Chapter 210 American basketball, no face
The shortcomings of the U.S. team sending college students are even more obvious when they are behind by a big score. These young players in their early twenties do not have the mental quality to withstand the pressure of the World Series at all. Two future NBA coaches were also beaten to a blank.
In this situation, facing the Chinese team, which has excellent tactical execution and discipline, they are basically being beaten at will.
In the second half, the only resistance they could offer was to enter a state of incompetent rage and then hit the Chinese players hard.
But the American players did not expect that the Chinese team would not be weak with such small tricks.
After Xing Weining and Liu Jianshe came on the field, they directly hit the American college students with a set of military punches. In particular, Liu Jianshe, who was 1.92 meters tall, not only elbowed Whitman with a technical foul and suffered a mild concussion. This person will retire in the future.
A successful businessman with mixed reviews, he really lives for the big scenes when he plays golf.
Liu Jianshe only played 10 minutes in the second half, but actually grabbed 9 rebounds, 4 of which were offensive rebounds, and shot 6 of 6 from the field, helping the Chinese team expand the point difference to 50+ in one go.
Luda was already substituted in the last ten minutes, because this game was no longer just a defeat. Everyone in the Chinese team was now in a state of overflow, even if Wang Libin, Xing Weining, Liu Jianli, Kuang Lubin, and Gong Luming were replaced as pure substitutes.
With their lineup, they can still suppress the collapsing American team.
When the final score came out, audiences around the world couldn't believe the numbers their eyes saw - 120:70!
50 points!!
The Chinese team beat the American team by a full 50 points!!
Even the craziest person before the game would not have thought of this difference!
The Chinese fans will be breathless with excitement, the Americans will feel the biting cold, and the neutral fans in other countries will be stunned!
"I don't think American basketball has been defeated by us. They only fielded college basketball teams. Although our average age is younger than theirs, you must know that American basketball elites are concentrated in the NBA, even if they only care about money and have nothing to do.
There is a sense of honor, but we cannot deny that they are very powerful."
Ruda's speech at the post-game press conference almost made Americans, especially NBA players, angry to death!
But the media all over the world still like this flavor.
Wu Jie's Tai Chi is really good. Even though he talks a lot, it's hard for the media to catch him.
Ruda, on the other hand, dares to say anything. As long as these words are artistically processed, they can definitely make several big news.
Wu Jie is very annoying. Luda is so hateful. Could it be that he is forcing himself to upgrade his five-star talent?
He could have guessed that after American Basketball suffered such a huge defeat and was humiliated by Luda after the game, the Dream Team would no longer be able to debut early.
Of course, the next Los Angeles Olympics will definitely be too late.
But the next time Americans select college teams, they will definitely not give priority to white players. They will definitely select all the elites. They cannot suffer another big defeat.
This means that in the 1984 Olympics, the Chinese team will encounter the strongest college star team in history composed of NCAA elites from the 1984 and 1985 classes. It is estimated that this will also be the final chapter of the American college basketball team.
.
If the Chinese men's basketball team does not want to be retaliated by the US team, Ruda's four-and-a-half-star talent must be upgraded to five stars. In addition, the main members of the national team must be slightly improved.
Otherwise, facing the college star team composed of Jordan, Olajuwon, Ewing, Barkley, Malone, Stockton, Mullin, Thorpe and others, if the current national team does not improve, it will lose.
Not too many points, but the chance of winning is not great either.
If Wu Jie doesn't want the Chinese men's basketball team to lose another big score in the Olympics, he can only use all the profits from this men's basketball world championship on the men's basketball team.
The next day, major media outlets in the United States published a deliberately bloody headline - "The Waterloo of American Basketball!"
This game is undoubtedly the most humiliating game in the history of the American team!
Who would have thought that American basketball, the holy land of basketball in the world, would fall to this level?
On this day, in addition to all the major media outlets in the United States paying their respects, it is natural that prominent figures in the industry will complain about the disastrous defeat of American basketball!
"The U.S. men's basketball team is shameless!" Cardinal Auerbach took the lead in attacking. "This loss is not an accident at all. How many American college star teams have changed in one term? Have they won the championship? Can they change the soup?
Change the dressing! What level do you think this American team is? There are only a few players. You Stepanovich, McCormick and others are all playing inside. Can he play? He can't! He doesn't have the ability, you know?
?In the last tournament, we lost to Italy, Yugoslavia, Brazil, and the Soviet Union. This time we lost to Spain and China, and we couldn’t even get out of the group stage. If we continue like this, we will lose to Australia. After Australia loses, we will lose to Argentina, and then
If we lose to Canada and Germany again, then no one will lose."
