Chapter 359 Chapter 356: Never seen this kind of opening (7K begging for tickets)
On the afternoon of August 8th, the weather was not good, and it rained heavily in Beijing.

But even so, they couldn't resist the enthusiasm of the fans, and there were long queues outside the Wukesong Stadium.

In 2008, buying tickets online was not the main way for everyone to buy tickets, so most people went to the scene to queue up to buy tickets for the evening game that afternoon.

Some foreign fans who couldn't buy tickets even held up signs in the rain to ask for tickets.

Well, it's not just the Chinese and American fans who are paying attention to this game, it has almost attracted the attention of the whole world.

It is hard to get a ticket outside the Wukesong Stadium, and the arena in the evening is already overcrowded.

The match between China and the beautiful country was scheduled for ten o'clock in the evening on the 10th.

Although it was getting late, the fans in the arena were still very enthusiastic.

The CCTV reporter was wearing a raincoat outside the arena, looking at the long line, and swallowed.

Apart from the opening ceremony, this may be the most watched night since the Olympics.

The fact is the same, today a total of 6 presidents and dignitaries from more than 100 countries appeared in the Wukesong Stadium.

There are countless stars, and the degree of starlight can be said to be the best of Staples.

Domestic, foreign, sports circles, entertainment circles, everyone.

Unlike Staples, even the stars don't necessarily get front row seats.

They are just like ordinary fans, hidden in every corner of the stands.

Every glance at the camera is a surprise.

Such a scene is indeed worthy of this massive battle.

This is a veritable battle!

At this time, in the locker room of the Chinese team, everyone was very nervous.

Although the door of the locker room was closed, the loud call from outside still penetrated the soundproof door and reached the ears of every player.

Wayne also clasped his hands together, which felt very different.

He has never played such an important game in his own country, which is a completely different feeling from playing in the NBA.

Chairman Yao looked at Wayne and smiled wryly: "How did you sleep yesterday?"

"Not much, can't sleep." Well, Wayne experienced the feeling of tossing and turning because he was too much looking forward to the next day yesterday.

"Kobe said he couldn't sleep either, and I think we're probably the two most nervous teams in the Olympics."

Yes, the dream team is also under a lot of pressure.

They came this time to break the embarrassment of not winning the world championship for seven years.

So there is nothing to lose.

American fans may not care about the Basketball World Championships, but they still attach great importance to the Olympics.

If this happens again like in Athens in 04, I am afraid that fans all over the United States will take to the streets to parade.

"It's normal for Kobe to not be able to sleep. I think he will ask you when he returns to Los Angeles. Have you ever seen Beijing at four o'clock in the morning?" Wayne joked. It turned out that the guys from the Dream Team were also in a panic!

Because Pao'er also called yesterday to say that he couldn't sleep!

Those high-ranking dream team players you think are just mortals.

Or a group of mortals that Wayne has beaten before.

Don't scare yourself to death first. If you don't open your eyes, the dream team won't win the championship right away in this Olympic Games.

In the 08 Olympic Games, Spain almost sent the strongest lineup in history, and it was bound to fight the beautiful country to the end.

After European teams and American teams defeated the United States successively in the Olympics and World Championships in the past few years, the 08 Olympics was also surrounded by wolves, each with their own elite.

Everyone in the Dream Eight team knows very well that winning the championship is not something that can be easily achieved by playing exhibition games.

Hearing that Kobe was also nervous, Wayne felt a lot more relaxed.

The most feared thing in a basketball game is not that you can't beat others, but that you make myths about your opponents.

If you tell yourself in advance, "I'm afraid you're thinking about farts" before the beating, then there's really no need for beating.

"Athletes are ready to enter!" At this moment, a staff member shouted outside the locker room.

Everyone looked at each other and took a deep breath.

It's time to play!

Walking out of the locker room, the player tunnel was full of reporters and staff, and an atmosphere of a big battle spread immediately.

After Wayne walked out of the locker room, he clapped his hands and raised his fist: "Come on, everyone, come here!"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then Sun Yue was the first to join in, followed by Yao Ming, Zhu Ba, and Wang Zhizhi
All the players of the Chinese team were fisted together, and everyone formed a circle.

"We stand together now, we put our hands together! We have to give ourselves to this team, and we have to carry the team on our shoulders! Team China, come on!"

After shouting, Wayne took the lead and rushed towards the player tunnel.

Almost all the staff and reporters in the channel were applauding the men's basketball players.

