Chapter 239: The Olympics (Skip it if you don’t watch the Olympics)

"Have you figured out what to do this summer?"

Kim Kardashian asked, with something flashing in her eyes.

"I'm going to compete in the Olympics this year, and I'll probably have to gather soon..." Jiang Dalin briefly talked about his itinerary, and then asked, "What's wrong?"

Kardashian said: "How about taking little Jiang Dalin back to see your parents? Your parents probably haven't seen him since he was born, right?"

Jiang Dalin was a little surprised: "Why are you suddenly so concerned about this matter?"

According to the family relationship in the United States, Kardashian should not consider this matter.

"Well... I just suddenly thought of it." Kim Kardashian hesitated in speaking. Seeing Jiang Dalin turn to look at him, she even avoided it in a panic.

"What are your plans for the summer?" Jiang Dalin did not dwell on this matter and changed the topic.

"Me? There should be a few parties to prepare, and then there is the recording of the third episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians... I have some time recently. If you want to take little Jiang Dalin back, I can also help."

That was a crazy hint, and Jiang Dalin understood it.

He didn't have any hesitation about this matter, and taking it back wouldn't explain anything. Another thing was that he really had to let Xiao Jiang Dalin meet his grandparents.

Jiang Dalin had this idea for a long time.

But considering how to take care of children is a hassle, and the season is still in progress, I have put it on hold.

Now that Kardashian said this, he felt that it was indeed a good time to go back. He happened to have some business and wanted to go back to China to check it out.

On the one hand, it's his sneakers, and on the other hand, of course, it's his "charitable foundation." Although he is the "hands-off shopkeeper," he also knows that if he doesn't look at it for a long time, something will definitely go wrong!

That's why he finds it troublesome to raise a child...

"However, if the child is taken back, he may be kept at home for a few days."

In other words, Kardashian will have to stay at home and take care of her children.

Jiang Dalin himself had to travel to various cities.

Not at home...

"Can you do it?"

"Ni, Nihao, Wo Shijin..."

What came back to Jiang Dalin was Kardashian's awkward Chinese.

Jiang Dalin also listened to it several times before he understood it.

"Oh!"

Jiang Dalin laughed out loud because of the accident, but he was really frightened.

"When did you learn that?"

"Recently, I hired a teacher..."

This was beyond Jiang Dalin's expectation.

That’ll do!

He didn't think this bit of Chinese would be of any use, but he was determined to see it.

Jiang Dalin didn't hesitate anymore and was going to take Kardashian back with him, and let the two elders see his first grandson.

When they got home, Father and Mother Jiang were really surprised and surprised. When they saw Kim Kardashian, they didn’t know what to say. Kim Kardashian greeted them in awkward Chinese and then responded with a smile.

.

Jiang Dalin didn't stay long and went off in a hurry.

However, in the past two days, Jiang's father and Jiang's mother called him from time to time, asking him to ask Kardashian what she wanted to eat.

It made him know what Kim Kardashian's taste is...

About two weeks later, after finishing his work, Jiang Dalin went back to pick up Kardashian and returned to Washington.

"By the way, I plan to launch a signature shoe for Christmas. I don't have any ideas yet. If you have time, can you help me think about it?"

Jiang Dalin told her his request on the way to the airport.

Kim Kardashian is pretty good at fashion.

Many of her clothing designs are deeply loved by the young generation in America. Jiang Dalin wants to make money in America, and he feels it is necessary to learn some ideas from this "socialite".

Kim Kardashian did not refuse and said she would send him an email in a few days.

Just like that, Jiang Dalin immediately went to Athens to join the China Men's Basketball Team.

In the past few days, the American men's basketball team has encountered a big problem!

Back in early June, before forming the U.S. team for the Athens Olympics, the USA Basketball Association sent out invitations to many famous superstars.

But many people refused the country's call for various reasons.

McGrady and Ray Allen were worried about the safety of Athens and refused;

Kidd and O'Neal wanted to treat their injuries from last season and refused;

Carter and Brand made American basketball officials somewhat disbelieving about their injuries. After all, if this injury risk breaks out, it will be really troublesome;

Then Bibby refused to participate, but did not give a suitable reason;

Kenyon Martin, who has just transferred back to the Rockets, is waiting for a free contract. He does not want to endanger his health by participating in the Olympics;

Garnett and O'Neal had already won Olympic gold medals and decided early not to participate in the Olympics;

Malone has a knee injury;

But what’s interesting is that Kobe chose to participate in the Olympics this time.

