What is a Dream Team?

In the past, the Olympics were non-commercial sports events, so in the past, professional players under commercial leagues such as the NBA were prohibited from participating.

Since the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, this taboo has been broken, and the U.S. men's national basketball team has organized a U.S. team led by "Flyer" Jordan, "Magic" Johnson, "Big Bird" Bird and others. They are highly skilled and invincible. It turned that year's men's basketball team into a suspenseless show, and later people called the team the dream team. Since then, the United States has successively organized NBA players to become the American national team, and there are two dreams and three dreams.

However, with the rapid progress of world basketball, more and more NBA international players have already woken up their dreams. The dream team after 2000 has made American fans have one "nightmare" after another!

Now, a real dream team is back.

In this team, there is also a terrifying monster!

Hayes took advantage of Stadamyer's high cover to break through, changed direction and dribbled past Fortessey, took two quick steps with the ball, and threw it with his left hand. Hayes just threw the ball out on tiptoe, and the referee looked at him and wanted to blow him for a walk. The arc of the ball is flat, which makes it feel like it's not a shot at all, but the ball just falls into the basket impartially. 29 to 8.

With three minutes left in the first quarter, the U.S. team already had a 21-point lead. Hayes scored 15 points and dished out four assists, five rebounds and two steals. The U.S. team's offense was almost all about him, and the Greeks were going crazy, and they had nothing to do with Hayes.

Uncanny! That's the word Greek head coach Ioannakis came up with to describe Hayes. Hayes was the slowest of the five U.S. players in the field. But he slowly managed to throw the ball in, and the defenders couldn't cover it yet. Say he's slow, right? When he runs off the ball, he is as fast as a defender. And he shot too accurately, shooting 6 of 7. As soon as Hayes made a shot, Giannakis felt like his heart was being pinched, and no matter how strange Hayes's shooting posture was, he felt like he was going to score...... Before the first quarter was over, the Greeks were in despair. The inside players have all gone up to defend it, and no one can prevent Hayes, and Greece has also chosen to wrap Hayes, and the person they let go of is Billups, because the player on the field, Billups, is the least famous. If you let Kobe Bryant and James go, wouldn't that be looking for death?

But Billups is also known for his big heart in the NBA. He received a pass and brushed two three-pointers in the bottom corner, and shot very well. The cast Yannakis was eager to ask the player to abstain. -- This game is no longer played. I can't afford to lose that man!

At the critical moment, the old K coach of the United States saved Ioannakis and saved Greece. The old K swapped Hayes and Billups for Dwight Howard and Chris Paul.

Hayes sat for a while, and the old K coach next to him smiled and asked, "Chuck, have you ever thought about getting a tattoo?" ”

"I never thought about it, I'm afraid of pain." Hayes laughed, he didn't understand what Coach K was suddenly saying. Doesn't it look strange for a black man to have no tattoos?

"I joked with LeBron the other day that I wanted to get a tattoo and get 'chosen1' on my back, and he said there was only one 'chosen1'. But looking at your performance, I think you're closer than him. Coach K said slowly: "He is tattooed on the back, and you are imprinted in the bones." ”

On LeBron James's back, a large line stands out: "chosen1". This is his first tattoo, and it is understood that it was tattooed in high school. The NBA officially explained that this tattoo means "the pride of the sky". James believes that this should be in line with his title of "King of the Ball", a human emperor, a true son of heaven.

But Hayes is stronger and more well-rounded than James. James plays with power and needs to attack with the ball, and the old K coach sometimes feels that he is a bit sticky. But Hayes doesn't need to hold the ball for long, he can usually shoot within 3 seconds after receiving the ball, and at most 5 seconds to get the ball into the most suitable position.

James is a core who needs his teammates to revolve around him, dominating his teammates before dominating the court.

Hayes first integrated the tactics and then let his teammates involuntarily revolve around him, and he dominated the whole court, which his teammates felt very relaxed and the opponents felt helpless.

"Chuck, you're the strongest person I've ever met. If you're playing point guard, I'm not confident you're going to do better. Billups, sitting on the other side of Hayes, said.

"Who's going to hold me down? I'm so praised by you that I want to fly to the sky. Hayes laughed.

Hayes sat until the second quarter, and then Kobe, James, and Stoudeyere were also replaced one after another, replaced by Wade, Anthony, Bosh and others.

With the score leading more, the players were relaxed. On a counterattack, Paul didn't shoot an easy layup, but smashed the ball to the rebound and let Howard, who was inserted in the back row, dunk, which shows how relaxed he is.

Greece also scored some points after withdrawing the inside line and maneuvering with the United States, but could not close the score.

With five minutes left in the second quarter, Hayes was back on the court. Now the Greeks have a headache when they see Hayes.

The best way to break the joint defense is to attack the triangle, if Hayes is not up, the Dream 8 team lacks an efficient interior scoring point, and Bosh and Stadamyre are also good, but they are better at attacking with the ball and scoring in sports battles. It is still possible to prevent a positional attack. But as soon as Hayes arrived, the Greek defense immediately collapsed, and no one could stop him one-on-one.

Just when the Greek team thought that Hayes would replace Bosh or Howard, Coach K asked Hayes to replace Chris Paul, Stoudeyer to replace Howard, and then Anthony to replace Bosh as power forward.

