60. Stress

Just like the previous match between Argentina and Russia was followed by the match between the United States and Brazil, the Chinese men's basketball team and the French, and the same match between the Argentina and Russia.

Players from both sides soon appeared on the basketball court and began to warm up. No team dared to take it lightly and welcome the game with a careless attitude. Even the most powerful Americans are the same.

Both sides attach great importance to this 48-minute game that determines life and death. Before the game started, the fans of both sides had already entered the court. Although France's journey from the UK is much closer than China's distance from the UK, there are much more Chinese fans who come to the basketball hall to cheer for the Chinese men's basketball team tonight than France's fans!

Obviously, no matter how the French team expressed their opinions, the attention in China is obviously even higher.

When the players on both sides began to warm up on the basketball court, the fans had basically packed the stadium seats. Of course, most of them were from Chinese fans.

However, at this moment, not all the people who came to the basketball hall came to cheer for the two teams. Some people from other regions and countries also appeared in the basketball hall.

For example, the Spanish team, which will play after this game, also sat on the sidelines at this time. Just like the Chinese men's basketball players who played against Russia in Argentina, they sat on the sidelines to watch the game.

There were also many Spanish journalists coming to the press conference. Although their biggest purpose in coming to the basketball hall tonight was to watch the Spanish team's knockout match, it was obvious that the Espanyol, who appeared in the basketball hall at this moment, was actually very concerned about the knockout match of the Chinese men's basketball team.

Because the Spaniards are all trying to wait and see the jokes of the Chinese team. They are waiting to laugh at their past hopes after the Chinese team loses this game tonight!

In this Olympic Games, the Chinese team and the Spanish team have a big fuss! And it’s not just the Spanish media criticizing Wu Dawei and the Chinese men’s basketball team, but even the naturalized player Sergi Ibaka is always mocking Wu Dawei who once defeated him.

Obviously, maybe Ibaka thinks he has joined a stronger team now, so he can have the capital to laugh at Wu Dawei and his weak Chinese team without any worries...

At this moment, there are certainly Sergi Ibaka among the Spanish players who come to the basketball court. Compared with other players, Ibaka certainly hopes that Wu Dawei and his Chinese team will end up with a crushing defeat in the first round of knockout matches. Because in this way, they will obviously encounter greater criticism after the game.

Sergi Ibaka is still worried about the fact that Wu Dawei led the Cleveland Cavaliers to defeat Sergi Ibaka in June to win the NBA championship. Especially for Wu Dawei who once won the 5-double data that shocked the world in the second game of the finals, Ibaka felt that his face was dull. It was natural. His feelings for Wu Dawei would not be much better.

Although the knockout round was concentrated in one day, the entire competition schedule seemed very crowded, fortunately the organizer left a lot of room for each team to prepare before the game started.

After the previous game, Wu Dawei and his Chinese teammates warmed up on the basketball court for a long time before the game was about to begin.

At this time, everyone walked off the court one after another because everyone knew that the game was about to begin. The tense atmosphere became more and more intense at this time. Although they were still in the same place and had just changed an opponent, the atmosphere in the basketball hall was completely different from before!

Because everyone knows that there will only be a distinction between winners and losers after this game, and there will be no chance to come again. The only chance is this time. If the Chinese men's basketball team wants to create history, there is only one way to go, that is, to win the victory of this game tonight from the opponent of France tonight!

There is no other choice. If you fail, you will be successful!

"Young guys!" Facing the Chinese players who were called by him after walking off the basketball court, Bob Deng Huade clapped his hands hard, and everyone shouted loudly: "You are all good! We have been successful enough to stand in such a field as we are now! Now, we are at the peak of the history of Chinese men's basketball! We have no regrets in this Olympic Games!"

Deng Huade said loudly to the players. Although he tried his best to calm down his record, as the head coach of the national team who led the team to the quarterfinals of the Olympics for the first time, Deng Huade still couldn't stop feeling a little nervous at this time.

Because what is in front of him now is not just a challenge, but also an opportunity. If he can lead this Chinese men's basketball team to create new history at the Olympics, then there is no doubt that the name Bob and Deng Huade will become famous all over the world!

Because before the Olympics, no one would believe that the Chinese men's basketball team would have the strength to reach the semi-finals of the Olympics, and even Deng Huade himself did not believe it. But now, such an opportunity is so bright in front of him, Deng Huade knew that he hoped to catch it in his heart!

So while speaking, Deng Huade couldn't help but look at Wu Dawei. After the last off in the group stage, Wu Dawei will return to the starting lineup tonight. Deng Huade knows that whether he can lead the team to create history can only rely on this young forward who rises like a legend!

"But now there is such an opportunity in front of us. I don't know what you think, but in fact I hope to seize it! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that can give us the opportunity to go up and down the top floor! Guys, such opportunities are not often available, but if when it appears and you just catch him, then guys, what awaits us will be a brand new world!"

