When he came back in the second half, Marbury found his touch on the outside, and with the improvement in defense, the US team was closer to some points in the stalemate.

However, they fell too far in the first half and eventually lost to the Chinese team 87-95.

Marbury scored 18 points with 6 of 12 shots, Duncan scored 13 points with 5 of 11 shots, Iverson scored 11 points with 4 of 15 shots, and Anthony scored 8 points.

Sun Hao scored a game-high 24 points, Yao Ming scored 19 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 blocks, Li Nan scored 11 points, and Yi Jianlian scored 6 points and 10 rebounds.

Iverson, Marbury and Brown attended the post-match press conference.

"This is just the first game. My players are a little uncomfortable with the rules, and the subsequent games will get better."

Although he lost the game, Brown still affirmed the players' performance.

“We were a little lax as we started, we realized it during the half-time break and then we made a change.”

Marbury blamed the loss for underestimating the enemy.

“We are still confident in the defending champion.”

Iverson did not perform well tonight, but he was still very confident.

Judging from the reactions of the three people, although they encountered a "good start" as soon as they came, losing this game did not make them lose their fighting spirit and confidence.

This may also make the fate of this Dream Team Six different from that in history.

During the same period of history, Dream Six lost 19 points to Puerto Rico at the beginning.

After that game, Brown and his players suffered completely different psychological pressure.

You should know that 19 points is already the biggest difference between the US team in the Olympics.

So is this Chinese team worse than the Puerto Rico team in history?

Surely not.

The game is related to performance. In that game in history, after the US team made the first three-pointer from Odom, there was a three-pointer and 18 consecutive iron.

If you fail to make a three-pointer, you can only break through the inside. In the fiba game, the opponent will defend together, and no one's breakthrough will be effective.

In addition, Puerto Rico feels good, so it is normal to lose like that.

However, in this game, Marbury regained the outside feel in the second half, and the direction of the game was completely different.

And there is another point, because of the changes in history, Anthony has much more opportunities.

When future fans talk about Dream Team Six, James, Wade, Anthony and others are always sitting on the bench. This is the most criticized point.

That is also another important evidence of the "fans' theory of abandoning rookies".

But now, Anthony is on the court and is performing very efficiently.

It can even be foreseen that in this position, the Dream Six team, which has a high overlap in functions and lacks shooting, will have more opportunities in the future.

Therefore, the ending of this Dream Team Six may be different from that in history.

Of course, these are just Sun Hao’s personal thoughts.

In fact, after this game, the fans on the American Forum were already blown up.

"Once again? We lost to the Chinese team again? God, it's incredible!"

"Damn Larry Brown, he doesn't know how to coach the Dream Team!"

"It's really unimaginable that we have reached the point where even the Chinese team can't win. These players are not worthy of playing for the United States!"

"Meng Sixth Team is useless like Meng Five, so I'll be disbanded."

...

From these comments, we can see that most American fans are still living in dreams and do not realize the rise of world basketball.

It can also be seen that after losing the opening game, winning the championship has become the only thing this Dream Six team can comfort the fans.

Some people are happy and some are worried. After winning the US team again, domestic fans were having fun.

After Su Qun's article "Breaking the Dream Team's Unbeaten Olympic Myth" was published in the Sports Weekly, it attracted a carnival.

"I think Teacher Su's article will attract more attention when changing it to the goddess for the first time."

"You can come to work at Sports Weekly tomorrow, and you will be left with the editor's position as the editor's director!"

"You are the genuine dream team led by Iverson and Duncan! I think no team can beat us anymore!"

"You said Sun Hao and Yao Ming's partner have played like this. If you are with O'Neal this season, it will be fragrant!"

"Don't say it, I don't even think the Chinese team is doing their best..."

"You fell down before I could exert my strength?"

...

Domestic fans are caring, and the confidence of Chinese players in their internal team has also been greatly improved.

With such confidence, the Chinese team ushered in the group stage, the Spanish team.

With the emergence of Sun Hao, Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian and others, the Chinese team quickly became a world-class team.

Spain started with the system, worked hard and made great efforts. After so many years, it was time to achieve results.

Speaking of which, Spain set an embarrassing record in this Olympic Games in history.

Their record of all the games was 7 wins and 1 loss, but their final ranking was 7th.

This is a loophole in the Olympic rules, but it can also indirectly prove the strength of the Spanish team.

For Sun Hao, this game also seemed very special.

Gabayosa, Gasol, Raul Lopez, Navarro, Calderon...

Sun Hao plays with this team and it feels like he is returning to La Liga.

During the warm-up before the game, Sun Hao saw Gasol on the sidelines.

The moment he appeared, Gasol had already waved his chubby little hand hard.

As it turns out, even though Gasol brought his younger brother to his side, he still couldn't stop the foodie from continuing to gain weight.

There is really a long way to go for foodies to lose weight.

And the same thing as four years ago is that even though Gasol is now 19 years old, he still kept giving him a message after saying hello to Sun Hao.

"Let Paul taste your power."

After hearing this, Sun Hao couldn't help laughing. This brother and his younger brother lived in the United States for several years, and their relationship has not improved at all!

But it's right to think about it. Before Sasuke killed Itachi, his hatred for Itachi became stronger and stronger.

When the handshake gift was shaken before the game, Sun Hao sighed a lot.

Gabayosa, his golden partner at Real Madrid, immediately recalled the days when he ate a bullwhip with Prigioni and the other three.

Raul Lopez, his substitute at the time, will be his substitute for the Lakers next season.

Navarro was the core of Barcelona's main opponent in La Liga.

Calderon, there is no need to say more.

Grand Gasol, let alone this.

This is really a reunion of old friends, so there are a lot of people coming.

However, these feelings were all before the game, and after the game started, there was only the battle left.

The strength of this Spanish team is even stronger than the Dream Six team.

In history, the only game that the Spanish team lost in this Olympics was the United States, losing 12 points 92 to 104.

And the main reason for losing is Marbury.

That night, New York No. 3 made 6 of 9 shots from 9, and one man scored 31 points!

Don’t think that 31 points are missing, in fact, it has broken the American team’s individual single-game scoring record held by Dantley and Barkley!

And 6 three-pointers also broke the record of single-game three-point shooting in the Olympics held by Reggie Miller!

Marbury was not just Ray Allen that night, but Michael Jordan!

If you let the two teams play again, the outcome is really hard to say.

To put it bluntly, the Spanish team does not have enough tacit understanding in defense of Dream Six and its poor three-point ability, which can be clearly targeted.

After the two teams were tied up, they competed for personal abilities and teamwork.

Gasol is not at a disadvantage against Yao Ming in the inside, and Gabayosa can also follow Yi Jianlian, plus the golden combination of Navarro and Calderon on the outside.

After the first half, the score on the field was 47 to 46, and the Chinese team only led by a slight advantage of 1 point.

This performance surprised Sun Hao, because he remembered that the label of the Spanish team was slow to warm up.

The only explanation is that Spain's first match against Lithuania has already made them hot.

The two teams fought fiercely until the last quarter.

It was this section that Gasol was having fun.
