He had heard that the US players will go for a break after every match. They are more interested in Japan than the US. Those izakaya are more fun than the bars in the US.
"I promise we will defeat Greece the day after tomorrow!"
Ever since the Hua Xia team entered the semifinals, the team's morale had improved. Now, their target had changed. They are no longer satisfied with the semi-finals. They want to enter the finals and win the championship!
If George Karl can become the head coach of the 2008 Olympic Games, he will be able to earn at least two more years. How can he not be tempted?
Feng Yu suspects Kirilenko had said something to Spain's core player, Gasol.
"I hope your Russian team can win tomorrow's match."
"I know. I had seen the results of the match." Although Feng Yu was happy to see the US team had lost, he was not as excited as Kirilenko.
"Hahaha … Feng, the US team had lost! Did you see that? The US team did not even enter the semi-finals! "Kirilenko could not hold back his laughter.
Feng Yu's phone rang again. It was Kirilenko again.
During the match between Hua Xia and Greece, Kirilenko had set a record for the viewership. No basketball match had ever had such high viewership.
"No matter who it is, Russia will surely win. I had promised those players generous bonuses, and they will surely give it their all. "
But during the match between Russia and Spain, Feng Yu noticed the Spanish players did not perform well, and Russia won by four points.
The Greek team seemed to have lost their touch in this match. They could not shoot from the perimeter and could not even score a layup.
Heitaro Nakajima even decided that he will not let Feng Yu get the chance to suck up to him in the future!
Feng Yu: "… …"
Hua Xia's team had strict rules. When the players are playing outside, they must apply for leave even if they want to go shopping, and someone must follow them. Many things are strictly controlled, and the players are not allowed to eat them.
Since they are considered the biggest dark horse, they might as well go all the way!
"Hahaha … that's right! I will hang up now. I will be in Japan tomorrow to cheer for the players! "
"Don't worry, everyone. We watched all of Greece's matches. They mainly attack from the perimeter, just like the U.S. team. But we're different. I'll focus on the inside and focus on three-pointers from the outside. This way, not only can we break their defense, but we can also get more open shots … "
Lin Yongfeng was about to cry. He had never expected that Hua Xia's team would actually win the championship. The company would have to pay a lot of money for this. He would definitely be the scapegoat.
Hua Xia gave George Carl a very low salary. However, Feng Yu gave George Karl another salary, which was very generous.
In the end, Hua Xia's team met with Russia in the finals. No one had expected this result.
It was also because of their indulgence the night before that the U.S. players were in poor condition, which was why they lost to Greece.
In that case, the semifinalists would be Hua Xia, Greece, Russia and Spain.
Both teams played a high level match, and Hua Xia's team won 77: 76. Wang Shipeng scored a three-pointer before the end of the match, making Hua Xia's first FIBA World Championship!
Kirilenko was the same as Feng Yu. He used money to get his players to win, and he was more generous than Feng Yu.
"You don't know this. Not only did I bet on the Chinese and Russian teams to enter the semifinals, but I also bet that the US team wouldn't enter the top three. I didn't expect them to not even enter the semifinals!"
"Hahaha … Of course. Also, our Russia will be the champion this time. Feng, I'm sorry. Even if you can defeat Greece, you can't win against Russia. Why don't you just tell your Hua Xia team to surrender? "
In front of their televisions or computers, the American basketball All-Stars who saw the Dream Team's defeat were shaken. Some of them wanted to go, but they weren't invited at all. Some of them were even gloating in their hearts, including Pierce and Carter.
No one expected this year's FIBA Basketball World Championship to end like this. Even Kirilenko said it was luck that Hua Xia won the championship. The next Olympic Games held in Hua Xia, Russia must avenge themselves!
When the Chinese team defeated Lithuania, Kirilenko had called to congratulate them. What was the reason for that?
The Hua Xia team won 77: 62. Yao Ming scored 30 points, taking whatever he wanted inside the Greek team's three-point line. He displayed the style of the best center in the World Championship.
George Karl got his players to practice their tactics and cheered them on at the same time. When George Karl saw Feng Yu, he asked his assistant coach to bring his players to practice.
"Brother Ki, I can't promise you this. Let's let our teams do what they can. No matter which country wins the championship, it will be better than the U.S. team, right? "
You want to fix the match in the World Championship?
"Let's discuss the scores and go to Spinach's company to make more money."
Kirilenko had only wanted to win against the U.S. team, and he was willing to pay any price. But he did not expect the U.S. team to be so weak and lose to Greece.
There were also some players who were called up, but they rejected because of injuries. They were actually resting or on vacation, like Shaquille O 'Neal. These star players will have to bear the anger of the fans.
Damn! How dare he? That means Brother Ki had made a lot of money in this match?
"Boss, don't worry. Greece can win against the U.S. team because they do not have a good center. We are different. Our center forwards all have the ability to play solo, and their ability is outstanding. Also, our team does not rely on breakthroughs. Their defensive strategies are useless against us. "
Maybe Kirilenko was not doing this to make money. He was just unhappy with the U.S. team. Kirilenko was more agitated than Feng Yu on this point.
None of them expected the U.S. team to be worse than the previous Olympic Games. They did not even make it to the semi-finals and lost to a small team like Greece.
The next day, Russia won against Germany, and Argentina lost to Spain.
Feng Yu nodded. "I don't want any accidents to happen. Hua Xia had given you a target of the quarter-finals, and you did well. But since you can do better, I hope Hua Xia's players can play their best and advance to the finals! This way, you will still be the head coach of the Olympic Games, and I will still give you double your salary. "
"Brother Ki, are you sure you can beat Argentina and Spain? Argentina had won the gold medal in the previous Olympic Games, and Spain has your ace player. "
… …
That night, Feng Yu arrived at Hua Xia's training center. No one was drinking or celebrating. Feng Yu was satisfied with their performance.
