All I Really Want Is To Play Basketball

Chapter 41 When dreams are broken, a gift from a prosperous age

August 2, New York, Madison Square Garden.

Before the game, when Su Feng saw Larry Brown giving lectures to the members of the US Men's Basketball Team...

If it weren't for the fear that Duncan's restless hands would mess up her hair that she had carefully taken care of before the game, then Su Feng would really want to walk up to Brown and say to him:

Mr. Larry, all encounters in this world are reunions after a long absence.

Before the men's basketball team went to Greece, Su Feng used his personal connections to prepare two friendly matches for the men's basketball team...

In addition to the match between China and the United States in New York on the 2nd, the men's basketball team will also face the American team in a second match in Los Angeles on the 4th.

However, what is different from ordinary friendly matches is...

In order to prevent the Chinese men's basketball team from accidentally defeating the American men's basketball team in these two games, according to the competition system, except for the first quarter of these two games, the remaining 24 players of the two teams will be Su Feng and Duncan came to choose people and fight each other.

On the one hand, this will allow the young players in the men's basketball team who have never played in the NBA to experience what it is like to play with NBA players, and it will play a role in training the team.

On the other hand, this kind of more entertaining competition...

It also allows American fans to continue living in their dreams.

As a result, don’t tell me.

Although this format means that these two friendly matches between China and the United States will not have any reference value, both Chinese and American fans are full of great interest in this format.

On the 2nd, in the first friendly match between the two teams, similar to Su Feng's memory, the American men's basketball team revealed their ability to break through when facing zone defenses.

Since he won the championship with Digital Man this year, the new FMVP Allen Iverson also withdrew from the American men's basketball team due to physical reasons.

Then......

There's no after that.

On the court, if this game continues, Su Feng believes that the American men's basketball team will have their crotches stolen.

In the second quarter of the game, according to the rules, Su Feng selected James, Anthony, Wade, Marion, Stoudemire and Odom to his red team.

Duncan picked Yao Ming, Hu Weidong, Wang Zhizhi, Yi Jianlian, Zhu Fangyu, and Li Nan into his blue team.

Considering the "heartfelt" "mentor-disciple" relationship between himself and Su Feng, on this night, Brown rarely allowed the players of the blue team to play a lot of time.

As for the red team...

Under Su Feng's connection, "Jianguave" and others who frequently connected with him on the court also made the American fans at the scene enjoy watching.

On TNT TV, Barkley said with emotion: "Although this is the U.S. men's basketball team with the bleakest star in our eyes...

But if they can continue to maintain such vitality in Athens in the near future, then I believe that they will be able to rebuild the glory of American basketball! "

On the court, after selecting Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi, you can obviously find that Duncan immediately jumped up and down on the court.

Because according to FIBA ​​rules, both Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi have the ability to hold the ball at the free throw line, so Duncan...

This is definitely a Duncan that American fans have never seen before.

In Madison Square Garden, the "all-powerful" Dengtou scored 19 points, 11 rebounds, and 4 assists in the second and third quarters alone.

At this time, on the bench of the blue team, Larry Brown also felt that the American men's basketball team he led seemed to be stronger than he imagined.

"The zone defense can really handle Shaq...

But it can't limit Tim! "

In the fourth quarter of the game, Brown turned back to the assistant coaches around him many times.

From the perspective of Brown, who has full defensive talent but no offensive talent, as long as the U.S. men's basketball team insists on using Duncan as the core at the Athens Olympics, then the U.S. men's basketball team will surely be able to return to the world under his leadership. Overlord status.

However......

Regrettably.

He failed to see the space that Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi created for Duncan on the court.

Moreover, the Chinese fans in front of the TV have a deeper memory of "Gianguave"'s performance on this night.

After all, for Chinese fans who are accustomed to Guo Shiqiang being beaten, Guo Shiqiang being beaten, Liu Wei being beaten, and Liu Wei being beaten...

With the physical qualities of James and Wade, if you give the Chinese men's basketball team just one, in their eyes, Xiao Yao and Feng won't take off immediately?

In the end, the score of this game was 105 to 118.

According to the scoring rules, Duncan's blue team had the last laugh.

After watching the game in New York, Stern's assistant Mark also drew inspiration from it.

"David, look, why don't we change the All-Star Game to a format where the stars choose their own players?"

Since the Eastern Stars have always maintained their dominance over Star Weekend in recent years, in order to maintain the suspense of the main game of the All-Star Game, in Mark's opinion, this game system in which the stars themselves select players will be more suitable for the current version. NBA.