Yu Jia, a live reporter for CCTV, stood at the entrance of the tunnel. He high-fived every player who passed by him, and kept shouting "Come on, come on!"

The one who yelled so loudly that his face turned red.

Everyone is on fire, and you can empathize with everyone on the court, which is never experienced in an NBA game.

Wayne led the way to the players' tunnel. At that time, seeing thousands of five-star red flags waving in the stands outside, Wayne suddenly got goosebumps all over his body.

Well, the first time Wayne played in the NCAA, the first time he played under the yelling of so many people, he got goosebumps all over his body.

The first time in the NBA, he got goosebumps when people cheered on his goal.

The first time he won the O'Brien Cup, the first time the fans shouted "MVP" at him
But over the years, there have been fewer and fewer scenes that can shock Wayne.

Unexpectedly, I ran into another one today!
When the Chinese team rushed out, the whole Wukesong was boiling, and Wayne felt full of strength.

At that moment, he personally felt what it means to be "you are not fighting alone".

The players of the dream team also just entered the arena. Before entering the arena, Xiao Bu Shi just went to shake hands with the players.

This shows the importance of this game.

The leading Wayne and Kobe looked at each other, but neither spoke.

The two sides began to warm up, and Paoer kept looking towards Wayne, but Wayne didn't intend to come up to say hello.

If it was an NBA game and he met his old friends, Wayne would definitely go up to say hello.

But on this occasion today, Wayne thinks it is inappropriate to speak before the game.

Talking to the other party before this kind of battle, there will be a feeling of being close and showing weakness.

As Chairman Yao said: "No matter how we lie down in the end, at least we have to hit them first when we go up."

Well, although Tu Yao is usually quite gentle, his hands are actually dark!
After the national anthem playing ceremony, when tens of thousands of people stood up and sang together, the state of the Chinese team players was completely ignited.

Under such circumstances, it is really possible for a person to perform beyond the level.

"CCTV! Hello, viewers and friends of CCTV! Now we are at the Wukesong Basketball Stadium in Beijing, the 29th Olympic Games, the last game of the first match day of men's basketball, the Chinese team vs. the US team!
Now we will introduce the starting lineup of the Chinese team. The point guard is Liu Wei, the attacking guard is Sun Yue, the small forward Yi Jianlian, the power forward Wayne, and the center Yao Ming! "

Teacher Sun Zhengping's voice resounded in the TV sets of countless families, and today the classic combination of Zhengping and Weiping was explaining the game.

In the early days of Wayne's entry into the NBA, the two often commented on NBA games together.

Later, due to the emergence of young people such as Yu Jia and Yang Yi, Sun Zhengping stopped talking about NBA balls.

After all, he is not specifically talking about basketball games.

Today, Jonas let Yi Jianlian and Wayne start at the same time.Although on the surface, Wayne is the fourth position and Yi Jianlian is the third position, but in fact, both of them are ready to swing at any time.

The position of the forward line is flexible and vague.

"Don't be nervous, play well! The dream team is nothing. Last summer we played a similar lineup in the training camp! Didn't we win too!" Wayne patted Yi Jianlian's arm, and Ah Lian nodded seriously.

Yes, Wayne's training camp last summer already included many members of the dream team.

It is not the first time Yi Jianlian has faced off against a team of this level.

"Play well, don't panic me when you get the chance, understand?" After that, Wayne told the Great Sage a few more words.

"Don't worry, Brother Wei, I will definitely seize the opportunity to shoot today!" The Great Sage patted his chest.

On the Dream Team side, the players all looked serious, and their pressure was less than that of the Chinese team.

For China, people's requirement is to play at home and play with momentum.

To put it bluntly, losing less is winning.

But for the dream team, it’s not enough for you to just win. You have to win beautifully against a team like China.

Otherwise, how do you prove your dominance?

Mousse sprinkled a handful of chalk on the technical stage before the game, but not many people cheered him on the scene.

In Wukesong, he was not the little emperor that everyone was looking forward to.

The starting lineup of the Dream Eight team is indeed fantastic, Kidd, Kobe, Mousse, Guagua and Happy Beast.

The new generation of 03 and 04 accounted for half of the country.

In the jump ball stage, Jonas sent Wayne to jump the ball with Howard, hoping that Wayne, who had beaten Howard in the slam dunk contest, could win the first attack.

Howard smiled when he saw Wayne. As expected of a happy beast, he could laugh anytime.

Wayne looked serious, silently waiting for the referee from Finland to kick off.

Under the gaze of 8000 million Chinese, [-] million Americans, and a total of one billion people around the world, the referee threw the ball into the air, and the battle finally started!

