NBA: Start by torturing Jordan and add points to upgrade

Chapter 326 Brothers are walking around! Team up and go to Sydney to watch Lin get beaten!

For example, TNT, which has always liked to cause trouble, immediately noticed Lin Tian's three consecutive KOs in the Olympic qualifying matches, killing everyone.

Their approach is surprisingly consistent with that of China Sports Station.

While playing the highlights of Lin Tian's KO of his opponent in the qualifying round, it also replayed the scenes of Lin Tian's fight against Malone, Kemp and others in the NBA.

Well...the brothers were hurt again!
This time in front of the elders in my hometown!

So depressed! Very depressing!
The most depressed person right now is probably Malone, who is on vacation in Los Angeles.

He has really had a bad time these past two years!
When the season just ended, Mourning felt a little uncomfortable. Under Payton's persuasion, he decided to have a comprehensive physical examination on himself.

And then?
There is no more.

I'm afraid there won't be Mourning in the future NBA games!

The NBA's number one tough guy in the 90s was diagnosed with severe kidney disease and required a lot of treatment to recover.

There are four pure insiders in total, and this is the lineup that Tomjanovich finally put together after going through the player list!
This list can also make people see: the US team's insiders are beginning to wither!

But if Lin Tian knew about it, he would definitely feel that the gears of fate were turning more and more chaotic.

After all, he was just reborn, and he was not Trunks with a special medicine that could give Moning a medicine to save his kidney disease.

Because except for Garnett, the other three are either old, young or just useless, and none of them entered the All-Star Game last season!
And when there is a shortage of major generals inside, Tomjanovich's way of inviting outside players to join the team is also very difficult!

The only person who can be called a top insider and is willing to join the Dream Team is Kevin Garnett!
The rest of the All-Star level insiders are old, running, and injured, and they all refused.

"Karl, my boss is Michael, Michael Jordan! He wants you to go sit in the private room." After a slight hesitation, the bodyguard who sent the message continued to extend the invitation to Malone.

Is it young Garnett? Or Payton, who has the highest status but has passed his peak? Or maybe Jason Kidd?

For Malone, without Mourning in Miami, there is no meaning for him to continue to stay in Miami.

The worst dream team in history, a dream team that doesn’t deserve to be called a dream team, a third-rate team composed of ordinary players.
The Olympic Games haven't even started yet, and all kinds of doubts and denunciations have already swept through the entire public opinion circle. Everyone is very unfavorable about the prospects of this dream team!
After all, the level of world basketball is getting higher and higher now. The days in the 90s when just 12 people could defeat the whole world are gone!
Everyone is really worried about this dream team!

Trail Blazers' high guard Steve Smith, sharpshooter Ray Allen, 'Central Shooting King' Alan Houston, 'Beatle' Tim Hardaway, 'Glove' Gary Payton, Jason Kidd, 'Scalpel' Doug Christie, and Eddie Jones!
Coupled with the four insiders just now, these twelve players form a new dream team!
After the 12-man roster of the Dream Team was released, both the media and fans raised the same doubts.

In the end, the inside staff of the Dream Four team became led by Garnett, supplemented by Vin Baker, who was past his peak and overweight, and the Grizzlies' scoring expert Sharif Abdur-Rahim, as well as the Nuggets. Team's Antonio McDyess.

As for David Robinson, this guy said he was exhausted and his back injury had recurred a bit, so he also rejected Tomjanovich.

After a series of painful rejections, Tomjanovich finally put together a lineup that he was personally satisfied with.

Mourning's next season and even his entire career have basically been written off in advance!
Lin Tian doesn't know about this for the time being. If he knows, well, there's nothing he can do.

He feels that he is really the shabbiest, most pitiful coach with the smallest choice in the history of the Dream Team.

Originally he wanted to invite Carter, who had just won the championship, but Carter told him that he had suffered a slight injury in the finals and needed a good rest, so he was unable to participate.

"Michael? Is this bastard here too?" Malone looked back with some vigilance and did not find Jordan. However, after thinking about it, he felt that there was no danger. Although he had a normal relationship with Jordan, he did not have any deep hatred and would not go into trouble. After entering the private room, someone put a sack over his head and beat him, so there was no harm in going to see him.

But obviously, these people don’t look alike!

