Chapter 83 The US team lost again?

In the studio.

After seeing the Spanish Ducks being defeated, Barkley also offered his blessings.

"Congratulations to Lin Yu for his first international win. His performance was impeccable."

"In international competitions, Lin Yu continued his performance in the NCAA. I wonder how far Lin Yu can go in the end?"

Smith also began to become curious at this time.

"At best we'll be runner-up. After all, the Dream Team is invincible!"

Barkley's voice was full of confidence in the Dream Team.

on the field.

After Lin Yu and the men's basketball team celebrated, they immediately prepared to leave the court because the next game was Argentina, and then the game between Puerto Rico and the Dream Team.

Needless to say, Argentina is the Olympic champion in history.

There are a bunch of outstanding players including the 'Demon Sword' Ginobili, the 'Diamond' Scola, and Oberto.

Serbia and Montenegro are the champions of the last World Championship.

There are players such as Radmanovic, who is known as one of the "FIBA killers", and the "European magician" Bodiroga and Kostic.

The match between the two sides was extremely intense. In the end, Argentina defeated Serbia and Montenegro 83:82.

In this game, Lin Yu and Dayao did not come to watch the game.

After the game, the two returned to the locker room to take a shower, and then were taken to the press conference by Harris.

When we arrived at the scene, we saw a sea of ​​reporters.

After all, it is the focus battle after the two No. 1 picks formed a team, so it will naturally attract widespread attention from fans.

After Lin Yu sat down, reporters with cameras surrounded him.

"Can Lin Yu comment on today's performance?"

"In the first game, you played a superstar performance. What are your thoughts now?"

"Do you think that under the leadership of you and Yao Ming, the Chinese men's basketball team will become a world-class team?"

"..."

Lin Yu——began to answer reporters' questions.

After answering the reporters' questions, more than half an hour had passed.

The match between Argentina and Serbia has come to an end.

Lin Yu and Dayao then prepared to watch the game between the Dream Team and the Puerto Rico team.

During the warm-up, I saw Lin Yu and Dayao coming to watch the game.

Iverson, Marbury and others also came forward to say hello.

"Yao, Lin, are you here to cheer us on?"

"Of course! Stephen, I'm really looking forward to your performance."

Dayao responded with a smile.

"OK, I'll show you what a superstar does."

Marbury was also full of confidence at this time.

There is no way, during this period, the Dream Team was synonymous with invincibility.

"We still have to be cautious. After all, Puerto Rico is also a strong team. Previously..."

Dayao didn't say anything else, but his meaning was very clear.

In the previous warm-up match, the Dream Team was defeated by Italy by 17 points.

When Marbury heard this, his face instantly turned dark, but he also knew that Yao Ming meant well.

"That was just an accident. We just didn't get along well at that time. Now we have. The Dream Team is invincible. What does Puerto Rico matter?"

In fact, this is not Marbury's fault. After all, Puerto Rico is a self-made state of the Beautiful Country.

The Dream Team brings together the best players from all over the United States, so how could they not be able to beat a state team?
"Yao and Lin, you also have to work hard and strive to get a good result in the group stage. I am looking forward to playing against you in the next game!"

"The game is about to start. We'll talk after I finish dealing with the Puerto Rican team."

Uh... looking at Marbury, who was full of confidence and did not take the Puerto Rico team seriously at all, Lin Yu felt that the Dream Team would still have to follow the old path of history.

And then...then the Dream Team was pinned to the ground and hammered by the Puerto Rican team.

That's right, the Dream Team was beaten to the ground by the Puerto Rican team.

The whole game, not even a word of exaggeration.

It was a one-sided massacre.

The Dream Team was eventually beaten by the Puerto Rican team by 19 points!
Lin Yu and Yao Ming watched the entire game.

Yao Ming really couldn’t imagine that this was the invincible dream team!
"Dayu, did Iverson, Marbury and the others get food poisoning before the game started?"

"There's nothing wrong with their form, the bottom line is they don't have space to attack and their defense isn't good either."

Lin Yu was not at all surprised by this situation.

The Dream Team had no shooters at the time, and Iverson and Marbury had no space to break through.

In addition, there is no three-second rule under the FIBA ​​system.

As soon as he broke through, he was double-teamed by the opponent.

I won’t comment on Larry Brown’s actual level, but in terms of defensive attainments, he is indeed top-notch in the NBA.

If you ask Larry Brown to handle offense, he really can't do it, and he also wants to compete with Puerto Rico on defense.

But here comes the problem…

Iverson, Stoudemire, Boozer and others are typical representatives of strong offense but weak defense in the NBA.

Although Duncan and Marion are indeed good defensive players in the NBA, the Dream Team only has these two.

But the Dream Team's defensive stalwarts are just Duncan and Marion.

In addition, Wade, James, and Shepherd are still leveling up, and at this time they are directly pressed on the bench by Larry Brown and do not get much playing time.

Before the game started, Marbury and others obviously underestimated their opponent.

Losing to Puerto Rico at this time is actually not unfair at all.

After the game, Marbury simply ignored Yao Ming and Lin Yu.

He threw the towel and walked into the player tunnel without looking back.

Now he is in a very embarrassing situation.

Naturally, I would not go to chat with Lin Yu and Dayao again.

The headlines that originally belonged to Lin Yu were also successfully snatched away by the Dream Team.

The Dream Team lost to Puerto Rico by 19 points in the group stage!
After the Dream Team lost the game, the first to explode were naturally the fans of the Beautiful team.

The Dream Team lost to a state team by almost 20 points!
What the hell is this?!

The Dream Team players were thrown into the conference room at this time.

"Does Marbury know how to play basketball? He rushed in as soon as he got the ball. There were three double-teams in the opponent's penalty area, but he didn't pass the ball!"

"Boozer is outrageous. The opponent passed him in one step. Where is your defense?"

"Marion didn't even take a shot. He missed so many shots. Why did he still play?"

"..."

Naturally, some famous players are needed at this time to help the Dream Team.

Barkley directly criticized the Dream Team on the show.

"If someone had told me a week ago that the Dream Team would lose to Puerto Rico by 19 points, I would have said, 'My friend, you are crazy!'"

"But now all this has actually happened! What we need to do now is to reflect on it."

“Think about why the dream team that once carried the glory and splendor of the beautiful family can’t beat a state team!”

"I hope that in the next game, the players of the Dream Team can find that damn shooting bag back!"

Barkley was also disappointed with the Dream Team.

This is crazy...

What the hell are you hitting!?
