Chapter 94: [Battle of Athens]
Before leaving for Athens, the Chinese team played another warm-up match against Australia.
Australia's style of play is very fierce and the intensity of the confrontation is very high.
They also called all the main players in this game.
However, this did not stop the Chinese team from winning with a relaxed attitude.
94:62。
The Chinese team won by 32 points. Suhi had 11 points, 10 assists, 7 rebounds, 6 steals and 2 blocks in this game. He once again showed Chinese fans what it means to be an all-round warrior, what it means to be seamless, and what it means to be a FIBA maniac.
Australia's defenders still can't break through Suhi's tangled defense, and Suhi's physical impact still makes Australia's defense unable to heal.
This is a dimensionality reduction strike.
Isaiah Thomas's words are becoming a reality proverb.
You can doubt everything about Isaiah Thomas, but you can't doubt his precise vision.
Suhi is indeed the most suitable for the FIBA system among all the current NBA stars.
Chinese fans are confident about the upcoming men's basketball tournament at the Olympics, as is Younas, who told reporters before departure: "All of us think it's a historical journey. We're ready. ”
Yao Ming told Su Xi on the plane: "I have a hunch that we will achieve even better results than I imagined. ”
Suhi smiled and said, "Then please don't stop imagining." Don't forget that you also have a job as an Olympic flag bearer. ”
Yao Ming shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't understand why you refused to be included in the vote, I think if you participate in the selection, you have a better chance than me." ”
Suxi said very seriously: "I have never made any contribution to the team and the country before, let me raise the flag, I have no confidence." When I get the results that everyone is satisfied with this time, I will strive for it in the next session. ”
Suxi is a particular person, and he will not be punished for nothing.
…
In Greece, Suhi was given a little privilege to stay at a high-end hotel next to the Olympic Village. It was allowed by everyone, including the tour leader, because the leader was unbearable. Because when Su Xi appeared in the Olympic Village, female athletes from all over the world would come to the Chinese team to 'meet' Su Xi the sheep.
Hollywood propaganda is amazing, everyone knows that Sue Hee is a man who can make women happy, and he is young and handsome and golden... Who wouldn't want to be a woman of Scarlett's class?
The Chinese team is often surrounded by bras, and the open and healthy female athletes are very bold. This poses a huge challenge to the values of Chinese players.
Eventually, when Suhi suggested staying in a hotel, they readily agreed.
Then, on the night before the first game of the Olympic Games, all the players and coaches of the Chinese team stayed in the hotel together. Nike, as a sponsor, he offers this service ... The Chinese team also provided a reward for this, except for the inside players, they all wore Su Xi's signature shoes... It's all custom-made.
It's a hello, hello, everyone, thing.
After recuperating their batteries, the Chinese team welcomed their strongest opponent in the group stage: Spain.
In this year's draw, the Chinese team was drawn to Group A. The opponents are: Spain, Italy, Argentina, Serbia and Montenegro, New Zealand, and China.
Group B is: Lithuania, Puerto Rico, Greece, Angola, Australia, United States.
The rules of the Olympics are the same as those of the NCAA.
First of all, the group preliminaries, Group A and Group B first fought internally, and the six teams selected the four teams with higher points, and then Group A and Group B fought alternately, and the first in Group A faced off against the fourth in Group B... The second in Group A vs. the third in Group B: the same rules as Tian Ji horse racing.
The knockout round is a game to be won or lost, which is very cruel.
This year's Group A is considered the Group of Death, and they are all very strong.
Spain are traditionally strong teams in Europe, Italy just beat the Dream Team in Germany, Argentina won the 2002 World Championships, Serbia and Montenegro have always been a powerhouse, they are considered to have produced the most basketball superstars outside of the United States, and New Zealand has a strong and competitive style of play. After the Chinese team joined Suxi, it was considered to be a sea change.
So the promotion situation in Group A is very mysterious, and no one knows what will happen.
Spain is one of the top contenders for medals at the Games.
Domestic fans are very much looking forward to the matchup of this game because it has great reference significance. Some domestic basketball commentators even pointed out: As long as we can play back and forth with Spain, we will have a chance to stand on the podium. If you lose by less than five points, it will be a tie.
