Dream Nine Team

The U.S. men's basketball team has always been known as the "dream team", and the U.S. men's basketball team deserves to be the center of attention in any international competition. In fact, since winning the World Championships in Canada in 1994, the U.S. men's basketball team has not been able to reach the top podium, and this time will undoubtedly be a battle of redemption for the new U.S. men's basketball team:www.biquge.info

Historical review: The record is brilliant, but the hegemony has not been established

The U.S. men's basketball team has been unable to break new ground since winning the championship in 1994 with Shaquille O'Neal, Reggie Miller, Alonzo Mourning, and more, and now, after 16 years (a non-NBA player finished third in 1998, sixth in 2002 on home soil, and bronze in Japan in 2006), they are hoping to relive their dream of winning the World Championship.

Status: Dream Eight collectively withdrew, and there are hidden dangers in the inner line

Despite the decline of Serbia and Montenegro (the former Yugoslavia), the overall strength of European and South American basketball has continued to grow in recent years, and the tacit cooperation between European and South American basketball has posed a huge challenge to the traditional star effect of the American men's basketball team. At the 2008 Beijing Olympics, the big-name Dream Eight only narrowly defeated Spain in the final. In this way, the U.S. men's basketball team still doesn't have absolute certainty to overlook the world. At the 2010 World Basketball Championship in Turkey, the U.S. team defeated hosts Turkey to regain their long-awaited medal.

Dream Ten Team listens to the voice

On July 8, 2012, Beijing time, the U.S. men's basketball team (Dream 10 team) announced the 12-man squad for the London Olympics in England. The defending champions were drawn in Group A at the London Olympics against Sydney 2000 silver medallists France, Athens 2004 champions Argentina and African champions ******. The coach of the U.S. men's basketball team, Lao K, believes that the road to defending the title of the "Dream Ten Team" will be full of thorns. [3] The Dream 10 team took a family photo at the Las Vegas training camp on July 8, 2012, Beijing time.

The thunder "three less" gathered

With Howard, Derrick Rose, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh withdrawn from the U.S. men's basketball team due to injury, the Oklahoma City Thunder's James Harden and new champion Anthony Davis were urgently called up to the training camp. Harden was voted the NBA's Sixth Man of the Year last season and was able to provide more offensive firepower to the U.S. as a substitute. Before Harden, his teammates Durant and Westbrook also locked up the Dream Team spot in advance, so the Thunder "Three Less" became members of the Dream Ten team together. This is the first time in the history of the U.S. men's basketball team that three players from the same team have been selected (Kenyon Martin was selected for the '03 America's Cup after replacing Jazz forward Karl Malone, who was out injured, and also joined Nets teammates Richard Jefferson and Jason Kidd, but the event is an Olympic qualifier, not a World Championship or World Cup). Durant and Wei Shao have both been selected for the Dream Team, having won gold for the United States at the 2010 World Championships in Turkey, where Durant was named MVP. Harden's selection was somewhat lucky, as his selection benefited from Rose's injury and Wade's withdrawal.

The selection of the little "AI" broke the doubts, and the former Philadelphia "first brother" put on the Olympic jersey

Among the 12-man roster released by the "Dream Ten Team", the most controversial is the little "AI" Andre Iguodala. Although he is the first player from the Philadelphia 76ers to be selected for the national team since 2004, his too low-key style and personality have caused him to be questioned a lot. "I'm curious why 'Dream Ten' chose Iguodala on the team?" "Because his name is 'Brother Yi'." Fans teased. But in fact, the reason why the official decided to recruit him into the team was because he liked his defense. He also has no intention of competing with his teammates for the limelight. "Maybe I'm focused on defending and other people don't do that," Iguodala said with a laugh, "I practice a lot of different defenses every day, and whenever I'm on the court, I'm going to run tirelessly, to make tackles, to defend, to put pressure on opponents, to force them to make mistakes." People used to call me 'Little Pippen', and yes, I was trying to learn his defense. "Although the 76ers have changed a lot in the summer, with Louis Williams and Elton Brand leaving, Iguodala is not thinking about the club for the time being. He said that he would cherish this hard-won opportunity and focus all his energy on helping the U.S. team win. As a result, the United States reached the final, beating Spain to claim the Olympic gold medal, while Iguodala did not escape the Philadelphia shock, as he was traded from the 76ers to the Denver Nuggets the day before the London showdown.

