If for the United States, the big dramas staged by Zhuang Fei in Boston and Los Angeles this year are the things they are most concerned about, then for the world, this year's Olympic Games in Athens is the most important thing, and the slogan of the world this year is the 100th anniversary of the Olympic Games, return to Athens, and Zhuang Fei is impossible to escape in the face of such a major event.

So he must participate this year, not only is he the special basketball commentator of CBS this year, but more importantly, he is now one of the deputy heads of the Chinese Olympic delegation, as the first image ambassador of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games and the chairman of the Chinese Basketball Association, Zhuang Fei's other position is the vice chairman of the Beijing Olympic Committee, of course, these are all virtual, the name looks loud but is actually virtual, he has no real power, although the real power is not much, but the benefits are not small, In fact, many people in the United States have helped him over the years, and his names have also done him a lot of favors.

At least Zhuang Fei didn't come to make trouble for him like other basketball novels, or which leader dared to point fingers at him, after all, although Zhuang Fei didn't have any real power, he was also a cadre in the Celestial Empire who enjoyed the treatment of deputy ministers. In this case, as an important leader of the 2008 Olympic Games, Zhuang Fei must attend the closing ceremony of the Olympic flag handover ceremony, and also need to cheer for Chinese basketball, after all, as the president of the Basketball Association, it is not appropriate not to go to the scene for the most important game of basketball.

Of course, for Zhuang Fei, participating in the Olympic Games is a very interesting thing, and he does not have the slightest resistance, which is also what he is willing to do, and take this opportunity Zhuang Fei also took Scarlett and Zhuang Lin back to his hometown in Hebei to take his family to watch the Olympics, and then the whole family also traveled to Europe for a month, which is also an absolutely rare opportunity for Zhuang Fei, because Zhuang Fei has been too busy in the United States in recent years, and he has not gone home during the Chinese New Year every year. Even Zhuang Fei's parents refused Zhuang Fei's request to go to the United States during the Chinese New Year, these two old people were frightened by the Chinatown in the United States, and they didn't like the environment in the United States, plus they didn't want to cause trouble for Zhuang Fei.

You must know that every year the Chinese New Year is the busiest sprint stage in the NBA, and it is precisely because of this that Zhuang Fei has always felt a little ashamed. Especially after leaving Zhuang Lin in the United States, these two old people not only can't see their youngest son, but even their grandson can't see it, Zhuang Lin, a ball maniac, now where does he have any sense of family, with basketball he can ignore anything, although he has broken out of the world in the United States in recent years, this player who will become a high school student in September this year has been rated by many American media as the eleventh player among the high school students in this class, and even some draft nets have thought that he can become the 25th rookie in the 2009 NBA draft, Of course. Naturally, there are many reasons for Zhuang Fei, Coach Z's nephew, even if his ability is inferior, he needs to be picked up, just like Jordan's son. However, in Zhuang Fei's view, the praise of Zhuang Lin by these media is not a boast, or even a low one, this defender is definitely the first in strength among children of the same age, if it were not for the fact that the United States is still prejudiced against Asian defenders. Zhuang Lin's ability will not be ignored by them.

In any case, this year's Olympic Games are a happy thing for Zhuang Fei's family, if it was four or five years ago. If Zhuang Fei's family still has prejudice against Scarlett, then now there is no such prejudice, after all, Scarlett took care of Zhuang Lin for several years without merit and hard work, and although she now speaks Chinese very lamely, she can also understand most of them and be able to express her general meaning, in this case, the gap between the two sides is naturally eliminated, and now the biggest problem of Zhuang Fei and Scarlett is not on Zhuang Fei's family and Scarlett's side, but on Zhuang Fei and Scarlett's family's side, Zhuang Fei is a fan of the New York Knicks, and Zhuang Fei is known to be the number one enemy of the New York Knicks.

