Chapter 220 [Rampage against the Chinese Team]

Chinese fans sat in front of the TV, unable to conceal their excitement.

In all these years, they have never seen such a powerful Chinese team.

The Chinese team has always been at a disadvantage in previous matchups with Spain.But tonight, the Chinese team dominated Spain from the beginning.

Moreover, Yao Ming left the game early to rest after playing 6 minutes in the first quarter.

Su Xi led the Chinese team to continue racing.

In the past, Yao Ming was half of the Chinese team, and the moment he came off the field was equivalent to the beginning of the collapse.

But this time, it was different.After Yao Ming came off the field, although the Chinese team's offensive threat in the penalty area was greatly reduced, the defense was also relatively relieved.

But when Suhi increased his offensive impact, Spain couldn't stop him.

Moreover, under Su Xi's guidance, the Chinese team's shooters continued to exert pressure from the outside.

Spain still cannot escape the suppression.

Anyone who knows a little bit about basketball can clearly see that as long as Su Xi is pinched, the Chinese team will be ruined.Because all the offense and defense of the Chinese team are maintained by Su Xi alone.

Spain tried, but they couldn't succeed.

This silenced the Dream Team conference room.

It also made serious experts in the United States slap in the face.

Because they have been advocating a trend that Su Xi's success is entirely based on the strength of the Pacers themselves.It is impossible for Su Xi to succeed in any team.He is just an icing on the cake and does not have the ability to turn the tide and support a team.

But now, isn’t it the best proof?
ESPN's commentator tried to comfort their American fans: "The FIBA ​​system is conducive to amplifying the ability of the little sheep Suhi, and Spain's strength is not as good as that of NBA teams."

When he had to eat two pieces of shit, he chose to eat the one that was not so unpleasant: admitting that Su Xi was perfectly adapted to the FIBA ​​system.

The first quarter is over.

The Chinese team led by 25 points at 19:6.

In the second quarter, Yao Ming came on and played 7 minutes. He and Su Xi worked together to widen the point difference to 13 points.

Spain was only 10 points behind before the end of the first half.

The second half was a replica of the first half. Spain had been pinned down by the Chinese team. They tried to counterattack, but it immediately led to more violent suppression by Su Xi.Su Xi is like a devil, running rampant.His powerful body, near-ultimate speed and superb dribbling allow him to penetrate deep into the penalty area.

The European League advocates physical confrontation, but they have never seen such a point guard who can push center Gasol into the air.

98: 81.

The Chinese team won the first game of the group stage without any blood.

Get 2 points.

Su Xi played the entire game and scored a total of 15 points, 11 assists, 7 rebounds, 4 steals and 2 blocks.Extremely versatile.This is data under the FIBA ​​system. In the NBA, it must be multiplied by at least 1.3. The NBA has 12 minutes per quarter, while FIBA ​​only has 10 minutes.Moreover, NBA statistics are more professional and broader than FIBA.

Yao Ming played 23 minutes in this game and scored 28 points, with full efficiency.

After the game, he said with a smile: "I have never fought such a rich fight in my life. I feel so good today, just like drinking iced Coke."

It’s not just Yao Ming who drinks iced Coke, but also millions of basketball fans across China.

For them, today is like Chinese New Year.

They have never seen the Chinese team as strong as it is today.

It was surprising that a powerful force like Spain was unable to fight back.

Fans are increasingly looking forward to the next game.

When Yao Ming was being interviewed, there was silence in the conference room of the Dream Six Team. It was even more uncomfortable for the Chinese team to win than for them to lose.

Many of you here come with a revenge mentality.

Moreover, even if some players have no personal grudges with Su Xi, they cannot accept Su Xi becoming the Finals MVP.

Therefore, "teaching Su Xi a lesson" is the basic consensus of the Dream Team Six.

However, however.

...

The next day, the Dream Team met their first opponent in the group stage, Puerto Rico.

Before the game, the American media were bragging about how strong the Dream Six team's lineup was and how strong their belief in winning was.

However, as soon as the game started, his timidity immediately appeared.

Larry Brown is not a flexible head coach. He sticks to his set of tactics and vigorously stitches existing players into his system.And because of his stubborn weakness for superstar power, he always insists that the head coach is the first person in charge of the team, and even the assistant coach cannot influence his orders.

He always does.

That's why the Dream Team lost their first game to Puerto Rico.

The Chinese team won and the American team lost.

