Chapter 298 The Miserable Dream Team Six!

In the men's basketball competition of the Olympic Games, the American Dream Team 6 gave audiences all over the world such a big surprise, which was really unexpected.

Puerto Rico has actually always been a strong team in the world of basketball, but Puerto Rico's reputation is too small, which gives people a very shocking feeling.

For example, if the Chinese men's football team goes to Europe and loses to Germany and France, no one will find it strange, but if they lose to Iceland, it will be shocking and they will feel ashamed.

In fact, Puerto Rico's level of basketball is much higher than Iceland's level of football.

To be honest, don’t blame the audience around the world for thinking that the American team lost this game shamelessly. In fact, even Larry Brown felt that the loss of this game was very shocking. He, like the audience around the world, sees reality in his eyes. There is no such thing as Puerto Rico.

It never occurred to him that the American Dream Team would fall to Puerto Rico on a bad start.

There is no way, in the eyes of Americans, there is really only themselves, there will be no world, let alone a country like Puerto Rico.

So after the defeat in the 2002 World Championships, they lost the Olympic Games by a score of almost 20 points. This performance was even worse than the 2002 World Championships. How could the Americans endure this?

The US team doesn't care about the World Championships at all, but they still care about the Olympics.

Originally, Dream Team 6 was the biggest star team in the Olympics, a special team that didn’t even have to live in the Olympic Village to play in the Olympics. It could be said to be the only group that enjoyed privileges in the Olympics.

Enjoying such high privileges and treatment, but performing so badly.

You only need to imagine a little bit to know how much criticism the Dream Team has encountered after losing to Puerto Rico by a huge score.

Mengliu's poor performance in the first game was a huge disappointment. Not only were the world's audiences eager to see NBA stars kill everyone, but the American audience who came to Athens to watch Mengliu's game was even more heartbroken.

Suddenly, throughout Greece and the entire world, the voice of crusade against Meng Liu could be heard everywhere.

The American spectators on the sidelines even booed Mengliu from time to time during the match between the Dream Team and the host Greek team, and even joined the local Greek fans in condemning Mengliu.

It can also be seen from this how disappointing Meng Liu's loss to Puerto Rico was.

Not to mention these outsiders, even the head coach of the Dream Six Team, Larry Brown, after losing the first game by a huge score, his face was livid with anger, and he looked at everyone as if they were a mole.

The fact that the United States was bloodbathed by Puerto Rico by such a large score really almost destroyed coach Larry Brown's reputation. Although under the fist of Rasheed Wallace, Larry Brown's reputation is not that many, but after so many years Achievement does not mean that it does not exist.

As long as he can perform perfectly in this Olympics, it will be easy for him to make a comeback.

However, after the match between Meng Liu and Puerto Rico, even if Meng Liu wins the Olympics this time, he may not be able to make a comeback.

The pride of American basketball cannot tolerate such a defeat.

This is not the U.S. team at the World Championships, this is the U.S. team at the Olympics, with so many superstars!

With so many superstars, he couldn't even beat Puerto Rico and lost by almost 20 points. Is this head coach worse than a dog on a leash? !

Larry Brown doesn’t blame the American media and audience for saying that about him, seriously.

He himself didn't believe that Meng Liu's strength would lose so much.

Other than having a mole, Larry Brown really can’t find any reason.

Therefore, during the game against Greece, Larry Brown was really looking at the Dream Team players on the court with a critical eye.

After being betrayed by his henchman Rasheed Wallace, Larry Brown's trust in his players was not high to begin with.

Now, it's even lower.

Historically, the Dream Six team led by Larry Brown did not perform well against Greece. Now that Larry Brown has done this, the American team performed even worse.

And now the American team can't even beat the Greek team on the court. Larry Brown must be even more distrustful. The American audience on the sidelines is naturally even more unhappy. For a time, the entire Dream Six team has fallen into a vicious cycle.

So Larry Brown on the sidelines saw the poor performance of the Dream Six players on the court and shouted loudly from time to time, trying to get them to play as a team. However, in his opinion, the Dream Six lacked loyalty and hard work and still let him Heartbreaking.

To be honest, for Larry Brown, who was yelling at the court at this time, these players desecrated the true meaning of basketball in his heart.

For Larry Brown, he really doesn't understand these Dream Team players on the court at this time.

In fact, the players of Dream Team 6 are also confused themselves, and they don't understand what Larry Brown is doing.

In the international arena, Larry Brown's iron-blooded basketball really doesn't work.

How to put it, let’s put it this way, the standards of FIBA ​​competition are much tighter than the NBA playoffs. Larry Brown’s iron-blooded basketball was born for the NBA playoffs and the NCAA championships. Yes, there is no foul in beating someone to death. As long as you are cruel enough, you can always take advantage.

But it's different in the international arena. Let's put it this way. In the international arena, players from strong European and American teams are all movie stars. You want to play hardcore with me?

