Chapter 362 The Opening of the Olympics and the Men's Basketball Premiere
2008年8月8日晚上8时整，第29届奥林匹克运动会在华国的京城国家体育场“鸟巢”正式拉开序幕。

This is an Olympic Games destined to be recorded in the annals of history. The opening ceremony was led by Zhang Yimou, a famous Chinese director. There were more than 9 spectators and the heads of state and dignitaries of many countries participated in the scene. Under their joint witness, the opening ceremony changed It became a grand performance.

First, 2008 staff members hit the luminous fou, which will emit light every time it is struck, forming Chinese and Arabic numbers, and counting down the opening seconds.

Then, from Yongdingmen to the main venue, 29 fireworks in the shape of footprints were continuously released along the central axis of BJ City, symbolizing "the 29th Olympic Games step by step into BJ", and the opening ceremony officially started.

At 20:12, all stood up, played the national anthem and raised the national flag, followed by a cultural performance called "Beautiful Olympics". The first part showed the four great inventions, writing and other Chinese history; the second part showed the prosperity of our country since the reform and opening up scene.

Just like "A Picture of Shanghe on the Qingming Festival", and like a time travel machine, the magnificence and majesty made every audience on the scene and in front of the TV can't help but admire.

Then there was the theme song "You and Me" which had a meaning but Li Chengming thought it was ugly. In fact, he thought that the other promotional songs were better than this one, but he didn't understand and didn't talk too much about this kind of promotion.

Then came the athlete delegations from various countries. According to the usual practice, the delegation from Greece, the birthplace of the Olympics, entered the stadium first, followed by Guinea and other countries.

The host came in at the end, Dayao served as the Olympic flag bearer this time, and a child standing next to him was also a chess player. The cutest height difference between the two was quite interesting.

Of course, if you know the story behind the scenes, you won't feel strange about this scene.

This child's name is Lin Hao. He is only nine years old this year, but he was a little hero in disaster relief during the previous earthquake. It is obviously of great significance to let him play at this special moment.

We have had a rough year, but now is our moment of glory, witnessed by more than 40 billion people around the world.

Li Chengming is also in the back row. This time the national team's delegation consists of 1099 people, including 639 athletes. The scale exceeds the previous ones in history. This may also be an advantage of the host.

Afterwards, IOC President Jacques Rogge delivered a speech at the opening ceremony, and then... the opening ceremony ended, and the Olympic Games officially began.

Starting today and lasting for more than two weeks, there will be as many as 28 major events and 302 minor events in seven cities.

On the second day and the first competition day, Pang Wei, the men's 10-meter air rifle, won the first gold medal of the Hua Guo team in this Olympic Games, making a good start.

The men's basketball game is on the second match day, that is, on August 8, at 10:22 in the evening, the Huaguo men's basketball team will play against the US team.

This schedule immediately ignited the enthusiasm of domestic fans to watch the game. The main reason is that after several preparations before, this national team has been regarded as the strongest in the history of men's basketball, and the results of the Dream Eight team have also been red all the way. , which has to be treated with caution.

Although the US team lost in the last Olympics and the last World Championships, their strong impression has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, especially the existence of the NBA, which makes people feel that they have the ability to come back at any time.

In the Olympic Basketball Stadium, all 1.8 seats were fully occupied, and the crowd was already buzzing before the game started.

At this point, some people are usually ready to go to bed, but at this time, many people, including those in front of the TV, can't fall asleep, so they have to watch this game.

Even for other countries, the first appearance of the US team in the Olympics, and the debut of the Huaguo men's basketball team, which has just won the NBA championship, joined the national team for the first time. It is not too much to say that it has attracted worldwide attention!
The scene even ushered in the two former presidents of the United States, Bush Sr. and Bush Jr., as well as former Secretary of State Kissinger, not to mention other dignitaries and scouts from other national teams.

The game will be broadcast live on CCTV5, with Director Zhang and Sun Zhengping commenting on the spot.

Director Zhang listened to the cheers that sounded in his ears from time to time, and couldn't help sighing: "You can feel everyone's enthusiasm before the game starts. Many people have been looking forward to this game for a long time."

"And I have to say, Kobe's popularity is really high, he can compete with us Dayao and Li Chengming..."

Not only was there a fight, the cheers even exceeded a lot.

This is actually understandable. Most of the people who support Dayao and Li Chengming now may still be out of simple patriotism, so supporting their own people may not even know how to play basketball.

And Kobe's playing is both beautiful and practical, and many people can learn it-even blacksmithing, isn't that just a lot of "real fans".

In fact, when the group came out before, everyone was looking forward to this game.

The Huaguo men's basketball team can be said to be in a "death group" this time, because the US team and the Spanish team, which are currently considered to be the world's number one and the world's second, are in this group. In addition to facing the last one, Germany and Angola may overturn.

Of course, this is compared to the past situation.

Now that there are more Li Chengmings, it's hard to say what Li Chengming can do. Of course, everyone has no idea.

In addition to the game against the US team, there is also the game against Spain. Even if they win the other three teams, it is hard to say against the other two.

Fortunately, they only need to be in the top four to qualify, but if the position is not good, the next eighth match will be against the top two teams in Group A, and the situation is still not good.

Sun Zhengping said: "The first men's basketball game of this Olympic Games ushered in the biggest challenge, they will face the world basketball hegemony Team USA.

