Chapter 742 Leave it to me
The national team went through all kinds of difficulties and dangers, but failed to create a miracle after all. They went one step further in the knockout round, and fell in the quarter-finals just like the previous one.

After all, the Huaxia team lost to the Croatian team 81:104 and stopped in the quarterfinals.

Although he couldn't go any further, Director Jiang was quite satisfied with this result. There was nothing more gratifying than this to lead a team that alternated between old and new to achieve the goals set before the season.

As for creating better results, Director Jiang didn't even dare to think about it, at least not this year.

Unlike the Huaxia National Team, the Dream Team has entered the semi-finals smoothly by virtue of their strong strength. Next, they will face the Lithuanian team, the strongest opponent that the Dream Team has previously scheduled.

In the starting lineup of this Lithuanian team, 4 people participated in the Seoul Olympics, and they were the main lineup of the former Soviet team that defeated the US team at that time.

Therefore, as early as before the game, the dream team coaching staff began to formulate various tactics, trying to kill all possibilities in the cradle.

At the final mobilization meeting before the game, in the locker room, Nelson made the final tactical arrangement, "In addition to Sabonis, you also need to pay attention to Matthew Leonis on the outside. Don't think he is just a substitute for the Warriors, but I Knowing his strength, if you underestimate him, you will definitely pay a heavy price."

Jordan chewed his gum and said to Nelson, "Don't worry, Nellie, I'm the one who will keep an eye on your lover, and I won't give him the slightest chance."

Hearing what Jordan said, Nelson stopped saying anything. After all, what else could he say after Jordan said that?What else could he do but trust Jordan?
Even before Jordan said this, he went to play a 36-hole round of golf. He didn't rush there until the team was about to get on the bus, but even so, Nelson still couldn't question him.

In fact, Nelson did not doubt that Jordan was right. Jordan may do some outrageous things off the court, but on the court, he is the god of basketball and one of the most trustworthy stars of all coaches.

That's right, one of these was added at the joint request of Li Weisi and the magician. After all, the two of them would never admit that they are inferior to Jordan!
Sure enough, after the game started, just as Jordan said, after Ewing successfully jumped the ball, Jordan brought the ball to the frontcourt. After using Ewing's pick-and-roll, he made a clean mid-range jumper and scored the first for the Dream Team. two points.

After that, the magician received a pass from Li Weisi and hit a rare three-pointer against the defender. How confident is this shot.

Then, Jordan grabbed the rebound from Sabonis's head, carried Sabonis's huge body and made a layup, and after that, Jordan succeeded in stealing from Matthew Leonis's hands, and made a fast break layup. .

In the opening game, under Jordan's active performance, the Dream Team beat the Lithuanian team 9:0. From the appearance of the scene, this so-called strongest enemy, Lithuania, is no different from other opponents before.

In fact, although the Dream Team attached great importance to Lithuania, Lithuania never expected to win this game, and they were indeed not as good as Nelson imagined.

Even before the game, the only tactical instruction the Lithuanian coach gave his players was to try to keep the Dream Team players out of the box and force them to shoot jumpers.

However, as far as the current effect is concerned, this is really useless. Even the magician can hit a three-pointer. How could the rest of the dream team not make it? (Magician: I feel like I'm offended.)
Although after the start, Jordan was very expressive in the offense and played vigorously. He almost tore through the entire defense line of the Lithuanian team with his own strength, but what really shocked him was his defense against Matthew Leonis. .

As the super substitute of the Warriors, it can be said that in the just-concluded 91-92 season, Matthew Leonis was the timing organizer of the Warriors' bench lineup. Not enough, but as an outside playmaker, he is definitely qualified.

But it was such an excellent player who was so defended by Jordan that he couldn't even touch the ball, especially in a period of more than six minutes shortly after the opening, Matthew Leonis was almost in the Lithuanian team's offense. end disappeared.

And the teammates who are used to the Matthew Leonis organization naturally seem at a loss when facing an offense without Matthew Leonis, and fall into inefficient singles. Even Sabonis, it is impossible to rely on one person. The oppressive defense against the dream team drove the entire team.

In this way, with Jordan's flying dunk in the fast break, the score was fixed at 31:8, holding a huge lead of 23 points, and Nelson replaced Jordan with confidence.

At this time, Jordan has scored 12 points alone, and more importantly, he defended Matthew Leonis without scoring 1 point.

After Jordan was replaced, Matthew Leonis felt that he had suddenly gained the right to breathe, like a drowning person, finally sticking his head out of the sea.

Soon, under the defense of Drexler, Matthew Leonis successfully scored a goal through the European step.

Seeing the goal, Jordan on the sidelines angrily pointed at Drexler and yelled, "Clyde? What are you doing? Can you defend?"

Faced with Jordan's scolding, Drexler did not speak, but also took out his best defense to face Matthew Leonis.

Poor Matthew Leonis, when was he targeted like this? Besides, the boss of this team is Sabonis!What can you do to prevent me?
In any case, the dual-core Lithuanian team, after one core was abolished, the entire team had serious problems. It was playing normally, and the Lithuanian team was not the opponent of the dream team. Now that one core has been abolished, then The death penalty can almost be announced in advance!
The final score was fixed at 127:76, and the Dream Team won by 51 points. Previously, the Dream Team valued the most and expected the most difficult game, which turned into a tragic massacre.

Of the 12 players in the Dream Team, 9 scored in double figures. Among them, Jordan scored a game-high 21 points, and this is almost the data Jordan got in only the first half.

Who knows, if Jordan didn't play 36 holes of golf before the game, but 18 holes, would his performance be more perfect?
Regardless of the performance of the Dream Team players, the game is over after all. After crushing all the way, the Dream Team finally came to the last stop. Next, they will face their defeat in the group stage in the finals, the Croatian team .
