1295. The American basketball world is shocked!
Liu Mang scored 35 points, 7 rebounds and 9 assists. He was not as tired as the last time he played against the US team, and his statistics were not that good. His teammates improved a lot! Yao Ming only scored 14 points, 12 rebounds, 3 blocks and 3 assists.
Compared with the last time they defeated the United States, Liu Mang and Yao Ming accounted for almost 70% of the points, this time it was much less!
In this game against the United States, after Liu Mang's performance established an advantage, he truly demonstrated what a strong team should have!
When Liu Mang only scored 3 points on 1-of-4 shooting in the second quarter, his teammates made consecutive shots. When Yao Ming's physical fitness declined in the second half and Liu Mang had no helpers, Li Nan stepped up.
The Chinese team reflected one word throughout the game—steadiness!
A solid win overall!
The Chinese team defeated the American team again after two years. This is not particularly surprising. The Olympics have been held before, and fans are looking forward to the Chinese team doing it again.
But the Chinese team actually won so steadily and felt so suppressed by their strength that the fans were so surprised!
The American team felt incredible. They really couldn't believe that the game turned out like this! Except for the second half of the first quarter, they almost saw no hope!
The miserable couple watched the Chinese team players celebrate crazily, and looked at Liu Mang who did not join in the celebration but stood in front of them...
Didn’t make it to the finals again!
Liu Mang said to the pair of hard-luck mandarin ducks: "Two years from now, I will be waiting for you at BJ. You must become stronger quickly, otherwise... I will retire."
…
…
The Chinese team defeated the American team again, shocking the American basketball world.
Larry Brown's national team coaching career can basically be concluded.
However, even if the Chinese team had not defeated the American team, in the original time and space, the Greek team had defeated the American team, and Larry Brown had no chance to join the national team. His NBA coaching career was almost over. Only Boss Joe, who had great vision behind him, gave Larry Brown a chance.
, and then Larry Brown trashed Gerald Wallace.
Jerry Colangelo, the top official of the United States Blue Association, felt unprecedented pressure. He missed the finals for three consecutive World Series! It's not that he failed to win the World Series for three consecutive years, it was simply that he failed to advance to the finals for three consecutive World Series!
"How can a bunch of losers beat Ace Liu?"
The official website of the Associated Press News Department, which has the same functions as Xinhua News Agency, issued this news, pointing out that there are problems with the selection of players for the US team. Except for James, the US team does not have any first-team players, and James is not so suitable for the international arena.
In the international arena, because of his physical strength, he has a great advantage in assisting defense on the inside...but Larry Brown asked him to play on the outside!
There are so many outstanding point guards in the United States, but they chose Hinrich. It’s not that Hinrich is bad, but that Hinrich is not comprehensive enough...
The key is that Paul and Anthony are not needed. In the semi-finals, the former did not have a single minute of playing time due to his seniority and the latter due to defensive issues.
Except for Wade, who has generally performed normally so far in the group stage, almost all the players have been criticized.
The Associated Press is a semi-official comprehensive news agency in the United States. Their opinions drive American discourse. As the chairman of the American Blue Association, Jerry Colangelo is now under tremendous pressure from public opinion.
Colangelo was also helpless. Larry Brown did not resign, and the U.S. team had no precedent of voluntarily firing the head coach of the national team. When they competed with the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia for hegemony, they lost once and would be given another chance the second time.
Let them take revenge, and they succeeded in taking revenge.
But when Larry Brown was the head coach of the US team, most of the stars were unwilling to participate. The good-tempered Duncan gave Larry Brown face in 2004, and then lost so miserably. From that time, Duncan could see that Larry
-Brown had great problems leading the team and refused to participate.
After the U.S. team lost, the information sent by the secretary to Colangelo was all negative news, and the bad news became more and more...
The calls for him to step down are getting louder.
Even the White House sent a warning to Colangelo.
In terms of large-scale team sports, basketball is the face of the United States!
Baseball, ice hockey, American football, these American strengths are not popular around the world. Many countries know the United States because of basketball and the NBA. The American team lost again, that is, until the 2008 BJ Olympics, the American basketball team
There will be no world champion for eight years!
This is unacceptable at the national level of the United States!
Seeing the ultimatum from the White House, Colangelo knew that the 2008 Olympics held in BJ was a key node in his career. If he didn't do it well, his career would be over, and it was also his last chance for redemption!
Colangelo made a call. When the other party picked up the phone, Colangelo said directly: "David, this time, you have to help me..."
…
David Stern hung up the phone with an impatient look on his face. He didn't really want to help the US team. Even if it was requested by the chairman of the National Basketball Association, he could ignore it. The National Basketball Association can't control the NBA.
The U.S. team's poor record is very important to David Stern.
When Jordan retired and the NBA was in desperate need of a facade, the four shooting guards, with their unique personal charms, still attracted a large group of fans around the world without receiving too many honors and achievements that only belonged to them, improving the level of the NBA.
The NBA is not paying much attention; the loss of the U.S. team has given other countries the hope of beating the United States, even if it is just in sports. It has also made many countries vigorously promote the development of basketball. The basketball atmosphere around the world has been greatly improved, which has brought huge benefits to the NBA.
shallow.
However, there is a little difference this time. Liu Mang is dominating in the NBA, and he also has the opportunity to dominate in the international arena, and has already reached the finals...
David Stern does not want to see one dominant player, he needs confrontation and competition, just like in the original time and space of 2011, he did not want to see two first-team defenders in the league playing together to dominate the backcourt, both of them taking over the first team and one defense at the same time.
The combination of defenders made him feel uncomfortable.
After much hesitation, David Stern decided to watch the performance of the Chinese team in the finals!
If the Chinese team really wins the world championship, then Liu Mang's performance this year will be perfect, and Liu Mang must be attacked in 2008!
…
While the two leaders of American basketball have their own thoughts, the Chinese basketball world is in a state of excitement!
Reaching the finals means at least a silver medal!
This is the best result in the history of Chinese basketball!
The final time is 7pm on September 3rd, Tokyo time, which is 8pm BJ time.
A total of 25 TV stations, including six Imperial TV stations and most of the popular satellite TV stations across the country, will broadcast the final of the World Championships in Japan live!
This is the live broadcast specification of the 2008 BJ Olympics that Guang Dingju originally prepared, and it is not divided into several sports, but just this final!
Chapter completed!