Of course, Zhuang Fei took the whole family to Europe on July 25, and on August 10, he took the whole family to run all over in Europe, and after August 10th, Zhuang Fei could not accompany them, Zhuang Fei also needed to start his own work, but the responsibility of accompanying his family was also handed over to Scarlett and Zhuang Lin, as the deputy head of the Chinese Olympic delegation, Zhuang Fei also did not need to be an officer, the Chinese delegation plus Zhuang Fei had a total of six deputy heads, a secretary general, Except for Zhuang Fei, who is the first deputy head of the Beijing Olympic Committee, everyone else is the deputy director of the General Administration of Sports, of course, I am afraid that all the delegations in the world will not be able to find such a huge leadership lineup, so there is no problem with the lack of Zhuang Fei, and this is also the reason why Zhuang Fei is willing to accept the invitation of CBS to explain the US men's basketball game throughout the whole process, anyway, he is here to travel to the Olympics at public expense.

As one of the most influential people in the world, although Zhuang Fei is only a basketball commentator in the Olympic Games, the influence caused by Zhuang Fei everywhere is definitely stronger than that of many big-name sports stars, at least no player in the dream team can compare with Zhuang Fei in terms of influence, and because of the absence of the NBA's most popular star Carter and the absence of the scoring champion Iverson, the most watched player of the dream team has become Maddie, who has won the MVP of the Finals for two consecutive years, and Wade, who has been named a god in one fell swoop this year. Duncan, the captain of the U.S. team and the chess players of the U.S. delegation, did not attract much attention, but to Zhuang Fei's surprise, the popularity of the Chinese basketball team in Athens is also extremely high, and even in this Olympic Games, the Chinese men's basketball team's odds of winning the championship are ranked fifth with 100.

That is to say, many people think that the Chinese team can have the strength to impact the top four, and in fact, the inside combination of Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi of this team is indeed able to make many people look forward to it, these two are NBA first-line stars, Yao Ming is also Xinke's finals MVP, in addition to these two, there is an NCAA champion power forward and an NBA rotation small forward Xue Yuyang in the team, of course, there is a big fat man who basically can't play in the NBA Battle and a young interior Moko who was selected by the Timberwolves in the first round this yearIn addition to the American team, the Chinese team is definitely the team with the most NBA players, if it is not for the bad guard players, this Chinese team is estimated to have a higher possibility, of course, all this is also thanks to the Timberwolves owner Glenn Taylor, although he made Chinese money. But it also contributed 4 NBA players to Chinese basketball.

In this year's Olympic Games, the United States team and the Chinese team are not in the same group, the Chinese team is divided into Group A, in addition to the Chinese team, there are Argentina, Spain, New Zealand, Italy and Serbia and Montenegro, these five teams are very strong. However, judging from the odds of the gambling company, China is only ranked behind Argentina and Serbia and Montenegrea, these two teams were the champions and runners-up of the World Championships the year before last, so it is generally no problem for the Chinese team to qualify, and it is even possible to beat the top two of Serbia and Montenegro to advance, after all, the whole world now knows that Serbia and Montenegro are playing civil strife, and this team is unstable.

And in fact, after the start of this year's Olympics, this is indeed the case, as the three strongest teams in this group. Serbia and Montenegro took the lead in tragedy, this team lost to Spain at the beginning, which is not a very favored team, Spain has only slowly risen this year, the country's basketball was not very strong before, but the 80 generation has produced many talents one after another. Therefore, Zhuang Fei is more optimistic that this team can become a dark horse, of course, in addition to the surprise of Zhuang Fei in Spain, the Chinese team is actually very surprising to Zhuang Fei. Because of the team's style of play, Zhuang Fei reminded him of the three-inside tactic he played in the Timberwolves, that is, the inverted triangle tactic, but now the head coach of the Chinese team, Stephen Green, has directly moved this tactic to the Olympics.

And now the three starting insiders of the Chinese team are Yao Ming, Wang Zhizhi and Yi Jianlian, and what surprised Zhuang Fei even more. The inverted triangle tactics of this three-inside tactic are not just copied from Zhuang Fei's one, this Zhuang Fei's student threw two organizational guards on the court in addition to throwing three inner lines, it is obvious that Zhuang Fei knew that this was in order to prevent the opponent's full-court pressing, one organizational defender is Liu Wei, this Zhuang Fei knows, and the other Zhuang Fei does not know, but the ball control is good, not worse than Liu Wei, but there are no other characteristics except for ball control.

