On August 26, the match between the Chinese team and the United States team was the last game of the day.

Prior to this, there was a surprise match, Puerto Rico upset Spain, to the surprise of all fans, this year's Puerto Rico is really evil, the team that even Angola dares to lose, actually defeated the United States and Spain two strong teams.

In this way, Puerto Rico took the lead in the final four.

The second match was between Lithuania and Italy, and as a result, Italian defender Basile had a convulsion in his hand, and a three-point rain sent Lithuania directly back to his hometown.

In the third game of Greece VS Argentina, Bise finally became normal, Argentina's strength was stronger than Greece, and Argentina won 69:64 in the end.

But after the game, the fans thought, no, Argentina is third in Group A, and Greece is second in Group B.

Is this another one of the following grams?

That is to say, the first three games of the quarterfinals were won by the lower-ranked team, and then look at the last game between China and the United States, it's over, the Chinese team doesn't look at the first place in Group A, but everyone knows that it must be the United States team that wins?

There have been three teams in the final four: Puerto Rico, Italy, and Argentina.

If China loses, the men's basketball tournament will be the only quarter-final event in history where all the upsets have been made.

There is a saying in mahjong, "a thousand cuts, not the first one", now it seems that winning in front is not a good thing......

Before the game, Stoudemire spoke to reporters.

Reporter: "Hello, today you are facing your old opponent Yao Ming, do you have anything to say to him?" ”

"You can't compete with me in the NBA, and you're going to be the loser on the world stage. ”

The reporter relayed his words to Yao Ming.

Yao Ming's eyes narrowed into a line and said with a smile: "Let's look at the data and speak." ”

The reporters didn't understand what it meant for a while, until someone pulled out the data of the two people for this Olympics and compared it, and they all suddenly realized.

Stoudemire averaged 6.2 points and 4.7 rebounds per game, and Yao Ming averaged 19.8 points and 11.3 rebounds per game.

What's the analogy with this data......

However, everyone also knows that this is because the tactical position of the two people in the team is not equal, just like Lu Fei will joke about Carmelo Anthony and say that the substitute should not talk.

The core of the Chinese team is Lu Fei and Yao Ming, although Anthony James Wade is the tactical core of their respective teams in the NBA like Lu Fei, but they are not in the national team, especially the team with many masters like the American men's basketball team, and the personal data has never been very good.

The media has always liked to stir up trouble, and they set the title of this match between the Chinese team and the American team as: "The grudge between Stoudemire and Yao Ming continues!" ”

One of the things Stoudemire is most proud of is stealing Yao Ming's best rookie in his rookie season.

And every time he met Yao Ming, he was as excited as if he had been beaten with chicken blood.

Lu Fei glanced at Stoudemire not far away, thinking in his heart that I am afraid that next season will be the time for the two of you to continue the grudge...... Now, it's not Stoudemire's turn to speak.

When the Chinese media interviewed the Chinese players, the tone was much more tactful, and they also knew in their hearts that they did not have much hope that the Chinese team could win the opponent, after all, the opposite side was the American men's basketball team, which represents the highest level of basketball in the world.

But after all, this game is the first game for the Chinese men's basketball team to reach the quarterfinals, and the domestic media still sent their best wishes to the Chinese men's basketball players.

Harris still didn't participate in the interview, but went straight back to the locker room, and when all the players arrived, he re-emphasized the tactics he had just talked about in the morning.

Soon the game will begin.

Chen Qiao sat on the sidelines, his interview task today was not heavy, and the editor-in-chief even told him to just take some pictures of the Chinese team after scoring goals, and the rest was for him to cheer for the Chinese team.

Suddenly, he was familiar with the Chinese team and noticed that something was wrong, because he saw Liu Wei sitting on the bench?

The starting lineup of the Chinese team has changed, Lu Fei has changed to the position of organizing guard, Zhu Fangyu has scored, Li Nan has a small forward, Wang Zhizhi has played a forward, and Yao Ming has a center.

Can Zhu Fangyu keep up with the opponent's scoring guard?

The first question that popped up in Chen Qiao's mind when he saw this lineup was this, but after thinking about it, it seemed that no one in the Chinese team could keep up.

The lineup of the U.S. team is: Stoudemire, Duncan, Sean Marion, Iverson, Marbury

The U.S. men's basketball team does not have a shooting guard in the traditional sense, to put it bluntly, there is no shooter, and Iverson, although nominally a scoring guard, actually holds the ball longer than a playmaking guard.

Lu Fei glanced at Marbury and Iverson who were standing aside, these two are put together, is one ball enough?

At the start of the game, the two sides jumped the ball, Yao Ming did not touch the basketball without suspense, and Stoudemire easily dialed the ball to his former teammate Marbury.

Marbury dribbled the ball past half court, and when he saw that it was Lu Fei who was defending him, he couldn't help frowning, and he clearly knew the strength of this rookie player who won the best rookie after a season.

After a simple forward change of direction, he brought the ball to a 45-degree angle and flicked it with one hand to Duncan on the inside.

The nominal core of the U.S. team will still be Duncan, although Duncan will be reduced to a blue-collar job for a large part of the time.

After Duncan received the ball, Wang Zhizhi only stuck to him, and Li Nan quickly let go of Marion to shrink the defense.

The head coach of the U.S. team, Larry Brown, had a relaxed expression, he watched the video of the Chinese team's game, although the Chinese team won the game through tactics, but the individual strength of the players was not strong, and they couldn't guard the players of the U.S. team at all from a one-on-one perspective.

Duncan held the ball high under the pinch to prevent it from being knocked out by the opponent, and then chose to pass the ball to the empty Marion when Li Nan contracted, Marion hesitated and did not shoot, and passed the ball to Iverson.

Zhu Fangyu was a little nervous, you must know that Iverson is much faster than him.

"Let him burst, let him burst!" Zhu Fangyu read quickly in his mouth, this was what Lu Fei taught him before the game.

Zhu Fangyu was very surprised at first, didn't she say that the American team didn't have a shooter and couldn't shoot accurately? Then it should be more anti-sudden and release?

Lu Fei just glanced at him, "It's just relative to say that they can't shoot accurately, do you know how many of Iverson's 60 points in a game are shots?" ”

Iverson really saw that Zhu Fangyu's tall head was still so tight, and without hesitation, he changed direction and directly shook off Zhu Fangyu's defense, and rushed into the interior line with one acceleration.

Chen Qiao, who was sitting on the sidelines, looked helpless: "Zhu Fangyu is still too young, how can a breakthrough master like Iverson be so tightly guarded!" ”

Iverson rushed in, very fast, leaving only a back for Zhu Fangyu, who could only barely follow behind.

Iverson makes a layup!

At this time, a figure that covered the sky and the sun appeared in front of Iverson, and Iverson's layup had no choice but to change to a high-throw shot, if it was not changed to a high-throw shot, the ball would probably be covered by Yao Ming.

Wang Zhizhi and Li Nan stuck Duncan and Stoudemire, and Yao Ming easily collected the rebound.

After collecting the rebound, he smiled at Iverson, showing a mouthful of white teeth.

"Welcome to FIBA!"
