Chapter 813
The opening ceremony of the Sydney Olympic Games is scheduled for September 9.
Li Shengli's participation in the national team is simply the biggest benefit for the men's basketball team, and the formalities have been completed before, so after the opening ceremony, Li Shengli and his teammates this time directly moved into the Olympic Games prepared by the Australian official for the participating athletes village.
In fact, the concept of the Olympic Village has not yet emerged at this time, but the Sydney Olympic Games... is indeed the first time in the history of the Olympic Games to arrange food and accommodation for athletes from various countries. All of them live in Nunnington near the Olympic Park, and the Chinese team It brings together the top players in the domestic sports world. Before and after the opening ceremony, Li Shengli also met many top athletes other than the men's basketball team.
It's just... Among all the athletes, Li Shengli is considered older, and it's considered good to be called Lao Li. Even the pretty girls in the gymnastics team saw him and called him uncle on purpose, which made him very embarrassed. However, the men's basketball team has already got to know a few livestock teammates, and they always like to pull him out to chat with the little girls after training.
……
Nunnington's athlete apartments are generally shared by two people, but there are many athletes in a single team event, and the organizing committee has specially arranged a large suite that can accommodate 20 people. The men's basketball team occupies a suite, and all players basically all live together.
"Old Li, Lao Hu and the others called you to go out for a walk." Dayao ran to Li Shengli's room, and Da Zhi followed him.
"Old Hu? Hu Weidong?" Li Shengli sat up from the bed and scolded: "No, damn it, I can't tell that Lao Hu is still this kind of person, who is older than me and married on horseback, and still goes out to work Why? What are you doing with me?"
"What you said, who made you famous, and we have a lot of old bachelors, maybe Lao Hu was also forced? I think..." Dayao patted his head and said.
"Damn, do you still have the discipline to ride the horse?" Li Shengli stood up, glanced at Dayao and said, "Let's get down to business... the day after tomorrow is the first game of the group stage. How are you preparing?"
……
Seriously, the grouping of the men's basketball team is not good this time.
According to the prediction of the coach Jiang Xingquan, if Li Shengli is not counted, although the lineup of the men's basketball team seems to be the best, but in fact it is still in the lower reaches of the 6 teams in Group A. The best result may be the fourth place in the group. If it is not good, it is normal to be the last one, and if you count Li Shengli, the super giant center in the NBA, there will be an improvement, but it is uncertain how much it will be improved.
The key is on the 17th, the first day of the men's basketball game.
The Chinese team will play the American Dream Team [-] in the first game of the group stage. This game is perfect as a touchstone for the strength of the new men's basketball lineup. For Li Shengli... this game is of great significance and has already set foot on the The NBA's Big Zhi is fine, but Yao, who is preparing to set foot in the NBA and competes in the Olympics for the first time, must perform well in this game, and someone will watch it.
"Old Li, I will play the US team in the first game. To be honest, I don't know what to do!" Dazhi knows better than Yao. Whether it is the experience of the Olympics or the experience in the NBA, he finds it difficult to play.
You know, the NBA Finals just finished a few months ago, if the current Dream Team is allowed to play, even if Garnett who belongs to the Celtics is left behind, the Celtics may not be able to stand it. Not to mention the Lakers who lost in the finals.
Take the Lakers team alone and compare it with the current Chinese team.
Although Li Shengli is still there, there is still a big gap between the Chinese team and the Lakers in essence. If it is compared with Dream Four, the gap can only be greater. After all, Dream Four brings together true NBA All-Star players.
"It's not a big problem, at least...it's not the worst!" Li Shengli's only comfort now is that O'Neal, Kobe, and Iverson didn't come.
As for Mourning, Garnett, Carter, Kidd, and Payton who may start Dream Four, compared to offense, defense is actually a greater threat. After all, the previous national team started with a group of outside shooters, and Kidd and Payton , especially an external defense expert like Payton, the teamed outside defense makes it difficult for shooters to perform.