Oh, by the way, originally at this time, he had no choice but to choose not to go because of the lawsuit.

This time, because he had to concentrate on defeating Jiang Dalin, he avoided this matter.

Jiang Dalin couldn't help but mutter in his heart: You can't give me a fucking kiss, Kobe!

Hamilton, who originally did not participate in this Olympics, chose to participate.

In other words, someone can use the outside line after all...

It is worth mentioning that because Larry Brown is notorious, the person who plays the game this time is Popovich.

Therefore, this year's lineup is no longer as patchy as the original Meng Liu.

At least I have Kobe on the outside and Tim Duncan on the inside.

This lineup cannot be said to be bad...

The problem is...

The lineup of the China Men’s Basketball Team is even better!

This damn Dayao plus Dalin...

The three best centers in the NBA, two of them are in the China Men's Basketball Team.

This is still...

How to play!

After a tiring journey, Jiang Dalin successfully joined the rest of the China Men's Basketball Team.

The original lineup of the China Men's Basketball Team was: Yao Ming, Li Nan, Du Feng, Liu Wei, Zhu Fangyu, Yi Jianlian, Mo Ke, Battelle, Chen Ke, Zhang Jinsong, Zhang Yunsong, and Guo Shiqiang.

This time, neither Zhang Yunsong nor Zhang Jinsong was selected for the national men's basketball team.

Joining in their place were Jiang Dalin and Wang Zhizhi.

It can be said that this is the strongest Chinese men's basketball team in history.

It is also currently the strongest force that the Chinese Men’s Basketball Team can produce!

It is worth mentioning that this session was also the one where Dayao performed his best.

In all seven games, Yao Ming scored a total of 145 points, 65 rebounds and 10 assists, averaging 20.7 points, 9.3 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game.

He is the team's leading scorer and rebounder.

As the new leader of the Chinese men's basketball team, Yao Ming made a promise before the game not to shave until he reaches the quarterfinals.

However, the group match of the China Men's Basketball Team did not go very smoothly.

After losing to Spain 58:83 in the first game, his roar shocked the Chinese sports world.

It was also after this game that the Huaxia Men's Basketball Team showed their best form.

Of course, Yao Ming himself practiced it personally and performed world-class performances in the next two games won by the China Men's Basketball Team.

For example, in the key game against New Zealand 69:62 in the second game, Yao Ming played 35 minutes and scored 39 points and 13 rebounds;

In a narrow victory over world champion Serbia and Montenegro, Yao Ming played 40 minutes and scored 27 points and 13 rebounds. He was really the number one contributor to the men's basketball team's advancement to the quarterfinals.

In short, judging from the overall results, the original Huaxia Men's Basketball Team at least tied their best results, but it is a pity that they failed to create history.

It is also for this reason that later fans regretted it. It would have been great if Wang Zhizhi had participated in this series.

Fortunately, there won't be any regrets this time, because...

This time, everyone is really gathering in Athens to try hard to break history.

With his joining the team, the Huaxia Men's Basketball Team officially started special training.

The competition will start in August, and it is already around July, with only one month left. It must be said that time is not very generous.

During the training, Jiang Dalin's memory of other members of the China Men's Basketball Team gradually recovered.

Just like "Xiao Li Feidao" Li Nan.

He was also in this Olympics, and it was rare for him to have a stable helper next to Yao Ming who lacked helpers.

He is also the only player in this men's basketball team besides Yao Ming to average double figures in points per game.

However, Li Nan is indeed experienced. This Olympics is the third time that 30-year-old Li Nan has participated in the Olympics.

And he is also at the best stage of his career.

In all seven games, Li Nan played a total of 183 minutes, scoring 80 points, 18 rebounds and 7 assists. He averaged 26.1 minutes per game, scoring 11.4 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1 assist.

Among them, 20 of 46 three-pointers were made, with a shooting percentage of 43.5%. This is where the name "Little Li Flying Knife" comes from.

It is worth mentioning that in the first game against Spain, Li Nan scored a team-high 15 points.

Then in the life-and-death battle against Serbia and Montenegro, he scored the team's second-highest 14 points...

In short, Li Nan, who is stable and experienced, really takes a lot of pressure off Yao Ming.

Except him...

Among several other familiar names...