After hearing this, Stern thought for a while and saw the feasibility of this format from the match between the Chinese Men's Basketball Team and the American Men's Basketball Team.

"I heard that the format of these two games was proposed by Su?" Looking at Mark, Stern asked curiously.

"Yes, I have to say that Su is indeed a genius." Mark nodded.

So that's it...

Just when Su Feng was about to ask the men's basketball players to write a post-match speech about this game...

How did he know that Stern and Mark were already preparing to plagiarize his "idea".

On the 4th, in Los Angeles, the second battle between China and the United States attracted widespread attention locally.

As the two favorite teams to win the Athens Olympics, fans in Los Angeles are also looking forward to this format in which the two sides will play alternately in the last three quarters.

As early as when collecting the homework of the men's basketball players, Teacher Su discovered the positive effect this competition system had on these Chinese men's basketball players.

Because after the two teams exchanged 6 players, except for Yao Ming, Wang Zhizhi and others who have played in the NBA all year round, the others can clearly feel their lack of talent. In addition, in order to keep up with their teammates, they often They have to work harder than usual. Therefore, the "arrogance" that the men's basketball team had after 2002 has been virtually eliminated.

And this is why Su Feng didn't shout out the championship slogan in advance like he did in 2002.

Because compared to before the start of the 2002 World Championships, the Chinese men's basketball team at this time is no longer the "barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes" Chinese men's basketball team.

In Su Feng's opinion, having confidence is a good thing.

But if you are overconfident, that may not be a good thing.

In the end, in the second battle between the two sides, Su Feng's red team lost to Duncan's blue team 107 to 121.

Compared with the first match between the two teams, in the second match, Yi Jianlian from North Carolina became the protagonist of this match.

During the game, he completed alley-oop dunks with Marbury three times, which immediately made the American scouts who came to the scene feel his talent visible to the naked eye.

In the past two years, after coming to the United States, in addition to some small technical details that were corrected in advance by the training team sent by Su Feng, under high-level confrontation, Ah Lian's ability to eat cakes is also better than Su Feng remembered. a lot of.

In Su Feng's original time and space, many fans believed that Ah Lian's lack of ability to eat cakes in his early years was related to the fact that his teammates at the time refused to pass him the ball.

But in fact, in this regard, the main reason lies with the United Arab Emirates.

Since he has been accustomed to playing the C position in China for a long time, for a while, how did the Arab League know how to eat the cake introduced to the NBA?

In addition, the UAE team has problems with his positioning. Therefore, in UAE games, you can often see him standing stupidly in a high position waiting for the ball.

But in this life...

In North Carolina's game environment, where you don't have C, and there are many people who can stand up to C, Ah Lian's activity on the court is completely different from Su Feng's memory of the two people.

In fact, even in the future, 2K rated Yi Jianlian's athletic ability not low.

Therefore, in Su Feng's eyes, as long as the Arab League can remain as active as it is now...

Then he will definitely be a blessing to those sewer defenders.

On the 5th, after a night's rest in Los Angeles, the Chinese men's basketball team officially departed for Athens, Greece.

After arriving in Athens, an interesting scene happened in the Chinese men's basketball team.

That is......

Yao Ming, who really hoped that Brother Feng would be the flag bearer of the Chinese delegation at the opening ceremony of this year's Olympic Games, had to give up because Su Feng discovered his "wolfish ambition".

As we all know, the next Olympics will be held on Rabbit's doorstep.

so......

For young Xiao Yao, how could he not want to exchange the order of flag bearer with Su Feng?

Unfortunately......

Looking at Brother Feng's wise eyes, Xiao Yao immediately understood...

No matter how cunning he is, his cunning is not even one-tenth of Su Feng's.

According to the draw of the men's basketball competition before the start of the Athens Olympics, the Chinese men's basketball team, as the favorite to win the championship, was assigned to Group A.

As for the opponents in the same group, in addition to Serbia and Montenegro, New Zealand, Spain, and Italy...

What was different from Su Feng's memory was that Argentina, which was supposed to be in the same group as the men's basketball team, was assigned to Group B this time.

And this way...

Su Feng always feels that whether the American team can qualify from Group B has now become a matter worth thinking about.

In Su Feng's previous life, it was by virtue of defeating Greece and Angola in the group stage that the US men's basketball team secured their qualifying spot.

But now, because the Chinese men's basketball team has become a seeded team, Angola and Argentina have swapped groups...

so......

"I hope Larry Brown will be fine by then!"

