Guard With a Knife

It was fun meeting Westbrook, Curry, Rose, guys of similar age who share the same obsession with wanting to get better on the court.

And because of the existence of the little duke, the relationship between the other three people was also glued together. The four chatted and laughed, from the World Championship opponents to the American entertainment circle.

When Kevin Love walked in from the outside and yelled loudly, "Hey, did you hear that? Scarlett Johansson may come to Turkey to watch the game. However, what she said was if the Chinese team and the US team met in the final.", The pressure suddenly concentrated on Snoopy.

This year the U.S. team is dominated by young players. Westbrook, Rose, Gordon, and Love are sophomores, and Curry is a first-year player. Coupled with third and fourth graders like Kevin Durant, Granger, and Rudy Gay, the only experienced players left are Billups, Tyson Chandler, and Lamar Odom.

But even so, the US team never doubted that they could reach the final.

In contrast, it is much more difficult for the Chinese team to enter the final.

You know, the next opponent of the Chinese team in the quarter-finals is Argentina. Two minutes ago Westbrook was still emphasizing: 'Argentina is a strong opponent, they have defeated the Dream Team'.

"Hey, don't you want to practice ball?"

Just when Dug was about to reply solemnly, Kevin Durant's voice came from the door.

He looked serious.

Curry on the side whispered: He must have heard Scarlett Johansson's name and rushed over from the next room.

The rhythm of Mengshen's speech has a strange and erratic feeling... Puff!

Master Wei was the first to laugh out loud, and Ross and Love couldn't hold back: Everyone knows the rhetoric of the new Captain America.

When the friends around him laughed together, His Excellency the Duke was also very helpless. He even thought about a question before: If Durant really wants to drink Scarlett's bath water, will he also drink my bodily fluids?

This picture seems a little disgusting.

So he simply got up and said goodbye.

He didn't want to get involved in Team USA's 'internal conflicts', nor did he want to get involved in how these bastards explained their laughter to Captain Kevin.

...

The game against Argentina was very difficult.

Although the Argentine national team in 2010 was not as strong as when it defeated the US team, Ginobili and Nocioni even missed the World Championships. But after Luis Scola returned to the FIBA ​​system, he immediately refreshed.

He wriggled around in the paint, making both Ah Lian and Lao Wang uncomfortable.

But... when the Chinese team survived the first quarter and Duge made a move to go deep into the penalty area to deal with Scola full-time, Scola immediately misfired.

He is good at personal confrontation and feints.

But Duge's foot is more stable than a 500-year-old locust tree, and his mind is stronger than he doesn't know. His circling footsteps are no different from a linear equation in two variables in front of Doug... Bang!

In the first round, Lu Dinggong froze his layup directly on the backboard.

Snapped!

In the second round, Scola could only raise his head, squinting at a forty-five-degree angle to watch the basketball float to the north.

Snapped!

In the third round, the basketball was caught directly in the air.

Three consecutive attacks were fruitless.

No matter how tough Argentina is, they dare not let Scola continue to be played in the paint. They handed the ball to Delfino.

Delfino began to play three-point shooting from the outside.

But this did not change the trend of Argentina gradually falling into trouble.

Duge began to instigate a defensive counterattack from the second half of the second quarter, and the Chinese team's offensive was instantly mobilized. Although it felt a bit icy at the beginning, Duge's continuous breakthroughs and kills stabilized the lead. After that, the game became more and more relaxed, and the point difference widened at any time.

When the game entered the fourth quarter, there was no suspense about the outcome.

The host of CCTV even deliberately showed off his integrity during the commentary: "There is not much time left for the Argentines."

These words make basketball fans so excited that their adrenal glands are going to explode. They didn't expect that what they lost in football would be made up for on the basketball court. The Pampas Eagles crisscrossed the green field, but they were subdued by the Chinese team when they arrived on the basketball court?

89:72.

The final whistle sounded.

The long-suppressed Chinese team bench can no longer control the excitement.

Quarterfinals! !

The Chinese team once again broke into the quarterfinals of the World Series.

And it was without Yao Huang.

The emotions of the Chinese fans were once again greatly vented, and the enthusiasm for basketball once again swept across the land of China.

"This is completely different from advancing to the quarterfinals of the World Series. In the past, even if Yao Huang was still there, including the time at the Beijing Olympics, he stumbled and walked on thin ice. But this year... we pressed our opponents all the way to the quarterfinals."

Director Zhang said excitedly on the TV: "We are the top of the group this time. Except for Serbia, we really can't beat it. The others are to seal the victory early. In the next game, we will face Spain. I hope the boys of the Chinese team can win Doug led the way to avenge the Beijing Olympics!"

Zhang's mood is the same as that of all Chinese fans, and now he is only one step away from making history for the Chinese men's basketball team.

As long as they can beat Spain in the next quarter-finals. So... the national team will advance to the semi-finals in a historic way.

"We will do our best to win the next game." Duger said seriously facing the camera: "I believe that in the face of creating a new history, all players will not back down."

What Doug said was categorical.

His teammates are equally motivated. The young Guo Ailun clenched his fists and shouted: "Nothing else, just follow Brother Du!!"

At present, all the players are holding back their momentum. I can't wait to immediately capture the Spaniard, complete revenge and make a historic breakthrough to the semi-finals.

As Doug said, everyone wants to create a new history and write a strong stroke in the history of Chinese basketball.

And this strong desire to win quickly brought to the arena.

Although the Spanish team has declined in strength compared to the Olympic Games, it is still not to be underestimated. They have three carriages outside: Fernandez, Navarro, and Rubio are all heroes. The insider Marc Gasol has a toughness that his brother has never had.

