MTL - NBA Opening Draw To Twilight Shaquille O’Neal-v2 Chapter 971 Top 4 released
Chapter 975
Really top four?
The men's basketball team is really in the semi-finals!
The Tianchao fans at the scene once again turned their attention to the scoreboard, which showed 107:89. The Tianchao men's basketball team finally ushered in the day of reaching the semi-finals of the Olympic Games!
At this moment, the fans at the scene were completely boiling, and many people had tears in their eyes.
Regardless of how the next game is played, the performance of the men's basketball team in this Olympic Games has already satisfied everyone.
Especially those older fans, once every four years they will firmly watch the men's basketball game in front of the TV, but in return for repeated expectations, they are disappointed and lonely again and again...
But this time, when the news that the men's basketball team reached the semi-finals came back to China, they finally had no disappointment and loneliness on their faces, but only relief and excitement!
You know, in the past, the men's basketball team occasionally made it to the quarterfinals, which was enough to keep them excited for a whole summer, or even for several years.
This year, the Tianchao men's basketball team has really made a historic breakthrough, and it is the first time that it is so close to the Olympic medal.
At this moment, as a Chinese basketball fan, I feel unprecedented happiness!
At this moment, as the Chinese men's basketball players on the court, they are so proud when they hold their heads up!
"The five-star red flag flutters in the wind, how resounding is the song of victory..."
I don't know who started it first. This song, which is well-known in China, is flying in the sky of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
The players of the Tianchao team were still celebrating on the court, but when they heard the singing, they stopped their movements one after another, raised their heads full of tears, looked at the Chinese fans around, and sang together in unison.
The Chinese team was celebrating, while on the other side of the field, the Argentine players looked a little lonely as they hugged each other.
Missing the semi-finals of the Rio Olympics, for the last few members of Argentina's golden generation, this ending is not perfect.
When the Chinese team and the Chinese fans at the scene gave up the song, the Argentine fans in the stands were suddenly topless, jumping and singing. This group of singers from the Pampas Plateau were singing to the greatest generation in the history of Argentine basketball. Players farewell.
Everything is done. When the Argentine team stopped in the quarter-finals, the golden generation of Argentine basketball also began to bid farewell collectively.
Ginobili, Nocioni, Delnofi and other players have already planned to announce their retirement from the national team after the Olympic Games.
The fans on the sidelines celebrated or sang praises, and on the field, players from the two teams shook hands for the last time.
It is regrettable to lose, but for Ginobili, losing to Wang Zelin is a more acceptable way to end the game.
"I will stay in Rio, come on, king, I hope the champion will beat us!"
When hugging and parting, Ginobili said with a smile.
The following depths can no longer be changed. Although there are regrets, he doesn't want to think about it anymore. He chooses to pin the last bit of obsession and regret on Wang Zelin.
If the Tianchao team really wins in the end, it can be said that Argentina lost to the Olympic champion this year. In that case, it is not unacceptable.
Wang Zelin nodded.
"I will stand on the final podium, just like you back then." He first replied with a serious face, then suddenly stretched out his claws, rubbed the demon knife's head and said, "Goodbye, Manu!"
"See you in the NBA!"
Ginobili was taken aback for a moment, then nodded with a smile and turned to leave.
…
In the studio at the back of the court station, Yu Jia said with emotion: "The regrets of generations of basketball players, and the expectations of generations of basketball players, have finally come true today!"
Zhang Lili next to him burst into tears with excitement and was speechless for a long time. As the national player of the Chinese men's basketball team in the last century, he has witnessed the growth and ending of generations of Chinese basketball players, and he is also very aware of the gap between the Chinese men's basketball team and the world's top teams.
I still remember that before the Olympic Games, Wang Zelin, the leader of this generation of men’s basketball team, shouted the slogan “This year, I will not be a foil”. have the same opinion.
Unexpectedly, Wang Zelin really fulfilled his promise, and the men's basketball team really broke history.
The entire building of the Imperial TV station was filled with joy, and the hosts and journalists of each column team were happier than in the New Year. Everyone was happy that the Chinese men's basketball team had made history.
The last time the entire imperial court building could explode in an instant was back in 2001 when national football striker Yu Genwei scored a priceless goal that helped the national football team enter the World Cup for the first time in history.
