Ch: 242-250
Chapter 242 Female athletes are different. They almost made Chen Hao's legs weak in defense!
The outside world didn't know what Chen Hao and Dirk Nowitzki discussed.
But Chen Hao himself was very clear that Dirk Nowitzki wanted to win him over.
Although Chen Hao's contract was still a rookie contract, many teams had been coveting him for a long time.
This was because Chen Hao's ability to lead a team was simply too strong.
Last year, the Celtics, who were a bottom-feeder team, were directly led by Chen Hao, as a single core, to win the Championship.
Such a record could be said to be quite brilliant.
In addition, Chen Hao also possessed great commercial value.
If a team could acquire Chen Hao, it would definitely bring huge additional revenue to the team.
Therefore, in order to get Chen Hao, many team general managers had already begun to operate silently.
However, since the Olympic Games were still ongoing, these general managers could only wait until the Olympic Games ended before they could begin their operations.
However, for Dirk Nowitzki, this was not a problem.
Because he was currently an opponent of Chen Hao, it was natural for him to invite Chen Hao to dinner.
Moreover, before the game started, the Mavericks' owner, Cuban, had already contacted him.
On the phone, Cuban's tone was very excited:
"Hey, Dirk, do you know?
I've always dreamed of seeing you and Chen Hao play for me together.
This scene has appeared countless times in my dreams.
Now, the opportunity is right in front of you.
So, you must seize this opportunity for me.
Then, persuade Chen Hao well and let him join our Mavericks.
This would definitely be great news for our Mavericks!"
Dirk Nowitzki naturally couldn't refuse the team owner's request.
Moreover, he was also very clear that Chen Hao's strength was incredibly powerful.
If Chen Hao could really join the Mavericks, that would definitely be the best news for the Mavericks.
Currently, the Mavericks' roster was actually not bad at all; it could even be considered a powerhouse team in the Western Conference.
However, if they wanted to win the Championship, they had to defeat all the strong teams in the Western Conference.
This was still very difficult for the Mavericks.
But, if Chen Hao joined the Mavericks.
Then all these problems would be solved easily.
Because Chen Hao was the answer!
He could bring a Championship to any team; his strength was beyond doubt.
This was also why Dirk Nowitzki didn't dare to foul Chen Hao easily during the game.
Because he was worried that if he really fouled Chen Hao and angered him, his subsequent lobbying efforts would be difficult.
And this dinner actually yielded great results.
Especially for Dirk Nowitzki, he even understood Chen Hao's preferences.
Chen Hao even gave him a clear answer:
"After my contract expires next year, I will definitely seriously consider your team!"
This was equivalent to Chen Hao making a promise to Dirk Nowitzki.
So, Dirk Nowitzki was naturally overjoyed.
Since things had taken a good turn, the post-dinner arrangements had to be perfect.
This was why the synchronized swimming team entered the hotel with Chen Hao.
In fact, the German Team's synchronized swimming team had already been eliminated from their group.
They could already go home early.
However, Dirk Nowitzki held great authority within the German Team.
So, when he wanted to use the national team's synchronized swimming team, no one dared to refuse.
Besides, letting them entertain Chen Hao was not a shameful thing.
Currently, Chen Hao's fame was well-known throughout the Olympic Village.
He had successfully broken out of the sports circle.
Therefore, during this dinner, Chen Hao and these female team members chatted very enthusiastically.
Seeing Chen Hao act like a seasoned ladies' man, Dirk Nowitzki was also quite envious.
For him, he didn't envy Chen Hao for having so many beautiful women around him; he envied Chen Hao's many abilities.
It was as if there was nothing he couldn't accomplish, and this made Dirk Nowitzki particularly envious.
When Chen Hao took the German Team's synchronized swimming team into the hotel room, he smiled and said to them:
"Hey, you know, I like to accept all kinds of challenges.
Today, I also want to accept your challenge.
So, do you want to challenge me one by one, or directly gang up on me?
I can accept both!
And, I won't hold back either."
Chen Hao's words made all the synchronized swimmers present burst into laughter:
"Since you've said so, then we'll naturally all go at once.
We've heard about your strength.
So, we won't choose to fight you one-on-one.
Don't worry, we will definitely force out all your potential."
It should be known that Chen Hao was facing professional athletes this time.
Since they were professional athletes, they naturally possessed stamina and endurance that ordinary people did not have.
Therefore, the challenge Chen Hao faced this time was indeed much greater than before.
However, Chen Hao seemed very excited about such a challenge:
"What I like most is accepting challenges from professional athletes like this.
I can finally go all out and have a good time!
You all need to be fully prepared.
Otherwise, you will definitely be the ones to suffer!"
Regarding Chen Hao's reminder, they seemed very dismissive:
"It seems you really haven't sparred with professional athletes before.
That's why you're so confident.
But don't worry, you will definitely regret what you said later.
We are professional defensive players!"
One night passed very quickly for Chen Hao.
When the morning sun shone through the floor-to-ceiling window, Chen Hao finally completed the final battle.
He frowned, rubbed his lower back, and said with emotion:
"As expected of professional female athletes, their stamina is indeed quite strong!
However, they were ultimately no match for me."
Chen Hao looked at the female athletes lying haphazardly on the floor and bed, his expression relaxed.
Then, he comfortably took a shower and left the hotel.
As for the remaining matters, they would handle them themselves.
Although Chen Hao had worked hard all night yesterday, he didn't feel any fatigue.
This showed that his body was truly incredibly powerful.
The Dragon Country Team would play its last group stage match today, against the Angola Team from Africa.
The Angola Team's strength ranked last in the entire group, having yet to win a single game.
However, their opponent today was the Dragon Country Team.
Therefore, their chances of winning were zero.
This was not a disregard for Angola's strength, but a statement of fact.
It should be known that even a strong team like the USA Team could only be pressed to the ground and rubbed by the Dragon Country Team, let alone the Angola Team.
Therefore, it was understandable that no one favored the Angola Team.
However, for the Angola Team, they did not have such a mentality.
They stated in a pre-match interview:
"Don't worry, we will make this game full of suspense.
We will not give up easily!
In this game, we will strive for victory with all our might!
The Dragon Country Team is strong, but we are not weak either!
We will prove ourselves!"
Although the Angola Team's confidence was very admirable, very few people actually believed they could win.
In such an atmosphere, the game began!
Chapter 243: Angola is savagely defeated! Coach Zhang's compassion explodes? Shut up!
The Angola Team was so confident because they believed their physical condition was explosive.
Because they came from Africa, their physical talents were outstanding.
However, they overlooked the crudeness of their technique.
Especially when facing the current Dragon Country Team, they had no chance of winning.
Although Chen Hao stayed up all night yesterday and was quite exhausted,
He would never let the previous night's activities affect the day's game.
In fact, whenever Chen Hao had activities the night before, he would perform exceptionally well in the game that day.
And now, Chen Hao also knew that the Angola Team was very confident.
To dare to speak so presumptuously in front of the media, they really weren't taking him seriously enough.
In that case, let them know what true power suppression feels like!
