Chapter 486 485: The most high-profile game in basketball history (please vote for me!)
August 24, 2008.
Perhaps the most high-profile game in basketball history is about to be played at Wukesong Stadium.
Hundreds of millions of Chinese and tens of millions of Mi Li's family members are paying attention to this game.
As one of the on-site commentators, Mike Breen came to Wukesong and was struck by the suffocating atmosphere.
He casually looked up and saw that the scene was no longer about the bright stars. It was not unusual for celebrities to be on the sidelines.
Anywhere you look at the scene, you can see dignitaries from various countries.
Both Bushi and his son were present. This was probably the most high-profile night besides the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games.
The significance of this game has transcended the basketball game itself.
It is no exaggeration to say that this is a war in the civilized era.
This is the scene of the 2008 BJ Olympic Men’s Basketball Finals!
That's right, the final.
As expected, the Dream Team and the world dominant Chinese team met in the Olympic finals.
Although the Chinese team and the Dream Team have been competing against each other for many years, this is actually the first time the two teams have met in the finals of the World Series since 2000.
There is no way. In the 2002 World Championships, the 2004 Olympic Games and the 2006 World Championships, the dream team was eliminated early.
Can't even get the top three.
This time the two sides finally met in the final, which shows how popular this game is.
Let alone the NBA Finals, there have been few such high-profile games in the entire history of human sports.
The dream team's promotion journey was very smooth, passing all the hurdles and entering the finals with a complete victory record.
The Chinese team lost one game to enter the finals.
The game they lost was exactly the opening game against the Dream Team.
In the opening game, the Dream Team showed strong dominance.
This team composed of "the best players" is indeed different from before.
Kobe shot completely from the outside in the first half, and a wave of three-pointers directly opened the score.
In the second half, Yunus sent Li Ang to defend Kobe. Kobe was restrained, but Ajan went crazy again.
Although Yao Ming was guarding the inside, James' forced layup in that game was very efficient.
Yao Ming was also fouled several times.
After five minutes of play in the fourth quarter, Yao Ming committed five fouls.
It can be seen that the old coach K's strategy is not to let the players avoid Yao Ming, but to meet the man and cause as much damage as possible.
After Yao Ming came off the court, the quality of the Chinese team's interior defense dropped a lot, and Li Ang had to devote part of his energy to defending the interior.
The result is obvious. The Mengba team flourished both inside and outside, taking away the game in one wave.
In the end, the Mengba team defeated the Chinese team in the opening game with a score of 96 to 89 and got a good start.
Kobe Bryant scored 21 points and Li Ang scored a game-high 33 points.
But there is no way, the dream team's obvious hard power is obviously stronger.
To be honest, losing only 7 points to the Dream Team 8 is actually a very remarkable result.
I think back in those days, when the Dream Team played in international competitions, they would win by dozens of points.
The Chinese men's basketball team has made great progress in this history.
But the situation is different now. In the original history, if we only lost to Mengba by 7 points, it would be called a defeat.
But now the Chinese team, as the world's hegemon, lost to the Dream Team at home in its opening game. This is called a rollover.
At the end of the game, the players of the Dream Team were as excited as if they had won the championship.
This redemption team finally completed redemption.
James is so happy, I finally won the championship over Li Ang, hahahahaha.
"Kobe, Kobe, when will the awards be presented!" James shouted excitedly.
Kobe looked at James speechlessly: "Geneva, this is only the first game of the group stage! Oh, I'm so pitiful for those of you who are crazy about the championship. Unlike me, I don't love anyone with three rings in my hand. If I get another one, I can chase Li Ang!"
Li Ang: Although I broke up again, I haven’t planned to give up on gender requirements! Don't chase me! If you give me a championship ring as a gift, I won’t agree!
We lost the opening game at home, so we all knew how embarrassed we were.
The next day, Mi Li's media had a collective carnival, and Kobe's reputation skyrocketed again.
After defeating Li Ang and Yao Ming respectively in the NBA, Kobe led his team to defeat the Chinese team in the Olympics.
This is simply the glory of the ancestors.
For a time, Kobe's popularity was unrivaled in Mi Li's hometown.
He was directly transformed into a national hero.
More and more people are beginning to discuss the difference between Kobe and Jordan.
Well, this discussion is actually quite reasonable.
After all, what they were discussing was how close Kobe was to Jordan, not how far he surpassed Jordan.
