Chapter 672: True and False Dream Team!

This time, the national team came to West Lake City for a large training lineup.

All the players of the first team led by the head coach of the men's basketball team, Younas, and the second team led by assistant coach Adijan all came here.

Since the national team divided the national team into one team and two teams in order to prepare for the Olympic Games, it is the first time that the national team has been so neat.

It's July 17th, the draw for the Olympics is July 22nd, and the list of Olympic personnel will be made after that.

For the 32 players in the current first and second teams, these five days are the most important time.

After so many years of hard work, these five days will determine whether they can appear at the Olympics in the capital.

So, returning to the national team again this time, Yes can clearly feel how crazy and scrappy his teammates are in these national teams.

This Stankovic Cup is not the last warm-up for the Chinese men's basketball team before the Olympic Games, in addition to the Stankovic Cup in West Lake City, the men's basketball team also has the Diamond Cup held in Jinling City on July 29.

In terms of gold content, the Diamond Cup is much larger than the Stankovic Cup.

The Diamond Cup is one of the three major events organized by FIBA, second only to the Olympic Games and the World Championships, only the champion teams of each state are eligible to participate, of course, qualifying does not mean that you must participate, you can also refuse, such as this year's Diamond Cup, the champion of the American Championship The United States team did not participate, and the champion of the European Championship, Russia, did not participate.

It can also be seen from this that the International Basketball Association has a long way to go to make the Diamond Cup the third largest event after the Olympics and the World Championships.

Russia, the champion of this year's European Championships, did not come, but Spain and Italy, the champions of the previous two European Championships, came.

But the champion of the American Championships never came.

If the champion of the US Championship does not come, the Diamond Cup will not have any gold content at all, and there will be no recognition.

It can only be said that the American team is so influential.

No worldwide basketball game without Team USA has no recognition.

So much so that this year's Diamond Cup is likely to be the last Diamond Cup, and the third major tournament made by FIBA may only survive for three times, which has to be said to be a pity.

The Diamond Cup is much more important than the Stankovic Cup, and the gold content is much higher, but for most players in the men's national basketball team now, it doesn't make sense to think that far ahead.

Now they need to play these three matches against Serbia, Angola and Russia's three Stankovic Cups.

Serbia and Russia will not play in these three games, and the only team that will play will be Angola, but the strength of this African champion is quite limited.

In this case, the role of this year's Stankovic Cup in West Lake City is to select the remaining main list of the Chinese men's basketball team.

The main 12 players of the men's basketball team participating in the Olympic Games this year have confirmed the captain Ye Si, the vice captain Yao Ming, as well as Wang Zhizhi, Yi Jianlian, and Sun Yue.

That's right, even if it's Zhu Fangyu, Wang Shipeng and other bigwigs haven't decided yet.

For the Chinese team, with Ye Si and Yao Ming, the only goal for the Chinese team to make history at the Olympics is to beat the United States.

This time, the Chinese national team selected the main team not to select players with strong strength and experience, but to select players who are suitable to play the American team!

Now the roster of the American Dream Team is a bit difficult to deliver, which makes the Chinese national team also have some delays in determining the personnel.

Fortunately, the Dream Team has to determine the candidates in the past two days, so it does not affect the selection of the main team of the Chinese men's basketball team.

The reason why the selection of Dream Team personnel this year is so difficult to give birth to is completely caused by James's defection to the Knights.

Regarding the personnel of this year's Dream Team, except for one star position that must be reserved for the NCAA, the positions of the other eleven players have actually all been agreed before.

Although there are many stars in the NBA, you have to be willing to play for the U.S. national team.

James, Kobe, Wade, Anthony, Bosh, Deron Williams, Dwight Howard, Boozer, Kidd, Chris Paul, Prince.

Those eleven players, plus the NCAA player's hottest Yes No. 2 Derrick Rose this year, are just 12 players.

But after James' trade happened, the Dream Team broke out one after another that players chose to quit.

The first to exit was Deron Williams, who was sent to the Cavaliers by the Heat in this trade for James.

