The Strongest Bishop in the NBA

The opening ceremony of the Rio Olympics will be held on August 5, 2016, and Wang Xiao and Hao Peng will return to China to report on June 27.

In other words, there is only one month left for the Huaxia men's basketball team to train.

After Wang Xiao returned to China, he immediately convened a meeting with the coaching staff to make an overall plan and detailed formulation for this month.

First of all, the two weeks from June 28th to July 11th are the training time for the team, which mainly focuses on the tacit understanding, coordination and tactical running of the players.

In the two weeks from July 12th to July 26th, 5 to 8 warm-up matches will be arranged to deepen the players' running-in through match confrontation, and at the same time look for defects in the lineup.

July 27th to August 3rd will be the last week. This week, players will only be arranged for the most basic training to maintain their state. At the same time, they will be arranged to watch game videos, analyze the technical characteristics and targeted play styles of opponents in the group stage, and check Fill in the gaps.

From the time point of view, this arrangement is a little tight. After all, there are only 5 to 8 warm-up matches, which is not enough for many assistant coaches.

In fact, in another time and space, before the Rio Olympics, the Huaxia men's basketball team had a total of 19 warm-up matches in the summer, with 10 wins and 9 losses. The quality of the opponents in the warm-up matches was also uneven. , There are also teams formed by small Asian countries with extremely low standards.

In Wang Xiao’s opinion, such an arrangement is of little significance. The purpose of the warm-up match is to help the players warm up, adjust the game state, and get familiar with the rhythm of the game. It is not for practice. The game will affect the confidence of the players, but the loss outweighs the gain.

For example, the American Dream Team usually arranges a few warm-up matches, and more often they still conduct training within the team.

As for the opponents in the warm-up match, the Basketball Association gave a big list, including the US team and some European teams.

Without even thinking about it, Wang Xiao excluded the US team first.

In Wang Xiao's vision, the only opponent in this Olympic Games is the American men's basketball team. In terms of overall strength, even if Wang Xiao has been strategizing for so long, the Huaxia men's basketball team is still weaker than the American men's basketball team. To win by surprise, Wang Xiao didn't want to reveal too much information about himself to the opponent during the warm-up match.

Even if the current main lineup of the Huaxia Men's Basketball Team is basically playing in the NBA, the American Men's Basketball Team already knows the basics, but it is impossible for the American Men's Basketball Team to judge what kind of chemical reaction they will have when they get together.

In the earlier group draw, the Huaxia men's basketball team, like another time and space history, was assigned to Group A of the death group. In Group A, there was the world's dominant American team, Australia, France, and Serbia. In the Rio Olympics, the US team, Australia and Serbia all entered the semi-finals, and only one team from Spain entered the semi-finals in Group B.

Being assigned to such a group is a little unfavorable to the Huaxia men's basketball team, but in Wang Xiao's opinion, there is no big problem in qualifying for the group.

Fans throughout Huaxia are also looking forward to the performance of the Huaxia men's basketball team in this Olympic Games. After all, the current Huaxia men's basketball team has the most luxurious lineup in history, and at the same time has the NBA's strongest head coach Wang Xiao. can get a good grade.

Some optimistic fans even think that the Huaxia men's basketball team may hit the medal table.

Of course, even they don't think that the Huaxia men's basketball team has a chance to win the championship. They are more inclined to win a bronze medal or even a silver medal for the men's basketball team. After all, in their opinion, apart from the US team, other countries Even the current Chinese men's basketball team may not be able to win for sure.

...

The two-week training camp has begun.

The first thing Wang Xiao started was the team's main tactical training.

In fact, as long as you take a look at the main lineup of the Huaxia Men's Basketball Team, you will know how this team should play.

Point guard Jeremy Lin, shooting guard Cheng Jie, small forward Wang Meng, power forward Yi Jianlian, and center Hao Peng.

The strongest of these five players is naturally Jeremy Lin, who has entered the best team and best defensive team for several consecutive years. He will be the core of the Huaxia men's basketball team.

The inside core is naturally Hao Peng who used David Robinson's growth template card.

The current Hao Peng is far from growing to the level of David Robinson's peak period, but even so, in the absence of powerful centers, Hao Peng's inside lethality is unmatched.

Wang Xiao knows the roster of the U.S. men's basketball team. Of course, he also knows that in this Olympic Games, the insiders of the U.S. men's basketball team are only DeMarcus Cousins ​​and Dunn. The men's basketball team can think of the best inside match, and without exception, these two people are not Hao Peng's opponents.

USA Basketball's 12-man roster for the Rio Olympics is: LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Carmelo Anthony, Paul George, Kyle Lowry, DeMarcus Cousins , Jimmy Butler, Dunn, Jamal DeRozan, Klay Thompson, Damian Lillard and Kyrie Irving.

The participation of James and Lillard surprised Wang Xiao, because in another time and space, both of them made it clear that they would not participate in the Rio Olympics.

But when you think about it carefully, it makes sense.

Wang Xiao didn't know why Lillard chose to participate, but it was not surprising that James participated. After all, this is a very shrewd player who knows how to guarantee his own value.

In another original time and space, James had just won his third championship at this time, and he won it by defeating the 73-win Warriors in the finals. There is no doubt that he has reached the pinnacle of his life. Is there any Olympic gold medal for him? Doesn't have much of an impact.

But in this time and space, James' situation is a bit bad. Although he won an O'Brien Cup last year, it was the only championship in his entire career. James only participated in it to add to his honor. After the Olympics, I want to add another Olympic gold medal.

...

There is no doubt that the addition of James and Lillard is far more difficult to deal with than Harrison Barnes and Draymond Green who should have participated in the competition, but even so, this is the most important part of the American Dream Team in recent years. The weakest year overall.

Curry, Harden, Westbrook, Paul and other super first-line guards have announced their retirement, so that the American Dream Team can only send Irving, Lillard and Lowry at the position of point guard, and there is also Griffin on the inside. Aldridge, Love, Davis and others announced their retirement.

Although the U.S. men's basketball team still has James and Durant, two top superstars, this is already the best opportunity for Wang Xiao and the Huaxia men's basketball team!
