Chapter 228 Enter the knockout round, Big Mouth Bogut! !
This is the first time the Chinese team beat Spain.
This game is also a strong proof that the strength of the Chinese team has been upgraded to a world-class level.
8 month 14 day.
After defeating Spain, the Chinese team showed their prowess again. The Chinese team slaughtered the African champion Angola with a score of 123 to 63.
Zhou Hang scored 25 points, 30 rebounds and 11 assists in 13 minutes of playing this game. Zhou Hang played leisurely on the court with ease.
Even without Zhou Hang, Angola's strength itself is not as good as the Chinese team. With the national team after Zhou Hang, it will be easier to beat them.
Compared with other European and American teams, Angola looks more like an amateur team.
The two consecutive victories of the Chinese team locked the group qualification.
This also avoids the various situations of the major media counting points and qualifying. The Chinese men's basketball team uses the victory to take the initiative in their own hands.
after defeating Angola.
The Chinese team also won the next two games.
The Chinese team beat the German team 92 to 72.
The Chinese team beat the Greek team 88 to 83.
The game against Greece is particularly difficult. Although Greece does not have Antetokounmpo, they are still a strong European team, and their condition is better than Spain.
The two teams were still tied at the last moment. At the critical moment, Zhou Hang killed the game with two step-back three-pointers!
The Chinese team has successfully qualified for the quarterfinals with a record of 4 wins and 1 loss.
Before the start of the Olympic Games, no one could have imagined that the Chinese team could achieve such a record.
After all, the fans and the media felt that the Chinese team had been assigned to the death group after they knew that they were assigned to the United States, Spain, and Greece.
As far as media analysis is concerned, for the Chinese men's basketball team, among the five opponents in the same group, except for Angola, it is extremely difficult for them to beat any team.
According to media perception, the strength of the Chinese men’s basketball team is difficult to gain the upper hand even if it compares with Germany. Thanks to the joining of the Clippers center Chris Kaman, the strength of the German team has been further strengthened.
According to the estimates of the media and fans, the only team that the Chinese men's basketball team is sure to beat is Angola, and if they miss the German team, the Chinese men's basketball team is likely to miss the quarter-finals.
But no one would have imagined that the Chinese men's basketball team led by Zhou Hang and Yao Ming only narrowly lost Mengba at the Wukesong Stadium in the Olympic Games, and then won all other opponents, achieving a historic record of 4 wins and 1 loss, creating a miracle!
Although this is the best record in the history of the Olympic Games, Chinese fans are no longer satisfied with the achievement of the top 8.
As Zhou Hang said, the goal of the Chinese team is to win medals, and the fans also have higher goals! !
"Historic breakthrough, the Chinese team reached the quarterfinals! "
"The best record in the Olympic team! "
"Zhou Hang + Yao Ming, the strongest moment of the Chinese men's basketball team! ! "
"This is the strongest men's basketball team. "
"Zhou Hang averaged 46 points, 10 assists and 7 rebounds per game in the group stage, ranking first in scoring per game. "
"China vs. Australia in the Quarterfinals! "
"Can the National Team Overcome the Difficulty? "
After the group stage came to an end.
The rankings of the two groups of AB are also out.
Group A: Lithuania, Argentina, Australia, Croatia.
Group B: United States, China, Spain, Greece.
The rules of the group match are: the first in Group A vs. the fourth in Group B, the second in Group A vs. the third in Group B, the third in Group A vs. the second in Group B, and the fourth in Group A vs. the first in Group B.
The Chinese men's basketball team, ranked second in Group B, played against Australia, third in Group A, in the knockout round.
In the history of the battle in the World Series.
In the 1990 World Championships in Argentina, the Chinese men's basketball team lost to Australia 85:106. The two sides played against the Chinese men's basketball team for the first time and lost.
In the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, the Chinese team lost to Australia 66:88.
In the 1994 Canadian World Championships, the Chinese men's basketball team lost 57:95 to Australia by 38 points.
In these games, the Chinese men's basketball team lost the game by a large margin, which to a certain extent also shows that Australia is also the sufferer of the Chinese team.
After the knockout table came out, some teams were desperate, while others were happy.
For example, the Croatian men's basketball team is very desperate. They will directly face the Dream Eight team in the knockout round, which to a certain extent also shows that their Olympic journey has ended early.
Although the Croatian men's basketball team is known as the top European team, there is no chance of winning against Mengba.
Croatia is also wailing up and down, after all, except for Mengba, they are not afraid of other teams.
