Chapter 165 It’s “Rainy” In Beijing Today

Although it sounds a bit cruel, after Ginobili was injured, the members of the Chinese team, including the fans of the Chinese team, became excited.

I mentioned earlier that there is a little bit of hope against the Argentinian team, but in fact it is not much different from playing against the American team.

Well, it’s just like the difference between encountering a Siberian tiger and a South China tiger when you are alone in the wild. One will die faster and the other will die slower.

But now that Ginobili is injured, the difference is huge.

Ginobili is to Argentina what Spanoulis is to Greece and Jaskevicius is to Lithuania.

The Argentina team without Ginobili is like a tiger without claws and teeth. Damn you, you really have a chance to become Wu Song!

Therefore, as soon as the game ended, Yunus took the players to the locker room to work overtime to mobilize and arrange tactics.

This time the Chinese men's basketball team really has a chance to get a medal at home!

Moreover, the mood of the players in the locker room was completely different from the previous game against Lithuania.

This time there was no need to mobilize at all, the team members were all eager to try.

Lin Ying was also full of expectations.

Although there is no Ginobili in history, Argentina still beat Lithuania by 12 points.

But unfortunately, he watched that game again.

In that game, Argentina's wave of three-pointers in the second quarter stunned the Lithuanian team, and they still didn't recover until halfway through the third quarter.

In that game, the Lithuanian team fell behind by 24 points at most!

But after Lithuania recovered in the fourth quarter, they once narrowed the point difference to single digits.

It's just a pity that I lost too much in the past and fell short of success.

So essentially, the Argentina team without Ginobili is not much better than Lithuania.

So the men’s basketball team has a role to play.

Yunus doesn’t know as much about Argentina as Lithuania, but he doesn’t know much about it.

After all, he used to coach the Lithuanian team, and Argentina is a very important opponent of theirs at the same level.

There is naturally a lot of research.

Several key points he made are still in place.

Among them, he particularly emphasized the teamwork of the Argentine team, which is a weapon comparable to Ginobili.

Yonus is the best head coach in the history of men's basketball, and that's not what he claims to be.

…

August 24th is the last day of the Beijing Olympics.

Most of the Olympic events have ended, and the Chinese team has secured first place in the medal list with 48 golds.

The only thing fans are looking forward to now is the bronze medal they may get in the end.

And don't underestimate this bronze medal. If you can get it, it will have historic significance for the three major men's goals!

On this day, Wukesong was packed with seats.

Not only was the stadium full of seats, there were also fans standing near the broadcast screen outside the stadium.

There was a huge crowd and it was really spectacular.

Because there is an understanding that the distance between Wukesong and the Bird's Nest is very far, especially since this day is the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games, the road will be very crowded.

Maybe if you choose to watch the game in Wukesong, you will miss the final closing ceremony.

But there are still so many fans gathered here, even if they are just standing outside the broadcast screen.

From this you can see that the audience’s enthusiasm comes from the heart.

After all, if the men's basketball team really wins, then they will witness history!

Even the semi-finals were at 12 noon, and many people brought bread with them into the venue.

An hour before the game, buses from both teams began to arrive.

On the Argentine team bus, Ginobili looked out the window at the enthusiastic Chinese fans and was very moved.

That feeling is not only because of the enthusiasm of the fans, but also because of the current predicament of the Argentine team.

Before the start of the Beijing Olympics, their slogan was: Defeat the Dream Team again in Beijing.

Even the Spanish team dare not shout this kind of slogan, only they, as the defending champions, dare to shout it!

It's just that his injury dragged down the team. If he hadn't performed well in the first game, Argentina would not have faced the United States in advance without losing to Lithuania.

And if nothing else, this will be his last Olympics.

Four years later in London, he will be 35 years old, and his teammate Oberto will be 37 years old. At that age, he will be too old to compete in the Olympics.

Two years ago, he lost to Spain by one point at the World Championships. In the end, Spain easily won the final, which became his biggest regret.

+1 for regrets now.

When people reach middle age, their emotions are hurt when they touch the scene!

"Manu, we will win this medal for you."

Prigioni on the side saw Ginobili's sad mood and said.

"Yes, we can do it."

Delfino behind him also stood up and said.

The teammates in the car stood up one after another and echoed.

Argentina plays team basketball, and the prerequisite for team basketball must be that the team is united.

"Brothers, I believe you will bring back this medal, for sure."

Ginobili also realized that his emotions were affecting his teammates, and quickly adjusted and said.

"Argentina must win!"

The teammates shouted slogans and were emotional.

After sitting down, Ginobili turned his head and glanced at the enthusiastic Chinese fans outside the window.

Although these fans are very touching, there is only one winner in competitive sports.

I can only apologize!

…

The locker room of the Chinese men's basketball team.

