Chapter 66: [The East Wind Overwhelms the West Wind]

Suhi's interview sparked a national uplift.

The Chinese fans cheered for Suhi's pride.

Of course, many American media outlets also took content from this interview and disseminated it to the United States. They describe Suhi as an arrogant, domineering, and self-conscious person. And strongly encourage the Dream Team to deal a devastating blow to Su Xi and the Chinese team at this year's World Championships.

At the same time, they also satirized Suhi's arguments about bringing the Knicks five consecutive championships, and they described Suhi as 'wishful thinking', 'daydreaming' and 'crazy talk'.

Of course, the New York media didn't dance along, on the contrary, they were glad that Suhi had made another commitment.

They were willing to believe Suhi's promises, and the kid who grew up in New Jersey was always a man of his word.

And the reason why those basketball media are so crazy is also because Sushi does what she says.

If Suhi was really an arrogant, daydreaming, wishful thinking, wishful thinking, would they react so much?

The lineup of the Dream Seven team was also officially released at this time.

Coincidentally, they are basically Suxi's 'beloved relatives and friends'.

This year is the class of 2003. Wade, James, Anthony, Hinrich, Bosh have a total of five outstanding representatives of the golden generation participating... Except for the strongest one in the Chinese team.

The other players are Dwight Howard, Elton Brand, Brad Miller, Joe Johnson, Chris Paul, Sean Battier, Antoine Jamison.

How to say it.

Although the American basketball media has been preaching revenge, there has been talk of destroying Suhi the Sheep. But their real ace didn't come out, Kobe didn't come, Maddie didn't come, Duncan, Garnett, O'Neal Jr... None of the seasoned superstars came.

So, Suhey used this quote when commenting on the Dream Team: they are just a bunch of kids, nothing to praise. They couldn't even make it to the final and I know their level very well.

The content of Su Xi's interview was translated into English by the American media, and they believed that this was Su Xi's biggest humiliation to the Dream Seven team, and they attacked Su Xi frantically and described Su Xi as a traitor.

Moreover, the members of the dream team also said: This is the biggest encouragement for us, and we will respond.

Suhi didn't care.

He didn't need to care.

The reason why he said this in an interview is because he dominated the roster of players of the Chinese team this time.

He had to convince the leaders of the basketball association and the people involved.

As we all know, the national team sometimes stuffs in some players with deep qualifications and strong strength in the country... These people are actually not good at international competitions.

Suhi chose to let the young man come up.

Give young people more opportunities.

He even picked a high school student who had just graduated.

For Su Xi, young people must be promoted unusually and carry out high-intensity practical training in order to be promoted.

The implication of his saying that the Dream Team is not strong enough is that we can win gold with this kind of lineup.

Su Xi now has a transcendent status in the domestic basketball circle, and when he makes up his mind, there is almost no resistance, unless that person wants to fight against the god of basketball.

Public opinion will definitely make him understand why the flowers are so red.

Therefore, the final squad of the Chinese team is: Yao Ming, Wang Zhizhi, Yi Jianlian, Zhu Fangyu, Li Nan, Liu Wei, Liu Xiaoyu, Sun Yue, Su Xi, Zhang Qingpeng, Wang Lei, Cheng Jianghua.

Su Xi led the personnel selection, in fact, if it weren't for the too much resistance, Su Xi even wanted to let Yao Ming rest.

But, of course, this is a bold idea. If Yao Ming is allowed to rest, it can basically only be regarded as pure military training.

After all, Yao Ming is a FIBA super killer.

When the Chinese team arrived in the island nation, they received an unprecedented welcome, and their popularity far exceeded that of the dream team. Originally, the Dream Team was supposed to be the most popular.

But who made Suhee more popular than all of them. Suhi has more championships than all of them combined, and more Finals MVPs than all of them combined. Both comparisons are 3:0.

It's embarrassing.

It is worth mentioning that the Chinese team and the dream team are in the same group.

The six teams are: China, USA, Puerto Rico, Slovenia, Italy, and Senegal.

There isn't a single fuel-efficient lamp, so people say it's the Death Group.

The rules of the World Championships are to be divided into 4 groups, each group of 6 teams, the group stage is played separately, according to the ranking of points, the top four enter the knockout round, and then from the top 16 to the top 8, and then the semi-finals of the semi-finals, and the two-strong competition.

