"Oh, you have to defend, don't call a timeout, if you continue to fight like this, you will lose." CCAV's commentary center, Mr. Zhang is now in a hurry, the game between the Chinese men's basketball team and the French team, after the fourth quarter, is a sudden change in the style of painting, the first 3 quarters of the game blacksmith possessed by the French team scoring guard Rigado, broke out without warning, 3 minutes in a row 5 3-pointers, originally at the end of the third quarter was still ahead of the French team 15 points advantage, now it looks like it is about to be equalized.

Originally, Coach Jiang Quan wanted to wait until the substitution to adjust, but seeing that the situation on the field was uncontrollable, Coach Jiang Quan had to call a timeout in advance.

"Xiao Meng, wait a minute, you replace Sun Jun, and you will defend the Rigado on the opposite side, you can't let him score again, understand?" Head coach Jiang Quan is also a little anxious now, the current situation is that as long as the French team is defeated, the Chinese men's basketball team can guarantee qualification, and the lead in the first 3 quarters of this game is so big, if it is reversed, where can his old face go.

"Understood." Although the domestic media holds themselves very high, Meng Xu himself knows that no matter where he is, seniority is a tradition, even in the NBA, so for this national team, Meng Xu does not have too many extravagant expectations, he can play for the country, and he is already satisfied with satisfying his father's wishes. At the same time, it is good to work hard to complete your own work, accumulate experience in international competitions, and as for the final result, it is best to win a medal. Therefore, Meng Xu did not have the slightest dissatisfaction with Coach Jiang Quan's tactical arrangements and his own use, after all, he had not proven his strength in the national team.

"Boy, I heard, you're the best defensive player in the NBA?" After re-entering the game, seeing that it was Meng Xu who was defending himself, Rigado, who had already played smoothly, asked Meng Xu in English with an arrogant face.

"yes, what's wrong." Meng Xu frowned, he wouldn't meet another madman who wanted to step on his position.

"I'm going to blow you up." After hearing Meng Xu's affirmative reply, Rigador said heavily. Rigado, who is called the king by French fans, also very much hopes to enter the NBA, so when he heard before the game that there is a player in the NBA in the Chinese basketball team, who is also the NBA's All-Star 3-point king and the best defensive player, Rigardo is eager to play with him twice to see how big the gap between himself and the NBA is, but after playing the court, he found that the player has been sitting on the bench, which also made Rigardo very disappointed, but now this guy is finally up, And it seems that he still has to defend himself, so Rigado, who is in good shape now, is also a little carried away and speaks wildly.

"Well, up." Glancing at Rigado, who was about the same height as himself and not much stronger than himself, Meng Xu also shook his finger at him and smiled, "There are too many people who want to up, but you definitely can't, in this game, if you can shoot another shot in front of me, I will take your surname." ”

"Bastard." After hearing Meng Xu's response, Rigado was immediately furious, this guy really underestimated himself. However, when Rigardo leaned on Meng Xu and reached out to his teammates to ask for the ball, he suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart. Then Rigado watched a white figure sway in front of him, and the basketball that his teammates had just passed was directly taken away by that guy.

Meng Xu after the steal, this time did not dunk or lay up directly, but rushed to the 3-point line and stopped directly, the 3-point line in international basketball is a little shorter than in the NBA, and there is still a big gap between their defensive intensity and the NBA game, so now Meng Xu's 3-point shooting rate is higher than in the NBA, in the first two games, Meng Xu made a total of 5 3-point shots, and hit 3 times. So after sitting on the sidelines and watching Rigador shoot 3 points again and again, the arrogant celebration, Meng Xu also wanted to pay him back.

"Beautiful, Meng Xu broke the ball, he is really the best defensive player in the NBA, in the previous game, Rigado, who no one in the national team could prevent, was directly stealed for the first time against Meng Xu." Teacher Zhang Lili in the CCAV commentary hall saw that Meng Xu had just stepped on the field and directly stole Rigado, and his emotions rose again.

"Meng Xu held the ball and attacked quickly, hey, he stopped outside the 3-point line, at this time there was no one under the basket of the French team, and he scored more than two points with a steady layup." When Su Qun looked excited, he was about to shout that Meng Xu wanted to dunk, but he was embarrassed to find that Meng Xu stopped at the top of the 3-point arc.

