"Nervous ......?"

July 29, 2012, 10 p.m. Beijing time.

London 2012 Olympic Games, the main venue for men's basketball events.

"Nervous ......? Lao Tzu's nickname is not panicked! ”

Gu Yu shook his head and sat down, comparing with Chen Mu.

On the court, the first day of the men's basketball group stage is underway, and the third game of the day, the first quarter has been played.

With Berclo hitting a three-pointer from the left wing, France was only 21-22 at the end of the first quarter, trailing the top seed of the tournament, the United States.

"It's good not to be nervous, do you see Berclo?"

Chen Mu pointed to Berkelo, who was celebrating with his teammates on the sidelines for the wonderful three-point whistle just now.

"See, it's amazing."

Gu Yu nodded, although he was very arrogant, he would never belittle the strength of others.

Being able to clearly recognize your own strength and the strength of others is also an important way to improve yourself.

"It's 191 tall, it's fast, it's weak, but it's extremely accurate and fast, it's a good shooter."

Chen Mudao: "And he also has a hand in dribbling and breaking, and he is one of the most important rotation scorers on the French bench." ”

"The scoring sense is good, and the movement of the ball just now is very sassy."

Gu Yu nodded and said: "It's rare to be resolute, but the European outside line is all this virtue, right?" ”

"Indeed."

Chen Mudao: "Now the NBA is also learning from this trend, the kind of guy who needs to aim for half a day to shoot after running to catch the ball, and the space for court activities is getting smaller and smaller." ”

It's faster.

Gu Yu knows very well that in the world of modern basketball, the emphasis on speed has far exceeded confrontation.

The new generation of players is all people who have a speed advantage in their respective positions. In the NBA, a stage full of birds and beasts, every step is slow, and as long as there is a momentary distraction, it may be run over by someone.

This is also one of the reasons why Melon Anthony, one of the peerless duos who had a relationship with LeBron at the beginning of his career, has become more and more distant with LeBron as time goes on.

Among them, of course, there are LeBron's own outstanding efforts, as well as super talent that is rare in history. But if the pace of the game slows down a little and goes back to the early 21st century when every round had to be placed, Anthony's half-court offensive deterrence will not be any less than LeBron's.

In other words, the tactical significance of a player is closely related to the era in which he lives.

This also made Gu Yu think of Bernard King, the king of New York, in Bernard King's era, the speed of the game was fast, and his style of play, which was in the position and went to the absolute low position as an outside player, was actually a little incompatible with his era.

Why can't he achieve even more? Is it just because of his early alcoholism and late injuries?

Not necessarily.

For an epoch-making talent, no matter what era he is in, he can be a dominant force on the pitch.

But for star players who are one level lower than them, the bonus or subtraction of the era is particularly important.

"What do you think of Berclo's strength compared to you?"

Chen Mu asked.

"I'm much better than him, the playoff scoring champion!"

Gu Yu also said part of the truth......

"Now he's scoring ...... 5 points, 2 minutes off the bench. ”

Chen Mu stared at the court with his eyes and said in a deep voice: "In this game, there will probably be no more scores." ”

…… Well?

Gu Yu didn't understand what Chen Mu meant for a while.

However, wait until an hour later.

Gu Yu understood.

“…… Let's go. ”

On the far side of the stands, the players of the Chinese team sat in rows wearing tomato scrambled egg steaks, and Chen Mu was the first to stand up: "Warm up." ”

“…… Walk! ”

The players got up in unison and walked towards the passage.

When he left his seat, Gu Yu turned his head and glanced at the bench of the French team again.

“…… FXXK！ ”

The towel in Berkelo's hand was slammed to the ground by him, scolding Gu Yu in French that he couldn't understand, and his brows furrowed into a hickory.

Look at the scoreboard again, 78 to 51.

The U.S. team is already 27 points ahead.

"Cousin, are you leaving?"

Zhou Peng's voice sounded behind him, Gu Yu nodded, and said in a low voice, "Hmm...... Walk. ”

Berclo did not play again in the rest of the game.

His stats were fixed at 2-of-4 shooting.

5 points.

Half an hour later.

"Toot-toot-toot——!"

The game is over.

“GOOD-GAME！”

The American players, shaking hands and hugging the French players.

There was no special expression on the face of the French, but a natural look, talking to the opponent.

Only Berclo, who looked constipated, did not go on the court to shake hands with the Americans at all, threw the towel, turned around and walked out of the court.

After hitting a buzzer-beating three-pointer in the first quarter, Berklo's excitement caught the attention of the American.

In the games that followed, Berclo received "special care" from Kobe, Harden, Westbrook, Paul, and Deron Williams.

Berclo, who took three shots in the first quarter, made a total of one shot in the second three quarters of the game and failed to hit.

Because he couldn't get the ball at all.

