Chapter 106 The Olympic War Begins
Time flies, the training in July is over, and the competition in August is coming.
The grouping of the Olympic men's basketball team has been finalized. Group A is Argentina, Australia, Iran, Lithuania, Russia and Croatia.
Group B is Angola, China, Spain, the United States, Greece and Germany.
As soon as the grouping situation was announced by the media, it attracted a lot of screams from Chinese fans, group B, this is simply the group of death.
Some fans analyzed on the Internet that for the Chinese men's basketball team, such a draw is undoubtedly a bad news. Among the five opponents in the same group, it is extremely difficult to beat any team except Angola.
Originally, the strength of the Chinese men's basketball team was difficult to gain the upper hand compared to Germany. Now, thanks to the joining of Los Angeles Clippers center Chris Kaman, the strength of the German team has been further enhanced. It will be very difficult for the Chinese men's basketball team to defeat the German team led by two NBA star insiders.
Currently in Group B, the only team that the Chinese men's basketball team is sure to beat is Angola, and once they miss the German team, the Chinese men's basketball team is likely to miss the quarterfinals.
Go to Sina's "Li Hei" Yang Hui to publish an article, claiming that the Chinese men's basketball team has missed the top eight.
Such a speech made him receive a lot of criticism, but after reading his article carefully, many fans also admitted in their hearts that the Chinese team is in an unfavorable situation.
Li Zhi had anticipated such a situation. Before that, he hoped that the situation of the lottery could be changed, but after seeing the result, he could only accept his fate.
The Chinese team obviously got the next lottery.The star-studded American "Dream Eight" team and the World Champion Spanish team are several grades higher than the Chinese team. Although the Chinese team, relying on individual stars to play, has the advantage of home court, it is certainly not the opponent of the European and American teams with high tactical literacy.
Even in the face of the African champion Angola, the Chinese team is not sure of victory.
The American "Dream Team Eight" led by the little emperor "LeBron James" and the new NBA regular season MVP Kobe Bryant has re-gathered the big-name top stars in the NBA.Their goal is only one - the Olympic champion.
However, judging from the performance of the previous American qualifiers, the America's Cup, the Dream Eight team is not invincible, and their inside line still has obvious flaws.
The United States lacks talented big men. As centers, Dwight Howard, Elton Brand, and Amare Stoudemire are generally undersized, and Tyson Chandler, the first tallest player in the Dream Team, is just a big man who can only defend but not attack.Because of this, Argentine Rockets player Luis Scola would single-handedly blow up the inside of the Dream Team and steal the America's Cup Most Valuable Player trophy.
When "NBA Sixth Man" Manu Ginobili, Chicago Bulls bench bandit Nocioni, Toronto Raptors starting shooting guard Delfino, San Antonio Spurs championship member Oberto and Pistons' Herman return to the national team, the competition between Argentina and the United States will become more intense and close.The Chinese team is better than the US team at this point, but the Chinese team is only better than the US team at this point.
Fans worry that Yao Ming is indeed a talented big man and has long been recognized as the number one center in the NBA, but relying solely on Yao Ming's tactics will make it difficult for China to achieve the goal of "keeping eight and competing for six".
Once Yao Ming is injured and unable to participate, China will encounter a bottleneck.
Judging from the previous warm-up matches, Li Zhi, who had high hopes from the fans, did not get the tactical status he deserved. The tactics that Jonas would formulate made the Chinese team's style of play more integrated, but it made it difficult for Li Zhi on the outside to play the role of a sharp knife.
On August 8, BJ time, this is the first competition day of the Olympic Games. The Chinese team also ushered in their first opponent and the most powerful opponent in the Olympic Games, the US team.
It is definitely not too much to use this game that has attracted much attention, and the real situation is even better.
The fans of the national team are looking forward to it. They don't expect the Chinese team to beat the United States. They just hope that the Chinese team can show everyone new things and not be bombarded too badly under the heavy artillery of the United States.
During the day on the 8th, Germany beat Angola lightly, and Spain faced its old enemy Greece, which was particularly difficult to win, but they still won the victory. In the evening, the United States and China began as the last game of the day.
Li Zhi sat with Yao Ming, Li Nan, Yi Jianlian, Wang Zhizhi and others. Yao Ming had a rare smile on his face. The spotlight of the media kept flashing in the distance, and soon a piece of news appeared.
[Smiling, Yao Ming seems to be planning a strategy. ]
Yao Ming's smile was not without reason, it all came from Li Zhi, because Li Zhi hid his strength, of course, the hidden strength was only in those few warm-up matches, Yao Ming thought it was Li Zhi hiding his clumsiness.Not only Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian, Li Nan and other national team teammates think so.
But when Li Zhi heard Yao Ming's whispering in his ear, he smiled helplessly, feeling pain in his heart.
"Brother, it would be great if I hide my strength!"
The game is about to start, and the US team's starting lineup is already on the field. Paul, Kobe, James, Bosh, and Howard are all the best players in each position in the United States. Even in the world, they are the top five players.
On the Chinese side, Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian, Li Zhi, Sun Yue, and Liu Wei are also the five strongest people in China today.
"Lee, I'm glad we met again."
James was walking in and said to Li Zhi.
Seeing Li Zhi today, James is more and more annoyed by the management's unfavorable operation. If Li Zhi can be traded early, this year's Cavaliers will definitely be able to take a step closer in the future.
"When the game starts, I won't show mercy!" James said with a smile.
"Don't worry, I won't either." Li Zhi said with a smile. Facing the strongest small forward in the world, this is the time to test his defensive strength.
Since acquiring Artest's defensive skills, Li Zhi's defense has been guaranteed to be A+, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the strongest defense in the NBA. It's just that Li Zhi has never found a decent opponent to test his defense. Now facing James is a good opportunity.
After James left, Kobe, Howard, Paul, Bosh and others exchanged pleasantries with Li Zhi. They were all in the NBA. They were very optimistic about Li Zhi, a rising star.
Witnessing Li Zhi's treatment, Sun Yue, who is also a starter, is extremely envious. This year he also went to the NBA, and it is Kobe's Lakers. I don't know if he will be like Li Zhi.
Li Zhi was recognized by several NBA leaders, and the Chinese fans on the sidelines cheered. It seemed that he was recognized by himself and this country.
