Chapter 603 This World Has Changed (17)

The results of the lottery grouping came out soon:
Group A: Yugoslavia, Canada, Spain, Angola;

Group B: China, Puerto Rico, Türkiye, Algeria;

Group C: United States, Germany, Brazil, Lebanon;

Group D: Argentina, Russia, New Zealand, Venezuela.

The Chinese team drew the lottery!The three opponents in the same group are not very good.

After the lottery, many media also reported the interviews of international stars, and the Chinese team suddenly became the biggest favorite team to win the championship.

This atmosphere continued until the start of the game on August 8.

Because the opponent was not strong, the Chinese team easily won three consecutive victories in the group stage and advanced to the semi-finals as No.1 in Group B.

The media continued to tout, "The Chinese team is great," "The Chinese team is the biggest favorite," and "China's Li is in hot form."

Rematch, AC, BD.

100-86, 14 points to beat New Zealand.

90-84, 6 points Lectra Russia
85-86, losing to Argentina by 1 point. At the last moment, the Chinese team led by 2 points, but Ginobili stole a half-time three-pointer to give the game the lore.

In the end, the Chinese team advanced to the top 8 as the second in the group.

However, as soon as the Chinese team lost, various American media reports came out all at once.

"The biggest favorite to win the championship is nothing more than that!"

"Two consecutive MVPs are no match for second-round picks."

"Is the Chinese team really strong? No! It's all fake!"

In the quarter-finals, the opponent of the Chinese team was determined a day later, and it was the US team.

The U.S. team has changed from the Dream Five team before the start of the game to the U.S. "Defend the Dignity of Basketball" team.

In the group stage, the US team lost to Germany.In the rematch, they were bullied by Yugoslavia and Canada again.

The U.S. team finally entered the quarterfinals, really thanks to Brazil and Spain's poor performance.

However, even so, the American media still think they can come back.

"This Dream Five team is too young, and it should suffer some losses."

"As long as we win the Chinese team and regain our form, our young people can still win the championship."

"As long as we get back to our form, we are still an invincible dream team."

However, no!
They did not recover their form from the Chinese team, but completely lost their form.

86-67
The Chinese team beat the US team by 19 points, once again blocking the US team from the top four.

This American team looks like it has some stars, but not enough stars!Of course, the more important thing is that the members of this team are not familiar with the style of play in the international arena, and their shooting is terrible.

All members of the "Dream Team Five" are very young and have no experience in international competitions!

The Chinese team only played one stop on the inside, while the US team could only pass and pass from the outside, staring blankly, and hitting the iron with a "bang" every shot.

Paul Pierce, the soul of the Dream Five team, is also very helpless in the face of the Chinese team's defense.Coupled with Li Nan's personal defense, Paul Pierce didn't play much at all.

Andre Miller has a good overall view and can organize, but his shortcomings are too obvious. His shooting is too poor, and his three-point shooting percentage is only 22.3%.

Finley's COSCO shooting percentage is also very impressive today.

Reggie Miller is a sharpshooter, but that was a few years ago, and now he's just a bad old man.

The bad old man also hooked Li Nan's shoulder after the game, and the two brothers talked nicely.

"Li, don't you lose face too much, kid? You beat us so badly. Didn't you tell you to be gentle before the game?"

Li Nan also spread his hands helplessly, "Brother, we are really showing mercy. If you don't hold back, you may lose your underwear today."

When it comes to losing the game, Reggie Miller is also in the mood. After all, today, at his home court, in Indiana, his performance is also very bad.The sharpshooter of the past has begun to feel lonely now. "Oh~ forget it, forget it, let's not talk about those unhappy things, how about it, do you want to go to my house to have a drink and then come back to play the game?"

What kind of nonsense is this? "Hehe, forget it then."

After the game, the American media suddenly disappeared.

In China, however, happiness is blooming.

"The Chinese men's basketball team is amazing!!!"

This is not the first time that Chinese basketball has defeated the US team. This is not the first time. Of course, it will not be the last time. In the future, it will become more and more!

.

In the semi-finals, the Chinese team's opponent is the German team.

Facing the twin-tower combination of Nowitzki and Kaman of the German team, the Chinese team did not play Yao Liang at the beginning of the game. Instead, Li Nan directly initiated Xiao Kuailing. Tsky and Kamen lose their temper.

Seeing that they couldn't play, the German team also adjusted their lineup and replaced Kaman.However, at this time, the Chinese team replaced Yao Liang, and the Great Wall of China showed its power.Nowitzki was blown away by Yao Liang.

No matter how the German team changes, the Chinese team can always respond quickly.

In the end, 90-78, the Chinese team beat Germany by 12 points

.

The Chinese men's basketball team broke into the final stage of world events unprecedentedly.

The whole world is watching, watching the Chinese team, watching Li Nan, watching Yao Liang, watching every player of the Chinese team.

Fans all over China are looking forward to something that we have been looking forward to for a long, long time.

In the final, the Chinese team vs Yugoslavia.

The final was not that simple.

Before the game, the Yugoslav players always thought that the Chinese team was the biggest opponent, and the champion was the Chinese team.

However, when it came to the field, Yugoslavia fought so fiercely.Peja is pulling Li Nan tightly, Bodi Loga is like a magician on the court, and Divac is also very active.

The Chinese team seemed to be blown away by some reports before the game, and the start was a bit slow.

Li Nan withstood the first half alone, but he couldn't stand it in the second half. The opponent's defense was too clumsy, so he double-teamed and let others shoot.Let the rest of the Chinese team beat Yugoslavia.

However, the rest of the Chinese team did not stand up.

75-83
Yugoslavia defended successfully!

Bodi Loga, Peja, Divac, Gulovic, a few of them were frustrated in the NBA league, but in national affairs, in the national team, they found their place.

On the podium, watching other people hang up gold medals, but my own is a silver medal, I feel really uncomfortable.

Not only Li Nan is like this, but also other players of the Chinese team, especially domestic fans.

I don't know when our eyesight has become so high.
The Chinese men's basketball team "lost unexpectedly" in the final, of course, there are many media reports in the United States.Li Nan and the Chinese men's basketball team appeared again in some reports in the United States.

"MVP+ No. [-] pick, I still lost in the end."

"China Li wants to prove that he still has a long way to go."

"The Chinese team is only stronger than Li, and the others should continue to work hard."

The Chinese team was clearly the record-breaking runner-up, but it became a failure.

The world has changed!
