After the press conference, Sun Hao returned to the game site.

The rest of the Chinese team has also arrived there early.

On the pitch is another semi-final: Germany vs. Argentina.

The winner will become the other team to reach the final of the Olympic Games.

When Sun Hao arrived, the German team was in a stalemate with the Argentine team.

In history, Nowitzki and Yao Ming can be said to be sympathetic.

The same quality is outstanding, and then the same teammates who are not good enough in the national team.

This also means that even if they are at the peak of their careers, they will not be able to lead the national team to the next level.

Now history has changed, and the Chinese team is no longer the Chinese team in history.

But the German team is still the German team in history.

Nowitzki was alone on the field.

But I have to say that Nowitzki's scoring ability in FIBA is stronger than Yao Ming.

This is also the reason why the German team can win the bronze medal in the World Championships in history, and it is also the reason why they can now stalemate with Argentina.

Nowitzki's desire to win is unprecedentedly strong, and he not only wants to help Germany break through history, but also has an agreement with Sun Hao.

Since Sun Hao sat down, the score difference on the court has not been 5 points.

At the end of the first quarter, Germany was only 1 point behind Argentina at 25-26.

The performance of the German team can be said to be exceptional.

However, in the second quarter of the substitute transition, the Argentine team slowly opened the score.

Sun Hao's attention also shifted from Nowitzki to Argentina.

This Argentine team won the silver medal at the World Championships two years ago, and the main force is basically there, with the growth of strength and the tacit understanding of long-term play.

Their strength is obviously stronger than the German team, and they are also stronger than the Dream Six team.

They don't have a fatal weakness like the Dream Six and are well-balanced inside and out.

Ginobili's role in FIBA is not much lower than that of Sun Hao.

Although the center is weaker than the Chinese team, it is stronger than the Chinese team in other positions.

If Argentina wins, it is foreseeable that the next final will be the most difficult for the Chinese team since the start of the competition.

On the field, the German team did not want to admit defeat easily, and watching the score be stretched to double digits, Nowitzki put on the battle in advance.

After he came on the pitch, the German team's attack improved significantly, and the two teams continued to stalemate.

By halftime, Argentina had a 12-point lead over Germany at 47-35.

This scene is really exactly the same as the Chinese team in the impression of fans.

The substitute is not good, and it can't stand without Nowitzki/Yao Ming, and Nowitzki/Yao Ming are forced to play early to maintain the situation.

Then in the third or fourth quarter, Nowitzki/Yao Ming ran out of energy and were pulled away by a wave.

Sure enough, in the second half, Nowitzki ran out of energy and missed consecutive attacks, and the German team was unable to maintain the point difference.

In the end, Argentina defeated Germany 93-76 and successfully advanced to the Olympic finals!

Ginobili was on a hot streak with a team-high 24 points and six assists, while Scola had 19 points and nine rebounds.

On the German side, Nowitzki scored 31 points.

It doesn't matter if it's milk or not.

Basketball is a five-player sport, and the impact of individual strength on the game is when the strength of the two teams is close.

When there is a real disparity in strength, it is very difficult to change one's life by relying on oneself.

Nowitzki's mood looked a little down.

Compared to two years ago, he still failed to make it to the final.

But unlike two years ago, Sun Hao entered the finals, but he didn't make it!

After Sun Hao saw it, he went down to the venue to comfort Nowitzki for a while.

This Argentine team, the current Chinese team is not sure of winning, and it is normal for the German team to lose.

"The German team's game is not over yet."

And Sun Hao also reminded Nowitzki.

Although they lost to Argentina, Germany still have to play three or four finals behind.

Although the opponent Dream Six team is also strong, the German team is not without a chance to fight.

Not to mention anything else, the Dream Six team did not enter the finals, and the fighting spirit must not be very good.

If the German team really succeeds in fighting hard and wins an Olympic bronze medal, is it not as good as the bronze medal in the World Championships?

Of course, it is not so easy to beat the Dream Team, and if the German team wants to win, they must first have fighting spirit.

Among them, Nowitzki is the most critical point.

"Yes, it's not over yet."

Nowitzki nodded earnestly.

What Sun Hao can do, he also has a chance.

Sun Hao finished chatting with Nowitzki and was about to leave when he saw someone walking towards him with a smile.