Although the level of domestic commentators is not enough, they are full of enthusiasm in their hearts, who doesn't want the motherland to be good?
This is clearly a collection of character.
It's completely different from the football commentators who say, 'If you draw and you qualify'.
The core of Spain is Pau Gasol, Pau Gasol was the Tanhua of 2001, and his class was full of talent, and the top four were all center forwards. Kwame Brown, Tyson Chandler, Pau Gasol, Eddie Curry.
Currently, Pau Gasol has achieved the most in the NBA, and he is already the absolute core of the Grizzlies. Although it is the weak core of the weak team, it is also a star of the NBA elite and above All-Stars.
Before the start of the game, Pau Gasol also came over to greet Suhi, and they had some contacts during the game. He congratulated Suhi on winning the MVP of the finals and fighting for the glory of foreign players.
As a foreign player begging for food in the NBA, Pau Gasol is in the most competitive area, and he rarely hears all kinds of trash talk. Not to mention the quality of the players in the NBA. Therefore, Gasol has always admired Suhi's style of doing things without acceptance in the NBA, and Sushi did what he didn't dare to do.
The game started quickly.
The starting lineup sent by the Chinese team tonight is: Su Xi, Zhu Fangyu, Li Nan, Wang Zhizhi, Yao Ming.
The starting line-up of the Spanish team is: Gasol, Liengue, Gonzalez, Navarro, Rodriguez.
The whistle blew.
Yao Ming defeated Gasol in a jump ball, and the ball came to Suhi.
Rodriguez is a young point guard who is known as Spain's backcourt star. Spain brought him here this time just to brush up on the tournament experience.
He started his first group game and hopefully he can learn something from Suhi's matchup.
And also arranged for the experienced Navarro to escort him on the side.
Suhi dribbled the ball steadily through the half, and he didn't test Rodriguez's depth. What did he say when he saw the player profile for Spain? It's not worth his temptation.
In the words of Big Brother Broken Stream: I'm not targeting any defender in Spain, I mean... All of you are Lese.
Yao Ming was in the paint area to get to the position, Su Xi passed the basketball in, Yao Ming received the ball, leaned on his back, exerted force, gained space, turned around, and half-hooked his hand...... Swish!
Coherent.
It's like a seasoned assembly line worker.
Yao Ming has no aesthetic sense of play, but he has a strong sense of control.
When he's fit, he's going to break you down one by one, you don't have a one-on-one limit to his plan, as long as he's safe on the ball and starts his set, the only thing you can do is pray he's not feeling well tonight.
Especially under the FIBA system.
Spain serves, Sushi does not hesitate to target Rodriguez.
Rodriguez's eyes are full of ambition and impulse.
Over the past year, Suhi's story has inspired all basketball teenagers to want to be like Suhi... Make untold money, sleep with the most beautiful women in Hollywood, and take the crown jewel on the highest stage of the NBA.
Rodriguez also wants to live like this, so he wants to beat Suhi.
Very nice and very energetic!
Su Xi saw that he looked full of momentum, he liked such a young man.
Therefore, after he led the defense for about five meters, he suddenly hit the killer in the middle line, and he forcibly blocked Rodriguez's way, and as soon as Rodriguez reacted, Suxi's huge power exerted surging pressure.
Rodriguez's lower limbs are not weak, but compared to Suhey, it is a stream competing with the sea.
He was drowned.
Navarro hurried over to answer.
But it was too late.
Syllable!
Suhi's hand was fast and sharp, and he broke the basketball with a slap and squeezed it up, pushing Rodriguez straight away.
He is like duckweed in the wind and waves, and he can't help himself.
I could only watch Su Xi run over and run towards the front.
He spread his hands and tried to put pressure on the referee.
Before that, his coach Javier had already done so.
But the referee had no interest in listening to the noisy voices of the Spaniards.
Rumble!
Suhi completed a powerful dunk in the front court.
The Chinese fans at the scene were boiling.
And thousands of miles away in China, the basketball commentator roared on TV: "It's finally our turn!! ”
The fans were also very excited.
In the past, it was the Chinese defenders who were careful to pass the half, but now it is the turn of the Chinese team's opponents.
