I’m Really Playing Basketball

At the Tokyo Olympics, the American team brought by Jordan is indeed extremely strong.

The two leading players of the Bucks, Durant and Curry, lead the team.

At the same time, the Heat's new MVP Rose brought Heat teammates Zach LaVine, DeRozan, and Adebayo to participate in the battle.

The Bucks and Heat were the two best-performing teams last season, and this time the U.S. team is mainly formed with these two teams.

In addition to the six players from these two teams, there are also Jayson Tatum of the Bobcats and DeAndre Jordan of the Jazz, who are direct descendants of Jordan.

The remaining four players include Mavericks player Dream Green, Wizards player James Harden, Suns player Devin Booker and Trail Blazers player Lillard.

Twelve players, all of whom were successful stars in the NBA during their playing years.

Of course, for the current international teams, if it is just like this, it will not make the international teams so afraid. In fact, the American team is the most afraid of the Chinese team and other international teams this year. The team has Durant.

Yes, one Durant is enough to make all international teams afraid.

Let's put it this way, in the international arena, Curry can be pinched, because the scale of international competitions is large. Although Curry is very accurate, the court space is small and it is difficult for him to run, while his opponents can be better. Chase and hit hard at the same time, and Curry is not tall enough, so his strong shooting ability will not be so incredible when facing strong opponents.

But Durant is different. FIBA's three-pointer is exactly the mid-range that Durant is best at, and Durant's height is on the outside, which makes him invincible. Even in FIBA, he is too high to defend. .

From 2002 to now, nearly 20 years ago, the strongest American team was the one with Durant.

The terrifying scene of Durant and Chen Xiao competing against each other in the Olympics is still vivid in my mind.

Therefore, FIBA ​​experts have always said that the two strongest players in FIBA ​​history are Chen Xiao and Durant, and Yao Ming and Jordan have to retreat.

Under such circumstances, Durant's participation in the Olympics this year is definitely an insurance operation for the US team.

Of course, for other teams, Durant's appearance in this year's Olympics was a surprise and they were shocked by the surprise.

But for Chen Xiao, he already knew that the US team was going to recruit Durant.

Therefore, the name of a very familiar person also appeared on the list of this year's Chinese team.

Chen Xiao!

Yes!

After Chen Xiao withdrew from the national team in 2012, the 39-year-old Chen Xiao chose to put on the national team jersey again after 9 years.

When Chen Xiao's name appeared in the lineup of the Chinese men's basketball team, the entire basketball world went crazy.

Fans here in China are even saying: "The supreme king of basketball, Adu, the god of death, commands the world, no one dares to disobey, and if God doesn't show up, who can compete with him!"

Now Durant is indeed very popular in the NBA. He has led the team to win two championships in three years. Now Durant undoubtedly stands out among the five princes and inherits Chen Xiao's throne.

Therefore, it is understandable for Chinese fans to make such jokes.

As far as Xiao Du's strength in the NBA and the legend he left behind in FIBA, it is true that if Chen Xiao does not come out, no one can stop him and the US team he leads.

Therefore, this joke made by Chinese fans quickly spread to all parts of the world.

So the question is, did Chen Xiao really think that Adu would come back and make a comeback in the national team?

Yes and no.

To say yes, it was indeed Durant's comeback that gave him the biggest reason. Durant's comeback was the biggest trigger.

No, that's because the main purpose of Chen Xiao's comeback is to give Ah Lian a perfect career ending.

The UAE has won nine world championships, and Chen Xiao hopes to give the UAE a perfect result.

Arab Lian has been working conscientiously beside Chen Xiao and Yao Ming since 2004, and has been working hard to be a third-in-command. Reasonable, when Arab Lian is so eager for perfection, as the big brother, Chen Xiao is If you don't contribute when you have the ability, it is indeed not very authentic.

And as the big brother, sending Ah Lian off for the last time can be regarded as fulfilling the long-cherished wish of Chen Xiao and Yao Ming.

As for the other level, being teammates with Xiao Chen, that doesn't matter.

Although the father-son game is much talked about and has historical significance, for Chen Xiao, being teammates with Xiao Chen in the national team is indeed not as important as giving the UAE a perfect ending.

Of course, for Chinese fans, the fact that father and son Chen Xiao and Xiao Chen can get together as players in the national team is definitely something worth writing about.

Many old fans were even moved to tears.

Who would have thought that the little baby Chen Xiao was carrying while being unmarried and pregnant in front of the whole country would become a player of the Chinese men's basketball team together with his old God father eighteen years later.

If the Chinese men's basketball team can win the Olympic championship this year, Chen Xiao and his son will definitely be the most legendary father and son in China.

This is definitely no joke.

Before Chen Xiao and his son became legends, at the opening ceremony of this year's Olympic Games, the legends of Chen Xiao and Arab League first opened the way for the men's basketball team.

With Chen Xiao's comeback as a player in the Olympics, the original rider in this year's Olympics will definitely be Chen Xiao.