That night, Su Feng silently prayed for Larry Brown while looking at the group lineup for the men's basketball competition in this Olympics.

From the 6th to the 8th, after arriving in Greece, the members of the Chinese men's basketball team mainly adjusted for the time difference in these two days.

Just as Britney expected...

After arriving in Greece, while walking in the Olympic Village, Su Feng received at least fifty cards asking him to go to the woods somewhere.

And here, in addition to some unknown female athletes, there are even some male athletes who are eager to fence with Su Feng.

Four years ago, as early as the Sydney Olympics, Su Feng had heard Carter mention the chaos in the Olympic Village.

No idea.

As a large-scale multi-sport event, these energetic and passionate athletes just know how to play.

Even sometimes, if you accidentally go the wrong way, you can happen to bump into athletes having a fierce battle in a corner.

Fortunately, since the Chinese Olympic delegation has always had strict regulations on this, and Su Feng is now not interested in women other than Britney, so in the past two days, while adjusting for the time difference, Su Feng's most important thing The task is to take Britney shopping.

Su Hao and Su Baobao, who were brought to Athens by Britney, have also become stars in various Chinese Olympic teams.

As a result, on the 9th, the Chinese women's volleyball team members who came to chat with Su Feng and Liu Xiang had a dispute over whether Su Hao should play volleyball or participate in sprinting in the future.

In Liu Xiang's words, with Su Hao's figure, he is a natural sprinter.

In the words of the Chinese women's volleyball players, among the three major Chinese teams, men's basketball already has Su Feng, so without considering Chinese football...

Su Hao should stand up and save Chinese men's volleyball.

And just when Liu Xiang was about to be drowned in the spit of the Chinese women's volleyball players...

At that time, Su Hao said "Uncle Kobe is good, Uncle Kobe is good", and the heated debate ended in an instant.

And at this time...

Su Feng suddenly felt that it was indeed a good thing to leave Su Hao to Kobe to hone his skills.

Because at least under the guidance of his uncle Kobe, Su Feng didn't have to worry that brat Su Hao would choose to play football in the future.

In Su Feng's eyes, no matter what Su Hao wants to do in the future, he will support Su Hao.

Um......

Except football.

On the evening of the 13th, the opening ceremony of the Athens Olympic Games was officially held at the Olympic Stadium in Athens, Greece.

At this Olympics, 11,099 athletes from 202 countries and regions will compete in a total of 28 major events and 301 minor events, the most in all previous Olympic Games.

Of course, this record will be broken by the Beijing Olympics in four years.

As the flag bearer of this year's Chinese Olympic delegation, when Yao Ming led the athletes of the Chinese delegation on the stage, the rabbits proudly puffed up their chests in front of the TV.

At this time in 2004, the rabbits at this time did not know that flower growers were about to usher in a decade of cheating.

And after these 10 years...

No matter how extravagantly you hype the Olympics, the rabbits will only say one thing to you subconsciously:

Oh, the Olympics? Can those poorer countries afford it?

Yes, that's right.

Until then...

Even Japan and the United States, which are now regarded as gods by the "Footbasin Rabbit" and "Eagle Rabbit", are no longer out of reach in the eyes of the rabbits.

As a gift to the flower growers who are about to usher in a prosperous era, in this era, under the premise that the Chinese men's basketball team has the strength to compete for Olympic gold medals...

On the evening of the 14th, in the first game of the Chinese Men’s Basketball Team at the Athens Olympics, the Chinese Men’s Basketball Team almost beat Angola, its little brother from Africa, to tears.

In the first quarter of the game, Angola had no choice but to switch to a zone defense when man-to-man marking could not restrict Su Feng.

But......

The discipline of African teams in defending the zone...

I understand everything.

As a result, at the end of the first half, the Chinese men's basketball team relied on the wonderful performances of Su Feng and Yao Ming to score 17 and 14 points respectively, leading Angola by 27 points 56 to 29.

In the third quarter of the game, men's basketball coach Zhang Bin, who has a high level of political and ideological awareness, decisively played "diplomatic basketball."

In the second half of the game, young players such as Yi Jianlian and Zhu Fangyu all got a lot of opportunities to play.

In the end, after defeating Angola 91-77, the Chinese men's basketball team got their wish for a good start in the Olympics.

During the game, the scene where Su Feng and Yao Ming were surrounded by Angolan players asking for autographs was also deeply remembered by the rabbits in front of the TV.

On the 15th, the Chinese men’s basketball team ushered in back-to-back games against New Zealand.

