You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 554 The great achievements of the preacher
Out of real business considerations, people close to Wei Xia informed the Chinese media of his actions on the Great Wall.

After the news came out, no one was surprised. All the Chinese fans who knew him said that this was something Wei Xia could do.

Just like Bird participated in the Olympic Games in 1992 and complained that the local wine was expensive, and Chamberlain was suddenly attacked by a cougar while driving in the suburbs—then he got out of the car, and after a struggle, he threw the cougar whose life or death was unknown to the side of the road—the same, it fits the personality and characteristics of the character.

On August 8, after two days of rest, Wei Xia adjusted his work and rest in his full schedule, and he participated in the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Games as scheduled.

It may be the best Olympic opening ceremony of the new millennium.

2008 Drummers counting down with drums, fireworks inside the stadium, the Olympic rings rising from the ground, those people in the box (movable type program), scrolls, fireworks footprints all the way to the stadium, everything is beyond imagination, absolutely unprecedented.

The successful hosting of the Beijing Olympic Games is of great significance to China.

From the beginning of this year, the country has been suffering from catastrophes until the 512 earthquake. The continuous disasters have united the country.

The Olympic Games is an important way for China to demonstrate its rapid development to the outside world. Tonight, they achieved great success.

Then came the match day, when the Chinese team led the medal table and created the best results in history in all fields.

All Wei Xia cares about is the basketball game.

The Chinese team led by Yao Huang has two active NBA players, a quasi-NBA player, and a group of top Asian players. In terms of the strength of the lineup, it may be the strongest ever.

During the period, Wei Xia also went to find Kobe.

He is the top card of the Dream Team. In order to save the reputation of the Dream Team, the American Basketball Association convened most of the elite players to go to Beijing together, calling themselves the Redemption Team.

From the start of the first men's basketball group match, it can be seen that the requirements and pursuits of the two sides are different.

The dream team is aiming for the gold medal. If they can't beat all the teams to win the gold medal, gathering so many superstars will only increase the jokes.

The hard power of the Chinese team is not as good as that of the US team, but they do not intend to play strategy and give up that set. They want to fight to the end and show their blood and fighting spirit.

In the three quarters of the war, the oppressive offense and defense of the US team defeated the Chinese team, which lacked overall talent.

In addition to basketball games, Wei Xia will also watch table tennis games.

He heard that China's table tennis is unparalleled in the world, and it is only a routine operation to win gold, silver and bronze in competitions.

At the Beijing Olympics, he witnessed the achievement of women's table tennis.

Both finalists are members of the Chinese women's table tennis team. One is Zhang Yining, who was later called the Big Devil, and the other is Wang Nan.

Wei Xia is just a layman to table tennis and can't see all kinds of mysteries.

Before the opening, he asked the audience around him: "Who is stronger?"

"Zhang Yining!" The other party said decisively.

Okay, then he will stare at Zhang Yining.

In 2008, Zhang Yining truly achieved the trinity of heart, foot, hand and hand, with flexible and ingenious placement, and fast speed. He can often hit the super ball that kills the opponent before the opponent reacts. The forehand and backhand are powerful, tearing, belting, bouncing, pulling, and pulling everything. It has obvious technical masculinity characteristics.

Wei Xia didn't see any of these characteristics. What impressed him most about Zhang Yining was her expressionless face.

Hit the ball with a hit, and then put on a straight face, get the score, and kill invisible. At first glance, it looks a bit like Kobe's runaway during 2005-2007.

In the end, Zhang Yining defeated Wang Nan 4-1 and became the women's singles champion.

During the flag-raising ceremony, sure enough, all the players standing on the three steps were Chinese players.

Three five-star red flags were raised at the same time, and the pride of the Chinese people at the scene was overwhelming.

Taking time to watch the women's table tennis finals, Wei Xia focused on the men's basketball game.

The Chinese team experienced the test of the death group. They narrowly beat Germany in the key match of the group stage and advanced to the quarterfinals. However, they chose to give up strategically in the match against the strong Greece.

The head coach of the national team, Jonas, believes that the men's basketball team has no chance of winning against Greece and is suppressed in all directions. It is not easy for Yao Huang, who is a strong insider, to play against Greece's Sofkris Shortsanitis⑴, and the chances of winning against Lithuania are better.

⑴ People gave the nickname the Greek Shark. In the 2006 World Championships, they exploded the inside line of the US team.