Ginobili.

Ginobili has had long hair since the start of last season.

At this time, the long hair is fluttering, and the fairy spirit is fluttering.

"Manu, you've gotten stronger."

Sun Hao took the initiative to say hello and stretched out his hand...... Touched Ginobili's head.

In the past two years, he has rarely done such a thing, but he still can't help seeing Ginobili.

Ginobili smiled and nodded, not disgusted, but felt very useful.

The "Touch Your Head" badge glows with the light of righteousness.

"We're meeting again, but this time I'm going to win."

After greeting him, Ginobili continued.

At the World Championships two years ago, Bodi Loga, who met Sun Hao in the Champions League, met Sun Hao in the semifinals of the World Championships.

As a result, Bodi Loga, who lost in the Champions League, finally won back and won the World Championship!

Now, Ginobili, who also met Sun Hao in the Champions League and was defeated by Sun Hao, met Sun Hao on the Olympic finals stage.

Ginobili, too, wants to win back.

"Me too."

Sun Hao smiled and said.

All encounters are reunions after a long absence!

However, time has passed, and the situation is completely different now than it was two years ago.

As he said earlier at the press conference, the Chinese team has even won the dream team and is no longer afraid of any opponent.

In other words, the Chinese team is determined to win this championship.

The two of them looked at each other, and they both felt the confidence of victory in each other's eyes.

The final is bound to be intense.

The men's basketball third-place and fourth-place finals and finals were played a day later, on the day of the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games.

There was a day off in between.

It was at this time that Sun Hao received a call from Kupchak.

Spanolys, it's done.

The Lakers didn't plan to sign Marcus Dohit, their second-round pick this year.

But now, signing with Dohit, and adding a little cash, has swapped Spanollis for it.

With Collins leaving, Dohit is an inside lineman who the Mavericks may use.

Rookies in their 50s are worth the trade.

This pick Ginobili played out, but it was only one Ginobili.

And the times are changing, and after the information of overseas players becomes more and more transparent, the probability of Taobao is also decreasing.

On Spanoulis' side, the Lakers have also negotiated.

He only landed in the NBA in 2006 in his history, not because he didn't want to go, but because the Mavericks didn't let him go.

However, because Spanoulis still has a contract, the Lakers need to help pay a portion of the buyout fee.

Kupchak, all done.

Not for anything else, just because...... Well, this time the "Emperor's Wrath" badge radiates the light of righteousness.

This time, the Lakers' point guard position has also been replenished, and only one more backup guard swingman is needed, and the lineup is complete.

And it's not that urgent, even if there is no suitable candidate, it is not a big problem to enter the season with a 14-man squad.

……

After a day of recuperation, the final day of the Olympic Games began.

The men's basketball third- and fourth-place finals started at 4 p.m. local time.

Sun Hao also went to watch the game in advance.

He didn't look at it for a while, and then he noticed one thing: his mouth was opened!

The German team, for their part, borrowed from the experience of Puerto Rico and China, and also contracted their defense at the beginning.

And Anthony didn't feel very good in this game, and as a result, the Dream Six team fell into the scene of playing with the Chinese team in the opening game.

If you can't shoot from the outside, you can only rush to the basket, and the success rate of people under the basket is low.

As a result, the Dream Six team became more and more passive, while the German team played more and more.

At halftime, they scored only 27 points......

47-30, the German team led the Dream Six team by 17 points!

This makes people doubt life.

After Sun Hao came to his senses, he felt that it was actually normal.

It is completely normal for this Dream Six team to lose to Puerto Rico by more than 20 points in the middle half and lose to Germany by 17 points.

And you have to consider that the morale of the Dream Six team at this time is obviously not as good as when the Olympics first started.

Take Iverson as an example, he has been saying that he firmly believes that they can defend the title, but after being eliminated by the Chinese team, he did not say anything more.

In the second half, the Dream Six team began to fight back frantically, but after the German team built up confidence through the first half, it was completely unfazed.

Especially on the offensive end, Nowitzki is a point that the U.S. team can't solve.

You must know that the U.S. team doesn't have a reliable interior except Duncan, and Brown doesn't dare to let Duncan pull on the outside to defend Nowitzki.

