Chapter 436 Against Australia
Eden and the other men's basketball players naturally know that Australia's strength is definitely not comparable to the British team, so they are not too optimistic about the next game.
In terms of stars, the two teams are about the same, but the average quality of the players in the Australian team is definitely much better than that of the British team.
Especially at Bogut's point, everyone is still very worried that Yi Dun will be deflated on him.
……
On the night after the game, Sun Yue's injury check results came out, the injury was more serious, although it will not completely abolish his career, but at least he will definitely not be able to play in the next few games.
As for Yi Jianlian, his injury is much lighter than Sun Yue's, but according to the medical team, it is best not to play in the next game.
As a result, Yi Jianlian did not give up his intention to compete, and he was ready to play with an injury.
The Olympics are held every four years, and now Yi Jianlian's career is actually at a low point, and he needs this opportunity to prove his worth.
Deng Huade was noncommittal, and agreed to Yi Jianlian's appearance with an injury.
Yi Jianlian's strength is definitely much stronger than that of ordinary Chinese men's basketball players, even if he plays with an injury, he will definitely be able to play a great role on the court.
Although it has won the British men's basketball team now, the difficult schedule has just begun, and Australia and Brazil behind it, no matter which team is much stronger than the British men's basketball team, it is even more difficult to deal with.
Especially Brazil, which should be the strongest team in Group B other than Spain, Dunward must ensure that the squad is as complete as possible if he wants to win.
"UAE, or you should recuperate from your injury, and in the next game against Australia, you can rest assured that you can recuperate, and we will definitely win."
"As for the Brazil game, look at your recovery, and if you recover well, you'll be on the pitch again?" Yi Dun said to Yi Jianlian.
He didn't want Yi Jianlian to have any accidents, in case Yi Jianlian was injured and injured in the game, it would be too much to lose.
After cultivating a Yi Jianlian for so many years, no one wants Yi Jianlian to leave the arena prematurely.
"Don't convince me, Yi Dun, my injury is not serious, it is just a simple sprained foot, and it is not a big problem to play in two days, and it will have little impact on my condition."
"Don't worry, I know in my heart, it's impossible to use my career to be a hero, if the injury is really serious, it doesn't make any sense for me to appear." Yi Jianlian said stubbornly, obviously he had already made up his mind to appear.
Eden shrugged, "Okay, then listen to you, anyway, we can definitely win this game against Australia, and we have to win." ”
"Oh? Why so confident? Yi Jianlian asked with a smile.
"I found that you overestimated the threat that Bogut was to me, I have watched him in a few games before, and the defense under the basket is indeed hard and ruthless, but I am harder and more ruthless than him, he can't prevent me!"
Yi Dun said this confidently, he had indeed watched a few Bogut games before, and this player also left a deep impression on Yi Dun.
First of all, Bogut's defense is quite rough, which is a more urbane way of saying it, and an unrefined way of saying it is dirty.
Not only do I like to find physical confrontations, but there are also a lot of small movements under my hands and feet, which is definitely a nightmare for some breakthrough outside players.
However, in Yi Dun's opinion, his small movements were small insect carving skills, and they could not have any impact on him.
At the beginning of Bogut's career, his offensive strength was still good, but then he became more and more awkward on the offensive end, and gradually became a blue-collar center.
But because of his slow movement speed and lack of jumping ability, his rebounding is not very good.
A center with little offensive ability and no rebounding ability, Eden doesn't believe this Bogut can lead Australia to victory.
Yi Jianlian listened to Yi Dun's words, nodded and said, "It's good that you have confidence, but you still have to be careful." ”
"First of all, be careful not to get hurt, you should know very well that once you are injured, the loss will be too great, and we will directly enter a desperate situation."
"Secondly, you have to control your temper, the Bogut on the court is likely to keep provoking you, and you don't want to move the game on the basketball court when the time comes."
"Although, I know very well that if it's really in the fighting arena, the two Bogut can beat you don't know your own mother, but after all, this is a basketball game, if you really fight, you will definitely be banned, think about what we should do after you are banned."
