Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Battle of Champions and Asia

"It's actually a four. Show Seven didn't look as bad as he thought, at least his head was clear and he knew when to pause. Although there was an element of luck in the ball, the foul was real. ESPN's McBrin said with some surprise that he had been a little disdainful of Xiao Dash before, but the game he personally narrated finally made a difference.

"Although the rules of FIBA are very different from those of the NBA, there are some shining points in this game. I think he's going to be able to stay in this league for a long time, and he's shown what he has to do to be a great role player. I think he has the potential to be the next Sean Battier. Jeff Van Gundy said with some certainty.

Sean Battier, this is a good player. Although he is not a star, he is one of the best supporting roles in the NBA, and he can even be said to be the king of role players. He has basically taken the supporting role to the extreme.

This is a high rating. At least that's the highest rating in the NBA critics' circle, and people used to say that his template was Novak, an NBA fringe player.

"If we continue to play like this, the game will quickly lose its suspense." McBlin said a little boringly, he originally thought that this game would collide with some sparks, but in fact, from the beginning the Chinese team pressed the Greek team to play. Moreover, I am used to commenting high-level NBA games, and suddenly I am a little interested in commenting on this kind of boring FIBA game, and I feel that I can't handle all kinds of skills and tactics.

McBrin began to lose interest, and the number of fans tuning in to ESPN plummeted. Originally, they came to watch the game because of Spanovis's pre-match remarks, but the picture they saw was not spectacular. And Spanolus, the guy who said before the game, was dumb as soon as he came up, and he was actually taught a lesson by this year's rookie.

In this way, they are not even in the mood to watch the joke.

Ratings are gradually declining.

The game on the pitch continued. American fans don't want to care about what concerns them, but Chinese fans are still looking forward to it, and CCTV's ratings are still climbing.

The Greeks have been trying to go back to the team's attacking routine, but they have gone off the rails and it will be difficult to come back, and forcing a twist would look indecent.

The Chinese team, on the other hand, has resumed its normal style of play. At the beginning, meticulous progress is like positional warfare mode. Although Chen Jianghua sometimes can't help but start up, he will always be stopped in advance by Xiao Shi, and then slowly play a half-court attack.

As soon as he fell into the half-court attack, Xiao Xiao ran actively.

The Chinese team's half-court offense was not bad because of Yao Ming's storage, but the outside line was a little worse. And now the amazing running ability has joined in, like a catfish thrown into a sardine, and the whole thing is activated at once.

Of course, there is no problem for the fully activated Chinese team to suppress the declining Greek team.

Two or three years ago, the Greek team was really good, but now they are inevitably going downhill. Like Spanoulis, he has always claimed to be the king of Europe, but in reality, there are already many players in Europe who can take advantage of him.

After the second quarter, the Chinese team led by 28 points.

Xiao Sao also scored 11 points in this quarter, using accurate and erratic movements, and suddenly pulled the total score to 16 points, second only to Yao Ming's 23 points in the Chinese team.

In the third quarter, the Greek team tried to struggle, but was quickly suppressed by Yao Ming's consecutive goals.

In the fourth quarter, the Greeks gave up resistance completely. Spanoulis also sat down on the bench early.

This is where their Olympic journey ends.

In the end, the Chinese team defeated the Greek team 89:62 without blood.

Despite his pre-match arrogance, Spanolis did not show any of the majesty of the king of Europe during the match. Although he is not yet on the verge of death, he is already old, and there is only one mouth left.

It's sad, but the world of basketball is so cruel, a new generation replaces the old. After all, this is not a martial arts world, and there will be no situation where the older you get, the deeper your internal strength becomes. Only the back waves push the front waves, and the front waves die on the beach.

Spanollis's reputation in China was completely ruined, and he became the antagonist of the heroic story, whose only role was to set off the chic.

Yes, Xiao Dash has been promoted again after this game.

