The invincible kryptonite of basketball

At this moment, as a basketball fan, there is unprecedented happiness!

At this moment, it is so proud to be a basketball fan with your head held high!

"The five-star red flag is fluttering in the wind, and the singing of victory is so loud..."

I don't know who started it first, this song that resounded in London at the beginning, this time it rang again in Brazil.

And this time the singing was louder than the last time, because the Chinese team did not tie this time, but broke history!

The members of the Chinese team were originally celebrating on the field, but after hearing the singing, they also stopped one after another and sang together in unison.

This is the pride of a Chinese!

The Chinese team was celebrating, and at the other end of the court, the Argentine team members were embracing each other, their eyes looked a little lonely.

Stopping at the top eight, for the last few members of the former golden generation, this ending is not perfect.

The live song ended, followed by deafening cheers.

No matter how much or how long the celebration is, the Chinese fans present can't feel enough.

The fans were celebrating, and on the field, the players of the two teams were doing the final handshake.

Tang Tian and Ginobili smiled at each other when they shook hands, and then hugged each other tightly.

Losing is regrettable, but for Ginobili, losing to Tang Tian can be regarded as easier for him to accept.

"I will stay in Rio and I hope to see you on the podium at the end."

After parting, Ginobili said with a smile.

The outcome of the game could not be changed. Although he had regrets, he no longer thought about it. Now he could only pin his regrets on Tang Tian.

Tang Tian nodded.

"I will stand on the highest podium, just like you did back then."

He went on to speak seriously.

Ginobili was taken aback for a moment, then nodded with a smile.

This smile is not ridicule, but happiness and anticipation.

With Tang Tian, ​​everything is possible, not to mention that in the group stage, Tang Tian has already led this weak team to do it once.

All they have to do is to complete it again in the knockout round.

Chapter 879

"Dang Te has changed my understanding of basketball! If you want to win in the NBA? You don't need to be surrounded by superstars, you can shoot all the stars!"

"LeBron sent you a look, which means let you experience it yourself!"

"It's said that the Cavaliers 1.0 has been messing around, but they haven't tried one-star shooting. I think it can be done with LeBron's strength at the time!"

"It seems to be true to say that. LeBron's breakthrough and passing are very strong, and his physical strength is better than Tang!"

"It's not too late now, I think it's time for the Cavaliers to change their thinking!"

"No, no, generally the insiders with three-point ability have relatively average defense. Okur in Utah in the past, Jokic and Love now have this problem. 3D insiders, especially insiders who can top the center are quite rare."

"Speaking of it this way, Yi is very rare! He will definitely get a very good contract next summer!"

"I agree with you. In the era of small balls, this kind of inside line will become more and more popular, and now those inside lines with good defense can try to develop three-pointers."

"Like...Andrew Bynum?"

"N years later, Bynum was finally recognized, and it turned out that he was the pioneer!"

"If it weren't for the injury, maybe he has already led the center of the small ball era. We all misunderstood him before! We owe him an apology!"

"Ahem, I think Brook Lopez of the Nets is good. His defense is underestimated, and his touch is soft and has the potential to develop three-pointers."

"Forget it, as a Brooklyn fan, I think Lopez is too soft, the team should trade him quickly!"

"Actually, I think the Antetokounmpo of the Bucks is also good. He is very similar to LeBron who is one size bigger. They are also suitable for a one-star style of play."

"This is a good thing! I think the one-star style of play is much better than the current superstar team. Don't we miss the lone stars of the last century?"

"Actually, the Pelicans are shooting all-stars. It's just an enhanced version. Davis can shoot and play. That's why I like the Pelicans so much. It beats group basketball!"

"You're right, but isn't the Pelicans one star and fourteen shots? ╰(￣▽￣)╭"

"It's all right, this will be the new atmosphere of the league, and it's what we like!"

……

In addition to Chinese fans, the United States also paid attention to the performance of the Chinese team because of Tang Tian.

The word "one-star four-shot" is constantly being mentioned, and it is foreseeable that there will definitely be teams following this style of play next season or in the future.

After the match between the Chinese team and the Argentine team, the remaining three groups of quarter-finals also started one after another.

The second game was played between Croatia and Australia.

The leader of the Croatian men's basketball team is Bojan Bogdanovic of the Pelicans, plus potential newcomers Saric and Hezonia.

Their record in the group stage is the same as that of Spain, but they are only second because of their head-to-head record, which proves their strength from the side.

The intensity of this game is also much greater than expected.

In the end, the Australian team narrowly defeated the Croatian team 71 to 67 and advanced to the semi-finals.

In this Olympic Games, in addition to defeating the Chinese team in the United States, the Australian team is the most amazing.

The third game of the semi-finals is between Spain and France, starting at 7 pm local time.

According to the rules of the Olympic Games, the top two in the same group and the first in the group are avoided in the semi-finals.

In other words, the winner of this game is also the opponent of the Chinese team in the next game.

Tang Tian saw Ginobili before the game, and the two went down to say hello to Parker.

Parker looked a little worried.

France and Spain have often played against each other in the European Championships, but they have basically never won. This European civil war will be very difficult for Parker.

