The Chinese team almost defeated Greece, which made the fans heave a sigh of relief.

The host's fighting prowess is truly well-deserved.

Playing at home in the Olympics can really unleash 100% of athletes' potential.

In this environment, if Curry were a Greek, he would be able to create a blue butterfly swimming in the clouds for you.

This game is more like a trial for the Chinese team than the one against the Dream Six Team.

Let everyone in the Chinese team grow.

The defeat of Meng Liu, especially the second half, is the ultimate expression of Li Ang's personal heroism.

So the defeat of the Greek team really made the whole team sublime.

When he returned to the locker room, Li Ang stood in the middle of the court and gestured with one finger: "We are only one game away from becoming the Olympic champion, let's go!"

While the Chinese team defeated the host Greece, Argentina also beat Puerto Rico 84-69 and advanced to the final.

At this point, both sides of the Olympic finals have been decided.

The Chinese team and the Argentine team, these two old enemies are about to start a decisive battle on the top of the world.

The Argentinians can't wait to repay the grudge they suffered at the 2002 World Championships.

Of course, at the press conference after the game, Li Ang was still more concerned about his old friend Larry Brown's Dream Six team than the Argentina team.

After learning that the Dream Six team defeated Spain in the seventh- and eighth-place rankings, Li Ang smiled and said: "Congratulations to Coach Larry Brown for leading the team to a historic seventh place! I have said it before.

, Coach Larry has this ability!”

As expected of a good ventriloquist, Li Ang was so excited by what he said.

Larry Brown wanted to kneel down and beg Leon, "I'm already dead and I stink, can you please stop whipping the corpse?"

Li Ang didn't want to flog the corpse. The key was not to flog him now, because he might not have a chance in the future.

With Larry Brown's reputation now, if he wants to be laid off and re-employed, he probably can only do it in a place like the Knicks, where people are stupid and have a lot of money.

Judging from the development trajectory of the Knicks over the years, they are not Li Ang's opponent at all.

Therefore, Li Ang cherished the last time he spent with Larry Brown.

Li Ang's daily brown breasts have become a joke among Chinese fans.

At this time, because the Olympic men's basketball finals are about to begin, the popularity is unprecedentedly high.

Although there is no Dream Six team, the showdown between Argentina and China, their old enemies, is also exciting.

Can Stern watch as all the summer heat is taken away by the Olympics?

No, eight possible.

At this juncture when the Olympic finals were about to begin, Stern came up with a big one.

At the end of August, the NBA released a piece of news that caused heated discussion.

After opening zone defense and setting up a three-second defense a few years ago, which restricted behemoths like O'Neal, Stern updated the league version again and officially introduced the No Handcheck rule!

This rule is easy to understand just by looking at the name. It means that in the future, when defending outside players, you cannot directly attack.

The specific rule is that defensive players are not allowed to make any hand or forearm contact with offensive players outside the penalty area.

The defender can only stop the attacker through anticipation and sliding.

The main reason why this rule has caused such widespread discussion is that anyone who watches football knows that after the introduction of this rule, it will become easier for outside players to break through!

In the past, if you wanted to break through, people like Li Ang and Artest would just hug you, and you wouldn't be able to get up.

But now that the rules have been updated, hands are not allowed when defending in areas other than the free throw line, making defense much more difficult.

In the future, scenes of defenders and strikers breaking into the penalty area and fighting with centers will continue to increase.

No one dares to imagine how entertaining the games will be in the future. No one dares to imagine how miserable the inside players will be in the future.

O'Neal, who had been transferred to Miami just like in the original history, cried and fainted in the toilet. Geneva, without this rule, Leon would come in and ride on me at every turn.

With this rule in place, wouldn’t it mean that the boys in Nancun would bully me because I am old and weak?

If I meet that stingy Kobe again from now on, won’t I have to eat a mouth full of it?

To be honest, O'Neal is the person who has been targeted the most in recent years.

The NBA has also changed its rules in the past, but it is truly unprecedented that it has frequently restricted post players like it has in recent years.

First, the zone defense was opened, the extraordinary defense was cancelled, the defense was set for three seconds, and now a No Handcheck was introduced.

This is to gradually improve the position of the behemoths inside.

There is no way, who let the existence of sharks disrupt Stern's plan?

When the reasonable collision zone was set up back then, Stern's original intention was to make outside players more unscrupulous when breaking through.

Don't be afraid of offensive fouls, just rush in and dunk and that's it.

Why do you do this? Because Stern discovered that no one can do what Jordan could do easily before!

In order to find the next Maikou immediately, we can only achieve the goal of creating a god by modifying the rules and reducing the difficulty.

The emergence of Jordan has proved that outside players who play elegantly and look good are more eye-catching and more profitable than inside players who fight under the basket.

Don't look at the four major centers in the 1990s. It seems to be the golden age of centers.

But in fact, at that time, the NBA made money either because of the four major centers or because of Jordan!

If there were only four major centers without Jordan, the commercialization of the NBA would never be so successful.

To put it bluntly, the center has always been a foil in Stern's eyes.

Therefore, Stern has always wanted to change the NBA into a league dominated by outside players.

As a result, both Nima's and Stern's wishful thinking were completely disrupted by that damn fat man.

The reasonable collision zone did not allow outside players to rise, but instead allowed O'Neal to play unscrupulously under the basket.

O'Neal just bumped his elbow under the basket. He didn't even need to show his superb skills at the basket. He could easily abuse the entire league with so-called reasonable collisions.

Stern took a look and thought, this is not okay. Isn't this equivalent to returning to the era before Jordan when the inside was king?

Therefore, the rules have been changed like crazy in recent years.

Up to now, after the No Handcheck rule was introduced, all insiders can't help but want to complain about Stern: "You don't have any face!"

In the conscience of heaven and earth, Stern was really wronged this time.

The introduction of the No Handcheck rule actually does not further restrict centers.

When a truly capable center sees someone rushing in, he will just fly away.

Howard: Yeah, yeah.

Stern's wave at best strengthened the outside line, but did not directly weaken the inside line.

The ones who are really weakened by this rule are crazy-dog outside defenders like Leon and Artest!

Stern has not forgotten how many wonderful scoring performances were stifled by Artest and Leon through rough defense last season.

Especially Li Ang, who repeatedly destroyed the offense of star players in the playoffs, and always used very ugly and rough methods.

Stern's move is to undercut Li Ang!

Because Li Ang plays like an outside player, his offense cannot be reduced. Cutting down Li Ang's offense will weaken all outside offense.

Therefore, Stern can only start from defense.

If Li Ang's defense wasn't so strong, if he couldn't defend others in such a rough way.

Then Stern believes that other players are still capable of scoring points with Li Ang.

For example, in the playoffs last season, Kobe, Leon and Kobe each scored 50 points.

If Kobe was not guarded by Li Ang at the last moment, maybe the Lakers would be able to win back a victory.

That series was at least 4-1.

In the first round, if Li Ang didn't guard Angua to death, Angua wouldn't have been divided by 54 points.

Without weakening Li Ang, his four-round series can sweep you through two rounds. Who can stand this?

Is this business still possible?

Li Ang, who was being persecuted, swallowed his saliva when he saw the news, and then shouted in his heart...

Boss Si, please increase your efforts!

Li Ang never expected that Stern would dare to strengthen the Suns' offense!

That's right, Leon is not the roundworm in Stern's belly after all.

Therefore, he thought that Stern changed the rules...to assist him!

After the No Handcheck rule was introduced, those who benefited most were those outsiders who mainly focused on breakthroughs.

For example, AI, the key killer of Arenas and Kacun.
To be continued...
