Chapter 370 Six years of training for the Dream Team Eight!
In the end, after fierce competition and confrontation among the 12 teams, three teams from Croatia, Greece and Germany were qualified to participate in the men's basketball group stage of the 2008 BJ Olympic Games.

At the same time, with the determination of the ownership of the last three participating places, the grouping of the men's basketball team in this Olympic Games has also been officially released.

The Olympic men's basketball tournament is divided into two groups, AB and AB, with a total of six teams in each group. After the round-robin confrontation within the group, the top four teams in the group will advance to the quarter-finals according to the points ranking.

Wait until the quarter-finals battle, and then cross-confrontation based on the rankings of the 1st to 4th in the ab group.

That is to say, the one or four players in group ab will be opponents in the quarterfinals, and the 8 players will be opponents in the quarterfinals.

In the semi-finals, according to the rule that the first and second players in the group do not compete in the semi-finals, the winners of the top 8 in group a and the fourth in group b will play against No. 2 in group b and No. 3 in group a. The winner of the strong battle.

The other two groups naturally formed another group of top four matchups!
According to such a rule, it means that No.1 and No.2 in the same group can only face each other in the knockout stage only if they both enter the finals.

I don't know if it was intentional or just a coincidence.

The grouping of this year's Olympics is under such rules, which makes it impossible for the Chinese team and the US team to meet in the knockout stage before the final final.

The 2008 BJ Olympics men's basketball tournament groupings are as follows:

Group A: Lithuania, Argentina, Croatia, Australia, Russia, Iran!

Group B: Team China, Team USA, Team Spain, Team Greece, Team Germany, Team Angra!
According to the match-up rules of this Olympic knockout match, it is impossible for the first and second place in the group to meet again in the knockout stage before the final.

In terms of the strength of the Chinese team and the US team, basically only the opponent in Group B may cause these two teams to lose!

Therefore, normally speaking, the first and second positions in Group B, the two teams should be able to get it by hand!
Needless to say, the Chinese team is under the leadership of Yao Ming, the number one center in the league, the number one center in the world, and the MVP of the new division finals, and Xu Lang, the number one point guard in the league, the number one point guard in the world, and the MVP of the new division regular season.

The only opponent of the Chinese team in the entire Group B must be the US team.

As for the U.S. team, although the dream team has lost frequently in the World Championships and the Olympics in the past few years, it is the U.S. team that has not done its best.

The overall lineup of the US team in the past three world seasons is obviously not the top lineup of the US team!

But this year is different. In order to realize the revival of the world's No. [-] basketball team in the United States, this year's American Dream Team, it can be said that the entire NBA can find the best players at various positions.

Not only that, in order to re-rank the world's No. 06 this year, the big players of the US team, for the first time, have already started training together after losing the World Championships in [-].

Even during the annual offseason, most of the players in this American team will set aside at least one to two months for collective training.

And not only that, during the offseason of the past two years, this American team has also been conducting high-intensity team training. The opponents are also composed of NBA stars and top playoff teams. team.

The player configuration is top-notch, and the sparring configuration is also the top-level, plus up to two years of preparation and training with the players.

This U.S. team is more than one level stronger than the U.S. teams that lost their world No. [-] position in three consecutive international competitions.

Therefore, although the US team has frequently lost in the World Series in the past few years.

But most people still think that the Dream Eight team, which has gathered all the top basketball players in the United States, has the only opponent in Group B of this year's Olympic Games is the Chinese team.

Of course, the American and Chinese fans are very happy that the Chinese team and the American team are in the same group.

However, some other teams that are in the same group as the Chinese team and the US team will hardly be happy!
Because the Chinese team and the US team were in the same group, Group B became a group of death.

After all, when the Chinese team and the US team are in the same group, it means that Group B has naturally lost two promotion places!

In addition, besides the Chinese team and the US team in Group B, there is also the Spanish team, the runner-up of the 06 World Championships.

The traditional European strong team Germany, and the Greek team that was once brilliant in the ancestors.

This made Group B's pressure to qualify infinitely greater!
Angola: Oh, me, I am also in Group B! ! !

By the way, there is also an Angola team that is equivalent to making up the numbers.

Angola: &%*”+《;@*》!
This made the six teams in Group B this year divided into three classes by many people before the game started.

The Chinese team and the US team, which are determined to qualify for the championship, and the Spanish team, the German team and the Greek team, which are three teams competing for two qualifying places.

I can only run towards the Angolan team who can end their Olympic journey with a little bit of dignity.

In comparison, the strength of the teams in Group A is relatively balanced.

No team is so strong that it can directly determine a promotion spot like the Chinese team and the US team.

But there is also no team that is particularly weak, so weak that Angola is already determined to end this year's Olympic journey with a five-game losing streak before the start of the game.