"This year's U.S. team has an unprecedentedly strong lineup, and it feels a bit like coming to our place to smash the field. Of course, it can also be said that in view of the previous defeats in the 04 Athens Olympics and the 06 World Championships, this time for Yimeng For the well-known US men's basketball team, there is nothing to lose.

"Actually, before the start of the NBA season, Li Chengming followed Howard and had contact with these guys from the American men's basketball team. After that, he also played against each other one by one during the season. He should know how good they are..."

Apart from other things, when it comes to insiders, other countries have their own strengths and weaknesses. For example, Dirk Nowitzki of Germany, Pau Gasol of Spain, Dayao and Li Chengming of Huaguo are all in the NBA. The star-level insiders, except for Li Chengming, a rookie, have also proved themselves in international competitions.

But in terms of perimeter and front line, the United States is definitely the best in the world.

Kobe, who is the number one guard in active service, and James, who is the number one striker, Wade, Kidd, Paul, Anthony, Deron, etc., are equipped at the All-Star level. There will not be any outside lineup of the men's basketball team in this world. so luxurious.

On the contrary, in terms of interior, this time the United States did not send the best group, Bosh, Howard, Boozer, and even Howard was the only one in the serious fifth position.

This actually gave the Huaguo men's basketball team a chance, it depends on whether they can seize it.

Soon the game officially started, and the people who jumped the ball on both sides were UAE and Howard.

Warcraft did their part to help the team grab the first wave of possession. Li Chengming stepped forward and patted Ah Lian on the shoulder, and then the men's basketball team retreated quickly.

The starting lineup for the US team is Kidd, Kobe, James, Anthony and Howard.

As for the Huaguo men's basketball team, the starting positions are Liu Wei, Sun Dasheng, Li Chengming, Ah Lian and Dayao. This configuration is somewhat similar to the Magic's lineup. They are all low-profile versions.

The strategy of the American team is also obvious. They are not completely without tactics. Compared with the lineup of the Huaguo men's basketball team, their biggest advantage is the outside line and physical fitness, so they speed up and play fast when they come up.

However, as soon as James caught the ball at the basket, he was disturbed by Dayao's pincer attack. Speaking of which, Dayao was not only Howard's troublemaker, but also James' troublemaker. Anyway, James couldn't get cheap against him.

The simplest reason is that James' shooting is not good, he can only break through, and in the international arena, there are not many restrictions on the inside, and a big center can directly kill James.

This time James wanted to pass the ball but made a mistake. Li Chengming served in the backcourt and handed it to Ah Lian, and Ah Lian handed it to Sun Dasheng.

Sun Dasheng seemed to have good confidence. He was not afraid of facing his future team boss Kobe.

As a result, the next scene that no one expected appeared. Yao actually bounced out of the three-point line immediately after blocking the man, and Sun Dasheng's pass was also obtained. Facing the open space, Yao actually shot directly from the three-point line.

brush!
"Dayao and Xiao Sun made a pick-and-roll. Yao received the ball from the outside and made a direct shot? He made a direct shot-but scored! Yao came up and scored a three-pointer, a good shot!"

wow——

"Ah ah ah ah..."

The arena suddenly shouted to the top, and this scene was simply adrenaline-fueled.

It looks like an unpretentious three-pointer, but it is amazing because it was shot by Dayao.

This goal not only scored, but also showed Dayao's determination in this game, and also showed the extraordinary mental outlook of the men's basketball team in this game.

The stars of the Dream Eight team were also very surprised. After all, they had all played against Dayao before, and they didn't expect him to play such a sudden game.

But they haven't seen any scenes. The dream team lost the championship, and the Olympic World Championships even won the bronze medal. What is this little scene?
Kidd took the ball from the front court and handed it to James. James suddenly scored to Anthony at a 45-degree angle on the left. Anthony missed a three-pointer. Liu Wei.

The offense in the first round is not the main rhythm of this men's basketball team, and the American team retreated too quickly and couldn't find a fast break opportunity, so they fell into the position next, just like in the Magic team. Li Chengming's singles on the weak side and low post.

At this time, he was facing Anthony. For Li Chengming, this matchup was no different from dislocation.

Anthony once had a bright moment with James, but now Wade has won the championship and FMVP, and James has also reached the finals, but his 03 No. [-] pick has not achieved anything.

This has a lot to do with his personality, including defense. He belongs to the kind of attitude problem that is greater than ability problem.

Just like it is now, Li Chengming felt that he didn't use any strength at all when he was crushed in. Instead, James on the other side saw the opportunity and wanted to come to help defend.

But Li Chengming didn't go any further, but turned around and made a jumper.

Although I haven't played a game for a long time, my hands were a little hard when I first came up, but the ball obediently fell into the basket by hitting the board.

At the same time, the referee's whistle blew. Anthony didn't use his strength when he should, and stepped forward when he shouldn't. As a result, he hit Li Chengming's hand and lost a foul.

With Li Chengming's current shooting speed, no matter how good his physical fitness is and how fast his bullets are, it is difficult to interfere with him before he makes a shot.

Howard has a deep understanding of this, so he started shaking his head when he watched Li Chengming make a shot.

Li Chengming went to the free throw line and added penalties. The men's basketball team beat Mengbayi 6:0 at the start.

Director Zhang couldn't help but excitedly said: "The men's basketball team came up and beat the US team 6-0. Both Li Chengming and Dayao scored 3 points each. I think the US team underestimated our frontcourt combination too much." .If the defense is still like this, Li Chengming may get 30+ in this game!"

　To be honest, I am also very excited to watch this game again, and I miss the hard-working men's basketball team at that time...
