On August 18, the Chinese men's basketball team qualified as the second in the group.

This also means that Chinese basketball has successfully achieved a historic breakthrough.

Because even if the Chinese team loses the first round of the knockout round, it can still get the sixth place with a record of 3 wins and 2 losses.

Of course, the fans are not going to rest on their laurels for sixth. Everyone knows that this team can do better.

Playing Croatia is not without chances.

The basketball court is in full swing, and the track and field field, the most high-profile 110-meter hurdles, is about to begin.

Liu Xiang, who can be counted as almost the most famous athlete in all of China, prepares to take off at the Bird's Nest.

His rivalry with Cuba's Robles was the highlight of the Games.

Of course, as in the original history, Liu Xiang's withdrawal shocked the whole of China.

For a while, various conspiracy theories appeared on the Internet, and some people said that Liu Xiang gave up the game because he was afraid of losing to Robles......

Well......

The Internet is developed, and everyone has it.

Liu Xiang's withdrawal from the game was almost the biggest news of the day, and it once took away the flow of the men's basketball team.

Of course, the change of direction also increased the popularity of the men's basketball team after that.

Because now, there is one less project that has attracted the attention of Chinese.

And the men's basketball team is almost the most watched men's event right now!

Although the competition has moved to the next stage, the rest time will not be too much.

There is also a game to play on the day off, so it is very important to fight until the end.

In addition to the technical and tactical level, whether the will is strong enough is also the key to whether or not you can win.

Fortunately, after playing Spain, the Chinese team was paddling in two of the three games, and Yao Ming didn't fight too hard even against Germany.

Therefore, in the knockout stage, the Chinese team still has the strength to fight.

The FIBA schedule is like that, because the tournament is relatively short, unlike the NBA, which has a whole year for you to consume.

I don't know if Bodog has a brain, Wayne complained in his previous life that China's World Cup schedule is unreasonable, and he is more tired than the NBA.

No matter which country this special FIBA competition is held in, no matter what event it is, it is arranged like this, and it is a matter of China's.

So this forced is purely underwhelming, and Wayne locked him a few years ago and was really not wronged.

It's a pity that Australia was not happy in this Olympics, and only won the fourth place in one group.

Anyone with a higher score in the Kangaroo Legion, Wayne can beat him.

It's not the kind of beating that plays basketball, it's the real kind of beating.

The last time Zhu Ba wanted to beat Rubio, he didn't beat him, and he has been holding back his strength until now.

If I meet Australia, you're going to give me an open beating.

Bodogt: You know why I only dared to finish fourth.

Well, you still can't open up and beat, just educate first.

It's not good to be banned.

The big battle is imminent, and on the morning of the 19th, Younas also organized a tactical meeting for everyone to analyze the video of the Croatian team's game.

Croatia and Lithuania are very similar, and many of their players in their squad, Wayne, can't be named, but this team is very scary to fight.

Because it's a team-driven team.

None of their players are individual in the best of the best, but each one is very well balanced.

Whether it's a guard or a center, there is a shot and a pass.

Croatia's style is one of tough defence and an old European attacking style.

That is, the center position and the overall blocking.

Tear out gaps with constant runs and conduction, then look for opportunities to kill the game with accurate shots!

However, their tough defense may not be of much use against the Chinese team.

Because of players of Wayne and Yao Ming's level, if they don't use the bag, no one can defend against it.

Offense: You can shoot and pass, but you can't defend yourself at the top level of the NBA, right?

Especially on the inside, the difference in rank is abuse.

Defenders still have the possibility of having a bad hand, but if they run into the inside, they will make fouls, and they can also kill people with free throws.

Of course, Croatia can be packed. But if you are in the bag, then Wayne and Yao Ming, who are you in the bag?

Yao Ming is not the only one in the current Chinese team, and he can win by exhausting him to death.

Now there's an NBA MVP.

It's impossible to directly use four people to defend two people in the Chinese team, right?

Therefore, Younas's strategy for tomorrow is to attack inside and change defenses indefinitely.

In any case, the Croatian cannot be given an easy shot.

Defensively, Croatia can't defend against Yao Ming and Wayne.

