basketball never sleeps

Chapter 57 The bullies are honest people!
In Chinese men's big ball sports, the wait for a medal is too long.

Men's football, men's basketball, and men's volleyball, as if there is a magic spell, a lot of resources have been invested but no splash has been seen.

Reaching the semi-finals is the dream of many athletes and fans.

Not surprisingly, the covers of all the newspapers in the morning of the next day turned into China Red, and Yangma's Zhaowen Tianxia gave a full 5 minutes to tell about this great achievement.

All the posters for the Chinese team's expedition were out of stock. Almost every boy in the school was discussing basketball, whether they knew basketball or those who didn't.

"Well, obviously football is the biggest ball in the world, why are you all talking about basketball?" A curious girl stepped forward and asked.

"Is there football in the Olympics?" A boy scratched his head.

"I don't know, I haven't seen the Chinese team participate anyway." Another boy showed his erudition. (Actually entered once in 88)
In the gymnasium of the Olympic Village, after smiling and rejecting the little note from the female athlete who doesn’t know the country, Dayao finally couldn’t help but tease Mo Wen.

"You guys are really popular. You are cruel to reject so many girls' good intentions."

Those who come to participate in the Olympics are all young people who are full of vigor. In addition to the competitive pressure of the competition, a place as big as the Olympic Village has no place to vent | energy, so that kind of thing is very common in the Olympics, such as Mo Wen. Those who are still handsome in grades will naturally become popular.

But Mo Wen was not sexually interested in this group of girls with strange looks and figures, he just raised his eyelids and said coldly.

"If you talk too much, believe it or not, I'll take the note and give it to Sister Ye later."

"Huh? What are you doing to her—hiss! I take back what I just said, you kid is so poisonous!"

Getting up from the rowing chair, Mo Wen spoke lightly while doing a simple stretch.

"For the past two days, don't see Sister Ye. Practice more. I also asked Harris to put away all the cell phones in the team. In the morning, my agent called me. The price is so high that he can't refuse, and there are some domestic endorsements... I guess the rest of our team will soon."

Dayao nodded, indicating that he had also received a similar call, but his manager was sensible and did not tell him the specific amount.

"There are two more rounds, and I have to win the next one anyway-I don't like to get off the plane through the back hatch."

Dayao kicked Mo Wen's ass.

"You bastard, girl, just don't lose the chain at the critical moment."

······
After the Chinese team advanced to the semi-finals, Argentina, Italy and the dream team also qualified.

This is another extremely embarrassing situation. Three of the top four men's basketball teams are from Group A, so how did the Dream Six team fall to fourth in Group B?

In the semi-finals, the Chinese team played against Italy, and the Dream Six team played against Argentina.

On August 8, the semi-finals of the men's basketball team started.

The Chinese team, which thought they could reproduce the victory in the group stage, was sniped mercilessly by the referee. FIBA's rules - no need to watch the video for the penalty, and there are only two referees on the field. Players can't question it, only the coach can express his opinion.

The two referees are native European referees, and there is no need to worry about face when there is only one Italian seedling left in Europe.

After the Italian players discovered that they had obvious biases, they also adjusted their style of play and began to play various games.

Dayao, Moke, and Ah Lian were blown off by full fouls one after another. Mo Wen would also be blown off the whistle if he made a little bigger move on the outside. He was so angry that he thought that these two referees would come up with two "Lushan Shenglongquan" .

This situation is no longer a problem that can be solved by strength. Things like black whistle exist objectively, and there is nothing you can do about it.

Harris put a gag order on the men's basketball team after Dayao "roared", but Dayao still couldn't help but sprayed in front of his own reporters.

"Go to hell with those two referees, those two bastards ruined all our efforts, we don't welcome them to BJ in the 2008 Olympics!!"

"The minimum fairness cannot be guaranteed, so what about sportsmanship and Olympic spirit!"

Mo Wen drank water sullenly in the locker room, "All the crows in the world are as black", how can you say that Bangzi blacked Italy that year, it doesn't mean that Italy is a clean white lotus in the sports world.

