I'm really good at shooting.

But Nowitzki didn't seem to realize this, he patted Sun Hao on the shoulder and continued.

sorry, I do not know you!

In the evening, the third game continued to be played in the arena.

The third game was between the Chinese team and New Zealand. This time it was Nowitzki's turn to watch the game from the sidelines.

Before the game, New Zealand performed their signature Maori dance before the game.

Sun Hao clearly remembered that when this dance was on the Olympic stage, it shocked Kobe and the others.

Watching it live now is even more shocking than watching it on TV.

That feeling, um, was really like the feeling that someone on the other side was about to stab me with a spear.

Not to mention strength or anything else, just this kind of momentum, New Zealand is the only one in the FIBA ​​competition.

After the opening warm-up is over, the game will start soon.

The game was played...much more intense than expected.

This New Zealand team was able to come to the World Championships because it eliminated Australia.

Moreover, the Australian team advocates confrontation, and confrontation is not the strong point of the men's basketball team.

All kinds of people on the field turned their backs.

But slowly, relying on the advantages of Sun Hao and Yao Ming in the one-in-one-outside matchup, the Chinese team still opened up the score a little bit.

Historically, China and New Zealand were in the same semi-final group, and they fought for the qualifying places with each other.

In the end, the result was a narrow defeat of 88 to 94.

After losing this game and missing the quarter-finals, the Chinese team seemed to have reached a certain threshold in the following games, and they went through a thousand miles. In the end, even the African brother Angola failed to win.

However, it can also be seen from this that even without the addition of Sun Hao and Wang Zhizhi, the men's basketball team is not far behind New Zealand in terms of strength.

Now that there are two more firepower points, Yao Ming has played in the NBA a year earlier, so it is not surprising to open the score.

最终，尽管卡梅隆有20分5板6助攻的出色发挥，但中国队还是在孙昊30分5助攻的带动下，以91比76击败新西兰队！

And this game has become the most memorable game in the history of the Chinese men's basketball team.

Because after winning this game, the Chinese team entered the semi-finals of the World Championships!

Before the end of the game, Zhang Weiping and Su Qun in the broadcast booth could not contain their excitement.

By the time the final whistle sounded, the two were too excited to speak.

Even if Sun Hao made it to the Western Conference finals, they were never so excited.

Because the NBA represents individuals.

The World Championships represent the country!

The concept is different!

"This is the platinum generation of the Chinese team!"

After Su Qun's mood eased, he spoke his golden commentary in the broadcast booth.

In the last century, Liu Yudong and Hu Weidong were called the golden generation of Chinese men's basketball team when they were young.

That golden generation achieved the best results in the quarterfinals of the Olympic Games and the quarterfinals of the World Championships.

But obviously, history was rewritten this night. The Chinese men's basketball team reached the semi-finals of the World Championships!

This is no longer the golden generation, but the super golden, platinum generation!

Moreover, the core of this team is very young!

Battle is 27 years old!Wang Zhizhi is 25 years old!Yao Ming is 22 years old!Sun Hao is 20 years old!

There is even the 18-year-old Yi Jianlian!

Not to mention the next World Championship cycle, which will be the Athens Olympics two years later, the Chinese team is likely to surprise people!

Not to mention the growth of Sun Hao and Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian might have already entered the NBA at that time!

Guaranteed a team with 5 NBA players, plus constant running-in...

A team with perfect talent and tacit understanding will be the new pinnacle of men's basketball strength!

Thinking of that, some fans can't wait to watch the Athens Olympics!

Of course, time cannot be turned back, and naturally there is no way to fast forward.

At this moment, most people are celebrating this historic moment for the men's basketball team.

Yao Ming was extremely excited, because when he was chatting with Sun Hao before, he said that he wanted to be the top four, but now he really did it!

Nowitzki also went down to the venue to celebrate Sun Hao.

"Do you think you have already entered the semi-finals, so..."

Sun Hao interrupted him directly.

This guy doesn't understand what a flag is, so he stands here like crazy.

Although they are good friends, it's better not to drag him in this kind of thing.

After the celebration of the men's basketball team, Wang Fei took the players back to the field to watch the game.

Including Dirk Nowitzki is still on the scene.

A large number of fans in the United States also flooded into the scene in a short period of time.

Because the last game of the quarter-finals was scheduled at 8:[-] p.m., the most golden time, and it was also the game that attracted the most attention.

Team USA, against Argentina.

In the overall evaluation given by fiba, the dream team ranked first with 90 points, Yugoslavia ranked second with 89 points, and Argentina ranked third with 85 points.

