The Olympics put Greece in the spotlight once again.

It's a sporting event, and it's mostly made up of sports fans, and of course, it's mostly Greeks.

At this moment, Liu Mang not only represents the Chinese national team, but also represents one of the world's three major basketball balls, that is, on behalf of the Atlanta Hawks club, due to the strength of the Greek men's basketball team in recent years, it has been the world's top five strong teams since the nineties of the last century, so the NBA has a high degree of attention in Greece, Liu Mang helped Atlanta get the first basketball "world championship", which made the Greeks very unhappy. When Liu Mang's close-up appeared on the huge screen, there were bursts of boos at the scene.

Originally, the 1996 Olympic Games were the 100th anniversary of the Olympic Games in Greece, but they were preempted by Atalanta, which also led to Liu Mang booing Greek fans when he carried the Chinese team flag into the main venue, the Olympic Stadium in Athens.

Liu Mang also heard the kind or malicious eyes of the group members from the rear, and the group members behind were obviously noisy.

Liu Mang could probably guess that he was chewing on the root of his tongue again.

The athletes of the men's basketball team are also envious, jealous and hateful with the flag bearer every time.

Of course, this is not the case in all sports, mainly for male athletes, and female athletes usually have to take a group photo.

Anyway, it's not the U.S. Olympic team, and it's basically impossible for the Chinese Olympic team to have female athletes as flag bearers......

The ancients said that it is mediocre not to be envied.

Faced with envy, jealousy and hatred, Liu Mang was quickly relieved.

Since the Chinese men's basketball team returned to the Olympic Games in 1984, the strongest player in the men's basketball team has been serving as the flag bearer of the Olympic team, and athletes in other sports, especially those athletes who have always won championships, have always been dissatisfied with the men's basketball team that has never won the knockout round in the World Series can always serve as the Olympic flag bearer.

Since Liu Mang got the position of flag bearer, there have been rumors circulating in the Olympic Village where the Chinese team stays, all saying that Liu Mang is relying on the basketball team, and his fate is good, and a newcomer to join the national team can actually serve as the flag bearer......

Liu Mang also knows this, and he wants to say something about this: I'm sorry, when I first arrived, I snatched the position of the flag bearer, if you are dissatisfied, bite me......

……

……

The opening ceremony of the Greek Olympic Games is very good-looking, but Liu Mang, who has watched the opening ceremony of the 2008 Olympic Games, feels quite ordinary, mainly because of the competition of financial resources, the Greeks have high welfare and high per capita income, but because of this, the country has no money to hold the Olympic Games, and the application failed in 96 because there is no money in Atlanta.

The day after the opening ceremony, the group draws for each sport began to be in full swing.

Of course, events like football, archery, and so on, which take a long time and take a long time, started as early as the 10th.

Yao Ming and Min Lulei represented the Chinese men's basketball team and participated in the draw group.

When the results were notified to the players, Liu Mang was speechless, the players of the Chinese men's basketball team were speechless, and the coaching staff had nothing to say.

the first in the world, Serbia and Montenegro, that is, the former Yugoslavia; Third in the world, Argentina, fourth in the world, Spain, with two remaining opponents, New Zealand and Italy...... New Zealand is fine, Italy is seventh in the world......

The Chinese team ranks thirteenth in the world.

On the contrary, the United States team is the biggest favorite to win the championship, and in addition to Greece and Lithuania, which are fifth and sixth in the world, the remaining opponents are Angola, Puerto Rico and Australia......

The four coaches went to an emergency meeting, and Liu Mang also felt that his head was big, and called Yao Ming, Wang Zhizhi, Zhu Fangyu, and Li Nan, the four teammates who were familiar with it, as well as the eldest brother of Zhu Fangyu's club, Du Feng, who had just won the championship MVP, and Guo Shiqiang, the big brother of the national team, who had good connections and qualifications, to have a small meeting together.

……

"Your sister! Are you the hand of God? Why don't you shoot the United States and Greece together, and we can happily fight the landlords with the top five in the world! Liu Mang couldn't control it this time, and sprayed wildly at Yao Ming.

Yao Ming was aggrieved like a King Kong Barbie: "I just pressed the button, and I ...... it"

Yao Ming is also very helpless! He thought he could be considered the luckiest pick in NBA history, because he was the lowest probability of the Rockets getting the top pick since the lottery system was introduced.

But who knows, this shot will go on, and Group A will be like this......

"Okay, okay, don't blame Da Yao, we should be united." Big brother Guo Shiqiang thought that Liu Mang and Yao Ming had a conflict because of this.

Liu Mang hurriedly explained: "Uh...... Brother Qiang, I don't blame Da Yao, it's just that he is unhappy and wants to beat him, but he is too tall and may not be able to beat him. ”

Yao Ming still felt warm in his heart when he heard the first half, but in the second half, is Nima a human?

