273: After all, history will be changed
The Dream Team is also very good at the opposite side, but it won by less than 20 points at 90:71, and the fans who didn't watch the game and only read the newspapers and reports burst into tears: the Dream Team they are familiar with is finally back, yes, that's it, with the strength of our Dream Team, we have to win him by at least twenty or thirty points.
Huaben sat and watched from the sidelines, Nima, this game is simply a hotbed for scoring, it is difficult to play a big score in the Olympics, and it is not easy for him to get points from the smart center. In the first game against Lithuania, he only scored 12 points, 10 rebounds, and 4 blocks! Even so, he was the best performer in that race.
Although Hua Ben was not able to play in these two games, he also did a lot of things, such as being a commentator for the men's basketball game for free, and his 'comfortable hosting' skills finally got a chance to perform. Almost all the TV stations that bought the Dream Team's men's basketball games against Angola and Australia have adopted the show hosted by Hua Ben, and he has shown his face in front of fans around the world.
Hua Ben's commentary is indeed more exciting, especially he is more familiar with the Dream Team players, and the explanation is handy, and occasionally inserts a few players' ** questions, so that fans have a clearer understanding of the NBA.
TNT's side has always been no match for its rival ESPN in terms of NBA ratings, mainly because once it comes across the big national live shows, fans like to watch ESPN's live broadcasts, and the witty words of Barkley and Smith make them feel very enjoyable. After watching Huaben's performance, TNT Marketing President Nedro planned to include Huaben in the TV station should be good, but it is impossible to think about it, he is the number one star in the NBA today, and then he was inspired by this and decided to find someone similar to Huaben, such as Reggie, who has just retired and is idle at home. Miller.
After Hua Ben's seven-wound fist fight, the later group stage is simple, Italy and Serbia and Montenegro have not used joint defense: the joint defense is a fart, a group of big men are piled up in the penalty area, in case you accidentally run into something, wouldn't it have to usher in another brawl? It doesn't matter if you fight, the key is to get beaten, and their players are not Huaben's when they are tied together.
In fact, even if the joint defense is not very effective, the Dream Team has played with confidence and found a good way to break the joint defense, that is, chaotic warfare, tearing apart their airtight joint defense with sharp single attacks, so that their orderly defense becomes a mess.
If you don't use joint defense, the Italian team won't have to watch: the first game of the Dream Six team was lost in their hands, so they suffered half a month of scolding and spraying, and now they met in the group stage, so it's not a good way to cut you? What's more, Hua Ben didn't play in that game, the defense of the Dream Six team was not compact and tacit, Hua Ben's defense was lubricating, and he would appear wherever there was a gap.
98:74, Dream Six defeated the Italian team by 24 points, which is the largest point difference so far in this Olympic Games, Huaben cut 19 points, 11 rebounds, 6 blocks, his elusive block made the Italian handsome guys miserable, once made his mother lose the courage to shoot in the restricted area.
Playing Serbia and Montenegro, the two teams continued the friendly and harmonious atmosphere, Serbia and Montenegro team has not used joint defense, according to media reports, it is the head coach of Serbia and Montenegro in order to hone Mirisic and let him grow better on the defensive end. In the Serbian and Montenegro team, Mirisic played the role of a single defense striker, an assistant defense attacker, and a supplementary defense gate on the defensive end, and he really honed a lot.
The friendly and harmonious atmosphere was just a testament to the attitude of both sides, but the game was intense enough, with both teams winning both teams and meeting in the final division, and this game decided the honor of winning Group B.
In the end, it was the Dream Six team with thicker bench depth and more aggressive attack that won, with a score of 85:81, until the last minute, when the scores of the two teams were still scorched together, and Huaben hit a shot from outside the three-point line at a critical moment, forcing the opponent to use foul tactics to get the victory.
Serbia and Montenegro Diaz played well, got 6 points and 7 rebounds, looking at the statistics, he was much worse than Mirisic with 18 points and 9 rebounds, but Diaz played too much on the defensive end, he successfully limited Huaben and Duncan, so that the two NBA number one interior players were almost sent off in the first half: this bastard's acting skills are superb, in the restricted area where you can touch two people when you turn around, whoever touches him is unlucky, Diaz is a reaction, screaming and rolling on the ground.
The main reason is that Mirisic did not play well, and he started to play against Warburn, who was replaced by Duncan after Huaben went off the court, and the defense of these two people has to be ranked in the top five in the NBA. Milicic took 19 shots to score 18 points and shot a miserable 6-of-19 from the field. In this regard, the head coach of Serbia and Montenegro sits firmly in the Diaoyutai, and his task is to make Mirisic grow rapidly, and 2008 is the stage that Serbia and Montenegro want.
With five wins in five games (6 teams in each group), the Dream Six team finally did not disgrace the reputation of its predecessors. James and a bunch of birds began to get scared, there is a big NBA production must be a high-quality product, 03 golden generation teamed up with the world invincible, Hua Ben scoffed at this, if it weren't for Lao Tzu's defensive attack enough, you would wait to be the laughing stock of the world.
