The Strongest Bishop in the NBA

Although the knockout round has not yet officially started, this kind of schedule has already made many people speculate about the final.

Not surprisingly, the final matchup of the Olympic Games will probably be the pinnacle matchup between the American men's basketball team and the Chinese men's basketball team.

Although they lost to the Huaxia Men's Basketball Team in the group stage, many people are still more optimistic about the US team. After all, the dream team's reputation is not covered. People tend to think that the US team lost to the China Men's Basketball Team in the group stage. Because if these stars are serious, they won't have any opponents at all.

It should be like this, but there is a variable in it.

That is Hao Peng.

Inside the Huaxia men's basketball team, many people were surprised to find that after a few rounds of competition, Hao Peng seemed to have become stronger!

Hao Peng, who had only played in the NCAA and Asian championships before, participated in the world's top tournaments for the first time, and also met the world's top teams such as the US team for the first time.

In the fight against these strong teams, Hao Peng can almost say that every game has new experience and growth.

Wang Xiao said before that Hao Peng's growth template card has not fully exerted its full effect, but on the stage of the Olympic Games, his potential is being tapped and strengthened at an extremely fast speed all the time!

After the group stage, if there is a clear horizontal comparison, everyone may be shocked to find that Hao Peng has become stronger both offensively and defensively compared to before participating in the Olympics!

No one in the entire US team can stop him, not even Dunn who used Mutombo's growth template card.

Even Mutombo himself did not have the upper hand when facing David Robinson himself. David Robinson won 29 of the 39 duels in their careers, and the average data per game also maintained 20+10 standard level.

Now that Hao Peng has grown further, while Dunn's level has already stagnated, the level of the two is not at the same level at all, not to mention that Hao Peng has a top point guard Jeremy Lin, which can further inspire Hao Peng. Peng's lethality.

Moreover, there are still two games before the final, and these two games are tough battles without exception. Wang Xiao believes that Hao Peng can further degenerate and become stronger in these two games!

...

Lithuania, the opponent of China Men's Basketball Team in the quarter-finals, has only two NBA players. They are Toronto Raptors' starting center Valenciunas. Playing 25.8 minutes, he can contribute 12 points and 9.5 rebounds. The efficiency is not bad, and he can be regarded as a good role player.

As for another NBA player, he just participated in the NBA draft and was selected by the Magic with the 11th pick in the first round. Center Domantas Sabonis. I have a little impression that this is a relatively potential insider, and he will play well in the Pacers in the future.

Of course, it's just not bad at all.

Binding the two centers Sabonis and Valenciunas together is unlikely to be Hao Peng's opponent.

...

On August 17, the match between China Men's Basketball Team and Lithuania was the first matchup in the quarter-finals.

The starting lineup arranged by Wang Xiao is the same as before. It is still his starting lineup of Jeremy Lin, Cheng Jie, Wang Meng, Yi Jianlian and Hao Peng.

In Lithuania, two NBA players, Sabonis and Valenciunas, all started. One of these two big men over 2.11 meters tall served as a center and the other served as a power forward.

Obviously, such an arrangement is that Lithuania's head coach wants to use two big centers to contain Hao Peng's performance, but this is obviously impossible.

What can Lithuania do that the American men's basketball team can't do?

Although Valenciunas, who was defending Hao Peng, tried his best to stop Hao Peng, but with little effect.

In the first quarter of the game, Hao Peng took 4 shots under the basket, hit 3 goals, made 4 of 4 free throws, scored 10 points, 5 rebounds and 2 blocks, completely blowing out Valenciunas who was facing him.

But Hao Peng is not the key.

In the first quarter of the game, the Huaxia Men's Basketball team made 6 three-pointers, of which Jeremy Lin made 2 goals, Wang Meng made 1 goal, and Cheng Jie took all the remaining 3 goals.

Efficient three-point shooting allowed the Huaxia Men's Basketball team to score 34 points in the first quarter.

On the other hand, Lithuania couldn't defend itself, but it couldn't break through the opponent's defense.

Jeremy Lin, Wang Meng, and Cheng Jie formed an outside line that can be called an iron lock Hengjiang. Even the top players in the NBA have to weigh it, not to mention Lithuania's not strong outside line?

Not to mention that there is a monster like Hao Peng inside the Huaxia men's basketball team. Any outside player who dares to break into the inside will have to pass him.

From the beginning of the Olympic Games to the knockout rounds, Hao Peng averaged 4.2 blocks per game. He is currently the block leader in the Olympic Games and has more blocks than Dunn.

The Huaxia men's basketball team scored 34 points in the first quarter, while Lithuania only scored 17 points under the iron-walled defense of the China men's basketball team inside and outside.

In the second quarter, the situation did not improve at all. Lithuania could only take advantage of the Huaxia men's basketball lineup rotation and replace Zhou Qi and other substitute players to seize the time to chase some points.

At the end of the second quarter, the scores of the two teams at halftime were 56:33, and the Huaxia men's basketball team led by 23 points. If Wang Xiao hadn't replaced Jeremy Lin, Hao Peng and others in the second half of the second quarter, the point difference might have It will be even bigger.

After the start of the second half, the Huaxia men's basketball team briefly replaced the full bench lineup. Jeremy Lin, Hao Peng, Chengjie, Wang Meng and others all rested off the court.

This lineup is a bit like the tactical system of the Huaxia men's basketball team when they competed in the Rio Olympics in another time and space.

This tactical system is obviously unreasonable and unscientific. Even if this space-time Yi Jianlian is much stronger than himself at the same time because of Wang Xiao's relationship, and other players in the Huaxia Men's Basketball Team have also improved, but the situation on the court is still the same. The reversal happens immediately.

Lithuania, which was overwhelmed by the Chinese men's basketball team in the first half, actually started to fight back. In 5 minutes, Lithuania chased 10 points in a row and brought the point difference back to within 20 points.

But that's all, as Wang Xiao calmly put the main force back on the field, the situation was immediately brought under control.

In the next 5 minutes, the Huaxia men's basketball team expanded the point difference to more than 20 points, and entered the fourth quarter with a point difference of 20 points.

As for the result of the fourth game, there was naturally no suspense.

Throughout the entire game, Lithuania failed to make any waves, and several attempts to organize an effective counterattack were blocked by Hao Penglin and Jeremy Lin.

In the end, when the whistle sounded for the end of the game, the score of the two teams was fixed at 81:64. The Huaxia men's basketball team easily defeated Lithuania by 17 points and entered the semi-finals!
