I’m Really Playing Basketball

  Chapter 303 The strongest duo!

  Mainland United States.

  The news that Larry Brown led the Dream Six Team to be out of the quarterfinals is still burning wildly.

  Especially for Larry Brown’s coaching for the Olympics, he is attacking in groups like crazy.

  No one thinks there is a problem with the Dream Team and the US Basketball Association buckling all the pots on Larry Brown’s head. No one sympathizes, even his apprentices, at this time, they dare not speak out in the face of turbulent public opinion.

The Associated Press bluntly said: Larry Brown can have today’s results completely on his own. His reputation is indeed loud enough, but the entire Olympic Games is a mess in both offensive and defense. At the moment of being out, there may be a lot of people who will. Like Carmelo Anthony’s idea, with a dog tied to the coach’s bench, maybe Dream Six can go further.

  Daily Image said: The Chinese team brought down the basketball dynasty established by the United States since 1988, and they also ended the American “Dream Series”.

  It is undeniable that although the strength is far from the original “Dream One” team, the personal abilities of the US team members are still higher than those of their opponents.

  Everyone knows that basketball is a collective sport, but the experienced “Dream Six” coach Larry Brown didn’t know it!

  As the head coach, he cannot integrate the team, all players are fighting in their own right. The overall coordination of the US team is far from that of the Chinese team. To be precise, it is not on the same level at all.

  Larry Brown’s miserable experience in the face of such a huge failure, everything is reasonable, and the only thing he can complain about is himself!

   and CBS Sports Network is even more ruthless: the Chinese team is better than us? Yes, Lithuania is better than us? Yes, but Greece and Puerto Rico are better than us? !

  According to the state before the start of the Olympics and his embarrassing performance in the group stage, he should have left long ago!

  Good guy, watching the national media here frantically whip the body of Larry Brown, Wade is really cool!

  He didn’t want to go to the United States for the Olympics this year.

  As an American, you can’t cheer for the Chinese team in the Olympics, right?

  At that time, the Chinese team and the US team will meet in the final, which is so embarrassing.

  Don’t worry about it now.

  Larry Brown is gone, the US team is eliminated, he can happily take his wife and children to Greece to cheer for Chen Xiao and Yao Ming Wang Zhizhi.

  In Cleveland, thousands of miles away, Jen also had the same idea as Wade at this time.

  The US team is still in the Olympics. He really can’t go to Greece. Now there’s really no problem.

   However, compared with Wade, there is another point in Xiao Zhan’s heart that is different from Wade.

  It’s great to be able to escape the big hole of Team Dream Six this time.

  Now while Xiao Zhan is really fortunate, he also hates the hook that forced him to participate in the Olympics at the last moment.

  This is not the first time the hook has forced him.

In fact, every time he said in an interview: “I will never leave Cleveland. There is no other team that suits me better than this team. I love the fans here, I love the teammates here, and I love it here. Everything. I will bring a championship to Cleveland. I will never leave!”

  Hook someone will come out to warn him, how can Xiao Zhan’s IQ not be able to see that the hook looks down on his hometown of Cleveland?

  Hook must be always ready to ask him to leave Cleveland.

  Seriously, for Xiao Zhan, who is now full of moonlight, this is annoying.

  And the hook has been asking him to do various commercial promotion last season, hindering his normal basketball training, this is one of the main reasons why the Cavaliers were eliminated.

  Seriously, Xiao Zhan has already had a big opinion on hooks.

  Although the hook gave him a lot of money, but now he is increasingly discovering that the value of the hook and the value he pursues are becoming more and more contrary.

   “LeBron, Nike hopes you can attend a fan event in Los Angeles tomorrow.”

  ”Don’t go!”

  ”…”

  Xiao Zhan’s agent Goodwin looked embarrassed. He has been very embarrassed recently. Although the United States is cutting Larry Brown, it seems to have nothing to do with him, but…

  He and Xiao Zhan’s mother both supported Xiao Zhan to participate in this year’s Olympics.

  He and Xiao Zhan’s mother both support Xiao Zhan’s plan to cooperate with Nike to build Xiao Zhan.

  Nike has too much influence in the American sports world.

  As long as Xiao Zhan is obedient, let’s just say it, there is no crown to super Kobe, one crown to super Jordan, there is no problem.

   But now, Larry Brown is playing like this with the Dream Six team, which makes everyone very embarrassed.

  It’s not just hook embarrassment, he and Xiao Zhan’s mother are also embarrassed.

