NBA: I am the god of basketball

Chapter 118 The first match of the Olympics, vs the American Dream Team!
This kind of person really exists, perhaps because Wang Chao's sudden birth has moved some people's cakes, or maybe it's just because Wang Chao is too hot to feel unhappy, in short, many people hope that Wang Chao will ruthlessly Fall, preferably the kind that never gets up.

When the matter began to brew and ferment, Dayao was keenly aware of the seriousness of the matter, and immediately persuaded Wang Chao to publicly apologize to the media to minimize the impact of the matter.

The public relations team including Team Yao also suggested the same.

This is not a very serious matter in itself, but it is slightly sensitive in terms of time.

The official response of the Basketball Association when they learned of this incident was to suppress it. Nothing is as important as the Olympics right now.

Besides, Wang Chao's professional attitude is recognized by everyone, including the head coach Yunus. In training, no one in the Chinese men's basketball team dares to say that he can do it. .

As long as Wang Chao sincerely admits his mistake, and then Dayao, Yunus and others stand up to help and say a few words, coupled with the official control of public opinion, it will not be difficult to quell this matter.

But Wang Chao didn't care.

"Apologize? Why apologize?"

I have not violated any law or discipline, so what is there to apologize for?
As for their doubts that they were too lax before the Olympics, which would lead to abnormal performance in the game, they would use actual actions to slap those guys in the face severely during the game and it would be over.

He has never had the habit of apologizing without making a mistake.

For Wang Chao's bad temper, Dayao was also very helpless. It was because of his temper that he was banned for three years.

I originally thought that Wang Chao's temper had calmed down a lot after he became famous in the NBA. After all, he was willing to return to the men's basketball team, but now it seems that it is difficult to change a person's temper.

……

For the Olympics, this in itself is a trivial blip.

Especially when the authorities began to make efforts to prohibit the media and the Internet from discussing any matters related to Hua Guo Olympic athletes outside the field, the questioning voices immediately decreased a lot.

But these voices didn't disappear completely, they just hid temporarily under the policy, like a wild beast waiting for an opportunity to hunt, hiding in the dark, waiting for the prey to show a flaw before rushing out to give the opponent a fatal blow.

This flaw was naturally when the Huaguo men's basketball team failed to qualify for the group stage and failed the expectations of all Huaguo fans!
On August 8, the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games was held as scheduled, and the whole world focused on the capital of China, which was unprecedentedly grand.

Two days after the opening ceremony, that is, on August 2, the men's basketball preliminaries officially started.

At 22:15 in the evening, at the Wukesong Gymnasium in the capital, the much-anticipated first match of the Huaguo men's basketball preliminaries, the showdown with the world's strongest American men's basketball team is about to begin!

That night, countless Chinese people sat in front of the TV, eagerly looking forward to the start of the game.

"Hello, audience friends. This is the live commentary game of the Olympic Men's Basketball Group B Group Match Huaguo Men's Basketball vs. Miguo Men's Basketball Team brought by CCTV Sports. I am the commentator Sun Guidance of this game. Today we We also invited Director Zhang, the former men's basketball national player, to bring you a commentary on the game, welcome Director Zhang."

The combination of Director Sun + Director Zhang can be regarded as the classic commentary combination of men's basketball in the 08 Olympic Games.

The two were not too wordy, and after a brief introduction, they immediately threw themselves into the game commentary.

"We can see that the players from the Chinese and American teams have already shaken hands and saluted each other on the field, and the game is about to begin."

"Let me introduce the starting lineup of the Huaguo team. Point guard Liu Wei, shooting guard Sun Yue, small forward Wang Chao, power forward Ah Lian, and center Yao."

"The starting lineup of the American men's basketball team is point guard Kidd, shooting guard Kobe, small forward James, power forward Anthony, and center Howard."

"Director Zhang, what do you think of the starting lineups of both sides?"

Director Zhang took over the topic and said: "The current Huaguo men's basketball team can be regarded as the strongest lineup in the history of the Huaguo men's basketball team. There are five NBA or former NBA players in the team. Among them, Dayao and Wang Chao are both players. NBA All-Star players, as long as they can play at their due level, their strength will not be inferior to any team in the world."

"The U.S. men's basketball team is known as the dream team. In this Olympic Games, they also have another name, the Redemption Team, because in recent years, the U.S. men's basketball team has not performed well in the World Championships. In the 04 Athens Olympics, the 06 They failed to win the Men's Basketball World Championships in [-], so this Olympics is a journey of redemption for them. The American men's basketball team wants to win the Olympic championship and return to the top of the world."

"So we can see that the lineup of this American men's basketball team can be called the strongest dream team in recent years. All 12 players in the team are All-Star players, and they are all in their prime, with the only exception. It is the 35-year-old Jason Kidd, but as a point guard, Kidd relies on game experience and passing to play. His rich veteran experience can also be a good driver for this younger dream team Victory."

