Chapter 841 [Making History, Winning the Championship Strongly]
The result of Diamantitis's malicious foul came out quickly, with a two-game ban and will miss 4 or 5 games in the group stage. The Chinese fans were happy, and the men's basketball team ushered in the best opportunity to create the best record in history.
Guo Xu scored 50+ in two consecutive games and led the team to break various records, and the news was all about him after the game.
Other players in the United States have received average evaluations, and some people say that other stars are not worthy of their names, not only Kobe Bryant, who has only played 8 minutes as a marginal person in this game, but also James, who has a very tacit understanding with Guo Xu.
Comparing the Dream Eight team with the Dream Seven team, fans feel that they lost too much in 2006.
"In the face of such a weak team as Greece, James and Anthony couldn't win when they were the core in 2006, and Guo Xu had to win more than 50 points if he went."
"Is the Spanish team worried now? Maybe the next one will be a massacre, and I think Guo Xu will lead the team to slaughter to the end. ”
"I think the only thing that other stars are better than Guo Xu is probably that they have more tattoos, and there seem to be only three people in the American team who don't have tattoos, Guo Xu, Battier, and Howard."
Someone immediately replied: "Yes, Guo Xu will never get a tattoo, and he doesn't allow his girlfriend to get a tattoo, he is always domineering." ”
Recently, Meghan Fox said this on a talk show, and it became a world-famous funny joke.
Meghan admits that she likes to swim nude and prefers tattoos, and she also wants a boyfriend with tattoos. She tattooed a totem pattern of the sun and moon blending on her ankle this year, saying that it represented Guo Xu and her, but Guo Xu got angry and asked her to wash off the tattoo.
This incident made Guo Xu more popular in China, where fans felt he was conservative, while most Chinese hate tattoos.
Confucian culture has always been critical of tattoos, "the body is skinned, and the parents dare not destroy it, and filial piety is the beginning." Another reason for the prejudice of Chinese against tattoos is that tattoos were historically used as a criminal punishment from the Shang Zhou to the Ming and Qing dynasties.
In the past, only the underworld old boy had tattoos in China, but in recent years, everyone has opened their minds and more people have tattooed.
Guo Xu not only stole the limelight of basketball players, but also stole the limelight of all athletes in the Olympic Games.
Ball games have the largest number of fans, and the number of Chinese basketball fans is no less than that of football fans, because Chinese basketball is at its peak, and football has turned from prosperity to decline after the 2002 World Cup.
There is only one person on the football field who can compete with Guo Xu for attention, named Tan Wangsong. Chinese football has become popular this time, and he has shown the world the power of the Chinese kung fu twelve-way Tan legs.
If wushu becomes an Olympic sport, it is believed that the champion of all weight classes will be Chinese, and Tan Wangsong, who is 180cm tall and weighs 68 kilograms, easily defeated his opponent who was stronger than himself.
In Guo Xu's previous life, Tan Wangsong later said in an interview that if he wants to perform well, he has to be tough. As a result, in the 2009 TEDA away game against Guoan, he was tough again at the last moment, kicking Guoan goalkeeper Yang Zhi and leaving him injured, which was a malicious foul on people and not the ball.
Probably like the famous centre-back Pepe, some people can't tell the difference between toughness and lack of morality......
On the 15th, Guo Xu was invited to watch the sprint race.
In this event, the American player couldn't outrun Bolt, Guo Xu went to steal the limelight, he sat in the stands, many people asked him for autographs and group photos, and the cameraman also frequently gave him close-ups.
On the 16th, the United States VS Spain won 113-75, and this point difference made Spain look like a fierce rival at all. Calderón and Rubio were both ugly by Guo Xu.
The 18-year-old Rubio is known as the "golden boy", he is like a child in front of Guo Xu, he can't break through once, and Guo Xu is two steps away from the three-point line and dare not shoot. In turn, Guo Xu passed him again and again, and this kind of 193CM big guard could not defend against Guo Xu.
Guo Xu's crotch dribble changes to the Spanish defender, and it is difficult to defend, and there is no way but to wrap up. Gasol Jr. couldn't play for a few minutes, he and his brother formed the twin towers too slowly, and they couldn't prevent the fast attack of the American team, and Guo Xu could pass him with a cover in positional warfare.
After the game, Guo Xu felt that if his new teammate did not lose weight, the new season would not be of much use, and he could strengthen the defense of the penalty area when the opponent lacked pitchers.
Gasol Jr. is glad that he and Guo Xu are teammates in the NBA, with this kind of boss cover, it is difficult for him to not be able to play data, and the team is friendly and easy to shoot in many vacant positions.
Guo Xu scored 20 points and 13 assists, another double-double, and he has already closed it up, except for the game against Greece, he only played about 30 minutes.
In the final game of the group stage, the United States won by 41 points against the German team led by Nowitzki and Kaman.
Germany's guard strength is very weak, and the two NBA interior lines can't be led, Guo Xu's play can be described as "bullying".
The U.S. team won all of them and entered the top 8, Guo Xu averaged 36 points, 14.5 assists and 2.5 steals per game, and was the current scoring and assist king.
Because of the butterfly effect, the Chinese team changed history, defeating the Greek team with a lack of leading stars 83-79, and the demoralized Greek team advanced to the quarterfinals against Argentina.
They lost 77-96 to Argentina and missed out on the semi-finals, but they set their best record in history and finished fifth.
The U.S. team easily beat Australia to advance to the semi-finals.
In the semifinals, the U.S. team easily got Argentina, which has 5 active NBA stars, and led by 15 points in the first quarter.
There were no surprises in the final between the United States and Spain.
Before the game started, the morale of the American team was high, not because their road to qualification was easier than that of Spain, but because Guo Xu's "Hall of Fame" was played on the big screen on the stadium before the game.
The latest music video for the song is wonderful, with some great goal clips from the previous Dream Eight games, plus some hilarious interactions between the players during training.
Among all the athletes in the history of the Olympic Games, Guo Xu is the first person to bring his own BGM on the field, and it is unheard of for him to write songs and sing for the competition.
There was no suspense in the game from beginning to end, Guo Xu went all out on the final stage, fighting hard at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, not only his own data was luxurious, but also the Spanish point guard who defended couldn't score points.
How badly were they prevented? Calderón didn't score a point, and Rubio scored just two.
They can't pass Guo Xu, and they can't pass the substitute Paul, and if they want to shoot, they have to shoot against others, which is not their strong point. In the face of small-ball tactics, Gasol Jr. is not suitable for playing, and the interior strength of the Spanish team has also dropped a lot.
Even when Serge Ibaka joined the Spanish national team in 2012, Gasol Jr. was firmly in the starting line-up. Because under the rules of international basketball, the twin towers play most teams very well, Gasol Jr.'s penalty area defense is better than Ibaka's, he can also shoot, and he has a good ability to respond, without him, Spain's combination of inside and outside would not be so smooth.
In Guo Xu's previous life, Spain was able to fight with the United States team to the end because the opponent lacked a point guard who launched a fast attack, and the advantages of Wade, James, Anthony and others could not be fully brought into play, so they could only slowly grind their positions. Coupled with the swingman Fernandez's super-level performance, Spain scored more than 100 points in a familiar rhythm.
Now Guo Xu has replaced Kidd as the starter, and the rhythm is so fast that he can't stop at all, and he has been chasing and playing, forcing Spain to speed up. It is impossible for them to lead the American team to play positional, and the United States basically attacks every seven seconds.
In the final game of 127-91, the Dream Eight team won the championship by 38 points with a winning record, and beat the opponent by an average of 49 points per game, which created a historical record in the Olympic Games!