  They are keen to make decisions for Xiao Zhan.

  They hope to plan everything for Xiao Zhan.

  But in the end, what they planned was not as good as Xiao Zhan’s seemingly ‘willful’ decision.

  Larry Brown came out with the humiliation of Dream Six in Greece, which made Xiao Zhan’s mother a lot more honest recently.

   “LeBron, we still have a long contract with Nike. I hope we still don’t make the relationship with them too rigid.”

  Goodwin knew that Xiao Zhan was full of grievances about the hook, and it was definitely not enough, so he could only persuade him a little.

  He believes in James’ IQ.

   “I know, but I won’t have time for the next week. I am going to Greece to watch the Olympics.”

  ”…”

  Goodwin is speechless again, is Wonder Boy so important to you?

  He was afraid to say such a thing.

   but said quietly: “LeBron, I know that Chen advised you not to participate in the Olympics, but if you participate in the Olympics, the Dream Six team may not be the result.”

What this said, Chen Xiao seems to have deliberately prevented James from playing for the country for the Chinese team. In Goodwin’s words, Chen Xiao is a sinister villain, although Goodwin said nothing, but As long as Xiao Zhan is willing to accept this sentence, then Xiao Zhan will definitely be very wary of Chen Xiao.

  It’s just obvious, how could Xiao Zhan believe it!

  He doesn’t believe that he can save the Dream Six’s dream.

  This time Larry Brown brought the Dream Six team to the bottom of Athens. The biggest problem was shooting.

  Three-point shooting rate, Meng Liu did not make any one of the top 10. Playing the Chinese team in the quarter-finals, I thought that after Meng Liu’s magical three-point performance against Angola, they would have a certain improvement in their long-range shooting confidence, but it turned out that the last match of the team against Uncle Hei was just a dream. Six Yuantou’s “return to light” is nothing more than that.

  They were beaten back to their original form in the game against the Chinese team. They made 3 of 11 3-pointers, while the Chinese team made 15 of 30 shots, with a 50% shooting rate. Xiao Chen did an 8 of 15 by himself.

To make matters worse, Dream Six is ​​not only unable to shoot long distances, but NBA stars should be very good in CIC. The two-point shooting rate of the entire Olympic Games, Dream Six except for one Duncan ranked the 12th team player with 63.79%. Four, no other players ranked in the top ten.

  The Chinese team has Yao Ming, Chen Xiao, and Wang Zhizhi in the top ten in the field goal percentage, ranking first, fifth, and ten respectively.

   By the way, by the way, Yao Ming shot 78.5% of his field goals in the 2002 World Championships, which was shocked by the Americans as “magic”.

  Historically, Yao Ming’s shooting percentage at the 2002 World Championships was 75.3%.

  With Chen Xiao, Yao Ming’s offensive opportunities have improved a lot, and finally someone passed him a comfortable ball. Can he not be good?

  So, after playing the American Dream Team, Chen Xiao and Yao Ming’s “Xiao Ming combination” has been called the strongest duo in the history of international basketball by professionals in the international basketball world.

  The media in the United States can only bite the nose to recognize the touts of Chen Xiao and Yao Ming in the international basketball circle.

  No way, the two combined to score 75 points against the Dream Six team, which is 1 point less than the 76 points of the Dream Six team.

   “Little Zhan, the combination of Da Yao and I is invincible in the Olympics. At least, Larry Brown can’t beat us.”

  Recalling what Chen Xiao said to him, now look again, Xiao Chen did not lie to him, the combination of Xiao Chen and Yao Ming is indeed invincible in the international arena.

   So, Goodwin’s words will not let James shake in the slightest.

   “I see. I will remember my relationship with Nike. However, my schedule will not change. I will go to Greece tonight.”

  ”…”

  Goodwin felt so tired.

  He can finally understand Gloria’s feelings now. Since LeBron met Wonder Boy, everything seems to be different.

  The tired Goodwin left, but he did not notice the cold eyes of Xiao Zhan behind him.

   Hum, provoke divorce?

  I will write it down first.

   Xiao Zhan’s revenge is not as fast as Xiao Chen’s overnight. Xiao Zhan’s revenge has always been a small book first.

  Naturally, Chen Xiao does not know what is happening in the United States.

  However, on the second night after the Chinese team defeated the US team, Chen Xiao met three of his good friends in Greece.

  Xiao Zhan, Xiao Tai, Xiao Pao, good guys, all three of them are here.