At the same time, Director Zhang, the commentator on site, also began to say sarcastically:
"According to media reports, Chen Hao seemed to have been very active last night.
So, in today's game, I feel he might be in poor form.
This is not good news for the Dragon Country Team!"
Director Zhang's sarcastic remarks made Yu Jia, who was beside him, very displeased:
"We have no right to interfere with a player's personal life.
But from what I know of Chen Hao, he never drops the ball at critical moments.
Moreover, today's opponent is the weakest team in the group stage.
We have even less reason to lose.
Don't worry, Director Zhang, Chen Hao will surely disappoint you again this time!"
Yu Jia was already quite dissatisfied with Director Zhang, so he spoke these words directly.
Hearing Yu Jia's words, Director Zhang's face became very unpleasant:
"Although I am a Dragon Countryman, as a commentator, one must be realistic.
I don't believe the Dragon Country Team is truly invincible just because they have Chen Hao.
If the Dragon Country Team relies too much on Chen Hao, it's not a good thing.
You should know that the upcoming games are the most important.
In the knockout stage, all teams will give their hundred percent.
That's when a team's true strength will be tested!
If the Dragon Country Team truly relies too much on Chen Hao, they will definitely suffer!"
Director Zhang's words seemed to be a reminder to other players of the Dragon Country Team, but in reality, he was sowing discord.
At this time, the Dragon Country Team had only one core, and that was Chen Hao.
Even Yao Ming had no doubts about Chen Hao's position as the team's leader.
As long as Chen Hao appeared on the court, all players of the Dragon Country Team had to obey his instructions.
It wasn't that they relied too much on Chen Hao, but that Chen Hao truly possessed that ability.
Since he possessed such ability, why couldn't they rely on him?
As long as Chen Hao could guarantee victory for the team, wasn't that enough?
Therefore, for the players of the Dragon Country Team, over-reliance on Chen Hao was itself a tactical characteristic.
There was absolutely nothing that needed to be improved!
If they really listened to Director Zhang's advice and tried not to rely on Chen Hao, how would they play?
You should know that the current Dragon Country Team was completely centered around Chen Hao.
Even Coach Yunas's tactical arrangements were not taken seriously by them.
Because Chen Hao would make adjustments on the court at any time, they only needed to listen to Chen Hao.
This was an experience summarized from the previous four group stage matches, and there were no problems.
As the game began, Chen Hao quickly got into the zone.
All players of the Angola Team had explosive physical conditions; this was their characteristic.
However, what they didn't know was that Chen Hao's physical condition was even more explosive than theirs.
When they tried to shake off Chen Hao with speed, Chen Hao easily kept up with them.
Then, at the moment they shot, he delivered an explosive block.
Subsequently, he picked up the ball and quickly initiated a fast break!
The players of the Angola Team only realized at this moment that they really couldn't keep up with Chen Hao's speed!
When Chen Hao went all out, the Angola Team players could only eat his dust!
After Chen Hao completed a fast break dunk for points, he turned his head with a look of disappointment towards the Angola player who was guarding him and said:
"Is this what you call confidence?
To be honest, it's really disappointing!
I haven't even tried hard, and you've already been completely left behind by me!
It's truly too disappointing!
Can you please make it a little more interesting for me?
You're so weak, I really have no fighting spirit at all!"
Chen Hao's words made the players of the Dragon Country Team burst into laughter.
However, Chen Hao was speaking the truth.
If the opponent was too weak, he truly couldn't muster any interest.
At this moment, the players of the Angola Team were also provoked by Chen Hao's words:
"You will soon see our true strength!"
And so, on the offensive end, the Angola Team began to exert force!
After holding the ball at the top of the arc, they directly adopted the most aggressive method, driving hard to the basket!
The idea behind doing this was simple: to try and draw a foul from Yao Ming.
Little did they know, before it was Yao Ming's turn to defend, Chen Hao was already behind them!
Subsequently, he directly neutralized their attempts to attack the rim!
Many times, Chen Hao directly pinned the basketball against the backboard!
Then he grabbed the ball and powerfully threw it to the frontcourt!
The Dragon Country Team players easily completed fast break scores.
With several consecutive defensive plays leading to offense, the Dragon Country Team had completely widened the score difference!
And at this moment, the players of the Angola Team were completely stunned by Chen Hao alone!
They never dreamed that Chen Hao's strength far exceeded theirs.
When facing Chen Hao, they truly felt an unprecedented sense of powerlessness.
Now, they finally realized that they shouldn't have provoked Chen Hao in the first place.
It was just that their regret was already too late!
Chen Hao had no intention of stopping!
He scored a massive 46 points in the first half and also had 14 assists!
As for the entire Angola Team, they only scored 30 points in the first half!
At halftime, the score difference between the two sides was truly too great!
It was like a college student playing against a kindergarten student; there was no comparison at all!
78 : 30!
This was the report card the Dragon Country Team handed in for the first half!
At this moment, Yu Jia looked at Director Zhang beside him with an excited expression and said:
"Director Zhang, look, I wasn't wrong, was I?"
Director Zhang's face had become incredibly gloomy:
"Actually, I think we really don't need to continue like this!
The game has already lost its suspense!
There's really no need to continue humiliating the opponent!
This harms the image of our great Eastern nation!
Chen Hao is really going too far!
The opponent's strength is far inferior to ours; for him to do this is really taking advantage of his position!"
Director Zhang's words made Yu Jia completely unable to hold back:
"Director Zhang, can you do me a favor?"
"What favor?"
"Shut your stinking mouth!"
Chapter 244: Against the Kangaroos! Bogu Dog Come Out and Die!
Director Zhang, whose compassion was overflowing, instantly fell silent after Yu Jia angrily rebuked him.
He shot Yu Jia a steely glance, not daring to utter a sound.
He wasn't someone cut off from information; he knew about the netizens' criticisms of him.
In fact, the leaders of the main broadcasting station had already spoken with him.
The leaders hoped that he wouldn't inject too much personal emotion into his commentary.
Especially his prejudice against Chen Hao, he should try not to voice it.
After all, Chen Hao was currently the biggest celebrity in the entire Dragon Country.
Everyone in the Dragon Country knew that Chen Hao was a basketball hero.
He led the team to victory against the USA Team and the Spanish Team, the first and second seeds after the group stage.
Such an achievement was already quite outstanding.
If Director Zhang were to truly slander Chen Hao again, they would directly revoke Director Zhang's commentary qualifications.
Although he had been a commentator for a long time, such a thing could not happen again.
Yu Jia's anger at this moment made Director Zhang instantly realize he had lost his composure.
So, he remained silent.
At the same time, Chen Hao finally clocked out after the third quarter ended.
For the Angola Team, this game would be unforgettable for their entire lives.
Because it was the ugliest game they had ever played!
It could even be said to be their most humiliating battle!
Because from the very beginning of the game, they completely lost all hope of winning.
Especially the strength Chen Hao displayed during the game, which filled them with immense despair!
Such a player must be from outer space, right?
How could such a player appear on Earth?
Therefore, the players of the Angola Team eagerly awaited the end of the game.
However, the more they wished for the game to end sooner, the more agonizing it became.
