The Rest, Only Noise

Latest URL: The semi-final against Yugoslavia was the most tiring game Louis has ever coached in the past few years.

This was an epic battle that lasted three overtimes with all the cards played by both sides, unreservedly, and full of drama.

In regular time, the cooperation is more tacit, and Yugoslavia, which has superstars, has always maintained the lead.

25 seconds before the end, Hu Weidong scored three consecutive three-pointers like a god, desperately chasing the game into overtime.

In the first overtime, another star player of Yugoslavia, Peja, stood up and broke the game.

Then, Liu Yuqing also responded on the offensive end.

Seven seconds before the end of the first overtime, the Chinese team trailed by 2 points. Du Shuai stepped forward, and once again tied with a horseback archery against the defense. In the second overtime, Bodi Loga scored nine points in a row. To kill the game, in the end, it was Hu Weidong and Liu Yuqing who used the unyielding three-pointers to hold back the game.

10 seconds before the end of the game, Wang Mukong caught the ball from the free throw line and made a quasi-lore.

Before the male basketball player could breathe a sigh of relief, he was tied for a slam dunk by an alley-oop pass sent by Bodi Loga, and the two sides entered the third overtime. For this sake, this has become a game that no one can afford to lose. Bodi Loga suffered an ankle injury in the third overtime game, which seemed to hint at the direction of this game.

Bodi Loga exited the field, and the national basketball team, under the leadership of the big three outsiders (Hu Weidong, Liu Yuqing, Wang Mukong), pursued the victory and killed the suspense of the game with two three-pointers before the end.

129 to 124

After three overtime battles, the Chinese team defeated Yugoslavia by 5 points and entered the final of the World Championships for the first time in history.

Entering the final is equivalent to locking a medal in advance.

Louis didn't feel a sense of relief in his heart, because they were not ready to challenge the US team.

Although the current state of the team is very good, the US team is like an enhanced version of the men's basketball team in every way.

The men's basketball team can sweep the world with a dream team style of play, but they cannot beat the Americans.

However, the whole team was immersed in the joy of advancing to the final, and Louis did not express his inner worries at this time.

finals

Del Harris spent 30 minutes doing his pre-fight call. In the United States, Harris received bad reviews from many players because his lectures were as drowsy as chanting. war.

"Okay, everyone, listen to me."

Louis made the final arrangements before the next game.

When playing against other teams in the World Championships, the advantage of the men's basketball team is the strength and thickness of the outside line.

It is as strong as Yugoslavia with super giants, and it has not exhausted them. But in front of the Americans, this strength is not enough.

The advantage of the men's basketball team has changed from the outside to the inside, and it is also thanks to Louis who transplanted the Lakers' high and low inside into tactics suitable for the men's basketball team. Otherwise, they would have no chance of winning from the style of play.

Since they have already reached the finals, the players themselves want to fight. After all, they are already standing in the invincible position of "no loss if you lose, and blood if you win".

In the opening game, facing his club teammate Penny Hardaway, Hu Weidong started off with a gliding dunk with the ball that deserves to be called the Asian Jordan.

Subsequently, Liu Yuqing's three-pointer gave the men's basketball team the lead in the first quarter.

In the second quarter, the men's basketball team made more mistakes as soon as the strength of the US team came up, and the situation began to reverse. At halftime, the US team led by 12 points.

In the second half, the men's basketball team gritted their teeth and persisted with the advantage of the inside line, while the outside line group had a gap with the US team in grades, but they did not lose their courage. Everyone dared to fight and fight with the Americans until the last moment.

Louie barely missed a dead ball and a timeout, playing all the cards he could.

However, the men's basketball team is still unavoidable, just like Spain from 2008 to 2012. It can play a wonderful confrontation with the US team, but in the end it still falls short.

107 to 99

Men's basketball loses by 8 points, amidst FIBA ​​commentators

Amidst the praise, he became the runner-up of the Greek World Championships "although it is an honor to lose".

In this era, the runner-up in the World Series can almost be equated with the champion, because the US team is invincible.

However, before Louis could pour cold water on the players and let them realize that the runner-up was nothing special, Liu Yuqing's black face and Wang Mukong's behavior of stuffing the silver medal into his pocket on the podium set the tone for the atmosphere of the men's basketball team.

Later, Wang Mukong explained his behavior in this way: "I don't think there is anything to be happy about. The runner-up shows that we are the biggest losers."

In the locker room that night, the team leader wanted to say some nice words to boost morale, but was persuaded by Louis.

Louis called the irrelevant people outside the locker room and faced the players alone. What was said between them, no one knows.

It's just that from this day on, no one is proud of the runner-up. In any case, during this trip to Greece, the national basketball team is still returning with a lot of praise.

World runner-up, this is not only a national honor, but also the pride of Asia.

Louis did not choose to return home together. As usual, Harris represented him and the coaching staff at the domestic celebration. Louis, on the other hand, chose a transit airport to fly to the United States.

Back in the United States, Louis did not stop. He locked himself up and replayed the two games against the US team in the World Championships for several days.

After a few days of review, Louis believed that the first match between the group stage and the US team was a must-lose match. Even if they make 0 turnovers in the game, there will be a 5-point gap in the end.

In the second round of the final, the men's basketball team can be said to have reached the best in terms of state and on-the-spot performance.

However, at the end of a high-intensity game, the U.S. team was still alive and well, while the core members of the men's basketball team were all showing signs of fatigue.

Even so, they fought to the end. Their performance was beyond reproach.

In other words, even in an ideal state, the men's basketball team cannot perform better.

It's pretty much the best they can do.

Louis is sure that the current style of play has come to an end. This is an American-style game, fast-paced and high-intensity. You can rely on talent to overwhelm opponents who are not as good as you, but it doesn't work when you meet Americans.

If they want to avenge their humiliation at the Sydney Olympics two years later, they must change their style of play.

Louis kept looking back at the final, becoming more and more silent the more he watched.

He began to envision a game against the US team in his mind two years later...Louis' state caused concern for the family. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

Ever since Lu Yi came back, he didn't think about eating or drinking, and locked himself in a small room to watch videos all day long.

Even when he was most obsessed with work, he wouldn't be like this.

So, Lorraine asked Wuxia to persuade his father.

Then, when Wuxia said, "The runner-up is already a great achievement, Louis raised his eyebrows, "Are you sure the runner-up is good? If you think so, I will be full of worries about your future. Since we have decided to do it, You have to do your best, even your Uncle Wang Mukong knows that the second place is the biggest loser, why don’t you understand?”

"It has nothing to do with me. Mom told me to say it. That's not what I meant..."

"Master's business, you little brat, don't worry about it, just take care of yourself, don't think that those sycophants in "Sports Illustrated" are sycophating you all day long, and you are really smart, you should be tender! In the future What if it's not good!

Lu Wuxia, who got into bad luck by mistake, received a 10,000-point critical blow from her own father, and no longer dared to take care of his father's affairs.