And compared to the game itself...

The most exciting thing about this game is probably the "Maori war dance" performed by the New Zealand players before the game.

In Su Feng's previous life, this game could be regarded as one of the masterpieces of Yao Ming's national team career.

Throughout the game, with the outside group of the Chinese men's basketball team paying tribute to Los Angeles, Yao Ming almost single-handedly destroyed the entire New Zealand defense.

After the game, Yao Ming, who scored 39 points in this game, officially established his position as the boss of the national team.

However, compared with the big Yao that Su Feng remembers killing everyone in this game...

Now this little Yao is on the court...

It's simply "lazy" as long as you can.

Facing New Zealand's encirclement and suppression of him in the game, Yao Ming frequently passed the ball hand-to-hand and formed a wonderful cooperation with Su Feng.

In the first quarter alone, the Chinese men's basketball team took a 15-point lead.

In the second quarter of the game, when he noticed that New Zealand's outside line was gaining momentum, Su Feng, together with Da Zhi, extinguished New Zealand's counterattack momentum with a wave of three-pointers.

During halftime, during an interview, the New Zealand coach said speechlessly: "A player as good as Wang is actually assigned as a substitute in this Chinese team...

This is such a luxury! "

In the second half of the game, after changing sides, the New Zealand men's basketball team completely gave up resistance.

Yi Jianlian and Zhu Fangyu were also delighted to hear that it was time to level up again.

Online, after the Chinese men's basketball team won two consecutive victories, the Rabbits' confidence in this men's basketball team to win the championship in Athens was instantly increased.

Of course, this confidence also comes from the performance of the American men's basketball team next door.

Just like in Su Feng's memory, in the opening game of the Athens Olympics, the US men's basketball team surprised the world.

In the game against Puerto Rico, the younger brother of the Americas, you can often see Duncan being isolated after encountering a double attack, and James and Anthony sitting on the bench biting their thumbs crazily.

At this time, Larry Brown always felt that this was not what he expected.

It is said that Duncan is unparalleled in FIBA's rules. Can this American men's basketball team win the championship just by playing casually?

In the game against Puerto Rico, facing Puerto Rico's zone defense, the U.S. men's basketball team just couldn't score.

But looking back, Larry Brown discovered...

He knows nothing about FIBA, but he is best at the iron-blooded defensive theory in the NBA...

It actually didn't play any role.

On this night that broke the hearts of countless American fans, Arroyo, the outside star of the Puerto Rican men's basketball team, was simply more Jordan than Jordan.

Strong breakthrough inside and one-on-one challenge outside.

Although before the start of this Olympics, McGrady, Kidd, Iverson and others have withdrawn from the American men's basketball team...

But who would have thought that the little-known Arroyo would be addicted to Jordan in front of this American men's basketball team?

In the hotel, while watching the US men's basketball game, Su Feng suddenly felt sorry for Marbury and others.

Because if you only tie one husky to the coaching bench of the US men's basketball team, I'm afraid the US men's basketball team will have more than that.

It is true that under FIBA's rule system, it will be difficult for these stars who have been used to playing in the NBA for a while to adapt.

But in terms of the talent of this American men's basketball team...

Just by using five up and five down to press the entire court, few teams in the world can compete with them.

Unfortunately......

Facts have proved that in Su Feng's original time and space, it was not Brown who was unwilling to give Milicic a chance.

Rather, even if you give him James, he can let James go to the water fountain.

Online, after the disappointing debut of the US men's basketball team, American basketball fans even suspected that the US men's basketball team had been coerced by "terrorists" before the start of the game.

after all......

No matter how knowledgeable you are about football, you still can't figure out why the American men's basketball team suddenly stretched its hips.

As a result, American fans who originally thought that playing Puerto Rico was just a nightmare could not imagine it.

Their nightmare has just begun.

On the 15th, just as the Chinese men's basketball team was celebrating its second consecutive victory, in the game against the Argentine men's basketball team, the night before, the American men's basketball team, which had just let Arroyo pass Jordan's addiction...

On this night, I met the "real Jordan".

As the number one enemy of the Chinese men's basketball team in the eyes of Su Feng at this Olympics, after two years of training, the golden generation of the Argentine men's basketball team, led by Ginobili, once competed with the American men's basketball team in this game. In the basketball game, a lead of as much as 20 points was established.

Compared with Arroyo, the Puerto Rican Jordan, Ginobili, the Argentine Jordan, is obviously several dimensions higher in level.

At the scene, when explaining the game, the American commentators even said: "Manu Ginobili is the God of Athens!"

