Chinese fans sat in front of the TV, and they couldn't hide their excitement.

They had never seen such a strong Chinese team in so many years.

In the past matchups between the Chinese team and Spain, the record was always at a disadvantage. But tonight, the Chinese team pressed Spain from the beginning.

Moreover, Yao Ming played 6 minutes in the first quarter and went off the rest early.

Su Xi led the Chinese team to continue to soar.

In the past, Yao Ming was half of the Chinese team, and his appearance was equivalent to the beginning of a collapse.

But this time, it's different. After Yao Ming went off the field, although the threat of the Chinese team's attack in the penalty area was greatly reduced, the defense was relatively lightened.

But when Sushi boosted his offensive impact, Spain couldn't stop it.

And, under Su Xi's threading needle, the Chinese team's shooters continued to exert pressure on the outside.

Spain is still unable to break free from the crackdown.

Anyone who knows a little bit about basketball can clearly see that as long as Su Xi is choked, the Chinese team will be abolished. Because all the offense and defense of the Chinese team are maintained on Su Xi alone.

Spain tried, but they couldn't succeed.

This silenced the Dream Team room.

It also made the faces of serious experts in the United States click.

Because they've been preaching the ethos that Suhi's success is built entirely on the strength of the Pacers themselves. Suhi is unlikely to succeed in any team. He's just the icing on the cake, and he doesn't have the strength to turn the tide and prop up a team at all.

But now, isn't it the best proof?

ESPN's commentator tried to reassure their American fans: "The FIBA system is good for amplifying Suhi the Sheep's ability, and Spain is not as strong as the NBA team." ”

In the case of having to eat two pieces of, he chose to eat one that was not so unpalatable: admitting that Suhi was perfectly adapted to the FIBA system.

The first quarter is over.

The Chinese team led by 6 points at 25:19.

In the second quarter of the game, Yao Ming played, Yao Ming played for 7 minutes, and he and Su Xi combined their swords to expand the difference to 13 points.

Spain were back to just 10 points before half-time.

The second half was a replica of the first, with Spain always pinned down by the Chinese team, who tried to fight back, but it was immediately met with a more violent crackdown by Susie. Suhi went on a rampage like a demon king. His formidable body is almost extreme speed, and his dribbling allows him to dive deep into the box.

The Euroleague is all about physicality, but they've never seen a point guard like this who can lift center Gasol into the air.

98：81。

The Chinese team won the first game of the group stage bloodlessly.

Get 2 points.

Sushi played the whole game, with a total of 15 points, 11 assists, 7 rebounds, 4 steals and 2 blocks. Extremely versatile. This is the data under the FIBA system, which is at least multiplied by 1.3 in the NBA, where the NBA has 12 minutes per quarter and FIBA has only 10 minutes. Moreover, the NBA's statistics are more professional and broader than FIBA's.

Yao Ming played 23 minutes in this game and scored 28 points, which was full of efficiency.

After the game, he grinned and said, "I have never fought such a rich battle in my life." It's so refreshing today, it's like drinking an iced Coke. ”

It is not only Yao Ming who drinks ice cola, but also thousands of basketball fans in the land of China.

For them, today is like the New Year.

They have never seen the Chinese team as strong as it is today.

Unexpectedly, such a strong player as Spain has no power to fight back.

Fans are increasingly looking forward to the next match.

When Yao Ming was interviewed, there was silence in the conference room of the Dream Six team, and the Chinese team won even more uncomfortable than they lost.

Many of you here are here with a vengeful mentality.

Moreover, even if some players have no personal grudges with Suhi, they can't accept Suhi as the MVP of the Finals.

Therefore, 'lesson' Suxi is the basic consensus of the Dream Six team.

Yet, yet.

…

The next day, the Dream Team met their first opponent in the group stage, Puerto Rico.

Before the game, the American media was boasting about how strong the Dream Six squad was and how strong the belief in winning was.

However, as soon as the game was played, it immediately showed timidity.

Larry Brown is not a flexible head coach, he sticks to his game and struggles to stitch existing players into his system. And his stubborn weakness to the power of a superstar, he always insisted that the head coach was the first person in charge of the team, and even the assistant coach could not dictate his orders.

He always did.

That's why the Dream Team lost their first game to Puerto Rico.

The Chinese team wins, the American team loses.

