The Olympic Games put Greece once again in the spotlight of the world.

This is a major event in the sports world, and most of the attendees are sports fans. Of course, the largest number of people present are Greeks.

At this moment, Liu Mang not only represents the Chinese national team, but also represents basketball, one of the three major basketball teams in the world, that is, the Atlanta Hawks club. Due to the strength of the Greek men's basketball team in recent years, it has been a basketball player since the 1990s.

The NBA is one of the top five teams in the world, so the NBA has attracted a lot of attention in Greece. Liu Mang helped Atlanta win its first basketball "world championship", which made the Greeks very unhappy. When the Chinese team entered the stadium, Liu Mang held the Chinese flag.

Leading the Chinese Olympic team into the stadium, when Liu Mang's close-up appeared on the huge screen, there were bursts of boos.

Originally, the 1996 Olympics was Greece's much-anticipated 100th Olympic Games commemoration, but Atlanta preempted it. This also led to Liu Mang being booed by Greek fans when he entered the main venue, the Athens Olympic Stadium, holding the Chinese team's flag.

Liu Mang also heard some kind or malicious looks from the group members at the rear, and the group members at the back were obviously noisy.

Liu Mang could probably guess that he was talking nonsense again.

Men's basketball players also follow the flag bearer and receive envious and jealous looks every time.

Of course, not all sports are like this. Mainly male athletes, and female athletes usually take more photos.

Anyway, it is not the US Olympic team. It is basically impossible for the Chinese Olympic team to have female athletes as flag bearers...

As the ancients said, a person who is not envied by others is a mediocre person.

Faced with envy, jealousy and hatred, Liu Mang soon felt relieved.

Since the Chinese men's basketball team returned to the Olympics in 1984, the strongest player in the men's basketball team has been the flag-bearer of the Olympic team. Athletes from other sports, especially athletes from those sports who have always won championships, have never been in a world competition.

The men's basketball team that has won the knockout rounds has always been dissatisfied that it can continue to serve as the Olympic flag bearer.

Ever since Liu Mang got the position of flag bearer, rumors have been circulating in the Olympic Village where the Chinese team is staying. It is said that Liu Mang was lucky because he was on the basketball team, and that a newcomer to the national team could actually serve as the flag bearer...

Liu Mang also knew this. He wanted to say something about this: I'm sorry. When I first came here, I took away the position of the flag bearer. If you have any dissatisfaction, bite me...

…

…

The opening ceremony of the Greek Olympic Games sounds pretty good to watch, but Liu Mang, who watched the opening ceremony of the 2008 Olympic Games, thought it was quite ordinary. It was mainly a competition of financial resources. Greeks have high welfare and high per capita income, but because of this,

The country didn’t have much money to host the Olympics, and its application failed in 1996 because Atlanta didn’t have the money.

The day after the opening ceremony, the group draws for various sports began in full swing.

Of course, long-term and long-term events like football and archery have already started as early as the 10th.

Yao Ming and Min Lulei represented the Chinese men's basketball team and participated in the draw group.

When the results were notified to the players, Liu Mang was speechless, the Chinese men's basketball team members were speechless, and the coaching staff also had nothing to say.

The world's number one is Serbia and Montenegro, the former Yugoslavia; the world's third is Argentina, the world's fourth is Spain, and the remaining two opponents are New Zealand and Italy... New Zealand is okay, Italy is seventh in the world...

The Chinese team is ranked thirteenth in the world.

On the contrary, the US team is the biggest favorite to win the championship. In addition to Greece and Lithuania, which are fifth and sixth in the world, the remaining opponents are Angola, Puerto Rico, Australia...

The four major coaches went to an emergency meeting, and Liu Mang also felt a headache. He took four familiar teammates, Yao Ming, Wang Zhizhi, Zhu Fangyu, and Li Nan, as well as Zhu Fangyu's club brother, Du Feng, who had just won the championship MVP, and the national team.

The big brother of the team, Guo Shiqiang, who was well-connected and well-connected, called us together for a small meeting.

…

"Your sister! Are you the Hand of God? Why don't you take pictures of the United States and Greece together? We can happily compete with the top five in the world at two tables to fight Landlord!" Liu Mang really couldn't control it this time.

He stopped and sprayed wildly at Yao Ming.

Yao Ming felt as wronged as King Kong Barbie: "I just pressed the button, just once..."

Yao Ming is also very helpless! He originally thought that he could be regarded as the "luckiest" No. 1 pick in NBA history, because he was the No. 1 pick that the Rockets received with the lowest probability since the lottery system was introduced.

But who knows, if this shoot continues, Group A will look like this...

"Okay, okay, don't blame Dayao, we should unite." Big brother Guo Shiqiang thought Liu Mang and Yao Ming had conflicts because of this.

Liu Mang quickly explained: "Um...Brother Qiang, I don't blame Dayao. I just wanted to beat him because he was unhappy. It's just that he is too tall, so I may not be able to beat him."

