“…… What the?!! ”

3 August 2012, Olympic Basketball Stadium, London.

When the Chinese team players who had no game tasks today after a day of recovery practice entered the stadium, they were shocked by what they saw.

"The score...... I read that right?!! ”

The tournament's top seeds, the United States, are playing against Nigeria, who are widely considered to be the weakest in Group A.

Although the average height in Nigeria, reaching a staggering 2.03 meters, is quite decent in terms of physical dimensions. But overall, the strength of Nigeria's players is really not complimentary.

Nigeria is only a team that can get into the top three divisions in the relatively small African basketball world. Since there is no good professional league in the country, all 12 players in the Nigerian national team squad play in the overseas league.

This may not seem like good news for most of the national teams, but it also brings a hidden benefit to the Nigerian team:

Nigerian players have a certain understanding of basketball styles and tactics around the world.

"No, not really......?!"

The Chinese players came to the side of the stands and should have sat down to watch the game and take a closer look at the performance of their number one imaginary rival, the United States. After all, when they came to the court, this game, which started early, had already come to the third quarter of the second half, and there was not much time left for the Chinese team to observe the playing style of the American team.

But the score situation on the scene was too terrifying, which made the Chinese players forget to sit down for a while, and they all stood in place dumbfounded, looking at the situation on the field, not knowing what to do at all.

There are also NBA players in the Nigerian team, and like the Chinese team, there are only two active NBA players: Aminu of the Hornets, and Diogu, who has just completed one of his contracts and has not yet received an offer for his next one, which he also played for the Xinjiang team in the CBA.

In addition, the 31-year-old Odjie is also a fierce general, and he is a very important strong center in the CBA Qingdao team.

Germany, Portugal, Israel, Iran, France, Spain, Venezuela, Puerto Rico, Belgium...... Nigerian players have a global footprint, great depth in all positions, and all of them retain the best things that characterize African teams: the ability to run and jump and the stamina of physical fitness.

It stands to reason that Nigeria is bound to lose against the United States. But in the minds of Chinese players, or in the minds of people around the world who are following the Olympic men's basketball game, the difference in strength between Nigeria and the United States is about the same as that between Spain and Tunisia, and the difference will basically be around 30 points.

Coupled with the fact that the Chinese team won three consecutive games by a large score, now fans have also put the Chinese team into the sequence of the strongest team. If the Chinese team, which is capable of scoring 20 points in Spain, has a game with Nigeria, according to the Chinese team's indiscriminate bombardment style that has gradually been branded with the "Gu Yu imprint", maybe the score difference will go to 40 points.

In a basketball game, no matter how clear the strength and weakness of the two teams are, it is difficult for the point difference to be large.

The reason is simple, when the score gap reaches the level of 30 points, the subsequent games can basically be defined as garbage time - there are games that turn the tables, but they are really rare.

As long as it enters garbage time, the coach of the losing side will generally replace the main player first to show surrender, and the coach of the leading side will also react immediately and replace the main player in the next dead ball, leaving some face for the opponent.

Therefore, when the famous "58" stalk is used to tease Paul, everyone will say "how much hatred this is".

Therefore, when Gu Yu and the others came to the court, they had the psychological expectation that the American team was ahead by about 30 points, and the two sides would replace the substitute players within about 5 minutes to pass the garbage time.

Now on the field, the two sides are basically substitutes.

And the score gap makes people a little unbelievable.

"91 to 50 ......?!!"

Looking at the scoreboard, Gu Yu only felt that this score was so ridiculous.

Less than five minutes into the third quarter, the U.S. team already led by 41 points?!!

No, wait a minute......

The key is......

"Scored 91 points in the third quarter?!! America is crazy!! ”

Chen Mu, who was accustomed to seeing big scenes, was also dumbfounded, his eyes were wide open, looking at the lineup on the field, he only felt that everything was so unreal.

"Westbrook, Harden, Anthony, Davis, Love......? It's already all substitutes at this point?! ”

Gu Yu blinked, repeatedly confirmed that he was not mistaken, and then looked at the Nigerian side, wanting to see if there was also a full substitute over there, but after a little identification, he decided to give up: The black brothers look too similar!

"Oh, just here......"

Just when Gu Yu and Chen Mu were surprised, not far away, a familiar voice sounded: "If I tell you that at the beginning of the third quarter, only two starters were left in the United States, and the rest were all substitutes, you ...... Will it collapse? ”

“…… Paul! ”

GU YU AND CHEN MU TURNED THEIR HEADS TO LOOK, ONLY TO SEE THAT THE SPANISH TEAM WAS ALSO FULLY PRESENT, PAU GASOL WAVED AT THE TWO OLD OPPONENTS, AND SAID WITH A WRY SMILE: "HOLA, ENEMIGO." ”

"I don't understand, you idiot, I can guess what it is, but I won't take your stalk!"

Gu Yu was not polite, he directly took two steps forward and walked to Gasol's side and sat down, frowned and looked at the arena and said, "What did you just say?" At the beginning of the third quarter, the U.S. team already had three substitutes and two starts?? ”

"That's right."

Gasol nodded and smiled bitterly: "Paul and Durant are left on the court, and the other starters Kobe, LeBron, and Tyson have never played at all." ”

"What was the difference at that time??"

Chen Mu stepped forward and asked.

"78 to 45."

Gasol doesn't remember the score, but Calderon, the team brain next to him, does, and replies: "The United States leads by 33 points." ”

"Well, 33 points ahead at half-time against Nigeria again...... It's a bit disrespectful, but it's understandable not to start all. ”

Chen Mu nodded.

