Soul of the Golden State

Chapter 733
At 7:25 p.m. on July 8th, the eyes of the whole world were on the Montjuic Stadium in Barcelona, ​​Spain. Communication satellites over the Atlantic Ocean simultaneously used 32 lines to broadcast live to about 35 billion viewers on five continents.

Li Weisi and his dream team teammates, like athletes and coaches from other countries, stayed in the waiting area and watched the opening ceremony of this year's Olympic Games on TV.

The performance of the entire opening ceremony was quite outstanding, with a grand scale and full of national characteristics. Although it cannot be compared with the performance of the 08 Olympic Games, it is still much better than the opening ceremony of the Underworld Olympic Games 29 years later, right?

Among them, the creativity of the ignition ceremony can be called the most in the history of the Olympic ignition ceremony, that is, the two-time Paralympic archer Ann Repolo, 70 meters away from the flame tower, put the fire through the archery Way, ignited the flame on the 21-meter-high tower.

Of course, the "ignite" is in double quotation marks, because in fact, when the bow and arrow reach the top of the flame tower, the flame tower has already been set.

However, even so, such an ignition ceremony is still surprising.

Especially when Li Weisi saw Lei Bolue successfully lit the torch, he couldn't help but applaud him in front of the TV.

"Brother Li, this guy is really amazing!" The first power forward Ma Jian, wearing a handsome white suit, suddenly appeared in front of Li Weisi.

I have to say that the uniforms of the national team this year are quite good-looking. The women's uniform is a tomato-colored top with a white skirt, while the men's uniform is a handsome white suit, which looks extraordinarily energetic. Not to mention the clothes of the head waiter in the restaurant in 21 years, even compared with the scrambled eggs with tomatoes in previous years, it looks much better.

"Well, yes... Hey, why are you here?" It took Li Weisi a while to realize who the person beside him was.

No way, Li Weisi could hardly recognize this dress by accident.

"Hey, it's not just me, our teammates have seen you, but the team leader won't let you come over, so I secretly said that I need to go to the toilet, and come here to say hello to you." Ma Jian said to Li Weisi with a smile.

In fact, Ma Jian lied here. He didn't come here for everyone, but came here by himself.

For Li Weisi, Ma Jian is very grateful. Ma Jian has benefited a lot from playing at the University of Utah for a year. Although he did not participate in this year's draft, he still feels the improvement of his strength.

In fact, among the Chinese players who came to study in the United States this year, only Hu Weidong participated in the draft and was selected by the Bulls with the 12th overall pick in the second round. The others did not even have the courage to participate.

No way, if you participate in the NBA draft, you will lose your qualifications to participate in the NCAA. If the NBA is not selected by then, it will be a complete chicken and egg fight, and the gain outweighs the gain.

Therefore, the reason why Ma Jian ran over secretly was to get closer to Li Weisi, and instantly became familiar with other players of the Dream Team. Maybe in the future, there will really be his own boss!
"I'm fine, thank you, and you should go back quickly! I think you're going to enter the arena soon." Li Weisi, of course, didn't know the entanglements in Ma Jian's heart, but urged Ma Jian to go back quickly.

Seeing the Dream Team players around them all focused on the TV, Ma Jian also knew that staying here would be useless, so he agreed, "Okay, I'll go back right away, Brother Li, if you're free recently , if you have nothing to do, you can come to our team's resident for a walk, the teammates still miss you very much."

"Okay, I'll definitely go there if I have the chance." To be honest, Li Weisi still liked the players he had taught, and didn't think there was anything inappropriate, so he simply agreed.

After receiving Li Weisi's affirmative answer, Ma Jian was very happy, and quickly thanked Li Weisi a few times, then trotted away towards his team.

Soon after Ma Jian left, it was time for the athletes to enter the arena, and the whole backstage suddenly became chaotic.

Not long after, it was Li Weisi's turn. He walked out of the tunnel and came to the stadium. Seeing the audience cheering for him, Li Weisi felt the charm of the Olympic Games, the world's largest event, for the first time.

The next day, before the Dream Team's first game, the Dream Team will first attend a media press conference.

Nelson led five stars to appear at the press conference today. In addition to Joe Lee, there was another person, Barkley.

That's right, as the dream team's first game in the Olympics, Nelson finally couldn't bear the urge to experiment. In fact, he used four starting lineups as early as in the Americas Championship, but in Nelson's view Come on, this is still not enough. With so many stars in my hands, I have to play a big one, right?

Nelson's so-called playing big refers to replacing Robinson with Barkley as the starting center.

Logically speaking, as the first game of the Olympic Games, everyone has the idea of ​​wanting to play as a starter, but like the first game of the Americas Championship, it is essential for the four major players to make a collective appearance, but Nelson is unwilling Then use the same lineup as before, so the only person he can move is Robinson.

In fact, the center forwards of the Dream Team are indeed extravagant. In addition to Robinson, there are Ewing and O'Neal. However, Nelson didn't choose any of them. He chose Barkley, who didn't even have 2 meters.

Everyone was stunned when they heard the news, and asked Nelson what he thought.

And Nelson said, "Barkley's recent performance is very good, and his qualifications are sufficient, so he is the perfect candidate for the fifth player."

Although there is nothing wrong with what Nelson said, everyone always feels that this is not what Nelson really thinks.

Fortunately, no matter who is sent to the field, everyone believes that the winning team will be the dream team. After all, for the vast majority of people, let alone the Angola team, it is the country of Angola. Hairy.

And at the press conference, when a reporter asked Barkley: "What do you know about Angola?"

Barkley replied like this: "I don't know anything about Angola, but Angola is in trouble!"

It has to be said that journalists from other countries are somewhat surprised by such harsh words before the game.

After hearing Barkley's speech, they first laughed, and then quietly wrote it down, and the next day, the overwhelming news reported that Barkley provoked opponents.