This stark contrast has made many fans in China start to think boldly: why can't we beat the Dream Team?

Perhaps the idea is too shocking.

China lost to Argentina in the second group game, with the Eagles from the Pampas Plateau beating the Chinese led by Su Xi and Yao Ming. This is Argentina's golden generation.

Ginobili, Scola, Nocioni, Delfino, Fellman, Oberto... A group of elite soldiers defeated the Chinese team in a gorgeous and swift way.

Despite the strong play of Suxi and Yao Ming, Yao Ming had a big double-double of 26 points and 15 rebounds, and he played 32 minutes with little rest. Sushi also scored a super triple-double of 15 points, 11 assists, 10 rebounds and 3 steals.

However, his two consecutive irons in the last minute are considered to be the direct cause of the Chinese team's loss.

Su Xi himself said frankly in the media: "There is indeed a problem with my final choice. ”

Su Xi was pinned down twice, and chose to shoot on her own.

However, Younas explained for Suhi: "There is nothing wrong with Jack's shooting. Yao's fitness was limited at the time, and his teammates had missed shots earlier. I asked him to stay aggressive. ”

And the reason why Su Xi did this, in addition to Yao Ming's physical problems, other teammates are very iron. The most important thing is that he wants to take advantage of the group stage to take advantage of his ball-handling attack to the next level.

The super offensive talent he 'plagiarized' from Kobe Bryant needs to challenge the defense, and the evolution of Kobe's acquired talent is very evil. Other talents can evolve in counterpoint, but this counterpoint can also evolve, but it is full of inertia. As soon as it challenges a difficult defense, it quickly becomes active, and the more critical the moment, the more difficult it hits, the more excited it becomes.

Suhi's two pieces of iron increased her super offensive talent by 1 point to 74.

It's also good value for money.

After all, it's just a group game.

Subsequently, the Chinese team played Serbia and Montenegro and New Zealand in a row, and both games were easily won.

The final game was against Italy, who were also strong this year, having beaten their Dream Team in the warm-up.

However, the Chinese team did not give them a chance and played directly from the inside, Yao Ming took the lead to open the situation, and then Su Xi shot like a dragon, and then Wang Zhizhi led a group of tall shooters to throw stones on the periphery.

The Italians held on until the fifth minute of the fourth quarter, but they couldn't hold on, and they chose to take the initiative to start garbage time.

With the final group stage over.

The points standings for Group A and Group B are also out.

In Group A, Spain and China both lost one game and accumulated nine points, while Argentina and Italy both lost two games and accumulated eight points. New Zealand and Serbia and Montenegro were eliminated. (The rules for the group stage of the Olympics are that a win counts as 2 points, and a loss counts as 1 point.) ）

Group B is more complicated, with Lithuania losing 1 game and getting 9 points. Greece, Puerto Rico, and the United States all lost 2 games while scoring 8 points.

Winners of the same number of points will be ranked according to the goal difference.

In the final Group A standings: Spain, China, Italy, Argentina.

Group B standings: Lithuania, Greece, Puerto Rico, United States.

As soon as this ranking comes out, it goes without saying who is the most humiliating.

The Dream Six team swore to Athens for revenge, and the slogan was loud and loud, and the whole United States knew that they were bound to win the Olympic gold medal.

But now, after the group stage, instead of swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger, the crane entered the quarterfinals.

It's a big concern that they'll make it to the finals.

After all, their quarter-final opponent is Group A winners Spain.

The Dream Team is so sluggish this Olympic Games, and the other strong teams are ready to fight hard.

At this moment, the posture of the Olympic men's basketball team is very similar to a stage in Chinese history: Qin lost his deer, and the world chased him.

China's quarter-final opponent, Puerto Rico, is the most ambitious.

Because they defeated the Dream Team 92-73 at the end of the group stage, they were full of confidence after winning by 19 points.

At their core is point guard Arroyo, who is only a bench player in the NBA and has very few playing opportunities. But when he arrived in the FIBA system, he was like a fish in water. His win over the Dream Team left two of Iverson and Marbury in the face of two golden generation of point guards.

Arroyo is looking to use the Olympics as an opportunity to change his career in the NBA, and his ambitious plan is to beat Suhi.

He thinks this is his best chance, and once he returns to the NBA, Suhey will be the Finals MVP on the high list, and he will return to the bench to continue his dark struggle.

