Chapter 881 So They Don't Have Much Confidence

This blow to Popovich is still quite big.

Because, as long as Wang Fei still has fuel in the fuel tank, it is definitely a huge threat to the Lakers.

"I can't figure it out, I really can't figure it out, why did he play two full quarters on the court, why does he still have such sufficient physical strength under high-intensity offensive and defensive situations?" Popovich shook his head.

Lao Zhan was standing beside Popovich at the moment.

Lao Zhan and Popovich are old friends.

The relationship between the two is quite good.

"Bobo, in the first two quarters, Wang Fei actually didn't use his full strength. Most of the time, our defensive players can easily guard him so that he can't interfere with our ball-handling players. , this situation is not normal. He has the ability to get rid of the defense and cause us more problems on the defensive end. But he didn't do that, I think, maybe he was saving his energy all the time, he was going to Give us a fatal blow at a critical moment," James said.

Popovich glanced at James: "Is that so? If it's true, it would be terrible. LeBron, do you think Wang's physical fitness can support him to play the whole game?"

James nodded: "I think that as long as he wants, he should be able to play the whole game. This shouldn't be a big problem for him!"

"Oh! In this way, we still need to maintain a high level of vigilance in the second half!" Popovich said solemnly.

"But I think our defensive strategy should have brought considerable interference to Wang. As long as we can continue to maintain a high-intensity double-team defense and continue to consume his physical energy, in the fourth quarter, his physical energy will definitely become A big question. At that point, winning the game is going to be a smooth ride for us," James said.

"Tonight's game seems to be a very difficult game. We can't easily win the gold medal!" Popovich said.

"As long as the Hua Guo team has Wang in the lineup, I don't think it will be too easy to win. I said in the semi-finals that it is much easier to play against Greece in the final than against Hua Guo. Unfortunately, Greece was eliminated by the Hua Guo team. Wang is really the most difficult guy I have ever seen! He is the only player I am in awe of in my career. Luckily, I have been teammates with him for a year." James said with a smile.

"So, LeBron, do you think it's possible for Wang to take banned drugs?" Popovich asked.

James shook his head without hesitation: "There is no possibility. The current drug test is too strict. Wang participated in four events in this Olympic Games. He is the key focus of drug testing before each game. He is estimated to have been tested. I don’t know how many drug tests, if he really took banned drugs, he would have been found out long ago, right?”

"However, in tonight's game, his performance is really a bit strange! He has not rested for two full quarters, and he can still maintain high-intensity confrontation and fast and light speed, which is not normal." Popovich Qi said.

"There is nothing abnormal. Wang is a guy who can recover quickly. He is very strange. As long as he eats more after strenuous exercise, he can quickly replenish his energy." James said.

"It seems that you trust him a lot." Popovich shook his head.

"Of course, we are very good friends. I know him. He is a tenacious person. He is full of passion. He always releases great energy on the court." James said.

"However, it's unbelievable that a guy with such an unremarkable physical condition can grow into a world-class superstar. Could it be that Huaguo has researched a new banned drug that can completely change the physique of athletes? said Popovich.

"I don't think this guess is very interesting. Old Bo, if Huaguo really researched that kind of magic medicine, they won't be ranked behind us in the gold medal list in this Olympic Games, and they will probably be the best , and won all the gold medals." James said with a smile.

Just as Lao Zhan was talking to Popovich, the second quarter was over.

In the last attack of the US team, Kawhi successfully hit a three-pointer.

In this way, the US team entered the intermission with an 8-point lead.

Everything on the field seems to be controlled by the US team.

At this time, in fact, the vast majority of the audience watching the game did not quite believe that the Hua Guo team could overturn the US team and win the gold medal.

However, Wang Fei's fans were not displeased by this.

They believe that it is already very remarkable that the Huaguo men's basketball team can compete with the US team like this.

Because, in recent Olympic basketball games, almost all final opponents failed to cause trouble for the US team.The Americans are always able to win the finals with a big advantage!

With so many top NBA superstars gathered on one team, substitutes can become leaders in other teams. Who can shake such strength and heritage?
Therefore, everyone thinks that even if they lose, it doesn't matter.

As long as Wang Fei's performance is still strong, it will be enough to satisfy the fans.

Now, everyone is enjoying the fun of the game to the fullest.

As for winning or losing, no one cares anymore.

Wang Fei followed his teammates back to the locker room.

