Chapter 698 - The Perfect Duo and a Somewhat Illusory Dream Team!
With the Chinese men's basketball team defeating Australia with a score of 122-64 in the quarterfinals, the Chinese men's basketball team has also achieved a breakthrough in Olympic history.
Reaching the semifinals of the Olympic Games is the best result of the Chinese men's basketball team in the Olympic Games.
Before this Olympic Games, Yao Ming and most basketball people were determined to fight for their lifelong goals!
This goal, which they have struggled for all their lives and are unswerving, was actually broken through by the Chinese team in this way.
The huge score difference of 58 points is the largest score difference in the men's basketball competition of this Olympic Games.
Playing such a point difference in a basketball game can certainly be called an understatement.
"Xiao Yezi, when you appeared, I thought about such a day, but I never thought that this day would be so wonderful!"
Yao Ming was very excited and emotional.
"Xiao Yezi, every day with you is the most wonderful moment of my career!"
Yao Ming knew very well that what he was saying now was from the bottom of his heart.
The previous Chinese team, that was the Chinese team that belonged to him alone, in the previous Chinese team, he had an unparalleled status.
And in this Chinese team, he is only the second leader, Ye Si's assistant, his status is still very high, but he is no longer supreme, no longer incomparable, but second to Ye Si.
In the NBA, it takes a long time for a player to go from being a big boss to a second leader, even if it is voluntary.
The big boss and the second boss are not only changes in title, but also in their status and tactical play on the court.
In the past, when Yao Ming was still the boss, he could do whatever he wanted on the court, he was the boss of the team, and he had such autonomy.
But now, Yao Ming needs to cooperate with Ye Si, Ye Si can do whatever he wants, and he is cooperating with Ye Si to do these things.
For such changes and adaptations, Yao Ming thought that he would need some time to adjust.
But then he found out that he was wrong, and he was very wrong!
Yes's style of play on the court is too selfless!
is so selfless that Yao Ming is a little embarrassed.
Let's not talk about the other Stankovic Cup and Diamond Cup, let's talk about this year's Olympic Games, he played six games in the Olympics this year, and he averaged 23 shots per game, with an average of 35 points per game, and the specific statistics were 35 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 blocks!
With this data, Yao Ming never thought that he could make more than 20 shots per game per game in the national team!
It's not that he doesn't want to shoot more than 20 times, and it's not just that his physical strength is not good, but he wants to shoot so many times, and there is no one in the national team who can pass the ball to him!
In the past, the balls that the national team passed to him were the kind of balls that he needed to find his own way to win opportunities, he needed to chisel by himself, and he needed to work hard to find opportunities.
That kind of pass makes him extremely expensive for each shot, and it consumes a lot of physical strength to get every shot.
In this case, he can play comfortably, and only when he shoots can he have a ghost!
Now with Yese, the passes he gives himself are passes that he can easily get his chances, all he needs to do is put the ball in the basket, and even if there are singles in the game, there are not so many singles.
His change in the national team was very obvious in the game in Angola, he worked hard in the first half to score 17 points, and in the second half, he could score more than 20+ points in the first half!
After partnering with Yes, he doesn't need to expend stamina in redundant and unnecessary places, he can play to his strengths on the offensive end and beat opponents with ease, and he can also get more involved on the defensive end to get more results.
In China, he is more dominant on the defensive end than the Rockets, and he is the best defensive player in the Rockets!
In the Rockets, because of Roy, his offense is not so strenuous, so the involvement on the defensive end is high.
In the Chinese team, because of Yes, he is more relaxed on the offensive end and more involved on the defensive end.
This feeling of dominating everything at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends is really cool!
One is a big boss who is tired and tired and has no effect.
One is relaxed, to attack, to attack, to defend, to defend, to have data, to have data.
Let you choose, which one do you choose?
The second one, of course!
The time when he was partnered with Ye Si was really the most comfortable period in Yao Ming's life.
Stankovic Cup winner, Diamond Cup champion, all the way to the Olympics now.
In all the games he and Ye Si have worked with, they have lost a single game so far!
For Yao Ming, he now very much agrees with what the team's head coach Younas said.
