Legend of Tomorrow

Chapter 836 [He is invincible in 1 vs. 1]

The Chinese team's style is comparable to that of the Spanish team, with both sides focusing on positional warfare. {щww{suimеng][com}

As Guo Xu said at the press conference, the Chinese team played very well in the second game and entered the final quarter with a 14-point lead. It's a pity that the Chinese team still lost. They lost due to lack of physical strength and weak substitutes.

Liu Wei played the best performance of his national team career, outplaying Calderon and Rubio on both offense and defense. In the fourth quarter, he was exhausted and had no choice but to have a substitute. Rubio and Kawhi only made one of 10 shots and scored a total of points. Liu Wei alone had 19 points and 5 assists.

Backup point guard Chen Jianghua's short-term mistakes were an important turning point in the loss. Can a person who averaged less than 10 points per game in BA and couldn't provide an assist control the ball at critical moments?

A big attack broke out in the final quarter, but in the end it could not withstand Spain's desperate effort. Liu Wei's mistake at the last moment caused the two sides to enter overtime with a 72-level tie.

In overtime, Yao Ming left the game with six fouls. The Chinese men's basketball team ran out of ammunition and was eventually reversed 75-85 due to exhaustion. The Chinese team relies heavily on Yao Ming's performance and cannot do without him on both offense and defense.

If the Chinese team wins Spain, and then wins two more games, it can compete with Argentina for the top four spots. Even if it loses, it will participate in the 5th and 6th rankings. No matter what, it will create history and go down in history.

It's a pity that they missed a breath, or a good backup point guard. After the game, many fans on the Internet lamented that it would be great if Guo Xu was Chinese. He and Yao Ming might be able to compete for the championship with the Chinese team.

The opponent of the Dream Team in the second game was Angola, and Guo Xu's performance was completely different from the previous game.

In the first game, he only took 10 shots, and he didn't make many breakthroughs. He just stayed on the periphery. In this game, Kobe's substitutes, Reed, and Guo Xu took more shots.

The Angola point guard is a small player with a height of 180cm. He is very fast and cannot fight or interfere with shots. Guo Xu dribbled the ball from his hips to catch a step-back jumper, and also shot a three-pointer during the counterattack. He did not pass the ball if his opponent did not double-team him. After a while, he scored 12 points and made 4 of 5 three-pointers.

After the opponent double-teams, Guo Xu starts passing the ball, running to catch and shoot under the no-ball cover of the inside players, or attracting the defense to pass to the inside teammates who are cutting in the air.

Guo Xu and James also cooperate very well. James can break through with the ball by himself, and can also attract double-teams and pass the ball to teammates. The Cavaliers guard relies on screens to catch and shoot. He is familiar with this routine.

Guo Xu scored 6 three-pointers in a single quarter, scoring 24 points and 2 assists. In the second quarter, he only played 5 minutes and scored 9 points. The score was scored at halftime, and the opponent was unable to fight back.

Lao K continued to let Guo Xu play in the second half,

It wouldn't work without him. The audience outside the stadium would keep shouting his name, which was very neat. The coach asked Guo Xu to sit on the bench because he was upset with the fans. He must have the most playing time in the team.

Paul felt particularly uncomfortable. The Chinese fans wished he didn't play for even a minute.

Guo Xu played 29 minutes, making 17 of 25 shots, 11 of 18 three-pointers, 6 of 6 free throws, scoring 51 points, 2 rebounds, 6 assists and steals.

His scoring efficiency is so terrifying. Under his leadership, the Dream Team was on fast break for almost the whole game, running and bombing in 7 seconds, fast but not chaotic. Angola couldn't slow down even if they wanted to stabilize the rhythm. The US team used a pressing defense in the frontcourt for a long time.

This is a tactic that requires physical strength. A team with an average lineup would never dare to play this way. However, Old K arranged this because there were too many stars in the team, too little playing time, too much physical strength, and nowhere to vent his energy.

