The Chinese men's basketball team was not criticized after losing to the US team by 10 points, but instead received recognition from experts and fans, feeling a sense of glory that he still has a glory even though he lost.

Especially in the fourth quarter, the Chinese men's basketball team's counterattack performance was highly praised.

Fans unanimously hope that the Dragon II team, which can play hard to match the Dream Team, will perform better in the subsequent warm-up match. One day, on B-6, the Dragon II team met its international rival Puerto Rico.

The location is still in Madison Garden Plaza, New York. Although it is a warm-up match, it still attracts a large number of fans. Many sports channels in China have given live broadcast treatment.

Chinese American fans are very enthusiastic. They left their motherland and came to this strange area to work hard. They may have achieved a good harvest in material and wealth, but this place has never been their motherland. Chinese Americans have always experienced unfair experiences.

After leaving the motherland, I thought of the goodness of the motherland.

Therefore, the Chinese men's basketball team, which came from afar, became their hope. Madison Garden sold out all the tickets on the same day, which was very rare in the warm-up match. What's even rarer is that the number of fans on the scene was one-sided, almost all the Chinese who supported the Dragon II team. This warm-up match was also given an extraordinary color, because the Puerto Rico team was in the same group as the Chinese men's basketball team in the Turkey World Championships, which was already a preview of the game.

In addition, in previous warm-up matches, Puerto Rico showed no worse than Dragon II, and they even defeated the strong Argentina team.

The Chinese team and Puerto Rico know each other. The two teams had a confrontation at the World Men's Basketball Championships, and the Chinese team was slightly at a disadvantage with 1 win and 2 losses. At the beginning of the first quarter, Puerto Rico scored two three-pointers in a row from the outside, and the Chinese team's starters were still Chamberlain, Yi Jianlian, Zhu Fangyu, Liu Wei, and Sun Yue.

Puerto Rico knew his advantage and kept playing on the outside, while Dragon II attacked from the inside. Chamberlain made two slashes at the beginning, and Yi Jianlian also took the opportunity to shoot in the middle, so the two teams tied 6 at the beginning.

After that, Puerto Rico tried to attack the inside player, and Chamberlain slapped two consecutive times on the head of the inside player, blocking and successfully disturbing each other, causing Puerto Rico's inside player to suffer a lot.

On the other hand, Liu Wei and Sun Yue both sent wonderful passes, and Yi Jianlian used Chamberlain to enter the inside to score a rare double-handed dunk, and then Chamberlain also staged an air relay.

Puerto Rico is not to be outdone. Arroyo showed strong personal ability and scored in a row of breakthroughs and emergency stops.

However, the Dragon II team controlled the inside. Although Arroyo tried hard, the Dragon II team still led 17-2 to the second half of the first quarter.

Nelson Jr. watched the Chinese team constantly relying on Chamberlain, so he called a timeout and replaced Chamberlain with the disappointed sighs of the fans at the scene.

Afterwards, Puerto Rico took the spirit and broke through the inside to score. Ayoso rushed into the penalty area and scored in 2I. After that, Yi Jianlian grabbed the frontcourt rebound and made a throw shot. The Chinese team missed the mid-range shot from the outside, and Puerto Rico scored 10 points in a row to stop the Chinese team.

At the end of the first quarter, Puerto Rico took advantage of the last wave of offensive to take a lead of 222. At the beginning of the second quarter, Santiago relied on his height advantage to score 6 points in the inside, and Puerto Rico expanded the lead to 9 points.

The Chinese fans became anxious, but Nelson Jr. sat firmly, occasionally getting up, and roared and roared: "Where is the outside line, the outside line, the defender? Play confidently, give me a brave rush up, I need you to be more confident."

At the critical moment, Liu Wei, a veteran, finally showed his strength, and he scored two three-pointers in a row to stabilize the morale of the army.

