Argentina narrowly defeated Spain 102-98. Last year's South American champions will meet last year's European champions Lithuania in the final.

The Chinese men's basketball team went to cheer for the Argentine team, but they did not bring any help to the Argentine team. Instead, they made the Spanish team excited.

Gasol's anger level is maxed out, he can't be as fierce as Liu Xiu, Scola, Oberto, what the hell!

Gasol had 31 points, 9 rebounds and 3 assists, almost leading the Spanish team to defeat the Argentine team.

In the end, the Argentine team relied on its superior overall strength to defeat the Spanish team.

One of the impressions Chinese people have on people from other countries is that they are reserved and reserved.

Therefore, for this operation of the Chinese men's basketball team, players from both teams were blamed on one person - the warden.

The performance of the Spanish team also shocked Liu Xiu. If the Spanish team really defeated the Argentine team, Liu Xiu would not care if the Argentine team won the championship. But if the opponent in the bronze medal match is the Argentine team, then the difficulty of the Chinese team to compete for the medal will be

Rising exponentially.

…

"Liu Xiang, Liu Xiang...oh oh...look here...oh..."

August 27, 2004, a day recorded in the history of Chinese sports.

After the morning training, Liu Xiu took his parents, sister, three apprentices, Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi and other teammates to watch the men's 110-meter hurdles competition.

In the final, Liu Xiang tied the world record with a time of 12.91 seconds and won the Olympic gold medal!

I originally just accompanied Liu Xiu to watch a competition, but I didn't expect to witness a historic scene in Chinese track and field!

The scene of Liu Xiu cheering crazily also surprised his teammates.

The warden (master) also has this side.

But follow along and you will really make money!

As athletes, they understand better how difficult it is for Liu Xiang to win the championship.

On the way back to the Olympic Village, Yao Ming said excitedly to Liu Xiu: "Liu Xiang is so awesome. He has given us a perfect starting point for our track and field events in the new century!"

Liu Xiu, who finally saw the scene he wanted to see, was also very excited, but when he heard Yao Ming's words, he almost sprained his legs!

Starting point...starting point?

Liu Xiu remembered what some people said about the national football team entering the World Cup two years ago...

…

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the bronze medal match between the Chinese team and the Spanish team started.

This is the second battle for both teams within 24 hours, and both teams consume a lot of energy.

In comparison, the Spanish team, which played a game at 8 o'clock last night and the winner was not decided until the last minute, consumed more money.

The inside line of the current Spanish team really feels a bit like the Chinese men's basketball team in 2004 in the original time and space. In that Chinese men's basketball team, Yao Ming was the only one supporting the inside line. Battelle was slow, Yi Jianlian was young, and Wang Zhizhi had not returned yet.

Now Gasol doesn't have a younger brother. He was very fierce at the beginning, but as he got to the back, he became more and more difficult to fight.

Facing the Chinese team, the Spanish team still has the advantage of overall strength on the outside, but the Chinese team also has Liu Xiu!

The Chinese team fought hand to hand and played defense.

The Spanish team did not have the same confrontation as the Lithuanian team. They wanted to use technology and teamwork to solve the problem, but they did not play well because Gasol was in a sluggish state.

After the game started, the Chinese team gradually gained the upper hand!

The coach of the Spanish team originally planned to slow down and wait until Gasol got into the state and formed a linkage with Navarro and other outside teammates.

But Gasol was startled when he beat Liu Xiu. He was easily anxious, but his condition was not good, and he was not very effective in singles or support... It formed a vicious circle!

La Liga bomb Navarro chose to stand up and take over the offensive banner. He threw 29 times today, but only made 11 of 29 shots and only 3 of 12 three-pointers. In addition, he made 5 of 7 free throws. Although he scored 30

points, but the Spanish team only scored 58 points!

Relying on Liu Xiu's 14 points, 9 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and 1 block, Yao Ming's 18 points, 8 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 blocks, Wang Zhizhi's 9 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals, Zhu Fangyu's 12 points... the Chinese team won 66 to 58.

