In the afternoon, Nowitzki kept talking because he was worried that Liu Xiu would ask questions in this regard.

Now he was ready to turn on the chatterbox mode, but this guy discovered the problem as soon as they met...

But seeing Anne Hathaway trying to stop Liu Xiu from asking questions, Nowitzki knew that if he didn't tell her, she would tell Liu Xiu after they parted ways.

Nowitzki called the two of them into the arena and went to the unused training field to express his sorrow.

To put it simply, he was cheated on by his ex-girlfriend.

His friends on the NFL Cowboys told him that his girlfriend had cheated on him, but he didn't believe it.

His teammates told him that his girlfriend was hooking up with his teammates while he was away, but he didn't believe it.

His parents felt that his girlfriend was insincere and full of lies, so he assured them again and again that there was nothing wrong with his girlfriend.

Cuban told him directly to get rid of his girlfriend, and he strongly opposed it.

Then, his girlfriend told him that she was pregnant, and he believed her and bought her a house. Fortunately, the real estate agent was a fan of his, so she kept an eye on it, and the gift was given to the "child who is about to be born."

Before the gift is completed, the property still belongs to his name.

Just during this year's playoffs, he discovered something.

Everything his friends, teammates, boss, and family members said was true, but his girlfriend’s pregnancy was false...

At first, Nowitzki just wanted to simply brush it off, but ended up crying as he spoke, getting out of control and venting all his sadness and grievances.

It's just that he didn't get the comfort he imagined...

King Silver Horn wiped away his tears and shouted: "Warden, were you laughing at me just now?"

"No!"

"I don't believe it, I saw the corners of your mouth turned up!"

"I was born with a smile on my face."

"real?"

"Fake, you are so easy to lie, hahahaha..."

"..."

King Silver Horn feels like he has angina!

But, after telling everything once and getting angry again, he felt that the sadness, grievance, unwillingness, and shame that were pressing in his heart... were mostly dissipated.

He looked at Liu Xiu, who finally couldn't hold back his laughter, and Anne Hathaway, who couldn't help laughing. He didn't know whether he should say thank you.

He guessed that the warden wanted to enlighten him specifically?

Nowitzki was struggling, Liu Xiu looked at the time, pulled Anne Hathaway and left: "The game is about to start, let's go!"

The ignored King Silver Horn put away his gratitude. He was now sure that this guy was just laughing at him!

But now that I feel better, I'll forgive this hateful guy one more time.

…

Liu Xiu came to the athletes' viewing area. He was not the only one from the Chinese team, but all his teammates were here.

The game between the United States and Argentina started on time at 8 o'clock in the evening. After the first quarter, Liu Xiu's pressure increased sharply, and Nowitzki looked desperate.

In the first quarter, the U.S. team continued their brutal offense, scoring 30 points in the first quarter. The most important thing was that they were also brutal on the defensive end, preventing Argentina from scoring only 11 points!

This seemed too brutal and shocking, and it gave Nowitzki an even crazier feeling than when the Chinese team scored 42 points in the first quarter against Spain in the group stage.

The Chinese team failed to guard the Spanish team that time, scoring 42 points and only leading by 9 points. The American team defeated the defending champion Argentina by 19 points in the first quarter!

In the end, the U.S. team defeated the Argentina team without any blood, 101-81, advancing to the quarterfinals with 5 wins and 0 losses.

Liu Xiu sent Anne Hathaway home and then returned to the Olympic Village to discuss the performance of the US team with her teammates.

Liu Xiu analyzed: "The U.S. team started very fiercely. To beat them, we need to withstand their impact in the early stage. When it comes to the stalemate stage, they don't play well. When Paul, James, and Wade are the main attackers, do they perform well?

We can only watch how the three of them play. Paul is more difficult to deal with, but James and Wade are not good when their opponents emphasize protecting the rim.

They played against Argentina and led by 19 points in the first quarter, but in the second quarter James and Wade assisted. Despite their high shooting percentage, the US team only had 22 points in the second quarter, and Argentina scored 29 points. In the third quarter, the US team

There were only 20 points, and Argentina had 24 points.

However, Old K only used James and Wade as sudden scorers. In the first quarter, the American team had an advantage. If they could withstand the opponent's counterattack, they would have completed the task.

In the fourth quarter, the combination of Kidd, Kobe, Prince, Anthony, and Kwame Brown came on the court, and they defeated Argentina 29-17 in a single quarter..."

