Chapter 349: Against the Defending Champion

ps: When I uploaded this chapter, I found that there were too many harmony parts, and it took a long time to change it to get through guò, and I didn't let me swear!

After Canada's victory over Australia, that night, the Chinese men's basketball team, which has three major inside lines and is known as the "strongest in history", faced the unstoppable Mengba on the same court, and the game was in the tsunami-like shouts of fans in the Wukesong Gymnasium, although the Chinese men's basketball team resisted hard, but still lost to the United States team 100:70 and missed the semifinals.

The Chinese men's basketball team finally ranked eighth and failed to break the best record in history, which is a bit regrettable.

And some fans can't help but wonder, why Argentina and Greece have not yet played, and the Chinese men's basketball team has been determined to be eighth?

This is because of the ranking rules of the men's basketball team in this Olympic Games, because there is no ranking battle in this Olympic Games, the record and points won and lost in the group stage determine the final ranking of the teams outside the top four, and the following are the three rules:

1. According to the record of the group stage, the best record will be the fifth place, and so on;

2. If the record in the group stage is the same, then it will be calculated according to their ranking in the respective group stage, and the final ranking of the higher ranking in the group stage will be higher, and so on;

3. If the team has the same record and the same ranking in each group, the ranking will be based on the percentage of points scored and lost in all the matches in which the team participates.

Judging from this rule, the Chinese men's basketball team has undoubtedly fallen into the disadvantage, and the Chinese team that advanced to the group stage with 2 wins: 3 losses is the worst record among the eight teams (Australia and Croatia are both 3 wins and 2 losses), and the first rule has been triggered after being eliminated: so there is no need to compare the small score and the group ranking, the men's basketball team has already ranked eighth. And this is also quite regrettable for fans who expect the men's basketball team to break the all-time record.

But there are also many Chinese fans who feel. If the Chinese team wants to break the historical record with this method. Even if you succeed, you don't have a face, either you win the game and reach the semi-finals with your head held high, which is to break the record; Since you lose, that is to stop in the quarterfinals, in addition to making some leaders look better in their political performance, is there a use?

Looking at the Canadian team, the two brothers, Ganache, are immediately a triumvirate combination. If the twins had joined the Chinese team, plus Yao Ming, they were also the Big Three, they could also reach the semi-finals!

The Chinese team stopped in the quarterfinals again, and it was these rats who only knew that they took into account their immediate personal interests, and the bullshit leaders who were thirsty for fishing led the three major balls in China to be inferior to one generation, and the talents were even more embarrassed by the broken chain. After two years, when Yao Ming retires, do you expect Yi Jianlian to be the top of the Chinese team?

Looking at Argentina, the champion of the last Olympic Games, the education system is not as good as that of Europe and the United States. The population is less than 100 million, but a very special way of selecting basketball materials has been formulated according to local conditions. The goal is to find more kids who have the potential to become basketball superstars.

Officials from basketball associations across Argentina often visit schools to select talented and tall children and establish direct contact with each school; The school will take the initiative to send the information of gifted children to the local basketball associations, and can be rewarded by the basketball associations. In addition, the Argentine Basketball Association has special funds for those who are in poor areas or have difficult family conditions, and these measures can minimize the opportunity for children with basketball talent or physical conditions to miss out on basketball training.

But in China, each of our schools also has a lot of good seedlings with outstanding height and good physique. But whether it's basketball or football, how many schools are dedicated to discovering these children's athletic talents? In the end, those talented children missed the golden period of training in vain, and China does not know how many talented children are wasted every year!

At this time, where are the relevant departments with our vast powers? In addition to corruption and corruption, and pestering Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian every day to ask for kickbacks, can these bastards of the Basketball Association have time to trouble you to do a little personnel? Without new stars, where will you go to corruption in the future?

Oh well, it seems that this question has returned to the original answer, people haven't thought about it so far, and it is Wang Yu Dao to make a fortune and immigrate quickly after a few years, and I am the big man who drafted them!

If the Chinese Basketball Association can change a group of officials who have ideals and ambitions and really like basketball in the future, it doesn't matter if these people are still corrupt and corrupt, as long as you do what you should do in addition to corruption, you are a good official.

China can refer to Argentina's method to select good seedlings by directly giving school rewards, China's post-80s and post-90s and even post-00s are getting better and better, and the body is no longer a shackle that restricts the development of Chinese players, but lacks a policy that can find out these good seedlings and cultivate them carefully, and there is a lack of a good official who really thinks about Chinese basketball, that is, he uses Zhang to be the director of the Basketball Association, which is better than those laymen.

