Chapter 154 Taking Australia lightly
During the handshake ceremony after the game, the US team was silent.

NBA stars really don't care about the Olympics or the World Championships. They call the NBA champion the world champion.

But they also don't like to lose, it's hard.

Iverson and Li Lei hugged each other without saying anything cruel.

Jefferson only said two words: "Congratulations!"

Wade, Anthony, and James also felt a little uncomfortable, but they were much better than the starters. They almost didn't play, and they couldn't blame them for the loss.

After saying a few words casually, they hurriedly left the field with the team.

Faceless!

this match:

李磊三分球8投6中，砍下全场最高的24分6篮板5助攻1抢断2盖帽。

Yao Ming had 21 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists and 4 blocks.

Wang Zhizhi had 11 points, 5 rebounds and 1 block.

Li Nan had 8 points, 4 rebounds and 1 steal.

Du Feng scored 6 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist.

Liu Wei scored 5 points, 3 assists and 1 steal.

Zhu Fangyu scored 3 points and 1 rebound.

Yi Jianlian had 2 points, 1 rebounds and 1 blocks.

Guo Shiqiang scored 4 points and 2 assists.

Battelle had 0 points and 3 rebounds.

Moko had 0 points and 1 rebound.

Zhang Yunsong scored 0 points and 1 assist.

……

中国双核姚明、李磊合计砍下45分16篮板7助攻1抢断6盖帽，占了全队的一半以上。

Soon, the news quickly spread throughout the world.

Americans are dumbfounded.

I think I heard wrong.

Early the next morning, Yuan Weimin, head of the Chinese delegation, came to the basketball team in person to reward and encourage the players.

He also shook hands with everyone cordially and encouraged everyone to make persistent efforts.

The two directors of the team committee were all smiling.

Later, Yu Jia also came to the basketball team to conduct an interview on behalf of CCTV, which was broadcast live to the people of the whole country.

Li Lei and Yao Ming were invited to the temporary live broadcast room.

We had a great chat.

Li Lei was very humble and always put Yao Ming first.

When it came to the feeling of victory, Li Lei fell into the trap again.

"This is not a victory for me and Yao Ming, he belongs to all Chinese people."

"Wang Zhizhi's 5 points at the critical moment, Li Nan's deadly defense, every pass, defense, and shooting of the team...the command of the coaching staff, the concern of the delegation and the basketball team, the expectations of the people of the whole country..."

"We are just standing on the shoulders of giants, and the people of the whole country are the giants!"

Finally, Li Lei also launched an appeal.

"We performed well, everyone should praise us more. If our performance is not good, please be more tolerant."

At the end of the game, the Chinese team beat the US team, but some people were scolded.

The defenders who made many mistakes, the immature Yi Jianlian, the targeted Battelle...

Li Lei is speaking for these people.

Yao Ming also echoed: "UA Lian is really talented, please believe in him, he will definitely be able to play well. As for mistakes, which rookie does not make mistakes? There is also Daba, he is also a good player, but he is not good at playing against the U.S. This type of team."

Yu Jia nodded, also speaking for these people.

After the broadcast of the program, the domestic media's direction changed immediately. There was much less criticism of Yi Jianlian and Battelle, and the emphasis was on encouragement.

……

After a day off,
The Chinese team ushered in a new opponent.

European traditional powerful Lithuania.

The performance of the Chinese team was not good. The two core players, Yao Ming and Li Lei, obviously did not rest well and were in poor condition.

At halftime, the Chinese team lost by 20 points.

In the end, 66:81.

The Chinese team failed miserably.

The total record is 1 wins and 1 losses.

According to the competition system, 2 points for a win, 1 point for a loss, and 0 points for abstention. The Chinese team now has 3 points.

On the same day, the US team faced the Australian champion Australia.

The dream team, who had been holding back their anger for a day, showed their power and bloodbathed Australia.

109: 58.

