Anthony the Reborn

Chapter 238 Argentine
The Chinese team has always been very dependent on the inside team, especially when their outside line has no advantage or even is at a disadvantage in the international arena, the degree of dependence is even more serious.

Wang Zhizhi has proved himself to be a very stable rotation player in the NBA, and he has also proved to be a reliable player at critical moments, but he is obviously not yet able to carry the entire team like Yao Ming. Moreover, his style of play was outside, so after Yao Ming fell into a foul crisis, the Chinese team completely lost their inside advantage, and the Chinese team that lost their inside advantage is a very ordinary team.

In the second quarter, it was still possible to entangle and control the point difference behind to single digits, but in the second half, in the second half of the third quarter, the US team's substitutes began to play, and the Chinese team collapsed completely. After more quarters, they were directly behind by nearly 20 points, which was not counted. After the fourth quarter, the point difference went to 30 points, and the game ended early.

At the end of the game, Anthony specifically went to find Wang Zhizhi and said a few words of comfort. There was also Battelle, who played as Yao Ming's substitute in this game. His performance was not outstanding, but he was quite satisfactory.

In fact, the Nuggets currently have 17 players on their roster, all of whom have contracts. It is very likely that Battelle will not be able to stay on the team in the end, so Anthony also hopes that Battelle can try to maintain a normal mind. He knows the disadvantages of the Chinese in the league. Easy, so he doesn't care whether Battelle is still in the Nuggets, or other teams, or has left the league, he hopes that the latter can always maintain a positive heart.

The game of the Chinese team is over, because another semi-final has been held before, and the Argentine team easily defeated the Italian team, so the final match is also out, and the opponents of the Olympic finals are also out, the US team vs. the Argentine team Well, the two teams belong to the Americas, and it is not known whether it was unexpected by the organizers to stage such an American basketball matchup on the European territory.

The final was three days later, and Anthony and his teammates got a rare vacation time. During the match against the Chinese team, Anthony once asked others to check if Su Xi was present, but the result still disappointed him. In the special competition, Su Xi still didn't show up, as if she had already left Europe, or she had never been to Europe at all.

Anthony can only really give up here.

The Argentine team has always remained competitive in the international arena, especially in recent years. With the rise of the golden generation, their performance has also been getting better and better. Especially in the World Championships two years ago, they defeated They defeated the Dream Five team and won the honor of "Dream Five Terminator", and in that World Championships, they only lost to the Yugoslavia team before the disintegration. It can be said that it was a glorious defeat. The U.S. team, no one can be their real opponent in this tournament, but this time the U.S. team is the weakest in history, even a level weaker than the Dream Five team they defeated. So they are determined to win now.

The Argentine team, now the golden generation, is led by Manu Ginobili, one of the "Troika" of the Spurs, Ginobili's teammate Oberto in the Spurs, and forward Nocioni who played for the 76ers. Guard Delfino, power forward Luis Scola who has signed but has not yet logged into the NBA.

This lineup can gather five NBA rotation players as the starting lineup. The strength is obvious. Moreover, these Argentines are different from the American team. Many of these people have played together in China. Naturally, their tacit understanding is needless to say. , so this final will definitely be their most difficult game for the US team.

In the pre-match mobilization, Brown also emphasized the difficulty of this game, so that the players must be fully mentally prepared.

On August 8st, the last day of August, the high-profile Olympic finals began in the much-anticipated time. Facts have proved that the organizing committee’s worries are unnecessary, although the two participating teams are not European players. team, but still attracted a large number of fans to watch the game. For them, it is the same whether there are European players or not in the game. The excitement of the game is what they care about. It's the stars, and they naturally won't let go of such an opportunity.

Soon, after the players from both sides appeared on the field, the fans on the scene immediately attracted a tsunami.

As expected before the game, Argentina started with five NBA players, and the fierce confrontation between the two sides kicked off after the referee whistled.

The more interesting thing is that the players who jumped the ball on both sides were Oberto and Duncan, both of whom were teammates in the Spurs.

In the end, Duncan took the advantage and successfully returned the ball to the US team's half court. Wade successfully got the ball, and he controlled the ball to advance quickly to the frontcourt.

