My Name is Kobe Bryant

Chapter 897 Athens Olympics

The offseason of 2004 was destined to be uneventful. Allen Iverson was put on the shelf by Philadelphia, his parent team.

In the end, the Sacramento Kings traded for this MVP-level scoring champion!

Peja Stojakovic + Teteglu + two first-round picks, the Sacramento Kings have made a comeback! ! !

You must know that this season Peja is already a top shooter averaging 21+5+3 per game and has a 43.7% three-point shooting rate.

And since he is not too old, Philadelphia wants to bet on whether he has the potential to become a star.

Teteglu is also a rare organizational forward in the league, and his shooting ability is also very stable.

The arrival of these two strikers will directly allow Philadelphia to continue to maintain the level of a playoff team and gradually collect potential players.

The Kings have gathered the three giants of Iverson, Webb, and Pierce at the same time! ! !

All three players are superstars who can change the situation of the battle!

The Sacramento Kings instantly became the Galaxy Battleship second only to the Lakers!

While the trading market was booming, the U.S. team faced a major setback at the Athens Olympics.

Many stars of the American Dream Six Team, led by coach Larry Brown, refused to participate.

Led by Kobe Bryant, Iverson also canceled his plans to participate in the Olympics due to the transaction incident. Duncan was originally going to participate, but when he saw that there was no superstar on the team, he randomly gave up.

In the end, it was Ray Allen who took the lead and brought a large number of talented rookies from the past two years to the war.

The Americans were initially confident that their talented players, even young, could dominate a stage like the Olympics.

Team roster: 1. Ray Allen, from Minnesota Timberwolves.

2. Stephon Marbury, from Minnesota Timberwolves.

3. Dwyane Wade, from Miami Heat.

4. Carlos Boozer, from Utah Jazz.

5. Carmelo Anthony, Los Angeles Lakers.

6. LeBron James, from the Cleveland Cavaliers.

7. Emeka Okafor, University of Connecticut.

8. Shawn Marion, from Phoenix Suns.

9. Amar'e Stoudemire, from Phoenix Suns.

10. Jermaine O'Neal, from Indiana Pacers.

11. Lamar Odom, from Miami Heat.

12. Richard Jefferson, from New Jersey Nets.

First of all, in the team, Boozer and James are very difficult to deal with.

Boozer originally agreed to a contract extension with the Cavaliers, but then went back on his word and directly chose to sign a big contract with the Jazz.

The ongoing rivalry between James and Anthony is actually inconsequential.

Because they were all benched by Larry Brown.

Larry Brown strangely arranged a starting lineup: Marbury, Ray Allen, Jefferson, Marion, and O'Neal.

As soon as this starter came out, many players on the team turned green.

James, the chosen one, is not worthy of starting?

Is Melo Anthony, who just won the championship, not worthy?

The 20+10 overlord Stoudemire is not worthy of starting?

Is Odom, a 4-time All-Star and left-handed magician who has reached the Finals, not worthy of starting?

What did Larry Brown do to create this starting lineup?

In an instant, many players wanted to leave the team.

This is the best era for basketball, but the starting lineup of the Dream Six Team is only at this level. There are only three All-Stars, and they are all marginal All-Stars. It simply makes teams from other countries laugh to death.

At the same time, the strength of teams from other countries has grown rapidly this year!

Argentina has five NBA-level players in Manu Ginobili, Luis Scola, Fabirio Oberto, Carlos Delfino, and Andres Nocioni!

Led by champion godfather Silver Fox Harris, the Chinese team also has four NBA-level players in Yao Ming, Wang Zhizhi, Xue Yuyang, and Battelle, plus a large number of young talents.

Italy, Lithuania, Greece, Spain and other teams are also doing well!

The US team's first group match was an upset! ! ! United States 73: Puerto Rico 92! ! !

Lost!

A moment!

Dream Team 6 is at the forefront!

The American team deserves to win. If it wins, I'm afraid the whole world won't pay much attention.

And lose! ?

Lost to Puerto Rico? ? ?

An instant sensation in the basketball world around the world!

"This American team didn't have the spirit of a dream team at all. They looked worse than some strong college teams." Charles Barkley was the first to stand up and complain.

"Are you kidding? What is Larry Brown doing? Not coaching in the league, and this is the result of a year of preparation?" Stern cursed directly in the office.

"This is the worst Dream Team in history. I wouldn't be surprised if they don't win the championship." Michael Jordan couldn't bear to look at it.

Originally, the Olympic Games were alternately coached by NCAA and NBA coaches. However, the rapid development of the NBA in recent years has allowed the NBA to suppress the NCAA. More and more coaching opportunities in international competitions have been monopolized by famous NBA coaches.

This time around, if Larry Brown can't lead the team to good results in the next games, I'm afraid he will be ostracized by the entire NBA coaching team.

"Damn it." Larry Brown was in the office, his eyes blood red.

He also never expected that he would lose to a team like Puerto Rico.

"A fluke! They won by pure luck!"

Regarding the opinions of the team's assistant coaches and players, Larry Brown turned a deaf ear.

He firmly believes that the lineup he matches is the most suitable for the FIBA ​​stage!

Use those new people?

Larry Brown doesn't trust them!

Even if they win the championship, so what, it was just Kobe who won with him.

The ones who are suitable for this team should be dedicated engineers!

"My basketball philosophy, yes!"

At the same time, the match between the Chinese team and Spain was equally exciting!

Spain, a veteran European powerhouse, ranks third in this year's championship predictions!

Second only to the United States and Argentina.

As for the Chinese team, even though they have four NBA insiders, their weak outside players still make many people think that reaching the quarterfinals is their upper limit.

"The starting lineup of the Chinese team - Liu Wei, Li Nan, Zhu Fangyu, Wang Zhizhi, Yao Ming!"

"Very young! The average age of this starting lineup is less than 25 years old!"

"Perhaps they will not achieve very good results in this Olympics because they are too young. But we believe that under the coaching of Harris, this Chinese team will shock the world in the 2008 Beijing Olympics!"

The Chinese team unfortunately lost to Spain 77:83.

But they have already seen the hope of defeating these traditional powers!

Yao Ming scored 21 points, 12 rebounds, 8 assists, 4 blocks and 1 steal, a near-triple double!

Wang Zhizhi had 25 points and 7 rebounds!

The almighty twin towers almost crushed Spain from the inside out.

If Liu Wei and Li Nan hadn't been exposed, this game would have been won.

In the next game, Harris boldly replaced Li Nan directly off the court!

Great Sage Sun Yue makes his debut!

19-year-old Sun Yue's skills are not mature yet, but his excellent running and jumping ability can compete with those first-line tough men in Europe and America!

It's enough to leave the offense to the Twin Towers!

What the Chinese team needs is a top outside defender like Sun Yue!

China 91:69 ​​New Zealand!

Big win!

Sun Yue scored 7 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 3 blocks! It directly disrupted the rhythm of New Zealand's outside attack.

The match between Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi inside is even more perfect!

Del Harris on the sidelines showed the smile that only appeared when the Lakers won games on the sidelines.