"But it's already like this, unity alone is not enough, we should think of a way, we must be in the top four of the group!" Liu Mang's expression suddenly became serious.

If the veteran players of the Eagles saw Liu Mang's current appearance, they would secretly shout God again.

"Figured out?" Guo Shiqiang is desperate, the other party is Spain, Argentina, Italy, and Serbia and Montenegro who inherited Yugoslavia, what can I do?

Even if Serbia and Montenegro are left, the lineup is not comparable to the Chinese team.

This is also the current mentality of the rest of the Chinese team, in the consciousness of most people in China, European and American teams, they also abuse Germany, abuse Nowitzki, play others, it seems that they have never won.

"Oh my God, what else can we do? I think we are the same as two years ago, dead and dead, we are dead this time, ......" Zhu Fangyu was so depressed that his hometown words soared.

All of a sudden, the atmosphere was very gloomy.

However, Liu Mang and Yao Ming are special cases, and Wang Zhizhi is also counted.

When he is depressed, he is most likely to be provoked, and Liu Mang began to increase the effect of the power of the head of state at this time, and Liu Mang began to flicker again...... No, it was starting to boost the confidence of his teammates, and he said with a sense of charm: "Did you forget something?" You have the best players in the world, and the best center forwards in the world! Pau in Spain? Ginobili in Argentina? Milicic in Italy? Radmanovic of Serbia and Montenegrović? I'm pinching and beating all of this! ”

Liu Mang's confident appearance is easy to infect, especially the Chinese team's teammates who have just entered the group of death who are depressed, and they are gradually affected by Liu Mang.

Originally, Liu Mang didn't have much right to speak, but when he first arrived, except for Yao Ming, Wang Zhizhi, and Zhu Fangyu, everyone else accepted him just because of his strength, but for himself, it can only be said that he has just met, and compared with other teammates who have played national team games together for many years and have played in the CBA for many years, Liu Mang is still very marginal.

But now, Liu Mang has become the backbone.

"I've always felt that our coaches are too rigid, they have a good defensive arrangement, but the offense, do you want to play something different with me?"

Seeing Liu Mang's expression, Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi have been Liu Mang's opponents for two years, so they are too familiar! Immediately feel the chrysanthemum cool......

……

……

With the end of the group ceremony on August 14th, starting on the 15th, various competitions began one after another.

In basketball, the Chinese team played Spain for the first time on the 16th, but the game had already started on the 15th.

The team that attracted the most attention was obviously the United States, who had a poor opponent in the first game on the 15th, Puerto Rico, who were ranked 19th in the world and entered the Olympics as a substitute because Russia withdrew.

People thought they were going to see a massacre, and they did see a massacre, but ...... Team America was slaughtered!

Puerto Rico beat the United States 92-73 and was a big upset at the start of the men's basketball tournament at the Olympic Games.

There is no shooting on the outside, the offense can't break the joint defense, and the inside space is small, except for Odom, Iverson, and Marbury, who "play acrobatics", they can score by various difficult moves; Boozer and Anthony's mid-to-long-range shooting performance is good, others are completely blind, Duncan is lost on the offensive end of the whole court, and the offensive rebounds are very good, only playing 8 offensive rebounds for 20 minutes, but there are a total of 9 rebounds in the whole game, that is, they can't prevent it at all, there are no defensive rebounds to grab, and there are many offensive rebounds, which proves that the American team just can't shoot!

The offense can't score, it's understandable to look at the lineup, but on the defensive end, the U.S. team was abused under the basket, and Puerto Rico scored a total of 52 points from close range and under the basket, while the U.S. team only scored 28 points in this regard, almost less than half of Puerto Rico!

The performance of the U.S. team blinded the eyes of basketball fans, and the players of the Puerto Rico team did not expect that the maximum score difference once reached 30 points, which was completely according to the U.S. team!

……

"See, capitalism is all paper tigers!"

The game between the United States team and the Puerto Rico team, the Chinese team also came to watch, and after the game where the American team was brutalized, Liu Mang looked like he was pointing at the country......

Seeing that the U.S. team was eager to find a crack in the ground and didn't give the opponent a hug after the game, and Puerto Rico was a carnival performance, the Chinese team felt incredible!

That's Puerto Rico! Even without Liu Mang, the Chinese team is confident of beating the team!

Puerto Rico didn't have much chance of making it to the finals, but with a win over the United States, one more win would give it a chance to make the finals!

"Is it really in response to the sentence 'The prince will have a kind of Xiangning'?" The players of the Chinese team are excited!

Liu Mang specially called his teammates to watch this game together today, just for this!

Fortunately, Puerto Rico is strong, and the American team is weak, and as Liu Mang remembers, he abused the American team.

And tomorrow will be the day of the Chinese team against the Spanish team! While Spain has not yet reached its peak, Liu Mang wants to just wave!
