All I Really Want Is To Play Basketball

On the night when the Chinese men's basketball team successfully advanced to the Olympic semi-finals, the entire flower gardener was enveloped in brilliant fireworks and crackling firecrackers.

For veterans such as Liu Yudong and Li Xiaoyong, their mood at this moment can only be described as extremely exciting.

As Director Zhang said when summarizing after the game...

The history of Chinese basketball has turned a new page on the night of September 22, 2000.

Only by being here can you realize how happy Chinese basketball fans are on this day.

After the game, when the young CCTV commentator Yu Jia interviewed Su Feng, Su Feng said something to him that made him unable to calm down for a long time.

That is......

"This is just the beginning."

yes......

This is just the beginning.

20-year-old Yao Ming, 22-year-old Su Feng, 23-year-old Wang Zhizhi, 25-year-old Battelle...

In the next eight to ten years, Chinese basketball fans do not need to worry about the golden generation of men's basketball having no successors.

They don't need to worry that the Chinese men's basketball team, which has been labeled as Su Feng, will not be able to reproduce the grand occasion in the future.

If we say that at the end of the 20th century, members of the golden generation of men's basketball teams headed by Hu Weidong, Liu Yudong and others gave Chinese fans a first glimpse of the charm brought to them by the top of the world's basketball world...

Now, it's time for Chinese fans to boldly use their imagination and follow Su Feng and Yao Ming to see what the top of the world's basketball world looks like.

On the 25th, that is, two days later.

Australia, Sydney Basketball Stadium.

Although what will be held tonight is just an Olympic men's basketball semi-final.

But in the eyes of many people, this game is the basketball final of this Olympics.

Because tonight, the two sides fighting are the teams with the top two odds of winning the Olympic Games.

The American Dream Team is led by Vince Carter, Jason Kidd and Kevin Garnett.

And, the Chinese Dream Team led by Su Feng and Yao Ming.

Before the game, the American broadcaster of this game specially invited Barkley to be the commentator.

Barkley also bluntly said: "Although now in the eyes of many American fans, Michael Jordan is still an insurmountable 'god'.

But here, I have to say something fair for Sue.

That is, in my opinion, Su is definitely the most powerful player I have ever seen in the FIBA ​​arena! "

What kind of international joke is Kenny Smith's wife O'Neal's grandmother...

Michael Jordan?

That was just a good friend of Barkley's in his early years.

In terms of true brothers and true friendship, in Buckley's opinion, only Su Feng can be regarded as his life and death friend!

"Oh, considering how much I brag, Sue won't be able to beat up Shaq and lead me to the championship next season?"

In the commentary box, while playing Su Feng, Barkley thought happily to himself.

On the court, after the entrance ceremony of the two teams, the big screen also showed the starting lineup of the two teams tonight.

American men's basketball team: Mourning, Garnett, Carter, Ray Allen, Kidd.

Chinese men's basketball team: Yao Ming, Wang Zhizhi, Su Feng, Hu Weidong, Guo Shiqiang.

On CCTV, Director Zhang said when educating Chinese fans about the starting players of the two teams: "Huh? This game today is amazing...

Because 9 of the ten starting players on the court today are from the NBA.

Well...except for Guo Shiqiang. "

It’s not a boast, but if Guo Shiqiang could hear Director Zhang’s explanation? Then he would definitely feel like he was beeping.

Because tonight, he has to be responsible for facing off against Kidd? The pressure is already huge...

But, Director Zhang, why are you still persecuting me?

On the court, before the game started, Su Feng, who saw that Guo Shiqiang was a little nervous, patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Lao Guo? Don't be too stressed.

Kidd is nothing special? Moreover, in this Olympics, all of us have become accustomed to the fact that you will always be beaten. "

Guo Shiqiang: "..."

"Xiao Su makes sense. Anyway, as long as Lao Guo can score one goal tonight, it won't be a loss."

On the side, Hu Weidong subconsciously pushed the bridge of his nose, which was actually not wearing glasses, and also encouraged Guo Shiqiang.

Guo Shiqiang, who scored twice: "..."

"Only one? Lao Hu, you look down on Lao Guo too much? I think no matter what, Lao Guo will definitely be able to score two."

On the other side? Wang Zhizhi also came over to join in the fun.

Guo Shiqiang, who received a hat trick: "..."

Look to the sky!

