Italy, the fourth in Group A.
Both teams are European teams, have played many games and know each other well.
After the start of the game, Lithuanian defender Jaskovicius failed to continue his magical performance and was firmly locked by the Italian team.
In addition, Lithuania's outside line was collectively inaccurate, lost the strongest scoring method, and its strength was greatly reduced.
On the other hand, the Italian team played smoothly offensively, frequently cutting into the basket to score, and quickly widening the point difference.
In the end, the Italian team defeated the Lithuanian team 74 to 68 and advanced to the semi-finals.
After Italy's surprise advance to the semi-finals, the next two knockout matches will follow.
Spain, second in Group A, faced Greece, third in Group B.
Originally, the Greek team was the dream team to enter the quarter-finals, and its strength was the weakest of these teams.
Therefore, there is no suspense in the result of the game. The Spanish team beat the Greek team 85 to 62 and successfully advanced to the semi-finals.
After that, Argentina, third in Group A, faced Puerto Rico, second in Group B.
Relying on Manu Ginobili to kill the Quartet, the Argentine team quickly gained the lead.
In the end, the Argentine team defeated the Puerto Rico team 76-62 and successfully advanced to the semi-finals.
After the first three games, the fans were surprised to find that all the teams that qualified in Group B were eliminated.
"In this Olympics, is Group A so strong?!"
"It's not that Group A is strong, but that Group B is too weak! (The dog's head saves his life)"
"Then how strong is the No. [-] Chinese team in Group A! I'm a little worried about the dream team."
"Hahaha, I kind of expect the Dream Team to have the worst record in the Olympics."
"..."
Fans all over the world are discussing the next focus battle on the Internet.
After the first three "appetizers", the focus battle between the Chinese team and the dream team came to the finale.
On August 8, the Olympic Center Arena in Greece.
The quarter-finals knockout match between the Chinese team and the Dream Team officially kicked off.
After the two teams warmed up, the big screen at the scene showed the list of starting players of both sides.
The starting lineup of the Chinese team: Li Xuan, Li Nan, Zhu Fangyu, Daba, Dayao.
The fans at the scene were a little confused when they saw the starting lineup of the Chinese team.
Wasn't the previous lineup great?Why improvise?
But in the eyes of some professionals, it is taken for granted.
Puerto Rico has proven to the world how to beat the Dream Six, there are ready-made teaching fools do not learn.
For the Dream Six team, which has no shooting range and can only rush inside, the twin-tower lineup is perfect.
Dream Team Six starting lineup: Marbury, Iverson, Marion, Boozer, Duncan.
Larry Brown also made adjustments, sending Marion, a leading defensive player, to smash Li Xuan.
He thought that as long as Li Xuan, a stinky brat, was restrained, the Chinese team would be vulnerable.
"After I defeat the Chinese team, the rumors and rumors from the outside world will naturally die down. The premise is that this game must be won!"
Larry Brown is in a pretty good mood, and after this game, he will turn around completely.
Not long after, amidst the cheers and shouts of the audience, the game officially started.
In the jump ball session, Dayao overwhelmed Deng Daidai and gave the Chinese team the first chance to attack.
Li Xuan received the basketball and dribbled the ball towards the frontcourt without rushing.
There were no players from the Dream Six team to press forward, and they all knew that the guy in front of him was no longer what he used to be.
In this way, Li Xuan broke the century-old problem that plagued the Chinese team dribbling the ball past halftime.
Li Xuan came beyond the three-point line, looked at Marion waving his long arms in front of him, and probably knew the defensive strategy of the Dream Six team.
"Sean, congratulations on being the starter. This is your only chance to start this Olympic Games. Cherish it!"
Li Xuan made gestures while talking, asking his teammates to step forward to cooperate.
After listening to Li Xuan's words, Marion was at a loss, not knowing what the guy in front of him wanted to express.
Just when Marion was in a daze, Li Xuan immediately started to sprint towards the three-point line.
"Goodbye!"
The "hacker" reacted and immediately turned around to chase.
"Fuck! Got tricked by this guy!"
Marion just turned around to speed up, but hit a wall of people.
"Nimma! This guy is so fucking shameless!"
Knowing that he failed to defend, Marion kept greeting Li Xuan in his heart.
At the same time, after Li Xuan got rid of the defense, he broke through to the basket.
The other players of the Dream Six team immediately shrank, forming a siege.
Seeing this situation, Li Xuan didn't force it, but distributed the ball to the outside.
Outside the three-point line on the right, Li Nan received the pass and made a three-point shot before the Dream Six players returned to defense.
Swish it!Hollow into the net!
In such a situation without interference, "Little Li Flying Knife" Li Nan can basically hit.
After the goal, Li Nan and Li Xuan high-fived to celebrate, and then returned to their defensive area.
The possession of the ball was changed, and the Dream Six team attacked.
Marbury dribbled the ball across half court and handed it to Iverson to attack.
After "Answer" received the ball, he broke through without saying a word, easily passed Li Nan, broke through into the penalty area, and forced a layup against Dayao and Daba's defense.
The basketball bounced out of the hoop and was snatched down by Dayao.
"Fuck! The inside line is so crowded, even if I break through sharply, it's useless!"
Iverson complained, then approached Dayao and wanted to cut the ball.
After Dayao landed, he didn't put the ball down, but passed the basketball high up.
"Aaron, your thoughts are dangerous!"
Dayao said something with a smile, and then ran towards the frontcourt.
Seeing that the trick was seen through, Iverson caught up with Dayao and replied without any embarrassment.
