Milicic, a center forward with a technical flow, and physical fitness, is really amazing in international competitions! was forced by Yao Ming to lift the Lady of Liberty anti-aircraft gun, and finally threw a goal with difficulty, which was the second goal of the Serbian and Montenegro team in the first quarter!

On the Chinese team's side, after scoring four points in a row at the beginning, the Serbian and Montenegro team was forced to defend with all their strength from the beginning, although it only allowed the Chinese team to score 9 points in the first quarter, but halfway through the first quarter, the Chinese team was already leading by 5 points 9-4!

In the second half, the Chinese team continued to improve the confrontation, Guo Shiqiang, Liu Wei, Zhang Jinsong all came up to maintain confrontation in the scoring guard and small forward positions, and Battle also replaced Yao Ming in the second half of the first quarter, and Du Feng came up to continue to grind defense, at the expense of physical mad dog defense.

The characteristic of the Chinese is that when it comes to this kind of competition on the edge of the cliff, they will become particularly desperate.

The main thing is that seeing Liu Mang, a superstar in the NBA, has always behaved like a mad dog on the defensive end, and others have also played very hard, and collectively started mad dog defense, so that in the last time he played Italy, he faced a naturalized team composed of a group of black people in Italy, and he could still hold on to the end.

At the end of the first quarter, Serbia and Montenegro only scored 10 points, and the Chinese team, with 16 points in a single quarter, took a six-point lead.

After the first quarter, the head coach of the Serbian and Montenegro team felt that it was time for the mad dog-like NBA superstar on the opposite side to rest in the second quarter! Whether it's offensive or defensive, that guy is the most aggressive.

But when Milicic heard the manager's words, he was desperate......

This guy is the devil who can play five games in the NBA Finals without a minute of rest!

And in addition to this devil, Yao Ming was also like a big demon just now, when they had to block Moko's impact on the basket in advance, Yao Ming directly forcibly detained him and Kostic one by one!

Milicic's mentality is a little broken, the head coach of the Raptors is coaxing him to let him improve slowly, but when it comes to the national team, due to Peja and Divac, their country withdrew from the Yugoslav League, and now he is the best player in the Serbian and Montenegro team, all the burdens are on him, the Serbian and Montenegro team scored 10 points in the first quarter, and he got 7 points, the basket was shrouded by Yao Ming, and the outside line was forced to shoot three points by Moko, and the entire Serbian and Montenegro team, who is really lethal, is really the only one.

Strong in the middle, wearing the title of the world's No. 1, but has long lost the strength of the world's No. 1, it is Serbia and Montenegro to talk about.

As long as they are not allowed to play the three points of Radmanovic, Popovich, Spachenovich, Rakocevic and others, and do not let them throw away, the Chinese team will win most of them!

Because, the Chinese team has Yao Ming inside! Kostic and Milicic, the two inner twin towers that have an advantage in many European countries, may be slightly involved even against Argentina, but when playing against the Spanish and Chinese teams with Gasol and Yao Ming, Milicic can only play floating, but he is mainly playing the inside line, mainly in the middle distance frame and low back, and has a talent for medium and long range shooting, but he only turned 19 years old two months ago, and he has not been able to develop it!

……

After the intermission, the second quarter of the game was the same as Milicic thought, Liu Mang continued to play, and Wang Zhizhi took Li Nan, Zhang Jinsong, and Yao Ming, who returned to the game, to appear together.

In this section where he wanted to open the score, Harris chose to use a more stable Li Nan, after all, Li Nan is at the peak of his 30 years old, much more stable than Zhu Fangyu, Zhu Fangyu looks like he is fighting very hard, but the offensive end is really unstable and unstable in this kind of game, and it is still reserved for grinding defense, the kind of "I can't play, you can't fight" posture, the defensive end is still very useful.

Serbia and Montenegro sent a combination of Popovich, Dores Bodiloga, Bogdan DeRobinjaco, Radmanovic and Milicic.

Kostic was replaced, and his position against Yao Ming was a disaster, and he was supposed to deal with the tall lineup of the Chinese team with a three-inside combination, but the result was completely suppressed.

So the Serbian and Montenegro team was ready to use an offensive lineup against the Chinese team and tried to play fast-paced, but the Chinese team took the lead and now has enough advantages to control the rhythm on the field!

At the beginning of the second quarter of the game, the Serbian and Montenegro team attacked, Popovich advanced over, handed the ball to Milicic who was pulled to the high position, and then cut to the inside line, and the cooperation was in place, Milicic received the ball and immediately passed it back to Popovich, turning to block Liu Mang.

Popovich went straight to the basket, a perfectly pick-and-roll pass, standard European play, and then ...... Popovich's flying layup was slapped by Yao Ming......

