Chapter 162 The Powerful American Team!

On August 8, Athens, men's basketball quarter-finals, the United States VS China.

CCTV Sports Channel.

Yu Jia: "Welcome to the audience and friends to watch the men's basketball quarter-final match. Today, our Chinese team will play against the US team. This is also a duel between No. 4 in Group A and No. [-] in Group B."

The host Yu Jia’s tone was quite peaceful, with almost no emotion in it. Originally, the Chinese team won the first place in the group. He should be excited to tell the fans all over the country that our Chinese team is the first in the group. We won all the games in the group !Today we will challenge for the position of the semi-finals!
But no, if the opponent is another team, maybe Yu Jia's tone will be completely different, but today's opponent is the United States, Yu Jia also feels that this is really bad luck, he can't get excited, this opponent is too difficult No, they would rather go to Lithuania, which won all the games in Group B.

Zhang Weiping was also in the same mood, and introduced in a very calm tone: "Yes, although the US team is only ranked fourth in Group B, their strength must not be underestimated. In the knockout round, everyone must play even better. Seriously, this game is a challenge for the Chinese team."

The scene of the game.

Players from both sides have already entered the field. Before the game, the acquaintances of both sides greeted each other first.

Wade shook hands with Sun Zhuo, didn't say much, and didn't smile, they had a good relationship, but the arena is like a battlefield, there are no friends, and the two will definitely do everything to defeat their opponents for their own country.

Instead, Stephen Marbury, who is not familiar with Sun Zhuo, took the initiative to say a lot to Sun Zhuo: "I said, man, you are too unlucky to meet us in the first round of the knockout round. We didn't deliberately rank Against you, I will challenge you to fight. Don’t think about it. For the powerful dream team, any opponent is the same. In fact, I really hope that you can get the bronze medal or compete for the silver medal, but sorry, today After that, you will be eliminated."

It is not the first time that Marbury has despised the Chinese team to provoke Sun Zhuo. He, including many black players, has the mentality of discriminating against yellow players. When Jeremy Lin signed a three-year 3 million contract with the Nets, Marbury Just tweeted that Jeremy Lin's contract was seriously overpriced. What the contract showed was not Jeremy Lin's strength, but Jeremy Lin signed by the Nets for the so-called Asian market and other non-basketball factors.

Whether it is Jeremy Lin or the current Sun Zhuo, it is difficult to win Marbury's respect.

Sun Zhuo knew that Marbury played in the CBA for many years and won the championship for the BJ team. After that, Hupu JRS even built a bronze statue for him. Although it was later demolished as an illegal building, at least It also means that Marbury has a great relationship with China and BJ!
Sun Zhuo said: "If you despise China so much, aren't you afraid to spread the word and offend Chinese fans?"

Marbury, who is going smoothly in the NBA, chuckled and said, "So what if I get offended? I'm not playing in your CBA!"

Marbury walked away disdainfully, and then, Larry Brown and Popovich also shook hands with Sun Zhuo, Popovich remained silent, and Larry Brown only said: "Meet you again."

The words were extremely cold, and Sun Zhuo could feel his hatred for him from the cold tone.

Sun Zhuo knew that the two of them would try their best to limit themselves.

The U.S. team started with Marbury, Iverson, Jefferson, Odom and Duncan. At the beginning of the game, Richard Jefferson was always close to Sun Zhuo and did not give Sun Zhuo a chance to catch the ball. Once the ball is in Sun Zhuo's hands, Richard Jefferson is more vigilant. He is also very aware of Sun Zhuo's technical characteristics. In the corner, Jefferson will never leave Sun Zhuo, and will never give Sun Zhuo room to make a move.

When playing the playoffs with the Lakers before, Larry Brown suffered a loss at the beginning, so at the beginning, Brown strictly ordered all players to keep an eye on Sun Zhuo, and must not let Sun Zhuo bring the rhythm at the beginning.

Sun Zhuo was severely restricted in the first quarter, and could only let his teammates attack continuously.

Simply put, Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi started off well. Yao Ming played for the NBA Rockets and was an All-Star. He is very familiar with this group of guys and is not afraid of them. Wang Zhizhi hopes to perform well in this game. Let Popovich, Brown or other scouts fancy him and bring him an NBA contract.

The U.S. team was not that scary, and they didn't beat the Chinese team in the first quarter. The performance of the Chinese team in the group stage let them know that the Chinese team is not an opponent that can be defeated with one blow, and they have to take their time.

After one quarter, the Chinese team fell behind by 5 points, which is not much, but Sun Zhuo only scored 2 points. The Chinese team's offense was basically done by other people. Sun Zhuo could see that Yao Ming and the others had to hold on. Can't stop.

Yu Jia also expressed concern: "The fundamental reason why we were able to maintain a complete victory in the group stage is that Sun Zhuo is the scoring leader of our Chinese team. Only when he keeps scoring, the Chinese team is a strong team. In this way Zi has been relying on other people, always feel a little uneasy."

Zhang Weiping also said: "At the beginning of the second quarter, Sun Zhuo has to stand up. No matter how tight the opponent's defense is, he has to stand up and score. The US team will start to expand the score soon. The Chinese team still relies on Sun Zhuo. With Yao Ming, relying on other people, the four quarters really can't last."

If you want to win the US team, with the current overall strength of the Chinese team, it is impossible to win a big victory, it can only be a narrow victory. Since it is a narrow victory, it must be a stalemate until the end. Zhuo is sure to decide the outcome at the last moment, because he has such a high shooting rate as BUG, ​​and no one can compare with Sun Zhuo for key goals.

However, in the second quarter, the US team suddenly hit a wave of offensive climax!
After Iverson missed the shot, Odom grabbed the rebound and slammed into the basket. Facing Wang Zhizhi's defense, he dunked fiercely into the basket with his left hand and let out a roar!

Odom is not the only one who can dunk the dunk in the U.S. team. There is also Richard Jefferson who is playing for the Nets. After Jefferson made a successful breakthrough, Yao Ming was not afraid of facing the inside line. It was buckled in!

The point difference has been widened to 10 points, and the US team has fully entered the state. If the Chinese team does not counterattack, the game will enter the rhythm of the US team and be taken away by the US team.

The Chinese team called a timeout.

Everyone has helplessness and frustration on their faces. Is this the fate of the Chinese team?It’s hard to get the first place in the group, and finally get the seventh or No.8?
No, Sun Zhuo will not sit still, he has decided to rely on his own ability to save the team and compete with the US team!

However, Sun Zhuo felt that the current strength was not enough.

Before that, he had to obtain an ability, more precisely, it should restore an ability he once had.

By playing BUG, ​​it's time to reproduce the game!

Sun Zhuo used a game repeat challenge card: "I want to re-challenge the game between the Lakers and the Cavaliers on December 2003, 12!"
