Chapter 694: Different Nowitzki and Wen Shui Win Double Gold!

On August 20, 2008, the first elimination day game of the Olympic men's basketball team began.

On this day, basketball, which has been weighed down by track and field, finally seems to have some hope of seeing the light of day.

On the morning of August 20, Ye Si had no track and field tasks. After winning the fourth gold medal in the Olympic Games yesterday, the team organized a small celebration party for Ye Si at noon today. , almost all the leaders of the men’s basketball team and the General Administration of Sports were present.

After all, Ye Si is now the number one player in Chinese sports history.

A young man who was only a few days away from turning 21 actually became the number one person in the history of Chinese sports in one fell swoop.

It is actually possible to win up to 10 gold medals at the Olympics.

You know, even in the entire history of the Olympic Games, the highest number of gold medals in a single Olympic Games by an individual is only five!

Although this is almost impossible, as long as the Chinese men's basketball team defeats the Dream Team, Ye Si's number of gold medals in a single session will double the original maximum number of gold medals.

This achievement is simply jaw-dropping!

"If we didn't know the actual strength of the Chinese men's basketball team very clearly, and if we hadn't watched the game between the Chinese men's basketball team and Angola, I would definitely believe that Ye Si can lead the Chinese men's basketball team to win the championship!"

The head of the General Administration looked at the young man with four gold medals around his neck with regret and sighed.

Perfection is a wish, but it is only a good wish.

Perhaps the biggest role of this wish is to deceive clicks from public opinion and the media.

Before the match between the Chinese men's basketball team and the Angola men's basketball team started, all of China felt that the Chinese men's basketball team could compete with the American team for the title of Dream Team.

Now, it’s very weak, very weak!

Now everyone can see that the reason why the Chinese men's basketball team is so strong is because of Ye Si's siege tactics of surrounding all the opponent's defenders.

But can such a siege net surround the defenders of the Dream Team?

It's obviously impossible.

"Just do it and cherish it.

It doesn't matter if you can't be perfect. Xiaoye is now a legend who never fails in the Olympics. "

Becoming the first person in the history of Chinese sports seems to be no different to Ye Si. His status in the Chinese sports world is already very high. He is the only athlete who can be independent. Even with the Chinese sports With the title of No. 1 in history, his treatment could not be higher.

"Although the actual effect is useless, it can also reduce some of the harassment of you being abused."

Harassment by relying on one's old age?

Yao Ming's words made Ye Si understand something.

Ye Si can see that Yao Ming is indeed experienced in this area.

After Bolt announced his withdrawal from the 200-meter race, Yes's state in track and field became a harvest state.

For Yes, participating in track and field competitions now is about harvesting gold medals.

As long as he appears on the track, his opponents will feel intimidated.

There is no way not to be scared. Every game, whether it is the preliminaries, quarter-finals, semi-finals or finals, breaks the world record in every game!

Ye Si himself doesn’t even know how many world records he has broken in this Olympics.

In this case, Ye Si will naturally focus more on basketball.

And basketball does require more energy from Ye Si.

In the game against Greece, although Greece was still beaten by China by more than 30 points. When attacking, Greece still could not break through Yes's encirclement net. However, on the defensive end, Greece's changes are still very worthy of the Chinese team's vigilance. Then When Greece faced Yes on the defensive end, they used double teams, double teams by two people all the time.

This is extremely rare in FIBA.

Although Yao Ming's performance in the game against Greece was crazy, he scored 38 points by himself.

But what if the opponent has a center who can guard Yao Ming?

Ye Si's pass to Yao Ming after being flanked was very beautiful, but because the passing distance was too far, there were many mistakes.

Now the Chinese men's basketball team needs to solve a problem, that is, on the defensive end, Ye Si is surrounded by a net. There was no problem before meeting the American team, but on the offensive end, how to solve the problem of Ye Si being double-teamed throughout the game? Yao Ming may encounter opponents. , can anyone else step up and end the game?

When the opponent puts three people on Yao Ming and Ye Si, the opponent's three people defending China will only have two players. Faced with such a three-on-two, can Yi Jianlian take the responsibility?

