beast basketball

No matter how intimidating and tempting Stephen is, Yao Ming still refuses to admit that he has any relationship with the Australian female basketball player named Lauren Jackson. He only admits that the two parties just know each other. The explanation is: "Probably I am more eye-catching".

Lauren Jackson is 1.9 meters [-] tall, which is considered a standard inside player height in women's basketball. It cannot be said to be very beautiful, but she is also above average. At least in Stephen's opinion, she is more beautiful than Yao Ming's current one. Maybe it's because beauty is in the eye of the beholder, or maybe Stephen's vision is too high.

At that time, there were too many people and it was too chaotic. Stephen only thought that the other party looked familiar, but he didn't remember it. Later, when someone mentioned her reputation, Stephen remembered that she was not a player of the Seattle Storm. He had seen her several times. But he didn't speak.

Perhaps in the future, Yao Ming can be hooked up. Although Westerners are open-minded and informal, it seems a bit wrong to hug in public and use both hands.

After struggling in the qualifying round, the three teams that finally entered the Olympic group stage were Croatia, Greece and Germany. The second group was Germany and Greece. Compared with the Croatian team, these two teams They were all a bit strong, and the situation in the second group became even more chaotic.

However, it is really embarrassing to see that Greece, which was able to compete with the US team in the World Championships in the past two years, has now fallen to the point where it is about to lose the qualifying round. However, the German team is sitting on Chris Kaman and Dirk Nowitzki's two outstanding insiders at the league level have also fallen to this point, which also makes people feel that things are impermanent.

Their problem is also the lack of external support, so they have stronger internal strength than the Chinese team, but they fell to the point of losing the qualifying game.

In this way, the two major groups are the first group: Lithuania, Argentina, Croatia, Australia, Russia, and Iran, and the second group is the United States, Spain, China, Angola, Germany, and Greece.

No matter who looks at this grouping situation, it will feel a bit too unfair. There are too many strong teams in the second group. You must know that except for the Chinese team, the teams in the second group are all top ten in the world. , Spain, Greece three world-class teams.

In the second group, there is only a strong team like Argentina, and the Lithuanian team has long since declined. As for the other teams, they are not even considered strong teams. FIBA ​​has no solution for such an unbalanced grouping situation.

Because if it was changed to before, there were only two strong teams, the United States and Spain, in the second group. Who would have thought that the Chinese team would advance by leaps and bounds to what it is now after having Stephen. The addition of a superstar player will definitely bring strength. growth, but no one thought it would grow to this extent.

And no one could have predicted that the Greek team would be assigned to this group, but such a grouping was only unfair in the group stage, but once they entered the quarter-finals and the opponents of the two groups confronted each other, then It's time to take advantage again.

The competition system of the Olympic Games is a tournament system, with a single round-robin group in the front and a cup competition in the back. Six teams will determine four winners, and then they will fight against four teams in the other group. Elimination, then semifinals, finals.

Four out of the six teams are qualified, which is not a big problem for the current Chinese national team. Even if the opponents of the two strong teams, Spain and the United States, are excluded, the remaining teams can It is the Greek team that caused trouble for the Chinese team, and if they want to take the line, the Chinese team must first defeat the German team.

In the analysis of many experts, even if the strength of the Chinese national team has improved greatly, it is impossible to pose too much threat to the Spanish and American teams. Then the remaining four teams compete for two qualifying places, and Angola is the last What is not optimistic is that the German team, the Chinese team, and the Greek team compete for these two places.

The three teams have their own strengths. The German team is strong inside. The Greek team has a balanced lineup, high tactical quality, and tacit cooperation. The Chinese team has superstars inside and is the host. Many people saw the German team being eliminated. China The team and the Greek team joined hands to enter the quarter-finals.

As for who is third and who is fourth, it doesn't matter, as long as they can get in, although the fourth has to face the No.1 of the other group, and the third only needs to face the No.2 of the other group, but the other group Among the strong teams, whether it is the Argentina team or the Lithuania team, they are all defeated by the Chinese team.

Many people have this kind of psychological advantage, because they beat Argentina and Lithuania, it doesn't matter if they beat anyone, but they didn't think about it. In this case, why not just go to fourth? Is it because they didn't win against Greece? , there is no such psychological advantage.

