Once upon a time, the American basketball team always looked very arrogant and domineering in the Olympics. When the American team came to the Olympics, they never lived in the Olympic village. Instead, they set a separate five-star hotel to set themselves and other Olympic athletes, as if they were the special existence of the Olympic stadium and the biggest star.

But now, because of the success of the Chinese men's basketball over the years, it has been dominating men's basketball since 2004 to the present, so it has completely defeated the arrogance of the American men's basketball team.

The Chinese team has ranked first in the world men's basketball team for nine consecutive years.

Chen Xiao became the No. 1 star in the NBA for eight consecutive seasons.

After the efforts of Chinese men's basketball team and Chinese stars such as Chen Xiao and Yao Ming, the current American men's basketball team not only no longer says that it is the Dream Team, but also does not regard itself as the biggest star and the most special existence.

During this Olympic Games, players from the American men's basketball team even lived in the Olympic Village for the first time.

However, this is actually understandable. The Chinese men's basketball team is now living in the Olympic village. Why is your American men's basketball team specializing?

If you really want to do this, it is probably not only the media in Europe and the world who laugh at them, but even the media in the United States who laugh at them as big names.

It can be said that this American team really feels down-to-earth from top to bottom.

This is also why Chen Xiao and the Chinese men's basketball team are so vigilant about this American team.

This American team is also the lowest and most modest American team in history.

Therefore, in the Olympic Village, everyone can understand that the Chinese team is humble, because the Chinese team has always been humble, but now, seeing that the American team is playing modest like the Chinese team, everyone is not very adaptable.

After the group stage of the Olympic men's basketball team, Kevin Arnovitez, an American ESPN expert, wrote an article to select the top ten best-performing men's basketball team in the 2012 London Olympics, including Chen Xiao, Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian of the Chinese team, Kobe, James, Wade and Durant of the US team, as well as Ginobili of Argentina, Mills of Australia, and Gasol of Spain.

To be honest, according to the personality of American players in the past, when others ask them this question and ask him who is the best player in the group stage, they must be rushing to say that they are the leader and perform well.

But see how they answered.

When asked about being selected as one of the best players in the group stage, Xiao Zhan said: "I don't think I'm the best. The best player in a team doesn't need four, just like the MVP won't select four. I think the best part of our team in the group stage is KD. I told him that if we didn't have him, then we wouldn't be touted by you here to go alongside the Chinese team.

We need an unstoppable super scorer team, we have players who can do other things, break through, pass, defend, grab rebounds, we have a lot of people who can do it, but we need someone like KD who ignores defense in any game."

Xiao Zhan said this without aimlessly. In the last game of the group stage, the US team won absolutely not as easy as the score. He won 29 points and looked very powerful. In fact, after the game began, the two teams played very anxiously.

Although Argentina looks a little old this year, Scola and Ginobili are in excellent condition. However, when everyone is anxious, Durant ignores the defense's three-pointers and scores 17 points in a single quarter, directly defeating Argentina.

You can't defend at all, so that after the game, Ginobili said helplessly: "For KD, FIFA's three-pointer is like a free throw. We can never defend monsters like Chen and KD on the FIBA ​​field."

So when asked about the best player of the United States, Ke Boss, who is the captain of the United States, also smiled and said: "I said two years ago that we need KD. He is the best player in the FIBA ​​ever. At the World Championships two years ago, his match with Chen made me unable to forget it. If this American team did not have KD, I would not join. I don't want to lose to Chen once in the Olympics. KD is the source of confidence for all of us to defeat the Chinese team and Chen Xiao."

Listen, in the past, the United States, could you hear Boss Ke and James praised a player in a unified manner?

Of course, although Xiao Du is a self-reliant person, he is also very modest in the face of the popular stars of the American team such as Ke Boss, Xiao Zhan and Wade.

"I'm glad my shooting and scoring can help the US team. For me, being able to fight side by side with superstars such as Black Mamba, King James, Wade, Ron and privileged players from various NBA teams will also give me endless confidence, benefit me a lot, and thus play harder.

So, I don’t think I’m the MVP of Team USA, I’m also a member of the team.”

Looking at this American team, you said, how can you not be afraid or worry?

Therefore, even if the quarterfinals have not yet been fought, Chen Xiao and the Chinese team are ready to fight a bad battle with the American team in the finals.

Of course, although I know in my heart that this year's Olympic men's basketball final will definitely be a showdown between the Chinese and American teams.

