- The new god of basketball!

- God in the East, God in the Dragon Kingdom!

- No one can defeat that alien from the East, except himself!

Doodle......

The phone rang, and Kobe Bryant closed the newspaper that he had just read the headline in his hand, and picked up the landline next to him.

"Hi, Bryant." On the other end of the phone was a familiar voice, now the president of the American Basketball Association, Martin Dempsey: "How's the recent lawsuit going?" ”

Kobe Bryant had long heard about the energy of the former retired four-star general of the U.S. Army, and complained on the phone at this time, reiterating the facts of the day......

"Haha, that girl just wants more money, be generous, it's best if you can do it yourself, even if you can't do it......" Martin said with a smile on the phone: "Compared to this, there is a more important thing for you to do at the moment: the men's basketball squad for this year's Athens Olympics." ”

Kobe Bryant was slightly stunned.

Frankly speaking, he has been a little physically and mentally exhausted because of the QJ-Gate incident recently, and the woman obviously took the initiative to climb into his bed in the middle of the night...... For a normal man, Kobe Bryant felt that this was a normal choice, but he didn't expect to encounter an immortal jump, which made his reputation plummet.

Coupled with a complete split with O'Neal, the team's disintegration and the playoffs fiasco, all of this made him completely unfocused on basketball during this time.

What's more, the Olympics or something, he doesn't care about it, and he's not interested in participating, what's the point of abusing vegetables?

But this year is a little different......

"This year, the enthusiasm for basketball in the United States is at an all-time high, and because of Lin Dong's relationship, it seems that the basketball community around the world is no longer so afraid of us...... Hehe, just like the Dragon Kingdom in the past two years, after joining the WTO, they have entered the mode of rapid and rapid development in all walks of life, you may not understand it very well, but in fact, the Congress has been quite vigilant about the rapid development of the Dragon Kingdom, and the Strategy Bureau has even put forward a red danger warning, hoping that all walks of life, including the sports world, will also be able to comprehensively suppress the Dragon Kingdom...... Hehe, it's far away. ”

"In any case, we desperately need a champion, an undisputed champion who will crush Lin Dong! And in this name, Congress will secretly come out to help you get out of the current trouble, whether it is the federal court, the jury, or even the girl. Martin said lightly: "It's understandable that you guys usually only value professional competitions, but this time it's different, I hope you can participate, and this is probably an opportunity for you to completely defeat Lin Dong...... I don't want to hear NO, now, can you tell me the final decision right away? ”

Kobe Bryant didn't hesitate for long, the United States needs a championship, he needs to be relieved, and if Congress intervenes, the matter that has affected him for more than half a year will be resolved quickly.

Of course, more importantly, he hopes to beat Lin Dong with his own hands, a Lin Dong who has lost the god combination and the help around him, with the current disintegration of the Lakers, it is difficult to do this in the NBA, and the Olympics may really be the best opportunity.

"Thank you." Bryant was quick to respond on the phone: "I can't wait!" ”

………………

After returning to the team, in addition to participating in the daily training of the national team, Lin Dong usually pays more attention to the situation of the American men's basketball team.

After all, the current Dragon Country men's basketball team still has many problems in Lin Dong's eyes.

After winning two NBA championships, the Olympic Games, after all, is a mountain of honor that Lin Dong values the most.

One is Yao Ming's state problem, although this year's Wizards failed to make it out of the East, but also relied on Yao Ming's excellent performance to reach the second round of the playoffs in the East, which made Yao Ming actually just free from the tense game for less than a month.

In the two years before that, Yao Ming almost did not miss any game of the national team, and his frequent use made his overall state actually decline a lot, including this year's playoffs, and he has also shown fatigue.

The second is Zhu Fangyu, Sun Yue, Yi Jianlian and other young players who have already shown their prominence in the CBA, and they have too little experience in international competitions, and the defensive intensity of the CBA is completely different from the international arena and the NBA, and they are afraid that it will be difficult to adapt.

The third is roughly in the trough, this year's performance in the Mavericks, although the data is okay, but because of Nowitzki's excellent performance, it has been faintly called one of the four centers in the league, which makes the approximate playing time further reduced, the state is a mystery, sometimes good and sometimes bad, and the overall defensive awareness is poor, with roughly a double-edged sword, hurting others and hurting themselves.

The fourth is that Jiang Lao just started to try the kind of 'free ball' style that Lin Dong said before, giving players more freedom and ball rights, although it has achieved good results in the Asian Championships, but on the whole it is not mature enough, and now many high-level executives in the Basketball Association are opposing his new tactics, hoping that Jiang Lao will use the traditional strict team model, which will cause Jiang Lao to be dissatisfied.

The so-called generals have not given military orders abroad, Jiang Lao has already seen some of the future of Dragon Country basketball under the influence of Lin Dong, although he can insist on his own views for the future of Dragon Country basketball, but with the media exposure, the huge pressure on Jiang Lao has already been quietly transferred to the players.

Frankly speaking, in today's national team, except for a few older generations such as Battle and Du Feng, the others are basically 'Lin Dong's people'...... Near Zhu Zhechi, what young people are thinking about now is freedom and ball power, they are all brave to show themselves, and they are standing with Lin Dong and Jiang Lao.

Therefore, winning is not only to prove himself, to correct Jiang Lao's name, but also to win a better future environment for himself.

But if you lose, the consequences you will have to bear, whether it is from the Basketball Association or from fans across the country, are enough to make it difficult for everyone to move in China in the next year or two.

A lot of problems, a lot of troubles.

On the surface, the strength on paper is strong, and only a few people such as Lin Dong can see the danger hidden under it.

Of course, we have Lin Dong.

This is the greatest confidence of all the players of the national team today, including Jiang Lao, who also knows the problems of the national team.