In fact, after playing so many games, Stephen has long since lost his original cautious attitude towards these international teams. Their strength is indeed good, but when it comes to athletic talent, it is indeed very different from the league teams. , Even if it is the Spanish team with the strongest strength and the most players in the league, their team's athletic ability cannot be compared with the teams in the league.

But their tactical cooperation is better, their tactical literacy is higher, and they play a different kind of basketball. Although Stephen is still adapting to it now, he does not think that with the current strength of the Chinese national team, That team needs to be feared.

As long as the tactics are proper and the state is good, the Chinese national team has the possibility of defeating any team, not only the Spanish team, but also the US team. Similarly, they also have the possibility of defeating the Chinese team, and the possibility is even greater , but that's no reason to lose.

The opponent of the Chinese national team in the first game is the extremely powerful US team. This is a bad start, because the Chinese team may start the group stage with a loss.

LeBron James called Stephen at the Intercontinental Hotel in Kyoto. The U.S. national team has followed the usual principle. Since the first league players participated in the Olympics, they have been enjoying separate treatment, because they are the most expensive group of Olympic players people.

In addition to greetings, LeBron James’ call also meant an afternoon call. He wanted to compete with Stephen on another battlefield, because in the league, he has grown from the undisputed new generation player No. 1 dropped to the second person position.

The relationship between the two people is a bit sympathetic to each other. Stephen admires LeBron James' ability and personal character, especially LeBron James' rationality and maturity, which are rare among young people and fit his appearance very well. .

LeBron James rarely makes mistakes whether on or off the court. He works hard enough, is in very good physical condition, and is so rational. Even if such a player is injured, it will not be too serious, so Stephen is very optimistic about LeBron James will become a long-term superstar player.

Stephen would like to make friends with such players, not those players who look very brave on the surface but play purely with their bodies. Having physical talent does not mean playing with their bodies completely. A player who only relies on his body is a career Life is bound to be short, and everyone is no exception.

The powerful Stephen of the U.S. national team is very clear, at least from the lineup. Dwyane Wade, Carmelo Anthony, Chris Bosh, and Dwight Howard are the superstars of the golden age, and there are young players like Chris Paul, Deron Williams, and Tyan Sharp Low-key players such as Lins, Carlos Boozer, and Michael Reid are more powerful than famous.

This lineup has almost no shortcomings except for weak internal strength and insufficient substitutes, and almost all of them are top-salary players in the league, and their internal weaknesses are hardly considered weaknesses, because they are old. Under the leadership of Coach K, they have always played with one big and four small, so they only need one inside player, Dwight Howard and Carlos Boozer are enough.

Carmelo Anthony often appears in the position of power forward, and the effect is still very good. With his body, he can face most of the team's opponents. The U.S. team pays great attention to the ability to shoot from the outside.

And their defense is not weak. Relying on their absolute physical advantage, they can keep the whole game pressed and use continuous interference to break your tactical launch. This is also the biggest problem of the Chinese national team. , How to fight against the US team, Jonas studied a lot, but did not come up with a very good answer. In the end, he only allowed the players to use their own personal abilities, and at the same time reduced the complexity of tactics, and did not compete with the opponent for speed, but the tactics should be simple. .

This is also a way to do nothing, and then take advantage of the opponent's disadvantage in height to hit the basket as much as possible. When Yunus communicated with Stephen on this point, Stephen also agreed that he has an advantage in this area, so there is no reason not to use it. There are three seven-foot-long men on my side, and none on the other side, so of course I have to use my height advantage.

The coaching staff is discussing how to deal with the U.S. team, and the players are also having a meeting to discuss how to deal with the game. To Stephen's relief, there is no player who is afraid of the strength of the U.S. team, and no one thinks that they cannot beat the U.S. team , although what he said was to cheer himself up, it was still very morale.

"They are delicate and expensive, what are we afraid of." This is what Sun Yue said, and the youthful vigor can be seen at a glance.

"We have an old saying that if you are willing to cut yourself to pieces, you dare to pull the emperor off the horse." This is what the veteran Li Nan said. Through these two sentences, Stephen felt that there is no chance of victory, the key is how to use it.