Listening to Liu Xiu's analysis, the pressure on the teammates was reduced a lot.

It seems that the American team is not invulnerable.

However, Liu Xiu is still under a lot of pressure, but he enjoys the pressure from the competition.

He said that James is just a sudden scorer. This statement is a bit ugly, but James' role in Mengba is the starting lineup's arrow to attack the opponent's forward defense. Wade is the sixth man on the bench to provide fire support. The two of them are at critical moments.

It doesn't work, but which team will put the burden of critical moments on the offensive arrow and sixth man?

These two people have completed the tasks assigned by the old coach K to the extreme.

The American team lacks the ability to attack inside, but they have the most terrifying outside firepower and mid-range singles.

At the critical moment, Kidd steadily received the ball for three-pointers, sorted out the ball, and paired with Kobe and Anthony, as well as Kwame Brown who could help support and shoot mid-range shots, he was simply invincible.

If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have paid so much attention to cultivating the parallel No. 1 pick. God knows this guy has been useless with the Wizards for three years and still has so many talents that can be tapped.

But don’t worry too much for now, we won’t meet the US team in the quarterfinals, we’ll wait until then.

The Puerto Rican team did not enter the Olympics this time, which made Liu Xiu a little regretful...

…

In the last game, the Lithuanian team easily defeated the Croatian team, and all the group stage matches were completed.

Teams advancing from Group A: The United States is first, Argentina is second, Lithuania is third, and Croatia is fourth.

Iran and Angola are eliminated.

The teams that advance from Group B: China is first, Spain is second, Greece is third, and Germany is fourth.

Australia and Russia are out.

After the promotion list came out, the Russian team sparked heated discussions.

Watching the Russian team’s game, I feel that the Russian team is not weak either. It requires stars and stars, tactics and tactics, and tacit understanding... But no one can beat it. When the stars are needed to stand up and score, they need to continuously attack or defend.

, they become soft.

Early the next morning, the Chinese team began preparations for the match against the Croatian team.

During the training, the staff sent me the timetable for tomorrow's game.

Liu Xiu took a look at the game schedule.

Argentina plays Greece at 9 a.m.

Liu Xiu estimates that the Greek team will be very angry about this arrangement. This is purely to accommodate the Argentine fans.

But there is no other way. Compared to Greece, the basketball market in Argentina is much better. Moreover, although people in Argentina do not have much savings, they are willing to spend money if they have it.

The Greeks now have no savings and are reluctant to spend the money they have earned...the country is almost bankrupt.

The match between the Chinese team and the Croatian team starts at 3:30 in the afternoon.

Liu Xiu thinks this time is better than the prime time at 8pm.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, prime time, if you are a married male fan, it is difficult to grab the remote control from your wife. In recent years, Kimchi cancer car accidents have been rampant...

It is arranged in the afternoon when school is about to end (get off work), and I don’t know how many people have to skip school (skip work).

At 8 p.m., the United States will play Germany, and at 10:15 p.m., Spain will play Lithuania.

On August 20th, the first competition day of the finals came.

Liu Xiu didn't go to watch the match between Argentina and Greece at 9 o'clock in the morning. They were still making final preparations before the game. Anyway, the last news they got was that the two teams were about to start a fight. They were really about to start a fight.

In the end, the Argentine team relied on Scola's 29 points in a single game to defeat the Greek team 59-55 and advance to the semi-finals in a thrilling manner.

Liu Xiu had some regrets. According to the rules, if the Greek team won, the American team's opponent in the semi-finals would be the Greek team, allowing them to taste the fighting power of the Spartans.

But in that case, according to the rules, his side would have to play the winner of the Spanish team or the Lithuanian team...Liu Xiu felt that neither of them would be easy to win.

But it’s not easy for the semi-finals to play Argentina…

When there are only 4 teams left, it seems difficult to beat anyone.

Thinking of this, Liu Xiu relaxed and didn't hit anyone he hit.

As soon as 11 o'clock arrived, the Chinese team served lunch.

Liu Xiu wanted to say that he didn't need to accommodate him in this regard, but everyone was willing to give him enough time to take a nap for an hour, and he couldn't say no.

It wasn't a big deal anyway, so he chose to enjoy this little preferential treatment.

At 3:30 in the afternoon, the match between the Chinese team and the Croatian team started.

The Chinese team strictly implemented the established strategy - go all out, play steadily, and defeat the Croatian team with dignity and strength.
