Harris's words were naturally a joke, and it was impossible for him to let Lu Fei really go to the bench.

There were two more matches in Group A, and in the evening, the results were also in, with Serbia and Montenegro winning Italy 74-72 and Spain beating Argentina 87-76.

In this way, the current result of Group A is 2 points for the Chinese team, Spain, Argentina, Italy, Serbia and Montenegro each have 1 point, and New Zealand has 0 points.

The Chinese team is currently first in Group A.

The opponents in the next three games are Argentina, Italy and Serbia and Montenegro, and at present, as long as the Chinese team wins one more game, it can qualify in advance.

However, none of the three opponents behind are weak, which also makes the Chinese team temporarily ranked first in the group, but it is not guaranteed that it will be able to qualify from the group.

On August 19, the men's basketball game began again.

In fact, the Olympic schedule is very unfriendly, there is a game every other day, for any team is not only a technical and tactical requirement, but also a physical test, the physical strength of the Chinese men's basketball team has always been weak, compared with the European and American teams, obviously not the upper hand.

The first match was between Serbia and Montenegro and New Zealand.

No one expected that Serbia and Montenegro would lose to New Zealand at the last moment......

87:90

Serbia and Montenegro now have a record of 1 win and 2 losses, even if they win the last two games, they will only accumulate three points, not to mention that the opponents in the next two games are Spain and China.

The Chinese team is good to say that they want to snatch a point from Spain, and the possibility is very small.

Immediately following the match between Italy and Spain, Spain easily defeated Italy 71-63 and became the second team to accumulate 2 points.

Italy's record is the same as that of Serbia and Montenegro, with 1 win and 2 defeats, and the next two opponents are China and Argentina respectively.

Both Serbia and Montenegro and Italy will have a must-win point against China.

The third match was between China and Argentina.

During the pre-match preparation, Lu Fei met Carmelo Anthony in the players' tunnel, who had just finished the game.

Carmelo Anthony looked depressed, and when he saw Lu Fei coming, he hurriedly walked over: "Lu, are you going to play soon?" ”

"Yes, I'm getting ready to warm up." Lu Fei was stunned: "What's the matter, looking at your expression, it seems that you didn't play well and lost again?" ”

Carmelo Anthony shook his head: "No, I won, the opponent is Australia, and I won by 20 points." ”

"That's good, I remember the last game you won against the host Greece, so it seems that you are still very strong, and the first loss to Puerto Rico was just an accident." Lu Fei said with a smile.

"What a fart, winning is winning, but I don't even have a chance to play!" Anthony whispered: "I don't know if I offended the coach, LeBron and Dwyane have playing time, but I can only go in garbage time, I didn't even play garbage time today, I've scored zero in three consecutive games!" ”

"What is the reason?" Lu Fei frowned slightly, he remembered that the head coach of the American team seemed to be Larry Brown?

Well, another stubborn old man.

He was notoriously unfond of newcomers, and Lu Fei could only show sympathy to Anthony.

Anthony just happened to meet Lu Fei, and came over to complain by the way, but he can't say much, after all, this is an international arena, and he is here to represent the American team.

At this time, the other members of the Chinese team walked out of the locker room, Zhu Fangyu and Yi Jianlian recognized Carmelo Anthony at a glance, and Zhu Fangyu immediately walked over: "Xiao Lu, this is not that...... That ......"

"Anthony." Lu Fei reminded.

"Yes, yes, Anthony, Carmelo Anthony." Zhu Fangyu stretched out his hand: "Nes spit ...... Tomit again! ”

Anthony was stunned, he and Zhu Fangyu were not familiar with him, if it weren't for Lu Fei's face, he wouldn't have shaken this hand, and after shaking hands, he didn't pay attention to Zhu Fangyu, so he said goodbye to Lu Fei.

Zhu Fangyu looked at Anthony's back and frowned: "Why is this person like this?" What the hell is this! ”

Lu Fei smiled: "Perhaps, he didn't understand your English......

"Am I not speaking English well?" Zhu Fangyu was not happy when he heard it: "You ask Ah Lian, is my English much more authentic than his." ”

"......" Yi Jianlian.

……

Argentina locker room.

The head coach is laying out his tactics, and Argentina's style of play is as much American as it is European, thanks to the fact that many of their players are playing either in the NBA or the Euroleague.

"Did you hear what I said? Our task is very simple, not to be taken away by the Chinese team's No. 10, we have to play our offensive rhythm, defend their center Yao Ming, and then cut off the connection between Yao Ming and Lu Fei, and it is half the battle! The head coach shouted.

The Argentine players nodded their heads.

Scola sat next to Ginobili: "Hey, Manu, will you defend the No. 10 of the Chinese team when the time comes?" ”

"Didn't the coach arrange it? He said let me defend it. Ginobili said indifferently.

Scola pouted: "I don't know you yet, when the time comes, you will definitely go to defend the other defenders of the Chinese team again......"

"Shut up." Ginobili gave him a blank look.

He ...... Is it really that hard to prevent? Scola asked tentatively.

Ginobili was stunned, looked at the position of No. 10 Lu Fei marked in red on the tactical board, sighed and said: "I think Tony knows this question best, he once said that Lu Fei is the most difficult defender he has ever seen!" ”

"The hardest to defend?" Scola frowned slightly, he didn't believe it.

After all, there are many good guards in this world, especially in a place like the NBA, and the Iverson Kobe Bryant Maddy Carter that he knows is a guard with super scoring ability.

But Parker said that Lu Fei is the most difficult to prevent? That sounds a bit alarmist.

Ginobili glanced at him: "Don't believe me? ”

"Yes, I don't believe it." Scola was blunt.

"You'll know when you're on the same pitch as him." Instead of answering his question, Ginobili left the answer on the court for him to find out on his own.

With the notification of the staff, players from both sides of the Argentine team also left the locker room.

Argentina currently has a record of one win and one loss, accumulating 1 point, after losing to Spain in the last game, this game has become a game they must win, if they lose, they will directly send the Chinese team out of the line, and if they win, they will become the same team with 2 points as the Chinese team Spain.

Whether it is to prevent the Chinese team from qualifying easily, or for the team to accumulate 2 points to lead the standings, they must go all out to win this game.

They believe that after the run-in of the previous two games, the tacit understanding between the players of the team has been greatly improved, and whether they narrowly beat Serbia and Montenegro or lost to Spain before, they have played average in terms of form.

This was the third game, and the players were in the best shape and stamina.

As for the Chinese team, physical strength has never been something that the Chinese team is good at, especially in this kind of intensive schedule, which is a great test of the physical strength of the Chinese players.

However, after winning two games in a row, the Chinese media is clearly inflated, and they believe that the team can win against Spain, and naturally they can also win against Argentina, who lost to Spain......
