I'm really good at shooting.

In fact, you can tell by looking at the style of play. Spanoulis is a master of organization, the kind of defender whose organization is better than offense.

However, his offensive ability is also very strong, which is the best proof of his 7 points.

If you have to say it, he is actually more like "European Nash".

Nash, Sun Hao remembered that jealous Steve again.

But at this moment, Sun Hao suddenly remembered something.

The Lakers seem to be short of a point guard?

Chapter 350 Fiba Killer!

It is not surprising that Sun Hao has this idea.

In history, Spanoulis also landed in the NBA, but he went to Houston and met Van Gundy.

It's not that Van Gundy deliberately targeted him, but that each coach has his own preferences.

Defensive coaches generally don't like players with poor defense.

Spanoulis is a typical player who is strong on offense and weak on defense.

It's like if you let Nash play for Van Gundy, you probably won't get too many opportunities.

Not to mention the "European Nash" of Spanoulis.

But Phil Jackson was different.

Considering Steve Kerr's positioning in the Bulls, Spanoulis can have a place in the Lakers.

Moreover, Spanoulis was selected in the 50th pick, the transaction value is not high, and it is not difficult for the Lakers to get him.

……

Spanoulis performed well, but as shown after the opening, the overall strength of the Chinese team is obviously stronger than that of the Greek team.

However, in the home game, the Greek team played very tenaciously and fought fiercely with the Chinese team until the end.

It was Sun Hao again, with two three-pointers in a row, helping the Chinese team defeat the Greek team 89-81 and successfully advance to the semi-finals.

Sun Hao scored a game-high 29 points and made 11 of 7 shots from beyond the arc.

On the Greek team, Spanoulis performed well, scoring 21 points and 5 assists, second only to Sun Hao.

In history, Spanoulis, Papa Lucas, and Sharks didn't become popular until the 2006 World Championships.

As it stands now, Spanoulis is taking the lead.

After the game, the Chinese team went back to the locker room to change their clothes and went to the auditorium to watch the game.

The quarter-finals were played in one day.

Before the game between the Chinese team and the Greek team, there were already two games with results.

The German team beat Lithuania 67 to 66 in a thrilling manner, winning the European Civil War and advancing to the semi-finals first.

Dirk Nowitzki scored 33 points, staged a lone hero.

Argentina beat Spain 106-96.

The Spanish team has played very well, but the strength of this Argentine team is outrageous.

In this case, the Olympic semi-finalists have locked three seats, namely Germany, Argentina, and China.

The last group of opponents who win the quarter-finals will become the opponents of the Chinese team in the semi-finals.

That was also what Sun Hao was curious about and concerned about.

United States vs Puerto Rico.

Of course, Sun Hao opened his eyes.

In the eyes of most fans, despite the poor performance of the US team in the group stage, this is still a one-sided game.

The game will start soon.

The Dream Six team encountered a big problem at the beginning.

Their outside line is on the iron again.

Iverson and Marbury took turns beating, and the basket of the Olympic Indoor Stadium in Athens roared.

As it turned out, Marbury's performance in the quarter-finals was only a flash in the pan.

An unreliable outside shooter, it is difficult to play in the fiba game.

USA Basketball lives in a dream more than American fans.

In the 2006 World Championships in history, they sent a young lineup dominated by the 03 generation, but still did not arrange a shooter, and the result was another overturn.

That is to say, after three consecutive failures, they realized the importance of shooters. Kobe, Paul, and Deron were not enough.

Puerto Rico seized the inaccurate point of the Dream Six team to shrink the basket, and the US team had a hard time scoring.

Looking back, they seized the problem of the lack of defensive tacit understanding of the Dream Six team and frequently used pick-and-roll shots.After the first quarter, Puerto Rico led the US team by 21 point 20 to 1!

And in the first and second quarters, the Puerto Rico team took advantage of the time when Iverson and Marbury were not on the court, and played a wave of 10-1 offensive, opening the point difference to 12 points!

The fans at the scene were shocked and excited.

The U.S. team is about to be knocked out of the Olympic semi-finals!

If this happened, it would be a big earthquake in the American basketball world, no, the world basketball world!

Sun Hao was also a little excited.

