Chapter 842 August 23rd

August 23rd, Athens Olympic Basketball Arena, the Chinese men's basketball team officially ushered in the quarter-finals of the Olympic men's basketball event against the Puerto Rican men's basketball team.

As one of the participants in the "Dream Team upset" at this Olympic Games...

If you were to ask American fans which of their losses at the Athens Olympics they could least accept, the answer would definitely be the game between the United States and Puerto Rico.

Because anyone with a little geographical knowledge knows that Puerto Rico is a self-governing territory of the United States.

Therefore, in the eyes of American fans, being defeated by the Puerto Rican men's basketball team at the Olympics is the reality they can least accept.

In Su Feng's original timeline, the Chinese men's basketball team had played against Puerto Rico in both the 2006 World Championships and the 2010 World Championships.

From a stylistic point of view, in addition to Arroyo and Alfonso, this team from Puerto Rico also inherited the traditional style of American teams, which is to be good at small tricks and rely on acting to gain advantages on the court.

In his previous life, before the start of the 2006 World Championships, the Chinese men's basketball team had already formed a grudge with Puerto Rico at the Stankovic Cup.

And in the 2006 World Championships, Puerto Rican center Ramos even used his head to bump Yao Ming's brow bone in the game, trying to provoke Yao Ming.

As a result, after that game, even the always rational Jonas cursed.

Because in Jonas' view, in that game, the referee not only turned a blind eye to the various small actions of the Puerto Rican players on the court, but also once their small guards broke in, the Chinese big men would inevitably receive fouls.

Fortunately, in the subsequent game against Slovenia, Wang Shipeng shot the most wonderful buzzer-beater in the history of the Chinese men's basketball team.

At the same time, the Chinese men's basketball team also eliminated Puerto Rico through the advantage of small points.

Otherwise, for Chinese fans who watched the game against Puerto Rico, wouldn't they be half-dead with anger?

On the 22nd, the night before the game against Puerto Rico, Su Feng warned Yao Ming to remain calm in this game.

Then, he immediately turned around and ran to the rooms of Zhu Fangyu and Battelle.

As the saying goes, if others don't offend me, I won't offend them; if others offend me, I will offend them first.

In Su Feng's opinion, it would be fine if the Puerto Rican players played well in the game.

But if they still want to use dirty tricks to gain advantages, Su Feng doesn't mind letting one or two players from their team retire early.

And so...

On the evening of the 23rd, at the Athens Olympic Basketball Arena, after the players from both teams finished warming up, the Chinese fans at the scene and in front of the TV were surprised to find that the Chinese men's basketball team had actually put Yao Ming and Hu Weidong on the bench tonight!

On the court, Battelle, Su Feng, Zhu Fangyu, Zhang Jinsong, and Guo Shiqiang stood in a row.

At this time, the head coach of the Puerto Rican men's basketball team, Toro, felt that he had once again ushered in a good opportunity to make a name for himself.

Because...

In his opinion, judging from the starting lineup sent by the Chinese men's basketball team tonight...

It is obvious that the Chinese men's basketball team didn't take Puerto Rico seriously.

Therefore, as long as Puerto Rico can seize the opportunity tonight...

Then he will be able to lead Puerto Rico to defeat both the United States and China, the two major favorites for the championship, at this Olympic Games.

It's a pity...

It's just that Su Feng didn't know Toro's thoughts.

Otherwise, he would definitely tell Toro the cruel truth.

In fact, in order to prepare for this game against Puerto Rico, Su Feng even had a unique wrestling competition with Battelle in the training hall after getting up this morning.

So, didn't take Puerto Rico seriously?

In the center of the court, after Battelle overpowered Puerto Rican center Santiago to jump for the ball for the Chinese men's basketball team, Su Feng encountered Ayuso's "mad dog entanglement" just after passing halftime.

And off the court, when he noticed Ayuso constantly using his elbow to hit Su Feng's kidneys, the young Yao Ming immediately couldn't hold back.

In Su Feng's original timeline, many Chinese fans always thought that Yao Ming was an honest and honest person.

But in fact, this little Yao is far more passionate than people think when it comes to the interests of the men's basketball team on the international stage.

Therefore, Su Feng's suggestion to Zhang Bin to let little Yao be a substitute tonight is to let him know how to deal with opponents like Puerto Rico.

On the wing, facing Alfonso's provocation and those bad moves, Su Feng was not angry at all, but instead gave him a big smile.

Thanks to Alfonso, old iron, for the "grinding king gift package"!

In his mind, accompanied by one ding after another...

Tonight, the speed at which Su Feng's "cheat" was activated was simply comparable to Iverson's butterfly step, Wade's lightning step, and O'Neal's well-known...

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

On the wing, just after receiving Battelle's hanging pass, Su Feng retreated Ayuso like a tank.

And then, after turning around and entering the penalty area, Su Feng hit the backboard hard against Puerto Rican center Santiago.

At this time, before the referee blew his whistle, Santiago let out a scream first.

It turned out that when Su Feng just took off, this guy wanted to trick Su Feng.

However...

How could Su Feng, a veteran who has been on the battlefield for a long time, let Santiago's bad moves escape his eyes?