None of the guys with the strongest offensive power and whom Tomjanovich was most optimistic about came!
This time, Tomjanovich really wanted to curse! He even wants to break his championship heart and give it to these guys, and then let them go to fight for the country!

Tomjanovich can only lower the standards again and find people who are no longer All-Stars or have huge flaws to play games.

Gone!

This time, everyone is bad enough, and there is no superstar who can really dominate the team!
This year’s dream team is terrible!

The two major centers O'Neal and Mourning were both absent. Tomjanovich's plan was immediately disrupted. He could only find other people to replace him immediately. He first went to the Spurs' twin towers, but Duncan's injury He has not recovered, and this summer is his contract year, so he simply refused.

In the years to come, let alone playing basketball, it is already a luxury to hope for himself to be healthy and live a long life!

"Karl, my boss said he wants to invite you to sit in his private room." Just as Malone was sitting there drinking and relaxing alone in a bar in Los Angeles, a guy walked up behind Malone and extended an invitation to him. .

Malone here has a headache about what choice he should make this summer, while on the other side, Rudy Tomjanovich, the head coach of this year's Dream Team 4, is even more worried!
This year’s dream team lineup is really difficult to come up with!
First, O'Neal and Kobe, two guys he was very optimistic about and good partners, rejected the Dream Team. O'Neal said he wanted to practice free throws, and Kobe said he wanted to practice defense. Both of them obviously felt that they had made great progress by training at home. It’s more than competing in the Olympics.

"No interest, get lost!" Ma Long was thinking about what he should do in the summer. How could he be in the mood to meet his boss? He immediately issued an eviction order.

Then, although Mourning promised that Tomjanovich would join the team, he turned around and was diagnosed with kidney disease. Naturally, he was unable to play in the Olympics.

But he looked for several people in succession, but all failed.

Should he sign another one-year contract in another place and continue to compete for the championship, or should he simply return to Salt Lake City and become his own local emperor?

Then Tomjanovich tried to find Iverson again, but couldn't find him! Who knows where the unruly kid on the court has gone. Then Marbury also expressed no interest in this year's Olympics and rejected him.

Finally, it was Kobe Bryant who rejected him outright along with O'Neal.

The first time was in Barcelona's Dream Team in 1992. Everyone in that team was equally strong, and everyone was a big boss. There was no clear core or boss, so forget it. Anyway, it would be easy to get a level A all the way. Win the championship.

After the diagnosis, Mourning was really in pain. Of course, a person like him would not be willing to retire or stay away from the professional arena! He vowed to return to the court and win the championship!
But no matter how much he swears and becomes ruthless, kidney disease will take a long time to recover. For example, he originally promised to join this year's Dream Team 4 to play in the Olympics, but now, he is obviously unable to participate!

Now Malone is very entangled, he doesn't know what choice he should make.

Because in Lin Tian's memory, Mourning's kidney disease should have been diagnosed in October, but now it was diagnosed almost four months in advance.

When Tomjanovich's top four candidates are unable to play in the Olympics, he can only take a step back and find players who are young or past their prime to play in the Olympics.

But what about this time?

In a sense, there is no such thing as a clear top player, and this is only the second time in the history of the Dream Team that this has happened.

What a shame!
A bad year!

Is our dream team already so bad?
There is not even a true superstar among this group of people! Many people have looked through the team list and don't know who the top player on this team is.

After following the bodyguard all the way to the box where Jordan was, Malone pushed open the door and saw an unforgivable scene!
He saw the two bastards Barkley and Jordan at first glance, and then he saw these two bastards each wearing a ring on their hands, a championship ring!
These two bastards were holding the ring and shaking it at the light with evil smiles on their faces. Ma Long was extremely annoyed and disgusted by the flashing reflection on the ring.

He could tell at a glance that these two bastards were wearing championship rings!
It's so sick. Who is a good person who goes out to nightclubs and wears championship rings?

"FUXX! You two damn bastards, go to hell!" Ma Long cursed, then turned around and wanted to leave! He has no interest in having fun while being dragged down by these bastards!
What's so great, isn't it just having a few championship rings? What the hell! I'm not surprised at all!
But as soon as Malone turned around, he bumped into a huge figure.

"Yo Karl, what are you doing here? Why don't you go in? Could it be that your championship ring is dirty too? I just went to the bathroom to wash my championship ring." Ewing's voice came. It's all about schadenfreude and showing off.

