290 in my dictionary, not giving up

For a long time, the American men's basketball team has been the yardstick for the Olympic men's basketball competition.

In the 15 Olympic Games that the US team has participated in, they have won two gold medals. Since the 19th Olympic Games, the US team has included top players from the world's highest-level league NHAR spoon. The "Dream Team"'s total Olympic record is 114 wins and 6 losses. However, the US team's latest Olympic record, the bronze medal at the Athens Olympics, is their worst record in Olympic history.

Team USA lost more games at the 204 Athens Olympics than all previous games combined. Such results and a disappointing bronze medal at the 2UU World Championships put the US team at the Beijing Olympics under tremendous pressure.

The problem that the US team has difficulty forming a stable lineup in the past few years has also made the team's task of defending the dignity of the overlord even more severe. After the Athens Olympics, the US Basketball Association stipulated that all national team members must ensure that they must play for the team for two years until the end of 26. This regulation has caused some veterans, such as Duncan and Garnett to choose to withdraw from the national team, and now head coach Mike Kreisky Ikcvkt, must rebuild the Dream Team.

The last time the US team won the Olympic gold medal was in the 26th Sydney Olympics, which is also the third time the US team won the Olympic gold medal after the two Olympics of Barcelona and Atlanta. The Dream Team, which will debut in Beijing, is definitely not short of talented players. Three NHA superstars LeBron James, Kobe Bryant and Dwyane Wade led the team to the gold medal. With the assistance of inside giants Dwight Howard and Amal Toddmeier, such an American team will be difficult to defeat.

This is what everyone thinks. Even Chinese men's basketball players do not think they can defeat the Dream Team. Just kidding, everyone knows what the Dream Team came from this time. They came for the gold medal. This time, the Dream Team is all elite. They not only want to win the gold medal, but also want to win beautifully, just like the Dream Team led by their senior Jordan.

The tactics deployed by Nelson Jr. are very simple. They focus on Chamberlain and Yao Ming as the core. They both attack and defense, with both offense and defense, leading the Chinese men's basketball team to attack from the inside, and drive the outside from the inside, first breaking through the opponent's inside, then attacking the outside, and finally working hard to win.

But this does not include today's game with the Dream Team. Nelson grew up watching the Dream Team's game. His understanding of the terribleness of the current team is probably the best in the team. After deploying the tactics, he said to the players: "Don't care too much. Guys, we are not going to beat our opponents in today's game, but to beat ourselves. Do you understand? You should use your opponent as a benchmark and hone the lineup."

Chamberlain was a little reluctant when he heard this. He said in disbelief: "Man, are you trying to let us give up this game? Shit, this is not your style, why do we have to play? More than one billion fans don't want to see us running for forty-eight minutes on the court. Their purpose is to see us win the opponents and win all the opponents."

Little Nelson was a little helpless and embarrassed by his subordinates' doubts, but he was not angry because even he looked down on himself and gave up the game? This is his debut in the national team. How unwilling is he to give up the game?

But what if you don’t give up the game? This kind of tactical detour is common in basketball games. Their real opponent is other opponents in Group B except for the Dream Team, so you should keep your energy against these opponents, and you should not waste too much effort on the Dream Team.

It was precisely because of this consideration that Nelson had to make such an arrangement. Others obviously understood this truth. Sun Yue said to Chamberlain with great sincerity: "You know the strength of our opponents, and you should also know who our real opponent is. The Spanish team is the Spanish men's basketball team the day after tomorrow. We must retain the most strength to deal with those bastards raised by bitch."

Sun Yue said something that was inconvenient for Little Nelson to say. His arrangement was just like this. However, understanding this does not mean that Little Nelson is willing to accept this matter. But even his father and all the assistant coaches advised him so, and even the men's basketball leaders mean that, what else can he do? However, Chamberlain's emergence made him feel a little relieved. After all, he still has warriors, not all castrated male beasts.

Others also persuaded Chamberlain this way. Yao Ming sighed and patted Chamberlain on the shoulder and said, "The overall situation is the most important thing. We Chinese have a saying that if you want to hit someone, you have to take your fist back.

Chamberlain pushed Yao Ming's arm away, he stood up and looked at every teammate in the locker room seriously. He said slowly: "When I was a child, I was very hard and tired at that time, so I was depressed. I started to complain, escape, and retreat. At that time, I had more reasons than you are now. Later, my father told me something that I still remember in my heart."

He paused and recalled: "On a dark night in 196, the internationally renowned documentary producer Greenspan collected information at the Olympic Track and Field Gallery in Mexico City. A marathon was just held that afternoon. Of course, now the competition is over. But just when everyone in the gym was exposed, he saw this scene: a thin black man ran into the Olympic Stadium in Mexico City with difficulty. Greenspan knew this black young man, whose name was Akevari, was a marathon athlete in Tanzania."

"Akevary was the last marathon player to arrive at the stadium. At this time, the stadium was already covered in darkness. The winner of the competition had already received the trophy and the entire celebration was over. Except for a few recorders who were stating the data, everyone else had been exposed."