Yao Ming's height and defensive awareness, just like the contemporary version of Sabonis, came back after a break for half a quarter, and began to exert his power again!

Liu Mang just squeezed past Milicic and picked up the ball, the Serbian and Montenegro team hurriedly retreated, and Liu Mang did not rush to attack quickly, and steadily suppressed the rhythm and fell into position.

Waiting for Yao Ming to settle in a good position, Liu Mang hoisted the ball to Yao Ming and singled Milicic!

Wang Zhizhi is not comparable to the threat of Moko, Du Feng and others, this is the first substitute on the Lakers' inside, playing as a substitute for Malone and O'Neal, and it is based in the NBA with an empty three-point position, Radmanovic was also a Western player before, and he knows Wang Zhizhi too well about the strongest team in the West last season.

Yao Ming has been with Liu Mang for a long time, and he has learned badly, he just hated one, he played hi, received Liu Mang's pass, leaned back, and didn't seem to be very energetic! Turning his head and looking down, he asked, "Hey, are you ready?" ”

"Huh?" Milicic just looked up and let out a confused voice...... "Oh ......"

Milicic felt like he had been hit by O'Neill, for him, Yao Ming and O'Neill, there was no difference, Milicic was knocked into the air, and couldn't help but let out a sound of disgust......

Yao Ming smashed the ball into the basket through Milicic, pushed his domineering left elbow, and Milicic sat on the ground.

Yao Ming turned around and pointed to the sky towards Liu Mang, who had already retreated, his signature celebration was simple and domineering!

Milicic sat on the ground, wanted to cry, and bullied him alone!

"I'm only 19 years old......"

Milicic made a heartfelt voice to Liu three years ago......

In the second quarter, Yao Ming first beat Milicic and dunked two, just like O'Neal, in the FIBA game, after Yao Ming had a teammate who could give him accurate passes, he was O'Neal.

Yao Ming's Olympic Games are the most comfortable one he has played since he joined the national team in 1999, and there are few such opportunities in the NBA, and there are few opportunities to be able to receive the ball comfortably and directly dunk, even Francis did not let him feel like this, the last time he experienced this feeling, it was the All-Star Weekend half a year ago, and he received a few crosses from Kobe Bryant and Nash.

After Yao Ming played two, he guarded Radmanovic and Milicic under the basket, and then, Liu Mang and Wang Zhizhi began to cooperate.

Liu Mang and Wang Zhizhi blocked and dismantled, blocking Popovich, Liu Mang broke into the inner line, and the first blocking and dismantling cooperation relied on Yao Ming to separate Milicic, Liu Mang deducted Radmanovic one, Radmanovic didn't dare to go up to block, and continued to retreat, becoming the background.

In the next attack, Liu Mang still blocked and dismantled with Wang Zhizhi, Popovich came around to chase Liu Mang, Wang Zhizhi ran for a while, the sense of rhythm came, Liu Mang passed to Wang Zhizhi and threw it, and Wang Zhizhi's long two-point hit.

The advantage of blocking and dismantling offense compared to standing pile fixed-point shooting is that you can find rhythm in progress, and people move the ball, but Li Nan has become the most comfortable shot, and the person who defends him is forced to go to the top arc to make up for Liu Mang or Wang Zhizhi, Li Nan scored 3 three-pointers in the second quarter, making a great contribution to the Chinese team's score!

22-13 in a single quarter!

The Chinese team scored 22 points in the second quarter and 38 points in the half! And Serbia and Montenegro only scored 23 points in the half!

beat the Serbian and Montenegro team, which is strong on the outside and dry in the middle, and the core is too tender, to lose its fighting spirit!

In fact, before the start of this Olympic Games, many people said that Serbia and Montenegro were not worthy of inheriting Yugoslavia's world No. 1 position, but after all, there are so many strong players in the NBA and Europe, and the Chinese team was not too confident to beat Serbia and Montenegro.

But now, Liu Mang and Yao Ming took turns to exert their might, Wang Zhizhi, Li Nan, Mo Ke and others as surprise soldiers, plus the hard work of the defensive end, leading by 15 points at halftime!

The morale of the Chinese team has completely been played, and the Serbian and Montenegro team has gradually accepted the fact that they are "not worthy of being the first in the world......

……

89 to 67, the Chinese team defeated the Serbian and Montenegro team with a score difference of 22 points, 3 wins and 2 losses in the group stage! Created a winning record for the Chinese team in the group stage!

Liu Mang got 29 points and 7 assists, Yao Ming got 26 points and 18 boards, they are basically the regular data of the two of them in the Olympic Games, Yao Ming has a stronger passer than Liu Wei, who is "the best at passing the ball to Yao Ming", and he is too comfortable to play, and he can shoot 7 of 12 in Italy, and he can play Milicic...... Take off!

