Grab Curry at the start

Chapter 527 Olympic Games

"The Timberwolves play like this, it's all about giving away. The tactical level of the two sides is too far apart."

"Curry and George have been used like this by them. I still remember when Zhang Sixin coached the Timberwolves. The combination of the two was completely invincible. Tyronn Lue is too bad."

"It's hard to say. I like to watch Zhang Sixin lead the team to win the championship. It's a pity that they didn't sweep the championship this season."

"Witnessing the establishment of a dynasty team again, as a head coach fan is really happy."

"The Timberwolves haven't conceded defeat yet, and Curry missed consecutive shots, which is embarrassing."

"No, there is not enough time, and Curry is useless even if he hits next."

"The Knicks have won three consecutive championships, hahaha..."

Without miracle defense, after the Knicks took the lead in the third quarter, they have been taking the initiative on the court.

In the final quarter, their defense was solid, and the team successfully defended their title and won three consecutive championships.

"Tonight belongs to New York!" the narrator excitedly said.

Another bumper year for the Knicks, especially Leonard.

Under Zhang Sixin's system, Leonard has taken advantage of everything, and this time he is the FMVP again.

Moreover, he won the Best Defensive Player, the Best Defensive Team, and the Best Team.

He can be said to be a real Grand Slam this season, because he also won the MVP.

The Knicks' league-leading record helped Leonard beat Curry to become the most valuable player of the regular season.

For other players, Booker won the best rookie first team, Lowry the best team second team, Antetokounmpo the best defensive team second team, and the best team third team.

This summer, the Knicks don't need any big moves, just keep the lineup.

The team will only have the issue of player renewal next year. Zhang Sixin does not plan to trade in advance, and he will wait for another year.

The Hibbert team will definitely not renew the contract. The only addition to the team is to plan to win Siakam in the draft, which will be easier.

After dealing with the club affairs in June, Zhang Sixin returned to China in mid-July.

The national team training camp had started before he came back, and the higher authorities attached great importance to the Olympics.

The key is that with Zhang Sixin here, the men's basketball team may have the hope of winning the medal.

It's another large-scale training camp. After all, the players participating in Zhang Sixin's training camp will always improve, and Zhang Sixin doesn't mind bringing more players.

So the young ones, those in their prime, all ran over.

By August, the official national team will be announced.

The overseas team accounted for six, and Zhang Sixin added another guard, one inside, and four wings.

The strength of the national team is still not strong enough. If they want to make a difference in the Olympics, they will still play fast.

Defense can only be fought occasionally, which consumes too much energy, and most players of the national team still suffer a bit when facing strong teams in the international arena.

In addition, Zhang Sixin also kept a training team, divided into two groups with different characteristics, to help the national team conduct actual combat exercises.

Before the Olympics, the team also arranged to go to Europe to play a few warm-up games.

This time, the national team and Lao Mei are in the same group, so that's good. After the group appears, they may not meet the US team in advance.

The premise is that they don't pull their hips in the group stage.

To be honest, the national team has been assigned to a relatively strong group this time.

Needless to say, the US team, Australia, France and the upgraded version of Serbia are all very strong.

This time, Serbia has an extra Jokic.

Only Venezuela is weaker, this is a real dish, but the national team has never won in history.

To be honest, the UAE is not bad, but it is really not good to lead the team. He is a pure end point.

Now the Arab League of this national team does not need to bear such a big responsibility, but can let go.

The Olympic men's basketball group stage started relatively early, and the national team faced the United States at the beginning.

This American team is not the strongest lineup, many players did not come, but for other teams, it is definitely star-studded, and Zhang Sixin also has many disciples.

Neither side is particularly serious about this game, and the lineup is trying.

The U.S. team sent Irving, Clay, George, Durant and Cousins ​​to the starting lineup, which is a main offensive lineup.

Zhang Sixin dispatched a starter who studied abroad, Guo Ailun, Sun Yue, Ding Yanyuhang, Ah Lian and Zhou Qi.

Taking advantage of the group stage, Zhang Sixin also thought about how the five-man team he had promoted would perform in front of the US team.

Whether to let one of them play the sixth man depends on the situation in the group stage.

The national team took the lead in scoring, but there was a problem immediately, that is, they couldn't prevent the individual offense of the US team, especially Durant, George and Cousins ​​were also terrified.

On the contrary, Irving looks very strong, but with the help of defense, it can be restricted.

Cousins ​​can solve it by speeding up. In fact, he doesn't match well with the rest of the US team. He doesn't have defensive awareness and likes to grab the ball to grab outside players. But the lineup does have singles ability, and the national team must double-team.

But as long as the speed can be increased, the two insiders Cousins ​​​​and Jordan Jr. of the US team have a chance to be abolished.

The trouble is Durant, who can't flank all the way, because the US team can shoot too much.

Fortunately, the US team likes to play with the ball in several strong points, and the defense can be guided to let their players who are not in such a good state take shots.

Throughout the US team, Irving has organizational skills, but his pace is not as good as others.

Not only Irving, many players on the US team have this problem. After all, they are the bosses in their respective teams and are used to other people adapting to them.

This is the main reason why the US team is obviously very strong, and the international season sometimes overturns.

In fact, the U.S. team also has relatively stable players, such as Lowry and Chasing Dream Green, but they will not have so many opportunities, because sometimes too stable will not work.

When to be decisive and when to be steady, this is a relatively advanced knowledge.

When a different player is needed, that player may not necessarily be on the field, and a temporary replacement may take time to adjust, and the international season will not give people time to adjust.

So in the international arena, the players who get more chances are those players who can score when they come up.

But Zhang Sixin is hanging out, so it will naturally be different.

Depending on strength, the national team will certainly not be the opponent of the US team, but the Olympics are not without opportunities.

It's just that the group stage didn't find a good opportunity at the beginning. Durant made the national team more passive after a few moves.

But it's the group stage, Zhang Sixin doesn't plan to go all out, it's best to let the US team underestimate the enemy.

After all, the U.S. players are all in this tune now. They can't beat Zhang Sixin's team in the league, and they can take a good breath in the international arena.

They are more excited to play for the national team, but they are not cautious enough. Zhang Sixin must first let them be careless, and wait until the knockout round, and he will definitely not be merciless if he can steal one.

By the time they discovered the problem, it was too late.
