Basketball Myth: Super Guard

Chapter 1132 The group match starts vs the Australian team!
On July 7, the men's basketball group stage officially started.

The Olympic men's basketball competition is divided into two stages. The first stage is the group stage. The twelve teams are divided into two groups, with 6 teams in each group. Each group adopts a single round-robin game. Each team will play 5 games.

The group stage adopts a points system, with 2 points for a win, 1 point for a loss, and 0 points for abstention. Finally, the ranking is based on points, and the top four teams in the group stage get the right to qualify for the group stage.

If the two teams have the same points, then they will be ranked according to the relationship between the two teams. In the front, the Spanish team is in the back.

If there are multiple teams with the same points, such as China, Spain, and Australia, then they will be ranked according to the score ratio. The higher the score ratio, the higher the ranking.

The second stage is the cross-elimination. The qualified teams of A and B will form the quarter-finals, and the cross-elimination will be carried out. One game will determine life and death, and finally the champion will be determined.

The team that loses in the semi-finals will play one more game to decide No.3.

At the beginning of the group stage, the Chinese men's basketball team ushered in its first opponent - the Australian team.

This year's Australian men's basketball team was led by Spurs player Patrick Mills. Mills was the 09th pick in the second round of 2. In the past season, he averaged 25 points and 10.4 rebounds per game for the Spurs. , 1.8 assists, can only be regarded as a regular rotation player.

The Australian team has only one nba player, and he is not a star. Naturally, it is not as star-studded as the "double all-star combination" of the Chinese men's basketball team, but it should not be underestimated, because the other players of the Australian team are not weak. They are a team that pays attention to teamwork The overall strength of the team is not bad.

The game is about to start now, and there are fans from all over the world sitting in the auditorium, and there are naturally many Chinese fans. Many Chinese fans are waving various slogans, or have patterns of the national flag painted on their faces, cheering for the Chinese men's basketball team.

Some of them are overseas Chinese in the UK, while others came here specially from China.

In addition, there are also some Australian fans. The two sides are clearly divided, and they are divided by each other's national flags, forming a distinct camp.

And one group of people was particularly eye-catching. They were the players of the Chinese women's basketball team. Twelve female basketball players, including the coaching staff, all came.

This is the tradition of the Chinese basketball team. Every time the women's basketball team plays, the men's basketball team will go to the scene to support it. When the men's basketball team plays, the women's basketball team will do the same.

The Chinese men's basketball team here.

Everyone surrounded Coach Deng Huade. Coach Deng Huade spread out the tactical board, made some arrangements, and then waved his hand: "Fight hard, let's go."

"Yes."

A group of players responded in unison.

Qin Hao greeted his teammates, stretched out his hand, and his teammates also stretched out their hands. Everyone's hands were stacked together, and Qin Hao shouted: "The Chinese team will win!"

"Definitely!"

Everyone shouted in unison, the voice was like thunder, resounding through the stadium.

Not far away, a group of Australian players frowned, their faces full of dignity.

"Let me tell you something." The head coach of the Australian team clapped his hands and said with a serious expression: "On defense, the most important thing for us is to defend Qin. He is too much of a threat. Limit his breakthroughs and three-pointers, and try to force Qin He shoots in the middle distance. And Yao Ming, give him physical confrontation, after he loses weight, physical confrontation no longer has the advantage.”

"clear."

A group of players agreed in unison.

The Australian team has also specially studied the Chinese men's basketball team, especially Qin Hao and Yao Ming, who are the most important. In the Eastern Conference semifinals between the 76ers and the Heat, the Heat defended against Qin Hao's three-pointers and breakthroughs. Let Qin Hao shoot in the middle distance, and the Australian team plans to do the same.

As for Yao Ming, it is for him to fight.

"Okay." After making some arrangements, the head coach of the Australian team emphasized, "Remember, defend Qin and Yao well, and the others are nothing to worry about." Then, his tone changed, "On the offensive end, we have to Try to avoid Qin and Yao, and target the rest of the Chinese team."

It has to be said that the arrangement of the head coach of the Australian team is also very targeted.

The advantage of the Chinese team is that there are two players at the NBA All-Star level. The strongest are Qin Hao and Yao Ming. No one in the Australian team can match them.The disadvantage of the Chinese team is that other players are relatively weaker. Some players are not as strong as the players of the Australian team, and the lineup is very uneven.

As long as Qin Hao and Yao Ming can be restrained, others are nothing to worry about. Although this statement is biased, it is not unreasonable, but can they restrain Qin Hao and Yao Ming?

"Snapped!"

The game officially started, Yao Ming jumped the ball to win, and the Chinese team got the ball.

Qin Hao pushed forward with the ball, and soon came to the frontcourt. After taking a look at the situation on the court, several Australian players had already set up their defense. Their starting five were center David Anderson (211cm), power forward Matthew Nelson (208cm), small forward Joe Ingles (203cm), shooting guard Pete Crawford (191cm), point guard Patrick Mills (188cm).

At this time, it was Mills who was facing Qin Hao, and it was not the first time the two had fought. Mills had a dignified expression, his center of gravity was very low, and he raised one hand, keeping it in front of Qin Hao's face.

After a glance, Qin Hao gestured.

Yao Ming stepped forward to pick and roll, and Qin Hao used the pick and roll to break through.

However, the Australian team was delayed very quickly. Mills was blocked, and center Anderson rushed forward immediately, blocking Qin Hao's front, and raised his hand, not giving Qin Hao a chance to shoot a three-pointer.

Seeing the situation, Qin Hao paused for a moment, then suddenly changed direction and accelerated, passing Anderson in a whoosh.

"really."

The players of the Australian team sighed in unison, which was not surprising. They had already expected that Anderson would be passed, and his task was not to prevent Qin Hao, but to delay and give other players time to respond.They quickly shrunk and formed an encirclement circle on the inside. As long as Qin Hao crashed into it, he would be surrounded immediately.

"Huh?" Qin Hao was a little surprised, this defense is too familiar, isn't it the same set used by the Heat in the Eastern Conference semifinals?This is a direct copy of homework in Australia.

Originally, Qin Hao was going to break through to attract the defense, and then pass the ball back to Yao Ming.

But the opponent actually defended him like this, copying the homework of the Heat, he immediately changed his mind, stopped suddenly, and instead of attacking the inside line, he shot directly from the middle distance.

"Shh!"

With a soft sound, the ball goes in.

Qin Hao glanced at the rest area in Australia, and couldn't help showing a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Now he needs to take advantage of the tempering of the game to improve his mid-range shooting. The Australian team actually learned what the Heat did. Isn't this because someone will give you a pillow when you are sleepy?

PS: Because of the needs of the plot, I made some changes to the group stage schedule, so you don't have to be serious!
