ps: This chapter is a reward for the Purple Prison Moon and a half!

The semi-finals of the tournament were reached and the Olympics were broadcast live in the United States, with T.NT's golden partners Barkley and Kenny Smith being commentators.

"Hey, welcome to our live broadcast of the Olympics, which is the semi-finals of this Olympic Games for Team USA, and their opponent is China." Smith spoke.

"Hey, you're kidding me? The opponent is the Chinese team? Yes! It's them, they just made history, made history and reached the semi-finals of the Olympic Games, they are the biggest dark horses of this Olympic Games! Barkley shouted to himself.

"This is also the second time we have played against the Chinese team, speaking of which the Chinese team is really lucky, they lost to us by a big score in the first game, but then they met the French who were injured by Joaquin and Rudy (referring to Gobert), and then they played against weak teams like Australia and Venezuela in a row, and the quarter-finals were against the less strong Brazilians, I think there is no better schedule than this." Kenny Smith said dismissively.

"Don't care about the process, now standing across from us is the Chinese, speaking of which there is also an old acquaintance of ours, Tang, who always seems to be able to appear in the games we commentate." Barkley said as he suddenly turned his head to look at Smith, "Hey, Kenny, speaking of which, the last time you wore it in the studio. The pants are really quite sexy. ”

Barkley said it, and Smithton reached out to hide his face.

In the past bets. In the blog, Barkley is always the one who loses, but in the last warm-up match between the Chinese team and the American team, Smith lost the gamble between the two for the first time, and as a result, he took off his outer pants in public during the show commentary according to Buckley's request, revealing the sexy plaid panties inside, and the ratings of that episode of T.NT reached a new high in nearly two months.

After losing the gamble, Barkley finally pulled one back and moved out at every opportunity.

"We're going to focus on the game, the game, ok?" Smith said excitedly, but as soon as he finished speaking, he burst out laughing again.

"Toot ~"

At this moment, a long whistle sounded at the scene, the warm-up between China and the United States was completed, the starters came to the court from the sidelines one after another, and the semifinals between the two sides were about to start.

Although the United States conducted a live broadcast, there were not many viewers watching the live broadcast, after all, in the eyes of most people, it is really difficult to compare the Chinese team and the American team at the same level.

This can be seen from the number of fans who came to watch the game, even if it was only a Mexico, there were very few American fans who came to watch the game, and it was estimated that there were only four or five hundred people at full play.

In contrast, the reaction of Chinese fans is not a concept at all.

The Chinese men's basketball team broke into the semi-finals, this kind of thing is similar to the national football team entering the World Cup, which is something that I am fortunate to encounter in my lifetime, not to mention that on the 19th, because of the time difference, China time is Saturday!

What a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

Brazil's basketball stadiums are flooded with Chinese fans, who occupy almost half of the entire stadium, and this is despite the threat of Zika!

It is conceivable that if there was no virus, the entire stadium might have been occupied by Chinese fans!

It's scary to think about!

In any case, Brazil's home stadium has become the home stadium of the Chinese team without suspense, the Chinese beauty printed with the Chinese flag, the handsome middle-aged uncle with a big beer belly, and even the family with a family, the only purpose of the fans to the scene is to cheer for the Chinese team.

Regardless of the score, win or lose, this is the enthusiasm of Chinese fans.

When Tang Shuai and his teammates walked on the court, he couldn't help but be moved in his heart, this is the Chinese fans, more crazy than the quarter-game, there is no better help.

He suddenly called the other four starters and said in a deep voice: "Brothers, look at the fans around us, we must not give up, we must fight to the end!" Absolute! ”

The teammates all nodded vigorously, they were already full of morale, and with the support of the fans, they had already entered a state of high morale before the game started.

"Come on!"

The five men pressed down with their hands folded and slammed down, giving themselves one last breath of morale before the game began.

"The Chinese players seem to be in a good state of mind." When Barkley saw it, he praised it in the studio.

"Chinese always like form, but in this situation, even if there is more morale, it is impossible to change the strength gap between the two sides, we have not used all our strength in the group stage, and when it comes to the knockout round, this game will have no suspense." Smith said disapprerovingly.

The Chinese team still maintained the starting lineup for the previous games, and Zhao Haoyan still replaced Guo Allen and appeared in the team's starting scoring guard position.

On the side of the U.S. team, Jordan Jr. did not appear in the starting lineup, and sat at the end of the bench in a training uniform, it seems that he has a good ankle injury, and he should not be able to play in this game, and it is Cousins who starts in his place.

