Chapter 130: The momentum is like a rainbow

At 8 pm on August 8, 2oo8, the opening ceremony of the 29th Olympic Games was grandly opened at the National Stadium (Bird's Nest).

After enjoying the shocking opening performance, the Olympic entrance ceremony followed.

As the source of the Olympic movement, Greece was the first to appear.

The most eye-catching part of the US team's entry was Kobe Bryant. He wore a white baseball cap and looked suit today, talking and laughing, walking in the crowd with his teammates from the Dream Team.

As the host, the Chinese team ranked last, and Yao Ming was officially appointed as the Olympic flag bearer two days before the Olympics.

Li Rong, Yi Jianlian, Sun Yue and other men's basketball players walked behind Yao Ming. When passing through the US team, the two sides were opponents of the opening match, and the collision of their eyes brought some sparks.

"Mero," Kobe touched Anthony's arm with his elbow, "Do you dare to make a bet?"

"What bet?" Anthony asked curiously.

"That Chinese boy snatched your All-Star," Kobe chuckled, "We're just betting that you can finish a dunk on his head? 5o US dollars."

The conversation between the two aroused Kidd's interest. He was an old man. He immediately smelled the arousal in Kobe's words and said with a smile: "I'll come too, but the bet is too small and boring. I bet 5,000 US dollars, Mero can't do this."

"Ok!" Kobe looked at Anthony, "How about it? Do you dare to gamble?"

When Anthony heard the two of them singing and reconciling, he knew that it was not simple and hesitated whether to accept the bet.

Money is not a big problem. Not to mention 5,000 US dollars, even 50,000 is just a drop in the bucket for him.

The most important thing is face. Although he was very unhappy with Li Rong snatching his All-Star position, he also admitted in his heart that he is a difficult guy and has a good defensive end.

If you lose the bet, it will be even more ugly if it spreads out in the future.

"Hey, Merro, you won't dare to agree, are you?" Howard's voice is always so annoying.

Anthony snorted coldly: "Isn't it just a dunk on his head? The deal!"

The opening ceremony lasts until near the early morning, and delegations from various countries will return to their residences to rest for one night to prepare for the next game.

The opening match of the men's basketball team was on August 10. This game can be said to have attracted national attention, and both China and the United States will be present to watch.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, CCTV began broadcasting the Sino-US war on time.

"Hello, CCTV, audience friends..." Teacher Sun Zhengping's loud and loud voice rang out on the TV, "Now we are in Wukesong Basketball Hall, the first day of the men's basketball game of the 29th Olympic Games, the Chinese team and the American team are in a confrontation."

After pausing, Sun Zhengping continued to introduce the lineup of both sides: "We will introduce the Chinese team's lineup to you. The organizational guard is Liu Wei, the attack guard is Sun Yue, the small forward Li Rong, the power forward Yi Jianlian, and the center Yao Ming."

The commentator of Zhang Weiping with Sun Zhengping: "Today, Sun Yue served as the Chinese team. Sun Yue had just reached a signing agreement with the Lakers. His future teammate Kobe is opposite. The Lakers also hope that Sun Yue will play the attacking guard and see how he performs today."

At the beginning, James stood in front of the technical stage and threw the magnesium powder into the air like he was in the NBA arena.

However, what sounded in my ears was not the familiar cheers, but the overwhelming cheers of the Chinese team.

Team USA lineup: Kobe, James, Howard, Anthony, Kidd.

Yi Jianlian and Howard competed for the ball in the middle circle. Both of them were wearing No. 11 jerseys, but Yi Jianlian was wearing the national team's red jerseys, while Dream Team was wearing a white jersey.

Howard used a man-like jump to James. The ball did not stop in his hands, but went straight down to Anthony at the basket.

Li Rong's defense never dared to relax from the first second of the game. He followed Anthony step by step. After judging James' intention to pass, he got the position one step ahead of time.

The two men collided under the basket. Anthony didn't expect that James' pass would come so quickly. He had to reach out to catch the ball in the air without gaining a foothold.

However, due to the physical contact between the two, Anthony did not take off the ball sufficiently and did not control the ball that was flying in a hurry. The basketball then flew out of bounds.

The Dream Team made a mistake at the beginning.

The Dream Team did use their full-game pressing tactics, and Sun Yue immediately gave the ball to Li Rong who came to pick up the ball at the bottom line.

Kobe and Kidd respectively entangled their respective counterparts Sun Yue and Liu Wei, while Li Rong chose to dribble the ball through halftime.

Anthony tried to stop Li Rong from starting near the center line, but was thrown away by him with a change of direction and strided straight to the frontcourt where only two people guarded the Dream Team.

Seeing this, James hurriedly gave up Yi Jianlian, who was guarding him, and came up to delay Li Rong's impact.

When he moved horizontally in front of Li Rong two steps, he found that the basketball in Li Rong's hand had already flew straight towards the basket.

"boom!"

The basketball stand swayed, and Yi Jianlian soared into the sky and received a pass from Li Rong to complete an all-handed dunk.

In an instant, the audience cheered and applause thundered.

"Beautiful!" The two commentators, Sun Zhengping and Zhang Weiping, said in unison.

"Yi Jianlian started with a dunk!" Sun Zhengping's voice was very excited.

"The US team underestimated Li Rong's ability to pass the game in this ball," said Zhang Weiping. "I still wanted to use the previous method to hit us, but Li Rong easily broke through to the three-point line. When Li Rong got to the three-point line, you would definitely not be able to defend without anyone. James could only come up to make up for defense. Once he made up for defense, Yi Jianlian behind him was missed."

"Good job!" Li Rong and Yi Jianlian hit the high and quickly returned to the frontcourt.

This time, the US team's position attack made a complicated screening tactic. Anthony provided a cover for James at the 45-degree three-point line on the left. James used the cover to receive a pass from Kidd to the top of the arc and directly rushed to the basket.

Li Rong instantly recognized the tactical purpose of the Dream Team this time. Even if James rushed to the inside, he faced the defense of two seven-foot-long men Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian. This was just a feint.

"Arc top!" Li Rongxun shouted to Liu Wei.

Liu Wei did not shrink to the basket, but instead defended Kidd closely.

James's other pass opportunity was Anthony who pulled outside the three-point line after the screening, and Li Rong was the one who defended Anthony.

Sure enough, James rushed to the penalty area and faced Yao Ming's defense and chose to pass the ball out to Anthony. Li Rong had been waiting for a long time again. A fish-jumping ball-like action directly stabbed the ball into the frontcourt, and at the same time, he kept flying towards the ball and chased the ball.

Facing the unguarded basket, Li Rong grabbed the ball and then dunked it with both hands. Anthony, who was chasing behind, gave up this defense early when he saw this and watched Li Rong complete the goal.
