Chapter 677: Chinese Team? Dream Team?!
"The entrance ceremony song of the Capital Olympics is a classic piece of music from each continent that is played in turn based on the different customs and cultures of the five continents. What is being played now is my country's classic song Jasmine, and in this familiar song, it is coming to us. It is the host Chinese delegation. In this Olympics, the Chinese sports delegation has a total of 1,100 people, including 640 contestants. Both the number of delegations and the number of contestants are the highest ever in China's participation in the Olympic Games. "
"In the next sixteen days, athletes representing China will compete with more than 10,000 athletes from all over the world in the capital under the illumination of the five-ring flag!"
"The Chinese athletes who entered the arena were all full of vigor and energy, smiling and waving to the audience from time to time. The audience also responded to their favorite athletes with the warmest applause and cheers!"
"Walking at the front of the Chinese athletes, the flag bearer of the Chinese team holding the Chinese flag high is the famous Chinese basketball player, NBA champion, and world-renowned sports superstar Ye Si."
"In the past year, Ye Si, in the NBA and the Seattle SuperSonics, carried forward the spirit of Chinese athletes who work hard and are not afraid of hardships and obstacles. He led the Seattle SuperSonics to win the NBA championship in history, and also won the FIBA championship in the past year. In the United Diamond Cup, Ye Si led the Chinese men’s basketball team composed of Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian, Wang Zhizhi, Sun Yue and other players to achieve a historic breakthrough and win the first world championship in the history of Chinese basketball.”
"After Ye Si became the captain, the Chinese men's basketball team has won the respect of the world for its perseverance and unyielding spirit in the face of powerful opponents. And now, in the auditorium, Chinese and foreign audiences are bursting into applause and cheering. , the shouts of “Come on China” and “Come on Ye Si” resounded over the Bird’s Nest!”
"This time, Chinese athletes represented by Ye Si will compete in all 28 major events and 302 minor events. Among them, Ye Si will personally participate in three major events and ten minor events such as basketball, track and field, and marathon. ”
"I hereby wish that Ye Si and the Chinese athletes can continue to work hard and achieve great results in this capital Olympics, and leave their footprints in the history of Chinese sports and China forever!"
August 8, 2008, 23:09 pm, Beijing, Bird's Nest.
There was a roar of people, colorful flags flying, and the whole world seemed to be plunged into an incredible atmosphere of fanaticism and madness.
When that familiar figure slowly emerged from the darkness into the world's view, Tang Xiaoyao and Ye's father and mother in the Bird's Nest stands stood up in excitement.
After that familiar figure appeared, everyone was shouting for him, everyone was crazy for him!
Even Lin Qiuyi, who had always been cold and cold, stood there with twinkling eyes at this time.
"I want to be a superstar!"
"I want to be a unique and unique superstar!"
The strange kid who was once naive and determined is no longer naive, but the determination on his face is still familiar.
A superstar, an unparalleled and unique superstar!
Now, have you finally done it?
Holding the national flag high and leading everyone in the eyes of the people across the country is a very, very special feeling.
The uncontrollable excitement and unimaginable madness seemed to burst out at any time.
But at this time, there was still no one on Ye Si's face who could see what he was thinking.
Resolute, upright and as cool as ever!
Such a posture, such a look, such a temperament, even Yao Ming walking beside him was impressed by it.
Yao Ming was the Olympic flag bearer.
He clearly knows how much strength and courage it takes to bear the flag held high in front of the whole world.
Even he, a little giant known as the Moving Great Wall, felt overwhelmed the first time he shouldered this weight.
And what about little leaves?
His body contains seemingly endless power.
Such power seems to be able to withstand all expectations, all pressure, all applause, all flowers, and the glory together!
Giving up the position of flag bearer and captain of the Chinese national team to Xiao Yezi may be one of the most correct things I have done in my life!
When Ye Si appeared with the Chinese delegation, it was obvious that the tired bodies of the foreign guests in the stands seemed to have been injected with vitality.
This year's Capital Olympics is the largest in Olympic history.
And in this biggest Olympics, Ye Si is definitely the biggest star.
It is also the center of attention.