It can only be said that the media during this period was relatively restrained.
Unlike in the future, he will always be a super Jordan.
Domestic media also began to badmouth the men's basketball team. During this period, most domestic media were still in the stage of making money on their knees.
Give the dream team a lick, and give the men's basketball team a thumbs down.
As a result, the overall reputation is not very good.
Liu Xiang's withdrawal and the men's basketball team's loss in the opening game were a double blow that cast a shadow over the Olympics at home.
Fortunately, the Chinese team performed well in subsequent games.
The second game was against Spain. Although the Spanish team, which has formed a golden generation, is also very strong. But with Li Ang's omnipotent 36 points in a single game, the Spanish team eventually lost 89-99.
The Spanish team's twin towers may be able to contain Yao Ming slightly, but there is no point in the Spanish team that can contain Li Ang.
He scored 36 points in a 40-minute game, which shows how abnormally efficient this is.
In the third game, facing Angola, the weakest team in the group, Li Ang only scored 10 points.
Because he doesn't need to score points at all.
The rest of the Chinese team is enough to dismantle the Angola team's defense.
108 to 70, the Chinese team defeated Angola and won two consecutive victories after losing the opening game.
In the fourth game, the Chinese team's opponent was the German team, which was on the verge of elimination.
Nowitzki also wanted to make a difference in the international arena, while Kaman made wild claims that he could contain Yao Ming.
Kaman is indeed holding his breath to compete in the Olympics. He wants to prove to Old K what a wrong decision it was not to take him.
Needless to say, Kaman's performance in the first half of the game was indeed good, and he even had a back-and-forth with Yao Ming on the offensive end.
Kaman is not a muscular stick like Howard. His low post skills are very solid and his mid-range shooting touch is also very soft.
Of course, it is not ruled out that his eye-catching long hair style influenced Yao Ming. Although he obviously has a high hairline, he still has to pretend to be an artistic youth and grow his hair long. This is really Cassel opening the door for Cassel. He is so ugly. !
However, in the critical second half, Nowitzki was already smoking. When he needed help the most, Kaman performed a disappearing technique for Dirk!
On the defensive end, he was dunked in the face by Li Ang and hit by Yao Ming from left to right.
On the offensive end, Yao Ming blocked a shot and Sun Yue scored one from behind.
Needless to say, the Great Sage's back-up depth is comparable to that of Li Ang.
The Chinese team is an underachiever per capita.
In the second half, Kaman really lived up to his name, playing stuck and slow.
Playing in the Olympics gave me a bad feeling about playing street basketball, and my reactions were always slow.
Such a big living person, he disappeared in the second half.
In the end, although Dirk tried his best, he was still unable to defeat the four hands with two fists.
72 to 58, the Chinese team passed the German team without any danger and achieved a record of 3 wins and 1 loss.
Group promotion has been locked in advance.
Li Ang couldn't help but sigh. Once upon a time, it was easy for the Chinese team to reach the top eight in the Olympic Games.
Times have changed after all. In the past, being in the top eight was a win, but now being in the top eight is a basic requirement. In the past, I used to read novels by looking at the words, but now I read novels by looking at the pictures.
In this game, Kaman also proved with practical actions: Coach K made the right decision not to take him!
To be honest, Kaman is not miserable anymore. Before the start of the Olympics, Artest publicly stated that even if he was just guarding the water cooler, he hoped to be selected for the Dream Eight Team.
As a result, Mr. K didn’t like him at all.
Moreover, no team from other countries invited Artest.
Artest refused to accept it. After all, I am also the first, second, third, and fourth leader of the Bulls!
So no arrangement?
There were rumors before that the Bulls would amnesty Artest and then trade Li Ang. Rounding it off, I, Artest, was also the man to trade for Li Ang!
Do you just look down on me so much?
Kaman provoked Yao Ming with rude words before the game, but was beaten so hard that he didn't even recognize him after the game, so the long-haired white center was inevitably ridiculed.
Kaman was ridiculed by the crowd. Logically speaking, he had nothing to do with Li Ang. Li Ang could even apply for several alt accounts to join the group ridicule movement.
However, Li Ang was very worried when he saw Kaman fighting like this.
After all, Kaman is from the Clippers!
If nothing else, he will be the Clippers' starting center next season.
Damn it, this doesn’t seem to work.