The lineup of the Dream 8 team is Hayes, Ray Allen, James, Anthony, and Stoudamire. This is the suggestion of assistant coach D'Antoni, the opponent has a slow player, and Dream 8 will play the run-and-gun tactic of 5 forwards.

The Greek team sent "Little Shark" Sotersenidis at this time. Sotersenidis is a 208-centimeter-tall, 170-kilogram center forward, and has a great power in attacking inside, but he has been criticized by scouts for being too obese, seriously affecting his athletic ability, and his speed is extremely slow.

After he came on the court, Howard also had a very painful defense, and was beaten a two-and-one.

The tactics arranged by the old K coach are very different, and when defending, let Hayes go to fight against Sottesenidis. When attacking, Hayes grabbed the rebound and was directly responsible for the ball control organization.

"You think so highly of me. This guy is two big on top of me! Is this the job of a proud son of heaven? Hayes whispered before he came on the court.

"Aren't you able to resist O'Neal? This one is definitely no problem. Coach K smiled.

"LeBron is working harder in the gym than I do, why doesn't he go on? He's so much stronger than I am. Hayes was rather depressed. However, Hayes still didn't say anything about this affecting the harmony of the relationship.

In fact, Hayes knows the reason very well, James runs faster than him, and he is fiercer than him when he plays fast breaks. When Hayes grabs a rebound under the basket, he can immediately organize an offense, and when he gets to the frontcourt, he can score a goal.

The United States put all three guards on the bench, and Yu Jia, the commentator of the Imperial Court No. 5 who was at the scene, said strangely: "Hey, what's going on?" The U.S. substitutions have replaced all the point guards. Hayes plays point guard! Could it be that Hayes is better than the three All-Star point guards from this Dream Team? ”

Commentary partner Zhang Li also said: "Maybe the United States is a little relaxed because it was eliminated by Greece in the World Championships, and now I want to humiliate the opponent by playing so much, and the opponent's current point guard Papalukas is two meters tall, and Paul is very tall when he is present, and he was hit twice in the head." But Kobe Bryant can't be Hais. It's very unreasonable to play like this. ”

As soon as Zhang Li finished speaking, Hayes took the ball towards Papalukas, the backup point guard of the Greek defense, and it was a burst of "I top". Papalukas, who is two meters tall but weighs only 92 kilograms, was devastated by Hayes's dribbling skills that started playing from the back, and he kept his distance to allow Hayes to easily carry through the half.

Hayes passed the ball to James and by the way made a cover for James.

Papalukas switched to James, and a black line appeared on his depressed head. James is also a heavyweight swingman, Hayes is a bulldozer-style dribbling, James is a tank-style, Papalukas didn't dare to get too close, this hesitation, James accelerated and rushed over, and broke through successfully from the right side. Sotersenidis made up for the defense and failed to cover James, but interfered with the shooting. James doesn't score on a layup. The Greeks hadn't had time to catch their breath yet. Stoudamire hit a one-handed layup for 2 points. 51 to 25.

Back defensively, the Greeks were ready to play Sotersenidis and found Hayes on top of the line. The audience suddenly fainted, organized with the ball when attacking, and went to the opponent's 340-pound center defense, what is this called a point guard?

What's even more amazing is that the little shark Sotersenidis was resisted by Hayes and couldn't squeeze into the inside line.

Sottsonidis struggled without the ball, and Hayes was more powerful than he could have imagined. He remembers that before the game started, coach Giannakis said more than once: "Look out to Hayes, that guy is a monster." You can play in any position, and the strength can resist O'Neill. Sophocollis (Sotersenidis), if they use Hayes to defend you, pass the ball. ”

Sotersonidis was very unconvinced when he heard this, he watched Hayes's game, and felt that the reason why Hayes was able to resist O'Neill was because the big shark was old and his strength was weak. If it were him, he should be able to push Hayes away, but now that he tried, although he could squeeze, he couldn't get to the basket, and his attack range could only be under the basket. If long-range shooting is simply impossible, his fat hands are barely together when they are raised.

Sotersennidis had no choice but to pass the ball, Vaslowpoulos jumped wide for a three-point jumper, and Hayes stuck in position and grabbed the rebound. With the exception of Stoudamire, the three of the Dream 8 team quickly rushed through the half. Hayes found Anthony with a long pass. Anthony grabbed the ball and grabbed a three-pointer, and the ball hollowed into the net. The three-point line in international basketball is a bit closer than in the NBA. For Anthony, this position is a mid-range shot, so the shooting percentage is high. 54 to 25.

The Greek attack was already in disarray, and Sotersenidis was not convinced, and used all his strength. Hayes retreated suddenly, and Sotersenidis used his strength into the air, staggering. At this time, Papalukas passed the ball, Sotersenidis received the ball unsteadily, Hayes came around from behind, slapped the ball down with one hand, and made another steal. Facing Papalukas, who was counter-attacking, Hayes slipped his back and dribbled through the half. The Greek players who returned to defend followed Anthony, James, and Ray Allen, and Hayes did not pass the ball and grabbed a three-point shot at the top of the arc. Papalukas, who was chasing back, couldn't block it and hit the ball again. 57 to 25. The U.S. team has a 32-point lead.

Before half-time, the Greek team was gone.