Can't you just hope for me?

To be fair, in Guo Shiqiang's opinion, in the current national team, only Yao Ming can be considered a good person.

However......

Just when Guo Shiqiang let out a long sigh and was about to use all his strength to prove himself...

Xiao Yao, who was about to go to the center of the court to jump the ball with Mourning, suddenly turned around and said to him when he passed by: "Lao Guo, I am different from the three of them.

In my opinion, you just need to be able to dribble the ball across half the court without turning the ball over more than 10 times. "

Guo Shiqiang, who was overjoyed: "..."

Regarding the point guard of the Chinese men's basketball team and the point guard of the Los Angeles Lakers, who is the lower player on the team?

On the court, at this moment, Guo Shiqiang hated that he should not have embarked on the path of a basketball player in the first place...

However, I'm afraid Guo Shiqiang himself didn't notice...

After all four teammates "encouraged" him, the nervousness he felt before the game had disappeared at this moment.

In the center of the field, after the players of the two teams were ready, under the gaze of Chinese and American fans in front of the TV, German referee Marin, one of the three referees, threw the ball high...

The war between China and the United States has begun!

Mourning, who had previously made a bet with his teammates in the group stage, but ended up losing the bet, made a new bet with his teammates before tonight's game.

Unfortunately, Mourning lost the bet just as the game started.

Because in the jump ball, he failed to defeat Xiao Yao.

On the court, the Chinese men's basketball team played the first attack.

Tonight on the US team, the player responsible for guarding Su Feng is Carter, his deputy on the Raptors.

Therefore, after reaching out to Guo Shiqiang for a basketball, Su Feng started his practical teaching of beating Carter violently without even thinking about it.

Su Feng knew that Carter's defensive habits had always been a problem that restricted him from becoming a top defensive player.

Well, no, as soon as he faced Su Feng, Carter wanted to reach out and reach for the knife ball.

As a result, Su Feng first dribbled the ball behind him, then changed hands behind his back, and in the blink of an eye, the distance between him and Carter was widened.

In Su Feng's previous life, this was his eldest nephew Curry's favorite technique.

And like Curry, Su Feng likes to pull up and shoot after opening up the space.

Swish——!

3 to 0.

Since the three-point line in FIBA ​​is shorter than that in the NBA, even if Su Feng shoots half a meter away from the three-point line, his shot cannot actually be considered super far.

In Su Feng's original time and space, Anthony and Durant both had famous scenes of shooting three-pointers when playing FIBA. The same is true.

Because the three-point line in FIBA ​​is as short as a certain eggplant, when Su Feng shoots it, in Cantonese he says:

——Sprinkle some water.

In turn, it was Team USA's turn to attack.

Carter, who was not willing to be beaten unilaterally by Su Feng, also took the initiative to ask Kidd for the ball.

However, after Kidd noticed that Garnett had come over to set the pick-and-roll, Kidd chose to ignore Carter without even thinking about it.

On the other side, Su Feng, who saw this scene, felt that the Lakers next season would be quite terrifying.

Because with Kidd’s identity and status...

He is not really afraid of the death glare.

In the high position, Wang Zhizhi's assist defense was not fast enough, and Garnett found an opportunity to pull away.

Swish——!

3 to 2.

At this time in 2000, compared with the slender little wolf back then, Garnett was already a mature wolf king.

It's a pity that even if the Timberwolves are not punished because of Joe Smith's yin and yang contract...

It's also difficult for Garnett to lead his team out of the West.

only......

In this life, there is a high probability that Duncan will play in Boston until he retires. Su Feng is very curious about who Garnett will turn his enemies into friends in the future.

On the court, before Su Feng could continue to think, Carter's signature provocation came as promised.

"If you are still looking around, tonight, I will tell you with practical actions...

Su, I can defend you as easily as Tracy defends Kobe. "Opening his arms, Carter grinned.

Su Feng: "..."

hiss----!

I don't know why, but Su Feng always feels that Kobe's recent publicity has caused him harm.

Because just before the start of this Sino-US war, McGrady had just had a phone call with him.

On the phone, McGrady confidently stated that Kobe is still a younger brother after gaining weight.

Because in a one-V-one real-man showdown between the two not long ago, McGrady tortured Kobe so badly.

In addition, in order to prevent Su Feng from believing in him, McGrady also said that he recorded at least ten videotapes of him KOing Kobe from various angles.

so......