Pat Riley also commented the next day: "American basketball players have great careers. In the past few years, we had excuses for not paying attention to losing. But this time we lost by 50 points, what excuse do we have? If we are in our own home two years later,
If we hide it at the Olympic Games at the door, we will really make the world a laughing stock. We must let the world see the true strength of American basketball."
At this time, even the 46-year-old Chamberlain publicly stated: "The United States team lost by 50 points in Colombia. I can't imagine that we will be so humiliated. This is the most humiliating game in American basketball history! We 1950
We sent auto workers to win the runner-up in the World Championships every year, but now they can't even qualify for the group stage. This is a great shame! If you really can't find suitable players to participate, then I have retired now, and the Los Angeles Olympics will let
I'm going to defend the dignity of American basketball."
After Lao Zhang finished speaking, he swayed. I don't know whether he was angry, or he was overworked with the task of 20,000 people yesterday, but he couldn't stand up.
But not just Chamberlain, many current NBA players have expressed the idea of retiring and participating in the Olympics.
Of course, they only retired briefly to bypass FIBA rules.
The current FIBA rule is that professional players cannot participate in basketball competitions in the Olympic Games and World Championships, and similar restrictions have always been in place in football.
But if a professional player retires and cancels his professional contract, he can participate in the Olympics.
Of course, this method requires negotiation with your own team, and it must also prevent the NBA from imposing penalties.
Wu Jie knew that this matter could not succeed because the NBA team would not agree to such a thing in the first place.
In this era, many NBA players have signed long-term contracts. After their performance, their salaries no longer match their performance. However, due to the length of the contracts, they can still only receive a fixed salary.
If the team cooperates with them and terminates the contract, even if there is a private agreement, if the players do not abide by this private agreement and sign a big contract with another team after returning from the Olympics, they will lose their wives and lose their soldiers.
Yet?
So many guys who are clamoring to retire, most of them have their own little ideas, and NBA teams are not so stupid.
The Chinese team is also a little arrogant at this moment. After defeating the US team, many players really feel that they are invincible.
As soon as this sentiment arose, the Chinese team was defeated by Spain 99:92 three days later.
In this game, the Spaniards chose a tactic that dazzled the world. They used various methods in the first half to prevent Ruda from dying, and they used all possible methods.
But unfortunately, Ruda was too smart. His passing vision, including passing skills, was terrifying. This method allowed the Chinese team's outsiders to score easily.
If it weren't for the Chinese team's mediocre outside touch today, the Spanish team would have been more than 10 points behind in the first half.
But in the second half, the Spaniard felt that he couldn't guard Ruda, so he let Ruda go and guarded the other four players.
The Chinese players were indeed a little distracted in this game. They were still immersed in the last game and the situation where they could easily take shots in the first half today.
Facing the Spanish team's heavy defense in the second half, the Chinese players chose many unreasonable attacks. As a result, the advantages accumulated in the first half were quickly wiped out.
Ruda naturally saw it very clearly. Everyone's state was lifted yesterday when they played against the US team. This also made many people feel that they really have the ability to defeat the US team.
Facing the Spaniard's defensive strategy in the second half, some people still believed that they could score against the defense. Instead of running tactics around Ruda as they did in the past, they all wanted to be heroes.
But this is also human nature. Who doesn’t have any ambition to climb up? Who is willing to be a supporting role and a green leaf all the time?
So if they feel there is a chance to score, they will take action decisively today.
However, the reality is very skinny. The Chinese team was able to defeat the European teams only because of Ruda's personal performance to drive the team, and then through the team's excellent discipline and teamwork, the advantage created by Ruda was expanded.
What Wu Jie improved for them was not their individual offensive ability, but their confrontation ability and mobility, mainly to help them withstand the positional attacks of European teams on the defensive end.
Therefore, once the Chinese team loses teamwork and discipline, its offensive efficiency will immediately deteriorate and it will become easier for its opponents to defend.
Ruda finally scored 38 points, 12 rebounds, 7 assists and 5 blocks, but still failed to help the Chinese team win a victory.
The only good news is that their two consecutive wins are enough to guarantee qualifying. This game is to compete with Spain for first place in the group.
And this has actually created the best result in the history of the Chinese men's basketball team, because this is the first time that the Chinese men's basketball team has reached the quarterfinals of the World Championships.
As for the American team, of course they were eliminated in the group stage.
