Injuries in basketball only make me stronger

At the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, the final flag bearer for the Chinese team was Lian Feng.

This is something that many people didn't expect.

Many opinions were solicited for the selection of the flag bearer, and both Yao Ming and Lian Feng, who together created a shot that could go down in history with Lian Feng in the World Championships, were very suitable candidates. But Lian Feng, as a shooting guard/small forward, naturally has

There are more imitators, so his popularity will naturally be higher.

After the grand opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, delegations from various countries checked into the Olympic Village and began intensive pre-game preparations.

As in history, the Chinese team was drawn into Group B, the death group.

Unlike the World Championships, there are not many teams that can participate in the Olympic Games due to qualification restrictions before the game. There are only 12 teams in total, divided into two groups.

Group A is Argentina, Australia, Iran, Lithuania, Russia and Croatia. Group B is Angola, China, Spain, the United States, Germany and Greece.

But this time, neither the Chinese nor the players on the team had the consciousness of falling into the death group.

Because... the Chinese team itself is part of death. Most people joke that Angola should feel desperate because they are in a group with the first, second and third place players of the last World Championships.

The lineup is almost the same as the one that won the last World Championship, and Lian Feng just won the NBA championship, proving that he is one of the best players of this era, and Dayao and Arab League have also taken a step further, with everyone in every position

Even better than the last World Championships.

Can't you make it to the quarterfinals?

After the draw, the Chinese team’s opponent was officially determined.

The first game is the United States, the second game is Spain, followed by Angola, Germany and Greece.

It can be said that except Angola, every opponent cannot be underestimated.

However, the good news is that Dayao has been in very good physical condition since returning to the training ground three weeks ago. Even the team doctor was surprised that his body recovered so well.

Only Lian Feng knew that it seemed that the bottle of nutrient solution had worked.

The healthy Yao Yao and the peak Lian Feng are naturally the greatest confidence of this Chinese team.

Everyone is full of confidence.

You know, today’s Chinese team lineup is not inferior to any NBA team!

Lian Feng is undoubtedly a historical giant, and the healthy Yao also has the confidence to compete for the league's No. 1 center this season. In addition to the two of them as the absolute core, the UAE is the undisputed main rotation in the NBA.

If power forward Wang Zhizhi goes to the NBA, he will have no problem playing in the rotation. Sun Yue was selected by the Lakers in the second round last year, but he has not signed a contract yet.

Other players have also reached the bottom line of the NBA, and even reached the mid-range level of the NBA in some aspects.

Imagine an NBA team with two top-paid stars, two above-average rotation main players, and several distinctive role players. Even if it is an NBA championship team, it is nothing more than that, right?

Of course, Lian Feng felt that his teammates were overly optimistic because everyone knew the weaknesses of the Chinese team: basic skills and physical strength.

At that time and space, without Lien, the Chinese team could play back and forth with the American team in the first two quarters, and even took the lead. However, at the beginning of the second half, Dayao couldn't keep up physically. As soon as Sun Yue came off the court, the ball

The team couldn't even find a defender who could stably carry the ball across half court, let alone win the ball in position, and it collapsed.

Therefore, in this Olympic Games, these issues will also be a sword hanging over the head of the Chinese team.

…

Kobe bit his finger and listened to the coach's pregame analysis.

"The Chinese team only has two guys that we need to pay attention to. But the combination of these two guys is very troublesome. Because limiting them requires completely different strategies! I think everyone knows that I am talking about those two guys.

.So we have to focus."

Kobe glanced at the coach.

This time the head coach is still Old K. As the most legendary coach in the NCAA, he has deep qualifications and outstanding achievements. He has also taught in a collegiate league for a long time and is familiar with FIBA ​​rules. Although the Dream 7 team lost the game last time,

This did not prevent him from becoming the coach of this dream team.

Old K's resume and experience can also allow him to control these super players. If he changes his coach, it will not be easy to make these rebellious stars obey.

Moreover, he has experience playing against the Chinese national team.

Now we have passed the era when any dog ​​on the coaching bench of the Dream Team can win. Basketball is developing, and the NBA has served as a cradle for cultivating talents for the world's basketball world, sending a large number of foreign stars to the world, including American teams and teams from other countries around the world.

The gap is not as obvious as it used to be.

This time, Lao K learned the lessons from the last time and strictly required the players who came to BJ not to go anywhere, especially not to go out to party before the game like they did at the last World Championships.

Old K calmly analyzed the strengths and weaknesses of the Chinese team. In his eyes, this Chinese team is one of the few opponents that can compete with the American team for the final ranking.

However, this year he feels that he will not be as aggrieved as last year.

In terms of mentality, this year is a year of rebirth. After losing in the previous two competitions, failure is not allowed this time, so everyone comes to the competition with the spirit of fighting to death, and both confidence and morale are directly boosted.

In terms of players' personal strength, this year is Kobe's first time competing in the Olympics, and he is competing in the country where he has the largest number of fans; Kidd is the absolute core of the backcourt, and although his abilities have begun to decline, he is experienced and more sophisticated as he gets older;

In addition, three-point leader Reid has improved his outside firepower, as well as James, Wade, Paul and other stars who have grown a lot.

This dream team can definitely avenge the humiliation!

But after listening to Old K's analysis, everyone in the team fell silent. It was obvious that everyone was a little confused about Old K's arrangement.

Because, Old K's defensive focus is still on Yao Ming.

Lian Feng and Old K asked Kobe, Wade and James to take turns defending, trying to limit him through individual defense and attrition.

But this kind of targeting is actually equivalent to doing nothing.

Therefore, Paul, who is Lian Feng's teammate, couldn't help but ask: "Don't we need to do something about Lian Feng? I don't want to question the abilities of Kobe and Dwyane, but you know, Lian Feng will not defend himself because of individual defense."

And losing the deterrent effect...if you just let one person stare at him, it won't have a very good effect."

Paul's words made the three super giants responsible for defending the forwards a little unhappy, but they didn't say anything.

Old K glanced at Paul, and then said seriously: "I understand your doubts. But you must know one thing, this is FIBA, not the NBA."

Paul was slightly startled.

Old K continued to explain: "Listen to me why Yao Ming has a higher tactical priority than Lian Feng. Not to mention anything else, Yao Ming is undoubtedly the strongest center in the Western Conference, and is even ranked among the top two in the entire league. Among centers, attack

No one is stronger than him. At the same time, he, players like Gasol and Dirk all have attributes that are more terrifying under FIBA ​​rules than under NBA rules."

"To be honest, although this is rude, I still want to emphasize that under FIBA ​​rules, Tyson and Dwight are far less capable than Yao Ming on the offensive end. And unfortunately, it is difficult for them to limit them on their own.

Yao Ming." As he said that, Old K glanced at Howard.

Howard shrugged helplessly as he thought about being dominated every time he faced off against Yao Ming in the league.

Old K looked at Paul: "Under FIBA ​​rules, the only attack method Lian Feng can use is shooting, because it is much more difficult to break through here. I don't believe his three-pointers will be as accurate this year as last time, because after all,

It depends on the state. But if Yao Ming is ignored, our inside line will probably be overwhelmed."

Paul then fell silent.

But he reserved his opinion.

That guy Lian Feng will definitely not be restricted as easily as the coach said.

Just wait, if you use this strategy to defend the forwards, they will definitely be in trouble.

Big trouble.