"In this way, the men's basketball competition of the 2012 London Olympics, the first day of the group stage, out of four games, has already ended, three of them!"

At the scene, the live broadcast seats of China TV have already been placed, the narrator Yoga we are familiar with, and the guest commentator Su Jun.

If it is a match day without the Chinese team's game, there will only be Yoga alone on the scene, not because I want Su Jun to rest or anything like that, but because the TV stations of the countries where the two sides of the game are located will definitely ask for more space on the commentary desk.

On the first match day, there was a match between the Chinese team, and the commentary duo naturally arrived.

"In the opening match, Nigeria defeated African champions Tunisia, which was a big upset, because Nigeria qualified for the Olympics through the play-offs."

Yoga, as always, began to show his professionalism, and briefly introduced: "But judging from the team's lineup, Nigeria's victory is not accidental. After all, there are players in the Nigerian team who play in the NBA, such as Diogu, Aminu and others, and Tunisian players, for our domestic fans, are almost amateurs. ”

In the end, Nigeria narrowly defeated Tunisia 60-56 and won the opening goal, and Diogu, a foreign player who once played for Xinjiang in the Chinese CBA League, scored 13 points and 10 rebounds, and performed well. In the second game, Brazil defeated Australia 75-71, which was a big blow for the Australian men's basketball team. ”

"Yes, this time the Australian men's basketball team is still more confident, and I feel that I have a good chance of entering the knockout stage."

Su Jun nodded and said: "Their lineup is quite good, outside scorer Mills, Ingles with NBA-level strength, David Anderson, Dellavedova, and Baynes are all NBA-level. However, this time, the champion Lang Bogut did not participate, which led to a lot of problems in Australia's basketball defense, which was the main reason for their loss. ”

"That's right, the Brazilian team has a lot of NBA-level players on the roster."

"Brazil's Barbosa had 16 points and four rebounds, Hurtas had 15 points, 10 assists and four rebounds, Vallejo had 12 points and seven rebounds, eight points and seven rebounds, and Split had seven points and seven rebounds. ”

"Basket under basket, basket down, repeat."

Su Jun said: "We have mentioned many times before that there are still some differences between FIBA basketball and NBA basketball. In the NBA, you can play a pretty good game without a single basket at all, without the low post of a positional battle. But in the FIBA arena, because of the different rules, it is quite difficult for a team without an inside pillar to go far. ”

"Unless you're Team America." Yoga smiled.

"That's right, unless you're Team America." Su Jun nodded.

"Just like in the game that just ended, the French team also had a good lineup, and the starting five were all NBA-level players."

Yoga said: "Parker, Dior, Turyaf, Batum, everyone is familiar with it. Florent Petrus at the No. 2 position is the younger brother of Michael Petrus, who is now the backcourt of the NBA Magic. This player is tough defensively, has a lot of physical fitness, has a big heart, and is a 3-and-D plus conversion offensive player. ”

"This lineup looks quite reasonable, balanced inside and outside, only a little weaker offense under the basket, but it can be fully compensated for by strong speed and running and jumping ability. But against the United States, France looked like they had no chance. Su Jun said.

"Although the Chinese team may have to be in the knockout stage if it wants to meet the United States, we still have to say it in advance here:"

"Now, it's not four years ago, we can't lie on the past honors and waste our time, we must clearly realize that we are not the top team in this tournament. ”

At the same time, the locker room.

"In international basketball, this kind of fast, agile, projection-oriented, and well-sensed perimeter players are popular. You're one of them, and so is Berclos, who you just saw. ”

The Chinese players are in the final mood relaxation, and Chen Mu is continuing the conversation with Gu Yu when he first arrived in London.

"But at the moment, you're not the one with the most potential in this type of player."

"Yet, yes, who'???"

Gu Yu was not happy on the spot.

"Haha, Stephen Curry."

Chen Mu's eyes lit up and said, "Are you convinced?" ”

"I'm not convinced! In addition to assists and shooting percentage, he is statistically equal to me! Gu Yu shook his head: "And this time in the playoffs, he ...... injured."

"Alas...... The team doctor said that it is estimated that it will be very difficult to change the way of exertion. ”

Chen Mu nodded and said: "If it is changed, he will be an MVP-level player, I believe that brother, brother's vision will not be wrong." ”

"Cut, that's because it's a player on your team." Gu Yu was a little disdainful: "But this time he was injured, it will have an impact on his next contract renewal, right?" ”

"Yes, it is estimated that it can be the price of cabbage."

Chen Mu smiled: "If you play by my side for another four or five years, how terrible do you think his progress will be?" Can you imagine it? ”

“…… What about me? ”

Gu Yu said: "In your eyes, what is my prospect ......?" ”

"You ......"

Chen Mu thought for a while, touched his chin and spoke.