Yao Ming felt warm in his heart after hearing the first half, but in the second half, he wondered, is this a human being?

"But it's already like this. Unity alone is not enough. We should think of a way. We must be among the top four in the group!" Liu Mang's expression suddenly became serious.

If the old players of the Eagles saw Liu Mang's current state, they would secretly cry out to God for help.

"Find a way?" Guo Shiqiang is desperate. The opponents are Spain, Argentina, Italy, and Serbia and Montenegro, which inherited Yugoslavia. Is there any way he can think of?

Even Serbia and Montenegro, which only consists of Serbia and Montenegro, have a lineup that cannot be compared to the Chinese team.

This is also the current mentality of the rest of the Chinese team. In the minds of most people in China, European and American teams just torture Germany, torture Nowitzki, and others, and they seem to have never won.

"Oh my God, what else can we think of? I feel like we are dead and dead again just like two years ago, and we are fighting to the death this time..." Zhu Fangyu was so depressed that he even spoke Cantonese.

The atmosphere suddenly became very gloomy.

However, Liu Mang and Yao Ming are special cases, and Wang Zhizhi also counts.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! When you are depressed, you are most likely to have your heartstrings stirred. At this time, Liu Mang's power of the head of state began to increase, and Liu Mang began to cheat again... No, it was

He began to give his teammates confidence, and said with a sense of charm: "Have you forgotten something? You have the best players in the world, and the best center in the world! Gasol from Spain? Gino from Argentina.

Billy? Bargnani of Italy? Milicic and Radmanovic of Serbia and Montenegro? I pinched and beat them all!"

Liu Mang's confident look is easily contagious, especially the teammates of the Chinese team who were depressed after entering the group of death. They were gradually affected by Liu Mang.

Originally, Liu Mang didn't have much say. He was new here. Except for Yao Ming, Wang Zhizhi, and Zhu Fangyu, they all accepted him just because of his strength. But for him, they can only say that they just met him.

Compared with teammates who have played in the national team for many years and played against him in the CBA for many years, Liu Mang is still very marginal.

But now, Liu Mang has become the backbone.

"I have always felt that our coaches are too rigid. Their defensive arrangements are very good, but offensively, do you want to play something different with me?"

Seeing Liu Mang's expression, Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi have been Liu Mang's opponents for two years. They are so familiar! They immediately felt a chill in their chrysanthemums...

…

…

With the grouping ceremony completed on August 14th, starting from the 15th, various events will begin one after another.

In terms of basketball, the Chinese team will play Spain for the first time on the 16th, but the game has already started on the 15th.

The team that gets the most attention is obviously still the US team. The US team's opponent in the first game on the 15th was not very good, ranking 19th in the world. Because Russia withdrew from the competition, it replaced the Puerto Rico team that entered the Olympics.

People thought they were going to see a massacre, and they did see a massacre, but...the American team was massacred!

The Puerto Rico team beat the United States 92-73, a big upset at the beginning of the Olympic men's basketball event.

There is no shooting from the outside, the offense cannot break the zone defense, and the inside space is small. Except for the "acrobatic" Odom, Iverson, and Marbury, they can score with various difficult moves; Boozer and Anthony are skilled players.

COSCO's shooting performance was good, and others were completely blinded. Duncan was lost on the offensive end of the game and got very good offensive rebounds. He only played 8 offensive rebounds in 20 minutes, but he had a total of 9 rebounds in the game, which meant that he could not defend at all.

Come on, there are no defensive rebounds to grab, and there are many offensive rebounds, which proves that the US team just can't make shots!

It's understandable that the offense couldn't score, depending on the lineup, but on the defensive end, the U.S. team was beaten at the basket. Puerto Rico scored a total of 52 points at close range and under the basket, while the U.S. team only scored 28 points in this area, which was almost a loss.

Halfway to Puerto Rico!

The performance of the U.S. team blinded basketball fans. With such a performance, the players of the Puerto Rico team did not expect that the maximum point difference once reached 30 points. They were playing completely according to the U.S. team!

…

"You see, capitalism is a paper tiger!"

The Chinese team also came to watch the match between the US team and Puerto Rico. After the match in which the US team was brutally beaten, Liu Mang looked like he was giving advice...

Seeing that the American team wanted to find a crack in the ground and ran away without hugging their opponents after the game, while Puerto Rico was having a carnival, the Chinese team felt incredible!

That's Puerto Rico! Even without Liu Mang, the Chinese team is confident of beating it!

Puerto Rico originally had little chance of entering the finals, but after defeating the US team, as long as they win one more game, they will have a chance to enter the finals!

"Does it really mean that 'Princes and generals are willing to be together'?" The players of the Chinese team were all excited!

Liu Mang specially asked his teammates to form a group to watch this game today, just for this reason!

Fortunately, Puerto Rico was strong and the U.S. team was weak. Just like Liu Mang remembered, they beat the U.S. team.
Chapter completed!
