Chapter 258 Li Xuan's FIBA First Match
On August 8, the Olympic Games kicked off in Athens, the capital of Greece.
At this moment, the Olympic Stadium in Athens, Greece, instantly became a sea of joy.
Under the leadership of Dayao, the Chinese delegation stepped into the arena with great arrogance and appeared in front of audiences all over the world.
Among the crowd, Li Xuan was wearing a Chinese red suit, waving flags excitedly.
Before sitting in front of the TV, he couldn't feel the atmosphere of the scene, he was just a spectator.
He was personally on the scene and became a participant, and he was extremely proud.
"The national anthem must be played in Athens!"
Li Xuan made a secret promise. He felt that he had the best chance of winning the gold medal in this Olympic Games.
The future dream team is not as weak as the dream team six, of course we have to pick the weak persimmons first.
Due to the joining of Li Xuan, the Chinese men's basketball team has attracted much attention at home and abroad.
Domestically, this national team is known as the strongest Chinese team in history.
The three major centers + the MVP of the finals are indeed better than any other.
Therefore, the goal of the Chinese men's basketball team in this Olympic Games is to win medals.
In foreign countries, the Chinese men's basketball team is also highly expected, and is listed as one of the international powerhouses, a potential opponent of the dream team.
Back at the scene, when the photographer gave shots to the Chinese delegation, he specially gave this year's new FMVP a separate shot.
When Li Xuan's good looks appeared on the big screen, there was a commotion in the audience.
In front of the TV, it also caused quite a stir.
"Hey! I have nowhere to put my good looks." Li Xuan touched his cheek helplessly.
In the ugly country delegation, Wade looked at the big screen and picked up a sour lemon.
"Why don't I get such treatment!" Wade was extremely envious.
James, who was as handsome as Wade, patted Wade on the shoulder and comforted him.
"Dwyane, good looks don't count for food, you still need to be able to fight to make money."
"But he is an exception, he is handsome and can fight!"
After hearing this, James shut himself up and didn't want to talk to Wade.
"Fuck! How can this guy suppress me in all directions!"
Not long after, the opening ceremony ended, and everyone returned to the Olympic Village to rest and prepare for the next competition.
Two days after the opening ceremony, the basketball program ushered in the opening game.
Group A: China VS Spain
Due to the high-profile game, there were no seats left in the auditorium.
There are also countless fans watching the game in front of the TV.
In the jump ball session, Gasol overwhelmed Dayao and gave the Spanish team the first chance to attack.
Raul Lopez received the basketball, and just took a few steps before he was shrouded in a shadow.
"Fuck! What happened?"
Lopez recovered, only to realize that the opponent's No. 10 player had pressed him all over the court.
"How did this guy play number one?" Lopez was a little puzzled.
He has also heard of Li Xuan's name while playing in Europe, and the head coach emphasized it before the game.
But he didn't expect this to happen.
Just when Lopez was in a daze, Li Xuan suddenly took out the ball.
Clap!
Li Xuan successfully steals the ball, quickly takes control of the basketball, and takes the lead in attacking the frontcourt.
When he came beyond the three-point line, he immediately stopped and took off to shoot.
Swish!Hollow into the net!
"Nice! Li, No. 10 player of the Chinese team, made a steal and counterattacked one-stop to score!" The on-site commentator said passionately.
At this time, the players on the field realized what happened before.
Other players of the Chinese team stepped forward to celebrate with high-fives of Li Xuan who returned to defense.
"Ah Xuan, you did a good job! We boosted our morale in the first round." Dayao said with a smile.
"Low-key, low-key, routine operation, I didn't expect it to be so easy."
Li Xuan originally wanted to press for a delay, but saw that the opponent exposed the ball, so he had to accept the steal with tears in his eyes.
At the same time, in the commentary hall of the sports channel, Director Zhang and Director Xu, who are the commentators, are commenting on the attack and defense.
"I didn't expect Li Xuan to appear in the No. [-] position. It seems that he has improved again, which is worthy of joy."
"That's right, Xiao Li did surprise us. In the past, others were pressing us hard. Now it's the other way around, and we can do it too."
Director Zhang is very happy. With Li Xuan playing point guard, he is not afraid of being pressed by the audience.
Back on the field, Gasol patted Lopez on the shoulder and said something.
"Don't be careless, that guy is FMVP anyway."
Lopez nodded, expressing his understanding that he was really careless before being intercepted.
The game continued, and the Spanish team served the bottom line.
Lopez received the pass, dribbled a few steps and was pressed by Li Xuan again.
"I still want to steal, but I won't be careless this time."
Lopez tried his best to push Li Xuan away and squeeze out the breakthrough space, but he didn't expect that he would be staggered instead.