In the restricted area, noticing that Santiago stretched out an unfriendly foot towards his landing direction, Su Feng didn't even think about it when landing, and stomped **** on the guy's ankle.

And in an instant, Santiago, who tried to steal a chicken but lost the rice, collapsed like this.

CCTV, after watching Santiago's every move just now through slow-motion replay, Zhang guided angrily said: "He definitely did it on purpose!"

And aside, Yu Jia also echoed: "If this action is in the NBA, it will be directly ejected from the court."

On the court, just as Santiago, who fell on the floor, was still crying, Su Feng had already rushed to the technical table first.

Pa!

After slapping hard on the technical table, Su Feng pointed at the staff in front of the technical table and rebuked: "Why isn't this ball a two-plus-one?

Why didn't the referee blow his whistle?

Didn't you see him trying to pad my feet?"

At the scene, with the slow-motion replay on the big screen, the American commentator also spoke out for Su Feng: "Maybe the one lying on the court at this time is the center of Puerto Rico...

But I really can't imagine, if Su hadn't maintained his balance when landing, would he have been seriously injured because of it."

Athens Olympic Basketball Arena, the Puerto Rican players who originally wanted to take the opportunity to provoke were already petrified when they noticed Su Feng's furious expression.

Damn it!

The one who was injured was obviously our center!

But why do you look like you are the victim?

On the court, after venting his anger on the staff at the technical table, Su Feng did not forget to turn his head and look at the referee and said: "If you can't even make such simple judgments, then in my opinion, fiBA should just disband as soon as possible!

After this game, I will definitely post all the injustices I encountered in this game online!

And by that time, it's none of my business how people will see it!"

Although in the fiBA arena, technical fouls are also counted in the player's total number of fouls.

But at this moment, looking at Su Feng, the three referees tonight didn't even dare to move.

Not to mention Su Feng's appeal in the international basketball world...

Just try to think about it.

If Su Feng really posted the injustices he encountered in this game online, then wouldn't these three referees be cyberbullied to death at that time?

Tonight, in the face of national interests, Su Feng didn't mind playing rogue on the court like Jordan.

Anyway, to put it bluntly...

If you want to play well, then we will play well.

But if you don't want to play well.

Then I have a way to let you know what it means not to play well.

On the court, after Santiago was carried off the court, Puerto Rico then replaced their center Ramos, who was 222 centimeters tall.

At this time, compared to the beginning of the game, the Puerto Rican players were obviously much lower-key.

In the restricted area, even when Ramos was elbowed by Da Ba while fighting for rebounds, he obediently retreated to his own half.

According to Su Feng's pre-match instructions, in this game, Battelle directly swung his big elbow when protecting rebounds.

In his previous life, as the main player in the Puerto Rican team responsible for messing with Yao Ming's mentality, Ramos was also a famous "hot-tempered" player after landing in the CBA in the future.

But with Battelle's early experience of hugging O'Neal in the NBA...

Plus Su Feng's temper that was even more explosive than his own...

Facts have proved.

You can't reason with players like Ramos.

On the basketball court, you can't reason with people when you should.

On the court, the Chinese men's basketball team attacked, Da Ba's strong attack inside failed, and Su Feng directly followed up with a dunk.

And in order to avoid being targeted by his opponents after landing, this time after successfully dunking, Su Feng did not forget to hang on the basket for a while, and while doing pull-ups, he used his knees to sweep away a circle of obstacles in front of him.

4 to 0.

In front of the TV, watching Su Feng's incomparably domineering dunk celebration, the rabbits immediately felt extremely relieved.

And in turn, perhaps because he was provoked by Su Feng's arrogant celebration just now, in this ball, Ramos actually wanted to complete the attack against Da Ba.

As a result...

Before Ramos' feet even left the ground, Su Feng, who was in place to help defend, directly knocked him and the ball to the ground.

And on the sidelines, in order to make up for Su Feng's foot pad by Santiago in the opening attack, the referees did not call a foul on this ball either.

On the court, the Chinese men's basketball team then launched a transition offense.

Zhu Fangyu received a pass from Su Feng on the left bottom corner and made a fast-break three-pointer.

7 to 0.

On the bench of the Puerto Rican men's basketball team, Toro had to request a timeout.

At this time, because the Athens Olympic Basketball Arena tonight was contracted by Chinese students and Chinese tourists, Su Feng once again came to the technical table, constantly waving his arms, signaling the audience not to be like they hadn't eaten when cheering.

After the timeout, the game continued.

Puerto Rico attacked.

Ramos, who felt more and more wronged in his heart, tried to teach the Chinese men's basketball team's outside players with his big elbow when screening for Arroyo at the high post.

However, before his big elbow could swing out, Zhu Fangyu, who had just learned a few "black technologies" from Su Feng before the game, directly elbowed him in the waist.

The referee didn't call a foul on this ball either.

And because he couldn't get Ramos' screen, Arroyo's dry three-pointer also deviated from the basket under Zhu Fangyu's interference.

In the restricted area, Da Ba roared to the sky while protecting this backcourt rebound for the Chinese men's basketball team.

