1597. Huge pressure on Team USA

Do you want to remind your teammates that Russia collapsed inexplicably on its own? Isn't this the normal level of being the number one in Europe?

Liu Mang thought about it and said goodbye. Now that he is competing in the Olympics in his own country, what he needs is the mentality of going forward without fear.

The strength of teammates has been raised to the peak that can be reached currently, and they need this kind of confidence even more, and they cannot mess up their own position.

Moreover, the Chinese men's basketball team beat Europe's number one, which not only boosted the morale of the men's basketball team, but also gave compatriots in other sports confidence... and pressure!

The men's basketball team is like this. How can you guys who play table tennis, badminton, diving, and gymnastics dare to lose?

As a result, an epic tragedy occurred in the table tennis world...

When Zhang Yining faced Japanese star Ai Fukuhara, she scored an 11-0 score in the first game that she hadn't seen in many years... She beat the opponent to tears!

I was completely stimulated by the great victory of the Chinese men’s basketball team!

There is an unwritten rule in the table tennis match that you cannot shave the opponent's head. Zhang Yining accidentally hit two more backhands and went from 9 to 0 to 11 to 0.

The famous Japanese player on the opposite side, who spoke Manchurian dialect, cried so miserably that the game could not continue for a while.

In terms of table tennis, meeting the Chinese team is like encountering a natural disaster. In addition, the Chinese men's basketball team has such a personal disaster nearby, which puts pressure on the national table tennis team...

However, once the men's basketball team starts playing, there is no time to take care of other events.

The Beijing Olympics is the most comprehensive event in the history of the Olympic Games. Because of this, the schedule of each event is very tight.

The same goes for basketball. The group stage is played every other day, and each game has a different opponent. After playing Russia, we are preparing for the game with Angola.

It’s not that Angola has the strength to defeat the Chinese team, it’s just that they are playing in their own country. From the players to the head coach to the national team leader, the Blue Association and other aspects of the Chinese men’s basketball team, they don’t want any surprises. During the group stage with 5 games in 9 days

, the whole process of seclusion, in addition to playing games, is to study opponents and train...

A 100-69 victory over African champion Angola; a 79-61 victory over the West Asian strong team Iran; in the 112-100 offensive battle, Liu Mang and Wang Zhizhi scored 70 points together, Liu Mang scored 39 points, and Wang Zhizhi scored 31 points, leading the team

Defeated Croatia…

There is really no country in Group B that can stop the Chinese men’s basketball team!

Serbia and Italy, which have the strength or characteristics to cope with the Chinese team, performed poorly in last year's European Championships and failed to make the top six. Some countries even failed to advance to the knockout rounds.

Croatia and Germany, who performed well in last year's European Championships... make people wonder how they can make it to the Olympics. These countries only competed in the World Championships, which has 16 places, and they actually made it to only 12 places.

The Olympic Games is purely to give victory to the Chinese team.

Four consecutive wins with margins of more than 10 points!

On August 16, after the first four group matches, the Chinese team ranked first in Group B with a record of 4 wins and 0 losses, locking the first place in the group and advancing to the finals!



Because the Chinese team won the 2006 world championship and the Spanish team was runner-up, the grouping of this Olympics is very different from the original time and space. Group A is really a group of death, and even the American team cannot maintain a complete victory!

On August 17, the U.S. team, which had defeated Spain, Australia, and Greece in a row, was hit by Luis Scola's mid-range shot in the match against Argentina! They lost to Argentina 108-110 and lost their entire victory.

A chance to advance to the knockout rounds!

Ginobili, who was at his peak, went on a rampage in the fourth quarter, scoring 14 points and 3 assists in the first eight minutes, helping Argentina narrow the gap. Scola finally succeeded in consecutive singles against Bosh and Boozer, helping Argentina fall behind by 7 points in the third quarter.

Successful comeback despite points!

So far in the group stage, the game between the United States and Argentina has been the most exciting and tactical game. It is a tactical duel. The scoring of Tracy McGrady and Ginobili versus Biao, Elson and Kwame-

Brown's excellent defense of isolations at the basket...

Although the American team with 3 wins and 1 loss basically secured first place in the group, the Argentine team defeated the American team, proving that this American team is not invincible!

