"Doon, can you sign it for me? I'm your fan! ”

"Me too!"

"Me too!"

After beating the Croatian men's basketball team, Doon is preparing to leave with the rest of the men's basketball team.

Unexpectedly, the players of the Croatian men's basketball team, and even some members of the coaching staff, came to Doon together, posed as fans, and asked Doon for autographs.

It's not the first time Doon has encountered this situation, as it was already at the Olympics two years ago.

It's just that he announced his retirement last year and bid farewell to the competition stage, and in the past year, he has not encountered such a situation at the competition site.

"Doon, you're going to keep playing, right?"

"Thank you, thank you for your signature. Looking forward to getting back to the NBA. ”

"Thank you so much, my wife and son are also your fans!"

"Doon, can you take a picture with us?"

In the face of a group of cute fans, Doon naturally did not refuse their requests for autographs and group photos.

As for the question of returning to the NBA and when he will return, Doon didn't reveal too much to them, just responded with a smile.

It didn't take long for Doon to say goodbye to the fans, but also to the live audience.

Immediately afterwards, he took the car back to the hotel with the rest of his teammates of the men's basketball team, reviewed the game, and summarized the gains and losses of this game.

When the men's basketball team discussed the content of the game behind closed doors, some media from the outside world who were more interested in the men's basketball team paid more attention to Doon's personal state.

"Doon scored 27 points on 22 shots in the first game of the Men's Basketball World Cup, and the legend ended ordinary."

"It's cold to the touch! Doon shot all 4 three-pointers, and his performance in the first game of the Men's Basketball World Cup was average. ”

"Still needs to be adjusted! The legendary shooter failed to regain his touch as expected, scoring 27 points to lead the team to victory, but failed to hit a three-pointer! ”

As early as some time ago, some news of Doon's performance in the domestic warm-up game reached North America.

Many fans discussed this, but most fans thought that Doon would quickly regain his touch and his competitive form would pick up immediately.

Who knows, now that the group stage of the Men's Basketball World Cup has started, Doon's shooting status is still like this!

This will undoubtedly make more and more fans look down on Doon's next performance in the Men's Basketball World Cup.

However, at this time, the members of the Dream 11 team, who also participated in the Men's Basketball World Cup, are more optimistic about this.

"I'm sure Doon will be back and hopefully I can meet them in the next fights."

"That's right, Doon won't be defeated by such difficulties, he will definitely find his touch.

And for us, it is undoubtedly more meaningful to beat the stronger Doon.

I also hope that next season I will have the opportunity to play against Doon.

I couldn't make it in time for Michael's comeback, but I hope to beat Doon who is still in his prime. ”

"We've missed the chance to play the best Doon, but the next win is still meaningful for us."

"If it weren't for the fight against Doon, I wouldn't be here to fight with you, I'd rather beat you on the court."

"I just hope Doon can get back to his groove sooner, otherwise we probably won't be able to meet the team he leads."

"Actually, Doon is still terrible without shooting, and we don't have what it takes to defend Doon in the low post, and the same goes for other teams."

"We'll see, I'm sure in a few days, Doon will be leading his team to us."

also won the first win in the group stage, the Dream Eleven team has no opponent in Group A, and they can win by playing casually.

The men's basketball team needs to use all their skills to beat their opponents.

During the first game of the group stage, Doon didn't even dare to shoot too many three-pointers, testing whether the shooter felt like he was getting it back.

However, Doon soon found an opportunity to test the results of his workouts and shoot three-pointers on the court at will.

Because this time the opponent is the Greek team, which is at its peak.

As early as the first half, the men's basketball team was beaten by the Greek team, creating a huge 16-point difference.

In this case, the men's basketball team has no good way to do it, so it can only try to feel in the third quarter and whether it can recover the difference by relying on three-point shots.

Because the men's basketball team will definitely not be able to maintain the efficiency of both offensive and defensive ends in the fourth quarter, if the score cannot be tied in the third quarter, the fourth quarter will definitely be no play.

However, the 16-point difference has been opened before, and it is really difficult to chase it.

Moreover, the men's basketball team does not have players who can shoot consecutive three-pointers.

As a result, Doon had to step up and digest the ball.

