Chapter 583 The Olympic Games Begin

This is the Olympic Games held in my hometown. The Chinese Olympic delegation is full of pride. When the phalanx marches, everyone's face is filled with smiles.

Li Tuanjie was no exception. He could imagine that his grandmother would be extremely proud to show off to her neighbors when she saw him on TV.

After the opening ceremony, Li Tuanjie's life became busy!

In normal history, the Chinese Olympic men's basketball team drew lots and drew Group B. This group is known as the group of death. There are powerful teams in the group such as the United States, Spain, Greece, and Germany. Among the six group teams, Angola is the weakest. All are African champions.

But Li Tuanjie, a little butterfly, changed the direction of history. This time, the Chinese Olympic men's basketball team was divided into Group A. The opponents in the group were Lithuania, Argentina, Russia, Australia and Croatia.

There is no doubt that the strength of Group A is far behind that of Group B. The Chinese men's basketball team had pretty good luck in the draw this time.

August 10th is the first day of the men's basketball team. The Chinese team's first opponent is Russia in the group.

In this year's Russian men's basketball team, the biggest and strongest player is definitely AK47 Kirilenko, but Kirilenko is already quite old now, and his ability on the court is limited. Russia's The overall lineup is not very strong in this Olympics and is basically at the bottom.

The game starts at nine o'clock in the morning. At six o'clock in the morning, all the men's basketball players have gathered at Wukesong Gymnasium...

The start time of the Olympic men's basketball team is of course different from that of the NBA. The game may start at nine o'clock in the morning, or it may not start until around 10:30 in the evening. This is also a big challenge for the players.

This game is the first game of the Chinese men's basketball team, and the game venue is right in front of home, so domestic fans packed the entire Wukesong Gymnasium with a huge crowd.

The rules of the Olympic men's basketball team are quite different from those of the NBA. However, the ultimate goal of basketball is to put the basketball into the basket. The rules may affect the player's condition, but the impact will not be too great.

Take the U.S. Men's Basketball Team, for example. Most of their players are NBA players. Although the Olympic rules are different from the NBA rules, they can still exert a dominant level of strength!

As soon as eight o'clock arrived, the referee blew the whistle to start the game on time, and players from both sides began to take the field.

The starting lineup of the Chinese team: center Yao Ming, power forward Wang Zhizhi, small forward Zhu Fangyu, shooting guard Sun Yue, and point guard Li Tuanjie.

On the Russian team, there are five starting players including Kirilenko, JR Holden, and Fred Zein!

After the starting players came on the stage, Kirilenko sighed secretly. The strength of the Chinese men's basketball team in front of him was too terrifying. Kirilenko had no confidence that he could lead the team to defeat the Chinese men's basketball team.

"Hey, I can only leave it to fate. I hope there won't be too big a score difference in the end..." Kirilenko thought in despair.

At the beginning of the game, Li Tuanjie controlled the ball and moved towards the frontcourt. Since the half time of the Olympic men's basketball team is ten seconds and each offensive round is thirty seconds, Li Tuanjie was not in a hurry and slowly dribbled the ball towards the frontcourt. Walk away.

The numbers on the frontcourt rebounds kept refreshing, and Yao Ming had already taken a position under the basket.

Two meters away from the midfield line, Li Tuanjie saw the number on the backboard suddenly refreshed to 52. Without thinking, he shot a three-pointer...

Because the opponent was too weak, Li Tuanjie couldn't afford to play so rigorously, and it was impossible to lose in the end anyway.

This super long three-pointer, which spanned half the court and was two meters farther, actually hit the target in front of the surprised eyes of tens of thousands of people at the scene!

Li Tuan Tuan couldn't help but smile. It looked like he was lucky today!

The main reason why Li Tuanjie shot this three-pointer was because Yao Ming was in a good position under the basket. Even if he didn't score, Yao Ming still had a great chance to grab the offensive rebound...