All domestic social networks have already exploded. The news that the men's basketball team broke into the semi-finals of the Olympic Games quickly became the hottest topic on the bib, and the second topic on the bib was "The King is mighty!", and the third topic was "The King NB!" , the fourth topic is "I want to give birth to monkeys for Wang Zelin"...
Chaotingtai officially released a scarf called "Sword Pointing to Rio". Various official media immediately came to help out, and many entertainment stars also came here smelling the smell, and forwarded this Weibo of Chaotingtai one after another.
On this day, no one can take away the enthusiasm of the Tianchao men's basketball team.
"As a Chinese basketball player, I am extremely eager for us to stand on the podium this year!"
Wang Zelin, who scored 44 points, 18 rebounds, and 14 assists in the quarter-finals, said confidently in an interview after the game.
Wang Zelin's post-match declaration was too domineering in the eyes of the Chinese reporters!
After the Chinese team defeated Argentina, the official website of the Asian Basketball Federation also played the slogan "Glorious Asia" to offer blessings to the men's basketball team.
At the same time, the fans and the media of the Great Cold Nether Kingdom were secretly thinking, how to prove once again that Wang Zelin has the blood of the Great Cold Nether Kingdom?
…
On the opposite side of South America, the people of Miriam were also deeply shocked by Wang Zelin's performance in this Olympic Games.
After 6 games in the Rio Olympics, he averaged 43.7 points per game, successfully surpassing the ancient **** Oscar Mister, who scored the highest score in Olympic history with an average of 42.3 points per game in the 1988 Seoul Olympics!
In the true sense of the word, the sky is blown up.
I don’t know that, but Wang Zelin’s other statistics are also amazing, averaging 19.2 rebounds per game, 13.3 assists per game, 6.8 blocks per game, 3.3 steals per game, and the miracle of five consecutive triple-doubles in the Olympic Games for the first time...
Judging from the performance of the five major forces, Wang Zelin's dominance in this Olympic Games can be said to be unprecedented and unprecedented.
"Wang completely changed my perception of basketball! A seven-foot point guard is so weird!"
"With all due respect, whether in the NBA or in the international arena, Wang is always the omnipotent God of War!"
"Thanks to Wang Zelin's appearance, I clearly realized how terrifying a big shark O'Neal who can shoot is."
"Shaquille O'Neal who can shoot? It seems to be true!"
"Breakthrough, frame attack, skyhook, mid-range...even the three-point shot has been practiced. I really don't know what else Wang Zelin can't do."
"Like...have a baby?"
"Ahem, pay attention to the influence upstairs, we are a serious social networking site, don't just drive around."
"I often fail to integrate into you because I don't vote for BT."
Sure enough, sand sculptures are regardless of nationality.
…
After the match between China and Argentina, another matchup on the 18th started soon.
Wang Zelin and his teammates celebrated in the locker room group. After taking a shower, they ate two bananas to deal with it casually, and then returned to the arena... the auditorium.
In the second game, the Spanish team VS the Kangaroo National Team.
The leaders of the Spanish men's basketball team are still the big and small Gasol brothers, and the rest of the players are all good. They have always been the traditional European powerhouses and their overall strength is quite strong.
On the Kangaroo Country side, although the overall strength may be slightly inferior, their style is daring to fight and dare to fight... Ahem, dare to fight and dare to fight in the literal sense.
As many people expected, this game cannot be fierce and intense, it should be tragic.
As the game progressed, the physical collisions between the two sides became more and more serious, and the players' anger was also blown out. Entering the second half, crutches, elbows, black feet...
In order to win, both sides resorted to 18 kinds of martial arts, in addition to normal means, there are quite a lot of outside moves.
At the end of the quarter, some people even saw blood on the court. A substitute insider of the Kangaroo National Men's Basketball Team accidentally photographed the face of a Spanish defender when he was defending against his face, causing the bridge of his nose to break and bleeding on the spot.
If the referee hadn't stopped it in time, the two sides probably would have staged a real-life PK.
In the end, the Spanish team relied on the perfect cooperation of the big and small Pau Gaso in the penalty area to attack and defend, and led the national team with a 78:71 victory, won the battle like a meat grinder, and successfully advanced to the semi-finals.
In this Olympic Games, apart from the history-breaking Chinese team, the performance of the Spanish team was as steady as ever. Although they advanced to the second place in the group, they still played the demeanor of a world-class team in the knockout stage.
