Chapter 462: Easy Clearance
"Before the start of the Olympic Games, I am afraid that not many fans would have thought that the Chinese team would be able to come to this day with such a attitude!"
Wukesong Stadium, after the group stage, the teams that successfully advanced to the quarterfinals have played at least five games here, and they are already very familiar with this venue, and they are more focused when warming up, and no longer go to see all kinds of Chinese characteristic objects in the stadium.
The opening remarks of the commentary yoga are very in place, and the Chinese team has reached the quarterfinals, which is the expectation of many people for the Chinese team before the game. It is not surprising to be able to reach the quarterfinals now in terms of team strength.
However, it was unexpectedly that everyone could win all five games and qualify as the first in the group.
Before Chen Mu's sudden rise, Chinese fans thought that under the leadership of Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian, the Chinese team might be able to break into the quarterfinals again. But further? The fans weren't so irrational.
But now, with Chen Mu, the Chinese team is definitely second-rate top in terms of staffing. There is a gap between some European teams and super giants such as Spain and the United States. The quarterfinals have gradually changed from a goal that needs to be achieved to the "bottom line" in the hearts of fans.
Now that the bottom line has broken through and come to a more brutal field, fans have witnessed how strong the Chinese team can be with Chen Mu, and the expectations in their hearts have naturally increased by a few points.
"That's right, although the Chinese team defeated the United States in the first game, many people said that it was a fluke. We also have to admit this, the American team did not pay enough attention to the Chinese team at the beginning, so it suffered a lot of losses at the beginning. In the end, the whole audience was pressed, in fact, in hindsight, it was too late. ”
Director Zhang nodded on the side and said, "But even if the U.S. team doesn't play so seriously in half the game, if it loses, it loses." It shows that the boys of our Chinese team have the strength and enough ability to compete with the American team. If nothing else, let's talk about the second half. In the second half of the game, the U.S. team finally basically adjusted, right? But it's just adjusted, aren't we Chinese boys also fighting with the United States very anxiously? ”
"You're right, we said before, the Chinese team can be anxious with teams like the United States and Spain, but they are always defeated by a sudden wave." Yoga said, "What is the reason for this? ”
"It's because of physical strength." Coach Zhang said: "When people beat us before, they all pinpointed our weaknesses to fight. The so-called snake hit seven inches, and the thief captured the king first. Yao Ming's physical strength is a problem, and it is impossible to play at that high level throughout the game. It doesn't matter if you run into a weak team, let's try to defend. Not everyone who comes up is amazing. The score bites, and when Yao Ming comes back, we will win. ”
"But the United States is different from Spain, they have more people, more people who play, and more people who play better. People don't care when you exert your strength or when you want to bite the score. If you look at the bench of the American team, it is not very different from the main team. As long as they see it, when will you Yao Ming be tired. If I can't score, I'll take it away in a wave and it's over. ”
Director Zhang analyzed: "But it's different now, hey, we have Chen Mu!" Chen Mu, this young man. It is completely possible to support the whole team when Yao Ming is not present, and grasp the offense and defense, so won't the United States and Spain be blind? As long as it is guaranteed at any time, one of Chen Mu and Yao Ming is on the field. The combat effectiveness of our Chinese team is incredible. From beginning to end, a certain amount of offensive and defensive intensity can be guaranteed, and there is not such a big gap between our main force and the substitutes, so it is naturally not easy to be spent. ”
"Good. Let's take a brief look at the matchups in the knockout rounds. ”
After the players warmed up, Chen Mu was greeted by the fans who cheered like a tsunami when he left the field. Chen Mu himself was also very proud, waved his hand to everyone, and the audience actually followed Chen Mu to make Chen Mu's classic celebration action, and the atmosphere on the field was very warm for a while, and the director and camera were busy for a while.
"After the group stage, the situation in the two groups is roughly as follows: Lithuania first in Group A, followed by Argentina, Croatia and Australia, and these four teams qualified. Russia and Iran are out, it's a pity. ”
Yoga introduced: "On the side of Group B, the Chinese team is first, then the United States, Spain lost in the dialogue with the United States, and the third is the fourth, and Greece is the fourth. Germany and Angola are out of the tournament and have also left the Olympics. ”
"According to the rules of the matchup, the first in Group A is the fourth in Group B, the second in Group A is the third in Group B, and so on. The quarter-finals are all four matches in total and will all end today. They are China against Australia, the United States against Croatia, Spain against Argentina, and Greece against Lithuania. ”
"So far, there have been two matches over, the United States vs. Croatia and Lithuania vs. Greece. The United States were the first to play, comfortably beating Croatia. Under the high-pressure attack and defense of the American team, the Croatian boys did not have many chances, and they lost by a big score and unfortunately went out. ”
"Don't say it, after the U.S. team lost to the Chinese team, in fact, the whole team was really twisted into a rope. If you look at today's game, the U.S. team led by almost 40 points in the second half, but the players still played as if they were seeing an enemy, and every ball was very fierce and aggressive. ”
Director Zhang interjected: "In fact, in the last four games of the group stage, the American team has already regrouped and cheered up, and every game is tough from beginning to end, leaving no chance for the opponent. Such an American team is the American team in our impression. You must know that this time people want to get back the Olympic championship that they have lost for eight years, and they should hold back a fire in their hearts. ”
"It's also a good thing for the U.S. team." Yoga nodded and said: "In the second game, Lithuania and Greece played very anxiously, and in the end, Greece won narrowly, or the veteran came out of the top two." ”
"In this case, if the Chinese team can beat Australia, it will play the winner of Argentina and Spain. The top half is the United States, against Greece. ”
"It's all beautiful." Director Zhang made a summary speech.