And Chen Hao showed them no mercy, constantly bombarding their hoop.
Until the end of the third quarter, Chen Hao finally stopped!
As for the score, the Angola Team players didn't even want to look.
The camera was currently focused on Chen Hao, who sat courtside, looking very calm.
And Yu Jia smiled and teased:
"Now, we can boldly say one thing.
We can really start thinking about our next opponent!
And our next opponent, if all goes as expected, will be Australia!
Australia is not unfamiliar to us.
They also have an NBA big man player in their lineup.
This big man player is named Bogut, and his strength is also very formidable!
Therefore, this knockout match is crucial for the Dragon Country Team!"
Yu Jia's words made the Fans at the scene cheer loudly.
They all knew the strength of the Australia team, because they had played against the Dragon Country Team before.
Both sides had their wins and losses.
However, many times Australia did not play with their full main lineup.
Now, their roster has also been strengthened.
Therefore, it would not be an easy task for the Dragon Country Team to defeat them.
Furthermore, in the group stage, many teams choose to conserve their strength.
They only play with full effort in the knockout stage!
This is also one of the suspenseful elements.
However, for the Fans of the Dragon Country, they all have immense confidence in Chen Hao.
Because under Chen Hao's leadership, they can easily defeat the USA Team.
This is already enough to prove that the Dragon Country Team has the strength to defeat teams from all over the world!
On Chen Hao's side, he was also thinking about the next game.
Not because the next opponent is strong, but because the opponent's strength is weak.
Currently, Australia's strength was no longer enough to catch Chen Hao's eye.
However, the player Bogut Dog, Chen Hao had to deal with him.
Because this guy would later make derogatory remarks about Dragon Country people.
Therefore, this guy had to be severely punished.
Chen Hao was thinking about how to deal with Bogut.
To make him understand what true despair feels like!
Finally, the game between the Dragon Country Team and the Angola Team ended.
150:80!
The Dragon Country Team crushed their opponent by a massive 70 points!
This could be considered an unprecedented massacre!
Even the Dragon Country's commentator, Yu Jia, remarked with emotion at this moment:
"I never thought that the Dragon Country Team would also have a day when they massacred an opponent!
However, in my opinion, this game was truly spectacular!
We weren't really trying to crush the other side.
It was just because the other side didn't take us seriously enough!
I hope that in the next game, our team will still have this kind of self-confidence!"
After the game, when asked in an interview if he was confident about defeating Australia, Chen Haosmiled and teased:
"I know their country has a lot of kangaroos.
And these kangaroos are very good boxers.
So, if they send kangaroos to play,
Then we really might not be able to win.
Fortunately, they are sending people.
So, you understand what I mean!"
Chen Hao's words made the Dragon Country reporters burst into laughter.
That was really quite harsh.
Chen Hao was clearly not taking the Australia team seriously at all.
And his remarks were quickly learned by the Australia players.
As the star player, Bogut immediately became furious:
"What is Chen Hao?
How dare he speak so arrogantly about our national treasure?
When I meet him on the court, I'll tear him apart!
I'll make him regret what he said!"
Bogut was truly furious about Chen Hao's words.
They had always been the ones to dominate the Dragon Country Team; when would the Dragon Country Team ever proactively provoke them?
This showed that they were really getting ahead of themselves!
Even if the Dragon Country Team had defeated the USA Team before.
But for Bogut, they could also defeat the USA Team.
Besides, now that the knockout stage was beginning, they would go all out.
Bogut had already planned to execute several powerful dunks over Yao Ming's head.
This way, he could easily crush the Dragon Country Team's confidence!
Time flew by, and the next day was the knockout stage.
The Dragon Country Team's opponent was the Australia Team.
Therefore, this game attracted many Fans to watch.
Even many teams that had entered the knockout stage appeared on site.
Strong teams like the USA Team and the Spanish Team were present.
Of course, there were also Lithuania and the Argentina Team.
These teams were all there for the Dragon Country Team.
They also wanted to see if the Dragon Country Team would be equally formidable in the knockout stage.
At the start of the game, the USA Team also made bets internally about the match.
Some believed the Dragon Country Team would easily win the game.
While others thought Australia would give the Dragon Country Team trouble.
Thus, this wager was born.
In addition, James specifically bet:
"Chen Hao will definitely dunk over Bogut's head!"
But Kobe didn't think so:
"If he can really dunk over Bogut's head,
I'll pay for your WiFi for the next ten years!"
Chapter 245: Dunk over Bogu at the start! This isn't the end, it's just the beginning!
All the USA Team players knew James was cheap and even liked to leech off Wi-Fi.
When James heard this, he immediately said excitedly, "Are you telling the truth?"
"Of course it's true, everyone heard it! I don't lie," Kobe said calmly.
"Very good, then I'll make a bet with you! This Chen Hao guy will definitely complete a dunk over Andrew Bogut's head.
And it won't be just once.
Do you know why I'm so sure?"
"Why?" Kobe also asked, looking puzzled.
"Because Andrew has always disliked Dragon Country people.
In fact, many times, he has slandered Dragon Country people privately.
So, Chen Hao definitely doesn't like him.
I'm sure you know what happens to players Chen Hao doesn't like, right?"
James's words instantly made Kobe's expression turn ugly: "Where did you hear this news?"
Clearly, Kobe was already starting to regret betting with James.
He felt like James was setting him up.
But James just smiled and spread his hands, saying, "I only heard about it.
If Chen Hao hasn't heard about this, then he won't have any prejudice against Andrew.
So, you still have a chance to win."
However, Kobe no longer believed James's words.
Because he was absolutely certain that James's words must have a basis.
Bogut must have made his relevant remarks in some public occasions.
Otherwise, how could James have known his thoughts?
Kobe was already regretting it; he was clearly tricked by James.
However, if he backed out now, he would truly become a clown who didn't keep his word.
So, Kobe could only swallow this bitter pill.
But, just as James said, Chen Hao might not have heard Bogut's remarks.
So, he might not necessarily lose.
Let's shift our attention back to the game!
Both teams' starters had already appeared on the court.
At this moment, Chen Hao's gaze was fixed on Bogut.
From the Bogut Dog's eyes, it was clear that he held great disdain for the Dragon Country Team.
His eyes were full of contempt, which made Chen Hao dislike the Bogut Dog even more.
Jump ball!
Yao Ming VS Bogut Dog!
Due to his height advantage, Yao Ming was the first to tip the ball to Chen Hao.
Chen Hao took the ball and quickly dribbled it to the frontcourt!
As Chen Hao dribbled to the frontcourt, the Australia Team quickly set up their defensive positions.
They all knew Chen Hao's attacking prowess was strong, so they almost focused all their defensive attention on the paint.
They wouldn't easily allow Chen Hao to break into the paint, as this would affect their team's morale.
At this moment, Chen Hao waved for all his teammates to clear out.
Yu Jia, the commentator on site, was also very surprised to see Chen Hao's action and said, "Chen Haorarely has his teammates clear out for the first offensive possession of the game.
This indicates that his desire to attack in this game is very strong.
Now, we can really look forward to it."
