Despite Larry Brown's lack of confidence in his pre-match interview, he didn't concede defeat right away, saying, "The fight hasn't started yet, anything can happen. ”

The Dream Six's hopes of victory lie in Duncan and Iverson, and everyone is looking forward to their wonderful performances. Iverson and Duncan are completely different types of players, but they stand tightly together because of the Olympics. Dream Six is inseparable from the inspiration of Iverson's spiritual power. Similarly, Dream Six is inseparable from Duncan's selfless contribution in every game.

Although in the quarterfinals, Mengliu will face a Chinese team with a terrifying three-point shooter like Chen Feng, but Mengliu is still optimistic about his future and confident in winning the game.

"I'm very confident," said Duncan, one of the co-captains, "and we've learned a lot in this Olympics." I think we're in a good place right now. We're glad the team is in the next round and we feel good to have the opportunity to defend our title. We love this opportunity and will do our best^ to seize it. ”

In this young team, Iverson and Duncan are undoubtedly seniors. The key to the victory of the U.S.^ national team is still Iverson and Duncan.

"Everybody's eyes were on Iverson and Duncan. Head coach Larry Brown said, "Iverson is the oldest player on this team and it's his responsibility to lead the team to victory. Anyone who has come to play in the NBA knows that he is a very talented player, and he is highly respected for his accomplishments. ”

Iverson's spirit sustains this team. His off-field "deeds" are as well known as his counterparts on the pitch, and the personality Iverson is the spiritual leader of this team. "No matter what kind of opponent we play against at any time, our only goal is to beat them until we get the gold medal. "I'm confident we can do it." If we can't, then there's no need for us to lace up. I don't think Chen Feng is as scary as the media reported, I have watched his game video, and his three-point shot is really sharp. It's the same with breakouts, dribbling, and I can say he's a basketball player who is somewhat similar to me, but I've been playing in the NBA for so many years. And he's just an amateur, and I'm not afraid of him for anything. None of us think he's as scary as the media says, he might cause us problems, but we're definitely going to solve them and win this game. ”

The little Iverson was a frank man, but the big Duncan spoke in a much more tactful tone. Duncan said: "My watch in the game may not be exciting yet. But I've been playing with my heart and I'm going to be more efficient on the pitch and not just ^please the crowd. My team-mates and I are very confident of winning this game. Chen Feng and Yao are also very good players, but they can't stop us. ”

Duncan averaged a team-high 15.6 points per game at the Olympics. He also averaged 11 rebounds per game, the highest of any Olympic athlete. Dream Six's poor shooting percentage from the outside makes Duncan's rebounds even more precious. A third of Duncan's rebounds are offensive rebounds. It created more offensive opportunities for the team. Dream Six was able to get to where it is today, and Duncan contributed to it.

'He's done everything and he's a great guy on and off the pitch. James said of Duncan, "It's a privilege to be his teammate. ”

Iverson averaged 13.8 points per game when Duncan was caught in the middle. He can step up and share the responsibility of scoring. But on the 3-point line, he shot just 8-of-25.

'The opponent is always in the defensive and when my team-mates play the ball to me, there are always two or three people around me who are defending me and I have to send the ball out and into the hands of people who are out of defence. Duncan said.

and the Chinese team. Duncan's opponent will be Yao Ming, a player from the NBA Rockets. Yao Ming was not very dazzling in the Olympic Games because of Chen Feng's brilliance, but no one doubted that he was a very powerful center. Yao Ming is good both offensively and defensively, and now the Chinese national team is skillful under Harris's tutelage^ and Chen Feng, the attack power is undoubtedly the strongest in this Olympic Games, which is something that worries Brown.

"The Huaguo team is the most attacking team I have seen in the Olympics, and Chen Feng is the most attacking player, and it is difficult for anyone to guard against him. Brown stressed this point so much that many reporters even began to suspect that he was making excuses for the upcoming defeat in advance.

Iverson, the spiritual leader of the Dream Six, and Duncan, the team's biggest contributor, complement each other well on the court, and they support each other and support the team. Will they be able to achieve glory at the Olympics? The Chinese team will be their touchstone. And from a certain point of view, one of the main highlights of tonight's game is the duel between Chen Feng and Iverson, they are indeed the same type of players, both are team guards, the same ball control and dribbling are very good, the same breakthrough is sharp, the ball is fast, and the three-point shot is excellent.

If Iverson is inferior to Chen Feng, his three-point shooting percentage in this Olympics is really bad, and he has made several three-point shots in a row. Therefore, even if he has a strong breakthrough, a strong steal, and a strong ability to organize and attack, it will be in vain if he does not score in the end.

The most important thing is that Iverson is old and is going downhill, while Chen Feng is very young, if it is a one-on-one duel, no one will be optimistic about Iverson, although he is the Batman who often kills opponents on the basketball court back then.

