"Whoa......

"Bang ......"

"Whoa......

"Whoa......

On the afternoon of August 31, Liu Mang devoted himself to preparations.

On the second day of the Chinese team's first semi-finals, when watching the match between the United States team and the Greek team, it was still very

Liu Mang remembered that in the original time and space, in the 2006 World Championships, the Greek team was the runner-up, and only lost to Spain in the final.

But it's still a lot of pressure!

The mood of the Chinese team players is now like that when they are taking the exam, the first page of the test paper is still taking the 99 multiplication table, and when they turn to the second page, it suddenly becomes a nuclear fusion equation......

In the minds of basketball fans, the U.S. team is definitely the world hegemon.

Even if they have lost two consecutive World Series, they can't shake their place in people's minds.

As long as the Olympic Committee and the World Basketball Federation allow professional basketball players to participate in international competitions, then the supremacy of the American team will be difficult to shake, and it is not something that other countries can shake by winning once or twice, and they can always send a bunch of top 50 or even top 30 and 20 players in the world to the Olympics or the World Championships.

In fact, if professional athletes were not allowed to participate in international competitions, the hegemony of the American team would have been more obvious after the collapse of Yugoslavia and the Soviet Union......

The Chinese team directly met the strongest team in their minds, and of course there was a lot of pressure.

Including Liu Mang, there is a lot of pressure.

But if you really want to talk about it, the U.S. team may be the weakest of the three Chinese opponents of Spain, the United States, and Greece.

In the original time and space, Spain, Greece, and the United States happened to be the top three, and the Greek team killed the United States in the semifinals.

Therefore, playing against the American team, for the Chinese team, is the best situation encountered.

However, Liu Mang is more confident than the last time he played against the American team!

The main confidence comes from Liu Mang's own and Yao Ming's improvement in the past two years!

……

"We have to pay attention, the other party will definitely be stronger this time than the last time!" Guo Shiqiang emphasized in the national team meeting.

"We should pay attention to the US team this time, they will definitely be more motivated than the last time they played against us, and we don't think that winning once is better than them......," Li Nan also emphasized.

After the afternoon training, the head coach of the Chinese team, Silver Fox Harris, held a national team meeting.

Silver Fox listened to the translation of the interpreter accompanying the team and nodded in agreement.

However, Silver Fox, as the head coach, couldn't keep watching the air pressure get lower and lower, and he continued: "But the United States team is the weakest team in the top four, and we play them better than the other two countries." ”

Guo Shiqiang and Li Nan are future head coaches, even the head coaches of the national team, and they may not be better than the Silver Fox in terms of business level, but they are stronger in one place, and they know the level of their country's players better.

can defeat strong teams, pitchers can score so many points, most of them rely on Liu Mang and Yao Ming, and even Wang Zhizhi enjoys Liu Mang's passing and Yao Ming's containment defense, so that he can rank third in the national team with an average of 13 points per game.

And in this World Championships, the Chinese team scored doubles, and they were three NBA players.

Li Nan and Guo Shiqiang, who have very good coaching skills, often play a key role in team meetings.

The two veterans emphasized that the strength of the American team is not without reason, there is too much public opinion in favor of the Chinese team to win, although many fans around the world like the strength of the American team, but once a team is likely to beat them, the fans are almost one-sided in favor of the American team's opponent.

I don't want to see the U.S. team dominate the world basketball world all the time, then the Olympics and the World Championships will be meaningless, and there is basically nothing else to see except for the United States to show its strength.

In recent years, basketball has become more and more popular, which has a lot to do with the fact that the former Yugoslavia and Argentina have won the world championship, which has mobilized the enthusiasm of some countries to cultivate basketball talents.

And the Chinese fans ...... I always feel that if I win once, I should win forever, and I am more confident than the players of the Chinese team.

The Chinese team has been preparing for a possible match against the United States, and the tactical preparations have been made for a long time, and the coaching staff has been following the game of the American team.

The Chinese men's basketball team hires the Silver Fox with a high salary, and also raises the salary, the purpose is obvious, the Silver Fox knows the NBA players very well, and the strong team, except for the Greek team, there are no NBA stars, the United States team, the Argentine team, and the Spanish team, are all a large number of NBA stars, and the core of the Chinese team Liu Mang and Yao Ming are the top superstars in their respective positions in the NBA.

With Li Nan and Guo Shiqiang's clear self-awareness, and Silver Fox's understanding of NBA stars, the Chinese team has been as prepared as possible in terms of tactics.

Now it's time for the game!

The Chinese team is working hard to prepare for the game, and the American team does not despise the Chinese team.

There may have been some contempt last time, but after losing once, the players of this American team did not dare to be careless.

In particular, most of the main players of the Dream Six team that lost to the Chinese team last time also participated in this World Championships this time.

When Liu Mang first saw the squad of the U.S. team, he was very glad that Duncan, who has now become better in the middle of the pitch, was unwilling to participate in this World Championships, and last time he lost his face and did not dare to play international games with Larry Brown again.

After a few games, Duncan understood the gap between Larry Brown and Popovich.

Tactically value the opponent, and strategically make your side confident.

After some discussion, Yao Ming concluded by saying, "We have won them once, and we have a second time!" For the sake of our country, for the sake of the fans, tomorrow's game, we will play as if it were the last game! ”

……

……

Time was very fast, and on September 1st, the day of the match between the Chinese team and the American team arrived.

"Uncle, Dinah is in such a complicated mood right now." Little Lori sat next to Liu Mang with her hands on her chest, looking like she was thinking about something.

"What's complicated?" Liu Mang asked while eating a nutritious meal.

"Uncle, don't you have pressure? We are very strong in the United States! Little Lori felt that her country's team was being despised and Liu Mang ate a nutritious meal so happily, it didn't look like she was going to fight with the strongest team in the world at all.

"Stress...... Yes, by the way, why are you so complicated little brat? Liu Mang replied casually.

"Dinah has grown up!"

"Yes, yes...... Then Dinah, who has grown up, tell me where are your feelings? ”

"Dinah wants Uncle to win, but she doesn't want to see our country lose." Little Lori made a tangled look again.

"That's ......" Liu Mang thought for a while and said, "Then Dinah, you support my uncle and me, and the Chinese team wins!" ”

"Makes sense...... Wait, uncle, is this any different from our country losing? ”