"But now the score difference is more than 40, and Nigeria also came off the bench directly in the third quarter? Continue to be abused by the United States? ”

Gu Yu asked.

"No, Nigeria was an all-starter."

Ruhl accosted him, "But ......"

“…… Swish! ”

“HAT-A-SHOT! CAMELO-FOR-THREEEEEE——！！！ ”

On the court, Carmelo Anthony hit an NBA-standard ultra-long three-pointer, turned his right hand into a three-point shot, hit his head hard, and went back to defense.

"It feels good, Carmelo!"

Gu Yu and Anthony have known each other for a long time, and they can be regarded as teachers and friends, and they feel very relieved to see Anthony playing well.

To be honest, Anthony's status in the NBA is now getting bigger and bigger than LeBron, who is in the same class as him. Now LeBron and Wade and Bosh have teamed up to play brother basketball, if it weren't for the great god Chen Mu pressing on his head, I am afraid he would have already gotten his own championship ring.

Anyway, LeBron and others still have a chance to compete for the championship, as long as there is something wrong with Chen Mu and the Philadelphia 76ers, such as Curry's injury situation that is now giving Chen Mu a headache, coupled with the player's playing price and salary restrictions in the future, if Philadelphia declines a little, the Heat can immediately replace it.

And Anthony? New York??

There is no hope in sight.

"Nice feel...... you?"

Hearing Gu Yu's praise, Gasol couldn't help but laugh bitterly, shook his head and said, "Brother hairstyle, you watch the game for a while, do you call this 'good'?" ”

What do you mean......?

Gu Yu didn't understand what Gasol meant for a moment, and reflexively glanced at the scoreboard.

Anthony...... 25 points.

That's good!

Before the third quarter was played, Anthony had already scored 25 points, although it is very likely that he will be replaced immediately and give up the opportunity to Iguodala and others, but it is not good that Anthony can slightly impact Gu Yu's own single-game personal scoring record in this tournament - 29 points!

It's not called "good", what is "good"?

Could it be that Anthony has a lot of shots, is he very iron, and he is very pitted today??

Look at the hit rate......

"It's really not bad!"

Gu Yu became more and more incomprehensible, scratched his head and said: "The hit rate is almost sixty percent five, it's very powerful!" ”

"Hehe, it's not just powerful......"

The Spanish generals were still smiling and silent.

"Dang!"

On the court, Nigeria has long been unwilling to fight, a mid-range shot is outrageous, barely smashed to the basket and missed, and the rebound was picked up by Lefou.

Aggro!

"Whoosh——!!"

Lefou's sense of smell was extremely sharp, and he sent a long pass almost the moment he landed on the ball, and in the front court, Anthony had already made a successful sneak run.

Good chance, dunk!

With a "snap" Anthony received the ball, the dribble near the center circle accelerated, Gu Yu's heartbeat began to speed up, just waiting for Anthony to score a violent dunk, so that the Spanish players could see how powerful their brothers were.

however

"Bang bang...... Call! ”

Without warning, Anthony dribbled twice and was two steps away from the three-point line, with no half Nigerian defender up front

Three-point shot.

“…… Swish! ”

Keep hitting!!

"Damn ......!!"

Anthony scored this goal, Gu Yu was about to shout and cheer for his brother, but the Spanish players scolded first.

"Damn it's the fourth!"

Fernandez looked devastated, shook his head and said, "Anthony is crazy today!" In the third quarter, he has made four three-point shots!! ”

So accurate......?!

Gu Yu was also shocked when he heard this, so what the Spanish players said just now did not mean that Anthony played badly today, but that it was ......

"Smack!"

"Westbrook steals! Team USA fights back! The Nigerian players have not yet passed half the game, and all the players are back to defend! Aminu clings to Anthony and doesn't give a chance, but Westbrook still passes!! The defensive pressure is very high, Anthony has no way to shoot, Aminu has to increase the intensity, Anthony ...... What the?!! Tilt back for a long three-point ?!!! ”

"Hoo ——!!!"

Basketball, flying in the air.

All the voices in the audience disappeared in an instant, and everyone had an expression on their faces waiting to see a miracle, as if they were worshipping Jesus to come to earth, and they did not dare to make the slightest disrespectful sound.

A second later.

“…… Swish! ”

Three points and then !!

"Five shots, five hits! Five shots, five hits, oh my god!! Carmelo Anthony has gone completely crazy! In the third quarter, just halfway through the third quarter, Anthony had already scored 15 points in a single quarter on five three-point shots! 100 to 54! The U.S. team is about to double Nigeria's score!! ”

In the crazy roar of the on-site commentary, the cheers and worship of the audience rose to the sky.

“MELO！ MELO！ MELO！ MELO！ ”

The magical Anthony has become a god on the court at this moment, and while his personal score has reached 31 points, he has also neatly broken the record set by Gu Yu.

After that, the two sides continued to change players, and the players at the very edge of the bench appeared one after another.

Coach K continued to let Anthony play for 3 minutes, and Anthony, who was completely insane, also continued to burn and loot, leaning back, strengthening under the basket, cutting to the basket, and finally being substituted after scoring another 6 points.

"Finally ......"

When Anthony came off the field, Gu Yu even saw that many Nigerian players breathed a sigh of relief, like a demon on the field, finally going back to hell.

Anthony's personal score was fixed at 37 points, which greatly refreshed the record set by Gu Yu.

Half an hour later, the American team, which returned from the king, gave the most terrifying torture performance in the past 20 years to the world basketball world.
