Turin is the third largest city in Italy, second only to Rome and Milan in prosperity, the largest industrial center in Italy, one of the four major automobile cities in the world, and the largest automobile producing area in Europe. Not only that, but the city has a long history, with a large number of classical and baroque buildings, countless festivals and celebrations throughout the year, and two great teams in Serie A: Torino and Juventus.

When Huaben and the others got off the plane, a chocolate festival was being held in Turin, and the mayor of Turin received the U.S. men's basketball delegation, and before leaving the airport, a group of beautiful girls brought up exquisite chocolates for the athletes to taste.

It is worthy of being the country of fashion and models in Europe, although Turin is not as good as Milan, but the girls are also slender and beautiful, and there is an essential gap with the unrestrained American native girls. Seeing these elegant but elegant and solemn Italian girls, the genital legs of Marbury, Odom and other humanoids were weak, and they held the girls' little hands to express their gratitude.

"How do you contact you, girl?" "Our hotel is in the Icaro Resort, welcome to visit." "I've been in love with beautiful Italy for a long time, I wonder if I'm lucky enough to invite you as a tour guide?"

Hua Ben sneered and looked at these animals in estrus, and secretly said You can toss now, and wait until the warm-up game is over to see if you are still in the mood to pick up girls here.

"@#¥%......" The tall girl in front of Hua Ben smiled and said a string of Italian, but unfortunately he didn't understand, so he could only look at each other blankly, the girl showed a charming smile again, and said in jerky English: "Sir, can you please let go?" We've all been shaking hands for a long time. ”

Hua Ben suddenly realized and looked down, his big black paw was still grabbing the little hand of the girl Bai Shengsheng, he showed a gentlemanly smile, shook his head and said, "It's okay Miss, I'm not tired, let's hold it for a while." ”

Unfortunately, there weren't so many chances, so Brown slapped the unbeatable players with his briefcase and drove them out of the airport like cattle, and the fans heard the sound outside. Thanks to Stern's globalization strategy, even Italy, a traditional football powerhouse, has basketball fans, and Mirisic has entered the Pistons as a European hopeful.

"Hello Boss!" The fans waved eagerly to Huaben, "Goodbye, boss!" ”

Hua Ben nodded in a low-key manner, and sent out a flying kiss, which caused a group of girls to scream, and they wanted to squeeze away from the security guards and rush up. Marbury's eyes were red, and he said sourly, "Ben, when did you have so many little brothers?" Looks like you're beckoning, you can have a night tonight. ”

Huaben glared back at him and whispered: "Nima, keep a low profile, don't you know that Italy is the nest of the mafia?" I don't know which girl is their sister or lover, you dare to seduce them? Don't be afraid to be stuffed into a horse's head in the middle of the night (Earl. The plot from Pacino's film "The Godfather")? ”

Marbury was right to think about it, smacking his lips and honestly getting into the bus, Iverson was quite busy, he had a lot of fans in Italy and even around the world, when he appeared with pigtails on his head, big sunglasses on his face, a wide T-shirt on his body, and big crotch breeches on his legs, the fans stretched out their hands on both sides, asking for autographs, photos and dedication.

The U.S. men's basketball team has only one day of rest here, a warm-up game against the Italian national team on the second night, a game against Germany on the third day, and a trip to Serbia and Montenegro on the fourth day, where there is another game against Serbia and Montenegro.

Originally, this day was used for rest, but which of the men's basketball team can be idle? Groups go out in groups to have fun, and Turin also welcomes these wealthy gentlemen, and the seductive and elegant Turin girls are even more fond of them.

Hua Ben also wanted to go out and experience the exotic atmosphere, and of course, he did: Cheryl then came from England, not specifically to accompany Hua Ben, but her brother had just signed a good contract, and she had the money to travel everywhere.

So, for more than a day, Hua Ben walked side by side with Cheryl on the Avenue de la Liberté in Turin (the Champs-Elysées in Italy), helping her carry her bag, as tired as a dog.

Italy is indeed the kingdom of football, and basketball fans are estimated to be those who go to the airport, walking on this famous shopping street, no one recognizes Huaben, the number one star in the United States, but Cheryl has been recognized several times and asked for some group photo autographs. But the fans' words are really hurtful: "Cheryl, where did you get such a bodyguard?" It's cool, it's really strong, but it's a pity that it's a little bit second-looking, otherwise this physique is really suitable for making love action movies. ”

Oh, and it's also worth mentioning that Italy is also the erotic kingdom of Europe, and although the number of films produced is much worse than that of the book, the quality is far superior to the latter. Besides, is there any quality in this film? Just find a camera and a room.

When shopping, Cheryl was not the only one shopping, she bought several suits and dresses for Hua Ben, and at Hua Ben's request, she also bought him a box of whitening cream.

"Ben, you actually have a good complexion, and you're handsome in black." Cheryl tried to comfort Huaben with tactful language.

Waben put his arm around the little girl's shoulders and laughed, "I'm happy with my complexion, and you'll know what I'm going to do with this thing tomorrow night." "No wonder men and women are willing to go shopping, this is really a good place to enhance the relationship, and before you know it, the two of you hugged me.

