Lu Fei woke up the next day only to find that it was not the Chinese team that appeared in the headlines that upset Spain.

The headlines were robbed?

Well, the U.S. team was so miserable, they were abused by Puerto Rico by 19 points......

I thought it would be a game without suspense, but it turned out to be really no suspense, the United States team was pressed and beaten by Puerto Rico throughout the game, and it is no exaggeration to say that the American team did not even have the power to fight back in this game.

The coaching staff of all teams also analyzed the reasons for the loss of the American team.

The main reason - there are no shooters!

Flipping through their scoring records, Iverson 15 points, Duncan 15 points, Odom 13 points, Wade 10 points, Jefferson 8 points, James 5 points, Marion 4 points, Marbury 2 points, Boozer 1 point.

Carmelo Anthony, the only one who had a shot, even scored zero, which of course also had to do with the fact that he played too little playing time.

Look at any of their players, can they shoot?

No!

Under the rules of the international men's basketball team, you can imagine how difficult it is for a team that does not shoot to play, of course, this American team is not without shooting at all, but most of the players are better at playing inside.

The loss was only because they really felt so bad today.

The strength of the team is still there, and no one dares to underestimate the American team, but this fiasco did make the American men's basketball team lose face, and it also directly magnified the shortcomings of the American team countless times.

The Chinese media still focused on the victory of the Chinese men's basketball team.

Xinhua News Agency: "Congratulations to the Chinese men's basketball team on its victory!" ”

Sports Weekly: "Unexpected pauses, unexpected tactics, unexpected Lu Fei!" ”

Sports Weekly: "Gasol and Yao Ming's showdown! Yao Ming defeated Gasol and the Spanish men's basketball team to achieve victory. ”

Everyone knows that Yao Ming and Lu Fei are the two most important cores for the Chinese team to win, and of course, the return of Wang Zhizhi has also greatly increased the strength of the Chinese men's basketball team.

The three NBA-level starters ensure that the Chinese team will not show weakness even in the face of a world powerhouse like Spain, and another NBA-level Battle can help the team stabilize the situation in the bench time, how can such a Chinese team not make fans happy.

The next day, the Chinese team did not pay attention to these, because the United States team was in Group B, and whether it was good or bad would have to wait until the end of the group stage.

In Group A, Italy, China, and Argentina all won their three matches yesterday, accumulating one point each.

The next opponent of the Chinese team is New Zealand, which just lost to Italy yesterday, although they lost to Italy, but the Chinese men's basketball team did not dare to relax their vigilance, as strong as the American team turned over in the gutter, so the Chinese team soaked in the training hall all day to do some simple training to maintain the state.

Yao Ming's bearded face looks a little haggard, to be honest, he played very depressed in the last game, especially against Gasol, and often encounters opponents, although he plays well, but there is always a feeling of restraint on the offensive end.

Fortunately, I won in the end......

Yi Jianlian was also very depressed, he always scored two points in the last game, that is, that one dunk, he was very envious of Zhu Fangyu who could have more playing time on the court, but he knew that he was young and inexperienced, although the bounce was good, but his body was too thin, and he suffered a loss in confrontation.

Lu Fei comforted him: "Actually, you played well, you got two blocks in a short period of time." ”

"But I only got two points." Yi Jianlian smiled bitterly.

"It's not the score that's the performance." Lu Feizheng said: "There are five people on the court, there is only one basketball, an offensive round down, and only one person finally shoots, we can't judge the hero by scoring, the contribution of the defensive end, and the cover on the offensive end are all places where you do very well, you are just too thin now, and after you practice a little, you can naturally do better." ”

Yi Jianlian felt much better after hearing this, and glanced at Lu Fei gratefully, "Thank you, Brother Lu, I understand." ”

Lu Fei didn't know if Yi Jianlian really understood, he knew that Yi Jianlian's personality determined that he would inevitably care about something, just like after he entered the NBA, fans paid attention to his score every day, and he himself seemed to be affected and cared about his score.

There are more points scored, and the media brags about it, and there are fewer points, and even the words of encouragement have a sour taste.

In fact, whether Yi Jianlian is in the national team or in the NBA in the future, before he becomes a star, the most important job he has to do is not to score.

Especially in the NBA, functional players are more important than star players!

In the NBA, among the more than 300 players in the league, many media say that this is the best 300 players in the world, but in fact, this sentence is nonsense.

The league is full of all kinds of role players, some of whom have a single function and may not even be able to play in other leagues.

But in the NBA, teams need players like that.

And some players may be superstars in the NCAA, but when they get to the NBA, they are completely lost.

There are many such players, and the most famous one is the lonely god in Lu Fei's memory......

So Lu Fei hopes that Yi Jianlian can not care too much about scoring.

On August 17, the men's basketball group stage of the Athens Olympics continued.

The match between China and New Zealand began at the Heliniku Indoor Arena, which was the first game of the men's basketball group stage today.

The starting lineup of the Chinese team is still Liu Wei, Lu Fei, Li Nan, Wang Zhizhi, and Yao Ming.

After the start of the first quarter of the game, Li Nan took the lead in hitting a three-point shot in the bottom corner, and then Yao Ming first caused the opponent to foul and hit both free throws, and then received a pass from Lu Fei under the basket and scored a one-handed dunk.

After the buckle, Yao Ming clenched his fists hard, and he wanted to completely explode the unhappiness of the last game against Gasol.

This dunk turned the game into a crush.

New Zealand originally thought that they could play 71:69 with Italy, only two points behind, although the Chinese team won Spain, but to say that it is a stable win against New Zealand, New Zealand will not admit it, they think that the strength of themselves and the Chinese team is only between them.

But the biggest difference between the Chinese team and the Italian team is that the Italian team does not have a center forward like Yao Ming!

Yao Ming's game completely let the opponent see what a "little giant" is, the opponent's tallest center is also much shorter than him, Yao Ming played 34 minutes, 20 shots in 15, scored a game-high 39 points and 13 rebounds, this score is the highest personal score in a single game so far in this Olympic Games.

As for Lu Fei, sprinkled water, scored 15 points and 9 assists, and almost mixed a double-double.

Other players Wang Zhizhi 8 points, Du Feng 7 points, Guo Shiqiang 5 points, Liu Wei 4 points, Zhu Fangyu 2 points, Yi Jianlian 2 points, Li Nan 2 points.

84:62

The Chinese team won New Zealand by 22 points, surpassing the 21-point difference between Greece and Australia yesterday, and becoming the largest point difference so far in this year's Olympic Games.

And in the absence of Greece's home advantage......

The media sympathetically labeled the two teams in Oceania, New Zealand and Australia, as 'brothers and sisters'.

Speaking to reporters after the game, Harris also praised Yao Ming's performance, saying: "Yao Ming performed very well today and was a big contributor to our victory today...... What the? You ask me why I didn't come ashore at the later time? Didn't you see Lu Fei's negative attitude towards the game on the field? …… In the next game I decided to let him play as a substitute! ”

Lu Fei is also very helpless, the opponent is too weak, what's wrong with me taking a walk?
