Chapter 245: The Final of the Olympic Games
On the world stage, people tend to favor teams that play surprisingly.
It was also crushed to enter the Olympic finals, and people were of course more surprised by the unfamiliar South American eagles Argentina.
Argentina's semi-final opponent is the king of Europe, Lithuania, who have just eliminated the Chinese team with the powerful twin towers, which also makes people expect a lot from him. It also made all domestic fans stay up late to support the Argentine men's basketball team led by Hu Qingniu. If Hu Qingniu can lead the team to eliminate Lithuania, it will undoubtedly be his own people who have helped to take revenge.
Hu Qingniu did not disappoint any of the fans who supported him, and at 139:115, an offensive battle was finally won by the more ferocious Argentine team.
In this battle, the "Demon Knife" was sharp, and he scored 40 points in a battle, breaking the record of this competition. The previous record was Yao Ming's 39-point high score against New Zealanders a few days ago.
is also an NBA player, Ginobili's reputation in the NBA at this stage is far inferior to Yao Ming. But this time, the 40 points that broke Yao Ming's record made many people remember this handsome Argentine long-haired guy with a dashing style of play.
Compared to the soaring progress of the Argentine team, the United States team is in danger in the semifinals this time.
Against Spain, the United States team was still two points behind at the last second, but at the critical moment, "Little Melon" Anthony's three-pointer from 8 meters away saved the entire Dream Six team.
For Anthony, the three-point line on the international stage is his average mid-range shot in the NBA.
The three-point line in the international arena is 6.25 meters, while the three-point line in the NBA is 7.25 meters. Anthony's earth-shattering three-point shot feels like he is standing in the middle circle in terms of visual effects, but in fact, when converted to the NBA's three-point line, it is only a meter away from the three-point line. This distance is normal shooting distance for NBA players, and many people can maintain a shooting percentage at this position.
But the Spaniards obviously didn't expect this, they blocked the three-point line at the last moment, and even blocked a meter outside the three-point line, but they didn't expect someone to dare to shoot from two meters outside the three-point line and near the center circle at this moment.
At the end of the day, the Spaniards led the way to the end with a concerted team basketball, only to lose to their imagination. If they knew that there would be a guy who fired after half the game, they would have to drop their eyeballs.
The melons of this game have little other achievements than a hit. His performance was also limited by the fact that he only played nine minutes in the whole game. Thankfully, Larry Brown remembered him at a critical moment.
Unlike Wade and LeBron, after coming to the Dream Six team, they were almost iron benches, and they didn't even start in friendly matches. Throughout the Olympic men's basketball game, the pair never played more than 20 minutes.
In contrast, Marbury has never been below 20 minutes. And Anthony is a member of the Pistons after all, and there is a layer of mentor-apprentice relationship. Anthony has been a starter, and has been in the past 20 minutes on several occasions. This is also the variable of the Dream Six team this time.
Argentina and the United States will meet in the men's basketball finals of the Athens Olympics, and this journey is basically in line with Hu Qingniu's expected script.
But up to now, there has always been a doubt in Hu Qingniu's heart. Although the Dream Six team is relying on the stars to fight alone, Hu Qingniu found that he had no place to target.
The other party is beating up randomly, how else can you target. As for how Argentina won the Dream Six team in history, to be honest, Hu Qingniu thinks that the Argentine team won very thrilling and unstable. That one relied on the double outburst of Ginobili and Scola, and this one also expects these two people to explode, then there are too many variables.
There is no way, playing steadily is the only way, Hu Qingniu strives to fight steadily.
In the final, he sent the starting lineup of Oberto, Scola, Delfino, Ginobili and Sanchez.
The main change is that Delfino replaces Nocioni, who is an extremely unstable player in terms of mood and strength, and Delfino is more of a team player from the observation of these games. After there were already unstable players like "Demon Knife" Ginobili in the team, Hu Qingniu chose the more stable Delfino to start.
On Larry Brown's side, the duo of Iverson and Marbury Street Ball partnered in the backcourt, Marion and the Suns brothers partnered in the front, and Duncan played in the center.
After more than two months, Hu Qingniu and Larry Brown met again.
The last time Larry Brown stepped on him to win the NBA championship, this time he only needs to step on him to get the title of king of the world. Losing to the same opponent in the knockout rounds in a row within a year is unacceptable for Hu Qingniu.
When the two coaches shook hands before the game, they exchanged a few words of greetings as usual.
Larry Brown said, shaking his beard.
"How prepared are you, I didn't expect my opponent to be you two months later."
Hu Qingniu replied briskly.
"I'm ready to win."
Larry Brown laughed.
"I asked you to be an assistant coach at the time, and you turned me down, because you were going to get revenge on me at the Worlds. But I took advantage of it, and the U.S. team couldn't afford to lose the Olympic title. I've got Iverson and Duncan and you've got Ginobili, it's not a fair matchup, hopefully we'll see you in the playoffs next season. ”
Hu Qingniu also replied with a smile.
"That's not necessarily, what the result is, you have to compare to know."
......
Hu Qingniu was not convinced, Larry Brown knew it in his heart, but he didn't take Hu Qingniu seriously at all. In his eyes, Wei Wei is his junior, and Hu Qingniu can't be called his opponent, of course, he can only be his junior.
He still likes Hu Qingniu, a young coach, who is energetic and energetic. But it is also because of his youth, so there is still a long way to go, using the Argentine team against the United States, although Hu Qingniu has done well, he still does not think that any team can beat his dream six team.
Winning this Olympic title, Larry Brown feels that his coaching career is perfect, and winning this championship has achieved the honor of being the king of both the NBA and the world.
In Charlotte, many people spontaneously turned on their televisions to watch the men's basketball finals of this year's Olympic Games. But a lot of people have mixed feelings, and they really want to support the head coach of the Bobcats, Hu Qingniu, because the coach of the U.S. team, Larry Brown, is the enemy who beat them in the playoffs.
This time, it's not an alternative revenge.
At the referee's whistle, the game officially began.
Manu and Duncan hugged affectionately, and before Manu ran to the U.S. bench and hugged **. In the Spurs family, in addition to the mentor-apprentice relationship and teammate relationship, they also have a strong friendship.
