Healing Basketball Chapter 1013

Chapter 1013 1013. Complete victory and promotion!

Regarding the advance to the quarterfinals, Liu Xiuneng can clearly feel that his teammates are not as excited as they were in the past two World Series advances.

Happy must be very happy and excited, but there is no surprise emotion of 'I can't believe it'.

This makes him happier than advancing ahead of schedule.

If one day, they can be like the US team, they feel that if they don't win the championship, they will fail... Maybe it's difficult, maybe it's just a dream.

But Liu Xiu has such a goal now, and works hard for it, even if it fails in the end, it doesn't matter.

It's like masturbating, knowing that you will never be the king in your life, but you can be happy for a long time if you improve a small rank.

He doesn't ask for more, and he doesn't hope that there will be another him, or another Yao Ming.

As long as there are more players like Hu Weidong, Wang Zhizhi, Yi Jianlian, Zhu Fangyu...these players will become the standard for the top domestic players.

It's still difficult, but it depends on human effort.

On the 16th, after two easy games, the Chinese team ushered in another formidable opponent—the Greek team.

At 10:15 in the evening, the game between the Chinese team and the Greek team started.

This game is the last game today, but the Spanish team, the Argentine team, the US team, the Lithuanian team, and the German team have all come.

The first four are championship teams, and the German team is the last opponent of the Chinese team in the group stage.

In the first quarter, the two teams drew many times. The opposing shark, Sksenitis, protected the frame fiercely. With the help of his teammates, it was difficult for Yao Ming to score inside.

But even though Yao Ming can't score in the interior, he can still contain the defense, so he enters the interior more frequently to help his outside teammates create shooting opportunities.

In the first quarter, Liu Xiu hit 3 three-pointers, Wang Zhizhi and Zhu Fangyu scored 1 three-pointers each, and scored 15 points in three-pointers, but the team only scored 22 points, 1 point behind the Greek team who scored 23 points Go to the second quarter.

In fact, the Chinese team guessed that this would be the case during the preparation stage. Based on the performance of the Greek team in the first three games, the coaching staff felt that the US team, the Spanish team, and the Argentine team were brought to play against the Greek team. , the most suitable to deal with the Greek team, think about it is actually the Lithuanian team, they all like hand-to-hand combat.

In the second quarter, the Chinese team started a battle of attrition, and the coaching staff regretted not bringing Zhang Songtao along. Wouldn't the 130 kg weight be easy to use at this time?

However, Wang Zhizhi took on the role of exhaustion very well. He and Yi Jianlian played as partners, one for top arc operations and the other for running around.

When the Greek team attacked, the Chinese team collectively shrunk their defense. If the opponent from outside can make a shot, then it will be recognized.

Advance to advance, the coaching staff of the Chinese team is so confident.

The score of the second quarter was 15 to 17, and the Chinese team lost another two points. In the third quarter, the Chinese team won back two points 17 to 15. At the end of the third quarter, the Chinese team trailed the Greek team by 1 point 54 to 55!

Entering the final quarter, both teams were exhausted and started to attack!

Yao Ming played only 7 minutes in the second and third quarters combined, for the last quarter.

But the situation of soaring points in the final quarter was not so smooth. Spanoulis and Papalukas led the Greek team to start a hurricane! Once pressed against the Chinese team.

In the middle of the fourth quarter, Liu Xiu stood up. First, he hit a jumper from the free throw line after a pick-and-roll, then broke into the paint and caused a foul and made two free throws. It was a wave of 4-0, and then Spanoulis and Zhu Fangyu competed. For a three-pointer, Spanoulis made another three-pointer after Zhu Fangyu responded with a three-pointer, but missed.

It was the Chinese team's offense again, Liu Xiu singled out Papa Lucas, made a strong step back and made a three-point shot...

Papa Lucas did not lose his position. He made up for it in time and reached out to interfere with Liu Xiu's shot. He defended well, but he failed to prevent Liu Xiu from grabbing the ball and jumping. This time the defense was a failure!

The 'water splash' was triggered, and Liu Xiu felt hot! Moreover, although Papa Lucas tried his best to interfere with the height of his retreat and jump, it actually didn't work.

Liu Xiu also made a three-pointer. He and Zhu Fangyu played each other 10 to 3 together, turning 4 points behind into a 3-point lead!

The two teams then had another tug-of-war. With 58 seconds left, Liu Xiu received the ball from Yao Ming and made a throw in the middle of the run, widening the point difference to 5 points.

Immediately afterwards, Spanoulis made his sixth three-pointer tonight, chasing the score to 78 to 80, but the Chinese team missed the last attack and gave the opponent a chance.