Yao Ming also came to visit everyone at this time.

Yao Ming was in a good mood and didn't feel worried about being behind.

"You played well! Thank you for your hard work!" Chairman Yao said to the players with a smile.

"Dayao, I estimate that it will be quite difficult for us to win gold in this Olympic Games." Li Nan said.

"It's already very good. You have reached the finals. This result has exceeded the expectations of the people of the whole country. Whether you can win the championship in the end, just do your best! Don't be depressed because of the loss. The US team is tough. They have won three consecutive Olympic games. They won consecutive championships. Their strength is really too strong. It is not shameful for us to lose to them. Of course, we can't play the second half of the game with the idea of ​​losing, or we have to fight against them. What if we win? Then we will really be famous in history!" Yao Ming said with a smile.

Yao Ming said, glanced at Wang Fei and said, "Director Li, I don't think you can use Wang Fei like this. Wang Fei stayed on the court for too long, so he should be given a rest. Even if we don't win gold in basketball, But isn’t there a football final in the future? We can’t let people from the Football Association say we are too selfish.”

Li Nan hurriedly said: "Actually, I told Wang Fei from the very beginning that his playing time should be limited, but Wang Fei was not very willing. Wang Fei himself hoped to stay on the court and help the team. Wang Fei, isn't that the case? ?”

As Li Nan spoke, he looked at Wang Fei.

Wang Fei nodded with a smile: "Director Li really hopes that I can take more rest. However, the US team is really too strong, and I probably can't sit still off the court. It's better to stay on the court and play a starting role. Don't let them It's better to spread too many points."

Yao Ming raised his eyebrows: "But, you are too tired like this! This will overdraw your physical fitness. In the end, we still can't win the game."

Yao Ming didn't think that if Wang Fei stayed on the field and fought hand-to-hand with his defenders for so long, he would still have enough physical energy to cause trouble for the US team later on.

Wang Fei smiled and said, "Actually, I've been paying attention to conserving my energy. In the first two quarters, I didn't use my full strength."

"Yes, yes! At the end of the second quarter, Wang Fei also stole Harden's ball and made a good pass." Wang Zhelin said at this time.

Yao Ming's eyes lit up.

He glanced at Wang Fei: "Xiao Fei, do you still want to win tonight's final?"

"Of course! It's my dream to win the Olympic gold medal in basketball! After finally reaching the final, why am I willing to only get a silver medal?" Wang Fei spread his hands and said.

Yao Ming smiled and nodded: "It is good to have a dream. Wang Fei is still very commendable. No matter what time, he always maintains a strong heart to win! This, I have to learn from him."

Wang Fei said with a smile: "Chairman Yao seems to be very tenacious when playing basketball. During the 08 Olympics, the situation was so unfavorable. You led the Huaguo men's basketball team to the Olympic quarterfinals."

Yao Ming has led the Huaguo men's basketball team to the quarterfinals of the Olympic Games twice.That was a bright era for the Huaguo men's basketball team.

However, Yao Ming's brilliance has long been overshadowed by Wang Fei.

It can be said that Wang Fei has become the most successful sports superstar in China.

He has become a symbol of this era.

Yao Ming waved his hand and said, "In the 08 Olympics, we can only say that we stumbled into the top 8. My team leadership ability is still not as good as yours!"

As Yao Ming spoke, an expression of being immersed in the past appeared on his face.

Unknowingly, the little giant who used to be all-powerful in the NBA is also 40 years old.

But the lush years of his youth are the most precious wealth in his life.

The conversation in the locker room was lively.

Overall, the Huaguo men's basketball team is very relaxed as a whole.

Because, they have no pressure now.

They just have to play as hard as they can.

However, the US team is not so easy.

The US team is now caught in a kind of anxiety.

Although they still lead by eight points, they don't feel safe.

During this timeout, Popovich carefully rearranged his tactics in the locker room.

His tactical layout is very detailed.

He considered all the situations that could be considered.

"Gentlemen, in the third quarter, we need to speed up the offensive rhythm. We must open up the score and make our opponents feel desperate. Only in this way can we take the game into our own hands!" Popovich said.

The third quarter is about to start.

Wang Fei followed his teammates out of the locker room.

He still walked with ease, and his whole body was filled with vigorous firepower.

At the entrance of the passage, Wang Fei still encountered the enthusiasm of many fans.
