51. Make history

“This is the most wonderful day!”

After Wu Dawei and his teammates watched the game between Spain and Australia, he walked out of the arena and met several Chinese reporters on the way. Everyone had smiles on their faces, and they were obviously happy about the same thing.

When these reporters tried to interview Wu Dawei, Wu Dawei was also very happy to answer their questions at this time. Because Wu Dawei's mood was as happy as everyone's mood at this time.

The team advanced early, and all the pressure before this was wiped out. Although the knockout stage that will arrive soon is a more cruel competition, at least now, everyone feels relaxed on their shoulders. There will no longer be anyone who slanders and ridicule openly and secretly like when the Chinese men's basketball team lost two consecutive losses in the group stage.

"What about the last group match against the British team? Will you still play?" the reporter continued, "How is your injury? Or are you going to take a rest? After all, the team has already qualified..."

The reporter's question made Wu Dawei curl his lips. In fact, he doesn't know whether he will play in the last game, and whether he will start and play with all his strength like he did in the first two games.

After all, as the reporter said, the Chinese men's basketball team has now confirmed to qualify, so the last game has become optional. However, even so, Wu Dawei does not know what the situation will be like in the next game, because the Chinese team still has the opportunity to climb a further level.

After all, they are currently 2 wins and 2 losses, Brazil and Russia, which are only one win-win situation. In the next game, according to the current situation of the Chinese team, they still have a good chance to win the British team. Therefore, the Chinese team can complete all the games in the group stage with a winning rate of 3 wins and 2 losses of more than 50% at the end of the group stage.

Although the record of three wins and two losses does not necessarily ensure that they can win a higher position than the fourth place in the group stage, at least they still have some hope to climb forward one step forward because the Brazilian men's basketball team lost to the Chinese team tonight's game. The opponent in the last game of the group stage was Spain.

Based on Spain's current momentum and their idea of ​​avoiding the Americans before the final, they will definitely go all out. Although it cannot be said that the Brazilian team, which is classified as the Copa America champion, cannot beat Spain's recent millennial second-year second, the winning rate is definitely not as high as Spain.

As long as Spain defeats Brazil and the Chinese team defeats Britain, then the Chinese team can really fulfill their desire to climb up one step further. Such a wish is not out of reach, so no one knows what the international team thinks in the next game.

After the game tonight, Wu Dawei has not communicated with head coach Bob Deng Huade, so he naturally doesn't know the team's opinion. For him, of course, he hopes to play a few more games in the Olympics.

If you can avoid the US team in the first round of the knockout round, then the Chinese men's basketball team will have greater hope of advancing. If you want to avoid the powerful US team in the first round, the Chinese men's basketball team must climb up to at least one place, because the US team must be the first in Group A.

In this way, if the Chinese team still has ambitions in the knockout round, then this last group match will not be useless, but must win!

If the Chinese men's basketball team wants to ensure their victory, there is no doubt that Wu Dawei, as the team's star, will definitely start like before and then ensure that the team can win the British men's basketball team.

This is something that head coach Bob Deng Huade knows very well. The victory of the Chinese team in the first two games was not accidental, nor was it a fool. Bob Deng Huade knew that it was all because of Wu Dawei's outstanding performance on the basketball court.

Deng Huade also understood very well. If Wu Dawei was not available, the efficiency of the Chinese men's basketball team on both offense and defense would be greatly reduced!

So if the Chinese team still holds a determined attitude towards the last game, then Wu Dawei knows that he is basically inseparable from the top and still has to start.

However, to Wu Dawei's surprise, when he went to find the head coach of the Chinese men's basketball team Bob Deng Huade on the second day after the game, Deng Huade told him that he did not need to start in the last group match.

This is indeed something that Wu Dawei did not expect. However, Deng Huade did not mean that Wu Dawei would not need to play in this game, because the Chinese team was indeed determined to win this game. However, Deng Huade also knew very well that Wu Dawei needed a rest time after playing 40 plus minutes in two consecutive games.

That's why Deng Huade arranged for Wu Dawei not to serve as the starting position in this game. Of course, if the Chinese men's basketball team is in a difficult situation in the game, then Wu Dawei, as the core of the team, still has to go on the court to put out the fire.

In general, it is to protect Wu Dawei. Of course, Wu Dawei would not have any objection to such an arrangement. After all, Deng Huade also wanted to protect his injuries. Moreover, after the recent games, Wu Dawei did feel some physical discomfort.

So since the head coach has made this arrangement, Wu Dawei certainly won’t have any objection. The person who is most excited to hear Wu Dawei’s rest may be Yi Li, who lives under the same roof in the Olympic Village with Wu Dawei.

As Wu Dawei's chief substitute at this Olympic Games, if Wu Dawei was arranged to be a substitute in the last game, then there is no doubt that Yi Li will definitely be the main player in this game.

Since Wu Dawei's playing time in the past two games was astonishingly high, Yi Li had almost never had the opportunity to play. At this time, I heard such news, did Yi Li, who was so tired of being in a hurry, find a chance to vent?

Since only starting in the first game, Yi Li's playing time has not been higher than 10 minutes in the past three games...