Even many heads of state took the initiative to talk about Ye Si with the host leaders accompanying them and told their admiration for Ye Si the moment he appeared.
The big leaders who heard this were secretly amazed.
"Xiaoye is the country's hero!"
This is the highest evaluation of the greatest leader.
Of course, Ye Si didn't know everything that happened at the concierge desk. Taking the Chinese delegation in a circle like this was more tiring than him using all his endurance to sprint 60 meters in the 100-mile race. It was more tiring than him taking the supersonic speed in the 100-mile race. Even after six fierce games with the Rockets in the NBA playoffs, I was still tired.
But no matter how tired his body was, Ye Si knew very well that he could not let anyone see his fatigue.
The strength and vitality he is showing now are not his own!
If it weren't for the torture of more than 3,000 NBA finals, Yes believed that he would never have such a strong mental strength to do all this.
"The 29th Olympic Games in the capital opens!"
With the powerful speech of the top leader, the opening ceremony of the 2008 Capital Olympic Games officially ended.
Although the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games has ended, the impact it has brought to the world has just begun.
The day after the opening ceremony of the Capital Olympic Games, the Olympic gymnastics, judo, swimming and other events have been fully launched.
But the world is still discussing the shock brought by the opening ceremony of the Capital Olympic Games, the incredible art performances, and the backs of the strong Chinese athletes led by Yes, which are things that can be discussed for a long time.
However, these things are discussed for the audience.
For Yes and his national team teammates, after the opening ceremony of the Olympics, they will prepare for the Olympic Games.
Yes's task in the Olympics is very heavy. He has to participate in ten events.
But the track and field events will have to wait until August 15th, and he can still concentrate on basketball and losing weight before August 15th.
The first game of the Chinese team in the Olympics is the match against Argentina on August 10th.
Argentina and China are old rivals. In the Diamond Cup a week ago, China just defeated Argentina.
If it were in the past, when the Chinese team faced a strong team like Argentina, the whole team would definitely be very nervous.
Ginobili and Scola of Argentina are the most difficult types for the Chinese team to deal with.
But since Yes appeared, everything has changed.
On August 10th, before the match between China and Argentina started, in the locker room of the Chinese team, head coach Jonas and his assistants did not see any panic or uneasiness on their faces.
Not only the coaches of the Chinese team, but also the young players of the team like Zhou Peng and Ding Jinhui, now have quite relaxed expressions on their faces.
They were indeed nervous before the Diamond Cup match with Argentina.
But now...
"We have Brother Ye next to us, so we are not afraid of eggs!"
"Also, we are now world champions!"
Yes rarely participates in the national team's training camp.
Although he led the national team's second team to participate in the Asian Championships last year and the national team's third team to participate in the Universiade, the lineup was completely different from the current national team's lineup.
It can be said that he is not so familiar with other players in the national team.
Although his prestige in the national team is definitely very strong because of his performance in the NBA, coupled with the crazy support of Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian and Sun Yue.
But it still needs integration.
Three Stankovic Cups and three Diamond Cups finally made the integration of Yes and the national team have a chemical reaction.
As the head coach, Jonas is of course very satisfied with the national team that has now developed a chemical reaction.
Yes, an NBA champion, regular season MVP, finals MVP, and a guy who led the weakest team in history to go against the sky in the NBA is the most perfect leader in his mind!
When Yes returned to the team, he once asked the Seattle Supersonics head coach Nelson about how to use Yes.
"Leave everything to Yes, he will bring everything to you."
This is Nelson's advice to him.
Nelson is one of the greatest head coaches in the NBA now, and he certainly takes his words very seriously.
Old Nelson was conveying his trust in Yes to him, and Jonas understood this!
It was the first game of the Olympics, and the Chinese team was very relaxed. On the contrary, Argentina was on edge.
In the Diamond Cup a week ago, Argentina played with all its main players in order to achieve the first Olympic Games, World Championships, and Diamond Cup Grand Slam in basketball history.
Now, the Diamond Cup, the most rubbish world championship, was not won, but was beaten by Yes and lost confidence.
