Chapter 192 Dude, Go Play Streetball

On September 2000, 9, the men's basketball quarter-finals of the Sydney Olympic Games kicked off. The US team ranked first in Group A will face the Russian team ranked fourth in Group B. Lithuania, ranked second in Group A, will face B. Yugoslavia, ranked third in Group A, China, ranked third in Group A, will face the host Australia, ranked second in Group B, and France, ranked fourth in Group A, will face Brazil, ranked first in Group B. Lost to the US team in the last round, but because the Chinese team defeated the Italian team, the French team finally broke into the top 28.

At 6:[-] p.m., the Sydney Olympic Basketball Stadium, because it is Australia's home stadium, this game will use the largest basketball stadium in this Olympic Games. Even so, the current Olympic Basketball Stadium is still full of seats, tens of thousands of Australian fans , and Hua Guo fans were holding the national flags of their respective countries, and some even had some flag stickers on their faces and foreheads, and at the same time they kept showing themselves to the TV camera.

"Because of the outstanding performance in the last game, in this game, Meng Xu replaced Hu Weidong as the starting small forward of the national team. Is such an arrangement reasonable? Who should be strong and in good condition in the national team Let anyone play. Although Hu Weidong is also very good, but this season has been affected by injuries, his performance in this Olympic Games has fluctuated greatly, and his shooting percentage has always been low. Under this situation, if he still occupies the starting lineup, It's obviously unreasonable." Teacher Zhang Lili made some disharmonious remarks immediately after getting the starting list for this game with the attitude of not being afraid of offending others.In the current national team, many old players, such as Liu Yudong and Hu Weidong, were promoted to the national team by Zhang Lili's teacher, so even if Zhang Lili sprayed them, the disciples can't do anything about the former head coach.

Zhang Lili is old and is not afraid of offending people, but Su Qun can't do it. Based on the principle that more things are worse than less things, Su Qun did not answer Zhang Lili's words, but began to introduce the national team to the audience in front of the TV. The starting lineup for this game: "Today's game, our national team's starting center is Wang Zhizhi, power forward is still Liu Yudong, small forward Meng Xu, shooting guard Sun Jun, point guard Li Xiaoyong, I don't know how Director Jiang will arrange it. The tactics of this game, the five players on the field are all players with strong personal ability and excellent shooting, and the three perimeter players are all players with very good breakthrough ability."

"Australia is also a strong team in the world of basketball. It has reached the top four in the Olympics and World Championships many times, especially Australia's two insiders, Matthew Nelson and Chris Anstey, both have strong personal abilities. players, and Chris Anstey is still a member of the NBA Bulls. Neither Liu Yudong nor Liu Yudong have any advantages in facing them, so we must not take this game lightly." Taking Su Qun's words, Zhang Lili By the way, the teacher also introduced two inside players in Australia.

"Director Zhang is right. In this Australian team, many players have played in the NBA. This team has always been very strong. Several of their outside players CJ-Bruton, Glenn Saville , Sean Redhatch, these players are all players who have played in the NBA or NCAA. Although their strength is not yet at the level of Meng Xu, they should not be underestimated. In the group stage, they defeated the former Olympic champions Russia and Yugoslavia in a row, and the overall strength of this team is actually higher than ours." After introducing Australia's starting list in one breath, Su Qun was also a little bit embarrassed Taking a breath, among all the teams that entered the top 8, the Huaguo basketball team may be the weakest one. Even the French team, which lost to the Huaguo basketball team in the group stage, is stronger than Huaguo in terms of overall strength For the national team, in the last game of the group stage, the French team almost overturned the dream team.

"Okay, the game has already started. Australia succeeded in jumping the ball. Generally speaking, it seems that there is no jumping ball in the group stage. This game is still the same. I think Director Jiang should consider increasing Yao Ming's playing time." After the start of the game, Wang Zhizhi's failure in jumping the ball as usual also made Zhang Lili sigh. Reece Anstey is 5 centimeters taller and younger than the opponent, but he just can't jump the opponent.

"Director Zhang, there's nothing we can do about it. The physical fitness of us yellow races has no inherent advantage over whites." Su Qun's words at the moment also meant to excuse Wang Zhizhi. As a player selected by the Mavericks, Wang Zhizhi will sooner or later He is going to enter the NBA, and as the representative of CCAV stationed in the United States, he will also have to deal with Wang Zhizhi at that time, so it is not easy for Su Qun to offend Wang Zhizhi.When it comes to physical fitness, Su Qun thinks of Meng Xu. Xiang Meng Xu's physical fitness is probably an outlier among people of the yellow race.