Sent by Pat Riley from beautiful Miami to the hellish place of Cleveland, Deron Williams will definitely not hate James and Wade less than he does for Yes.

In this case, Deron Williams simply doesn't want to be teammates with James and Wade.

If his coffee position is similar to James Wade, he can go to the dream team and James Wade to say goodbye, just his coffee position, what is he doing in the dream team, is he humiliated?

Rather than that, it's better to quit.

After Deron withdrew, Chris Paul also withdrew.

The third leader of his own family was taken away by his good brother Green, and Chris Paul really couldn't swallow this breath.

He kindly took Chandler to a party with James Wade and them this summer, and he really didn't expect that when he returned to Goose City, the Chandler he took out would run away with someone else!

And he was kept in the dark like an honest man.

Three brothers, James is the black hand, Wade favors James, and Anthony is flickering in words.

I thought that the three brothers were a lifelong friendship, but I didn't expect them to be a group of superficial brothers.

Who can stand this?

During this time, Chris Paul felt that his cheeks were a lot bigger.

Deron Williams quit when he quit, he would not have been welcomed in the dream team, and now James is the most controversial, but if you want to say who has the most bad reputation in the entire NBA, DeLong has to be.

Delon didn't come, a replacement could be found, although Arenas still refused, but Billups agreed, under Anthony's words to persuade Billups to come out and relax, Billups felt that it made sense, participating in the Dream Team can indeed distract people, and a victory in the Olympics on Yes can be regarded as a consolation.

DeLong's exit was replaced by Billups, which is doable.

But Chris Paul's exit is really a headache.

Especially for the head coach of the Dream Team, Coach K, Chris Paul and Kidd are the two most important playmakers, and Derrick Rose is actually a mascot.

In his playbook, he doesn't need a point guard like Derrick Rose.

Fortunately, Billups was willing to join the Dream Team under Anthony's persuasion, otherwise he would have a real headache.

In the past few years, he has been overwhelmed by the coach Lorenzo Romar of the University of Washington in the NCAA, and the 2006 World Championships with the disgrace of the Dream Seven team did not even get the runner-up, this year's Beijing Olympics is a year for him to prove himself, and he wants to make his Dream Eight team shine in the whole world like the Dream One of the year!

Chris Paul didn't want to participate in Dream Eight, and Coach K was always unwilling to give up and made a last-ditch effort at the last minute, but in the end Chris Paul still didn't meet him.

In the end, Coach K can only find someone to replace from other American Dream Team stars, and Chris Paul's position really can't find a good replacement, and there are not many point guards in the league who are good offensively and defensively, especially if Delon can't be selected.

Fortunately, after the Dream Team has Billups and Kidd, the point guard position is enough, but there is only one Howard in the center position.

This needs to be corrected, and someone needs to resist Yao Ming under special circumstances.

And is there a better fit in the entire league than O'Neal?

O'Neal was able to average more than 20+ per game in the Cavaliers last season and returned to the top.

Just convincing O'Neill to return to the Dream Team is not that easy.

In short, this year's Dream Team is definitely the most ill-fated one.

Until the game between the Chinese men's basketball team and the Serbian men's basketball team started, the dream team still did not have any confirmed news.

On July 17, 2008, in this game with Serbia, the starters of the Chinese men's basketball team were center Yao Ming, power forward Yi Jianlian, small forward Zhou Peng, and guards Yes and Sun Yue.

This is a very athletic lineup, and the height is also quite high, the shortest in the whole lineup is Ye Si's 1.95m, and the lowest remaining is Sun Yue's 2.05m.

Obviously, Younas let Zhou Peng, a young player who has risen in the CBA this year, replace Zhu Wan as a starter, which is an attempt at the lineup, and Zhou Peng's athleticism and defense are indeed rare in the Chinese men's basketball team.

Serbia is a strong team, but that doesn't mean this Serbia is strong, and Yes didn't see his teammate Milicic in the SuperSonics in this team.

Serbia did not qualify for this year's Olympics and Milicic took an early leave.

Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian, Zhou Peng, Ye Si and Sun Yue's lineup played a quarter, Serbia collapsed, and the Chinese men's basketball team beat Serbia 30-14 in a single quarter with the support of the fans in West Lake City at the Huanglong Arena!

Although I know that China is very strong now, although I know that Serbia has no main players and is very rookie, but no matter how rookie it is, this is also a European team!

"Is China so strong now?!"

Looking at Serbia being knocked down on TV, Coach K was really shocked!

The connection between Yes and Yao Ming is simply unstoppable!

Especially Yes's god-level jumping pass, when equipped with four such tall players around, the whole Chinese team looks really unstoppable!

At the very least, a team like Serbia, that must not be stopped!

"Now the Chinese team led by Yes is simply a vegetable maniac!"

Coach K was shocked, he knew very well that there were a lot of people in his team who wanted to fix it at this year's Olympics Yes, and he wanted to, but ......

"It doesn't seem so easy to abuse China in this year's Olympics......"

Abuse China by 30 points, this is the goal of Coach K and many Dream Team players, because since Dream Eight's goal is to catch up with Dream One, it naturally needs to beat the opponent by more than 30 points per game.

Before the Olympic final, Mengyi beat his opponent by more than 40 points, and only won Croatia by 32 points until the final.

The strength of the Chinese team is very impressive to Coach K, this sadistic team is not so sadistic.

When the game was over, the Chinese national team defeated Serbia by 50 points 116-66 at the Huanglong Stadium!

The game was humiliated by 50 points, and the Serbian players did not feel humiliated, and at the end of the game, the Serbian players rushed to Yes.

The Serbian player doesn't seem to care if he loses by 50 points at all.

"Because of Milicic, Yes is extremely popular in Serbia, and in Serbia, Yes is called the Savior, the Gospel, and he saved the pride of the whole Serbia, Dakomilisic!"

As the CCTV commentator of this game, Su Skirt was very proud when she said these words, and the audience in front of the TV was also proud when they looked at the group of excited and even some of them cried after taking a photo with Ye Si on the TV.

"What is an international superstar? That's what an international superstar is! ”

"This is Yes's influence in the world!"

"It reminds me of the Asian Championships in Japan last year, where all the players were chasing Yes, and the whole Asian Championships was chasing Yes."

"The appearance of Ye Si not only makes the Chinese team's game extremely beautiful, perhaps, we now look more like a dream team like the dream team!"

"We were called the dream team by the Japanese media at the Asian Championships in Japan last year!"

For fans in Westlake City, it was really enjoyable to see such a picture after the game.

"The value of these five thousand dollars is too TM!"

After the match between the Chinese team and the Serbian team, the entire West Lake City, the whole of China, was shocked by the Serbian players chasing Yes and crying because of the photo with Yes.

Yess also caused a stir in Asia at the Asian Championships in Japan last year.

However, that is backward Asia!

It's not about discrimination, although Europeans, Asians, and Africans are all human, all the same, but really in the minds of most people, Europeans are indeed more that point.

Being able to get these Europeans, these whites chasing like this, really makes many people understand, it turns out that they usually say that Yes is not only powerful in China, but also in the world, it is really not their boasting, not their YY!

"Yes is China's business card, the best business card, there is no doubt about it!"

When Mr. Zhang Lili shouted this sentence, it was quickly verified.

On July 19 and July 20, the Chinese men's basketball team defeated the African champion Angola and the European champion Russia 2 team 120-79, 118-60 one after another.

After the game, the players of both teams were just as crazy as the players of Serbia.

And just when the whole of China began to blow the Yes storm, on July 21, 2008, the day before the Olympic group draw, the Dream Team finally announced its 12-man squad!

James, Kobe, Wade, Bosh, Anthony, O'Neal, Howard, Boozer, Prince, Kidd, Rose, Billups.

Starry-studded!

And almost at the same time, the 12-man roster of the Chinese men's basketball team was also announced.

Ye Si, Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian, Wang Zhizhi, Sun Yue, Zhu Fangyu, Wang Shipeng, Zhou Peng, Chen Jianghua, Du Feng, Liu Wei, Ding Jinhui.

The lineup is incredible!