Although Kaman has made the All-Star team in his original history, he averaged 18+9 per game in his peak season.
However, one thing is that the overall strength is still too average.
It's okay to play in a weak team, but it's really difficult to gain a foothold in a championship team.
Moreover, with his stuck and slow playing style, coupled with an old Dengtou whose athletic ability has seriously declined, the defensive end Li Ang may have to break his legs next season.
At this time, Li Ang had a very evil idea in his mind.
Since Ballmer is willing to listen to me, what if I ask them to trade Kaman?
I'm sorry, Brother Ka, it's not just Lao K who despises you, I despise you too!
After beating the German team, the Chinese team defeated Greece, its strong rival in the last Olympics, in the last group stage match and successfully entered the knockout rounds as second in the group.
Facing the already declining Croatia in the first knockout round, the Chinese team won easily.
In the semifinals against Lithuania, which has a rough style of play, the Chinese team also performed the traditional performance of "fighting and playing ball."
Because the Lithuanian team has always played rough, the confrontation between the two sides in this game was very fierce, with elbows and kicks being common.
Li Ang even gave the opponent a big blow, intentionally or unintentionally, during a fight for the ball.
In the fourth quarter of the game, FIBA's second plug-in Jaskovicius began to score points and once evened the score.
But then Li Ang used two consecutive three-pointers against the defense to tell Jaskevicius why he could only be the second plug-in in FIBA.
Because the number one cheat is me!
In this way, the Chinese team successfully reached the Olympic finals for the third consecutive time.
And tonight, their opponent is the only Dream Team that has defeated the Chinese team before!
This game attracted more attention than the opening game.
At the entrance of Wukesong Stadium, there were even female fans of the Mi Li family holding up signs asking for votes.
Don't talk about money. Isn't it superficial to talk about money?
If you are willing to give her the ticket, after watching the game, the enthusiastic Mi Li girl will naturally communicate with you in depth to express her gratitude.
At this time, there were many people as nervous as Mike Brin.
Yu Jiaguang was standing at the entrance of the players' tunnel, as if he could feel the vibration of the stadium.
They are all so nervous, which shows how nervous the players are.
The Dream Team was very nervous. Although they won once in the group stage, they were still very afraid of the strength of the Chinese team.
You know, the Dream Team has not won the World Series for eight years.
The last time they won the championship was in Sydney in 2000.
At that time, Internet cafes were still a new thing. At that time, Li Ang was only a first-year rookie.
That was a long time ago.
As a redemption team, if Mengba loses again this time, the pressure from public opinion will be unimaginable.
Not to mention the Chinese team. The Olympics are on their doorstep and they haven’t won the opening game yet.
Moreover, this game is of great significance. It can be said that the whole world is watching this ball.
It's okay to lose anywhere, but it would be inappropriate to lose face at home.
Although sitting in the locker room, the players could still hear the shouts coming from outside.
The scene was absolutely buzzing with people.
At this time, there was a loud noise outside.
And a staff member just walked into the locker room.
Yao Ming asked: "What's going on outside?"
"Oh, it's said that the head of the Mi Li family just went to the locker room to cheer for the players of the Mengba team. Good guy, the battle is really big!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone became even more nervous.
This game has so much meaning.
The commander personally went out to boost morale. This was clearly a pre-war mobilization!
Don't talk about other people, even Li Ang, who is used to seeing big scenes, is nervous.
Playing in the NBA is nothing more than carrying a team.
But now, he glanced at his red jersey. It is no exaggeration to say that this really bears the expectations of fans across the country.
Because Li Ang was nervous himself, he didn't make a pre-game speech like he did in the NBA.
When the game was about to start, everyone lined up to get ready to enter.
As a result, as soon as they arrived at the players' tunnel, everyone saw tens of thousands of five-star red flags waving.
I heard the fans cheering.
"Go ahead and win first place!"
"U.S. imperialism is nothing but a paper tiger, we are not afraid of them!"
The moment he saw the red flag waving, Li Ang looked back.
To be honest, at that moment, the players' state was completely different.
At that moment, there was no tension in everyone's heart, only boiling blood!
Li Ang also stood at the front of the team, jumped twice, and then clapped his hands.
"Go ahead and give some color to the best players!"
After that, Li Ang was the first to rush into the arena.
At that moment, he seemed to merge with the red color of the scene.