This made Argentina's head coach Sergio Fernandez very uncomfortable.
Before the Diamond Cup, although he did not despise the Chinese team, he really felt that Argentina's strength was above China. The whole world was bragging about the strength of Yes and Yao Ming, the two NBA MVPs. How strong could they be as strong as the American Dream Team?
Dream Team V, Dream Team VI, Dream Team VII, Dream Team V and Dream Team VI were defeated by Argentina, and that was his Argentina, which was mainly composed of Argentine players!
His Argentina was successful in the World Championships and the Olympics.
As long as they haven't succeeded in the World Championships or the Olympics, no matter how much they brag, it's just bragging.
This was his thought before the Diamond Cup. After the Diamond Cup...
The Chinese team is really strong!
This is really strong!
Fernandez feels that even facing the Dream Team is better than facing the Chinese team.
After the Diamond Cup, he finally understood why Yao Ming is Scola's big brother in the Rockets, and why Yes abused Ginobili so badly in the NBA.
His Argentina really has no power to fight back in front of the Chinese team.
The Chinese team really abused them as much as they wanted, without repeating at all.
Looking at Manu's desperate and empty eyes, Fernandez felt a burst of heartache.
Manu is not a coward, he is a warrior, a real warrior!
But such a warrior, who would not show such eyes when facing Kobe, Iverson, Carter and McGrady, now actually showed such eyes!
From this, you can imagine how painful it is for Manu to face Yes in the past two years
Manu said that the Spurs' head coach Popovich has been pushing for a trade of Parker or Ginobili.
The Spurs' performance against the Supersonics in the past two years made the whole world feel that Parker and Ginobili were wasting Bowen's last few years of youth.
Even...
Based on the Spurs' performance last season, Duncan was wasting Bowen's youth!
Sigh!
When Argentina walked onto the court, they sighed.
And when they came off the court, they also sighed deeply.
118 to 80!
Facing the Chinese team that attacked fiercely at home amid the cheers of all the Chinese fans, Argentina really had no way out.
To be precise, facing Yes's constant breakthroughs, constant jumps, constant jump passes and constant jump shots, the Argentine team really couldn't find any solution.
In this game, Yes shot 20 times, 16 of 20 shots, scored 44 points and sent 16 assists!
More importantly, the fourth quarter of this game was garbage time!
If it wasn't garbage time, the score would not be like this!
"Argentina's players are too short and too slow!"
"They simply can't stop Yes's breakthroughs, Yes's shots and Yes's jump passes!"
"If he shoots, he goes in, if he doesn't shoot, he passes the ball. Yes's control of the game is too strong!"
Even though he knew that the Chinese team was the nemesis of the Argentine team, watching such a game still made Coach K of the Dream Team terrified.
With Yes, the Chinese team's ability to bully weak teams is too strong!
But the key is that Argentina is not weak!
At least, Argentina is not weak in front of any team except the Chinese team!
Even their Dream Team is embarrassed to say that Argentina is weak!
The Chinese men's basketball team beat the defending Olympic champion Argentina by 38 points in the first game of the Olympics. This was definitely a major event that shocked the entire Olympics.
Don't forget that Samaranch was standing next to this game.
This was a world-focused game.
After all, the Diamond Cup was a small game that the American team looked down upon.
This game really let the world see the current strength of the Chinese team.
When the world was ready to get to know the Chinese team again, on August 12, 2008, the Chinese team played against another world champion, the 2006 World Championship champion Spain.
28 to 20 in the first quarter!
56 to 37 in the half!
80 to 47 in the third quarter!
Spain only scored 47 points in the third quarter!
The game once again entered garbage time in the fourth quarter!
"Is the Chinese team so strong now?!"
Not to mention the whole world, even the head coach of the Chinese team, Jonas, was a little confused when he stood on the sidelines and looked at the confused Spanish players!
"Spain and Argentina, are they still world champions..."
"The last time I saw such a dominant team in the Olympics, that team was..."
"Dream Team 1!"
Chinese team?
Dream Team?
At this time, many people were terrified by their own thoughts!
They actually associated the Chinese team with the Dream Team 1 and the Dream Team!