A narrow win over Spain!

After the final whistle sounded, Gasol listened to the manic cheers of the Chinese fans who came to the scene, and looked at Warden who was surrounded by his teammates on the opposite side... Why was it me who was injured again!

Why is it that I, who is the strongest in the world, can't beat others but it doesn't work here?

…

At 8 o'clock in the evening, the final between Argentina and Lithuania started.

The Lithuanian team defeated the United States in the group stage and the Chinese team in the semi-finals. Their performance was eye-catching.

There is a topic that makes basketball fans feel regretful - if Sabonis can play in the Olympics, the Lithuanian team may be the strongest.

In the 2003-04 season, Sabonis, who returned to the Lithuanian League after returning to his roots, led the Kaunas team to win the Lithuanian League championship at the age of 40.

He also qualified for the European Basketball League Cup in the qualifying round and led the team all the way to the semi-finals before losing to Barcelona.

This season, the 40-year-old Sabonis won the MVP of the Italian League, the MVP of the European League regular season, and the MVP of the Europa League Top 16.

But his overwhelmed knees really failed to hold up this time, and he was unable to compete in the Olympics with the national team that won the European Championship last year.

However, regret is also a kind of beauty.

Times are always changing!

The era of Argentina’s golden generation is here!

At 9:52 pm, after nearly two hours of play, Argentina defeated Lithuania 69-61!

…

On August 27, 2004, this day was not only recorded in the annals of Chinese sports history when Liu Xiang won the gold medal in the 110-meter hurdles.

The Chinese men's basketball team won the first medal in the world competition for China's three major men's basketball games, which is also recorded in the history of Chinese sports!

At 10:15 pm, the Chinese flag was raised at the Olympic Park Stadium.

A lot of Chinese fans came to the match between Argentina and Lithuania.

What they want to see is the final scene of the five-star red flag being raised.

The commentator on the court stage said that sentence again - "Chinese basketball has taken a new step! We will create greater glory from this new starting point!"

In an interview after the game, Liu Xiu was also asked this question.

Even though it was a bit ominous, he still sounded happy.

When the national flag was raised, Liu Xiu saw teammates crying next to him.

He was also very excited, but he managed his expression very well.

It's so embarrassing to cry like Wang Zhizhi at this time!

Moreover, his obsessive-compulsive disorder came on at this time, and he felt that something was missing.

oh!

Right!

The national anthem is missing!

…

…

The Olympics for the Chinese men’s basketball team is over!

Excitement, excitement, unwillingness, joy, anticipation... all kinds of emotions are intertwined in the hearts of the Chinese men's basketball players.

By the way, there is still reluctance.

Not to mention others, even Liu Xiu, Yao Ming, Wang Zhizhi... when they returned to the national team, they never expected that they would actually win medals in the end!

On the night they received their medals, every player in the Chinese men's basketball team slept with their medals on.

But winning the medal means that the journey of this men's basketball team has come to an end.

How many people from this team will remain in the next Olympic Games?

Even if it's the World Championships the year after next, it's hard to say how many people there will be.

The emergence of these emotions is inevitable. After Liu Xiu noticed it, he did not comfort anyone. He took his three apprentices to the supermarket in Athens and bought a bunch of meat, vegetables, fruits... and put them on the hot pot!

He will definitely be very busy after returning to China. Liu Xiu still has business activities, so this meal is considered an early breakup meal.

There are also some athletes from other sports who have finished the competition. It has been more than a month since arriving in Athens with the Olympic delegation on the 25th of last month. Liu Xiu has also met many domestic athletes.

The men's basketball players had long known that Liu Xiu had such skills, but people in other sports never expected that Liu Xiu, a handsome guy who plays well, could be such an excellent cook!

Many female athletes' eyes lit up when they saw Liu Xiu.

However, after arriving in Athens, their coach told them that "Liu Xiu is not a good man."

Who asked the warden to go on a date with a supermodel for the night as soon as he arrived in Athens...

The lively day passed, and at night, everything became quiet.

Liu Xiu's mood also calmed down.