  ”Chen, when I came, Michael asked me to bring you a sentence: ‘I’m very happy, the dream team era I started was finally ended by you. This is the best destiny for the dream team.’.”

  After hearing what Xiao Pao brought to Uncle Qiao, Chen Xiao was also surprised.

  While surprised, Chen Xiao was also quite moved.

  Look at what is open-minded, this is open-minded!

  What is the unselfish love of seniors for juniors? This is it!

  ”I always think that Michael and Kevin are the two most gentlemen in the NBA.”

  Of course Michael is Jordan.

  And Kevin, of course, is a well-known NBA confidant big brother Garnett for rookies.

  It’s just that, after Chen Xiao’s sigh, whether it is Xiao Zhan, Wade or Paul at this time, there is a moment of silence.

   “Am I wrong?”

  ”…”

  No, what you said is very, very wrong!

  Of course, it’s okay to complain in your heart, don’t say it if you don’t.

   Chen Xiao is still very happy to see his three good friends before the Olympic semifinals between the Chinese team and the Italian team on August 27.

   By the way, after defeating the American Dream Team to enter the semi-finals, the Chinese team became the biggest favorite to win the Olympic men’s basketball game.

  The teams that entered the semi-finals, the Chinese team, Spain, Italy, Argentina, are all teams in Group A, and the Chinese team is the first team to win the Group A victory.

   Coupled with the reputation of just beating the American Dream Team, at this time, if the Chinese team is not rated as the biggest favorite to win the championship, it is a bit unreasonable.

   But in fact, facing the semi-final opponent Italy, the Chinese team is very serious.

  Not at all because of beating the US team.

  For the Chinese team, Italy may be the most difficult team to play in this Olympics.

  At the beginning of the group stage, the two teams were evenly matched.

  Italian style is very against the Chinese team.

  Quick, very fast.

  Accurate, very accurate.

   And the defense is very disciplined.

  In history, in the 2004 Olympic Games, Argentina was the only strong, and the second strongest was Italy.

  In history, Italy defeated Lithuania, the number one in Group B, to enter the final.

  In history, Italy defeated Lao Yin B Argentina in the group stage.

  Don’t look at the Chinese team that has suddenly become the world’s biggest popular team, but this game against Italy is really not an easy game.

  At 8 o’clock in the evening on August 27, 2004, Athens time, the Chinese team had just played against the American team 19 hours ago. Now, after a break of less than 24 hours, there is a battle against Italy.

  I have to say that the 2004 Olympic Games men’s basketball game was really ridiculous. Group matches are played every two days and knockout matches are played every day.

  The Chinese team played the latest yesterday, but they played the earliest today. This schedule is indeed very unfavorable.

   However, for the players of the Chinese team, such a devilish schedule is not important, and a strong opponent is not so important.

  After the elimination of the US team, the eyes of the Chinese team players have only left the Olympic gold medals!

  ”If such a good opportunity fails to win the Olympic championship, we will regret it for a lifetime, and Chinese basketball will regret it for a hundred years!”

  This is Chen Xiao’s words to his teammates before the start of the game.

  Now Chen Xiao has become the de facto leader of the Chinese team, although the captain of the Chinese team is Yao Ming.

  ”Will we make Chinese basketball regret 100 years?!”

“Will not!”

  Inspired by Chen Xiao, the Chinese players’ desire for this game has reached the extreme.

  Halinnik Olympic Sports Center, the starting players of the Chinese and Italian teams have appeared on the court after warming up.

  The starting players of the Chinese team in this game are center Yao Ming, power forward Chen Xiao, small forward Zhu Fangyu, shooting guard Li Nan, and point guard Liu Wei.

  ”The starting lineup of the Chinese team in this game has changed again. Chen Xiao appeared at the power forward position, and Liu Wei was the starting lineup!”

  ”This is the first time that Chen Xiao has made a power forward in a World Series, and this is also the first time that Liu Wei has made a start in the Olympic Games!”

Seeing the starting lineup of the Chinese team in this game, Mr. Zhang was very excited and disturbed. This is the secret weapon of the Chinese team. Don’t worry about Chen Xiao playing the power forward. The key is that Liu Wei plays the point guard. Now, can you face the Italian press?

  Liu Wei, he has followed Chen Xiao to study the ball in the past two years. He has proven in CBA and Asian competitions. He has made rapid progress. However, can it be used in international competitions and world competitions?

  Furthermore, can his psychological quality be used?

  Seriously, if it is a person who has passed from 10 years later to 2004, he will definitely not doubt Wei Ge’s psychological quality.