On the contrary, the Australian men's basketball team is very happy. Even if they want to meet Mengba, they can only meet in the finals. Then the first knockout match is the Chinese team that they have been under pressure in international competitions!
Zhou Hang, who came back from rebirth, knows very well that there is a gap in strength between the Chinese men's basketball team and the Australian men's basketball team. If he is not in the situation, the Chinese men's basketball team will always be suppressed by them.
In the previous life, the London Olympics, the Rio Olympics, and the Chinese men's basketball team were all disastrous failures.
The Australian men's basketball team naturally has a psychological advantage when it meets the Chinese team.
Even though the Chinese team performed very well in the group stage, Australia would rather meet the Chinese team than they encountered Greece and Spain.
The day after the group stage list came out.
After the Australian men's basketball team finished training, some players accepted interviews from the media.
After the knockout round, the attention of the fans and the media became more focused, especially for the teams playing against the host. The media would report their whereabouts to the national team at any time and collect all the information possible.
"The Chinese men's basketball team is very strong, and they can put together an NBA-level starting lineup."
"Both Zhou and Yao are dominant players in the NBA. They will be our troubles."
"Although our record was better than theirs before, that is already a thing of the past. The strength of the current Chinese team cannot be compared with before."
"They are also the hosts and have home advantage and it will be difficult to meet them here."
"Of course, we will not give up easily, we are here to win!"
Facing reporters, Mills, one of the core players, answered very conservatively.
Mills still has an attitude of respecting his opponent.
It's just that Mills is very respectful to his opponent, but Bogut is not so polite.
As the No. 2005 pick in [-], Bogut has been very unhappy with the Chinese Arab League since he was in the Milwaukee Bucks.
Bogut has always had a big mouth and is racist.
Bogut said to the European and American media: "They have always been our losers. They have always been. When my teammates and I learned that our opponents in the knockout round are their opponents, we can't wait to celebrate with champagne."
Bogut felt that Ah Lian, Yao Ming, and Zhou Hang were players who played softly. As long as they were tough on them, they would be afraid.
"There is nothing to say about the group stage matches. Our ranking does not reflect our level. We will beat them in the most relaxed state."
"In the past, when we met them, they won at least 20 points, and this time it is the same!"
"Zhou? I will slap Zhou's dunks and layups hard. He dare not come in. This guy is tough in disguise."
Bogut's big mouth looks down on the Chinese men's basketball team. His personality is not the same as that of the head coach to say something against his will in order to respect the opponent. He likes to express his attitude clearly.
To put it nicely is blunt, but to put it badly is to say that EQ is low.
Bogut never thought that Yao was a great international player, nor could he be considered the No. [-] or No. [-] center in the NBA. He believed that Yao was a product of the Chinese market.
As the No. 05 pick in [-], Bogut is also a center position. He is often compared with Dayao.
And almost every time in terms of statistics and status, Dayao is better than Bogut, which makes Bogut hold his breath.
So when the Bucks selected Ah Lian, he was also very upset, and made various faces for Ah Lian in the locker room
The UAE was traded for some of these reasons.
Bogut has been giving interviews with bias.
The media quickly expanded his various remarks.
Chinese fans and the Chinese media were filled with righteous indignation, and they were very angry with Bogut's words.
Zhou Hang told the reporter: "This idiot's mouth is like eating feces, it stinks! If it wasn't for the Olympics, I think I would have knocked him down on the ground and beat him up to see if he was pretending to be tough."
Zhou Hang responded directly to Bogut, and his words were not clean.
Many fans immediately became angry.
"Bogut, Zhou Hang wants to challenge you one-on-one."
"Bogut, come on, have a fight!"
"Haha, do you dare to come?"
"A big center is actually afraid of defenders!"
As the fans and the media expected.
Bogut, who also plays in the NBA, is well aware of Zhou Hang's combat effectiveness. After seeing Zhou Hang's interview and response so tough, he simply hid himself and acted like a turtle.
No matter how the fans and the media scolded him, he stopped responding.
8 month 20 day.
The 1/4 knockout round kicked off.
Before the game, in the Australian locker room.
Coach Brown was giving a motivational speech.
"Don't think our opponents tonight are very strong, they are all weak."
"They've been our underdogs for a long time."
"They're the opponents we've all dreamed of playing against."
"As long as we get Zhou out of the way, no one else needs to care about it!"
"We need to be more physical and they're afraid of that."
"Constantly consume them, constantly confront them, and let them feel that this is a man's sport."