In addition, the threat of the Dream Four to every team lies in physical fitness.
There is basically no team that can compete with the American Dream Team, and for the game, physical fitness is too important, even against the American team, maybe the first half will not be too ugly, but the second half is full of hips. Yes, double-digit losses to the US team is the norm.
"Don't worry about it, one game in the group match, it doesn't matter whether you win or lose."
"Let's focus on training these few days, Coach Jiang will arrange it."
"Also... Dayao, work harder these days, someone wants to see you!"
……
training for the next few days.
Men's basketball coach Jiang Xingquan arranged special training for the first game, and on the 17th...the 6 men's basketball teams had [-] games, and the Chinese team vs. the US team became the biggest focus of the game that day.
Both starting lineups.
The U.S. team doesn’t need to think too much, Mourning, Garnett, Carter, Kidd, and Payton are the starting forwards, and the Chinese team... Jiang Xingquan is impossible, and he is reluctant to sit on the bench for Li Shengli, so there is no need to consider the starting center. What to consider is the inside partner problem.
Dayao, who played in the Olympic group stage for the first time, failed to start, and it was Dazhi who started.
Although the lists are all declared according to the center, Jiang Xingquan also knows... Li Shengli's ability in the NBA, especially his physical fitness, so he has very little time for the center position, and the meaning of this good news and great news The reason is that Dazhi, Dayao and even Battelle will spend more efficient time, playing the inside twin towers.
Compared with the outside line that he used to rely on, Jiang Xingquan, the veteran, feels that the inside line is the key point this time.
It is foreseeable that the inside team led by Li Shengli is guaranteed. In fact, the offensive pressure on the outside line will also be reduced, which will help save energy and focus on defense. The other three starters this time are Zhang Jinsong, Guo Shiqiang, and Sun Jun.
……
Warming up before the game, to be honest, the Guimeng fourth team... before the game, they kept staring at Li Shengli, and the starting five got together and muttered a few words.
"Kevin, it's up to you later, you have to be brave when you meet Lee!" Kidd said to Garnett with a smile, and Garnett was shocked, thinking of the finals not long ago... …
At that time, Pierce's death charge opened up the situation in the first few games. After winning the championship, the whole Boston praised Pierce's bravery when facing Li Shengli. Pierce went to the bar to molest the black boss in order to find inspiration. Sister, mother, she was stabbed more than a dozen times and is still alive.
So in Garnett's view, bravery is a thing that can kill people, and Pierce was stabbed, and Li Shengli has to take the blame indirectly, because Li Shengli opened the door to Pierce's bravery.
"Damn it, don't try to hurt me!" Garnett cursed and glanced at Mourning.
"Damn, what do you think I'm doing?" Mourning also scolded, because fighting Li Shengli, O'Neal won't suffer in the entire league, and objectively speaking... Mourning also knows that he is a level behind Li Shengli.
"Okay, don't even talk about it, it's over if we attack directly and shoot, and this kind of defense will not have any pressure, unless we don't feel good." Payton said with a smile: "That's the offense. As for Defense...Didn't Rudy say that if the situation is not right, the defense starts directly from the serve, the whole court presses, we are full of people, and Li can't even get the ball, so why does he play?"
"So that's what you said?"
"That's right, relax, there's no pressure!" Kidd pondered for a while and said, "Everyone is tortured by that bastard Lee. Now it's not in the Lakers. Now is the best time for us to torture him. You can only blame him for being unlucky."
"We... can we still torture Li? Is this... so exciting?" Carter felt too crazy. After all, the status of Li Shengli's current alliance is too high, whether it is on the bright side or the dark side, who can stand here today People are all a bit behind him, no wonder Carter is excited.
"Yeah, it's so exciting, what are you waiting for, let's go!"
"Hurry up, I can't wait, there are not many opportunities like this."
"There won't be any problems, right? If Li is angry, then we will have a hard time in the future."
"You shouldn't be so stingy, right?"
"It doesn't matter, I can't control so much, I will fight first!"