Fortunately, the Chinese team defended well in the last defense. Spanoulis was flanked in the breakthrough and was forced to stop the ball, but there was no teammate to respond. He patted the ball again when he was about to be intercepted. Pointed to confirm that the players of the Chinese team did not touch the ball after Spanoulis stopped the ball.

European Kobe made a second dribble error at a critical moment!

At the last moment, Liu Xiu received the ball and ran wildly, avoiding the opponent's foul and rushing to the frontcourt, running out of time.

European Kobe made 6 three-pointers tonight, scoring the second highest 25 points in the game, plus 3 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals.

Liu Xiu performed even better. He made 10 of 19 shots, including 6 of 11 three-pointers and 5 of 5 free throws. He scored 31 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists, 4 steals and 1 block. He led the Chinese team to a 26-pointer in the final quarter. With a score of 23, they narrowly beat the Spanish team 80 to 78, securing the top spot in the group 1 game ahead of schedule!

After the final whistle sounded, the players of the Chinese team cheered and celebrated on the court as if they had won the whole world.

This kind of anxiety to the end, relying on the explosive performance of the leading star, and even relying on luck to win the game, after really winning, the kind of happiness... Fantastic!

Kobe Bryant, Anthony, Wade, James, Bosh, Beast, Kwame Brown, Hinrich, Kidd, Gasol, Gasol Jr., Ginobili, Nowitzki... All eyes were on the data of Liu Xiu's first 4 games on the big screen.

In the second and third games, Liu Xiu played a lot of time, but the statistics were quite poor.

They naturally don't think that Liu Xiu is dying in the international arena. Obviously, Liu Xiu wanted his teammates to perform more in those two games.

The Olympic Games in the imperial capital of one's own country cannot steal the limelight by one person.

But when his personal ability is needed, he will naturally stand up.

However, Liu Xiu and Yao Ming's strength in this game is still stronger than the opponents expected!

Although Yao Ming did not take advantage tonight, in the first quarter, Yao Ming was tough on the inside group of the Greek team alone, which still made the beasts and the top picks of the parallel imports overwhelmed.

The two of them are brought to the Olympics this year because the center forward couldn't attack and couldn't handle the defense at the World Championships two years ago.

The United States no longer has the four major centers. It is impossible to combine offense and defense, at least one must be taken care of.

But the little giant in front of him, the Gasol brothers over there, and the diamond over there... Beast and the parallel importer are thinking about how to deal with it?

The two looked at Bosh at the same time. Isn't there another skilled center?

Bosh, who was still in the sadness of being abandoned, trembled unconsciously, feeling the cold in his vest... Why does it feel like someone is trying to hurt me again? !

On the morning of the ninth competition day of the Olympic Games, the Chinese men's basketball team did not arrange training, and the last game was played against the German team. If the Olympic Games were not held in their own country, the Blue Association would not agree to take a rest, and Yao Ming and Liu Xiu would not play tomorrow, but No preparations were made either.

Liu Xiu, Anne Hathaway and Qing Er brought his three children, he held the eldest daughter, Anne Hathaway held the second daughter, Qing Er held the eldest nephew, and came to the National Agricultural University Gymnasium together to watch the women's 72kg class Freestyle wrestling, the last match in the morning, the semi-finals were between Chinese representative Wang Jiao VS Japanese representative Kyoko Haguchi.

The 30-year-old Wang Jiao erupted into an unprecedentedly powerful fighting force, pressing down on Kyoko Hakiguchi, who was uttering wild words before the game, and beating her opponent with a score of 5-0.

Liu Xiu and others also watched the previous top 8 and top 4 matches. Although it was not difficult for Wang Jiao to win those two games, it was not easy, and she played quite steadily and cautiously.

Wang Jiao went berserk when she singled out Kyoko Haguchi, and Anne-Hathaway and Qing Er were taken aback for a while.

Anne Hathaway said: "I didn't expect women to fight so fiercely."

Qing'er nodded decisively.

Liu Xiuying said: "I will take you to Sichuan to see giant pandas in the future. If you have a chance, watch the couples fighting there, and you will know what fierceness is."

After a while of digestion, Anne-Hathaway and Qing Er understood what Liu Xiu meant.

The two looked at each other, and both saw strong interest in each other's eyes.

Just when they were about to leave, there was an episode. The athletes who were participating found Liu Xiu to watch the competition. The domestic athletes with social cattle attributes shouted his name loudly. Finally, he went to take a photo with the athletes.

It's not the first time I've taken photos with fans, but this time the feeling is very different.