Although Wayne won the slam dunk contest, to be honest, his physical fitness has not yet reached the point where he can be on an equal footing with Howard.

Especially in the vertical take-off on the spot, Wayne is far inferior to Master Huo.

Sprinting to take off, with the blessing of his height, wingspan and badge, Wayne can still work at heights.

But the vertical takeoff is really no match for that beast.

The moment Master Huo won the ball, Guagua ran to the frontcourt.After all, he is the one who made the bet, so he has to make a watch and deduct one first.

After receiving the basketball, Kidd saw that Guagua had rushed to the half of the Chinese team, and he immediately played the ball without hesitation.

This time the raid was launched so fast that even the cameras didn't have time to keep up.

Seeing this situation, Yao Ming immediately retreated to the basket, and Guagua also tried his best to dunk Yao Ming to warm up first.

As a result, before he had time to dribble after receiving the ball, the basketball was suddenly cut by someone, and he let it go!
Guagua turned around and saw that it was Liu Wei!
That's right, Liu Wei.

He didn't give up on fighting Anthony. Now that he's on the court, he can't think so much. Whoever the fuck you are, you just have to fight!

After the basketball was cut off, it hit Guagua's leg and popped out of the bottom line, and the Chinese team got the ball!

"A good shot, the US team came up and it was a mistake!"

Wukesong continued to boil, and Guagua probably thought that the Chinese team was still the same as before, and could break through its defense with casual hits.

However, he didn't know that what he was facing might be the most different Chinese team ever.

I wanted to dunk a morale booster as soon as I came up, but I didn't expect the performance to fail.

Guagua was embarrassed, but he knew that the camera must have taken a close-up of himself, so he tried to stay calm.

"Don't panic, don't panic! Handsome Guagua, you are still handsome!" Anthony comforted himself in his heart.

Yao Ming retreated from the baseline to serve, but before the ball was delivered, Kidd and Kobe had already posted it.

The audience is pressing!
At the beginning of the game, the Dream Team used a full-court press to contain the Chinese team.

In the NBA, unless it is a critical moment, in most cases, the full-court press will not be used to defend.

Because the NBA's guard ability is too strong, it is no problem for them to hold the ball and break the press.

In fact, they even have this ability as a center forward. Isn't Happy Beast a master at piercing through lanes, giving fluids and breaking pressure? Keke!

But FIBA ​​is different. For defenders in many countries, dribbling across half court is really a technical job.

It is the dream of many international defenders to have the superb half-court dribbling skills of Green Cap Fish!

Lao Yu: I am a master at dribbling guards.

Needless to say, Ji Bugong's defensive ability is very good for Liu Wei.

Xiao Qike was not polite to Sun Yue either, he had long wanted to have a good match with Sun Yue.

He actually risked himself last summer, and made trouble for himself many times last season.

Kobe remembers the game where the Blazers interrupted the Lakers' winning streak, and Sun Yue defended the key shot at the end.

Although he won the championship, he still remembers the hatred of Black Mamba!

With both defenders entangled, Chairman Yao couldn't serve the ball.

At this time, Wayne ran up and raised his hand for the ball.

Yao Ming also passed the ball to Wayne.

The player in position [-] holds the ball across the half!

"Wayne dribbled the ball through the half court, we all said, although this Wayne played the [-]th position, his versatility is very good!
The American media all claim that Wayne is the kind of player who can play from position one to position five! "Mr. Sun Zhengping couldn't help giving the fans popular science.

After all, most of the people watching this game are not people who pay attention to basketball on weekdays.

Many people may watch this basketball game in four years.

Just like every World Cup, there will be old fans who watch the game once every four years.

Everyone heard that Yao Ming is the NBA champion and Wayne is the MVP.

But how they play, in fact, many people don't know.

"Since this Wayne is so good, can he dunk from beyond the three-point line!" Countless children asked such questions.

There is no way, Zhou Tianwang's "Slam Dunk" was really popular some time ago.

This is also because "Basketball Fire" is not that popular in mainland China, otherwise people will find "Slam Dunk" to be nothing.

When Wayne was dribbling, Guagua was always looking for an opportunity to steal.

You said that if the ball is changed without attacking to break Wayne, Wayne may not dare to be lucky.

But Guagua.
Look at him, he is too lazy to get down, can he grab the ball?

Melon himself is not a very strong ball-handling stealer in the NBA.

Wayne is a ball-handler trained under the hands of two ball-stealing experts, Tony and Toutai, can he be easily taken out by Guagua?

