After the group stage, audiences around the world have already set their sights on the game between the Chinese team and the US team.

For a moment, the leaders of the Chinese delegation instantly rose up.

The Chinese men's basketball team is one of the gold medal points for the delegation's delegation this time. The forward-looking plan of the delegation leaders is to sit and look at one. Now they have to meet this "one" in the quarterfinals in advance, and they are still very uncomfortable.

Although the leaders had long been mentally prepared after agreeing to Chen Xiao's decision, there was still a difference between imagination and reality.

Too hot!

Seriously, this game between China and the American Dream Team is too hot!

Since the Chinese delegation participated in the Olympics, it has never caused such a big deal in the world.

Why are the leaders of the Chinese delegation suddenly so nervous now?

It's not just the world's public opinion.

Even the super leaders in China are paying attention.

This is different.

In an instant, the height of the Chinese team and the American Dream Team was no longer a competition for Olympic gold medals, and the height was infinitely raised.

The quarter-final match between the Chinese men's basketball team and the American Dream Team was the last men's basketball game on August 26, well, the finale.

After the schedules of the Chinese men's basketball team and the American Dream Team came out, Chen Xiao and the Chinese team's players were not as nervous as leaders of the delegation.

Eat, drink, and play.

On August 24, 2004, Chen Xiao and Yao Ming took the Chinese men's basketball team to the scene to watch the women's volleyball team's quarter-finals between the women's volleyball team and the Japanese team, cheering for the women's volleyball team's volleyball team.

Since the Chinese men's basketball team won the runner-up in the World Championships in 2002, the Chinese women's volleyball team and the Chinese men's basketball team have become national idol teams. After winning the runner-up in the 2002 World Championships, RM Daily has also developed a men's basketball spirit.

It can be said that the Chinese men's basketball team went to the home court of the women's volleyball team to catch the popularity, which was simply a "dream linkage" for the Chinese audience in front of the TV.

Amid the cheers of the Chinese men's basketball team, the women's volleyball teams won the Japanese team with a total score of 3-0 (25-20, 25-22, 25-20) and successfully advanced to the semi-finals.

After the game, Chen Xiao took photos with Feng Kun, Yang Hao, Zhou Suhong, Wang Lina, Zhang Na, Liu Yanan and other women's volleyball team members. Unfortunately, Zhao Ruirui and Guliang were injured in the group stage and withdrew from the Olympics.

As the number one player in the Chinese delegation and the number one player in the Chinese sports industry, Chen Xiao was surprised by the way in front of the TV as he followed the girls of the women's volleyball team like a little fan.

However, when Chen Xiao and the women's volleyball team were interviewed by CCTV next time, the audience in front of the TV suddenly realized.

"I grew up listening to the stories of the girls and girls of the women's volleyball team since I was a child. Before I knew Jordan, the magician, and Larry Bird, the names of sports stars I heard were Lang Ping and Qiu Aihua, and they have always been my idols."

Lang Ping won’t talk about it anymore. Qiu Aihua is one of the leading figures of the previous generation of women’s volleyball team, from Suzhou.

The women's volleyball team are more than just Chen Xiao's idols, they are simply idols from several eras.

To be honest, the silence of the women's volleyball team over the years has made many people forget the huge impact of the women's volleyball team. After Chen Xiao awakened everyone's memories, the Chinese audience in front of the TV recalled the greatness of the women's volleyball team once again.

Not only was the audience in front of the TV immersed in Chen Xiao's "praise" and "praise" atmosphere, but even the women's volleyball team Gu Liang was very excited.

So when Chen Xiao and the men's basketball team left, the head coach of the women's volleyball team, Lao Chen, were thanking Xiao Chen.

At the moment when Zhao Ruirui came back and was injured, to be honest, the women's volleyball teams were very nervous, especially after defeating Japan, the next semi-finals may be Cuba, who defeated them in the group stage.

Chen Xiao’s workout here is like giving them a dose of chicken blood.

Women's volleyball teams are never afraid of pressure, they want this kind of identity and sense of glory.

"Xiao Chen, thank you so much this time. Thank you for helping us recall our former glory. This is so important!"

"Guide Chen, we will stand at the top again and overlook the world."

After Chen Xiao and the young men of the Chinese men's basketball team left, Yao Yao has been envious.

"Xiao Chen, I want to have a whole country in 20 years, and there is still a whole country who is obsessed with me, just like Lang Ping back then."

"Yes, Yao, as long as we can win five consecutive World Series, 20 years later, 30 years later, or even 100 years later, we will write into textbooks of Chinese history with Lang Ping and the women's volleyball heroes and become a memory of a country."

"Five consecutive championships in the World Championships..."

Yao Ming and the men's basketball players next to him just envious of the women's volleyball team. They really never thought that they could really get the treatment of the women's volleyball team in China.

"If we count from this year's Diamond Cup, we need to win the world championship until the 2008 Beijing Olympics."

Depend on!

The 2004 Diamond Cup, the 2004 Olympic Games, the 2006 World Championships, the 2008 Diamond Cup, and the 2008 Olympic Games, aren’t it just the right five consecutive World Championships?!