The point is that the Chinese team also has to defend Croatia.

For tomorrow's game, Lao You attaches great importance to it.

Because it's not just a matter of qualifying, it's also a test for the Chinese team.

If it really advances and meets Lithuania, Lithuania will be a fully upgraded version of Croatia.

More accurate, harder, more powerful.

If you can succeed in playing Croatia, you can only hope to play Lithuania!

This kind of team that doesn't have a focus is not good to defend, and you can't just contain him on the outside and inside.

But again, this kind of unfocused team doesn't have a real attacking core.

Whoever feels good at the critical moment will come.

There are pros and cons.

And when the Chinese team is studying Croatia, Lithuania is already studying the Chinese team in advance.

China and Lithuania are old rivals and often meet them at the Olympics.

But almost every time, it was Lithuanian education.

It may also be because of this factor that the Basketball Association will find a Lithuanian coach to coach.

If you can't beat it...... Let you join me!

Although Lithuania has always been a stable Chinese presence in the international arena, this time the Lithuanians did not dare to be careless.

After China beat Spain by 10 points, no opponent would dare to despise the hosts anymore.

What's more, Lithuania is indeed very jealous of Younas.

Don't underestimate the role of intelligence work, and that's where Dirk suffers.

Lithuania is very confident that it can win against Greece, so it has studied the Chinese team in advance.

In the semifinals, this crazy team that even the dream team is afraid of three points will not let the Chinese team playing at home pass easily......

On August 20, the Chinese team ushered in the quarterfinals.

In the history of the Olympic Games, the Chinese team has never won the knockout round.

Now, Wayne, every step they take is making history.

The process of the game was similar to Younas's calculation, and on the inside, Croatia had nothing to do.

As soon as Yao Ming came up, he abused the opponent's No. 5 position with a turnaround buckle.

Wayne also scored with a rollover.

After a 4-0 start, Croatia began to fight back.

They seek gaps with fast conduction and ring after ring of pick-and-rolls.

But the Chinese team's infinite change of defense played a role.

Except for Yao Ming who squatted directly in the pit, everyone else changed their defense as soon as they saw the block and dismantled, and changed the defense as soon as they saw the block and dismantle, and they executed it very resolutely.

So Croatia's shooting percentage at the beginning was not high, and it was basically a strong shot.

And the point that Yao Ming missed, although he could score, he couldn't kill the game.

At this time, the weakness of the player's individual ability is not outstanding.

In the second quarter, Croatia's three-point shooting rate continued to decline.

Wayne, on the other hand, turned on God-Killing Mode.

He scored on the inside in a row, and Croatia really didn't have the players who could contain the superstar.

The Croatian team reached the Olympics by playing a play-off, and their current strength can only be regarded as second-rate in Europe, about the same level as Germany.

So there are no players who are too capable.

Wayne rushed to the frame and became a FIBA LeBron in seconds.

The Middle East-style style of play is a sneaky one.

It's not that Wayne doesn't want to shoot, it's because the efficiency of punching the frame is really too high!

The opposite side doesn't dare to wrap the clip, and the single defense can't be prevented, which basket do you throw!

Rush!

Rush hard!

Rush fast!

Rushing in is either scoring or going to the free throw line, which is just cool.

Wayne just rushed for a while, and then the difference was widened.

At the end of the half, the Chinese team led Croatia by 10 points!

Yu Jia wiped the sweat from his forehead, which was as if he had opened it.

China led the traditional European team by 10 points at halftime, and I didn't dare to have it easily in my dreams!

Well, the Chinese team did hang up.

Wayne doesn't dare to say that he is the No. 1 plug-in in basketball, but he is definitely the No. 1 plug-in in FIBA.

The Dream Team can't hold the inside line, you Croatia take the head to defend.

In the third quarter, Croatia began to get up and use full-court pressing to deal with the defenders of the Chinese team.

After suffering several losses, people found out that the Chinese team actually switched to Wayne to organize!

The 2.06-meter organizational defender is very gan on Nima.

Oh, go to the special 2.06m.