After a day off, on the 18th, at 1:30 in the afternoon, Liu Xiu and his teammates entered the stadium, and they were about to usher in the final match of the group stage against the German team.

This game has attracted a lot of attention, and there is no match for the Chinese team that has not sold out all the tickets.

But tonight's game is second only to the Chinese team's first game against Spain in terms of enthusiasm among netizens, because the silver horn king of the German team is very popular in China.

The publicity campaign by the media is also done very well.

The Chinese men's basketball team and the German men's basketball team have played against each other 12 times in team history. The Chinese team has 2 wins and 10 losses. The last time the Chinese team defeated the German team was in 2003. Also, this is the first time the two teams have played in the Olympics Encounter... a bunch of not very interesting things to watch, coupled with the popularity of King Silver Horn, suddenly heated up the heat of this match.

However, this game is not very important for the two teams. The Chinese team is currently 4 wins and 0 losses, locked in the first place in the group. The German team has also won 2 wins and 2 losses. The Russian team has 0 wins and 5 losses, and the Australian team has only 1 win. With 4 losses, the German team has advanced to the quarterfinals.

The German team lost against Spain and Greece. One of these two teams won 4 and the other 3, and the net difference was much lower than the two teams.

So, the two teams played very well in this game!

Nowitzki competes with Yao Ming for post-ups, Zhu Fangyu for three-pointers, Liu Xiu for breakthroughs, Wang Zhizhi for support, and Sun Yue for blocks...

Nowitzki played 38 minutes, made 9 of 19 shots, plus 6 of 7 free throws, scored 24 points, 17 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks, leading the German team to 99 points.

Yao Ming played 27 minutes and made Kaman cry. He scored 25 points and 11 rebounds. Liu Xiu had 19 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists. Yi Jianlian had 9 points. Wang Zhizhi had 6 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists. Sun Yue had 5 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist. Blocks... The Chinese team scored 106 points.

106 to 99, the Chinese team narrowly beat the German team in the soaring points battle, 5 wins and 0 losses, all victorious and advanced to the quarterfinals!

After the game, Nowitzki rested his hands on his knees, panted heavily with his tongue out, and the big screen showed the camera. The fans had just finished cheering for the Chinese team, and started shouting "Silver Horn King" again.

Tonight, Dirk Nowitzki, who was almost exhausted from playing five games tonight, stood up instantly, wiped his sweat smartly, made a cool expression and walked towards the player tunnel, as if the guy who was exhausted just now was not him.

“I have to go out to buy a pack of cigarettes at two o'clock in the morning every day during my stay in China. I have never gone out to buy things at two o'clock in the morning in my life…”

“Today's game was the happiest I played in the national team... I won the bronze medal at the World Championships, but you couldn't believe how lucky I was that time...”

"Yeah, I'm not happy playing every national team game, I'm not happy winning or losing, you can see it, we have no tactics, our head coach said he doesn't know how to coach a player like me, he I prefer Kaman…”

"This is my last national team game. From now on, I will devote all my energy to polishing my skills."

"I don't know whether to hate you or thank you. The flip-back jumper you used before gave me a lot of inspiration, but you don't use that trick every time you lose weight. It's a pity..."

After finishing the post-match physiotherapy, Liu Xiu and Nowitzki returned to the Olympic Village and made an appointment for dinner at the centrally located restaurant.

The two chatted a lot. Nowitzki had been to China before for basketball promotion activities, but he had never gone out at night, nor had he stayed for that long. This was the first time he really knew China personally. Frantically expressing those feelings he had never had before.

While chatting and chatting, we talked about basketball and the national team. Liu Xiu didn't intervene to say anything, just listen to it. The other Liu Xiu did not refuse anyone, so he said whatever he wanted.

The last thing he heard was that his style of play changed after he got "thin"...Liu Xiu was also quite surprised. He found that people always thought that his style of play was different when he was "fat" than when he was thin.

Although he didn't know why people had that perception, he didn't bother to correct it.

In the evening, Liu Xiu brought Anne Hathaway to the Wukesong Stadium. Nowitzki joined the two alone. The focus match at 8 o'clock tonight was the US team VS Argentina.

After seeing Nowitzki, Liu Xiu looked left and right. Nowitzki was puzzled for a moment, then suddenly realized, with a slightly embarrassed expression.

Anne-Hathaway also remembered a piece of news she had seen, and was about to stop it...but there was no time.

Liu Xiu asked: "King Silver Horn, did your girlfriend come to China with you this time?"

Silver Horn King: (TT)

I want to go, is there time?
