NBA backer king

Chapter 389

Chapter 389

On the second day of the opening ceremony, the men's basketball team ushered in the first group match against Angola.

Angola is the champion of Africa. The players on this team are physically strong. Most of the players have a history of playing in the United States. They are not weak, but a little weaker than other teams.

Lao Wang didn't play in the first half, and the two teams were tied. After he played in the second half, he gained the upper hand. In the end, he beat his opponent by 71 points 84:13 and won the first group match.

The second game was against Croatia. This is an absolutely strong European team. The average height is astonishing, exceeding 206 centimeters.

Lao Wang played from the beginning, but still lost to his opponent in the end, 94:100, losing 6 points.

老王打了35分钟，拿到了32分13篮板4助攻1抢断3盖帽4失误4犯规的数据，命中率55%，对他来说并不算高，只能说一般。

There are a lot of fouls, including two offensive fouls. I am used to playing in the NBA, but I am not used to the rules of international basketball, and my actions are a bit big.

Now the NBA has set up three seconds of defense, but international basketball does not. He is frequently double-teamed in the penalty area, and the opponents are all big men. There are two players with a height of 210 cm or more on the field, and the small forwards are both 208 cm, which seriously affects his efficiency.

In fact, his efficiency is not low, but in this game, Croatia directly exploded in three-pointers, making 35 of 17 shots, and the shooting rate reached a terrifying 48.5%, which is equivalent to a 73% shooting rate in two-pointers.

The third game is Argentina. The original plan was to fight hard for this team and win Argentina in order to have a chance of qualifying.

In fact, Argentina is also a strong team. In the 94 Friendship Games, the Chinese team lost to their opponents by more than 20 points.

But now this Argentine team is not complete, it is a remnant team, some players come from the youth team, there is still hope to win.

The game against Argentina was on the 24th. After losing to Croatia on the morning of the 22nd, the game between Argentina and the United States was held in the afternoon. In order to observe the strength of Argentina, the whole men's basketball team went to the arena to watch the game.

This look made the men's basketball team a little nervous from top to bottom.

Because this Argentine team is not weak. Although they lost to the United States with a big score of 68:96, they played with great morale and full of energy during the process. The strength they showed put a lot of pressure on the men's basketball team.

CCTV commentator Zhang Lili said on the spot that if Wang Tiejun's combat power was not counted, the original men's basketball team might have lost more than Argentina against the US team.

The pressure on the basketball department is great. If you can't win Argentina, it will be dangerous to qualify. As soon as Liu Yuchu returned to the Olympic Village, he called a meeting with the coaching staff and players.

The Sports Committee attaches great importance to group events, especially big ball games, and sent people down to attend this meeting, and the one sent was Director Yuan.

After the leaders boosted their morale, everyone began to discuss the Argentine opponent.

"Tie Jun, what do you think?" When listening to the players' opinions, Jiang Xinquan first asked Lao Wang.

Lao Wang has never figured out why Argentina is so nervous up and down. Is Argentina really strong?

Judging from the situation of the game just now, Argentina is not as strong as Croatia in three-point shooting, and even Croatia cannot shoot so accurately every three-point shooting. The Chinese team is just unlucky. If we meet again, who might lose?

As for their main center forward, he was injured in the game just now. Argentina, which is already a crippled team and has lost its main center forward, can stop the Chinese team?

He said nonchalantly: "Unless they can kill us with a three-pointer like Croatia, we will win."

Everyone was stunned, even Director Yuan stared at him.

"Ahem, Director Yuan, what are you looking at me for?" He asked a little embarrassed.

Director Yuan couldn't say anything. He had just obtained a sum of dollars from Wang Tiejun. The so-called short-handed and soft-spoken, he hesitated and said, "Tiejun, be serious and don't talk big. How confident are you in fighting Argentina?"

"Tie Jun, don't be joking." Liu Yumin reminded in a low voice.

"No kidding, their strength is not as good as ours, and they don't have a main center forward, so we should be able to beat them."