"At the Olympics, I don't have to fear anyone. I feel like I can beat anyone. ”

'There's no seniority here, I've got the ball and I can go head-to-head with any big player and beat them.'

In an interview with ESPN, Arroyo expressed his ambition.

You don't have to guess who he said to know who he was talking about.

The American media likes to arch fire, and they like to watch this kind of sabre-rattling duel.

They also deliberately took Arroyo's interview to provoke Suhi.

But Suhi was indifferent, he just said, "I know." ”

Then, he asked reporters: "Have you heard of Liu Xiang?" He just won the gold medal in the 110m hurdles for China, and he is fantastic. You deserve the biggest applause to him, he broke history, he is the strongest Asian flyer in history, he broke the monopoly in athletics. ”

Su Xi mentioned Liu Xiang, his face full of pride.

He was Liu Xiang's ambassador, and ESPN's reporter listened to him talk about the 110m hurdles for a while and left on his own initiative.

Liu Xiang was the biggest surprise for the Chinese team at this year's Olympic Games, and after winning the Olympic gold medal, he quickly became a household name, his commercial value soared, and his personal popularity also achieved unprecedented achievements in China and Asia.

The last Asian athlete who was so popular was Su Xi.

Of course, the most popular is still Su Xi.

The popularity of basketball is still higher than that of the 110-meter hurdles.

The quarterfinals of the men's basketball team attracted more than 300 million Chinese viewers, and the game was broadcast in prime time in China.

As soon as the game began, Suxi gave Arroyo a little bit of Chinese shock.

He ran directly into it from the three-point line, and his body was extremely strong and knocked Arroyo away, Arroyo originally tried to pull Suxi, but was directly knocked to the ground by Suxi's strong kinetic energy, and watched Suxi enter the penalty area and complete the violent split under the cover of Yao Ming.

The opening is a dismissal.

Suhee doesn't care how proud Arroyo is in front of Iverson and Marbury, but in front of me, you'd better keep a low profile.

Suhi doesn't get used to anyone's stinky problems.

Marbury and Iverson are not defensive stalwarts and are not well suited to FIBA's winding confrontational style of play.

But Suhey is good at it.

Arroyo received the serve, and he pressed it all over the court.

Arroyo's ball control was very high, but he still stumbled, and finally passed the half, and just stopped to sort it out, Suxi took advantage of the situation to entangle it and harass him in all kinds.

Puerto Rico had to look for cover.

But Suhi is the strongest outside defender in the world, and as soon as Arroyo used the cover to change direction and leave, Suhi used his rare flexibility to spin quickly, and the silent cat was behind Arroyo, and Arroyo's basketball had just been exposed...... Syllable!

Suhi's right hand had already been pumped out violently.

Straight down Arroyo's basketball.

Wang Zhizhi in front had already been prepared, copied the basketball, threw it to the front court, and was done.

Suxi ran wildly to the frontcourt, grabbed the basketball, and rushed into the penalty area again to complete the dunk.

The Chinese fans at the scene were full of passion, waving red flags and shouting.

At this time, the camera showed the bench of the Chinese team, and Isaiah Thomas yawned. He's used to it.

He had long predicted that Suhi would be more comfortable in FIBA than in the NBA.

Because FIBA encourages confrontation and focuses on defense.

Unlike the NBA which is getting more and more body hair whistling now.

Moreover, Suhi's ability to control the ball is extremely strong, and he has the style of the past.

To play FIBA, it's not enough to be physically strong, you also have to hold the ball steadily.

LeBron James is also physically strong, but why doesn't he play well? Because the technique was not yet at home, he played Puerto Rico for 11 minutes and was whistled for three walks.

Here, the referee's eyes are rulers, and there is no ambiguity.

Suhi doesn't have that kind of problem.

Moreover, Suhi has better open shooting ability than James. Suhi can play both with and without the ball.

Is his composite talent not suitable for FIBA?

Which of those defenders who are called the kings of Europe is not Suhi? Strong, able to hold the ball, open to shoot... Each of Suhi's items is an enhanced version of the 'King of Europe'.

Sweeping FIBA is like playing.

The miracle of Puerto Rico did not continue.

Although they won the group stage by 19 points against the United States, it only took China half a game to reach that point.

After that, it is to charge interest to the Dream Six team.
