On the afternoon of August 10, the weather was not beautiful, and it rained heavily in Beijing.

But even so, it couldn't resist the enthusiasm of the fans, and there was a long queue outside the Wukesong Stadium.

In 2008, online ticket buying was not the main way to buy tickets, so most people went to the site in the afternoon to queue up to buy tickets for the evening game.

Some foreign fans, who could not buy tickets, even held up signs in the rain to beg for tickets.

Well, it's not just fans in China and the United States who are paying attention to this game, which has attracted almost the world's attention.

Tickets are hard to come by outside the Wukesong Stadium, and the stadium is already overcrowded at night.

The match between China and the beautiful country was scheduled for 10 o'clock in the evening of the 10th.

Although it was not early, the fans in the stadium were still very enthusiastic.

The CCTV reporter was wearing a raincoat outside the stadium, looking at the long queue and swallowing his saliva.

This may be the most high-profile night since the Olympics other than the opening ceremony.

In fact, a total of six presidents and dignitaries from more than 100 countries appeared in the Wukesong Stadium today.

There are countless stars, and the degree of starlight can be said to be a complete explosion of Staples.

Domestic, foreign, sports, entertainment circles, everyone.

Unlike Staples, even celebrities don't necessarily get a front-row seat.

They are just like ordinary fans, hidden in all corners of the stands.

A casual sweep of the camera is a surprise.

Such a scene is indeed worthy of this huge battle.

It's a veritable battle!

At this time, in the locker room of the Chinese team, everyone was very nervous.

Although the locker room door was closed, the loud shouting from outside still pierced through the soundproof door and burst into the ears of every player.

Wayne also clasped his hands together, and it felt very different.

He's never played such an important game in his home country, and it's a completely different feeling than playing in the NBA.

Chairman Yao looked at Wayne and smiled bitterly: "How did you sleep yesterday?" ”

"Not much, I can't sleep." Well, Wayne experienced the feeling of tossing and turning and not being able to sleep because he was looking forward to the next day again.

"Bryant said he couldn't sleep either, and I think we're probably going to be the two most nervous teams at this Olympics."

That's right, the pressure on the Dream Team is also high.

This time, they came to break the embarrassment of not winning a world championship for seven years.

So there is no room for error.

American fans may not care about the World Basketball Championships, but they still value the Olympics very much.

If this happens again in Athens in '04, I'm afraid that fans all over the United States will have to march in the streets.

"Kobe Bryant can't sleep normally, I guess he will ask you after returning to Los Angeles, have you seen Beijing at four o'clock in the morning?" Wayne made a joke, it turns out that the group of guys in the dream team are also panicking!

Because...... Yesterday Pao'er also called to say that he couldn't sleep!

The Dream Team players you think are just mere mortals.

Or a bunch of mortals that Wayne had defeated.

Don't scare yourself to death first, don't open your eyes to see that the dream team didn't win the championship at the first time in this Olympic Games.

In the 08 Olympic Games, Spain almost sent the strongest squad in history, and it was bound to fight to the end with the beautiful country.

After European teams and American teams defeated the United States in successive Olympic and World Championships in previous years, the 08 Olympics was also surrounded by wolves, each with its own elite.

Everyone in the Dream Eight team knows very well that winning the championship is not something that can be easily achieved by playing an exhibition match.

Hearing that Kobe Bryant was also nervous, Wayne was a lot more relaxed.

The biggest fear in basketball is not that you can't beat others, but that you mythologize your opponent.

Before you fight, tell yourself in advance, "I'm afraid you're thinking about fart", then you really don't have to fight.

"The athletes are ready to enter!" At this point, a staff member shouted outside the locker room.

Everyone looked at each other and took a deep breath.

It's time to play!

Walking out of the locker room, the players' tunnel was full of reporters and staff, and the atmosphere of a big battle immediately spread.

After Wayne walked out of the locker room, he clapped his hands and raised his fist: "Come on, everyone get together!" ”

Everyone was stunned at first, and then Sun Yue was the first to come up, followed by Yao Ming, Zhu Ba, and Wang Zhizhi......

All the players of the Chinese team had their fists next to each other, and everyone formed a circle.

"We're standing together now, we're putting our hands together! We're going to give ourselves to this team, we're going to carry the team on our shoulders! Chinese team, come on! ”

After yelling, Wayne took the lead and rushed towards the player's tunnel entrance.

Almost all the staff and reporters in the tunnel were applauding the players of the men's basketball team.

