NBA: I'm really not a point guard god

If there is anyone on the U.S. team who wants to win this Olympic championship the most, it must be James.

This title originally belonged to Kobe.

Prior to this, Kobe was the person in the U.S. team who most desired the Olympic championship.

Kobe's ability to lead has always been questioned.

Although, he already had 3 championships and an Olympic championship before this.

Moreover, everyone will admit that Kobe was the one who performed best when he won the championship in 2004.

Even the 2004 Olympic champion, Kobe was the hardest working member of the team.

However, because of the internal relationship with O'Neal.

Those four championships are still largely not considered to be won by Kobe's leadership.

What's even worse is that the Lakers left O'Neal and failed to achieve any decent results for two consecutive years.

Although they reached the finals last year, they still lost the tiebreaker.

Someone has long said that without O'Neal, Kobe would have no championship to win.

You know, Kobe is the most arrogant, how can he stand such remarks.

He is about to turn 30 now.

At the peak of his career.

The team has always been supportive of him.

Invited back championship coach Phil Jackson.

The Lakers' lineup configuration should also be considered good.

For this year's championship, Kobe is extremely eager.

Of course, if there is an opportunity, the Olympic champion will not miss it.

But now everything has become different.

Not to mention that Kobe was injured in the last game of the Finals.

The fact is that Kobe has led the team to the championship alone.

And they still defeated O'Neal's Heat to win the championship.

As a mere Olympic champion, Kobe no longer takes it seriously.

That is, of course, if there are no injuries.

Kobe will also fight for it with all his strength.

But since he was injured, Kobe just gave himself a day off.

Vanessa had long been promised to go to Hawaii for a vacation.

By the way, you can also stop by Niu Le after the holiday.

Since he is not on the roster, Kobe naturally doesn't pay much attention to the Olympics.

But Niu Le still wants to go.

It is said that the latest new energy vehicles have rolled off the assembly line.

Acceleration from 5 kilometers to kilometers can be completed in seconds.

As one of the shareholders, Kobe also wanted to see how the new car developed by the company was doing.

Then we have to rush to Charlotte.

There's also a new movie in the works.

Of course Kobe is not the protagonist this time, but Kobe is still very willing to play a role in this movie that is scheduled to be released during the Lunar New Year.

I originally thought I could relax after winning the championship.

Now it seems that the formation is still very tight.

……

Same as Kobe before him.

Now James also needs this Olympic champion to prove his ability to lead the team.

Speaking of which, James is not yet 24 years old.

It has only been five seasons since he entered the league.

In fact, there was no need for him to be so anxious.

He is now recognized as at least a top-five player in the league.

Originally, as a player under 24 years old, he should have been satisfied with his current achievements.

However, James still felt the crisis.

They are all high school rookies.

In his fourth year in the league, Kobe had already won his first championship ring as the team's second-in-command.

Since then, he has won two more as one of the team's two core players.

This year's Lakers are strong.

But in fact, there is not even an All-Star except Kobe.

With such a lineup, Kobe still won the championship.

Kobe is only 30 years old.

Maybe, by the time Kobe can't lead the team to win the championship, he won't be able to win anymore.

Moreover, if Kobe is already 30 years old, James can still wait.

What about Zhou Yao?

Zhou Yaoke just celebrated his 24th birthday on the day of the Olympic opening ceremony.

That guy is only 4 months older than me.

Already 5 championships.

And look at how strong that guy is.

James even suspected that when he retired, that guy might still have the ability to lead the team to compete for the championship.

The only good thing is that this time the management finally did something.

Got Jr. in a sign-and-trade.

This is the best second-in-command in the league today, bar none.

With his addition, the Cavaliers' road to the championship next year should be much smoother.

Before that, he needs to use an Olympic champion to prove his ability to lead the team.

Because of this.

James was extremely angry at Coach K's stubbornness.

Indeed, this American team has a strong lineup.

Center Howard, Bosh.

Power forwards Anthony and Boozer.

Small forward James, Prince.

Shooting guards Wade, Reed, Allen.

Point guards Paul, Williams, Kidd.

Every player at every position would at least be a starter on any other team.

Of course, this lineup is also a bit embarrassing.

After all, of the 12 people on the team, only Boozer has actually won a championship.

In contrast.

Most people believe that the only opponent of the American team is the Chinese team.

The Chinese team has the most six NBA players besides the American team.

In fact, four of their players have won championships.

In James' view, this first battle with the Chinese team is almost equivalent to the final.

Everyone must show their full strength.

If you are a little careless, you may fall behind at any time, or even lose the game eventually.

It's a pity that head coach K actually sent Paul to start.

"No wonder after being a head coach all my life, I still only dare to stay in college basketball!"

James couldn't help but secretly curse.

Although Coach K has many reasons for not wanting to come to the NBA, there are also many famous coaches who have never been to the NBA in their lives.

However, if anyone can hear James's voice, he will definitely give him praise.

It's not that Paul isn't good enough, but how can he be the starting point guard against the Chinese team?

You just haven't seen that high school showdown in North Carolina.

Paul has been in the NBA for so long, and what a ghost he looks like every time he plays against the Bobcats. Even if he has never seen it, he must have heard of it!

How else would you get along in the basketball circle!

Moreover, Zhou Yao stole the ball from Paul at the beginning of the game.

Then he assisted Wang Zhizhi and hit a three-pointer.

This is the traditional model in which the Chinese team has achieved good results in the previous three international competitions.

Putting a center on the outside to shoot three-pointers for a long time is something that no national team dares to do.

However, the Chinese not only did this.

And he was a two-time champion and a runner-up.

It is the national team with the best performance in the past few years, bar none.

Howard's defense is very good, but Howard can't defend outside the three-point line.

The point is, Zhou Yao really restrained Paul...