Croatia, which has not played against the Chinese team for many years, found that Wayne's 2.06 meters is really the pinnacle of intelligence and espionage warfare.

Everyone naively thought that Wayne was 2.06 meters, but he stood taller than their center.

Wayne: No, no, no, the U.S. team is going to be even more outrageous in the future. And also...... I'm really 2.06 meters!

After Wayne started to control the ball, Croatia didn't dare to use a short man to play against Wayne, because then Wayne could immediately pull out a jumper as long as he took a few steps from the midfield line.

Let's not forget that FIBA's ultra-long-range three-pointers are also a regular range in the eyes of Wayne, who often plays in the NBA.

Therefore, he can only continue to defend Wayne with a big tall man.

As a result, Wayne can still control the ball with ease and without worrying about being tackled.

Under Wayne's organization, the Chinese team's offense has become more fluid.

Basketball is played wherever it is.

Although Chen Jianghua and Liu Wei felt very good, they still played very well.

Because under Wayne's conduction, even they stole it a few times.

After Wayne switched to point guard, the Chinese team's offense began to blossom more, and Zhu Ba, UAE Lian, Dasheng and Wang Zhizhi, who has always felt good, all hit three-point shots one after another.

The Croatian commentator covered his forehead: "What is this...... I TM...... Can this be played!? ”

A point guard of more than 2.10 meters, this Nima is simply pole vaulting in the toilet, over!

In the fourth quarter, Croatia exploded.

There's no way, if it doesn't explode, it will be eliminated.

But after only half a section, the iron began to strike frantically again.

Croatia to put it bluntly, it is a bit of a taste of the feel to eat, the shooting is accurate, and once the shooting is iron, it is necessary to hold the chicken and play with the egg.

The Chinese team's rapid rotation defense made the opponent simply unable to find a chance to free up a vacant shot, and if there was no good opportunity, he could only reluctantly shoot under pressure, so that the hit rate was naturally not guaranteed.

As the biggest dark horse of this Olympic Games, the Croatian team, the magic weapon that relied on to win in the group stage - the hit rate, is now completely gone.

In today's game, Croatia shot just 38% from the field, and the three-point shooting rate was as low as 26%.

In the case of unfavorable offense, Wayne also scored 35 points, 13 rebounds and 7 assists in the all-round data, and he couldn't play at all.

The final score was 72-58, with Croatia losing by 14 points.

Had it not been for the fact that Croatia had made too many match-fixes in the first half of the fourth quarter, the margin would have been even greater.

When Croatia came out of the Olympic play-offs this year, their head coach said: "We're not here to travel, we're here to fight. ”

As it turned out, they did, and Croatia, who were at a low point, were expected to qualify from the group.

But Wayne, the Great Demon King, told them, "It's almost there." ”

"It's over! Wayne almost single-handedly broke down the Croatian defense, and the Croatian defense didn't help at all! We...... We've passed the quarter-finals and we're going to the semi-finals! Yu Jia continued to roar blindly.

The commentary on the Croatian side was less impassioned.

"Wei is the most incredible player on the planet, he is completely on the same level as himself and the Dream Team! No, even the Dream Team doesn't have such tough players! Today's game is simply the ultimate embodiment of individual ability! ”

N has not played against the Chinese team for many years, and he was taught to be a man as soon as he played.

Croatia said it slipped away.

It's true that basketball is a team sport, but it's always the stars who decide the game.

In an interview after the game, a CCTV reporter asked Wayne: "How did you feel when you led the team to win the first Olympic knockout game in the history of Chinese basketball?" ”

Wayne's expression was not very excited, he was still calm: "There is always someone who wants to break the first time, why not us?" Now, we're in the semi-finals and we've made a historic breakthrough.

But if I say we've won enough, it's false.

In the previous Olympics, we could only fight two or three at this level.

But this time at home, we're going to keep fighting! ”

Wayne's impassioned victory declaration encouraged the fans.

We're also a world powerhouse!

Although the game is over, the members of the coaching staff and Wayne and Yao Ming have not relaxed.

They watched the match between Lithuania and Greece together.

Then, the Greek team was so abused that they couldn't find the basket.

Lithuania is really the Croatia Plus version.

