Chapter 699: The Embarrassing Dream Team and the Powerful Lithuania
In the match between the Dream Team and the Spanish team, the Spanish team was ready to surrender in the fourth quarter, but the Dream Team refused to allow it. Spain had already replaced its main players, but the Dream Team still had all its main players on the court, which made the Spanish team very annoyed.
In the end, Spain did not even play its main players, and watched the Dream Team's starting main players beat up the Spanish substitutes, and finally the score difference between the two sides was widened to 30 points.
"Is this the second time Spain lost a game by more than 30 points in this Olympics? Yes, it was a bad night, a very, very bad night, the worst night, worse than the night they lost to the Chinese team? Of course! I always think that Spain is not a perfect team. We will lose, and we can accept losing. Losing to great players like Yes, Yao and great teams like the Chinese team is not our shame, but our pride. But unfortunately, not all the strongest winners in the world have the same qualities as Yes and the Chinese team."
"What am I hinting at? You know, my players and I are good people. We are not that mean. We are not hinting at it, we are pointing out that the American team disappointed us and the whole world. We know very well what they want to do, but, man, we all know that the Dream Team is not far away from us. The reason why they are so difficult to surpass is not just that they win their opponents by more than 30 points in every game. The respectable temperament in them is something that this American team will never have!"
After the game between the American team and Spain ended, the Spanish head coach directly sprayed after the game.
This is already a direct accusation of the American team's lack of professionalism.
Even many American reporters at the scene were embarrassed to hear him say this.
The opponent surrendered, but you didn't want to let the opponent surrender because you didn't achieve the goal of the game.
The opponent still didn't replace the main players, watching you abuse your substitutes. If you can abuse the opponent's substitutes, it's okay, but in the end, you can only abuse the opponent's substitutes to 30 points, which is a bit embarrassing and extremely embarrassing.
"Spain is very strong. In our opinion, Spain is very strong. There is no difference between the main players and substitutes..."
Coach K was also quite embarrassed in the end.
Facing the special eyes of a bunch of reporters under the stage, he was really embarrassed in this game, which was more embarrassing than the previous game between the German team and Nowitzki.
He worked so hard that he was a little shameless, but he still didn't get more victory points from Spain than China.
This is really embarrassing.
It was so embarrassing that after the game, the whole team didn't look happy.
In the contemptuous eyes of the Spanish players, he felt a little embarrassed.
I have to say that the Spanish team is really strong!
They really tried their best in this game, but they just couldn't beat the main players of Spain. In the end, they had no choice but to do such a shameful thing.
After the game with Spain, Coach K is now thinking about one thing in his mind, that is, how did Yes manage to beat Spain alone!
This is really magical. Kobe, Wade, Billups, and the four guards didn't beat the Spanish guards, but Yes did it alone!
As the head coach of the Dream Team, Coach K couldn't escape such a humiliating victory. He had to attend the press conference after the game.
But the players of the Dream Team didn't need to come out.
Although they didn't go out to accept the ridicule and eyes of those reporters, in the locker room,
the expressions on the faces of the players of the Dream Team are a little uncomfortable.
"This is the most embarrassing game in the history of the Dream Team!"
This is what the American team's team reporter said to them immediately after the game.
It was quite direct, so direct that they had no reason to refute.
"Guys, we played a bad game. The little mouse is not that small, but this can't make us depressed."
The current atmosphere of the Dream Team makes O'Neal quite uncomfortable.
As the self-proclaimed leader of the Dream Team, O'Neal feels that he needs to stand up and say something at this time.
In this Dream Team, O'Neal can feel the embarrassment of his status.
He is the person with the highest status in the Dream Team, this is beyond doubt.
But at a glance, no one in the entire Dream Team has a good enough relationship with him, or in other words, he has no younger brothers at all.
Among the 12 people in the Dream Team, James, Wade, Anthony, Bosh, Billups, and Prince are the biggest forces. James, Wade and Bosh are teammates, Anthony and James are brothers, Billups and Anthony are teammates, and Prince is Billups' younger brother in the Pistons. This is pulling out a carrot and bringing out a lot of mud.