Listening to Carter's ridicule to him, Su Feng knew very well that Maddie was definitely repeating what he said to Carter.

Then, Kobe is now reduced to a unit of measurement.

only......

Carter and Su Feng might not believe it...

In Los Angeles, Kobe, who was eating melon with Vanessa at the same time, was completely intoxicated by his terrifying power.

"Dear, why are you so happy?" Vanessa asked curiously while lying in Kobe's arms.

After hearing this, Kobe showed a lewd smile and said: "Haha, it's nothing, but the results of this summer's special training exceeded my imagination.

In the two days of bullfighting between Tracy and me, the winning-loss ratio between us was probably eight to two. "

Vanessa: "..."

There is something to say...

Vanessa really can't understand a man's happiness.

because......

Isn't this too childish?

Back to Sydney.

In the first half of the game, with the help of Carter, Su Feng, who successfully activated various buffs, has become a worry for the US men's basketball coach Tomjanovich.

In order to stop Su Feng, Tang Shuai even removed Ray Allen and replaced him with Payton, thereby forming a local encirclement of Su Feng.

As a result, Su Feng was held back, but Hu Weidong stepped forward.

However, in the first half of the game, it was the US men's basketball team that took the initiative.

Throughout the first half of the game, Wang Zhizhi's performance was average. Because Garnett's defensive area was wide enough, it was difficult for Wang Zhizhi to take advantage of his shooting range.

As for the steps...

Garnett's small forward-like lateral speed allows him to continue to pester Wang Zhizhi in the next second even if he stumbles.

As for Xiao Yao...

Although he has a high advantage in the matchup with Mourning, before Mourning suffered from kidney disease, the current Yao obviously was not able to completely defeat Mourning on the offensive end.

At the end of the first half, the Chinese men's basketball team trailed the US men's basketball team by 9 points, 36-45.

Among the 36 points scored by the Chinese team, Su Feng and Hu Weidong jointly scored 28 of them.

In the second half of the game, Zhang Bin took the initiative to make adjustments.

He replaced Wang Zhizhi with Battelle, and formed a more solid inside twin tower with Yao Ming.

This move also started in the second half, instantly opening the deadlock for the Chinese men's basketball team.

Although Battelle is just a tool in the Raptors, when he plays in the CBA, he is an out-and-out core player.

Under FIBA ​​rules, it doesn't matter if the inside player moves slowly.

Therefore, Battelle's advantage in strength allows the Chinese men's basketball team to regain its living space in the interior.

It's a pity that although the Chinese men's basketball team once tied the score in the second half of the game, in the second half of the second half, with Tomjanovich's various five-up and five-down moves, the American men's basketball team still regained control of the game. initiative.

At the last moment of the game, except for Su Feng, several other major players of the Chinese men's basketball team were close to their limits.

In order to avoid being taken away by Su Feng who suddenly turned on the switch of the gods descending to earth, Tang Shuai even used the classic ultimate move of four-to-one at the last moment of the game.

In front of the TV, countless rabbits shed tears when they saw this scene.

On the court, young Yao blamed himself even more.

Because if he could be stronger...

How great would that be?

No way, even though the Chinese men's basketball team had conducted a large number of personnel rotations in previous games in order to prepare for this game, in the face of absolute strength, Su Feng was still unable to lead the team across the chasm this night.

In the end, after Su Feng scored 13 points in the last 5 minutes, shocking the American men's basketball team into a cold sweat, the Chinese team lost the semifinal 85-91 and missed the gold and silver medal competition in this Olympics.

Su Feng scored a game-high 41 points, 8 rebounds, 3 steals, 2 assists and 1 block.

As for the U.S. team, except for Carter, who looked at the technical board after the game, Garnett scored 18 points, Mourning scored 12 points, Ray Allen scored five three-pointers, and scored 15 points. points, Kidd scored 10 points, and Houston also scored 10 points, which can be said to be more blossoming.

After the game, Su Feng took full responsibility for the loss.

Because if he hadn't only scored 41 points, then the Chinese men's basketball team would have had a chance to complete a comeback in this game.

And when I saw Brother Feng who was so "sad and sad"...

In this game, Xiao Yao, who was unable to give Su Feng more help because he received four fouls in the second half, secretly made up his mind.

That is......