Hey, I have a ring, you don’t!
"Have you finished riding the horse? I just want to have a few sips of wine! Can you get out?" Ma Long was completely furious at this moment, looking at several people angrily, as if he was ready to take action at any time.

After all, he and these guys are not friends!

Well, except for Stockton, he really doesn't have many friends in the league.

"I advise you not to touch Carl. There is someone here you can't afford to offend." Jordan smiled and said: "Come, meet the legend of Los Angeles and the overlord of the boxing ring, Mike! Mike Tyson !”

As soon as Jordan said this, Malone noticed that the silent guy sitting next to Jordan was actually Tyson!

How did these bastards get together?

"Come on, Karl, sit down!" Jordan patted the seat next to him with a smile and said, "We are studying some very interesting things."

"Interesting stuff?" Malone still stood there without moving, but Ewing behind him became impatient and grabbed his neck without any explanation and walked inside.

"If you don't want to go in, why don't you block the way! I'm still going in!"

After being pinched by Ewing, Malone stopped being arrogant. He sat there and said, "I only give you 3 minutes."

"Karl." Jordan smiled and shook his head, but said completely calmly: "I'm here to find you. I really have something good to tell you: Lin is going to play in the Olympics."

"You still need to tell me such a stupid thing?" Ma Long rolled his eyes, full of impatience.

"I'm talking about the Olympic boxing match, not the basketball match!" Jordan said: "This guy actually wants to fight in the super heavyweight category of over 91 kilograms! Do you know what this means?"

"Meaning, there will be many bastards who can beat him for us?" Malone snorted.

"Not bad! And it's fair and aboveboard, give Lin a good beating in the ring!" Jordan said with a smile: "This kind of opportunity is rare! Lin has no one in the league who can beat him!" But now someone is willing to beat him for us, are you sure you don’t want to go to the scene and take a look? "

Jordan paused every word, and his words were full of charm.

This is to seduce Malone!

Seduce Ma Long and watch Lin Tian get beaten!
"Do you want to go see it?"

"I'll go!" Jordan nodded without hesitation: "But I think it's pointless for me to go alone, so I gathered all the guys together. We can go together! Let's watch Lin get beaten together!"

"At that time, we will sit in the field and watch him being beaten and KOed. Then, prepare the DV and take pictures of his most embarrassing scenes! Hahaha, what about Karl, am I a good friend? "

"Well, although we are not friends, I'm sure you are interested in my proposal!"

"Interested!" Ma Long nodded quickly, then looked at a few people and said: "But have you ever thought that Lin is so good at fighting, he probably doesn't go to get beaten, but to beat people? What if in the Olympics? No one is his opponent, so we will be laughed at by him!"

"I thought about it, so I called Mike! Mike, tell me what you think!" Jordan smiled and patted Tyson next to him. Malone then understood that Tyson was here to be a fighting consultant and analyze for them. Olympic Games prospects?
"I have to say that Lin is a super fighting genius. His style, boxing skills, defense and footwork are all perfect! This is because he plays basketball as his main job and boxing as a side job." Tyson first gave Lin Tian After a very high evaluation, he continued: "But in my opinion, they are all flaws!"

"I watched the videos of his three games. Lin's offense is very ferocious, but too ferocious. Whenever he faces a slightly more powerful guy, the result will be completely different!"

"After Lin finishes his strong attack in one breath, as long as he cannot kill his opponent, his physical strength will decline rapidly, he will enter a bottleneck, and his opponent will seize the opportunity to beat him!"

"But in the Olympics, they are all amateur boxers. Mike, do you think anyone in the Olympics can stop him? They won't be as vulnerable as the opponents in the qualifying rounds, right?"

"There will be someone who can stop him." Tyson nodded without hesitation: "It's true that professional boxers are not allowed to participate in the Olympics, but don't forget that many top boxing champions have fought in the Olympics! "

"Lewis, Harrison, Riddick, Muhambo, Muller. These guys all came from the Olympics. After playing in the Olympics, they turned professional and played quite well!"

"The top players in the Olympics are no less than those in these leagues in the United States! It's just that they have chosen another path with less exposure."

"So what you are saying is that there is a high probability that Lin will be beaten up?" Poor Malone, now he always looks cautious when encountering anything related to Lin Tian. It is obvious that he was beaten by Lin Tian. I'm so scared!

