Chapter 290: Gone, Gone
On the 28th, the men's basketball semi-finals of the Olympic indoor court of the Athens Olympics officially started.
The first to start the game between Argentina and Lithuania.
Because of the ample time and the current team atmosphere is relatively relaxed, all Chinese team members are watching the game.
Well, it’s not just them that relaxed, but also the US team. The US team is also very relaxed and has come to watch the game.
It seems that they are already worried about who will be the next final opponent?
"CCTV..."
A familiar voice sounded, and CCTV live broadcast began, and it was CCTV host Sun Zhengping.
"It's already 1 a.m. in Yanjing time, and I'm stuck in the middle of the night. I guess everyone is waiting in front of the TV.
Don't worry, the competition begins soon."
"Today's game was broadcast for two consecutive days. The first one to broadcast today is Argentina against Lithuania, and the second game is when we challenge the US team."
It was obviously a match between Argentina and Lithuania, but what the two were talking about was always a match between the Chinese and American teams.
"This year's Chinese team can be said to be the best result of our national men's basketball team in creativity."
"That's right, whether it's the Olympics or the World Championships, our goal has always been to advance to the knockout stage, reach the quarterfinals, or the quarterfinals.
This time, the men of the men's basketball team successfully reached the semi-finals, and we have already locked in the top four in advance."
Sun Zhengping also mentioned: "Now, many media and fans have mentioned winning medals. Director Zhang, what do you think?"
Zhang Weiping hurriedly said: "I don't think we can't be blind first. Think about it first, do we really have the strength of the semi-finals?
I personally think it's a little bit short because we are lucky. We won Puerto Rico in the quarterfinals. If we change our opponent, the result will not be certain.
And now the top four opponents are the US team, Argentina, Lithuania, a world champion, a Mizhou champion, and a European champion, we are still much worse."
...
This can be regarded as the appearance of CCTV and the national team to cool down the majority of fans and public opinion.
There is no way. When everyone saw that they had entered the semi-finals, they had the chance to win medals. Of course they were very excited.
Although I am very satisfied with the achievements made by the men's basketball team, who doesn't want to go further?
"By the way, Director Zhang, there is actually another problem, that is, the NBA's improvement of the national team.
In fact, we can see that the achievements made by the Chinese team this time are largely attributed to Chen Mo and Yao Ming."
"Of course, a higher level of field will definitely be greater for the improvement of players.
In fact, we can see that Yao Ming just looks at it that his physical fitness and technical level have made great progress in these two seasons.
From my personal perspective, if you have the opportunity, you should go to NBA to take a look, which can at least broaden your horizons and improve your level.”
...
In fact, the two of them talked about not only the NBA problem, but also the Wang Zhizhi problem.
In fact, after the end of this year's season, Wang Zhizhi already had a very strong idea of returning to China.
He was cut by the Clippers in the middle of the season, and after wandering, he played for a while in the Celtics.
Unfortunately, in the Celtics, he didn't get much chance, so it's not surprising that he was a little discouraged.
There have always been voices within the national team that Wang Zhizhi has come back, not to mention that the Bayi team is there.
Now, seeing Chen Mo and Yao Ming return from the NBA and directly leading the Chinese team to the semi-finals has made Wang Zhizhi’s affairs fade.
What's more, in order to prepare for the 2008 Olympics, Wang Zhizhi is definitely a very important part.
This matter has attracted Kuang Lubin, because it was the national team he brought Wang Zhizhi into.
This is a later story. The game has started and everyone's attention has gradually shifted to the game.
Argentina's advantages and disadvantages are very obvious when it comes to Lithuania.
In terms of height, the average height of the Lithuanian team is more than 203cm, which is something that Argentina cannot compete with, and in terms of speed and flexibility, Argentina has an advantage.
Lithuania has the advantage in the inside, while Argentina has the advantage in the outside.
Ginobili and Nocioni's performance today will determine the direction of the game.
Especially Ginobili, in addition to doing a good job in offense, he must also limit Lithuania's No. 5 Masijaskas's performance, he is the scoring leader of Lithuania.
For Lithuanian team, this requires full play to their inside advantages, as well as the organizational ability of core player No. 13 Jassico Visius.
Sure enough, at the beginning of the game, both sides were attacking around their respective advantages.
Although Lithuania has obvious advantages in the interior, Ginobili and Nocioni are very experienced in the face of such a tall European interior.
From the beginning, the game was evenly matched, and the game was gradually moving towards the Argentina's advantage.
It’s not that Argentina is stronger, even if it is, it’s probably not obvious, but that something happened in Lithuania.
Jassico Vitius, as the team's engine, is still the core of the organization, is too addicted to offensive organizations.
To put it bluntly, it means that the desire to attack is too low, and blindly passing the ball is not the best offensive choice.
Several times, Jasico Visius had a better offensive opportunity, but he still passed the ball blindly.
Sometimes his teammates have bad opportunities, so he still chooses to pass the ball. Such adventure passes will naturally make mistakes.
Now, Jassico Visius has surpassed Yao Ming in the list of mistakes counted in the Olympics.
Moreover, Jassico Visius' turnovers are more and less advanced in this game.
Once such a mistake occurs, it is easy for Argentina to play fast attacks and easily score points.
In this way, Argentina established a leading edge bit by bit.
Lithuania also once relied on the advantages of the inside to attack, and even brought the score back at one point.
But it's still the same problem. If the problem of mistakes is not solved, Lithuania will undoubtedly lose.
In addition to making mistakes, the Argentine team also continued to break through and cause damage by relying on its own advantages.
When they reached the fourth quarter, Lithuania's two main players, one was three foul and the other was four.
The defensive defense made Scola feel as if he was in the water in the inside and scored points one after another.
In the end, at 100:91, Argentina won the focus dialogue.
As early as the midfielder of Argentina and Lithuania, the Chinese and American teams had already completed the warm-up.
With the end of the two pairs of games, the Chinese and American teams are preparing for the appearance ceremony, and there are also preparations in all aspects.
The players on both sides shook hands and greeted, while Chen Mo held one after another, and there was no way, so he was too familiar with it.
These players of the US team are basically the main core of each team, and they have faced many games over the past season.
What's more, with James and others, Chen Mo certainly had to talk to them.
"Chen, don't worry, we will show mercy."
Anthony looked at Chen Mo with a smirk. Not only Anthony, but James and Wade were in a good mood.
When they were in the NBA, their three teams were basically beaten by the Heat.
In terms of personal data and performance, Chen Mo was even more crushed and completely suppressed.
However, now, they are very happy and satisfied, and the situation has completely reversed!
