The next day, the result of the Chinese team's upset victory over Spain was basically the front page headline in Chinese newspapers. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Defeating Spain in an upset, the Chinese national team is going crazy!"

"The youngster has a big explosion and beats Spain!"

"The 'wind' rises in Athens, and the Chinese men's basketball team is off to a good start!"

……

But in foreign media, this is not big news.

After all, Spain has not yet risen.

Even more exciting was Puerto Rico's match against the United States, which took place later in the day.

Arroyo, the starting point guard of the Utah Jazz, taught the big stars of the United States a good lesson.

Perhaps in the NBA, Arroyo is only a qualified starting point guard.

But in the FIBA arena, Arroyo, who can rush, shoot, and pass, is undoubtedly a star.

Because of the fear of terrorist attacks, many of the NBA stars of the US team have chosen to quit the national team.

In the end, the U.S. team changed lineups several times, with a center and no center, and a point guard, and only Marbury and Iverson were two fake point guards.

Not only did the interior line not have height, but the two backs were the shortest of all the teams, shorter than Puerto Rico.

To make matters worse, there was not a single real pitcher.

In a FIBA field that is a lap smaller, not having a pitcher to open up space is a disaster for the inside.

For Marbury, Iverson, Jefferson, Wade, and James, it is even more of a disaster for the outside line that mainly breaks through.

The so-called "dream team" hurriedly trained for a month before going on the field.

It's not just a matter of running-in, like Duncan, he hasn't even adapted to the different rules of FIBA and the NBA.

FIBA doesn't talk about not defending for three seconds, and even grabbing rebounds is different.

The others jumped up early to grab the board, and Duncan was still waiting for the basketball to roll out of the hoop.

This is also a common problem among NBA stars.

Because the venue is different and the rules are different, those international players who play tepid in the NBA will be bullish when they play international games.

And some NBA superstars, when they go to the FIBA arena, can't adapt for a while.

However, due to various reasons, most of the American team still has the shortest training time.

So, in the first game in Athens, the American team was hit in the face.

Arroyo blew up the U.S. team's backline alone.

The three main stats of the guards, scores, assists, and steals, are more than the opposing side combined.

The U.S. team actually lost by nearly 20 points.

The media in Europe are saying that "the dream is awake" and "the dream is broken".

After Argentina, Serbia and Montenegro and Spain at the 2002 World Championships, Puerto Rico was added to the victory over the United States.

"Qin lost his deer, and the world chased him."

All the strong teams have confidence and are ready to move.

The Chinese team, which defeated Spain in an upset, certainly didn't dare to think so.

Just like the poor who have just solved the problem of food and clothing, how dare they think of a luxury house and a famous car?

They are wholeheartedly preparing for the match against New Zealand.

The men's national basketball team, of course, lives in the Olympic Village.

They are all three-bedroom rooms, except for two foreign teachers, they are all two-person rooms.

Some team staff even slept in the living room.

The worst thing is that so many people are crammed into one room, and there is only one bathroom.

Foreigners are holding the Olympic Games, and they are not afraid of losing face at all.

Lu Xiaofeng also wants to be like the American team, where sponsors pay for five-star luxury hotels.

But the national situation is like this, "not suffering from widowhood but suffering from inequality", and the men's basketball team can't live in the Olympic Village where everyone else lives.

It's not a question of money, it's a matter of politics, who dares to mess around?

Fortunately, the Chinese are used to hard work and simplicity, and they will make do with it, and it will not affect the competition.

After a day's break, the match between the Chinese team and New Zealand is scheduled for 9 o'clock in the morning, that is, at 2 o'clock in the afternoon Beijing time.

Because it was Tuesday morning and there were no European teams, there were very few people watching.

At a glance, almost all of them are China's five-star red flags.

In the sound of "come on", the Chinese team had an advantage from the beginning of the jump ball.

Lu Xiaofeng still did not start and did not appear until the end of the first quarter.

It's no wonder that domestic fans don't take New Zealand seriously.

Except for Jones, the No. 8 scoring guard, against the Chinese team, the others had no advantage at all.

The "Marx" who didn't play a game with the Spurs last season would only avoid shooting two except for fouls.

The Chinese team only needed Yao Ming to play alone, and the New Zealand team was blown up.

Lu Xiaofeng replaced Li Nan, and Harris sent him up to limit No. 8.