But in the end, at Chen Xiao's insistence, the riders at the opening ceremony of this year's Olympic Games became Chen Xiao and A Lian.

To be honest, the scene of Chen Xiao and Ah Lian holding a flag really moved the domestic audience.

Many people say that Chinese basketball fans and Chinese sports fans in this era are happy.

In this day and age, they can party every two years.

Since 2002, the Chinese team has won four Olympic Games, three World Championships (World Cup), two Diamond Cups, one World Championship runner-up, and one World Cup in these 19 years. Third place.

In the 11 World Series, they have achieved outstanding results and are worthy of the national celebration.

And this year, if the Chinese team wins again, it will be the fifth consecutive championship in Olympic history.

Except for the first seven games in which basketball has just entered the Olympic Games, the Chinese men's basketball team has won the most consecutive championships in the history of the Olympic Games.

Let's put it this way, compared with the previous four consecutive Olympic champions of the United States team and the four consecutive championships of the Chinese team, they are not even worthy of lifting shoes in terms of gold content.

Therefore, FIBA ​​says that the Chinese men's basketball team led by Chen Xiao, Yao Ming and Arab League is the greatest basketball dynasty in FIBA ​​history.

If the Chinese men's basketball team can win the Olympic championship this year, FIBA ​​will definitely feel more confident when it says this.

If the Chinese team wins the championship this year, then the United States team will have to wait until the 2022 World Cup if they want to win the world championship.

From 2002 to 2022, it is really 20 years.

Who can suppress the American basketball team for twenty years?

Even in the era when the former Soviet Union and the former Yugoslavia were fighting against the United States, the United States still had the upper hand.

There is no doubt that this Chinese men's basketball team will become the most dominant team in FIBA ​​history.

Therefore, this championship is indeed of great significance to the Chinese men's basketball team.

This championship is not only the tenth world championship of the UAE, but also the tenth world championship of the Chinese men's basketball team!

Therefore, this is not only the perfection of the UAE, but also the perfection of the Chinese men's basketball team!

In this case, Dayao did not put pressure on Chen Xiao and did not say anything clearly. In fact, Dayao had long hoped that Chen Xiao would come back.

So the question is, if Chen Xiao comes back, can he help the Chinese team win the championship?

Of course no one can guarantee this, but there is definitely greater hope.

Chen Xiao's comeback this time is not to play the center position for the Chinese team.

In fact, with Chen Xiao's height and his current athletic ability, it is possible to play center in the NBA.

But in FIBA, if he plays center, he will be targeted by those ferocious super centers in FIBA.

So after Chen Xiao came back, he actually played the shooting guard position in the warm-up matches.

Yes, Chen Xiao plays shooting guard and Xiao Chen plays point guard.

The Chinese team's lineup for the warm-up match is center A Lian, power forward Gao Bo, small forward Zhou Qi, shooting guard Chen Xiao, and point guard Xiao Xiao Chen.

This is a super huge lineup with super long arms, and it is also a lineup where everyone can shoot and shoot three-pointers.

According to many FIBA ​​basketball experts' analysis of the Chinese team's starting lineup: "When the arms of the five of them are completely open, there will be no space in the entire court!"

This is indeed a bit exaggerated, but it is indeed similar.

Gao Bo, now 22 years old, has a naked height of 2.19 meters and a wingspan of 2.33 meters. As for Zhou Qi, a naked height of 2.16 meters and a wingspan of 2.31 meters.

Ah Lian is 2.13 meters tall and has a wingspan of 2.22 meters.

Chen Xiao is 2.01 meters tall and has a wingspan of 2.21 meters.

Xiao Chen is 2 meters tall and has a wingspan of 2.18 meters.

These are all naked height and wingspan.

Let's put it this way, this Chinese men's basketball team is the master of long-armed monsters in human history!

It is also the template and model for the style set by Yao Ming and Chen Xiao for the future Chinese team.

The future of Chinese basketball will be built according to the template of this year's national team.

The players are all long-armed monsters with outstanding height, and everyone has solid ball-handling skills, shooting skills, and defensive skills.

You may not have outstanding athletic ability, but as long as you are on the court, you can have an offensive threat, a defensive attitude, and at the same time have enough golf intelligence and tacit cooperation.

And this Chinese team perfectly meets this requirement.

As for such a Chinese team, even if it does not have such powerful players in the future, if it is built according to this template, its combat effectiveness will not be much worse. At the very least, it will definitely be able to firmly establish itself as a world-class team.

Let's put it this way, in the NBA, players of all styles can shine, bloom, and become super giants.

In FIBA, if you want to become a super giant, the first important factor is sufficient height and sufficient skills.

Speed ​​and athleticism are secondary.

There are too few places.

Therefore, the template designed by Chen Xiao and Yao Ming for Chinese basketball is really the most suitable template for playing FIBA ​​and the easiest to implement.

