Chapter 696 [Contest Winner]
Wang Zhizhi took a break and basically completed his task. Yao Ming will play more in this game, and in order to stabilize the defense, it is impossible for him to play with Yao Ming, and he will not play too much time this time.
The United States also brought on Kobe Bryant to replace Iguodala. Looking at the single defense ability, the first brother may be better now, but Lao K wants Kobe's veteran experience more to control the pace of the game.
Point guard Paul is also back on the court. Deron Williams didn't get a chance to play. After joining the Nets, his state has dropped very much, and if Rose can play, it is estimated that he will have nothing to do this time.
Anthony and Love continue to play inside, and their attacking ability is very strong and they don't need to be replaced.
And the Chinese team has no scorers to change, so it depends on Zhou Xuan and Yao Ming to fight.
After the start, the Chinese team was dumb again. Sun Yue's two consecutive three-point shots were missed, and the rebounds were controlled by the United States team to fight back, Yao Ming couldn't defend himself, and the star's one-on-one singles were very efficient, and the point difference widened again.
If you want to win against the U.S. team, you have to do every detail well, and you can't just play casually, both offensively and defensively. But there are so few Chinese role players to play and too many holes on the defensive end.
In the Slam Dunk comics, the Xiangbei team defeated Sanno Industry by relying on the play of five people, which made a group of comic fans enthusiastic. But that's actually based on the cancer of the mountain king Youzebei. He wandered outside the tactical system, and unlimited singles disrupted the rhythm of the whole team. In reality, as long as the U.S. team is not a player who plays continuously throughout the game, the Chinese team, which relies on three and a half stars, cannot beat the United States. Sun Yue can only be counted as half, and he is lost on the offensive end.
Relying on the blocking and dismantling cooperation of Yi Jianlian and Zhou Xuan, China barely bit the score. 49-55 trailed by six points.
In the third quarter, Yao Ming was powerful again, the point difference was always within 10 points, China couldn't catch up, James and Durant were too difficult to defend, and Paul also played well in the fast break. Inside Love hit a three-pointer and did a good job of controlling the rebounds in the backcourt.
The United States was extremely tight on Zhou Xuan, almost not giving him room to shoot in the second half, catching the ball and putting others on the outside to shoot. Even so, Zhou Xuan still relied on counterattacks to score 6 points, and he was very resolute in his singles.
In the fourth quarter, Zhou Xuan broke through to make a foul and hit a three-point shot after running back to block and dismantle, narrowing the difference to 6 points. After that, the situation changed abruptly, and James and Durant made Yao Ming fouls in a row, causing Yao Ming to commit four fouls and was forced to leave the game.
The inside line of the Chinese team immediately couldn't stand it. Wang Zhizhi couldn't stop the opponent from scoring inside under the basket, Chandler and Love grabbed the rebounds in the front court in a row, and the second offense was successful, and James also broke into the inside line to score 2+1. The Chinese team topped for more than three quarters and then collapsed in less than three minutes.
In order to strengthen the defense, the Chinese team replaced Yao Ming. With 3 minutes and 14 seconds left, Westbrook broke through his fifth foul and was sent off for defense, and the Chinese team was gone.
Zhou Xuan played to the last minute, scoring a game-high 34 points, 2 rebounds, 8 assists and 2 steals, and the Chinese team lost by 16 points 88-104.
In the 2008 Beijing Olympics, the Chinese men's basketball team lost 101-132 by 31 points, creating the lowest point difference between the two sides.
The best performance in the United States was Durant, who scored 32 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists, and his frequent fouls were also a big reason why the Chinese team couldn't stand it, James had 24 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists. Love had 12 points and 15 rebounds.
Yu Jia said with some regret: "China broke the record and won a silver medal, although they didn't have the last laugh, but it can be seen that they have done their best." Especially Yao Ming and Zhou Xuan, who played the role of the core of the internal and external lines. ”
Zhang said: "The performance of China's bench is generally the main reason for the loss, especially for the defense of the United States' outside line, Dazhi moved too slowly, and Zhang Zhaoxu almost never played. At this time, I don't know if the coaching staff will regret not using Ding Jinhui, I think he should try it, at least his athleticism is better. ”
The Olympic men's basketball medal ceremony was held, with the powerful U.S. basketball team winning the gold medal, the Chinese team winning the silver medal and the Russian team winning the bronze medal.
In the battle for third and fourth places, Russia continued to be the Spanish nemesis, narrowly winning by 6 points. With a bronze medal, they also achieved a breakthrough.
The Chinese players were very satisfied, and everyone, including Zhou Xuan, was smiling. Zhou Xuan felt that this step was the limit. He proved his quality and was able to take home a medal as a memorial.
As for the future, there is no chance of winning gold? As soon as the competition ended, a Chinese special reporter asked this question. Zhou Xuan said very vaguely, only saying that he would work hard. In fact, he knows very well that there is no drama at all, Yao Ming will be a veteran in four years, and it is unknown whether he will participate in the competition.