"So, bear with it if you can." Yi Jianlian sighed and said.
Yi Jianlian is the player who knows Bogut the most in China, after all, he played with Bogut in the Bucks in his first year in the NBA.
At that time, Bogut was the center of the Bucks, and Yi Jianlian was the starting power forward, and Yi Jianlian naturally knew Bogut's temperament very well.
First of all, this Bogut is not a good stubble, which Yi Jianlian knows better than anyone else.
Secondly, there is such a big conflict between Eden and the Australian, how can this Bogut be a good boy on the field.
Therefore, Yi Jianlian is very worried that during the game, Yi Dun and Bogut will brew a big conflict and have a brawl, which will definitely not be a good thing for the Chinese men's basketball team.
Undoubtedly, Yi Jianlian's words deeply reflect his character, but it cannot be said to be cowardly, and it is more appropriate to describe it with calm knowledge.
However, this is obviously not Yi Dun's character, Yi Dun's character is ugly to say, it is that he will be revenged, and he belongs to the kind of master who will repay his kindness and revenge.
"Okay, I'll try to be restrained." Yi Dun smiled and nodded in agreement.
……
On the second day of the men's basketball match against Great Britain, Eden participated in the men's hammer throw final and won the gold medal, changing his total number of gold medals to 19.
This gold medal is still of great significance, marking that Eden has completely surpassed Phelps and become the athlete with the most gold medals in Olympic history, which will forever be recorded in the history of sports.
On the morning of the race against Australia, Eden won the gold medal again in the men's marathon, and since then Eden has successfully won his 20th Olympic gold medal.
The total number of gold medals in a single Olympic Games has also come to 18!
It's amazing to think about it, Phelps has won a total of 18 gold medals in the Olympic Games for so many years, and as a result, Eden won 18 gold medals directly in just one Olympic Games!
With the end of this marathon, all events except basketball in this Olympic Games are over, and the eighteen gold medals are definitely a grand slam.
Now everyone's attention is on Yi Dun's basketball schedule, and how far the Chinese men's basketball team can go in this Olympic Games depends on Yi Dun's performance.
Because they had just finished a marathon in the morning, some fans were worried about whether it would affect Eden's evening race against Australia.
For the other players, that will definitely have an impact, and it will certainly be quite a bit.
However, for EDUN, the impact can be said to be almost negligible.
The number of basketball fans in China is terrifying, and if it were to form a country, it would definitely be one of the top 20 countries in the world in terms of population, or even the top 10.
So many fans are now all looking at Eden with blank eyes, hoping that Eden can continue to create miracles.
Not to mention that he can lead the Chinese men's basketball team to win the championship, after all, this requirement is a bit too unrealistic, but it can be called a miracle, and it has to have a historic breakthrough in terms of results.
The previous best result in the history of the Chinese men's basketball team was eighth, and if it can be counted as a historic breakthrough, in fact, Yi Dun does not need to do much, only need to win the opponent in the quarterfinals.
In other words, winning one more game than the Chinese men's basketball team in Yao Ming's era is a historic breakthrough.
……
"It's just luck, it's not the wild era of basketball anymore, and he wants to score more than 30 points on me at his height, do you believe it?"
"I'm not Mullins, don't compare me to Mullins, in the next game, Eden will definitely be the same, he doesn't have the kind of dominance on the pitch that you say."
"I remember Eaton once saying that the Australians would never be able to beat him in the games he played, which is a very interesting quote and hopefully after this fight, Eatun will be able to say the same thing again."
Bogut spoke to reporters on the day of the match, and he was not ashamed to speak out to reporters.
It is normal for Bogut to be able to say this kind of thing, if it is really a gentle praise of Yidun, then this Bogut must be a fake Bogut, and it is likely that he is possessed by aliens.
With the focus of attention all over the world, it is natural that countless reporters have come to the door to interview Yiden's views on tonight's game.
