Chapter 702: Happy Coach K, Unhappy Howard
Win the semi-finals by 30 points against Lithuania!
And it was a 30-point win without the main players playing as substitutes!
The Chinese men's basketball team strongly defeated Lithuania in the semi-finals of the Olympics and entered the men's basketball finals of the Olympics, which caused a huge shock to the world.
In seven games, each game won by more than 30 points, and each of the seven games was played in garbage time!
In seven games, the opponent had no power to fight back in each game. As long as Yes stood on the court, the Chinese team seemed like a team that only existed in dreams!
"No matter what the result of the game with the US team is, for this year's Olympics, before the final, the Chinese team is the only team that can rival the team that shocked the world 16 years ago!"
"16 years ago, the US team shocked the world with their strong overall strength. The strong overall strength of the Dream Team made other FIBA teams have no courage to fight against it. Now, what shocks people about the Chinese team is Yes. Yes's one-man encirclement makes all FIBA guards tremble with fear!"
"After the Chinese team defeated the Lithuanian team, guards all over the world felt Yes's almost invincible dominance, and teams all over the world felt what this most powerful player in basketball history, as many NBA legends say, should look like!"
The Chinese team defeated Lithuania and entered the Olympic finals. This event had a very big impact on the world, and of course in China.
This is the first time that Chinese basketball has entered the Olympic finals.
This is the first time that China's men's three major balls have entered the Olympic finals.
This is a historic breakthrough.
It is precisely because of this historic breakthrough that on the day the game ended, Yes saw many people crying with joy.
Leaders, team leaders, coaches, and players
If other Chinese people cried because they beat Lithuania and entered the finals.
Then these people in the Chinese team cried because they lifted the heavy mountain on their shoulders.
"Xiao Ye, thank you for today's game, thank you so much!"
After the game, Yao Ming looked very excited, and his face was full of guilt.
In the game against Lithuania, his performance was very bad compared to the previous six games.
Not only him, but all the players of his generation did not perform well.
If it were not for the performance of Yes and the young people in the team, the game against Lithuania might have been stronger and they would have lost.
Confidence!
This is really, really important!
Now, after defeating Lithuania in this way, Yao Ming can clearly feel the changes in the Chinese team now.
The confidence that we are now a strong team has finally come out!
This is a qualitative improvement in the temperament of the entire team!
As the head coach of the team, Jonas certainly saw such a change in the team's temperament.
If someone told him before the game against Lithuania that the Chinese team could beat the American team in the final, he would not believe it.
Even before the match between China and Angola, before Angola exposed the fact that China was just Yes's dream team, that was a very strong Chinese team, at that time, he also did not think that China could beat the United States in the final.
The Chinese team wanted to win the championship at that time.
The slogan of the Chinese team's training this time is the championship,
which is their pursuit and desire.
But their pursuit and desire are not supported by enough mentality.
Therefore, for this Olympic journey, Jonas is cautious and pessimistic.
The team will create history, create a lot of history, but it is impossible to beat the United States.
But during the Olympic Games, Jonas really didn't expect that Yes would bring such a huge change to the team.
Because of the Angola incident and the Chen Jianghua incident, Yes made the young players of the whole team who were nervous and confused no longer confused.
These young people in the team now seem to be like the players of the Seattle Supersonics.
According to many media interviews with Seattle Supersonics players, the young players of the Seattle Supersonics believe that as long as they have Yes by their side, they are the strongest!
As long as they have Yes by their side, there is nothing they can't do!
This superstitious worship of Yes has also appeared in the Chinese team, sprouted, and taken root!
After the Angola incident and the Chen Jianghua incident, coupled with Yes's invincible performance in the Olympics, the young people of the Chinese team have undergone a transformation.
And in tonight's game with Lithuania, the old players of the Chinese team, who were originally in a state of depression, finally realized the changes in the whole world now.
After the veterans in the team were also strongly changed by Yes and the young players in this game, the Chinese team finally completed the reorganization of the entire team at the last moment before the game with the US team!
The current Chinese team finally looks like it can beat the US team!
"Now, I can finally take revenge on the Dream Team!"
Jonas' face was calm, but his heart was extremely excited and extremely hot!
Is the chance of revenge big?
He didn't know, but he knew that his chance of revenge finally came!
"Now the whole world is cheering for Yes!"
After the Chinese team defeated Lithuania, the dream team in the big environment of China can clearly feel the changes in the entire world.
After they came to the capital for the Olympics, the management of the Dream Team acted as if they should not leave the hotel. Later, because of Yes’s great power in the Olympics, their role and positioning changed, from the protagonist to the supporting role, and finally to It has become an irrelevant sidekick, even forgotten by the whole world.
At that time, the whole world was crazy about how many gold medals Yes had won. Who cared who was on their dream team?
Therefore, during that time, they could still appear on the streets of the capital drinking beer.
But after the match between the Chinese team and Lithuania, the world really changed.
In one fell swoop, they went from being a sidekick that no one cared about to becoming a villain that attracted worldwide attention!
"We have now become another villain standing in front of Yes!"
"Hahahaha, I like this feeling!"
"Isn't it great to see the devil defeat the brave man who holds the hope of the world in the most cruel way?!"
After the match between the Chinese team and Lithuania, the morale of the Dream Team reached its highest level.
Coach K is very satisfied with the changes in the team.
This shows that the concepts of ‘conquest’ and ‘making Team USA great again’ that he has been instilling in the team in the past few months are correct.
With these two correct concepts, it is finally time for the American team to harvest!
Harvest the Chinese team, harvest Yes, and reap the attention of the entire world!
Just like the players of the Dream Team said and thought, as long as the Demon King can defeat the brave in the most invincible and cruel way, then even the villainous Demon King can become the protagonist of this world!