At the same time, the Bogut Dog, guarding the paint, saw Chen Hao's stance, and a cruel smile appeared on his face.
He certainly knew Chen Hao's strength and had heard of his reputation.
But in the Bogut Dog's eyes, Chen Hao had always been just a player hyped up by the league.
His strength simply couldn't withstand scrutiny.
Now that it was the Olympic Games knockout stage, it was naturally time to teach him a good lesson.
Especially since he liked to drive to the paint so much, he definitely needed to experience the AustraliaTeam's fierce defensive style.
So, the Bogut Dog signaled his teammates to collapse the defense.
If Chen Hao chose to shoot from the perimeter, they could accept that.
However, if he wanted to drive to the paint to attack the rim, then sorry, that was absolutely not allowed.
They would let Chen Hao know what it felt like to be fouled aggressively!
And at this moment, Chen Hao, seeing the Australia Team collapse their defense, also showed an amused expression.
The other players on the Dragon Country Team were all ready to receive the ball.
Because if Chen Hao really chose to drive all the way, it would truly be one against five.
This was clearly contrary to Chen Hao's usual playing style.
In this situation, he would very likely choose to pass the ball back out.
So, being ready to receive the ball was not wrong.
At this moment, Chen Hao had already started to dribble slowly!
The defenders in front of him stared intently at the basketball in Chen Hao's hands.
From time to time, they would also reach out to disrupt Chen Hao's dribble, attempting to poke the basketball away from his hands.
However, the basketball in Chen Hao's hands was like a part of his body.
The opponents couldn't even touch the basketball in Chen Hao's hands.
In this situation, Chen Hao suddenly made a large shoulder fake and change of direction.
He directly shook the Australia defender in front of him aside!
The scene immediately erupted in cheers!
Chen Hao accelerated to near the free-throw line!
The other two Australia defenders quickly double-teamed him!
Chen Hao executed a front spin after a crossover dribble, easily shaking off their double-team defense!
Appearing in the three-second area, Chen Hao had already bypassed three defenders in a row!
At this point, only two big men remained in front of Chen Hao!
One of them was the Bogut Dog!
And the Bogut Dog was also shocked when he saw Chen Hao's series of smooth moves.
He realized that he had severely underestimated Chen Hao's dribbling ability.
In this situation, he had to be fully prepared.
At this moment, Chen Hao had already jumped towards him!
Seeing Chen Hao's move, the Bogut Dog also hardened his heart!
He would absolutely not allow Chen Hao to complete a shot in front of him!
If he allowed him to score, it would be a huge blow to the team's morale!
So, he would forcefully pull Chen Hao down from the air!
As for whether Chen Hao would be injured as a result, that was not his concern.
However, just as the Bogut Dog was about to foul Chen Hao, he realized in horror that his reaction was too slow!
Chen Hao's jumping speed was simply too fast!
In just a breath, he had already appeared above the Bogut Dog's head!
Then, with his right hand, he raised the ball high and forcefully slammed it towards the hoop!
Chen Hao's move equally shocked all the spectators present!
The USA Team players watching from the sidelines were stunned by Chen Hao's offensive choice!
"This guy, such quick jumping speed!"
"What a dominant offensive style!"
"He really has a chance to dunk over Andrew's head!"
"Don't worry, Andrew will definitely foul him!"
At this moment, Kobe's gaze was fixed on Chen Hao; he didn't believe Chen Hao could really dunk so easily over the Bogut Dog's head!
But the next moment, he was terrified!
Because Chen Hao had already flown over the Bogut Dog, riding on his head to complete the dunk!
As for the Bogut Dog, he was still holding his hands high, having no time to make the next move!
After the basketball was dunked into the hoop, it quickly fell to the ground!
Bouncing up and down repeatedly!
The Dragon Country Fans on site had already excitedly risen from their seats, cheering loudly!
And James, at this moment, also looked excited: "Thanks to big brother Kobe for the ten years of free Wi-Fi!"
Chapter 246: Aerial Block of Bogu Dog! This battle must make him lose his reputation!
Kobe's expression was incredibly downcast at this moment; he hadn't expected Chen Hao to dunk over him right at the start of the game.
This showed that Chen Hao truly held a significant grudge against Bogut.
Otherwise, how could Chen Hao have signaled his teammates to clear out on the very first offensive possession?
Then, with all opponents collapsing their defense, he directly challenged their entire team one-on-one.
He was determined to dunk over Bogut!
The big screen on site continuously replayed the moment Chen Hao dunked over Bogut.
At this point, Chen Hao had already landed from the hoop.
Bogut was incredibly frustrated; he never dreamed that Chen Hao would easily fly over his head to complete a dunk.
One must know that Bogut's height reached 2.16 meters.
In such a situation, to complete a dunk over his head would require extremely explosive physical prowess.
But Chen Hao did it with such ease!
His feet didn't even touch Bogut's head, which showed that Chen Hao's vertical leap was truly very high.
Just as Bogut was feeling incredibly stifled, Chen Hao turned to him and, with a serious expression, said:
"Don't ever think this is the last time I'll dunk over you.
I can tell you with certainty, this is the first time I've dunked over you!
You better be prepared to be dunked on relentlessly by me throughout the entire game!
However, you do have one way to escape.
That is to choose to leave the game early; that way, you won't be humiliated by me!"
Chen Hao's words infuriated Bogut:
"Damn it!
I just wasn't serious.
You won't be able to dunk over me again!
You'd best give up that idea!"
At this moment, Bogut already hated Chen Hao to the bone.
He knew that the scene of him being dunked on would undoubtedly appear countless times in various media.
This would greatly damage his reputation.
Therefore, he had to reclaim his dignity.
Otherwise, his value might be greatly diminished when the new season arrived.
After all, the eyes of basketball Fans worldwide were focused on the capital of Dragon Country.
He had probably become the most prominent backdrop.
Thinking of this, Bogut felt extremely aggrieved, and he couldn't wait to get even with Chen Hao.
It was Australia's turn to attack!
Bogut quickly established position under the basket and extended his hand, signaling for the ball.
In this situation, the basketball was promptly passed to him.
With the basketball in his hands, Bogut had Yao Ming as his defender behind him.
Yao Ming had no problem defending Bogut one-on-one, but this time Bogut was determined to attack the Dragon Country Team's paint.
So, the moment he received the ball, he gathered all his strength, dribbled, turned, and directly charged into Yao Ming.
Yao Ming, caught off guard, was elbowed in the chest by Bogut's left elbow, cried out, and fell directly to the ground!
However, the referee deemed Yao Ming's fall a flop and did not blow the whistle!
With that, Bogut successfully penetrated the paint!
In this situation, Bogut naturally wanted to deliver a powerful dunk to release his pent-up frustration.
But, just as he jumped into the air, preparing to complete a two-handed dunk, Chen Hao appeared above him, seemingly out of nowhere!
Then, Chen Hao directly grabbed the basketball from Bogut's hands with both hands, forcefully snatching it away!
Bogut never dreamed that even as he was about to complete a dunk, someone could appear above his head!
