I’m Really Playing Basketball

BJ time, at 8 pm on August 8, 2008, Chen Xiao is now at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games full of pride.

This day is a proud moment for every Chinese son and daughter.

On the other side of the Pacific Ocean, the Lopez brothers, who had just signed with the Bobcats, were watching the opening ceremony of NBC's BJ Olympics live in front of the TV.

At this point in time, the opening ceremony has not yet started, and NBC's 2008 Olympics promotional video is now playing on the TV. These few minutes of promotional video comprehensively introduce China, the Great Wall, pandas, 5,000 years of Chinese history, Guilin's landscape, and the Chinese people. Olympic dream.

It has to be said that NBC is quite careful about promoting the 2008 Olympics.

Although the Lopez brothers really only know China more than basketball, Chen Xiao, Yao Ming, and at most the Great Wall and Pandas, they are still very involved in watching it.

“Brooke, the soundtrack for NBC’s Olympic promotional video is so great!”

After Little Lopez finished speaking in amazement, Big Lopez next to him couldn't help but nodded.

"Made me feel like watching the opening of Michael Jackson - History."

After a few minutes of promotional video, the opening ceremony officially began. As the opening ceremony began, the host of NBC began to introduce the efforts and work made by the Beijing side of the Olympic Games. At the same time, he also took the American audience to review the teachers and comrades. After some history of leading New China, he also talked about the obstacles the torch relay encountered in France, the United States and other places before the opening of the Olympic Games.

Of course, the most important thing about the opening ceremony is definitely the introduction of the program. Not to mention, the introduction by NBC hosts is really good.

For example, when the flag is raised, what do the 56 children represent? For example, when the scroll is opened, the host tells the American audience that this is the largest LCD screen in the world.

When the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games arrived here, these NBC hosts were still very normal, professional and calm.

Until, the movable type printing show begins.

When the movable type printing performance ended, the NBC hosts were stunned, and the Lopez brothers who didn't know much about Chinese culture in front of the TV were also stunned.

"It's unbelivalbe, how on earth did they do that?!"

At this time, Robin Lopez asked almost the same question as one of the NBC hosts.

Almost immediately after the question was asked, another host gave the most correct answer.

"Peoples!"

The opening ceremony of this Olympic Games entered a fairy-like rhythm starting from the movable type printing performance. Perhaps in China, the Chinese audience did not pay attention to these aspects because of their pride, and they were even more interested in the little girl Lin Miaoke. focus on.

But for the audience here in the United States, the magical programs in the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games are really incredible.

So much so that the host of NBC said excitedly after the performance of the opening ceremony: "I think tonight's opening ceremony is the best in history, unprecedented and unprecedented!

I don’t think anyone can question this opening ceremony now or in the future!

It's stunning, stunning, stunning! "

Three consecutive stunts really shocked the Lopez family in front of the TV. It is rare to see an NBC host lose his temper like this.

After all, they are not Barkley.

However, faced with such a gaffe from the NBC host, the Lopez family did not see any problem.

Originally, they just wanted to see Chen Xiao during the opening ceremony.

As for the rest, they have no interest at all.

In fact, most of the viewers who watch the Olympic opening ceremony have this mentality. They watch the stars who appear in the Olympic opening ceremony. As for the program of the opening ceremony, to be honest, it is incidental. It is a kind of curiosity. Don’t be so hellish. Watch Just be happy.

Obviously, the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics really shocked them.

“What a perfect opening performance!”

After the opening ceremony performance, naturally comes the much-anticipated entrance.

Not to mention, NBC’s hosts are really good, very professional, and also quite humorous.

For example, when India came out, the hosts began to collectively make fun of Indian sports, comparing the population of India with the population of China, and then comparing their results in the Olympics. This was simply unbearable. A certain NBC host He even laughed and said that unless there is a motorcycle event in the Olympics, India will never be able to compete for only one Olympic medal.

I have to say that in sports, there is really a consensus on insulting one's seal.

When Iraq entered the venue, the NBC host said that they were originally unable to come, but in the end the Olympic Committee withstood the pressure and brought them here. When he said that the Chinese audience at the scene gave Iraq great cheers and support, The director of NBC very interestingly switched the camera to Mr. and Mrs. Bush.

Quite good at playing.

When the U.S. team entered the venue, these NBC hosts introduced the U.S. team's past Summer Olympics results, saying that this time the U.S. Olympic delegation came to BJ to continue to seek defeat alone. After Big Brother is gone, Eagle Sauce It is indeed so confident that it is simply arrogant.

