Chapter five hundred and twentieth the gap like a gully
ps: This chapter is a ten thousand rewards for the Zi Yu Ban Yue!
The game reached the semi-finals and the United States also began to broadcast the Olympics live. The commentators of this game were t.nt's golden partners Barkley and Kenny Smith. △↗,
"Hey, welcome to watch the Olympic live broadcast we brought to you. This is the semi-final of the US team this Olympics. Their opponent is the Chinese team." Smith said.
"Hey, are you kidding me? The opponent is the Chinese team? Yes! It's them. They just created history and reached the semi-finals of the Olympics. They are the biggest dark horses of this Olympics!" Barkley shouted in his own question and answer.
"This is also our second time playing against the Chinese team. Speaking of which, the Chinese team is really lucky. They lost to us in the first big score, but then they met the Frenchman who were injured by Jokin (referring to Noah) and Rudy (referring to Gobert). After that, they played against weak teams like Australia and Venezuela in a row. In the quarter-finals, they were against the weak Brazilians. I think there is no better schedule than this." Kenny Smith said with contempt.
"Don't worry about the process. Now the Chinese are standing opposite us. Speaking of which, there is also our old acquaintance, Don, who always seems to be able to appear in the game we commented on." Barkley said as he suddenly turned his head to look at Smith, "Hey, Kenny, speaking of it, the plaid underwear you wore in the studio last time was really sexy."
Barkley said it, and Smith immediately reached out to cover her face.
In previous gambling games, Barkley always lost the person, but in the last warm-up match between the Chinese and American teams, Smith lost the gambling between the two for the first time. As a result, he took off his outer pants in public during the program commentary according to Barkley's request, revealing the sexy plaid underwear inside. The ratings of that episode of T.nt program reached a new high in the past two months.
After losing the gambling, Barkley finally won a game back and moved out to say it as soon as he had the chance.
"We need to pay attention to the game, the game, ok?" Smith finished speaking with an excited expression, but after he immediately burst into laughter.
"Dou~"
At this moment, a long whistle sounded at the scene. After the warm-up between China and the United States was completed, the players walked from the sidelines to the court, and the semi-finals of both sides were about to start.
Although the United States has conducted live broadcasts, there are not many viewers watching the live broadcast. After all, in the eyes of most people, it is really difficult to compare the Chinese team and the American team at the same level.
This can be seen from the number of fans watching the game on the spot. Even if it is just a Mexico, there are very few American fans watching the game on the spot. It is estimated that there are only four or five hundred people.
In contrast, the reaction of Chinese fans is completely different.
The Chinese men's basketball team entered the semi-finals, and this kind of thing is the lucky thing to encounter in their lifetime when they enter the World Cup, not to mention that due to the time difference on the 19th, China's time is Saturday!
What a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
A large number of Chinese fans have poured into the basketball stadium in Brazil, and they occupy almost half of the entire stadium. This is still in the case of threats from Zika virus!
It can be imagined that if there were no such virus, the entire arena might have been occupied by Chinese fans!
Thinking about it carefully is terrifying!
In any case, Brazil's home court has undoubtedly become the home court of the Chinese team. A Chinese beauty with the Chinese flag is printed on it, a middle-aged uncle with a big beer belly but still handsome, and even a family with family members. The only purpose of the fans coming to the scene is to cheer for the Chinese team.
Regardless of the score, no matter the winning or losing, this is the enthusiasm of Chinese fans.
When Tang Shuai and his teammates walked on the court, he couldn't help feeling moved. This is the crazier move of Chinese fans than in a quarter of the game, and there is no better help than this.
He suddenly called out the other four and said in a deep voice: "Brothers, look at the fans around us, we must never give up, we must fight to the end! Absolutely!"
The teammates nodded vigorously. They were already full of morale. With the cheers of fans, they had already entered a state of full morale before the game began.
"come on!"
The five men folded their hands and pressed them down sharply, adding a last breath of morale to themselves before the game began.
"The Chinese players seem to be in good spirits." Barkley praised in the studio after seeing it.
"Chinese people always like format, but in this situation, no matter how much morale is, it is impossible to change the strength gap between the two sides. We have not used all our strength in the group stage. In the knockout round, there will be no suspense in this game." Smith said disapprovingly.
The Chinese team still maintained the lineup of the previous few games, and Zhao Haoyan still replaced Guo Ailun and appeared as the team's shooting guard.
On the American team, Jordan Jr. did not appear in the lineup. He sat at the end of the bench in a training suit. It seemed that his ankle injury was not minor. He should not be able to make it in this game. Cousins was replaced.
