The eastern area of ​​the Chrysaor Olympic Village in Petralona County, south of Athens, is where basketball teams from various countries stay. It can be considered a mini version of the "United Nations", only the top ten in the sport of basketball.

The second place is "United Nations". Of course, there are other sports in this Olympic Village, but basketball is concentrated in the east.

The names of the Olympic Villages of the Athens Olympics are very interesting. They are like the name of the Chrysaor Olympic Village where basketball teams from various countries are staying. Chrysaor is the name of the snake demon Medusa among the three sisters of Poseidon and Gorgon.

The image of the child born is a Pegasus, with strong fighting ability, which is used to refer to the flying and flying style of basketball. Statues or pictures of Pegasus can be seen everywhere.

The Greek Olympic Games are still very unique. If the budget is not enough, you have to be creative.

As for why the child born to Poseidon and Medusa was a horse, this made Liu Mang very curious when he first came here. When he asked, the Greek official who received them had a dark look on his face.

The qualifying competition for the 9th to 12th place has begun, and the top eight teams are preparing for the knockout rounds.

Fortunately, this is still the beginning of the century, and Greece has not yet gone bankrupt. Although it does not have the money to make the Olympic Village as gorgeous as it is, it still provides independent courts for each basketball team. Now the seven teams in the first eight miles are all in the Olympic Village.

Work hard to prepare for the competition...except for the US team, they always book hotels wherever they go, otherwise the stars would not come to participate in the Olympics.

The training of the Chinese team is in full swing, and everyone is actively preparing to play the American team.

Chinese players are no longer surprised to see Liu Mang practicing shooting with his left hand. Liu Mang's left hand is as easy to use as his right hand. This is not the first time that he has seen it in the past few days, and people in the NBA

They all use their left hand.

Two young men, Zhang Jinsong and Zhu Fangyu, called the taciturn Yi Jianlian to talk together, and then went to provoke all the teammates except Liu Mang...

After a while, Liu Mang finished practicing a set of left-handed shots for mid-range shots and long-range shots, and started regular right-hand training. Like practicing mid-range shots, he practiced shooting around the five fixed shooting points on the Fiba three-point line.

After one hundred balls, when he was instructing the staff, he found that his teammates were training more actively. Liu Mang was very satisfied. To defeat the American team, there should be such a positive momentum.

The American team has been at its weakest in recent years. If you have the chance to fuck them, do it hard!

For Liu Mang, defeating the American team this time is crucial! Only by defeating the American team this time will he be able to fulfill his dream of medals in his basketball career in the future! If the Chinese team can also win medals, it will definitely set off a greater stir in the country.

The great basketball craze has driven the development of domestic basketball.

As a basketball player, the more honors Liu Mang has, the more things he finds he should do.

For example, by stimulating the domestic basketball trend, Yao Ming will be busier when he becomes the chairman of the National Basketball Association after he retires, so that he will not become a female omen so quickly after retiring... Let Liu Mang be the chairman of the National Basketball Association? Don't be kidding

Well, let Yao Ming deal with that group of outsiders. There are not many leaders in the domestic sports industry who understand sports at all.

…

The first preparation day has passed. On August 25, the semi-finals between Argentina and Greece and the semi-finals between Puerto Rico and Spain were completed this afternoon.

Argentina and Spain both advanced to the semi-finals.

Liu Mang was extremely envious after watching these two games. It would be great if they could play against the Greek team or Puerto Rico team, even Spain, but it was the United States!

"The Spanish team is really unlucky!" Liu Mang said angrily.

"Uncle, what happened to the Spanish team?" asked the little Loli who was watching the game with Liu Mang.

If you are in a bad mood, just torture Lolita! Liu Mang grabbed Dinah and rubbed the little Lolita’s face and said: “The Spanish team’s opponents are so weak. If they are second in the group, they should beat the United States, and we will meet

To Puerto Rico!”

"It's better to be bold than to be a fool..." The little Loli's face was rubbed so hard that she couldn't speak clearly...

"Oh... I'm going back to the Olympic Village first. Dinah can't go out and run around. You have to ask Levia to take you out!" Liu Mang put the little Lolita on the sofa. After watching the game, it was time to go back.

He went to the Olympic Village to continue training. Now that things have come to this, Liu Mang can only prepare well and go all out!

When it comes to playing against the American team, Liu Mang is more familiar with the opponent's style of play. Everyone knows it well, including head coach Harris, who also knows the NBA very well. In fact, it is a good opponent, but the opponent's lineup is a bit too strong.

.

"I got it! Dinah isn't going out, and uncle isn't here either. It's so boring to go shopping... The damn uncle eats Dinah tofu again..." The little Loli rubbed her face and then picked up the remote control and called up

Romance dramas with Greek mythology and Chinese classical mythology are not the only ones that are blindly written into soap operas by various screenwriters. The same is true in other countries.

Liu Mang saw the little Loli watching a soap opera again, smiled helplessly, and then secretly kissed Levia and Alexia who went to the room to take a nap, and left the hotel.

Arriving at the hotel parking lot, Liu Mang sighed before getting in the car: "Tomorrow... I will fight in the United States. Is it a surprise or a disappointment... At this time, no one remembers that tomorrow is my birthday, sir..."

…

…

"The women's volleyball team has entered the finals, and it is in this arena. This is really a blessed place for our country! Last time we also defeated Spain here. They were the favorites to win the championship. We beat them..." Kuang Lubin of the Chinese Men's Basketball Team was very happy.

He was talking loudly to Min Lulei, one of the coaches.

Min Lulei could only smile and nod.

On the afternoon of August 26, the Chinese team once again came to the Athens Pashinakos Stadium in Athens, also known as the Athens Olympiakos Stadium. This morning, the Chinese women's volleyball team just went through five games here and won with a weak total score of 3 points.

