This kind of person really exists, maybe because Wang Chao's birth moved some people's cakes, or maybe it was just because Wang Chao was too hot and felt unhappy, all in all, many people hope that Wang Chao will fall hard, preferably the kind that will never get up.

When the matter began to brew and ferment, Da Yao was keenly aware of the seriousness of the matter, and immediately persuaded Wang Chao to publicly apologize to the media to minimize the impact of the matter.

The PR team, including Team Yao, also suggested the same.

This is not a very serious matter in itself, but it is slightly sensitive in terms of time.

The first reaction of the Basketball Association official when they learned of this incident was to suppress the matter, and nothing is as important as the Olympics at the moment.

Moreover, Wang Chao's professional attitude is recognized by everyone, including head coach Younas, who is not afraid of death in training, and no one in the Chinese men's national basketball team dares to say that he can do it.

As long as Wang Chao sincerely admits his mistake, and then Da Yao, Younas and others stand up to help say a few words, plus the official control of public opinion, it is not difficult to calm down this matter.

But Wang Chao didn't care.

"Apologize? Why apologize? ”

I didn't break the law and I didn't violate discipline, what is there to apologize for?

As for their doubts that they were too lax before the Olympics, which would lead to abnormal performance in the game, then they would slap those guys in the face with actual actions in the game.

He has never been in the habit of apologizing when he has not made a mistake.

Da Yao is also very helpless about Wang Chao's bull temper, it is because of his temper that he will be banned for three years.

originally thought that Wang Chao's temper had been reduced a lot after playing in the NBA, after all, he was willing to return to the men's national basketball team, but now it seems that a person's temper is difficult to change.

……

For the Olympics, this in itself was a trivial vignette.

Especially after the official effort began to prohibit the media and online from discussing anything about the Chinese Olympic athletes outside the stadium, the voices of skepticism immediately became much less.

But these voices are not completely gone, but they are temporarily lurking under the policy, like a beast waiting for an opportunity to hunt, hiding in the shadows, waiting for the prey to appear flawed before rushing out to give the other party a fatal blow.

This flaw is naturally when the Chinese men's basketball team failed to qualify for the group stage and failed to live up to the expectations of fans across China!

On August 8, the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games was held as scheduled, and the world focused on the capital of China, which was unprecedented.

Two days after the opening ceremony, on August 10, the men's basketball preliminaries officially began.

At 22:15 in the evening, at the Wukesong Gymnasium in the capital, the first matchup of the much-anticipated Huaguo men's basketball preliminaries, and the world's strongest rice men's basketball team is about to start!

That night, countless Chinese people sat in front of the TV, looking forward to the start of the game.

"Hello audience friends, this is the live commentary game of the Olympic men's basketball project Group B group stage of the Olympic Games brought by CCTV Sports to everyone, the Chinese men's basketball team vs the United States men's basketball team, I am the commentator of this game, Director Sun, today we also invited the former men's basketball national player Zhang to bring you a commentary on the game, welcome to guide Zhang."

The combination of Coach Sun + Coach Zhang is a classic commentary combination of men's basketball at the 08 Olympic Games.

The two of them were not verbose, and after a brief introduction, they immediately plunged into the game commentary.

"We can see that the players of both teams have already shaken hands with each other on the field and saluted, and the game is about to start."

"The starting lineup of the Huaguo team will introduce to you, point guard Liu Wei, scoring guard Sun Yue, small forward Wang Chao, big forward UAE, and center Da Yao."

"The starting lineup of the United States men's basketball team is point guard Kidd, scoring guard Kobe, small forward James, power forward Anthony, and center Howard."

"Coach Zhang, what do you think about the starting lineups of the two sides?"

Director Zhang took over the topic and said: "The current Huaguo men's basketball team can be regarded as the strongest team in the history of the Huaguo men's basketball team, with five NBA or former NBA players in the team, among which Da Yao and Wang Chao are NBA all-star stars, as long as they can play at the level they should, their strength will not be inferior to that of any country in the world." ”

"And the United States men's basketball team is known as the title of the dream team, this Olympic Games, they also have another name, the redemption team, because in recent years, the United States men's basketball team in the world championship is not good, 04 Athens Olympics, 06 years of men's basketball World Championships, they have not been able to win the championship, so this Olympics is a redemption journey for them, the United States men's basketball team wants to win the Olympic championship and return to the top of the world."

"So we can see that the lineup of the United States men's basketball team can be called the strongest dream team in recent years, all 12 players in the team are all-star players, and they are all in their playing years, the only exception is the 35-year-old Jason. Kidd, but as a point guard, Kidd himself relies on game experience and passing to play, and his rich veteran experience can also be very good to lead this younger dream team to victory. ”

"This game, for the Chinese men's basketball team, is a game that needs to play its own spirit, which also plays a vital role in facing other opponents in the future."

On the field, the substitutes on both sides had already left the field, and Howard, as Wang Chao's teammate, took the initiative to hug Wang Chao.