If what happens in the group stage in history turns into the quarter-finals, well, it will be interesting!

But at this moment, there was a change on the field.

After Brown came back from the timeout, he was obviously designing tactics for Anthony.

Anthony scored 10 points in 8 minutes in the opening game against the Chinese team, and his playing time has continued to increase since then.

In this game, Brown directly arranged tactics for him.

Anthony did not live up to Brown's expectations, with a three-pointer, a breakthrough foul, and a self-introduction foul.

He scored 7 points in one breath, and stabilized the situation on the field in one go.

Facts have proved that players with stable shooting can enjoy themselves in Fiba.

At this time, Sun Hao felt that the existence of Anthony made reality and history develop in different directions.

His feeling was also verified in the following games.

Anthony's shooting made Puerto Rico not dare to shrink so obviously, and the offense of the US team was obviously better.

At halftime, the Puerto Rico team led the US team by 47 points 42 to 5.

In the third quarter, Brown put Anthony in the starting lineup, and the U.S. team overtook the score.

In the end, the U.S. team lost first and then won, beating Puerto Rico 94 to 87 and successfully approaching the semi-finals.

Anthony played bravely and scored a team-high 21 points, setting the youngest record for the US team to score 20+ points in a single game in the Olympics.

After Sun Hao finished watching it, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion about Anthony's situation.

Because of his appearance, this is a 180° turn.

However, with Anthony's performance, if the Chinese team wants to win the Dream Six team again, it must not be as easy as the group stage.

But no matter what, the Chinese team met the US team again.

Moreover, it is still in the semifinals.

This time, either you die or I die.

At the press conference after the game, Iverson, Anthony and Brown attended together.

"We didn't feel very good on the outside tonight. Melo helped us a lot. I always believed in him."

Brown was not stingy about his admiration for Anthony.

Who wouldn't boast that his girlfriend is pretty?

It's just that Iverson couldn't help turning his head and glanced at Brown.

"We will beat the Chinese team, and I still have full confidence in our title defense."

When the reporter asked about Iverson, Iverson was still very confident.

This is also his character, just like the phrase "I will not respect anyone, nor will I be afraid of anyone" when he said at the beginning.

Unruly, it is in the bone.

……

The semi-finals will be played one day later, and each team has one day to prepare for the game.

Sun Hao first called Kupchak and told about Spanoulis.

Kupchak has also expressed interest in the European defender.

In fact, Sun Hao is playing in the Olympics, and the Lakers have always been paying attention.

This is also the normal state of NBA teams. Those NBA players on the US team, their home team is also paying attention throughout the process.

It's not about how they performed, but about possible injuries.

You must know that those who can enter the US national team are basically the core players of each team.

Just like Paul George in history, he was seriously injured because he participated in the national team game, and the Pacers were directly abolished in the next season.

That's what the teams are most afraid of.

If you pay attention to Sun Hao, you will naturally notice Spanoulis' performance.

However, because Spanoulis automatically participated in the draft at the age of 22, he still needs to contact him to know whether he is willing to go to the NBA.

After finishing the phone call with Kupchak, Sun Hao went to find... Nowitzki.

Spanoulis had to wait for Kupchak to finish talking, and he found time to meet Nowitzki for something to eat.

The previous group match schedule was tight, and they hadn't contacted them yet.

And this was the first time the two met after he was traded.

Nowitzki's expression was a bit complicated when he saw Sun Hao.

Although the two had already talked about the deal on the phone, their four-year partner was like a four-year relationship, only to be forcibly broken up by family members.

That's not something that can be relieved all at once.

Not to mention they have been through so much ups and downs together.

"I will miss you."

Nowitzki was affectionate for a while.

"King Silver Horn."

Sun Hao felt that the atmosphere was too sensational, so he patted Nowitzki on the shoulder and said with a smile.

Nowitzki managed to be amused by him.

After the atmosphere became more relaxed, they didn't talk about the transaction anymore.

A done deal, no amount of words can change anything.

They started chatting about the next game.

Similar to the World Championships two years ago, they entered the semi-finals together, and they all have the opportunity to go further.

And it will be even more special for Nowitzki, because he is going to play Argentina, which he played two years ago.