Lao Wang said something with confidence, and then turned to Dazhi and Hu Weidong and shouted: "Hey, brothers, I said that if I can beat Argentina, then I can do it, don't you think so?"

"Yes, Brother Tie Jun is right." Da Zhi immediately agreed.

"Old K makes sense." Hu Weidong nodded quickly, and the others also joined in.

Director Yuan was a little confused about the purpose of his visit. Was he here to boost morale, or to suppress Wang Tiejun so that he wouldn't lead the men's basketball team away?

Director Gong hurriedly said at this time: "But they only lost 28 points against Team Dream Three."

"Isn't 28 points too much? That's a disastrous defeat!" Old Wang said in surprise.

Jiang Xinquan next to him gave Lao Wang an embarrassed look. You are looking for trouble with the old man, don't you know that I led the team to lose 55 points to the American Dream Team [-] in the World Championships last year?

Hu Weidong sat next to Old Wang, and poked him with his elbow under the table, signaling him not to talk too much, your words are poking the old man's heart.

A serious pre-tactical meeting was interrupted by Lao Wang's big talk. When Director Yuan finally left, he gave Lao Wang an order that Argentina could not be taken down.

On the 23rd, Mutombo called and told Lao Wang that the Georgetown basketball team had messaged him back and was willing to give Dayao an invitation letter.

"So easy?" He was a little surprised.

Mutombo laughed and said: "With your and my recommendations, do you think it is difficult?"

"Haha, well, you are right, Lao Mu, now you can go to my martial arts gym to eat young chickens anytime now, as long as you give my name." Old Wang laughed.

"OK, I won't eat less." Mutombo said happily.

On the 24th, the game against Argentina begins.

As a result, the Chinese team beat their opponents by 93 points with a score of 71:22 and won the second group match.

老王发威，在阿根廷的头上18投13中，命中率高达72%，14罚9中，轰下了35分13篮板4助攻5盖帽2失误3犯规的数据。

With two wins and one loss in the group stage, and Argentina and Angola having lost all three games, the Chinese team qualified ahead of time to qualify for the knockout round, completing the minimum goal of the Sports Commission, the top eight in the Olympics.

Next, on the 26th, the fourth group match, the men's basketball team will play against the United States.

According to the previous strategy, the game was voluntarily given up. Pharaoh only played for a symbolic 18 minutes and didn't contribute much.

He didn't make any effort, and O'Neal and Dameng didn't want to go up to tease him. Anyway, it was an unimportant group match, and everyone played well. Even if he was off the field and sat on the bench later, O'Neal and the others didn't attack the Chinese team's basket too presumptuously.

Especially on the defensive end, Hu Weidong benefited from this. He went in frequently, either flying dunks or layups. He scored 28 points in the game, won the reputation of China's Jordan, and attracted the attention of many NBA scouts.

"Director Jiang, is this person O'Neill?" Liu Yumin asked Jiang Xinquan.

"Yes, the nickname is Big Shark. I heard that he is the only character in the NBA who can compete with the Iron Army. He is called a giant beast, and his strength is very strong." Jiang Xinquan said.

Liu Yumin was puzzled and said: "In the 94 World Championships, I think he was even more violent than today. Our basket was almost torn off by him. Now he looks stronger than the year before. Why does he seem to have no energy in playing? There are other American players as well."

Jiang Xinquan thought for a while, pointed to Wang Tiejun and said, "I can't think of any other reason, maybe it's Tiejun? He didn't fight seriously, and neither did the Americans."

Liu Yumin was taken aback, and after thinking about it, it seemed like this. Apart from this reason, there was indeed no other reason.

In this game, the national team lost 19 points in the end, with two wins and two losses, and there is still the last group match left.

On the 28th, China will play against Litao Bowl.

Lao Wang didn't know the strength of this small country before, and thought he had a chance to win. Before the battle, he realized that this is a country with very strong basketball strength, and a team that can compete with Dream Team [-] and Dream Team [-].