At this time, Cousins had already changed a lot compared to when he was first selected for the national team. Under the guidance of coach K, he had already controlled his temper well and became the independent inside pillar. Although he was not before, he contributed great help to the team's winning streak. Now Jordan cannot play, so he naturally appeared in the position.
Leonard, who partnered with Cousins, replaced George's previous position in the national team.
Durant served as the team's starting small forward without any suspense, and the back line was a combination of Irving and Jimmy Butler on one offense and one defense.
Although it is only the second team that the United States can currently line up, this lineup that is comparable to the All-Star is enough to crush the opponent.
Although Cousins and Yi Jianlian who jumped the ball, although they jumped well, Yi Jianlian still seemed to suffer a lot when they encountered a tank-like body like Cousins.
Team USA got the chance to take the lead in attacking.
Irving held the ball and directed the outside.
Although it is not a point guard in the traditional sense, Irving's dribble and breakthrough are indeed the best among the active players.
At this moment, he stood on the outside and reached out to signal the tactical running. When Durant's off-ball run successfully attracted the Chinese team's defensive attention, he accelerated and rushed directly into the inside.
Yi Jianlian took the step back and returned to defense, but he seemed clumsy in front of Irving. After Irving's continuous cross-step shaking, he had completely lost the focus of his defense.
With a low-handed layup, Irving won the first two points in the semi-finals for the US national team.
The American fans at the scene did not show too much emotional fluctuation. Irving's movements were very beautiful, but in their eyes, this was just an ordinary layup.
In the Chinese team's offense, Tang Shuai pushed the ball to the three-point line, and invited Yi Jianlian to come up and make a pick-and-roll, and broke through to the inside. Cousins contracted his defense, and Leonard directly made up for defense.
At this time, it makes sense that the US team is called the Dream Team. Leonard, or George before, played in the NBA's third position, but in international competitions, there was no problem with them swinging to the fourth position. Tang Shuai is now taking the pick-and-roll in. If he faces Aldridge or a big man like Davis, it would be easy for him to score, but with his current strength, he still has little chance.
Seeing that he had no chance, he turned around and went out of the three-point line again.
Back at the three-point line and reorganized, he gave Zhou Qi a good chance, but after Cousins' tough physical confrontation, Zhou Qi's shooting movements were deformed and he jumped out of the basket. The rebound was grabbed by Durant, who was back in defense.
Irving re-used the attack of the US team, but this time he passed the ball to Cousins, who suppressed Yi Jianlian and scored.
During the Chinese team's offense, Tang Shuai scored again. This time, he gave Yi Jianlian under the basket. Yi Jianlian was pressed by Cousins and got two free throws.
But I don’t know if Cousins’s excessive movements caused his arm to be injured when he committed a foul, or he was a little too nervous. Yi Jianlian threw his arm and jumped out of the basket.
The rebound was caught by Cousins, and the Chinese team returned in vain for two consecutive attacks.
When I returned home, Irving handed the ball to Cousins inside the lineman. Cousins beat Yi Jianlian on his back. The move after turning around caused the latter's foul.
Two free throw opportunities!
It was completely different from Yi Jianlian just now, Cousins made two free throws.
After losing his irritable temper, Cousins showed strong dominance in the inside.
Looking back, Tang Shuai tried to score for the Chinese team, but Leonard and Butler seemed to have expected this and made him a dumpling near the basket. His offense was ineffective against the two defensive players.
Looking back, the US team played a fast break, and Durant directly made a one-handed slash.
Team USA played the Chinese team 8-0 at the beginning.
Gong Luming frowned on the sidelines. The coach's ability can only be played when the players are of equal strength. The situation in front of him is useless at all.
Tang Shuai dribbled to the frontcourt and looked up at the score above his head. He realized that the United States has always been called the Dream Team, not what they boast about, but what other countries have defaulted on.
Without James, Paul, Westbrook, and even Howard, this can only be regarded as the second team of the United States. The center was absent due to injury, and the team that was still indulging in the bar the day before, their strength is still so strong!
He turned his head to look at his teammates around him. He was completely different from his initial state. After being unable to score continuously, but being scored continuously by the United States, a look of frustration appeared on their faces uncontrollably.
Can't you really beat it? Is it really just that he is just a whimsical? Is the gap in strength between China and the United States far greater than the gap between the Clippers and the Warriors? This is a gap that cannot be filled like a ravine?
"China team! Come on!"
Just as Tang Shuai's confidence began to shake, deafening cheers from the sidelines came from his ears.
Chapter completed!