Stotts covered his face and smiled bitterly on the sidelines. He felt that the scene that just happened was the reason why Li Tuanjie asked him to be the head coach of the men's basketball team...

If you compare it to other head coaches, if their players dare to make such random shots, I am afraid that this player will be put on the bench as soon as possible...

Especially those strict European coaches, they pay attention to the team basketball style. In their eyes, Li Tuanjie's style of play is simply a cancer among cancers!

Yunus is also paying attention to this game. After being fired by the Chinese men's basketball team, he immediately returned to his home country of Lithuania and served as the chief assistant coach of the national team. His goal is to lead the Lithuanian team to give the Chinese men's basketball team a hard blow, especially Li Tuan Tuan learned a lesson!

"Hmph, lucky players with cancer will never go too far in the Olympics!" Yunus snorted after seeing Li Tuanjie shoot a seemingly absurd three-pointer at the beginning.

After scoring a three-pointer, the Chinese men's basketball team began to defend...

"You kid, it's really unexpected..." During the return to defense, Yao Ming said to Li Tuanjie in a state of laughter and tears. Such an offensive method was really beyond Yao Ming's expectations...

"Don't worry, Brother Yao, I'm measured and I won't do anything random!" Li Tuanjie said to Yao Ming with a smile.

"Okay, just be measured. This is a game played in front of our own home. We can't mess around..." Yao Ming is also afraid that Li Tuanjie is young and energetic and makes too many irrational actions during the game, which will affect Li Tuanjie. A reputation for unity…

Kirilenko is even more desperate. Not only does the opponent have an absolute advantage in strength, but his luck seems to be incredible. Can he score a goal like that just now? ! Where can they find hope of winning...

In the next few offensive rounds, the men's basketball team went on a 12:2 run. The only two points the Russian team got were through free throws!

Li Tuanjie also knows that if he plays according to his usual offensive method, it will definitely affect the performance of other teammates. Therefore, Li Tuanjie played a pure traditional point guard in this game.

By constantly dividing the ball, he creates offensive opportunities for his teammates. If his teammates really don't have suitable offensive opportunities, Li Tuanjie will make breakthroughs on his own, which can basically guarantee that he can gain something in every offensive round.

The Russian team became more and more desperate as they played. They felt as if they were facing the American Dream Team!

Kirilenko has led the Russian team to play against the American Dream Team several times before. The strength of the Chinese men's basketball team in front of him makes him feel even more incomprehensible than the American Dream Team!

As an insider, Yao Ming, once he has established his position under the basket, as long as the ball reaches his hands, there is almost no solution!

As for Li Tuanjie, his physical fitness is too amazing. Whether it is his own breakthrough or quick distribution of the ball, the Russian team members are unable to parry at all!

Not only that, the Russian team had already made arrangements for Li Tuanjie before the game. They used two or even three people on the court to defend Li Tuanjie, but the effect was very bad. Between the two or even three In the three-person joint defense, Li Tuanjie still played with ease, without any pressure at all!

Whether they are fans watching the game live or watching through live broadcast, they are all extremely excited to see the Chinese team beating the Russian national team!

Originally, they were extremely confident in this Chinese men's basketball team, but now the Chinese men's basketball team has indeed shown its super strength that deserves their peace of mind!

"China team, come on!"

"China team, come on!"

Countless Chinese fans wearing red jerseys cheered loudly at the scene. At this moment, even if they don't like a certain player in the Chinese men's basketball team, they will definitely cheer for him without hesitation. In the face of national honor, personal likes and dislikes are obvious. So small...

After the first half of the game, for a full 20 minutes, the Chinese men's basketball team had led the Russian team by 28 points!

However, Li Tuanjie's appearance time in the first half of the game was not too long, only about twelve minutes!

Stotts also showed his good lineup arrangement ability at this time, trying to stagger the playing time of Yao Ming and Li Tuanjie, the two strongest players, so that the Chinese men's basketball team can always maintain strong competitiveness on the court!

Li Tuanjie, who played for 12 minutes, scored 27 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists, which is perfect among perfections!

