The Rest, Only Noise
Chapter 603: Seoul's past
"The rest, only noise(!
In the past two Olympic Games, due to ideological problems, the countries of the two camps of the Soviet Union and the United States boycotted each other, resulting in a decline in competitiveness, and the two major international factions were working behind closed doors.
Meanwhile, the 1988 Olympics were seen by many as a sign that the strained Cold War relationship between the United States and the Soviet Union was easing.
The United States and the Soviet Union will compete against each other at the Summer Olympics for the first time since 1976.
At the same time, this is also a grand event for Koreans to show themselves to the outside world.
As Time magazine put it: "The Olympics are an elaborate party for the Koreans to throw for themselves, allowing the world to appreciate the economic miracle rising from the ashes of war."
Since Louis was in the United States, the news he saw was mostly American.
What American Jackie Joyner-Kersee Sets Heptathlon World Record
In a springboard preliminaries, American diver Greg Louganis hit his head on a springboard during a somersault. After a few minutes of stitching in the field, he was back on the diving board and eventually won gold in that event.
Florence "Flo Joe" Griffith Joiner has become the fastest woman in the world after winning three track and field gold medals in the 100m, 200m and 4x100m relay.
But the most explosive is the 100-meter sprint. Canadian trapeze Ben Johnson easily defeated Carl Lewis, but he was found to be doping soon after, which became the biggest scandal in sports this year.
In the light-heavyweight boxing final that followed, the Koreans displayed their sportsmanship perfectly.
The two sides were American legend Roy Jones Jr., who later dominated the professional light heavyweight world in the 1990s, and South Korean player Park Hee-hong. Jones hit his opponent 86 times that game, far more than his opponent hit him 32 times. Under such a huge and obvious advantage, the referee still awarded the gold medal to the then host South Korea.
After the game, two referees on duty were accused of accepting bribes from Koreans and banned from refereeing future Olympic events.
Of course, not all referees are so unscrupulous. In a boxing match of another level, South Korean athlete Dojeong Yi, who is a favorite to win the championship, met a fair and honest referee. He bravely gave a fair verdict in the land of the Koreans - when the popular Korean boxer was eliminated, determined to show the world the spirit of contemporary Koreans, the starlings actually beat the referee in public on the global live footage . Moreover, the C position responsible for the main output is Daodingyi's coach and assistant coach.
This game, Louis watched the live broadcast.
He was surprised to see a few Bill Laimbeer fans on the live broadcast, those South Korean officials and field staff who made up for the output in the name of persuasion.
The picture of a group of people beating up the referee while taking advantage of the chaos like this, showed Louis hi.
The audience was also in a commotion, with bottles and seats flying in the air, and the ring was in chaos.
When the referee was rescued, he had been beaten beyond recognition.
After the game, the Korean reluctantly asked for a resumption of the game, trying to find out the referee's problem. It turned out that the referee's decision was completely correct.
The two biggest scandals in boxing, plus Ben Johnson's doping scandal, and Oolong, in which the Dove of Peace was burned to death in full view of the opening ceremony, are tied in Louis's mind as the four biggest memories of the 1988 Olympics.
Aside from that, Louie's main focus is on the men's basketball game.
The Olympic men's basketball competition is divided into two groups, namely Group A and Group B.
The United States, Spain, Brazil, Canada, China, and Egypt are placed in the same group.
The top four in each group will advance to the knockout rounds. For China, the opponent that prevents them from entering the knockout rounds is Canada, the designated pet of the United States.
During the period, the Chinese team defeated Egypt with the twin towers of Song Tao and Yu Tiancan.
Defeat Spain, stalemate with the United States in three quarters and four quarters, and fought with Brazil to the last minute and suffered a lore by the holy hand Oscar Schmidt. In the game with Canada, Yu Tiancan gave 7 big caps, plus Song Tao Dominant 28 points and 15 rebounds, with a 4-point advantage over Canada, ranked fourth in the group and advanced to the knockout.
In the knockout round, Yugoslavia was in full swing, and the Chinese team suffered a 40-point defeat, ending the Olympic trip.
Louis saw many acquaintances in the Yugoslav team.
Drazen Petrovic, Tony Kukoc, "Single for Kobe" Divac, Dino Raja.
Petrovic was one of the players drafted by the Knicks in 1986.