After the host expressed his outlook for the future of the U.S. delegation in this Olympics, he introduced some important star players of the U.S. team, the most important of which are those NBA stars.

And these people are also the original intention of the Lopez brothers to watch the opening ceremony.

Hearing the cheers for the NBA stars from the audience, the host wanted to introduce them one by one.

"Wonderboy and Yao have conquered many Americans, and our Kobe, LeBron, Wade, and Ron Howard have conquered more Chinese people!

We are getting the Chinese people used to our culture, our culture, our everything! "

In short, the eagle sauce won the hemp.

Looking at the reception that NBA stars received in China on TV, the Lopez brothers were really envious and looking forward to it.

"Robin, Brooke, you are playing next to the Wonder Boys now. As long as you work hard, you can also win their cheers in this mysterious country!"

The Lopez brothers were very excited, because this is fame and money!

Following Chen Xiao, as long as you work hard, you can gain fame and fortune, as well as championships and honors. This is why so many young people are willing to come to the Bobcats.

Many people say that it is more because of Jordan.

But they knew it was not Jordan, but Chen Xiao.

Finally, the Chinese delegation came out!

There is no doubt that for NBC, the focus of their introduction is all on the majestic flag bearer and the giant next to him.

"No one from any other country in the world is more suitable to be the Olympic flag bearer than Yao. If there is one, it can only be the Wonder Boy!"

NBC's commentary on the Chinese delegation focused on the people, Chen Xiao and Yao Ming, and on the team introduction, except for the dream teams such as table tennis and diving and weightlifting, almost all of them introduced the Chinese men's basketball team. .

"Under the leadership of Wonder Boy and Yao, the Chinese men's basketball team will complete the great cause of winning five championships in the history of men's basketball. The Chinese men's basketball team will, like the Chinese women's volleyball team, complete their own historical mission!"

When talking about this, the NBC live host even shouted in not-so-standard Mandarin: "A century-old dream!"

A century-old dream!

There is no doubt that this Olympic Games is a node and a new beginning for the Chinese people to fulfill their century-old dream.

At this time, the extremely proud Chen Xiao, Yao Ming, and the other Chinese men's basketball players next to them almost all felt like this.

"A century-old dream and national rejuvenation will live up to our time!"

For Chen Xiao and the others, they don’t know who will be the biggest enemy in the future for the motherland to complete its great rejuvenation, but they know that for them, if they want to live up to their time, their biggest opponent is Team USA!

After the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics, the whole world was immersed in the beauty and shock woven by the Beijing Olympics.

On the second day, Chen Xiao and the Chinese men's basketball team were still enjoying the attention of others in the Olympic Village with great excitement.

Let's put it this way, when the US team does not live in the Olympic Village, Chen Xiao, Yao Ming and the Chinese Men's Basketball Team are the biggest group of handsome guys in the Olympic Village.

Almost everywhere Chen Xiao, Yao Ming and the Chinese men's basketball team went, they cheered and took photos.

Logically speaking, this Olympics is so important to the Chinese men's basketball team, and the Chinese men's basketball players should take advantage of the last time to train hard.

But in fact, this is not the case. After the Chinese men's basketball team came to Beijing, apart from daily training, the team's coaching staff did not practice any more, and the players themselves did not practice any more.

Chen Xiao and Yao Ming took the Chinese men's basketball players, and after breakfast, they went directly to the BJ Shooting Range to witness the Chinese delegation's first gold medal.

Although the first gold medal match that started today was the women's 48kg weightlifting, half an hour earlier than the 10-meter air rifle, everyone knows that guns are fast, and although they start slower, the game ends earlier.

Therefore, Du Li's gold medal must be the earliest gold medal born in this Olympic Games.

In fact, at the Athens Olympics, Du Li won the first gold medal for the Chinese delegation, and this time she was still responsible for the first gold medal.

The task of winning the first gold medal in the local Olympics is really a big pressure.

This is really not something anyone can stand.

Whether it is Chen Xiexia or Du Li who competed in the women's 48kg weightlifting class before, they must be under a lot of pressure.

Under such tremendous pressure, some people will be unable to hold back and perform abnormally, while others will take desperate measures and do things that are unsportsmanlike.

Obviously, in this game, Du Li, who had high hopes from the national audience, could not withstand the pressure. She performed abnormally in the first shot. After the first shot failed, the pressure was even greater in the second shot, and she also performed poorly. After the shooting, I was already 2.5 rings behind the first place, and the championship was out of the question.

In the end, Du Li only ranked fifth.

For Du Li's performance in this game, Chen Xiao and Yao Ming not only respect but also sympathize.

