The perfect life of basketball

Chapter 143 142 You can you up
Not to mention the criticism of the Olympics on the Internet, what Ye Yingjie is most concerned about now is the men's basketball schedule.

As in previous years, there are 12 teams participating in this year's Olympic Games, divided into two groups, AB and AB, with 6 teams in each group.The specific groups are:
Group A: United States, France, Tunisia, Argentina, Nigeria, Lithuania.

Group B: China, Spain, Eagles, Australia, Brazil, Russia.

The game is divided into two rounds. The first round is the group match, that is, the points match. The game adopts a single round-robin system, that is, each team in the group meets each other team one by one, and uses the form of points to eliminate. Out of the last two teams in the group, eight teams will be selected to enter the knockout round.

The second round is a knockout match, that is, a game to win or lose, consisting of A1: B4 A2: B3 A3: B2 A4: B1. After four games are completed, four teams will be eliminated, and the remaining four teams will enter the semi-finals; It is a knockout system, consisting of A1:B2 A2:B1 After two games, the winning team will go to the final, and the losing team will compete for the third and fourth places.

So in theory, as long as you win two games out of five, you can basically qualify for the group stage and advance to the quarterfinals!

Seems simple, right?But you have to know that in the previous life, the men's basketball team in the London Olympics experienced one fiasco after another. They lost all five games and went home directly, and were scolded to death by the Chinese people!
Although the then coach Deng Huade brought many changes to the Huaxia men's basketball team, such as the iron-blooded defense, the spirit of never giving up, the atmosphere of unity and harmony, the courage to dare to use new players, and the emphasis on the overall style of play, etc.; The lack of distinctive offensive style of play, and the over-reliance on veterans still dragged them into the abyss!
Ye Yingjie shook his head, clearing the memory in his mind, this life will be different!

Because I am here!
Next, the Huaxia team will face Spain, Russia, Australia, Brazil and the Eagles in order.

It can be said that the Olympic schedule this time is very unfriendly to the Huaxia team, because the opponent of the Huaxia team's first match is the Spanish team, the world champion and the silver medalist of the last Olympic Games.

If you lose the first game, it will be a big blow to the Huaxia men's basketball team!

Once again, they will play against Spain. Huaxia team coach Deng Huade said in an interview: "Experience will bring us a lot of help. We have played several games against Spain before, which will allow our players to compete in the Olympics. Not so nervous.

And we have a secret sauce this year too! "

"Is it Ye Yingjie's joining?"

When the reporters continued to ask questions, coach Deng Huade just smiled and said nothing, appearing as mysterious and abnormal as "Oriental", and full of confidence!
Yao Ming, who was a guest commentator for the men's basketball game, felt that it might not be so simple for the Chinese team to meet Spain again this time and want to gain the upper hand in the game again.

"In 08, we played very fiercely against the United States. We narrowly lost at the last moment and won the silver medal. In 2010, Spain won the World Championships. Of course, the Huaxia team is confident in fighting Spain, because we played very well against them in 08. .”

But Yao Ming continued to remind: "But don't forget, they underestimated us at the time, and they didn't even send two main players in the beginning. But this time, I believe they will remember the lesson, and they will definitely attach importance to the Huaxia team, and they will not relax. , at least they'll put the starting lineup up."

Yao Ming hoped that the players of the Huaxia team would also let go of some of their previous superior mentality.

"But we don't have to worry too much. We have Ye Yingjie joining us this year. I believe he will play a huge role in our Huaxia team's game!"

Ye Yingjie felt a little pressure when he saw the report, but it was more motivation!
Hey Spain, are you ready?

Before the game, many media were not optimistic about the Huaxia team. Although the Huaxia team has Ye Yingjie and Yi Jianlian, there are more players with NBA experience in the Spanish team. They won the European Championship last year. The goal is to defeat the US team and aim for the championship!
The well-known US media "ESPN" once pointed out that Spain is the biggest opponent of the US team when commenting on the biggest opponent of the Dream Ten team.

In terms of strength, the Huaxia team is absolutely at a disadvantage. If it weren't for Ye Yingjie's sudden joining, Spain would not even take the Huaxia team seriously.

Inside:

Zhilian combination VS Ibaka + Gasol brothers

Dazhi is too old, but he can contribute on the offensive end; Alian is currently at his peak, in a hot state, and is the absolute pillar of China's insiders.

In Spain, Ibaka needless to say, he is Spain's inside gate, defensive champion, and outstanding athletic ability. Last season, the Thunder made it to the finals. Ibaka's contribution on the defensive end is indispensable. In the NBA He also came in second in Defensive Player of the Year voting!
There is no need to say much about the abilities of the Gasol brothers. Pau Gasol has comprehensive skills and is a well-known all-around player in the NBA. He can attack and defend well. !

The younger brother Marc Gasol is even tougher. He is the last gate of Spain's defense. On the offensive end, like his elder brother, he can both attack independently and support inside. It can be said that he is not a good stubble!
The insiders of the Huaxia team can say that as long as they don't lose too much, they will win a big victory!
Outside
There is the "golden boy" Rubio in Spain, Calderon, who is very stable and ranks first in the NBA in assists and turnovers all year round, plus Fernandez, Rodriguez and Navarro with comprehensive abilities, the front line is luxurious , at a world-class level!
If the Huaxia team hadn't joined Ye Yingjie's line of fire, the striker and defense line would have been blown up!
Predicted starting:

Huaxia team: Liu Wei, Ye Yingjie, Zhu Fangyu, Yi Jianlian and Wang Zhizhi!

Spanish team: Rubio, Navarro, Fernandez, Ibaka, Pau Gasol.

During the pre-match interview on July 7, Yao Ming said: "Judging from the current group match situation, we can strategically give up on Spain and go all out for the match against the other four teams!"

When the reporter asked Ye Yingjie's opinion on this statement, Ye Yingjie said directly: "I didn't mean to target Dayao, but I really don't have the word abandon in my dictionary!"

At this time, a Spanish reporter raised the issue: "Yesterday we all knew that Yi Jianlian of your team participated in the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games as the flag bearer. He performed quite well. He was always smiling during the whole process, holding the national flag high and walking steadily!"

Then he changed his style: "However, I heard an American netizen say: "If only Yi Jianlian could catch rebounds as smoothly as he holds the national flag! "What do you think about this?"

"Emmm... You can you up, no can no BB!"

"what???"

"You can go, if you can't, don't beep!"