Indeed, Wajben has played a major role in each of the three games he has played, with him being the only qualified shooter on the offensive end, lethal from beyond the three-point line, and always helping the team to gain an advantage in key moments, such as his three-point shot in the final minute against Serbia and Montenegro.
Defensively, Hua Ben let fans see the world's No. 1 ability to assist and supplement defense, and his super movement speed and explosiveness made every opponent fearful. In all the group stages, the Dream Team had the fewest misses, mainly because Huaben's defense was strong enough.
After playing the group stage, the 1/4 finals will be held on August 26, and the results of the two groups are as follows: Group A is ranked Spain, Puerto Rico, Argentina, China, New Zealand, and Greece; Group B is ranked by the United States, Serbia and Montenegro, Lithuania, Italy, Australia, Angola. The top four teams in each group advance, the bottom two are eliminated, and then the knockout rounds begin.
According to the Olympic ranking rules, the first team in Group B is the United States team to face the fourth Chinese team in Group A, and this ranking makes Chinese fans mourn all over the field: designated to be eliminated, is it possible that this team that has gathered the strongest inside line in history of China has not been able to break through the fate of eighth in the world?
The fate of the Chinese team is also tragic enough, losing to the Spanish team by a slight margin in the first game, for which the fans once cheered and began to look forward to the beautiful fate of the men's basketball team. The Chinese team is also very strong, winning two games in a row, winning against New Zealand and Greece, which are now eliminated. In the back, it was two consecutive losses, losing to Puerto Rico 72-77 and Argentina 69-75.
In these two games, the Chinese team played really well inside, the starters Wang Zhizhi and Yao Ming swallowed mountains and rivers, and the substitutes Wang Zhizhi and Xiao Yi Jianlian were brave and tough, but their guard line was too bad, it was not generally bad, it was too bad!
Liu Wei, Zhang Jinsong, Zhang Yunsong, and Guo Shiqiang can't stop the defenders of the European powers at all, and the only Guo Shiqiang can still do it, but he is old after all, and in the face of those fast and ruthless European boys, his defense has been beaten into a sieve.
In the next two games, the Chinese team was able to bite the score until the beginning of the fourth quarter, and collapsed in the fourth quarter: the opponent began to press in the fourth quarter, and it would be good for the Chinese team to pass the half, and the mistakes were one after another, Iverson went to watch a game, and wondered: "That ball is so difficult to control?" No way, you just dribble the ball for two hours tomorrow, and no one will be able to break your ball in a year! ”
He didn't know that the guards of the Chinese men's basketball team practiced this kind of shooting when they were idle, and that kind of shooting was not practicing basic dribbling.
At 8:00 p.m. Greek time on August 26, the Chinese team and the United States team officially met.
The starting line-ups of the U.S. team are: center Tim Duncan, NBA's No. 1 power forward, and power forward Amare. I see Yao Ming as a thorn in my side. Stoudemire, small forward Hua. No need to introduce. Ben, the organization of the defender Allen. Today, if you can't steal a double, Lao Tzu will retire. Iverson, shooting guard Steven. Actually, I'm really an organizational defender. Marbury.
The starting team of the Chinese team is: center Yao Ming, power forward Wang Zhizhi, small forward Zhu Fangyu, the combination is Liu Wei, and the scoring guard Zhang Yunsong.
On the field, Xiao Si faked a hug with Yao Ming, then turned around and began to mumble: "Call you the champion, call you the champion, if I don't kill you in a few days, I'll be sorry for my best rookie sign." ”
Almost everyone in the dream team hugged Yao Ming, and Wang Zhizhi also greeted him, Billups, Iverson, and other opponents who were more iron than Hua Ben gave him a hug, leaving the other Chinese team players, these people didn't bother to pay attention - American players believe in the law of survival of the flood of the supremacy of strength, and they are courteous to the strong, and the weak, especially the opponents who are weak because they don't work hard, can only be despised.
Duncan and Battle had an exchange, the two were teammates last season, and Battle was also Duncan's third substitute, so they had a good relationship. Speaking of Battle's affairs in the Spurs, one thing cannot be left unmentioned, the only time O'Neal was out due to injury that season was due to Battle, and Battle, who came off the bench, pushed him casually when he grabbed rebounds with the Sharks, and the Shark, who was invincible in the NBA and boasted of being the No. 1 macho man in the universe, was abolished, and afterwards the Shark asked reporters where did the Spurs get such a figure?
Hua Ben paid attention to his image, greeted everyone in the Chinese team, and then patted Wang Zhizhi on the shoulder and said, "Welcome to the team!" ”
Wang Zhizhi, who has always been expressionless, smiled, and the biggest gain from participating in the Olympics this time was to be signed by the Bobcats for two years and $2.8 million. After observing him for three games, the scout sent by Jordan called him and said that the big man was good, and the defense was a little lost, but the offensive end was very threatening, so Jordan gave him a small contract, for the sake of Huaben's face and in order to please the Chinese fans, the contract was guaranteed.
In this way, Wang Zhizhi can be regarded as gaining a firm foothold in the NBA.