In fact, even if he had to do it later, Nowitzki's defense was not good in the face of hot hands.

By the time the game came to the end, with the German team still leading by 14 points, the fans in the stadium couldn't help but stand up.

Sun Hao also got up with a smile, and his mood was indescribably good.

And he began to grasp a little bit of philosophy.

People may fail, but who knows that this time the failure is for the next greater success?

The premise is that if you keep fighting spirit and hard work all the time.

What Nowitzki has done, the bronze medal at the World Championships has become a bronze medal at the Olympic Games, is the best interpretation of this philosophy!

89 to 79!

When the final whistle blew and the score was frozen, the fans at the scene were already too happy.

The German team won the Olympic bronze medal!

Dream team, in the end, they didn't even get a card!

On the field, Nowitzki was already holding his teammates and his eyes were red with emotional excitement.

Although he failed to reach the finals, he won an Olympic medal, and the history of German basketball has been rewritten!

On the other hand, the mood swings of the Dream Six team members don't seem to be particularly large.

After the hasty handshake, they were quickly back in the locker room.

If you don't make it to the finals, it has already proved that this Dream Six team is a failure.

Third and fourth place, the difference is not that big for them.

However, Sun Hao thinks that this is not necessarily a bad thing for American basketball.

Because this kind of thing is the same as falling in love, only the deeper the injury, the more you will remember each other.

If the U.S. team wins a bronze medal here, fans can still talk about it.

After all, two years ago at the World Championships, they had already won a bronze medal once.

But now that I haven't got any cards, the level of excitement is completely different.

It is foreseeable that the reform of the American Basketball Association will be more drastic than in history.

Of course, those are not what Sun Hao cares about now.

He left the arena after the game.

Just grab a bite to eat and take a break, and he's about to reach the Olympic final with Argentina.

They have already fought to this juncture, and the evening game is not allowed to be defeated for them!

Later in the evening, the men's basketball team warmed up in the court early.

The Argentine team also came early.

Both sides reached the Olympic final for the first time, and whoever won made history.

A large number of spectators also came early to the scene.

What other fans may not have noticed is that this is another pinnacle duel between two European emperors.

At this time, Sun Hao found a very unexpected figure in the stands.

Kupchak!

This general manager of the Lakers actually came to Athens!

Needless to say, it must be for Sun Hao.

After the Athens Olympics, Sun Hao went home, and then went to Los Angeles.

At most, in a few days, Sun Hao and Kupchak will meet him in Los Angeles.

But now it seems that the general manager of the Lakers is a little impatient.

The pre-game warm-up was over, and the starters on both sides appeared one after another.

On the Chinese team's side, Sun Hao, Li Nan, Zhu Fangyu, Yi Jianlian, Yao Ming.

Harris, the starting lineup, was very easy to use, and it worked very well.

On the Argentine side, Prigioni, Ginobili, Delfino, Scola, Oberto.

In addition to this, there are also Nocioni and Herman on the bench.

Sun Hao looked over, all old acquaintances.

All seven of these people have played in the NBA in their history, and they have all played the main team.

So really looking back at the history of the Argentine team to win the championship this year, it was by no means a bit of an accident like Greece later, but really strong.

Oberto and Yi Jianlian's jump ball.

Yi Jianlian jumped high and put the ball back in the Chinese team's half, once again winning the opportunity for the Chinese team to attack first.

At this time, some fans in the domestic forum couldn't help but yy, how comfortable it would be if Yi Jianlian could play with Nash.

The inside line, especially the inside line who can run and jump, is the happiest thing to meet a pass master.

Nash is to Stoudemire, Kidd is to Kenyon Martin, and even Paul is to Tyson Chandler and Jordan Jr., to name a few.

When the fans were yy, Sun Hao cooperated with Yi Jianlian in the front court, and the Argentine team was sandwiched.

Sun Hao accurately hoisted the ball to Yi Jianlian, and Yi Jianlian rushed into the inner line, directly catching up with a gliding double buckle before Oberto returned to defense!

This time the momentum was very strong, and he swung around the basket after dunking.

The envy in the eyes of the Greek fans at the scene could not be hidden.

This yellow man is really too different from their impression, this is really too special to jump.

The Chinese team is the first to take the lead!
