Coming back in the second half, Marbury found touch on the outside, and with improved defense, the U.S. team also closed some scores in the stalemate.

However, they fell too far behind in the first half, and they finally lost to the Chinese team 87-95.

Marbury scored 18 points on 6-of-12 shooting, Duncan scored 13 points on 5-of-11 shooting, Iverson scored 11 points on 4-of-15 shooting and Anthony had eight points.

Sun Hao scored a game-high 24 points, Yao Ming had 19 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 blocks, Li Nan had 11 points, and Yi Jianlian had 6 points and 10 rebounds.

The post-game press conference was attended by Iverson, Marbury and Brown.

"It's just the first game, my players are a little bit uncomfortable with the rules, and the rest of the games will be better."

Despite the loss, Brown affirmed the performance of his teammates.

'We started a little bit sloppy and at half-time we realised that and then we made a change.

Marbury, for his part, blamed the loss on the underdog.

"We still have a lot of confidence in the defending champions."

Iverson didn't play well tonight, but he was still confident.

Judging from the reactions of the three people, although they suffered a "good start" as soon as they came, losing this game did not make them lose their fighting spirit and confidence.

This may also make the fate of this Dream Six team different from what it is in history.

In the same period of history, the Dream Six team lost to Puerto Rico team by 19 points at the beginning.

After that game, the psychological pressure that Brown and his players suffered was completely different.

You must know that 19 points is already the largest point difference for the U.S. team in the Olympics.

So this Chinese team is worse than the Puerto Rican team in history?

Definitely not.

The game is related to play, and in the game in history, after the U.S. team threw the first three-pointer from Odom, it was followed by a three-pointer and 18 consecutive irons.

If you can't shoot three points, you can only break through the inside line, and in the FIBA game, the opponent will defend together, and no one's breakthrough will be good.

Coupled with the fact that Puerto Rico feels good, it's normal to lose like that.

But in this game, Marbury got his outside touch back in the second half, and the direction of the game was completely different.

And one more thing, because of the change in history, Anthony has also been given many more opportunities.

When future fans are talking about the Dream Six team, James, Wade, Anthony and others have been sitting on the bench is the most complained about.

That is also another important evidence of the "fan abolition rookie theory".

But now, Anthony is on the pitch and he's playing efficiently.

It is even foreseeable that Anthony will get more opportunities in the later games of the Dream Six team, which has a high overlap in functions at this position and lacks interior and projection.

Therefore, the ending of this Dream Six team may be different from that in history.

Of course, these are just Sun Hao's personal thoughts.

In fact, after the game, the fans at the American Forum had already exploded.

"Again? We lost to China again? God, unbelievable! ”

"Damn Larry Brown, he doesn't know how to coach a Dream Team!"

"I can't imagine that we have reached the point where the Chinese team can't win, and these players are not worthy of playing for the United States!"

"The Dream Six Team is as useless as the Dream Five Team, and it's disbanded."

……

From these comments, it can be seen that most American fans are still living in a dream and are not aware of the rise of world basketball.

And it can also be seen that after losing the opening game, winning the championship has become the only thing that can appease the fans of this Dream Six team.

Some people are happy and some are worried, after winning the American team again, domestic fans are high.

After Su Qun's article "Breaking the Myth of the Dream Team's Undefeated Olympics" was published in the Sports Weekly, it attracted a burst of carnival.

"I think Mr. Su's article, changing it to the first time to enter the goddess, will be more eye-catching."

"Tomorrow you can come to work at the Sports Weekly, and the position of editorial director will be reserved for you!"

"You're a real dream team led by Iverson and Duncan! I don't think there's any team that can beat us anymore! ”

"You said that Sun Hao and Yao Ming have partnered like this, if they are with O'Neill next season, Xiangxiang!"

"Don't say it, I don't even think the Chinese team is going all out......"

"You fell before I could exert my strength?"

……

Domestic fans are carnivaling, and the self-confidence of the players in the Chinese team has also been greatly improved.

With such self-confidence, the Chinese team ushered in the second opponent of the group stage, the Spanish team.

Because of the emergence of Sun Hao, Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian and others, the Chinese team quickly became a world-class team.

On the Spanish side, it started from the system, worked hard, and accumulated steadily, and after so many years, it was time to bear fruit.

Speaking of which, Spain has set a very embarrassing record in this Olympic Games.