"Well, there's five minutes to go. In this game, Chen Feng is still not in the starting list, but we are all sure that Chen Feng will definitely play this time, and now it can be said that the whole world is paying attention to when Chen Feng will play, and when will Coach Harris send him on the field, two guests, what do you think of Harris's possible tactical arrangements this time?"

Coach Chen said: "I have said before, if I were Harris, I would definitely let Chen Feng start, and then adjust it slightly according to his body, basically I would definitely let him play the whole game." Of course, considering that Chen Feng still has a track and field competition tonight, it is a little unrealistic to let Chen Feng play the whole game, but at least it will make the team fall behind. will send Chen Feng on the field to fight fires and suppress the opponent. This is the most reasonable arrangement. But how Harris will arrange it depends on his personal intentions, and it also depends on the track and field competition that Chen Feng will participate in next tonight. ”

Fan Zhizhi also agrees with Coach Chen's statement: "The most reasonable arrangement. It was indeed when the team was in trouble that Chen Feng was sent on the court to suppress the opponent. In this way, the opponent can play very uncomfortable and uncomfortable. Affect the opponent's morale and on-the-spot performance. ”

In fact, Harris did think about and prepare to arrange Chen Feng in this way, before the game, he also specifically asked Chen Feng himself to communicate guò, Chen Feng of course has no objection to this arrangement, and the Olympic team has now begun to shift its focus and attention to the men's basketball game, although the track and field competition that Chen Feng participated in is more important next, but it is obviously not as important as the men's basketball team. If the men's basketball team can finally win the championship, this will also be completely fantastic, just like Chen Feng won the 100-meter competition, and the impact is very huge.

After all, basketball is now recognized as one of the most popular balls in the world. Globally, in addition to football, basketball is the most popular and loved by most people around the world.

Therefore, the leadership of the Olympic team is now very concerned and attaches great importance to the next games of the men's basketball team, especially in the case of this kind of knockout round, there is no room for loss at all. Therefore, the leader of the regiment did not restrict Chen Feng's appearance this time, but gave the green light to the men's basketball team, and instead asked Chen Feng to cooperate with the men's basketball team. This somewhat made the track and field team feel a little depressed, but after all, they also know what national honor and overall situation are, compared to Chen Feng's next track and field competition. Basketball is a bit more important.

However, Harris is still a coach with a more work ethic, he is responsible for his players, considering that Chen Feng will go to the Olympic Stadium immediately after this basketball game to start the track and field competition, and it is also a final, he will try his best to let Chen Feng save his body, otherwise, he will definitely let Chen Feng start, and then play the whole court, in this case, I believe that this game may only be in the first half to completely lock up the victory.

Before Chen Feng joined the men's basketball team, the championship may almost not exist, but now it has become very likely, their Huaguo men's basketball team is now the deserved favorite to win the championship, several major bookmakers have already adjusted the odds, from the beginning of the Huaguo men's basketball team to win the odds of 1 to 19, the odds have been constantly lowered, into the current one to 0.75, and at the beginning there is no comparison at all.

Although Larry Brown did not have much confidence before the game, when the game was about to start, he also cheered up the players loudly, and then formulated a corresponding defensive strategy for Chen Feng and Yao Ming.

Before the game, in addition to them, the NBA's pride, almost all of them were not optimistic that they could win, which made them embarrassed?

Although many of them were fans of Long before, they were not brainless fans after all, and now when they conflict with their own honor, they all have the same hatred for the enemy, and they taboo Chen Feng's current influence, and they did not directly target Chen Feng or Chen Feng Some ugly words, but they actually had the idea of preventing Chen Feng from death and making him ugly when the time came.

Chen Feng was in a relatively relaxed mood at this time, and as a substitute, he listened quietly to Harris's tactical explanation with his teammates. The game started right away.

At the beginning of the game, the starting players of the U.S. ^ national team were: Marbury, Iverson, Jefferson, Duncan, and Odom, and the starting lineup of the Chinese national team was: Yao Ming, Liu Wei, Zhu Fangyu, Mo Ke, and Zhang Jinsong. Chen Feng is a substitute, but we all know that in the face of such a life-and-death battle, it is impossible for Chen Feng not to play. ”

"Yes, it's a quarter-round knockout round, it's very crucial for every team, you can't afford to lose, and if you want to win the championship and get to the semi-finals, you have to beat your opponents. And our Huaguo team is now the favorite to win the championship, and it is impossible to let Chen Feng think that the super shooter is a cold bench. ”

"This game will be a tough test for the Dream Six team. The Chinese team has only lost one game in the group stage, winning the other four games and ranking first in the group stage. The U.S. ^ national team lost to Puerto Rico and Lithuania successively. It was because of the loss of these two games that the Dream Six team had to meet our Huaguo team in the quarterfinals today. ”

"Chen Feng was very good in the first few games, and he could even be said to be very amazing, and his three-point shot made the opponent feel desperate. ”

"Both teams are going to give it a go today. Especially for the U.S. ^ national team, the quality of Duncan and Iverson will determine the future of the Dream Six team. ”

The game officially begins, when the ball is jumped. The ball was somewhat unexpectedly acquired by Duncan, and the U.S. ^ team attacked first. The speed was fast, Duncan was on the back of the basket against Yao Ming, and received a pass from Marbury to score with a hook hand.

