6. The first game of the Olympic Games - Argentina
"I will definitely bring home the Olympic medal. You and your sister can watch us all the way to the podium by the TV!" I have to say that although Milicic may not be a good player, he must be a good kid.
, he regularly sends money to his family every month and calls his family on time. Perhaps because of Milicic’s memory, Li Xiao still maintains these habits even if he is reborn in Milicic.
After training together with the Serbian and Montenegrin team for more than three weeks, everyone has almost adjusted well. This time, the biggest names in the Serbian and Montenegrin team, the Kings’ all-star players Stojakovic and Divac, did not come, so
Some experts predicted that Serbia and Montenegro would only be able to reach the quarter-finals. In fact, Milicic knew that the real result was that Serbia and Montenegro did not even make it past the group stage, and the quarter-finals were a luxury. However, the appearance of Li Xiao has changed Milicic's life.
Qi has no history of participating in the 2004 Olympic Games. If we want to change it, we must change it thoroughly.
The first game was against Argentina. Milicic knew that this Argentina team was the champion of the 2004 Olympic Games. At this time, Ginobili was at the peak of his career. At critical moments, he was probably only less threatening than
Point guard: Tomasevic Shooting guard: Vjanic Small forward: Bodilloga Power forward: Radmanovic Center: Milicic
Argentina main lineup:
Point guard: Sanchez Shooting guard: Ginobili Small forward: Nocchione Power forward: Scola Center: Oberto
As the opening whistle sounded, Milicic jumped high. In the competition with Oberto for the jump ball, he easily won. The ball was controlled by Tomasevic, and Milicic grabbed the ball inside.
Bit.
Oberto's strength was very average. Milicic sat down on his thigh with his butt. Before he could use his full strength, he was already pushed back a step. Tomasevic had good consciousness and struck the ground with one strike.
The ball was passed to Milicic's hands, and then all four players opened up to create space for Milicic to play singles. Milicic leaned back two steps, turned around and faced Oberto's arm, and deliberately bumped into one.
I hit a rebound shot and the whistle sounded when the ball went in, 2+1!
After steadily making the free throw, the score became 3-0. Argentina quickly sent a baseline ball and passed it directly to Ginobili, who was already about to pass. Ginobili was closely guarded by Vujavic who was chasing after him.
The next pull-up layup was a 2+1 in return. After making the extra free throw, Ginobili said to Milicic with a smirk on his face: "It's your turn!"
Coach Pesic on the sidelines made a gesture, and the Serbian and Montenegrin team's offense is still launched from the inside. In other words, in this ace vs. ace contest, the Serbian and Montenegrin team will compete with the Argentine team to the end.
The ball was handed over to Milicic again. Milicic faced Oberto at the free throw line. The captain of the Argentina team was good at his feet. His solid steps and lateral movement made it difficult for Milicic to break through. Originally, the ball was handed to Milicic.
Milicic's center of gravity is relatively high. If he dribbles too far from the ground, the ball will be stolen by the little men watching eagerly.
Milicic's eyes glanced to the right, and Nocchione ran back to the basket. Milicic was just about to pass the ball, and Oberto was just reaching out to block the passing route. Milicic had already bent down and tried his best.
Go to the basket, jump inside the free throw line, and dunk with both hands.
After the goal, the whole team retreated quickly. Milicic stood under the basket and pointed at Ginobili who was dribbling the ball from a distance. He smiled, as if he was about to enjoy an upcoming feast.
Ginobili dribbled the ball from the outside, made a cross step and took Vjanic back a step, leaped high and shot a three-pointer. Milicic got stuck and squeezed Oberto tightly behind him.
He was about to watch the trajectory of the ball and grab the rebound, but then Milicic reacted. The three-pointer was obviously not far enough. A short three-pointer fell into Scola's hands. Scola turned around and Radmano
Vic jumped up to block the shot. Scola jumped up against Radmanovic's falling body and committed a shooting foul. Scola got two free throws and made both of them.
Then Argentina changed its defensive strategy and asked Oberto to go around to defend Milicic. Tomasevic had no choice but to hoist the ball in. Milicic leaped high and grabbed the ball in his hands. He just moved towards it habitually.
After leaning back, the whistle sounded at this moment. Milicic hit someone with the ball and got an inexplicable foul.
I saw Scola falling to the ground with a face of pain, but Milicic clearly didn't feel anything when he fell just now. The collision between the two was definitely limited to the friction of the jerseys. Milicic looked at Scola rolling back and forth.
La, I thought this guy’s acting skills are incredible!
Radmanovic went over and yelled at Scola on the ground: "Stand up! Act like a man, okay?"
The referee blew the whistle again and gave Radmanovic a technical foul. Ginobili missed a free throw and Argentina attacked with the ball.
"Why are you so uncool?" Pesic shouted at Radmanovic.
"That guy named Scola is a scoundrel. When he was defending me from behind, he kept hitting my thigh with his knee. When I defended him, he kept flicking his hair and slapping me in the face..." Ladd
Manovich vomited bitterly.
Sure enough, during this attack, Scola turned his back to Radmanovic and pretended to shake his head from side to side. His hair swept into Radmanovic's eyes. The moment he closed his eyes, Scola
Cora hit a wipeout shot.
Looking back, Argentina continued to use the forward defense method to deal with Milicic. To break the forward defense, they needed a good point guard who could hand the ball to the center just right, and the point guard was required to have a good sense of the ball.
If it's too high, the center will jump up to get the ball, and when it falls, it's easy to get caught in the opponent's double-team. If it's too low, it's easy to be destroyed by the defender who goes around.
Obviously, the Serbian and Montenegrin team's point guard Tomasevic can only be regarded as quite satisfactory, so the Serbian and Montenegrin team's tactics had to be adjusted to focus on breakthroughs and scoring, with Radmanovic and Bodilloga becoming the main attackers.
point, broke through and handed the ball to their hands for a long three-point shot, while Milicic took advantage of the long man inside to grab offensive rebounds.
But the advantage of Serbia and Montenegro over Argentina does not lie in the perimeter. Although Radmanovic hit a three-pointer, Milicic also grabbed 2 offensive rebounds and successfully obtained the ball with the help of the offensive rebounds.
4 points, but the Argentina team used its strong outside mobility to steal and hit several fast breaks. The score difference became 21 to 12. In the first quarter, the Argentina team led by 9 points, while Milicic had already
Got 2 fouls.
Ginobili in the dugout looked at Milicic and pointed at the scoreboard.
Milicic crushed the water bottle in his hand, threw the towel to the ground, and thought to himself: Such a big gap has been highlighted in just one quarter, am I really capable of competing against the Dream Six Team?
