Being surrounded by opponents and signing autographs after the game... is very new.

Liu Xiu heard the other party say "Beat USA" when they hugged and took a photo, and suddenly realized that he seemed to be regarded as the leader of international basketball against American basketball!

This seems to have been said before, but it is not popular among fans.

Fan groups are in opposition. In the international arena, fans of insiders, Scola, Gasol, Yao Ming, and Nowitzki are dissatisfied with each other. Liu Xiu’s competitors also include Ginobili, Spanoulis, and Navarro.

,Arroyo...et al.

The Chinese team, the Spanish team, the Argentinian team, and the Greek team also refused to accept anyone. The four teams have a common characteristic - they defeated the Dream Team.

But teams other than the major championship contenders believe that the Chinese team is the one with the best chance of completing the cause of resisting the United States.

After taking a group photo, Liu Xiu rolled his eyes when he went back to the dressing room to take a shower.

After being promoted to a higher level, the pressure actually comes from being promoted.

Accidentally, I have betrayed the expectations of so many people.

At night, the American team defeated the German team 116-87, winning easily.

When the American team reached the finals, even if they were playing fourth place in Group B, they acted as if they were playing in the finals, trying their best to avoid any possibility of being upset.

After failing to win a medal in three consecutive world championships, they cannot afford to lose.

In the last game of the quarterfinals, Spain VS Lithuania, Gasol had 19 points, 17 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 blocks, Fernandez had 17 points, Rubio had 3 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 steals, and Calderon had 4 triples in a single game.

Scored 12 points and 3 assists... Spain narrowly defeated Lithuania 81-76 to advance to the semi-finals!

Watching the American team beat their opponents and advance easily with just one effort, watching the Chinese team advance steadily without much effort, jealousy made Diamond and his sister-in-law's faces distort...

The difference in difficulty of promotion is also quite large!

Both of their teams fought against opponents who used hard-hitting tactics and were masters of hand-to-hand combat. They won by only a few points, and they didn't dare to let up in the slightest until the last few dozen seconds.

Since the four advanced teams are all the top two in the group, they will have a day off tomorrow. The US team and the Spanish team will start a semi-final showdown at 2 pm on the 22nd. The match between the Chinese team and the Argentine team will start at 4:30 pm.

…

"Master, good results are good. I heard from people in the past that at that time, the day before the competition, they had to train and show their efforts to the people above. Before the competition, they were already exhausted from those annoying things.

The head coach doesn't dare to disobey them at all, and now they don't even dare to give a shit when you say you have an afternoon off..."

On the morning of the 21st, the Chinese team conducted preparatory training and took a break in the afternoon. The three apprentices followed Liu Xiu to the Wukesong Gymnasium again to watch the women's basketball game at 2 o'clock.

Zhu Fangyu kept chattering all the time. At this time, Du Feng and Yi Jianlian really admired the master for being able to endure the second child's nonsense.

But it seems that Master is also a talkative person...

When a group of four people came to the player viewing area on the court, there were bursts of cheers. The women's basketball players who were preparing for the game heard the sound and looked around. When they saw Liu Xiu and others, they also cheered excitedly.

The women's basketball team members were very happy. They also went to the men's basketball game yesterday to watch the game. They just shouted from the sidelines and asked Liu Xiu if they could come to watch the game today. At that time, Liu Xiu said "Okay". They thought Liu Xiu

Just to be polite, I didn’t take it seriously, I didn’t expect it to actually come!

The morale of the women's basketball players has been greatly boosted, and the shock of losing in the semifinals the day before yesterday has been wiped away!

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the bronze medal match between the Chinese team and the Russian team began.

The game ended after 1 hour and 46 minutes.

Chen Nan broke out and scored a game-high 29 points, coupled with Miao Lijie's 16 points and 5 assists, and Bian Lan's 17 points and 9 rebounds... The Chinese team completed a big comeback from being 13 points behind at halftime, winning 94-94.

88 narrowly defeated the Russian team and won another Olympic medal after 16 years!

The last time the Chinese women's basketball team won an Olympic medal was at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, when they won the best silver medal in team history.

After the competition, Liu Xiu and the three apprentices were invited to take a group photo.

In an interview, Liu Xiu said: "I am lucky to see such a wonderful game, but they are putting pressure on us..."

…

On the afternoon of August 22, those who followed the Olympic Games were all focused on the men’s basketball semifinals.

There are no other attractive events this afternoon... The men's table tennis quarter-finals are considered a popular competition in China, but the Chinese team's player is Wang Hao. In the end, it just depends on whether the score is 4-0 or 4-1.

At two o'clock, the game between the American team and the Spanish team started.

As always, the US team started fiercely, attacking and defending together!

Wade, who came off the bench, scored 13 points in the second half of the first quarter. The US team scored 38 points in the first quarter!

But the U.S. team's lead is not big. They defended very well. However, the U.S. team was well prepared and had similar game experience. They also tried their best to play team offense from the beginning. Just because the U.S. team defended very well does not mean that it failed to defend the Spanish team.

Scored 34 points in the first quarter.

The US team's lead in the first quarter was only 4 points!