And what about the second largest force in the Dream Team? There is no doubt that it is Kobe and Kidd, just two people, but these two people are enough, and these two people are also not very compatible with him, it should be said that they are quite incompatible.
The rest of him, Howard, Boozer and Rose are all casual players of the Dream Team.
He and Howard had a fight to compete for the All-Star starting position.
As for Boozer and Rose...
These two have no influence on the Dream Team at all, and are completely negligible and transparent.
It can be said that in this dream team, the people in the team are either his enemies or his enemies' friends.
It is not so easy for him to leave his mark on this dream team, and no one listens to him.
This is very uncomfortable, but now, O'Neal seems to have found a way in.
The dream team was upset by the unexpectedly powerful Spain. James and Kobe, the two leaders of the dream team, were a little ashamed to speak up.
These two people have a sense of shame and think that this game was too embarrassing. Isn't it just right?
He didn't feel embarrassed!
These two people didn't speak at this time, but he spoke!
When this dream team beat the Chinese team and Yes to the top in the Olympics, the documentary can show the scene of his great Shaq inspiring the morale of the dream team.
Then even if there is no one who listens to him in this dream team, even if there is no one of his little brothers, he can become the leader of the dream team because of this speech, and his mark will be engraved on this dream team!
How great is this!
Although it is not very good to say this.
However, the US team was beaten so badly by Spain this time, so it really gave him a chance!
O'Neal's presence in the Dream Team this time was all due to slandering James.
O'Neal basically had no presence in this Dream Team except for taking advantage of his seniority and slandering James.
Seeing O'Neal standing up as a leader at this time, Kobe came back to his senses from the unhappiness of this game and squinted at the fat guy who was very performative at this time.
"Guys, for us, the match with Spain is a shame, but guys, don't forget our real purpose!"
"Because the Chinese team beat Spain by 31 points, we want to win a higher score. This is just an indirect way for us to prove that we are better than the Chinese team. What does it matter if this indirect method fails? Can it directly prove that we are not as good as the Chinese team?"
"Guys, are you too naive? It's just a mere Spain!"
"As long as we can beat the Chinese team head-on and beat Yes head-on with a big score, we can get back all the honors we lost in these two games!"
"As long as we can beat China and Yes, I can assure you that the world will no longer discuss these two games. The whole world will discuss the 58-point victory of the US team over the Chinese team!"
58 points over the Chinese team? !
This fat guy is really good at talking!
However...
I have to say that this fat guy is really good at speaking.
"LeBron, Dwyane, Cameron, do you want to beat Yes by 58 points?!"
James' face was very ugly. He didn't like to see the place he ruled being taken over by this fat guy.
But...
"I want to!"
Wade next to him had accepted O'Neal's encouragement on his behalf. Turning his head and looking at Wade's excited expression at this time, James was stunned.
Aren't you acknowledging that this fat guy can inspire and lead us?
Wade really didn't think so much at this time.
He only had one idea now, as long as he could beat Yes by 58, Chris would forgive Chandler's matter, and the four of them could continue to be brothers again!
"Tayshawn, Chauncey, do you want Yes to score less than 20 points in a game?!"
Billups and Prince looked at each other and nodded in the same way.
"I want to!"
Looking at Billups and Prince's excited expressions, O'Neal was very satisfied.
"In the next game, we can get everything, and each of you can get what you want from Yes!"
"At that time, we will be the protagonists of this world, replacing Yes, replacing Phelps as the real protagonist!"
This fat guy is so resourceful!
He did not get the recognition of the James group, but used two illusory goals to shape himself into a leader who was loyal to the James group.
Based on what happened now, who would have thought that this fat guy might be the most disliked person by the James team?
But this fat guy successfully packaged himself as the leader of the James team with two goals.
Wade and Billups did not agree with this fat guy, but the two goals that this fat guy said!