After successfully advancing to the semi-finals, the Spanish team quickly appeared in the eyes of many people. Judging from the lineup, the Spanish team does have the possibility of defeating the dream team.
On August 19, the Tianchao team took a day off.
In addition to normal training, they also went to the scene to watch the other two final four games today.
The third quarterfinal match was between the U.S. team and the Croatian team. There was almost no suspense in the game. No one thought that the Croatian teammates could do better than the U.S. Dream Team 12.
The game started quickly, and the process of the game was similar to what the outside world predicted.
The leader of the Croatian men's basketball team is the active NBA player Bojan Bokdanovic, plus potential newcomers Saric and Hezonia.
Their record in the group stage is actually the same as that of the Argentine team, but because of the fourth place in the match record, they barely stepped on the line to break through the group stage, but this also proved their strength from the side.
It's just that they were too unlucky to meet the Dream Team...even if this year's Dream Team 12 is known as the weakest Dream Team in history.
The Dream Team Twelve, who had stumbled through the group stage, quickly revealed their bloodthirsty instincts when they reached the knockout stage.
After the first quarter, the Dream Team led the opponent by 11 points;
At halftime, the Dream Team led by 24 points;
Entering the second half, the Dream Team still had no intention of showing mercy. They were all-star lineups with their eyes closed, and quickly set off wave after wave of offense on the court;
At the end of the game, the Dream Team scored the highest single-game score in this Olympic Games—155 points!
Most likely, they were stimulated by the media and public opinion. After all, no one wants to be called the "weakest dream team in history". In order to counter these ridiculous remarks, they chose to make an example of others.
Unfortunately, the Croatian team just hit the muzzle and met the dream team who was full of anger and urgently needed to vent.
At 155:88, the Dream Team beat the Croatian team by 67 points in the third round of the quarterfinals, creating the largest single-game point difference in the Olympic Games.
After this game, the Dream 12 team's face was saved to a certain extent, but many people still questioned the gold content of this game.
Who made the Croatian team only fourth in Group B? The Dream 12 team wants to prove their dominance, and they still need to play a more convincing performance against stronger opponents.
In the afternoon, the last quarter-finals game started, with the Lithuanian team playing against the French team. The two sides competed for the last place in the semi-finals.
Both sides are old and powerful teams in international competitions, and both are European powerhouses. The former head coach of the Chinese men's basketball team, Jonas, is from Lithuania.
The biggest difference between the two teams may be that the players of the Lithuanian team are relatively young, while the players of the French team are a bit older.
Especially Tony Parker, the tactical core of the French team, as a member of the Spurs GDP, the small French sports car that was in its prime at the time was no match for the time and turned into an old sports car.
In addition, the Argentine team suffered a reversal from the Chinese team in the last quarter yesterday. Ginobili bid farewell to his national team career after the game. While many French fans cast sympathetic eyes, they also looked at the core of the French team Parker with worry in their eyes.
I hope he will never be influenced by his old teammates in the NBA, and he must play well!
After the game started, the two sides exchanged firepower in the first half, and it was inseparable for a while.
After entering the second half, the scores of the two sides rose alternately. No one can say for sure, who will have the last laugh between the French team and the Lithuanian team.
Until the last three minutes, the French team and the Lithuanian team were tied at 75:75. After the French team coach called a timeout, the old French sports car that returned to the field seemed to have replaced a new engine~www.novelbuddy.com ~ Started to run wantonly on the field, tearing the defense of the Lithuanian men's basketball team time and time again.
Relying on Parker's superstar-like performance in the last three minutes, he scored 6 points personally. The French team successfully opened the score at a critical moment and beat Lithuania with 85:83 four points.
Since then, all the top four teams of this Olympic Games have been released. According to the promotion time, they are the Chinese team, the Spanish team, the US team and the French team.
According to the rules of the Olympic men's basketball competition, the top two in the same group and the first in the group will avoid the semi-finals, and the four teams will play against each other as follows:
The A2vsB3 winner plays against the B1vsA4 winner, and the B2vsA3 winner plays against the A1vsB4 winner.
That is, the semi-finals will be against the Chinese team against the French team, and the Spanish team against the Dream Team.
After the duel between the two groups, the winning team will compete for the championship and runner-up, while the losing team will compete for the third and fourth bronze medals.
Whether the men's basketball team can make further progress, and whether Wang Zelin can realize his deep ambition for the gold medal depends on the last two games.