As soon as the game started, Fernandez demonstrated "how many ways to run around a screen wall" on the periphery, and Navarro demonstrated "how many ways to shoot around a screen wall".

The two salted ducks are more coquettish than the other.

However, Doug has only one way to deal with them.

Rampage, smash... restricted area!

boom!

It was an unreasonable heavy dunk with both hands, which instantly drove the tide in the arena.

Then, Doug assisted Mr. Wang to hit a jumper from outside the three-point line one after another... Marc Gasol couldn't expand the defense beyond the three-point line at all.

Back in the penalty area, he had to face Duger's position again.

It is worth mentioning that the cooperation between the United Arab Emirates and Duge is getting better and better. This power forward, who is not very good at positioning, but has an amazing jumping ability among yellow races, averaged 12.5 rebounds per game in this tournament, making him the current rebounding leader.

And...his mid-range shot is deadly. With the help of Du Ge, everyone who eats cakes is much more optimistic.

Doug even thought that if this guy continued to improve, it would be a good thing to bring him to Chicago.

Of course, this thought was only fleeting. The NBA is a commercial league, and each team has a professional management team to calculate its interests. Things like Eddie Curry, even I can't stop it.

Time moves forward.

The Spaniards have maintained a strong willfulness, and Navarro, the king of Europe, has been looking for things on Sun Le's head.

The game continued until the second half of the third quarter and it was still a tie.

However, the opportunity finally appeared two minutes before the end of the third quarter.

Rubio, the golden boy who replaced Navarro, didn't know whether it was because he saw that the team couldn't open the game inside, or because he blindly believed that he averaged 42% of his three-pointers per game in the Spanish league. Bang Bang threw two three-pointers, and the front of the basket was banging.

Because Doug was holding on to Marc Gasol at the basket. The UAE was overjoyed to pick up two rebounds.

The two defensive counterattacks were extremely successful. Duge made a dunk and a pass, and the Chinese team instantly widened the point difference to 6 points.

Then, this point difference has been maintained until the end of the game.

In the fourth quarter, the Chinese team blatantly defended like the Great Wall of Steel. All the players gritted their teeth and resisted the impact of the Spaniard time and time again. And on the offensive end against the defense, scoring goals again and again.

Every attack and defense pays 100% concentration and toughness.

"The determination of this group of young people to try to create history is visible to the naked eye. This is destined to be a game that will be recorded in the history of the Chinese men's basketball team." Director Zhang said emotionally on TV: "Ten years later, I will still remember Duge leading the players. The strong offensive and defensive play in the fourth quarter. Every player is like a bulldog, biting the opponent tightly and not letting go!"

"Such a game is really important to this young Chinese team. It not only enhances the team's tacit understanding, but also exercises the players' on-the-spot adaptability, and at the same time greatly improves the team's self-confidence. 91:85. The semi-finals of the World Championships , well deserved!!"

When the game whistle sounded, Doug was thrown high by the team players in Turkey.

19 points, 11 assists, 8 rebounds, 2 blocks and 2 steals.

Duge's performance tonight is beyond reproach, he is the well-deserved core of the national team. He is also a popular national hero in the hearts of fans! ! It is no exaggeration to say that at the moment when the final whistle sounded and the Chinese team officially broke into the semi-finals, in the hearts of all basketball fans across the country: Doug is the pride of the country and Jordan of China.

But in the post-match interview, Doug attributed all the credit to his teammates. I think it is the concerted efforts of the teammates to complete the revenge against the Spanish team, and it is also because of the strong fighting spirit of the teammates that they can withstand the aggressive Spaniards in the fourth quarter and break into the semi-finals in one fell swoop! !

Two hours after the game, the Chinese team's semi-final opponents were announced.

Host Turkey,

This Turkish team has made every effort to build, and all the elite are out. There are Okur and Asik at the center position, Turkoglu, Ilyasova, Earl Deng and other elite players at the forward position. Coupled with the host's advantage, almost no one thinks that the Chinese team can cross this mountain.

And once lost to Turkey in the semi-finals. The Chinese team is very likely to face group rival Serbia in the bronze medal match. Because again no one thinks the Serbs can beat the American Dream Team.

"If we lose to Turkey, we will most likely lose to Serbia in the medal battle. Because in the group stage, Serbia beat us by 11 points."

The CCTV host said worriedly at the end of the live broadcast.

This is a very objective question.

Perhaps for the vast number of domestic fans, reaching the semi-finals has already exceeded the task.

But in the locker room after the game, Doug told his teammates categorically: "We want to lock in a medal!"

"Since we have reached the semi-finals, why not take advantage of the situation and wrestle with the Americans?"

Duge's words seemed to have infinite magic power, and he gradually calmed down the carnival team members.

Yes, since they have already reached the semi-finals. Why not go any further?

We have never won a World Series medal in our lifetime!

This belief takes root in the hearts of all players.

Without realizing it, the temperament of the national team was gradually driven by Duge. They become insatiable beasts, forever fighting for the next victory.

"Hey! Snoopy. If you can beat Turkey tomorrow night. Scarlett Johansson will be on the plane to the arena!!"

Westbrook called Duger half an hour after the game, and he said meanly: "Someone is waiting to compete with you on the court."

But soon, his smirk was interrupted by Durant's voice: What the hell are you talking about? Are you still not going to practice?

This made Doug frown on the phone. He thought to himself: Is there really a switch in Durant's ear, as long as anyone mentions Scarlett Johnson's name, he will appear next to him immediately, and then shout: Don't you want to go to practice?

beep beep.

Westbrook over there hung up the phone. I don't know if it was disturbed by external forces, or some kind of force majeure.