"For the Huaguo men's basketball team, this game is a game that needs to play their own spirit, and it also plays a vital role in facing other opponents in the future."

On the field, the substitute players from both sides had left the field, and Howard, who was Wang Chao's teammate, took the initiative to hug Wang Chao.

"Brother, I didn't expect that we would face each other on the field as opponents." Howard said to Wang Chao: "Come on."

At this time, Howard did not have the expression of laughing and joking in the past. Even he knew that in the international arena, especially in such an important game as the Olympic Games, it must be taken seriously, especially for the US team. , They must regain the lost championship, so in terms of pressure, the American men's basketball team is no less than the Huaguo men's basketball team.

Wang Chao didn't speak, but nodded slightly at Howard. In this game, he will also go all out. Although the opponent is the strongest American men's basketball team, the Huaguo team is not prepared to give up selectively. After all This is the home court of the Huaguo men's basketball team. It is impossible for them to give up without even playing.

If that's the case, how can they be worthy of the Huaguo fans who came to the scene to cheer for them?

The game is about to start, and the stands of the Wukesong Stadium are all full. A large number of Hua Guo fans are holding up the national flag and cheering for them. Endless courage of players!

As the referee threw the basketball high into the sky, UAE and Howard jumped the ball, and the game officially began!
The excellent explosion and bounce allowed Howard to easily win the jump ball. Kidd, who received the basketball, threw the ball forward before half court. Anthony, who had already rushed to the basket, wanted to attack but was caught by tight The Arab League who was following him broke out and went out of bounds, and the Huaguo men's basketball team had the right.

As Wang Chao remembered, at the beginning of the game, the American men's basketball team seemed to be a little nervous or cold, and the options and efficiency of the attack in the first few rounds were not high.

However, this is also the shortcoming of the 08 Dream Team. The lineup is too short and the attacking ability is insufficient.

There is only one true center in the 08 Dream Team, and that is Howard. The remaining inside players are only Bosh and Boozer, who are biased toward space-oriented power forwards.

But at the same time of sacrificing height, the dream team got almost exaggerated mobility.

Just like their current starting lineup, including Howard, they run faster than many outside players on other teams, which also makes the Dream Team invincible in fast-paced offensive and defensive transitions.

The match between Hua Guo men's basketball team and Mi Guo men's basketball team in the 08 Olympic Games has always been regarded as the most exciting match between Hua Guo and Mi Guo for so many years.

Because in this game, under the leadership of Dayao, the Huaguo men's basketball team was once inseparable from the American men's basketball team. In the first quarter, the two sides were evenly matched. In the second half of the second quarter, the Huaguo men's basketball team gradually couldn't keep up with the opponent's rhythm, and the scoring efficiency began to decline, and the frequent mistakes lost by the opponent's oppressive defense were successfully scored as counterattacks to open the score.

In the end, the score of the two teams was 101:70. The 31-point difference is also the smallest difference in the history of the two teams in the Olympic Games.

Wang Chao has watched countless replays of this game in the future, so it is clear that there are several reasons why the two teams were able to play inextricably in the first place.

First, the opponent is still in the trial period at the beginning of the game, and the offense is mainly reflected in the form of positional warfare. Under the FIBA ​​rules that allow zone defense, Yao stands alone on the inside and supports the sky, no matter who rushes into the inside. To face Dayao's defense, the offensive efficiency is of course not good.

Second, the game has just started, and the main players of the Huaguo men's basketball team are very physically fit. Even if the American men's basketball team rushes up, they can keep up. The enthusiasm for defense is all online, and Yao is helping to check for omissions at the basket. , the effect is naturally good.

The third is the accuracy of outside shots. Especially in the first quarter, the Huaguo men's basketball team was very accurate in outside shots. Even Dayao made a three-pointer from outside the three-point line.

In addition, there is the superposition of the buff of the Huaguo men's basketball team's home game. Various factors have created this hearty battle.

Right now, these buffs seem to be still there, and the Huaguo men's basketball team has added a strong support Wang Chao!
After Sun Yue dribbled the ball for halftime, he immediately passed the ball to Wang Chao.

The defender he faced was Kobe, and the strong sense of oppression from the opponent made it difficult for Sun Yue to dribble the ball, and there was no way to complete the attack alone.

This is not beyond his expectation. There is a huge difference between these players and the real top stars in the NBA. Moreover, Kobe has been selected to the best defensive team for many years, and he is the top perimeter defender in the entire NBA. .

Of course, the opponent Wang Chao faces is also not simple, James, the old opponent.

He knows Wang Chao's technical characteristics very well, so he immediately gets close to Wang Chao as soon as he comes up, using his body to constantly oppress Wang Chao and prevent Wang Chao from shooting three-pointers easily.

But this is not a 1v1 duel after all.

