Bishop of the Devil

Under normal circumstances, Argentina met the US team in the semi-finals. As a result, the US team lost and only got a bronze medal in third place.

Of course, this is only an ideal grouping. If the Chinese team reaches the semi-finals and finally matches the American team, there is no way. They can only take one step at a time.

…

The Olympic men's basketball team has ended long ago, and the Chinese team was placed in Group A.

A total of twelve teams participated, divided into two groups AB. The Chinese men's basketball team was assigned to group A. In fact, it was quite lucky.

The opponents in the same group are New Zealand, Spain, Argentina, Serbia and Montenegro and Italy.

The reason why we say we are lucky is because Group B can be said to be the group of death.

Group B has four continental championship teams, Oceania champion Australia, African champion Angola, European champion Lithuania and American champion Team America.

The rest include Puerto Rico and host Greece.

…

There were a total of twelve participating teams, and the Chinese team entered the quarterfinals. In fact, this is not a particularly outstanding historical achievement.

However, considering that there are so many countries in the world and only twelve teams are qualified to participate in the Olympic Games, it is actually an honor to qualify...

At least it's better than South Korea, which looks helplessly unable to qualify for the Olympics.

…

There are six teams in each group, playing a round-robin tournament, and the four teams with the best results advance to the quarterfinals.

Under normal circumstances, the Chinese men's basketball team has struggled to get opportunities, winning two out of five games, and they were all narrow wins...

They won New Zealand 69:62 and narrowly defeated Serbia and Montenegro 67:66. As for the other three games, they were all defeated.

Basically, the two teams, New Zealand and Serbia and Montenegro, are just giving away food. Basically, they can easily win a game no matter who is in the round.

…

On August 15, Richard's honeymoon ended, but Tiana did not leave Athens and planned to stay to cheer for Richard.

Tonight is the first game of the Chinese men's basketball team. Countless Chinese fans are lying in front of the TV, waiting for the game to start.

The opponent is Spain, a strong European team, with the Grizzlies leader Pau Gasol in the lineup.

Under normal circumstances, Spain would finish first in Group A and advance to the quarter-finals. However, they had bad luck in the rest of the schedule and only finished seventh in the Olympics.

It is worth mentioning that their battle for seventh place was with the Chinese men's basketball team.

Seeing the players from both sides starting to appear, Richard also breathed a sigh of relief.

Although I have great confidence in the Chinese men's basketball team, this Olympics is not the Asian Cup that abuses food!

The opponents are all strong teams, especially these strong European teams, which are quite difficult to deal with. Maybe there are not many players on the team playing in the NBA, but they still often frustrate the American team.

The game on the court started, and Richard watched the game calmly.

Yao Ming gave Gasol a hard lesson at the beginning. After receiving a pass from Liu Wei from the outside, he dunked directly over Gasol's head.

This dunk gave Richard a lot of confidence.

The strength of the Chinese men's basketball team is not what it used to be. At least Yao Ming is much stronger than normal.

After the ball was transferred, Spain's outside player Dujenas immediately responded and hit a three-pointer.

The Chinese men's basketball team's perimeter defense is still a bit too weak, which gives Richard a headache.

Because of Yao Ming and Battelle, Richard didn't worry much about the team's inside defense. It was only this outside defense that directly lowered the level of the Chinese men's basketball team.

I can't help it...

feeling bad……

The game passed minute by minute. Relying on Yao Ming's strong inside advantage and Dazhi's fierce outside fire, the Chinese men's basketball team finally won.

However, the point difference in victory was not big. In the end, it was only a point difference of 82:79, a narrow victory of only three points.

With only a three-point difference, maybe one more three-pointer by the opponent can change the situation.

"It would be great if that guy Sun Yue was here..." Richard sighed, somewhat confused as to what medicine Team Aoshen had taken wrong.

If you beat him to death, you will not let Sun Yue join the men's basketball team...

This matter is actually good for the Aoshen team. If Sun Yue performs well, their Aoshen team will also have more fans.

…

Although Sun Yue's development in the NBA is quite poor, in Richard's view, his perimeter defense is quite precious to the Chinese men's basketball team.

It can even be said that purely in terms of outside defensive efficiency, Sun Yue can be called the number one in the men's basketball lineup.

If Richard uses Artest's All-Star light for Sun Yue, the perimeter defense will definitely be effective.

In this game against Spain, the opponent's Dujenas would not be able to score 22 points.

If he's lucky, the effect of Artest's All-Star light can last for three years, which can even improve Sun Yue's draft ranking in the NBA.

When the time comes, Sun Yue, who has high hopes for him, may not be as miserable as normal if he is properly trained.

The biggest problem now is that without Sun Yue, Richard is somewhat reluctant to use the All-Star light for other male basketball players.

After all, these players have no prospects of entering the NBA, so it would be a waste to use them.

…

The Olympic Games schedule is off to a successful start, and the country is rejoicing.

