Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Argentine Eagle
The victory over Spain is undoubtedly a huge surprise for Chinese fans, and it can even be described as unprecedented.
After all, Spain is super powerhouse, even comparable to the Dream Team.
The Chinese team's previous dream was only to enter the top eight, and now, they have killed the last World Championship champion.
Younas also made a bold statement of competing for medals, which is so wonderful.
And even more beautifully, they were pleasantly surprised by the chic table xiàn. This kind of surprise is based on the strong repression before, when Xiao Sa was pressed to the bench before, some remarks affected the judgment of the fans, and the vast majority began to think that Xiao Sa was a parallel import.
However, the dashing table gave the doubter a resounding slap in the face.
Playing time was 8 minutes and 45 seconds, counting 15 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal.
The score is second only to Yao Ming.
Of course, this gap is relatively large, and Yao Ming scored 39 points.
However, Yao Ming played 29 minutes.
This is already the best of all the outside players.
The most important thing is that his fifteen points are completely dependent on his own ability, and he also led a bench lineup without Yao Ming to complete the suppression of the Spanish main lineup.
That's the crux of the matter.
This proves that Xiao Xiao already has the core ability, and he has the ability to tear apart the opponent's defensive system alone. This is precisely what the Chinese team lacks the most on the outside.
All of a sudden, basketball fans praised him as the new answer for the Chinese men's basketball team in the next decade. even thinks that he can play the value of a star player in the NBA.
Chinese fans are like this, either they degrade people to scum, or they hold people to the sky. There are very few rational fans. Of course, basketball is originally a bloody sport, and emotion is always greater than rationality.
Chinese fans have praised Xiao Shi to the sky, but American fans think Xiao Xiao is commonplace. Because they found that the table on the court was not prominent, and it did not make people shine. Because the outside line they know is basically this style of play, with outstanding ability to break through with the ball and accurate three-point shooting. It seems that they have all been surprised.
There is no way, the last thing the United States lacks is a shooting guard.
In the United States, where individual heroism is pursued, every player likes to show his sense of existence with a variety of exaggerated and sharp movements on the court. This has also caused the critical gaze of American fans, so, in their eyes, Xiao Sao does not have a unique technical move.
Of course, there are also more professional fans who admit that the sense of storage on the pitch is bursting, he appears in almost any attack, and his figure can always participate in every defense.
It's just that few people see the chic creation of zào.
The people who can see the sense of zài are already very high-level fans, and there are very few people who can see the identity of the controller in the tactical system. Because, Xiao Shao's identity is more of the role of a basketball terminator, in their opinion, it should be the point guard who controls the tactics, how can the scoring guard control the overall tactical mobilization? It's completely out of the woods of basketball.
That's the paradox.
In fact, the evaluation of the fans did not affect too many people.
The general manager who likes to admire the dashing is still constantly requesting trades from the Clippers. Those who don't like it, still scoff at it and disdain it.
Of course, for the Clippers, the impact is still very large.
At the very least, their boss has raised the price tag for sideline sponsorship again. Chinese merchants have also agreed to increase the amount of sponsorship.
After all, chic has already caused heat in China.
Before this, his popularity was still relatively low. After all, he was a player who came out of nowhere, and no one knew about him, and they hadn't even seen him play. And now, he shocked the whole country as soon as he appeared, and helped the national team turn the tide and kill the second boss Spain.
This appearance is almost perfect, and the perfect appearance naturally creates an extraordinary value.
This can be seen from the quotation form that Barbara received. In the past, the endorsement contracts given by some large companies were basically two or three million yuan a year, but now they have jumped to about eight million.
This is almost the price of a first-line superstar in the film and television industry.
But for this price, Barbara is still a little dissatisfied. She thinks that she can go a little higher, which is the conclusion of her rigorous analysis. In her opinion, there are more than 300 million basketball fans in China, and there are even more potential fans, which is a huge treasure that even surpasses the entire population of the United States. And, most importantly, China has only one dashing, a shooting guard who can enter the NBA with the No. 7 pick. The shooting guard's style of play and height are obviously closer to those of the average fan, and this closeness will make Xiao's business prospects far better than that of center Yao Ming, and at least he should be equal. And Yao Ming's endorsement contract is obviously more than 8 million yuan a year.
So, the conclusion is, wait and see.
For the commercial side of things, Xiao Swan left it to Barbara, who only gave limits on the amount of the contract.
And now, he doesn't even bother to give the contract amount, because all his mind is on the game.
Soon, the Chinese team ushered in the fourth opponent in the group stage, the champion of the last Olympic Games, Argentina.
Argentina are undoubtedly a tough nut to crack, and while their golden generation is now at their peak, they are still not to be underestimated, and they are even more dangerous than the Spaniards.
So, in this game. Younas decided to start the game.
But he didn't give Xiao Shi too much freedom in terms of tactics, he still decided to retain some of his strength and not stimulate all of Xiao Wei's talent, which was only a group stage after all. Before the game, he instructed Xiao Shao: "Xiao, your task tonight is to cooperate with Yao." You'll have very few chances to take control of the ball directly. ”
In this regard, Xiao Shi expressed his understanding. He's also keen to show off his prowess as a showman.
The game was still held at the Wukesong Basketball Stadium, which was already filled with excited fans before the game officially began.
And all the coaches of the U.S. team also came to the stadium, and they were very attentive to the game. Because in their plans, Spain and Argentina are both opponents they are on guard against, after all, both opponents have beaten them. And now the Chinese team has sprung up, and they must be treated strictly and must be highly valued.
Soon, the game began.
Yao Ming took advantage of his height to shoot a basketball from Oberto.
Yao Ming's racket was a little off, and Ginobili and Xiao Shao noticed the landing point of the basketball at the same time.
So, the competition starts from the first second.
The two of them took steps almost at the same time, but Xiao Xiao was younger after all, and his explosiveness was much better than Ginobili. Ginobili, however, was more experienced, and he quickly turned half of his body to try to hold back the dashing advance.
However, he underestimated his ability to react in a dashing manner.
At the moment when Ginobili pressed half of his body, Xiao Shi, who had started quickly, suddenly stopped, and then pouted his buttocks...... Bang! Ginobili was hit in the lower abdomen in an instant, and he was in some pain at the moment, and his footsteps were also sluggish.
At this time, Xiao Sao had already sprinted quickly and grabbed the basketball easily.
"Hey, I've been a wrestling king since I was a child, and your technical moves are not very standardized." After handing the ball to Liu Wei, Xiao Shao turned around and reminded Ginobili, who was holding his lower abdomen and looking a little ugly.
The slick reminder made Ginobili even more uncomfortable. He began to think that this rookie he was about to meet in the NBA was too annoying.
At this time, Popovich on the sidelines smiled very knowingly.
He came today with great expectations. Because Ginobili is his favorite general, and Xiao is a newcomer he is extremely optimistic about. He was expecting the two to collide with each other, and now the spark had appeared.
Dash took some lead in the first round.
……
Forehead... Two days ago, I was delayed because I was in a bit of a hurry.
In the past two days, everyone has voted for more than 500 votes, so I will count it as five watches. This is the first update. I'll try to do two more in the evening.
Ask for a referral ticket.
In the end, I really won't be a eunuch this time. In fact, the way of the villain, the pride is immortal, the violent forward, I don't have a eunuch in these three basketball novels, and in this regard, my character is worth a hundred points.
