Evenly matched conflict can lead to team fragmentation, while crushing can forge authority.

The team's backup center Battle will need to miss two games temporarily due to a recurrence of a back injury, and it remains to be seen whether he can play in the future. The official men's basketball team used a notice to put an end to this invisible farce.

If the original players of the men's basketball team admired Yao Ming and Mo Wen more, after Da Yao's roar and Mo Wen's punch, it became awe.

After eliminating the discordant sounds, the men's basketball team finally has an overall appearance.

However, as the farce of the men's basketball team was about to end, the Dream Six team, who came to the same arena, fell into a terrifying silence in the locker room.

Because just now, they lost to Puerto Rico, who were easily crushed by them in the warm-up game, and they lost by 20 points in a humiliating way.

In the locker room, they can still hear the cheers of the crowd on the sidelines.

Since the formation of the Dream Team in '92, for three consecutive years, the Dream Team has not played a single game in the Olympic Games.

As a result, as soon as they came up this year, the Dream Six team gave everyone a big job, and they could not only lose, but also lose very badly.

Many ugly viewers across the Atlantic Ocean couldn't believe it when they looked at the morning newspaper, thinking that waking up was another big victory, and Dream Six would definitely be able to routinely bring the gold medal back, but as a result, hell, is today April Fool's Day?

If the Dream Team wins, no matter how much you win, it's not news, but as long as you lose, it's big news, and if you lose by 20 points, Kennedy won't be able to steal the headlines of the Dream Team if he opens his mind again!

Athens is not big, create myths!

Larry Brown, Popovich and Zoe were shaking with their hands covering their faces, and they didn't feel right when the team was deadlocked in the first quarter, and sure enough, the team made a big deal in the second quarter.

The Dream Six team only scored 5 points in the second quarter of the whole quarter!

Yuan Datou was the emperor for 83 days, and Larry Brown, the champion coach, was picked off after only 60 days in a yellow robe, and the road to defeat was shorter than he imagined.

Yao Ming roared, the dream team was defeated, and men's basketball became the top of the Olympics overnight.

The second game of the Chinese team against the New Zealand team was the New Zealand team.

There was no suspense, the united Chinese team, together with Mo Wen and Da Yao, took the lead and achieved a 20-point advantage in the third quarter.

Mo Wen shot 10-of-17, 4-of-6 from three-point range, and 2-of-2 from the free-throw line, scoring a false triple-double of 26 points, 9 rebounds, 8 assists, 4 steals and 2 blocks.

Yao Ming shot 10-of-18 from the inside and 5-of-6 from the free-throw line, scoring 25 points, 12 rebounds, 2 assists and 5 blocks.

The two alternated between inside and outside, breaking through the New Zealand defense, and their outside core on the offensive end Philip Jones was only 14 points defended by Mo Wen, shooting only 1 of 6 three-pointers, and their main center Max also scored only 10 points under the defense of Da Yao.

The performance of other Chinese players is also much better than on the court, mainly because they have a correct mentality, dare to fight, fight if they can't attack, fight defense, and don't shake when they catch the ball and shoot in the open position, which is enough for Mo Wen and Da Yao.

In the third game, in the face of the strong Argentina, Da Yao repeatedly fell into foul trouble, but Mo Wen still dragged the game to the fourth quarter.

It's not that there are no Chinese players who have relapsed from old illnesses in the middle, and Mo Wen has been slapped in the past, and the medicine will get rid of the disease.

It's a pity that Da Yao, who received two fouls in the first quarter, was blown off by a full foul in the fourth quarter, and without the involvement of the inside line, and the quality of other players' coverage was not enough, it was difficult for Mo Wen to penetrate the Argentine defense on his own.

He hasn't trained to crush other people's bodies, and it's hard to break through the bag with just technical experience, not to mention that his projection level is not top-notch.

Although only one Ginobili is an NBA player in the current Argentine team, the rest of the starters also have the potential to play in the NBA, if I remember correctly, this Argentina will give birth to 7 or 8 players who log in to the NBA in the future.

"It would be nice if Wang Zhizhi was here, the three of you are a perfect match together!"

Younas sighed, he knew that Mo Wen was very good at blocking and pick-and-roll, but no one in the current Chinese team could provide him with enough quality of coverage.

Da Yao's body is enough, but he is not suitable for pulling out too much, Ba Xing, he can be a stake, as far as his movement speed is concerned, Mo Wen may have to be caught after blocking and dismantling.

Mo Ke and Yi Jianlian's body weight still have to be practiced again, there is nothing to say, over and over again, just a Dazhi can meet the standards of helping Mo Wen block and dismantle.

It's just a pity.

I heard that Mo Wen was going to be on a team with Dazhi, and when the time came, he would be a medium from it, maybe things would take a turn for the better.

In the end, the Chinese team 79:86 Argentina, still lost by 7 points.

Mo Wen shot 10 of 20, 2 of 5 three-pointers, 5 of 5 free throws, scored 27 points, 10 rebounds, 7 assists and 3 steals, and played a five-to-five game with Ginobili, who scored 23 points.

