Super Legendary Superstar

The American Dream Team 6 is definitely not invincible. In this Olympics, they lost to three teams: Puerto Rico, Lithuania, and Argentina. If it weren't for Marbury's outbreak, they would have lost even Spain.

So, what happened to meeting Team USA? The American team is not much better than teams like Spain and Argentina.

Besides, the American Dream Team represents the top level of the Olympic men's basketball team. They have always symbolized the highest level of basketball. If the Chinese team wants to win the gold medal this year and does not meet the American team, then some people will definitely say that the Chinese team is lucky. I won because I didn’t meet the American team. If I met the American team, I would definitely be eliminated.

Sun Zhuo mentally wants to play with the US team. It doesn't matter whether it's sooner or later. For him, if he can't win the gold medal, there is no difference between finishing fourth or eighth.

No matter how you look at it, the American team can't win the gold medal this year. Then four years later, when the American Dream Team is formed, it will be difficult for you to challenge the United States' status as the world's hegemon. You must know that the American Dream Team, but They really sent out all the strongest players in the United States at the time. The lineup was as luxurious as the Dream Team. The combination of Kobe, James, Wade, Anthony, and Howard, all at their peak, was even more difficult for any team to resist. That is the truly terrifying dream team. Now this dream team cannot be counted, so Sun Zhuo wants to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to win against the American team.

Time soon came to August 23, which was also the last day of the group stage. The Chinese team’s opponent was Serbia and Montenegro. Serbia and Montenegro won the 2002 World Championships and were also a strong team. In the previous life, China narrowly defeated Serbia by one point. Black has become a classic image recalled by countless Chinese basketball fans.

However, today is different from the past. This game was very dull, and the outcome was meaningless.

First of all, the situation of the Chinese team is different. In the past, when the Chinese team played against Serbia and Montenegro, they faced the danger of advancing to the quarterfinals if they won, and being eliminated if they lost. Today, the Chinese team has already qualified and is firmly ranked first in Group A. Serbia and Montenegro have not won a game in the group stage and have no chance of qualifying.

Therefore, after the game started, both sides played very casually. Serbia and Montenegro were not interested in competing in this Olympics due to many reasons. In the end, the Chinese team won another game and won the group stage.

Five hours later, Group A and Group B were all finished, and the rankings were determined.

One to four in Group A are: China, Spain, Argentina, and Italy.

Group B one to four are: Lithuania, Greece, Puerto Rico, and the United States.

Lithuania in Group B also won all five games, while Greece, Puerto Rico and the United States all had 3 wins and 2 losses. According to the results of their games, the United States team happened to be ranked fourth, and their opponent happened to be the Chinese team.

"Ah! Why! After waiting for so many years, I finally waited for the Chinese team to perform so well in the group stage. I fully expected to get a top four this year and compete for a bronze medal. But why is it so unlucky? As soon as they left the group stage, they met the United States. Team! If we lose, we can only compete for seventh place!"

"Those idiots in the Chinese men's basketball team! They only know how to win all the time. They don't have any strategy at all. Don't they know how to guard against the American team? Well, now, they won all the group matches, but were eliminated in the quarter-finals. After winning so much It’s useful in many situations!”

In 2004, there were already many trolls on the domestic Internet, and they were deeply in love with them. They all hoped that the Chinese team could go further, but a quarter of their opponents were the American team, which made them no longer Dare to have hope for the Chinese team. The strength of the American team is recognized by the whole world. Even if they beat Puerto Rico and Lithuania of the United States in the group stage, if you let them play against the United States in the knockout round, they will still tremble nervously.

The U.S. team has this kind of strength. Otherwise, how could it have defeated the Spanish team, which ranked first in the group, in its previous life?

After the rankings came out, domestic fans were worried, while players from other countries began to gloat.

Olympic Village, the room of the Spanish men's basketball team.

"Hahaha, I really sympathize with the guys in the Chinese Men's Basketball Team. They won the first place in the group, but they directly ran into the American team. I guess the Chinese team may be aiming for the top three this year, but now, I'm sorry, They can only fight for seventh place." Fernandez laughed.

Pau Gasol also sneered: "I guess Sun Yat-sen should now regret that he worked so hard against us in the first game. We deliberately let the opponent lose to them. It seems to be the right choice."

The Argentine team also has the same idea.

After Nocioni heard that China was going to play the US team, he almost jumped up with excitement: "Haha, guys, when China plays the US, we must go to watch the game! I want to appreciate Sun Yat-sen's appearance when he was eliminated. .”

Ginobili said: "You haven't told me yet, do you have any personal grudges with Sun Yat-sen?"

Nocioni waved his hand: "It doesn't matter anymore. They will be eliminated soon anyway. I once said that without strong opponents, Sun will not be able to go far in the Olympics. Now it seems that I was not wrong. They are not Were you eliminated as soon as you got out of the group stage? Hahaha..."

…

The whole world believed that it would be a disaster for the Chinese team to meet the American team and it would be absolutely impossible to win. This made Sun Zhuo hold his breath and couldn't wait to go on the field to prove himself.

That night, Sun Zhuo came to the Chinese team's rented basketball hall for additional training. Unexpectedly, it was already twelve o'clock in the evening, and there were still people here.

"Big Zhi." Sun Zhuo was surprised. Wang Zhizhi had been sweating profusely from training and seemed to pay more attention to this game with the US team than he did.

"Hey, Sun Zhuo, you're here." Wang Zhizhi also waved to Sun Zhuo, and then continued shooting practice.

Sun Zhuo practiced with Wang Zhizhi for a while, and gradually guessed the reason why Wang Zhizhi practiced so hard, and asked: "Will there be NBA scouts coming to the game against the US team?"

Wang Zhizhi is now eager to seek a contract in the NBA. The game against the American team will definitely attract the attention of all parties in the American NBA. This game is equivalent to a trial training opportunity for Wang Zhizhi. If he performs well in this game , and may get an NBA contract as a result.

Wang Zhizhi wiped his sweat: "There should be. Besides, aren't Larry Brown and Popovich the coaches of the Pistons and Spurs? If I play well, they might sign me. Now Zhu Fangyu, Yi Jianlian and the others, after hearing this You said you were a little scared to play against the US team, but you don’t seem to have anything to say, so you are so confident?”

Sun Zhuo shook his head, "The U.S. team is definitely not easy to play, especially since they know me very well. Larry Brown and Popovich have just played against me in the playoffs, and they know my personal abilities very well, and they will too." Try your best to limit me and never give me as many corner three-point opportunities as Italy did. Da Zhi, I need you and Yao Ming to step up and help me. We must drag the game to the end. If the stalemate can be maintained at the last moment If not, I still have a way to win.”

Wang Zhizhi nodded: "Yao Ming and I will definitely stand up and won't let you fight alone, don't worry. However, as you said, they all know how to defend your breakthroughs, dunks and corner three-pointers." , it won’t be easy to score at critical moments.”

Sun Zhuo smiled and said confidently: "I will definitely give them some surprises, just wait and see!"
