Chapter 1510 All-Star American Team
At the same time, another match in the semi-finals of the Tokyo Olympics also ended.

In the end, the US team defeated the Spanish team 90:80 and successfully advanced to the final.

There is no suspense in this game. It is not that the Spanish team is not strong. In fact, the Spanish team is very strong. They are a veteran team with a balance in all aspects. The Nan Gomez brothers, Mirotic, Calderon, etc. Ibaka, who did not participate in the Basketball World Cup last year, also came this time.

However, even with such a lineup, they are still not the opponents of the US team, because the US team's lineup is too gorgeous.

The lineup of the U.S. team in the Basketball World Cup last year was a bit "shabby". It was often ridiculed by fans, which made Popovich very embarrassed.

This is of course a joke, but it can be seen that the lineup of the US team in the Basketball World Cup last year not only dissatisfied the fans, but also the head coach Popovich.

Therefore, under the lobbying of Mr. Popovich for the Tokyo Olympics, many big-name players have responded to the team's recruitment and are willing to participate in this Olympics.

Of course, there is an important reason that these big-name players have always disliked the Basketball World Cup, and they care more about the Olympics.

The US team's 12-man roster includes James, Durant, Curry, Harden, Westbrook, Davis, George, Zhuang Shen, Butler, Mitchell, Tatum, Joe Harris.

Although there is no Leonard, Irving, Lillard, etc., this lineup is already gorgeous.

The league's top stars, super giants have come, and almost all other players have been selected to the All-Star lineup except for Joe Harris. They are active All-Star players, so fans call this dream team the All-Star Dream Team. Team.

And according to gossip, Thompson originally took the position of Joe Harris. If it were replaced by Thompson, he would really be an All-Star.

It's just that Thompson was unable to play due to injury, and the team needed a player who could shoot three-pointers without occupying the ball, so in the end Popovich left Harris.

Leading by James, Durant, Curry, Harden, etc., plus young players such as Mitchell and Tatum, this is the US team.

This opponent is terrible, so after the Chinese team defeated Serbia and advanced to the final, the players were not in a happy mood, because the next game was too difficult.

The Chinese team reached the finals of the Basketball World Cup last year, and this year they reached the finals again, but the opponent was the American team with an all-star lineup. The players of the Chinese team felt a little desperate.

Meng Yun was still calm, greeted his teammates, and said with a smile: "The US team lineup is very gorgeous, very gorgeous. In terms of book strength, we are far behind them. But book strength doesn't mean everything. Back then in 04 At that time, the US team had a gorgeous lineup, but in the end they lost to Argentina."

Everyone smiled wryly, only taking it as comfort.

After all, the distance between 04 and now is a bit far, and there are so many Olympic Games, not to mention 30 or 2000 years ago, after 04, only in [-], the US team failed to win the championship, and all others won the championship.

It can be said that it was an accident in 04. It wasn't that the U.S. team couldn't beat Argentina, and it wasn't that they didn't have the strength to win the championship. It was just that they lost to Argentina due to some reasons.

And this time the lineup of the US team is really desperate, even more terrifying than the US team in the 04 Olympics.

Meng Yun also knew this, so he said calmly: "I don't mean that we can beat the US team as long as we work hard. In fact, there is a high probability that we will lose, but even if there is only one in ten thousand chance of winning, we should pay a hundred One-hundredth of effort, because if you work hard, there is still an emergency, and if you don’t work hard, there will be nothing left.”

"Besides, we have nothing to lose. We've reached the final and we've proven our strength. It's okay if we don't win the championship. So we don't need to worry about anything. Instead, it's the US team that should be worried."

This is true.

Everyone nodded one after another. Those with bare feet are not afraid of those who wear shoes. Anyway, we don't lose face if we lose. We have nothing to lose. What else is there to worry about?
All in all a fight.

After Meng Yun's words, the players regained some fighting spirit, but they still lack confidence, because the gap is indeed too big.

The final is approaching, and the fans are also talking.

"The Chinese team is really good, even reaching the final."

"They were lucky. They didn't meet the Spanish team. The Spanish team was killed by the American team. If the opponent of the Chinese team in the semi-finals was the Spanish team, the result would be hard to say. But it doesn't matter. The final result is the same. Spain The Chinese team is not the opponent of the US team, and the Chinese team is not the opponent of the US team."

"Well, there is a big gap. The Chinese team relied on Meng Yun, Xiang Long and Yi Jianlian to defeat Serbia in the semi-finals, and the others were useless at all. But against the US team, it is not enough to rely on Meng Yun alone. Yun’s strength is very strong, not losing to James and Durant, and Xiang Long is also good, but it feels worse than Davis, and the gap between Yi Jianlian and them is even greater.”

"Yeah, even if Meng Yun and his three can withstand the three players of the US team, what about the other two? They will also be blown up."

"It is estimated that the Chinese team will lose miserably, even worse than Spain."

"The gap is too big."

People are discussing that no one is optimistic about the Chinese team, because the American team is too strong, and many fans even think that the Chinese team is not as good as the Spanish team. The Spanish team only lost [-] points, and the Chinese team may lose [-] points, or even more. .

Here comes the final.

The men's basketball final attracted much attention. Many fans came to watch it, and countless fans watched it in front of the TV and computer.

Players from both sides have arrived and are warming up on the court.

"Bang!"

There was a bang, but Mitchell dunked.

Some American team players are shooting, and some are performing dunks. For them, dunking is too easy, just like playing. A group of people seem to be playing, talking and laughing and criticizing each other's dunks. Little pressure.

No wonder they do.

Since the group stage, the U.S. team has won every game. They won more than ten points against Serbia, forty points against Nigeria, and twenty points against France. Later, they also won big in the knockout round. Spain also had an easy time.

Even if the Chinese team defeated Greece, Canada, Serbia and other teams and reached the finals, in the eyes of the US team, there is no suspense in this game.