New "Wolf King"

Among the 12 members of the "Dream Ten Team", in addition to the rookie champion Anthony Davis, the new "wolf king" of the Minnesota Timberwolves, Kevin Love, is the only player on this team who has no NBA playoff experience. The reason is that the Timberwolves have a poor overall record, and they have not made the playoffs in the years since he joined, but Loew is a well-rounded non-traditional center and won the "three-point title" at the All-Star Game at the beginning of the year. Therefore, he may be asked to shoot 3-pointers from the outside in the "Dream Ten" to open up space for his teammates. "Being on the Dream Team certainly means a lot to me and we're going to fight for the gold," Loew said. "When I was a kid, I watched not just basketball at the Olympics, but everything else. It's a way to feel patriotic and be part of the country. You don't have to be a sports fan to watch the Olympics. ”

The new "champion" rookie Davis is playing for the country

Due to an accidental injury to power forward Griffin (torn cartilage in his left knee and due for surgery), the 2012 NBA No. 1 Pick and interior player Anthony Davis was selected to replace Griffin on the Dream Ten team. In the warm-up game against the Dominican team, Davis played 10 minutes and scored nine points. He also scored in the warm-up match against England. "I'm excited to finally get a chance to go out," Davis said, "and I wish Griffin all the best." U.S. men's basketball director Colangelo expressed confidence that Davis could replace Griffin well because "he's such a great kid." Davis's fans were very fond of him, and there was also a "We want to have an eyebrow!" on the field. "The slogan." If you love the sport, you're going to be nervous," Davis said, "but we came out with a relaxed mindset and had fun." "He's playing really well," Bryant said, "and it's a great opportunity for him to get a feel for the game." ”

This will also be the 34-year-old veteran Kobe Bryant's last Olympic appearance for the U.S. men's basketball team. Due to the injuries of Howard, Aldridge and Bosh, Odom voluntarily withdrew, and the interior of this dream team is on the short side, and they may be more focused on small players at that time. Kobe Bryant is not worried, he admitted: "When a player has an injury, you have to adjust and play to your strengths. For the problem of height, everyone will always be associated with the ability to fight for rebounds, in fact, we have many rebounders on the team, everyone can fight for rebounds, me, James, including Paul. ”

This dream team brings together Beijing Olympic gold medalists such as Kobe, LeBron and Anthony, as well as newcomers to the Turkish World Championships such as Durant and Westbrook. Bryant believes that the team's run-in is not a problem because they have a good coach Shashewski and the team can have a smooth transition, "He's a great communicator and it's easy to play for him. ”

Mike Shashzewski (born February 13, 1947 in Chicago, Illinois), nicknamed Coach K, is the head basketball coach of the famous American basketball school Blue Devils Duke University, and has produced many NBA stars. Coach K is now the head coach of the American Dream Team and has led the team to the Beijing Olympics.

Some NBA teams have tried to bring him in, with the Boston Celtics, Portland Trail Blazers and Los Angeles Lakers all in talks specifically about him moving into professional basketball, but he has always turned down multimillion-dollar contracts.

In an NCAA game on the morning of November 16, 2011, U.S. men's basketball head coach and American college coach Shashefsky (nicknamed Coach K) led Duke University to a 74-69 victory over Michigan State University, thus achieving the 903rd victory of his NCAA coaching career. As a result, he surpassed legendary coach and mentor Bob Knight to become the coach with the most coaching wins in the NCAA Division I Conference. A record was also set again. [2]
