The Chinese men's basketball team has reached the finals for the first time in history and is about to face the American Dream Team!

This news alone has swept the whole network and swiped the major web portals in China.

The charm of team ball games is vividly displayed at this moment, and even other sports in China that have won gold have been ranked after basketball projects.

In fact, if the men's football team can do this, the sensation may be bigger than basketball, but unfortunately there is no ghost coach like Wang Xiao in the football world, and there are no world-class players like Jeremy Lin and Hao Peng.

Whether the Chinese men's basketball team can defeat the American Dream Team in the final has become a topic of different opinions, and some people think that they have won the American team once in the group stage, and they can naturally win in the finals.

Some people also feel that the United States team lost the game in the group stage mainly because of the light enemy, and in the finals, those monsters of the dream team will definitely go all out, although the Chinese men's basketball team is also very strong, but it is still a little worse than the dream team.

On the NBA side of the United States, it is almost unanimously believed that the Dream Team will win.

NBA Hall of Famer and TNT TV host Charles Murphy. Barkley said: "Isn't it enough that the U.S. team has James and Durant, two double MVPs of the regular season Finals? It's impossible to lose in a crucial game with the best and best teams in the world, and I think LeBron and Kevin will definitely step up in the game and kill the game with their offense. ”

And when Barkley said this, his partner, O'Neal, a shark who is often used to disagreeing with Barkley for the sake of the show's effect, also agreed with him for the first time.

"The U.S. team, under the leadership of Lao K, has long been accustomed to winning, they are familiar with this stage and have rich experience, which is incomparable to the Chinese men's basketball team, so even if the current Chinese men's basketball team has 5 NBA players, it is difficult to defeat the U.S. team in the finals."

In addition to the two TV hosts, numerous NBA stars also took to their personal Twitter posts to express their thoughts on the game.

But there are no Curry, Harden, Leonard and others among them.

The reason is actually very simple, although the NBA people swear that the American team will win, but in fact the real reason that drives them to say this is based on their identity.

As a U.S. citizen, it's impossible to stand up for a team from another country at a time like this.

Even though the United States claims to be free of speech and is often openly criticized for national politics, when it comes to the outside world, most people still know what to say and do.

Maybe if the U.S. did lose, these people would use all the words to describe the U.S. team's defeat, but they would never do that before the game started.

And Curry, Harden, Leonard and others are in an even more awkward position at this time.

First of all, as the top superstars in the league, they did not participate in this Olympics due to personal reasons, resulting in the strength of the American team is far less strong than before.

Secondly, these people are all disciples brought out by Wang Xiao, and they have also followed Wang Xiao to obtain various honors, and it is not appropriate to support that side at this time.

However, in this almost one-sided evaluation, it still made people who are interested find a slight difference.

When did the American Dream Team participate in a game that caused such a wide discussion?

Even in 08 and 12 when the finals faced Spain, I had never seen so many people pop up to comment on how big the American team was, because it was already common knowledge that the American team would win.

……

"So, the reason why they are like this is because they feel threatened, they subconsciously want to show solidarity in this way, and they also want to increase their own confidence."

When Wang Xiao said this, he had a slight smile on his face.

Across from Wang Xiao sat Da Yao, and the two of them were eating at a high-end restaurant in Rio de Janeiro.

"Although you have said this more than once, I still did not expect that you could really lead them to such a point." Da Yao looked at Wang Xiao, his eyes full of sighs. "In the next finals, whether you can beat the American team or not, you have created a miracle in the history of the Chinese men's basketball team."

Wang Xiao shook his head, "I am sure to win, and winning the silver medal is a failure in my opinion." ”

This is not Wang Xiao's own opinion, but the upgrade requirements of the system.

If he can't win the championship and can't complete the task of upgrading the system, it will be a failure for Wang Xiao, and the honor brought by winning the championship and winning the gold medal is just an incidental reward for him.

Da Yao was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then shook his head and smiled bitterly: "This may be one of the reasons why you can do all this." ”

Wang Xiao shook his head and said suddenly: "Having said that, there is one thing I want to tell you, if tomorrow's game can be won, after that, I am ready to resign as the head coach of the Chinese men's basketball team." ”

Da Yao was stunned, "Resign as the head coach of the Chinese men's basketball team?" Why? ”

"It's not why, it's just that I feel too busy." Wang Xiao smiled: "The work of the NBA head coach is actually quite busy, coupled with the work of the national team, I basically can't go home a few times a year, and don't forget, my personal problems have not been solved, I can't be a single for the rest of my life." ”

"But ......" Da Yao wanted to say something, but Wang Xiao took the lead.

"Don't worry, in fact, my resignation as head coach will definitely benefit you." Wang Xiao nodded the table, "The men's basketball team has achieved such good results this year, the leadership position of the Basketball Association must be moved, and many people are going to be promoted, aren't you going to run for the chairman of the Basketball Association?" This is a great opportunity, and with your influence, there is a good chance that you will be elected. ”

"When you become the president of the basketball association, my existence is actually not a good thing for you, because all the credit will be credited to me."

"But in fact, the reason why this Chinese men's basketball team is strong is because of Jeremy Lin and Hao Peng, not my coaching ability, even without me, as long as they are still in the team, the Chinese men's basketball team is still the top team that can compete with the American team."

Da Yao was silent, he understood what Wang Xiao meant, but he was silent for a moment and couldn't help but say: "There is a World Cup after the Olympic Games, and there will be a new Olympic Games in four years, don't you want to lead them to continue to win honors in the international arena?" How many times can you win these honors in your lifetime? ”

Wang Xiao shook his head slightly and said with a smile: "Once is enough." ”