Yao Ming played about 10 minutes of playing time, and his statistics were dazzling enough. His 13 points, 11 rebounds and 4 blocks were enough to beat Russia's insiders!

The first game of the Chinese men's basketball team was completely smooth. Not only the statistics of the two giants in the team were very dazzling, but the performance of other players was also remarkable!

Wang Zhizhi scored three three-pointers, fully demonstrating his outside offensive threat. Although Sun Yue rarely participated in the offensive end, he also contributed three steals and blocks in his ten minutes or so. The data!

In fact, Sun Yue himself is confused now. He can clearly feel that his strength has increased a lot!

Before opening the surprise box, Sun Yue's strength would have been around sixty if measured by system standards. Now, fifteen points of strength attributes have been added out of thin air. This allows Sun Yue to fight against Russian outside players. Occupying a huge advantage!

In just half the game, the fighting clan was beaten to the point where they completely lost their will to fight. They really couldn't win this game!

Rather than continue to consume a huge amount of physical energy and lose in the end, it is better to preserve the physical fitness of the main lineup for the next schedule!

The group stage schedule is played every other day. This schedule is quite intensive for veterans. It is impossible for Russia to let veteran Kirilenko risk his life to play a game with no chance of winning!

According to the rules of the Olympic Games, the two groups will eliminate the two teams at the bottom of each group based on points. The remaining eight teams will compete in the quarterfinals in the order of A1 vs. B4, A2 vs. B3, etc.

The winning teams from these four groups will advance to the semi-finals, and the teams that continue to win will advance to the finals!

The specific schedule rules are somewhat similar to the Ten Thousand Realms League that Li Tuanjun participated in!

Li Tuanjie actually didn't know much about the Olympic men's basketball schedule before. He thought that there would be an extremely large number of men's basketball teams participating, and it was already very good for the Chinese men's basketball team to finish eighth...

But after truly understanding the situation of the Olympic men's basketball team, Li Tuanjie was speechless. There are only twelve teams in the Olympics, and China's current best result is eighth. This result is actually not that outstanding...

However, Li Tuanjie is confident that at least in the Olympic Games held in the next twenty years, the Chinese men's basketball team will never fall out of the top three, just because Li Tuanjie exists in the Chinese men's basketball team!

Soon, after a few minutes of the second half, the Russian team switched to a pure substitute lineup, giving up resistance!

Stotts also immediately took the team's main players off the field, put the substitute lineup on, and waited for the victory when the game time was over!

Stotts is also extremely relaxed now. According to the current strength of the Chinese men's basketball team, it is no exaggeration to say that in the NBA, it can win the championship. In the Olympics, it can achieve top three results. Getting a medal is a sure thing...

Stotts couldn't hide his excitement at the thought of adding another important addition to his resume. Among all the basketball coaches in the United States, how many can win medals in the Olympics? You can count them all with just one slap!

Soon, he, Stotts, will be included in the list of American Olympic medal-winning coaches just like those meritorious coaches of his predecessors!

When the game ended, the Chinese team defeated the Russian team with a huge 45-point advantage and got a good start at the Olympics.

This game is the first game of the Olympic men's basketball competition. There are still five group matches to be played today. Li Tuanjie and the others had some news at noon and trained all afternoon. In the evening, five people appeared again. Kesong Stadium, because at 10:15 in the evening, there is a match between Iran and the American Dream Team, the basketball hegemon!

The current dream team is also called Mengba, which as the name suggests is the eighth dream team!

The term "Dream Team" first appeared at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics. Since that Olympics, almost all previous U.S. men's basketball national teams have been composed of NBA stars. The NBA has sent players representing the highest level in the world. Professional basketball players, so the American men's basketball team is called the "Dream Team", that is, the Dream Team.

When the previous four Dream Teams participated in top events such as the Olympics or World Championships, they all won the championship with a complete victory record, truly establishing the dominance of the American men's basketball team!

