My template is really center

Chapter 380 Group B promotion form!
There is no doubt that the US team, which failed to control points, has once again become the team that was ridiculed by the crowd in this Olympic Games!

"Yao, Xu, I really envy you, we will be scolded even for winning!"

The Olympic men's basketball schedule is very dense, but it is not to the extent that the teams are not given time to rest and games are arranged every day.

Therefore, after the first three games, both the Chinese team and the US team got a day off.

Then, McGrady, who has a good relationship with Xu Lang and Yao Ming, took the time to have a meal with the two of them!
Seeing the loveless Mai Di, Xu Lang and Yao Ming looked at each other, and they were also happy!
"You're right. In the first three games, you weren't allowed to play much. Why did the American media start to scold you like crazy!"

It's also funny to say, originally when the old coach K suddenly replaced Michael Reed with McGrady at the last moment of this year, everyone thought McGrady would become a killer of the US team.

As a result, McGrady played a total of 21 minutes in the first three games of the group stage, averaging 7 minutes per game.

In the first game against the Chinese team, McGrady only played more than 5 minutes.

This surprised many people, especially after the US team lost the first game to the Chinese team.

In the next two games, after facing the leading points of the German team and Spain, and being overwhelmed by the Chinese team, the old K coach who did not reuse McGrady was almost scolded as a dog by the United States!

After all, Tracy McGrady, who led the Rockets to easily win the championship with Yao Ming this year, can now be said to be the top guard player in the United States!

Not only that, but even McGrady began to be scolded for not being willing to contribute to the US men's basketball team and deliberately not playing!

"Damn, what do you mean I don't want to contribute? Obviously the coach doesn't let me play, but I want to contribute. I can't just contribute directly off the court!"

Looking at the complaining and speechless McGrady, Xu Lang and Yao Ming felt that this matter was not that simple.

After all, no matter how you say it, McGrady is also the main core part of this year's championship team.Whether it is personal strength or status in the American team, McGrady is not lacking.

At least in this American team, there are very few players who can completely suppress McGrady in these two aspects.

As a result, such a player who can compete for the leader of the US team has been pressed on the bench by the old coach K throughout the group stage.

This is obviously a bit abnormal!
To know McGrady's style of play and offensive habits, it can be said that he is the player in the US team that is relatively most adapted to international basketball.

With the coaching ability of the old coach K, it is impossible not to see the usefulness of McGrady!

Thinking about it this way, when Xu Lang and Yao Ming looked at McGrady who was still complaining, they always felt that this guy was acting.

Then, during the whole meal, McGrady kept complaining to Yao Ming and Xu Lang that Coach K suppressed his playing time in various ways, prevented him from playing well, and basically didn't give him enough respect in terms of tactical status.

It's just that Xu Lang and Yao Ming heard McGrady's more and more outrageous complaints, and they became more and more sure that this guy was acting. …

At the same time, after the two of them had this concept, they immediately became vigilant, guessing whether McGrady came for dinner this time with some kind of mission!

After McGrady had a full meal with Xu Lang and Yao Ming, as soon as he returned to the U.S. team, he was first pulled away by the old coach K and had a chat with him.

No one could hear what he said specifically, but Coach K left with a satisfied smile on his face.

On the other hand, Xu Lang and Yao Ming also brought the information and speculation that McGrady might be the ultimate move of the US team back to the Chinese team with doubts and vigilance.

This made coach Yonas and the coaching staff of the Chinese team form a team overnight, and began to conduct various discussions and plans for the information brought back by Xu Lang and Yao Ming.

Regarding what kind of plan the coaching staff should finally come up with to deal with McGrady, this old K coach may have a killer move.

Xu Lang and Yao Ming don't care, after all, players only need to take care of things on the field.

After a day's rest, the Chinese team and the US team respectively started their last two games in the group stage.

Because the opponents of the Chinese team and the US team in the first three games are each other, and the German team and the Spanish team, so the last two games are against the Greek team and the Angola team!

The Chinese team played the Greek team first and then the Angola team, while the US team played the Angola team first and then the Greek team.