Wayne didn't make a pass, but waited for Yao Ming to come up and play a pick-and-roll with him.

"Let's see, the center forward and the second center forward play screen cooperation!" Director Zhang was excited, this kind of cooperation can only be played by the Chinese team.

With one block and one burst, both Howard and Guagua were attracted by Wayne.

Wayne is the number one nightmare of the Dream Team. After all, he is an MVP-level player in the NBA. Old K also invested the most defensive force against Wayne.

As a result, Wayne did not make a strong attack after breaking through, but passed the ball behind him.

Yao Ming received the basketball from outside the three-point line, without hesitation, he shot directly!
FIBA's three-point shot is two points long in the NBA, so there is no problem for Yao Ming to shoot three-pointers according to FIBA ​​rules.

Guagua blocked it immediately, but Yao Ming's shots were within his reach.

And the Chinese team has practiced for a long time for this.

Every night in Wukesong, on this playing field, the Chinese team practices a lot of three-point shooting every day.

Whether you are inside or outside, center or guard, you have to practice three-pointers.

In this era, three-pointers have not yet become popular, and Jonas is also a defensive-oriented coach.

So Wayne proposed that he hoped to make a big fuss outside the three-point line.

If there is enough space, Wayne and Yao Ming will be able to play singles with peace of mind at the critical moment!
Wayne, this is equivalent to moving the idea of ​​​​one star and four shoots over.

Although the Chinese team does not play one star, but focuses on pick-and-roll offense.

But a good three-point shot is definitely beneficial to the Chinese team.

Jonas agreed with Wayne's statement very much, so he arranged for the players to practice three-pointers every night at the Wukesong venue.

You have to use this home court advantage. Other teams can only come to Wukesong to adapt to the field before the game, but the Chinese team has practiced in this field for nearly a month, and the shooting feeling is quite good.

Under Yao Ming's practice during this period, his FIBA ​​three-point shooting rate is quite good.

Indeed, everyone practiced very hard.

But this ball is the best reward for the sweat!
"brush!"

Sure enough, Yao Ming hit a three-pointer and scored the first point for the Chinese team in this Olympic Games!
"Beautiful! Yao Ming made a three-pointer. Unexpectedly, the Chinese team was hit by a center in the first three-pointer!"

The scene was jubilant, Yao Ming clenched his fist and raised his arm.

3 to 0, the Chinese team leads the dream team!
"Just now, Wayne and Yao Ming played a pick-and-roll. I think we will see this cooperation often in the future!" Director Zhang also smirked.

A 3-point lead is nothing but.
In the attack and defense just now, the Chinese team really dared to fight and fight hard!
Liu Wei dared to cut Anthony's ball, Wayne dribbled the ball across half court when facing the Dream Team, and Yao Ming shot a three-pointer as soon as he said it.

These are exactly what Chinese fans are eager to see!

What about the dream team?Don't be afraid, man!
In the subsequent attack, Mousse broke into the penalty area under the cover of the happy beast.

But Yao Ming didn't pay attention to the Happy Beast at all, and just huddled in the three-second zone and waited for Mousse to come in.

If you don't defend for three seconds, you can do whatever you want.

After Mousse rushed in, he found that Yao Ming was guarding the basket like a mountain, so he chose to break through and score the ball. The goal was Guagua outside the 45° three-point line on the left!
As soon as Guagua took off after catching the ball, he was blocked in the face by Wayne who arrived in time.

"Fxxk!" The old coach K cursed, and the scene he was most worried about still appeared.

Yao Ming squats to guard the penalty area, and Wayne sweeps the outside line.If it can be done well, the Chinese team's defense will be quite good.

And just now, the Chinese team really did it.

Guagua was severely disturbed by Wayne, and the ballistic trajectory was crooked the moment he shot.

The basketball finally hit the side of the basket, and the Chinese team took down the dream team's attack for the second time!
"Ah, this." Guagua was even more embarrassed, the two attacks fell on his own hands!

What a mess!
Chairman Yao protected the rebound and quickly handed it to Liu Wei.

Immediately, tens of thousands of fans shouted in unison: "China team, come on! China team, come on!"

Well, this is a slogan that everyone has been shouting since they were young, and they are tired of shouting.

At this moment, it was like a drum of war, exciting!

Liu Wei played a pick-and-roll with Wayne after halftime, Yao Ming continued to pull beyond the three-point line, and Howard didn't dare to let go.