After Chen Hao fiercely snatched the basketball from him in mid-air, Bogut lost his balance.
Then, he fell heavily to the ground!
A dull thud sounded, and Bogut took quite a hard fall this time!
However, Chen Hao's block this time was also very clean, with no suspicion of a foul.
So, Chen Hao powerfully passed the ball to his teammate, who easily completed a fast-break layup for points!
Chen Hao's one offense and one defense at the start directly pushed the atmosphere of the venue to its climax!
As for the victim, there was only one, and that was Bogut.
However, Yao Ming, who was elbowed in the chest, was also very uncomfortable.
To ensure Yao Ming's health, Head Coach Yunas quickly substituted him out of the game.
And on the big screen, it also showed that when Chen Hao had just air-grabbed Bogut's shot, he landed and directly stepped over him!
Chen Hao made Bogut feel the humiliation of being stepped over!
Now, the Fans on site became even more excited:
"Dominant!
He is truly too dominant!"
"I really didn't expect Brother Hao to have such a dominant side!"
"It seems Brother Hao has quite a grudge against Bogut!"
"Although I don't know why, it just feels so good!"
"This Bogut is not a good person; he has always had a great prejudice against our Dragon Country people!"
"Brother Hao is avenging us!"
At this moment, Chen Hao looked at Bogut, who was still on the ground and hadn't gotten up, and said with a smile, teasing him:
"What's wrong?
Giving up so soon?
Have you already started seriously considering the suggestion I just gave you?
You really could choose to withdraw from the game due to injury right now.
At least, you could retain a little bit of your dignity.
It's just one dunk and one air-grab block, right?
After a while, the Fans will forget.
As for you, you can still get a decent contract in the NBA."
Bogut was already frustrated enough.
Now, with Chen Hao relentlessly taunting him, his mood became even more sour.
He truly hadn't anticipated that Chen Hao's block would be so timely.
He had clearly already knocked down Yao Ming, yet he was still aided-blocked by Chen Hao at that moment.
This was indeed his oversight; he couldn't make similar mistakes again!
"The game has just begun; don't be so arrogant!"
With the help of his teammates, Bogut had struggled to his feet.
And at this moment, Chen Hao was very pleased with Bogut's stubbornness:
"Very good, at least you are a tough guy and won't run away because of this!
However, you better be mentally prepared!
You might completely lose your value because of this game!"
Chen Hao's intention from the start was to use provocation to keep Bogut on the court.
That way, Chen Hao could thoroughly humiliate him.
The USA Team players, after seeing Chen Hao's brutal air-grab block, looked at each other in shock.
Because they knew that Chen Hao truly held a deep hatred for Bogut.
In this situation, Bogut was really in for a tough time.
"If it were me, I would choose to avoid Chen Hao."
James said in a low voice at this moment.
If Chen Hao had heard his words, he would definitely have given him a thumbs up:
"As expected of James the Runner; he truly earned that nickname!"
Chapter 247: Bogugou made some tricks and Chen Hao stepped on his foot and broke it!
It was Australia's offense again!
Bogut once again positioned himself in the paint.
Since Yao Ming had already been substituted, A'lian was now defending him.
In this matchup, A'lian would be at a considerable disadvantage.
Bogut was also full of confidence in A'lian's defense.
He had to score over A'lian.
He directly faced A'lian with the ball, and after a series of fakes, he suddenly made a pump fake.
A'lian was faked into the air!
Bogut took this opportunity to dribble and drive to the basket.
Chen Hao, who was near the free-throw line, had been keeping an eye on Bogut's movements.
When he saw A'lian get faked by Bogut, he quietly moved towards the paint.
At this moment, Bogut was eager to score and didn't care if there was anyone else to help defend.
So, just as he was about to dunk the ball, Chen Hao appeared above him again.
He directly pressed the ball against the backboard with both hands!
Chen Hao once again blocked Bogut!
It was another brutal block!
Under these circumstances, Bogut's mood became incredibly dejected.
When he noticed Chen Hao landing, he angrily shoved Chen Hao!
Actually, his original intention was to prevent Chen Hao from completing the fast break pass.
At the same time, his actions were not small.
However, Chen Hao seemed to have anticipated his behavior.
He lightly dodged, avoiding the shove.
This caused Bogut to lose his balance and fall directly to the ground.
Chen Hao, on the other hand, powerfully passed the ball to the frontcourt, assisting Liu Wei in completing another layup.
It was another successful defense!
And at this moment, Bogut once again became a joke.
Chen Hao looked at Bogut, who was sprawled on the ground, and chuckled, teasing him:
"What? Are you trying to fake a foul now?
But your method is really a bit underhanded!
Also, do you feel like a clown right now?"
After speaking, Chen Hao burst into laughter.
The Dragon Country Team players also laughed.
In fact, it was their first time seeing Bogut in such a sorry state.
And with so many people watching, his pathetic performance was indeed quite embarrassing.
The USA Team players watching from the sidelines had serious expressions.
They now truly realized that offending this guy Chen Hao was not a simple matter.
He had completely set his sights on Bogut.
And at this moment, Bogut's face had turned incredibly ashen.
He really wanted to tear Chen Hao's mouth apart right then and there.
But just as he got up, ready to lash out at Chen Hao, his teammates timely stopped him.
Because his teammates knew very well that if Bogut was ejected, there would be no need to continue this game.
Bogut, restrained by his teammates, felt incredibly frustrated.
But in the end, he could only choose to give up, glaring fiercely at Chen Hao and saying:
"You remember everything you've done today.
You won't be arrogant for too long!"
Hearing Bogut's words, Chen Hao smiled:
"Actually, I really want to know what kind of tricks you have up your sleeve.
Actually, you could totally make a move on me right now.
I'm quite curious, are the people of the Kangaroo Country also good at boxing?"
Chen Hao's provocation made Bogut even more furious:
"Damn it, you're insulting our country's national treasure!
I protest!"
Hearing Bogut's words, Chen Hao laughed even louder.
"Who are you protesting to?
To the referee?
Too bad, the referee can't hear you!
Besides, didn't you also make unfriendly remarks about us before?
So, why can't I mock you?"
At this moment, Bogut was almost angered to the point of spitting blood by Chen Hao.
He stared intensely at Chen Hao, wishing he could just pin Chen Hao to the ground and rub him.
Chen Hao, on the other hand, had a very arrogant smile:
"How about this, I'll stand here and let you hit me.
Let's see if you can knock me to the ground?"
Chen Hao's words almost made Bogut explode.
Just then, the referee arrived in time and pulled them apart.
In fact, Chen Hao really hoped Bogut would make a move on him.
But the problem was, Bogut no longer had the chance.
With their verbal altercation, both sides entered a timeout.
Australia's Head Coach instructed Bogut:
"Hey, I know you're feeling incredibly frustrated right now.
But this is their tactic.
You can't fall for it.
So, you can only use their own methods against them.
You can also use provocation.
Make him make a move on you.
That way, you'll have a chance to get him out of the game."
After being reminded by the Head Coach, Bogut's eyes instantly sharpened:
"Okay, I know what to do!"
When it came to playing dirty, Bogut was one of them.
