Chapter 90: Washing away the shame starts from Dragon Country?
8 month 23 day.

Today is the last group match of the men's basketball team.

The opponent is Serbia and Montenegro.

Although Serbia and Montenegro were the world champions two years ago, many of their main players, including 'the man who was traded for Kobe' Divac, Stojakovic and others, did not come this time.

Therefore, Serbia and Montenegro struggled in the group stage.

They were defeated by Spain and Argentina successively, and only achieved a record of 2 wins and 2 losses.

In the original history, the Serbia-Montenegro team was also defeated by the men's basketball team.

With Lin Yu in this history, it is easier to beat Sai Hei.

Serbia and Montenegro's star player, 'FIBA killer' Radmanovic, felt directly what the death coil was!
Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

拉德曼诺维奇在林禹的死亡缠绕之下，全场17投仅3中，三分球6中1，罚球4中3，砍下10分3篮板。

The shot was shockingly missable.

Serbian and Montenegrin fans once suspected that Radmanovic was involved in football betting!
Otherwise, how could he be so iron-willed?

最终，靠着林禹的20分8助攻5篮板，大姚的18分11篮板3盖帽，男篮以87：75轻松击败了塞黑队。

The men's basketball team also successfully topped Group A with 4 wins and 1 loss in the group stage.

After the men's basketball game, Lithuania defeated Australia 88:79 and the Dream Team defeated Angola 89:53.

In the last game, Greece defeated Puerto Rico with a score of 78:58.

Because Puerto Rico had beaten the Dream Team before, even though their records were the same, Puerto Rico ranked third in Group B and the Dream Team could only rank fourth.

Teams that qualified from Group A: Men's basketball team, Spanish Ducks, Argentina, and Italian Power.

Teams that qualified from Group B: Lithuania, Greece, Puerto Rico, and the Dream Team.

Men's basketball vs. Dream Team!
When this result comes out.

Coach Zhang was originally celebrating the men's basketball team's first qualification as the first in the group stage.

The smile on his face froze instantly and his expression became very solemn.

"No matter what the final result is, we still want to congratulate the boys of the men's basketball team for advancing as the first in the group stage for the first time."

"Even if we can't make it to the quarterfinals, we still have hope. At least Dayu and Yao Ming are still young. We are looking forward to the 08 Olympics..."

Not only was Coach Zhang pessimistic about the men's basketball team's advancement, but the Dragon Country fans were also wailing at this time.

"Fuck! Playing against the Dream Team? What the hell is going on?"

"This is the first time in the history of the men's basketball team that they have won first place in the group, but I really don't want to see the men's basketball team win first place in the group now."

"No matter how bad the Dream Team is, it is still the Dream Team. There are reasons for their loss in the group stage. If they really play, the men's basketball team is no match for them!"

"I now suspect that the men's basketball team is cursed by the quarterfinals. They finally had a chance to break into the quarterfinals, but ended up running into the Dream Team."

"..."

Olympic village.

At this time, all the men's basketball players gathered together.

The whole house was dead silent, and many people looked very solemn.

Coaches Harris and Jonas looked even more worried at this time.

The two had always wanted to avoid the Dream Team, but in the end the men's basketball team still faced the Dream Team!
Harris was the first to speak, breaking the silence.

"Being able to reach the quarterfinals means I have completed the task assigned to me by the men's basketball team leaders. I wanted to avoid the Dream Team in the quarterfinals, but I didn't in the end."

"Next, I hope you can perform normally against the Dream Team, even though the Dream Team is very strong."

"But both the Puerto Rico team and the Lithuania Bowl team have shown us with their actions that the Dream Team is not invincible!" Although Harris believes that the hope of defeating the Dream Team is slim, he is still willing to give it a try.

At this time, Yao Ming also spoke up: "The coach is right, the Dream Team is not invincible. Puerto Rico and the Lithuania Bowl can beat the Dream Team, why can't we?"

Even after the coach and Yao Ming spoke one after another, the atmosphere in the room was still dead silent.

Lin Yu knew that the situation could not continue.

"I know a lot of people thought it was impossible for us to beat the Dream Team."

As soon as Lin Yu opened his mouth, he instantly attracted the attention of everyone in the room.

Relying on his strong ability of scoring 60 points in a single game, Lin Yu has now won the respect of all the men's basketball players.

"If you really have such an idea, then say it out loud. In the next game against the Dream Team, I will tell the coach that you don't need to play and you can sit on the bench as a spectator."

"Before the game starts, no one knows who will win or lose. I will not admit defeat, Yao Ming will not admit defeat, and my teammates also need to be a group of men who will not admit defeat!"

"Even if we are defeated by the Dream Team in the end, I can leave the court with dignity because I know that I tried my best!"

"Instead of facing the Dream Team and getting beaten like a stray dog!"

Dayao also continued to strike while the iron was hot and said: "That's right, we have to leave like a man, not like a stray dog!"

Finally, encouraged by Lin Yu and Yao Ming, the men's basketball team rekindled their fighting spirit.

"That's right. Even if I lose, I can't let the Dream Team win easily."

"I don't want to tell my son in the future that I was beaten like a stray dog ​​by the Dream Team. I want to fight the Dream Team to the end!"

"If Puerto Ricans can beat the Dream Team, so can we! The Dream Team is not superhuman."

"..."

Looking at the men's basketball players who had rekindled their fighting spirit, Harris looked at Lin Yu and Yao Ming with a hint of relief in his eyes.

Beautiful home.

When they learned that the Dream Team’s opponent was the Dragon Country Men’s Basketball Team, all the fans in the Beautiful Country were looking forward to it.

Not expecting the Dream Team to beat the Dragon Country men's basketball team.

After all, in the previous matches between the two teams, the Dream Team always won by several tens of points in any game.

Facing such an opponent, it is naturally impossible for the fans of the United States to expect the Dream Team to defeat the Dragon Country men's basketball team.

What the Meilijia fans are looking forward to is the performance of the two No. 1 picks of the Longguo men's basketball team in this game.

"I don't know, what kind of performance can Lin Yu perform against Duncan?"

"If Lin Yu can score 30 points, the Dream Team will lose. The Dream Team is not one of those European teams that have poor physical fitness and can only rely on teamwork."

"That's right, whether it's Duncan or Marion, they can limit Lin Yu one-on-one and won't let Lin Yu score easily."

"Lin Yu, who was invincible in the NCAA and played like a superstar in the Olympics, is about to suffer the first painful defeat in his career!"

"..."

ESPN even used "Washing away the shame starts with defeating the Dragon National Men's Basketball Team" as the headline on its front page.

Some NBA legends also expressed their views on this game.

Mr. Pi, who just retired, has been outspoken in his pessimism about the Chinese men's basketball team.

"If the loss to Puerto Rico was due to the team's adjustment, and the loss to Lithuania was due to Jasikevicius's last-minute performance, then what was the reason for the loss to the Dragon Country men's basketball team?"

"I have a hundred reasons to support the Dragon National Men's Basketball Team to win, such as "Lin Yu scored 60 points" and "Yao broke through the Dream Team's restricted area by himself"..."

"But I can't find any reason for the Dream Team to lose!"

"Just like ESPN said, let's start washing away the shame by defeating the Dragon Country men's basketball team!"