"Okay, the game is about to start, let's set our sights on the field, the players of the Chinese team, enter the ......!"
"Whoop!!
The audience is boiling!
The strongest Chinese team in the history of the Chinese men's basketball team has finally come to the stage of the Olympic men's basketball team.
Today's game will determine whether the Chinese men's basketball team can go further.
In the opening jumping ball, Bogut, whose physical fitness was at the peak, got the ball, and Australia put on a weak posture as soon as he came up, and pulled out a bayonet with the Chinese team.
Australia and China have faced each other a lot under the FIBA system, whether it is on the world stage, or in friendly matches, Stankovic Cup and other games, the two sides have played each other many times.
On the NBA court, Bogut has also played against Yao Ming, Chen Mu, and Yi Jianlian, and the two sides are very familiar with each other, and they know each other's technical characteristics and court style very well.
Australia is the quintessential aggressive style of basketball, aggressive both offensively and defensively, with lots of physical contact, endless interference and touching. If it was the previous Chinese team, under the high-pressure situation of Australia, it would not be long before the mentality would be unbalanced, and even fight on the field.
But now, with Chen Mu, everything is solved.
Australia sent the ball to Bogut in the first shot, and like all teams against China, Australia wanted to attack the interior at the opening moment, whether it was to drain the stamina of Yao Ming and Chen Mu, or to create a foul on the two pillars of the interior, which was an acceptable result.
But how many inside lines can be played in the inner line combination composed of Yao Ming and Chen Mu?
"Bang!"
Opening hat!
Bo Gu gestured for a moment and then forcibly hooked his hand, Yao Ming directly reached out to cover it, and pressed the ball down firmly.
Bogut hasn't come back to his senses yet, and the Chinese team has already played a gorgeous fast attack.
"Passing is fast......
Yoga shouted, and before the words fell, a figure had already flown up.
"Bang!"
It was another vibration and roar, Sun Yue's pass was just right, and Chen Mu relayed in the air!
“YEAAAAAAH!!!”
The fans cheered, Chen Mu hung on the frame and dangled for a while, then landed, and turned around to see Bogut, who had returned to the half court with his head down, and winked at the latter.
"You can't beat us."
When passing by Bogut's side, Chen Mu also said half-jokingly, and the angry Australian kangaroo's face turned blue.
The subsequent game confirmed Chen Mu's statement.
Took the ball and shook the frame, dribbled and jumped to avoid the steal, and the moment he landed, he passed the hand with his back, and Yao Ming buckled his hands violently.
With the ball in his back to crush the single, Sigma stepped out of the way for a layup.
cruising and running in the middle distance, borrowing Yao Ming to cover the mid-distance shot, and the knife in his hand fell into the account with two points.
After Liu Wei missed the frontcourt rebound, he directly adjusted his body slightly in the air, and smashed into the basket through Bogut, and the whole court exploded.
After the backcourt rebound, the iconic one-handed long pass ran through the whole court out of the demonic route, assisting Sun Yue to turn around and dunk.
After blocking and dismantling in the high post, he stopped suddenly, picked up the defender with a feint to catch the ball, and instantly broke through to make two fouls and one to win.
Judging the defensive line, the long arm stretched out for a steal, and the juggling fake fax shot scored on the backhand layup.
After the rebound in the front court, he landed, and the iconic crotch pass, Yao Ming's baseline small mid-range shot brushed the net to score.
……
The game was always in the hands of the Chinese team, and the game ended after more than an hour, and the Chinese team defeated Australia 106-90.
Although in the second half, Australia also showed their ability to fight and grab points, narrowing the difference. But after watching the game, you know that the Chinese team does not seem to have fully demonstrated its full strength from beginning to end.
For the first time in this competition, the score in a single game exceeded 100, and while the Chinese team received countless praises, it was also testing its own limits step by step.
The semifinals, the best record in the history of the Chinese men's basketball team in the Olympic history, was born in the hands of Chen Mu......! (To be continued.) )
PS: With our Xiao Chen, most opponents are not afraid at all!