Black whistle, they couldn't resist, and even appealing later would probably not have any results, but Qiu Mowen wrote it down. (In the original history, the men's basketball team was blown away by the black whistle)

Mo Wen usually does not take revenge overnight, if there is an overnight revenge, then double the revenge!
On the other side, Stern, who felt a little uneasy, came to the semi-finals to supervise the battle in person.

The first quarter was not bad, the Dream Six team drew with Argentina.

Then in the second quarter, after Larry Brown arranged for James to play under the persuasion of the crowd, the accident happened.

beep-

beep-

The little emperor advanced 5 times with the ball and walked 3 times, which made the president on the sidelines stunned.

No, kid, be sober, Europe is dominated by Adidas, Nike and godfather can't help you!

Unlike 077's old fritters whose dribble steps can be seamlessly switched between NBA and FIBA, James is still a little tender now (of course it does not mean that he will not leave when he matures, but that he later learned to push forward The task was handed over to Wade).

When James finally made a three-pointer, the score on the court had reached 38:44, and the 6-point difference continued until the end of the game.

In the second half, Ginobili entered the "Jordan time" as soon as he came up. He led Argentina to beat the Dream Team 15:4. Vicky shook his head with love and hate.

Marbury and Iverson were in a hurry, regardless of Larry Brown who was dancing on the sidelines, a counter-push fast break finally brought the point difference back to 10 points.

But in the middle of the fourth quarter, Duncan was sent off, and the high morale of the Argentine team kept the point difference to the end and won the game.

Stern took out a small bottle from his arms and poured out two pills. He felt that his current state was very dangerous.

Larry Brown sat on the sidelines, pursed his lips, his eyes were dull, just like Mrs. Xianglin——

I'm so stupid, really, when I was an assistant coach in 02, I knew that the dream team would lose dominance, and the game might be difficult to play, but I didn't expect it to be difficult...

The members of the Chinese team who were watching TV in the lounge were a little disappointed to see that the dream team did not win the game.

They still feel that Argentina is better.

If the whistle of the last game was not so black and they advanced, then facing Argentina now...
Unfortunately, there is no such thing.

"Don't be sullen, they're not that strong. Besides, look, the guys from the Ugly Country team don't even have whistles. Duncan played this game for less than 20 minutes, hehe."

"In the next game, we will stare at Duncan like Argentina and try to get him off the field. You two, Moko and Ah Lian, may have to sacrifice more, help Yao do more dirty work, block the whistle, and wait for Duncan to end. The rest of their internal packages are not enough for Yao to play alone."

"Think about it, is there anything more glorious than stepping on the Dream Six team to get a card?"

Bewitched by Mo Wen, the Chinese players also quickly regained their fighting spirit, which seemed to be the case after thinking about it.

Only Duncan can stand up to Dayao in the Dream Six team, and it is Duncan who can bring the greatest threat to Dayao, but Duncan enjoys more whistles than Dayao. The Ugly Team’s perimeter has been proved in many games , They don't have a basket, as long as we pay attention, protect Dayao well, and at the same time beat Duncan down as soon as possible, this game will really have a head.

On August 8, the last day of the Olympic Games, the men's basketball bronze medal battle started in Athens.

Stern did not come to supervise the battle again, because in his opinion, no matter how badly the Dream Six team played, they would not lose to the Chinese team.

The talent of the Chinese team is there. Mo Wen and Dayao are both very good players, but just the two of them and a bunch of mediocre players want to hit the dream team-don't be kidding, okay?

He had heard before that when the Chinese team was training in Long Beach, they were "slaughtered" for 20 points in a game against the Dream Six.

The bronze medal is fine, although it's embarrassing enough.

US team starting: Iverson, Marbury, Jefferson, Odom, Duncan.

Chinese team starting: Mo Wen, Liu Wei, Li Nan, Yi Jianlian, Yao Ming.