"Do you want to be the winner of this game? Or are you satisfied if you are just willing to win the Olympic quarterfinals!?"

“Become a winner!”

The moment when head coach Deng Huade asked, all the Chinese players answered loudly beside him! At this moment, standing on such a stadium, who would be willing to be a spectator in the knockout round?

Even if the chance is slim, everyone hopes to hit the honors they may be able to touch. Moreover, the competition between the Chinese and French teams does not look like the one-sided situation in the match between the Americans and Brazil.

The French team is indeed full of strong players, but in recent years, they have not achieved any brilliant results in the World Championships with such a team. So in fact, they may just be paper tigers, which is something that no one can explain clearly.

Although they have good results in the Olympic group stages, the group stage and the knockout stage are completely incomparable. People will not think that you can do anything because of your outstanding group stage results. People will only look at your final results in the knockout stage.

Of course, these are actually the psychological hints of the Chinese team themselves. After all, although the Chinese team had actually completed the tasks set before the Olympics before this game, the temptation to have the opportunity to compete for the semi-finals of the Olympics once again made everyone hurry to Alexander!

However, the pressure is not just the Chinese team. Similarly, as the French team recognized as having better strength, it is also very stressful. Before the game, the outside world was unanimously optimistic that they could complete the promotion in this game, and the Chinese team would not cause them too much trouble.

But everyone knows how Wu Dawei's condition was in this Olympics. His performance in the two games he dominated in the group stage impressed countless people.

Before the start of the game against the Chinese men's basketball team, the French team must have studied the Chinese team, so they also knew that Wu Dawei is the current life gate of the Chinese men's basketball team. However, after watching the video of the Chinese men's basketball team's group stage, the French had no way to do so.

They also know that if Wu Dawei was allowed to play well in this game tonight, it would definitely be a huge bad news for them.

So they also faced huge pressure before this game because they didn't know what to do. So French coach Fan Shang Cole could only say before the game started, all the players under his opponents said: "We must play our own rhythm, and we must not be led by Wu Dawei! We must play at our own rhythm and then win the victory of this game tonight!"

Although Kole did not make any statements about the team winning before the start of the game, his words were extremely firm before the start of the game. As a team's head coach, Kole will certainly have to be sure of winning in his heart!

Otherwise, even the head coach of the team would have no confidence in the game. Then how could he lead the team to win the game tonight!?

The head coaches of both teams were nervously doing the final preparations before the game. For both of them, they were very eager to win the game. Bob Deng Huade wanted to create new history, while Kolai obviously did not want to lose face because of losing to the Chinese team.

After all, before the start of this game, most people were more optimistic that the French team could win. Only a small number of people believed that the Chinese men's basketball team would have a chance to defeat the French in this game.

The only subtle outside view is that the odds given by the bookmaker for this game are still lower, but the odds of the Chinese team are not much higher than those of the French team.

The gap is not even as big as the match between the United States and Brazil, and I have to say that this is something that makes people feel strange.

However, the odds offered by the bookmakers cannot change the mainstream's view that the French team can win the game. After all, in terms of overall strength and past history, the Chinese men's basketball team cannot gain the upper hand.

The starting lineup of both sides in this game was quickly unveiled the mystery. The Chinese team still had no changes. Liu Wei and Sun Yue partnered in the backcourt combination, and Wu Dawei became the starting small forward again. The two inside players were Wang Zhizhi and Yi Jianlian; on the French side, the two inside players were Turiav and Dior, the small forward was Nicholas Batum, the core defender was Tony Parker and a shooting defender who played in the European League.

As both sides complete their preparations before the game, the game is about to officially kick off.

When the starters of both sides walked onto the basketball court one after another, there were huge cheers in the stadium. Although I couldn't understand who it was for, it was obvious that the cheers dedicated to the Chinese team must be more, because there were more Chinese fans coming to the stadium tonight than the French.

Although they are not in the same team as Parker, Dior and others in the NBA, they are in the same league after all. Compared with many players who play in the European and American Leagues, Wu Dawei is obviously more familiar with them.

After the game started, everyone greeted him enthusiastically, but of course this was just an appearance, because when the game started, both sides would become mortal enemies who either die or die!

When the players on both sides greet each other and start standing in their respective positions, it means that the game is about to begin!

The referee walked onto the stadium with the ball. Turiav and Yi Jianlian were already waiting in the middle circle for the jump ball. The game can be said to be about to break out!

Everyone was staring at the ball in the referee's hand at this moment. When the ball was thrown on the layup, they also announced that the game was about to officially begin!

Yi Jianlian and Turiyafu jumped up at the same time. Although UAE can no longer play in the NBA, it is very easy for him to win Turiyafu who is still in the NBA in this regard! (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better, updated and faster!
