The toughest man in the NBA

Chapter 291 Weak "Dream Team Ten"

The weakness of the fifth position of the "Dream Team" is not one or two terms. In fact, since the "Three Towers" of the "Dream Team" O'Neal + Olajuwon + David Robinson in 1996, as the NBA entered In the era of defenders, the withering of centers was concentrated on the national team.

In 2000, the "Dream Four" played in Sydney, with only Mourning at the center. Tomjanovich had to put Garnett on top, and was almost eliminated by Lithuania in the semi-finals.

In the 2002 World Championships, the local "Dream Team Five" had almost no all-stars participating, and ended up finishing sixth. Angry American fans strongly demanded that their glorious title of "Dream Team" be revoked...

In Athens in 2004, the "Dream Six" had no center at all, Stoudemire and Duncan cameo as centers, plus Larry Brown died, and only won the bronze medal.

In the 2006 World Championships, the "Dream Team Seven" finally had centers, namely Howard, Brad Miller and Bosh, but this time they were all rookies in the second and third grades. It is No.3.

In the 2008 BJ Olympics, the "Dream Team" organized an all-star lineup, with Howard and Bosh at the center. At this time, "Old K" coach took over the coach. He has fully realized the crisis of the center position and began to consider how to overcome it. Through the center crisis.

Insist on using a small lineup, force the opponent with a fierce defense, and play a quick counterattack.

Finally, after eight years, he once again rectified the name of the "Dream Team" and won the gold medal.

In the 2010 World Championships, only Tyson Chandler was the center forward of the "Dream Nine Team", but the "Old K" coach's system had already taken shape. He never used the inside as a tactical lead, and insisted on the words "fast" and "ruthless". policy.

Help the US team dominate the World Championships again after 16 years.

Therefore, without a center this year, coach "Old K" did not panic at all.

The tactics of abandoning big men are very mature. At the World Championships in Turkey two years ago, he tried to use Odom as a center forward, and the dead five were quite sharp.

Having tasted the sweetness, he played the small ball tactics superbly in this Olympic Games. In the first few games, Tyson Chandler has been playing a false starter, averaging only 11.3 minutes per game. Except for the Spanish game, The "Dream Ten Team" exploded every game.

The average net difference is 32 points, and the three-point shooting percentage is as high as 44%!

In fact, it is James and Anthony who play the center forward. The boxing champion will be replaced by Anthony for a while. After he defends for one or two rounds, he will be replaced by James.

After all, you can't hold back.

But on the offensive end, they can open up space and let the opponent's cumbersome inside line lose sight of one another. Generally speaking, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, and the key counterattack is too fast!

"Old K" coach doesn't like Tyson Chandler who conflicts with small ball tactics, and he doesn't like Kobe because his personal heroism is too serious...

Playing small ball tactics, the most important thing is to be fast.

It must be done quickly, it must be fluent, and it must be seen by teammates, but Kobe is used to one-to-five, and he doesn't like these juniors in the team at all!

So "Old K" coach never painted him the "C" on his chest.

It is customary for national team captains to have a "C" on their chest.

In the "Dream Ten Team", Kobe is understandable to be the captain in terms of qualifications and prestige.

However, the "Old K" coach was afraid that the situation would be more serious after he became the captain, so he didn't appoint the captain directly, but this did not affect Kobe's performance.

When playing Spain, every time Kobe played a difficult game, James looked at the coaching bench with a sullen face:
You don't care, don't care, can I force it?
Coach "Old K" arranged for the coaching staff to stay up all night, edit out Kobe's shooting clips, and then talk to him alone:
"Look, I want to talk to you about shot selection. Let's look at these shots, and they're fucking shots. You can't play like that when you have Carmelo and LeBron. That hurts our game. Law."

Coach "Old K" was ready to bear the anger of the Black Mamba, but he just smiled and said lightly:
"You're right, I won't do that again. Is there anything else?"

This kind of Kobe caught people off guard.

Is it a gift from God?

But no, Kobe doesn't actually approve of "Old K"'s tactics. He is more accustomed to the traditional style of play combining inside and outside, and he is also a beneficiary of the tall center.

So, ever since the Chinese team ravaged Spain in the first game, he knew that the "Dream Ten" that the insiders were pointing out was about to end...

Now Spain lost only 51 points to the United States, and [-] points to the Chinese team. Coach "Old K" is not thinking about how to limit Tuman, but his "fucking" shots?

That's a fart!
Players from both sides entered the arena, and Iguodala slipped over immediately. He is just a soy saucer, averaging only four points per game, and he is treated like a boxing champion.

"Big Saoman, why didn't Emma come?"

This guy!

"She's off to film, and the national team is strictly disciplined, so she can't go out and open a room by herself..."

Tu Man's face was depressed, Emma came once, but he couldn't get out.

How can it be?

Iguodala suddenly became obscene:

"That's why you're averaging [-] or so shots per game?"

Tu Man said angrily:
"Of course, I am in a bad mood, how can I make others feel good?"

Suddenly someone behind laughed and said:

"Damn it, you've already dominated the rankings, and you're still in a bad mood?"

When Tu Man turned around, it was Kobe and the boxing champion.

He punched the boxing champion, hugged Kobe again, and said with a smile:
"I can't release the water this time, you two stay away from me!"

The boxing champion laughed and said:

"I'll only play for 10 minutes. I don't have the ball yet. You can do whatever you want!"

As he spoke, he glanced at Kobe beside him.

The black mamba is a bit haggard, his knee is injured, and he has lost 16 pounds before coming to London in order to reduce the burden. Vanessa has taken good care of him throughout the process...

Kobe said disdainfully:

"You cover me for a try?"

Butchery:

"Just try it!"

Kobe rolled his eyes and said depressedly:

"That's fine!"

Tu Man said suspiciously:

"Your mental state is not right. Why, did you play too many games last night?"

Kobe shook his head:
"No, this is the last time I will play in the Olympics. The stage is left to the young people to fight it out, let them go through the non-human no-fly zone, it's good..."

The "Dream Ten" starting lineup is:
Point Guard: Chris Paul
Shooting Guard: Kobe Bryant

Small Forward: Kevin Durant

Power Forward: LeBron James
Center: Tyson Chandler
The lineup of the Chinese team has not changed:
Point guard: Liu Wei

Shooting guard: Sun Yue

Small forward: Zhu Fangyu

Power Forward: Tu Brutal
Center: Yao Ming

The last few Tuman games had almost filled the audience, so he applied for it on his own initiative.

It wasn't that he wanted to brush up the statistics, but that he wanted Yao Ming to rest for a few more minutes. Before the expedition, Dr. Carter strongly advised Yao Ming to limit his playing time to less than 20 minutes, otherwise those nails on his ankles would definitely be monsters!
