I’m Really Playing Basketball

Chapter 838: The enemy is too strong!

This year's World Championships is the first time that Boss Qiao has led the national team to the expedition, but because this is only a mere World Championships, there are not so many superstar players who are recruited.

The players of the US team were not very interested in the World Cup or the World Championships, and then the US team has been losing in international games all these years. If this is the fault, imagine the earliest Pierce, and then imagine two years ago. Oden Leonard Popovich.

If the Olympic Games can still attract them to take the blame, then the World Championships are really unnecessary.

There is no bonus for winning, and if you lose, you will be blamed.

The benefit is completely incompatible with the effort.

But Jordan is Jordan after all. He is now the president of the league and the leader of the Bobcats department. His appeal is still very objective, so this year's US team's World Cup lineup is still very luxurious.

This World Cup is led by former Bobcats star and now Heat star Rose as captain.

Rose, James Harden, Jordan, Westbrook, DeRozan, Devin Booker, Lillard, Harris Barnes, Tatum, Cousins, Lopez, Horford.

This lineup is much stronger than the U.S. team in history for the 2018 World Cup.

Originally, this time Boss Qiao was going to invite his proud apprentice Durant to come out.

However, the Bucks lost to the Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference finals in the playoffs this year, so the Bucks are now all thinking about revenge for the Cavaliers and winning the championship next season. As for the World Cup, Durant is really not interested.

Of course, if Jordan really begged, Durant would have to fight, but Jordan couldn't do that either.

And for Jordan, he is quite confident. He feels that the lineup of the U.S. team in this year's World Cup is luxurious enough.

The team not only has a super giant like Rose.

James Harden, Westbrook, two are the league's new superstars, and the other is the league's triple-double and scoring champions for several consecutive seasons.

In addition, Lillard is also a quasi-superstar who has been famous for many years.

It can be said that this year, the US team is invincible and powerful on the backline.

So much so that he felt that even if he gave a place to his son, Jordan, there would be no problem.

In fact, there are still many perimeter superstars and All-Stars willing to participate in the US team this year, but Jordan finally gave his son Jordan a place.

Jordan's strength and qualifications are naturally eligible to be selected for the US team.

It's just that his style is actually not very suitable for the US team.

After all, have you ever seen the U.S. take a pick-and-roll on a FIBA court?

Can the U.S. team beat those international teams in the pick-and-roll?

Therefore, Jordan's role in the US team is actually very limited.

But it doesn't matter, Boss Joe didn't want Jordan to have any effect, he just wanted to achieve the achievement of father and son on the same team, father and son as members of the American team.

Yes, Jordan and Jordan became the only father and son in the history of the US team to appear in the same US team.

I have to say, this achievement is still a good story.

Of course, for Jordan, in addition to brushing the achievements of his father and son, of course, he also hopes to lead the US team to the championship.

The U.S. team hasn't won a World Series in years.

After winning the championship in 2000, it has been 18 years since 2018.

Seriously, these 18 years can really change a lot of things.

Although the NBA is still the No. 1 league in the world, the American team and American players are really not so powerful.

So much so that thorny international players like Gobert don't have much respect for American players at all.

For these international players, they are watching the Chinese team, Spain, Argentina and other teams beat Captain America.

Therefore, as the head coach of the US team, Jordan felt that it was necessary for him to pick up the prestige of the US team.

The Dream Team of the year was Jordan taking the team to bring the prestige of the Dream Team to its peak. After the Dream Team, the U.S. team became the dream team that everyone feared.

This gave Jordan a very sense of mission.

After Larry Brown, Coach K and Popovich and other super-strong American coaches of different styles failed, Jordan felt that it was God who put the mission in his own hands.

If even he fails, Jordan has no idea when the next rise of Team USA will be.

Of course, although Jordan is looking forward to his performance in this year's World Cup, the US team in this year's World Cup still has great challenges.

The first is the US team's lifelong enemy in the past 18 years. Since 2004, the Chinese team has won four Olympic championships in a row.

The Chinese team can now be said to be strong and strong. The Chinese team's insiders Samsung, Yi Jianlian, Zhou Qi, and Gao Bo have now taken shape.

In the World Cup four years ago, Chen Xiao and Yaoming left, which made the Chinese team a little out of touch. After Yi Jianlian took it hard for four years to get through this crisis, the Chinese team completed its metabolism again.

Now the Chinese team's internal strength can be said to be catching up with the peak moment of the year.