And on the bench of the Chinese men's basketball team, little Yao felt that the bloodiness of this game had far exceeded his imagination.

In the eyes of the young Yao Ming, Feng Ge, Da Ba, and Xiao Zhu are simply the gods of war in Athens at this moment!

Although the Puerto Rican players seemed to have restrained themselves a lot on the surface...

But in the face of this national war, Su Feng, Battelle, and Zhu Fangyu also suffered a lot of losses while fighting wits and courage with the Puerto Rican players.

But...

No matter how the Puerto Rican players provoked on the court, Su Ba and Zhu were like Dinghaishenzhen, guarding this Chinese men's basketball team.

At the end of the first quarter, the Chinese men's basketball team led 22 to 11.

At this time, looking at the bruises on Su Feng, Battelle, and Zhu Fangyu, the other members of the Chinese men's basketball team were all indignant.

"Let me tell you first, we came to Athens to win the gold medal, to bring back a gift for our motherland through a 'fair, open, and just' competition.

So no matter what way they use to compete with us, we must be calm!"

In the second quarter, when Zhu Fangyu and Battelle went off to rest, Su Feng said to the boys of the men's basketball team.

And hearing this, Yao Ming, who was already hungry and thirsty, could no longer hold back his Pangu axe?

In Su Feng's original timeline, some Yao haters even went so far as to say that Ramos exploded Yao Ming in 2006 in order to smear Yao Ming.

But...

Excuse me, judging from Yao Ming's performance of 29 points and 8 rebounds before being sent off at the time, and Ramos' data of 0 points and 2 rebounds in the whole game, this t

As a result, this outside player who had a "Jordan addiction" when facing the American men's basketball team was quickly beaten back to his original form by Su Feng.

What a joke?

Su Feng has played against the authentic Jordan, how could he be afraid of this "copycat Jordan"?

At halftime, the Chinese men's basketball team led 45 to 24.

During the halftime break, Puerto Rican coach Toro originally planned to communicate with the referee about the penalty scale issue tonight.

But before he could finish speaking, the three referees said to him: "Penalty scale?

To be honest, we have already taken good care of Puerto Rico tonight, otherwise, you wouldn't think that you are only 20 points behind now, would you?"

Tonight, because they were worried about being settled by Su Feng after the game, the referees chose not to call some fouls that could or could not be called, except for malicious fouls.

Because in the eyes of the referees, such a penalty could at least allow them to defend themselves when facing cyber violence, and their penalty scale had never changed.

As a result, in fact, from the perspective of the game process, it was actually detrimental to the Chinese men's basketball team.

Because Yao Ming and Su Feng's shots that could have been two-plus-one, as long as the Puerto Rican players didn't make any bad moves during defense, the referees simply couldn't be bothered to call them.

After the halftime break, in the second half of the game, the Chinese men's basketball team did not slack off under the premise that Su Feng set an example.

And that Ramos, who was known for his "hot temper", after madly cutting his third rebound in the game, also took the "luxury data" of 0 points and 3 rebounds, as well as the "glorious" performance of "blowing up the Chinese men's basketball team's inside group", and was sent off the field at the end of the third quarter.

Inside, after losing Ramos' protection, Puerto Rico had to replace another substitute forward with a similar height to Su Feng to top Yao Ming and Da Ba.

And at this time, even if Arroyo and Ayuso gradually regained their touch, it was of no avail.

In the end, the Chinese men's basketball team defeated Puerto Rico 91 to 65 in this quarter-final, successfully advancing to the semi-finals.

After the game, during an interview, Su Feng, who deliberately bared his upper body and showed the wounds on his body, said: "I don't understand why people always say that there are so many inside stories in the NBA.

At least when I played in the NBA, I never felt that I would encounter obvious discrimination on the court like I did tonight."

In Su Feng's opinion, if you can still find the rules in the NBA's referees' penalty scale during the Stern era...

Then fiBA's penalty...

Can really only be described as "demons dancing wildly".

In this game against Puerto Rico, if Su Feng hadn't firmly expressed his attitude in the game, then who knows what the mentality of the men's basketball players would have been tortured into by these three referees.

Therefore, in order to ensure that the men's basketball team would not lose a good game due to off-court factors in the next two games, Su Feng did not show mercy to the referees after the game because they had lost their way in this game.

At this time, Duncan, who had been messed with by Santiago and Ramos in the previous game against Puerto Rico, also supported Su Feng and said: "I don't think I will play fiBA games anymore in the future.

Because as Su said, in fiBA games, we are always discriminated against by the referees."

In this life, Duncan, who cherishes each other with Su Feng, supported Su Feng at this time, on the one hand, because this Olympic Games has already made him feel disgusted with fiBA games.

And on the other hand, you can also see how annoying the style of the Puerto Rican team is.

However, what made the reporters feel strange was...

After this game, in addition to complaining about the referee's penalty, Su Feng did not accuse the Puerto Rican players of those bad moves on the court as people thought.

Because Su Feng knew very well...

In this kind of national war game...

Just like war.

In order to win the ball, your opponent can also spare no expense.

Friendship first, competition second?

Wake up!

This tm is the Olympic Games!