"We are sure to win today. In training just now, the three points were more accurate than the last."

Sun Yue said with a smile after sitting down.

"Don't miss a single shot in the game."

Wang Zhizhi said with a smile.

"How can that be possible? Just look at it, we can shoot it when it blooms today."

Sun Yue's character is actually quite funny.

"Okay, we're all ready to go out."

Yao Ming said, reaching out to call all the players together.

"Don't underestimate the opponent just because Ginobili doesn't play against them. We still have the mentality of being weaker than them and fight for every detail. If we are ahead, don't fight randomly. If we are behind, don't be anxious. If we fight this game, I will give you a seat at the Internet cafe tonight. !”

The team members were already full of emotions, but they burst into laughter at this last sentence.

After sitting in an Internet cafe for twelve consecutive times, do you want to go to CS or World of Warcraft?

"Okay, Team China."

"come on!"

After shouting the final slogan, the men's basketball players began to run out of the locker room together.

When the men's basketball team went out, there was a burst of cheers.

The fans' emotions today are more exciting than any game in the past!

Lin Ying soon saw Durant waving to him in the audience.

After the game is over, he and Durant have to go to the Great Wall or something.

Before the warm-up, when I saw Ginobili on the opposite side wearing a suit and ties, the morale of the Chinese team was automatically boosted.

The news released by Argentina before was that they might not play, but now it is confirmed that they will not play, and the players are relieved.

When the national anthem was played during the opening ceremony, fans not only inside the stadium but also outside the stadium also sang along.

That really resounded throughout half of Beijing!

The members of the men's basketball team, including Lin Ying, sang along.

The Chinese men’s basketball team must win today!

After the opening ceremony, the starting lineups of the two teams were announced.

The Chinese team is still the same as it was at the start of the game: Lin Ying, Sun Yue, Zhu Fangyu, Yi Jianlian, and Yao Ming.

Argentina side: Prigioni, Delfino, Nocioni, Scola, Oberto.

During the final warm-up before the game, the photographer takes the camera.

One is Nocioni doing leg stretches on the sidelines.

In addition to Ginobili's absence due to injury, Nocioni also played with injuries and had thick knee braces strapped to his knees.

One is Lin Ying’s shoes. In the bronze medal battle, perhaps as a good sign, Lin Ying put on his pair of LinK-1 commemorative shoes again.

And when the camera zoomed in, fans discovered that Lin Ying had added a signature to his signature, and actually added a hand signature on it.

These are signed and original shoes, priceless.

The last one is Durant. The members of the US team have also arrived early. At this moment, Kobi is chatting with Durant.

The warm-up is almost done, and the starting players on both sides have begun to appear.

"China team, come on!"

The game hasn't even started yet, but the audience can't help but start cheering for the Chinese men's basketball team.

The audience at the scene was already so enthusiastic, let alone those in front of the TV.

According to official predictions, this game will set the highest ratings in the Olympic Games, surpassing the previous 100-meter final.

Basketball era!

"beep!"

A whistle blew.

Yi Jianlian jumped high and pushed the ball back to half court from Oberto's head.

The Chinese team attacks first!

Sun Yue was holding the ball in the frontcourt, and Lin Ying went over to block him.

After the demolition, Sun Yue quickly returned the ball.

This tactic was for no other reason than because Lin Ying wanted to find Prigioni's mismatch.

I have learned from playing against Lithuania before: Since teammates may not be able to change the pick-and-roll, then let them pick-and-roll for their teammates!

This trick is indeed simpler and more effective.

Then, Lin Ying started to beat Prigioni from behind.

Real roll call tactics!

This made Kobe Bryant happy in the stands.

Lin Ying's learning ability in the competition is still very strong.

The Argentina team wanted to trap, but Lin Ying's fake pass from behind prevented them from trapping easily.

Then, Prigioni couldn't resist Lin Ying.

Although Argentinian players are known for their confrontation, Lin Ying's position as point guard is a natural mismatch.

When Lin Ying reached the free throw line, Delfino attacked from the outside.

Because the Chinese team had Yao Ming under the basket, Oberto did not dare to help defend. If Lin Ying continued to play inside, Argentina would have no chance to help defend.

Lin Ying was also very decisive, splitting the ball outside in an instant.

Although Delfino was also very tall and raised his hands when he was flanked, he passed the ball directly and hit the ground.

Sun Yue received the ball and made a decisive three-pointer.

After these two knockout games, there are no other changes for the other players in the Chinese team. They are becoming more decisive and more accurate in shooting three-pointers.

This is why Sun Yue said before the game that the more he shoots, the more accurate he will be.

The trajectory of this ball looks very positive, and the backspin looks very beautiful.

"Uh-huh!"

There was a crisp sound.

