The Fifth Point Guard

The thin and youngest Yi Jianlian stood in the middle of the second row of the team, holding a five-star red flag. The air flow in the court was not good, but at this moment the national flag was completely unfolded, as if fluttering in the wind.

The five starting five Tigers in this game, Yao Ming, Wang Zhizhi, Shen Tong, Zhang Jinsong, and Liu Wei, squatted at the forefront of the team, and the other players were distributed on both sides of the second row of Yi Jianlian.

"Crack", "Crack"...

The sound of taking pictures one after another.

"Sorry, please stay a little bit inside the second row from the right."

"Girl Lian, please raise the flag higher."

"Da Zhi, your posture is a bit like a pit..."

Listening to the voices of reporters who were constantly taking pictures, the blue veins on Shentong's forehead were a little raised.

Shen Tong: "Hey, can you hurry up, it's actually very tiring to maintain this position."

Yao Ming: "Yes, please be considerate of me as a big man."

Zhang Jinsong: "Cramp... Cramp... Cramp..."

...

The Chinese men's basketball team did their best in this game.

Zhang Jinsong played almost the entire game, something that Shentong couldn't do.

So when the final group photo was taken, Zhang Jinsong was the one with the worst cramps, a little bit worse than Dayao who squatted down and couldn't stand up...

In addition to Shentong's top performance, Yao Ming also scored a double-double with 21 points and 11 rebounds, a great contribution.

Although Zhang Jinsong didn't score many points, he contributed 4 steals and 2 blocks. Opposite Iverson scored only 13 points and made 5 of 20 shots.

After the game, Harris and Yunus smiled like flowers and almost flirted with some female reporters at the press conference.

Harris: "I said earlier that the performance of this Chinese team exceeded expectations. This game proved my point. They showed the spirit of the Chinese men's basketball team, but I can see that they are really Too tired, but it’s normal. They compete for every ball on the court. In the next few days, I hope they can have a good rest."

Yunus: "Wang Zhizhi was replaced in the fourth quarter because of his physical problems. We replaced him with Yi Jianlian. It was a very correct choice. Against those muscle clubs of the US team, Wang Zhizhi's hit rate is more dependent on physical fitness. In the fourth quarter, we solved the rotation problem well and kept our lead."

...

The eliminated U.S. team can only compete for 5-8th in the qualifying.

James accepted the media interview after the game.

"Lost? Why not. We have already lost Puerto Rico. Do you think this Chinese team will be worse than him?"

"I will not comment on Larry Brown, he is the head coach of the US team. But if I were in charge of this team, I would give more playing time to young people such as Amare, Cameron, Dwyane, etc. , Including me, I can play anywhere on the court."

"Well, we still have a game next, no matter what, we will go back and sum it up."

"Congratulations? No, I know what kind of strength Shentong has. He is my teammate. With him in the team, everything is possible. Moreover, the Chinese team also has players such as Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi. Their level is NBA level. , Defeating us is not very unexpected."

...

That night? The most exciting thing was not the double draw, the Chinese players, and the spectators watching the match.

The most exciting thing today is the Chinese fans!

When the whistle sounded at the end of the game? Basketball fans were as excited as the Chinese men's football team to enter the World Cup.

That's the American team, the Dream Six Team with the title of "Dream Team".

Why use fans instead of basketball fans?

Because at this moment, Chinese football fans are also very excited.

They have angered the Chinese men's football team.

"They should learn the fighting spirit of men's basketball!"

"Don't think that playing in the World Cup will be able to lie down on your laurels. Look at the men's basketball team. You can win the dream team. You can also try to beat Brazil."

"I think let this group of men's basketball players play football, maybe they can enter the World Cup after training."

"Brothers who like to chat...The passion chat room is waiting for you

Spain played steadily and maintained the lead from start to finish? Finally, they defeated Puerto Rico 88-68.

Argentina performed well, beating host Greece 78-71 to advance to the semifinals.

The match between Lithuania and Italy is inextricably difficult to understand. In the end, the Italian team overtook the score at the last minute and maintained a 1-point lead until the end of the game.

71-72? The first Lithuania team in Group B entered the knockout round and was defeated by Italy, fourth in Group A.

The Lithuania team, which is the European champion, faces an internal fragmentation. The disunity among teammates and the discordant atmosphere in the dressing room are the root causes of the Lithuanian team’s failure.

After the first round of the knockout round? The Chinese team will face Argentina in the semifinals, and the Spanish team will face Italy.

...

The Chinese team achieved a record of 4 wins and 1 loss in the group stage, but the only defeat was the loss to the Argentina team.

Center Oberto and power forward Scola are both strong.

Delfino, who has just joined the Pistons, and Volkowski, a veteran who played for the Sonics, are important substitutes for the team.

...

The Chinese fans hope that the team can defeat Argentina and advance to the Olympic men's basketball finals, revenge in the group stage.

But unfortunately, the Chinese team failed to continue its pace towards the championship.

After Shentong's emergency stop jumper came out of the basket, the Chinese men's basketball team lost the chance to tie the game at the end of the game.

After Ginobili made two free throws, although Shentong hit a three-pointer at the buzzer, it didn't help.

69-70. In a bayonet-like game, the Chinese team, which had tried their best with the US team in the last game, encountered physical problems at the end of the fourth quarter, which led to the failure of the excellent situation of leading 5 points.

However, in the third or fourth place, the Chinese team defeated the Spanish team in the semifinals 90-83, which was defeated by Italy, and won the first Olympic medal in the history of the Chinese men's basketball team.

Italy, which accidentally eliminated Spain, did not perform a miracle again in the final.

The Argentina team defeated China by one point and defeated the Italian team 84-69 in the final, winning the Olympic men's basketball championship for the first time.

On the same day, the Argentine men's football team also won the Olympic championship.

They also won two Olympic gold medals in the men's basketball and men's football.

The Chinese team won the medal for the first time and also made history.

It's a glorious defeat.