"Meng Xu is a very confident player, and shooting 3 points in this situation is undoubtedly his confidence in his 3-point ability. And at this time, we also need to fight back against the French team by a 3 point, so I think Meng Xu's offensive choice this time is still very reasonable. As soon as Mr. Zhang's words fell, he saw Meng Xu's unhesitating 3-point shot at the top of the 3-point arc, and then hollowed into the net: "Beautiful, beautiful, this is the NBA's 3-point king, this is Meng Xu." ”

"Beautiful 3 points, the national team will take the lead, re-enlarged to 5 points, Meng Xu is a player with a big heart in the NBA, and this 3-point shot is very representative." Originally, when I heard Mr. Zhang Lili's praise of Meng Xu, Su Qun, who thought he was a Meng fan, couldn't listen to it, but Meng Xu proved that Zhang Lili's praise of Meng Xu was correct with practical actions.

"FACK, why is this guy's defense so good?" In the French team, Rigado, who was originally dominated without the ball, in order to be able to completely explode Meng Xu, after trying to attack with the ball but was directly tackled by Meng Xu, he also gave up the plan to attack with the ball, but resumed his old business and ran without the ball, but what made Rigardo a little desperate was that no matter how he ran, this guy could easily keep up with him, and at the same time, this guy's close defense made him unable to find a chance to receive the ball at all.

"I haven't used my strength yet, so you can't." Looking at Rigado, who was panting and sweating profusely, had given up his running position and stopped in place, Meng Xu was next to him and blocked his receiving route with one hand, and said sarcastically. At your level, you still play no-ball running with me, Reggie Miller and I play no-ball, I don't scare him, let alone you.

"Boy, look at my ball." After Meng Xu received Zhang Jinsong's pass, Rigado immediately pounced to defend Meng Xu, but Meng Xu didn't care about Rigado's defense at all, and directly opened the taunt. Now the Chinese team and the French team are playing joint defense, but this kind of joint defense is more appropriate for Meng Xu to describe it as joint defense.

Meng Xu stood less than one step away from the 3-point line, which was just about the same as the 3-point line in the NBA, after slapping the basketball and shaking it twice, Meng Xu jumped up directly in front of Rigado, a dry pull-up jumper that completely ignored Rigado, and after the 3-point hit, Meng Xu also shrugged his shoulders at Rigado and made a helpless look.

After Meng Xu's 3-point hit, the lead of the national team has reached 8 points, and at this time, Coach Jiang Quan also waved his arm excitedly on the sidelines, and gently spit out two words in his mouth: "Stable." ”

"It's Meng Xu's two consecutive 3 points, which determines the role of the Seagod Needle." Teacher Zhang Lili also kept touting Meng Xu in the live TV, and at the same time suggested to Jiang Quan, who was thousands of miles away, on TV: "I think that Meng Xu should still be allowed to play the main force, whether it is his defense or 3 points, it is very much needed in the current national team." ”

In the end, relying on Meng Xu's outstanding performance in the end, the Chinese national team withstood the counterattack of the French team, and finally defeated the French team 78-70, and after 3 rounds of games, it ranked second in the group with a record of two wins and 1 loss, and basically secured a place in the top 8.

After the end of the match with the French team, on September 23, the Chinese basketball team ushered in the fourth opponent of the group stage, Lithuania, which currently has the same record as the Chinese basketball team, and is also a direct contender for the second place in the group. As a traditional strong team in Europe, in the absence of a strong interior line, outside offense and 3 points have always been Lithuania's means of survival, and this team can shoot 3 points from the inside out, and it is a 3-point rain at every turn.

From the beginning of this game, the Huaguo basketball team has always been at a disadvantage, at the end of the 3rd quarter of the game, it was already 21 points behind Lithuania, although Meng Xu, who came off the bench in the fourth quarter, scored 16 points in a single quarter, but still could not help the national team to save the momentum, and finally the Chinese basketball team also lost to the Lithuanian team 76-85, and the ranking in the group also fell directly to the third position. Although the result of this game was not satisfactory, Meng Xu's outstanding performance in the 4th quarter of 1 to 5 still made the fans who watched this game addicted, and after this game, the call for Meng Xu to take the position is getting higher and higher.

After 4 rounds of matches, the United States team ranked first in the group with a record of 4 wins, while Lithuania ranked second with a record of 3 wins and 1 loss, the Chinese team ranked 3rd with 2 wins and 2 losses, and the Italian team and the French team were also 2 wins and 2 losses.

And the final round will finally decide, France, and Italy who will be eliminated home, the final round of the game, because the French team will face the strongest team in the group, the United States, so unless the United States team releases the water, then the fate of the French team is completely in the hands of the Chinese men's basketball team, if the Chinese men's basketball team wins, then Italy that lost to France in the last round will be eliminated, if Italy wins, then the French team will be eliminated.

The development trend of the other group is also a bit surprising, the Russian team, which was originally considered the strongest in the group, now only has 1 win and 3 losses, and the last game against Angola, if it loses again, the Russian team, which has won the Olympic championship many times, will have to go home.