In the 92 Olympics, the men's basketball team was also full of talents, but it was bloodbathed with a score of 75:112. That year Li Taowan won the Olympic bronze medal.

The most famous of this Litao Bowl team is Sabonis, who led the former Soviet Union team to overthrow the US team in 88. It is precisely because of this that the US was forced to form a dream team.

萨博尼斯去年以31岁的高龄刚刚加入NBA开拓者队，身高221公分，体重132公斤，新秀赛季14.5分8.1篮板1.8助攻0.9抢断1.1盖帽，表现依然不凡。

The disparity in strength was too great. The men's basketball coaching staff and the basketball department meant to give up this game and try again in the knockout round, but Lao Wang didn't agree.

On the 27th, the men's basketball team held a meeting.

"As long as the tactics are appropriate, our strength may not be inferior to them."

Lao Wang first gave his own attitude, and then reasoned. He said: "As long as I beat Sabonis in the penalty area and improve the offensive efficiency of the whole team, then on the defensive end we lock the penalty area, reduce their basket and low-post offense, strengthen the defense on the outside, prevent shots from rushing, and their three-point line cannot explode. We have the same chance of winning."

Anyway, he has already completed the task of the top eight. At his request, the higher-ups agreed to fight in this last group match. If he wins, his position in the knockout round will be better.

The men's basketball team has a meeting here, and the Litao bowl has a completely different attitude. They are relaxed, and no one takes the Chinese team seriously.

In the sport of basketball, the Litao Bowl has inherited the strength of the former Soviet Union. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, it has been called the king of Europe.

Even Sabonis, the core of the team, didn't take China * seriously. He knew the strength of old K, but he didn't think the overall strength of the Chinese team was so high.

During dinner, Litaowan came to the restaurant, just as a group of journalists from various countries were conducting interviews in the restaurant, and several European reporters immediately came to Litaowan's table, ready to interview them.

"Hey, Avidas."

"Hello."

But these reporters who came to interview only interviewed one person, and that was Sabonis, the roof of the world.

"Avidas, tomorrow's game against China, what do you think will be the result?" A Finnish reporter asked.

"How else? We are about to usher in a wild victory, haha!"

"If it weren't for the rubbish strength of Angola and Argentina, the Chinese team would have no chance to make it out of the group stage. They are just lucky."

Before Sabonis could speak, a group of proud Litaowan people expressed their views on the game and the Chinese team.

"Avidas, what's your opinion?" Several European reporters asked again.

Sabonis spread his hands on the dining room and said, "What else can I say? Old K is indeed very capable, but the Chinese team, do they have any outstanding records? No, so we will indeed usher in a big victory tomorrow night."

At this time, the Chinese team who had just finished the meeting also came to have dinner, and happened to enter this restaurant, and met their opponents tomorrow night.

"Old K, the Litao Bowl said that tomorrow they will complete a wild victory against the Chinese team. Do you think that will happen?"

"Old K, Sabonis said he would teach you a lesson, do you want to say something?"

When a group of American reporters saw it, they immediately surrounded it.

"Avidas, I want him to look good tomorrow, and give him a few hats."

"Avidas, I'll see yours tomorrow, I want him to look good."

On the other side of Litao bowl, several team members stared at Lao Wang with disdainful eyes.

"Don't worry, I will."

Sabonis only glanced at Old Wang, said something, and then turned back to continue eating his dinner.

After playing in the NBA for a year, even if he didn't inquire about it, he still heard news about old K from time to time. The two had a fight, but that was when he came off the bench and only faced each other for 3 minutes.

But he doesn't think that the Chinese team has any strength. It should be very easy to win the Litao Bowl against the Chinese team. It is a matter of course to win a wild victory.

However, the only troublesome thing is that his teammates are all extraordinary figures in European or Litao Bowl leagues, and they are very proud. The European basketball world doesn’t have much contact with the NBA, and some even look down on the NBA. He doesn’t know the strength of old K. He worries that they will underestimate the enemy.

"They said they want a wild victory? That Blazers backup center wants to teach me a lesson? Haha...hehe..."