Looking at this team, Ginobili is the only NBA star, but in fact, in this team, Scola, Oberto, and Nocioni are already very mature players.

And they are in perfect harmony with each other.

The US team has already lost two games, and the only way to not be hung on the pillar of shame after going back is to win the championship.

So it's a game they can't afford to lose.

For the Argentine team, since winning the World Championships in 1950, their best result in this event is only No.6.

To break through, they must win the game in front of them.

Then, Mars collided with the earth, and the earth...was directly destroyed.

Argentina started like a rainbow, but the US team basically relied on Pierce to support it.

At the end of halftime, the Argentine team led the US team by 20 points!

Everyone at the scene was stunned. They realized just how powerful this Argentine team is at this moment, and only then did they realize that the golden generation of Argentina is on the rise!

The US team fought back in the second half, but Ginobili, Luis Scola, Oberto, and Nocioni scored points one after another for the Argentine team.

After the whole game, the Argentine team's shooting percentage was as high as 50%!

The US team, only 38%!

Facts have proved that talent is useless in fiba games, only the team with accurate shooting, tacit understanding, and good combination of inside and outside is the protagonist of this stage!

In the end, under the disbelieving eyes of the fans, the Argentine team withstood the death charge of the US team and won the game 87-80!

The US team failed to break into the semi-finals of the World Championships!

Great Qing...it died again!

Chapter 261 Love and kill each other! (updated)

Ginobili 15 points, Nocioni 14 points, Scola 13 points, Oberto 11 points...

The Argentines proved with their actions what is called American team basketball.

Ginobili's outrageous passes a few times during the game aroused the fans' sighs.

It turns out that basketball can still be played like this!

Nowitzki also fell into deep thought after watching the game.

As the fans said before, let him play the US team again, he is very confident.

Because he is confident that with his own ability and the team's team, he has a chance of winning.

But this Argentine team requires teams and individuals, and he feels that he has no way to start.

In fact, after four games in the quarter-finals on this day, fans can basically see one thing clearly.

That is the score given by fiba, whether it is an overall review or an individual review, they are actually relatively objective.

Both Yugoslavia and Argentina have proved that their strength is indeed a level higher than other teams.

As for the Chinese team and the US team, no matter what the forecast is, there will be undervalued and overrated teams.

Just after the four quarter-finals were played that day, the forum was already full of excitement.

And this time, the reputation of American fans has changed drastically.

"So in the end, the Chinese team entered the semi-finals of the World Championships, but we were blocked from the semi-finals?"

"That's it! A historic disgrace! This is USA Basketball's disaster day!"

"Except for Paul Pierce, no one else on this team deserves to be in the national team!"

"Look, this is what we call freedom. In the end, those niggers wouldn't even play for the national team. Why do we spend money to support them?"

"I just said that the NBA shouldn't have allowed black people to come in and play. Look at what it's like now! Black people are the race that enjoys it the most!"

"Goodbye, brothers, your number is gone."

"I also think those stars are really unpatriotic in refusing to be called up to the national team. We are the most patriotic country in the world."

"So it's already like this, what else can I do? Is it impressive to let them deliberately lose and get 8th?"

"...It's better to finish playing early and come back early. The Athens Olympics will send superstars to bring back the championship."

"And this national team, except for Pierce, everyone else will be banned from the national team for life, they don't deserve it!"

……

There was a lot of scolding on the American forum, but the domestic forum was overjoyed.

The Chinese team can't win even one game, the worst is No.4, and the ranking is higher than the No.5 of the American team who won all!

Maybe before this, you will never imagine that the Chinese men's basketball team will have a better performance than the American men's basketball team in the World Series!

It's quite dreamlike to say it, let alone happen right in front of your eyes!

What's more, the US team may not be able to reach fifth!

Cool in one word!

After the end of the match day on this day, the two matchups in the semi-finals of the World Championships were finally released.

Germany against Argentina, and China against Yugoslavia.

The opponents are all the top three teams in the overall evaluation of this World Championship. For the German team and the Chinese team, their semi-finals are predictably difficult.

Fortunately, there is an offseason day in between, which allows them to think about how to play the following games.

The good news for the Chinese team is that they beat this Yugoslavian team.

The bad news is that the Yugoslavia team they won was without Divac and Peja, but both are now back from injury.

And entering the knockout round, the possibility of them missing the game is very small.

Divac and Peja, an inside core and an outside core, have obviously improved the Yugoslavia team.

You said you wanted to ask how to win, but Sun Hao didn't know.

There is no other way but to fight hard.

On this off-season day, Wang Fei only arranged training in the morning, and let the players relax in the afternoon.

Then during the break, Sun Hao had another unexpected visitor.