Just when James was concentrating on marking Wang Chao, Wang Chao suddenly moved quickly to one side.

James was about to follow immediately, but bumped into Dayao's arms first.

Pick and roll screen!

Dayao's huge body completely blocked James, Wang Chao hid behind Dayao, raised his hand towards the basket and shot.

I have to say that Dayao's pick-and-roll quality is really good. The left side blocks James, and the right side also blocks Howard who wants to make up the defense. Wang Chao shoots from behind Dayao. The feel of Curry shooting off the pick-and-roll in his prime.

This is also thanks to Wang Chao, who is 2 meters tall and has a prominent wingspan. Otherwise, if you are replaced by other shorter guards, the 06-meter Yao Chu in front of you is almost as good as a defensive player. up.

"Shh-!"

The clear sound of brushing the net sounded, and the fans in the audience immediately cheered loudly.

Wang Chao used his best offensive method to score the first score of the game for the Huaguo men's basketball team, 3:0.

The US men's basketball team attacked.

Kobe singles Sun Yue with the ball.

Although he is inferior to Kobe in all aspects, Sun Yue has only one advantage, that is, he is taller than Kobe at 2 meters.

Sun Yue's strategy for defending Kobe is very simple. If you don't want to prevent shots, you can break through. Anyway, after you pass me, you still have to consider how to deal with Dayao at the basket.

FIBA's three-point line is nearly 1 meter closer than NBA's, which also makes FIBA's inside line much narrower than under NBA rules. The inside line is very crowded, and when players on both sides are in good positions, it is difficult for even the top ball-handling breakthrough masters in the NBA to easily break through to the basket.

Kobe tried to break through with the ball, passed Sun Yue in one step and rushed inside the three-point line, and immediately discovered the problem. Only two steps after breaking through from the outside, he was almost in front of Dayao, and at this time Not only is Dayao in front of him, but Ah Lian on the other side is also eyeing him.

Faced with this situation, Kobe decisively threw the ball to the outside. Anthony, who was outside the three-point line, quickly made a three-pointer after receiving the pass. But before he made the shot, Wang Chao, who was defending for the United Arab Emirates, arrived in time. Raising his hand interfered, causing Anthony to miss the shot.

"Huh? Something's wrong?"

Howard was the first to notice something, his brows were slightly frowned, and his eyes were fixed on Wang Chao.

As a teammate of the same team, Howard can be regarded as the person who knows Wang Chao best in this arena, and when Wang Chao caught up with the defense at that moment, the speed and explosive power displayed were obviously faster than Wang Chao before. Not a lot.

It is precisely because of this that Anthony was caught off guard and missed the shot due to interference.

It's only been a month and a half, why did Wang Chao's speed increase again?

Full of doubts in his heart, Howard jumped up to grab the offensive rebound, but was protected by Dayao's defensive rebound.

The basketball was passed to Wang Chao immediately, and the latter quickly advanced towards the backcourt of the American men's basketball team with the ball.

"So fast!"

This time, the hearts of all members of the American men's basketball team were terrified.

Wang Chao advanced with the ball at a very fast speed, walking like flying, and left his teammates far behind. On the side of the American men's basketball team, James, Kobe and Anthony returned to the defense in time.

"1 vs. 3 in the frontcourt. It's a pity that there is no chance for a fast break. At this time, Wang Chao should stop for a while and wait for all his teammates to come over and take a good position before reorganizing the attack..."

Before Director Zhang could speak, Wang Chao suddenly stopped, then jumped up on the spot, and threw the basketball to the basket.

"Oh! Wang Chao is too anxious. He is 2 meters away from the basket and is still moving fast. How can this kind of shooting be possible?"

James, who was not far away from Wang Chao, frowned, and immediately braked to stop and stepped forward to defend. His reaction was already very fast, but because Wang Chao charged forward with the ball so fast just now, he retreated to the defense. The speed is not slow. At this time, the brakes are slammed and the front is still half a beat slower.

The basketball flew out a second before James' finger was about to touch, drew a beautiful parabola in the air, and then smashed into the basket.

"Oh!"

Although the sound of the basketball hitting the rim and bouncing into the net is not as pleasant as the hollow net, the sound is clearer.

"Wow—!"

There was an uproar in the stands, followed by deafening cheers.

In the online event live broadcast room opened by a certain wave, various comments frantically appeared like swiping the screen.

"666!"

"Super brother awesome!"

"Amazing! That's amazing. As expected of Wang Chao, he scored two three-pointers in a row, making the American men's basketball team helpless!"

"6:0 fantasy start, is this a game against the American dream team? Isn't it against Singapore in the Asian Games?"

"Brother Chao is mighty and domineering! Let's see who dares to talk about Brother Chao's professional attitude again? What happened to picking up girls before the Olympics? Labor and management can still beat the American men's basketball team with girls! Just ask if you accept it!"

The game continues.