But the game is played one by one, and in order to save energy, the Chinese team needs to defeat the team on the way at the least cost.

The Chinese team is different from the American team. Although the player strength of this Chinese team is completely different from the Chinese team in history, there is no doubt that the American team can still go up and down five times, but the Chinese team cannot do it. The Chinese team needs to protect their physical fitness to beat the United States. Otherwise, if they play for 47 minutes, they will collapse in the last minute, and they will not be able to win.

What's more, this French team is actually not that weak, and it should be said that it has the strength to pose a threat to the Chinese team.

The quarter-finals between the Chinese and French teams were played at 23:15 BJ time on August 8 at North Greenwich Stadium in the UK.

The French team fell to fourth in Group B, but in fact, it was not because the team was not strong enough, but during the group stage, the French team leader Tony Parker did not get on due to a minor ankle injury.

Parker did not play, not only did the French team lose Parker and collapse like before, but instead allowed the team to play a very strong overall performance.

For example, Batum's appearance made the French team no longer rely solely on Parker in offense. They have more scoring points. In addition to Batum, Galabel, Kloro and others also performed well in the group stage. The French team's outside group is now very overall. Although China is very strong in overall strength, it is obvious that the outside is still the weakness of the Chinese team. There is Chen Xiao on the outside of China, but there is only one Chen Xiao, the eldest nephew, Andy Lau, Xiao Zhu, and Wei Ge are all very good. Even the eldest nephew was taken away by the Thunder this year's NBA draft, so the Chinese team also has 3 NBA players on the outside. But to be honest, whether it is Andy Lau or the eldest nephew, they have flaws in playing FIBA.

They are not as adapted to FIBA ​​rules as European players, and their shooting stability in FIBA ​​games is not as stable as that of European players. More importantly, they are in the knockout match, Parker's meeting, and they are full of blood.

When facing a player like Parker with a similar style, Andy Lau and his nephew are actually under great pressure. The style is similar, but their strength is not as good as the other party in all aspects, so you will be uncomfortable to play.

Of course, against the French team, the biggest advantage of the Chinese team is definitely the inside line. Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian's inside line are even trembling in the United States. Although French team's Seraphin, Turiav and Dior are also NBA players, they are even better players in the NBA.

But it is still difficult for them to stop Yao Ming and Ah Lian.

Therefore, facing this France, the Chinese team is not afraid of losing, because the Chinese team knows that it is impossible for it to lose.

What the Chinese team feared the most was that after the game started, facing the French team's crazy shrinking defense, their own shooting could not be made, while the French team's shooting was made.

Judging from the group stage of the French team, this team has the strength to explode with three-pointers, and this is the most difficult thing for teams with small lines.

At 23:00 on August 8th, BJ time, the North Greenwich Arena in the UK, the Chinese and French players were warming up on the court.

Faced with such a battle, the players of the Chinese and French teams were quite relaxed. After all, everyone is actually acquaintances.

For example, Chen Xiao and French team Dior are former teammates.

For example, Piglets and Parker are teammates of the Spurs.

Chen Xiao and Parker have been friends for many years.

Therefore, seeing the situation of Chinese players and French players warming up on TV, many Chinese audiences in front of the TV also found it very interesting.

"This is the benefit of having so many NBA players, and you can meet friends wherever you go."

"If we didn't have NBA players, these NBA big names wouldn't even look at you, let alone respect."

Indeed, the Chinese men's basketball team can gain a lot of respect and "full of awe!" wherever they go.

Well, I don’t play with jokes or jokes. Now, these strong European teams are really full of awe when they see the Chinese team.

After so many years, I can't beat it, but I can't beat it. I've been hit by the Chinese team.

Therefore, Chen Xiao and Yao Ming made an appointment to retire after 2012. The happiest person was not the Americans. The American team still felt regretful that the strongest opponent was about to leave.

The happiest thing is actually the group of Europeans. If the American team has confidence in pushing the ss because of Durant's appearance, then for European teams, there is really no confidence in pushing the ss.

This is not the fault of these European teams. Didn’t Kobe himself say it before?

If the United States had not had Durant emerged at the 2010 World Championships, he would have been able to play in 55 with Chen Xiaobiao, he would not have been abused in the Olympics.

In fact, many superstars of the US team have almost lost confidence in FIBA ​​by the combination of Chen Xiao and Yao Ming.

