Basketball starts with breathing

Chapter 346 What are they shouting before the final victory?
Lu Yu had to let Marbury take over. Of all the people here, only Marbury was the easiest to take over.

Sure enough, there was a fierce look in Marbury's eyes.

break through, throw,
Not in.

In the counterattack, Lu Yu was strong inside, but Duncan had no choice but to attack and accompany the foul.

Everyone found out,

When Lu Yu began to show his power at the last moment, there was no stopping him.

Team USA coach Brown sighed helplessly.

He suddenly realized that he had lost his way.

If the U.S. team pulled the score from the beginning, perhaps now the Chinese team, no matter how powerful Lu Yu is, would not be able to lead the team to counterattack.

But the game was dragged into a stalemate until the last minute of the game.

At this time, who can have the finishing ability like Lu Yu?
Maybe no one but Jordan.

In 13 seconds, the US team trailed by three points!
The U.S. team desperately wanted to fight for a three-pointer. The Chinese team did not give the opponent a chance to make a three-pointer and let the opponent go inside.

The forced Marbury dribbled the ball into the inside.

Lu Yu, who had just switched out, could only make up for it.

At this time,

Marbury jumped high.

Everyone thought he was laying up, but he just lifted his big foot.

Lu Yu made up for it, so he didn't see Marbury's action at all.

When this kick hit the chest heavily.

He felt a throbbing pain in his chest.

Damn!

Get on the horse!

Lu Yu was lying on the ground, and before he got up, he saw that Zhu Fangyu had already punched Marbury in the face.

Immediately after the Chinese players rushed into the field, chasing Marbury all over the field.

"It's over!" This thought kept circling in his mind.

Zhu Fangyu, are you stupid!

Even if you win the game, you can't even play on the field!

Do you understand the sap?
Marbury lost the game and wanted to vent, but he happened to be unlucky.

Whoever made himself deliberately anger the opponent from the beginning, of course, Lu Yu angered Marbury in order to win the game.

But now... it's a fight,
I really don't know if I'm right or wrong.

The Chinese team won the U.S. team, but the Chinese fans did not feel the slightest joy.

"The Chinese men's basketball team won the American men's basketball team by four points."

"Marbury: I didn't mean to."

"Lu Yu withdrew from the Olympics with a rib injury, and the future of the Chinese men's basketball team is uncertain."

"Harris admitted that there was a problem with the tactical arrangement and took all the blame for the loss."

No one thought that Harris would take the initiative to take all the responsibilities. Faced with a reporter's interview, he admitted that the excessive use of three players, Lu Yu, Yao Ming, Wang Zhizhi, was the main reason for the final conflict. There was a mistake, and he took the initiative to admit that he made the decision to win Serbia and Montenegro that the Chinese team would face the lack of physical strength of the American players in the quarter-finals. When the players have physical problems, they will inevitably lose concentration. In the face of Marbury's sneak attack, no one could remind him in time that he was willing to take all the responsibilities.

There are always people who want to take the blame in fights, and Harris took the initiative to stand up and move all the Chinese players.

After the fans learned that Lu Yu was injured and retired from the Olympics, they cursed Marbury one after another. If it wasn't for his kick, Lu Yu would not have been injured.

Among the Chinese men's basketball players who participated in the fight, two were suspended, namely Zhu Fangyu and Yi Jianlian.

The Chinese delegation also lodged a complaint with the Olympic Organizing Committee, because it was because Marbury kicked someone first that the Chinese team members were angry.

Finally, the Olympic Organizing Committee suspended Marbury.

It is a pity that this result cannot change the predicament of the Chinese men's basketball team.

In the training hall, the players of the Chinese men's basketball team were not in high spirits.

The core was injured and the players were suspended.

The next game is the semi-final against Argentina, which casts a shadow over the Chinese team's Olympic journey.

Unconsciously, everyone's expectations for this Chinese men's basketball team have become higher, including the men's basketball players themselves.

No one thought that when they came, the goal was to enter the quarterfinals.

Sure enough, in the subsequent game against Argentina, the missing Chinese men's basketball team lost 78 to 84 to Argentina and could not advance to the final.

The next game is the last game of the Chinese men's basketball team in this Olympic Games.

Lu Yu sat on the sidelines, his sternum was still very sore, and the recovery time is expected to take two weeks, and the last game of the Chinese team is just two days later, so it is also doomed that he has withdrawn from the Olympics.