"Yao, the combination of you and Ye is the most perfect double combination in the history of basketball, even more perfect than the OK combination!"
"Offensive and defensive ends, a perfect fit!"
Of course, in addition to agreeing with Younas's words, Yao Ming also knew a little bit very clearly.
He and Yes are a perfect match though.
But that's not his credit.
Although he has epic finishing ability, his finishing ability is very demanding on passing.
And yes, he can fit perfectly with many people.
But he, the perfect fit is only Yes.
He's not Yes's best teammate.
But yes is his best team-mate.
Being teammates with Yes is really addictive......
Yao Ming's eyes were very strange, and Ye Si certainly didn't know what Yao Ming was thinking now.
If he knew, he would definitely think that Yao Ming was thinking a little too much.
Yao Ming is definitely the best teammate he's ever partnered with right now.
Although Durant is also very good, his maturity is not as high as Yao Ming.
Especially on the defensive end.
If it weren't for Yao Ming's current dominance on the defensive end, he wouldn't dare to surround the opponent's defender alone.
It is because of Yao Ming's dominance-level defense under the basket that he can press the whole court so unscrupulously outside.
Coach Younas is right.
He and Yao Ming complement each other perfectly.
"Xiao Yezi, as long as we defeat the next opponent, we can stand at the pinnacle of the basketball world and face the biggest demon king in the basketball world!"
Yao Ming's eyes flashed with excitement, a scattered look!
With the Chinese team defeating Australia, the last semi-finals were produced, and the semi-finals of the Olympic Games were all produced.
The United States will face Spain in the semi-finals.
The Chinese team faced Lithuania in the semi-finals.
Four teams will compete for two tickets to the finals.
For these two sets of showdowns, public opinion around the world is now in favor of China and the United States.
But there are differences.
In this matchup between the United States and Spain, most public opinion believes that the United States team will easily defeat Spain.
Even the interior of the American Dream Team thinks so.
"Thirty points is still the minimum consumption of thirty points!"
The players of the Dream Team are very confident, Spain only!
Spain is a team with many soldiers in the whole world, and it is true that there are many soldiers, but when you meet Yes, it also proves that this is a bunch of stinky fish and rotten shrimp!
Isn't this kind of stinky fish and rotten shrimp abused as much as you want?
This group of the United States team and the Spanish team, in the pre-match public opinion, the whole world is a one-sided prediction.
On the Chinese side, it's a little different.
Public opinion still thinks that the Chinese team can win, but there are many people who think that Lithuania can win.
The Chinese team and Lithuania have met in the Olympic Games in a row, this is the fifth time, the first four times, all lost!
Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi are veterans of the Chinese team, who were really abused by Lithuania and grew up.
For Lithuania, the veterans of the Chinese team really have psychological shadows.
If it weren't for the psychological shadow on Lithuania, the head coach of the Chinese team would not be a Lithuanian.
Younas is great in the international coaching world, but there are many great coaches in the international coaching world.
When Chinese football was desperate, it chose to learn from Brazil, because Brazil was the strongest object that Chinese football thought could learn at that time.
Chinese basketball chose to find a Lithuanian coach to learn from Lithuania in the finals, naturally because Lithuania is the strongest object that Chinese basketball thinks can be learned.
American basketball is unique and no team can learn from it.
Lithuanian basketball is something that can be learned.
It's just that......
To be honest, Yes didn't think that Chinese basketball invited Younas to learn Lithuanian basketball.
If you want to learn Lithuanian basketball, the Chinese men's basketball team should ask the current Lithuanian head coach Sjepas Butautas to be the head coach.
The Lithuanian head coach, who was named one of the FIBA Top 50 Stars alongside Sabonis, is the inheritor of Lithuanian iron and resistance basketball.
It's just that even if Sjepas Butautas is invited, Yes doesn't think that the Chinese players have the temperament inherited by Lithuanian players.
In Yes's view, Chinese basketball learning Lithuanian basketball is of no use, and it can't be learned.
But in the Chinese basketball world at that time, Lithuanian basketball was the best and the most should be learned.
