Although I wanted to accompany Ao Mei for a few more days, in order to catch up with the quarterfinals of the Chinese men's basketball team, Lin - is a scumbag who has no argument - Yi still returned to Rio on the afternoon of the 16th to join the men's basketball team.

Poor Croatia, do you say it's easy for people to work hard to get a second place in Group B?

You must know that when the head coach of Croatia learned that they would face the Chinese men's basketball team in the quarterfinals of the Olympic Games, Frankovic, who was more than half a hundred years old, immediately mobilized his contacts and asked in the European coaching circle how to deal with Lin Yi......

It's a pity that, without exception, Frankovich got the reply "believe in yourselves, you can do it".

!

If labor and management think we can do it, they still ask you to dry your hair?

As Croatia's leading star, nicknamed "Croatian Linyi", Dario Saric, the 12th pick in 14 years who has officially decided to land in the NBA next season, looked even more depressed when interviewed by domestic media...... Although he has not played in the NBA, Saric with high emotional intelligence does not think that he will be Lin Yi's opponent.

It's just that...... In the eyes of the Croatian media, Croatia, which has Saric, is not afraid of the Chinese men's basketball team!

Sarrich: Bananas, you bala, don't bring such ducks to the shelves!

When the time comes, it will be labor and management who will be beaten, and you guys who watch the drama don't wear such high hats!

"We're going to try to play a good game, and I'm going to try to learn from Lin in the game, he's the greatest basketball player at the moment and he's my idol." Saric modestly said to the reporters.

A reporter from Croatian state television then asked: "Dario, we are also a fighting people, you don't have to be too modest!" ”

Sarich: "......"

Humble ghost, labor and management are telling the truth!

"The Chinese team was the runner-up in the last Olympics and the runner-up in the World Championships, and we will do our best to ......," Saric continued, from the bottom of his heart.

"Dario, you are our pride, prove it to the world, you are not the next Lin Yi, you are the next Dario!" The Croatian journalist continued.

Sarich: "......"

WDNMD, I'm begging you! Don't do it! Is it okay to give a way to live? Labor and management are going to play in the NBA next season, do you want me to be complained about as soon as I arrive in the United States: "Look, this is the kid who dares to challenge Lin Yi without his ability"?

……

On the afternoon of the 17th, the Chinese men's basketball team ushered in the 1/4 finals of the Olympic basketball group stage at the Kalioca Gymnasium, and the Croatian men's basketball team competed.

Speaking of which, if Yugoslavia hadn't been divided back then...... The talent of the Slavs in playing ball is really that they recognize the second, and no one dares to recognize the first.

You know, people play all kinds of balls, what football, basketball...... Including the kind of ball that Harden likes to play the most......

Although this Croatia team is not a world-class team, they are definitely a European powerhouse, in addition to having "Croatian Linyi" Saric, this team also has Babic, Bogdanovic (Serbia's Bogdanovic is Bogdanovic), Pranic and other players who play in the NBA or have NBA experience.

However, Croatia coach Frankovic's pre-match fears were not unfounded.

Because, they can't solve Lin Yi.

If the strength of the Chinese men's basketball team without Lin Yi is between the second and third rates in the world, then the Chinese men's basketball team with Lin Yi is an opponent that even the American team does not dare to be careless.

Don't you see the appearance of the American team in the first game of the group stage?

At that time, if it weren't for Lin Yi's exemption card in the second half of the game, Coach K would have even wanted to play the main force in the second half.

Carioca Stadium, Lin Yi, who returned to the line of fire, did not disappoint the long-awaited Chinese fans and teammates, and in the Sino-Australian war, Kerry played the whole stadium of the United Arab Emirates, because there is a thigh hug, can you not be happy?

The young Saric was almost beaten by Lin Yi, and when the kid was in the opposite position with Lin Yi, he once doubted whether he could play in the NBA......

"Alas...... Once you meet Alin, you will miss it for life! At halftime, Yi Jianlian said with emotion.

"What do you mean?" The eldest nephew asked curiously.

"Because the Croatian kid played Alin too early...... Next, when he enters the NBA, he will be even more skeptical of life. Yi Jianlian explained.