Jonas was the coach of Lithuania before. He knows exactly what is wrong with this team and where there are loopholes.

His idea was very good, but he didn't take into account the difference in combat power between the two sides.

Even if the opponent has weaknesses, that is relative.

We all know that the US team is not strong inside, but when the Chinese team plays the US team, Yao Huang is often beaten by the forwards of the dream team before he can teach Warcraft and others.

The disastrous defeat to Lithuania ended the men's basketball Olympic journey. They reached the quarterfinals and fulfilled their original goal. Unfortunately, they failed to achieve a breakthrough at home.

It was the pre-match slogan to keep the eighth and win the sixth. At any rate, No.8 is kept now. Although there is no breakthrough, it is not too bad. After all, the grouping in the group stage is too bad.

The US team swept all the powers all the way and reached the final with an invincible posture.

In the final, Wei Xia continued to wave his little red flag.

Both sides of the game, the dream team and the Spanish team, have Weixia's teammates.

Hearing this, Kobe had a victorious expression on his face, and he didn't answer. The person standing behind him explained everything.

What will the Spaniard have to do to beat this team?

Kobe, James, Paul, Wade, Anthony, Bosh, Reed, Marion, Iguodala.
Although the quality of the players is not as good as that of the US team, the Spanish team's lineup is also not to be underestimated. The Gasol brothers, Navarro, Fernandez, and the US team with NBA All-Stars per capita constitute a fact: this is the FIBA ​​game that has gathered the most NBA players in history.

Whose victory is this?

The answer is on the horizon: David Stern.

He has always advocated the promotion of the NBA to the world, and today, he did it.

Americans can forget the tragedy of the 2004, 2006 semifinals, or the lackluster final in 2000.

Of course there have been more brutal massacres - the Yugoslavs in the 1996 final collapsed after resisting for 25 minutes.

The 1992 final was by 32 points - but the carnage wasn't a game.Swinging knives at unarmed guys is no fun, so at the end of the 1992 final, Barkley was too busy singing with the audience.

Here lies the greatness of Stern: it was he who gave the world swords, bows and crossbows, taught people how to fish, and taught people how to fish.

The Romans said that Scipio's best teacher was his rival Hannibal.

The wonderful thing about this story is that Hannibal lost to Scipio in the end, but that losing battle may be more meaningful than his random slaughter of Romans at Cannae.

In the midst of these killings, civilization—and today the art of basketball—moved forward.

If we take 2008 as an end, and look back at 1992, the magician who was infected with AIDS, Jordan, and Bird with a back pain every time he took a ball, they did not come to conquer the world, but to pass on the salary and fire, show the world a glimpse of the shadow of the sword fairy, and then lure them to Kunlun Mountains to steal medicine and soar.

By 2008, the world had become so powerful under the influence of the NBA.This is what the NBA brings to the world.

Spain is such a strange team: they can lose to Russia, they can be beaten by China in the first three quarters, or they can knock down Greece in the absence of Gasol, and still make the American audience unable to put their hearts back when there are 4 minutes left in the final.

Lakers fans are bound to feel a burst of ecstasy.

Pau Gasol's younger brother, Marc Gasol, appears poised to become an above-average NBA center.

There is also Rudy Fernandez, who was almost empty-handed for the White Wolf. He scored 22 points in 20 minutes in the final, blocked Kobe, and dunked Howard.

The reason why the Dream Team was completely unable to contain the Spaniard's offense was because the Spaniard easily cracked the upline pressure and blocking defense they depended on for a living.In addition to Pau Gasol scoring 21 points, his on-line screen support truly embodies the value that a giant should have: his fixed-point screens, outside screens and inside cuts allowed Navarro, who had been in poor condition before, to swim freely, and allowed Robio, who had walked to the corner several times by himself, to escape the pursuit of the US team.

In the 40-minute game, the score was as high as 118 to 107, and the shooting rate was so high that it was blinding. In the end, Kobe's gorgeous 3+1, Wade's long-range shot, and James' desperate rebound sealed the victory.A total of 18 former, active and signed NBA players from both sides appeared on the stage.The "world champion" flag that Americans award to the NBA championship continues to be justified, the great tradition returns after 8 years, and so on.

At the end of the game, Wei Xia seriously thought about a question.

The Chinese team almost beat Spain?
