The Strongest Bishop in the NBA

To put it lightly, the Huaxia men's basketball team led by Wang Xiao has already completed a feat never before seen in the history of Chinese basketball at the Rio Olympics, breaking through the top eight and advancing to the top four.

Even if Dayao is the peak and the strongest Chinese men's basketball team, the best result in 2008 is only the top eight.

In the 2012 London Olympic Games after Dayao retired, the Huaxia men's basketball team led by Yi Jianlian lost all five games in the group stage.

At that time, including Yi Jianlian and others, they also had a premonition that the Huaxia men's basketball team was about to usher in the darkest era.

No one expected that there would be someone like Wang Xiao in Huaxia!

In 2012, when the Huaxia men's basketball team in the London Olympics fell into the sand, Wang Xiao led the Wizards team he formed himself to win the O'Brien Cup, which symbolizes the highest honor in the basketball world, in the NBA.

And it was also at that time that Wang Xiao said that if he could have an absolute right to speak in the national team, he would consider coaching the national team.

At that time, no one took this matter seriously. The national team is no better than the club. It is impossible for a coach to have an absolute right to speak, so it is impossible for Wang Xiao to coach the national team.

But a few years later, Wang Xiao won consecutive championships and his reputation reached its peak. Under pressure, the Basketball Association had to compromise. Facts have proved that this may be the most correct choice made by the Basketball Association.

Olympic Final Four! This is a milestone breakthrough for Huaxia basketball! This honor alone is enough to fill in the personal resumes of the senior leaders of the Basketball Association.

What's more, this is just the beginning! Wang Xiao's goal from beginning to end is to lead the Huaxia men's basketball team to win the championship! Go for that gold medal!

What would it be like if the national flag of China could fly in the Rio Olympics as Wang Xiao said?

...

The victory over Lithuania made the players of the Huaxia men's basketball team very excited, and what made them even more excited was that only one day later, the other three places for the semi-finals were also announced.

The US team eliminated Argentina with a score of 105:78.

Spain eliminated Australia 92:77.

The French team eliminated Croatia 86:83.

Coupled with China's elimination of Lithuania, the French team became the only team below the gram. They defeated Croatia, which ranked first in Group B, with the fourth place in Group A.

"Luck is on our side too!"

The Huaxia fans rejoiced. The French team was the weakest team in the semi-finals, and they were defeated by the Huaxia men's basketball team without any pressure in the group stage. It can be regarded as the best to be able to face the French team in the semi-finals arrange.

No one knew that such an arrangement was formed under Wang Xiao's careful planning and a little bit of luck, but it's still great to be able to sit on the mountain and watch the US team and Spain fight desperately!

...

The lineup of the Spanish men's basketball team participating in the Rio Olympics is not the strongest lineup in history. Both Gasol and Ibaka withdrew from the Olympics due to injuries. The withdrawal of these two powerful insiders also greatly damaged the strength of the Spanish men's basketball team. .

But even so, led by Pau Gasol, the Spanish men's basketball team composed of four NBA players Rubio, Calderon, and Mirotic is still the top team in strength second only to the US team.

Of course, what I'm talking about here is not counting the Huaxia men's basketball team.

Today's Huaxia men's basketball team is no longer comparable to what it used to be. Five NBA players, including two NBA champions, two top five picks in the first round, and even Yi Jianlian was the sixth pick in the first round of the draft. I am afraid that only the US team can beat the Huaxia men's basketball team in this regard.

...

On August 20, the semi-finals began, and the first match was the match between the US team and Spain.

As most people think, this is an extremely fierce battle between dragons and tigers.

In the first quarter of the game, the two teams scored 26:17. The US men's basketball team caught Spain by surprise by relying on its strong personal ability. But in the second quarter, Spain quickly adjusted its state and tactics, and returned the US team to a score of 24:19. At the end of the half, the score between the two teams was 45:41, and Spain was only 4 points behind the US team.

In the third quarter, the two teams were evenly matched. At 20:18, the US team won another 2 points, and the point difference became 6 points.

In the last quarter of the game, Spain's defensive strength was raised to the extreme. Both James' and Durant's offenses continued to be deflated at the last minute, and the score was once tied by Spain.

The hearts of the American audience couldn't help hanging up.

It's okay to lose to the Huaxia Men's Basketball Team in the group stage, this is the semifinals! If you lose to Spain here, you will be eliminated directly!

If the American Dream Team wins another bronze medal in the Olympics, it will be shamed!

At this moment, the eyes of the players of the American men's basketball team were a little red, and they all began to fight for their lives.

Facts have proved that once the top MVP-level superstars like James and Durant are red-eyed, the lethality is still too great.

At the critical moment, the American team scored consecutively to stabilize the situation. In the final fourth quarter, the scores of the two teams were 23:20. Spain won by 3 points in a single quarter, but after the whole game, the scores of the two teams were 1. 85:82, the US team defeated Spain by 3 points and advanced to the final.

Huaxia fans are somewhat disappointed with this result. If the opponent in the final is Spain, it will definitely be easier for the Huaxia men's basketball team to deal with.

But Wang Xiao couldn't help raising his eyebrows while watching the game.

There is no harm if there is no comparison. The US team also played against Spain. He unexpectedly discovered that in another time and space, the US team did not seem to be so difficult and thrilling to win.

In his memory, it seems that the US team won the game 82:76, and maintained a lead of at least 6 points throughout the whole process.

Although such a lead is already very small for the US team, it is still much better than the situation in the current game.

There is only one reason for this...

Wang Xiao's eyes locked on a player of the US team.

LeBron James.

As the biggest player on the US team, even Durant, who just won the championship with the team, is slightly inferior to James.

On the court, James' ball holding time and times have always been the highest in the US team.

"As expected..."

James is very strong, and few people in the entire NBA can match it. This is an indisputable fact, but no matter how strong a player is, he still has flaws.

James' flaws are also obvious, free throws and three-pointers are not stable enough.

In the NBA, relying on his tyrannical physical fitness, these two points can be concealed as much as possible, but not in the international arena. The reason is very simple, because there is no three-second zone in the international arena.