Then Sun Yue also fought for his life to break through, entered the penalty area and collided with San Diego, and hit a 2fI

Sun Yue's collision was very tough. Santiago had already pushed him on his shoulder, but he still forced himself to jump up and attack.

Seeing this scene, Nelson Jr. stood up excitedly and applauded, and the fans also shouted, "Warriors," then, the Chinese men's basketball team's spirit was inspired. About minutes before the end of the half, Liu Wei suffered a foul after a breakthrough, and he forced Arroyo to get up on the layup.

However, after landing, Liu Wei hugged his knees and failed to stand up. Yao Ming was startled. Liu Wei shook his head indifferently and said, "It's okay, I just bumped it, it's nothing."

Nelson little dared not continue to let Liu Wei be present. After all, this was a warm-up match, so he replaced Liu Wei with Guo Ailun.

Liu Wei limped and left the field, and the fans on the scene gave him the warmest applause. The veteran was obviously very moved. Chamberlain rushed up and hugged him warmly. Liu Wei sighed: "Damn, Allah made a profit this time, I don't know, fans in the game used to scold us."

The game continued, Yi Jianlian also ended, Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi supported Long Er's inside team.

After Ayoso hit a three-pointer again, Sun Yue regained his character from the outside. Immediately afterwards, Puerto Rico scored two consecutive three-pointers to gain a 10-point advantage. The Chinese team requested a timeout, but Nelson Jr. still did not replace Chamberlain, but wanted to play firmer on the outside.

After the first half, the Dragon II team fell behind B points with 404B.

After the start of the third quarter, Wang Shipeng hit a three-pointer from the left, and Ramos's one-handed dunk was blocked by Su Wei. Yi Jianlian fought for the frontcourt rebound and was pushed by his opponent. He lost his center of gravity and fell to the floor. Fortunately, it was nothing serious.

Now the fans didn't shout for Chamberlain anymore. The players of the Dragon II team were completely furious. Anyone present, including the veteran Wang Zhizhi, who would definitely miss the next Olympics, was very hard-working. The battle made the fans not only applauded with passionate applause, but they were no longer picky.

The game began to become more exciting. Under the pressure of reality, the Dragon II team began to play teamwork, rather than relying on superstars like Chamberlain or Yao Ming to play.

Sun Yue hit a three-pointer from the left bottom line. Barrea scored a strong rebound against Wang Zhizhi. Liu Wei and Sun Yue passed the ball to their teammates in succession, organizing the team to make repeated attacks.

In the middle of the third quarter, the Dragon II team also made a 100 attack climax: Wang Shipeng hits three-pointers twice in a row, and after Sun Yue blocks Arroyo's layup, the Chinese team scores a fast break, and then Wang Zhizhi also gives a big hat and directly stops the Puerto Rico team.

After the timeout, the Chinese team is still playing very hard. First, Wang Shipeng passed the ball and Wang Zhizhi dunked, and then Yao Ming, who came on as a substitute, scored 4 points in the inside.

However, Puerto Rico's counterattack was also very tough. Arroyo made a three-pointer and Agrestormed the inside. At the end of the third quarter, the Chinese team equalized the score with 66 Singer and took the lead.

Nelson nodded repeatedly when he saw it, smiling. This is the team he wanted.

After the start of the final quarter, the Chinese team was still very hard. Ding Jinhui was hit by an elbow on his head when he made a layup. He didn't get up for five or six seconds after landing. Nelson Jr. urgently called a timeout, and Chamberlain and others were watching the game with a gloomy face.

Puerto Rico also showed their sincerity. Captain Arroyo immediately stepped forward to protect Ding Jinhui. He kept asking Ding Jinhui about his feelings in English, and others were also concerned about it.

Yao Ming politely negotiated with Arroyo, and the referee mediated, and both sides said that this would not affect the atmosphere of the game.

Ding Jinhui was helped off the court, and the fans on the scene also gave him enthusiastic applause and cheers.

Nelson Jr. replaced all the main players and sent them to the bench, so the Chinese team suddenly fell into a passive position.