In the hearts of Chinese fans, he is like a young hero riding a white horse in a romance novel. And Spanoulis naturally exists as an ugly and shameless supporting character.

Although Spanollis was not famous, he did lose his reputation because of this incident.

At least, he can't go back to the NBA.

At least, he didn't dare to mention the title of King of Europe anymore.

After all, a fledgling basketball rookie can suppress him, what kind of arrogance does he have?

Life goes on, but some people are happy and some people are sad.

It was Spanollis who was gloomy and gloomy, and Xiao who was happy.

Before the semi-finals, he managed to sign four contracts. With the help of defeating Spanoulis and becoming a hero in the eyes of the nation, Barbara almost did not spend any effort to secure the sponsorship contracts of four major domestic brands.

Ping An of China offered a four-year commercial sponsorship contract of 50 million yuan.

China Mobile is 360,000 in four years.

PetroChina is 28 million in three years.

Lenovo is the most generous, and the global spokesperson contract is 6,000 yuan for 5 years.

Xiao Sao signed the contract without hesitation, which is already the top commercial sponsorship contract in China. Although it is a bit incomparable with the United States, fortunately, they are all big companies, and they add up to a lot of money.

In fact, if Xiao Xian's appetite had been a little bigger and he had accepted any advertisement, it was entirely possible for him to get an offer of at least 300 million yuan from a group of small businesses.

However, the truth that it is better to lack than to abuse is still known. Blindly receiving small advertisements will only lower their own grades, but it is not conducive to contacting high-end brands.

After Xiao Shao signed four contracts, she suddenly became a big man, and even Barbara became a little rich woman, and she also earned a lot of money from these four contracts.

But for Chick, it's drizzle.

At the same time, another piece of good news came. Croatia unexpectedly defeated Argentina, which means that the opponent of the Chinese team in the semifinals is Croatia. As long as they beat Croatia, then they will directly lock up a silver medal. After all, no one would have thought that the Chinese team would be able to beat the American team to a gold medal.

Winning the silver medal is already the best result in Chinese men's basketball, which is enough to make basketball fans ecstatic.

Time flies by and soon, the time for the game against Croatia has arrived.

Croatia are European teams, but they are not European powerhouses.

They are still some distance away from Spain, and even worse than the Greek team.

Therefore, there is no suspense in the game, and the Chinese team has strengthened the most vulnerable outside ability due to the chic joining. Now it seems to be a strong team, so, very easily, Croatia ended their Olympic journey, the Chinese team with a strong watch Xiàn for them to book a ticket back to China in advance, and wish them a smooth journey.

After the victory over Croatia, the praise of the Chinese men's basketball team suddenly climbed to the top in history. Almost every player in the Chinese men's basketball team has received the most attention, and this attention has also led them to many endorsement contracts.

Although he didn't win the gold medal, he already made history.

Next, it's up to us to see what we can do with the U.S. team.

Win less when you lose.

This is the voice of the Chinese fans from the bottom of their hearts, although now the Chinese team has entered the championship and runner-up competition. However, fans also know where their team is and will not blindly want to beat the Dream Team. At least I won't say it as arrogantly as Spanollis, and I just think about it secretly.

The fans were completely relaxed at this point.

Most of the players have also relaxed, the championship and runner-up battle is actually not important to them anymore, and they are already very satisfied to win the silver medal, after all, this has created a miracle.

However, Xiao Shi still wants to grit his teeth and fight. It was the first time he had played off against NBA superstars on the court, and it was in China, on his home court. He would love to prove himself, after all, in the United States he has received too much cynicism.

Xiao is so desperate to prove himself.

So, before the competition, he locked himself in the training gym and frantically trained his difficult jump shots.

Because he knows very well that in the face of the dream team with amazing physical elements, if you don't practice your jump shot well, there is no future at all for shooting on the spot. Even if they are shaken away, these monsters can quickly jump up again and block them.