Xiao Chen, you really dare to think about it!

Haha, what do you dare not think about? If I dare not think about this, do I still have to improve my strength?

These are the sources of my strength improvement!

For a time, after Chen Xiao said this, everyone was like a chicken blood after thinking about it.

What Dream Team Six, what Larry Brown, in the face of this great vision, it is really as light as a dust.

As the head coach, Faye Wong was very happy to see the Chinese men's basketball players who were stimulated by Chen Xiao and inspired by the women's volleyball team.

"I think Xiao Chen can be the captain now."

After Coach Faye Wong finished speaking, Teacher Zhang next to him kept nodding.

This suggestion is reasonable!

The two foreign assistant coaches next to them, Spoelstra and Byron Scott, were also looking at Chen Xiao with their eyes shiny.

"Chen never noticed what a great leader he was."

After Byron Scott said that, Spolstra next to him nodded very seriously.

It was August 26, 2004, the day of the Olympic men's basketball quarter-finals.

On this day, the Olympic men's basketball quarter-finals will fight against each other.

The first ones appeared were Lithuania, the number one in Group A and Argentina, the number one in Group B. Speaking of this game, we have to say that Argentina will not be able to steal the chickens.

Argentina originally wanted third place, but unexpectedly, Italy was too strong and fell to fourth place in the group.

This Olympic Games in Lithuania are quite powerful.

Although Lithuania, Greece and Puerto Rico, both of the top three in Group B, defeated the Dream Team, the truly recognized super strong team is Lithuania.

Greece and Puerto Rico are actually average in Argentina.

But the mechanism is too smart, and after calculating Qingqing's name, who would have thought that Italy is as Dior?

In fact, Italy is the only team in the group stage of this Olympic Games that threatened the Chinese team. In the end, Chen Xiao and the Chinese team fought and won 3 points.

Italy at this Olympics is very strong.

In fact, the finals of this Olympic Games in history were Argentina and Italy.

In history, Argentina defeated Italy, but in the group stage in history, Argentina obviously underestimated the enemy and was defeated by Italy.

I have to say that people in South American countries are always so romantic.

No matter what, I have to finish the P I made with tears in my mind.

It can only be said that Argentina is still strong. Under the leadership of Ginobili and Scola, Argentina defeated Lithuania 90-83.

The fourth-place team in Group A actually defeated the first-place team in Group B.

"Is Group A so strong in this Olympics?"

After the game, many people were shocked.

Soon, the results of the next two games added another shock to this shock.

Spain, second in Group A, faced Puerto Rico, third in Group B, and Spain finally defeated Puerto Rico 92 to 75.

In the match between Italy, third in Group A and Greece, second in Group B, Italy also easily defeated Greece 100-85.

In the previous three quarter-finals knockout matches, Group B defeated the three teams of Team USA and was wiped out.

This result not only shocked the entire Olympic venue. To be honest, the players of the American Dream Team and the American audience in the United States who were waiting for the Chinese team to play against the American Dream Team were also shocked.

"The three opponents we lost in the group stage actually arrived at the knockout stage and couldn't win a single game? How is this possible?!"

In TNT's studio, Pippen and Barkley, who were in the Crazy Squirt Team Six before, were shocked.

"Larry Brown said that the failure of the Dream Six team this time group stage is related to the fact that the group is too strong, and this is simply a slap in the face on the spot!"

"As a result, Larry Brown's face was beaten to pieces. Spain, Argentina, Italy, this is too cruel. Larry Brown is so miserable!"

In fact, Larry Brown was also extremely shocked by this result.

To be honest, before the results of the three knockout matches were released, Larry Brown really thought that the US team was so miserable because the opponent was too strong.

Lithuania, Greece, and Puerto Rico are all very strong.

But after these teams played against the three opponents in Group A, Larry Brown felt like he was crazy.

Except for Lithuania who barely scored 55 with Argentina, the other two teams that beat their teams and were defeated!

Their first group and fourth group were barely tied for 55, and the scores were behind in the game.

To be honest, this result is really hurting self-esteem and confidence.

You always thought that the one who defeated you was the Supreme Martial Arts and the Kung Fu Master, but in the end you discovered that the one who defeated you was actually a "little bastard".

Here are just examples, there is no meaning to look down on Lithuania, Greece and Puerto Rico.

In short, after these three games, many American experts and reporters who felt that although the US team was fourth in the group, they were very likely to defeat the Chinese team were panicked.

"You know, the strongest people in Group A are not Argentina, Spain and Italy, but the Chinese team!"

"I have a premonition that in this game, the Dream Team Six will make big news!"

Listening to the booing of the audience, many American journalists already felt that they were in pain and excited.

They may have to eat their own blood buns!

At 22:15 pm on August 26th, Greece time, and at 3:15 AM on August 27th, Beijing time, the match between the Chinese men's basketball team and the American Dream Team officially kicked off.

After the warm-up between the two teams, both starters appeared on the court.

On the Chinese side, the starting players are center Yao Ming, power forward Bago, small forward Zhu Fangyu, shooting guard Li Nan, and organization guard Chen Xiao.