Louie knows that, unlike Schmidt, he wants to challenge for a higher league. Judging from the level he showed in the Olympics, he definitely has the strength to play in the NBA.
Moreover, it will be a very strong offensive machine.
"Dratzen, my Drazen, when will he come to the NBA?" Louie has begun to wonder if Petrovic is coming, who should he kick out of the lineup.
Tomjanovich, who watched the game with Louie, said: "Unless FIBA allows professional players to participate in the Olympics, these people will not come to the United States."
"It's coming soon." Louis smiled, "This one is coming soon."
In the knockout round, the US team easily eliminated Puerto Rico and advanced to the semifinals and the Soviet Union.
Unlike Munich 16 years ago, this time the Americans have no absolute confidence in their team.
In Louie's mind, it was like the Blazers drafted Bowie in 1984. As time flies, many people make historical revisionist mistakes about what happened decades ago. For example, the rumors that "this year's young American talents are not enough" and "it was normal to choose Bowie at that time, after all, everyone chose a big man". The comparison between Jordan and Bowie has been mentioned in the previous article. I won't say much here. Just talking about this US team, there is a huge controversy in the selection.
Who made their head coach John Thompson? Louie was friends with him, but Thompson was a fool.
What's more, this team has two No. 1 picks in the NBA draft.
David Robinson and Danny Manning, for the international game, they're the perfect, modern big man with great mobility and space. There are also two trusted pitchers in Mitch Richmond and Jose Hawkins. There are also two capable wings - the Knicks this year's rookie Dan Marley and "rubber" Stacey Augmon (SFSG).
But Thompson's picks at other positions were completely screwed up.
In the point guard position, he came out and chose his disciples at Georgetown University, Charles Smith (not the one just drafted) and Bimbo Coles ().
The former has no merit except for the same name as this year's lottery pick, and the future draft is also a must-have item. Aside from being selected for Team USA's Olympic team, his next headlines were for a hit-and-run and two bullets at home.
Coles, although successful in the future, is only an average guard.
The list Thompson flushed in order to add these two private goods is as follows:
Gary Payton, Tim Hardaway, Mookie Blaylock, Rod Strickland, Steve Kerr.
Even if he pulls in the gifted high school student Kenny Anderson or the future core master of Duke University Bob Hurley, it is better than superstitious himself.
He added two of Georgetown's mediocre guards to the USA Basketball team, while ditching the drive-thru and shooters from two opposite corners -- which is an international game with a shorter 3-point line. The best way to win—while, like leading a vastly enhanced exclamation team, demanding a high-pressure defense and having a bunch of students intimidate a battle-hardened adult overseas.
If this is not in the brain, Louis will definitely not believe it.
Unfortunately, their opponent, the Soviet Union, was not afraid of Georgetown's high-pressure play, and was very fond of shifting the ball to allow players to shoot 3-pointers from the perimeter.
One team eschews all the right options, while the other team embraces all the right options.
For the first time ever, the Americans were ready before the U.S. men's basketball team lost.
Thompson's selection is extremely controversial, and their opponents are strong and strong, so when a completely suppressed game happens in Seoul, everyone can accept it.
The Soviets took out the Americans in the semifinals.
Moreover, the gap between the two sides is not as fluid as the future fans' impressions - David Robinson was blown up by Sabonis. No, from the perspective of the scene and data, Robinson scored 19 points, 12 rebounds, 2 steals and 2 blocks in 25 minutes with a 50% shooting rate, compared with Sabo who scored 13 points, 12 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 1 block in 36 minutes. Nice still has an advantage.
After the injury to Jose Hawkins, the U.S. team was left with two solid pitchers, Richmond and Marley. In this case, Thompson also ignored the final winning code - Die Rough Robinson - which Louis did not expect.
When Robinson was "saved" by the brain-sucking Thompson, Richmond had no touch, and the two Lithuanian players of the Soviet team broke out, Saruna and Limas. · RimasKurtinaitisSG's explosion ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ smashed the US backline.
In the case of Thompson not getting any of the questions right, the failure of the US team is doomed.
Despite this, Thompson still had the courage to say: "I think this result is not expected by many people, but these children should not be blamed, they have done their best."
Louie absolutely believes that these guys are doing their best, and I don't know if he, the head coach, is doing his best.
Moreover, another accident caused by the US team being smashed by the Soviet team was unexpected to Louis.
Because of Sabonis, the Portland Trail Blazers were scolded badly!