This stark contrast has made many domestic fans start to think boldly: Why can't we defeat the Dream Team?

Perhaps this idea is too shocking.

The Chinese team lost to Argentina in the second group match. The Eagles from the Pampas plateau defeated the Chinese team led by Su Xi and Yao Ming.This is Argentina’s golden generation.

Ginobili, Scola, Noccioni, Delfino, Fairman, Oberto... a group of elite soldiers defeated the Chinese team in a gorgeous and quick way.

尽管苏希和姚明的发挥非常强势，姚明拿到26分15篮板的大号两双，他打了32分钟，几乎没怎么休息。苏希也拿下15分11助攻10篮板3抢断的超级三双。

However, his two consecutive strikes at the last moment are considered to be the direct cause of the Chinese team's loss.

Su Xi herself also frankly stated in the media: "There is indeed a problem with my final choice of action."

Su Xi was flanked twice and chose to take action herself.

However, Yunus explained for Su Xi: "There was no problem with Jack's shooting. Yao's physical fitness was already limited at that time, and his teammates did not hit the shot earlier. I asked him to maintain an attacking posture."

The reason why Su Xi did this was not only because of Yao Ming's physical problems, but also because other teammates were very strong.The most important thing is that he wants to take advantage of the group stage to improve his ball-handling offense.

The super offensive talent he 'plagiarized' from Kobe needs to challenge the defense. The evolution of Kobe's acquired talent is very evil.Other talents can evolve in the matchup, but this matchup can also evolve, but it is full of inertia.As soon as it is challenged with a difficult defense, it quickly becomes active, and the more critical the moment, the higher the difficulty and the more iron it fights, the more excited it becomes.

Su Xi's two pieces of iron increased his super offensive talent by 1 point, reaching 74.

It's also good value for money.

After all, it's just a group match.

Subsequently, the Chinese team played consecutive games against Serbia and Montenegro and New Zealand, winning both games easily.

The final match is against Italy. Italy is also very strong this year. They defeated the Dream Team in the warm-up match.

However, the Chinese team did not give them a chance and started directly from the inside. Yao Ming took the lead to open up the situation, and then Su Xi shot out like a dragon, and then Wang Zhizhi led a group of tall shooters to continuously throw stones from the outside.

The Italians persisted until the 5th minute of the fourth quarter, but they couldn't hold on anymore, so they chose to actively start garbage time.

As the last group match comes to an end. The points rankings of Group A and Group B are also out.

In Group A, Spain and China both lost only one game and accumulated 1 points, while Argentina and Italy both lost two games and accumulated 9 points.New Zealand and Serbia and Montenegro were eliminated. (The rules of the Olympic group stage are that winning is worth 8 points and losing is worth 2 point.)
Group B is more complicated. Lithuania lost 1 game and scored 9 points.Greece, Puerto Rico, and the United States all lost 2 games and scored 8 points at the same time.

Teams with the same points will be ranked based on point difference.

The final ranking of Group A is: Spain, China, Italy, Argentina.

Group B ranking: Lithuania, Greece, Puerto Rico, United States.

Once this ranking comes out, it goes without saying who is the most embarrassing.

The Dream Team Six vowed to come to Athens for revenge, chanting loudly, and the entire United States knew that they were bound to win the Olympic gold medal.

But now, after the group stage, instead of showing off like a tiger, they are in the last eight.

This makes people very worried about whether they can successfully enter the finals.

After all, their opponent in the quarter-finals is Spain, the top team in Group A.

The Dream Team has been so sluggish in this Olympics, and other strong teams have gathered their strength and are ready to give it a try.

At this moment, the posture of the Olympic men's basketball team is very similar to a stage in Chinese history: Qin lost its deer, and the whole world chased it.

China's quarter-final opponent Puerto Rico is the one with the most ambition.

Because they defeated the Dream Team 92:73 at the end of the group stage, and they were full of confidence after winning by 19 points.

Their core is point guard Arroyo, who is only a bench player in the NBA and has very few playing opportunities.But when he entered the FIBA ​​system, he felt like a duck in water.In the game he defeated the Dream Team, Iverson and Marbury, two golden generation point guards, were disgraced.

Arroyo hopes to use the opportunity of this Olympic Games to change his career in the NBA, and he has an ambitious plan to defeat Su Xi.

He believes this is his best opportunity. Once he returns to the NBA, Su Xi will be the finals MVP, and he will return to the bench to continue suffering in the dark.