"Brother, I didn't expect that we would face each other as opponents in the arena." Howard said to Wang Chao: "Come on." ”

At this time, Howard did not have the grinning expression on his face in the past, even he knew that in the international arena, especially in such an important competition as the Olympic Games, it must be taken seriously, especially this Olympic Games is also extremely important for the United States team, they must take back the lost championship, so in terms of pressure, the United States men's basketball team is no less than the Chinese men's basketball team.

Wang Chao didn't speak, just nodded slightly at Howard, in this game, he will also go all out, although the opponent is the strongest United States men's basketball team, but the Chinese team is not ready to give up selectively, after all, this is the home of the Chinese men's basketball team, it is reasonable that they can't choose to give up without even playing.

If that's the case, how can they still be worthy of the Chinese fans who came to cheer for them?

The game is about to start, the stands of Wukesong Stadium have been filled, a large number of Chinese fans are holding high the national flag, is waving the flag for them, the sound of cheering and cheering is deafening, giving all the players on the Chinese men's basketball court endless courage!

As the referee threw the basketball high into the air, the UAE and Howard jumped the ball, and the game officially began!

Excellent burst and bounce, so that Howard easily won the jump ball, Kidd, who received the basketball, threw the ball in the direction of the front court before half the court, and Anthony, who had quickly rushed to the basket, received the ball and wanted to attack but was destroyed by the UAE next to him out of bounds, and the Chinese men's basketball team had the ball.

As Wang Chao remembers, at the beginning of the game, the United States men's basketball team seemed to be a little nervous or cold, and the choice and efficiency of the attack in the first few rounds were not high.

However, this is also the shortcoming of the 08 Dream Team, the height of the squad is too short, and the ability to attack is insufficient.

There is only one real center in the 08 Dream Team, that is Howard, and the only remaining interior players are Bosh and Boozer, who tend to be space-oriented power forwards.

But at the expense of height, the Dream Team gained almost exaggerated mobility.

Just like the lineup they are starting at the moment, including Howard, they can move faster than many of the other team's outside players, which also makes the Dream Team invincible when it comes to fast-paced offensive and defensive transitions.

The battle between the Chinese men's basketball team and the United States men's basketball team in the 08 Olympic Games group stage has always been regarded as the most exciting game played by China and the United States for so many years.

Because of this game, the Huaguo men's basketball team under the leadership of Da Yao, once could fight with the United States men's basketball team, the first quarter of the game was on par, and the first half of the second quarter of the game was still not down, until the second half of the game, the Huaguo men's basketball team gradually couldn't keep up with the opponent's rhythm, the scoring efficiency began to decline, and the frequent mistakes forced by the opponent's oppressive defense were successfully scored into counterattack scores to open the score.

The final score was 101:70, and the 31-point difference was also the smallest in the history of the two teams in the Olympic competition.

Wang Chao has seen countless reviews of this game in the future, so it is clear that there are several reasons why the two teams can play inextricably at the beginning.

First, the opponent is still in the tentative period at the beginning of the game, and the offense is mainly reflected in positional warfare, under the FIBA rules that allow joint defense, Da Yao stands alone on the inside line and is a pillar of optimism, no matter who rushes into the inside line, he has to face Da Yao's defense, and the offensive efficiency is of course not good.

Second, the game has just begun, the main players of the Chinese men's basketball team are very physically energetic, even if the United States men's basketball team rushes up, they can keep up, the enthusiasm of the defense is all online, and there is Da Yao under the basket to help check and fill in the gaps, and the effect is naturally good.

The third is the accuracy of outside shooting, especially in the first quarter of the game, the Huaguo men's basketball team's outside shooting is very accurate, and even Da Yao scored a three-pointer outside the three-point line.

In addition, there is also the buff superposition of the Huaguo men's basketball team's home game, and various factors have created this hearty battle.

Right now, these buffs seem to be still there, and the Huaguo men's basketball team has added another strong reinforcement Wang Chao!

After Sun Yue dribbled past half court, he immediately passed the ball to Wang Chao.

The defender he faced was Kobe Bryant, and the strong sense of pressure from the other party made Sun Yue feel quite difficult to dribble, and there was no way to complete the attack alone.

This is not surprising to him, these players themselves are very different from the real top stars in the NBA, and Kobe Bryant has been selected to the All-Defensive Team for many years in a row, and is among the top outside defenders in the entire NBA league.

Of course, the opponent Wang Chao faced is also not simple, James, an old opponent.

He is well aware of Wang Chao's technical characteristics, so he immediately approached Wang Chao as soon as he came up, and used his body to constantly oppress Wang Chao to prevent Wang Chao from easily projecting three points.

But it's not a 1v1 heads-up after all.

Just as James was concentrating on guarding Wang Chao, Wang Chao suddenly moved quickly to the side.

