Brief introduction

On paper, this team is actually good: Colt captain "Bull King" Finley, Charlotte "Queen Bee" Byron, former "Assist King" Andre, the most improved player O'Neal Jr., interior titan Antonio, Green Capie team PP, three-point shooter Reggie, speed hacker Marion, outside expert Williams, defensive legend Big Ben, Los Angeles "Captain" Brand, anti-aircraft gun tower La Frentz and college newcomer Collison.

But in fact, I don't know if the chemistry is not good enough or the mind is not fully invested in the game, the Dream Five team does not know how to cooperate as soon as they get on the court, and they are often blindfolded in the game but are turned around by the opponent, and there is no stable output of players to save the game at critical moments, and finally lose ugly at the door of the basketball heart.

A humiliating sixth-place finish in 2002 led many NBA top-tier superstars to agree to compete in the 2003 America's Cup (the 2004 Summer Olympics Americas qualifiers). They comfortably finished first and qualified for the Summer Olympics in Athens, Greece in the summer of 2004. The original roster included Shaquille O'Neal, Kobe Bryant, Tim Duncan, Jermaine O'Neal, Jason Kidd, Vince Carter, Ray Allen, Allen Iverson, Tracy McGrady, Carl Malone, Kevin Garnett and Mike Bibby. However, due to various reasons including terrorist attacks and the fight to win the championship, only two of the 12 (Iverson and Duncan) ended up in Athens, and the improvised Dream Six team also suffered a complete defeat.

And due to the following reasons, the final squad for the Copa America qualifiers has also changed some players from the above list: "Big Shark" O'Neal, who injured his toe, took time off for treatment; "Peter Pan" Bryant, who was isolated and failed to defend his title, was absent for some reason; "Wolf King" hopes that the Wolves will strengthen and break the fate of being repeatedly eliminated in the first round of the playoffs, and "Postman" Malone has been diligent for many years to strive for a championship, but due to the recurrence of old injuries, he can't even help win glory for the country, and the "Beast" Martin will go out instead of a robe ~

The Dream Six team listens to the voice

Due to their poor ranking at the 2002 World Championships, the United States had to compete in the 2003 Men's Basketball Championship of the Americas in Argentina (the 2004 Summer Olympics Americas Qualifier) and finish in the top three to qualify for the Olympics. Spurred on by the previous year's home fiasco, many of the NBA's top stars who were able to travel joined in and easily finished first, while also qualifying for Athens, Greece the following summer.

But even the roster that reinvigorated the U.S. men's basketball team at the 2003 Copa America quickly fell apart. As many as 10 of the 12 players chose not to go to Athens for personal safety reasons, such as the terrorist attack. The U.S. Basketball Association had to find a replacement, and in the end, the revised Dream Six roster was very different from the original roster, with only two MVP-level superstars, Tim Duncan and Alleniverson, unchanged, and the head coach of the "Dream Six" was Larry Brown, a decorated coach of the NBA's Philadelphia 76ers.