In the first three games, Argentina only defeated Lithuania and lost against Greece and Spain. If it loses to the United States, even if it wins Australia in the end, it will only have 2 wins and 3 losses, and it is very likely that it will not enter the finals.

The U.S. team had 3 wins and 0 losses before. They beat Spain by 20 points and beat Greece by 39 points. They felt that they were relieved. However, they only had 1 win and 2 losses after the first three games and had to win the fourth game to have a chance.

Argentina, which reached the finals...

In this battle, Argentina's golden generation burst out with its final dazzling light!

Many members of Argentina's golden generation were originally planning to retire from the national team after the 2006 World Championships, but their loss to the Chinese team in 2006 made them want to do it again. Persistence brought good rewards, and even in the end they still didn't

They could advance to the finals, but they defeated the US team again in the group stage!

The people on Team USA feel like they are unlucky!

Who would have expected that the Argentine team, which except Scola is almost entirely composed of old men over 30 years old and even many over 35 years old, can burst out with so much energy!





Whose tears are flying...

It's Nowitzki I'm talking about.

The club is currently in a difficult transition period. Although there has been visible progress, it is still struggling.

The national team...is as weak as ever!

Nowitzki didn't even expect that the German team would reach the top six in last year's European Championship! Just like no one thought that Russia would win the championship at the time.

But, when the tide went out, it was immediately obvious who was swimming naked, both Russia and Germany.

So far, in addition to defeating the Iranian team, the German team has also lost against Angola, Croatia, and Russia!

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Especially the loss to Russia, they actually lost by 41 points, 39 to 80, setting a new record for the largest point difference in this Olympic Games when the United States beat the Greek team.

But Russia only had 1 win and 3 losses in the first four games, and only defeated Germany once...

Apart from Angola, the weakest players in Group B are actually Russia, which ranked first in Europe last year, and Germany, which ranked fifth in Europe!

Hearing the fans shouting "Silver Horn King" in Chinese, Nowitzki has been able to understand it in recent years. He thinks this nickname is very good, and he feels a little comfort in his heart...

Looking at Liu Mang opposite who was dancing with Prince, James, and McGrady who came to watch the game, and seeing the four major dance kings causing waves of exclamations on the scene, what else could Nowitzki do?

A little comforted.

Facing an undefeated Chinese team that averaged about 15 points per game in the first four games, Nowitzki really has no choice!

After the beginning of the new century, the U.S. team entered a period of decline. Several countries in the world basketball world shined brightly. The former Yugoslavia, Greece, Argentina, Spain, Lithuania, China... these countries have become the best players in the past three world series.

The dazzling basketball power, especially China, went from fourth in the world in 2004 to first in the world in 2006, and continues to maintain a strong momentum now.

But Nowitzki failed to taste even a little bit of sweetness from this era of chaos and opportunities.

Nowitzki looked at his best teammate, Chris Kaman... and then looked at the inside combination of Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian, and Wang Zhizhi on the opposite side...

I feel like I'm about to be tortured to death...



Nowitzki tried his best, making 9 of 23 shots, 5 of 11 long-range three-pointers, 7 of 7 free throws, and scored 30 points and 13 rebounds.

But Liu Mang, who was on the opposite side, made 14 of 19 shots from the German team's weak perimeter and hit 7 three-pointers in a row. He scored 44 points in 30 minutes, breaking the current single-game scoring record of 42 points held by Tracy McGrady...

98 to 71, the Chinese team defeated the German team by 27 points, winning all 5 games to advance to the quarterfinals!

In today's game, three strong teams from Group A, the United States, Spain, and Greece, which have advanced to the quarterfinals, came to watch the game. This was an important reason for Liu Mang's outburst.

Liu Mang relies on his skills both inside and outside, and his performance in the international arena is no different from that in the NBA!

As strong as the American team, except for Kobe, McGrady, and Anthony, everyone else's strength in the international arena is more or less limited, while the Chinese team is almost all stronger than the NBA in the international arena!

A super insider who may be second only to Gasol and Milicic in the international arena, plus Liu Mang, who is known as the strongest international player after Sabonis...