"This guy is so strong." Australian point guard CJ Bruton, after Chris Anstey successfully jumped the ball, slowly dribbled the ball and walked forward. Competition, so in the first quarter, the two sides will not try their best, but will slowly test each other, and then gradually exert their strength.But just when CJ-Bruton was directing his teammates to run and dribbled the ball to the center line, Meng Xu rushed over and pressed CJ-Bruton. Luton wanted to play tricks on Meng Xu at the beginning, but after playing in a flashy way, not only failed to play tricks, but almost made a mistake.After dribbling for 10 seconds, CJ Bruton couldn't get rid of Meng Xu's close defense. In desperation, he had to call his teammates for a pick-and-roll cover, but just as Matthew Nelson pulled up, he was intercepted by Meng Xu , Looking at the back of the No. 5 player of the Huaguo team who was already hanging on the basket, CJ Bruton was also surprised.

Born in CJ Bruton in Wichita, Kansas, USA, he was a very versatile guard during the NCAA period. Signed immediately, so CJ-Bruton has been honing himself in the NBL, while waiting for the call of the NBA.CJ Bruton, who loves streetball, thinks his ball control is top-notch. He often improvises in NBL games, but this time, he was cut off by Meng Xu in the first round. ball up.

"Hey, buddy, you should go to the streetball, not here." After getting off the basket, he shook his finger at CJ-Bruton. In such an official game, there is no one else, even White Chocolate would not dare to play like this in the game.

"Fack." After hearing Meng Xu's sarcasm, CJ Bruton, who was originally provoked, saw Meng Xu staying at the free throw line, waiting for him to catch the ball in the backcourt, and then ready to come up to press himself at any time Immediately after that, I couldn't control my anger. My uncle could bear it but my aunt couldn't, but after looking at the head coach on the sidelines, he could only temporarily hold back his anger and curse at Meng Xu. Thinking that he must play him once, so as to get back the scene.

"What is Xiao Meng doing?" Seeing Meng Xu pressing CJ-Bruton on the court, assistant coach Min Lulei looked at the head coach Jiang Quan with a puzzled face. The tactical arrangement before the game was not like this.

"He wants to disrupt the rhythm of Australia's game. The enemy is strong and we are weak. Only by surprise can we hope to win." Jiang Quan was not angry at Meng Xu's behavior that violated his own tactical arrangements, but also nodded. expressed his appreciation.

If Meng Xu heard the conversation between Jiang Quan and Min Lulei, he would definitely nod in agreement.Before the start of the game, Coach Jiang Quan introduced to all the players that, as the player with the strongest personal ability in the Australian team, Australia's tactics were basically initiated from CJ-Bruton, so Meng Xu wanted to use it against CJ Bruton. CJ-Bruton's pressing is to disrupt Australia's rhythm. After all, no matter how strong CJ-Bruton is, there is still a big gap with the top point guards in the NBA. As long as he can be interrupted twice, it will definitely disrupt him. mentality.And before the start of the game, coach Jiang Quan also gave himself a very high degree of tactical freedom, which can be said to let him play.At the same time, this game is also the first time that Meng Xu has played at the same time with several big shots of the national team. After the opening game, he can show CJ-Bruton his strength and show his strength to these big shots. Maybe even without shaking his body a few times, these bigwigs will surrender to him.After all, everyone is together for honor, right? As for who is the boss and who is the core, it doesn't matter, right?

"Isn't this CJ-Bruton known as the number one point guard in the NBL? Why is it so bad? Under Meng Xu's pressure, he couldn't even control the ball stably." Perhaps the additional state of the death entanglement took effect, this time Faced with Meng Xu's pressing, CJ-Bruton stumbled while dribbling and almost made mistakes twice in a row. Seeing this scene, Zhang Lili also shouted that it was a bit unreasonable.

In the end, just 2 minutes into the first quarter, the head coach of Australia called a timeout. There was no way that CJ-Bruton was too embarrassed during these 2 minutes, and was directly given by No. 5 of the Huaguo Basketball Team. Stealed 3 times, and was hit directly with an 8-0 climax. Seeing CJ Bruton with a somewhat unbalanced mentality, the Australian head coach had no choice but to replace him directly with a backup point guard. down.

In the end, relying on Meng Xu's 8 points in the opening stage, at the end of the first quarter, the Huaguo basketball team led Australia by 28 points 13-15. 39. Relying on the outstanding performance of the substitute lineup, the Australian team still retains a glimmer of hope for a comeback.

　Thank you for the monthly ticket that I am not called Junge, thank you.

　　Tomorrow it's time to play the US team. It seems that no one reads the chapter of the national team, which is embarrassing.