On the court, after the game entered garbage time, it was the new members of the U.S. team that Larry Brown looked down upon before. Through their tenacious defense, the U.S. men's basketball team saved some face in the score.

In the end, after losing to the Argentine men's basketball team 81-94, the U.S. men's basketball team, which had lost two consecutive games, became increasingly unoptimistic in terms of qualifying situation.

On the 16th, the Chinese men’s basketball team had a day off.

On the 17th, in Athens, according to the schedule, the Chinese men's basketball team also welcomed their old rival Spain.

In Su Feng's original time and space, at this Olympics, the men's basketball team lost to Spain in the group stage and later in the seventh and eighth qualifying matches.

In the group stage, the men's basketball team suffered a 58-83 defeat.

Judging from the actual process of these two games, objectively, the disagreement between Battle and Yao Ming in the group stage did affect the performance of the men's basketball team on the court at that time.

Therefore, compared to the group stage, in Su Feng's eyes, the game with more reference value should be the game between the two teams in the seventh and eighth rankings.

As another big killer in the FIBA ​​arena, Pau Gasol scored a total of 37 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists, and 1 block in the game.

Although when she was a keyboard warrior, as a Hu honey, Su Feng also liked to complain about her cowardly sister-in-law.

But when facing Spain, Su Feng did not dare to take it lightly.

Because he knows very well...

Under FIBA's rules, Gasol's power is amazing.

In addition, in addition to Gasol, Juan Navarro and Rudy Fernandez, who are well-known to Chinese fans, have also grown into Gasol's right-hand man.

As another team that ushered in the "golden generation" in the world of basketball, Spain's combat power in FIBA ​​during this period was no worse than that of the American men's basketball team at the same time.

Moreover, judging from the upcoming schedule of the Chinese men's basketball team, in addition to Spain, they will also have to compete with Italy, the runner-up of the Athens Olympics in Su Feng's memory, and Serbia and Montenegro, the champion of the last World Championship... ..

Therefore, in Su Feng's view, whether he can win this match with Spain is extremely critical.

On the court, after the players from the two teams finished warming up, the big screen immediately showed the starting lineups of the two teams tonight.

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

Spanish men's basketball team: Gasol, Reyes, Fernandez, Navarro, Calderon.

In the center of the field, Xiao Yao, who had been paddling behind Su Feng for two consecutive battles, seemed to be a different person as soon as he came up tonight.

After jumping the ball for the Chinese men's basketball team, Yao sat in the Spanish low post on the first attack.

In the penalty area, after squeezing Gasol away, Yao Yao scored the first attack for the Chinese men's basketball team through a hook in the low post against Reyes' help.

2 to 0.

Coming back, as soon as Reyes received Gasol's pass with his front foot and prepared for a layup, the energetic little Yao slid in front of him.

Good guy!

Obviously!

Have you now learned to treat Brother Feng as a tool?

On the court, I watched Yao Ming, who had only turned on full power mode until tonight...

At this moment, Su Feng always felt that his chest was "extremely painful".

That’s all.

In Su Feng's view, it is also a good thing for him that this little Yao has learned to maintain his health.

after all......

Isn’t good steel meant to be used on the blade?

On the court, under the shadow of Yao, Reyes, who did not dare to force a shot, quickly returned the ball to Gasol.

At this time, Su Feng also rushed over and stopped in front of Gasol.

In terms of height, Gasol is taller in this matchup.

But facing Su Feng's terrifying wingspan, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net and that solid horse stride, Gasol discovered...

At this moment, there was really nothing he could do against Su Feng.

On the basketball court, when the big players are playing small, not all the time, the big men can easily get the chance to shoot.

And the ability of people like Charles Barkley and Su Feng to get inside depends not only on their ability to create natural mismatches when attacking.

By pressing closely and compressing the shooting space of big players, small insiders can also prevent big players from taking easy shots on the court.

The Spanish men's basketball team made its first attack. With the tacit cooperation of Yao Ming and Su Feng, the Chinese men's basketball team successfully defended the Spanish men's basketball team until the 24-second attack time reached zero.

On the bench of the Spanish men's basketball team, Spanish coach Garcia also frowned for a moment.

Because what is different from what he expected is that the Chinese men's basketball team may underestimate the enemy in this game...

The Chinese men's basketball team not only proved that they know Spain as an opponent very well in this offense and defense.

and......

Su Feng, who serves as the fourth position, also relieves Yao Ming's pressure on the defensive end to a great extent.