At this time, Cousins has changed a lot compared with when he was first selected for the national team, under the tutelage of the old K coach, he has controlled his temper very well, and has become a pillar of the interior line, although he was not a starter before, but he contributed a huge help to the team's winning streak, and now Jordan Jr. can't play, he naturally appears in the starting position.

Joining Cousins on the inside is Leonard, who replaces George's former position with the national team.

Durant played as the team's starting small forward without any suspense, and the guard line was a combination of Irving and Jimmy Butler.

Although it is only the second team that the United States team can currently discharge, such a starting lineup comparable to an All-Star is enough to crush the opponent.

Cousins and Yi Jianlian, who jumped the ball, although they bounced well, but when they encountered Cousins' tank-like body, Yi Jianlian still seemed to suffer quite a lot.

The U.S. team was given the opportunity to attack first.

Irving holds the ball and directs from the outside.

Although not a point guard in the traditional sense, Irving's dribbling and break-through are indeed the best among active players.

At this moment, he stood on the outside and stretched out his hand to signal the tactical movement, and when Durant's off-ball run successfully attracted the attention of the Chinese team's defense, he suddenly accelerated and rushed directly into the inside.

Yi Jianlian stepped back to defend, but he looked clumsy in front of Irving, and after Irving's continuous cross-step shaking, he had completely lost his defensive focus.

With a low-handed layup, Irving scored his first two points in the semifinals for the U.S. national team.

The American fans at the scene didn't show much mood swings, and Irving's movements were beautiful, but in their eyes, it was just an ordinary layup.

The Chinese team's offense, Tang Shuai advanced to the three-point line with the ball, beckoned Yi Jianlian to come up and make a block, and broke through to the inside line, Cousins contracted the defense, and Leonard directly made up for it.

At this time, I have to say that there is an absolute reason for the American team to be called the dream team, Leonard, or George before, played in the NBA in the No. 3 position, but when it comes to international competitions, they have no problem swinging to the No. 4 position, Tang Shuai will borrow the block and dismantle it at this time, if it is against Aldridge, or a big man like Davis, it will be easy for him to score, but in the face of Leonard, with his current strength, there is still not much chance.

Seeing that there was no chance, he turned around and went out of the three-point line.

Returning to the three-point line to reorganize, he suddenly gave Zhou Qi a good opportunity, but after Cousins' tough physical confrontation, Zhou Qi's shooting action was deformed, and the shot jumped out of the basket, and the rebound was grabbed by Durant, who returned to defense.

The offense of the American team, Irving repeated his old tricks, but this time he gave the ball to Cousins, and Cousins pressed Yi Jianlian to score with a hook hand.

The Chinese team's offense, Tang Shuai broke through again, this time to Yi Jianlian under the basket, Yi Jianlian was forced to be pressed by Cousins, and got two free throws.

But I don't know if Cousins moved too much when he fouled and caused his arm to be injured, or if he was a little too nervous, Yi Jianlian shook his arm and then made two free throws, all of which jumped out of the basket.

The rebound was grabbed by Cousins, and the Chinese team's two consecutive attacks were in vain.

Back home, Irving handed the ball to Cousins on the inside, Cousins hit Yi Jianlian with his back, and the shot after turning caused the latter's thug to foul.

Two free throws!

Completely different from Yi Jianlian just now, Cousins's two free throws hit steadily.

Without his grumpy temper, Cousins showed great dominance on the inside.

In retrospect, Tang tried to score for China, but Leonard and Butler seemed to anticipate this, wrapping him up close to the basket and his offense was ultimately unsuccessful against the two giants of defense.

And in the end, the U.S. team played a fast break, and Durant directly staged a one-handed slam dunk.

The U.S. team played the Chinese team 8-0 in the opening game.

Gong Luming frowned on the sidelines, the coach's ability can only play a role when the strength of the players is equal, and the current situation is of no help at all.

Tang Shuai dribbled to the front court, looked up at the score overhead, and realized that the American team has always been called the dream team, not as they boasted, but by the acquiescence of other countries.

Without James, without Paul, without Westbrook, or even without Howard, this can only be considered a team of the American second team, the starting center is absent due to injury, and the team that was still indulging in the bar the day before, they are still so strong!

He turned his head to look at his teammates again, and the state was completely different from the beginning, after being unable to score in a row, but being scored by the American team in a row, their faces uncontrollably frustrated.

Can't you really beat it? Is it really just his whims? Could it be that the difference in strength between China and the United States is much greater than the gap between the Clippers and the Warriors? Is this a gap that can't be filled?

"Team China! Come on! ”

Just when Tang Shuai's confidence began to waver, there was a deafening cheering sound from the sidelines in his ears.

Even though the start was unfavorable, the Chinese fans didn't seem to give up at all! (To be continued.) )