During the warm-up, Mo Wen approached Jefferson with a smile on his face.

"Long time no see, Richard (Jefferson), hey, why do your feet look a little dull?"

breathe--

Jefferson took a big breath, suppressed the impulse in his heart, and pulled a slightly stiff smile on his face.

"It's nothing, it's just twisted a while ago, it was closed, and now I can still play."

But after speaking, Jefferson regretted it, how could he tell the story of himself being closed!
"Blocking? Tsk tsk tsk, is it worth it for an Olympics?"

Mo Wen smacked his lips and shook his head. Closure is not friendly to athletes like them. If they fail, it may cost their future career.

But there was no way. At that time, the entry list had already been submitted. He was the only one of the three small forwards of the Ugly Country team who was an old man, and Wade and Marbury didn't seem to be able to stand up in terms of points.

Larry Brown's group of coaches, the Ugly National Basketball Association and even Stern all came out, threatening to make Jefferson play closed, and then play again. He is just a player, so what can he do?

No wonder, don't be stupid, Bowen is still alive and well even with the video, not to mention Jefferson did it first.

In short, it is regret, very regret.

Jefferson happened to be in the contract year, and he was expecting to fight for a ten-million contract in the new season. Now, it is conservatively estimated that he will be absent for two months in the new season.

He didn't dare to hold grudges against Mo Wen, whose combat prowess was beyond the charts, and he didn't dare to hold grudges against Stern, a big Jewish man. The only people Jefferson could hate were Larry Brown and Popovich.

After the game started, Dayao picked up the basketball in his dazed hands, and Mo Wen pushed forward with the ball. Seeing Jefferson standing in front of him again, Mo Wen couldn't help laughing.

"It's you guarding me again, do you have any grudge against Larry and Bobo?"

"I don't know, maybe."

In the 6 playoff games, plus last month's friendly match, his injuries became more serious each time, and he felt a little PTSD facing Mo Wen at this moment.

He is already considering whether to play a few balls so that the coaching staff can quickly replace him.

It's a shame to be ashamed. Anyway, an Olympic bronze medal is rare.

The Chinese team pulled away, and Mo Wen tried to dribble the ball back and forth with the ball in the high position.

Jefferson watched Mo Wen's movements seriously, thinking whether to take two steps back.

Just like a teacher catching a student's distraction, Mo Wen caught Jefferson's trance moment, started the cross step, and slipped towards Jefferson's injured right foot in front.

Jefferson took half a step back and twisted his hips half a second late, and almost failed to keep up. He leaned sideways and barely blocked Mo Wen with his long arms.

Mo Wen, who had expected this for a long time, pressed the ball with his left hand and slapped the ball behind him, leaned on Jefferson and turned around with a roller, grabbed the ball and turned around to throw off his defense, and rushed towards the inside line guarded by Duncan .

Duncan with a high golf quotient felt that Mo Wen would not be so stupid to challenge himself, so he moved half a step, trying to block Yao Ming's advancing position on the side.

After Mo Wen passed the free throw line, he took a big stride and reached his shoulders to catch the ball. He raised his arm towards Dayao's defense line as if he was going to pass the ball to him. He dodged Duncan's defensive envelope with a jump, jumped to the other side, took off with one foot and hit an empty basket.

"Another Manu?"

Duncan probably knew what was going on when he lost his defensive target.

In the last game, Ginobili used this European step to shake the inside of the goal to death. How did he meet him in this game? !

"So smooth!"

Off the court, Wade clenched his fists. He has been practicing this trick recently, but the rhythm and fluency are far worse than Mo Wen's.

Players on the field have no time to hesitate, and FIBA's offense does not stop until the fourth quarter.

Duncan gave Marbury a free throw. Marbury took the ball and glanced at Mo Wen who was defending him. He had no interest in singles and passed it to Iverson.

Iverson looked at Liu Wei who let him take a step and a half, feinted, pulled up and shot.

Liu Wei failed to interfere in time, but fortunately, Iverson's touch was mediocre, and he shot hard.