Then I can't thank you enough. If I don't turn everything upside down for you, I will take your surname.

In front of this group of movie stars, iron-blooded defense is useless, and on his own side, Larry Brown does not trust offensive players very much, especially players who are offensive but not defensive.

In the international arena, several of your opponents' big insiders move inside. What do you think you can do?

If you can't score from the outside, even O'Neal at his peak may not be able to do it, let alone Duncan.

In fact, facing the outside combination of Iverson, Arenas, and Marbury, Duncan was also very miserable. Ron Howard could pass the ball to him and cooperate with him. Other guards, that's really Just do it and it's done.

And Larry Brown himself couldn't train the offense, so he could only let the team's defenders mess around.

In this case, what do you tell the players of Dream Six, what should they do?

What else can I do if I’m not confused?

So after losing to Puerto Rico and then losing to the host Greece in the second game, many players of the Dream Six Team were already regretting it.

"Chen, I shouldn't have joined Dream Team 6!"

After the U.S. team lost to Greece 77-81 and lost two consecutive games in the Olympics, Anthony regretted it.

It's too tragic to not have Larry Brown's trust in the team and then have to take the blame for Larry Brown's loss.

Now Anthony is envious of James and Wade.

Xiao Zhan was practicing shooting in seclusion and reluctantly rejected Nike's request.

Wade was injured by the Pistons, so how could he join the Dream Six.

Therefore, facing Meng Liu who is in such a bad situation now, Hook will definitely be very happy that his main star James did not participate.

To be honest, Gouzi was very dissatisfied with Chen Xiao, who had never been very cooperative. He wanted to take money but not work. This was too stupid.

Moreover, Chen Xiao was uncooperative, and Xiao Zhan also began to not cooperate with their business plan. Therefore, after Xiao Zhan refused to participate in this year's Olympic Games, the top management of Gouhui was very angry.

Now, seeing James's far-sighted behavior, Hook probably can't get angry anymore, but will try to repair the relationship with Xiao Zhan.

It's just that it's hard to say whether it can be repaired well. The thorn is buried anyway.

Back to Olympic basketball.

Mengliu's poor performance made them the focus of the Olympics.

Now they are among the most ridiculed of all Olympic athletes.

No kidding, none of the Dream Team 5 who lost the 2002 World Championships was as miserable as the Dream Team 6.

Before it happened, no one would have imagined that the situation would be so bad. Meng Liu's two games were extremely disappointing.

Not to mention the Olympics and the world, even the voice of crusade in the United States is becoming increasingly loud.

According to the New York Times, after the game between the United States and Greece, a New York radio sports forum program continued to receive calls from listeners. Listeners said that the Dream Team was the worst among all the Dream Teams that represented the United States in the Olympics. of one term.

Similarly, KNBR, a sports forum program in San Francisco 3,000 kilometers away, also received countless similar calls.

"Now, this has become a worldwide topic." KNBR's producer said in an interview with the New York Times. "When listeners talk about the Olympics, they will definitely talk about basketball. After the Dream Six lost to Puerto Rico, almost all the listeners who called They say Dream Team 6 is a bunch of rubbish and they deceived the United States."

"And after the U.S. team lost to Greece, the listeners who called in said that these NBA players from Dream Team 6 were a disgrace to the United States!"

"No one in this class really understands the meaning of 'team'. The Dream Team is the real 'team'. Players such as Magic Johnson, Air Jordan and Larry Bird have a profound influence on the team, defense and passing. Deep understanding. It doesn’t matter who scores, what the team needs is someone to score and help the team win.”

"There are players on our Dream Six team with multi-million contracts, but they are struggling at the free throw line. They have no touch when standing on an arc that is almost the same distance from the three-point line in a high school court. Dream Six Watch It looks like a bunch of energetic kids attending a party, with no structure. I can't stand them continuing to play like this without any pursuit."

"Before the first game, our guys looked awe-inspiring because they had the arrogance on their faces that they were going to win easily. It's a shame for the Americans, not because they lost, but because of their 'selfishness' '."

"As the head coach of the Dream Six Team, Larry Brown needs to be responsible for the selfishness of the players on the US team. It was he who infected the selfishness to the entire team!"

Comments like this producer can be seen everywhere in the United States.

After the Dream Team played these two games, it has become politically correct for the world to criticize the Dream Team.

This is no joke.

Even many Americans who are serving other teams have not forgotten to step in the Dream Six team at this time.

Nelson, the general manager of the Mavericks, is currently at the Athens Olympics. He is Lithuania's assistant coach at the Olympics. He couldn't hide his shock (excitement) when he saw Meng Liu's performance.

"The players of Dream Six should not bear the consequences of such a defeat. Larry Brown and Popovich need to be responsible for such a failure!"

