The next day, the Chinese team ushered in the semi-finals.

Their opponent is Argentina.

In the 2002 World Championships, Argentina ended the Dream Five team.

In this year's Olympics, Argentina has just eliminated the Dream Six team.

Now Argentina is known as the "Dream Team Terminators".

A large number of players of the year: Ginobili, Scola, Prigioni, Porta, Delfino, Quinteros, Nocioni, Camoriciziz, Juan Gutiérrez, Leonardo Gutiérrez, Oberto, Gonzalez.

Compared with the dual-core operation of the Chinese team, Argentina is more balanced, strong in every position, and has no obvious weaknesses.

Ultimately.

The Chinese team lost to Argentina.

On the other side of the European civil war, Lithuania narrowly defeated Spain.

This was followed by a bronze medal battle and a gold medal match.

The Chinese team lost to Spain and finished fourth.

Spain won the bronze medal.

Argentina narrowly defeated Lithuania to win the gold medal.

Lithuania won the silver medal.

During the award stage, Argentina, Lithuania and Spain received gold, silver and bronze medals.

The Chinese team was blushing below.

They are only one step away from medals!

I just can't cross it.

Yao Ming suddenly said: "Next time, in Beijing, we must stand on the podium." ”

Li Lei looked at Yao Ming, was silent for a long time, and finally nodded.

In this Olympic Games, Yao Ming averaged 20.5 points and 9.8 rebounds per game, second only to Pau Gasol of Spain, and was already the top big man in the World Series.

Li Lei averaged 18.8 points, 6.3 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 2.3 steals and 2.1 blocks per game, and was the outside core of the Chinese team.

The Chinese team has established Yao Ming and Li Lei as the two cores of one inside and one outside.

There are a bunch of newcomers on the front line, such as Mo Ke, Yi Jianlian, and Zhu Fangyu...... All have good performances.

The biggest problem is still the back line.

The Chinese team could not even find a defender who could dribble steadily through the midfield.

Li Lei has to devote a lot of physical strength to do this every game, which is an undeserved consumption.

At the end of August, the men's basketball team and the women's basketball team went back to China first.

landed in Beijing, and as soon as he got out of the airport, Li Lei was shocked by the scene in front of him.

Crowds of Chinese red, countless fans waving flags and holding flowers are here to welcome the triumph of the men's basketball team.

Everyone on the basketball team was intimidated by the situation.

Li Lei reacted the fastest, opened his suitcase as soon as possible, took out the jersey and shoes he wore for the game, and gave them to a few young fans.

Spoelstra has said that the fans are everything to the players.

David Stern also told Li Lei: If you offend anyone, you can't offend the fans.

What's more, it's my own compatriots who are guarding here.

They went to great lengths to come here, just to see the idol in your heart, how can you bear to refuse?

Li Lei took the initiative to take photos with the fans, signed T-shirts and basketballs for them, high-fived them, and shouted together: "five! ”

There are too many helpless people, and Li Lei was soon overwhelmed by the fans.

Bill Duffy was a little worried about Li Lei's safety and wanted to take Li Lei away as soon as possible, but Li Lei refused and still patiently interacted with the fans.

Yao Ming and others saw Li Lei's insistence, and they all stepped forward to interact with the fans, and finally helped Li Lei share a lot of pressure.

In the chaotic crowd, I only heard Li Lei shouting from time to time: "Shake hands, shake hands, don't touch my abdominal muscles, I'm afraid of itching!" ”

"Just touch my abs, don't go any further!"

From time to time, the fans erupted in laughter.

It turns out that Li Lei is so funny and so kind, just like an ordinary big boy.

The team committee can't see that this can't be done!

Not to mention the safety of the players, the fans directly blocked the airport, affecting the normal operation of the airport.

And the fans are so crowded, it is also easy to have a stampede.

The team committee immediately contacted the airport and borrowed a space from the airport to hold a temporary fan meeting.

As soon as the airport heard that it was from the Sports Bureau, and it was the Chinese men's basketball team that had just made meritorious contributions, he agreed without saying a word, and also helped to arrange the venue.

However, there is a request, the staff at several airports are also fans and also want to take pictures with the players.

Of course, none of this is a problem.

So, an impromptu fan meeting began in the airport's large conference room.

From early in the morning, busy until the evening, it can be over.

That's it, the fans can't get enough.

After that, the men's basketball team was praised by the Sports Bureau and the Basketball Management Center.

Some people even proposed that the spirit of the men's basketball team has reached the same height as the spirit of the women's volleyball team and the sonorous rose.

Li Lei then participated in some activities under the arrangement of the men's basketball team, the Nike team, and Duffy.

It took half a month for everything to come to an end.

Subsequently, Li Lei's team will return to the United States.

The group that went back was even bigger than when they came.

There are two more Yi Jianlian and Zhu Fangyu.

The basketball management center expressed its support for Yi Jianlian and Zhu Fangyu to go out to study.

The Guangdong team was also reimbursed in full.

The outstanding performance of Yao Ming and Li Lei has made the Chinese basketball community know the power of American basketball.

Also because of the desire to achieve another good result in 2008, the basketball management center is much more tolerant of players to play overseas, and even expressed support.

It can be said that Yi Jianlian, Zhu Fangyu, and even future Chinese players will be on the road paved with blood by Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi if they can play overseas.

Li Lei, there is also a little bit of influence.

After arriving in the United States, Li's father and Li's mother returned to Los Angeles.

Li Lei and his entourage went straight to Miami.

During this period, Li Lei's good friends also came one after another.

Crawford, White Chocolate, and Alston are three streetball masters.

Wade and Haslem are two teammates.

Milicic, Dio, Pachuria, Mo Williams are comrades in the united front against the NCAA.

plus Li Lei, Zhu Fangyu, and Yi Jianlian, a total of twelve people.

It's completely possible to form a 5v5, and there can also be a substitute.

In the first game, Yi Jianlian and Zhu Fangyu felt the gap.

A true NBA player relies more on physical fitness than an international player.

Yi Jianlian's talent is definitely unique in China, but compared with Milicic, it is really not enough.

Zhu Fangyu's talent is not too bad, but when you stand with Dior, you are immediately ashamed.

The two of them received an immediate blow of 10,000 points.

Especially Yi Jianlian, let alone facing Milicic, even when he meets Haslem, he is prevented from doubting his life.

As long as Haslem exerts a force, Yi Jianlian can't bear it at all, and he can't do a single technical move coherently.

When the blow is over, it's time to give some hope.

Li Lei invited the professional team invited by Duffy last time to design a professional training plan for Yi Jianlian and Zhu Fangyu.

This is a long-term thing.

But Yi Jianlian and Zhu Fangyu can clearly feel their progress.

On the highest stage, you can get the fastest progress.

The two are even more eager to get into the NBA.

So, they saw Miami at four o'clock in the morning.
