After the confession failed, I went to the NBA to play and lose weight

Chapter 376 The second place in the group, successfully qualified

At 8:18 pm on August 02th, the last game of the men's basketball group stage was against the European powerhouse Greece.

In 05, Greece won the European Championship and created "Greek mythology". In the 06 World Championships, although it lost to the Spanish team, which lacked Canada, and finished runner-up, it must be known that the bronze medal that time was the US team.

Moreover, it happened to be the Greek men's basketball team that eliminated the US team in the semifinals. If it hadn't been sniped by the Spanish team, it would have been a myth to win the championship if it failed in the finals.

This game is undoubtedly a big challenge for the Huaguo men's basketball team. One of the key reasons is that the momentum of the men's basketball team is a bit of a trend of going all out, then declining, and exhausting. At the same time, physical strength is also the same.

Such a schedule of one game every two days is a bit unfriendly to them. You must know that in the NBA regular season, there are still many schedules that are arranged every two days or even three days.

In the last game against the German team, there was actually a bit of this trend. In addition to the opponent's good defense, the outside line was completely inaccurate because of physical strength, which also made them play very difficult. In the end, they had to rely on Li Chengming's touch to break out To win, this is what is forced.

This first half was also the first time that the men's basketball team fell behind in the group stage. It may be that after the first four games, the men's basketball team's various routines have been thoroughly understood. This time the Greek team's defense is particularly targeted, starting from receiving the ball Take strict precautions against Lee becoming famous.

Their personal abilities may all be flawed, but their overall cooperation is very strong. To put it an exaggeration, orders and prohibitions are like a well-trained army.

Whether it is offense or defense, relying on mutual cooperation has caused great trouble for the men's basketball team.

As a result, Jonas chose to give it a go in the second half, allowing Li Chengming to play the entire second half, and specially arranged for him to cover and catch the ball to ensure that he could get a favorable position and get a chance to shoot.

In fact, based on the current situation of the men's basketball team, they have won three of four games and have already confirmed their qualification for the group, so they don't need to fight against the Greek team at all.

But on the one hand, they want to fight for the second place in the group, so that they will be in a more favorable position in the quarter-finals; Fans who come to watch the game.

You must know that because of the results of the men's basketball team this time, there are many fans not only inside the stadium, but also outside the stadium, not to mention the audience watching the game from all over the country.

So since it's a competition, you have to try your best to win it. If you try your best and can't win it, then there's nothing to say.

As long as there is no accident of injury or illness, it is not a big problem to consume a little physical strength.

Li Chengming did not disappoint the coach and teammates. In fact, although Li Chengming scored a high score in the first game against Mengba, he himself felt that his state was getting better and better as the game progressed. of.

The other is the question of adaptability. There are many differences between the international arena and the NBA. Li Chengming did adapt quickly, but he is still a rookie after all, and needs to gradually accumulate experience in the game.

In this scene, there was another small explosion.

"Li Chengming! It's Li Chengming again! Every time the men's basketball team is in crisis, he will stand up and save the team!"

"The third quarter is over. Li Chengming scored another 20 points in the third quarter, and scored 13 points alone in the third quarter, leading the team to overtake the score in the last minute..."

"Li Chengming still didn't end in the fourth quarter, he will play the entire second half!"

"At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the scores of the two sides were criss-crossed. Li Chengming was guarded again, but Dayao stood up. He scored 5 points in a row and helped the team stabilize the situation.

"Now the Greek team has to make a choice. Whether it's Li Chengming or Dayao's side, it's impossible for them to give up one side if they want to hold on to both. But Dayao's condition is also very good today..."

"Beautiful, the men's basketball team has defended against the Greek team's offense twice in a row. If we succeed this time, our lead will reach double digits. In this case, it basically means that this game can be won!"

In the fourth quarter of the game, because Li Chengming was still present and Dayao also came back, although he had three substitutes, Dazhi's personal condition was also good, and the Greek team couldn't stand it.