Damn, it's a lot of, after the Chinese team was eliminated by the American team, Kobe Bryant commented after playing with Sun Yue: "He's a little genius, I think he will get better and better, because he has such outstanding physical conditions." ”

Ji Guoyan smiled secretly after hearing this, Sun Yue's body is really good, but he is not the kind of person who really likes basketball. Anthony's crazy training energy will not slip back from the NBA.

In addition to good physical health, basketball, skills, ball intelligence, and diligence are also top priorities, and if you want to become a player who can play the main team in the NBA, you must have at least two of them; And to become an All-Star, you must have at least three points; If you want to become a superstar, you need all four!

On August 21, after Canada's victory over Australia, the team watched Argentina and Greece match the next day, and their semi-final opponents were the winners of these two teams.

The men's basketball champion at the 2004 Athens Olympics was Argentina, a team that played as a whole, and the players worked together very well and played very steadily. They have improved a lot in recent years, finishing runner-up at last year's US Championships and finishing fourth at the 2006 World Men's Basketball Championships with a 7-2 record.

Today, most of the main players of the Argentine men's basketball team are in the prime of their careers, which increases their hopes of defending their title at the Beijing Olympics. The United States, Spain and Canada are Argentina's strongest opponents on the way to the championship, and Greece is not weak, but in the eyes of major media, they have little chance of winning against Argentina.

The result of this match was not expected, and the Argentine team, which was not inferior to Spain and Canada, defeated Greece without danger and broke into the semi-finals!

In the past two years, when football has not brought joy to the country for a long time, it was Ginoby who used the Olympic champion and NBA championship to appease the sports-loving Pampas, who have become a symbol in Argentina.

Ginobili, who played well in the game, said as early as last season that Argentina should gather a "golden generation" of players to compete in the Beijing Olympics and strive to defend the title.

In the 2007 Championship of the Americas, the Argentine team, which lacked the big players Ginobili and Nocioni, failed to win the championship under the leadership of Rocket power forward Scola and only finished second.

Argentina have a lot of good players at the moment, and they rarely rely on one person to win, which is a bit like Spain, the Argentine players have excellent performances on the field, but also thanks to the tactical system of the team, and the Argentine players are all strong-willed players, no matter what the situation is to fight to the end.

It is worth mentioning that the power forward who currently plays for the Houston Rockets, Louis . Scola, in the 2008 US Championships, due to the absence of Ginobili and Nocioni due to injury, the Rockets led the team to the finals alone, although they finally lost to the star-studded American men's basketball team, but the Argentine finally beat the stars and took the MVP of the US Championship.

Now after a season of training in the NBA, Scola has risen sharply, and experts from the Rocket Media Chronicle have written that Scola has played at an All-Star level under the tutelage of Rockets coach Adelman, and it is worth mentioning that Scola is the only player in the Rockets regular season to play a full 82 games.

At the same time, Delfino and Nocioni have grown very rapidly in recent NBA seasons, although Nocioni is a big man, but he is very mobile, with both rebounding and projection, Nocioni's toughness is obvious to all in the Bulls; Delfino spent three seasons with the Stoppers, and it was hard to defend or not. So, the combination between them will be pushed forward by Ginobili, and the fast and defensive style will be back on the field.

After Argentina's victory over Greece, Ginobili had already shouted the slogan after the game: "The Argentine men's basketball team will defend its title at the Beijing Olympics".

Domestic fans are very familiar with the Rockets' main power forward, Luis. Scola also said with confidence: "The Argentine men's basketball team has the quality to defend the title, and we have no doubts about this goal. ”

Argentina coach Hernandez first praised in an interview with the media after the game: "Owning Ginobili is like having a letter card with no upper limit." When asked about the Canadian team, Hernandez said that the Argentine basketball team has the confidence to defend the title, but not blindly: "Because we have the quality to build a stable, united and strong team, many of our players are in their prime and at the peak of their careers, we are more experienced than the Athens Olympics four years ago, and if we can take advantage of the favorable factors, the Argentine men's basketball team has a great hope of defending the title!" ”

Hernandez stressed: "Argentina will not have an easy goal of defending their title, and their biggest opponents are Canada, Spain and the United States. One of them is the latest World Champion to win the tournament, one is the new Big Three, and the other is used to achieving great honours. I think Spain, the United States, Canada and Argentina are the four contenders for the Olympic basketball title. But we are not afraid of any team's challenge, and in 2004 we surprised the world by beating the Dream Team, who were unbeaten in 58 games! And now, all the fans will not be surprised by any of our results. ”

At this point, the four semi-final teams have all been separated, and the face is as follows:

Canada vs Argentina; USA vs Spain. (To be continued......) R1292