The next night, Huaben sat on the bench of the U.S. men's basketball team with a pale face, his eyes were gloomy and his steps were vain, which made Billups and Iverson and others very frightened: "What the fuck, are you going to be a stallion?" How many times do you have to be like this in one night?! ”

Marbury and Odom, who had been looking at Cheryl all the time, quickly retracted their gazes, although this girl is beautiful, it is too difficult to satisfy, right? Even people like Big Ben with a pure animal physique have been made like this, if they hook up, won't they even have to lose their lives in bed?

Hua Ben waved his hand weakly, and said in a hoarse voice: "Don't fucking annoy me, damn it, Lao Tzu almost died in the toilet last night, what an Italian meal, it's just a bowel disc!" Are Italians accustomed to laxatives in their dishes? ”

Cheryl cooperatively handed a small kettle with hot water and a few pills to Hua Ben, and thoughtfully reminded: "Ben, it's time to take medicine." ”

In this way, Warben will not be able to play in the first game, and it seems that he will have to sit on the bench tomorrow against Germany.

Against Italy, the starting lineup of the U.S. team is guards: Iverson, Marbury, forwards: Anthony, Odom, and center Duncan. I don't know the people sent by the Italian side, but listening to DJ's commentary in English, there is an acquaintance in it, the champion of 2006, Andrea. Bagnani.

Hua Ben didn't understand why the Dream Six team lost from the warm-up matches to the semifinals, if the American team lineup is not good, it should be much better than a team like Italy, right? Bagnani is such a terrible person, and he is beaten like shit in the NBA, not to mention Duncan, Odom can abuse him.

Before the game, the U.S. team was relaxed and complacent, as if they had come to play, with Anthony, James, Wade and others gathered on the halfcourt line to see who could shoot such long-range three-pointers. Anthony threw one in his hand, causing the fans to exclaim, to which Melon dismissed: "This field is too small, is this the midfield line?" I thought it was just a little longer than the three-point line. ”

Unbeknownst to Anthony, he revealed the main reason for the loss of the U.S. men's basketball team in this game.

At the start of the game, Duncan and Bagnani jumped the ball, the latter bouncing and reaching well, but when it came to the peak, Duncan could only watch the opponent pick the ball into Iverson's hands.

In the cheers of the fans, the U.S. men's basketball team ushered in a rout! In the later confrontation, the fierce Duncan lost to the 20-year-old Bagnani, who only scored 11 points and 8 rebounds, while the opponent cut 16 points, 7 rebounds, and 4 assists.

At 71:92, the U.S. team lost by 21 points! After the game, even the fans in Italy couldn't believe it, and the fans in the United States didn't want to believe it, maybe this was just a joint play between the American men's basketball team and the Italian men's basketball team? Acting doesn't work either! How can the mighty U.S. men's basketball team lose to a team like Italy? They can't fight, and they shouldn't be able to play!

In an instant, the world sports exploded, all the media were reporting on the game, discussing the results of the game, and the American experts could only say: "This is just a warm-up game, just like a preseason game, it is used for running-in, and it should be played badly." "Other countries don't think so, the U.S. men's basketball team has been entrenched on the stage of world hegemony for too long, and the victory of the Italian team has blown the clarion call for rebellion in various countries.

For this victory, the men's basketball team has its own reasons, Iverson said, 'We underestimated the enemy', Duncan said, 'We didn't practice together enough', James Wade said 'I have no experience in the first World Series', and Brown said 'This team has not adapted to international rules and is still playing according to the NBA'.

Hua Ben, who was sitting on the court, has been watching coldly, in fact, these reasons are indeed reasons and not excuses, the US men's basketball team is indeed underestimated, the joint practice is indeed not tacit, there are indeed too many newcomers, and the players have not adapted to international rules, from the beginning of the game, the failure of the US men's basketball team is doomed.

Adapted to the big field in the United States, the smaller court in international basketball left the players at a loss. Whether it's Duncan, Smalls, or Odom, they're all used to their teammates pulling away and playing alone on the inside. Iverson, Marbury, and Wade are also used to going out inside to free the box, and they come to charge. But that's for the NBA, the NBA is big enough for the pursuit of ornamental surnames.

But this is international basketball, the court is smaller than the NBA, ten big men go inside, there is no space in the three-point line, it is crowded. Duncan wants to play singles? No way, there are several people around Bagnani, you will be caught as soon as you get the ball. Iverson wants to break through? No way, you break through one person and one person, break through two people, and there is a third person!

Italy doesn't have any defensive strategies such as pressing and marking people at all, it's just a joint defense, 1-4 joint defense, 2-3 joint defense and 3-2 joint defense are played in different ways, and they can't be opened by individual ability. If you want to throw long-range, the 12 players participating in this competition, except for Anthony's long-range throwing, can other water still be thrown? Count on AI, Martha, Billups, Wade? I really don't know how the Basketball Association chooses people, the guards actually found four point guards!

With the first defeat, the United States team entered the second game non-stop, and the opponent was replaced by the German team.
