Chapter 434 Beyond Basketball
Subsequently, the semifinals between the American men's basketball team and the Spanish men's basketball team also began soon.

This is also a game that lacks suspense. Even though the Spanish men's basketball team once caused a little trouble for the Dream Eight team, the powerful American men's basketball team still had the last laugh.

At 118:107, the American men's basketball team broke through the group stage in the lower half with an advantage of 11 points and successfully entered the final.

The Spanish men's basketball team can only compete with the Greek men's basketball team in the third and fourth finals to compete for a bronze medal.

The championship finals of the Olympic men's basketball competition have also been finalized. They are:

The birthplace of modern basketball, the American men's basketball team with a glorious traditional history;
And the Chinese men's basketball team, which has advanced to the Olympic finals for the first time and has the advantage of being the host.

Of course, the US men's basketball team entered the finals, but the dark horse of the Tianchao men's basketball team has repeatedly subverted the inherent concepts of various media, experts and fans.

Before the official start of the Olympic Games, even the most optimistic forecasting agencies would not include the Tianchao men's basketball team as candidates for the Olympic championship.

Among the odds of the major markets, the odds of the Tianchao men's basketball team are second only to the Angola team.

As the game progressed, the odds of the Tianchao men's basketball team changed again and again, but just a few days ago, no one would have believed that the Tianchao men's basketball team could finally reach the Olympic finals.

This is simply a legendary story!
However, the opponent of the Chinese men's basketball team, the American men's basketball team, will not be surprised. They have had a contest with the Chinese men's basketball team in the group stage, and in the end they narrowly defeated their opponents by only 1 point.

This is also the game that the Dream Eight team won with the smallest score difference in the Olympic Games.

In the final stage of the game, the scene of Ruan Erniu leading the Tianchao men's basketball team to bite them crazily is still fresh in their memory.

In the finals, the host team will also appear in front of them with the most tenacious attitude.

To be able to reach the final, there is no team that wants to win the runner-up, including the Tianchao men's basketball team. They are also eager for the gold medal in the Olympic Games.

The old coach K did not rest after winning Spain. He is now working with his coaching staff: Mike D'Antoni, Nate McMillan, and Jim Boheim to study their next opponent-China Men's Basketball Team .

Old K said: "Let's all talk about their own opinions, and speak freely!"

Mike D'Antoni first said: "I don't think we need to make too many arrangements. The Tianchao men's basketball team played at a super level in the group stage. It is impossible for them to perform like this in every game. We just need to do our own defense and If you attack, you will definitely defeat your opponent.”

D'Antoni's self-confidence is beyond words. From the perspective of the lineup, this Dream Eight team does have a big enough advantage.

In his words, don't be fooled by the unreliable outside media, Mengba is playing small ball ahead of the times, and our mobility is enough to make up for our height disadvantage in positional warfare.

Nate McMillan said: "I don't worry about anyone else, but what about Kraft Nguyen? This guy is out of the normal range. Is there anyone on our team who can stop him, in any position?"

McMillan's words made Mengba's coaching staff silent for a while. Yes, some problems cannot be avoided.

Only Ruan Erniu, the powerful American men's basketball team, has no solution.

This is like a confrontation between two armies. One side is obviously stronger than the other, but the weaker side has a decisive team that is not weaker than the opponent.But the strong side has nothing to do with this small team, so it feels very uncomfortable.

Jim Boeheim added: "The problem is that he changes positions too much. He can play almost anywhere on the pitch from one to five.

If we focus all our defense on him, what about Yao Ming?You must know that the Chinese center has always had the advantage when playing against Howard. "

Nate McMillan continued: "Not only that, their outside shooting ability cannot be ignored. Once Kraft Nguyen and Yao attract too much defensive attention, they can also cause us damage from the outside."

Mike D'Antoni said: "So I said, don't focus on anyone, do our own offense and defense, and we can win the game."

The old coach K said: "How about letting LeBron defend Kraft Nguyen all over the court?"

McMillan immediately said: "Ruan Erniu will let James know what post-up singles are in the low post."

Old K originally wanted to say Prince's name, but quickly gave up on this plan. Needless to say, he couldn't stop it either.

……

When the American men's basketball team was discussing how to deal with the Chinese men's basketball team, the Chinese men's basketball team was also discussing how to deal with the American men's basketball team.

As players with rich NBA experience, Er Niu and Dayao participated in the coaching staff meeting at the same time.

To be honest, the American men's basketball team just can't handle Ruan Erniu, while the Tianchao men's basketball team can't handle the Dream Eight team at all.

Seeing that everyone was frowning, Ruan Erniu couldn't help explaining: "Everyone, don't be so pessimistic. We only lost to our opponent by one point in the group stage. We may not have a chance to beat our opponent."

That being said, there is still not much you can do.

Ruan Erniu then joked: "Since there is nothing to do on the field, why don't we do something outside the field?"

Dayao immediately turned one NBA rumor after another in his mind, and said with a smile, "Are you going to arrange people under the Hilton Hotel to make trouble, or are you going to put drugs in the food of the American team?"

Er Niu laughed and said, "Why can't we get some women who have lost their way and let the saints of the US team save their souls? Doesn't Howard like this very much?"

As soon as these words came out, the entire meeting room burst into laughter.

However, Deputy Director Hu finally criticized: "This is the end of the story, how can we use such low-handed means to plot against others?

Even if we win, if someone finds out that we have done something wrong, we will still be held accountable.This is the end of this talk, do you hear me? "

Everyone hurriedly responded, to be honest, Er Niu was just joking, life is not a novel, so there are so many off-the-chart tricks that can be used.

As a result, after discussing for a long time, the Tianchao men's basketball team had no choice but to pay close attention to the zone defense and fight the American men's basketball team to the end.

At this point in the game, it is almost impossible to beat the opponent with a strange move.

Like the Eagles, they suddenly had a chemical reaction in the playoffs and developed a small-ball lineup, which is almost something that can be encountered but not sought after.

Even the proponent, Ruan Erniu himself, did not expect that the overall performance of the Eagles would be so good before making the proposal.

The results of the discussions between China and the United States are actually similar, and the changes should be kept unchanged. When it comes to the game, it is still necessary to use on-the-spot performance to speak to the team's strength.

Neither of them thought that the influence of this game was far from being as simple as an ordinary basketball game.

With the advantage of the home field, the Tianchao sports delegation led the US men's basketball team in the gold medal list for the first time, which was also a huge shock to the US.

If it loses to the Chinese men's basketball team again in basketball, which is the traditional advantage of the United States, it will also be a moderate blow to the country and national dignity of the United States.

The Olympic Games has never been a simple competitive competition. Throughout history, politics has played a big role in it.