So, he already knew what to do.
During the game, using some small tricks appropriately can effectively provoke players.
That way, when the opponent lashes out, he can play the victim.
He often used this tactic in the NBA.
Now, it was time to use it on Chen Hao.
Timeout ended, game resumed!
The score on the court had already become 6:0.
Australia had not yet scored.
So, it was still Australia's offense.
At this time, Bogut no longer actively called for the ball.
He set a screen for his teammate at the top of the arc, and he specifically came in front of Chen Hao.
He wanted to screen the player Chen Hao was defending, so he would have an opportunity to make a small move on Chen Hao.
And at this moment, when Chen Hao saw Bogut appear in front of him, he subconsciously wanted to fight for position.
But just as he was fighting for position, Bogut had already set the screen.
He directly blocked Chen Hao, with both elbows raised, directly blocking Chen Hao behind him.
This created a lot of movement space for his teammate.
The latter even quickly dribbled past Chen Hao!
He shot directly near the free-throw line!
As for Bogut, who had completed the screen, he even used his elbow to directly shove Chen Hao away.
The referee's attention was not on the two of them, so no whistle blew.
Just as Bogut thought his little move had succeeded, he felt a sharp pain in his foot!
He involuntarily let out a cry of pain!
It turned out that Chen Hao's right foot had somehow stepped on his right foot!
Moreover, Chen Hao's right foot pressed down with great force!
Bogut even felt like his right foot was about to be crushed!
Under these circumstances, he could only cry out in pain.
At the same time, the referee finally noticed their direction.
And Chen Hao's right foot had already left Bogut's foot.
Chen Hao even maintained a puzzled expression as he looked at Bogut.
This time, Bogut had certainly come up with nothing but trouble for himself!
"Damn it, referee, he stepped on my foot!"
However, the referee did not respond to this, but instead signaled him not to disrupt the rhythm of the game.
At this point, even Chen Hao chimed in:
"Referee, this guy is just trying to disturb you from officiating the game!
In this situation, he should be called for a technical foul!
This behavior is really too bad!"
After Chen Hao finished speaking, he even glanced at Bogut's right foot with a disdainful expression.
Then, Chen Hao also whispered to him:
"Don't worry, next time it'll be your left foot's turn!"
Chen Hao's words completely enraged Bogut!
Chapter 248: Crazy and repeated humiliation of Bogugou! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, we must not let him go easily!
Bogut directly shoved Chen Hao hard in the chest with both hands!
This time, he used all his strength in the shove.
Moreover, he launched a surprise attack.
This kind of sudden sneak attack was impossible to guard against.
If nothing went wrong, Chen Hao would have been pushed flying a long distance by him.
He might even have been injured as a result.
As he shoved Chen Hao, a cruel smile appeared on Bogut's lips.
In his opinion, Chen Hao would definitely suffer a serious injury this time.
As for himself, he thought he probably wouldn't be ejected from the game.
Even if he were ejected, it would still be a good way to vent his anger.
Furthermore, if the Dragon Country Team lost Chen Hao, their strength would also be greatly reduced.
This outcome wasn't too bad for Australia.
However, if nothing goes wrong, something usually does.
Bogut's shove was successfully anticipated by Chen Hao.
He merely shifted his body slightly and dodged Bogut's shove.
This left Bogut with no outlet for his full strength, and he instantly lost his balance, falling heavily to the ground!
At this moment, Chen Hao stood beside him with a curious expression and asked:
"Hey, what are you doing?
Are you trying to fake a foul?
But I didn't even touch you, so why did you fall so badly?
Luckily, the referee saw it clearly, otherwise, I really wouldn't be able to explain myself.
Next time, when you try to fake a foul, remember to pick the right moment."
After speaking, Chen Hao even threw his hands up towards the referee in a wronged manner.
After seeing Bogut's actions, the referee immediately signaled a technical foul.
After all, this guy's behavior was truly egregious.
If Chen Hao had really been pushed to the ground by him, the consequences could have been quite serious.
At this moment, Bogut heard the huge roars of laughter from all the Fans in the arena.
In that moment, he once again became the clown of the entire venue.
Even his teammates came over to him with helpless expressions and pulled him up from the ground.
"Hey, Andre, can we play the game properly?
We don't necessarily have to lose this game!
But the prerequisite is that your mindset cannot be problematic.
Your emotions are a bit out of control right now!"
The veteran of the Australian national team said to Bogut with a frustrated look.
"I know, you don't need to tell me that!"
Bogut was extremely frustrated, and he muttered a sentence.
Although Bogut didn't manage to shove Chen Hao hard to the ground, at least he himself wasn't ejected.
So, for Bogut, this wasn't bad news either.
However, his grudge with Chen Hao was not over yet!
He wanted Chen Hao to know what real dirty play in basketball was like.
Since Chen Hao dared to step on his foot, he could also trip Chen Hao, letting Chen Hao experience the taste of injury.
Tripping is absolutely not allowed on the basketball court.
Because it can easily cause serious injuries, which are extremely damaging to players.
If such behavior occurs on the court, the player will definitely be ejected by the referee.
In severe cases, he may even face a suspension.
However, Bogut didn't care about any of that now; all he wanted to do was make Chen Hao feel pain.
Chen Hao calmly glanced at Bogut.
Of course, he knew what Bogut was thinking of doing.
However, Chen Hao wouldn't let him succeed.
The reason he didn't let Bogut get ejected immediately was because he wanted to properly toy with him.
Such a rare opportunity, of course, he had to make him look utterly foolish.
Especially since it was the Dragon Country's home court, this kind of opportunity was once in a lifetime.
Besides, humiliating a player constantly is far more interesting than getting him fouled out.
In this kind of setting, continuously subjecting him to public humiliation, just thinking about it is fun.
After the Dragon Country Team completed the technical foul free throw, they continued their offense!
Chen Hao held the ball at the top of the arc.
At this moment, Bogut had tightened his defense.
He had experienced Chen Hao's impact, so he didn't dare to be overconfident this time.
If Chen Hao really drove hard to the basket, he would consider tripping Chen Hao at a crucial moment.
But he absolutely couldn't try to block Chen Hao directly; this guy was truly brutal.
If he really tried to block Chen Hao head-on, he might very well be posterized by Chen Hao again.
Therefore, to get back at Chen Hao, he had to find the most suitable opportunity.
As the saying goes, it's easy to guard against an open spear, but hard to guard against a hidden arrow; that's the meaning.
However, what Bogut didn't know was that while he was plotting against Chen Hao, Chen Hao was also plotting against him.
At this moment, Chen Hao passed the ball to Liu Wei.
And he himself slowly walked to the left corner, seemingly with no intention of attacking.
Upon seeing Chen Hao's movement, Bogut's mood became somewhat frustrated.
He had wanted to make a move on Chen Hao during this offense, but it seemed he would have to wait until the next one.
After seeing Chen Hao's positioning, Liu Wei signaled Yao Ming to come up for a screen.
And after the screen, Yao Ming quickly rolled to the basket!
Liu Wei passed the ball into Yao Ming's hands!