Brown has been instilling the idea that in order to win, it is okay to hurt the opponent.
In Brown's view, basketball is a sport for the strong, a sport of confrontation.
Bogut especially cooperated with Brown, yelling there.
The Australian men's basketball team is as confident as the two of them.
The locker room of the Chinese men's basketball team.
Yunus is also making tactical arrangements.
"They are a very confrontational team and we need to control our mistakes."
"Zhou, you come to play point guard, Yao, you have to get stuck inside and don't lose your position easily."
"Also, Zhou, they may use actions other than basketball against you. You need to protect yourself."
"Yao, you should also pay attention to protecting yourself in the paint, so as not to get hurt."
Jonas also lacked confidence when he met Australia.
The Chinese team was very afraid of physical confrontation in the early stage. He didn't know if he could overcome the previous shadow this time.
And Yao Ming has been playing with injuries, which is always a hidden worry for the Chinese team.
After Yunus spoke, Zhou Hang also stood up and said: "The past was the past, and the present is the present. Show the momentum of the group stage. This is our home stadium, with 13 billion fans supporting us!!"
"They will not be our opponents."
"We have killed Spain, Germany, and Greece. There is no need to think that they are different."
"Don't give them too much face!"
"Correct!"
"Kill them!"
The players of the Chinese team responded one after another.
"Also, we don't cause trouble, but don't be afraid of trouble. If they do something, beat him up!"
"Old Zhu, how is the combination boxing that I taught you?" Zhou Hang laughed.
"Don't worry, no problem!!" Zhu Fangyu shouted excitedly.
Zhu Fangyu is very talented in learning martial arts. Zhou Hang taught him a move or two during training, and now he is very powerful with a set of combined punches!
After Zhou Hang stood up to speak, the momentum of the Chinese men's basketball team has been boosted a lot.
10 o'clock at night!
Or Wukesong Stadium.
Nearly [-] fans shouted loudly.
"Kill them!"
"Zhou Hang, don't show mercy!"
"Made, how dare you look down on us!"
"Fuck off!!"
"Zhou Hang, teach them a profound lesson."
Domestic fans naturally also saw Bogut's news interview, and they didn't have any good impression of this team.
From the start of the Australian men's basketball team's appearance, Chinese fans booed.
The match between the Chinese men's basketball team and the Australian men's basketball team has officially begun.
The Chinese men's basketball team starts: Zhou Hang, Sun Yue, Zhu Fangyu, Ah Lian, Dayao.
Australian men's basketball team: Mills, Ingles, Barlow, Anderson, Bogut
Both teams are basically starting lineups with NBA-level players.
With the referee throwing the ball high into the sky.
Ah Lian and Bogut jumped up.
Ah Lian bounced faster, and he dialed the ball over.
Zhu Fangyu received the ball and gave it to Zhou Hang.
As soon as Zhou Hang got the ball, the Australian men's basketball team immediately put on a pressing defense.
Australia's defense is similar to Mengba's, but the personal talent of their players is far inferior to Mengba's players.
Mills and Ingalls wanted to flank Zhou Hang when they came up.
But Zhou Hang dribbled the ball very safely. He first gave Mills a confrontation to block his steal, and then changed his crotch dribble to the left and swooped past Ingles, successfully reaching the frontcourt.
After reaching the frontcourt, Zhou Hang did not stop, but launched an attack immediately.
Zhou Hang made a large frontal change of direction combined with acceleration and rushed in from Barlow's right side.
Anderson was blocked by Dayao, and there was only one Bogut inside.
Zhou Hang rushed in with the ball without hesitation.
Zhou Hang wants to confront Bogut!
Zhou Hang's speed has reached the extreme, and he has been accumulating strength.
Bogut didn't expect that Zhou Hang would dare to kill him directly in the face of this situation, his expression became vicious, and he was going to give Zhou Hang a big hot pot.
Zhou Hang took off across Bogut! !
Bogut went straight to the other, raised his hands, and wanted to press Zhou Hang's ball.
but!
Zhou Hang blocked Bogut's hands with his left hand, grabbed the ball with one hand and swung it down with a higher altitude! !
Zhou Hang's highest point has surpassed the basket a lot.
Bogut's whole body was a little tilted.
"frame!!"
Zhou Hang completed the dunk across Bogut! !
"boom!"
After being hit by Zhou Hang, Bogut retreated one after another.
Eventually fell on the pads of the basketball hoop.
0 is better than 2