The rules are similar to those of the Olympics.

The first game of Group D is full of highlights: the Chinese team vs. the dream team.

This is the group game with the highest public opinion in the world basketball world, and Suxi even saw a lot of TV media that originally reported on the NBA on the spot, and they all came to the island country to broadcast the game live.

Suhi also ran into Charles Barkley.

Barkley asked Suhi in a private capacity, "Do you think you have a high probability of winning?" ”

Sushi said: "One hundred percent. ”

"Why?"

"Because the Dream Team doesn't fit into the FIBA system, they're used to playing on an NBA scale. I, on the other hand, can be seamless. What's more, we have Yao Ming, who is FIBA's No. 1 center. When we have an advantage on the outside and dominance on the inside, what do you do to win? ”

Suhi told Charles Barkley in a reasonable tone: "Your players are just a little more physically gifted, but you can't fly in the FIBA penalty area." ”

"But as long as we move, we can take out most of our opponents."

"No, you can't move, you're still alone."

Suhi was decisive: "You'll know after watching the game. ”

Barkley still didn't trust Suhey's judgment.

Although he is one of the two commentators who most respect Sushi among American basketball media people.

Other American counterparts were already frantically mocking at this time, saying that the Chinese team would be beaten by the Dream Team and would be powerless, and Suxi the Sheep would be stripped of all his wool and ravaged by the Dream Team in his territory, and that the Dream Team would tear apart his hypocritical godhead and make him reveal the emperor's new clothes.

I have to say that their propaganda ability is still very strong. At least in the United States, their arguments have brainwashed many basketball fans, making them feel that it is an easy thing to take out the Chinese team.

They forgot that in Athens, the Chinese team was the gold medalist, and they only won the bronze medal.

Backbite!

The whistle was uniform throughout the field Sue! Sue! Sue! Blowing in the waves.

The starting players of the Chinese team are Yao Ming, Wang Zhizhi, Li Nan, Su Xi and Liu Wei.

The starters for the U.S. team are Brad Miller, Chris Bosh, Cameron Anthony, LeBron James, Hinrich.

The game caught the attention of basketball fans around the world because it was the game with the most NBA stars since the end of the NBA Finals.

Even in the NBA, it's hard to see so many high-quality superstar matchups.

Some say it was the pinnacle of the class of 2003.

Some people also say that this is Sushi the Sheep single-handedly taking on the entire NBA elite.

But anyway, smack!

Yao Ming jumps ball to beat Brad Miller.

Liu Wei drove forward with the ball, Hinrich pressed through the half, and he passed to Suhi.

LeBron James didn't dare to move forward.

FIBA's shorter three-point line means it's more crowded at halftime, it's harder to get around, and there's no three-second zone where the interior can stay there all the time.

Suhi quickly changed direction with the ball, he cut a defensive passage, and then plunged into it, he squeezed James's strong body, and firmly controlled the basketball, he entered the penalty area, jumped up, Howard blocked in the air, Suhi directly pushed him away, and easily put the basketball into the basket with his left hand.

On the first ball, Suxi played an oriental momentum.

His domineering spirit made the screams of the fans in the stadium uncontrollable.

They just like Suhi's toughness.

Sushi also waved to the fans, which sparked an even bigger wave.

It is impossible for any basketball player in Asia to be more popular than Suhi.

Kenny Smith said anxiously on TV: "Hurry up and come back, you must not let Suxi the sheep get up, once this guy finds a breakthrough, he will be like a rainbow and keep widening the difference." He's a madman. ”

Kenny Smith was in a hurry.

He knew Sushi too well.

Suhi is a player who is unforgiving. And as long as he finds the 'momentum', he can take the game away. In the NBA, he has tried and failed, and what many teams fear most is Suhi's rise.

Now, Suhi has this kind of sign on the first ball, so how can Kenny Smith not be nervous?

He's American anyway, and he certainly wants the Dream Team to win.

Charles Barkley was also saying at this time: "Someone has to step up and respond. ”

The basketball got to James, who received the ball on the wing at the three-point line to face Suhi.

Suhi is applying pressure.

James made two feints with the ball, and then he quickly stepped out of the way...... Backbite!