"When Akevary arrived at the stadium alone, his bandaged legs were covered in blood and his feet were limping. Greenspan knew the reason. Because Tanzania was still in a state of civil strife, the National Sports Bureau had no money at all. Akevary could come to Mexico to participate in the Olympics, or a ticket funded by foreign kind-hearted people. He didn't have real running shoes, just wearing a pair of plastic shoes to run. The shoes were worn down his soles. Everyone thought he had withdrawn from the competition, including Greenspan.

"After Ekvary ran into the stadium, he limped around the field for a week and finally reached the finish line. Seeing this scene, Greenspan couldn't resist the drive of curiosity, so he walked to Ekvary and asked him why he had to run to the finish line so hard when the game was over? Because even if he ran to the finish line, no one knew that the stadium was empty. Not to mention the referee, even the audience had already been exposed."

Speaking of this, Chamberlain stared at his teammates, especially Yao Ming, who knew who was the real boss here, and he asked, "You know how Akevary answered, right? Greenspan recorded this whole thing, and later it was broadcast on TV thousands of times. You all know, right?"

Yao Ming stood up and said, "Yes, we all know that Aikvary said, 'My country sent me here from more than 20,000 miles away, not to let me start, but to send me to complete the game. I must run the entire journey, even if there are no referees and no spectators, my own tasks must be completed, and I must be worthy of my heart."

Chamberlain stared at his teammates sternly and asked: "If you just deal with this game, can you be ashamed of your heart? Do you know what our fans call us? Dragon Team, we are the second team in the history of the world men's basketball team with a nickname. Do you have to insult the Dragon Team, this sign?"

Zhang Qingpeng, who was still passionate, jumped up and shouted: "No need to say so much. Our opponent is the American men's basketball team, not the Martians. They are five people, and we are five people, why should we be afraid of them? They will die."

Nelson took a deep breath, threw the tactical manual that had been prepared aside, and said heavily: "Okay, then let's do our best to play this game. Let's teach the proud Dream Team a lesson丨They will definitely underestimate us, let's teach them how to respect their opponents."

Players from both sides appeared one after another, and the fans who had been yelling for a day remained enthusiastic. As Chinese men's basketball players entered the court one by one, the sounds of the Wukesong Arena were rolling, and the fans' screams were like the whistling sound of huge waves slamming the table. The sound waves gathered from all sides into the middle of the stadium. The cheerleaders who were dancing had to cover their ears.

After the players came on the court, they started to communicate while practicing. Kobe and Kid walked over with the ball and laughed at Chamberlain, "Hey, are you ready to lose? You don't have Billups or West as your teammates here, and you don't even have Jackson or Ellis."

Chamberlain smiled proudly and said, "Even if you win, I will let you win the pain. I may lose, but you will definitely cry."

Kidd shook his head and said, "Young people are just rampant, it seems that I am the same at your age. OK, E, let's teach young people a lesson today."

The two sides had a brief exchange. Under the attention of the fans, the list of starting players of both sides appeared on the LE ceiling screen above.

The first thing that came out was the starting lineup of the US team: the center is Dwight Howard, the forward is James and Anthony, and the defenders are Kobe and Kidd.

The US lineup is very mobile. The two forwards James and Anthony are now playing small forwards, and neither of them has played power forwards. Coach K’s purpose of this deployment is obvious, that is, to use speed and flexibility to defeat the Chinese men’s basketball team that wants to play inside tactics.

Immediately, the starting lineup of the Chinese men's basketball team was released: center Yao Ming, power forward Chamberlain, small forward Zhu Fangyu, and guards Sun Yue and Liu Wei.

Both lineups are very weird. The US team does not have a power forward, while the Chinese team does not have a shooting guard. This is easy to understand. The Chinese team needs a shooting guard. Their offense will end from the inside. Now the problem of the Chinese men's basketball team is how to send the ball to the inside players. Whether it is Liu Wei, Zhang Qingpeng, or even the new generation Chen Jianghua, these so-called EA first-class point guards are all scumbags in front of the top guards of the US professional basketball team.

Nelson Jr. had to send a double point guard. Their task was to be able to dribble the ball to the frontcourt to the inside players under various circumstances. There was no doubt that the US team would play the full-game press.

The game was about to break out, and the atmosphere of the battle dominated the scene. The sound in the huge arena quickly became smaller, and only B⊥ was using passionate voice to explain the lineup of both sides of the game.

In the stands, men's basketball players from all countries stared at the arena seriously. The Spanish men's basketball team who finished the game in the afternoon also came, and the Gasol brothers with great and small eyes were particularly serious.

West put his phone in his pocket for a day. He stared at the stadium. After watching the dribbling of Liu Wei, Chen Jianghua and others during the warm-up, he immediately shook his head and said, "How can these guys play in the national game? Their level is so bad that I can beat them up when I was in college."

Billups shrugged and said, "This is normal. Without Yao and their national team, it would be a second-rate team."

Everyone knows this, but now the variable is that the Chinese men's basketball team has Chamberlain and Yao Ming