Puerto Rico once again overtook the score with a 62 attack wave. Guo Ailun made a three-pointer and caused a foul. He made a steady three-free throw.

The Chinese team once narrowed the gap to 1 point, but then Puerto Rico scored 7 points in a row and led by 10 points to stop the Chinese team.

In the end, Wang Shipeng broke through continuously and caused a foul, scoring 2 points from two free throws, and Barrea scored again after completing the 2l attack.

The two sides still played very fiercely in the end, but unfortunately, the Chinese team's substitute was much worse after all, and Puerto Rico finally won with 8-Bl.

In this way, the Chinese men's basketball team suffered two consecutive losses in the warm-up match.

The fans at the scene still dedicated their enthusiastic applause to the players who fought all the game. They saw how hard the men's basketball players worked.

But after the game, fans and experts were not satisfied. If losing to the US men's basketball team, it can be said that the Dragon II team is indeed different in strength, but what is losing to Puerto Rico?

In this way, the men's basketball team naturally cannot enjoy the treatment of "News Broadcast".

After three consecutive fierce battles, the players felt the atmosphere of the World Championships, and now they are very serious and hardworking during the training matches.

However, some problems have also emerged in Europe and the United States. The biggest problem at present is diet and jet lag.

For the Chinese men's basketball team, who often go abroad to participate in competitions, they have considered the food troubles. Before leaving, the Chinese men's basketball team made sufficient preparations and brought a lot of instant noodles, ham sausages, pickled vegetables and other foods that meet the tastes of the players.

Chamberlain laughed at the time and said, "We have money, why are you bringing these things?" I'll treat you to a big meal when I went to New York.

Sun Yue, Zhu Fangyu and others kept smiling bitterly. Who is greedy for those American dishes with weird tastes? What they want is their hometown dishes.

As a result, when I got off the plane and passed the customs, all the players' luggage was checked, all the food was searched, and no ham sausage was left.

Whenever Liu Wei talked about this, he felt so angry that his teeth were itchy: "If it weren't for the reputation of the country, Allah wouldn't be polite to them."

Compared with diet, the jet lag has a greater problem. It was okay to say when I was full of energy before, but after a series of fierce battles, the players began to suffer from jet lag, and they were energetic at night and sleepy during the day.

After the game against Puerto Rico, the players worked very hard, but they couldn't sleep after they returned.

Yao Ming and Liu Wei gathered together to play games, and the former took H and played wherever he went.

Sun Yue found Chamberlain and asked in a low voice: "How about going out for a nightclub together?"

Guo Ailun and his group of rookies looked at Chamberlain with a gaze. They had never played in nightclubs in the United States. They had long heard that the entertainment industry in capitalist society was full of sins. They now want to feel the sin and then criticize it.

Chamberlain was almost tortured by jet lag, so where was the mood to accompany them to a nightclub?

In early July, Chamberlain flew from the United States to Beijing. He first suffered a jet lag. He finally got used to it. Now he has to return to the United States and he has to suffer a jet lag.

Before, whether it was in-team training or private training, Chamberlain was the hardest one.

Now it is time to train, if he does not focus fully and mobilizes his enthusiasm, he will be so sleepy that he cannot open his eyes.

In addition to diet and jet lag, there are other problems that bother male basketball players, such as comments from outside.

Now a strange situation has occurred. Sports media abroad, especially the United States, are constantly praising the Chinese men's basketball team: they are more motivated, more united, and more tough. They are no longer the soft East Asian sick man. This team is already a well-deserved world-class strong team.

However, domestic fans and experts were very dissatisfied. The Capital Sports Daily said openly: "The Dragon II team is looking forward to going abroad with the expectations of 140 million domestic fans. It is understandable that they lose to the Dream Team, but how can they lose to Puerto Rico? This is a question of attitude. Where is the spirit of the men's basketball team that we have been emphasizing?"