James was about to follow immediately, but he crashed into Da Yao's arms first.

Pick-and-roll cover!

Da Yao's huge body completely blocked James aside, and Wang Chao hid behind Da Yao and raised his hand in the direction of the basket to shoot.

I have to say that the quality of Da Yao's blocking and dismantling is really good, the left side blocks James, and the right side also blocks Howard, who wants to make up for the defense, Wang Chao is completely standing behind Da Yao to shoot, and there is a little bit of Curry's peak shooting after blocking and dismantling.

This is also thanks to Wang Chao, who is 2.06 meters tall and has a very prominent arm span, otherwise he would have changed to other shorter guards, just the 2.26 meter Yao pestle in front of him is almost the same as having a defensive player follow.

"Shh——!h

The crisp sound of brushing the net sounded, and the fans in the audience cheered loudly for a while.

Wang Chao used his best offensive method to score the first score of the game for the Huaguo men's basketball team, 3:0.

The United States men's basketball team attacked.

Kobe Bryant singles Sun Yue with the ball.

Although he is inferior to Kobe in all aspects, Sun Yue has only one advantage, that is, his height of 2.04 meters is higher than Kobe.

Sun Yue's strategy of defending Kobe Bryant is very simple, anti-shooting is not anti-breakout, if you want to break through, you can, anyway, you have to think about how to deal with Da Yao under the basket after you pass me.

FIBA's three-point line is close to 1 meter closer than the NBA's, which also makes the FIBA's interior line much narrower than under the NBA rules, coupled with the rule of no defense for three seconds, resulting in FIBA's interior line is very crowded, and when both players are in good positions, even the NBA's top ball-handling breakthrough masters are difficult to break through to the basket easily.

Kobe Bryant tried to break through with the ball, rushed to the three-point line after passing Sun Yue in one step, and immediately discovered this problem, only to break through from the outside line less than two steps, he was already in front of Da Yao, and at this time he not only had Da Yao in front of him, but also the United Arab Emirates on the other side.

Faced with this situation, Kobe Bryant decisively threw the ball to the outside, and Anthony outside the three-point line quickly made a three-point shot after receiving the pass, but before he could shoot, Wang Chao, who was defending for the United Arab Emirates, rushed in time and raised his hand to interfere, causing Anthony to miss the shot.

"Huh? Something is wrong? ”

Howard was the first to notice something, his brows furrowed slightly, and his eyes were fixed on Wang Chao.

As a teammate on the same team, Howard can be regarded as the person who knows Wang Chao best on this field, and when Wang Chao caught up with him at that moment just now, the speed and explosiveness he showed were obviously much faster than the previous Wang Chao.

That's why Anthony was caught off guard and was interfered with and shot wide.

It's only been a month and a half, how did Wang Chao's speed get faster again?

Full of doubts, Howard jumped up and wanted to grab the offensive rebound, but was protected by Da Yao's main position.

The basketball was immediately passed to Wang Chao, who held the ball and quickly advanced towards the backcourt of the United States men's basketball team.

"So fast!"

This time, the hearts of all the members of the United States men's basketball team are in the same heart.

Wang Chao held the ball and advanced quite fast, it was like a fly, leaving his teammates behind from afar, and on the side of the United States men's basketball team, there were James, Kobe and Anthony who returned to defense in time.

"1 to 3 in the front, it's a pity, there is no chance of fast attack, at this time Wang Chao should stop first, and wait for all his teammates to come over and stand in a good position before reorganizing the attack......"

Before Director Zhang's words fell, Wang Chao stopped suddenly, then jumped on the spot and threw the basketball to the basket.

"Oops! Wang Chao is too anxious, he is 2 meters away from the basket, and he is still moving fast, how can this kind of shooting be"

James, who was not far from Wang Chao, frowned, and immediately braked sharply to stop and step forward to defend, his reaction was already very fast, but because Wang Chao was too fast with the ball just now, so that the speed of his retreat was not slow, and at this time, the sudden braking was still half a beat slower to catch up.

The basketball flew off a second before James' fingers touched it, streaked a graceful parabola through the air, and then smashed into the basket.

"Bang!"

Although the sound of the basketball bouncing off the hoop into the net is not as pleasant as the hollow brush, the sound is clearer.

"Whoop——!

There was an uproar in the stands, followed by deafening cheers.

In the live broadcast room of the online event opened by a certain wave, all kinds of comments appeared like swiping the screen.

“666！”

"Super brother is awesome!"

"Cow! It's so good, it's really worthy of Wang Chao, he hit two three-pointers in a row, and the United States men's basketball team was powerless! ”

"6:0 dream start, is this a match against the dream team of the United States? Isn't it playing the Asian Games with Singapore? ”

"Super brother is mighty and domineering! Who dares to talk about Brother Chao's professional attitude? What happened to the girls before the Olympics? Labor and management can also beat the United States men's basketball team! Just ask if you are convinced! ”

The game continues.
