Chapter 402: The Origin of the Four Heroes of Wind and Dust

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, at the end of July, the men's basketball team came to Jinling this time to participate in the last FIBA Cup before the Olympics - the Diamond Cup. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

This is also the warm-up with the most practical value.

Because in this Diamond Cup, all the participating teams have sent their main Olympic players.

However, from a global perspective, the most watched team did not come to Jinling, and the United States men's basketball team, known as Mengba by the fans of the Celestial Empire, has just arrived in Haojing for training in this former Portuguese colonial city.

Erniu naturally paid special attention to this group stage opponent, but unfortunately, the news from the Internet was very unreliable.

It is said that the head coach of the United States men's basketball team, Coach K, Shashewski, emphasized pressing tactics, so the 03 Golden Three composed of James, Anthony, and Wade just arrived at the hotel, and they traveled together to find inspiration.

They went to a bathing shop in the red light district of Haojing, and ordered a little girl from Vietnam to help with a massage.

The three of them obviously inquired about the market, and as soon as they came, they named the Vietnamese little sister to "serve".

Anyone who knows the industry knows that Vietnamese girls are famous for doing this.

About two hours later, the trio left the bathroom and returned.

Judging from the video taken secretly at the scene, when he went out, Anthony thoughtfully arranged his clothes and pants, and his hands were still stuck in his pants like an aftertaste.

When they arrived at the hotel, the three of them didn't know whether it was sleepiness or excessive energy consumption, so they were tired and lay down directly on the counter of the inquiry office, and did not get up and return to the room until the inquiry was completed.

This story tells everyone how serious the United States men's basketball team is about training.

Not only do I think about it carefully on the field, but I don't forget to seize the time to practice and experience it even during the break.

For this spirit of dedication, it is inevitable to affirm and praise!

Therefore, soon after, the majority of netizens resolutely gave the 03 Golden Three Heroes the nickname of "Three Heroes of Wind and Dust" in recognition of their hard work and efforts.

I don't know why, a few years later, Chris Paul, who obviously didn't join the "Pressing Operation", was also pulled in.

In fact, Paul, a family man, had been sleeping in the hotel that day, and he, the class of '05, did not participate in the outdoor activities of the '03 golden generation.

But there was no way, Chris Paul was eventually implicated because of his good relationship with these three people.

As a result, the name of the "Four Heroes of Wind and Dust" completely resounded throughout the world, and CP3 had no choice but to lie down.

This story teaches us that life is beautiful and that you need to be careless when making friends.

When Ruan Erniu saw this anecdote, he also smiled, and he didn't pay too much attention to it.

It's only natural for these black players with brains to have such little stories circulating.

Embarrassment and lunar eclipse are the same, and in the regular season, they also invited Erniu to play in nightclubs more than once.

But again, this does not prove that these guys are not combative.

They are squandering in nightclubs, but their strength on the competition field may not be compromised.

Because the truly sane superstars will completely retract before the big battle and devote all their energy to training and competition.

The physical fitness and training intensity of these people are also among the best in the world.

In comparison, even if the Celestial Empire players did not go out to fool around, the huge gap between their physical conditions and training intensity and science determined that they were still more than one grade worse than the United States men's basketball team.

On July 28, 2008, the FIBA Diamond Cup was held at the Olympic Sports Center in Jinling.

A total of six teams participated in the FIBA tournament: Angola, Australia, Celestial Empire, Argentina, Iran and Serbia.

Group A consists of Angola, Australia and the Celestial Empire, while Group B consists of Argentina, Iran and Serbia.

The two groups of teams play a single round-robin match, and then the second place in Group A and the second place in Group B will face off in three and four, while the first place in Group A and the first place in Group B will compete for the championship and runner-up.

The Celestial Empire men's basketball team will once again play their Olympic group stage opponents, Angola, and after that, they will play another Olympic group opponent, Australia.

Angola naturally needless to say, while the Australian team is a team that can test the Celestial Empire men's basketball team very well.

In other words, there has always been a voice that Australia will eventually join the Asian men's basketball team.

If that's the case, it's big bad news for the Celestial Empire men's basketball team.

This means that the traditional hegemony of Asian basketball, the Celestial Empire men's basketball team, will encounter unprecedented challenges.

Although after entering the 21st century, the men's basketball team of the Celestial Empire has often been reduced to a second-rate team in Asia in the mouths of Internet trolls, but from the timeline of decades, the men's basketball team is still a well-deserved Asian hegemon.

But once Australia does join the Asian sequence, it's hard to say.

Ruan Erniu also discussed Australia's strength with Da Yao in private.

Da Yao said worriedly: "Aside from the two of us, Australia's overall strength is stronger than ours." The whole team is more like playing rugby, with a lot of physical contact, and they belong to a team that can get things done with nothing. ”

Ruan Erniu retorted: "If you say that, Australia should also put Bogut aside."

However, we will now slaughter Angola again and talk about the experience. ”

Da Yao said: "Why don't you have time in the evening and play Karazan together?"

Erniu smiled and said, "You're not afraid of you, Lao Hu, anyway, your hunter won't be cut down by the Minotaur again!

Da Yao: "......"

The men's basketball team and Angola are also in the Diamond Cup.

From the beginning of the game, the Celestial Empire men's basketball team, which was sitting on Erniu and Da Yao, overwhelmed the opponent in momentum.

In this game, Younas thought about it again and again, replaced the starting lineup again, put Ruan Erniu in the position of the starting power forward, and formed a world-class interior combination with Da Yao, Zhu Fangyu, Sun Yue, and Liu Wei formed the backcourt.

Erniu repeated his old trick again, hitting 3 points in a row in the first quarter of the game, and crushed the last fighting spirit of the Angolan team in a wave on the outside. The game was booming, and Erniu even tried to shoot from the outside one step outside the three-point line, and the shooting rate remained above 50%.

The overall outside projection containment, including Er Niu, makes Da Yao on the inside more like a fish in water.

In the second half, the Celestial Empire men's basketball team changed its attack again, Ruan Erniu appeared in the low post, and Da Yao was arranged to shoot in the high post.

Ruan Erniu in the low post was unstoppable, and Yao Ming in the high post was also able to send a stable mid-distance output, and the score of the two teams was once stretched to more than 30 points.

In the end, it was Younas who replaced the fringe man in advance, which gave the Angolan team a chance to breathe.

At 74:96, the men's basketball team won the first victory of the Diamond Cup with a 22-point advantage, and it was also their 14th consecutive victory in the warm-up game.

The next night, they will face the Australian men's basketball team.

When Er Niu was interviewed by Rich Goose again the night before, he got such news from Shi Yankui, who had just interviewed Bucks center Bogut yesterday.

Australia's big mouth fired again: "I will make Kraft Nguyen understand that the international arena and the NBA game are completely different things, and there is nothing special about him here. ”

When Ruan Erniu heard this, he smiled and said, "Well, it's good, Andrew's sense of humor has always been good, tomorrow I will let him know a cruel reality, no matter where he is, I can get him." ”