He saw that the teammates were not in a high mood during training, and he could probably guess what the teammates were thinking.

It's a pity that I was careless, if I didn't get hurt.

The Chinese men's basketball team will not lose to Argentina.

I didn't see Ginobili's face blooming after knowing that he was injured.

A careful analysis of the lineup of the Chinese men's basketball team shows that this lineup has a lot of flaws. At this time, Yi Jianlian is still too young, and the situation of insiders is too serious. One team can't wait to bring five insiders. The flanks are weak, Zhu Fangyu and Li Nan's two strikers can't support the defense in the backcourt, the bench lineup is equivalent to the five scumbags, let alone the US men's basketball team, the [-] teams participating in the Olympic Games, any team's bench is better than China's Men's basketball is a lot stronger.

In the five games of the group stage, apart from Lu Yu's powerful harvesting ability, what really crushed the opponent was some tricky tactics.

Although cleverness is also a kind of tactics, and the tactics are properly arranged, the strength of the team can be greatly improved, but there is a saying that one force can break through ten meetings. Can you pass the risk like this year?
The Dream Eight Team is indeed arrogant.

The American team will lose to the European and American teams, because the physical quality of the players of the European and American teams is not inferior to them. With the addition of FIBA ​​rules, the American team can be restricted on the defensive end.

Especially a team with strong integrity like Argentina and Lithuania.

But only for this American team.

If it is the Dream Eight Team after four years, Argentina will be the younger brother.

But Lu Yu is confident that if they meet the American team again in four years, the Chinese team will be able to fight.

Because Yao Ming is still far from his peak at this time, he is only a second-year rookie in the NBA, Wang Zhizhi's strength is not bad, but he obviously can't support the power forward position of the Chinese team, Yi Jianlian is still very young, even playing There is not much time, Zhu Fangyu is not calm enough, the talents at shooting guard and point guard are stretched, and the strength of the bench is too weak. These are the current problems of this Chinese men's basketball team. After four years, these will be solved to some extent. .

Four years later, the Chinese men's basketball team really rose.

Think about it carefully. Compared with European and American basketball, Chinese basketball is more like a child who has just learned to walk. Are your expectations a little too high?
Lu Yu took a deep breath and glanced around the training hall, but did not see Harris.

"How is your injury?" Yao Ming came over and asked.

"It's okay, much better." Lu Yu smiled: "By the way, where's Coach Harris?"

"Huh?" Yao Ming paused, "Let's go to the meeting, someone has to take the blame for losing, let alone someone who had a chance to make it to the final, but now he has lost the game."

The opponent in the competition for the third and fourth place is the Lithuania team. Can the Chinese men's basketball team without Lu Yu be able to beat Lithuania?
Yao Ming glanced worriedly at the players on the court, and everyone's emotions had obviously fallen to the bottom.

"yes……"

Lu Yu said lightly, "Dayao, help me get up."

"it is good."

Yao Ming pulled Lu Yu up and helped him to the court.

"Everyone, stop." Lu Yu suddenly shouted: "Since you don't want to practice, why don't you take a break and chat."

Zhu Fangyu was shooting, and the basketball that was raised above his head was there.

Yi Jianlian also stopped dribbling training.

Wang Zhizhi glanced at Lu Yu and seemed to have guessed something.

"We lost the game, everyone felt lost and blamed themselves, because we have been winning and losing to Argentina, everyone must be unconvinced, right?" Lu Yu's voice was not loud, but everyone could hear it in the quiet arena Clearly.

"Some people might think that if it wasn't for my injury, if it wasn't for the suspension, we wouldn't have lost, but without three players we couldn't win against Argentina and that's the truth."

"Do you know who is the most unlucky one?"

"It's Harris!"

"He took all the responsibilities in order to let our players know what it's like to win and let our players have tenacity and determination. We could have chosen to lose to Serbia and Montenegro, so that we would have enough physical strength to face the United States. The team, it's Coach Harris, he asked us to play the basketball game we wanted to play, we played the game, we were happy when we won, and we were depressed when we lost. When you are depressed, think of Coach Harris."

"He took all the responsibilities, he would be scolded by fans across the country, he would be questioned by the leaders of the delegation, and he would become the first foreign teacher to fail in the history of Chinese basketball."

"But think about it, everyone, did he fail?"

"The Chinese team has entered the semi-finals, and entered the quarter-finals as the first place in the group. No coach has been able to do this, but he has taken the responsibility for all losses. The ball gets frustrated and says we can't, and what Harris took on is all in vain!"