But when it comes to Dream Five and Dream Six, the American men's basketball team was pulled down from the altar. Dream Five only achieved sixth place in the World Championships. This is a huge shame for American basketball!

And this shame did not make the US men's basketball team stronger at the 2004 Athens Olympics. Their results in the group stage were embarrassingly only fourth. Although they also won a medal in the end, it was only a bronze medal. !

It can be said that the Dream Team 5 and Dream Team 6 can no longer be regarded as dream teams for American fans. Many fans call these two teams nightmare teams...

It’s no wonder that the fans are too excited. Just imagine if the Chinese table tennis team only gets sixth place or a mere bronze medal in a world competition, I am afraid that the reaction of domestic table tennis fans will be even more excited...

After the humiliation of Dream Five and Dream Six, Dream Team Seven finally worked hard. They formed a team with an extremely luxurious lineup, including the Fengchen Four, Dragon King Bosh, Eagle King Singles Joe, and Captain Brand. , Howard of Warcraft, Hinrich, Jamison, Battier and others...

It stands to reason that with such a lineup, it would be unreasonable to go to the World Championships and not win the championship...

But the result is unreasonable. This time their World Championship results are indeed better than the sixth place in the previous session, but they are only a mere third place!

Three consecutive dream teams ended in embarrassing endings, and Americans couldn't bear it anymore...

Now it's the turn of this Dream Eight team. The NBA has launched an all-out attack, sending out all its top lineups.

The Four Heroes, Mike Reed, Jason Kidd, Bosh, Deron Williams, Prince, Howard, Jazz Boozer, and even the 30-year-old Kobe Bryant were all involved. .

In terms of overall strength, this Dream Team is definitely stronger than the previous three Dream Teams!

It can be seen that whether it is players or fans in the United States, the experience of the previous three humiliating games has reached the point where nothing can be added to it.

It can be said that this Dream Team is the strongest U.S. men’s basketball national team in the past eight years since the 2000 Olympics!

If it was the previous Meng 5 or Meng 6, then Li Tuanjie would have had absolute confidence in leading the Chinese team to win the championship. But now the Meng 8 team is approaching fiercely. Although Li Tuanjie is sure, he is not 100% sure that he can win the Dream 8 team. eight……

At 11:15 in the evening, the match between Iran and the Dream Team began. Li Tuan watched the match attentively.

The strength of the Dream Team is indeed extremely strong. The Iranian team can qualify for the Olympics, so its strength will naturally not be much worse, but in front of the American team, it is powerless.

In just 7 minutes of play, the Mengba team had already taken advantage of the Iranian team's mistakes and scored nearly 30 points.

"How is Unity? Do you have the confidence to win the Dream Team?" Yao Ming also accompanied Li Tuan to watch the game. Sitting next to Li Tuan, seeing how strong the American team was, Yao Ming couldn't help but ask.

"Of course I have confidence, but it also depends on the performance. Our men's basketball team's lineup is still too weak compared to the US team, unless both of us play the full 40 minutes!" Li Tuanjie shook his head with a wry smile. .

On the offensive end, Li Tuanjie is not worried at all. At worst, he will have all the ball rights in his own hands and play singles by himself. The offensive efficiency will definitely be very high!

But the defensive end is a big problem in Li Tuanjie's view. Relying on its own high offensive efficiency, the Dream Team can still achieve super high offensive efficiency against the Chinese men's basketball team with relatively weak defense.

After all, Li Tuanjie is only one person, but his opponent's Dream Team is a luxurious all-star lineup. These top professional players can always find suitable opportunities to take action.

"Then beat him for forty minutes! As long as our men's basketball team can reach the finals, I will definitely fight for my life even if I risk my life!" Yao Ming rarely said harsh words, which made Li Tuanwan laugh. .

If it really comes to the finals, I'm afraid Yao Ming won't be able to play the entire game. How can he expect Tang Zhengdong and other men's basketball substitute centers? That's certainly not realistic.