Who doesn’t want to contribute everything to the greatness of the motherland in the local Olympics? However, sometimes it is like this. The more you think about it, the harder it is to realize your original dream.

Especially for shooting games, which require more mental quality and precision than basketball.

As Du Li failed to win the gold medal, the Chinese delegation lost its first gold medal in the Olympic Games.

Fortunately, good news came from the Chinese delegation. Chen Xiexia successfully won the 48kg women's weightlifting championship.

Well, in a sense, Chen Xiexia can also be the first Olympic gold medal, because it is the earliest Olympic final to start, although it is not the earliest to end.

And this is why Chen Xiexia and Du Li are under great pressure.

The two of them are the legendary double insurance.

After Du Li failed, Chen Xiao, Yao Ming and many Chinese viewers hoped that Chen Xiexia could withstand the pressure.

It seems that she really withstood it?

At least from this moment, Chen Xiao and the others think so.

And in fact...

Of course, this is something for the future.

Chen Xiao, Yao Ming and the Chinese Men's Basketball Team not only watched a shooting match on August 9th. On this day, Chen Xiao and Yao Ming took the Chinese Men's Basketball players to leisurely appear in various venues of the Olympic Games. For a while, Chen Xiao The Chinese men's basketball team led by Xiao and Yao Ming seemed to be like the dream team back then, becoming a whirlwind that swept through the Olympics.

Many people say that the Chinese men's basketball team is learning from the Dream Team. The Chinese men's basketball team feels that they have no opponents at all in their own games. What they want is not just to win the Olympic championship, but also want to be like the Dream Team. In that way, you will not only conquer basketball, but also conquer the entire Olympic Games!

"Conquer the entire Olympics!"

After seeing online reports about the Chinese men's basketball team, the U.S. team really felt a little offended.

Since when did our American team become such a noob?

The war is tomorrow, and you didn't work hard to prepare for the war today, but you were just wandering around.

You know, our American team has been preparing for the game in the hotel all day long. We have given up the custom of traveling from place to place and having fun!

In short, when the American team watches Chen Xiao and the Chinese men's basketball team at this time, it actually feels like other people watching Meng Yi.

"They're just playing!"

That's right!

"We're just playing."

Chen Xiao stopped and smiled and said to the reporter from the neighborhood next to him.

We are so easy!

However, for the American reporter who interviewed Chen Xiao, Chen Xiao's answer really made him panic.

Although the reporters from other countries nearby were not as panicked as the American reporters, they were still very uncomfortable.

Doesn't this look down on us?

"Are you really that powerful?!"

Is it really as strong as the Dream Team back then? !

At 10:15 pm BJ time on August 10, 2008, the much-anticipated men's basketball battle between China and the United States is about to begin at the BJ Wukesong Basketball Arena.

Chen Xiao, Chen Jianghua, Zhu Fangyu, Yi Jianlian, Yao Ming

Kobe, Wade, James, Chris Bosh, Howard

The five starting players for this game between the two teams stood on the court under the leadership of Chen Xiao and Kobe.

On the sidelines, Faye Wong, the head coach of the Chinese team, was smiling.

Coach K, the head coach of the American team, was slightly nervous.

The leaders, princes, and princesses of the countries next to them were surprised by the completely different expressions of the two teams.

"The American team is nervous, but the Chinese team is smiling relaxedly? Is this really a basketball game dominated by Americans?"

Soon, the commander-in-chief of a certain country who paid little attention to sports knew why.

As soon as the first quarter started, two three-pointers by Yao Ming and Chen Xiao kicked off the Chinese team's offense.

On the US team's side, it wasn't until there were just over 2 minutes left in the first quarter that the US team relied on Wade to break through Chen Xiao and get the US team's 16th point!

24 to 16!

Looking at this score, Barkley, who came to NBC as a guest commentator, exclaimed "amzing!"

Yes, incredible!

Barkley is in disbelief now, and the American audience in front of the TV is also in disbelief.

The U.S. team, which did not score a three-pointer in the first quarter, was unable to start the offensive rhythm in the Chinese team's positional battle rhythm.

On the other side, the Chinese team blossomed more. Yao Ming scored a three-pointer, Chen Xiao scored a three-pointer, Zhu Fangyu scored a three-pointer, and Yi Jianlian scored a three-pointer. Even Chen Jianghua not only forcibly broke through the opponent Kobe, but also passed by. The American players who came to cover up the defense completed a super single that shocked everyone!

The Chinese team, from the beginning, suppressed the American team!

"This is the current Chinese team!

This is the new basketball dream team! "