The Huaguo team began to attack, but under the joint defense of the Mi national team throughout the game, there was almost a mistake. Yao Ming under the basket received Zhu Fangyu's pass and was about to dunk, but was killed by a big block from Duncan.

A beautiful pass from the U.S. ^ national team. Duncan's layup caused Yao Ming to foul at the same time, and Duncan hit a free throw, and the score suddenly became 5:0. This made the Huaguo team a little unable to react, and Yao Ming, who was blocked by Duncan and cheated into fouls, was even more depressed. was restrained all of a sudden.

The start was still very good for the Mi Guo team, and the Hua Guo team seemed a little passive at the beginning, and it couldn't adapt to the rhythm of the Mi Guo team at all, including Yao Ming, who suddenly seemed a little unconfident.

Harris, who was standing on the sidelines holding two arms, frowned slightly, turned his head and shouted to Chen Feng on the bench not far away: "Feng!

Chen Feng nodded and took off the sportswear he was wearing. Stand up and start moving your hands and feet.

The camera immediately caught Chen Feng's situation on the sidelines, which caused a burst of excited screams from the audience.

The morale of the Huaguo team was suddenly boosted, and the momentum that the Mi national team had just played couldn't help but stagnate slightly.

"Everyone has seen that Chen Feng may be going to play. He was doing a warm-up. Obviously, the United States team caught the Chinese team off guard at the beginning, which made Harris a little dissatisfied. ”

However, Harris did not immediately replace Chen Feng on the court, so the game on the court continued, the ball of the Huaguo team, Yao Ming may have been stimulated by the coach to replace Chen Feng on the court, singled Duncan under the basket, hit two points with a hook, and finally scored the first goal of the team, and the score became 2:5.

In this case, Harris has no intention of replacing Chen Feng immediately. Obviously, his behavior of letting Chen Feng get up to warm up is also a tactical strategy, which not only puts psychological pressure on the opponent, but also gives motivation and morale to the players of the team.

As a result, it is obvious that Duncan, a veteran, was somewhat affected by this behavior, the jump shot missed, Odom grabbed the rebound, and Odom didn't hit the basket, made up again, missed again, the rebound was grabbed by Yao Ming, and the quick pass to Liu Wei played a counterattack, but Iverson returned to the defense very quickly, Liu Wei passed to Zhu Fangyu, Zhu Fangyu shot three points and did not score, the rebound was grabbed by Odom again, and it was also a quick counterattack.

After Iverson received the ball, he quickly advanced in possession, shook off Zhu Fangyu's defense, and hit two jumpers from inside the three-point line.

The Huaguo team attacked, Yao Ming received a wonderful pass from Mo Ke inside, scored a layup, and also caused Duncan's foul, and finally found the previous court, Yao Ming hit the free throw very easily.

The U.S. ^ national team launched an attack, Odom shot a zero-angle shot^ and missed a three-pointer, the rebound was obtained by Yao Ming, Zhu Fangyu threw three points again, but the result still did not go in, Duncan got the rebound, and quickly passed to Iverson, Iverson hit a three-point shot from a zero angle, and the audience spontaneously responded with warm applause.

Next, Zhu Fangyu threw a three-pointer again, and finally hit it. The scores of the two sides began to rise alternately, but by the end of the first quarter, Harris finally did not send Chen Feng on the court, much to the disappointment of the audience.

At the end of the first quarter, the score was 20-26, and the Chinese team was six points behind, which was not a big gap, and Harris was still relatively satisfied.

After a short break, the second quarter of the game began immediately. Yao Ming scored first on a layup. Then Duncan returned the color.

Overall, the game in the second quarter was comparable to the game in the first quarter, and the scores of the two sides continued to rise alternately, and when it was over, the score became 41-49, and the Chinese team was 8 points behind, which was also completely acceptable.

To be honest, such a result is somewhat surprising, because it is widely recognized that the Huaguo team without Chen Feng is a fish belly team. Although the level of the Dream Six team is the lowest in history, everyone will not really think that he is a weak team, and it can be said that the Huaguo team without Chen Feng should be completely vulnerable when facing the Dream Six team, just like when facing the Argentine team.

But now that the first half of the game is over, the Huaguo team is only eight points behind, and the offensive and defensive battles between the two sides have been back and forth before, and on the surface, it seems that the Huaguo team is not much worse than the Mi Guo team, which is a little impressive. When did the Huaguo team become so strong without Chen Feng?

And many people with a heart can see that the Mi Guo team didn't seem to do much in the first half, and they suspect that the Mi Guo team did it on purpose.

In fact, this is indeed deliberate by the United States team, because it is the tactical strategy of head coach Larry Brown. T
