Chapter 465 The Sino-Australian War
If we say that the 2008 Olympic men's basketball team is the best era for the Chinese team.

Then this session of the Spanish team is also their golden generation.

And Spain is even better.

For the Chinese team, Li Lei, Yi Jianlian, Zhu Fangyu, Sun Yue, etc. are still young and have not grown up.

And the two cores inside and outside Spain, Paul Gasol and "Bomb" Juan Navarro, have already (8 is the peak of their careers.

Both parties start:

Spain:
Gasol, Lopez, Fernandez, Navarro, Reyes.

Chinese team:
Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian, Li Lei, Zhu Fangyu, Liu Wei.

There is a small adjustment for the Chinese team. Liu Wei, who dared to fight and fight hard in the last game, took the starting position.

And at the beginning of the game, the Spanish team's tactics were particularly clear, focusing on defending Li Lei and Yao Ming.

In the last game, the US team was beaten to death by Li Lei and Yao Ming in mixed doubles. Spain will naturally not make this mistake again.

"As long as Li Lei and Yao Ming are restrained, the Chinese team will have nothing to fear!"

The Spanish coach has a plan in mind.

but……

Relying on the potential of Yao Ming and Li Lei, veteran Liu Wei seized the opportunity at the beginning, made a layup and scored 2 points in the crowd.

Bang, swish!

2: 0.

In this Olympic Games, Liu Wei is really tough!
The defensive end fights the floor.

The offensive end kills in.

He completely disregarded whether his small body could bear it.

Spain attacked.

"Bomb" Navarro circled outside, but was stalked by Zhu Fangyu.

Zhu Fangyu has been training with Li Lei for two years in the NBA Grizzlies. I dare not say anything else. His three-point shooting skills and defensive ability are absolutely outstanding.

Navarro couldn't run out of opportunities, and finally made a reluctant shot out of the frame.

Bang!

Yao Ming protected the rebound.

The Chinese team attacked.

Spain continues to focus on Yao Ming and Li Lei.

Yi Jianlian ran out of opportunities, and his hands went up and down from outside the three-point line.

Swish!
5: 0.

The Spanish coach frowned. Yao Ming and Li Lei were on guard, but the rest of the Chinese team played well.

Of course, only two rounds, the Spanish coach did not easily change tactics.

Spain attacked.

Gasol used his nimble footsteps, turned around, and hit the board without looking at the frame.

Bang, swish!

There are also!

5: 2.

The scene exclaimed.

This Gasol... this ball is simply a fairy, he doesn't look at the frame and hit the board.

It's so showy!
The Spanish bench instantly jumped up, raising his arms to applaud Gasol.

The Chinese team attacked.

Yao Ming and Li Lei continued to rely on their own restraint to create opportunities for their teammates. After passing the ball patiently, Zhu Fangyu made an open shot from the bottom corner.

Swish.

There are also.

8: 2.

After the victory of the China-US war, the confidence of the Chinese team players has been fully demonstrated, and the state is very good. The three role players got the opportunity and all of them seized the opportunity.

The fans of the Chinese team at the scene cheered endlessly.

Spain attack.

Gasol took the ball at the free throw line and continued to use his flexible footwork to force Yao Ming.

Yao Ming suffered a disadvantage in his footsteps, and he really couldn't keep up with Gasol.

But Li Lei and Zhu Fangyu quickly assisted in the defense and encircled Gasol at the bottom line.

Heh, the "tacit understanding" from teammates!
Gasol was forced to distribute the ball, but he did not distribute it immediately. When he barely found his teammates, the Chinese team arranged defense again.

Navarro can only reorganize the defense.

Facing Zhu Fangyu's stalking, Navarro did not find a chance and continued to score the ball.

Spain played very patiently, but then there was not enough time.

At the last moment, Reyes forced a shot and missed.

Li Lei took off the rebound and threw a long pass to Liu Wei who had already run to the frontcourt.

Liu Wei ran to the enemy camp single-handedly.

Reyes entangled Liu Wei and kept fighting.

But Liu Wei didn't flinch and forced a layup against Reyes.

Bang!

The ball missed.

The confrontation ability of the Chinese team defender is still a little worse.

But that was the next second, a figure rose from the ground, grabbed the bounced rebound, and made a dunk with a one-armed battle axe.

boom!
10: 2.

It was Li Lei again.

"Oh oh oh!"

Wukesong Stadium instantly boiled.

"The Chinese team must win!"

"We must win, the Chinese team!"

"The Chinese team must win!"

……

It is not only the Chinese team players who have greatly increased their confidence, but also the confidence of the Chinese fans.

