Soul of the Golden State

Chapter 744
In the end, the Dream Team teammates headed by Jordan still played cards all night. Among them, the most important point was naturally because Li Weisi and Peter went back to sleep early.

This is not cowardice, but a kind of respect for other people's living habits, um, respect!
In this way, the game continued until a quarter past six the next morning.

After the game ended, Jordan went back to his room to take a shower, changed his clothes, and went out to shoot a promotional video with the people from NBA Entertainment Company. Li Weisi, who had a good night's sleep last night, was also with him.

This promotional video is actually very important, and the shooting time was very long, from morning to afternoon, during which time, Jordan couldn't tell that he just stayed up all night last night.

After finally finishing the filming, Jordan still had no intention of going back to the hotel to sleep. After pretending to be polite with Li Weisi, he left Li Weisi and ran to the outskirts of Barcelona to play golf.

After playing 18 holes, I went back to the hotel to change clothes, and then went to the arena with the team.

The formation of the day is so close, and the energy of the whole body is so full, this is the real master of time management, talent and hard work are indispensable.

After arriving at the arena, Nelson did not arrange for the players to train, but took the players to watch a game video together.

The game is very old, it was the 1972 Munich Olympic men's basketball final, and the picture quality is not clear.

However, this tape was hard-won. This morning, Nelson went to find NBC Sports President Dick Ebersol and got it from him.

Of course, Ebersol was notified by Nelson long ago and prepared in advance.

Regarding this game, there has been constant controversy, especially in the last three seconds of the game. The referee changed the judgment twice, causing the Soviet Union to get 3 shots, and finally caused the US team to lose the gold medal with 50:51.

In the eyes of the Soviet Union, this was a great game. He created a miracle and broke the saying that basketball is an exclusive sport for Americans, so that 46 years after the end of the game, the Soviet Union disintegrated, and the successor, Russia, There is also a "Lore Munich" movie to commemorate their great victory.

But unlike the Soviet Union, in the eyes of the Americans, this game is ugly and insulted. In their eyes, this is a black whistle. Therefore, when the game is over, they refuse to recognize the result of the game and refuse to receive the silver medal. At the same time, it has become an eternal pain in the hearts of Americans.

And Nelson took out the videotape at this time, naturally with ulterior motives.

All the players watched the entire videotape attentively, especially at the last moment, when the referee kept giving the Soviet team a chance. Seeing that the Americans had already left the field, they were called back to re-match. The long pass, catch the ball, take off, layup, hit the board, enter the frame, the ball enters the whistle, and the game is over.

After watching the videotape, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Everyone knew the result of such a game long ago, but every time they saw it, they still couldn't help but feel angry.

At this time, Li Weisi suddenly said: "What's the good atmosphere here? After all, they are too weak. As long as we lead the opponent by double digits, we will never let such a thing happen."

Hearing Li Weisi's words, everyone's eyes lit up, yes!In the final analysis, they are still too weak!
So, next, everyone cheered up and said that they would win the game through their own efforts, instead of pinning the victory of the game on the referee.

Seeing that the players reached such a consensus, Nelson was very relieved, thinking that his preparation for this video tape was not in vain.

Unlike the dream team's united will, the Croatian team obviously does not have such a big heart.

As early as two days ago, after the Croatian team narrowly beat the CIS team by one point, the Croatian head coach said: "Today is our final." Such words.

It can be seen that even the head coach of Croatia thinks it is wishful thinking to defeat the dream team in the final and win the championship. After all, the disastrous defeat in the group stage is still vivid.

Before the start of the game, the two sides had a final warm-up. Whether it was the Croatian players or the players of the dream team, they were somewhat out of their minds.

In fact, although everyone is united and determined to win the Olympic gold medal, in fact, everyone knows that there is no suspense about the outcome.

At this time, they were already tired of Barcelona, ​​and even Barkley didn't bother to hang out on the Las Ramblas where he used to go before, and spent all day playing cards in the hotel.

All they were thinking about was how to rest their tired bodies before the start of the new NBA season training camp, so when the game started, the Dream Team rarely fell into a disadvantage.

Unlike the betting before the last game, in this game, no one from the dream team will target Petrovic and Kukoc again, which also allowed the two to perform outstandingly at the beginning of the game.

Facing Jordan's defense, Petrovic no longer chose to forcefully single out with him, but let Kukoc play organization and score without the ball.

This effect is very obvious. After the start, he made 3 of 3 shots, and the offense went smoothly.

In contrast, Jordan's performance tonight was a bit mediocre.

It is no wonder that a person who has not slept for more than 30 hours has to face such a high-intensity exercise, which naturally requires a process of adaptation.

With Kukoc's second pass, assisting Lagarde to make a mid-range shot, Croatia beat the Dream Team 14:6 at the beginning. The maximum point difference behind.

However, not everyone in the dream team lacks energy and concentration. Li Weisi, who has extremely regular living habits, has not been affected by his biological clock. When he was very weak again, he finally took action.

Facing Zvetchanin's defense, this time Li Weisi did not give the ball to the magician to control, but started to play one-on-one.

Such a sudden change in the established tactics did make the players of the Dream Team stunned for a moment, but then everyone reacted and understood Li Weisi's intentions.

At the moment, without any hesitation, everyone immediately opened up space for Li Weisi to play singles.

Standing at the top of the arc, Li Weisi made continuous small changes of direction and easily broke through Zvetichanin's defense. However, breaking through at this position is easy to be assisted by defensive players, and Li Weisi is no exception at this time .

Seeing that the defenders were about to feel that Li Weisi didn't continue to rush towards the penalty area, but directly took a step back after the breakthrough, came out of the three-point line, and then didn't wait for a moment, pulled up and shot.

The basketball fell into the basket with great precision, and a three-pointer was scored!When the dream team is at a disadvantage, there will always be someone who stands up, and tonight, it seems that the person who stood up was replaced by Li Weisi.