With the popularity of Chinese basketball in the past 20 years, there are not too many people playing basketball in China now, and there are also many basketball talents who conform to the basketball concepts of Chen Xiao and Yao Ming. Coupled with the training of Chen Xiao Basketball University, the world's number one basketball university , now Chinese basketball, under the leadership of Chen Xiao and Yao Ming, has indeed embarked on a path of sustainable development.

In the warm-up match before this year's Olympic Games, the Chinese team's starting lineup was extremely effective and won against strong teams such as Australia, France, and Serbia.

Even if there is a reason why the opponent did not exert so much force, the Chinese men's basketball team did not go all out.

Of course, China's starter is indeed a little slow on defense, but there is no problem. Anyway, the positional offense cannot hit the basket, and it is difficult to break through against the long-armed Chinese team's defense when breaking through.

As for defensive counterattacks, I'm sorry, the Chinese team's lineup is invincible when it comes to positional warfare and offense. The hit rate is very good and the offense is very reasonable. You don't have much chance to counterattack at all.

Therefore, even if the Chinese team's starting lineup is slow in defense, no team can catch it in the warm-up match.

Of course, as to whether the American team can catch it, that's another matter.

In short, in the eyes of many FIBA ​​experts, this Chinese team is extremely strong.

Before the start of the Olympic Games, the Chinese men's basketball team had the lowest odds of winning the championship. This means that betting companies and experts are more optimistic about the Chinese men's basketball team winning the championship.

By the way, this year’s Olympic Games have changed their competition format due to the epidemic.

According to the original competition format, 12 teams were divided into two groups, and the top four advanced to the knockout rounds.

The current competition format has changed to 12 teams divided into three groups, with the top two and the two best thirds advancing to the knockout rounds.

This directly compressed the two group matches.

Originally, winning the championship required five group stages and three knockout rounds, a total of eight games.

But now, we only need to play 3 group stages and 3 knockout rounds, and only 6 games in total.

In this year's grouping, the Chinese team is ranked in Group C, and the Chinese team is in a group with Spain, Argentina and Slovenia.

In the other two groups, Group A, the United States team is divided into one group with France, Japan, and the Czech Republic.

As for Group B, it is Italy, Serbia, Australia and Nigeria.

This year’s opening match is the match between Japan and the Czech Republic at 9 a.m. on July 25.

The Chinese team's first group match is the match against Spain at 8 pm on July 26, which is considered a golden game.

For the host Japan, it is quite embarrassing that the Japanese team cannot get a golden field. To be honest, it is quite embarrassing.

However, Japan's strength is definitely not worthy of it. Two years ago here, Japan was defeated by the Chinese team on the Victory Day of the Anti-Japanese War, and the Japanese men's basketball team was scolded by the entire country to commit seppuku.

By the way, on July 25th, the golden game at 8pm is when the US team plays the French team.

Chen Xiao and the entire Chinese team are paying attention to this game.

Under the attention of Chen Xiao and the Chinese team, the American team lost. The loss was very embarrassing. The American team lost to France 76-83.

The much-watched basketball king, Adu, the God of Death, made 4 of 12 shots in the game, 1 of 6 three-pointers, and scored 10 points in the game.

The highest scorer for the U.S. team in this game was Curry, who came off the bench, with 5 of 13, 3 of 6 three-pointers, and 3 of 3 free throws, scoring 16 points.

He scored 16 points out of 13. In fact, his performance was not very good, because as long as Curry reached the three-point line, there was almost no space. He made 2 of 7 two-pointers, which can be seen.

On the contrary, Curry's ultra-long three-pointer in this game was good.

However, you can’t expect Curry to shoot that kind of ultra-long three-pointer in every game, right?

The key is that there is no three-point line, and Curry himself can't hit the spot accurately. Chen Xiao had systematic help back then. When he played FIBA ​​for the first time, he couldn't hit the spot accurately.

In this game, Gobert and Fournier once again dominated the game.

These two are considered second-tier star players in the NBA, but they can dominate a bunch of NBA superstars in FIBA.

And this is the difference with FIBA.

By the way, the US team also lost to France in the World Cup the year before last.

Therefore, no one is surprised that the US team lost.

What surprised everyone was Durant's poor performance.

"I haven't played in FIBA ​​games for so many years. Is Durant still a beginner?"

Maybe to beat the current Durant, God doesn’t need to take action!

So, except for the Chinese team, we all have a chance to beat the American team!

Many teams and many people have this idea.

For a time, in the Olympic Village, Team USA turned into the soft persimmon that everyone thought it was before.

Well, who would have thought that the American team in this time and space would be the weak persimmon among many strong FIBA ​​teams?

But there is really no way to do this. After all, your grades are so bad and your reputation is so great. If they don’t treat you as a weakling, who should?

How long has it been since the current US team reached the semi-finals of the World Series?

Let's put it this way, without Durant, it will not be easy for the US team to reach the semi-finals, let alone the championship.

In recent competitions, under the leadership of Bobo and Joe, the American team has been in disgrace and has never risen.

If Durant can't do it, then this American team really can't do it!