Yi Jianlian has been serving as the team's third point in previous games. Yi Jianlian, who has not had many opportunities to perform, is likely to be the winner of the Chinese team in the next knockout round.

Yunus is not sure about Yi Jianlian's ability to take responsibility.

This needs to be tested in games, but for the Chinese men's basketball team, they now need to understand their opponents.

This year's Olympic men's basketball team has entered the knockout rounds of eight teams, including Spain, Argentina and Germany. Of course, the Chinese team is the most familiar.

As for the four teams in Group B, everyone in the American team will be very familiar with them, but Lithuania, Russia and Australia are not so familiar.

The game on August 20th is just the right time for the Chinese team to understand the situation of these future opponents.

The first knockout match on August 20 is the Spanish men's basketball team, which is second in Group A, versus the Russian men's basketball team, which is third in Group B.

"Russia defeated Spain in last year's European Championship."

Before the match between Russia and Spain started, Yunus was explaining to the players of the Chinese team.

They are aware of Spain's strength. Although the outside was bombed, the team's internal strength and the overall strength of the team are quite outstanding. It is indeed surprising that such an outstanding team was defeated by Russia.

The Spanish men's basketball team and the Russian men's basketball team are old enemies. The two teams met in the 2007 European Championship finals. In the end, the weaker Russia relied on a last-minute buzzer beater to defeat the host country, the favorite to win the championship. Spain was defeated.

Can Russia defeat Spain again this time?

For the Chinese team, of course they support Spain.

Spain is very strong. If Spain advances, it will beat the US team and use Spain to consume the US team. This is of course better.

However, when Yunus mentioned the situation in Russia, the Chinese players were a little unsure about the true strength of this very mysterious team.

This team is a pretty amazing team.

Russia is looking forward to another miracle, and this time, when the two teams meet like this in the Olympics, Spain is obviously ready to take revenge.

And the final result?

In this knockout match that started at two o'clock in the afternoon, Russia led by Kirilenko was slaughtered by Spain by 20 points, 99 to 79!

Today's Russia has completely lost the glory it had during the European Championships.

The European Championship a year ago was the year when Russian coach David Blatt became a god. This American coach brought Princeton to Russia and achieved Russia's European Championship myth.

And like David Blatt, Kirilenko, who was so awesome in the final, and Holden, who stole Gasol and made Gasol lose weight in the end, led the Russian men's basketball team. A magical journey was completed in the 2007 European Championships.

But this year, in the 2008 Olympics, although these three are still in Russia, the magic of Russia is completely gone.

"The magic is magic after all. If the magic happens again and again, then this team is not Russia, but the Seattle SuperSonics. Similarly, this person is not Kirilenko or Holden, but Yes."

"It's a pity that we were eliminated in the quarter-finals of the Olympics. Spain is a strong team and has always been a strong team. They are more suitable than us to enter the semi-finals, and we, maybe we need another It’s starting again, but unfortunately, I can’t accompany you to start again.”

After Spain's revenge game against Russia, the head coach of the Russian men's basketball team, David Blatt, the legendary American coach in Europe, announced his resignation as the head coach of Russia.

The first game of the men's basketball knockout round between Spain and Russia had a bit of cruelty and bloodiness from the very beginning.

Looking at the Russian head coach being interviewed on TV, all the Chinese men's basketball players in front of the TV were looking at Ye Si, who was silent at this time.

They very much agree with this Russian statement. Yes is a person who can always create miracles!

The only team that can always create miracles is the SuperSonics?

This is indeed true, but now we need to add a Chinese team!

Yao Ming thought secretly in his heart after looking away from Ye Si.

After Spain defeated Russia, the second knockout match was the one that the Chinese team paid the most attention to. Argentina, third in Group A, faced Lithuania, second in Group B.

One of these two teams must be the possible opponent of the Chinese team in the semi-finals.

If the opponent is Argentina, there is nothing to worry about, but Lithuania...

The Chinese men's basketball team is not very familiar with Lithuania, but Yunasdu is quite familiar with Lithuania.

In Yunus' view, Lithuania is a very difficult team, perhaps the most difficult team for the Chinese team besides the United States.