Yu Jia, as a CCTV reporter, stood at the entrance of the passage, high-fived every player who passed by him, and kept shouting "Come on, come on!" ”

The kind that shouted so loudly that his face turned red.

Everybody is like a big enemy, and you can empathize with everyone in the room, which you never get to know in an NBA game.

Wayne led the way to the entrance of the players' tunnel, and at that time, seeing thousands of five-star red flags in the stands outside, Wayne suddenly got goosebumps.

Well, Wayne got goosebumps the first time he played in the NCAA and the first time he played under the roar of so many people.

The first time in the NBA, when people cheered for his goal, he got goosebumps.

The first time he lifted the O'Brien Cup, the first time the fans shouted "MVP" to him......

But over the years, there have been fewer and fewer scenes that can shock Wayne.

Unexpectedly, I ran into another one today!

When the Chinese team rushed out, the entire Wukesong was boiling, and Wayne also felt that he was full of strength.

At that moment, he personally felt what it means to be "not fighting alone".

The players of the Dream Team also happened to enter, and before entering, Xiao Bu Shi had just gone to shake hands with the players.

This shows how important this game is.

Wayne and Bryant, who were in the lead, glanced at each other, but neither spoke.

The two sides began to warm up, and Cannon kept looking at Wayne's side, but Wayne didn't mean to come up and say hello.

If it's an NBA game and you meet your old friend, Wayne will definitely go up and say hello.

But on this occasion, Wayne thinks it's not appropriate to talk before the game.

Talking to each other before this kind of big war will have a feeling of closeness and weakness.

As Chairman Yao said: "No matter how we lie down in the end, at least we have to smash them first." ”

Well, don't look at Tuyao, who is usually very gentle, but in fact, his hands are black!

After the national anthem ceremony, when tens of thousands of people stood up and sang together, the state of the Chinese team players had been completely ignited.

In such a situation, it is really possible for a person to perform at a higher level.

"CCTV! Hello CCTV viewers! Now we are at the Wukesong Basketball Stadium in Beijing, the last game of the first day of the 29th Olympiad, men's basketball, the Chinese team against the American team!

The starting lineup of the Chinese team is now we will introduce to you, the organizational guard is Liu Wei, the attacking guard is Sun Yue, the small forward Yi Jianlian, the big forward Wayne, and the center Yao Ming! ”

Teacher Sun Zhengping's voice sounded in the TVs of countless families, and it was the classic combination of Zhengping and Weiping who commented on the game today.

In Wayne's early days in the NBA, the two often commented on NBA games together.

Later, due to the emergence of young people such as Yu Jia and Yang Yi, Sun Zhengping didn't say much about NBA balls.

After all, he didn't specifically talk about basketball games.

Today, Younas started Yi Jianlian and Wayne at the same time. Although on the surface, Wayne is the No. 4 position and Yi Jianlian is the No. 3 position, but in fact, both of them are ready to swing at any time.

The position of the forward line is flexible and ambiguous.

"Don't be nervous, fight well! The Dream Team is a piece of, we were in training camp last summer, didn't we play a similar lineup! Didn't we win too! Wayne patted Yi Jianlian's arm, and Alan nodded seriously.

yes, Wayne's training camp last summer already included a number of Dream Team members.

This is not the first time Yi Jianlian has played against a team of this level.

"Play well, don't panic when you get a chance, understand?" After that, Wayne had a few more words of advice to the Great Sage.

"Don't worry, Viagra, I'll definitely take the opportunity to shoot today!" The Great Sage patted his chest.

On the Dream Team's side, the players are also serious, and their pressure is less than that of the Chinese team.

For China, people's requirements are to play at the doorstep of the level, just play the momentum.

To put it mildly, less loss is a win.

But for the dream team, you can't just win, you have to win beautiful when you play China.

Otherwise, how can you prove your dominance?

Mousse also sprinkled a handful of magnesium powder in front of the technical table before the game, but not many people cheered him on the scene.

In Wukesong, he is not the little emperor who is in the limelight.

The starting lineup of the Dream Eight team is indeed fantastic, Kidd, Kobe, Mousse, Guagua and Happy Beast.

The 03rd and 04th classes of the new generation account for half of the country.

During the jump ball stage, Younas sent Wayne to jump with Howard, hoping that Wayne, who had won Howard in the slam dunk contest, would be able to fight for the first attack.

Howard smiled when he saw Wayne, worthy of a happy beast, laughing at any time.

Wayne looked serious and waited silently for the referee from Finland to kick off.

Under the gaze of 100 million Chinese, 80 million Americans, and a total of one billion people around the world, the referee threw the ball into the air, and the big battle finally began!