In fact, the biggest problem of the three inside tactics in the NBA is defense, which requires the inside line to have a strong ability to move, Wang Zhizhi and Yi Jianlian are barely able to, but Yao Ming is absolutely not good, although Zhuang Fei did not let him gain weight, but Yao Ming is also a big center, although Zhuang Fei used Ma Long's heart for Yao Ming, but Ma Long's heart only increases endurance, does not increase speed and bounce such an absolute talent, in this case in the NBA Yao Ming is still slow, It's just that the difference between the international arena and the NBA is that the three-point line in the international arena is half a meter shorter, which is very beneficial to the three-inside tactics The shorter the three-point line, the narrower the effective area of the offense and defense on the court, which is beneficial to the slower moving teams, especially on the defensive end, because the distance that the defense needs to run will be shorter.

Of course, such an advantage is not too obvious, but it can only cover up some of the problems of the Chinese team's defensive speed, if you meet a team with physical talent like the United States, it will still be tragic, but the three inside and two point guard tactics solve the dilemma of China in the face of the full-court pressing, especially Yao Ming's two point guards in the middle circle, the opponent pressed the two point guards to the middle circle, Yao Ming can directly find Wang Zhizhi or Yi Jianlian, which makes Zhuang Fei feel that his eyes are bright.

"This kid did a good job in the Chinese team, and when the audience watched the three major inside lines of the Chinese team stir up trouble in the Spanish penalty area, Zhuang Fei also smiled and said, "Green has become more and more mature in recent years, and what he can do now is not just to copy Zhuang Fei's things, but to be able to have something of his own, which is extremely important, and the Chinese team is really good at being trained by him, this year's Spain has the strength to enter the quarterfinals, but now it is being suppressed by the Chinese team, which is very revealing, In the end, the Chinese team was able to defeat Spain 89-75, and in the group stage, three wins and two losses in five games only lost to Argentina, which won all five games, and strategically gave up the last game to lose to Serbia and Montenegro even more so that Zhuang Fei didn't know how to describe his feelings, this team may go far in this year's Olympic Games, and in fact, the Chinese team that qualified second in the group met Australia in the third place in Group B in the quarterfinals. The Chinese team easily defeated their opponents 85-78 to enter the semi-finals, and the opponent of the Chinese team in the semi-finals was the United States, which had just beaten Spain.

The performance of the U.S. team in this year's Olympics is very good, although there is no horror like the crazy victory of the opponent when Zhuang Fei led the team four years ago, basically more than 40 points, but it is definitely extremely easy, winning all five games in the group stage, and the quarterfinals are also easy to defeat Spain, Spain's core Gasol was almost played and cried again like four years ago, four years ago he played Duncan and Garnett, and this year it is Xiao Ao and Duncan, in this case, Spain was completely taken by the American team without any resistance.

This American team is different from the 04 Dream Six team in history in Zhuang Fei's impression, the Dream Six in history is because of the horror crisis and the team's head coach Larry Brown has no way to invite big names, resulting in an extremely unbalanced team, although there are Duncan and Iverson, but it was also a fiasco to lose the glory of the Olympic Games and lose the glory of their king, and then the dream team was forced to reform and start again, and the assistant coach of the dream team was re-invited Coach K, It also made the Dream Team change from NBA head coach to NCAA head coach, but such a tragedy in history is difficult to stage in the current American team. Now Pat Riley and Larry Brown are much better connected than they are in history, and this Dream Team is much stronger than history.

In fact, after the United States team defeated the Chinese team 98-80 in the semifinals, the team defeated the Argentine team 95-88 in the final, and won the Olympic championship again. Similarly, the success of this year's Dream Six team also reversed the losses caused by the defeat at the World Championships in Indianapolis two years ago, while the Chinese team lost to Lithuania 80-90 in the semifinals and fell into fourth place, but even this is the best result in the history of this team, and Green has also made history, and Zhuang Fei, the president of the Basketball Association, is estimated to be able to shine.

And after the Olympics, Zhuang Fei accompanied his family in Europe for another month, Zhuang Fei also returned to the United States alone, and Scarlett and Zhuang Lin were still students and left a long time ago.

After Zhuang Fei returned to the United States, the new NBA season also began. (To be continued.) )