The referee blew the whistle and without any doubt, he gave James the whistle to walk.

It's all too obvious.

If you're just stealing a step.

The referee may have turned a blind eye and endured it.

But what do you mean by taking the overlord step directly? When I'm blind?

How can you be so arrogant.

James was quite aggrieved and tried to argue with the referee, but the referee was Portuguese and didn't understand English very well.

Suhi said a trash word to James at this time: "Stop pestering the referee, this is not the NBA." ”

James looked at Suhi angrily.

Su Xi served to Liu Wei and escorted him to the front from one side, Liu Wei passed the ball to Yao Ming, and Yao Ming singled Brad Miller in the penalty area.

He spun around quickly and threw the basketball with a hook hand...... Bang!

Basketball hits iron.

Just as Bosh squeezed Wang Zhizhi away and was about to snatch the basketball away, Su Xi quickly rushed up from behind, grabbed the basketball above his head and smashed it into the basket with both hands...... Rumble!

Another violent buckle.

The audience boiled again.

Sue! Sue! Sue!

The uniform shouts are like the roar of the army.

Bosh was also aggrieved at this time, and he tried to complain to the referee: why was the basketball able to grab the basketball and pour it into it before it left the top of the hoop?

The answer is simple: this is FIBA.

FIBA allows players to do this.

Bosh was depressed.

But the game goes on.

James is no longer the main attacker, and at this time he has to admit that if he can't pull up the offensive rhythm, then in the FIBA arena, Carmelo Anthony is better than himself.

Anthony singled out Li Nan.

His kaleidoscopic offensive skills were on display, completing the offense with turnaround and jumpers.

The Dream Team finally scored.

Anthony's offensive skills are a play-to-kill approach in both systems.

Suhi said to him, "Cameron, look! Skill will never betray you, as long as you have solid enough technique, whether it's FIBA or the NBA, you're a top superstar. ”

Su Xi said this very loudly.

He's complimenting Anthony.

Of course, it is also a satire on LeBron James.

LeBron James himself heard it.

After half time, Suxi once again held the ball to assault his guarded defense, and passed the ball to Wang Zhizhi, who hit a jumper in the high post.

Suhi is revitalizing the offensive of the whole team.

Looking back, Hinrich missed the long shot, and the rebound was won by Yao Ming.

The two sides come and go.

The Chinese team has always maintained the lead, and it is still slowly improving.

The Dream Team didn't have a good idea, even if they threw James to the bench.

Coach K felt embarrassed because he couldn't guard against either Su Xi or Yao Ming.

When there are two super strong and unsolvable points on the opposite side, no matter how big the overall advantage of your side is, it is just a fog.

He can only wait for Yao Ming's fitness to drop, and then use his talent advantage to crush the Chinese team in one fell swoop, regain the lead, and take the lead.

However, in the second quarter of the game, the Chinese team replaced Yao Ming. They get into fast attack mode faster than the Dream Team.

Su Xi is a point guard, and then paired with Zhu Fangyu, Li Nan, Yi Jianlian, and Wang Zhizhi, four tall shooters.

Show off the real one star and four arrows.

In fact, it should be five arrows.

Because Sushi also has the ability to shoot three-pointers.

The Dream Team and the Chinese team are facing each other, and they are more athletic and can score in the box without Yao Ming.

However, they also couldn't defend against Suhi's assault, and when Suxi transmitted his powerful kinetic energy to his teammates and allowed the opponent to complete the projection, they still couldn't stop it.

Therefore, after the second quarter, the Dream Team did not narrow the difference, and even expanded the difference from 7 points to 11 points.

At halftime, the fans cheered for Suhi and celebrated the victory of the east wind over the west wind.

The Dream Team is gloomy, they are feeling tricky now, they don't know how to deal with Su Xi, and they don't know how to beat the Chinese team.

They're like headless flies.

Now, without Yao Ming's lineup, they can't beat it.

When Yao Ming returns in the second half, how can it continue?

I can't fight at all.

Old Coach K's head was scratching his head.

At this time, Charles Barkley, who was sitting in the commentary seat, finally understood why Suhi would be so sworn before the game.

It's true that many NBA superstars don't know how to play in FIBA, with little dominance and a lot of fighting on their own.

On top of that, U.S. dominance over the interior is declining rapidly.