Da Yao was plagued by fouls, and only played 28 minutes in this game, scoring 17 points, 15 rebounds and 3 blocks.

Although this game lost by one point more than the one against Spain, both the two coaches, as well as Da Yao and Mo Wen, were praised by the other Chinese players.

Although they couldn't do it, they did their best.

The remaining two opponents, Italy and Serbia and Montenegro, are not easy roles, and when everyone thought that the task of the Chinese team in the top 8 would not be completed, the Chinese team just gnawed two victories.

In the game with Italy, Mo Wen's hand exploded, and he was 5 of 6 outside the three-point line, and directly shot the outside line of Italy. After Mo Wen was trapped, Li Nan and Liu Wei shot many times in the open position, opening up space and relieving Mo Wen's pressure.

Mo Wen scored a single-game high of 30 points, and Da Yao made 7 of 12 shots and 2 of 2 free throws on the inside, scoring only 16 points and still winning the game.

In the big battle with Serbia and Montenegregro, the high-spirited Chinese team showed the strongest defensive attitude since the group stage, played a defensive battle for Serbia and Montenegrein, and finally won the game by three points 72:69.

There was jubilation in China as the men's basketball team completed its goal of finishing eight and tied for second place in the group stage, which was already the best result achieved by the men's basketball team.

"Shaved?"

"Of course."

"Satisfied?"

"Not really."

"We now have 18 gold medals, 9 silver medals and 7 bronze medals in China, which door do you think you will take when you turn around and get off the plane?"

Da Yao was silent.

The Olympic delegation has an unspoken rule, take the medal to the front hatch, receive flowers, accept condolences, get nothing to go to the rear hatch, and go home quietly without squeaking.

Although the top 8 has met everyone's expectations, is it really glory?

"You kid is really disappointed, it's not that you can't beat you, I have to give you two punches today!."

"Huh"

The Chinese team is still celebrating, and the other group of dream teams is falling into a dead silence again.

They lost to Lithuania by four points in the game just now, and this time the optimistic Duncan and Iverson also survived.

After 5 games, the problems of the Dream Team have been cleaned up and put on the table. Most of their players are not used to the rules of FIBA, and they are still playing with the habits of the NBA, FIBA advocates confrontation, and pays attention to shooting and space, which makes this group of stars who can only perform dunks very uncomfortable.

Duncan is okay, he can play anywhere with a big basic skill, at most, his shooting percentage will drop because the opponent has been staying under the basket, Iverson has no whistle advantage in the NBA, and FIBA's punishment for fake falls and cheat fouls is much harsher than that of the NBA, plus the escalation of the confrontation, makes him very uncomfortable.

Originally, Mengliu's physical talent can actually be very big just to fight back, but the coaching staff led by Larry Brown is determined not to let Duncan go down, and he doesn't like to use those three rookies with more athletic ability.

Under the rules of goal difference and win-loss field, the U.S. team successfully qualified for the fourth place in the group stage for the first time in history.

"That year I saw Jordan crying on the ground with the trophy in his arms, and at that moment I was thinking that if I could become a men's basketball player, I would win everything. With the semi-finals just around the corner and a delisting just around the corner, we have to consider whether this will be our only chance of a lifetime. ”

Mo Wen in front of the camera didn't feel guilty about plagiarizing the famous words of later generations, and also said the goal of the men's basketball team.

With only three games left to go before the delist, no one can calm down when everyone can do wonders.

The Chinese team was lucky, and in the first round of the knockout round, they met Puerto Rico, the weakest team in Group B.

83：83

The two teams were tied during the main match.

"Steady, steady, now as long as we hold steady and give the ball to Da Yao and Xiao Mo, we can win."

"Defense is very important, Coach Harris made a substitution, this is a very bold substitution, he replaced Moko and Li Nan with Yi Jianlian and Du Feng, who have better physical strength, which means obviously."

"Look at this ball, Mo Wen received the ball outside the three-point line and Du Feng's cover, and made a three-point shot - hit! That's a priceless three! ”

"Zhu Fangyu flew to save the ball, good ball, good job!"

"Look at Da Yao's free throws, I believe that our 'Oriental Giant' will not let us down, these two free throws are scored, we are 4 points ahead, 18 seconds and 4 minutes, we are the last step away from the top four!"

"Arroyo missed three points, Moko grabbed the rebound, the ball was thrown to the front court by him, the game time is over, win, the Chinese team wins!"

"Final four! The Chinese men's basketball team made history by reaching the semifinals! ”

The commentary in front of the TV is roaring, roaring, crying, and the feeling of exhilarationis transmitted to the hearts of everyone who watches the game.

When Mo Wen shot the last three points, the land of Shenzhou, which was already 11 o'clock in the evening, had already begun to shake.

And when the whistle sounded at the end of the game in front of the TV, the excited roar didn't know how many people's dreams were aroused.