Lin Dong also has the same opinion.

In the NBA, it has been proven that the strength of an era is overwhelmed, and the truly invincible knife, only one Lin Dong is enough to make the national team fearless of any European team, and the real opponent is only the United States after all.

Fortunately, the Dream Six team in history is not strong, and it can even be said to be 'very weak'.

In the first game of the group stage, Puerto Rico's wonder boy Arroyo was beaten by himself, losing to the North American powerhouse by a huge margin of 19 points, then losing to the European powerhouse Lithuania, and finally even losing to Argentina with Ginobili and Scola in the semi-finals, only winning a bronze medal...... Since the creation of the American Dream Team, until 04, they have only lost four times in the Olympic Games, one to the former Soviet Union, and the other three times, they were all covered by this Olympics.

Lin Dong is quite familiar with these histories, so much so that he knows everything about the performance of the Dream Six, from the coach to the players, and even the performance of each game, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of the Dream Six.

This is not to say that Duncan, Iverson, Wade and others are weaker, they are far stronger on paper than Puerto Rico and Argentina.

The reason for losing, one is to lose in mentality, too underestimating the enemy, the other is to lose in experience, the composition of the players is too young, except for Iverson, Duncan and Marbury, most of the others are first- and second-year rookies, and the third is that the head coach is not compatible with this team.

Its head coach is Larry Brown, who won the NBA championship in '04, and the assistant coach is D'Antoni, which seems to be an old tradition in the United States, and the NBA champion team coach is the national team coach.

And Larry Brown's coaching style and characteristics are defense, an absolute defensive master, but you look at his lineup at that time, LeBron, Anthony, Wade, Marbury, Xiaos, Iverson...... This TM is more offensive than the other, and with the exception of Duncan, Iverson and Marbury, most of the others are rookie first- and second-year players, not to mention inexperience, but also more personality and performance than the other.

So, everyone in this Dream Six team is either on the offensive or on the way to prepare for the attack.

Also a master of defense? What about the anti-MB......

Therefore, in addition to underestimating the enemy, the incompatibility between the head coach and the team is one of the main reasons for the loss of this American team.

In the face of himself, Lin Dong believes that the American team will not underestimate the enemy, but the problem of incompatibility with the coach is still inevitable, as long as Da Yao can withstand Duncan, he can tear apart the defense of the American team, and Zhu Fangyu and others on the outside will definitely have a chance to make a move in the face of the defense of the American team.

So even though the national team has many problems, Lin Dong already feels that the national team has at least 7 percent chance of winning, and if he can really lead the team to win the Olympic championship and send the Dragon Kingdom to the throne of the world No. 1, then there will really be no regrets in this life.

It's a pity......

Unlike the Dragon Country, which started preparing a year in advance, the United States, as the mecca of basketball, often hastily pulls up a team when it encounters such a competition, and this year is naturally no exception.

The selection of the manager, the selection of the players, etc., all start after the finals.

And this year's NBA championship is not the Pistons, but the SuperSonics, and the head coach should be replaced by McMillan as a matter of course.

This already makes Lin Dong feel a little bad, after all, McMillan has accepted the concept of running and bombing for two years, and now although he is not a master coach, his offensive concept is quite mature, and it is a good match for this American Dream Six, fortunately, he understands McMillan's coaching style and tactical style enough, and is relatively simple, and should be able to deal with it.

But what's worse is that because of the presence of Lin Dong, the American Basketball Association and fans across the United States have paid special attention to the Olympics this year.

The U.S. Basketball Association decided that McMillan's coaching experience was less than two years, too young, and that Lindon and he knew each other too well, so they ruled out this option and chose another person: the old K of Duke University.

This is a true master tactician who dedicates his whole life to basketball tactics......

But what is even worse is not only the change of head coach, but also the lineup sent by the US team this time.

On the basis of the original Dream Six, there are more Kobe Bryant, Gary Payton, Chris Bosh, Ben Wallace......

In addition to O'Neill, who had already shouted 'with him without me, with me without him' in front of the media, he didn't come, and even Artest, who took the initiative to ask Mengliu several times in his original history but was rejected, came.

Almost all of the NBA's defensive giants are here.

Lao K's attitude is very clear, he wants to build a super team that is enough to balance Lin Dong at both offensive and defensive ends, and in this game, the United States is only allowed to win and not lose!

Moreover, except for Gary Payton, who is already satisfied with winning two consecutive championships, he has a bit of a intention to go to Greece for a 'sightseeing tour', all these other people have only one purpose, that is, to defeat Lindon!

was overwhelmed by him in the NBA for two seasons, which made these NBA supergiants already angry.

When he saw this lineup, Lin Dong couldn't help but feel that the chrysanthemum was tight.

Underestimating the enemy?

For this Dream Six, which was formed with the goal of defeating itself, that was something that simply didn't exist.

They may be a light opponent against all other teams, but they will definitely not be a light opponent against the Dragon Kingdom.

Not only will they not underestimate the enemy, but they will even show absolute 120% strength when fighting the Dragon Kingdom, and they have to vent all the anger of being suppressed by supersonic speed in the NBA in the past two years into this game.

Lin Dong was thinking about it.

Syllable!

There was roughly a flying cap on the court, covering Zhu Fangyu's outside 3 points tightly.

", it's too tight, there's no room for a shot at all......" Zhu Fangyu still complained on the court.

Lin Dong couldn't laugh or cry when he saw it.

The general defense is already the worst in the NBA, but against Zhu Fangyu's level, it still makes them feel full of pressure.

It's going to be Artest, it's going to be Big Ben, it's going to be Kobe......

Is this the rhythm of playing two and five with Da Yao?

Headache......