Before the start of the next Olympic Games, he must become Su Feng's most reliable shield.

Because of this, Su Feng could rush into battle and kill the enemy without any scruples.

"No, Comrade Su Weiguo, the Olympic Games are not over yet, why can't I think of committing suicide?

ha? You and grandpa just watched my interview?

No... I'm sad, but it's not something I can't think about. Besides, there's a bronze medal waiting for me to bring back to Grandpa. "

Su Feng was speechless.

Because I don’t know if it’s because he’s used to being paralyzed and is rarely sad. As a result, the whole world thinks that he is extremely sad and about to suffer from depression.

What international joke are you making about Barkley's butt and Malone's elbow?

Su Feng regretted not being able to defeat the American team.

But he knows better that after he helped Larry Brown clear his name, as long as he can find a way to convince the American people that Larry Brown is the future of American basketball...

Then look at the combat effectiveness shown by the Chinese team in this Olympic Games...

Su Feng feels that the Chinese team has every chance to compete for a gold medal in the Athens Olympics.

Plus you might not even have to wait for the next Olympics...

In the 2002 World Championships held in Indiana, which American team was going to take the lead against the Chinese men's basketball team?

It is true that the U.S. men's basketball team is very powerful with its star-studded team.

But......

If they can't even reach the level of the Dream Team, how can they be so scary?

pity......

On the 29th, before the bronze medal match between China and Lithuania started, because they were worried that Su Feng would be too sad, many international student fans in Sydney even put up slogans in the stands, "Brother Feng, don't cry, let's fight again next time." .....

Be reasonable...

If it weren't for the fact that many of the literal meanings at this moment were just literal meanings, Su Feng would have just thought that these fans were trying to blame him.

Such as haha.

The hehe at this time is a complimentary word to express goodwill to others.

On the court, after Su Feng showed that his game state was not affected by the previous semi-finals...

In front of the TV, many Chinese fans were even more sad.

Because in their opinion...

Su Feng must be playing with extreme sadness.

"This is Su Feng! He never shirks his responsibilities!"

"Brother Feng, why shouldn't we love him?"

"Brother Feng, fly with peace of mind, honey will always be with you!"

As a result, the Chinese men's basketball team, which played as a "sad soldier", successfully avenged Lithuania, which they had previously lost in the group stage, in the bronze medal game.

Because two main players were injured in the semifinals with Yugoslavia, the Chinese men's basketball team won this game relatively easily.

In the second half of the second half, Lithuania, which had been 10 points behind the Chinese men's basketball team, used three-pointers to chase to no avail. In the end, with a score of 85 to 74, the Chinese men's basketball team unprecedentedly won third place in the Sydney Olympics.

As usual, the Chinese team will be on the podium with these two teams after the finals between the United States and Yugoslavia.

By then, China's five-star red flag will also be raised for the first time in the men's basketball award ceremony of the Olympic Games.

CCTV, when reviewing the Chinese men's basketball team's trip to the Olympics, Director Zhang said bluntly: "This is definitely a surprising result. At the same time, Su Feng also fulfilled his promise to Chinese fans when he returned to China.

At the 2000 Sydney Olympics, the Chinese men's basketball team successfully won zero medals in the men's three major sports events of the Olympic Games, achieving a breakthrough for Chinese sports with zero medals in the three major men's sports events! "

And it is worth mentioning that...

Not long after the bronze medal match ended, Su Feng suddenly received a call from Kobe.

"I know, you don't have to explain too much, Sue, losing to Vince is indeed a very sad thing...

Well, it doesn't count as losing to him. After all, in the game, you have almost beaten him into the Tracy when you face me these days.

But... no matter what, Su, don't forget what you said to me at the end of the finals.

The most glorious day in life is not the day when you achieve success.

Instead, we continue to challenge life from lamentation and despair, and bravely move towards the day when we will achieve our will.

Okay, UU reading www.uukanｓshu． net I have no other purpose in calling you. I just want to tell you that I have got off the plane and I am in Sydney now. "

Su Feng: "..."

In all the previous scripts about how to reconcile himself and Kobe, Su Feng had thought of many tricks to coax Kobe.

However......

How could he have thought that because Kobe was worried that he would not be able to bear the pain of losing to Carter...

He himself has actually come to Sydney.

"No...am I so worthless to lose?"

On this day, Su Feng was silent when he looked at himself in the mirror.