  Ge Wei is definitely one of the defenders with the best psychological quality in the history of Chinese basketball. He may not be ranked in strength, but the psychological quality is not much better than him.

  So, Liu Wei, who became the starter in this game and became the focus of the audience and the whole world, is now in a nervous mood and at the same time excited.

  The game began, Yao Ming jumped the ball and defeated Italy’s 2.11 meters center Macnato

  The starting players of Italy in this game are Macnato, Garanda, Richti, Blairy and Pozeco.

  After Yao Ming succeeded in jumping the ball, all China’s eyes turned to Liu Wei, who was pressed by the 1.98-meter defender Richteri at halftime.

  ”Can Liu Wei stabilize his possession in the pressing of the Italian defender?!”

  It is not only the Chinese audience who is nervous, but the Italian coach Carlos is also nervous.

   Soon, everyone can relax. Faced with Richti’s pressing, Liu Wei made a very unpretentious turn to break through Richti’s pressing with ease.

   “I won’t let Teacher Xiao Chen down!”

   Liu Wei, who had passed Richteri, gritted his teeth in his heart.

  Now his strength faces the full-court pressing of the US team, I don’t know what will happen, but facing the pressing of Asian and even European defenders, he will definitely not panic anymore!

   “Liu Wei’s escape is very cool and handsome!”

Such a simple and unpretentious turn around to get rid of, at this time in the mouth of Teacher Zhang, it is chic and handsome, gorgeous, I can only say that everyone’s expectations of Liu Wei are too low, and this time Liu Wei’s performance is too surprising. .

   Liu Wei’s current ball-handling skills are of course stronger than in history. Against the technical flow of European players instead of talent flow, Liu Wei’s ball-handling skills are qualified.

  But, the ball is controlled by Chen Xiao to the integration grid, but the organization…

   Then don’t expect too much.

  So, seeing Liu Wei’s beautiful pass after getting rid of it, Teacher Zhang next to him was dumbfounded.

   “Liu Wei’s pass is very unreasonable, Chen Xiao did not get rid of the defense!”

  The transmission is too anxious, and the mistake will be interrupted!

And just as Teacher Zhang yelled, when the Chinese audience in front of the TV wanted to take back what they had just praised Liu Wei, Chen Xiao, who was stuck in the Italian player at the free throw line, jumped high and grabbed Liu Wei’s high from behind. Swift passing.

   Then, Chen Xiao made a light mid-range back jumper against the Italian player’s defense and hit the basketball in his hand to the basket with a shooting posture. Yao Ming turned to the opposing Macnato and turned to slam dunk.

  2 to 0!

  An original mistake was turned into a very beautiful internal biography by Chen Xiao? !

  The Chinese audience in front of the TV was taken aback and cheered.

  And Xiao Zhan in the stands is constantly smiling and nodding.

   Peerless pot, who knows who uses it!

  The defender of the Chinese team has good ball-handling skills and some lack of skill in passing. However, with Xiao Chen, a peerless player, passing does not need to be so good.

  Being able to meet Xiao Chen, a teammate, this Chinese defender is really happy and can cover up his shortcomings.

Brother Wei is indeed happy.

  Because he slipped a bit when he passed the ball to Chen Xiao…

   However, Chen Xiao can receive passes like this. This makes him wonder what to say.

   “As long as you can hit the ball into Chen Xiao’s hands, Italy is in danger!”

  The two insides of the Chinese team, one mile and one outside, how can Italy defend?

  The last time he fought Italy, Yao Ming was almost collapsed by Italy’s encirclement and suppression. Now, does Italy dare to encircle and suppress Yao Ming?

  If Yao Ming is not encircled and suppressed, the 2m11 inside line in Italy will not be able to prevent Yao Ming.

  So, in the first attack of the Chinese team, many experts on the scene have already sentenced Italy to death.

  The process and results of the game are indeed like this.

  In the first quarter, under the leadership of Chen Xiao, the Chinese team first entered the state. Yao Ming, Chen Xiao and Yao Ming scored successively. The Chinese team took a 6-2 lead as soon as they came up.

  The inside combination of Chen Xiao and Yao Ming completely suppressed Italy.

  But the Italian team is not a weak group that collapsed after a single fight, and quickly used a three-pointer to counterattack.

  They made 3 of 6 three-pointers in the first quarter, which can only be regarded as their normal level.

