In the second round of the group stage, the United States easily defeated the Angola team 97-76. After the game, Krzyzewski couldn't wait to find the video of the match between the Chinese team and the Spanish team.
The Spanish team is obviously the biggest opponent of the Dream 8 team on the road to winning the championship, and there will be an encounter between the American team and the Spanish team in the group stage, so Krzyzewski must know the current situation of the Spanish team and their weaknesses. where.
The next day, Krzyzewski finally found the game video. He immediately summoned the assistant coach and all the members of the Dream Team to study it carefully.
"The Spanish team made too many mistakes." Kobe said, shaking his head.
Kidd nodded in agreement: "The Spanish team's tactics don't seem to work well!"
"The Chinese team's point guard No. 5 performed very well today and his shooting percentage was very high."
"But he doesn't seem to provide many assists. His style of play is more like a shooting guard, rather than an organizer. Yao sent several assists, and the No. 9, he is more like an organizer." Paul said immediately.
"I have an impression of No. 9. When we played the last game against the Chinese team, No. 9 even chatted with Kobe for a few words. He seemed to be the rookie selected by the Lakers in the second round last year!" Deron said. while looking at Kobe.
Kobe did not answer, but said: "The speed of the Chinese team's No. 4 is still very fast! Unfortunately, it is still unstable."
"The big man who came off the bench on No. 14 performed much better than Yi. He must be the first Asian to enter the NBA. He played for the Dallas Mavericks before." Reid pointed at the TV and said.
"He shoots quite accurately. He is a big man who is good at shooting. I spent some effort guarding him in the last game." It was Prince who spoke.
"The Chinese people's physical strength has begun to decline. You see, they can't keep up with their movements and have not scored for several consecutive goals." As Boozer spoke, the Spanish team had already tied the score.
"It's evenly divided. Yao has committed four fouls. The Chinese team's offense has been blocked. Now the Spanish team obviously has the advantage. They should be able to overtake the score soon. I don't know how the Chinese team won in the end." Kidd said.
"The Chinese team called a timeout. They really should call a timeout at this time. The Chinese team made a substitution. Wait, that's Zhang Guan!" Howard shouted and jumped up from his chair.
"Dwight, sit down quickly, you are so big, you are blocking me!" Wade behind him immediately expressed his dissatisfaction.
Howard sat down, and on the video screen, Zhang Guan had already walked onto the court.
"It's really Zhang Guan, the Chinese team actually sent him on the field at such a critical time!" James said in disbelief.
"I remember that Zhang Guan didn't get a chance to play in the game against us. I thought he was just a cover, but I didn't expect him to really be able to play."
"Maybe this is just a confusing tactic by the Chinese team?"
The next moment, Zhang Guan accelerated and easily broke through Rubio.
"What a quick start, what a sharp breakthrough!"
"Not many people in the NBA can achieve this speed!"
"Sure enough, when Zhang Guan gets on the basketball court, he mainly uses his speed."
Next to him, D'Antoni, an assistant coach, stared at Zhang Guan on the screen with gleaming eyes.
"It took less than four seconds for one person to bring the ball from the backcourt to the frontcourt, and then lay up. This kind of fast break really suits my taste!"
"Wow! Dunk! Dunk on Gasol from the front! It's so cool!" Howard grinned like a child.
Kobe shook his head helplessly. Gasol has been criticized for his soft style of play. Especially in this year's NBA Finals, Gasol was completely outplayed by Garnett, which indirectly led to the Lakers' loss. Gave it to the Celtics and lost the championship.
"It turns out it was because of Zhang Guan. Zhang Guan's last two attacks were so fatal. I really didn't expect that the Spanish team would lose to Zhang Guan in the end." Krzyzewski leaned back on his chair and continued: "It was really a surprise victory. Yunus, an old fox, deliberately ambush Zhang Guan and wait until the most critical moment to send him."
"Zhang Guan's speed is really fast. If he dribbled the ball, it would be difficult for him to press the Chinese team full court!" D'Antoni said.
"Yes, the Chinese team has always lacked point guards with strong personal abilities. Now they have finally made up for this shortcoming. At least Zhang Guan is the best in the world in terms of physical fitness, much stronger than ordinary European and American players." Shevsky stretched and then said: "But we don't have to worry. If we want to meet the Chinese team again, we have to at least reach the semi-finals. The possibility of the Chinese men's basketball team entering the semi-finals is not high."
"The Chinese team is the host, after all, it is playing at home..." D'Antoni said.
"I know that there is no problem for the Chinese team to qualify in Group B. I predict that the Chinese team will qualify as third or fourth in the group. In that case, the Chinese team will encounter the first or fourth player in Group A in the quarterfinals. Second, it’s either Argentina or Lithuania. Do you think the Chinese team can beat them?" Krzyzewski said with a smile.
"The Chinese team should not be able to beat Argentina, but it is hard to say for Lithuania. Don't forget that Yunas is a Lithuanian. He should know the Lithuanian team very well. Maybe he has some way to restrain Lithuania."
…
On August 12, the Chinese team won a total of four gold medals, one silver medal and one bronze medal, but the topic of discussion was still the Chinese team's victory over Spain, and the number of video clicks of this game on the Internet was also rising sharply.
Zhang Guan's two goals in the last moment naturally became a hot topic, especially the forced dunk on Gasol at the end, which attracted a lot of praise. However, Zhang Guan has no time to pay attention to this. He will participate in the third round of tennis at 16:00 on August 13th.
There are only 64 players participating in Olympic tennis, so by the third round only 16 players are left.
Zhang Guan's opponent in the third round was an Austrian player named Jürgen Melzer. Melzer once won a Grand Slam championship in men's doubles, but his singles world ranking is not high. However, Melzer is a player with a very good image. At least according to European and American standards, Melzer is long. Very handsome.
Melzer is also a famous playboy in the tennis world. He had a relationship with many WTA players, such as Myskina, Vaidisova, and Cibulkova. In the end, he married Benesova, but the four Still divorced a year later.
In tennis, players who are good at picking up girls are often not very strong. Melzer's limited strength obviously did not hinder Zhang Guan. Zhang Guan easily defeated Melzer 6-3 in two sets and advanced to the quarterfinals.
In tennis, Zhang Guan did not encounter strong opponents in the first three rounds. This is also an advantage of being a host. The organizer took care of it in advance during the grouping. But now that they have reached the quarterfinals, this kind of caring effect has disappeared. The players who can enter the quarterfinals of the Olympic Games are all strong players. Therefore, in the next tennis competition, every game will be a tough battle for Zhang Guan.
On August 14, Zhang Guan will face two more competitions. The tennis quarter-finals will be against American star Blake, and the men's basketball team will be against Angola in the basketball arena. More importantly, the track and field competition will officially begin tomorrow. Zhang Guan will face a devilish schedule and participate in three major events of the Olympic Games at the same time.