The United States beat Australia by 51 points.

so horrible!

This TM is the dream team!

Group A ranking:
Lithuania 4 points.

Spain 4 points.

China 3 points.

US 3 points.

Australia 2 points.

Angola 2 points.

Another day, the third round started.

The opponent of the Chinese team is the Australian men's basketball team.

Before the start of the game, Australian men's basketball superstar Andrew Bogut was interviewed by the media.

Bogut is currently playing in the NCAA and has the title of Australian Duncan. He is expected to participate in the 05 NBA draft. His voice is also very high, and the prediction is at least the lottery.

This is Bogut's first Olympic Games.

In the first two games of the Olympics, Bogut performed well, averaging 14 points and 9.5 rebounds per game.

Bogut said that he will lead the team to defeat the Chinese team and win the first victory in this Olympic Games.

When asked what he thought of opponent Yao Ming, Bogut was unimpressed.

"He is just a sophomore in the NBA, a No. [-] pick, and he was robbed of the Rookie of the Year. His performance is nothing more than that."

Bogut spoke loudly.

"And I will be the No. [-] pick in the NBA!"

The Chinese team is stationed.

Li Lei looked at the newspaper that Bogut was interviewing and laughed out loud.

"Dayao, this guy doesn't take you seriously!"

Yao Ming didn't take it seriously: "Australian Duncan. If he was Duncan, of course he wouldn't think of me."

Yao Ming said casually, he didn't seem to be angry at all.

Game night.

Yao Ming and Bogut jump the ball in the middle circle.

Bogut looked at Yao Ming arrogantly: "You are Yao Ming? Remember, I will log into the NBA next year. I will challenge you, the first overseas No. [-] pick, to see who is the best overseas No. [-] pick!"

Li Lei: "..."

This shit, he really thinks of himself as Duncan!

But Duncan couldn't guard against Yao Ming either!
This guy is out of his mind.

Li Lei tried hard to hold back his laughter.

"I'm a professional, and I will never laugh unless... Puchi... I can't help it... Hahaha."

Hahaha!
Li Lei really couldn't hold back.

The Greek referee immediately gave Li Lei a warning look.

Li Lei quickly suppressed his laughter and admitted his mistake to the referee.

Li Lei didn't dare to look at Bogut's face, he just wanted to laugh.

Drip!

Game start.

Bogut flicked the ball into his own half court with vigor.

Australia dribbles forward.

Bogut stuck Yao Ming in the low post and reached out for the ball.

Just as he got the ball, a figure rushed over and shot like lightning.

Precise steal!

Snapped!
After Li Lei made the steal, he made a long pass to Liu Wei.

There was finally a tacit understanding between the two.

Liu Wei rushed to the frontcourt and scored a layup.

2: 0.

Australia strikes again.

Yao Ming waved his hand directly at Li Lei: "No need to help defend, I will do it myself!"

Li Lei: "..."

Who said that Yao Ming has a good personality and has no temper.

If you are in a hurry, the rabbits will bite people.

What's more, Yao Ming...will kill you!

Bogut continued to ask for the ball.

This guy wasn't stupid either. After taking the ball, he observed the situation and found that Li Lei didn't intend to help defend, so he started attacking.

He resisted Yao Ming and chiseled.

Bang!
The sound of muscle clashing is clearly audible.

The Australian men's basketball team and men's football team are known for their brutal confrontation.

However, Yao Ming remained motionless.

Bogut froze for a moment, then continued to dig.

Yao Ming still didn't move.

Let alone Yao Ming's incomplete weight gain, Bogut has not entered the NBA at this moment, let alone gain weight.

On the contrary, when Yao Ming exerted his strength and his chest hit, Bogut staggered and lost the ball.

Li Lei is not being polite, he grabbed the ball immediately, made a fast break, and assisted Li Nan to score a dunk.

4: 0.

Looking back, Bogut continued to ask for the ball.