In the last game, until the end, they dared to call "Come on Chinese team" as "Chinese team must win"!
And tonight, all the Chinese fans are shouting "China team, must win!"

Tonight, not only is the TV ratings skyrocketing, but social platforms are also booming.

"Stone is invincible! Who can stop him? He is a super giant in the NBA, and he has no solution in FIBA."

"Tch, I knew I could win this game. After all, we even made the American Dream Team [-], so who are we afraid of?"

"This year, the men's basketball team is expected to win the brand!"

"Upstairs, we have even done the US team, how can we only get one medal, the bronze medal is guaranteed, the silver medal is hard work, and the gold medal is not impossible!"

Back to the game.

The Spanish coach called a timeout.

With the opening two goals, he can still hold out.But now it's 10 to 2, and he really can't stand it anymore.

Before the game, they discussed it.

"The Chinese team is worth noting Li Lei and Yao Ming. As long as these two people can be restrained, the Chinese team is nothing."

but now……

The Chinese team is almost all soldiers, and everyone can fight.

End of first quarter, 22:14.

At halftime, 45:29.

The Chinese team led Spain by 16 points at halftime, leaving Spain without 30 points at halftime.

This is really...

In the China war, the Chinese team defeated the US team. You can still say that the Chinese team took advantage of it. The US team underestimated the enemy and is not familiar with FIBA ​​rules.

What about now?
Spain, the king of Europe, was rubbed on the floor by the Chinese team.

But Spain is still strong.

Especially Gasol is particularly awesome under FIBA ​​rules.

In the third quarter, Gasol scored 17 points in a single quarter to help Spain cling to the Chinese team.

67: 57.

The tenacious Spain deserves its name as a matador.

In the fourth quarter, the Chinese team had a problem.

In the first game against the US team, the Chinese team exhausted a lot of physical strength. This time it was another tough battle. For two consecutive games, the main players of the Chinese team were physically weak and made some low-level mistakes that should not have been made.

Spain seized the opportunity and narrowed the difference to only 2 points in one fell swoop.

Historically, in this game, the Chinese team also led by a big score, was tied in the fourth quarter, and was eliminated due to insufficient physical strength in overtime.

But now, Li Lei will not let such a thing happen.

At the critical moment, Li Lei shot from inside and outside, and made fouls, scoring 7 points in a row, widening the point difference to 9 points in one fell swoop.

Also relying on these 9 points, the Chinese team survived the last moment.

82:75, the Chinese team defeated Spain, two consecutive victories in the group stage, ranking first in the group.

此役，李磊再次砍下全场最高的29分11篮板4助攻3抢断1盖帽。

Yao Ming had 18 points, 15 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks.

The Chinese team's dual-core team continued to perform very well.

For the Spanish team, Gasol scored 23 points, 12 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 block.

After this game, the Chinese team was pushed to the top.

"Who else dares to look down on the Chinese team? It's too strong to be the world leader first, and then kill the king of Europe!"

"One is a coincidence, but two upsets are not accidental."

"The Chinese team is already one of the best teams in the world."

"I don't understand why you look down on the Chinese team. Li Lei, Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian, Zhu Fangyu, Sun Yue, Wang Zhizhi... How can so many NBA players be worse?"

……

On August 8, the Chinese team beat Angola, the king of Africa, 14:101.

On August 8, the Chinese team defeated the German chariot led by Nowitzki and Kaman 16:81.

On August 8, the Chinese team defeated the former European powerhouse Greece team 18:87.

So far, the Chinese team has won all five games in the group stage and entered the quarterfinals.

Group A:
Argentina team.

Lithuanian team.

Croatia team.

Australian team.

Group B:
Chinese team.

Team USA.

Spanish team.

Greek team.

The matchup chart for the first round of the knockout round also came out.

Argentina vs Greece.

Lithuania vs Spain.

Croatia vs USA.

China team vs Australia team.

The quarter-finals are a true matchup between the top eight teams. These eight teams are basically the eight best men's national basketball teams in the world.

Argentina, the first in Group A, and Greece, the fourth in Group B, dare not say who will win.

Of course, the fans of the Chinese team are very concerned about the fourth game: the Chinese team vs the Australian team.

The Chinese team, which won all the group matches, has no pride.

During the public training, the players of the Chinese team said in an interview: Australia is a very strong team. They are good at confrontation, tall and not easy to deal with.

"So we will not be proud or underestimate the enemy, but prepare for the game wholeheartedly."

However, the modesty of the Chinese team did not usher in any benefits, but instead made Australia crazy.

The Australian core player Bogut said: "In terms of strength, the US team should be the first in Group B. If we are allowed to play the US team, we have no confidence. But now, the opponent is the Chinese team, and I think we have great hopes of breaking through. This is definitely the best opportunity for the Australian men's basketball team to enter the next round!"