So of course he was so suffocated that he was naturally very excited when he heard such news. Who wouldn’t want to wear the national team’s jersey and compete for such an honor in the Olympics?

This is not only Wu Dawei's wish, but also the wish of the entire national team. Otherwise, why would everyone be willing to be Wu Dawei's foil in the game? In fact, it is naturally a wish, that is, to strive for a higher ranking for the national team!

And now, such an opportunity is right in front of you. For the Chinese men's basketball team, before the Olympics, the environment and situation they faced were not good, or even more difficult and harsh; however, after four group matches, they are now in a very good situation.

Maybe it is possible to create a new historical best record. Of course, everyone will be excited about it. And although Wu Dawei will not start in this game, Wu Dawei is also very clear that he still needs to be prepared to do his best. Although the British men's basketball team is not strong, their lineup also has NBA starting players like Ruhr Deng, and there are NBA players like Mensa Bonsu.

Although I have not won so far in Group B, if you underestimate your opponent, it is obviously an unwise choice. Just like the Australians before, Bogut's statement before the start of the Australian match against the Chinese team is not just the view that the entire Australian team despises the Chinese men's basketball team, but the consequence now is that they have lost hope of qualifying in the group.

So in this game, the Chinese men's basketball team will definitely go all out to win, because if they can really take a step forward in ranking, the Chinese men's basketball team will avoid the strong American team in the first round of the knockout round. Against France or Argentina, currently ranked second in Group A.

However, these two opponents are also very powerful, but no matter how powerful it is, it is impossible to be stronger than the American team with full rotation. Therefore, if you can avoid the American team, it is of course the best choice for the Chinese team.

The match between the Chinese men's basketball team and the British team will be held on August 7. This day will basically end all the Olympic men's basketball group matches, which means that the Chinese team has more than one day to rest and can prepare for this last game.

Although the team has qualified, the Chinese men's basketball team is still very serious about preparing and training for this game. After all, before the game begins, the British also said that they must win a game in this year's Olympics. Otherwise, as hosts, they would be too disappointed.

So the victory of this game must have fallen on the Chinese team now. It is conceivable that the British team will definitely do their best in this game, and the Chinese men's basketball team must also strive for the final ranking of the group stage!

Both teams have such a wish, so people don’t have to worry that this game will turn into a garbage game with no ornamental value.

However, neutral fans are happy to see the British's statement, and the Chinese team is naturally not happy. Because it seems that the British team will fight to the death in this game, which is not good news for the Chinese team.

However, the good news for the Chinese team has been coming one after another. After winning two group matches, people have never stopped praising the Chinese team. Especially Chinese fans, when they experienced the defeat in the first two group matches, they can be said to be the most tormented. Now that they have finally survived, they are naturally so happy!

Regarding the last game of the next group stage, the domestic view of the Chinese team is clear. However, this also makes the players' pressure more enormous from the side...

But as the saying goes, only by pressure can one have motivation! Now for the Chinese men's basketball team, this is the same. They are facing a very good form, and next, what they have to do is how to grasp such a good situation at this time.

Of course, everyone hopes that the Chinese team can use this to achieve the best record in Olympic history, but this task is obviously a long way to go.

But even so, people are still very optimistic about the current Chinese national team. The reason is very simple, of course, because the team has Wu Dawei who has gone wild in the last two games!

Wu Dawei's performance once again shocked the world. When Wu Dawei was criticized for not being able to lead the team to win twice in the first two games, Wu Dawei not only was not scared or retreated, but instead performed amazingly in the next two games!

It helped the Chinese men's basketball team reverse the decline caused by the previous two consecutive losses!

There is no doubt that such performance will attract much attention. Especially in the United States, Wu Dawei is a NBA player after all, and he is also a core player of the Cleveland Cavaliers, the champion team of the NBA Finals, which just ended. He is a newly promoted super player to be crowned the FMVP championship!

The United States has never paid attention to him. Of course, when Wu Dawei lost two consecutive games, some people would also laugh at him. However, what Americans are more worried now is that if the American team meets a Chinese team with Wu Dawei who is like a god of killing in the knockout stage, what will it look like?

Although the Chinese team is not the Cavaliers and their strength is weak, Wu Dawei still makes the Americans feel afraid. Especially in the last two games, Wu Dawei not only performed very well, but also activated his teammates.

Yi Jianlian also benefited a lot from the high pick-and-roll with Wu Dawei. In the just-concluded game with Brazil, Yi Jianlian faced Diego Split and Andre Valaicho's defense and scored a double-double with 21 points and 12 rebounds!

Next to Wu Dawei, even Yi Jianlian seems to have regained the ability to compete in the NBA, instead of sitting on the bench every game as a water dispenser guardian. Even Barkley joked about the Cavaliers boss Daniel Gilbert, who can consider signing Yi Jianlian in the new season in the second half of the year...

Because Barkley believes that perhaps Yi Jianlian will continue to become a 20+10 All-Star Power Forward next to Wu Dawei... Although this is just a joke, it allows people to see Wu Dawei's abilities more clearly from the side. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better updated and faster!