After starting a few games, Wade's self-confidence has also increased a lot. He dribbled the ball to the frontcourt now. Seeing that the Argentine team's defensive formation was not up, he used his lightning-fast speed to go directly to the inside. When he was still more than a meter away from the basket, he jumped up and prepared for a wonderful one-handed dunk.

But at this moment, Luis Scola, the power forward of the Argentine team, suddenly appeared on the path of Wade's breakthrough. With his hands covering his crotch, he stood upright in front of Wade.

When Wade saw Scola's position, he was startled. This position appeared too accurate, but after all, he had the aura of a newborn calf not afraid of tigers, so he didn't stop the movement of his hands, and continued to slam dunks with one hand. Slam down toward the hoop.

Just as Wade made this move, Anthony was still on the outside. He was shocked when he saw this move and the player appearing under the basket, but it was obviously too late to stop him.

"boom!"

Wade successfully smashed the dunk with one hand, and Scola was knocked to the ground directly by him.

After the dunk, Wade looked very excited. He waved his fists and kept shouting to vent his excitement.

At this moment, the referee's whistle blew, and Wade became even more excited when he saw this. Just when he thought it would be a 2 plus 1, the referee suddenly stretched out his hand to him, and then made a fist with one hand and the other with the other. Make a palm, knock the two together, and make a gesture of offensive foul forcefully.

Wade, offensive foul!
Seeing the referee's gesture, Wade stopped immediately and kept yelling at the referee, muttering: "This is a foul, this is a foul, it's already in the three-second zone!"

Anthony saw Wade's excited expression, rushed over and grabbed him, then pulled him out forcefully, looked at a series of angry Wade, and said quickly: "Dwyane, this is the International The Basketball Federation, not the league, has no three-second defense and no reasonable collision zone, so wake up quickly!"

Anthony roared like a bucket of cold water poured directly on Wade's head, and he suddenly realized that this is no longer the league, and he finally muttered: "Damn FIBA, it's too backward , there is not even three seconds and a reasonable collision zone!"

Anthony looked at the furious Wade, and could only shake his head with a wry smile. Speaking of which, apart from overcoming opponents, it is also very difficult for NBA players to adjust themselves. After all, FIBA's regulations are different from those of the NBA in many places. , especially defending for three seconds and the reasonable collision zone encountered right now, ordinary people's habits are not so easy to change, and if they can't change their own habits, then the problems that Wade had before will continue to appear.

The US team's first attack came back without success, but for the team, the first ball was nothing.

But Coach Brown knows the importance of this game, so he has already yelled from the sidelines to let the players pay attention to the game's concentration.

In the offense of the Argentine team, Ginobili is holding the ball. His teammates in Argentina are very familiar with him, so they helped him with two pick-and-rolls in a row, and he quickly reached the inside of the US team.

Ginobili's breakthroughs and passes are unique in the league. His style of play is hard to guard against. Among Chinese swordsmen, he is like a lone knight with a slanted sword. He always uses his unique swordsmanship to defeat opponent, and this kind of swordsmanship also makes the opponent hard to guard against.

At this moment, after Ginobili broke through, he gave people such a feeling that his opponent was completely unpredictable.

However, the US team's defense came up in a timely manner at this moment. Odom and Wade's double-team attack made Ginobili's breakthrough fall into a double-team.

Anthony is now waiting for an opportunity. The possibility of Ginobili passing this kind of ball is very high, and with his ability, he can definitely pass it to the most open person, so he is going straight towards Scola at the moment. rushed over.

The Argentine coach on the sidelines saw Anthony's actions, and his face changed slightly. He knew Ginobili's playing style, but he didn't expect to be seen through by Anthony, which really surprised him.

Soon, a defense zone between Wade and Odom was formed, and Anthony had already rushed out. The coach on the sidelines looked worried, and the Argentine team's attack seemed to return in vain.

But at this moment, Ginobili moved, and his action was beyond everyone's expectations. He actually chose to do it alone. He turned around Wade, and then went straight from Odom's armpit. Slippery drilled in the past.

Sensing Ginobili's movement, Wade suddenly took a step back, raised his hand sideways, and fiercely blocked Ginobili's body.

Didn't Scola make him a foul just now, and he will make one now.

Ginobili slammed into Wade, but to everyone's surprise, before Wade was ready to fall backwards, Ginobili actually flew backwards by himself during the collision , and the ball flew out of his hand as he lost his balance.