Their offense can still continue, because the defense of the Huaguo men's basketball team has declined with the naked eye. It is not as tight as the first half, but their offense is easier.

But now the men's basketball team is leading the way, and Li Chengming, Dayao, and Dazhi, no matter where there is a good opportunity on the court, they will first single that point to ensure the success rate.

In fact, if there is an advantage in the position, one-on-one is the best offensive option in the game, but it is difficult to get a full one-on-one opportunity.

But Li Chengming helped Dayao and Da Zhi to open up a little space, allowing them to play more comfortably at this time.

On the contrary, the Greek team's offense stagnated for two rounds and failed to continue, which made the men's basketball team play a fast break, and the point difference further widened.

Then they were anxious again, and the pass was wrong.

This is also their first low-level unforced error in the game. For this highly disciplined team, it can be said to be extremely rare.

It can also be seen to what extent the men's basketball team pushed them and what kind of psychological pressure it caused.

As time continued, although the Greek team scored two three-pointers in the middle and narrowed the point difference a little, when the time entered the last minute and a half, there was still an eight-point gap, which basically declared that The outcome of the match has been decided.

After that, the Greek team wanted to make a gamble, but after sending Sun Dasheng and Liu Wei to the free throw line one after another, they made three of four free throws, and they hadn't rushed to make a three-pointer, so the game was over.

At the end of the game, the men's basketball team defeated the Greek team 97:90 without any risk.

In the group stage, apart from losing to Mengba in the first game, they won a wave of four consecutive victories and directly reached the second place in the group.

这场比赛李成名打满下半场，全场出战全队最多的36分钟，投篮16中9，拿到24分7篮板3助攻。

The Greek team's restrictions on him are in place, at least making his statistics not as beautiful as before, but this makes other teammates stand out.

Li Chengming was also willing to make a wedding dress, and had no intention of stealing the limelight from them.

In fact, to be honest, no one in the men's basketball team can steal his limelight now, even the stars of the Dream Eight team, there are few who can compare with him.

Kobe is one, James barely, but there is still a gap. After all, this is in China, there are many fans of Comey and the Lakers, and James' background is even worse now.

Of course, Houston has the most fans, and almost all of them are Dayao fans. Now Li Chengming also enjoys this level of benefits, and the Magic can also enjoy it.

Li Chengming did not accept an interview after the game, saying that he was too tired.

After all, the schedule is relatively tight, but Li Chengming's recovery ability is very strong, and the impact will not be so great if there is an interval of two days, but this game consumes a lot, and it is also a test for him to play the second half. , he was indeed very tired, and he was not in the mood to deal with reporters.

But now he can be regarded as having such a "privilege". The fans don't take it seriously and let him rest well. No matter what the reporters think in their hearts, they will not express any opinions on the surface.

While Li Chengming was resting, the results of this game were released, because it was still early at the end, and after several hours of deliberation, the "men's basketball team ranked second" was the hottest news in one night.

"The men's basketball team made history, and the Olympic team qualified second. It's really not a dream to compete for medals!"

"Li Chengming played the second half, and he was really tired. At the critical moment, he carried the team forward again. Dayao and the others were relieved, and Li Chengming's burden was heavy again. Fortunately, it was all worth it..."

"That's right, when Li Chengming is tired, Dayao and the others can actually stand up. That's good, this is a team."

"Sun Dasheng: When Cheng Ming first came to the training camp, he told us that he would compete for medals. I thought he was crazy, but I didn't expect him to come for real!"

"Yonas: LI and YAO are our core. We are a team that mainly focuses on the interior. Of course, you have to ask me who is more important. Our twelve players are all important and cannot be separated. The goal this time, of course It's about striving for medals, and it's all for this..."

Even a report for a few seconds was inserted into the news broadcast, which shows that this is an event that has attracted the attention of the whole country.

Of course, everyone's attention will also be on the next opponent.
