Chapter 673 The Lively Dream Team and Monsters Are Here Again!
"It's fun to be back on Team USA again, really, really fun!"
"I know what this decision means to me, and I know what this decision means to you. This is a difficult decision, and maybe it's the hardest road for me."
"But it's really hard for me to resist the temptation to defeat Yes and to be the enemy of Yao. For this reason, I am willing to make such a difficult decision and take an extremely difficult road."
"Of course, I would like to thank Coach K for his trust in me. He is a good man, a very, very good man. He gives me the highest respect and respect. I hope my performance will not disappoint him. I hope my performance can make you feel that he is not one of my grandmothers."
After the list of the American Dream Team was determined, O'Neal, who rejoined the Dream Team, became the focus of the world.
When facing the media, he was confident, calm and funny, and faced the pursuit of the media. In this regard, James and Kobe are the younger brothers among the younger brothers.
In the press conference where O'Neal announced his return to Team USA, he successfully used his position to make an inhumane complaint against LeBron James, the hottest NBA player recently.
Even Coach K, who has had a very difficult time in the NCAA recently, has not escaped his clutches.
In the past, Coach K was known as the No. 1 coach in the NCAA, but after Lorenzo Romar appeared, Coach K's status plummeted.
"Coach K's reputation is built on his plunder of excellent player resources. He has plundered too many high-quality players and wasted too many high-quality players. His achievements are not only useful to himself, but also have no benefit to the entire sport of basketball. He is using other people's nutrients to nourish himself. He is the LeBron James of the NCAA!"
"Coach Romar is different in this regard. He has a bunch of the worst players in his hands. His players are not talented. Except for Yes, even Roy was just a second-round prospect at the beginning, and Curry was even a player destined to have no NBA prospects. But in his hands, they have achieved achievements far beyond their potential. Moreover, Coach Romar is different from other training coaches. Coach Romar can also bring victory and championships!"
"In front of Coach Romar, Coach K is a bunch of beeping, the Grandma O'Neal of the NCAA coaching world!"
As for O'Neal's remarks at the press conference when he joined the Dream Team, if it were someone else, James and Coach K would immediately get angry. This is too vicious!
But this person is none other than O'Neal, which makes people feel helpless.
No matter how dissatisfied he is, he can only hold it in!
In fact, for Coach K, he can still accept it.
O'Neal's grandmother...
Since he has been called for so long, it doesn't seem to matter if O'Neal calls again.
For James, he was really a little angry about O'Neal's remarks.
O'Neal was madly mocking his decision, the most difficult road.
If Kobe and he had a good relationship, James could even imagine that O'Neal would definitely say: "Here are my brothers, I am willing to leave my hometown, the United States of America, for my brother's basketball!"
James now understands it. Last season, he competed with O'Neal in the Cavaliers, and now he knows O'Neal. He completely understands that O'Neal is a person with no bottom line!
I have to say that James's premonition is still very accurate.
"Did you see that Wade is my buddy and my brother?
I am willing to play basketball with my brother in faraway China and leave my hometown in America!"
James, who was preparing to board the plane, heard O'Neal's words being interviewed by the team reporter behind him, and almost fell on the spot.
Wade, who was next to James, was also very embarrassed.
When the team reporters heard O'Neal's words, their expressions were also different. The coconut powder media of course laughed loudly, while the coconut black media were very angry.
Since James' decision came out, the NBA media has fallen into extreme chaos.
After the appearance of the invincible team of the Cavaliers' Big Five, the coconut black media really united under the Heat and James, and their fighting power was amazing.
Although the coconut powder media is a little weak now, the opponent is too strong, and they don't speak so hard, but when it comes to complaining about James, it will definitely not be soft. For a time, the media and experts on both sides of the United States were almost in a melee every day.
Even at the meeting of the three newcomers of the Supersonics some time ago, these American media sprayed each other on the spot.
In the Dream Team, there is certainly no shortage of such drama.
In the clash between the Coconut Black and Coconut Powder Media in the Dream Team, James is definitely the most embarrassed.
Coconut Black Media: Beat Yes next season!
Coconut Powder Media: I black James!
