Chapter 425
Huaxia's strong performance has attracted the attention of many people in the circle, especially the remaining two teams in the same group, who are very afraid of them.Since the two Olympic groups were settled, Spain has been recognized as the strongest in Group B, followed by Australia. However, after losing to Spain, China actually defeated Russia and Australia in a row, and its strength should not be underestimated.

According to the rules, the top four teams in each group advance, and now it seems that China has basically occupied one of the places. Although Australia lost to them, it is still very easy to qualify, which means that there is still the last team left. One spot is reserved for three teams to compete for.Brazil has always regarded itself as a strong team in South America, and has also recruited many active NBA players to participate in the Olympics. In their view, it would be the greatest shame if they could not even qualify for the group stage.

If they want to get a qualifying spot, they must fight Huaxia in the game on August 8th. They cannot give up any possible wins. up.

However, what they didn't know was that Huaxia, who was basically locked in the qualifying spot, didn't plan to stay strong, but tried to prove himself.Brazil is obviously a good target to conquer, and it is obviously a lot of face to be able to beat them.

In order to be able to win this game, Brazilian coach Magnano sent Huertas, Barbosa, De Sousa, Nene and Varejao, and also played a twin tower lineup.Of course, this is largely because Brazil's insiders are basically of this height. Splitter, who was placed on the bench by Magnano, is also 2.11 meters tall. He will become the main rotation player inside.It can be said that Brazil's inside line is still very good, the only problem is that their scoring ability is too weak.

To some extent, Brazil's offense basically relies on the outside line. What the inside players have to do is to pull out to cover, or grab rebounds to complete the second attack.Although they also have a certain offensive ability with the ball, their main role is to cover the outside line, especially Barbosa, the guy nicknamed "Brazilian Lightning" is the scorer that the Brazilian men's basketball team relies on most. If you dominate the team's offense, it is undoubtedly a huge waste.

Everyone knows that Barbosa is the core player of Brazil. If he wants to beat Brazil, he must be restricted.Deng Huade has seen Xu Hao's defensive ability for a long time, and this time it just came in handy. He simply used Chen Jianghua and Xu Hao to partner in the backcourt, let Xu Hao play shooting guard, and Barbosa to match, the best Can try his best to block this Brazilian lightning.

After the game started, China still adopted the strategy of attacking inside, but Brazil did the opposite. Magnano asked Nene and Varejao to defend the Yao Yi combination under the basket, and then launched an attack from the outside.However, Magnano's strategy hit a wall from the beginning. Barbosa, whom he relied heavily on, was unable to break through Xu Hao's defense, which surprised him.

Barbosa also has troubles that he cannot tell. It is not that he has never played with the Timberwolves in the NBA, but he has been the team's super sixth man most of the time and rarely has the opportunity to play against Xu Hao.The Timberwolves' backup guard is obviously not as strong as Barbosa, which also makes him almost always produce good statistics against the Timberwolves. I didn't expect the Timberwolves' starting shooting guard Xu Hao to be so strong.In fact, Barbosa also knew that Xu Hao must be outstanding, but he still underestimated his defense.

Under Xu Hao's defense, Barbosa only hit 6 goal in 1 shots in the first quarter. He only scored 4 points and 2 assists in a single quarter, and his state was very sluggish.Because of this, Brazil was 18 points behind 27-9 at the end of the first quarter.

Magnano looked embarrassed. He suddenly discovered that there was no scorer on the roster who could replace Barbosa and charge for the team.Of course, players like Huertas still have scoring ability, but they are not enough to carry the team.

Barbosa was guarded throughout the game and had no temper at all. Only then did he realize that Xu Hao was so powerful that he could not compare with him.In the second half, he could only score a few points by relying on air cuts and layups, which was not at all the level he averaged at 17.1 points per game before.As Brazil's star player, if he performs so poorly in the game, then he can't even think about winning.

Without the leadership of Barbosa, and other players of the Brazilian men's basketball team did not step forward, this high-profile showdown ended peacefully. China easily won the game 90 to 77, and had already locked up the group stage. Qualifying quota.Now they only have the last group match left to play, and whether they win or lose, it won't have much impact.

This performance made the domestic players rejoice. They did not expect that after losing to Spain in the first game, the national team actually won consecutive victories and easily got a ticket to the quarterfinals.However, they still hope that the national team can continue to win, especially with the last group match left. 4 wins and 1 loss is better than 3 wins and 2 losses.

The Huaxia men's basketball team did not disappoint the fans who supported them. In the last game against the host England, they took the initiative on the field from the beginning.The focus of the defense this time was Ruhr Deng at the small forward position. Deng Huade handed over the task to Zhu Fangyu. Xu Hao was finally able to free up his hands to attack with all his strength. It is normal for Huaxia to take the lead.

At the end of the first quarter, Huaxia had a double-digit lead, and by the end of the half it had expanded to 18 points.The British fans on the sidelines couldn't hide their disappointment, but they also knew very well that the strength of the Huaxia men's basketball team was far from being comparable to that of the UK. The nearly 20 points behind was completely a real difference in strength between the two sides, and there was nothing to complain about. .

However, the official relationship between China and the United Kingdom is not bad, and due to political influence, they did not kill them all.After the start of the second half, Xu Hao deliberately controlled the rhythm of the game, and Deng Huade also used more substitute players to adapt to the intensity of the game. The point difference between the two sides remained at about 12 points. For a while, the confrontation on the court seemed quite harmonious.

Of course, as the star of the British men's basketball team, Deng is still very aggrieved. According to his thinking, he should be the one who led the team to successfully qualify from the group stage and reach the top. Even being beaten up by Huaxia, he has only used a little more than half of his abilities, and his whole body is a bit bad.

The Huaxia players don't care whether Deng is in a good mood or not. For them, it is really good to end the group stage with a victory. The second position in the group stage will also allow them to meet a rival in the quarterfinals. weak opponent.