Guo Xu's playing time was less than 0 minutes. Players in other positions shared playing time and played even shorter time. Even if Lao K didn't arrange this tactic, they all wanted to force him.

If you want to break the frontcourt press, the best way is to speed up and rush up to fight with the opponent. In this way, the opponent will be unable to defend for several rounds and will easily become confused.

In the world of martial arts, speed is the only thing that cannot be broken, but how could Angola be faster than the Mengba team? They were both beaten by the Chinese team by 17 points.

At the end of the game, 117 to 67, the Mengba team won by 50 points.

Guo Xu set the US men's basketball team's single-game scoring record, the Olympic single-game personal three-point record, and the Olympic team's single-game three-point record.

Guo Xu only took 25 shots and almost broke the men's basketball personal single-game scoring record in Olympic history. The previous record was set by Brazilian player Oscar Schumit in 1988, who scored 55 points against Spain.

Guo Xu is still the only player to score more than 40 points in the Olympics after 1990. In the Olympic individual scoring list, Yao Ming also ranked in the top 10. He scored 9 points against New Zealand in 2004, which was the second highest score after 1990.

There was also a funny tidbit in this game. After the game, two players from the Angola team hurriedly asked Guo Xu for an autograph with a pen and prepared Suns No. 1 jersey, fearing that he would return to the locker room.

They are die-hard fans, including the point guard who was beaten by Guo Xu. In the eyes of most Angolan players, losing by 50 points is not a shame. Playing with Guo Xu on the same field is a lifetime memory.

Guo Xu attended the press conference and had very different feelings. I actually feel very sorry for the Angola team. I had to take more shots to get a feel for it and warm up for the next game in Greece. I accidentally scored a lot of points.

The reporter asked in surprise: You mean you haven't used your full strength yet?

Playing the whole game means using all my strength. I hope to play the whole game in the next game. I have talked about this with the coach. Guo Xu smiled and said: Have you seen the game where I scored 101 points? That was when I tried my best. Playing with all my strength, I haven’t done that for a long time, I’m a little itchy.”

Reporters all speculated that the next game would be very exciting and the Greek team would be in bad luck. It's normal to be targeted by Guo Xu. Who made them eliminate the Dream Team 7 in the 2006 World Championships and have such an arrogant attitude after the game?

After being drawn into the Group of Death this time, Greek coach Yannakis also said very arrogantly: We just want to play against the best team. As for who our opponents are in the same group, we don't care. We don't care about the American team. The game is no different than the game against any other team.

Guo Xu even thought of the lines for the Greek press conference. Now do you see the difference between playing against the United States and playing against other teams?

As soon as Guo Xu said this, the tickets for the third game in the United States were quickly sold out, and NBA President David Stern also silently praised Guo Xu. Guo Xu's doing this is a good advertisement for the NBA. As long as he wins a big victory, the popularity of the national team that lost so many times from 2002 to 2006 can be restored.

Fans online are discussing what data Guo Xu will produce, and no one thinks the outcome of the game is in suspense.

I bet he will break the Olympic scoring record in the next game. As long as other players cooperate and let him shoot more, he will easily score more than 60 points. I am afraid that someone will not have the vision to steal the ball.

I feel that he is more likely to get a double-double. He has spoken. Can the Greek team not arrange tactics to double-team him?

I bet tomorrow we will beat Greece by more than 50 points, not less than Angola.

When Americans lost in the past, they often said: We didn't send our best players. Now that the best players are here, are the Greeks scared?

After reading the comments on the Internet, Coach K felt a little depressed because they lost to Greece in 2006.

Guo Xu was not present at the World Championships that year, and they actually lost to a team that was defeated by Spain in the finals. Now that Guo Xu has been added to the team, everyone feels that 40 points is too little to win against Greece, and more than 50 points are necessary.

The Greek team was under great pressure and practiced tactics carefully before the game.

They know that their opponents will fight to the death and will never hold back...
