Chapter 623: True and False Meng Xu
On August 29, 2004, the last day of the Athens Olympic Games, after 16 days of fierce struggle, most of the medals in various events have been famous, and the unprecedentedly large Chinese Olympic delegation also surpassed Russia for the first time in history with a record 32 gold medals, ranking second in the overall medal table. However, the Olympic Games has the highest gold content, and it is also the gold medal with the highest attention and influence, and the final destination will not be decided until today, that is, the gold medal in the Olympic men's basketball competition.
In the men's basketball game of this Olympic Games, the United States men's basketball team and the Serbian and Montenegro men's basketball team, the two giants of world basketball all failed in the group stage, and the traditional strong teams Russian men's basketball team and French men's basketball team did not even get a ticket to participate in the Olympic Games, so after a series of games, the Chinese men's basketball team and the Argentine men's basketball team, the two teams that have never reached the Olympic finals in history, have ushered in the opportunity to create history and a new era.
On August 29, Beijing time, at 3 o'clock in the morning, in the applause and cheers of the audience, all the players of the Chinese men's basketball team and the Argentine men's basketball team walked out of the player tunnel one after another and stepped onto the stage of the men's basketball finals OAKA-Olympic Indoor Stadium.
One of the main venues of the Athens Olympic Games, the OAKA-Olympic Indoor Stadium, which was previously divided into several areas for gymnastics, trampoline and other sports, has today become a professional basketball stadium, with a capacity of 19,250 spectators, and a large number of spectators from China and Argentina poured into the stadium to witness this historic moment. At the same time, the president of the International Olympic Committee, the main officials of the Olympic Committee, the representatives of the Beijing Olympic Organizing Committee, and NBA President David Stern and others also came to the OAKA-Olympic Indoor Stadium today to watch the match between the Chinese men's basketball team and the Argentine men's basketball team.
In the VIP seat of the OAKA-Olympic Indoor Stadium, the members of the Beijing Olympic Organizing Committee headed by Lu Qi, Chairman of the Beijing Olympic Committee, and Yuan Wei, Executive Chairman, are looking at the Chinese men's basketball players who are warming up on the court with a spring face, and the performance of the Chinese men's basketball team in this Olympic Games has made the General Administration of Sports and even the country's top leaders very satisfied, especially the most important Olympic men's basketball competition, this is known as a top ten gold medal.

"Audience friends, hello everyone, this is CCTV, today we are broadcasting this game for you, is the final of the men's basketball game of the Athens Olympic Games, a game between the Chinese basketball team and the Argentine men's basketball team, after eliminating the third place in the European Championship Italy, our national men's basketball team has created the best results in the history of the Olympic Games, this is the first time in the history of our Chinese men's basketball team to reach the finals of the Olympic Games, maybe today, our men's basketball will create a new era, A golden age for the Chinese men's basketball team! Although it is the early morning of Beijing time, but Mr. Zhang Li did not have the slightest fatigue, but seemed extremely excited, for a basketball person like Zhang Lili, to be able to watch his juniors, watch his country's team, and walk on the highest stage of the world arena, just like his own personal experience, maybe Zhang Li had such a dream when he was young.
"Director Zhang is right, but our opponent in this game is also a very strong opponent, the Argentine men's basketball team has eliminated the United States team in the last World Championships, if it weren't for Ginobili's accidental injury, maybe the champion of the last World Championships is Argentina, and in this Olympic Games, the Argentine men's basketball team also performed very well, successively eliminated the strength of Greece and Spain." Compared with Zhang Lili, who is extremely excited and full of confidence in the Chinese men's basketball team, Sun Weiping will be a little more rational, although Sun Weiping also hopes that the Chinese men's basketball team can defeat Argentina and win the gold medal in the Olympic Games.
"Okay, the game is about to start, let's introduce the starting lineups of both teams first." After calming down a little and holding back the excitement in his heart, Mr. Zhang Li picked up the starting lists of both sides and began to introduce the starting lineups of both sides in today's game.
"On the side of our national team, the starting center is Yao Ming, Yao Ming's performance in this Olympic Games is very good, 7 games can contribute an average of 21 points, 9.7 rebounds, 2 blocks per game, the average points per game and the number of blocks per game in the national team ranked second, the average rebounds per game ranked first, our national team was able to reach the final finals, Yao Ming's outstanding performance is also indispensable. The starting big forward is Wang Zhizhi, Wang Zhizhi's performance in this Olympic Games is also very stable, it is no exaggeration to say that Dazhi and Da Yao partner formed an inside line, is one of the strongest inside combinations in this Olympic Games. And in the small forward position, today's starter is still Meng Xu, Meng Xu's task today is very heavy, not only to connect the team's offense, but also to defend Argentina's number one star Ginobili, whether we can beat Argentina, the defense of Ginobili is a very critical factor. Today's starting point guard is still Li Nan, and the organization guard Liu Wei, Liu Wei's performance in this Olympic Games can also be called remarkable. Teacher Zhang Lili finished introducing the starting list of the Huaguo men's basketball team in one breath.
"In terms of the Argentine men's basketball team, the organizational guard who started today is Juan Sanchez, this is a very well-rounded guard, who has played for the Hawks, 76ers and many other teams, and is affectionately called "Pepe" by Argentine fans, in terms of scoring guard, today's starter is Manu Ginobili, who currently plays for the San Antonio Spurs, is a very strong player, and the starting position at the small forward position is Andres Nocioni from the Chicago Bulls, The power forward is Luis Scola, who has been selected by the Spurs but has not yet entered the NBA, and the main center is also Faberio Oberto from the San Antonio Spurs, and three of the five main players of the Argentine men's basketball team are from the Spurs. After introducing the starting lineup of the Argentine men's basketball team, Sun Zhengping also smiled a little unkindly, Argentina's starting lineup can be renamed the second team of the Spurs after completion.
Viewers and friends who are familiar with the NBA know that Meng Xu once played for the San Antonio Spurs, and was selected by the Spurs in the same year as Manu Ginobili, but Ginobili only entered the NBA after a lapse of three years, and Ginobili entered the NBA, because the breakthrough method was very similar to Meng Xu, and he was also cultivated as Meng Xu's replacement in the Spurs, so Ginobili had the title of "poor version of Meng Xu". Taking advantage of the time before the game started, Zhang Reasonable also introduced the relationship between Meng Xu, Spurs, and Ginobili to the audience in front of the TV by the way, and after a general introduction, Zhang Reasonable changed the conversation again: "There is a real and false Monkey King in Journey to the West, and today's game may also stage a real or false Meng Xu." “
"True or false Meng Xu? It's kind of interesting! “