He is still a bit smart, and he didn't continue to shove Yao Ming hard.

Hit the south wall, you have to turn back!

Bogut feinted and began to break through, trying to use his speed to overpower Yao Ming.

Boy, what a great idea!
But Yao Ming is not slow at this time, and Yao Ming is standing in the inner circle, and the moving distance is short.

Yao Ming used his chest to resist Bogut. Bogut ran from the baseline to the front of the basket, but he still couldn't get rid of Yao Ming.

Seeing Li Lei on the side ready to move, Bogut made a hasty move.

Snapped!
Yao Ming barely jumped. With a volleyball hat, he directly pushed Bogut to the floor with the ball.

Really misrepresent Yao Ming as a person, dare to fight against Yao Ming directly, without any fake moves.

Do you dare to ask Duncan?
O'Neal dare?
O'Neal was so daring, so he got a lot of hats from Yao Ming.

After that, O'Neill didn't dare to hit Yao Ming head-on so casually.

The Chinese team made another fast break.

6: 0.

The Chinese team made another perfect start.

Australia attacks.

Bogut this time... didn't ask for the ball.

Three consecutive attacks were fruitless, and Australian teammates were unwilling to pass the ball to Bogut.

But Bogut held his breath and actively grabbed offensive rebounds, still wanting to pay Yao Ming back.

In this way, the Chinese team worked hard and ended the first quarter with 20:13.

In the second quarter, Australia started a high-intensity confrontation, trying to use their brutal confrontation to bully the Chinese team, which is not good at confrontation.

At the critical moment, Li Lei took the ball.

Although slow, they can be transported steadily to the frontcourt and handed over to Yao Ming or Big Zhi.

The brutal confrontation in Australia was successfully resolved, and the Chinese team began to show off.

Yao Ming's state was overwhelmed in this game, and he played Bogut from Duncan, Australia to Hesheng Town, Australia.

Wang Zhizhi also had a good performance. He played with Australian No. [-] David Anderson with his evolved and elegant footsteps, and scored consecutively.

At the same time, "Little Li Fei Dao" Li Nan was also very good in this game, hitting consecutive COSCO shots.

Halftime is over.

42: 32.

The Chinese team led by 10 points.

His teammates performed well, Li Lei played very easily and put more energy into the defensive end, which is what Li Lei is best at.

Back in the second half, Australia frantically chased points, and once chased the score to only 2 points.

Li Lei turned on the "red eye" mode, hit two consecutive three-pointers, and instantly expanded the point difference to 8 points.

It was like a basin of ice water directly extinguished Australia's momentum of chasing points.

Since then, Australia has never launched an effective pursuit.

Bogut also failed to find a chance to fight back against Yao Ming.

In the end, 89:76, the Chinese team took the Australian men's basketball team lightly.

Yao Ming had 28 points, 12 rebounds and 3 blocks.

Wang Zhizhi scored 15 points and 6 rebounds.

Li Nan had 12 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists.

李磊12分6篮板5助攻4抢断2盖帽。

……

Bogut, who was facing Yao Ming, had 4 points, 6 rebounds, 4 fouls and 5 turnovers.

The NBA scouts who came to watch the game couldn't help shaking their heads.

This Nima...Australian Duncan?
This is definitely the worst time Duncan has been hacked.

But Yi Jianlian attracted a lot of attention.

The 17-year-old Ah Lian came off the bench and contributed 4 points, 3 rebounds, and an amazing cap.

The data is second. The UAE's running and jumping ability is quite good, which is absolutely unique among Chinese players.

In addition, the UAE has also inherited the soft touch of Chinese players.

This talent is an absolute lottery show!
It's just that the current Yi Jianlian is still too immature and looks very thin, so it's obvious that he can't fight.

Also, his stuffy personality is not a small problem.

If these can be solved, Yi Jianlian will definitely have unimaginable achievements.