"Haha, Brother Yao, just wait for the full forty minutes. I can't say anything else, but reaching the finals is not a big problem! In my eyes, except for the Dream Eight team in front of me, other teams The team is not a strong opponent!" Li Tuanjie said with a smile.

"Well, since you said so, I have to take a good rest for the next schedule. To be honest, even though I am only twenty-eight years old now, I feel that my body is really getting worse day by day. "It's too easy to get injured. It seems that all the veterans in the league who are over 35 years old are more durable than me..." Yao Ming said to Li Tuanjie in despair.

For a professional athlete, having a strong body is definitely the most important condition, but now Yao Ming is suffering from major and minor injuries, which makes him very tortured. Yao Ming, who was originally high-spirited, has become a little depressed in the past two years!

Once upon a time, when Yao Ming renewed his first contract with the Rockets, he also had the opportunity to join the Lakers!

At that time, O'Neal had just left the Lakers. The Lakers were preparing to introduce Yao Ming to the Lakers to create a Yao-Ke combination. But at that time, the Rockets announced that McGrady would join the Rockets. Yao Ming thought about it and finally stayed with the Rockets. In his opinion, McGrady and Kobe The two have almost the same strength in the past two years, and their playing styles are also very similar. There is no big difference in who they match up with...

After renewing their contract with the Rockets, Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady formed a very dazzling Yao-Mai combination. At that time, the birth of this combination was favored by countless people, and they all felt that the Rockets were expected to win...

But the final result must be very clear to the fans. Both Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady are suffering from injuries. Although they are on the same team, there are not many opportunities to fight together on the court. Either you are injured or I am injured. , or even two people injured together...

Under this circumstance, it will naturally be difficult for the Rockets to make a further step in the playoffs...

It was okay for a year or two, but now after so many years, Yao Ming has basically lost the confidence to compete for the championship...

"Brother Yao, you have seen my massage skills. Don't worry. If you encounter injury problems in the future, just come to me and I will solve them for you for free!" Li Tuanjie is still very good at treating bone injuries. Confidently, he believes that with his help, Yao Ming's career can be extended for another five years as long as he wants to play, and it will not be a problem at all!

"Haha, why are you so embarrassed? Let's do this. Let me help you advertise. Let me speak for myself. After all, Grant Hill is your teammate. Many people are in a wait-and-see attitude after his words. Now that I come out to stand for you, I'm afraid There are more people who believe it. I dare not say anything about others. Tracy McGrady will definitely come to you as soon as possible! Even if you charge him millions of dollars, as long as he can see the effect, he will definitely not blink an eye. Pay it to you!"

Upon hearing Yao Ming's words, Li Tuan Tuan immediately patted his forehead!

Yes, I have such a money-making artifact in my hand, why have I never thought of using it?

For a professional player, if they spend 10% of their salary to protect their health, they will definitely spend this money happily!

And a top-paid player like McGrady can earn tens of millions of dollars more if he can play at his peak in the league for one more year. Spending 1.8 million U.S. dollars to earn tens of millions of dollars, this deal is unparalleled. What a deal!

One person is worth 1.8 million, and ten people are worth 8 million. It is easy to make money while lying down!

Originally, Li Tuanjie was thinking about using bone-setting skills to attract powerful veterans to join the Bucks, but now that the Bucks are overcrowded, his idea has faded away!

Unexpectedly, after some "guidance" from Yao Ming, Li Tuanjie found a way to earn a lot of extra money!

"I'll go. Thank you very much, Brother Yao. I'll leave this to you!" Li Tuan Tuan was very happy!

At Nike, the contract plus incentive bonuses can probably contribute an income of US$20 million to Li Tuanjie.

Li Tuanjie's player contract is more than 15 million per year.

If the way to treat injuries for stars is opened, then Li Tuanjie can earn at least more than 10 million yuan a year!

With an income of more than 40 million US dollars a year and a small amount of 50 million US dollars, there is no doubt that Li Tuanjie has really made a fortune now...