Although No. 8 Jones is a little taller than Lu Xiaofeng, after being entangled by Lu Xiaofeng, it is difficult to catch the ball, let alone score.

At halftime, the Chinese team led by 20 points at 38:18.

Yao Ming scored 25 points alone, and Lu Xiaofeng went up to play soy sauce.

The offensive end passed twice, either Yao Ming attacked strongly, or the empty position was three points, and Lu Xiaofeng didn't exert any strength at all.

On the defensive end, Lu Xiaofeng stubbornly pampered No. 8 and paid the price of two fouls for this.

With two minutes left in the third quarter, Yao Ming had already scored 38 points and only missed one shot.

New Zealand's short interior line can't do anything with him at all, and fouls will only give him points.

The Chinese team 60:35 New Zealand, the lead reached 25 points, and Harris simply replaced Yao Ming.

Lu Xiaofeng led his teammates to practice the sudden scoring tactics again and brushed up assists.

Guo Shiqiang also got the opportunity to play today.

Lu Xiaofeng broke through and made a pass behind his head, and Guo Shiqiang hit a three-point shot at the top of the arc and finally scored a point.

After Yao Ming went down, New Zealand not only failed to narrow the point difference, but was pulled wider and wider.

Seeing that the Chinese team was hanging up one by one, one by one was more accurate than the other, and the New Zealand coach also gave up and withdrew the main force.

Harris didn't make any substitutions, because he was supposed to be a substitute on the field.

He also wants to practice more tactics that Lu Xiaofeng brought to fight.

The final score was fixed at 90:55.

The Chinese team bloodied New Zealand, with a record of two wins and zero losses, leading the way in Group A and temporarily ranking first in the group.

It was an expected victory, but it still made the media exclaim by abusing the opponent so badly.

Lu Xiaofeng scored 33 points in the last game, and Yao Ming scored a higher 38 points in this game.

A super combination of one inside and one outside, officially formed.

The point is that under the leadership of the two of them, everyone else has shown fighting spirit and confidence.

On the defensive end, he worked hard to follow the opponent and ran wildly.

Battle and Moko's vicious fouls almost led to a fight with their opponents.

The national team has changed its previous lazy image.

On the offensive side, Yi Jianlian ran aggressively and repeatedly staged empty catches and violent dunks.

Li Nan, Zhu Fangyu, Zhang Jinsong, Liu Wei, and even Guo Shiqiang, who has few opportunities to play, no longer hesitated, and received the ball in the vacant position, and decisively scored three points.

The reporters all rushed to Yao Ming, who scored a high score.

Although he had 10 assists, Lu Xiaofeng, who only scored 11 points, was ignored.

A few female reporters who couldn't squeeze into Yao Ming's side turned around to find Lu Xiaofeng.

But how could Lu Xiaofeng give them a chance, hurriedly said a few words to Zhao Yuwei, and ran back to the locker room.

The Chinese team has two wins and zero losses, which has equaled the best result of the previous men's basketball team.

For some, the men's basketball team's mission in Athens was completed ahead of schedule.

But "to get Longwang Shu", people's hearts are the most difficult to satisfy.

Netizens, some really think that the Chinese team will win all five games in the group stage.

The next game is against Argentina, and Lu Xiaofeng knows that in his previous life, this was this year's Olympic champion.

At the Athens Olympics, the Argentine delegation was simply legendary.

They didn't win many gold medals, just two - men's basketball and men's soccer.

The two most influential projects in the world have made them win the championship, is it bull or not?

At first glance, Argentina doesn't seem to have any particularly good players other than Ginobili.

But when you look closely, you realize that the NBA players on their roster (now or in the future) can almost put together a starting lineup.

Playmaker Sanchez, who didn't play in the NBA, is a playmaker.

As mentioned earlier, international players in the NBA will become superstars when they get to the FIBA arena.

Argentina is even more terrifying, there are several.

What's even more exaggerated is that these people have been playing together since the 2002 World Championships.

The tacit understanding between the Argentine players, the kind of ghostly passing, is often confusing.

They have leaders, organizations, and tacit understanding, and they don't lack anything, just look at the on-the-spot performance.

Lu Xiaofeng and the players of the Chinese team are not afraid of Argentina.

In the "Diamond Cup" game, didn't you lead Argentina in three quarters?

Although Argentina didn't use all their strength, and the Chinese team didn't exert any strength, who won and who lost, you really have to fight to know. (To be continued.) )