Seeing that the basketball was exposed again, Li Xuan immediately cut the ball, then picked up the basketball and ran towards the frontcourt.
This time Li Xuan didn't stay outside the three-point line, he rushed straight into the penalty area, soared into the air, and dunked with a big windmill.
The possession of the ball is converted and the Spanish team attacks.
This time, the Spanish team deliberately left two supporters.
Consecutive steals are indeed a blow to morale.
Seeing Li Xuan running forward, Lopez was so frightened that he immediately passed the ball.
The other Chinese players did not have Li Xuan's defensive ability and could not press.
Therefore, the players in Spain's possession passed halftime smoothly, and then passed the ball to the core Gasol.
Gasol received the pass, hit Dayao with his back, hit it a few times, and immediately turned around and shot a jumper.
Dayao didn't take off, but stretched out his arms to interfere.
The basketball bounced out of the frame, roughly protected the offensive rebound, and passed it to Li Xuan to advance.
After Li Xuan received the ball, he started quickly and rushed towards the frontcourt.
Seeing this, Lopez immediately stepped forward to steal.
He had read Li Xuan's profile before and knew his weaknesses.
"Give it back to me!"
Lopez takes a risky steal, extending his arm and dipping the ball.
Li Xuan quickly made a backhand change, easily passed Lopez, came beyond the three-point line, unguarded, pulled it up, and threw the basketball in his hand.
"Shh!"
The basketball is hollow into the net and hits steadily!
On the sidelines, Spanish coach Imbudaro frowned.
He didn't expect to encounter such a situation at the beginning.
The coaching staff of the Spanish team carefully studied the video of the Chinese team's warm-up match and formulated corresponding tactics.
"Fuck! It's so shameless to keep a hand."
Because Li Xuan changed to play point guard, some of Imbudaro's tactics were in vain.
On the court, the Spanish team missed another attack. Li Xuan grabbed the rebound and dribbled forward.
When he was beyond the three-point line, Li Xuan pulled up directly and shot a three-pointer against Lopez's defense.
Lopez is only 183 centimeters tall, so he can't interfere effectively with Li Xuan at all.
Swish!
Basketball goes through the net.
On the sidelines, the Spanish coach Imbudaro immediately requested a timeout.
The game was scored 3-11 after only two or three minutes, and the Spanish team hadn't scored yet, so it really should be adjusted.
In the commentary hall of the sports channel, taking advantage of the timeout period, Director Zhang and Director Xu analyzed the situation on the field.
"Relying on Li Xuan's outstanding performance, he has already led the Spanish team by double digits. This is a perfect start."
"It is indeed a good performance. As long as Xiao Li and the others can maintain the situation and suppress the Spanish team, there is a high chance of winning this game."
Director Zhang is in a very happy mood at this time. If they can win against the strongest Spanish team in Group A, then the Chinese team will basically be able to qualify smoothly.
Pause back, and the game continues.
As soon as he came up, Spanish shooting guard Cabañas broke through and scored a layup, breaking the Spanish team's scoring drought.
The Chinese team responded quickly. Facing the defense of Spain's small forward Navarro, Li Xuan broke through with the ball, triggered the effect of the skill [Lightning Step], and passed Navarro in one step and rushed into the penalty area.
When he came to the penalty area, Li Xuan encountered Gasol's supplementary defense and passed the ball from Gasol's crotch to Yao at the basket.
Dayao received the pass, rose from the ground, and dunked the ball into the basket with both hands.
"Good shot! The cooperation between Li Xuan and Dayao is quite tacit." Director Zhang commented.
In the next round, Gasol, the core of the Spanish team, singled out Yao, hit a hook and scored 2 points.
Subsequently, Li Xuan broke through with the ball, attracted the defense and then divided the ball, assisting Li Nan to hit a three-pointer.
Looking back, Spanish striker Navarro returned a three-pointer.
In the next few rounds, both sides scored points, and the point difference remained at about 8 points.
When the first quarter played for about 8 minutes, Dayao and others were replaced for a rest, and Daba and others were replaced.
Losing the offensive point of Dayao, the heavy responsibility of the Chinese team's offense fell to Li Xuan.
Immediately, the Chinese team began to play pick-and-roll tactics, and the size of the bus was the most suitable for blocking people.
With the help of screens, Li Xuan made frequent mid-range jump shots with very good efficiency.
Seeing this situation, the Spanish team immediately double-teamed Li Xuan to limit the scoring.
Li Xuan was happy to see this situation, and immediately scored the ball to assist his teammates.
Among them, the UAE has benefited the most, frequently cutting and eating cakes to score.
On the other hand, the Spanish team's offense is still unable to open.
