On August 20, 2008, imperial capital time, as of that day, taekwondo star Wu Jingyu happened to win the 45th gold medal for the Celestial Empire sports delegation. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Because the men's football team lost all three games in the group stage and was eliminated early, most sports fans in the Celestial Empire focused their attention on the more competitive men's basketball team.

When the day of the knockout rounds on August 20 was over, a miraculous result was discovered.

The four teams that qualified for Group A: Lithuania, Argentina, Croatia, and Australia were all eliminated in one day.

In other words, the top four of the Olympics were swept by the top four of Group B!

The semi-final bracket also appeared:

Upper Half:

Celestial Empire VS Greece

Lower Half:

United States VS Spain

This result also completely confirmed the statement of the group of death in Group B, and Group A does not seem to be as competitive as Group B that has fought all the way.

Of course, objectively speaking, luck is also on the side of Group B. If it weren't for the sudden rise of the Celestial Empire men's basketball team and disrupted the original ranking, then the Lithuanian men's basketball team, as the first in Group A, should still be very sure of defeating the fourth place in Group B.

It's a pity that the Lithuanian team encountered a Greek team that deliberately saved its strength in the last few games of the group stage, and the Lithuanians themselves were careless.

The Argentine men's basketball team, which is second in Group A, is also not at a low level, if it were not for the Spanish team that was squeezed to the third place in the group, they may not have a chance to enter the semifinals.

The coach of the men's basketball team of the Celestial Empire, Younas, was also somewhat surprised after learning the results of the game.

To be honest, he was ready to face off against his homeland, but he didn't expect that in the end, it was the Greek men's basketball team that killed Lithuania and reached the semifinals.

In other words, after just four days, the Celestial Empire men's basketball team will play against the Greek team for the second time.

This match will also determine the final qualification, and the loser can only compete with the loser of the other semi-final for a bronze medal.

Ruan Erniu called his teammates together and said: "The Greek men's basketball team in the group stage and the Greek men's basketball team in the knockout round are not the same team, everyone should be mentally prepared." ”

Yao Ming also added on the side: "Think about the scene where we were beaten by the opponent in the first quarter of the group stage. In the second half, they were playing with us, so they didn't represent the true level of the Greek men's basketball team at all. ”

Younas continued: "It's not so easy to deliberately lose to us and fight for the highest honors. I know the Lithuanian team, it's definitely not a weak team, and the fact that the Greeks were able to beat their opponents shows how strong they are. ”

Ruan Erniu smiled and said on the side: "Sir, don't worry, we will avenge your motherland!"

Younas pushed Ruan Erniu and said to everyone: "Come less, the game is the game, don't get involved in those messy things." Now we're thinking about how to defeat our opponents. Kraft, how about you go play the number one again?"

Younas proposed a specific battle plan, Ruan Erniu didn't smile anymore, he said seriously: "Yes, I personally have no problem." Da Liu, I'm sorry, I'm going to grab your starting position. ”

Liu Wei waved his hand and said: "It's all for the team, I personally don't have any opinions." ”

Da Liu is not the first day to enter the national team, he and Da Yao have grown up together, and as young people come out, he doesn't know if he has a chance to participate in the next Olympics.

Compared with the false name of a main position and the real honor, which is more important, as a Modu person, Liu Wei can calculate this account clearly in his heart.

The next day, August 21, the semifinals of the women's basketball team officially began.

Ruan Erniu, who had no game tasks that day, as a leader, also came to watch the game with the team leaders.

The result was that the Celestial Empire women's basketball team lost to the Australian women's basketball team with a score of 56:90.

Ruan Erniu looked at Lauren Jackson who was covering the sky on the court, and he couldn't help but feel the urge to text Da Yao: "Da Yao, for the future of the Celestial Empire men's basketball team, sometimes ONE-NIGHT-IN-BEI-JING may also be a good choice." ”

Erniu also understands that feelings are always a matter of two people, so some things have to be let float in the air.

After the Celestial Empire women's basketball team lost to the Australian women's basketball team, there was only one chance left to compete for the bronze medal with the woolly bear women's basketball team.

The time comes to August 22, at 20:00, the Celestial Empire men's basketball team VS the Greek men's basketball team, and they will be the first to decide the first team to participate in the finals.

Before the game, each side gave their respective starting lists:

Celestial Empire Men's Basketball Team:

C Yao Ming

PF Yijianlian

SF Zhu Fangyu

SG Sun Yue

PG Nguyen Er Niu

Greece Men's Basketball:

C Brossies

PF Fortesis

S.F. Vasilopoulos

SG Diamantidis

PG Papalukas

As the referee tosses the basketball in the air, the game officially begins.

Da Yao won the jump ball, and Ruan Erniu got the basketball in the backcourt.

Papalukas pounced on the first time and, as always, defended aggressively.

Ruan Erniu stabilized the ball while opening the way with his hips, all the way through the half.

It will be Papalucas' turn to be depressed, and he usually uses this trick to get players who are shorter than himself.

came out to mix it up and really wanted to pay it back, and now it's his turn to be topped.

Da Yao was about to get to the position on the inside, and Erniu suddenly jumped up and passed the ball to Da Yao.

On the commentary seat of today's imperial court stage, it is a double-level combination composed of Sun Zhenping and Zhang Lili.

Zhang Reasonable said: "Erniu's jumping pass was originally unreasonable, but because he was tall and had an excellent arm span, he turned the unreasonable into reasonable. ”

Da Yao held the ball inside, pressed Brosis who defended him, and hit a sideways hook shot to open the scoring for the Celestial Empire men's basketball team.

Papalukas dribbled the ball across the half, and Ruan Erniu deliberately gave him a chance to shoot outside.

The former king of Europe was known for his assists and defense, and his shooting ability was never top-notch.

Erniu's strategy worked, Papalukas had space to shoot and didn't shoot, but passed the ball to Diamantidis, who ran from the flank.

Diamantidis leaned back and made a move, Sun Yue sealed it, and missed!

Ruan Erniu turned around and grabbed the rebound in the backcourt, and directly advanced quickly with the ball.

When he was about to run to the free throw line, Erniu made a NOLOOKPASS and sent the ball to Zhu Fangyu, Zhu Fangyu shot in the empty position and hit!

Papalukas drove the ball forward, and Brosis stepped up to block and pick-and-roll.

After the switch, Papalukas used his feet to get past Yao Ming, and just when he thought he could score an easy layup, Sun Yue came out from the diagonal side and slapped the ball to the rebound.

Zhu Fangyu got the rebound and immediately passed it to Erniu.

Ruan Erniu held the ball and attacked quickly, and in the process, easily squeezed through Diamantidis's defense, and scored with a tomahawk split.

After Ruan Erniu scored, he didn't forget to perform, and made a gesture to show his biceps in front of the camera before returning to the half-court defense.

The fans cheered en masse, they had been longing for such a hero for too long.

The men's basketball game is no longer a dull offense and defense, and with a highly ornamental performer like Ruan Erniu, the excitement of the game has risen to more than a notch.

And the Greek men's basketball team seems to have been injured in the matchup with the Lithuanian men's basketball team the day before yesterday.

After the opening, the Celestial Empire men's basketball team suppressed the opponent.