When the Chinese fans heard about Bogut's speech, they immediately exploded.

"Stupid Australia, why are you so arrogant? You are fourth in Group A, and you dare to be arrogant even if you get stuck in the knockout round."

"Australians are used to being arrogant, and so is Bogut. He used to be known as the Australian Duncan, but he didn't even pay attention to Duncan. But in fact, he is a fart!"

"Fuck Bogut! Fuck the rubbish in Australia!"

……

In such an atmosphere, the battle between China and Australia started.

Drip!

The whistle sounded, the ball jumped, and Yao Ming used his absolute height to dial the ball over Bogut's head to the Chinese team's half.

"Suppress Bogut at the beginning!"

"Oh oh oh!"

The fans of the Chinese team at the scene cheered.

As soon as Liu Wei dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, he found Li Lei reaching out for the ball.

This is rare.

Li Lei likes to attack in key rounds, or when his teammates feel bad, and rarely takes the initiative to ask for the ball.

But since Li Lei asked for it, Liu Wei would naturally give it.

Because Li Lei has long conquered the whole team with his absolute strength, the whole team from top to bottom, including the coaches, are convinced of him.

Li Lei took the ball and blinked directly at Yao Ming.

Yao Ming glanced at Bogut next to him, understood immediately, and pulled him out to set up a pick-and-roll for Li Lei.

Of course Bogut can only follow.

Australia's small forward was blocked by Yao Ming's solid pick-and-roll, and Bogut was forced to switch on Li Lei.

Li Lei accelerated directly and made a jumper against Bogut's head coach.

Swish!
2: 0.

Today's Li Lei, the mid-range jumper is as stable as a dog.

Australia attacks.

Bogut tried to hit Yao Ming in singles, but he slammed his back twice, and he found that he couldn't do it at all.

Moreover, Zhu Fangyu and Li Lei came up together to help defend Bogut, killing him by surprise.

Bogut made a mistake in his busy schedule and was quickly intercepted by Li Lei.

Li Lei found Liu Wei immediately.

Liu Wei drove like lightning and scored a layup from the frontcourt.

Bang, swish.

4: 0.

Australia attacks.

Their little guard broke through forcefully, squeezed Liu Wei away with his strong body, rushed into the paint area, and jumped up for a layup.

Snapped!
Yao Ming has a bloody hat: I invite you to eat hot pot tonight.

The Chinese team seized the opportunity and counterattacked with another wave of backhand.

and also.

6: 0.

Australia is a little restless.

Their guard continued to break through, but this time he didn't dare to rush to the basket, so he made a hasty shot, because he saw Li Lei rushing up fiercely, so he shot very hastily.

Bang!

Sure enough, I didn't go in.

Yao Ming protected the rebound in the backcourt and wanted to counterattack with a backhand.

But Australians aren't stupid either, uh... maybe not so obviously.

They retreated very quickly this time, and soon returned to their home half.

The Chinese team can only fast break and change positions.

This made the head coach of the Australian team breathe a sigh of relief.

However... Li Lei took the initiative to ask for the ball, set up a pick-and-roll with Yao Ming, forced Bogut to switch defenses, and directly faced Bogut with a mid-range jumper.

Swish!
Everything was exactly the same as the first round, but now the score has become 8:0.

"The stone is targeting Bogut!"

Zhang Weiping's guidance hit the nail on the head.

Teacher Sun Zhengping smiled, and said it more tactfully: "Shitou is actually a very easy-going person. If he targets Bogut like this, it can only show that Bogut is really not very good."

Australia attacks.

Facing the defense of the Chinese team's iron barrel, there is no chance.

"Oh oh oh..."

The Chinese fans at the scene stood up and cheered.

Aren't you Bogut arrogant?
Isn't there a chance to play the Chinese team?

Why is Australia's score so far still duck eggs?

The Chinese team attacked.

Li Lei continued to pick Bogut to play, and the pick-and-roll forced Bogut to switch defenses.

Bogut rushed up, and the Australian small forward also rushed up, and the two of them pinched Li Lei.

But Li Lei didn't hesitate at all, soaring into the air, facing Bogut, he stopped and made a jump shot.

Swish!
and also!

10: 0.

"Roar!"

Li Lei threw his fists and roared as he landed, making the fans even more jubilant.

And Bogut's face was extremely ugly. Although he was stupid, he could still see that Li Lei was targeting him.

Australia's offense, they tried long shots from beyond the three-point line, but they still didn't.

Bang!

Bogut angered not only the Chinese fans, but also the Chinese players. Even if they die tonight, they will rub Australia on the floor.
