Chapter 762
Sitting on a favorable location, the Huaxia men's basketball team will be at home for all games in the Beijing Olympics.
This makes the FIBA very worried, especially China has a demographic bonus. If it is a home game, it must be the devil's home game!
So, they made a little trick during the lottery.
Just a little bit, not much.
It's just that the world champion Spain and the favorites to win the championship, the United States and China, are divided together.
When the Olympic qualifying rounds were over and Germany, Greece and Croatia added in, only 12 men's basketball teams from the Olympic Games participated in the competition, divided into two groups:
Group A: Argentina, Australia, Iran, Lithuania, Russia, Croatia
Group B: Angola, China, Spain, United States, Greece, Germany
The Olympic basketball system is divided into two parts:
The first is the group round robin, which adopts the points system, with 2 points for a win and 1 point for a loss.
Then there is the knockout round. The top four in the group will advance to the quarterfinals, and then the knockout system will be adopted until the champion is determined.
Here, we can see the insidiousness of FIBA.
They didn't group Argentina, Spain, the United States, and China together, that was too obvious, and the other group was too weak to be interesting...
With the current score, even if Huaxia can qualify, it is very likely that they will be fourth in Group B.
As the champion of the 2004 Athens Olympic Games, Argentina has almost no major problems in qualifying for the first place in the thriving Group A.
In this way, Huaxia will either be suffocated in the group stage.
Or, be eliminated by Argentina in the first round!
The best result is no more than eighth!
In another timeline, when Yao Bi was seriously injured, Wang Zhizhi was notorious, Yi Jianlian was immature, and the guards were unreliable, the national team decided from the very beginning that this was the "group of death"...
With the strength of the national team at that time, the United States and Spain belonged to teams that were superior and absolutely impossible to beat.
Among the five opponents in the same group, except for Angola, it is extremely difficult to beat any team.
Moreover, due to the joining of Los Angeles Express center Chris Kaman and joining Nowitzki, the strength of the German team has been further enhanced, and the chances that could have been a fight have become slim.
If the Huaxia men's basketball team is not careful, they will be squeezed out of the top four and suffocated in the group stage.
However, that national team was hard enough and manly enough!
In the first battle, in the entrance corridor of Wukesong, the boys raised their hands high and faced each other with fists.
The ankle is still being repaired, and Yao Bi, who is wearing four catties of steel nails, puts his fist on top.
他 说:
Brothers, let us go to the stadium today, we will not be ourselves, and give everything we have to our motherland...
Knowing that there was nothing to be done, the desperate Huaxia men's basketball team almost drew with the mighty "Dream Eight Team" in the first half, until Yao Bi was limited by physical strength in the second half, and the game finally collapsed...
This is pretty much the epitome of the entire series, the group stage results are:
The first game, the United States 101-70 Huaxia
The second game, China 75-85 Spain
The third game, China 85-68 Angola
In the fourth game, Huaxia China 59-55 Germany
Game 77, China 91-[-] Greece
After a narrow victory over Germany in the fourth game, they qualified ahead of schedule as fourth in the group.
Then, as some people wished, the knockout round went:
68:94
Lost to Lithuania.
Finally ranked eighth.
By the way, the traditional powerful Lithuania was also the opponent of the Chinese men's basketball team Gao Shan Yangzhi at that time.
Of course, these unhappy accidents all happened in another world.
In the current fantasy world, the Huaxia men's basketball team not only has Zhao Ke, a healthy player who led the team to the NBA Finals, Wang Zhizhi, whose reputation has not been damaged and remains the No.
FIBA is blind, but gaming giants are not blind.
In terms of odds of winning the championship, the Huaxia men's basketball team ranks first, even worse than the awesome American "Dream Eight Team"!
Since the "Dream Five" started, the "Dream Six" and "Dream Seven" fell to the ground in succession. This year's American Basketball Association vowed to get back what they lost. This year's American men's basketball team is called "the returning Dream Eight"!
The first is the coaching staff, led by the respected old "K" coach Mike Krzyzewski, the assistant coaches are Mike D'Antoni and Nate McMillan, one is the main offense and the other is the main defense.
The selection of players is simply star-studded:
Point guard: Jason Kidd, Chris Paul, Deron Williams
Shooting Guard: Kobe Bryant, Dwyane Wade, Michael Reed
Small Forwards: LeBron James, Tayshaun Prince
Power forwards: Carlos Boozer, Carmelo Anthony
Centers: Dwight Howard, Chris Bosh
In the 12-man roster, except for Michael Reed, Carlos Boozer and Tayshaun Prince, who are less famous, the other nine are superstars!
Still, this list is flawed.
Missing in the line--
Warcraft and Bosh occupy the fifth position, which can barely pass the test.
But who is filling the power forward?
Carlos Boozer!
Will he defend?
Who else?
Carmelo Anthony!
He is a veritable small forward, okay, a big butt is a power forward?
The moment the big roster came out, I believe that the fans of Mi Li's family were all wailing collectively, where is our Shaq, where is our KG, where is our big Tim, and where is our bully...
However, unlike my Great China, Mi Li’s national team is invitation-only——
The Basketball Association has sent you an invitation.
You chose to refuse!
That was it!
Garnett already represented the U.S. team in 2000 and won the Olympic gold medal. Moreover, he is 32 years old and has had a disappointing season this year. He is very tired, so he doesn't want to go.
Duncan is also 32 years old. In 2004, he represented the US team in the Olympics and won a bronze medal.
In fact, the American Basketball Association really wants to invite Duncan or Garnett to sit on the inside line of the American men's basketball team, but they have already participated in the Olympics, in other words——
He has done his best for the country.
The American Basketball Association can't suppress them with national righteousness, and it can't invite them if it wants to.
Moreover, if you enter the national team, you must sign a three-year contract. The old guys are actually quite resistant to this.
As for O'Neill, he won the MVP in the Dream Team [-], and when the Dream Team [-] won the gold medal, these boys in the Dream Team [-] are still playing in the mud, and the old "K" is too embarrassed to invite him out...
As for Stoudemire, his reasons were the same as KG's, he was in a bad mood.
In fact, the boxing champion is not bad, but his reputation is too bad, even worse than Oden.
At least Oden had been a sparring partner for several days, and he was kicked back to Memphis by the old "K" because he didn't work hard.
What is more mysterious is that there is no Gerald Wallace at the small forward position!
Even the "Little Prince" has come out to mess with the society, but Gerald Wallace, who won the best defensive player, has been missed. This is definitely not the fault of the American Basketball Association. This kid must be traveling around the world with his father again...