The protagonist of this world has died, and his death was so miserable. The whole world will change from supporting and expecting the brave to fearing and worshiping the devil.
It's fun to be supported and looked forward to.
But if there is no support and no expectations, it is also interesting to have fear and worship.
As the head coach of the Dream Team, he certainly does not need the fear and admiration of others.
He only needs one thing, that is respect!
Respect from the NCAA!
He just wants to prove one thing, that is, the guy from the University of Washington can't do the things he did on the US team!
It is a skill to achieve good results with a bunch of garbage.
Leading a bunch of strong people to achieve the strongest results is another skill!
He wants to use this Olympic game to tell the world that he is the kind of coach who leads the strongest players to achieve the strongest record!
He wants to use his performance of beating Yes and the Chinese team in this Olympics to let the NCAA know that even if he likes to find the strongest high school students and pile up talent, there is nothing wrong with that. Not all coaches are the kind of coaches who pick up trash. !
His noble basketball can never be compared to Romar Lorenzo!
Coach K was a little excited for a while thinking about the huge change in his reputation in the United States after the Olympic basketball game tomorrow.
Of course, he is a thoughtful person, and he knows very well that he needs to do a lot of work to achieve such a goal.
The American team has a very, very huge advantage over the Chinese team.
First of all, the US team has the only big center in the world who can suppress Yao, Shaquille O'Neal!
Secondly, the US team has the best center in the entire defense team, Shaquille O'Neal!
Look at the big fat man chatting and laughing with reporters on the sidelines of the training ground.
In the previous seven games of the US team, O'Neal's performance was very small. This is not because he did not want to perform.
It was that he and Team USA were unwilling to let him perform.
He and the US team hope that O'Neal can use these seven games to adjust his condition and adjust his strongest strength to the best.
He is Team USA's biggest secret weapon!
As for the status of the team's secret weapon, not only he is concerned, but the rest of the team is also concerned.
This morning, when the whole world was going crazy for Yes and the Chinese team, O'Neal gave them a reassurance.
"Don't worry, my current condition is very, very good. I can clearly feel that there is no difference between me now and me in 2004!"
"As long as any of you don't end up like you did in 2004, the game against Yes will be a game for all of us to enjoy glory!"
With Kobe's face livid, O'Neal told the entire American team the most exciting news.
O'Neal's state determines whether the US team can achieve its goal with Yes this time.
Because this match between the American team and Yes and the Chinese team requires more than just a victory.
It's a big win!
What the Dream Team players want is a 58-point victory!
Although he doesn't necessarily need to win so many points, he still needs at least 30 points!
Of course, it would be better to achieve a 58-point victory.
After all, in this world, the first person in the world to be scored 58 points by Yes was not Chris Paul, but him and his Duke players.
Just because Chris Paul was beaten 58 in the NBA, the NBA is indeed more influential in the world than the NCAA, and... Chris Paul was beaten more than once.
O'Neal is the cornerstone of this revenge plan, and now the cornerstone is in perfect condition.
And the conditions of other people around this cornerstone are also quite good.
Kobe, James, Wade, Kidd, Billups, Prince, Anthony...
Each of them is now showing him their desire for the next game.
As the head coach of the Dream Team, the happiest and most distressing thing is to find a starting lineup for the team.
Everyone is in good condition, so how to find this starting lineup?
When playing against other teams, no one cares about the starters and substitutes.
But how could no one care about the game with Yes?
After the team confirmed that O'Neal would be the starting center in the finals, Howard was even ready to go back to the United States directly.
If he hadn't been persuaded to come back by the management of the Dream Team, he would have left now.
"Don't TM want me to be a substitute for that fat guy who is raised by the beeping!"
Although he didn't go back to the United States directly, Howard was sure that he would not play in the finals.
Even if he was persuaded to come back, Howard is not at the team's training ground now.
A starting center position can make Howard have such a big rebound, not to mention other positions, which makes him dare not arrange the starting position of the finals before the finals start.
Kidd vs. Billups?
Kobe vs. Wade?
Anthony vs. Bosh?
How to choose?
Headache!
It's really a happy headache!
Everyone wants to be the one who makes history, but there are only five most shining opportunities to make history.
Coach K is now worried about the starting lineup of the Dream Team in the finals.
No matter how huge the cake is, it is a little difficult to divide.
And what about the Chinese team on the other side?
The Chinese team is of course also preparing for the game.
But what makes the Chinese team a little embarrassed is that in the past two years, the team has had an uninvited guest.
"Yes, I really can't stand it anymore!"
"I swear, this time joining the American team is the most wrong decision I have ever made in my life!"
"Being teammates with that fat guy and that disloyal betrayer is an insult to my soul!"
"I am the great Howard, I am the great representative of loyalty!"
"They actually asked me to be a substitute for that 'Sky Runner'!"
"If I had known earlier, I would have learned from that guy Arenas!"
"That guy Arenas must have seen the darkness of these people!"
Howard, a player of the American team, is now stationed at the training ground of the Chinese team...
Yes has heard so many of Howard's words in the past two days.
I can only say that this guy is really full of resentment now.
"You keep scolding me, I'm going to walk outside."
"What are you walking around for? You still have a game in the afternoon!"
Wouldn't it be nice to chat with the great loyal Howard?
Anyway, you will be abused in the afternoon.
"I also have a competition in the morning."
"Then I'll go too!"
Three hours later, looking at Yes standing on the marathon champion podium receiving cheers from the world.
Waving flowers in his hands, Howard felt jealous...
"Nine gold medals!"
"Yes broke Phelps' record of eight Olympic gold medals!"
"Only one away from perfection!"
Damn it, if I had known earlier, I would have signed up for other Olympic events!
All Howard could think of was himself showing off to the American team with nine gold medals around his neck...