Even before the start of the group stage, it was said that the schedules of these two teams were both lucky and unlucky.

I say lucky because the two teams did not meet the big devils in Group B, the Chinese team and the US team, in the first three games. It is also unfortunate because of this.

If the two teams in the first three games can perform well enough to guarantee their winning percentage, then facing the Chinese team and the US team in the last two group matches is definitely a good thing for the two teams.

After all, with the viciousness of the Chinese team and the American team, if the two teams meet first, it is very likely that the main players of their own team will be beaten without confidence.

But on the contrary, if the records of the two teams in the first three games do not increase, then facing the Chinese team and the US team in the last two games means that they can determine an elimination spot in advance.

And now the Greek team and the Angola team are in extreme states of these two situations.

The first is the Greek team. In the first three games, the Greek team faced Spain, Germany and Angola respectively, and achieved a record of 2 wins and 1 loss.

Three games, two games won, one game narrowly beat the German team by three points, and the game against Angola, the Greek team even won the final game with a double-digit lead.

Even in the game lost to the Spanish team, the Greek team also controlled the score difference between the two teams within 10 points!

Therefore, judging from the current situation of the wins and losses of each team in Group B so far, the Greek team with 2 wins and 1 loss can be regarded as second only to the Chinese team, which has won all three games, and the US team. Tied for second place in the group!
Of course, because of the small score, the Greek team is still behind the US team.

But for the Greek team, it has basically locked in a promotion place in Group B. …

After all, even if they faced the Chinese team and the US team in the last two games, the Greek team lost all of them.

The record of the Greek team in Group B is still 2 wins and 3 losses.

Coupled with the relationship between the lead in some small points and the outcome of the team matchup, it is no problem for the Greek team to at least overwhelm the German team and Angola.

In contrast, the Angola team is a bit miserable. Although the Angola team did not meet the Chinese team and the US team in the first three games, they still failed to win a game.

And the most important thing is that in the first three games, the Angola team lost each game by a score difference of more than double digits.

Therefore, the Angola team is not very dominant in terms of record or score.

And a record of 0 wins and 3 losses means that the last two games will face the Angola team of the Chinese team in the United States, unless both games can be won.

Otherwise, even if it can win a game, the Angola team has already confirmed an elimination spot in Group B!

Just looking at the Chinese and American teams fighting against the Spanish and German teams so viciously!
The Angola team now just wants to say: the concubine can't do it!

As for the other elimination spot in Group B, there is a high probability that it will be claimed by the German team with 1 win and 3 losses.

If the German team has no way to kill the Spanish team in the last game of the group stage, there is no doubt that the German team will automatically become another eliminated team in Group B!

Conversely, if the German team can get rid of the Spanish team in the last game, then it still has the opportunity to slip into the top eight list of this Olympic Games through a small score.

Of course, these have nothing to do with the Chinese team and the US team now!
The Chinese team, which has achieved three victories, has clearly determined a place for promotion.

Similarly, the U.S. team, which has already achieved two wins and one loss, and both of which were won by a big lead, has a high probability of determining a place for advancement.

So for the last two games, the Chinese team and the US team played relatively relaxed and easy.

The first is the Chinese team. The order of the last two games in China's Group B is to play the Greek team first, and then the Angola team.

I have to say that the Greek team, which has achieved 2 wins and 1 loss in the first three games, can't say anything else. It is obvious that they have gained a lot in terms of self-confidence and game toughness.

So when facing the Greek team in this game, the Chinese team did not play so smoothly.

At least not like in the previous two games against Spain and Germany, from the very beginning of the game, you can clearly feel that you can completely suppress the opponent and open the gap between the two teams at will.

In the first quarter of the game between the two teams, the Greek team showed extremely strong game toughness.

Whether it is on the defensive end or on the offensive end, although the Greek team still clearly feels that there is a huge gap in strength between them and the Chinese team.

Whether it was Yao Ming's low-post singles or Xu Lang's personal breakthrough, the Greek team's defense could not stop it.