The players of the US team, which has been unfavorable since the start of the Olympics, were quite surprised.

In the second quarter, the Spanish team even scored 31 to 30. After halftime, the Spanish team narrowed the point difference to 3 points!

After returning from the intermission, the offensive performance of both teams declined. Both teams began to shrink and block the middle. Janeway could not score points at this time. Both teams put on solid offensive and defensive lineups. The American team won a small victory in this quarter.

The score was 22 to 20. After three quarters, the score difference came to 5 points!

The U.S. team finally had a clear lead, but at the beginning of the final quarter, Navarro scored consecutively on Wade, a three-pointer, two 2+1s, and two three-pointers from the wing to Calderon.

After the hit, the Spanish team scored 15-5 and led the American team by 5 points 100-95.

The U.S. team called a timeout and replaced the combination of Kidd, Deron, Kobe, Anthony, and Kwame Brown.

First, Kobe Bryant hit a mid-range shot in a single, then Deron and Kwame Brown blocked the ball for Kidd to hit a three-pointer. Then Kobe stole the ball and counterattacked and chased for a three-pointer. Anthony rushed to grab the offensive rebound without a second attempt.

The offense went to the top of the arc, Kobe caught the ball and shot again... and it went in!

The American team went on an 8-0 run and regained the initiative 103-100.

Later, relying on the defensive combination of Kidd, Kobe, and Kwame Brown, the U.S. team firmly contained the Spanish team's offense. At the same time, the U.S. team's own offense relied on the trident of Deron, Kobe, and Anthony, and Kidd's

He took control and played very well. He scored another 15-9, steadily suppressing the Spanish team and not giving the Spanish team any chance to counterattack.

In the end, with Wade's 27 points, Kobe's 20 points, 9 rebounds and 3 assists, and Deron's 17 points and 6 assists... the U.S. team narrowly defeated the Spanish team 118-109 and advanced to the finals first!

…

The Chinese team and the Argentine team came to the scene early and watched the last quarter of the game.

When Navarro led his team to counterattack to a climax, the players from both teams who were watching stretched their necks, and some even started cheering.

I don't know if the Spanish team will hate them after the game. Kobe's expression at that time was extremely disgusting, as if he met someone who owed him money, and he was extremely ruthless on both offense and defense.

But there was nothing we could do. At that time, everyone thought the American team was going to be overturned.

Both teams watching were confident that they could reach the finals and play Spain. Who the hell wanted to play the United States?

It's a pity that Angel City's fantasy backcourt is too ferocious.

At the end of the first semi-final, the Chinese team and Argentina team re-activated their bodies on the spot. They had already completed the warm-up and re-activated their muscles and joints.

The players from the U.S. and Spanish teams did not leave either. They came to the outside to wipe off their sweat and put on their training clothes, and watched on the spot.

The American team observed their opponents in the final. Although the Spanish team did not advance to the final, they still had a bronze medal to compete for. They were very frustrated and unwilling to lose, but they were professionals. They collected their emotions and studied the next opponent.

In order to retaliate against Liu Xiu for cheering for the Spanish team just now, Anthony, Kobe Bryant, and Kwame Brown cheered loudly for the Argentine team from the sidelines.

Liu Xiu returned the look of fool, ignored them, and concentrated on preparing for the battle.

Dozens of minutes later, a new group of fans changed, but there was not much difference. When the Chinese team players entered the stadium just now, the previous group of fans had already started cheering, and now it was just a new group of fans cheering.

As the game approached, the atmosphere at the scene became increasingly fanatical, making Ginobili feel like he was playing an away game in Portland... No! This fanaticism is even more intense!

These people do not regard them as opponents, but as... enemies?

Ginobili has never been on the battlefield, but this atmosphere makes him feel like he is going to the battlefield, and he is fighting alone against more than 18,000 people in the audience... No!

Ginobili looked at Scola, Delfino, Oberto, Prigioni, Gonzalez... He was not alone.

As the pressure came, a surge of pride also emerged in Ginobili's heart - to conquer this ancient Eastern country!

In the world of basketball.

Ginobili's pride was conveyed to Liu Xiu through his sharp eyes.

At this moment, Liu Xiu felt that he was shouldering the honor of his motherland!

He opened the system panel and after watching the women's basketball bronze medal match yesterday, a task was triggered.

"Medal Pressure: National Team Exclusive Mission.

Goal: Win a medal in men’s basketball at this Olympics.

Reward: Victory Baseball Cap.

Victory Baseball Cap: After the host wears it, he goes to watch other competitions of the Chinese delegation. The athlete will be inspired and his confidence will be improved.

Note: 1. Inspiration and confidence will not make a person's ability stronger, but will make him less likely to perform abnormally; 2. Use with caution, athletes who are already highly confident may be overconfident after being inspired."

It is not appropriate to wear this hat when going to watch the game of Universe Dan. However, the final between Universe Dan and Li Zongwei ended yesterday. At that time, he went to watch the women's basketball game and did not have time to go...Liu Xiu suddenly realized that he had gone astray.

Quickly withdraw your attention.

I haven’t received this reward yet.
To be continued...