Although Wayne won the slam dunk contest, to be honest, he was not physically fit enough to be on an equal footing with Howard.

Especially in the vertical jump on the spot, Wayne is far inferior to Master Huo.

Sprint and jump, with the blessing of height, reach, and badge, Wayne can also work at height.

But the vertical jump is really no match for the beast.

The moment Master Huo won the ball, Guagua ran to the frontcourt. After all, he is the proposer of the gambling game, so he has to make a watch and deduct one first.

Kidd, who received the basketball, saw that Guagua had rushed to the Chinese team's half, and did not hesitate to play immediately.

The raid was launched so fast that the camera didn't even have time to keep up.

Seeing this, Yao Ming immediately retreated to the basket, and Guagua was also full of energy to prepare to deduct Yao Ming for a warm-up first.

As a result, before he could catch the ball, the basketball was suddenly cut by someone and he got rid of it!

Guagua turned his head and saw that it was Liu Wei!

That's right, Liu Wei.

He didn't give up the confrontation with Anthony, and now that he is on the field, he can't think about it so much, it doesn't matter who you are, you just have to fight!

After the basketball was cut off, it hit the bottom line on Guagua's leg, and the Chinese team had the ball!

"Good ball, it was a mistake on the American side!"

Wukesong continued to boil, and Guagua probably thought that the Chinese team was still the same as before, and they could break through its defense by playing casually.

However, he didn't know that he was facing perhaps the most different Chinese team ever.

I wanted to deduct the morale of a Titi as soon as I came up, but I didn't expect it to be a failure.

Guagua was embarrassed, but he knew that the camera must have given him a close-up, so he tried to stay calm.

"Don't panic, don't panic! Handsome Guagua, you are still handsome! Anthony comforted himself in his heart.

Yao Ming withdrew from the baseline and prepared to serve, but before the ball was released, Kidd and Kobe Bryant had already posted it.

The audience is pressing!

As soon as the game opened, the Dream Team used full-court pressing to prepare to contain the Chinese team.

In the NBA, unless it is a critical moment, most of the time you don't use full-court pressing to defend.

Because the NBA's guards are so strong, it is not a problem for them to hold the ball and press tightly.

In fact, they even have this ability in the center, isn't the happy beast just a master of penetrating the path and imparting liquids to break the pressing...... Ahem!

But FIBA is different, and for defenders in many countries, dribbling over half court is really a technical job.

It is the dream of many international defenders to have the perfect dribbling skills of the green capfish!

Lao Yu: I'm a grandmaster at the dribble guard.

Needless to say, Ji Bu's defensive ability is naturally very dead.

The stingy department was not polite to Sun Yue, he had long wanted to have a good confrontation with Sun Yue.

I took my own risks last summer, and I repeatedly caused trouble for myself last season.

Kobe Bryant remembered the game when the Trail Blazers interrupted the Lakers' winning streak, and the final key shot was also guarded by Sun Yue.

Although he won the championship, he still remembers this hatred of the black mamba!

With both defenders entangled, Chairman Yao couldn't get the ball out.

At this time, Wayne ran up and raised his hand to ask for the ball.

Yao Ming also passed the ball to Wayne.

Player No. 4 holds the ball through half the court!

"Wayne dribbled the ball across the half, and we all said yes, even though Wayne was playing in the number four position, his versatility was amazing!

The American media all claim that Wayne is the kind of player who can play from the No. 1 position to the No. 5 position! Teacher Sun Zhengping couldn't help but popularize science to the fans.

After all, most of the people who watched this game were not people who paid attention to basketball on weekdays.

A lot of people probably watch this basketball game every four years.

Just like every World Cup, there are old fans who watch the game once every four years.

I heard that Yao Ming is an NBA champion and Wayne is the MVP.

But how they play is something that many people don't know.

"Since this Wayne is so powerful, will he dunk outside the three-point line!" Countless children have asked such questions.

No way, Zhou Tianwang's "Slam Dunk" was too popular some time ago.

This is also because "Basketball Fire" is not so hot in the mainland at present, otherwise people will find that "Slam Dunk" is a fart.

While Wayne was dribbling, Guagua was always looking for an opportunity to steal.

You said that if this ball is changed to break Wayne, Wayne may not dare to dribble more.

But Guagua......

Look at him, he's too lazy to get down, can he grab the ball?

Melon itself is not a strong stealer with the ball in the NBA.

Wayne can easily be taken away by Guagua, who has practiced the ball under the hands of Tony and Tate, two experts in ball theft?