Suxi's defense is too terrifying, not only is it infinitely powerful, but it is also a must, and the timing control is the best in the world, plus super explosiveness and speed.
"Gary Payton has to kowtow three times when he comes, and the teacher is good."
Isaiah Thomas sighed on the bench.
In fact, Suhi's current defensive ability is definitely better than Gary Payton's, and Gary Payton's explosiveness, strength, speed, and flexibility are not as good as Suhi's, or even far behind.
It's all about defense.
"If there was a player like Suhi defending Jordan back then, would Jordan be able to win two triple-winning championships?" Isaiah Thomas muttered to himself.
Sushi is undoubtedly very comfortable with the iron-clad defensive rhythm of the 90s.
It's hard to get an answer to this kind of 'hypothetical question'.
However, Chinese fans now get the answers they want.
After Susi's dunk, Spain were cautious and their inside line had to follow Rodriguez the whole time to provide him with cover.
Suhi followed quietly, like a cheetah staring at a lone antelope.
After Rodriguez was tackled, he quickly passed the basketball to Navarro and ran to the side himself.
Navarro singled Zhu Fangyu, his height was far inferior to Zhu Fangyu, but he had a good rhythm with the ball.
Zhu Fangyu is the No. 3 position in China, and his defensive ability in China is good.
But in international competitions, it's a bit of a stretch.
Navarro broke through to the penalty line, and he didn't dare to challenge Yao Ming's defense in the penalty area.
So, he took an emergency stop shot.
But at the moment when he jumped, Suhi slammed out from one side and slapped Navarro's basketball hard, directly pressing it down.
Take it away.
Navarro was sad.
He felt Suhi everywhere.
Suhi showed his knack for a quadruple-double, and if basketball is a fill-in-the-blank question, there's no one in the world better at filling in the blanks than Suhi.
The Dream Team didn't play today, and they just sat in front of the TV and watched the game. Spain is their second biggest opponent this year, and the first biggest opponent is Argentina.
The Chinese team is the team they want to beat the most, and it has the players they hate the most.
In the huge conference room, I don't know who sighed.
Then, Carmelo Anthony's voice was heard: "Jack has improved too much. He didn't have this kind of super speed when he was at Syracuse University before. ”
Suhi is like a different rhythm on the pitch, he is always one step ahead.
"There's nothing to brag about, I can do it." Lamar Odom spoke up from behind.
He's confident.
He used to be an extremely talented representative, and he was considered to be able to play five positions.
However, when he said this, why did everyone not believe it so much?
Dwyane Wade tried to pull in Odom, but Odom apparently didn't take it seriously, and he continued: "We NBA stars are supposed to be a dimensionality reduction blow in this kind of game, compared to talent, who can compare to us in this room." Hahahaha. ”
Odom didn't want to go any further, so he asked a few beautiful Greek girls.
He stepped out of the conference room.
Everyone fell silent.
Larry Brown stared at the big screen and didn't speak, he knew how good Susie was.
Odom is not entirely wrong, in terms of overall talent, there is indeed no team that can compete with this Dream Six team.
However, the NBA and FIBA are two different rules of the game. And basketball isn't just about talent.
Suxi assisted Wang Zhizhi in the frontcourt to hit a jumper from beyond the three-point line.
In retrospect, Spain used more frequent runs and screens to help Navarro hit a 3-pointer.
Susi's presence forced Spain to complicate their tactics, which was forcing them to become stronger.
"Watch the game carefully."
Larry Brown asked the players to improve their concentration, and this game is very important for the Dream Team.
LeBron James is very focused, he is glued to the screen, he does not miss a single detail.
Without Suhi, James would really be a supermodel of the new generation of basketball. He trained hard and kept a clear head when the media was so hot. He is improving his technique every day, as well as the flexible use of his physical gifts. And in tactical thinking, he also tried his best to absorb.
Larry Brown loves James from the bottom of his heart.
But in his heart, he still felt that Suxi was more terrifying.
Suhi is the devil who eats people, and no one knows how strong he really is.
Facing the Pacers in the Eastern Conference Finals, Suhi would switch to a stronger form every game, and at the end of the game, the Pistons collapsed directly, and the last game was one of the few routs in Larry Brown's career.
