Standing pretty old

Chapter 428
In the last 3 minutes of the first quarter, Sotsendis, known as the little shark, was substituted.

Both Dayao and Howard suffered from this man in the 06 World Championships, but judging from his performance in the first quarter, his level has dropped seriously, and it is difficult to compare with the little shark who blocked people and killed people back then.

It is said that this guy once had a falling out with Yannakis, and he worked hard to lose weight before the start of the Olympics before returning to the Greek team.

After the start of the second quarter, Dayao took a rest, and the Greek men's basketball team replaced Spanoulis, known as the "European Kobe".

Spanoulis is also a player familiar to Chinese fans. Scola was able to come to the Rockets in the end because the Rockets traded him with the Spurs for draft picks.

However, Spanoulis, who hadn't made his mark after playing with the Rockets for a season, finally chose to return to Europe.

He is a typical player who is not acclimatized in the NBA. Once he returns to the familiar European and FIBA ​​arenas, Spanoulis immediately becomes an omnipotent super scorer.

Facing Wang Shipeng's defense, Spanoulis now used his footsteps to sway his opponent away, and then immediately made an outside shot.

This is FIBA, not the NBA where the three-point line is nearly a meter away. Spanoulis hit it!
Ruan Erniu struggled with Sotsenides on the inside for a while, and finally grabbed a good rebound position, but it was a waste of effort and the ball scored!
On the offensive end of the Tianchao men's basketball team, Er Niu immediately stepped up, so he wouldn't foolishly fight with the Sharks in the paint. This guy has become so fat, no matter how explosive he is, his physical fitness can't meet the standard.

Accompanying him for a few rounds, Er Niu didn't believe that he would not be tired.

Seeing that Sotsennidis didn't make a pounce, Erniu simply dribbled the ball back two steps, shot from outside the three-point line, and hit it!

Yannakis was furious. He thought that the little shark should save the ball. Even if it couldn't prevent Er Niu from shooting, it should still put enough pressure on the Celestials.

The little shark who was scolded immediately took a position in the low position, and he wanted to take the second bull by force.

Ruan Erniu blocked him from behind, and Sotsennidis turned very fast, and his flexibility was better than the average defender.

However, Ruan Erniu's movements were not slow. Seeing that the little shark was about to cut inside, Erniu immediately stepped up to defend and let Sotsennidis dribble out of bounds. He made a mistake.

The explosive power is absolutely top-notch, and the speed is fast enough, but it is a pity that neither physical fitness nor offensive skills can cause too much pressure on Erniu.

Ruan Erniu successfully froze the little shark. After Yao Ming came back, Erniu was replaced for a while.

Yunus's protection standard for Erniu has also increased, and this game has nothing to do with qualifying.

Although he was very firm before the game, to Lao You, Ruan Erniu's health is still more important than a second place in the group.

When it came to the knockout stage, it was time for Ruan Erniu's Bing big killer to be completely unsheathed.

Spanoulis and Dayao, the two former Rockets teammates, started a mutual performance on the court.

Dayao has always been nice to his new teammates. Every time he goes to an away game, basically the rookies reported by the Rockets in the first year will be dragged out to dinner by Dayao. Of course, Yao Ming pays the bill.

Spanoulis is no exception, he has a good relationship with Dayao.

He failed to play in the end, and Jeff Van Gundy's rigid teaching method also had a lot to do with it.

However, the arena of the national team is not a place for the two of them to reminisce.

As soon as Dayao turned over to face Brossi and hit a turn and fall back, Spanoulis immediately used the cover of his teammates on the offensive end to make a layup.

Spanoli scored a three-pointer, and Yao Ming then scored 2+1 on Brosis.

The game continued to be anxious, and Ruan Erniu returned to the field in the second half of the second quarter.

Papa Lucas also returned to the No. [-] position, and Ruan Erniu immediately launched a close defense against him.

The Greek master also gradually felt the strong defensive pressure. Ruan Erniu is a player with top inside strength. Although Papalukas is a strong man in the back line, in front of Ruan Erniu, who is faster than him, It is also quite strenuous.