In the past four Olympic Games, the Chinese men's basketball team has encountered Lithuania every time, and Lithuania has lost all four games. It can be said that Lithuania, the enhanced version of the Greek team in Europe, is a nightmare for the Chinese men's basketball team.

Young Chinese players may not be that familiar with Lithuania, but old players like Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi really grew up abused by Lithuania.

Lithuanian players are not that famous in the world, but in the world, in Europe, the reputation of Lithuania's top four insiders is still very loud.

The twin Lavlinovich brothers, Javskas and Petravius, these four are very tough defensively, and they all shoot well.

Moreover, this team also has a forward line led by excellent offensive and defensive players such as Sisikauskas, Kleiza and Jasedis. Even in the defender position, the opponent that Yes will face is Sarunas. -Jaskovicius, although he is a European, he grew up completely in the United States. He has the aggressive style of American players and the skills of European players. In the 2004 Athens Olympics, he was the one who made Mengliu The team eventually became a sleepwalking team.

Marbury, Iverson, Odom, these well-known names in the NBA were all his supporting roles in the 2004 Olympics.

His performance with the Pacers was not very good under NBA rules.

But according to FBA rules, he is one of the few top defenders in the world who has both American and European styles. He is nicknamed the "European King"!

It can be said that Lithuania is a top team that only needs the whole and the stars. If we say that this team has weaknesses, does it have weaknesses?

Of course there is, the weakness of this team is that it is a little slow.

But such slowness may not be a disadvantage against the Chinese team, especially when this team adopts Greek defensive tactics.

In the match between Lithuania and Argentina, for the Chinese team and Yunus, although Lithuania is his homeland, he definitely hopes that Argentina can win.

But this is just his personal hope.

Argentina's defender Ginobili's performance in this game was quite sluggish. Although Scola is still stable, he is still difficult to beat with four hands. Lithuania's seven players scored in double figures in this game. This is the only exception in international basketball games. Team USA, few teams can play with such integrity in a strong dialogue.

"Ginobili was a little absent-minded in this game, otherwise Argentina would not have no chance."

Looking at Ginobili who seemed to be relieved just now on the TV, Ye Si frowned.

The match between Argentina and Lithuania is over, and the third match is between the United States, the first team in Group B, and the fourth-place German team in Group A.

However, Ye Si cannot watch this game with the Chinese team. He needs to participate in tonight's 5,000-meter final and 200-meter final.

"I'll go out first."

"Brother Ye, drink the water first."

"Come back and drink again."

Looking at Ye Si's back, and then at the steaming cup of boiling water with salt in his hand, Sun Yue finally sighed and put the cup down.

"Brother Ye is too busy at this year's Olympics."

The match between Germany and the United States is the least suspenseful matchup among the four groups today.

For this game, the Chinese team had no expectations. After more than an hour, didn't the American team still advance through a brutal attack?

However, when the game started, all the Chinese players in front of the TV were watching the game with their eyes wide open.

"This is a game between Germany and the United States?!"

"Is this Nowitzki?!"

"Chris Bosh got five fouls from Nowitzki at halftime?!"

"The halftime score was 48 to 46, and the Dream Team only led by 2 points?!"

At the end of the half-time match between Germany and the United States, the players of the Chinese team recovered from the shock.

The players of the Chinese men's basketball team were surprised to find that Ye Si, who had just gone out, had come back. He also looked at the German No. 14 on the TV with shocked eyes like them. They didn't know how long Ye Si had been standing beside them.

Looking at Ye Si standing there, Sun Yue looked at the still steaming glass of salt water next to him and the two new gold medals hanging around Ye Si's neck. Sun Yue's eyes were shocked by Nowitzki. It seemed as if it almost stood out in horror.

"Warm water wins double gold?!"

Warm water wins double gold? !

The other Chinese players, leaders and reporters present looked at the horrified Sun Yue, then at the book of warm water next to Sun Yue, and finally at the two golden gold medals around Ye Si's neck. For a moment, because of Novis The noisy space becomes extremely quiet...

Um?

Yesi looked away from Nowitzki and looked at the people around him, frowning in confusion.

There's nothing wrong with me, right?