"I still haven't figured it out......" the eldest nephew frowned.

"Don't understand, because you have to be thankful that Alin is our teammate, not our opponent." After a pause, Yi Jianlian then added: "Of course, I'm talking about the national team level. ”

In the end, in this quarterfinals, the Chinese team, oh no, to be precise, Lin Yi did not give Croatia any chance.

85 to 68, don't look at the difference in points between the two sides, but in this game, the Chinese men's basketball team has always maintained a lead of about 15 points.

Whenever Croatia showed the momentum of chasing points, Lin Yi would always use ICBMs or tanks to stabilize the situation.

"Nuclear weapons in hand, I have the world" Xiao Tang can finally understand D'Antoni's mood, because with a player like Lin Yi, sometimes the coach just needs to drink water with peace of mind.

In the whole game, Lin Yi contributed 38 points, 16 rebounds and 6 assists, after the game, in an interview, Lin Yi said: "Thank you to my teammates for supporting me in the past few days, thank you. ”

In addition, in an interview with Croatian reporters, Lin Yi also said: "Your No. 11 is performing very well, he has a lot of potential, his pace is fast, his basic skills are also very solid, I am looking forward to his performance in the NBA." ”

Croatian reporters suddenly felt that Lin Yi was too much, because in this quarterfinals, Saric only got 2 points and 4 rebounds in the whole game, and left the court with five fouls early......

"Lin, is it possible that only 2 points are a very good performance?" The Croatian journalist asked unwillingly.

Lin Yi shrugged his shoulders, "What are you kidding, you don't want to see who his opponent is in this game?" Want to beat me? You can ask Kevin, then Stephen, and by the way, James, LeBron, Kobe......"

"On both ends of the pitch, he (Saric has) caused me a lot of problems, don't you see? This journalist, you are really unprofessional! ”

After hearing Lin Yi's explanation, the Croatian reporters came to their senses......

Perhaps it was because Croatia were so good in the group stage that the reporters were almost forgotten...... Lin Yi, but even American basketball reporters call Thanos the existence of Thanos......

As for this year's American men's basketball dream team, in addition to Lin Yi's teammate Klay Thompson, who is not Lin Yi's underdog?

Six consecutive regular season MVPs, five Finals MVPs, oh yes, he's only 26 years old!

Lin Yi said that Saric was very talented, and he was not joking, but that the Slavs really ...... Born to play ball.

Don't look at Saric's strength is not too strong, but at 208 cm tall, he has the flexibility and flexibility that many small forwards don't have.

Talent on the basketball court is not only about bounce and strength, you know, many people, when they are 180 cm tall, they can do it, when they reach 200 cm, he may not be able to do it.

Coordination, flexibility, balance, rhythm, sometimes far more important than bounce and strength.

The reason why Lin Yi was able to become a bug is because after he grew taller, he could still do a lot of actions that he could do before.

Sometimes, technology can be taught, but talent can't be taught.

……

After the men's basketball team defeated Croatia, while his teammates were happily celebrating the team's semi-finals, Lin Yi and Da Yao started an all-night long talk......

And after learning of Lin Yi's decision, Da Yao was completely embarrassed.

Yao Yao looked at Lin Yi with a shocked face and said, "Are you serious?" ”

Lin Yi nodded, "Of course it's serious, so, brother, you'll have to figure it out yourself next year." ”

Still in shock, Yao: "This is not a problem...... But aren't you worried about your state when you come back later? ”

Lin Yi waved his hand, "Brother, don't you know my self-discipline?" And really, Liz has given me so much, and in the last few years, although I have gained a lot, at the same time, I have also lost a lot, like, I have missed out on the growth of my children. ”

Yao nodded, "I know this, professional players, it's all like this." ”

"Well, Alin, again, I support any decision you make, and I think it's time to let the evil capitalists know that the working people won't always oppress them." Da Yao patted Lin Yi on the shoulder and added.

"Thank you, brother." After getting Da Yao's support, Lin Yi felt that his heart was much more steady.

After all...... Lin Yi knew very well how crazy his decision was.