The 34-year-old Yi Jianlian just had the best performance of his career in the NBA last season, leading the Jazz to the Western Conference finals, and he also won the second team.

As for the 23-year-old Zhou Qi, although he failed to gain weight last season, it is relative. His confrontation is stronger and his strength is slowly improving. After winning the best rookie, he also averaged 17+ per game last season. With 9+2 data, his long arms are very effective in the NBA, averaging 2 blocks per game. In the Fiba arena, his long arms are absolutely amazing. In addition to his shooting ability, he is definitely in FIBA. is stronger than in NAB.

And this year's No. 1 draft pick, Gao Bo, is naturally clear about this person, Jordan. After all, he is also a visiting professor at Chen Xiao Basketball University, and he also teaches Gao Bo.

Let's just say, if he had the No. 1 overall pick, he'd pick Gobo too.

Goldberg was 17 years old at the Olympics in 2016, and two years later, he has improved in all aspects, and he is also the kind of player who is very suitable for FIBA.

Under this circumstance, the Chinese team has three such excellent insiders, together with the eldest nephew, Ding Yanyuhang and Hua Zai and other outstanding NBA outside players, as well as the long-handed and long-footed players who grew up in the Chinese team. , the Chinese team has now become the largest enemy of the US team.

Yes, after so many years, the long-handed and high-caliber teenagers selected by the Chinese men's basketball team have grown up.

In the future, the characteristics of the Chinese men's basketball team are that they have long hands, long feet, and high football quotient.

In addition to the Chinese men's basketball team, the old enemy of the US team, Serbia, is also the big enemy of the US team. Let's just say that the current US team is the center and the inside position.

And Serbia has two centers, Milicic and Jokic, who are simply the king of the US team.

In the Olympic Games two years ago, Jokic and Milicic broke down the centers led by Oden and Howard. This time, can Cousins and Big Lopez, two centers with completely different styles, change all this.

Yes, this time Jordan completely changed his team-building style.

Two years ago, Popovich lost so badly because he wanted to show off his tactical system, balance offense and defense, and then win technically and tactically.

But who knows that his own skills and tactics can't beat those tactical masters of FIBA, and then he collapses when he looks back. Because of the pursuit of tactical balance, his lineup has no players who can break the game, can't beat the tactics, and there is no strong player who can change his fate. Only avalanche.

In order to learn from Popovich's lesson, Jordan did not adopt the kind of balanced team building strategy this time, but chose sides.

Jordan feels that the physical quality of NBA players, no matter how bad, is not that bad in FIBA. If it is impossible to prevent it from shrinking in FIBA, there is no need to recruit people for defense.

So, Jordan this time, the 12 people selected are all offensive.

Compared with other FIBA teams, isn't the strength of the US team in its own offense?

He didn't believe that so many offensive players were useless in FIBA.

Rose is useless, James Harden is useless, James Harden is useless, Westbrook is useless, Westbrook is useless and Lillard is useless, Lillard is useless and Devin Booker...

With so many perimeter players with outstanding offensive talent, he couldn't believe it was useless!

It was in such an atmosphere that Joe Boss confidently brought the American team to their loyal South Korea on August 24th.

Yes, this time the World Cup hosts are Japan and South Korea, and the fans of these two countries support the US team.

There is no way, for the Chinese team, the fans of Japan and South Korea really don't like it. It should be said that they are really unbalanced when they watch their old rivals rise to become the strongest in the world.

In this case, since you can't expect your own team to beat the Chinese team at your own home, you can only expect your father.

In addition to the grievances of the family and the country, in fact, Japanese and Korean fans are even more resentful towards Chen Xiao.

In the past ten years, how many high-quality girls from Japan and South Korea have finally gone to him?

It can be said that Chen Xiao is the most hated person by Japanese and Korean fans.

And what made them uncomfortable the most was that no matter how much they hated Chen Xiao, it was useless.

They couldn't even say it, they could only hold back.

Let's talk about Japanese fans. They can guess the relationship between Hashimoto Kanna and Chen Xiao, but can they say it?

Can't say, Hashimoto is their national treasure, they can't destroy their own national treasure.

The relationship between Hashimoto and Chen Xiao is really about to be dug up. Hashimoto's big deal is to quit the circle, and then quit the idol industry to concentrate on basketball, or be raised by Chen Xiao as a canary. Anyway, Chen Xiao, the richest man in the world, is not short of money.

