Chapter 691 Dream Seventeen

Zhang Jianing's performance not only met the training standards of the US team, but even scored 5 more goals.

However, Zhang Jianing is not complacent because he has scored the most goals in the team. On the contrary, he does not think this is the limit.

"If it's him, how many shots can he make?" Zhang Jianing said he is the only Mu Chenfeng who has not returned to the national team. As one of the dual cores of the national team, Zhang Jianing has always been in the role of catching up with Mu Chenfeng. Although he is good enough, compared to Mu Chenfeng who went to the NBA Finals with the team, his achievements are far from enough.

"If you want to know how many shots Mu Chenfeng can make, you will know when you arrive in the United States." All members of the national team have reached the training standard. As promised, Fang Tianzheng distributed air tickets and tickets to the players.

The team members were very excited when they got the tickets and air tickets.

The United States has the league with the highest level of basketball, and it is a place that everyone who loves basketball yearns for.

However, this fascination is limited to the sport of basketball.

Three months after the end of the NBA Finals is the start of the Tokyo Olympics. As the Olympics approach, various countries have successively released the list of participants for the Olympics.

Among the 16 participating teams, a total of 3 teams from Asia will qualify for the competition. The two teams that have been determined to participate are the host Japanese team and the Chinese team that won the Asian championship and directly locked in the Olympic spot. The other team will participate in the losing competition.

Because the goal of the Chinese team is to win the championship, and the US team is the most promising team to become the opponent.

The FIBA ​​announced the list of confirmed participating teams one after another. The U.S. team is undoubtedly the one that has attracted the most attention. The dream team they established in the basketball field has dominated the project several times.

The strength of a team that can be compared with the "Dream Team [-]" and "Dream Team [-]" should not be underestimated.

The core members of the "Dream Team" are Michael Jordan, "Magic" Johnson, Larry Bird, Scottie Pippen and Charles Barkley and other NBA legends.

The "Dream Eight Team" is a "redemption team" formed after a dark period in American basketball. The core of the team includes Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Dwight Howard and other new generation league rulers. They won the final championship with an "undefeated record" in the Olympics.

Today, the U.S. Dream Team has been formed to No.17. Also before the birth of "Dream Seventeen", the U.S. team also experienced a difficult period. Although the U.S. team is still dominant, their dominance has been significantly reduced.

In order to restore the US team's dominance over the sport, the US Sports Bureau single-handedly formed the "Dream Seventeen", and the star of this team is James Bryant, the strongest player on the planet.

In addition to James, the names of Bruce Wade, Barrett, Chris, Jackson, Robinson, Oscar, Felix, Curry, Gaia and others also appeared on this list. This list still continues a tradition of the American men's basketball team, that is, there will be a "super rookie" in the team, so that the rookie will grow with the team and prepare for the "alternation between old and new" of the national team. The person is the NCAA supernova Christine, and this list of 20 people will eventually be reduced to 12 people, and it will be the final entry list.

Everyone has a chance, and everyone may be eliminated.

The selection criteria for the Dream Team are extremely strict. The coaches don't care about the resumes or reputations of the players. After establishing the core players, they will equip these core players with the most suitable players.

The members of the coaching staff of the US team also expressed their attitude. The legendary coach "Old K" who had retired after success was recalled to the national team and appointed as the head coach of the team. Old K was the head coach who led the "Dream Eight" to win the championship.

The strength of the "Dream Seventeen" configured in this way is extraordinary, which also confirms that the US team is not talking big. They did send the strongest lineup to compete in the Tokyo Olympics.

When he first saw the preliminary lineup of the US team, he couldn't help being startled, but then the smile on Fang Tianzheng's face gradually became clear, "This opponent is not bad."

"If we can beat this American team, will we be the strongest team in the world?" Liu Tianyu said with a cold expression.

"It seems that you have the same idea." Zhang Jianing has long been eager to try. Everyone in the US team's roster has super personal abilities. On paper, no team can compete with it. However, this is also the charm of basketball. No one can jump to conclusions without a game.

After the list was announced in the United States, it immediately aroused carnival among Americans, and some media even gave the headline "Is the game still worth playing? Just give us the award."triggered a global debate.

The lineup of Dream Seventeen is even more luxurious than the All-Stars. The All-Stars select 24 of the best players from the entire league, while the Dream Team cuts this quota in half to only 12 players.