The game started quickly, and the process of the game was similar to what the outside world expected.

Although the Spanish team lacked Gasol Jr. and Ibaka, they still suppressed the French team by virtue of their overall strength and team style of play.

In the end, they also defeated the French team 88 to 66 and won a spot in the semi-finals.

Looking at this posture, the probability of this year's Olympic final is the same as before, a contest between the US team and the Spanish team.

The final four-game match between the United States and Lithuania.

The bumps in the group stage made this Dream Twelve team questionable, but in the knockout stage, they quickly bared their fangs.

They didn't give the Lithuanian team a chance throughout the game, and finally beat their opponents 101 to 67, securing the last place in the semi-finals.

The scene that fans have seen many times in this game is that Green constantly motivates Durant during the game.

Water drops through stone, and it can be felt that Durant has come out of the shadow of facing Tang Tian before.

At the end of the day's competition, the final four finalists of the Olympic Games were all released, namely the Chinese team, the Australian team, the Spanish team and the US team.

Three of the top four are from Group A, and this year's Group A's death group lives up to its name.

With the semi-final match confirmed in the semi-finals, the Australian team and the US team will meet again, and the Chinese team will face the Spanish team.

Both games were great to watch.

The Australian team lost only one game in this Olympic Games, and the opponent was the US team.

Now that the two teams meet again in the semi-finals, it is worth watching whether the Australian team can continue to be a dark horse, or whether the US team can defend the honor of the dream team.

Another group of semi-final matches also has a lot to watch and is full of topics.

The grievances between the two teams have accumulated as early as 08.

Regardless of the controversial propaganda that humiliates China, the Chinese team led by Yao Ming was finally reversed by the Spanish team, and the words that Yao Ming would rather break his leg still linger in his ears.

When it came to the London Olympics, Tang Tian led his team to a historic victory over Spain, making this grievance a step further.

Now that the two teams meet in the semi-finals, they will further guarantee the silver medal, and if they take a step back, they may not even get the medal.

As the saying goes, the road to enemies is narrow.

Whether it is the Spanish team's first shame, or the Chinese team's two goals, it is very exciting.

The semi-finals will start in two days, and the Chinese team is also making final preparations.

The Spanish team is undoubtedly still the second most competitive team in the world. The last time they won the London group stage, a large part of the reason was that they underestimated the enemy.

Moreover, the Spanish team is a typical European team basketball style, and it will be very difficult for the Chinese team to defend.

However, the Chinese team also has advantages. They won the Spanish Heart four years ago so that they are not afraid of opponents, and this Spanish team lacks Gasol Jr., Ibaka and others, and it is not the strongest lineup.

Of course, the most important thing is that they have Tang Tian.

It wasn't Tang Tian who was just a role player four years ago, but Tang Tian who was called Michael Tang by the Brazilian commentator.

8 Chapter Eighty

There are still two days before the start of the semi-finals, and the top four teams are making final preparations.

The Spanish team conducted two days of high-intensity training.

It can be seen from their actions that they attach great importance to the Chinese team.

On the last day before the game, a Brazilian reporter interviewed Fernandez who had just finished training.

"How do you feel about losing four years ago?"

The reporter's question was very sharp, but Fernandez had expected that the reporter would ask such a question.

"That doesn't make sense, you know we've won them many times, the Olympics, the World Championships, warm-ups, you know, we've won everything.

But they only won once, and it was when we were not prepared enough, and you will only remember that one time, because we won them for granted. "

Fernandez is a very high-spirited player. He played for the Trail Blazers for one season and was already in the team rotation. As a result, he felt that he was not paid enough attention, so he chose to leave the next year.

Facing the reporter's question, he answered quite simply and confidently.

"But they're not the same as they've ever been. They beat the U.S. team and you have core players who aren't here. Do you still think the team can win?"

reporters asked.

"Of course, Mark and Ibaka didn't come, but Mirotic came, Paul came, and besides that, Ruhr grew up and Rodriguez was at his peak last season.

We are still the Spanish team, and our goal has never changed, to beat the US team and win the Olympic gold medal. "

Unlike Gasol Jr. four years ago, what Fernandez exudes is not contempt but confidence.

He confidently believes that the Spanish team is here to win the gold with the United States, and they will not lose to any team before that.

"It's a knockout, man."

At the end of the interview, Fernandez smiled again and told reporters.

What he meant was obvious. Whether it was them four years ago or the US team, losing the group stage didn't mean anything. After all, it was just a group stage.

And now they are playing in the knockout rounds.

Just like the NBA's regular season and playoffs, the playoffs are the real battle.

And when they played with all their strength, they were completely worthy of any opponent, including the Chinese team and the US team.

This Dream Twelve team was defeated by the Chinese team in the group stage, which is the worst in history, and this is also their best chance to win the championship!

The two days passed quickly. On August 8, only two days before the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games, the semi-finals of the men's basketball team officially kicked off.

The game between the US team and Australia started at 3 pm that day.

Because the Olympic Games is coming to an end, many Olympic stars have come to the sidelines to watch the game.