This also means that the inside line of the Dream Team is completely empty, and no one is protecting the frame!
In the past, it didn't matter if no one was protecting the frame. It was impossible for the Chinese team to break through the perimeter blockade.

But now with Wayne, everything is different.

After the screen, Wayne slid down immediately, and Liu Wei threw the basketball into the air.

Wayne ignored Anthony who was standing in front of him, jumped hard, caught the basketball in the air, and smashed the ball into the basket with both hands!

Anthony can only block Wayne's body with his hands, and there is nothing he can do about it.

Originally, Guagua was not a serious fourth position, and his ability to protect the frame was not strong.

And Wayne, who can fight back and forth with monsters like Duncan.

Unless he is a top rim protector, there is really nothing he can do about Wayne.

A Guagua took the head to defend Wayne.

"Alley dunk! My God, Wayne and Liu Wei completed a very beautiful alley cooperation, and Wayne dunked the ball through Carmelo Anthony!
Beautiful, this ball boosts morale!
5 to 0, the Chinese team continues to lead! "

Director Zhang's eyes widened, and everyone was dumbfounded.

The Chinese team, dunk the US team! ?

Ward hair! ?

Who dares to think about this!
Really, I dare not even think about it!
But now, a scene that was unimaginable before has become a reality!

The players of the dream team were dunked by Chinese players!

His old You fought this battle with real fucking wealth!

Guagua looked at Wayne who was walking away, his eyes were dull.

What's going on with this shit! ?

Why is it always me who loses face since the beginning! ?

Guagua, who originally said that Wayne and Sun Yue would be dunked at the beginning of the game, became the first one to be dunked in this game.

Pao'er on the bench shook his head and told you not to die.

It started 5-0, and both goals were beautifully scored.

This opening is what people did not expect.

This is the US team. The Chinese team has played against the dream team four times since the 84 Olympics.

The least loss was 47 points, and the most loss was more than [-] points!
And now?

After a few rounds, he still leads!
This time, Yao Ming continued to guard the inside line, forcing Kobe to break through and score the ball.

Kobe knew Yao Ming, and it would not be good to challenge him hastily.

The ball was distributed to Mousse, and Mousse faced the UAE and made a fake shot.

Ah Lian is still young and can fly at one o'clock.

If it's Wayne's defense, you just raise your arms high to block him.

He dares to cast iron!

In the end, Mousse rushed in and made a layup, and Yao Ming carried it up without reservation!

Well, not everyone has the courage to stop a LeBron James who has already rushed to speed.

Under Yao Ming's strong interference, Mousse missed a layup, but Dayao was called a foul.

FIBA requires only five fouls to be sent off, so foul opportunities are rare.

"Brother Yao, next time I come, you have to control the number of fouls!" Wayne leaned closer to Yao Ming's ear and whispered something.

Mousse stood on the free throw line and made the first free throw steadily.

But for the second free throw, the basketball slid around the basket and slid out!
"Second free throw forfeited, Yao Ming and Howard got together!"

Because the FIBA ​​rule is that basketball can be touched as long as it touches the frame, unlike the NBA, which also has interference balls.

So before the basketball slipped out, both Yao Ming and Howard pounced on it.

Yao Ming took the lead to touch the basketball, but he didn't take the ball down because Howard interfered.

Seeing that the basketball was about to go out of bounds, Yao Ming, who was huge, threw himself directly without hesitation!
"boom!"

The press area behind the basketball hoop was bombed.

"Ouch, Yao Ming flew to save the ball, threw himself outside the baffle and got the ball back!"

Amid Sun Zhengping's exclamation, Wayne got the basketball and pushed it forward immediately!
At this time, the Great Sage had already sneaked towards the bottom corner on the right.

With sharp eyes and quick hands, Wayne made a direct long-distance transmission and accurately delivered the ball to Sun Yue.

The great sage catches the ball and shoots, with a knife from outside the three-point line!
He didn't break his promise, he did everything he promised Wayne.

"Sun Yue also scored a three-pointer, 8 to 1, and the US team called a timeout! It was a fantastic start, 8 to 1! The Chinese team led by 7 points and entered the first timeout!"

The whole country is boiling. When did the Chinese team play against the US team so aggressively?

The players of the Chinese team also shouted and hugged each other, and the morale of the whole team has reached its peak!

At this time, the old coach K looked at everyone and slammed the tactical board: "Now you know, the Chinese are here to fight you!

Bring out all your strengths, we have to fucking look good and win this first game! "

Everyone in the dream team nodded. The most terrifying stadium meat grinder in the world is about to start.
