Chapter 714: Athens, August 27, 2004


The American Dream Team won all five games, but their way to advancement is not easy.
In the first game, the American team was taken aback by the younger brother, Puerto Rico, the third runner-up in the Americas.
86-90
The U.S. team was behind by 34 minutes, and at the last minute, if Kobe didn't make a key shot, the U.S. team would have a dark start.
In the second game, the US team was strongly resisted by the host Greek team.
77-71
The U.S. team only won by 6 points, and under the defense of the Greek team, their shooting percentage was bleak, scoring no more than 80 points.
The third battle, US 86-79 Australia
Australia, which is composed of Oceania champions and many NBA players, also created a big problem for the US team.
Fourth battle, Lithuania 90-94 United States
The U.S. team and the veteran team Lithuania played hard to separate, and they won the battle after overtime.
Game 5, Angola, USA 89-53
Although they won 36 points, the US team only scored 89 points under the cruel Angola team.
The quarter-finals, the United States 102-94, eliminated the European powerhouse Spain.
This is the first time the US team has scored more than 100.
Semifinals, Argentina 93-94 United States
After a bitter overtime fight, the US team only got Kobe to hit the lore and get through.
The American team and the Chinese team met in the final as expected.
Many media people also have a lot of opinions on the Chinese and American teams.
"Seven games, only one has scored more than 100 points, and this American All-Star dream team is nothing more than that!"
"After the entire series, Kobe was the savior at critical moments twice. He was the fig leaf of the American men's basketball team."
"The Chinese team completely overwhelmed their opponents in the same group under the leadership of Chinese Li, but the American team has passed the risk every time. The Olympic gold medal this time may belong to the Chinese team."
"China Li averaged 28.9 points per game. Under his leadership, the Chinese men's basketball team is unstoppable."
"The growth of the Chinese men's basketball team has attracted the attention of the world."
However, the American media has many opinions on this American team. Very dissatisfied with the performance of such a dream team.
"Are we going to lose again?"
"Perhaps the opponents in Group B are too strong, but what I want to say is that we really lost our absolute leadership position in basketball."
"Although the champion may still be ours, but our dream team has lost its glory."
TNT basketball commentator Barkley also said in the show:
"We didn't send an absolute main force in the previous dream team, and it is fair. This time, if we lose again, then...I can't imagine it anymore."
The performance of the American men's basketball team did not achieve the expected explosive results. Although they all won, they were criticized. Can you shut up people in China? We can only watch the finals.
In the finals, they must win.
Moreover, it is not enough to win less, you must win!
Only a big victory over the Chinese team to win the championship is the best way!
.
While the media was full of reports about the matchup in the men's basketball finals, Li Nan pulled a few major American players into the Greek Olympic Stadium.
The Olympic Stadium tonight is very lively. The stands were crowded with dangdang, it seemed that there were a hundred thousand people.
Compared to basketball tubes, this large stadium is really big.
It would be great if the basketball hall could have 100,000 spectators.
When Li Nan was thinking about something, after going to the bathroom for a long time, Kobe finally came back.
"Man, how come the Chinese flying man you mentioned hasn't appeared yet?"
"Don't worry, there is still half an hour. You will see what Chinese speed is in a moment!"
"Li, are you so sure that your Chinese trapeze will win the championship in the sprint?"
"That's not it! If you don't believe it, let's take a gamble? Or how about $100,000?"
"Hen~" Kobe smiled softly, "Lee, thank you, thank you for taking care of my face and giving me back the last 100,000!"
"Then I'm on Lee's side." Iverson said immediately.
what
Kobe was dissatisfied, "Allen, you are not patriotic! You are a traitor!"
Iverson, who has been around for a few years, doesn’t take Kobe’s set.
This is just a bet based on money and cannot be linked to the country. The country should be kept in mind.

Kobe shook his head helplessly.
Iverson was not saved.
Kobe turned his head and looked at the other two.
McGrady and Carter looked at each other at this time and hesitated.
This is a big event whether you love your country or not!
Kobe was agitated at this time. When he just left to go to the bathroom, he talked to a coach of the American track and field team. He knew a lot about the 110-meter hurdles tonight.
"Tracy, Vince, let me tell you that the best player in this 110-meter hurdle is our American Alan Johnson. It's just a pity that he was out by accident. But even without him, our American team's Tramel It is still the biggest favorite to win the championship, 13.17s. This is his result of running and running in the preliminaries. Of course, besides Trammel, there is another very powerful player, that is, the young French teenager Ducuri. The group stage is It took 13.06 seconds. And Li’s compatriot Liu, his score in the group stage was 13.18 seconds, which must have done his best."
"Yeah, Kobe, that's not bad, I collected so much information after going to the bathroom."
"That's not it? Lost once, of course the second time, uh,"
Kobe spoke out accidentally.
If Li Nan didn't mention gambling, he would also mention it.
However, he didn't care at all, what if he was known, he just wanted to win Li Nan once. Just once! Really!
"I just happened to ran into the track team coach on the road~EbookFREE.me~ he told me about the 110m hurdles. So I am absolutely sure of this."
Li Nan interrupted Kobe’s sophistry.
"No, no, Kobe, Liu Xiang only played less than 70% of his strength in the group stage. According to his coach, he ran for 12.60 seconds in training. Your thoughts are all wrong information. Think about it, what kind of character do we Chinese have? We are the lowest-key character. We obviously have 100 points. We usually only play 70 points."
When Li Nan said this, McGrady and Carter were slightly moved.
At this time, Li Nan said, "It's like me, I can get 100 points on your head, but I only got 50 points. This is our Chinese."
Then, McGrady and Carter, who were hesitant, went to Kobe's side at once.
"Li, don't be too proud of you too soon!"
"Lee, today we have to show you a good look!"
"Even if our athletes can't run you today, I will stand here!"
Now the two camps have also become 3:2.
"Hahaha, the eyes of the people are sharp. Lee, what you said is really reasonable." Kobe is a little proud, and he didn't forget to recruit Iverson, "Allen, or you come here. Right?"
"No! I've passed, it's too little to share Li's 100,000 with the three of you. It's better for me to choose Li's 300,000."
Iverson's brain circuit is also powerful enough.
He didn't want to think about it. If he lost, he would lose 100,000, and he would still get a dime?
However, doing things differently, this is Iverson.
Hahahaha
Everyone looked at each other and smiled, each with their own thoughts.