Wayne didn't pass it, but waited for Yao Ming to come up and play with him.

"Let's see, the center and the second center play a cover match!" Director Zhang is excited, and this kind of cooperation can be played by the Chinese team.

One block at a time, both Howard and Guagua were attracted to Wayne.

Wayne is the dream team's number one nightmare, after all, he is an MVP-level player in the NBA, and Lao K also invested the most defensive strength in Wayne.

As a result, Wayne did not force it after breaking through, but passed the ball behind him.

Yao Ming received the basketball outside the three-point line, did not hesitate, and shot directly!

FIBA's three-point shot is a long two points in the NBA, so Yao Ming has no problem shooting three-pointers in FIBA rules.

Guagua immediately blocked it, but Yao Ming's shot was within his reach.

And...... The Chinese team has been practicing for a long, long time.

Every night at Wukesong, on this playing field, the Chinese team has to practice a lot of three-point shooting every day.

It doesn't matter if you're inside or outside, center or guard, you have to practice threes.

In this era, three-point shooting has not yet become popular, and Younas is also a defense-oriented coach.

So Wayne proposed that he hoped to make a big fuss outside the three-point line.

If they can open up enough space, then at the critical moment, Wayne and Yao Ming can play singles with peace of mind!

Wayne: This is equivalent to moving the idea of star-studded.

Although the Chinese team does not play a star-studded shot, it mainly focuses on blocking and dismantling offenses.

But if the three-point shooting is good, it will definitely be beneficial to the Chinese team.

Younas very much agreed with Wayne's statement, so he arranged early for the players to practice their three-point shooting every night on the Wukesong court.

You have to use this home advantage, other teams can only come to Wukesong before the game to adapt to the venue, but the Chinese team has been practicing on this court for nearly a month, and the shooting feeling is quite good.

Yao Ming's practice during this period of time, the FIBA three-point shooting rate is also quite good.

It's true that everyone has practiced very hard.

But this goal is the best reward for the sweat you have paid!

"Brush!"

Steadily, Yao Ming hit a three-point shot and scored the first point in this Olympic Games for the Chinese team!

"Beautiful! Yao Ming shot a three-point shot, but I didn't expect that the Chinese team actually hit a three-point shot by the center at the beginning! ”

The scene was jubilant, Yao Ming clenched his fists and raised his arms.

3-0, the Chinese team leads the dream team!

"This ball just now was Wayne and Yao Ming playing blocking and dismantling, this cooperation, I think we will see it often in the future!" Director Zhang also smirked.

Leading by 3 points is nothing but ......

Just this offense and defense, the Chinese team showed that they really dared to fight!

Liu Wei dared to cut Anthony's ball, Wayne dribbled over half court in the face of the Dream Team, and Yao Ming shot with three points.

That's exactly what Chinese fans are eager to see!

What about the Dream Team? Gentlemen are not afraid!

In the ensuing attack, Mousse burst into the penalty area under the cover of the happy beast.

But Yao Ming ignored the happy beast at all, and directly shrank in the three-second zone and waited for Mousse to come in.

If you don't defend for three seconds, you can do whatever you want.

After Mousse burst in, he found Yao Ming guarding the basket like a mountain, so he chose to break through the ball, and the target was Guagua, who was outside the 45° three-point line on the left!

As soon as Guagua jumped out after receiving the ball, he was sealed in the face by Wayne, who arrived in time.

“Fxxk！” Coach K scolded, and the scene he was most worried about still appeared.

Yao Ming squatted in the penalty area, and Wayne swept the perimeter. If it can really do a good job, the Chinese team's defense will be quite good.

And just now, the Chinese team really did it.

Guagua was seriously disturbed by Wayne, and the trajectory was crooked the moment he shot.

The basketball finally smashed on the side of the basket, and the Chinese team carried the attack of the dream team for the second time!

"Ah, this ......" Guagua is even more embarrassed, and the two attacks are smashed on his hands!

What a hair!

Chairman Yao protected the rebound, and then quickly handed it to Liu Wei.

Suddenly, tens of thousands of fans shouted in unison: "Chinese team, come on!" Chinese team, come on! ”

Well, this slogan that everyone has been shouting since childhood, and shouting is boring.

At this moment, it is like a war drum, exciting!

Liu Wei played a block with Wayne after half time, Yao Ming continued to pull outside the three-point line, and Howard didn't dare to let go of a single step.

This also means that the inside line of the dream team is completely empty, and there is no one to protect the frame!

