Chapter 233: Dream Six Team Formation
The 2003-2004 championship ended with the Pistons. But for Hu Qingniu, his other road to the championship has just begun, this time he is hitting the top of the world.
For Larry Brown, he was at the center of the maelstrom of public opinion, beating the most luxurious team in history to win the title, which is what is commonly referred to as a crown of gods. You won't find the all-powerful superstar you used to have on this Pistons, but everyone is evenly balanced, which has deepened the impression that Larry Brown has most of the credit for his success.
In the end, the MVP was given to Melon because in the final game of the championship, Billups didn't score a double-double and looked like he was playing "poorly". And the last one is precisely the one that impresses the most. In addition, the league has always liked to praise newcomers, and when there is not much difference between veterans and newcomers, it is often potential newcomers who win awards.
The finals are over, the assembly of the Dream Six team is on track, and Larry Brown has already drawn up a roster, but it is obvious that people like Big Shark O'Neal and Peter Pan Kobe will not come. The soap drama of the Lakers has just begun, and many people are sitting on small benches waiting for the show, how can Tieke and Fat Man, who are the protagonists, be absent.
The first superstar to respond was Allen Iverson, who regretted taking Larry Brown away from the 76ers, and if Larry Brown was still around, he might be the one who won the championship. Now there's a chance to play for Larry Brown again, so why not come. And Iverson's popularity has now declined because of the fact that he drove out his coach and his record fell to the bottom.
Coupled with the impact of the new generation of stars, his competitors have increased from Maddie and Carter to James, Wade, Anthony and others, and Iverson only got a three-team this year, just because Wade took one and James took two, plus Kobe and Maddy, he could only enter the third team. A generation of new people replaces old people, there are so many fans, if you can't play a convincing performance, you will soon disappear from the fans' field of vision. He had to do something to regain his popularity. Winning for the United States, it looks like a good play.
Marbury is another star who needs to save himself, and he has long been a joke in the eyes of many. Look at what has changed to the Nets since he left, and it took Kidd just one season to transform the team from a championship contender to a championship contender.
The last time he came to New Jersey from cold Minnesota, he said that he was just a river away from his hometown of New York, and that he could play well for his hometown fans, but it was clear that he had failed. This time he really returned to his hometown of New York. He couldn't control his mouth again, and made a lot of bold words, but as a result, the Knicks still stood still.
Although he is in a big city, the ball market is large, and there are many fans, for the infamous Marbury, he still has to participate in the national team to clear his name.
Then Duncan also came, this is the player Larry Brown is most looking forward to, with a simple style of play, a hard-working character, and a big devil-like strength, it is simply a player created by God for him Larry Brown. Duncan is one of the two strongest interior players in the league today, and with him in charge, Larry Brown is much more relieved.
Then Little Melon Anthony went to war, and he also brought his friend LeBron James, and James invited Wade, so that the three brothers of the 03 generation all got on Larry Brown's chariot.
The current Zhan, Wei, and Gua are not ordinary first-year players, especially Wade, Hu Qingniu began to worry a little about him becoming a spoiler.
There are also many second-tier stars who want to play for their country, and in their opinion, the American team with such a luxurious lineup, they can get a ring as long as they come in. Larry Brown screened through them, and eventually sophomore brutalist power forward Stoudemire and teammate Sean Marion were all selected.
Also included in the strikers were Carlos Boozer and Lamar Odom. In the end, as is customary, Brown selected Emeka Okafor, a technically mature college player from the NCAA.
Although this roster does not include all the NBA superstars, it is already the strongest of the last few dream teams. The Americans' Olympic plot has been around since the day the Dream First Team was formed.
During this time, people were talking about Larry Brown, the Pistons, and Hu Qingniu listened to it with calloused ears. Now he's annoyed when he hears about it.
The angry Hu Qingniu simply closed the door and trained these bastards of the Argentine team to scream.
The first thing to train is defense, and many players are accustomed to European confrontation, thinking that reaching out is a good defense, and they don't know if NBA players can squeeze into it at this time.
Moreover, the height of the Argentine men's basketball team is generally short, and it is particularly important to rotate defense and assist defense, which is also the focus of Hu Qingniu's training.
The players in the NBA are a group of players who can't be stopped if they go crazy, and strangling the opponent to death first is what Hu Qingniu has to consider. Although in history, the Argentine men's basketball team can beat the United States team and win the championship without Hu Qingniu. But who knows what huge deviations Hu Qingniu will bring, it is necessary to try to prepare for everything.
The strength of the Argentine team is the close cooperation and the enthusiasm to fight, and under the tutelage of Hu Qingniu, they quickly adapted to the intensity of the American confrontation. In recent days, the training team has not been able to produce any training results.
NBA stars are not familiar with or used to FIBA rules, which is the biggest disadvantage of the Dream Team. Without the inside line for three seconds, Hu Qingniu can arrange as many joint defenses as possible to completely block the space of the inside line.
Hu Qingniu is curious to know how Iverson and Marbury, the two fancy boys, can score as they wish, and there is no superstar whistle in FIBA games. And Iverson, to be honest, his shots are never above the average line anymore. Whether it's a long-range shot or a mid-range shot, he's at the league's average or even lower level, and without the three-second rule, Larry Brown may be disappointed if he is the big man.
After practicing defense, you have to attack, after all, no matter how good the turtle shell is, it will be broken one day. A bright sword is the certainty of the final victory.
The Argentine has two swords, one is Manu Ginobili, who Hu Qingniu thinks can blow up the U.S. starting outside Iverson Marbury, and the other is Luis Scola who can stun Duncan by covering the team.
In the NBA, Manu is only considered a player at the level of the best sixth man, but this time in the FIBA arena, Ginobili's crazy performance, could upend people's perception of him. Specifically, Iverson uses his speed to break through the FIBA penalty area, which he can't enter, but Ginobili's serpentine pace can go in and out at will.
Hu Qingniu's offensive end will not make changes, a lot of running coordination, just to feed the ball to Ginobili and let him lead the team to victory. Hu Qingniu also believes that this man, who has begun to worry about hair loss, will not let him down.