It is rare that Yi Dun did not refuse the interview this time, and chatted with the reporter for more than ten minutes very cooperatively.
"I'm still saying that as long as I'm on the court, no Australian wants to win a game, no matter what the game is, even if it's a team sport like basketball."
"Besides, I don't know who Bogut you just talked about, everyone knows that I'm so busy every day that I don't have time to learn about this kind of nobody."
"I've been in the industry for so many years, and there have been quite a few people who have provoked me, but so far, no one has ever ended well, and I hope Bogut will break this convention." Yi Dun smiled at the reporter.
The game has not even started, and the gunpowder smell of the players on both sides is quite strong, resulting in this game attracting no less attention in the world than the game of the American Dream Team.
How could this kind of moment be without the figure of TNT commentator O'Neill.
The way Yi Dun beat the British team two days ago really scared O'Neal into peeing, and if he was at his peak, he could do it.
To be precise, O'Neal feels that he can definitely do it, and even more amazing than Eden's stats, and of course, the assist stats are certainly not as good as Eden's.
O'Neal's name is actually right, with O'Neal's peak strength to play a second-tier center in the league like Mullins, if you don't play 30+10, it is definitely an abnormal performance.
But is O'Neill still in his prime? Compared with the strength at the peak, there may not be one in ten, thinking of the big words I released at the beginning, what should I do now?
Really go to London to block Edun? Can this still be said to be a blockade? Are you sure it's not a door-to-door abuse?
There was no game for the U.S. team tonight, and TNT broadcast the Chinese men's basketball team against Australia live, and there was still half an hour before the game began, and the three of them were already chatting in the commentary room.
"Shaq, have you bought your ticket to London? If you don't buy it, I can have someone buy it for you. ”
"Seriously, I'm looking forward to you beating Yi Dun in heads-up, look at Yi Dun playing the British team that night, he is really not human, you should go and sanction him!" Barkley smirked at O'Neal.
O'Neill's face turned red, and he knew that Barkley would definitely hold on to it.
"The ticket has already been bought, I am not a person who breaks my promise, and when the Chinese men's basketball team is eliminated, I will appear in London, and then complete the bet with you." O'Neill said stiffly.
Kenny Smith on the side hurriedly changed the topic, "Shaq, Charles, how far do you think the Chinese men's basketball team can go this time?" ”
Barkley shook his head, "I don't know, I feel like they're going to finish fourth in the group and then they're going to be eliminated in the quarter-finals, so I feel like they're definitely still in the same place, they're going to finish eighth." ”
According to Barkley, the Chinese men's basketball team will win one game and lose one game in the next games against Australia and Brazil, and then qualify from the group with a record of 2 wins and 3 losses.
Obviously, Barkley believes that Australia is not the opponent of the Chinese men's basketball team, to be precise, it is not the opponent of Yi Dun, after all, the strength of the Brazilian team is much stronger than Australia.
O'Neill surprisingly did not contradict Barkley, presumably the same idea in his mind.
Kenny Smith was dumbfounded, he didn't expect that these two historical-level celebrities were not optimistic about Australia!
"So, do you think Australia will lose tonight?"
Barkley nodded, "Bogut has a great mouth, but the strength is really too poor, it is no exaggeration to say that in our time, a player like him did not even qualify as a first-time substitute center." ”
Kenny Smith rolled his eyes directly, and here it is again, as if every famous man likes to be thick and thin......
O'Neal also nodded on the side, he also agreed with Barkley's point of view, he is also the champion center, if you want to talk about strength, Bogut really doesn't deserve to give O'Neal shoes.
"Alright, the game is about to start, let's enjoy tonight's game." Kenny Smith said as he saw that the game was about to start.
……
The players on both sides began to enter, Yi Dun looked calm, as the saying goes, there is food in his hand and he does not panic, Yi Dun thinks that his strength can definitely beat Bogut, so there is no nervousness at all.
Yi Jianlian was quite nervous, I don't know if he was worried about losing the game, or if he was worried that Yi Dun would really fight with people on the field.