Before the release, it didn't matter if there was no one to protect the frame, it was impossible for the Chinese team to break through the outer blockade.

But now with Wayne, it's all different.

After the cover, Wayne immediately went down, and Liu Wei threw the basketball into the air.

Wayne ignored Anthony, who was in front of him, jumped hard, caught the basketball in the air, and smashed the ball into the frame with both hands!

Anthony could only block Wayne's body with both hands, and there was nothing he could do about it.

Originally, Guagua was not a serious No. 4 position, and his ability to protect the frame was not strong.

Wayne, on the other hand, can fight monsters like Duncan back and forth.

Unless he is a top rim protector, there is no way to really take Wayne.

A guagua took the head to defend Wayne.

"Empty spacer! Oh my God, Wayne and Liu Wei completed a very beautiful air tie-up, and Wayne was separated by Cameron. Anthony dunks the ball in!

It's beautiful, this ball is very morale-boosting!

5-0, the Chinese team continues to lead! ”

Director Zhang's eyes widened, and everyone looked stupid.

Team China, Team USA!?

Wardfa!?

Who would dare to think of this!

Really, I can't even think about it!

However, now, a scene that was unimaginable before has become a reality!

The players of the dream team were blocked by the Chinese players!

He Lao You fought this battle really fucking rich!

Guagua looked at Wayne who was walking away, his eyes glazed.

What's going on with this Nima!?

Why is it always me who has lost face since the beginning!?

Guagua, who originally opened the gambling game and said that Wayne and Sun Yue were deducted, became the first object to be deducted in this game.

The cannon on the bench shook his head and said that you should not die.

It started 5-0 and both goals went in beautifully.

This kind of opening is something that people didn't expect.

This is the American team, the Chinese team has played against the dream team four times since the 84 Olympic Games.

The least one also lost by 47 points, and the most one lost by more than 60 points!

And now?

After a few rounds, he still leads!

This time, Yao Ming continued to guard the inside line and forced Kobe Bryant to also make a breakthrough.

Kobe Bryant knew Yao Ming, and it was not good to rashly challenge him.

The ball was distributed to Mousse, who faced the UAE and made a fake throw.

The UAE is still young, and it flies at one point.

If that's Wayne's defense, you just raise your arms high to block him.

If he dares to vote, he will dare to be iron!

In the end, Mousse rushed in and went straight to the basket, and Yao Ming carried it without reservation!

Well, not everyone has the courage to stop a LeBron who has already gained momentum. James.

Under Yao Ming's strong interference, Mousse missed a layup, but Da Yao was also whistled for a foul.

FIBA only needs five fouls to be sent off, so the foul opportunity is precious.

"Brother Yao, next time I come, you have to control the number of fouls!" Wayne leaned into Yao Ming's ear and muttered a few words.

Mousse stepped up to the free throw line and hit the first free throw safely.

But on the second free throw, the basketball slid out of the hoop!

"In the second penalty confiscation, Yao Ming and Howard grabbed a piece!"

Because the FIBA rule is that basketball can be touched as long as it touches the frame, unlike the NBA, which also has interference balls.

So before the basketball slipped out, Yao Ming and Howard both pounced.

Yao Ming was the first to click on the basketball, but he didn't take the ball down because Howard interfered with it.

Seeing that the basketball was about to go out of bounds, Yao Ming, who was huge, did not hesitate and pounced directly!

"Boom!"

The press section behind the basketball hoop was bombed.

"Ouch, Yao Ming flew to save the ball, pounced on the outside of the baffle and got the ball back!"

In Sun Zhengping's exclamation, Wayne got the basketball and immediately advanced!

At this time, the Great Sage had already sneakily ran towards the bottom right corner.

Wayne's eyes were quick, and he directly conducted the ball over a long distance and delivered the ball to Sun Yue accurately.

Dasheng shoots the ball when he catches it, and his hand outside the three-point line rises and falls!

He didn't break his promise, and he did everything he promised Wayne.

Sun Yue also scored a three-pointer, 8-1, and the U.S. team called a timeout! What a fantastic start, 8 to 1! The Chinese team leads by 7 points and enters the first timeout! ”

The whole country is boiling, when did the Chinese team play the American team so domineering?

The players of the Chinese team also yelled and hugged each other, and the morale of the whole team has reached its peak!

At this time, Coach Old K looked at everyone and knocked the tactical board: "Now you know, the Chinese are here to fight with you Europe!"

Give it all your might, we've got to fucking shine and win this first game! ”

Everyone on the Dream Team nodded, and the world's most terrifying stadium meat grinder was about to start.
