Chapter 118 The first Olympic Games, vs. the American Dream Team!

This kind of person really exists. Perhaps because of Wang Chao's sudden appearance, some people's cakes may be touched, or perhaps they are simply unhappy because Wang Chao is too popular. In short, many people hope that Wang Chao will be fierce

If you fall, it is best to be the kind that you can never get up.

When the matter began to brew and ferment, Yao Yao keenly realized the severity of the matter and immediately persuaded Wang Chao to publicly apologize to the media to minimize the impact of the matter.

The public relations team including Yao's team also had the same suggestion.

This is not a very serious matter itself, it is just a bit sensitive in time.

The Basketball Association's official reaction when he learned about this matter was to suppress the matter. Nothing is as important as the Olympics at the moment.

Besides, Wang Chao's professional attitude is recognized by everyone, including head coach Yunas. He is not afraid of death in training like a desperate mahogany. No one in the national team of the Chinese men's basketball team dares to say that he can do it.

.

As long as Wang Chao sincerely admits his mistake, Yao Yao, Yunas and others come out to help and say a few words, and with the official control of public opinion, it is not difficult to calm this matter.

But Wang Chao didn't care.

"Apology? Why do you apologize?"

I didn’t break the law or violate the discipline, what’s there to apologize?

As for their doubts that they are too lax before the Olympics, which will lead to their misperforming performance in the game, then they will be done by slapping those guys in the face with practical actions during the game.

He never had the habit of apologizing without making mistakes.

Yao was also helpless about Wang Chao's awesome temper. It was because of his temper that he was banned for three years.

I originally thought that Wang Chao's temper had been much more restrained after he made his mark in the NBA. After all, he was willing to return to the national team of men's basketball team, but now it seems that a person's temper is difficult to change.

...

For the Olympics, this is a trivial episode in itself.

Especially when the official began to make efforts to prohibit the media and online from discussing anything about athletes outside the stadium of the Chinese Olympic Games, there were immediately fewer doubts.

But these sounds did not completely disappear, but just temporarily lurked under the policy, like a wild beast waiting for an opportunity to hunt, hiding in the dark, waiting for the prey to appear and then rushed out and give the other party a fatal blow.

This flaw is naturally when the Chinese men's basketball team failed to qualify in the group stage and failed the expectations of the Chinese fans!

On August 8, the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games was held as scheduled, and the whole world focused on the capital of China, with an unprecedented grand occasion.

Two days after the opening ceremony, on August 10, the men's basketball preliminaries officially began.

At 22:15 pm, at the Wukesong Stadium in the capital, the first duel between the Chinese men's basketball team, the most popular Chinese men's basketball team, is about to begin!

That night, countless Chinese people sat in front of the TV, looking forward to the start of the competition.

"Hello, spectators, this is the live commentary game of the Olympic men's basketball event Group B group stage of the Chinese men's basketball program and the US men's basketball team. I am the commentator of this game, Director Sun, today we

Former men's basketball national player, Director Zhang, also invited to bring you a commentary on the game. Director Zhang is welcome."

The combination of Director Sun and Director Zhang is considered a classic commentary combination of men's basketball in the 2008 Olympics.

The two of them didn't talk much. After a brief introduction, they immediately joined the game commentary.

"We can see that both Chinese and American players have shook hands and paid tribute to each other on the court, and the game is about to begin."

"The starting lineup of the Chinese team will introduce to you, point guard Liu Wei, shooting guard Sun Yue, small forward Wang Chao, power forward Alian, center Yao."

"The starting lineup of the US men's basketball team is point guard Kidd, shooting guard Kobe, small forward James, power forward Anthony, and center Howard."

"Guide Zhang, what do you think about the starting lineup of both sides?"

Director Zhang took over the topic and said: "The current Chinese men's basketball team can be regarded as the strongest lineup in the history of the Chinese men's basketball team. There are five NBA or former NBA players in the team, including Yao Yao and Wang Chao.

NBA All-Star-level stars, as long as they can play as they deserve, their strength will not be inferior to teams from any country in the world."

"The US men's basketball team has the title of Dream Team. In this Olympics, they also have another nickname, Redemption Team, because in recent years, the US men's basketball team has not performed well in the World Championships. In the 2004 Athens Olympics, 2006

In the World Championships of the Men's Basketball Team, they were unable to win the championship, so this Olympics was a journey of redemption for them. The American men's basketball team wanted to win the Olympic championship and return to the top of the world."

"So we can see that the lineup of this American men's basketball team is the strongest dream team in recent years. All 12 players in the team are All-Star players, and they are all in their first year of playing, with the only exception

It is Jason Kidd, who is already 35 years old, but as a point guard, Kidd himself relies on game experience and passes to play. His rich veteran experience can also drive this younger dream team well.

Win."

"This game is a game that requires one's own energy for the Chinese men's basketball team, and it also plays a crucial role in facing other opponents in the future."

On the court, both substitutes have already left the court. Howard, as Wang Chao's teammate, took the initiative to step forward and hug Wang Chao to signal.

"Brother, I didn't expect that we would still play against each other as opponents on the court." Howard said to Wang Chao: "Come on."

Howard didn't have the same laughing expression on his face at this time. Even he knew that in international competitions, especially in such an important game as the Olympics, he must be taken seriously, especially this Olympics is also extremely important for the US team.