"Yao, you have to be careful in the future, I will keep an eye on you all the time, don't relax."
After hearing this, Dayao smiled and didn't take it seriously.
It's not enough to affect his mentality!
On the other side, Li Xuan received the pass, launched a defensive counterattack, broke into the penalty area, and forcibly leaned on Marion to score a layup.
"Beep!"
The referee blew his whistle and called a foul on Marion.
Marion raised his hand helplessly. He did foul the ball.
"This guy is really strong, it hurts me to death."
"Hacker" rubbed his chest and complained in his heart.
He thought he could force Li Xuan to stop with his body, but he didn't expect to be knocked away, so he grabbed Li Xuan's jersey in a panic.
Li Xuan turned around and walked towards the free throw line. Seeing Marion's frustrated expression, he decided to stimulate him again.
"Sean, you defended very well, but when you met me, no defense was going to work."
After Li Xuan finished speaking, he walked to the free throw line and prepared for free throws.
Marion looked at Li Xuan's back and cursed inwardly.
"Smelly brat, I will show you a real tough defense."
Amidst the cheers of the fans, Li Xuan received the referee's pass and made a steady hit with an extra penalty.
6: 0!
The possession of the ball was changed, and the Dream Six team attacked.
After Marbury dribbled the ball for halftime, seeing that Iverson didn't ask for the ball, he dribbled to the top of the arc to organize an offense.
Li Xuan looked at Marbury in front of him, talking trash to disrupt his offensive rhythm.
"Old Ma, are you going to play this ball directly, or choose to play singles?"
Marbury was taken aback, recalling Li Xuan's words.
"Fuck! Doesn't this shit mean the same thing?!"
Just when Marbury was thinking, Li Xuan immediately started, stretched out his arm and took the ball.
Seeing this situation, Marbury came back to his senses in an instant, and wanted to do something to evade, but it was too late.
Li Xuan successfully took out the basketball in Marbury's hand, then rushed forward to pick up the basketball, and rushed towards the frontcourt.
When he came beyond the three-point line, he stopped and jumped suddenly, shot, and at the same time triggered the effect of the skill [Offensive Kaleidoscope].
"Shh!"
The basketball is hollow into the net and hits steadily!
9: 0!
On the sidelines, Larry Brown stomped his feet angrily when he saw the scene on the court.
What the hell is this shit playing!
Immediately, he yelled towards the field: "Increase defensive strength, reduce turnovers, and leave it to Tim!"
Marbury, who was dribbling, nodded and understood.
"Why did this old guy change his gender and didn't scold me?"
Marbury didn't think much, dribbled the ball beyond the three-point line, and hoisted the ball inside.
After Duncan received the ball, he moved out to make room for some singles.
The inside line is so crowded that even if O'Neill comes, he can only shake his head.
Dayao followed and stretched out his arms to prevent Deng Daidai from jumping.
Duncan saw Dayao following him, dribbled the ball to the right, leaned on Dayao to the edge of the penalty area, and threw the ball with a hook.
Dayao couldn't block the ball even if he wanted to, so he could only turn around and block Deng Dadai, ready to grab the rebound.
A basketball flying in the air rebounds into the basket.
9: 2!
On the sidelines, Larry Brown clapped his hands and smiled.
"Tim is still reliable, the other guys are bastards!"
Back on the field, the game continues.
Li Xuan dribbled the ball to the top of the arc, passed the ball inside, and then ran without the ball.
Marion immediately chased after him, not giving Li Xuan another chance to catch the ball.
After Dayao received the ball, the players of the Dream Team Six immediately flanked him without giving him the slightest chance.
Seeing this situation, Dayao chose to pass the ball instead of forcing it.
Li Xuan quickly passed through the penalty area, suddenly broke out and ran out of the three-point line, received a pass from Dayao, immediately pulled up, triggered the [catch-and-shooter] effect, and threw the ball smartly.
At this time, Marion, who was chasing him, was completely blocked by the bus and could not interfere at all.
"Fuck! How can I restrain that nasty little devil by myself!"
Marion complained in his heart that his teammates didn't go to help him defend.
Swish!Hollow into the net!
12: 2!
Seeing Li Xuan hit a three-pointer again, Marion was upset.
At this time, he happened to hear the scolding of the head coach Larry Brown, and he became even more upset.
"Fuck! It's all my fault. Everyone else has teammates to help. My teammates are dead!"
After venting in his heart, Marion ran to the frontcourt to participate in the attack.
The Dream Six team attacked, and this time it still let Duncan play singles.
After Deng Daidai received the ball, he used the iconic 45° to hit the board, but was interfered by Dayao and missed the hit.
The bus protected the rebound and passed it to Li Xuan to dribble forward.
After Li Xuan received the ball, the Mengmeng Six retreated very quickly and could not counterattack. They dribbled forward without rushing, waiting for Dayao to run into the penalty area and settle down.
When Li Xuan dribbled the ball beyond the three-point line, he found that Marion's defense was not as active as before, and he couldn't figure out what happened.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Xuan made a fake gesture of worshiping Buddha.
Seeing this, Marion rushed to interfere.
Although there is a problem with the attitude, it is still necessary to defend.
After he pounced, he didn't see Li Xuan shooting the ball, so he knew he had been fooled.
"Fuck! Someone got tricked!"
After Li Xuan passed Marion, he broke through to the free throw line and made a jumper with an emergency stop.
14: 2!
On the sidelines, Larry Brown saw this and immediately asked for a timeout before continuing the fight, fearing that the group of youngsters would piss him off.