"Almost 100%!" Tyson said resolutely: "He will encounter obstacles and be defeated! Unless this kid changes to a more stable style of play, or the level of the Olympic Games drops rapidly and the participants are all waste, otherwise , He will definitely be killed!"

"If this kid fights in the 91kg heavyweight class instead of the 91kg-plus super heavyweight class, I'm not so sure, but is he going to challenge those 90kg beasts with a weight of just over 120kg?"

"He's just looking for death!"

When Tyson said this, Jordan clapped his hands excitedly and said, "Well, Mike has given us a guarantee. Now, who wants to go to Sydney with me to watch Lin get beaten for making a fool of himself?"

"I will definitely go!" Barkley said with a smirk: "We can even meet Lin Tian after we get to the boxing ring and give him a big surprise!"

"I'll go too." Ewing always likes to join in the fun, and he will never let go of this opportunity.

"Then I'll go too!" After Ma Long thought for a while, he felt that staying here alone would give him a headache anyway, and it was too annoying. It would be better for a group of people to go out together and watch Lin Tian get beaten for fun.

"But I want to take John with me, what about you?"

"I will contact Dennis and Scott. They must also want to see Lin get embarrassed!" Jordan took a puff of his cigar and said proudly: "This time, let's appreciate how Lin was beaten, and also Accumulate some material carefully, and spray him once you see him in the future!”

"I will contact Reggie and Vince. These two guys will definitely join in the fun!" Barkley said with a smile: "Leave Shaq to me too. I heard that this guy practiced hard in the summer for the first time. Since After practicing hard, you should take a few days of rest if appropriate!”

"I'll go talk to Alan." Ewing said proudly: "Let him take the whole team! Then we will sit together and watch Lin embarrass himself!"

Even Tyson was a little excited this time: "I'm going too! I'm going to see how much this kid weighs, and I'll be your commentator! Huh, this kid thinks he has good talent, so he dares to compete in the Olympics? "

"Those super heavyweight guys in the Olympics will let him know: boxing is not that easy!"

So, such a group of guys quickly reached an agreement!
The Avengers, or in other words, the Alliance of Those Who See the Misfortune, has been officially formed!

As for how many bored people will choose to go to Sydney to watch Lin Tian boxing in the end, that is unknown.

This night, Jordan and others were happy and excited. They felt that they could finally see Lin Tian being embarrassed. They felt that they had finally found a point where they could laugh at Lin Tian!
This group of people is really excited from the bottom of their hearts!
God knows what they have been through in the past few years!
He can't win a fight, he can't talk trash, he can't even pick up girls.

It’s so frustrating! It’s really frustrating!

This night, the NBA stars were completely crazy and having fun. They were so happy. How happy were they?

Tyson, nicknamed Los Angeles nightclub weathervane, nightclub king, number one entertainment king and nightlife compass, shouted at 3 o'clock in the morning: "Damn! A group of desperadoes, drinking red and beer, drinking all What the hell do you drink from beer?”

"If I don't want to fight with you, I'll leave!" Well, the king of Los Angeles nightclubs drank and ran away.

But, Tyson, who was so drunk just now that he couldn't walk steadily, immediately opened his eyes after walking out of the nightclub and getting into his car. The unsteady look he had just now disappeared, and he suddenly became more awake. .

His bodyguard and driver was obviously used to all this. He was not curious and drove honestly.

It wasn't until the car was halfway through that the bodyguard finally couldn't bear it anymore and opened his mouth and said: "Boss"

"I did it on purpose." Tyson leaned back in his chair and said, "Of course I can see that Lin's fighting level is at least one level higher than other people in the Olympics. I can also see that if Lin wants to fight professionally, If he does, he will definitely sweep the professional boxing world and become a new generation of super heavyweight legend.”

"Then why are you..." This bodyguard has been with Tyson for many years, and he was also a boxer, but his record was not very good and he retired early.

He had just been curious about why Lin Tian was so obviously dominating, and his boss also knew what level the other athletes in the Olympics were, but he said such words to encourage those NBA stars to watch Lin Tian's game.

"Don't you think it's funny?" Tyson smiled like a fox, revealing an unknown side of the boxing champion: "They went to see Lin Chu to be embarrassed, but they saw Lin killing everyone. This scene, tsk Gee, it’s wonderful when you think about it!”

