Chapter 344: Fame and fortune
ps: I originally wanted to go over the third day today, but my arms were bleeding in the middle of the night. I guess I couldn’t type when I woke up tomorrow morning. Now I quickly get up and modify two chapters and post them. Another chapter will be automatically released at noon.
I don’t know how long it will take for the pain this time. It usually takes about a week to reduce the swelling. I will go to the hospital tomorrow morning to get the eight-factor test, and the recovery time should be doubled. However, I can’t code these days, so I have to save some time to publish the manuscript. I hope everyone will forgive me!
Canada won all two games, and even though they were almost killed by Greece in the second game, they finally won. The situation was very good after two consecutive victories. Currently, due to one more game, Canada is temporarily ranked first in the group.
On August 13, Canada will play against Germany.
Nash emphasized before the game: "We need to be more nervous in the next game and can't always expect the final victory. If we can keep our whole game focused, we will be able to defeat any opponent, including Germany and Spain."
Ji Guochou said: "The German team is a very strong team. They have very excellent three-point shooting ability. We have to play a high-intensity game to limit their shooting feel." He stopped here and emphasized again: "After these two games, everyone has seen that we will not choose our opponents. All we have to do is to defeat them when we meet our opponents, and fight for the other one!"
In the game, Ji Guoqiu chose to sacrifice his best to defend Nowitzki on the defensive end, and wrapped around German tanks all over the field, making the latter very uncomfortable throughout the game.
There are three giants in Canada. When Triano meets the opponent with a strong inside line, he usually chooses to use Ji Guoqiu, who has excellent defense, to stick to his opponent. The Fox brother, who has better defense, will also double-team Nowitzki if he has the chance. Today, the Canadian team changed the positions of the two brothers. The brother played the fourth position and the younger brother played the center.
The German team did not expect this change in Canada, and they are like Canada, relying entirely on two NBA inside players to fight. Canada still has at least two MVPs in Nash that can make up for a large part of the defects in the outside line, but Germany has no point guard who can resist Nash.
Although they have the advantage in strength, the two brothers feel bad today, even if they successfully restricted their opponent's inside line, Canada still did not play an attack wave and lead the score.
When the game reached the last 55 minutes of the fourth quarter, the German team was 8 points behind. The Germans began to use the full-game press. The defender Basil made a three-pointer. Nowitzki beat Ji Guoqiu in the interior and successfully played 2+1. In a short period of time, the German team scored the score difference from 66:58 to 66:64.
Ji Guoqiu, who spent all his energy on defending Nowitzki, stepped forward at a critical moment. He successfully played the German tank alone in the interior and widened the score to 68:64. Although Nowitzki later narrowed the score difference with a three-pointer, the Fox brother's beautiful backward shot opened the score again.
The star players of the two teams scored consecutive goals at the last minute of the game. Canada finally took advantage of the many stars, and the efficiency of the tug-of-war period was higher. The German team was unable to make the situation come true after only one star.
The final score was 76:72, and Germany unfortunately lost to Canada with a 4-point disadvantage. The latter ushered in three consecutive victories and continued to firmly sit in the top spot in Group A.
Spain, which has won two consecutive games in less than one game, is temporarily ranked second, Greece team third and China team fourth. Germany has lost two consecutive games after losing to Canada, and the last team, Angola, also lost two consecutive games. It seems that the Germans are likely to be eliminated.
Ji Guochou scored 10 points, 10 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 blocks in this game, Ji Guomomiya scored 22 points, 8 rebounds, 1 assist and 3 blocks, Nash scored 16 points and 7 assists, and the three giants once again scored 48 points, accounting for two-thirds of the team's score.
The next day, media from various countries said that Canada, which relies only on the three giants, defeated Germany, which relied on Nowisky. Both teams have the same weakness, that is, they rely entirely on their own stars to win in the game. The difference is that Canada has three stars, while Germany only has one and a half, so the latter will naturally lose.
But Canada must be vigilant. They will face the Spanish team with many soldiers and wide players in the next game, and then the weaknesses in the second and third positions will be exposed.
This year, this Spanish men's basketball team can form a lineup related to the NBA: Lakers center Paul Gasol, Mark Gasol, who is about to sign with the Grizzlies, Navarro who has just returned to Spain from the Grizzlies, Gabayosa who has just returned to Spain from the Raptors, and Calderon, who has just renewed the Raptors with a five-year, $40 million contract.
Among them, the starting backcourt composed of Jose Calderon, Juan Navarro and Rudy Fernandez is no less powerful than the Greek backcourt. How can one Nash in Canada fight three opponents alone? And the Gasol brothers in Spain also perform well. Even if their younger brother Mark Gasol is a little bit tender, at least the Spanish inside combination can greatly offset the Canadian team's inside advantage. At that time, the Bullfighters rely on their overall strength advantages, and Canada's chance of winning will be greatly reduced.
Don't forget that there are many players who are not inferior to the main players on the Spanish bench.
Of course, there is also their Golden Boy Rubio. Everyone has never been able to find the background of this little genius. The Spanish coach only gives Rubio ten minutes to each game, but everyone can also see the occasionally flashing genius performances of Golden Boy in a limited time. Golden Boy's spiritual energy is indeed great. Every move on the court reveals infinite potential, and it does not seem to be a fictional reputation.
Ji Guomomoto curled his lips at this and thought to himself that if you ask him to vote for more, you will know what Jin Tong is. His background is - Lu Yizhong.
