From today on is the king

Chapter 1607 1606. Battle at the Peak!

Garnett returned to the West and joined the Hornets, which had no effect on the Chinese team.

Liu Mang felt very happy. Garnett's joining the Hornets will definitely have a great impact on the strong teams in the West, and it will be a good thing for them in the East.

Yao Ming didn't care too much about the Hornets, a team that was eliminated in the first round of last season. They played in the nobles for a long time, so they are so pissy.

Wang Zhizhi, Yi Jianlian, and Sun Yue, the three players who played in the United States, were basically unaffected. They had fun watching the media criticism caused by Garnett's refusal to renew his contract and return to the West with domestic players.

Moreover, Yao Ming has not been afraid of Garnett since his rookie year. He averaged 19 points, 9.3 rebounds and 3.1 blocks per game against Garnett in his six-year career. In his rookie year, he can easily get 20+10 on Garnett.

But Team USA is different...

Most of the stars of the U.S. team are from the West. Kidd, who has a headache for his team's slow adaptation, Kobe, who is bound to be interfered by Garnett's wide defensive area for a long time in the mid-range attack, Josh Smith and Boozer, two power forwards who will directly face Garnett...all feel deeply threatened.

Prince likes to use the inside defensive gate. He has three years left on his contract with the Hornets, and it is estimated that Garnett will be able to maintain his form for almost three years. One inside and one outside two defensive gates. Prince doesn't have to be so tired, and the team has become stronger!
And some stars in the East have also been affected.

Garnett is the leading star that the Bulls sent back a large number of first-round and high-quality role players. David West and a first-rounder... Obviously, it is not half of Garnett's transaction value.

This has had a rather nasty effect on the NBA.

James and Bosh, two superstars and top stars of the 03 generation who are now depressed, are even more restless...

As the top basketball players in China and the United States were dealing with Garnett with their own minds, one day passed quickly. On August 8, it was time for the Olympic men's basketball finals.

There is no doubt that this is the most watched event in the entire Olympic Games after the track and field sprint and hurdle events!
The mentality of the Chinese team and the US team is very different.

For the Chinese team, winning is earning, and the US team must win!

……

"Happy Bells' sudden cause..."

Liu Mang blew out the candles amidst the happy birthday songs of his teammates, his teammates' families and his own family members.

After Liu Mang made his wish and blew out the candles, the children couldn't wait to snatch the cake away.

There is no surprise for Liu Mang like the last Olympic Games. This time it is the final, and the outcome is hard to say. Moreover, the Chinese team’s hope of winning the championship is really not high. I can only say that it will be good if it wins, but if it doesn’t win... there is no way.

The best players in basketball powerhouses such as China, Spain, and Argentina all need to learn and work hard under American basketball in order to become stronger.

Although the road ahead is bumpy, we still have to move forward. After all, from a macro perspective, basketball has only been born for a hundred years, and it is still unknown what the world of basketball will be like in another 100 years.

After a brief birthday celebration, the family members of the players left to give the players final preparation time.

For the final preparation time, the Chinese team watched the edited videos of the American team’s games before this year’s Olympics, techniques and tactics. The past seven games have been run-in to the best possible degree. After all, the core seven or eight members have not changed since two years ago.

At [-] o'clock in the afternoon, the Chinese team came to the Olympic Sports Center to start warming up. The final final is coming soon...

……

……

"Central TV station, court TV station, here is the men's basketball final of the BJ Olympic Games brought to you by the sports channel of the court TV station. The Chinese men's basketball team will face the American men's basketball team at home..."

More than 30 provincial satellite TVs and satellite TVs of municipalities directly under the Central Government stopped the live broadcast of all other games during the next two hours of the game, and the finals of the Chinese men's basketball team and the American men's basketball team were broadcast live nationwide!
All other games were divided into other channels of the court TV station, that is, all the first-line channels broadcast the men's basketball final of the court sports channel signal!
More than 150 countries and regions around the world will broadcast the game live simultaneously!
According to estimates, the game will be watched by 20 billion to 30 billion people around the world!

In the introduction of the commentators of the largest TV stations in the world, players from China and the United States entered the stadium.

The Chinese national anthem and the American national anthem were played successively in the Olympic Sports Center.

It’s not that the Chinese national anthem has never been played in the finals of the three major Olympic goals, but those are all women’s events, and this is the first time for men’s events!
Many of the more than 4000 Chinese fans at the scene were in tears, which surprised fans from other countries.

The Chinese Olympic team has won 46 gold medals, far surpassing the second-ranked US team. The final of a single event will make sports fans of such a top two sports power in the world burst into tears!

The other country in the top two is of course the United States, and it is determined that China and the United States must be the top two sports powers in the world in the next 30 to [-] years.

For today's game, it is estimated that more than 7 million people in China will watch the live broadcast of this game. Many domestic companies are temporarily on holiday today. Such a game will have a greater influence than the men's football team entering the World Cup back then!
This is the reward of six years of hard work by Liu Mang and his teammates!
Liu Mang and his teammates stepped into the Olympic Stadium with the expectation of the people of the whole country.

The American team can't lose and dare not lose. They can't afford to lose. This time they have sent the strongest lineup, and there is no way out!
The national anthems of the two countries are played, the pre-match activities are over, and the starting players of the two teams are about to appear.

For the Chinese team, Sun Yue, Liu Mang, Wang Shipeng, Yi Jianlian, and Yao Ming started.

For the US team, Kidd, Kobe, McGrady, James, and Kwame Brown made their debut.

Liu Mang and the little blacksmith came to the technology table to polish the chalk. They didn't communicate with each other, not even eye contact... The main reason was that the little blacksmith didn't even look at Liu Mang.

But this made Liu Mang a little more confident, the other party obviously carried more pressure than his side!