Score Yes 58 points, and limit Yes's score to 20 points!
These two goals...
Don't say that Wade and Billups are full of interest now.
Even he is also full of interest now!
It has to be said that this fat guy really knows how to play.
At this time, Kobe and O'Neal almost simultaneously glanced at the camera reporter next to them.
The only difference is that the expression on Kobe's face is indeed the same.
And O'Neal, of course, is pleased with himself.
Under O'Neal's "encouragement", the Dream Team, which was disgusted by the German and Spanish teams, regained its morale again, and it was an unprecedented morale.
As for what is happening to the Dream Team now, Yes naturally doesn't know.
On August 22, 2008, at 22:15, the Wukesong Sports Center in Beijing was once again full.
The match between the Chinese team and Lithuania was a match that the whole country was paying attention to.
As long as they beat Lithuania, the Chinese team can achieve the historic breakthrough of the first men's three major balls entering the Olympic finals.
So, although this game started at 22:15 in the evening, the scene was already full of Chinese celebrities from all walks of life.
The tickets for this game have even been hyped up to a level that is more expensive than the opening ceremony tickets of the Olympics.
For Chinese audiences, the Chinese team is invincible at this time, at least before they meet the Dream Team.
Although Lithuania is very strong, it is definitely not as strong as the Chinese team.
But Zhang Heli and Su Qun, the two Chinese commentators sitting in the commentary booth, are sweating in their palms.
The game hasn't started yet, and the two are already sweating in their palms.
They are professionals, and only professionals like them know what Lithuania means to Chinese basketball, and only professionals like them know how powerful Lithuania is!
"The starting lineup of the Chinese team in this game is still center Yao Ming, power forward Yi Jianlian, small forward Zhou Peng, shooting guard Yes, and point guard Sun Yue."
"On the Lithuanian side, the center is Robertas Jaftokas, the MVP of the 2005 European Championships, with excellent physical talent and amazing jumping ability. He has successfully completed a dunk on a 3.6-meter basket. He is a top European center with a height of 2.11 meters and one of the four great inside players in Lithuania!"
"Lithuania's starting power forward is Ksistov Lavrinovich of the Lavrinovich brothers. He is 2.10 meters tall, has excellent confrontation, strong defense, and also has excellent mid-range and long-range offensive capabilities. He is a top European power forward and one of the four great players in Lithuania!"
"Lithuania's starting small forward is Ramnas Siskauskas, the No. 1 small forward in Europe and the new European Champions League champion, MVP, famous champion and MVP winner of the European Basketball League! "
Teacher Zhang Heli was very excited when introducing Siskauskas, and a lot of praise came out of his mouth, and Su Qun on the side could understand Teacher Zhang Heli's excitement.
This man is indeed quite powerful. In Europe, he was first called the 'European Pippen', but in the end everyone found that no 'Jordan' in Europe could match or suppress him, the European 'Pippen'.
"If he is Pippen, who can be Jordan in Europe?"
This is Europe's evaluation of him.
"Lithuania's starting shooting guard is Rimantas Koknas, the Italian League MVP, one of the most comprehensive guards in Europe!"
"Lithuania's starting point guard, Lithuania's leading player, Dream Team killer, Sarunas Jaskevicius, one of the best guards in European history!"
After Teacher Zhang Heli excitedly introduced the Lithuanian players, the Chinese audience in front of the TV really felt that this was a cosmic team.
"Almost every position is one of the strongest in Europe, is Lithuania really that strong?"
Many viewers who don't know much about European basketball will have such questions.
If he could hear these people's questions, Mr. Zhang Heli would definitely shout wildly.
"Of course Lithuania is strong!"
"Double-team Yes, defend Yao Ming!"
"This is Greece's strategy. If Yi Jianlian can't stand out after Yes and Yao Ming in this game, the Chinese team will have a hard time!"
Of course, this is what Mr. Zhang Heli thinks in his heart, and no one can hear it.