There was silence in the arena.

Everyone was suffocating in their hearts. It is not terrible to lose. What is terrible is to lose the tenacity that belongs to the Chinese men's basketball team.

"Lu Yu, tell me what to do!" Zhu Fangyu was the first to stand up.

"Yes, everyone listens to you." Li Nan also stood up.

"Let's go and make a statement with the regiment, Harris is not responsible." Wang Zhizhi said in a deep voice.

Everyone made up their minds together that they would do anything as long as they could keep Coach Harris.

With a serious expression, Lu Yu said solemnly, "Winning Lithuania is just like we beat Serbia and Montenegro!"

"Anyway, take a medal and go home!"

On August 8, the last game of the Chinese men's basketball team at the Olympic Games, the bronze medal match, the Chinese men's basketball team VS Lithuania men's basketball team.

Because of the loss to Argentina, many fans began to scold Harris.

"Has Harris has a hole in his head, why did he want to win the Serbia and Montenegro!"

"I'm not looking at the results of the group's complete victory."

"Rats are short-sighted, and they are not shallow."

"One is an honor that is in sight, and the other is an intangible honor. Which do you think he will take?"

"When I lost to the U.S. team, I felt that he was a bad coach. How could he use the main force to the death."

"It can't be said that the Chinese team actually played well." There are some sensible people among the fans: "Besides, the choice of the game in the group stage must be a joint decision of the team, and the responsibility cannot be placed on the coach."

"This person is a sailor..."

"How much Harris gives you, I'll give you double."

People who understand can’t say much, because sometimes fans only see the win or loss of the game, and few really analyze the reasons, not to mention that Harris values ​​the illusory things of players’ spirits, fans are more Impossible to know.

On the eve of the bronze medal competition, an uninvited guest came to Lu Yu's room.

Suddenly a head popped out of the door of the room, and Lu Yu was bored when he saw it at a glance, "Su Qun, why are you here?"

Su Qun smiled awkwardly: "I originally wanted to come to interview Lu Yu's injury, but when I came, I ran into the bus of the Chinese men's basketball team. Yao Ming told me that Lu Yu was still at the Olympic Village, so I caught up with him. coming."

"As for the injury, you can ask the team doctor." Lu Yu smiled.

The team doctor has also finished the examination. In fact, Lu Yu's injury is not serious, but he must not play the game.

Su Qun breathed a sigh of relief when he learned about it, but he was helpless when he thought that Lu Yu's injury forced the Chinese men's basketball team, who could have won gold, to compete for the bronze medal.

"By the way, Su Qun, I want to ask you for help with something." Lu Yu said suddenly.

"What's the matter?" Su Qun was stunned.

Lu Yu said, "Can you write a report for me? About Coach Harris."

"Huh?" Su Qun was stunned, knowing that Harris was not lightly scolded: "What are you going to write?"

"So, did you drive here? Let's talk while walking on the way to the competition." Lu Yu said.

"it is good."

When they drove to the competition venue, Su Qun heard another version of the story about Coach Harris that was unknown from Lu Yu, and he promised Lu Yu that he would write the report truthfully.

After they entered the arena, the game was playing inextricably.

After Yao Ming received a pass from Liu Wei in the interior, he turned his back and squeezed into the interior, and turned around to make a hook, and the soft touch easily threw the ball in.

……

Standing outside the three-point line, Wang Zhizhi raised his hand to score a three-pointer.

……

Zhu Fangyu threw off the defender and cut to the basket to score two plus one.

……

Sun Yiping, who was in charge of the commentary, said excitedly: "The Chinese men's basketball team played very hard in this game, and the Lithuania team did not react for a while. Seeing that the Chinese team after losing the game has not lost the spirit of the Chinese team, let's cheer for the Chinese men's basketball team!"

The Lithuanian team fought back immediately after experiencing the initial discomfort.

Harris called a timeout just in time.

He didn't set up tactics, but said when the players got together: "Everyone played well, I'm proud of you, and continue to play like this. Whether you win or lose, you are the best players in my heart."

Different from the previous reprimands, Harris showed a satisfied smile at the corner of his mouth at this time.

"Coach, don't worry, we will definitely win this game!" Yao Ming said.

"Yes! We must win."

"The Chinese team must win!"

"Definitely! Come on!"

All the players shouted in unison, causing the players of the Lithuania team not far away to look at them - what did they shout before the final match?
