Chapter 145 Talent Gap (Seeking Subscription, Monthly Pass)
"The Chinese team finally lost to the Lithuanian team 80-94. It is a pity that this game is really a pity. We can see the vitality and hard work of these guys on the court. We have indeed gone far. Maybe one day we will go further, but today the Chinese team has done its best." Yu Jia said.
The game was lost, but in the eyes of everyone, the Chinese team could not even get to where it is today. They have created enough miracles, and then they will fight for the Olympic medals.
This game is not the end, the next one is.
"Everyone gather around. You have done a good job in this game. It's my problem. If I can be stronger, maybe the score won't be so big." Yao Ming said unwillingly.
He is also a frustrated person. Whether it is the NBA crown, the Olympic Games, or the World Championships, he has not stood on the highest podium for a long time, and he is plagued by injuries. Even he himself cannot judge how long his career will last.
In fact, the other members of the Chinese team knew Yao Ming's difficulties, and he got the team's second score and first rebound in the team when he was injured, which made other players feel ashamed.
Humility is Yao Ming's strength, but it is not the only one.
While he is humble, he is still working hard, which is the reason for his success.
Lin Yue learned a lot from his predecessors, and now Yao Ming shines in his eyes.
However, Lin Yue felt that if he had Yao Ming's ability, he would definitely not be at the mercy of the Basketball Association. He would have to return to China to play in big and small events, even if it was a friendly match. Such consumption would seriously damage his physical condition.
"Winning is everyone's glory. Losing is losing together. At this time, we should carry it together. In fact, no one in China will criticize you after entering the semi-finals. On the contrary, each of you is a hero of Chinese basketball."
Guo Shiqiang said affectionately that he has dedicated himself to basketball for many years and has long regarded himself as a member of the national team.
The Chinese team, which has been lagging behind in this game, did not give up, but every offensive climax was contained by the opponent.
The Lithuanian team was the better side in this game.
After the game, the Chinese men's basketball team returned to the training bureau to watch the semi-finals on the other side, the US team vs. the Spanish team.
Until the last 2 minutes of the game, the point difference between the two teams did not widen.
94 to 92, the Spanish team led by two points.
Rudy Fernandez's counterattack and fast break also put a lot of pressure on the US team. Even if he was facing players like LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony, he was not timid.
Gasol has an advantage in the matchup with Howard, and Gasol's inside suppresses Howard and Boozer's inside, which is why the Spanish team is still in the lead.
The matchup between Kobe and Gasol, an old teammate in the national team, has become the highlight of the game. Their loss to the Celtics in this year's finals has caused them to be questioned.
And this fateful matchup made the game full of highlights.
"Kobe, this ball is cool!" Lin Yue said.
Kobe received a pass from Paul and directly pulled out his hand from outside the three-point line. The defense did not lose any position. Even if the opponent blocked the face of the three-pointer on the back, Kobe still scored.
As expected of Kobe, everyone in the US team's lineup can play the role of the last attack, but Paul still gave it to Kobe.
In terms of scoring, everyone here still trusts Kobe.
This ball helped the US team overtake the score.
Playing so anxiously, this is the first time the Dream Eight team has encountered such a situation since its establishment.
"No, we will play against the United States in the third place." Sun Yue said, it would not be a good experience to play against the US team.
"Spain is not easy to deal with!" Zhu Fangyu said.
Everyone looked at the anxious battle situation in front of the screen, and it seemed that they were right. The overall strength of the Spanish team in the current state is second only to the US team in this Olympic Games.
Then, under the suffocating defense of the US team, Spain's attempt from outside the three-point line went wide.
Kobe made another three-pointer from the same position, and Rudy Fernandez defended him, still with his face sealed.
After a pause, Kobe exerted strength in his waist and abdomen, forced a three-pointer, and made another hit by leaning back.
This is the core strength of the world's top basketball players, and this ball is more like a twisted shot.
The ball was hit hollow again, and the point difference came to 4 points, leaving only 1 minute for the Spanish team.
Kobe's two three-pointers at this critical moment ignited the audience, and the fans were amazed to see such a miraculous performance.
Originally, the rules of the NBA were different from those of FIFA. No matter how strong the personal abilities of NBA superstars were, they could not fully utilize them. Kobe and Anthony became the big killers in the World Championship.
Subsequently, Rubio went straight to Gasol under the basket, and the hook after turning around was defended by Howard.
Wade took off the rebound, and the quarterback's long pass to the fast-down James, who threw off the defense and blasted the basket with both hands.
After James' dunk, the victory of the game is no longer in suspense.
"The US team is still strong." Someone said at this time, which resonated with everyone.
I thought that after they defeated the Spanish team, they would still have a chance to defeat their opponents in the next fight. If they won a medal, it would be considered perfect.
Looking at it now, the Spanish team's offense and defense are no different from those in the group stage.
"Can we push Team USA to the last minute?" was the question on everyone's minds.
After watching the game, it was getting late, and Jonas gave the players a short meeting and asked them to rest.
The next bronze medal battle is only one day away, and it will be held in Wukesong Stadium the day after tomorrow.
Back at the hotel, Lin Yue turned on the TV to watch some other games.
In fact, he is also very interested in table tennis and badminton. If it weren't for the emergence of basketball, Lin Yue might develop in the direction of small balls.
This kind of skill rather than physical fitness is more suitable for Chinese people, but because the competition is not as strong as football and basketball, it has little influence in the world.
Instead, table tennis has become China's national sport.
On the medal list that appeared on the screen, the Chinese team temporarily ranked first.
"As expected of the game at home, everyone is doing their best!" Lin Yue sighed for this grand event.
I hope that the men's basketball team can also contribute to the medal table of the Chinese team.
Tossing and turning, Lin Yue recalled today's game. Whenever the score was close, someone from the Lithuanian team would stand up and score. The opponent's cooperation was much better than ours.
During this period of time, I relied too much on Yao Ming. Even though he played with injuries, he still counted on him.
"Am I too good-for-nothing?" Lin Yue stretched out his hand to look at the ceiling. The problem of the angle of view made his hand very big.
With big hands but unable to hold the hope of winning, and always missing the championship, Lin Yue was a little puzzled and found it hard to be confident.
He is a little worried about his future, some of which are decided by nature.
Asians are not as good as their opponents in terms of physical strength and quality. At the small forward position, both defense and offense are required.
If it weren't for his organizational skills, Lin Yue really didn't think he could stand out from a bunch of monsters.
