Time went back to September 9, that night that made Chinese basketball fans ecstatic.

After defeating the Russian team, the Chinese team reached the semi-finals!

At this time, Chinese players began to imagine the world championship?

Just thinking about taking an epic championship journey?

The remaining six teams that have not played the game are all the top two in each group, and there are also Argentina, the United States, and Chinese players should be extremely nervous now? Fearful? Excessively nervous?

However, this is not the case after the game.

After the game, most of the Chinese team and the fans on the scene did not leave. Anyway, there was still some time before the next game started at 8 o'clock. Guo Ailun didn't know where to get the microphone, and began to rap amid the cheers of the fans of the audience.

"Hey, oh, we made it to the semifinals tonight. I feel a little happy. I want to give glory to my hometown later..." After singing a few sentences, Guo Ailun seemed to have no words and began to jump and break the sound.

Roaring: "I said basketball, you said there is... basketball..."

The fans at the scene were still very proud and interacted: "Yo..."

"basketball……"

“Yo…”

Sun Ce looked at Guo Ailun's performance in pain. Damn, just after playing basketball, he started singing and dancing rap?

What's wrong with the basketball world? Why do they all want to develop into singers?

However, Sun Ce could understand, and he was also very excited. He reached the semi-finals, which was far beyond expectations for the Chinese team.

The three major Chinese men's goals were the fifth place in the world in the men's volleyball team. After the Chinese men's basketball team won the Russian men's basketball team, no matter how they played next, they would definitely be a hero when they returned to China.

Although he despises the man who sings and dances, Sun Ce's mood is similar to his teammates.

Originally, Sun Ce thought it would be good to win the top 8 in the World Championships. Before the World Championships, he had already prepared to enter the finals as the third and fourth place in the group stage. Then he saw that he had met the top two in the other three groups.

Which opponent should choose a card to use and strive for the quarterfinals. After the quarterfinals, if there is still a chance, try to compete for the quarterfinals.

As for whether you can advance to the semi-finals, this is not important at all. Sun Ce must be very happy to enter and create a new history; but if you don’t enter... there is no major problem, and what can you really not beat?

The foundation of Chinese team sports, let alone NBA, even with European basketball, South American basketball and even Oceania basketball, there is a big gap. The three major football balls in the football basketball are basically no so-called basic system, no matter how young it is.

Training or university group sports are too bad.

But I didn't expect that I could win four consecutive games in the group stage and win steadily in the first round of the knockout round.

When they reached the quarterfinals, they had already achieved their initial expectations. They just said that after the opponent in the quarterfinals became Russia, they found that they could lie down and enter the quarterfinals. Sun Ce and his teammates all tried their best to seize this.

The chance to lie into the semifinals.

But because of this, I feel that I am invincible? I feel that I have to compete for the championship?

Come on, the players all know that from the beginning to now, there has never been a strong team except Türkiye.

Of course, in the next game, you must fight, but the players are very relaxed and relaxed... and pray with Sun Ce that the United States and Argentina will be killed...

...

On the night of the 10th, there was no upset, and the Chinese team drew the US team in the semi-final draw after the quarterfinals were all over.

The expectation was disappointed, and I met the strongest American team, and there was basically no hope of winning. Chinese players didn’t feel it was too difficult to accept. Playing in the semi-finals! Winning and losing are not important, what is important is that they made it to the semi-finals stage!

After watching the last game of Turkey defeating Serbia, after the draw in the semi-finals, the Chinese players happily returned to school together, rested for one night, and played against the United States tomorrow night!

The Chinese players were very happy. This was completely different from the previous encounter with the United States. In the group stage, the first round of the knockout stage and even the quarterfinals, and the level was different.

Sun Ce, who was hanging behind and holding his little sister, was about to take his mother and little sister back to the hotel first, was in a very complicated mood now.

When the lottery results came out, the system prompted it too!

"Because the host helped the Chinese men's basketball team reach the semi-finals of the World Championships as if they were to open up the world, and encountered the American team in the semi-finals, the Waterloo of the Dream Team was triggered."

“Waterloo of Dream Team (*):

Event Goal 1: Defeat Team USA.

Goal 2: Score the highest score in the next game against Team USA.

Event reward: Complete Goal 1, reward one random star experience card for the 2010 World Championships of the United States players; complete Goal 2, reward one mysterious fragment.

Punishment of failure: None.”

What a simple and crude description of the incident, and the reward is simple and direct. Although the overall strength of this American team is definitely far inferior to the returned Dream Team in 2008, it is still a group of potential new stars, including Durant and Odo.

For a star like M, the reward for the first goal is also pretty good.

It’s another reward for the goal…Sun Ce really wants it!