Conversely, when the Greek team attacked, under the defense of the Chinese team, there was no attack that could be easily shot.

Especially in the defense system composed of Xu Lang, Yi Jianlian, and Sun Yue, the entire Greek team's mid-range and long-range shooting percentage was directly cut in half. …

It forced the Greek team to retreat to the three-point line and throw a three-pointer!
But relying on a lot of tenacity, the Greek team's long-range shooting and offensive efficiency in the first quarter of the game have dropped significantly.

Still withstood the offensive pressure of the Chinese team and controlled the score gap between the two teams!
The reason is also very simple. After the Greek team's medium and long-range shooting was blocked, its offensive success rate in the penalty area and shooting percentage outside the three-point line showed extraordinary performance.

In the first three games, although the Greek team had three points, three points were not its main means of attack.

Therefore, in the first three games, the Greek team averaged 15.3 three-pointers per game, and only averaged about 5 three-pointers per game!

But in this game, the Greek team, which was forced to only fight in the penalty area and outside the three-point line in the first quarter, has already shot 5 three-pointers in the three quarters and hit three of them.

Also relying on these 3 3-pointers, the Greek team was able to slightly stabilize the score gap between the two teams at the end of the first quarter.

It's just that the toughness of the game may indeed produce some strange effects when the strength gap between the two teams is not large.

But when the strength gap between the two teams has already appeared a level difference, the toughness of the game will only make it more and more painful and uncomfortable to play.

After all, knowing that the opponent is very strong, but insisting on fighting with a sigh of relief, the mental pressure it brings is very high.

The Greek team is in this situation now, so in the second quarter, the Greek team still withstood the offensive and defensive pressure of the Chinese team.

But the score gap between the two teams, the Greek team has no way to stabilize it.

At the end of the first quarter, the Greek team was only four points behind, but by the end of the half, the Greek team had fallen behind by 14 points.

And when the game came to the third quarter, after the Chinese team began to habitually exert both internal and external lines, the Greek team was directly beaten and collapsed.

At the end of the three quarters, under the leadership of Xu Lang and Yao Ming, the Chinese team has extended its lead to 25 points.

Obviously this game has entered garbage time again.

In the end, when the Greek team voluntarily surrendered in the fourth quarter, the fourth quarter once again became a carnival time for the substitute lineup!

To be honest, in a total of four games including this game, except for the game against the US team, the Chinese team's substitute lineup did not get much playing time.

In the other three games, the playing time of the Chinese team's substitute lineup is actually not too far behind the starting lineup.

Especially in the center position, in order to save Yao Ming's physical consumption, in the matches against Germany, Spain and Greece, Yao Ming's playing time was controlled below 20 minutes.

And because every time the Chinese team's substitute lineup plays, the Chinese team is in an absolute lead, and has even entered the game into garbage time.

This allowed the Chinese team's substitute lineup to play very relaxed when they played, without any pressure from the game.

With a lot of playing time and no competition pressure, he can fully display his level of strength.

This makes the Chinese team's substitute lineup, in terms of data performance and offensive and defensive efficiency performance in this Olympic Games, no worse than the US team's substitute content.

For example, in this game, Wang Zhizhi, who came off the bench for 25 minutes, scored 21 points and [-] rebounds in a single game.

Moko, who played 18 minutes off the bench, also had 10 points and [-] rebounds.

Of course, not every substitute player of the Chinese team can perform extremely well.

For example, because of Xu Lang, Liu Wei, who played a total of 8 minutes in this game, and Chen Jianghua, who played a total of 7 minutes, only scored 2 points and 3 assists and 4 points and [-] assists.

Of course, Liu Wei and Chen Jianghua cannot be blamed for this. After all, the position of point guard is not a big core of data. In addition, the two teams have not played too much time. It is already considered good to have this data performance in the end!

It's just that the Chinese team's substitute is playing well, but the Greek team is miserable.

Originally thought that the Chinese team started off and the Greek team was able to recover a little bit of the score. At the end of the game, they were beaten by a score gap of 31 and lost the game!