And this relatively balanced team strength means that the matches in Group A are destined to be much better than Group B in terms of excitement and intensity!

Of course, in competitive sports, the result can only be known after everything has been played.

In the end, will Group B become a group dominated by the Chinese team and the US team, as predicted by many media.

And whether Group A will become a separatist group, everyone can't guarantee that they will be able to beat their opponents, and they will only know after they have really played.

And soon, the opportunity for verification will come!

As time passed, the opening time of the 2008 BJ Olympic Games began to enter the countdown.

"Brother Yao, you should take this flag."

In the opening ceremony of this year's BJ Olympic Games, all athletes of the national team need a main flag bearer.

Undoubtedly, as the men's basketball team with the most attention and the best performance in the country in recent years, it is the main choice area for the final main flag bearer!
Originally, there was no need to worry about the choice of the main standard bearer. After all, Yao Ming's contribution and performance over the past years are obvious to all.

But Xu Lang couldn't help but suddenly jumped out, the first NBA regular season MVP in Chinese basketball history, the first double team player, the world's top point guard, and now one of the absolute cores of the national team.

Moreover, since Xu Lang defeated Yao Ming this year and became the MVP of the regular season, Xu Lang's domestic evaluation has also begun to not lose to Yao Ming!

All these make Xu Lang, although he is just 23 years old this year, already has the capital to compete with Yao Ming, who is entering his peak period.

At least, at the official level, Xu Lang and Yao Ming have been treated on an equal footing!

Fortunately, at this time, Xu Lang took the initiative to stand up and withdrew from the competition for the main flag bearer, avoiding problems and conflicts in the national team before the start of the game!

In Xu Lang's own opinion, although his strength is at the same level as Yao Ming's, he is obviously inferior to Yao Ming in terms of contribution to the national team and impact on domestic basketball.

Therefore, Xu Lang firmly supports Yao Ming as the leader of the national team when the outside world thinks who is the leader of the national team this year.

After everything was ready, the opening ceremony of the 2008 BJ Olympic Games officially set off bursts of exclamation at the National Stadium at 8:8 p.m. BJ time on August [-]th!
Look at the shocking opening ceremony and the amazed expressions and expressions of the audience and athletes from all over the world.

After Xu Lang and Yao Ming looked at each other, they felt a kind of sincere pride rising slowly from their hearts.

This also allowed the two to produce this year's men's basketball gold medal at the same time, and the Chinese team has a determined ambition!

On the second day after the opening ceremony, the major sports of the BJ Olympic Games also began to officially start the schedule, and the men's basketball game also began to arrange six group matches on August 8.

Among them, the Chinese team and the US team were arranged in the opening match of Group B.

"Good afternoon, audience friends. What we are broadcasting live for you is the fourth game on the first match day of the BJ Olympic Men's Basketball Tournament on August 8th, which is also the first group match of Group B. The opponents are the US team and the Chinese team, which are the favorites to win the championship this year."

"I am today's host Sun Zhengping. Today's game will be explained by me, Teacher Yu Jia and Director Zhang Weiping together."

"I believe both of you have paid attention to it recently. Since the schedule of this year's Olympic men's basketball tournament was announced, the opening match between the U.S. team and the Chinese team has attracted a lot of media attention and reports."

"And the most discussed among them is the opening game between the Chinese team and the US team, who will win the game in the end, and Yao Ming, the new FM p, and Xu Lang, the new regular season MVP.

In the face of the encirclement and suppression of a group of American stars, what kind of game performance can they play? "

"Also, who will qualify from Group B first, the Chinese team or the US team? All kinds of discussions and questions revolve around this match!"

"So, I don't know how the two teachers think about these discussion points?"

"First of all, I will choose to support the Chinese team without hesitation.

Moreover, I am not blindly supporting it because I am the Chinese team. I have a reasonable basis.

First, I personally think that Yao Ming and Xu Lang, who have just finished the Eastern Conference Finals and Finals, have maintained high-intensity training since the end of the game, making their current game state in a hot state. "

"Secondly, although the US team formed a stronger dream team this year.

But the Chinese team with Xu Lang and Yao Ming has an absolute advantage at least in the center position and the point guard position.

Especially when Yao Ming in the international arena has greater inside dominance and lethality than Yao Ming in the NBA, I even boldly predict that the two centers of the US team will be directly blown away by Yao Ming. "

"Once again, Yao Ming, Xu Lang, and Yi Jianlian are also a team that has cooperated for more than two years!
The three of them are obviously stronger than the US team in terms of chemical reaction and tactical understanding.

Although the U.S. team is said to have prepared for this dream team for two years, and all the players of this U.S. team have also practiced together for two off-seasons, but I think this is not enough.