Coconut Black Media: The league will enter a new era next season!
Coconut Powder Media: I black James!
Coconut Black Media: The new king of NBA history will ascend the throne next season!
Coconut Powder Media: I black James!
Coconut Black Media: ...
James: ...
For such a battle between the Coconut Powder and Coconut Black Media, James is really speechless and is definitely the biggest victim.
Anyway, Yes is not here. No matter how harsh the Coconut Black Media say, Yes doesn't know. But he is here!
And after O'Neal joined the team, this guy did it on purpose!
"Of course he did it on purpose!"
Watching O'Neal attack James with the rhythm of the Coconut Powder Media, Kobe saw it and laughed in his heart.
This fat guy is more insidious than before.
However, he is also happy to watch the show.
Kobe is watching the show, and James really can't help it. If O'Neal's status is not too high and his status has not been established, he really wants to say the same sentence as his idol Jordan: Either he or I, either I or him!
Of course, James doesn't dare and has no right to say such words now, and he can't quit the Dream Team. He also wants to taste the taste of defeating Yes in the Dream Team first!
It may be incredible to say it out loud. In his career, he has not defeated Yes yet!
He is preparing to start his career in the Olympics in the Dream Team!
In order to be able to eat meat, let O'Neal make a mess of it.
I will endure, I will endure, I will endure again!
The American Dream Team is very lively, but the Chinese national team is not so lively.
In fact, it is not that it is not lively. After the Stankovic Cup, the Chinese media imitated Japan and gave the Chinese national team the title of "Chinese Dream Team" based on the performance of the Chinese national team in these three games.
This title made all domestic fans climax, and they are looking forward to a real and fake dream team contest with the American team!
Because of the existence of Yes and Yao Ming, plus Yi Jianlian and Sun Yue, two All-Star starters, Chinese fans are really a little inflated now.
Yes and Yao Ming are both regular season MVPs. How many regular season MVPs does the Dream Team have?
Only one!
Among the 12 players of the Dream Team, O'Neal is the regular season MVP, and he joined later!
Judging from the number of MVPs, why can't they be inflated?
Haven't you seen how much Europeans are chasing Yes?
Can the American Dream Team get such a pursuit?
After Yes returned to the team and the national team formed the strongest team in history to slaughter the European and African champions, the fans' expansion is understandable.
However, if the Chinese team wants to meet the American team, they have to wait until the knockout round.
The 12 Olympic teams were all divided on July 22.
The Chinese team was divided into Group A, which includes China, Spain, Germany, Angola, Argentina, and Greece.
This is a death group!
The teams in Group B are led by the American team, and there are also Australia, Iran, Lithuania, Russia, and Croatia.
Compared with Group A, the overall strength of Group B is obviously a level lower.
Yes and the players of the Chinese team learned from internal information that this draw was led by the International Basketball Federation, not the Capital Olympic Committee.
Originally, the draw for this year's Olympic basketball was drawn two months ago. It was a draw led by the Olympic Committee, but it was rejected by the International Basketball Federation.
Obviously, the International Basketball Federation wants to achieve something at this year's Olympics.
"Only if you can break through the strongest teams can you challenge the strongest American team."
"FIBA treats us, Spain, Germany and Argentina as breeding insects."
After the draw, Yes agreed with Yao Ming's analysis.
From the fact that the Diamond Cup organized by FIBA has been slapped by the American team for not participating, it can be seen that FIBA really doesn't want the North American team to slap them in the face, and really wants to end the dream of the Dream Team.
Just like the International Table Tennis Association tried every means to organize the Chinese team.
This time, FIBA really took great pains.
Although China, Spain, Germany and Argentina fought fiercely in the group stage, Greece and Angola would definitely not be able to beat these four teams.
All four teams will surely qualify from the group, and then the American team in another group will play against one of these four teams in the first round of the knockout round.
It is very likely that it will still be one of these four teams in the second round, and in the finals, it will still be one of these four teams!
The four teams have shown their status in the group stage, and the opponents in the knockout stage, except for the United States, have all become weaker, so the four teams can use the knockout stage to recuperate.
