On August 21, Spain and France battled for a bronze medal in third and fourth place, with Spain relying on a deeper lineup and better performance to defeat France and win an Olympic bronze medal.

And a day later, on August 22, the final of the men's basketball event at the Olympic Games officially arrived.

Huaxia men's basketball team vs American men's basketball team, this is undoubtedly a much-anticipated game, whether the American men's basketball team continues to defend its position as the world's supremacy, or the Chinese men's basketball team breaks the dominance of the dream team and opens a new era, everyone is curious.

In the locker room of the Chinese men's basketball team, Wang Xiao made the final mobilization.

"Guys, this is the last battle." Looking around at his teammates, Wang Xiao's face was relaxed. "I've said everything I need to say in the past few months, and everyone's hard work over the past few months will come to fruition in this game."

As early as when the national team started training, Wang Xiao's training plan, tactical layout and video analysis were only for the United States team, even if it was a top team like Spain, Wang Xiao did not waste even a trace of energy.

It is precisely because of such meticulous investment that the Chinese men's basketball team was able to defeat the United States team in the group stage.

"But I still want to say, I hope you can try to let go of the pressure in your hearts, we have done well enough along the way, as long as we do our best and play to our due level, as for the victory or defeat, it will be left to God's will."

Although Wang Xiao attaches great importance to the outcome of this game because it is related to the completion of the system upgrade task, he does not want such attention to bring too much pressure to the players.

After all, this is the Olympic Games, and a mistake in the game can saddle a player with a lifetime of infamy, and even be named "the sinner who caused the Chinese men's basketball team to miss the championship".

Now the Chinese men's basketball team is full of young players, whose life experience and experience are not as good as veterans like Yi Jianlian, and excessive pressure has the risk of damaging their self-confidence and affecting their future careers, Wang Xiao does not want to see this happen.

Therefore, his speech to the players in the team has always revealed a very relaxed and indifferent attitude, and it is also in this way that the players can relax.

Of course, players like Jeremy Lin and Yi Jianlian, who have seen strong winds and waves, will not be affected in any way, one of these two is the star of the NBA's top team and the boss of the team, who has led the team to fight in the playoffs many times, and has long had a big heart.

The other is the leader of the Chinese men's basketball team after Da Yao's retirement, and he also won the NBA championship with Wang Xiao.

After Wang Xiao finished speaking, the captain Yi Jianlian took the initiative to take a step and put his hand in the middle.

The other players spontaneously stepped forward and put their hands on it.

"Brothers, we are one last step away! Think about it! Champion! The Olympic gold medal is just around the corner! It's just a step away from us! Many years later, when you are old, you will definitely recall this moment today, which will be the most glorious moment that we will never forget for the rest of our lives! ”

"Come on!"

"Come on !!!"

The hands of the players gathered together pressed down fiercely, and their voices were neat and resolute.

……

The game officially began, and players from both sides took the stage.

The starting line-ups of both teams are the same as in the group stage, and the United States team has not made any changes, and the starting center is still DeMarcus. Cousins, not defensive stalwart Dunn.

Obviously, Coach K also felt that instead of letting Dunn go in vain to defend Hao Peng, who couldn't be defended by himself, it was better to let Cousins play and use his deterrence on the offensive end to make Hao Peng have some scruples when defending.

When Cousins was on the court, Hao Peng really didn't dare to leave his position casually to help defend others like he did when he was facing Dunn.

However, Lao K still didn't expect, or no one expected, that in the first quarter of the game, there would be a huge variable.

……

Ball games are magical, because no matter how strong a person is, he can't guarantee that he will win, and even if it is a weak team, there is a miracle of defeating the strong with the weak, which is also the charm of basketball.

Cheng Jie,Lei Ji. Miller Growth Template Card Users.

Before the finals of the Olympic Games, Cheng Jie averaged 16 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists per game for the team, which was the third scoring point in the Chinese men's basketball team after Hao Peng and Jeremy Lin.

He's at a high level and strong enough to be an NBA All-Star...... But that's about it.

Whether it's Cheng Jie, or the template he uses Carreji. Miller himself seems to be more or less lacking in front of the American Dream Team.

Five All-Star benches and three All-Three All-Round Team selections, Miller's entire career resume ends there.

Not to mention comparing with James and Durant, even Paul. George's personal honors now also surpass Miller.

However, many times, the strength of a player cannot be measured by simple honors and statistics, such as Miller's most famous matchup with Jordan in the '98 Eastern Conference Finals, and even Miller was called Jordan's "lifelong enemy" for this battle.

In fact, Miller has only met Jordan once in the playoffs in his entire career, and in that series, Jordan averaged 31 points, 5.7 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game, beating Miller's 17.4 points, 1.6 rebounds and 2 assists.

Why is Miller still considered Jordan's biggest opponent among guards when the data gap is so large? Just because in that era, when Jordan had already been crowned the god of basketball, Miller was the only guard who could put Jordan in an embarrassment and even almost lose the game in the playoffs! That alone is enough to establish him as a shooting guard!

Wang Xiao didn't know Reggie at that time. Does Miller really have the strength to drag the god of basketball off the altar, but he is very sure that Cheng Jie at this moment is like a god on the court!

"Cheng Jie received a pass from Jeremy Lin outside the three-point line! In the face of Thompson's defense, he jumped straight and pulled out his hand! The ball went in!! It's crazy! It was his fourth three-pointer in the first quarter! He's already scored 18 points! ”

In the exclamation of the on-site commentary, the old K on the side of the American team's bench was already going crazy!

"Who can stop that guy for me! Don't let him shoot that damn ball! ”

Since losing to the Chinese men's basketball team in the group, Lao K feels that he has made enough adjustments and preparations, in order to limit Jeremy Lin, he did not hesitate to let all the point guards in the team be on the bench, let James become the team's point guard, in order to block Hao Peng, he also formulated a series of tactics for the interior.

But he never expected that when it came time to play against the Huaxia men's basketball team again in the finals, it was not Hao Peng or Jeremy Lin who came out of the Huaxia men's basketball team, but Cheng Jie! 166 Reading Network