Poor, 105 to 102, defeated the powerful Cuban women's volleyball team with difficulty and advanced to the final!

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After 8 years, the Chinese women's volleyball team once again reached the Olympic finals. Eight years ago, the Cuban women's volleyball team defeated the Chinese women's volleyball team in the final. This time the Chinese women's volleyball team succeeded in revenge.

, and as long as they defeated Cuba and entered the final, the Chinese women's volleyball team was basically scheduled to win the championship. The opponent in the final was the Russian women's volleyball team. The Chinese women's volleyball team swept the opponent 3-0 in the group stage, winning a total of more than 20 points, crushing the strength.

So, the pressure came to the Chinese men's basketball team.

Kuang Lubin, the leader of the Chinese men's basketball team, envied the leader of the Chinese women's volleyball team, so during the warm-up before the game, he deliberately chattered loudly.

Finally, Kuang Lubin was called away by the staff and went to the competition venue first.

Liu Mang complained: "This guy comes here to put pressure on us when he has nothing to do. It's really annoying."

"Ace, there is nothing we can do about it. We have reached the quarter-finals for the first time as the second in the group, and with you, we may even reach the semi-finals. It may be difficult for you to understand this feeling. It's a pity.

We met the American team. If only we had beaten New Zealand and Serbia and Montenegro by a few points, we would not have surpassed Spain." Min Lulei sighed.

"Tch, this is not nonsense!" Liu Mang didn't say these words to avoid offending others. He was already depressed today. No one remembered his birthday, even the three girls at home. Now he is being run away by a leader who doesn't know what he means.

It's enough to add a lot of pressure to this.

It’s all the fault of Team USA! Liu Mang thought that those guys from the 2003 generation were so unsatisfactory that they could lose against Puerto Rico. If they had tried their best to reach the top two, they wouldn’t have played against each other so quickly. The second place in the group and the other group

The second place in the group can only play against each other in the finals.

"It's all James's fault! Fuck him!" Liu Mang found an object of hatred!

…

In the US team's game, everyone wanted to see them lose. This time, even Greek fans came to cheer for the Chinese team.

The Chinese team is a weak group this time. No matter which other top four countries in Group A play the United States, they don't look like a weak group. Except for the Chinese team, the other three countries look worthy of the United States.

The United States was defeated by Lithuania, and Italy, who played the same way, seemed to have an advantage. The American team was defeated by Puerto Rico, and Spain and Argentina also seemed to have an advantage.

The Chinese team, which relies on dual-core play, seems to have no advantage and is completely at a disadvantage, because even though Kobe, Tracy McGrady, and Carter are not here, the American team still has Iverson, who seems to be better than Liu Mang, and Liu Mang.

Marbury, who graduated from the same university as his mortal enemy, the Chinese team has Yao Ming on the inside, but the US team has Duncan who is theoretically stronger.

On paper, the U.S. team has an advantage. They are all stars and play superstar basketball. However, the Chinese team, which also plays superstar basketball, seems to be completely unable to compete with the U.S. team.

However, the Chinese team studied it for two days and did not think so.

Liu Mang and Harris agreed that there are not so many stars, but it is not a weakness, but may be their strength! Because the Chinese team clearly knows that the core is Liu Mang and Yao Ming, while the U.S. team only has combo guards.

There are two, and they are both. Larry Brown is more traditional than Harris. Harris has been baptized by the No. 8 rookie, and he has also accepted the No. 8 rookie's style of play, and by the way, he has also accepted Liu Mang's play.

Law, but Larry Brown is famous for sending his strongest lineup to kill him, and he has no offensive tactics to speak of.

Liu Mang felt that if the Chinese team played against the American team without him, it would be weak because the gap in point guard was too big, otherwise it would not be so miserable. In 2008, the American team fielded such a lineup, and the Cavaliers were at their peak 1.0

James, Paul, Howard, Deron, Wade, Anthony, Boozer...a bunch of the best players in the United States in their respective positions, as well as young blacksmiths who are at their peak and are regarded by Americans as "the strongest player".

The Chinese team only lost by 30 points even though the point guard suffered so much. If the back line had been denied a few direct steals, the point difference might have been even lower.

But now that the American team has such a lineup, and the Chinese team has added him, Liu Mang feels that there is no chance of winning!

Regardless of whether others believe it or not, Liu Mang believed it himself first. To deceive his teammates into showing their fighting spirit, Liu Mang first deceived himself and then deceived his teammates.

After Liu Mang's deception... no, it was a speech to boost the team's morale before training two days ago. The members of the Chinese team were convinced that they had the advantage!

It’s such a mysterious confidence, and this arena seems to be a blessed place for the Chinese team, so the confidence is even stronger!

Don’t say anything else, just do it!

After the players from the two teams entered the court, everyone on the Chinese team was familiar with all the players on the other side, because even the rookie Emeka Okafor was already well-known among Chinese basketball fans, and the United States

On the team side, what I know about the Chinese team is Liu Mang, Yao Ming, and at most Wang Zhizhi.

James was just about to try out two dunks, which was his habit before games, when he suddenly felt a familiar malice. He didn't even have to look back to know that it was that guy!

James originally saw that the opponent in the quarterfinals was the Chinese team, and his mentality was extremely relaxed. The last time they played against the Chinese team, they won by 63 points. When the American team was preparing for the game, most people did not take the Chinese team seriously.

Even if they have Liu Mang and Yao Ming, they don't care.

However, James felt that strong malice, and his whole body was not good! He had a feeling that that guy just wanted to mess with him! The feeling that he had felt three times in the past rookie season came again!