Although Richard has issued a military order, fans are still not very optimistic that the men's basketball team can go too far.

However, the defeat of the European strong team Spain in the first game has boosted the fans' confidence a lot.

Next on August 17th, the men’s basketball team will play against New Zealand.

The players of the New Zealand men's basketball team performed a Maori war dance before the game, which was quite exciting, but their performance fell apart once the game started.

Being completely suppressed by the Chinese men's basketball team, especially in the paint, Yao Ming scored 32 points and 17 rebounds tonight, almost single-handedly defeating New Zealand.

In the next game against Serbia and Montenegro, the situation was generally similar to that of New Zealand. The men's basketball team relied on its inside advantage to win the game steadily.

With three consecutive wins at the start, they are firmly on top of Group A.

Domestic fans are excited, this is the rhythm of winning medals...

There are two opponents left in the group stage, one is Italy and the other is Argentina, both of whom cannot be underestimated.

But even so, the Chinese team has now firmly qualified for the quarterfinals, tying the Chinese men's basketball team's best performance in Olympic history.

In the next game against Italy, the men's basketball team performed very well. Not only did Yao Ming show his strong dominance inside, but Da Zhi on the outside was also like no one.

Waiting for the last game of the group stage, against Spain, just when everyone thought that the men's basketball team would advance to the quarterfinals with a record of winning five games, the men's basketball team lost, and the loss was not even close. few.

At 96:85, the score difference exceeded double and they lost by 11 points.

Richard sighed. Although losing does not mean that the overall strength of the Spanish team is really better than the men's basketball team, it at least shows that the men's basketball team is not sure of winning against Argentina.

Richard's goal is the gold medal. If he can't pass Argentina, everything is empty talk.

At the end of the group stage, Argentina and the Chinese men's basketball team both had a record of 4 wins and 1 loss, with Argentina losing one game to Spain.

However, due to the relationship between victory and defeat, Argentina ranked first in Group A, while the Chinese team had to settle for second.

However, this ranking is actually a gift from God for China. If they really defeat Spain in the group stage and get first place in the group, Richard will really be in trouble now.

The reason is simple. The American team only achieved an embarrassing fourth place in the group stage and almost failed to qualify.

They lost directly to Puerto Rico in the opening game, and then lost to Australia and Greece, and then lost to Lithuania. That is to say, they finally won the game against Angola, otherwise the Dream Six team might really miss the quarterfinals.

The record of Dream Team 6 is exactly the same as the Dream Team in Richard's memory, and there are no changes.

As long as there are no variables, that would be beneficial to Richard.

With the Dream Six team only finishing fourth in the group, even if they reach the semi-finals, their opponent can only be the Argentina team with a better record in Group A...

If the Dream Six team is ranked first in Group B, then they will face the Chinese team in the semi-finals.

At present, the Chinese men's basketball team led by Richard has perfectly avoided Argentina and the Dream Six Team. This has to be said to be a happy thing.

American fans are going crazy. They never imagined that their dream team would have such a bad record...

However, they still have a sense of luck in their hearts, thinking that the Dream Team is not serious about it. When the next knockout round comes, it will be the time for the Dream Team Six to show off.

Not only American fans think so, but also Chinese fans.

The previous Dream Team really left a huge shadow on fans from all over the world. Seeing that the Chinese team did not have to face the American team at least until the finals, Chinese fans were quite excited.

In the quarter-finals, the Chinese men’s basketball team’s opponent is Australia.

Now that it was the knockout stage, Richard didn't dare to make too big a deal, so he finally gritted his teeth and spent all his money.

Giving Artest's All-Star light to the team's small forward Zhu Fangyu...

Because he had a lot of All-Star lights on hand, Richard used one of Ginobili's All-Star lights for Liu Wei.

Even Mad Dog's lingering, this prop is bound to Liu Wei...

The backcourt of the Dream Sixth Team is their main offensive point. Iverson will definitely need Liu Wei to defend this point. If he cannot guard it, the situation will definitely be quite bad.

Richard took out Clark's hot pot for Battelle to use. At the moment, he didn't care about the cost at all, and basically used everything he could use for the men's basketball players.

The knockout round was quite cruel, and Richard didn't want to end up in the quarterfinals in despair.

Thanks to Richard's improvement, the men's basketball team won the game against Australia relatively easily, and finally beat Australia by a margin of 17 points.

This aroused the carnival of domestic fans and reached the semi-finals!

Created the best result in Chinese men's basketball Olympic history...

All you need to do next is to get a medal!

Argentina and Dream Six also won in the quarterfinals, and the two will meet in the semifinals.

As for the opponent of the Chinese men's basketball team in the semi-finals, it is the European champion team Lithuania. As long as it passes Lithuania, the minimum guarantee is a silver medal!

Even if you can't pass Lithuania, you still have a chance to win a bronze medal.

The Domestic Basketball Association is already extremely excited. The historical record has been set. The next step is to see whether Richard can lead the team to create even greater miracles.
