Chapter 229 The Stronger Dream Eight Team
On July 7, the final roster of the Chinese basketball team has not yet been determined, which made many fans couldn't help but scold their mothers.

The Olympic Games will start in less than a month. When will the list come out?
Will such procrastination affect the training of the players?

Fortunately, at 8:30 that night, the Basketball Association finally announced the official list of players for the Chinese team.Team leader: Li Yuanwei, deputy team leaders: Hu Jiashi, Bai Xilin.

Members of the coaching staff: Jonas, Late, El, Guo Shiqiang, Nelson.

Player list: No. 4 Chen Jianghua, No. 5 Liu Wei, No. 6 Late, No. 7 Wang Shipeng, No. 8 Zhu Fangyu, No. 9 Sun Yue, No. 10 Li Nan, No. 11 Yi Jianlian, No. 12 Wang Lei, No. 13 Yao Ming, No. 14 Wang Zhizhi, No. 15 Du Feng.

At the same time, under this announcement, there is also a penalty notice.

Ma Dahan was removed from the national team for repeatedly violating team discipline and will never be admitted.

It's a pity that not many people noticed this news, and the fans who saw the list had already cheered for joy.

"This year's Basketball Association has the guts to let the late part-time coach, and it seems to be the first assistant coach?"

"Hehe, this is not the first assistant coach. I think Jonas is just a head coach, right?"

"Anyway, I support late. He can lead the Warriors to the championship both as a player and as a head coach. I believe that under his leadership, the Chinese team will definitely achieve good results."

After determining the team's final roster, the national team began intensive training.

Under the request of being late, Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi had significantly less training than the others, so that they could better recover their physical strength.

He asked the players to strengthen their physical training and achieved the goal. The physical fitness of the players who strictly followed his training plan has improved significantly. With one week left before the Olympic Games, the strict physical training is over. Even the training volume It has also decreased, and everyone has to reserve physical fitness for the next game.

The focus of the team's training has become technical and tactical discussions, studying the characteristics of each opponent.

This year's Olympic group list has also come out. The Chinese team's group is considered a death group, but it is not without vitality.

The Chinese team was divided into Group B, which included Angola, the African powerhouse, Spain, the champion of the 06 World Championships, the American Dream Eight team played by many top NBA stars, Germany, the runner-up of the European Championship in 05, and Greece, the champion of the European Championship in 05.

None of the opponents are easy to deal with. Angola is considered to be the weakest team, and it is also the one that the Chinese team is most sure of beating.

Several other opponents are very strong, any team is not the Chinese team can easily win.

Among them, the Chinese team will face the American Dream Eight on August 8. This game will not be too stressful for the Chinese team.

Because the whole world knows how strong this year's Mengba is, the fans have long reached a consensus that losing less is winning, and it is enough to play with style.

Jonas' advice to strategically abandon the match and focus on other opponents was generally accepted.

But being late is ambitious, and he doesn't quite agree with Yunus' idea.

In fact, this year's US team is strong, but it is not without weaknesses.

Their biggest problem is the inside line!
They actually brought only three inside players, Howard, Bosh and Boozer!Anthony sometimes has to go up and play center.

This is simply telling the world clearly that they just want to sweep the world with ultra-luxury outside stars.

Not to mention the Chinese insider with the world's top configuration, even the Argentine insider has a clear advantage when facing the US team.

In the recent Copa America, Luis Scola taught the American team a hard lesson with his excellent footwork at the basket.

To put it bluntly, these inside players of the US team are all more famous than their strength-after all, the NBA is the highest basketball hall in the world, and naturally has a high degree of attention. In addition, the league will definitely deliberately tout certain players for the sake of ratings.For example, Howard is like this. He is obviously a blue-collar, relying on his physical fitness to score points, but he was abruptly blown by the league into a super center who can challenge Yao Ming.

But the US team's outside line is really strong this year.

Paul, Kidd, James, Wade, Anthony, Kobe... A lot of them are the top super players in the NBA, and they have to defend and defend, and they have to shoot and shoot.

Especially James and Wade, after arriving late there to learn from the three-point shooting, these two guys are very difficult to deal with.

James is okay. Although his three-point ability is now good, he still prefers to break through and rely on his physical advantages to play, which greatly limits his strength under FIBA ​​rules.

why?
Because FIBA ​​does not allow four-step layups.

On the contrary, Wade is more difficult to deal with than James. After this guy learns to throw three-pointers, he never tires of it. If the team's strength has not declined this year, and he himself is troubled by the accumulation of water in his knees, he is definitely a strong contender for MVP.