Nelson said heartbroken (and excited) and continued, "Other countries are far less developed than the United States in basketball, and they don't spend as much money on basketball as our country. Our players definitely receive much more basketball education than other countries. I have noticed for a long time that there may not be a coach with better technical and tactical skills than Larry Brown in the basketball world, but no matter who he is, he must be good at listening to the players so that the team can be competitive. You can't Sitting in the car and enjoying it every day, but on the field, I can only spray feces on my own players!"

What does it mean to be pushed down by the wall?

This is the wall that everyone pushes against.

Whether it's the Dream Team or Larry Brown, when these two behemoths are about to collapse, there will definitely be no shortage of someone who can give them a try in the end.

Unlike the Dream Team 6, which was criticized and criticized crazily by the whole world in the Olympics, the Chinese men's basketball team was really praised in addition to being praised in the Olympics.

After defeating Spain, the strongest opponent in Group A, by 10 points in the first game, on August 17, the Chinese team defeated New Zealand 99-78 and achieved two consecutive group stage victories.

By the way, Yao Ming performed very well in this game. This game can be called a personal show of the "Little Giant".

Dayao played 34 minutes in this game and scored a game-high 39 points and 13 rebounds on 15 of 20 shots. This score is the highest personal score in a single game so far in this Olympic Games.

Chen Xiao scored the team's second-highest 28 points. Except for Yao Ming and Chen Xiao, no one else in the Chinese team scored in double figures. Wang Ge scored 9 points and Du Feng scored 7 points.

On the New Zealand side, leading scorer Phillip Jones scored a team-high 30 points. He hit 7 three-pointers, and Marcos scored 11 points.

New Zealand hit 12 three-pointers in the entire game, which was very accurate.

China only had 7, 6 of which were from Chen Xiao, and the others only hit 1 three-pointer. It can be seen that the Chinese team's three-pointers are actually not that reliable.

Let's put it this way, except for Chen Xiao, everyone on the Chinese team can shoot three-pointers, but everyone is unstable.

On August 19th, Greek time, the Chinese team faced the strong enemy Argentina in the third group match.

Argentina defeated Serbia and Montenegro and lost to Spain in the previous two games. This game with the Chinese team is related to their group ranking.

If you win, you may be in the top two of the group. If you lose, you can only compete for third place in the group.

With the US team having lost two games in a row, the teams in Group A are of course afraid of falling short of the top two in the group.

Who the hell wants to qualify from the group to play on the American Dream Team?

Therefore, in the first two games, everyone in Group A was vying for the lead. However, in the context of the United States' two consecutive losses, the atmosphere in Group A's group stage instantly became a little different.

While the U.S. team is likely to be third or even fourth in Group B, it is still embarrassing for the Chinese team to be first in Group A.

Do you want to let it go?

The Chinese team has had a meeting.

The leader is saying, let the ball go and take the initiative to lose!

Well, no kidding, there is such a tradition in the Chinese sports world.

However, the leader's decision was directly rejected by Chen Xiao, Yao Ming and Bage.

"We want a championship, but not just a championship."

"We are the strongest!"

Facing the dumbfounded leaders, Chen Xiao directly threw out the two original words of Boss Ji.

The leaders who were smashed were really dizzy.

Dayao and Bago who were watching next to them were also frightened.

"I'm afraid only Xiao Chen's words have such weight now!"

I can’t accept it!

This is really unacceptable.

"Brother Chen, those two sentences you said are so good, they make people's blood boil!"

"I didn't say that."

"..."

Seeing the young Chinese players on the team who flattered and slapped on the horse's legs, Pug laughed out loud.

"Hahahaha, this is the words of Mr. Chen's former boss in the Nets, Brother Ji, the boss of Ji."

Seeing the back of Chen Xiao who left easily after finishing the leadership, many people looked envious.

It is really lucky to meet such a boss and teammates for the first time in the NBA.

"Kidd is the hero of Chinese basketball."

Teacher Zhang finished talking to Faye Wang next to her in a low voice, and Faye Wong nodded seriously.

Even the leaders of the Chinese basketball team behind them, although they were stunned by Chen Xiao, they couldn't refute Teacher Zhang's words.

Kidd is really the hero of Chinese basketball, who has cultivated such a headache and loveable "peerless wonder" for Chinese basketball.

"If we don't have the courage to face such a miserable American team, it's not Xiao Chen's problem, it's our problem."

The leaders looked at each other and said.

It can make the leaders feel that we may really have a bite of this dish.

You can imagine how miserable Dream Team 6 is now.

No kidding, of all the dream teams in history, the situation of the Dream Six team in the group stage is the worst in history.

ps: When Dream Team 6 played in the group stage, the public opinion was so miserable. It was the worst Dream Team in history. This was stamped by the American media. Everyone was shouting for a fight and the world caroused. The old fans should be influential, haha. .

ps: Today’s first update.
