Super Lord of the Rings

Chapter 702 [Silver Medal, Mortal]

The eyes of the whole world are focused on the Olympic Games, the earth is a village, Beijing welcomes you.

The opening ceremony of the Olympic Games makes all Chinese people very proud. It can be regarded as the best in the world in terms of magnificence, majesty, wonder, innovation, foresight and precision, and it will be difficult for any country to surpass it in the future.

The lineup composed of 2008 punt players and the incomparably gorgeous stage effects are unforgettable, and the magnificent poems and pictures will be sung forever. After the magnificent opening ceremony, audiences from all over the world are also full of expectations for the upcoming events.

Yao Ming served as the flag bearer twice in the 2004 and 2008 Olympic Games. Some fans on the Internet expressed dissatisfaction, thinking that Wang Jun was more qualified to be the flag bearer, and his popularity was much higher.

Wang Jun thinks it doesn't matter. Other countries choose the person with the most Olympic champions as the flag bearer, while China obviously looks at the size. The taller person holds the flag with the most momentum.

The momentum is there, and the men's basketball team is still "opening the door", losing 87 to 99 to the American Dream 8 team.

The Chinese men's basketball team played very well on the offensive end. Yao Ming had 24 points, 11 rebounds and 2 assists, Wang Jun had 35 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists, and Yi Jianlian had 14 points and 8 rebounds.

Helplessly, the US team has a better offense and has too many stars.

Center: Dwight Howard, Chris Bosh. The two have height, rebounds, strong mobility against the outside line, and can also interfere with shooting against the inside line.

Power forwards: Carmelo Anthony, Carlos Boozer. Both can shoot mid-range to open up space, and Boozer is also good at low-post footwork and attacking the basket.

Small forwards: LeBron James, Tayshaun Prince. One is omnipotent and the other is good at keeping.

Shooting guards: Dwyane Wade, Kobe Bryant, Michael Reid. Even Reed, the least famous of the three, is an excellent shooter who can help the team, and he can also play small forward.

Point guard: Chris Paul, Deron Williams, Jason Kidd. With two hot young guards plus experienced Kidd, breakthrough, organization, and strength are all missing.

The United States has not lost in the game when Kidd joined the national team. Dream 8 quickly continued this record and won all the group matches.

The Chinese team also performed well, losing only one game to the United States, beating Spain, Greece, Germany, and Angola, and advanced to the second place in the group with 4 wins and 1 loss.

The lineup of the Chinese team restrains Spain to a certain extent, and the inside line can compete.

Peripheral Wang Jun completely blasted Navarro and Fernandez.

Calderon did not take advantage of Liu Wei this time. And the young point guard Rubio, known as the "Spanish Golden Boy", is just a person who knows how to organize, does not shoot, and may miss the layup, so there is nothing to fear.

When fighting Germany, Yao Ming abused Wang Jun's buddy Kaman.

Kaman's grandmother is a German. He is an American but missed the US team. He was invited by Germany to join the German team to play in the Olympics.

He wanted to prove himself in the international arena, but he ended up in the death group, with no one to deal with except Angola.

The personal abilities of Kaman and Nowitzki can't make up for the lack of overall strength. To win, it is not enough to have a passion.

The way the Chinese team wins is mainly through the combination of inside and outside. Yao Ming plays in the low post and Wang Jun plays on the outside. Both have advantages in singles, and the opponents are not easy to defend.

Yi Jianlian was in the high pick-and-roll, waiting for the opportunity to make a mid-range shot. Wang Zhizhi came off the bench for the same purpose. The other two ran around the perimeter looking for opportunities to shoot three-pointers.

This tactical offense has a clear sense of hierarchy, and other teams have already seen it in 2006. If it weren't for Wang Jun's great advantage in single-handedly playing against the periphery, China would have struggled to beat Greece and Spain.

In the quarterfinals, the Chinese team defeated Croatia 93 to 68.

Wang Jun scored 43 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists, blowing up Zoran Planinic, who was used by the Nets in exchange for him in 2003.

Poor Zoran has been far away from the NBA, but he still hasn't been able to get rid of Wang Jun's shadow.

In the semi-finals, the Chinese team defeated Spain again with 101 to 95 difficulties. Navarro is about to be abused out of the shadows. He returned to Europe after playing for the Grizzlies for one season, and his confrontation ability is too poor.

If Navarro is not allowed to play, Spain will have one less super three-pointer.

Gasol is the first choice to defend Yao Ming. As soon as Yao Ming goes out to pick and roll, he is played by Wang Jun, and he is a little helpless. As a fat standing center, his movement speed is flawed.

Spain could only double-team Wang Jun and shoot from the outside. The Chinese team had many shooters and scored a lot of open balls. They had the last laugh.

The United States defeated Argentina 101 to 81 to advance smoothly, and the top two in Group B met again in the finals.

The Chinese team played well in the first half of the final, leading by 5 points.

In the second half, Yao Ming's physical strength dropped sharply. The US team's offense was too strong. James and Wade were hard to defend against. Wang Jun could only manage one and couldn't stand it anymore.

Kobe, James, Prince, and Wade went all out to defend Wang Jun, making it difficult for him to get rid of, and there were no open shots from the beginning to the end.

The Chinese team scored 89 points in the end, and Dream 8 scored 113 points without a solution to attack, thus defeating the hosts and regaining the championship a few years later.

The opponent can't defend against a breakthrough, and the old coach K's combination of internal and external tactics is also very clear.

Wang Jun scored 28 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists in the final game. Yao Ming scored 26 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks. Yi Jianlian also scored 17 points.

After the game, Wang Jun averaged 31.2 points per game and became the scoring leader in the competition. Together with Yao Ming, he was selected into the best team and led the team to win a silver medal.

The performance of the men's basketball team is not bad, but there are still many fans who are dissatisfied. Even in 2006, the men's basketball team failed to beat the U.S. team. It was only lucky to meet Greece in the final to win the championship.

People's appetite is always getting bigger and bigger, and the audience is no exception. After winning the World Championships, they don't think highly of the runner-up. This situation is not limited to basketball.

The defending hurdler champion Liu Xiang withdrew from the competition on the spot due to a recurrence of his right Achilles tendon injury and missed the chance to defend his title. Later, at an urgent press conference, Sun Haiping, Liu Xiang's master, hid his face and cried bitterly. Liu Xiang also apologized, but he was still abused on the Internet, and various conspiracy theories flew out together.

At least the men's basketball team didn't get scolded, they tried their best.

The most depressing thing is that a group of new officials from the Basketball Association headed by Director Zhang, who only took the runner-up to get different achievements, received less attention, and failed to fully achieve the goal of gilding.

Before the start of the finals, Director Zhang held a mobilization meeting to do ideological work on the players. He jumped up and down more actively than the coaching staff, but no matter how much he mobilized, he couldn't turn the national team into a group of stars. It still depends on those few people.

The situation of the Basketball Association is much better than that of the Football Association. As the host, it is rare for Chinese football to play an international match. The only thing that people remember is against Belgium.

The media from various countries reported the results and praised the stars of the US team, saying that they played perfect team basketball and returned to the top of the world.

At the same time, some media laughed and said: "Wang Jun finally let people down once, and he became a mortal again."

The Beijing Olympics ended successfully. Wang Jun stayed in China for a few days, participated in several interview programs, looked forward to the future, and commented on several teammates of the national team.

He only won the runner-up, he was not in the mood to play in the country, and returned to the United States after the entertainment.

Time flies, and after another month of rest, he will start a new journey. (To be continued.)