After settling down, Mo Wen chose to repeat the old tricks again, and it was still Jefferson's sick foot, just to take advantage of your illness to kill you. The basketball court is like a battlefield, not a place to talk about martial arts.

Although Jefferson protected his injured foot by changing his defensive stance sideways, Mo Wen's offensive feint still made him full.

When Mo Wen turned back with the ball, Jefferson thought he was going to turn around and break through to the other side, but he didn't expect that Mo Wen's shoulder hit him the next moment.

Jefferson drew the air in the air, tightened his core and barely avoided the end of the toppling, but at this time Mo Wen broke into the inside line again.

Seeing Mo Wen's one-two-three-four pace again, Duncan didn't do what he did in the previous round, but moved sideways to the basket to interfere.

But Mo Wen suddenly stopped the car, and in front of Duncan's raised hands, he used a standard shooting method to make a high arc shot.

The waves churned and Mo Wen hit again.

"Team him, increase strength!"

Larry Brown was beaten 4-0 when he came up, and he couldn't sit still, standing on the sidelines and shouting impatiently.

Turning around, Iverson singled out Liu Wei, and after breaking through, he used a lever to bypass Yi Jianlian's defense under the basket and successfully hit.

4:2
When Mo Wen broke through with the ball again, he was assisted by Marbury.

It's just two people's double-teaming, don't panic, he made a sideways pass to Yao Ming at the two-point mark, fooled Yao Ming, and also fooled the two defenders in front of him.

By the time Marbury realized he had been tricked and turned around, Mo Wen had already completed his take-off and shot.

The long two-pointer was a bit off and hit the basket, but it didn't matter. Dayao, who slipped over from the baseline, took off slightly and shot the basketball into the basket before Duncan's interference.

No one expected that the Chinese team could continue to take the lead in the opening game.

And this lead continued until the end of the first quarter.

The Chinese team 25:21 ugly national team.

Of course, leading by 4 points is not good news. The good news is that under Mo Wen's continuous drive to the basket, Duncan received two fouls in the first quarter.

When Mo Wen was in the NBA, he didn't like to use the breakthrough style of play very much because he was afraid of injuries.

No matter how tough he is, flying in the air, he may be overshadowed by those center forwards.

But if it is the inside line of Duncan and Odom, he not only has the courage, but also is very big!

Those who bully are honest people!
In the second quarter, Mo Wen rested for 3 minutes, and Dayao continued to play hard inside, only allowing the Dream Six team to recover 2 points. After returning, Mo Wen took 2 minutes to open the point difference to 4 points.

Larry Brown and Popovich finally couldn't stand Jefferson's defense and replaced him, but the Anthony they chose to replace was not as defensive as Jefferson.

Anthony just complained about Jefferson's defensiveness off the court just now, but after he got on the court, he couldn't even find the ball anywhere.

Melon, who is serious about defending, can keep up with Mo Wen, but his "beaten" experience is not as good as James.

Mo Wen made a dark elbow, and he fell to the ground with an ah.

Melon, who thought he could make Mo Wen an offensive foul, was ruthlessly whistled by the referee.

"Don't pretend to be a kid, do you think I can't see that you are diving!" The referee gave Anthony a technical foul without saying a word.

How could Anthony get used to him, he got up and pointed at Mo Wen and his nose to scold him.

beep-

The referee actually repeated the action of the technical foul, then stretched out his hand and made a "V", a second technical foul, and was directly expelled.

Mo Wen next to him opened his mouth wide in shock, Anthony Tiger is a real tiger, unexpectedly the referee is also Bao Qingtian!
Larry Brown was still thinking about whether to replace Anthony one second, and the referee made the decision for him in the next second.

　I'm sorry, brothers broke their promises, and suddenly found that the 5K chapter can't finish the Olympic chapter, and there is probably a small chapter of 3K content. Well, continue tomorrow morning, and the Olympic chapter will definitely be completed tomorrow.
