After winning against Spain, the Chinese team ushered in a long-awaited rest, and they used this day of rest to watch the United States team play.

But then, the Chinese team entered a very intense preparation, because their opponent in the second round of the knockout round was the United States......

The team that Meng Xiaohao never wanted to meet was drawn by them, the American team, the strongest basketball team in the world.

The team that Meng Xiaohao didn't want to meet was the American team, because they were so terrible, and Meng Xiaohao knew that if they faced the American team, their chances of winning would be very small.

But this does not mean that Meng Xiaohao will give up, he still has the backbone of the 5,000-year-old Chinese civilization, even if there is a one percent possibility, he has to give it a try, what if he wins the game? There are also many teams in the history of the Olympics who have beaten the United States in an upset.

"We're going to face the USA in the next game, and you're most familiar with them, he's basically an imaginary enemy of teams all over the world." Wang Deming gathered the team members together.

"Actually, at the beginning, I didn't expect that we would meet the American team in an 8-in-4 match, which is something we didn't expect, but the American team is always a big mountain that we need to climb, and since we met here, then let's compete."

In fact, when Wang Deming learned that the next game was against the United States team, his heart was instantly empty, which can basically be called a death sentence.

In the entire Chinese team, only Meng Xiaohao and Li Mulin can compete with the American team.

If Wang Shengqiang and Li Mulin can stand alone, the Chinese team can really compete with the American team, but now, their pillar is only Meng Xiaohao, which is not something to be thankful for them.

The players of the Chinese team have not yet come out of the joy of winning the Spanish team, they know that they will face the United States team in their next game, and their inner thoughts can be imagined, even Meng Xiaohao, who is usually not afraid of heaven and earth, is also decadent.

However, there is one person who is different, and his eyes reveal a different brilliance from others.

He is Li Mulin.

In the last game against the Spanish team, although the team won the game, Li Mulin was not very happy and even a little angry.

The reason is simple......

He was hidden in the snow at the last moments.

Li Mulin did not play in the last quarter, but was pressed on the bench by Wang Deming, the reason is very simple, he and Meng Xiaohao overlapped, and he was not as good as Meng Xiaohao.

Li Mulin himself knows in his heart that he does not have the overall situation like Meng Xiaohao, nor does he have the excellent ability to handle the ball like Meng Xiaohao.

Meng Xiaohao is a player with a very high ball quotient, a great sense of the big picture and a full offensive aggression.

And what about yourself? It's a player who has great offensive ability, but needs a lot of possession and doesn't like to pass.

When he was in the North American Alliance, Li Mulin was still a substitute, and these problems were not magnified at will, but with entering the world stage, Li Mulin's shortcomings were completely magnified.

The feeling of being hidden in the snow is really uncomfortable at all, watching his teammates fighting on the field, as a starter, he can only watch from the sidelines, Li Mulin is unwilling.

He knew that if he didn't make any changes, he would probably be relegated to the bench, and he had that hunch.

He's got to prove himself and against the USA it's a good opportunity.

He naturally knew the horror of the American team, and he knew that their chances of winning were very small, but he still wanted to give it a try, even if it was one percent, Li Mulin would have to fight for it.

……

"The big picture! See the big picture! ”

When the Chinese team began to play internal training matches, Li Mulin obviously reduced his ball-holding attack, and he was trying to find the position of his teammates and create opportunities for his teammates.

"He's changing!" Wang Deming smiled slightly when he saw Li Mulin's appearance, "It seems that he didn't let him play in the last game, which hit his self-esteem a little." ”

Meng Xiaohao sat next to Wang Deming, he took a sip of water and looked at Li Mulin......

"It's a good thing, when he was in the North American League, he wasn't the most important part of the team, so he couldn't see his shortcomings, but on this international stage, as an indispensable part of the Chinese team, his shortcomings will be exposed, so he will also be targeted infinitely, and at this time, changes must be made."

Wang Deming smiled: "I really hope that Li Mulin's change can become an important part of the Chinese team against the American team." ”

Meng Xiaohao nodded, "I'm very optimistic about him." ”

Although Li Mulin wants to make a change, it is not so easy.

After all, Li Mulin has maintained a lone wolf style of play for so long, and it is difficult to change it in an instant, which is a big challenge for Li Mulin.

Now he is easy to see the intention of passing, and he will be easily cut off by the opponent.

"It seems that he is really not a very good player to pass the ball......"

Meng Xiaohao sighed helplessly after seeing Li Mulin's passing error.

"He made mistakes for a reason." Wang Deming looked at Li Mulin, "I miss you, and Wang Shengqiang, your passing is a subconscious choice, you regard passing as important as scoring, but Li Mulin is different." ”

"You mean, he's just pushing himself to pass the ball instead of going with the flow, right?"

Wang Deming nodded: "That's right, that's why he is so stiff in passing the ball now." ”

"I hope Li Mulin can make a change, if he succeeds in changing, he will be our killer!"

……

The changes made by Li Mulin were seen by the other members of the Chinese team, and they saw that Li Mulin was working hard to make changes, and they did not want to fall behind.

Li Mulin's change has caused a whirlwind of changes for the Chinese team.

But Meng Xiaohao knows very well that in just a few days, other players can't make great changes at all, and they may be regarded as giving themselves a spiritual sustenance by doing so.

"How many chances do you have of winning against the American team...... Wang Shengqiang came to Meng Xiaohao's side and asked.

Meng Xiaohao smiled helplessly and shrugged his shoulders: "I don't know, but the chance of winning is not big." ”

"I can guess that the chances of us winning are slim, but we're going to give it our all, aren't we?" Wang Shengqiang looked at Meng Xiaohao and smiled slightly.

Meng Xiaohao looked at Wang Shengqiang's smile and couldn't help but smile......

"Ahh