The outside line was stared at by Li Xuan, a defensive madman, and the offensive efficiency was very low.
It is not so easy for Gasol on the inside to force the bus, and from time to time he suffers from the defense of the UAE, which disrupts his offensive rhythm.
At the end of the first quarter, the score on the big screen was 28 to 18, and the Chinese team led by 10 points.
After the start of the second quarter, Li Xuan took a break and Dayao led the team alone.
The Spanish team took this opportunity to quickly recover 5 points.
Not to be outdone, Dayao stood up and scored 4 points by hitting the inside line one after another, widening the gap to 9 points.
Subsequently, the Spanish team's outside line began to exert force, hitting three-pointers one after another.
They were aggrieved by Li Xuan's defense in the first quarter, but now they exploded completely.
Seeing that the point difference was about to be tied, Harris immediately sent Dinghaishenzhen Li Xuan to the game.
As soon as he entered the field, Li Xuan broke through with the ball and hit a jumper with an emergency stop, stabilizing the situation.
Afterwards, Li Xuan's assisted defense interfered with Navarro's three-point shot and contained the Spanish team's offense.
The Chinese team launched a counterattack. Li Xuan dribbled the ball forward and broke through to the basket. When the Spanish team shrank their defense, they passed the ball without looking at the back pass.
Dayao near the free throw line received the pass and made a mid-range jumper.
Afterwards, Li Xuan saw through Lopez's intention to pass the ball, and suddenly rushed out to intercept the pass, and then took the lead, coming outside the three-point line and hitting a three-pointer.
"Good shot! Li Xuan stabilized the situation as soon as he came on the court, and played a wave of 7-0 attacks. He deserves to be the FMVP." Director Zhang praised.
In the next few rounds, the Spanish team's offense was paralyzed again.
Dayao stood under the basket like Optimus Prime, protecting the penalty area tightly.
Li Xuan infinitely assisted in preventing harassment on the outside, which made the Spanish team lose sight on the outside.
This internal and external combination can be regarded as completely locking the Spanish team's offense.
Meanwhile, Dream Team coach Larry Brown watched the game on television.
"I didn't expect that the Chinese team still has two brushes."
In Old Brown's opinion, the addition of Li Xuan has indeed raised the overall strength of the Chinese team to a higher level, but it is said to be the strongest Chinese team in history.
And the combination of Smelly Brat and Big Yao is indeed very strong.
What he didn't expect was that the stinky brat actually practiced the ball control, and his pass and control skills looked pretty good.
But even so, Larry Brown is still very confident that the dream team can beat the Chinese team.
"The Spanish team's confrontation is too weak. The dream team's defense is much stronger than this."
Larry Brown believed that the Spanish team's defense against Li Xuan and Dayao was too poor, and there was no confrontation at all, which made those two guys play so well.
"The Chinese team is nothing to worry about. It is a waste of time to continue watching."
Larry Brown turns off the TV and gets on with the matter at hand.
Back on the court, there were about 26 seconds left in the second quarter.
The Spanish team has the ball, Lopez holds the ball to press the time, and then passes it to Gasol to end the attack.
After Gasol slapped Dayao on the back, he immediately turned over and shot a jumper.
"Bang!"
The basketball bounced out of the hoop and missed.
Li Xuan grabbed the rebound and quickly broke through the frontcourt. Seeing that the time was approaching, he threw the ball just past the center line.
The basketball draws a perfect arc in the air.
Swish!Hollow into the net!
There was thunderous applause in the auditorium, and cheers and shouts filled the arena.
"Hey! Li Xuan's ultra-long three-point shot is good, and the point difference has been expanded to 15 points at once. The advantage is very obvious." Director Xu commented.
Not long after, the intermission ended and the third quarter began.
At the beginning, the Spanish team wanted to counterattack to narrow the point difference, but was strangled in the cradle by Li Xuan.
Li Xuan made a three-pointer first, then broke through with the ball, easily passed Navarro, broke into the penalty area, soared into the air, and dunked Gasol, who hastily returned to the defense.
After this dunk, it not only widened the point difference to about 20 points, but also completely extinguished the morale of the Spanish team.
In the following games, the Spanish team failed to organize a decent counterattack, and the point difference remained at around 15 points.
The Chinese team played steadily, pursued offensive efficiency, reduced unnecessary mistakes, and prevented the Spanish team from using mistakes to fight back.
Under Li Xuan's control, the Chinese team maintained their lead until the end of the game.
In the end, the Chinese team got off to a good start with a 96-82 victory over the Spanish team.
本场最佳球员由李轩获得，拿到了32分6篮板10助攻4抢断2盖帽的全面数据。
It can be said that he performed exceptionally well in the first battle in the international arena, proving his own strength.