  The Chinese team made 0 of 2 three-pointers in the first quarter. Well, Chen Xiao did not pull out to shoot three-pointers. In order to cooperate with Yao, Chen Xiao has been active in the middle distance in the first quarter of this game.

However, although Italy made a very good three-pointer in the first quarter, but in the three-point line, I’m sorry. The inside partner of the Chinese team Yao Ming and Chen Xiao, in the three-point line, it is really doing whatever they want. Not kidding.

  The inside combination of Chen Xiao and Yao Ming in the first quarter only allowed Italy to make a two-pointer.

  At the end of the first quarter, Chen Xiao hit two points in the free throw line area. The Chinese team ended the first quarter 23-16.

  In this section, the changing Chinese team also changed the difficulty of playing Italy in the group stage, and it was almost out of breath to play Italy.

  The two best Chinese players in the first quarter, Yao Ming contributed 10 points this quarter, Chen Xiao scored 8 points, but Chen Xiao had 4 assists in addition to 8 points.

  It can be said that the combination of Chen Xiao and Yao Ming almost destroyed Italy.

  Furthermore, to be honest, the first quarter of the game between China and Italy caused much more shock than the score of 23-16.

  Because of the combination of Chen Xiao and Yao Ming, it feels incredible.

  ”Is this what Xiao Chen said is the strongest combination of FIBA?”

  Zhan on the sidelines can really understand now.

   Chen Xiao and Yao Ming’s combination of inside and outside is already so powerful.

  Now, the two turn around and become a double inside combination. How does this make the opponent defend?

  Italy defended Chen Xiao and Yao Ming’s combination of inside and outside defending very well in the group stage.

   But facing the double inside combination of Chen Xiao and Yao Ming, it finally collapsed.

  And Italy is already a very strong team!

Therefore, watching the appearance of Italy shivering under the Chinese team led by Chen Xiao and Yao Ming in this game, whether it is the audience or the audience in front of the TV, at this time, I feel that the recent FIBA ​​touted Chen Xiao and Yao Ming are the strongest combination in the history of international basketball, and it seems that there is really no problem.

  Even Carlos, the opponent of the Chinese team at this time, thinks so.

  ”Is this the strongest combination in history under the rules of international basketball? It deserves its name!”

  Carlo sighed.

  The double inside combination of Chen Xiao and Yao Ming in this game, whether it is offensive or defensive, is perfect.

  ”They ended the era of the dream team, and at the same time they will open a new era belonging to the Chinese team!”

  89 to 69!

  When the game was over, Italian coach Carlo Carlo seriously looked at Chen Xiao and Yao Ming who held their hands high on the court to celebrate the first time the Chinese team reached the Olympic final, thinking seriously in his heart.

  This Chinese team really made him see signs of invincibility.

  August 27th, Greece time, and August 28th, Beijing time. This day is definitely a day worth remembering for Chinese basketball.

  In the semifinals of the men’s basketball team at the Athens Olympics, the Chinese team defeated the Italian team 89-69, making it the first time in history to reach the final of the Olympic basketball game.

  Chen Xiao, the top hero of the Chinese team in this game, played the first Olympic triple-double of his career today, with 25 points and 11 rebounds and 111 assists, while Yao Ming and Liu Wei contributed 27 points and 6 assists respectively.

  In Italy, Soragna and Pozeco scored 12 points each, Lombardoni scored 10 points, Basler made 3 of 8 three-pointers today, and finally scored 9 points.

  The most scoring players on the Italian side are almost all substitutes, which shows how miserable the Italian starter was defended by the Chinese team in this game.

  At the end of the fourth quarter, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com under the terrorist line of defense woven by the Chinese team Chen Xiao and Yao Ming, the Italian team’s offensive organization was chaotic, and the players had no fighting spirit, almost completely collapsed.

   “It’s really a shocking game.”

  In this game, I watched the Chinese team and Italy match James, Anthony, Wade and Chris Paul. At this time, I was really shocked.

  Yao Ming and Chen Xiao’s match really gave them the meaning of peak Duncan + peak admiral.

  The point is that the general of the pinnacle has never encountered the pinnacle Duncan.

  More importantly, this combination of Peak Duncan + Peak Admiral may become a combination of Peak Jordan + Peak Olajuwon at any time.

  Who can stand this? !

  ”You said, can we beat them on behalf of the American team in the future?”

   After Chris Paul asked, the three young NBA stars next to him were silent for a while…

  When looking at Chen Xiao and Yao Ming, they actually hesitated to lead the US team to defeat them and regain the crown!
