the rest, only noise

Chapter 877
There were actually two cameras at the match, with Monica Bellucci having the better position.

As the only "idle person" on the scene, her appearance surprised the media.

When they learned that the game was recorded by her, some media wanted a copy of the tape.

"No, I will not give this game to anyone." Monica laughed. "In my homeland, parents always leave the best things to the next generation as family heirlooms. I decided to leave the video of this game to my children. This is a rare treasure with profound educational significance."

"Oh? Educational significance?"

"My kids will understand after watching this game that no matter how big the advantage is, if you don't respect your opponent, if you don't respect the game, no matter how big the advantage is, it will burst the bubble."

In the locker room, the tragedy master has been telling his teammates to ignore the gossip outside and stick together.

In fact, he was the one everyone was worried about.

Before he retired, he disliked playing against smaller players who could anticipate passing lanes and use their speed to attack.That's how Hurley knocked out the Tragedy Master today.

After Louis returned to the locker room, he asked someone to close the door.

"Congratulations, gentlemen. The first game of the Dream Team drove the media crazy. This game will let them discuss it for a month, you know? All of your names will be mentioned, just as a foil for college students." Louie laughed. "But the editors of the major newspapers will appreciate you."

Barkley imitated the indifferent attitude of the tragedian, "This is just a practice game."

"Oh? A practice match? Is this the excuse you guys found for yourself? Wonderful." Louis asked sarcastically, "Then do you feel indifferent now? Anyway, it's just a practice match. It's not as important as thinking about what brand of donuts to eat today?"

Barkley lost his voice on the spot.

"You guys are called the dream team, but fans probably don't expect this kind of 'dream start'."

"If you think this is just a practice game, and it doesn't matter if you get beaten up by a group of college students who have never played professional basketball, then I have nothing to say."

"When we lose, we lose, and no one will make excuses."

Jordan spoke.

"Since you lost, do you know where you lost?"

Louis asked again.

"I lost on me." The tragedy master stood up and said, "I can't defend against Bob Hurley. I have never been good at dealing with these small guards. Therefore, if we encounter similar opponents in the future, I need someone else to defend them for me."

"Okay, I'm glad you guys are starting to face things up."

Louie looked at Wilson.

"anything else?"

My own soldiers, if you don't help support the scene now, when will you have to wait?

People like Ewing with low dual quotients can't be counted on.

"We lost on arrogance," Wilson said. "Like Charles before the game, all of us thought it was an easy game, but the college guys gave us a big blow."

"It's enough to win tomorrow. Is it meaningful to say so much?" Byrd stretched his waist. "But, Coach Lu, what did you do when we were in a mess?"

Louie admitted: "I'm watching you mess up?"

"Is this irresponsible?" Byrd asked sharply.

"Actually, before you lost the game, no one believed that you would lose, and neither did I. But it turns out that even if you form a team, you will still lose the game." Louis said seriously, "So starting today, I will treat you as strictly as I usually coach. Do you have any opinions?"

Bird snorted: "People who lose the game have no right to say no."

"I agree." The tragedian offered.

Jordan asked back: "Isn't this the meaning of the existence of the coaching staff?"

"Then, I need you guys to take a shower and then go back to the hotel with me to replay the game. We're going to play again tomorrow. I hope you don't lose again."

Barkley clenched his fist and said: "If I lose one more game, I will retire!"

"Stop yelling, Charles, no one believes you, and you are the worst person today!"

※※※

The next day, in the second match, Louis invited the media to watch the match.

This arrangement was actually not approved by the American Basketball Association, but the so-called general is out, and the king's fate is not acceptable. His coaching of the dream team was originally a one-shot deal, and he did not plan to coach for a second time. It doesn't matter if he has a bad relationship with them.

The second match between the dream team and the mixed team lost suspense from the very beginning.

Jordan and Wilson have led the defense of Stockton and Hurley.

The offense of the mixed formation immediately got into trouble.

At their worst, they struggled to make it past halftime.

Without the core defenders to organize the offense, and unable to play offensive tactics, the mixed team system collapsed.

The game suddenly became a teaching game for the Dream Team.

Barkley doubled down on what Webb did to him yesterday.

Under the witness of dozens of media, the dream team slaughtered the mixed team by 62 points.

"Sports Illustrated" writer Jack McCallum wrote in his notes: "The dream team began to look like a real team. They found their own labels, clarified their roles, and polished off their respective edges. The game is smooth, the team is harmonious, and even Laettner has something to do."

For the media, this dream team has an obvious advantage-the offensive and defensive transition after grabbing the rebound.

The most outstanding defensive transition in NBA history is called Show Time.

That was the 80s Lakers led by the Tragedy Division.

However, this team's transition from defense to offense is several beats faster than that of the Lakers. The intensity of offense to defense cannot be matched by a second team in history.

Especially when Louis set up a lineup of Jordan, Wilson, Barkley, Sampson, and David Robinson, the college students in the mixed team couldn't find a chance in front of this lineup.

Both Stockton and Pippen also made a fool of themselves under the serious competition attitude of the Dream Team.

Here, Laettner found through Bird, he just had to move into position, catch and shoot.

The mixed formation that had dreamed of winning another game with the Dream Team abandoned their illusions.

Louis then changed his game.

Transfer Pippen and Stockton back to the Dream Team, and then let Jordan and Wilson join the mix.

As a result, he only persisted for half the game before being beaten.

This is already the most tenacious time for a mixed team.

In the next three days, Louis tried various combinations, and even played a "draft" with the Knicks' style of breaking up the personnel from both sides to form two teams, and the result was 141 to 136.

The Grays with Wilson and Bird and Sampson win.

Throughout the week, the two sides played seven confrontation games.

The experience of being a training partner for the dream team has benefited the college students a lot.

Webber even regretted not participating in the draft early.

They have found new goals in their respective paths of life. Similarly, the media who accompanied them through this week also feel that the future of this group of college students is full of hope.

After the week-long confrontation between the dream team and the mixed team, they will go to Portland to participate in the US Championships.

This game was supposed to be held in Brazil in March of this year, but at that time the NBA teams were playing in the playoffs, and the top college students were throwing their heads and blood for March Madness, so they couldn't organize a team with combat effectiveness.

"America first" is not a special product of the era of Wang Wang. Since the United States is in trouble, why not wait for them to be "involved" by the major teams in the Americas?So the game was postponed until July, and the venue moved to Portland.

In Portland, media from all over the world saw the full picture of the Dream Team for the first time.

The hotel where the team stayed was packed with reporters from all walks of life.

Compared with the media's congratulatory pursuit of the Dream Team, the various forces within the Dream Team secretly broke their heads.

The Dream Team is nominally a team of the American Basketball Association, but this team is also subject to the jurisdiction of the US Olympic Organizing Committee.They all hope to use the Dream Team to promote their brands.

Even the coach Louis of this team is a big sponsor, with multiple auras on his body.

As a result, the sponsors also personally ended the fight.

AT&T, Coca-Cola, Pepsi, McDonald's, Gatorade and others want players to promote their brands.

USA Basketball and the USOC have each signed dozens of distributors, hoping to use the image of the Dream Team to promote it around the world.

There are many "tough battles" to be fought between them, but the first battle to be fought is about which brand of sneakers athletes wear when participating in the national team competition.Then, the agents behind the players took the stage and made it clear that if the player is not allowed to wear the sneakers he endorsed, he will quit the dream team.

These things had little to do with Louie.

He knew that all kinds of interest disputes would eventually be resolved, otherwise there wouldn't be so many international star players who would have learned about basketball through the Dream Team.