Papa Lucas, who has always been known for his stability, actually made two mistakes in a row at the end of the second quarter. One time he was intercepted by Chen Jianghua and went straight to the fast break; , After stealing the ball, he made a chasing three-pointer.

At 51:46, at the end of the first half, the Tianchao men's basketball team had overtaken the opponent by 5 points.

The level of the Greek men's basketball team is indeed not at its peak in 05-06. Their level is declining, while the strength of the Chinese men's basketball team is rising.

Ruan Erniu felt that even without himself, if the Chinese men's basketball team insisted on fighting against Greece, it might not have no chance of winning. The key still depends on whether the national team can show the momentum to fight against Spain.

The intermission ended quickly and the second half began.

Dayao and Erniu continued to play together, and Liu also realized his shame and was brave. He stabilized his emotions and firmly controlled the basketball for halftime.

The ball was in the hands of Ruan Erniu in the low post. Er Niu, after attracting double-teams, passed it to Dayao in the high post.

Yao Ming made a mid-range shot and hit it!

Diamantidis made a one-step shot from inside the three-point line, and also scored a large 2 points.

Ruan Erniu held the ball with his back, turned around and cut in, got rid of Fortis's defense, and scored with a dunk.

Papa Lucas scored inside, misplaced and faced Yao with a step-back jumper and hit!
Ruan Erniu's horns are in the dry position, and they are also hit!
Both teams had good shooting percentages at the beginning of the second half. This is indeed not a life-and-death battle, and the two sides are far from the point where they have to give up an inch of ground.

Er Niu can clearly feel that the pressure on the defensive end is lower in the second half than in the first half.

What's happening here?
After the analysis after the game, the Chinese men's basketball team agreed that: the Greek men's basketball team was originally planning to beat the Chinese men's basketball team to death with a single stick with an advantage of more than 29 points.

So, they decided to lose to the Tianchao men's basketball team decently, and compete for the fourth place in Group B.

Losing is not an easy thing either, it is necessary to play back and forth, but also to play inextricably.

The Tianchao men's basketball team once expanded its lead to more than 10 points in the third quarter, but was finally recovered to about 5 points.

The stalemate between the two sides continued until the end of the third quarter. Ruan Erniu, who grew bigger and looser, performed chic basketball moves many times in the game, winning rounds of applause from the audience.

Anyone who knows a little bit about football understands that the two teams are playing tacitly.

Sometimes, things don't need to be explained clearly, just leave room for each other.

Chief No. [-] has said that competitions should be used to win friendship.

Since the opponent has affirmed your strength, there is no need for you to make the game too ugly.

The two sides came and went, playing very beautifully, and Papa Lucas sent wonderful lobs many times.

Er Niu also played the game of the flying brigade with Sun Yue and A Lian, but Yao suffered because he really has no acting talent.

At 108:102, the Tianchao men's basketball team finally won the game with only a 6-point advantage, but from the second half of the third quarter, the game lost its suspense early.

The two teams took what they needed and joined hands to qualify.

Spain, who played later, looked angry. Even if they lose to Angola now, they will still qualify third in the group. That is to say, they will almost certainly encounter the American men's basketball team in the semifinals.

In addition, they are very likely to encounter the powerful Argentine men's basketball team in the first round of the knockout round. Among the four qualifying teams in Group B, they may be the one with the worst pick.

Therefore, they slaughtered the point-giving boy Angola with a huge advantage of 98:50 and 48 points. The latter lost all 5 games and lost 35+ points per game. The embarrassing situation ended the Olympic journey.

The fifth match day of the men's basketball group competition is finally over, the quarterfinals are born one by one, and the knockout round is coming!

　Why can Lao You adapt to the complex system of the Tianchao men's basketball team, and why can't Lao Yang adapt?

　　I put forward a statement from my family, please forgive me for the inadequacies.

　　After all, Yunus came from the era of Hongsu. He understands the operation of the bureaucracy and can cooperate with it.Not only did Yannakis come to China at the wrong time, but he also had no experience in compromise with officials.

　　Talking is always easier than doing things, and doing things requires a spirit of compromise, especially in the Celestial Dynasty.