Bogut timely stood in front of Yao Ming, not giving him an opportunity to attack!
Just as Yao Ming received the ball, Chen Hao suddenly burst from the baseline!
Like a cheetah, he instantly arrived under the basket!
Yao Ming's peripheral vision had already noticed Chen Hao's run!
He then threw the ball into the air!
And at this moment, Chen Hao had already leaped high!
When Bogut saw Yao Ming throw the ball into the air, he instantly had an ominous premonition!
He quickly turned his head to look behind him and above!
Immediately, his pupils contracted instantly!
Because he clearly saw Chen Hao's figure already appearing above his head!
And his hands had firmly caught the basketball passed by Yao Ming!
This was an alley-oop play!
Bogut once again became the backdrop!
This time, Chen Hao also completed the dunk by stepping over Bogut's head!
This dunk was even more humiliating than the 'crotch humiliation'!
Bogut's mood now was as if he had been 'dogged'!
He had originally planned to get back at Chen Hao, but he didn't expect to be outsmarted by Chen Hao!
He was ambushed by Chen Hao once again!
This dunk was undoubtedly one of the top ten plays of the day!
Thinking of this, Bogut's mood became incredibly irritable and depressed!
He knew he couldn't continue to be humiliated like this!
He had to do something, otherwise, he would truly be nailed to the pillar of shame!
So, just as Chen Hao was about to land, Bogut had already extended his left foot and placed it where Chen Hao was about to land!
His movement was very covert, and the referee couldn't possibly see it!
Moreover, players usually come down from the rim excitedly after a dunk.
They wouldn't pay attention to their feet at all.
This was the perfect opportunity for a sneak attack!
Bogut had even imagined Chen Hao's scream as he stepped on his left foot!
Indeed, a scream appeared!
But it wasn't from Chen Hao's mouth!
Chapter 249: Bogut's unethical sneak attack? Then you'll lose your life!
The scream came from Bogut's mouth!
Because Chen Hao had already noticed Bogut's sneaky move!
So, the moment he landed, his feet secretly exerted force, aimed at Bogut's foot, and stomped down hard!
With his titanium alloy physique, Chen Hao's feet had no chance of getting injured.
And when he stomped on Bogut's foot with all his might, Bogut had already heard the sound of his foot bones cracking!
That's why he let out a scream!
The players on the court were all shocked by this result.
Because it seemed like they hadn't seen Chen Hao do anything to Bogut.
When they focused their attention on Bogut, they saw Chen Hao's feet on his foot!
Everyone was very confused by this situation!
Because in this situation, it should have been Chen Hao who screamed!
They were all professional basketball players, and they should have known that this was a stomp.
Chen Hao was very likely to sprain his ankle.
But in this situation, Chen Hao seemed perfectly fine.
Instead, Bogut was the one in trouble.
This indeed exceeded everyone's expectations!
When the Dragon Country Team players saw Bogut's expression, they all thought he was faking it.
A'lian even actively shouted at the referee:
"Referee, look at his foot!
He deliberately tripped Chen Hao!
Now that he sees Chen Hao is not injured, he deliberately screams loudly!
This guy is clearly trying to confuse your judgment!"
The referees had actually noticed Bogut's foot, and they also saw through Bogut's intentions.
Therefore, in this situation, the referees naturally would not call any foul on Chen Hao.
Instead, they directly called a technical foul on Bogut!
This was equivalent to warning Bogut to stop his antics.
Otherwise, the consequences would be very serious.
This result made Bogut very unhappy.
Because he thought it should be Chen Hao's problem at this time.
His foot was indeed in a lot of trouble.
But now he didn't receive any comfort, and even got a technical foul.
So he felt extremely wronged, and vented all this emotion on Chen Hao!
While Chen Hao wasn't paying attention, he actually punched Chen Hao in the chest!
Bogut now hated Chen Hao to the core!
He put all his strength into this punch!
He was ten-tenths sure that if he hit Chen Hao in the chest, this guy would definitely be lying in a hospital bed for at least half a year.
Thinking of this, Bogut's mood became more comfortable.
Because only then could he truly vent his anger!
This game had actually completely lost its suspense, they couldn't be the Dragon Country Team's opponents!
Since they couldn't win the game, they definitely had to do something they wanted to do!
Then Chen Hao had to pay the price for his previous actions!
When they saw Bogut throw a heavy punch at Chen Hao, the referees were stunned!
They wanted to stop it, but it was too late!
Because no one would have thought he would ambush Chen Hao at this moment!
When the Dragon Country Team players saw this scene, their eyes were practically spitting fire!
Especially Zhu Ba, when there was trouble, he really stepped up!
He had already clenched his fists and was the first to rush towards Bogut!
However, just when everyone thought Chen Hao would be knocked to the ground with one punch, an incredible scene occurred!
Chen Hao easily dodged Bogut's sneak attack punch!
He even looked at Bogut with a mocking expression and said:
"Let's not even talk about the force of your punch.
The moment you threw the punch, I already saw through your move!
Because you are simply too slow!
So slow that I wanted to doze off!
Do you really think ambushing me works?
If ambushing me worked, then there wouldn't be so many players who fell under my fists!
Since you've already thrown a punch, then according to international practice, it's my turn!
You better be ready!"
At this moment, Bogut was terrified!
He never dreamed that Chen Hao would dodge his punch so easily!
His punch completely missed!
After missing, his entire body instantly flew towards Chen Hao!
This was Chen Hao's best chance to punch!
When he heard what Chen Hao said, he already regretted his impulsiveness immensely!
He knew Chen Hao's fierce reputation in the NBA, and knew that Chen Hao never held back.
He had been hot-headed just now and hadn't considered this at all.
But now, when he couldn't launch an effective attack on Chen Hao, he realized that he had made a serious mistake.
He shouldn't have actively attacked Chen Hao, this guy was best at counterattacking!
However, regret was useless!
Because Chen Hao's fist had already heavily smashed onto Bogut's head!
That's not all!
Chen Hao's knee also pushed upwards, directly hitting his 'little brother'!
This action directly made Bogut's entire face incredibly distorted and twisted!
After doing all this, Chen Hao stopped his actions with satisfaction.
Then, he stared at the referee with an innocent expression and said:
"Referees, you should have all seen it!
He was the one who attacked me first!
I was just forced to counterattack!
He's really something, his attacks are too heavy!
He almost scared me to death!"
Chen Hao's words almost made the referees curse on the spot.
Because they clearly saw that Chen Hao's two counterattack moves were truly deadly!
Although Bogut's actions just now were also very excessive, at least he missed!
But Chen Hao's two blows could really have taken Bogut's life!
But Chen Hao still looked innocent!
This guy's acting skills were too good!
However, for the Dragon Country Team players, there was nothing wrong with Chen Hao doing this!
Because in their opinion, Chen Hao's actions were correct.
He was the victim, and his counterattack was to protect himself!
At this moment, the Dragon Country players had already rushed to Chen Hao's front, forming a confrontation with the Australia players!
As for Bogut, who had been counterattacked by Chen Hao, he had completely lost his voice!
He couldn't even scream!
