"beep......"

After a while, the first quarter ended, Team USA led by 14 points.

It doesn't seem to be an exaggeration to lead by 14 points in a single quarter. But you should know that the opponent of the US team is France, who can make it into the top eight. Even if it is only fourth in the group, the strength of the French team cannot be underestimated, at least not as good as a team like the riben team. The US team led the French team by 14 points in the first quarter, which shows how terrible the strength is.

Entering the second quarter, the French team made some adjustments. They would rather have the first point of success than lower the rhythm, that is, they would have to fight a positional battle with the American team.

The advantage of this is that even if the French team does not make the lead and the American team can make it, it will take a lot of time and will not be hit by the opponent or shock wave.

What's more, the French team is not a bottom player. In the case of positional battles, they are not saying that they cannot score the ball.

In this way, although the score difference is still large, it is at least not as exaggerated as the first quarter and does not expand rapidly, which makes fans feel relieved. If it is always like the first quarter, it would be scary.

Just imagine, 14 points per quarter, how many will it take for four quarters?

When the second quarter was halfway through, the score difference was 17 points, and it widened a little, but it was only three points. This made Mr. Popovich a little dissatisfied and called for a timeout adjustment.

After the timeout came back, the US team started to rain three-pointers, and the outside three-pointers shot continuously, and the shooting rate was not low. Although the game was not fast, the score difference expanded rapidly.

This is the terrible thing about three-pointers. One ball is a three-pointer. Just a few three-pointers are needed, and the difference will immediately grow bigger.

However, the French team was also very tenacious and made quick adjustments to enhance the defense of three-pointers on the outside, but the score difference was more than 20 points at this time. When the second quarter ended, the US team led by 22 points.

"The gap in strength is still obvious, not at the same level." Yu Qian shook his head. Compared with the American team, the strength is much worse.

"Yeah." Chen Feng nodded, frowned and looked at the American men's basketball player, and sighed: "I think the American team has not even put in all their strength. If they put in all their strength, it would be even more terrifying."

Yu Qian raised his brows and his face changed slightly. He beat the French team more than 20 points in the first half before he could do his best. How terrible would it be if he made all his efforts?

Next to him, Gong Luming, Li Nan, Du Feng, Yao Ming and others also frowned.

Judging from the first half, the US team is really amazingly powerful. Judging from the lineup, it seems that it is not much different from the last World Cup in Basketball, but their cooperation, tactics and execution are obviously much better than the last World Cup in Basketball.

"It seems that Popovich is bound to win this Olympic champion. He should have put a lot of effort into these aspects." Gong Luming sighed in a low voice, his heart extremely solemn. If it were just the American team pieced together by the stars, it would not be terrible, but if these stars could still cooperate tacitly and have efficient tactical execution, it would be really terrible!

On the other hand, the Spanish men's basketball team was also solemn in their hearts and was shocked by the strength of the US team.

......

Soon, the second half began.

Entering the second half, the French team launched a counterattack, narrowing the gap to more than ten points, but soon the US team produced an offensive shock wave, and the gap once again widened to more than twenty.

Moreover, after this time, the French team was unable to launch a threatening counterattack again.

When the third quarter ended, the game had basically lost its suspense, and the United States led the French team by as much as 27 points.

Many people have begun to leave. Although they have long known that the French team is not a match for the United States, they will always have a little expectation in their hearts until that moment, but at this time, the overall situation has been decided.

"Let's go, there's only garbage time left for the game." The head coach of the Spanish men's basketball team stood up and said to his opponent: "There's no need to watch it, let's go."

"Yeah." Gasol nodded and followed the head coach.

When he walked out of the arena, Gasol suddenly turned around and sighed silently. He knew that the reason why the bishop let everyone go was not because the game was gone, but because the United States team was too strong and was afraid that continuing to watch would affect the players' confidence and fighting spirit.

Just imagine, who can not be afraid when facing such a terrible team in the United States?

"No matter what, defeat the Chinese men's basketball team first." Gasol whispered, turned around and left with his teammates.

In the arena.

Li Nan approached Gong Luming and whispered: "Old Gong, all the people from the Spanish team have left. There is nothing to watch about this game. Why don't we leave too?" In fact, Li Nan's worries are the same as those of the Spanish head coach, and they are afraid that they will affect the confidence and fighting spirit of Chinese men's basketball players, so he suggested this.

Gong Luming also knew this, but he did not agree. He shook his head and said, "Continue to watch, there is nothing to worry about. If you have to face it sooner or later, then escaping will not solve any problem. It is better to let everyone know the strength of their opponents now and be mentally prepared." As he said, Gong Luming glanced at the players under him and continued, "We have experienced many difficulties and encountered many powerful opponents in the past few years, but we have still made it through step by step. Now we are finally strong, and we cannot lose the spirit of moving forward and fighting to the death."

Li Nan was shocked and said seriously: "Old Gong is right. No matter how strong the opponent is, we have not experienced it. It is no big deal. Moreover, I believe our players will not be so scared."

"Yes." Gong Luming nodded and said no more.

In fact, the strength shown by the US team today has indeed had some impact on the Chinese men's basketball team.

If it were in the past, it might indeed affect them and hurt their confidence and fighting spirit. However, after several major competitions over the past few years, they have grown up step by step. This blow alone is not enough to defeat them. Instead, it has aroused their fighting spirit to a certain extent.

In this Olympics, almost all the opponents encountered by the Chinese men's basketball team in the group stage were swept, with no danger or too much difficulty, which made them feel no pressure and less motivation.

Now seeing the strength of the American men's basketball team, they feel pressure.

This is not a bad thing for the Chinese men's basketball team!

"beep......"

Finally, the whole game ended.

In the end, the US defeated France 126:99 and advanced to the semi-finals first.

"The game is over, and it's time for us to leave. Remember what we see today, this is the opponent we are about to face. But before that, we must defeat other enemies first." Gong Luming stood up and said in a deep voice.

"yes."

Everyone was dark and solemn and responded in unison.