It's just that muscle memory can't be recovered in ten days and half a month, and the shooting feel can't be cultivated by blindly striking iron.

With no hope of winning, Doon shot ten three-pointers in the third quarter alone.

It was a bit frustrating, but it did score two goals.

The shooting rate is not high, but for men's basketball players and domestic fans, it is a good sign to be able to shoot three-pointers in the game.

By the fourth quarter, the game had actually been reduced to garbage time, with the men's basketball team trailing Greece by 26 points.

However, the Greek team did not rush to the end, and switched to a pure bench lineup at the beginning of the fourth quarter.

Because after this game, less than 24 hours later, the men's basketball team will play the third group game, so it has also removed other main players except for Doon.

It's not that Doon isn't tired, he just wants to get his touch back sooner.

In the fourth quarter of the game, Doon not only shot three-pointers, mid-range, and mid-range throws, and Doon also shot several.

Because the Greek team deliberately put Doon to shoot, Doon's shooting percentage in the fourth quarter was not so ugly.

5 of 12 shots, 2 of 6 three-point shots, but also because the defense was very loose, Doon didn't make free throws, just relied on shooting, 12 points on 12 shots, and the efficiency was also average.

At the end of the game, Doon scored 34 points but consumed 36 shots.

If it weren't for the favor of the Greek team in the fourth quarter, Doon's performance would undoubtedly be extremely crotch-pulling.

However, in the next third group game, Doon completed the redemption.

Originally, this game was very difficult, after all, the men's basketball team did not have a good rest, basically slept for six hours, was woken up to wash and eat, and then started training and warmed up to prepare for the game.

Played again the top two strong team in Group B - Argentina.

In the case of a lack of people and a strong opponent, Doon relied on low-post singles to help the men's basketball team open up the situation early.

At the end of the first half, Doon relied on 16 shots to help the men's basketball team score 28 points.

In the third quarter, when Yi Jianlian finally broke out, Doon smoked in the bottom corner, rested for a while, and then waited for Yi Jianlian to be unable to play, and then took over the ball and continued to chisel hard in the low post.

As the players of the golden era of the Argentine team age, no one in the Argentine team can limit the "weight-gaining" Doon.

Doon relied on a 36-point performance in the first three quarters to help the men's basketball team build an 11-point lead before the start of the fourth quarter.

The rest of the men's basketball team also realized that as long as they won the Argentine team and held two points, they were basically guaranteed to advance to the group stage, so they played especially hard in the next fourth quarter.

Guo Allen, who only relied on free throws to score one point in the first three quarters, also hardened a wave, and scored 4 points in a row at the beginning of the fourth quarter.

Then the men's basketball team's outside three-point shots were also shot one after another, and the Argentine men's basketball team tried to chase the score with a three-point shot, but it made a mistake in the chaos, and Doon seized the opportunity to play two conversions.

At this point, Doon's personal score has reached 40 points.

It is worth mentioning that in order to show respect for Doon, the Argentine team took the initiative to call a timeout to let Doon enjoy the cheers of the fans at the scene.

I have to say that after less than a day of back-to-back games, Doon's style of play is mostly scored under the basket, and he can still play a 40-point performance in a single game, which is indeed extraordinary.

Of course, the Argentine coach took the initiative to call a timeout, also because Doon has achieved brilliant results in the NBA and international leagues in the past.

Therefore, not everyone who goes downhill will be ridiculed.

The gods who have actually reached the highest peak will be respected by mortals even after descending the mountain.

Although Doon's godhead is also a little fat because of the media hype, it is still very stable overall.

After the game, the Argentine team not only asked Doon for autographs and group photos, but also congratulated and praised Doon for his performance tonight.

In the midst of many compliments, Doon finally breathed a sigh of relief.

And on September 3, after playing against Puerto Rico, Doon was finally able to relax completely.

75-70, the men's basketball team won its third victory in the group stage.

With three points in hand, the men's basketball team not only managed to advance to the knockout rounds, but also guaranteed to qualify as second in the group by beating Puerto Rico and Argentina.

This also means that in the last game of the group stage, against Senegal, the men's basketball team can strategically give up conserving physical strength, or let Doon shoot one more shot and continue to find his touch. (End of chapter)