His face was filled with pain and a twisted expression!
Looking at Bogut, who was clutching his crotch with both hands, the on-site commentator Yu Jia also said with emotion:
"Looking at his painful expression, it's probably beyond saving!
But this guy attacked first, so he brought it upon himself!"
Director Zhang, who was beside him, was already scared pale; he was truly afraid of Chen Hao now!
He also worried that if his commentary provoked Chen Hao, Chen Hao would do the same to him.
Then it would truly be over!
The Fans on the court had completely fallen into chaos, loudly condemning Bogut's sneak attack.
As for his fate, there was no sympathy.
After all, this was the Dragon Country's home court.
And the referees even called a timeout at this moment, urgently sending medical personnel to check on Bogut's condition.
A man's worst pain, this was no joke!
Now, how to deal with Chen Hao became the biggest problem plaguing the referees!
Chapter 250: Will I be suspended for breaking Bogut's two balls? A suspension is impossible!
After reviewing the video replay, the referee determined that Bogut was solely responsible for the incident.
If he hadn't deliberately ambushed Chen Hao, Chen Hao wouldn't have acted so ruthlessly.
It's important to remember that he first tripped Chen Hao, but Chen Hao wasn't injured as a result.
Under these circumstances, Bogut still dared to ambush Chen Hao, which completely enraged Chen Hao.
So, the final outcome was that Bogut's attempt to gain an advantage backfired, and his manhood was likely beyond saving.
Because Chen Hao's knee strike truly put all his force into it.
Chen Hao's titanium alloy knee was not something to be trifled with.
At that moment, Bogut was already shattered!
Yes, completely shattered!
Both were shattered!
This makes it easy to understand why his expression was so pained!
However, if one considers his previous malicious actions towards Chen Hao, then he truly doesn't deserve any sympathy.
The USA Team players watching on site were all frightened after seeing Chen Hao's actions towards Bogut.
Especially Paul, who is known for his dirty play, his expression became extremely shocked:
"This guy, his moves are too ruthless, aren't they?"
Howard, on the other hand, was a straightforward guy, and he shook his head, saying:
"In my opinion, although Chen's actions were a bit excessive.
His behavior was not wrong.
Andre tripped him twice in a row, and he didn't retaliate.
In the end, that guy still tried to ambush him.
If Chen had really been successfully ambushed by him, it would have been extremely serious."
Kobe's expression was equally solemn:
"Anyway, on the basketball court, violent behavior should not occur.
Both of them were wrong!"
James, however, had a very calm expression:
"It's not our first time meeting that guy.
As long as we don't provoke him, he won't attack us proactively.
This guy is still relatively disciplined.
As long as we let our basketball do the talking, it's good for everyone!"
James's words were approved by most of the USA Team players.
After all, they knew that Chen Hao was not a player who would go crazy for no reason.
Of course, this was assuming he wasn't provoked.
If Chen Hao was actively provoked, then it would truly be a different story.
For the Dragon Country Fans, they believed Chen Hao was not wrong at all.
They even thought Chen Hao shouldn't receive any punishment.
After all, Chen Hao was only reacting defensively.
If he hadn't retaliated, he would have been the one injured.
It's worth noting that Bogut's actions were also quite insidious.
But for the referees, this was not their standard for judgment.
Any violent behavior is not allowed on the basketball court.
Especially since Chen Hao's actions this time truly caused serious physical harm to Bogut.
Under these circumstances, Chen Hao naturally could not continue to participate in the upcoming game.
Therefore, the referee ultimately made the final ruling:
Chen Hao was ejected from the game!
At the same time, Bogut also received the same punishment.
Although he was the biggest victim in this conflict, that could not be an excuse for him to escape punishment.
The cameras on site continuously followed Bogut.
He had already been carried off the court on a stretcher.
However, the painful expression on his face still had not disappeared.
Whenever they saw Chen Hao's knee strike fiercely hitting his groin, everyone would spontaneously think of the sound of shattering eggs!
Chen Hao was not affected by the result of being ejected.
Instead, he smiled and said to the Dragon Country Team players:
"I have done what I needed to do!
The rest is up to you!"
At this moment, Yao Ming was also quite angry about Chen Hao's ejection.
Because in his opinion, Chen Hao was only reacting defensively.
Now he was implicated, which was quite unfair to the Dragon Country Team.
However, since things had already happened, they could only accept it.
Without Chen Hao, the Dragon Country Team's strength would definitely be greatly diminished.
Therefore, all the offensive pressure now fell on Yao Ming.
However, Yao Ming had long been accustomed to this kind of pressure.
Before Chen Hao joined the Dragon Country Team, he was already in this state.
Besides, Australia was also missing Bogut, and their strength was equally greatly diminished.
It wasn't that the Dragon Country Team would definitely lose this game; their strengths were now evenly matched!
The Dragon Country Fans on site had great trust in Yao Ming, and they believed that Yao Ming would definitely lead the Dragon Country Team to victory in this game.
And the result was indeed the same!
After Australia lost Bogut, their advantage in the paint was completely gone!
Under these circumstances, Yao Ming could dominate their interior with impunity.
This made it impossible for Australia to limit Yao Ming's performance, causing them to fall into huge trouble.
Although they found some offensive opportunities from beyond the arc and made some shots.
However, compared to the high morale of the Dragon Country Team, they were indeed lacking too much.
In the end, Yao Ming lived up to expectations, scoring a monstrous 38 points and 18 rebounds, leading his team to victory over Australia.
Thus, the Dragon Country Team was the first to enter the semifinals of the Olympic Games Men's Basketball tournament!
This was also the best historical result for the Dragon Country Men's Basketball Team!
The Dragon Country Fans were very excited about this result, and they believed that the Dragon Country Team could go even further!
After Chen Hao was ejected, he immediately left the Stadium.
For him, the outcome of this game was no longer important.
If the Dragon Country Team still lost the game without Bogut.
Then it proved they didn't deserve to win this game.
And what Chen Hao needed to do now was actually to wait for the final ruling to come.
The Olympic Games' penalty standards were not the same as the NBA's.
Many times, even Chen Hao didn't know if he would face a suspension.
The best outcome, of course, would be no suspension, which would give the Dragon Country Team a chance to advance further.
If Chen Hao was suspended, then this semifinal appearance should be their best result at these Olympic Games!
Chen Hao might not care about the victory in this game, but the Dragon Country Fans cared a great deal.
They expressed great concern about whether Chen Hao would be punished after the game.
However, the Organizing Committee did not provide an answer immediately after the game ended.
Because they also needed to discuss whether to impose additional penalties on Chen Hao.
Nevertheless, many national teams that had reached the quarterfinals had already put forward their opinions:
Chen Hao must be suspended!
His behavior was too egregious!
After all, no one wanted to face the Dragon Country Team with Chen Hao; such a Dragon Country Team was truly too strong!
So, this was the best opportunity to ban Chen Hao!
Just when Fans all over the world thought Chen Hao would be suspended, the relevant punishment was finally announced!
And the final outcome of the handling also stunned Fans worldwide!
They also finally realized that these were the Olympic Games held in the Dragon Country!