Three-point accuracy, everybody has a shot, everyone can pass the ball.

The inner line is high but not slow, and the outer line is fast but not chaotic.

And the most outstanding performance in this game is their star player, who was briefly teammates with Wayne on the Pacers and is known as the "King of Europe". Jasco Visius.

This is the true king of Europe, with a dominant performance in the Europa League, having won the Champions League three times in a row.

In fact, he played well in the NBA, averaging 7.4 points per game and a high three-point shooting percentage in the season when he was a teammate with Wayne, and he was a very high-quality shooter!

If it weren't for the fact that he was positioned as a substitute, his stats would definitely be better.

Later, he left the NBA because he didn't want to be a small person in the NBA.

His technical characteristics must be used properly in order to be fully developed.

But because of his average physical fitness and poor defense, he is at most a shooter in the NBA.

So he returned to Europe and continued to dominate the Europa League.

On the international stage, Jasco Visius is also a big killer.

A real cheat-level player.

Moreover, it is a big killer that terrifies even the dream team.

In the semi-finals of the 2000 Sydney Olympics, he missed a three-point shot to beat the Dream Four. Carter sat excitedly on the field and celebrated wildly.

Well, before that, the Dream Team was pretty much playing an exhibition game. As a result, the game was almost killed, and the feeling seemed to send the Dream Team players to hell.

And the devil who made them fall into hell was none other than Jasco Vitius, who scored 27 points in the game!

Thankfully, they escaped. And soon, they also forgot about the European defender who almost killed the game.

Americans thought they would never go back to hell, but in 2004 they died at the hands of the devil.

They paid the price for their arrogance.

In Athens 2004, Lithuania played against the Dream Team, and the European defender made the world remember his name.

In that game, Jasco Vihuus scored 28 points in the game, including 10 consecutive points in the most critical 1 minute and 28 seconds of the fourth quarter!

Iverson, Marbury and other famous star guards have become his foils, and he even completed a god-like four-point shot against Odom!

Well, a guard who couldn't get a contract in the NBA scored back-to-back points at critical moments to blow up the Dream Team.

If this had been written, it would have been said to be a forcible victory.

But again, reality is more magical than that.

The key is that Jascovy Hughes is not a typical European defender character, because he went to high school and college in the United States, so his temper is a bit of an American defender, and he is an out-and-out bad boy.

So after this match, Jasco Vysius said very pretendedly: "It's just the most ordinary victory, if we don't get a gold medal, what's the use of this victory?" We beat Team USA, so? We're not here just to beat the U.S., we're fighting for the gold. ”

Well, the implication is, "It's not a big deal!" ”

It's a big beep European divider.

Today, Jasco Vitius was also crazy, the first half was not bad, and the three-point goal in the second half was brushed.

You can't stop it when you smoke it.

Of course, there is also the fact that Lithuania's blocking and dismantling play is really good.

It's very layered, one can't hang up and the next one.

Wayne really didn't have an in-depth understanding of this guy when he was a teammate before, but he didn't expect that there was such a great god sitting next to him back then.

'Jascovysius isn't our only problem, Lithuania is not his team alone and we have a lot to look out for. Let's rest today, I'll tidy up for the night. Tomorrow morning at nine o'clock, tactical meeting! ”

After Younas finished speaking, Yao Ming and Wayne also went back to their rooms.

Yao Ming has been clenching his fists since he came out of the office, and his expression is serious.

He knows that Lithuania is a team that does not lose to Spain.

It's hard to say whether China can win or not.

Wayne saw Chairman Yao's concerns and patted him on the back: "If a miracle doesn't happen, it's always just a miracle, but if a miracle happens, it's reality."

It didn't seem like we could have won against Spain before, but now that's a reality. ”

"Well, have a good rest, you have to have a good rest these two days." Yao Ming nodded vigorously.

After saying that, Wayne and Yao Ming said goodbye and returned to their rooms.

Wayne didn't rest immediately after returning to the room, but called up the system interface.

After saving up for so long, it should be enough to make up for those two strength attributes.

Jasco Vitius?

Come on and find out who is the real FIBA number one cheat!