There are 9 mysterious fragments, just one is missing

There is no penalty for failure, which represents two situations. One is that this event is an additional event and does not involve issues such as honor, face, etc.; the other is that this event is basically difficult to complete.

This time, Sun Ce felt that the two situations were together.

Unexpectedly, he entered the semi-finals and encountered the US team, so there was such an incident.

After my mother and her inexplicably extra sister were sent back to the hotel, Sun Ce was very sad on his way back to school.

I originally thought that lying to the semi-finals like this would save the S-level explosion and star experience card, but now... it seems that there are more reasons to want to play the US team for a shot.

"Forget it, just do whatever you want. If you have the chance to win, try to win. If you don't have the chance, don't force yourself... I'll score the highest score first?"

...

...

After a night of rest, Sun Ce got up early as before.

This time, Yi Jianlian didn't ask Sun Ce to wake him up, so he set up an alarm clock. When Sun Ce got up to wash, Yi Jianlian also got up.

"Oh, Brother Alian, so early?" Sun Ce greeted him warmly.

The response I received was Yi Jianlian's "Yeah".

Sun Ce was a little surprised. He had to knock Yi Jianlian's bedroom door before, so that the other party would get up unwillingly, and ignored him for a long time. This time he actually got up by himself, and responded, he felt that

Yi Jianlian is in a good mood.

Yi Jianlian got up so early today, mainly because he wanted to enjoy two more hours of "winner time". He won all the games he played in this World Championships, and he lost to Turkey. He rested on the game, so he has always been in a winning state.

This is the first time he has felt like this since he joined NBA, so he wants to enjoy it for a while.

Not only Yi Jianlian is in a good mood!

After the morning jog and Yi Jianlian finished the morning jog and went to the school cafeteria to eat the breakfast made by the chef brought by the national team, they found that all the teammates were in a good mood.

Sun Ce likes this feeling very much. Don’t make it look like you want to play the American team tonight. How tiring!

Playing on behalf of the national team is to win glory for the country. This is a happy thing. If the opponent is evenly matched or slightly stronger than his side, it is understandable that he is going to the battlefield.

But if the opponent is far stronger than yours, there is no need.

This is not a real war, just try your best. It doesn’t mean that if you lose this game, your basketball career will be over.

On the contrary, the winner and loser of this game are actually not important at all. It is an honor to represent the national team in the World Championships.

But being in a good mood and relaxing mind does not mean that you have to be beaten casually.

When we arrived at the rented stadium for training at nine o'clock, everyone became serious.

If you play in the United States, it is still in the semi-finals. Of course, you can fight if you can!

It’s one thing to do your best or not. Anyway, do your best, at least don’t lose so ugly.

With Yao Ming in the Chinese team, when Yao Ming outputs with all his strength, he is just the same as the American team. This is the experience of the Beijing Olympics.

However, Yao Ming had full firepower from the beginning of the game, and he was almost exhausted after halfway through the second quarter. In the later period, Yao Ming could only slowly run back and forth.

After Yao Ming was out of strength, Wang Zhizhi could not deal with the inside of the US team, Yi Jianlian was still young, and the score difference was quickly widened to 30 or 40 in the second half of the second quarter.

During the team meeting, Sun Ce confirmed his ideas in the analysis of the coaching staff, and their inside line has great advantages!

The US team only sent three inside players this time, Odom, Love and Chandler.

Odom is the center, and Love and Chandler are both substitutes.

Odom is very strong, averaging 13 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists, 1.8 blocks and 1.8 steals per game.

Love's performance was not good. He couldn't play in the offensive end and could only shoot. He didn't have the ability to run. He was a colander on the defensive end, so Durant played the power forward position, and Love's playing time was about 10 minutes per game.

Coach K would rather use a small lineup than send Love to too much time.

Chandler... The role of Team USA is like Howard's athletic ability in 2008 was weakened, with a tall figure, strong role in defending the basket, able to defend the pick-and-roll and defend in joint defense.

But Chandler never defended himself when he met Yao Ming. Yao Ming played against Chandler 15 times in the NBA field, and averaged 20+10 in 31 minutes per game, which was very relaxed and comfortable.

Moreover, Chandler has no threat on the offensive end. The international arena is not like the NBA. It has no defense for three seconds. Chandler pulls out the three-second zone to pick-and-roll, and people can't come out. This is what James is good at pick-and-roll, and it's useless to go to the international arena.

The center forward is useless to pull it out!

If he comes on the court, even if Yao Ming loses energy on the offensive end, he will just stand at the basket and block the basket at the defensive end and help a teammate grab the board.

No matter which inside player Yao Ming faces the US team, he will crush and play casually. The issue to consider is physical distribution.

The Chinese team has an absolute advantage in pure inside.