Liu Wei averaged 5.5 points and 2.4 assists per game;

Du Feng averaged 3.7 points and 3.2 rebounds per game;

Moko averaged 6 points and 4.2 rebounds per game;

Yi Jianlian averaged 1.8 points and 3.2 rebounds per game;

Zhu Fangyu averaged 5.3 points and 2.8 rebounds per game;

Battle, who returned as an NBA player, played a total of 65 minutes and scored a total of 12 points and 13 rebounds...

But his problem is different from other people's problems.

He belongs to...

As a result, Yao Ming was cured.

After this national team, he has not been selected for the national team again.

Jiang Dalin and Wang Zhizhi have both joined the team this time, so he probably won't...

Is it staged anymore?

But it doesn't matter. For the Chinese Men's Basketball Team this time, he probably won't have a chance to play.

In fact, from this lineup and the original performance, it can be seen that this Chinese men's basketball team only has two players at their peak, and the others have not yet grown up.

Being able to reach the top 8 can really be described as a miracle.

But because Wang Zhizhi is missing, people can't help but feel that they can still take one step forward.

But in fact, it’s quite difficult.

The month of training ended soon, and the Olympic Games officially arrived.

The Chinese men's basketball team will soon usher in a game against Spain.

The loss in this game was quite miserable.

It was also in this game that Yao Ming threw the towel angrily and allowed Pau Gasol to dunk one.

It is worth mentioning that in this original Olympic Games, Spain was considered the "old unlucky guy".

They are in Group A with the Chinese Men's Basketball Team, New Zealand, Italy, Argentina and Serbia and Montenegro.

In the group stage, Spain won all five games, and even Argentina, which eventually won the Olympic Games, was defeated by them.

However, Spain, which qualified first in the group, never expected that the dream team in Group B would be so poor. In the end, they only advanced to the knockout rounds as fourth in the group. Therefore, Spain had to advance to the quarter-finals as early as possible.

Faced with a powerful opponent like the Dream Team, they finally lost 94 to 102.

Under the schedule at the time, Spain had no choice but to fight for seventh or eighth place, and finally defeated the China Men's Basketball Team and finished seventh.

The result was that Spain only lost one game, but finished in a miserable seventh place.

I can really only say one thing...

Unlucky guy!

Even Harris, the coach of the Chinese men's basketball team at the time, complained about Spain.

I think they should compete for medals.

As a result, due to the arrangement of the competition system, they could only play in the ranking matches for seventh or eighth place.

The most crucial point is that Argentina, which lost to Spain in the group stage, won the championship!

However, Spain, which defeated them, could only be ranked seventh. No wonder they felt it was a pity!

Pau Gasol, on the other hand, is very open-minded: "(The competition system has a certain impact on the rankings), but it is not the main factor. The blame is that we performed abnormally in the game against the US team and made frequent mistakes. We deserve to be ranked seventh.

.In fact, there is no difference between seventh place and fourth place."

From here you can see the entire mentality of Pau Gasol.

It is said that Spain has officially entered the "golden generation" starting from this session.

All in all, this is a very difficult team to play against.

Jiang Dalin had already seen Spain’s list:

Forwards: Gasol, Lienge; Rodriguez, Rejes, Espinosa; Paraiso Gonzalez, Lopez-Morest;

Defenders: Jimenez, Vazquez, Cabañas, Gavajosa-Chaparo, Navarro;

Pau Gasol needs no further introduction. Anyone who follows the NBA will be familiar with this person.

Raul Lopez may be known to fewer people.

In fact, he was also drafted in the NBA...

It’s just that life is not very good...

He was selected by the Jazz with the 24th pick in the first round of 2001. It was not until June 9, 2002 that the Jazz signed a three-year contract with him.

Then, due to severe trauma to his right knee in a game in November 2001, he continued to have injuries and treatments, and missed the entire 2002-03 season.

So much so that his resume in the NBA is: 4 games and 2 starts in the NBA.

Later he returned to the Spanish top flight.

Averaged 6.9 points, 2.9 assists, and 2.8 rebounds per game in 9 games. Averaged 10 points, 3.3 assists, and 2.0 rebounds per game in 4 European League games for Real Madrid.

There’s also a Navarro…

Nicknamed "The Bomb"...

Later, when he played for the Grizzlies, Mike Conley was his backup for a time.

From this resume, we can actually see that Spain's overall strength is not weak.

It was normal for the Chinese men's basketball team, which did not have Wang Zhizhi and had Battelle to train without peace of mind, to lose to them...

After all, this is the team that defeated world champion Argentina.

"beep!"

As the referee's whistle blew, Jiang Dalin's first international match officially started!

Dry!