But what can they do?

Therefore, Chen Xiao was really fearless, but they were stubborn, and they could only watch Chen Xiao show in front of them with gnashing teeth, with Hashimoto today and Shiraishi tomorrow.

And according to the recent news, Chen Xiao and Saito Asuka recently had a bit of a mix of honey and oil. In an interview, he was full of praise for Saito.

Saito said that Saito is very smooth and talented in basketball skills.

That said, it really broke their defense.

After Hashimoto devoted half of his energy to the WNBA, the hottest young idol in Japan recently is Saito Asuka.

So, you said how uncomfortable this group of Japanese viewers and netizens are.

Therefore, after Chen Xiao and the Chinese team came to Japan on August 1, they became the public enemy of the whole of Japan. For the average team, it is really stressful to come to Japan to face such a lot of pressure.

But who made the relationship between China and Japan very special, the more the Japanese hate them, the more fighting spirit they have.

In this year's World Cup, the first stage is divided into four groups. Except for the Chinese team's group A, which is in Japan, the other seven groups are in South Korea.

This year's World Cup is divided into eight groups, each with four teams, the top two of the group qualify, and the bottom two enter the qualifying round.

In the second stage, the top two 16 teams will continue to be divided into four groups, and then the top two in the group will advance to the knockout round, and the bottom two in the group will enter the ranking round.

The knockout stage of the third stage is the single-round promotion to the quarter-finals.

In Group A, China is in a group with Japan and Cote d'Ivoire Venezuela.

From this grouping, we can see the careful thinking of the Japanese team.

The strength of the Japanese team is the same now. Chen Xiao has always promoted women's basketball in Japan, while men's basketball still relies on the stage of slam dunk. Therefore, if Japan wants to advance, it needs to look at the other two weak players.

Leaving the Chinese team in Group A is just to make my face look better. After all, look at my big Japan team. I chose one of the strongest opponents in the group. As for the other two who are not so strong, it doesn't matter.

However, it is clear that the Japanese team's careful thinking finally failed.

It can only be said that competitive sports are often not based on these small thoughts. Are these small thoughts useful?

It is certainly useful to be useful, but you need to have the corresponding strength. If you don't have the strength, it is useless to think too much.

Let's talk about the Japanese team this time.

Originally wanted to win Ivory Coast, and then fight Venezuela.

However, in the opening game, the Chinese team frantically beat the Japanese team 130 to 48 and won the Japanese team by 92 points amid the boos of the Japanese fans in the audience. This really broke the defense of the Japanese team.

Why do you say this, because September 2 is the date when Japan officially surrendered in World War II.

In Japan's home court, facing the old enemy of the Chinese team, they lost such a score.

After the game, the Japanese fans who were madly insulting the Chinese team instantly turned their guns and insulted the Japanese players.

Let's just say, the scene was really a bunch of crazy belly cutting sounds.

This crazy momentum even continued to the sidelines and to the Internet.

After a fancy 92 points by the Chinese team, the Japanese team completely lost the support soil in Japan.

Under such circumstances, it is really impossible for the Japanese team to implement their own strategy.

Therefore, the Japanese team, which formulated the strategy of 'letting one game, winning one game, and fighting one game', finally fell to the fourth place in the group and the second stage of qualifying after the final three-game losing streak.

The Chinese team that qualified for the first stage of the group was divided into a group with Russia, Puerto Rico and Italy in the second stage.

In the end, in the second stage, the Chinese team also won all three games very smoothly, and the first place in the group advanced to the quarter-finals.

The Chinese team's opponent in the quarter-finals is none other than the US team.

The Chinese team and the American team met so early. Obviously, since the Chinese team did not lose the chain, then the American team must be hanging the chain.

Yes, in the second stage, the US team lost to Spain in the group stage.

At the end of the game, Boss Joe was blinded.

And Popovich, who watched the game in front of the TV, was secretly relieved.

The failure of FIBA really broke his heart, and he did not feel relieved when he returned to the NBA.

This time, seeing that Jordan also lost, he was a little comforted.

It's not that he is incompetent, it's just that the enemy is too powerful!

Over the years, the U.S. team has really been beaten by all kinds of fancy tricks in FIBA!

It's just Spain, there's France ahead, Serbia, and even...

China!

So, Michael, take a moment of silence. UU reading www.uukanshu. com

The enemy is really too strong.

At this time, Popovich was in a moment of silence for Joe.
