Chapter 335: The Battle of the Top Eight
On a street somewhere in Athens, the capital of Greece, Rodin wandered aimlessly. Fellman stopped, first drawn in by the angry crowd and then at the large screen hanging over their heads. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
On top of that, the entire screen was Shi Lei in a red jersey, and at this time, his calm face was finally wrinkled by the smile on his face, and in stark contrast to him were the players of the Greek team, most of them lowered their heads, and the eyes occasionally captured by the camera either reflected the despair in their hearts, or shone with disbelief.
"It looks like Ishi has done something that people think is ridiculous."
Rodin smiled and looked at Shi Lei, who was smiling the same way in the picture.
At this time, Rodin forgot the desperate situation he was in, he had been away from basketball for too long, and he was still a little healthy, which made him travel most of Europe for two months, but still not appreciated by any team.
"Yes, there's nothing funny about that!"
Rodin straightened the duffel bag he was carrying on his shoulders, turned and left the crowded place, and walked towards the edge of the city.
"I just need some time, and I'm not going to give up this time, even though it's ridiculous to think I'm still old enough to develop in basketball!"
Where to go next? Rodin doesn't know, but the only thing he knows is that he will end up, and his end will be in the NBA, where he will one day be a point guard who will surprise people!
"I started my journey in France because my aunt's house was there, then I went to Spain, then I went to Germany, then I came to Greece, but I haven't gotten a chance yet, they think I'm too old and well, they won't even give me a short-term trial contract.
It was quite frustrating, and although I had prepared for it, the reality was much harder than I had imagined, and I began to feel uneasy, and I had some doubts about the correctness of my choice.
It scared me, I had no way out, but I couldn't see my future!
I thought I was lost and I didn't know where my next stop would be, so I walked a long way until I came to a street in Athens.
There, I saw Shi defeat another strong opponent, you know, they once defeated the American team, there was James, and Anthony Wade's American team!
I think it's God's guidance, and the merciful He is guiding the lost Lamb to go down the right path, so I'm on the road again. I'll travel all over Europe, even Asia, Australia....... But, I don't think I'll stop anymore!
Go forward, Rodin. Fehrman! - Rodin. Feyerman's "My Ridiculous Basketball"!
After the national team's "Group of Death" decided the final qualification position, the Group A ranking was also finalized, and European champions Lithuania, like the mighty United States, topped the group with a winning record, and their quarter-final opponent will be Spain, who are fourth in Group B.
The United States, who finished first in Group B, faced Australia, who were fourth in Group A. The second-place national team is against Croatia, and the third-place team is Greece, and their opponents are Argentina, who are in their glory days.
At 16:45 pm on August 20, domestic time, a highlight of the Olympic men's basketball quarterfinals was played at the Beijing Olympic Basketball Stadium, and the first game was between Spain and Lithuania.
After losing to the national team in an upset, although the national team was in the end in the end, and then defeated the Greek team in an upset, but in the Spanish folk, the final record of the Spanish men's basketball team is no longer optimistic, as this year's European champion, the Lithuanian team is too strong.
But Pau Gasol played his most iconic game, the man who has always been called "soft" in the NBA, telling people how terrible it will be if he decides to be tough.
In this game, Gasol played dominant, Gasol almost single-handedly helped Spain establish an advantage, and finally helped the team defeat Lithuania 91-86 to become the first team to advance to the semi-finals!
"CCTV, this is CCTV, and now I am broadcasting for you the Olympic men's basketball quarterfinals, the national team against the Croatian team, and I am the host Su Qun."
After the first match decided the qualifying team, the stadium was simply maintained, and the two sides of the match quickly became the second group of national teams and Croatia.
After breaking out of the "Group of Death" as the second place in the group stage, the national men's basketball game has become the most concerned competition in the Olympic Games, which is not only reflected in the ratings, but also the advertising cost on the spot, which has almost doubled!
"Croatia this team....... Actually, it's still very strong......"
Director Zhang actually wanted to "milk" the other party, but after saying this, even he couldn't believe it. Even he couldn't deceive himself, and the explanation was a little unsustainable, but fortunately, his partner Mr. Sun rescued him in time.
According to the habit, Mr. Sun first nodded his head: "Yes, the strength of this team is very good, in the group stage that has just ended, they eliminated the Asian champion Iran with the largest score difference of 30 points!" ”
The Asian champion sounds a bit strong, but in fact, it is because as the hosts, the national team does not have to participate in the preliminary round, which makes Iran stand out.
This horse is a little embarrassing, before the game "crazy milk" is easy to be struck, want to "milk" the opponent and really have nothing good "milk", the commentators had to intermittently make some comments on the two sides of the match, and then turned the topic to the tidbits of the field, from the number of fans watching the game, to the props in their hands to cheer, and then to the national flag...... Finally, the race begins!
"The game starts, the players from both sides start playing, let's see the starting XI from both sides!"
Croatia: Roko. Lenny. Ukic, Davor. Kus, Marin. Rodjic, Marco. Barnich, Stanko. Balaki.
National team: Sun Yue, Zhu Fangyu, Shi Lei, Yi Jianlian, Yao Ming.
"Jump ball, Yao Ming dials the ball to Shi Lei!"
In fact, although Croatia do not have a superhero in terms of individual strength, their overall defensive quality is very high, and in the preliminary round, they used a strong defense to defeat their opponents at the time, Germany, and at one point led by 12 points.
However, there are some things that cannot be erased no matter what, such as the height disadvantage between them and Yao Ming, and the huge gap in physical fitness between them and Shi Lei!
"Shi Lei made a layup and scored the first ball for the national team!" (To be continued.) )