, They must regain the lost championship, so in terms of pressure, the US men's basketball team is no less than the Chinese men's basketball team.

Wang Chao didn't say anything, just nodded slightly at Howard. He would also do his best in this game. Although his opponent is the strongest American men's basketball team, the Chinese team is not prepared to give up selectively. After all,

This is the home court of the Chinese men's basketball team. It is reasonable and it is impossible for them to choose to give up without even playing.

If that is true, how can they be worthy of the Chinese fans who came to the scene to cheer for them?

The game is about to begin, and the stands of the Wukesong Stadium are all full. A large number of Chinese fans are holding high national flags and waving flags for them. The cheers and cheers are deafening and giving them all to the Chinese men's basketball court.

The players have endless courage!

As the referee threw the basketball high into the sky, UAE and Howard jumped the ball, the game officially began!

Excellent explosion and bounce allowed Howard to easily win the jump ball. Kidd, who received the basketball, threw the ball towards the frontcourt before halftime. Anthony, who had rushed to the basket, received the ball and wanted to attack but was tight.

The UAE, who was following him, destroyed the right to go out of bounds and the Chinese men's basketball team.

As Wang Chao remembered, at the beginning of the game, the US men's basketball team seemed a little nervous or had a cold feel. The offensive choice and efficiency of the first few rounds were not high.

However, this is also the shortcoming of the 08 Dream Team. The lineup is too low and the ability to attack is insufficient.

There is only one real center in the 2008 Dream Team, that is Howard, and the remaining inside players are only power forwards like Bosh and Boozer who are more space-oriented.

But while sacrificing heights, the Dream Team received almost exaggerated mobility.

Just like the current starting lineup, including Howard, the running speed is faster than many outside players of other teams, which also makes the Dream Team invincible when conducting fast-paced offensive and defensive conversions.

The battle between the Chinese men's basketball team and the US men's basketball team in the 2008 Olympic group stage has always been regarded as the most exciting game between China and the US in so many years.

Because in this game, under the leadership of Yao Dayi, the Chinese men's basketball team was once in a difficult situation to fight against the American men's basketball team. The two sides were comparable in the first quarter, and they still did not lose the upper hand in the first half of the second quarter until the first quarter.

In the second half of the second quarter, the Chinese men's basketball team gradually could not keep up with the opponent's rhythm, and the scoring efficiency began to decline. The opponent's oppressive defense forced frequent mistakes and lost the ball and was successfully scored as a counterattack to open the score.

The final score of the two teams was 101:70, and the difference of 31 points was also the smallest difference in the history of the two teams in the Olympic Games.

Wang Chao has seen countless reviews of this game in the future, so it is clear that there are several reasons why the two teams can play hard to solve at the beginning.

First, the opponent is still in the test period at the beginning of the game, and the offense is mainly reflected in positional combat. Under the FIBA ​​rules that allow joint defense, Dayao stands alone in the inside and stands up to the sky, no matter who rushes into the inside,

To face Yao Yao's defense, the offensive efficiency is of course not good.

Second, the game just started, and the main players of the Chinese men's basketball team were very physically strong. Even if the American men's basketball team rushed, they could keep up with it. The defensive enthusiasm was all online, and Yao Yao was helping to check for omissions at the basket.

, the effect is naturally good.

The third is the accuracy of the outside shooting, especially in the first quarter, the Chinese men's basketball team's outside shooting was very accurate, and even Yao Yu scored a three-pointer from the three-point line.

In addition, there is also the buff superposition of the Chinese men's basketball team's home game, which is a result of various factors that have created this exciting battle.

At present, these buffs still seem to be there, and the Chinese men's basketball team has added another strong aid Wang Chao!

After Sun Yue dribbled through half the game, he immediately passed the ball to Wang Chao.

The defender he faced was Kobe. The strong sense of oppression from the opponent made Sun Yue feel very difficult to dribble, and he had no way to complete the attack alone.

This was not beyond his expectations. The players themselves are very different from the real top NBA stars. Moreover, Kobe has been selected for the best defensive team for many years and is the top outside defender in the entire NBA league.

.

Of course, the opponents Wang Chao faces are not simple, James, an old opponent.

He knew Wang Chao's technical characteristics very well, so he immediately approached Wang Chao as soon as he started, using his body to continuously impress Wang Chao to prevent Wang Chao from easily projecting three points.

But this is not a one-on-one challenge by 1v1 after all.

Just as James was concentrating on guarding Wang Chao, Wang Chao suddenly moved quickly to one side.

James was about to follow up immediately, but he ran into Yao Da’s arms first.

Pick-roll cover!

Yao Yao's huge body completely blocked James aside. Wang Chao hid behind Yao Yao, raised his hand in the direction of the basket and shot.

I have to say that Yao Yao's pick-and-roll quality is really good. James is blocked on the left, and Howard, who wants to make up for defense, is blocking a little on the right. Wang Chao is completely standing behind Yao Yao's shot, which is a bit

Curry's feeling of shooting after pick-and-roll at his peak.

This is also a blessing for Wang Chao, who is 2.06 meters tall and has a prominent arm span. Otherwise, if it were other shorter guards, just the 2.26-meter-long Yao would be similar to a defensive player in front of him.

It's right.