Therefore, the Chinese team, which has the advantage of the core players, the core players' game state is also very hot, and the team has a higher degree of tacit understanding, will inevitably have an easier time than the US team to qualify for the first place in the group. "

"Of course, the Chinese team has one or another advantage in facing the US team.

But also because the US team has enough stars, it also has its own advantages. For example, the strength of the rotation lineup will not decline, which puts forward higher requirements for the Chinese team's substitute lineup. "

"Secondly, because the U.S. team can rotate too many players, it will also allow them to have more choices. More players can be used against Yao Ming and consume Yao Ming's physical energy."

"But in general, I personally think that China's advantage in this game is still greater.

Of course, the same cannot be taken lightly. After all, the opponent is the US team. They have the strength and ability to widen the gap between the two teams in a short period of time. "

Zhang Weiping, who responded to Sun Zhengping's question in advance, basically said everything he could and should say.

This made Yu Jia, who was watched by the two seniors Sun Zhengping and Zhang Weiping, feel the pressure slowly in an instant!
"Uh, I agree with most of Director Zhang's points just now, but there is one point that Director Zhang seems to have forgotten to mention just now."

"That is, the current Chinese team's bench lineup is not weak!
This is not the old Chinese team, although the US team has a strong rotation.

However, the rotation of the Chinese team is also not weak. There are roughly the same players as Moko on the inside, Du Feng and Wang Shipeng at the forward position, and Liu Wei and Li Nan on the back line to fill in the gaps.

It can be said that the Chinese team's bench lineup is the top bench lineup in the world. "

"Even, I think that even the substitute lineup of the Chinese team is undoubtedly the winning lineup in Asia."

"Of course, the U.S. team's bench lineup composed of all-star players must be stronger than the Chinese team's bench lineup."

"However, I don't think the Chinese team's substitute lineup will be a disadvantage when facing the US team, and it will be a breakthrough point.

At least, I think there is no problem with the national team's bench lineup, against the US team's bench lineup, from half a quarter to a quarter of the game.

What's more, the Chinese team is not a team that needs to go up and down. It is entirely possible for players other than Yao Ming to play more time to bring a substitute lineup. "

"So, I personally think that as long as the Chinese team's starters can play their own advantages and complete the expected suppression in this game, then the chances of the Chinese team winning this game are infinitely close to [-] percent."

Obviously, with Yao Ming and Xu Lang's crazier game performance in recent years, more and more Chinese people have a great sense of trust in the strength of the Chinese men's basketball team.

It's just that the spectators and fans watching this game, looking at the star-studded 12-man roster of the US team, still inevitably have a little guilty conscience in their hearts.

The list of members of the 2008 BJ Olympic Dream Team Eight is as follows:
Centers: Dwight Howard, Chris Bosh
Forwards: Carmelo Anthony, Carlos Boozer, LeBron James, Tyshawn Prince!
Guards: Dwyane Wade, Kobe Bryant, Terry McGrady, Chris Paul, Deron Williams, Jason Kidd!

Two centers, four forwards, six defenders.

Moreover, the two centers are not traditional heavy centers, but the kind of athletic centers who can play fast breaks, play defensive counterattacks, and directly catch the ball and dunk.

Obviously, the head coach of the Dream Eight team, Coach K, intends to show everyone the athletic talent of American basketball that surpasses the entire world in this Olympic Games.

Of course, in a way, this is also the result of the current inside environment in the American basketball world.

After all, in the entire American basketball world, there is no heavy center that can compete with the previous four centers and the current Yao Ming.

This made the old coach K very clear that if he piled up heavy centers in the team, it would be very difficult to beat the Chinese team with Yao Ming.

So instead of fighting against the strongest point of the Chinese team, it is better to find another way and use the stronger athletic talent of the American team to compete in the sky.

After all, there is only one Yao Ming, the 150kg Yao Ming and the maximum playing time of more than 20 minutes!

Soon, the warm-up of the two teams ended and the game officially began.

As the focus of this Olympic Games, the most watched opening match of Group B, both teams obviously don't want to lose this match.

This allowed the players of both teams to see the fighting spirit in the opponent's eyes!

Although the two teams were in a peaceful state during the warm-up before the game because of Xu Lang and Yao Ming, but after stepping on the field, many players of the two teams could clearly feel that the opponent had regarded themselves as opponents and prey up!
"Okay, the game is about to start, first let's take a look at the starting lineups of the two teams for this game."

"U.S. starting lineup:

Center: Dwight Howard, Power Forward: Carmelo Anthony, Small Forward: LeBron James, Shooting Guard: Kobe Bryant, Point Guard: Jason Kidd!

The starting lineup of the Chinese team:
Center: Yao Ming, power forward: Yi Jianlian, small forward: Sun Yue, shooting guard: Zhu Fangyu, point guard: Xu Lang. "