The most important thing is that Li Nan scored a double-double for the first time in this Olympic Games, scoring 13 points, making 3 3-pointers and an empty layup in a single game, and the veteran played his role in this key battle!

Moko was a wonder soldier, throwing in a three-pointer and an air-cut layup, Wang Zhizhi scored 10 points in his normal performance, and there were other occasional sporadic three-pointers, and the role players scored 34 points!

Of course, not only Li Nan, Wang Zhizhi, Moko, other people's defense is also the key, the biggest feature of the Chinese team is that before a player joins the national team, no one will dominate the ball and not let go, and not too many people care about the data, this is the tradition of the Chinese team, everyone sees that there is hope to win, so they desperately complete their tasks, like playing Italy obviously against the loss or desperately to the end, just regrettably lost 7 points.

But not this time, this time, the Chinese team only scored 67 points against the Serbian and Black teams!

And relying on Liu Mang and Yao Ming to score 55 points, the others scored 34 points, beating the Serbian and Montenegro team by 22 points! Advance to the quarterfinals with your head held high!

After the victory of the game, Liu Mang's eyes were a little moist when he saw his teammates cheering together so excitedly after winning, and thousands of Chinese fans on the sidelines cheering.

Just 3 wins at once, so excited?

Yes, Liu Mang was also a little excited, but he didn't go up to celebrate with his teammates, because he was the backbone, even if he lost to Argentina and Italy before, he still had to remain arrogant, he had to maintain that attitude of losing not because he was just a teammate, he had to have that kind of confidence, although it was not very friendly, but he had to have.

Only this arrogant posture can make teammates feel supported by Liu Mang, the NBA's double MVP, just like now.

"Ace, why don't you come and celebrate?" Li Nan ran over to find Liu Mang.

"Cut," Liu Mang turned around and didn't let Li Nan see his eyes, he felt the moistness in his eyes, "Isn't it just to enter the knockout round, what's the big deal." ”

"Haha, Ace, for you, the most glorious moment is probably to win the NBA's double MVP, but for us, being able to enter the finals as the top two in the group is the most glorious moment!" Li Nan said with a smile.

"You've watched too many cartoons, really, I can't tell that you're still watching cartoons when you're old...... Wait, Brother Nan, what did you say? Liu Mang suddenly realized that something was wrong, and turned his head and asked with a frightened face.

"What's wrong? I mean, we're feeling glorious now, huh? Li Nan was frightened by Liu Mang's frightened expression.

"No, the previous sentence!" Liu Mang grabbed Li Nan's shoulder and asked anxiously.

Li Nan was a little confused: "The previous sentence? Wait, I said we finished second in the group and made it to the finals. ”

"Second in the group? Aren't we the third? "Liu Mang feels like crazy!

"Spain lost to Argentina, we have the same record as Spain, we won 17 points per game and won first in all teams, and we beat Spain, definitely we are second! Ace, you look at the big screen. ”

Liu Mang followed Li Nan's words and looked at the big screen above the court.

Just half an hour before the start of the Chinese team's game, Spain was playing against Argentina, Liu Mang didn't think that Spain would lose to Argentina, but he didn't expect that he really lost!

Now in terms of A rent, Argentina ranks first with 4 wins and 1 loss, and the Chinese team has 3 wins and 2 losses, and the three teams of Spain, Italy, and China have defeated each other and are all 3-2, with an average of 17 points per game in Group A, which has climbed to the second place in the group!

Spain is third and Italy is fourth.

In terms of rent, Lithuania is in first place with 4 wins and 1 loss, Puerto Rico is second with 3 wins and 2 losses against the United States and Greece, the United States is third by beating Greece with 3 wins and 2 losses, and Greece is fourth with 3 wins and 2 losses.

"! Something is going to happen! ”

Liu Mang remembers that the United States should be the penultimate in the finals of Group B! I didn't expect the Greek team to be so weak, so I went to the technical desk to ask, it turned out that it was because the Greek team lost to Australia, which caused it to fall from second to fourth!

The first match of the finals will start on August 25th, and the first and fourth places in Group A and the fourth place in Group B and the second and third place in Group B will start on this day to determine the two semi-final places, and on the 26th, the first and fourth places in Group B and the second and third places in Group A will determine the remaining two semi-finals on this day.

The 27th is the semi-finals, both games are played on the 27th, before the start of the 28th finals, the two losing teams in the semi-finals will decide the bronze medal before the start of the final, followed by the gold medal match, to determine the 2004 Olympic men's basketball champion, that is, the world No. 1.

Liu Mang looked at the schedule on the big screen, this is an arrangement that has been decided a long time ago, only 12 participating teams need to finish the game, determine the ranking, and take the right seats.

When you see the English name and flag of your country, you are playing against USA...... August 26......

Quarterfinals! Hit the United States! Liu Mang feels cold!