They finished all their games with a 7-1 record, but finished in 7th place.

This is a loophole in the rules of the Olympic Games, but it can also prove the strength of the Spanish team.

For Sun Hao, this game also looks very special.

Gabajosa, Gasol, Raúl López, Navarro, Calderón......

Sun Hao played with this team, and it really felt like he was back in La Liga.

When warming up before the game, Sun Hao saw Gasol Jr. on the sidelines.

The moment he appeared, little Gasol was already waving his fleshy little hand vigorously.

As it turned out, even if Gasol brought his younger brother with him, he still couldn't stop the foodie from continuing to gain weight.

There is really a long way to go for foodies to lose weight.

And it's the same as four years ago, even though little Gasol is now 19 years old, after saying hello to Sun Hao, he still doesn't forget to say a word.

"Let Paul get a taste of your power."

Sun Hao couldn't help laughing after listening to it, this brother and younger brother have lived in the United States for a few years, and the relationship has not improved at all!

But it's right to think about it, Sasuke's hatred for Itachi was getting stronger and stronger before he killed Itachi.

When shaking hands before the game, Sun Hao felt a lot of emotion.

Gabajosa, his golden partner in the Real Madrid team, immediately recalled the days when he and Prigioni ate bullwhip together.

Raul Lopez, who was his backup at the beginning, will also be his backup with the Lakers next season.

Navarro, the core of the main rival Barcelona in La Liga.

Calderón, that's needless to say.

Big Gasol, not to mention this.

This is really a reunion of old people, and there will be a bunch of them.

However, these emotions are all before the game, and after the game starts, only the fight remains.

The strength of this Spanish team, not to mention the combat power on paper, is even stronger than the Dream Six team.

Historically, the only game that Spain lost at this Olympics was against the United States, losing by 12 points to 92-104.

And the main reason for losing is Marbury.

That night, New York's No. 3 shot 6 of 9 three-pointers, and one person scored 31 points!

Don't think 31 points is less, in fact, it has broken the individual single-game scoring record for the U.S. team, which is held by Dantley and Barkley!

And the 6 three-pointers also broke the Olympic record for the number of three-pointers in a single game held by Reggie Miller!

That night's Marbury was not just Ray Allen, it was Michael Jordan!

If you let the two teams play again, it's really hard to say whether the winner will be or loser.

To put it bluntly, the Spanish team does not have the points that can be clearly targeted by the lack of tacit understanding and poor three-point ability of the Dream Six team.

After the two teams opened, it was to fight for individual ability and team tacit understanding.

Da Gasol is not left behind in the inner line against Yao Ming, Gabajosa can also keep up with Yi Jianlian, plus the golden combination of Navarro and Calderón on the outside.

At halftime, the score was 47-46, and the Chinese team only led by one point.

This kind of performance surprised Sun Hao, because the impression of the Spanish team is that it is slow to heat.

The only explanation is that Spain's first game against Lithuania has already warmed them up.

The two teams battled fiercely until the final quarter.

It's this section that little Gasol is hi.

Because Sun Hao began to misplace the singles of Da Gasol!

Human growth is influenced by the things around them.

Not only personality, but also people's habits, abilities, and so on.

When Nelson Sr. was coaching, Sun Hao's running and bombing ability was greatly exercised.

After Johnson coached, Sun Hao also had a lot of experience in misplaced singles.

It's not a system badge or something, but it's also a real bonus to the player's personal strength.

Pity Da Gasol, he was caught and beaten in the La Liga Champions League, he was caught and beaten by Sun Hao in the NBA, and he was beaten in the FIBA game!

The Spanish team did not dare to take it lightly.

This Chinese men's basketball team is not the team that will have no baskets in the future, Li Nan and Hu Weidong are both very stable.

Including Yi Jianlian, his three-point ability is also much better than in history.

The pinch in the bag was even more daring, Sun Hao knocked on Yao Ming, and Yao Ming's stride meteor to the basket was a violent dunk.

In a way, Sun Hao is even more of a threat to play misplaced singles in China than he did when he was with the Mavericks.

So under the smile of Gasol Jr., the following scene happened on the field:

Sun Hao hit a quick three-point shot after shaking off Gasol;

Sun Hao's fake throw and real burst directly squeezed through Big Gasol to the inside throw;

Sun Hao's continuous direction-changing shooting feints shook down Pau Gasol;

……

Gasol Jr. turned his head viciously to look at little Gasol on the sidelines.