Lao Wang laughed loudly, then sneered twice, and then said: "You tell them for me, it will be a nightmare to meet them tomorrow."

The reporters got excited in an instant. These Americans knew Lao Wang's character very well, and knew the horror of Old K. They were looking forward to tomorrow night very much.

"Nightmare?"

Hearing the reports from several American reporters, Sabonis frowned a bit. It was only a group match, and the Chinese team had already secured the qualification. Was Old K's reaction a bit excessive?

"Nightmare?"

The other Litaowan people were very surprised that the Chinese team dared to be so rampant?

They glared at the Chinese team one after another, wondering why this group of guys who are so poor that they can't even wear underwear are so rampant?

But with so many reporters and athletes from all over the world watching them, they couldn't say much, they just muttered a few words angrily.

……

On the 28th, at five o'clock in the afternoon, the game began.

The game will arrange a player tunnel, before going out, the two teams meet again, glaring at each other.

At this time, it was eight o'clock in the morning on the 29th in China.

The open-air basketball court behind Fengshen Street South Street was already overcrowded, and there was no telling how many people there were.

On the main street of Fengshen Street, the big bosses also put the TV in front of the door, and the whole street was full of dark people.

The atmosphere of the Olympics has completely surpassed the atmosphere of the NBA playoffs some time ago, and there are more fans here.

Not only basketball fans, but also a large number of sports fans are famous here. Before the sports center is built, Fengshen Street has actually become a huge sports and cultural center in the capital.

Atlanta, on the spot, 10 minutes later, Wang Tiejun and Sabonis jumped the ball.

Sabonis, who is almost 32 years old, can't actually jump anymore. Before he went to the NBA, he broke his right heel, had a lot of knee and ankle injuries, and was drinking and smoking. The result of the physical examination given by the Trail Blazers team doctor was that he can apply for a disabled parking card.

"Snapped!"

Pharaoh took the lead to push the ball away, and the Chinese team attacked.

In the positional battle, Pharaoh entered the low position on the left wing, and Sabonis was in a very good position, standing behind. The huge body and tonnage formed a huge natural defensive barrier.

Although he is confident that the strength of the Litao Bowl is far superior to that of the Chinese team, Sabonicks also knows Lao Wang's name in the NBA. Even though he is the king of Europe, he dare not be careless and is very cautious.

The next moment, Li Xiaoyong passed the ball down.

Lao Wang takes the ball, and Tieshan starts by hitting.

In the Olympics, he has been using the newly optimized low back hitting technique, that is, giving up the sideways hitting technique and focusing on real back hitting and sit hitting.

But Tieshan's technique of relying on hitting still exists, because Tieshan relies on hitting, not only sideways relying on the shoulder as the attack point, but also relying on the back and chest as the attack point.

He first sat back fiercely with his big buttocks. After sitting on his opponent, his back was already separated from the defender's chest by a certain distance. Then, in the next moment, his whole body suddenly exerted force, his body instantly leaned back, and his back suddenly leaned heavily back.

Under the combination of sitting and back hitting, there was only a bang, and Sabonis groaned, and couldn't stand on his feet at all. He took two steps and stepped back.

"boom!"

At the same time, Wang Tiejun turned around and stepped up, knocking down Sabonis and smashing the ball into the basket.

"what!"

The sports fans in Atlanta immediately burst into cheers. Compared to Sabonis, who is not well-known in the United States, they supported the famous NBA superstar Old K in the United States.

"yeah!"

Fengshen Street was boiling. After Wang Tiejun completed the buckle, the atmosphere exploded, and cheers sounded like a tsunami, and the sound waves spread several kilometers away.

"what?"

Seeing their core, the great Sabonis was knocked over by a Chinese, and the crowd was stunned.

This is also the reason why Lao Wang's fame has not yet reached Europe. Europe is the world of football, and his reputation only spreads in North America and East Asia, so they don't know Lao Wang's strength at all, otherwise they would not be so surprised.