From this, it can be seen what the status of Lithuanian basketball is in the Chinese basketball world.
By the way, Yao Ming's idol has always been Sabonis, a Lithuanian.
Regardless of whether Yes admits it or not, the Chinese basketball team is about to face its idol, the Lithuanian basketball team, and the pressure that the Lithuanian basketball team puts on the Chinese basketball team is not even comparable to the American team.
In the eyes of veterans such as Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi, Lithuania's opponent may be more special than the American team.
But......
For Yi Jianlian, Sun Yue, Zhou Peng, Ding Jinhui and other relatively young players, the Lithuanian basketball team does not have such a sacred status.
Yi Jianlian also played in the last Olympic Games, but he was a soy sauce player.
So he didn't have much fear of Lithuania in his heart.
Yes can see what the Chinese team needs to overcome in this game between the Chinese team and the Lithuanian team, and as the head coach of the Chinese team, Younas is of course very clear.
"Even though I'm Lithuanian, now I'm representing China, the game against Lithuania, I don't have any knots, my players don't have too many knots, I don't think Lithuania has anything special for them, I'm going to take care of that, and they know very well what they need now, they're going to work hard, the game? Of course, I hope that the Chinese team will go further, but I hope that the Chinese team I lead will win. ”
The match between China and Lithuania is a game full of history, and there are quite a lot of highlights, as the head coach of the Chinese team, Lithuanian Younas is the focus.
When the Chinese team was training, Younas was one of the biggest stars before the start of this game.
Although in the interview, Younas has been denying the peculiarity of Lithuania, but not in daily training.
In the past two days, during the daily training of the Chinese team, Younas emphasized the most psychological adjustment.
The big battle between the Chinese team and the Lithuanian team was about to break out, and during this period, Ye Si won the men's 400m and men's 800m championships one after another.
Ye Si broke the record for the highest number of gold medals in a single Olympic Games in China one after another, and tied the record for the most gold medals won by a world player in a single Olympic Games.
That's right, it's a tie, not a break.
Before the 800m final, the record for a single gold medal at the Olympics was Phelps!
Phelps has won eight gold medals at the Games.
This pool monster dominates the water at this Olympics.
And this water monster was actually close to breaking the record for the most gold medals in a single Olympic Games in the last Olympics, and he had already won six gold medals in the last Olympics.
This time at the Olympics, Phelps finally broke Mark Spitz's record of seven golds.
Of course, Yes also has a chance to break Phelps' record of eight golds.
The swimming program has all ended.
And he still has two projects to complete, marathon and basketball.
After finishing the 400m and 800m events, YES focused all his energy on the semifinals against Lithuania.
August 22, 2008, the day of the men's basketball semifinals.
Before the start of the game between the Chinese men's basketball team and the Lithuanian team, the United States men's basketball team and the Spanish men's basketball team took the lead in a game.
The U.S. men's basketball team easily defeated Spain 125-95.
Ye Si can see that after the United States team met the hard bones of the German team in this game, this time it is ready to brush up on Spain to win more points than the Chinese team.
The U.S. team started the game with a strong aggressiveness, as if they were going to swallow Spain.
The Chinese team can win Spain by 31 points, and they must win by at least 32 points!
But the end result was a 30-point win.
Yes could clearly see how unhappy James and Wade were on TV after the game.
Hitting a wall in Germany and Spain in quick succession made some of the Dream Team players feel as uncomfortable as if they had eaten a fly.
Especially in this game with Spain, they actually only won 30 points, and if it weren't for the fact that they were still on the scene in the fourth quarter in garbage time, they wouldn't even be able to win 30 points!
You must know that in the game between the Chinese team and Spain, the Chinese team could not only win by 31 points, but in the fourth quarter, the Chinese team went on a rotation bench, and North Spain won two points in the last operation!
According to the situation of the game between the Chinese team and Spain, the Chinese team can win with 40 points seriously!
It's good now, they're tired and tired and haven't had any effect yet.
hit a wall on the German team and the Spanish team that were pressed by Yes one after another, which made the Dream Team a little uncomfortable.
Their team, which only surpasses the Dream Team, is a bit empty!
