Chapter 485 The best record in Olympic history
Domestic public opinion naturally gave high praise to the outstanding performance of the Chinese men's basketball team. I did not expect that this men's basketball team could inadvertently break through the 8th place in the Olympics.
No. 8 in the Olympics has always been the ceiling of the Chinese men's basketball team. When Yao Ming was here, he was not able to break through. Unexpectedly, he actually broke through this time!
Domestic basketball fans have begun to worship Xie Kai. In this Olympics, Xie Kai really attracted countless fans. Some people used to call him a "fake foreign devil", but now such voices are almost extinct. From the humorous abandonment of the flag-bearer before, to the
Now he has helped the men's basketball team reach the top four. Who can not love such a powerful and low-key man?
In addition, the Chinese men's basketball team not only achieved the best record in Olympic history this time, but what is even more exciting is that they still have hope of winning medals!
Theoretically, as long as they win one of the last two games, they are guaranteed to win a medal!
Can the Chinese men's basketball team win an Olympic medal? No one would have dared to think about it before the trip.
The opponent of the Chinese men's basketball team in the semifinals is the Spanish men's basketball team, the first place team in the group stage.
The two teams met in their first Olympic game. In that game, the Chinese men's basketball team lost to its opponent and missed a good start. In this encounter, they will definitely not have any reservations and will definitely go all out.
For the Spanish men's basketball team, it is their best choice to encounter the defeated Chinese men's basketball team in the semi-finals. Because looking at the four teams in the semi-finals, the Chinese men's basketball team is the weakest.
But they don't dare to underestimate this team. It was not easy for them to win in the group stage, and they almost overturned. The opponent team is generally weak, but the starting lineup has 4 players with NBA resumes, which is extremely strong. Not to mention that there is also an NBA
Superstar Xie Kai leads the way.
Spain knows exactly how Lithuania lost, and they don't want to follow in Lithuania's footsteps.
The weakness of the Chinese men's basketball team lies in the substitute lineup, physical fitness and defense. Compared with the star-studded starting lineup, the substitute lineup is somewhat shabby; physical fitness is a difficulty. Except for Xie Kai and Yi Jianlian, other players have more or less physical problems.
, and veteran Wang Zhizhi has a bigger problem with his physical fitness; defense is a long-standing problem for them. They can still get along when their physical fitness is good, but when their physical fitness declines, the problem becomes bigger.
August 11, London Olympics men’s basketball semifinals, Chinese men’s basketball team VS Spanish men’s basketball team!
On another field, Dream Team 10 VS Argentina!
The morale of the Chinese men's basketball team is extremely high. They don't think they have any chance. They only lost a few points in the group stage. The most important thing is that they have no baggage.
In this game, Ding Jinhui once again played as the starting player. After he started, the Chinese men's basketball team only lost one game, which was the game where they lost to the British men's basketball team in the group stage.
The game started soon.
The two teams fought hard to defend from the beginning, playing very fiercely and consuming a lot of physical energy. The Spanish men's basketball team attacked from the beginning of the game, leaving Ding Jinhui's mid-range and long-range shots open, and chose to let Sun Yue's 3-pointer go.
Ding Jinhui of the Chinese men's basketball team did not dare to shoot. Sun Yue scored consecutive 3-pointers and soon fell behind.
The Spanish men's basketball team combines inside and outside. Although the efficiency is not high, the big and small family members are highly visible in the interior and can still steadily increase the points.
Deng Huade began to mobilize his troops and generals, replacing the veteran general Wang Zhizhi in an attempt to strengthen the attack.
After Wang Zhizhi came up, the offensive end of the Chinese men's basketball team improved, but on the defensive end, he was targeted by the opponent, and the opponent's defender chased him to play pick-and-roll. Not only that, the two sisters-in-law on the inside continuously attacked him, allowing him to quickly accumulate
2 fouls.
The Chinese men's basketball team relies on Yi Jianlian inside to stop the two sisters-in-law. Xie Kai's half-court offense is limited by the opponent's attack, and it is difficult to provide strong output.
The Chinese men's basketball team relied on opening up the openings created by being flanked and dealing with its opponents.
At the end of halftime, the Chinese men's basketball team trailed its opponent by 6 points.
In the second half of the game, Xie Kai started to exert his strength! He made full use of the transition time to increase the number of his strong attacks. Once in the half-court position, he played more decisively and started attacking before the opponent could attack from a flank.
The Chinese men's basketball team once caught up with the score.
The Spanish men's basketball team is still very good. They didn't panic or get nervous. They played more calmly. After improving their defensive intensity against Xie Kai, they took advantage of the inside to score points in the inside.
In the end, the Spanish men's basketball team relied on its stronger strength to maintain the score advantage until the end. They defeated the dark horse Chinese men's basketball team and entered the finals. The losing Chinese men's basketball team needed to play 3 games with the loser of the next game.
, the 4th place competition to compete for the bronze medal.
Xie Kai was flanked throughout the game, but still scored 25 points, 8 rebounds, 8 assists, 3 steals and 1 block. However, the gap in strength between the two sides still prevented them from continuing to create history.
The soldiers of the Chinese men's basketball team are not frustrated. They have tried their best and they have no regrets.
As the Dream Team defeated Argentina and avenged their defeat in Athens, they will compete with the Spanish men's basketball team for the gold medal in men's basketball at this Olympics. The Chinese men's basketball team will compete with the Argentine men's basketball team for the bronze medal.
The Chinese men's basketball team still has a chance to win a medal, which is their final goal in this Olympics.
On August 12, in the battle for third and fourth place in this Olympic Games, the Chinese men's basketball team unfortunately lost to the Argentine men's basketball team and missed the medal.
The physical fitness of the Chinese men's basketball team was still affected, and their offensive performance was not good. The opponent was very experienced and worked well as a team, giving them no chance.
The Chinese men's basketball team also tried its best. They fought until the end and left everything they had on the court.
The men's basketball game is over, and the Olympic games are basically over. The Chinese men's basketball team has created its own new best record in the Olympics - fourth place.
At 4 o'clock on August 13, 2012, the Stratford Olympic Stadium in London, England once again became the focus. The closing ceremony of the 2012 London Olympic Games was held here as scheduled.
Xie Kai naturally participated in the closing ceremony with many Chinese Olympic athletes. He did not expect that the Olympic Games would end like this. For him, this is an important moment in his life.
After the closing ceremony, the Chinese men's basketball team returned to China with the Chinese sports delegation.
Xie Kai was in London to participate in the Olympic Games, but his fiancée Zhou Jing did not go with him. She stayed in China to discuss cooperation projects with Xie Kai's team, and she was extremely busy.
Zhou Jing and the others helped Xie Kai negotiate an endorsement deal during this period and were waiting for him to sign it. The endorsement deal was with Lenovo, a giant in the domestic computer industry, and their endorsement contract was 8 million yuan over three years.
This endorsement contract is not high in today's Xie Kai, but for Lenovo, this is considered a big deal for their company, and it is not low.