Sun Yue's first three-point shot attempt went in!

This ball is so silky!

There was a burst of cheers at the scene.

This tactic of the Chinese team is very simple, it is to score the ball from behind.

As long as Lin Ying can find a breakthrough on the opposite side and as long as the Chinese team can score from outside, this tactic will have no solution.

Commonly known as: simple and effective.

Sun Yue's three-pointer at the beginning is a good sign!

Sun Yue also clenched his fists and raised his hands after scoring a goal.

That seems to be saying: Look, what I said is very accurate!

The Argentine team advanced into the frontcourt to play position.

Prigioni and Scola used pick-and-roll tactics on the strong side.

Although they both play in a European team style, Argentina is not a European team after all, and there are still differences in details.

They move less without the ball, but pass the ball more aggressively.

This is also the origin of the nickname "Ginobili per capita" given by fans to the Argentina team.

For example, Prigioni's pick-and-roll pass in this ball was knocked to the ground the moment after Scola opened it.

Scola's shot after receiving the ball.

"Uh-huh!"

It is also a hollow pocket.

Scola is still stable!

And without Ginobili, he will definitely take on more scoring responsibilities.

Both teams showed good form at the start.

The Chinese team has the ball.

Lin Ying continued to block Sun Yue and continued to attack Prigioni.

Delfino continued to attack, and this time he attacked earlier than before!

This time Delfino not only extended his hand but also extended his legs to interfere. This was blocking both the upper and lower lanes.

Lin Ying waited for him to come over before passing the ball forward.

The Argentine team assisted in defensive rotation, and Nocioni went to Sun Yue to make up for it.

Sun Yue also quickly gave the ball to Zhu Fangyu.

You may not believe it, but after Lin Ying restrained the defense, the Chinese team also played the high-speed conduction of European teams!

In fact, the principle is the same!

It's just because European players are more versatile, and their breakthroughs can attract double-teams or cover-ups, so there is subsequent conduct.

The Chinese team couldn't be attracted before, but now that Lin Ying can attract them, he can naturally play!

Even if you go back further, the 1994 golden generation of men's basketball team actually played like this!

Zhu Fangyu also took action decisively after catching the ball.

"Uh-huh!"

Then he got in!

The Chinese team scored three consecutive points in the opening game!

"pretty!"

Over at the commentary box, Su Qun couldn't help shouting!

The average height of the Argentine team is not much lower than that of the Chinese team.

Except for Prigioni, everyone else is over 2 meters tall.

And as mentioned earlier, Argentines believe in confrontation.

When these two are combined, it will be very difficult for you to score in front of them by attacking the inside.

If you don’t believe me, ask Meng Liu.

So the prerequisite for defeating them is that you must have good outside touch!

Why Meng Liu lost to Argentina? To put it simply, it was because of the inability to shoot from outside.

Mengba: Why was Ginobili able to suppress Argentina before he was injured? It was because of his accurate outside shots!

Not to mention Kobe and Anthony, Kidd and James both fired in that game.

So for the Chinese team, these two three-pointers at the beginning are the best signal!

In the frontcourt, Prigioni continued to play pick-and-roll with Scola.

But this time Prigioni's pass was intercepted by Lin Ying!

I didn't expect it the first time, but now that I know you're still fighting like this, you have the foresight and it's easier to make a decision!

After all, "Ginobili per capita" is just a kind of praise. Compared with Ginobili, there is still a gap between others!

The Chinese team played a fast break. Sun Yue's layup caused Delfino's thugs to get two free throw opportunities.

He adjusted his breathing and hit two free throws. The Chinese team led 8-2 at the beginning!

Kobe touched his chin in the stands and became more and more interested in Sun Yue.

The Argentine team attacked again in the frontcourt and adjusted their style of play.

Delfino held the ball and played a pick-and-roll with Oberto. After a fake shot, he hit the ground in the middle. Oberto took the ball and attracted Yao Ming to help defend. Scola cut into the weak side without stopping the game. Scola faced Yi Jianlian to help defend. Beautiful pull-up shot and a reverse basket!

This offense is a joy to watch.

Finally, in the third round of the opening round, the Argentina team played their beautiful team basketball!

However, the men's basketball team seems not to be affected at all!

After advancing to the frontcourt, Lin Ying continued to look for Prigioni!

This feeling is that you hit yours and I hit mine!

This time Nocioni came over in advance.

Lin Ying passed the ball directly to Zhu Fangyu without looking at anyone!

After Zhu Fangyu caught the ball, there was another big open space.

This time he shot faster, and it was obvious that he was more confident after making the first shot.

Then……

"Uh-huh!"

Enter again!

The audience's emotions were already boiling.

With three consecutive three-pointers in the opening game, it’s raining three-pointers for the men’s basketball team!