On the court, after the warm-up between the two teams, the players of the two teams also stood on the court.

On the Chinese team's side are Yao Ming, Ah Lian, Xiaozhu, Chen Xiao, and Andy Lau.

On the French side, Parker, Batum, Galabel, Dior, and Turiav.

There are 10 NBA players on the court, and they are still very well-known, not the unknown supporting role in the NBA.

If French Celtic center Noah is not absent due to an injury to his left foot, the French team can also line up the entire NBA lineup.

Even the only player in the French team who is not an NBA, Michael Galabel is not a cliché. In the 2011 European Championship, this powerful outsider averaged 64% of three-point shooting percentage. In the 2010 World Championship, his three-point shooting percentage was 55%.

So before the game started, ESPN international basketball expert Fran Fraszira predicted: "The French team has many elite NBA players, but other players except Tony Parker may be considered insignificant and are not opponents of the Chinese Dream Team. After all, except Parker, they are not considered high-level NBA players compared with Chen, Yao and Yi. Compared with the Chinese Dream Team, the French team is of course a relatively ordinary team. They may lose 19 games when they play 20 games with the Chinese team.

but!

Please respect the French team and don’t ignore the French team’s ability to perform super good performances to achieve upsets.

They are very dangerous. Even if they are ordinary than the Chinese Dream Team, they are still one of the few teams in the world that can defeat the Chinese Dream Team and the United States. They are one of the best teams in the FIBA ​​field with the best speed, breakthrough and shooting."

I have to say that the ESPN international basketball expert's prediction is quite accurate.

In this match between the Chinese team and the French team, the French team gave the Chinese team a warning as soon as they came up.

After Chen Xiao scored a three-pointer at the beginning, Dior immediately pulled out of the three-point line in the same way and made a three-pointer. Dior has the ability to break through and support the pass. Al-Un dared not follow too much, otherwise it would be a great threat whether Dior passed the ball to Parker to break through or Dior himself.

Relatively speaking, letting Dior shoot three-pointers is a good choice.

Dior has good three-point ability in FIBA.

In FIBA, Parker has strong three-pointers, because Parker is very good at long distance two points in the NBA, which is FIBA's three-pointer.

Each of the five players from the French team can shoot three points.

They want to play in an explosive state, and it is definitely not a joke to beat the United States or the Chinese team in 20 games.

The French team's shooting condition in the first quarter of this game was indeed good. With the Chinese team deliberately suppressing the rhythm, they scored 22 points in a single quarter, only 4 points behind the Chinese team.

However, it is difficult for the French team to continue playing against the Chinese team. Dior made a very accurate three-pointer in the first quarter, but UAE didn't completely pull it out, which made Parker unable to break through at all.

Unless all French players' three-pointers are opened in this game.

But this probability is one in 20, 5%, which is what the experts say.

Obviously, this probability is very low.

In fact, this game was played with Dior, Galabell and substitute NBA player Pitrus.

And it barely opened. Dior scored 15 points, Galabel scored 10 points, Pitrus scored 10 points, and Batum, Turiav and Parker didn't open the three-pointers.

Batum was beaten to death by Chen Xiao, and Turiav was a little soft-hearted, while Parker was unable to break through to the basket and was very uncomfortable being entangled by Andy Lau outside. Although he scored 15 points, his shooting percentage was average.

In the end, facing France's team that could only defeat their own team, the Chinese team defeated them 96-69.

It cannot be said that the French team has no chance at all, but that in this game, the French team faced the Chinese team and their chances were only maintained for one quarter.

With the arrival of the second quarter, when their shots were not so accurate, they lost the opportunity to cause trouble for the Chinese team.

And this is also the strength of the Chinese team.

"As long as the Chinese team is Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian under the basket, as long as they don't come out inside, whether it is the French team or the American team, they can only bet on the outside when they face the Chinese team. When your outside player has a very explosive, the magical boy can also go outside to lock you!"

"This is the biggest wave of the world basketball world now. The super dream team that snatched the Dream Team from the hands of the American team, the Chinese men's basketball team!"

Listening to the excited voice of the British commentator on TV, the American male basketball player in front of the TV did not smile on his face, only calmness and a "full of awe in his eyes!"

Of course, the full of awe is exaggerated, and there is still awe.

“The most powerful waves!”

This wave ss, they haven't won for ten years!
Chapter completed!