As for the United States, they won all the games in the group stage and advanced to the knockout stage. Maybe in the first round, they will be hit hard by one of the four teams in Group A.
After Yao Ming pointed out the intention of FIBA, the players of the Chinese national team felt a sense of sympathy.
"People who play these things have really dirty hearts!"
Becoming a tool for FIBA to attack the Dream Team is a crisis and an opportunity for the Chinese national team.
As long as they can avoid being ranked fourth in the group stage, then it is an opportunity.
And if they can grab the first place in the group, then... it is the best opportunity!
At noon on July 29, 2008, Yes brought the Chinese men's basketball national team from Xihu City to Jinling City. After arriving in Jinling City, the national team led by Yes and Yao Ming received the highest standard of welcome from Jinling fans!
Now the Chinese men's basketball national team has become the business card of the Chinese delegation in this year's local Olympic Games. People all over the country are watching the Chinese men's basketball national team.
Even the whole world is watching!
It has to be said that basketball is one of the most watched events in the Olympics, especially men's basketball.
"Am I dazzled? I feel like Yes has lost weight again?"
"No, didn't CCTV report it? Yes has been losing weight for athletics recently."
"Three months ago, he gained weight for the NBA playoffs, and now he's losing weight for athletics. Yes is really too hard-working. Yes has paid too much."
Yes reported to the national team on July 17th. Now it's July 29th. In just 12 days, almost two weeks, Yes's weight has dropped from 94 kg to 90 kg.
This speed of weight loss makes Yes feel the speed he had in the United States, even faster than in the United States, because now he is not training alone, he also has confrontational training with teammates and competitions with opponents, which will increase consumption.
1.95 meters, 90 kilograms, this is actually quite thin. The standard weight of NBA players is 1.90 meters tall for a height of 90 kilograms.
1.95 meters, 90 kilograms, this is thin, but not weightless.
When Yes was 1.93 meters tall, the weight loss was 85 kilograms.
Now he is 1.95 meters tall, and his weight loss weight is 86 kilograms.
Yesi still needs to lose about 4 kilograms to achieve the weightless state.
It is now July 29th, and there are still 10 days before the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games on August 8th. It is impossible to lose 4 kilograms in 10 days.
Fortunately, the preliminaries and quarterfinals of the 100-meter race in track and field are on August 15th.
August 15th is 17 days away from now to reduce the weight by 4 kilograms, which is possible.
Yesi and the Chinese national team are now the most watched stars in the whole country.
The Diamond Cup is also the last warm-up opportunity for the Chinese men's basketball team before the Olympics.
In this Diamond Cup, the gold content of the game is different from the previous Stankovic Cup.
The six participating teams in this Diamond Cup are the host China, Asian runner-up Iran, African champion Angola, European representative team Serbia, Oceania champion Australia, and American runner-up Argentina.
Iran and Angola are weak teams, and Serbia's second team is the weakest of the weak teams, but Australia and Argentina have all their main players in the Diamond Cup!
In the Diamond Cup, China, Australia and Angola are in Group A, and Argentina, Serbia and Iran are in Group B.
The Diamond Cup competition system is that the first team in the group competes for the championship, the second team in the group competes for the third place, and the third team in the group competes for the fifth place.
For the American and European teams, the Diamond Cup is an insignificant trophy, but for China, Australia and Argentina, the Diamond Cup is a very important trophy.
The Olympics, the World Championships and the Diamond Cup are the three major cups of the International Basketball Federation!
It is not easy to have strong American and European teams stationed in the Olympics and the World Championships.
"Argentina has already won the Olympics and the World Championships. This year's Diamond Cup, we want to become the first three major cups Grand Slam team in basketball history!"
"If the Diamond Cup is cancelled in the future, our Argentina will be the only Grand Slam team in basketball history!"
"There is no American or European champion in this year's Diamond Cup, and our hope is great!"
Listening to the expectant voices of his teammates, Ginobili sighed secretly.
Yes...
A nightmare-like name...
"Master, where are you? The monster is coming again..."
Ginobili didn't understand what the lines on TV were, but he wanted to cry along with them...
