Chapter 984 The defending Olympic champion!
On the court, the Chinese team attacked, with Li Ba at the top of the arc and Dayao at the basket.
Even if Dayao's physical strength was exhausted, Bosh had no strength to fight back, so Prince had to lose Ah Lian and go in to double-team Dayao.
Ah Lian rushed to the left wing, approached the penalty area, received a pass from Li Ba, and made a steady shot.
68:79, China's lead reached double digits.
Team USA attacks.
Kobe didn't pass the ball anymore, he burst out of the right-wing three-point line, and when he was one step away, he made an emergency stop jumper.
Swish, the ball was hit.
71:79, the United States trailed by 8 points with 12 seconds left.
Li Ba held the ball in the backcourt, and no one on the US team went up to press. He walked slowly across the center line, holding the ball with his right hand, and stood in front of the center line to wait for the time to end.
At this time, all Chinese people in Wukesong Stadium stood up.
最后一点时间，于加赶紧念道：“铁锤上场40分钟，12投10中，9罚6中，拿下26分21篮板12助攻8抢断9盖帽3失误3犯规。
He overwhelmed the stars of the NBA, led the men's basketball team to defeat the US team, and won our most important gold medal. This is a great victory. Congratulations to the men's basketball team and to all Chinese people who love basketball..."
"Aaaaaaaaaaaa..."
At this time, the time ran out, and the audience burst into joy instantly. Tens of thousands of hands were waving passionately, and countless red flags were flying. The huge five-star red flag moved slowly in the auditorium and began to pass around the audience.
Many five-star red flags were handed down from the auditorium. Li Ba and others put on one and celebrated the victory with all the fans.
On the rostrum, Li Yuanwei of the basketball management center said to Director Yuan, "Ju Yuan, I can finally deliver orders to you."
The two shook hands, Yuan Ju said: "It's a pity, you will retire soon, otherwise I really hope you can do it again."
After 10 minutes, the awards ceremony began.
The five-star red flag was raised to the highest point, the national anthem was played, and everyone stood up to pay tribute.
The U.S. men's basketball team lost again. The U.S. has such a strong basketball strength and such a strong lineup only won the silver medal, which caused an uproar in the public opinion in the United States.
It was midnight in the United States, and before dawn, O'Neill, Duncan, Garnett and other super giants inside were harassed by the media, and their phones kept ringing.
And many media also began to criticize Li Ba and Dayao on their respective online platforms, especially Li Ba, who received the most criticism, and all previous black spots were revealed.
The reason is that Li Ba led his team to defeat the US team.
Of course, many European and American media came out to defend Li Ba, and these were mainly done by some international sponsors of Adidas and Li Ba.
In the evening, the grand closing ceremony began.
Chenglong led dozens of stars and performed a chorus.
With the end of the closing ceremony, Li Ba's journey to the Beijing Olympic Games also came to an end.
In the following time, he canceled all the celebration activities, including the celebration itinerary in Hong Kong City.
I didn't go back to my hometown again. My hometown was not quiet and I wasted a lot of time. I planned to stay in Beijing for a few days before going to the United States.
Zhou Yuehe and Li Dacheng were bound by their little granddaughter. Wherever Guoguo is, they will stay there, leaving their hometown behind.
The official training camp for next season will start in October, and the regular season will start at the end of October, with a month in between.
This month, the Suns were busy changing general managers, head coaches, and making trades, and Savor was extremely busy.
He didn't wait for the end of the Olympics. After talking with Li Ba that day, he returned to the United States the next day and announced that he had fired Steve Kerr.
Regarding the selection of the head coach, he contacted Frank, but the latter refused.
Frank knew that the Suns' lineup was too bad, and even if the Hammers came back, they wouldn't be able to bring them back, so he didn't plan to come back.
Savor can only confirm the candidate for the general manager first, and then ask the general manager to find the head coach.
He found David Griffin of the public relations department (the general manager of the Cavaliers) and hoped that he would take over as the general manager.
Griffin has a degree in political science from the University of Arizona. He became an intern of the Suns in 1993 and has been working in the team since then. Taken the post of general manager of the Suns.
His first job goal was to find a head coach for the team, and first he found Mike Brown.
Popovich is Larry Brown's disciple, and Mike Brown is Larry Brown's assistant. They both come from the same school and are the most suitable defensive coaches for the Suns. Now Mike Brown is the head coach of the Cavaliers. come over.
In fact, it is better to find Larry Brown first, because Larry Brown has no work to do now, but Griffin considered that the Suns like to train rookies, and Larry Brown does not trust rookies, so he first found Mike Brown.
But unfortunately, Mike Brown rejected him very simply.
Griffin was a little puzzled. Frank didn't do it, and neither did Mike Brown. You must know that the Hammers have come back. Don't you want to coach the number one defender in history?
In fact, he was wrong. The reason for Frank’s resignation is very simple. The next season’s lineup must be poor. The next one, anyway, he has no shortage of next ones.
Griffin then found a second target, Larry Brown, who was free at home.
"why?"
Griffin was very puzzled, and he was directly rejected by Larry Brown.
"Mr. Griffin, haven't you paid attention to the current public opinion?"
Larry Brown actually wanted to go to the Suns to coach the strongest defender, but it has only been a week since the Olympic men's basketball finals, and he no longer has that idea.
"public opinion?"
Griffin ended the call and hurried to browse the web.
It took him an hour to confirm one thing. The team's absolute core, the iron hammer preparing to come back, was targeted by most media in the United States. The reason was that the Chinese men's basketball team defeated the American men's basketball team to win the championship (in reality, Argentina defeated If the United States wins the championship, Ginobili will not be liked by the American media).
"Are we being targeted again?" After hearing Griffin's report, Savor's head froze.
He could imagine that there must be someone who contributed to this, not only the head coach candidate, but also in the player transaction, he would definitely be targeted.
Pressing the troubles in his heart, Savor called Stern on the phone.
"I'm sorry, Robert, I'm under a lot of pressure here now, and I can't help you. I suggest that let time let these things pass, and there will always be new hot spots in the media." Stern said.
Savor was speechless, could the Hammer allow the team to perform poorly this season?
On the other end, Larry Brown called Popovich.
"Greg, the Suns really approached me, and I've turned it down," he said.
"Larry, the Suns are abandoned and hated by the media and fans, so don't go to that muddy water." Popovich laughed.
"Mike Brown also called just now, saying that the Suns had approached him. This is a joke." Larry Brown said in a cold tone.
In fact, his rejection of the Suns was not just due to public opinion, but the Suns came to him after they were rejected by Mike Brown.
David Griffin then approached a few more head coaches, all of whom were turned down.
When he was having a headache, a job search call came, and the position was the head coach.
