"I accept the result of the game, my players played to their strengths, they worked hard, but unfortunately we met Liu who can match Jordan, no one can ask a Spanish team with an average age of less than 24 to beat the Chinese team with Liu, he is the most special. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"But Liu has been away from basketball for more than two years, and he's now a professional footballer."

"Jordan can still score 40 points in the NBA after playing baseball for 17 months, they are the same kind of people, although everyone knows how bad Jordan's baseball is and Liu Han is a football genius."

This is a conversation that took place at a press conference after the match between Spain and China in the quarterfinals of the men's basketball team at the Sydney Olympics, between the journalist and the head coach of the Spanish team.

Liu Han defeated the Spanish team in only half a game, which made their head coach very embarrassed, so he had to praise Liu Han vigorously after the game, so that his team's failure seemed more reasonable, otherwise it is estimated that his position will be unstable.

Such a game is a huge blow to the Spanish team, and it is a big incentive for the Chinese team, but for the next semi-finals, the Chinese team does not have much hope, their next opponent will be the winner of the first group A and the fourth place in group B, the result is actually predestined, because the first team in Group A is the United States, and the fourth place in Group B is Russia.

Can Russia defeat the United States? This is obviously a question, and a very ridiculous question, the polar bears have never beaten the American team when they are at their strongest, let alone now after ten years of "shock therapy".

This year's U.S. team is much darker than the previous "Dream Team", although there are still big stars such as Jason Kidd, Kevin Garnett, Gary Payton and other big stars, but there are also some second-tier stars and rising stars, such as Steve? Smith, Antonio? McDyce, '99 rookie Vinson Carter and others.

In the group stage, the Dream Four team can be said to play smoothly, but in the group game against Lithuania, the Dream Four team only won by nine points, which is enough to show that the basketball level of other countries is rapidly approaching the United States.

In this game, the Dream Four team exposed a major flaw in them, that is, the lack of outside firepower, although the Dream Four team led by Jason Kidd, Gary Payton and Tim Hardaway is very strong on the outside in ball control, defense and breakthrough, but they are not based on the best shooting players, and the entire Dream Four team, there is also a lack of stable enough pitchers, head coach Tomjanovic brought his habit of liking the center to the Dream Four team, and the team has hoarded a lot of players inside, But in games where FIBA can defend together, the strength of the U.S. team's interior has been suppressed.

The Lithuanian team was defending two or three joint defenses from beginning to end in the game of the American team, preventing breakthroughs and not shooting, and the inside line was desperately trapped, which made the American team play quite hard.

Although the U.S. team won the game in the end, their shortcomings were noticed by everyone.

On September 29, the penultimate day of the Sydney Olympics, the semifinals of the men's basketball competition began.

Jiang Xinquan adjusted Liu Han's position in this game, he put Liu Han in the scoring guard position, and let Li Xiaoyong start the point guard, the purpose is to release Liu Han and let Liu Han play the biggest role in the offense.

Yao Min failed to beat Alonzo Mourning in the middle circle (Mourning was very explosive before the kidney change, otherwise he would not have ranked in the top 10 of the league's block list, this top 10 was the top 10 when O'Neal and Duncan were active, and later O'Neal and Duncan both surpassed Mourning), although Mourning's height is only 2.08 meters.

Payton squeezed away Lee to grab the basketball, Tom Janovic started point guard with Payton, who was more famous and better defensive, and Jason Kidd was on the bench.

Payton has always had a regret in his heart that he has never beaten Liu Han in the game, since Liu Han joined the NBA, the SuperSonics team was eliminated by the Lakers in the playoffs for two consecutive years, which made Payton very depressed, he dreamed of beating Liu Han once, this desire is even stronger than beating Jordan.

Payton dribbled the ball to the front court and hoisted it into the hands of Mourning on the inside, Tomjanovic has always been a head coach who values the inside, otherwise he would not have developed a player like Olajuwon.

After Mo Ning took the ball, he was ready to beat the "big bamboo pole" behind him, Yao Min's thin figure made Mo Ning feel that the other party should have little strength, but unexpectedly the big man of the Chinese team was quite stable, and Mo Ning leaned on two strokes and did not carry Yao Min.

This is Liu Han has come to wrap up Mourning, and Mourning can only pass the ball back to the outside Vinson Carter after losing the opportunity.

Vinson Carter was a rookie in '99 and this year is only his second year in the NBA, but with his excellent physical fitness, he quickly became the core of the Raptors as soon as he joined the NBA, and even surpassed his distant cousin McGrady at one point.

Carter had the opportunity to pass the ball to a direct shot after getting the ball, but the young Carter wanted to challenge Liu Han, so he even refused Garnett's request for the ball.

Liu Han and returned to his defensive position to face Carter's challenge directly.

Carter took the ball and tried to move, and found that Liu Han was unmoved, and then he directly broke through from the left side of Liu Han's body, but Liu Han's feet moved quite quickly and directly stuck Carter's breakthrough line.

Carter, who was blocked, pulled the ball and half-turned to feint, and then used his feet to turn his body again to shoot, but he underestimated Liu Han's reaction speed and bounce.

Although Carter's previous movements were done in one go, the jump height and body shape were maintained very well, but when he shot, he found that Liu Han was still blocking in front of him, and even the space for his shot was blocked by Liu Han.

After Yao Min grabbed the rebound, he directly made a pass to Liu Han, because Liu Han rushed out as soon as he landed.

In the face of the physical and explosive American team, the general team rarely can play a counterattack, and the American team has a high-pressure defense and then counterattacks, but today the Chinese team played a counterattack, Liu Han's speed is also incomparable in the eyes of the players of the American team, and Yao Min is tall, of course, he can see far when he stands tall, and his finger kung fu is also good, and the passing is very good.

After Liu Han successfully received the ball, he went to the backcourt of the American team at full speed, and Carter also returned to the defense behind him.

Liu Han jumped high after stepping into the three-point line, and Carter was not to be outdone, trying to block Liu Han to save face.

But Liu Han, who jumped into the air, suddenly folded at the highest point, just dodging Carter's block, and then Liu Han spread his body again and dunked the ball into the basket with his right hand.

Liu Han finished abusing NBA rising star Vincent between one defense and one offense? Carter. (To be continued.) )