Without Yao Ming, unless there is a strong internal successor, it will be a success for him and Yi Jianlian to bring the Chinese team to the top 8. The opponent will definitely be more unscrupulous to contain him, and who will be able to help him share the offensive pressure then?
After everyone took a group photo together, Zhou Xuan returned to the dressing room, and when he came out of the shower, he felt that his legs were a little weak. After the finals, he has been training again, and now he can finally rest.
A reporter would come in for an interview, and everyone washed up early, chatting outside and studying how to celebrate. This time their names will definitely be recorded in history, which is a rare honor.
Sun Yue asked, "Zhou Xuan, do you have any good suggestions for playing?" Are you familiar with Europe? ”
"I come to Europe to see the scenery, accompany my girlfriend, and where is the right place for a group party, I really don't know, it's better for the leader to decide."
There must be people spending money on this kind of activity, and it is not appropriate for Zhou Xuan to make suggestions. In fact, he now wants to leave the Olympic Village and move freely. Go talk to Colo Moretz about how you feel about the game and talk to Emma Watson about your feelings.
When the time came, reporters poured into the locker room, and most of the people interviewed Zhou Xuan were from any country, and Zhou Xuan spoke Chinese and English to other reporters when answering questions from Chinese reporters, to everyone's satisfaction.
There is nothing special about my feelings, it is normal that I can't beat the United States, and I will earn it if I win. Zhou Xuan wanted to open up, and while praising his teammates, he also praised the performance of the Dream Team players. When those people were in the NBA, they all looked up and didn't look down.
A reporter asked: "Will there be some regrets about losing the gold medal this time?" You played really well, outperforming all the defenders, but your teammates didn't support you enough. ”
Zhou Xuan immediately gave a negative result. "No, I think they've done a really good job. It's just that I'm the core, I've got more opportunities, and without the three-point shooter to attract firepower, Yao Ming's dominance in the low post, we can't make it to the finals. We lost to the USA, but we played with our style and momentum and everyone did well. ”
"For me, it was an Olympic trip of a lifetime, just as exciting as winning the NBA," Yao said. By the time we got to the 2016 Olympics, I didn't know if I would be able to do it, but it was the perfect time to make a breakthrough and we took it. ”
There are also many people talking about this competition on the Internet.
Everyone felt that Zhou Xuan had the most credit, Yao Ming was second, and the others were soy sauce. This is a bit of a disadvantage for Yi Jianlian, who did not score luxury statistics, and it is a bit difficult to get a sign in the NBA.
Retired NBA stars mentioned the game, Payton said: "People used to say that Zhou Xuan was one of the best players, but now I think this one can be removed. There is no better defender than him on the international stage, and without him, China would have qualified from the group at best. ”
"Magic" Johnson said: "The Chinese team is not like the dream team, they don't have a lot of bench depth, and Zhou Xuan is amazing to be able to play this kind of result. The gap between the defenders of other countries and him is obvious. He alone can change the whole team. ”
"My role in the national team is nowhere near as obvious as he is, nor is Nash, he's got used to the style of international play in a very short period of time, and this guy is a real talent," Kidd said. ”
Barkley commented: "I think Zhou Xuan is already a better player than James, and his individual ability is very outstanding. He is also better than other players in the same position. It would be difficult for someone else to lead the Chinese team to a silver medal. Of course, if James was Chinese, I don't think he would have tried to make it to the national team, he never had the confidence to lead the underdogs, he would consider joining the American to make at least the Big Three. ”
Ba Fatzi is currently not pleasing to James, and after winning the gold medal in the Olympics, James has not escaped his big mouth ridicule.
After the game, Zhou Xuan had more fans, and the international competition was to put the national honor on his shoulders, which made the Chinese fans have a better impression of him, as long as his form does not decline, his popularity will continue for many years.
Zhou Xuan is on vacation. He went to play golf with Emma Watson and Emma's father. Zhou Xuan's golf strength is not bad, and it is also reported.
On the 15th, the European Basketball Network selected the best players, best coaches and best teams for the Olympic Games.
Zhou Xuan was named the MVP of the tournament, and won the three highest individual honors of scoring champion and assist king, and was unanimously selected into the first team of the best team.

The best scoring guard was won by Argentina's Ginobili, who averaged 19 points per game. 4 points 5. 4 rebounds 4. 1 assist.
The best center forward was won by Spanish player Pau Gasol, who averaged 19 per game. 1 point 7. 6 rebounds 2. 9 assists. His stats are better than Yao Ming's.
The United States also has two forward players selected, namely James and Durant, who are slightly inferior in stats, but they are the core of the dream team.
Best Second Team: Patrick Mills, Shevid, Carmelo Anthony, Luis Scola, Yao Ming.
Mills is the Australian core and is only a fringe man in the NBA. The Olympics may bring him a stable contract.