Moreover, his physical confrontation ability is not weak, and he uses the Eurostep more when breaking through. The FIBA ​​rules have little effect on him.

It can only be said that the late appearance made the already strong Mengba team even stronger.

After the group match list came out, at least the players had a clear training goal.

A veteran like Lao Li Feidao is really fighting for his life.

Because of the late joining, the training intensity of the Chinese team has been significantly improved, and it is definitely not at the same level as before.However, after seeing the training volume of Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian and others, Lao Li Feidao knew why he was able to play well in the NBA. That has really widened the gap with domestic players like them.

As the saying goes, knowing the shame and then being brave, since all the "stars" who have played well in the NBA can grit their teeth and train, why shouldn't these old fritters who have "achieved nothing" fight for the honor of the country and their dreams one last time?
It's a pity that not all players think like Lao Li Feidao. There are also some players who have great potential or have been recognized for their strength. It also plays a role in supervised training.

The players trained in a closed environment and had little contact with the outside world until they attended the state banquet before the opening of the Olympic Games.

With Li Ning flying out of the sky and lighting the Olympic torch, the 2008 Olympic Games is destined to become the most topical and unforgettable opening ceremony in history.

On August 8, at the Wukesong Ball Stadium, the much-anticipated China-US match kicked off.

Under the leadership of the old coach K, the US team has missed the world championship for several years in a row, especially the collapse of the World Championships in 06, which made the US basketball lose face.

Those NBA superstars who don't work hard and are "free" in the mouth of chalk can't sit still anymore, and chose to announce their participation in this year's Olympic Games early on.

Therefore, this year's Dream Eight team is truly worthy of the name, and their members are all very powerful super players.

The list includes: No. 4 Carlos Boozer, No. 5 Jason Kidd, No. 6 LeBron James, No. 7 Deron Williams, No. 8 Michael Reid, No. 9 Dwyane - Wade, No. 10 Kobe Bryant, No. 11 Dwight Howard, No. 12 Chris Bosh, No. 13 Chris Paul, No. 14 Tyshawn Prince, No. 15 Carmelo Anthony .

Seeing such a team roster, I believe that randomly picking five players to form the starting lineup is a super competitive team.

Therefore, Chinese fans don't care about winning or losing between the two sides. When the US team played, the cheers on the court were very loud.

Old K learned the lessons of the previous few World Championships, and did not blindly choose superstars, but brought a group of players with strong defensive capabilities, which made their lineup more reasonable.

But the problem with the U.S. team is that the inside line is too weak—speaking of which, the current NBA is really withered centers. The only few good centers are all international players, and they have nothing to do with American players.

The benefits of the first game against the US team are also obvious, the players are not under much pressure.

It's a pity that playing an important game like the Olympics at home still puts a lot of pressure on Chinese players.

Yao Ming failed to jump the ball, and the U.S. team directly organized an offensive. Kobe broke through Sun Yue with the ball and easily completed a mid-range jumper to score.

I didn't want to admit defeat when I was late. The opening game was super aggressive, and I showed the Chinese fans what is called full-court guidance directly at the door of the house.

He received the baseline ball from Zhu Fangyu and threw it directly in the second half.

Seeing the late goal, the American players behaved fairly calmly.

After all, he played late in the NBA for several seasons, and it is not uncommon to occasionally throw a three-pointer in the second half.

The Chinese fans at the scene had never seen such a performance with their own eyes, and they cheered continuously.

It's a pity that the US team is full of stars, and it's not something that one person can deal with late.

The other players of the Chinese team were obviously a little nervous, probably because they were too afraid of the strong strength of the US team, and they simply did not show their usual training state.

Even Yao Ming was affected. He didn't take advantage of Howard on the first attack.

You must know that this is the FIBA ​​rules. Yao Ming has played under the FIBA ​​rules since he was a child. In terms of adaptability, he is obviously stronger than Howard.

The U.S. team has a very fast attacking pace, bullying Yao Ming’s lack of athletic ability inside, and making crazy three-point shots when he was late. Under his leadership, the Chinese team clung to the score in the first two quarters.

In the third quarter, the U.S. team stepped up its offensive. Wade and Kobe increased the number of outside shots to compete with the Chinese team for three-pointers.

Now that Wade has practiced three-pointers, I won’t mention it. Kobe’s three-pointers in the NBA are not qualified, but under the FIBA ​​rules, Kobe’s three-pointers have improved qualitatively.

Today the US team felt hot, hitting three-pointers frequently.

Several NBA players on the Chinese team adjusted quickly, but the other players were still a little bit tied, which caused them to feel cold. In the end, they were late and saw the point difference widened, so they chose to let Yao Ming rest.