"In the Olympics, I don't have to be afraid of anyone. I feel like I can beat anyone."

"There is no need to talk about seniority here. I have enough ball rights. I can go head-to-head with any high-ranking star and beat them."

Arroyo made an ambitious statement in an interview with ESPN.

There was no need to guess who he was talking about.

The American media likes to ignite the situation and like to watch this kind of tense showdown.

They even used Arroyo's interview to tease Su Xi.

But Su Xi was indifferent. He just said: "I know."

Then, he asked reporters: "Have you heard of Liu Xiang? He just won the gold medal in the 110-meter hurdles on behalf of China. He is great. You should give him the biggest applause. He has broken through history. He is the strongest in history." The Asian flying star, he broke the monopoly in track and field."

Su Xi mentioned Liu Xiang with pride on her face.

He is Liu Xiang's publicity ambassador. The ESPN reporter listened to him chatting about the 110-meter hurdles for a while and left on his own initiative.

Liu Xiang is the biggest surprise for the Chinese team in this year's Olympic Games. After winning the Olympic gold medal, he quickly became a household name, his commercial value soared, and his personal popularity also achieved unprecedented achievements in China and Asia.

The last Asian athlete to be so popular was Su Xi.

Of course, the most popular one is still Su Xi.

Basketball is still more popular than the 110-meter hurdles.

The men's basketball quarterfinals attracted more than 3 million Chinese viewers, and the game was broadcast in prime time domestically.

At the beginning of the game, Su Xi gave Arroyo a little bit of shock to China.

He ran directly in from the three-point line and knocked Arroyo away with great force. Arroyo originally tried to pull Su Xi, but was directly knocked to the ground by Su Xi's powerful kinetic energy. He watched Su Xi helplessly. He entered the penalty area and completed a violent dunk under Yao Ming's cover.

The opening scene was a show of force.

Su Xi no matter how proud Arroyo is in front of Iverson and Marbury, but in front of me, you'd better keep a low profile.

Su Xi won't tolerate anyone's bad habits.

Marbury and Iverson are not strong defensive players, and they are not very adaptable to FIBA's entangled and confrontational style of play.

But Su Xi is good at it.

When Arroyo received the serve, he pressed forward with the whole court.

Arroyo's ball control level was very high, but he still stumbled. He finally made it past halftime. As soon as he stopped to sort it out, Su Xi took advantage of the situation and entangled him with all kinds of harassment.

Puerto Rico had to look for pick-and-roll screens.

But Su Xi is the strongest outside defender in the world in breaking pick-and-rolls. As soon as Arroyo used the screen to change direction and leave, Su Xi used his rare flexibility to spin quickly, and the silent cat was behind Arroyo. Royo's basketball has just been exposed...pop!

Su Xi's right hand had been withdrawn fiercely.

Just knock down Arroyo's basketball.

Wang Zhizhi in front was already prepared. He took away the basketball and threw it into the frontcourt, and that was it.

Su Xi rushed forward, grabbed the basketball, and rushed into the penalty area again to complete a dunk.

The Chinese fans at the scene were full of passion, waving red flags and shouting.

At this time, the camera showed Isaiah Thomas yawning on the Chinese team's bench.He has long been used to it.

He had already predicted that Su Xi would be more at home in FIBA ​​than in the NBA.

Because FIBA ​​encourages confrontation and focuses on defense.

It's not like the NBA is getting more and more hairy now.

Moreover, Su Xi's ability to control the ball is extremely strong, and he has the same style as he did back then.

To play FIBA, it's not enough for you to be physically strong, you also have to be steady with the ball.

LeBron James is also very strong, but why is he not performing well?Because his skills were not yet developed, he played 11 minutes against Puerto Rico and was called for three walks.

Here, the referee's eyes are the ruler and there is no ambiguity.

Su Xi has no such problem.

Moreover, Suhi has better open shooting ability than James.Suhi can play both with and without the ball.

Isn't his composite talent suitable for FIBA?
Among those defenders who are called the kings of Europe, which one is not like Su Xi?Strong, capable of holding the ball, and capable of shooting open shots... Suhi is an enhanced version of the 'King of Europe' in every aspect.

Sweeping FIBA ​​is just like playing.

The miracle of Puerto Rico did not continue.

Although they defeated the US team by 19 points in the group stage, it only took the Chinese team half a game to reach this score.

From now on, it will be about collecting interest from Dream Team [-].
