After winning the game against the Spanish team, the Huaxia team can be said to breathe a sigh of relief.Although their announced goal this year is the quarterfinals, the goal the team has set for themselves is the semifinals.
This goal is not the result of anyone's head-slapping decision, but a serious study of the current situation of the team and a real discussion.
After Li Chongxiao and Yao Ming joined the national team, the coaching staff became more motivated.For teams other than the US team, one superstar can make a qualitative leap in the team's strength, let alone the Huaxia team has two.
One of the reasons for announcing the quarter-finals was that they were afraid.There is another ball game next door. Every time before the expedition, the cowhide is blown loudly, and at the end it is always inevitable to end with a bow and apology.
Another reason is that the Huaxia team is not sure that they can win the Spanish team. If they fall to third or No.4, they will face another strong team in the group, Lithuania or Argentina, and they are not easy to deal with.
Now they have won the game against Spain with a big score, which proves that the Huaxia men's basketball team not only has the strength to enter the semi-finals, but may even win a medal.
The enthusiasm of all the players was mobilized at once. As an athlete, you will have some sense of honor. Now that you have the opportunity to write your name into the history of the development of the Huaxia Men's Basketball Team, how can everyone not be excited?
……
On August 8th, the Huaxia team played against Angola. Li Chongxiao and Yao Ming scored 14 points together. After two and a half quarters, they happily rested.
The players who had attended an ideological mobilization class also seemed to have been beaten to death. Amidst waves of cheers and cheers from the audience, they played more and more vigorously.
In the first half, the "smart combination", one inside and one outside, wreaked havoc on Angola's basket from different angles, leading the team to a 57-point lead at halftime 32:25.
After playing for a while in the second half, the Huaxia team led by more than 30 points. Li Chongxiao and Yao Ming took a rest, and watched their teammates show no mercy as they continued to expand the score.
The final score was fixed at 118:61, and Yi Jianlian became the Chinese player with the most points in this game, scoring 27 points.
The US team won the last game by 67 points, and this time they lost to the Huaxia team by 53 points. When the Angola players left the field, they felt their souls were taken away.
After winning the third game, the Huaxia team scored 4 points in the group, second only to the undefeated American team and ranked second in the group.
The next game is to face the German team led by Nowitzki. Like the Huaxia team, they also rely on superstars to lead the team to win.
Nowitzki made 8 of 7 shots in the first quarter and scored 16 points, blowing out Yi Jianlian who was facing him.But this kind of performance can only delay the time for the team to lose.
In the first quarter, Li Chongxiao easily scored 14 points, and the Huaxia team only led by 3 points.In the second quarter, Yao Ming broke out. In addition to 7 of 7 in a single quarter, he also caused two fouls by Chris Kaman and one foul by Nowitzki, and scored 17 points.
In this quarter, the Huaxia team changed their strategy and added Nowitzki's help defense. As a result, he only made 7 of 3 shots, which greatly reduced his efficiency.The Huaxia team took advantage of the trend to open the point difference to 14 points.
Facing the Huaxia team with three NBA starters, the German team's resistance lasted until the beginning of the fourth quarter, and was overwhelmed by Li Chongxiao's three consecutive three-pointers. The 3-point difference never narrowed and remained until the end.
After winning this game and achieving three consecutive victories, the Huaxia team has ensured that they can enter the top 8.
Most Huaxia basketball fans are very confident that the national team can enter the quarterfinals, but they did not expect that the whole process went as smoothly as a dream.
After winning the German team, in addition to celebrating and cheering posts on some forums, the hottest topic was "When did we become so strong?"
In history, the Huaxia team has only entered the top eight of the Olympic Games twice. Each time, it took a lot of effort to win all kinds of thrills. Who knew that after four years, the team completed it easily. achieved goals.
Most of the easy-to-satisfy fans are still immersed in the vested glory, and the fans who think a little further have quietly longed for a more distant scenery.
In the last game of the group stage, the Huaxia team went all out and won the Greek team 106:76.
At the press conference after the game, some reporters began to look forward to the semi-finals.According to the match rules, the Huaxia team's opponent in the quarter-finals will be the Croatian team.
This team is not easy to deal with, but it will be easier than against Lithuania and Argentina.
Li Chongxiao said with a smile: "For the glory of the semi-finals, we can only say that we will wholeheartedly and try our best to fight for the glory of the semi-finals, and we can't guarantee more."
……
On August 8, the quarter-finals will start with the match between China and Croatia.
Although the opponent is not a traditional powerhouse, every team that has entered the quarterfinals is not easy to play.Many fans were really sweating for the national team before the game.
The rhythm was the same at the beginning of the game. Although the Croatian team did not have superstars, the team's overall lineup was good, relying on cooperation to play inextricably with the Huaxia team.
After losing to the U.S. team, winning the Spanish team relieved the tension of the domestic players. In the next few games, everyone played more and more relaxed, so Li Chongxiao and Yao Ming were also happy and relaxed, and their scores in each game dropped. Drop again.
But in this game of eight to four, maybe they felt the pressure of the fans all over the country, and the teammates were a little nervous again.
In the first quarter of the game, Li Chongxiao tried his best to drive his teammates, but it didn't have much effect.
During the break during the festival, Jonas mobilized for a long time, but after his teammates came on the field, they still couldn't let go.
In the first half of the game, the Huaxia team fell behind 45:51.
This made the fans who were in high spirits before the game feel anxious.Several commentators were also weak, wondering if they were blindly optimistic.
During the half-time break, Yunus saw the situation and threw away the tactical board directly, not playing any tactical coordination.There is only one tactic in the second half, to hit the giant planet.
The ball was handed over to Li Chongxiao as soon as halftime passed. He was in the position of a defender and had absolute power over the distribution of the ball.
The situation on the field is not very good, Li Chongxiao's first thought is to turn the score first, and then make other considerations.
He took the ball and shot it. After hitting three consecutive shots, he was full of confidence. He caught the ball and crossed the half court.
The Croatian team called two timeouts in a row, and there was no way to contain the attack, allowing him to complete the overtake on the score alone.
After the third quarter, relying on Li Chongxiao's 20 points in a single quarter, the Huaxia team led by 72 points 68:4.
In the fourth quarter, the protagonist of the game became Yao Ming again. He is at the peak of his career, and he doesn't need to be afraid to face any inside player in the world.
Croatia's heavy troops ambushed on the outside, giving Yao Ming too much room to operate inside. Under one-on-one defense, the basket was like the sea.
Faced with the two superstars inside and outside, the Croatian team has nothing to do.Their idea of counting on a confrontation was also sniped by the Huaxia team.
Seeing other players recovering, Jonas initiated mobilization not to attack, but to ask everyone to work together to make contributions on the defensive end and protect the fruits of victory.
In the fourth quarter, the intensity of the game suddenly increased, which made the Croatian team a little messed up, unable to attack or defend, and finally ended dismal, losing by 14 points.