On June 14, in the Olympic men's basketball team, all the teams had completed three games. Only Canada and Spain won all the teams in Group A. The two teams won all the teams will be on the 15th. After the game, there will be only one team left to win all the teams in Group A. At that time, who can qualify as the first in the group will have an answer.
The day before the game, Ji Guomeng, who was about to face Gasol, told the media: "It's not difficult to deal with Gasol. My sister-in-law is indeed very strong. I have fought with him more than ten times. So I won't deal with him alone. My teammates will work with me to limit Gasol."
For this crucial group match, Gasol also said: "The Spanish team will further consolidate their favorable position in this cruel group through victory against Canada. Although Canada has always regarded defeating Spain as the only way to advance to the quarterfinals, the Spanish team is obviously also studying Canada."
The media's views before the game are more inclined to Spain's victory. Although both teams are currently winning three consecutive games, objectively speaking, Canada's strength in the second and third positions is still quite different from the last World Championships champion.
The Spanish team once won the World Championships in 2006 and the runner-up of the 2007 European Men's Basketball Championship. Most of the players in the team have experience in playing for the NBA. The team's strong strength can be seen by easily defeating the Greek team at 81:66 in the third game. You should know that Canada took a lot of effort to compete with Greece, and finally relied on a winning goal with a little luck, while Spain has the advantage of the whole game and did not give the Greek team a chance to take advantage of it. The difference between the two is revealed.
Ji Guomo was very disdainful of this. He said: "You can't explain anything at all. Anyone who knows football knows that there is a phenomenon of mutual restraint in any competitive event. We have to deal with Greece. It doesn't mean it is also to deal with Spain. Just like the Chinese team almost killed Spain? So we don't care about the world champion."
Spanish players seemed very angry after knowing Ji Guomeng's words. They thought Ji Guomeng's words were too rude.
But Gasol was not surprised. His sister-in-law was not angry at all. That dead fox was like this in the NBA. Before the game against the Lakers, he would always shout "Kobe is Chevrolet" and "No O'Neal Kobe won the championship" and other trash words that made Pan vomit blood.
Now that he is in the Olympics, Ji Guomo has not changed much. If you care about him, you will be fooled. Haven’t you seen that the three Celtic giants were just being chanted by him all day long, and they really lost the game because of this?
Currently in the Spanish team, Fernandez, Calderon, Navarro and Rubio have strong scoring abilities. Compared to the 2006 World Championships, Gabayosa and Rodriguez are not Spain's opening main players. They were both troubled by injuries last season, but Juan Navarro and Fernandez, who replaced them, are both excellent. The Spanish team sits on the bench with Gabayosa, Rodriguez and the talented young man Rubio, and the Bullfighters have an enviable second attack lineup.
Among the statistics of the Spanish team's victory over Greece, there may be one thing that the Canadian team is happy about, that is, they only had 10 assists in the whole game. From this, it can be seen that the Spanish team has not yet reached its best state in collective cooperation. This single-player style provides the Canadian team with an opportunity to take advantage of Nash's speed, Ji Guohun's offense, Ji Guoqiu's support and low-post offense. If it can be played out, Canada will be enough to compete with the European star team.
On June 15, in the Olympic men's basketball group stage, the most popular focus battle in Group A will be held at Wukesong Stadium in Beijing. Today, Vice President Xi Da came to watch the game again. The sports-loving Chinese senior leader revealed that he was a fan of the twin brothers and said that he had watched the live broadcast in the last game of the NBA finals and was proud of having such outstanding compatriots among the Chinese.
During this period, with the two brothers' outstanding performance in the Olympics, China Telecom and China Unicom have found their business teams. Since China Mobile has endorsed Yao Ming, these two competitors hope to find two brothers who are no less famous than Yao Ming to endorse. The current negotiation progress of endorsement fee has entered a critical stage.
Yao Ming and China Mobile have many Chinese characteristics in the contract. Although the outside world does not know the specific amount of the contract, it must have been divided up by various forces. However, the two brothers are different. Since they do not play in China, they naturally clearly mark the price. Now the market for the two endorsing large contracts is 3 million to 5 million US dollars a year, and the same amount is also applied to RMB, and the endorsement time is 2-4 years.
Telecom and China Unicom think this price is high, but the two brothers don't care. Now many mobile communication companies are coming to them. Mobile companies in Canada, the United States, and Mexico are the most active. If they don't sign Telecom and China Unicom, they can still sign other companies. Besides, Telecom and China Unicom, as well as Mobile are all monopoly companies, which can be described as "blackhearted" and "unscrupulous", so the two have no guilt for killing them. Are these two state-owned enterprises still so little money? I guess they want to get kickbacks and other things.
No matter what the two brothers are, even if Telecom Unicom gives them 10 million US dollars a year and then takes half of them, they don’t care about it. As long as they get the money they will not be less, it doesn’t matter how much these leaders are greedy for.
Ji Guomeng has been particularly jealous of giant pandas recently because Coca-Cola has found Ji Guoqiu these days and offered him a four-year, $15 million endorsement contract.
Originally, Pepsi also planned to find Ji Guohuo to endorse him, but the dead fox signed a three-year, $6 million contract with Red Bull, but now he is in tears! The penalty for his contract is 20 million US dollars, and Pepsi doesn't want to pay for him, so the little fox can only wait for the contract to expire before talking.
"I deserve it. Who told you to be greedy for money? I remember you showed off to me for a long time after signing the contract."