Background music plays.

O my stupid brother!

104 to 92.

I don't know if it's fate, the Chinese team defeated the Spanish team by the same score.

Sun Hao scored 31 points.

Well, it must have been fate.

Yi Jianlian performed well, scoring 16 points and 6 rebounds.

Yao Ming had 14 points and 11 boards, and Li Nan had 11 points.

On the Spanish side, Pau Gasol scored 29 points and Navarro scored 19.

……

In history, the Chinese men's basketball team will inevitably bring a word every time it goes to a competition, the group of death.

That's more because the men's basketball team itself is weak.

However, the group in which the Chinese team is now is a group of death in the true sense.

In addition to Angola, which is an African brother, the United States, Spain, Lithuania, Australia, none of them are good stubble.

But it's such a group of death, and the Chinese team has won two consecutive victories!

This made the confidence of the Chinese team players reach an unprecedented level!

With this self-confidence, the Chinese team made persistent efforts and defeated the Lithuanian team 93-83 and won three consecutive victories in the group stage!

And that's not the end.

After easily winning Angola to win four consecutive victories, in the final game of the group stage, the Chinese team defeated the opponent 96-76!

The Chinese team won all five games in the group stage, accumulating 10 points and ranking first in Group B!

What group of death is a floating cloud, the god blocks and kills the god, and the Buddha blocks and kills the Buddha!

When this result came out, the mood of domestic fans was unprecedentedly high.

Maybe before this, no one would have thought that the Chinese men's basketball team would have such a day!

"I feel like no one can stop us anymore!"

After the big victory over Australia, Zhu Fangyu couldn't help but sigh.

Playing in a national team like this, it's really refreshing.

"Don't underestimate the enemy."

Sun Hao knew that winning a full victory would make people relax.

In history, Spain will lose to the Dream Six team in this Olympic Games, in addition to Marbury's explosive species, it also has a lot to do with its own performance.

They made more mistakes in that game than in any other game in the group stage.

This shows that their concentration in the game is significantly worse than in the group stage.

Taking history as a mirror, although only Sun Hao knows the history alone, he also has to be reminded.

After the matches between China and Australia, the men's basketball group stage of the Olympic Games has also ended.

At this time, there was no rematch in the Olympic format, and the top four teams in the group stage advanced to the quarterfinals, and the remaining four teams were eliminated.

In Group B, the Chinese team won all 5 games and scored 10 points to rank first in the group;

Lithuania defeated the United States, with 3 wins and 2 losses, and ranked second in the group with 8 points;

The U.S. team won 3 and lost 2, also accumulating 8 points, but ranked third in the group because of the win-loss relationship;

Spain won 3 and lost 2 and finished fourth in the group;

Australia has 6 points from 1 win and 4 losses, and Angola has 5 points from 5 losses and has been eliminated from the competition.

In Group A, Argentina won all 5 games and ranked first in the group with 10 points;

Puerto Rico won 3 wins and lost 2 and finished second in the group with 8 points;

Germany has 3 wins and 2 losses, and is third in the group with 8 points;

Greece won 2 and lost 3, ranking fourth in the group with 7 points;

New Zealand and Serbia and Montenegro both finished with 1 win and 4 losses, and were eliminated from the tournament with 6 points.

In this way, the quarter-final matchups are also released.

Argentina vs Spain

Another collision of South American and European basketball, the difference is that it has changed from Yugoslavia to Spain;

Puerto Rico vs USA

This must be the arrangement of fate!

If you want to say that this group of matchups comes out, the person with the heaviest curiosity must be Sun Hao.

He was really curious if this Dream Six team would have a 19-point tragedy like in history;

Germany VS Lithuania

The European Civil War.

Nowitzki regretted losing his card at the World Championships two years ago, and whether he can make persistent efforts to win the card this time depends on this time;

China VS Greece!

The Chinese team met the host in the quarterfinals!

Greece were a standard powerhouse in the 90s, and at the turn of the century they began to rebuild.

The pinnacle of the Greek men's basketball team was the silver medal at the 2006 World Championships, beating the United States.

Now they are not at the peak of their strength.

But in reality, it's not too much.

Moreover, in any major tournament, the host has a home bonus, and its strength should not be underestimated. (Recommended reading: Reading Files 2013)