"Boss, what about us"

"Go to Sydney! Book flights and find game tickets. Let's go too!"

Of course, Lin Tian is completely unaware of Tyson's evil intention of digging holes to make Jordan and the others jump, as well as the alliance formed by NBA stars to watch and embarrass others.

If he knew, he might even break through his own bottom line and take a bite of Tyson's bare forehead to express his gratitude.

Now, he has returned to the summer resort and continues the training of the basketball team. No matter how satisfying it is to beat people up, it is also a side job. The main job of playing basketball cannot be neglected at all!
And the turmoil caused by Lin Tian's visit to the boxing ring this time is far more than that!

Not only has he become a rising star in the boxing world, but he has also gained a lot of extra attention because of his status as a basketball superstar. He has also triggered a new wave of kung fu craze in the country. Many teenagers have expressed that they want to learn boxing!

AND1, who have always had a very sensitive sense of smell, although they did not directly enter the boxing equipment industry, they picked up their old business and designed several related T-shirts to enrich their product line. At the same time, they are also working with Lin Tian After communication, several additional Olympic and boxing-themed colors were added to his sneakers!

From the time AND1 learned about Lin Tian’s boxing to the launch of their first batch of related peripheral products, it took less than a week in total. This efficiency can be said to be extremely exaggerated!

As soon as the brand new T-shirts and sneakers were launched, they were not disappointed and their efforts were in vain. Each product was an instant hit! Almost all related products in AND1 stores in various countries have been sold out. This sub-trend started by Lin Tian has made both himself and AND 1 a good profit!
Of course, Lin Tian doesn't pay much attention to these now, because as time goes by and the Olympics approach, the team's training has become more intensive and strict!
At the same time, Jiang Xingquan also announced the team's final 12-man roster with only the last month left before the Olympics! Those guys whose nature was similar to that of sparring partners or Olympic reserve teams left the training base of the Summer Resort with full reluctance.

After Jiang Xingquan announced the roster, there were finally only 12 people left in the Huaxia team's training base.

Center: Dayao, Dada, Daba

Power Forward: Liu Yudong

Small forward: Sun Jun, Zheng Wu

Shooting guards: Hu Weidong, Zhang Jinsong, Li Nan

Point guard: Lin Tian, ​​Li Xiaoyong, Guo Shiqiang
This lineup can basically be called the strongest lineup of the Chinese team today!

What is somewhat controversial may be that with Lin Tian, ​​Jiang Xingquan also brought three point guards. Everyone felt that it was too extravagant and unnecessary!
Another controversy is that while the team only has one genuine second center, Liu Yudong, another top second center in the country, Gong Xiaobin, nicknamed the 'Xiaoyao King', was not selected.

In particular, almost everyone knows that Gong Xiaobin was not selected because of personal grudges.

Before Lin Tian reported to the national team, Gong Xiaobin was scolded by Jiang Xingquan because of his unqualified training status. This stubborn guy was so angry that he kicked a water bottle on the ground and smashed it, and the two had an even more intense quarrel.

Then, Gong Xiaobin left the training base.

As for what happened after that, one of them was strict and the other was unruly. Neither of them wanted to give in, and they were completely frozen there.

Finally, after coordination between the Basketball Association and the local government, Jiang Xingquan said that Gong Xiaobin could return to the team as long as he apologized and recognized his mistake.

But Gong Xiaobin said that he was right. It was his duty to return to the team to serve the country and he could go back at any time. However, he had done nothing wrong and it was impossible to apologize.

As a result, the two of them were completely on top of each other. They both gave each other a step to step down, but they ignored the ladder handed to them by the other side, waiting for the other side to take the initiative to surrender.

result?

The result is that Gong Xiaobin has completely missed the current national team and lost a valuable opportunity to play for the country.

But except for the absence of Gong Xiaobin, the Chinese team is definitely full of elites this time!

All the three major centers are on the list, and almost all members of the 94 golden generation are also present. The emerging forces Zhang Jinsong, Li Nan, and Guo Shiqiang are in their prime.

Of course, the most important thing is Lin Tian!
He is undoubtedly the strongest point and the absolute core of this team. Whether the team can break through and how far it can break through can be said to all depend on him!

"Come on, let's study the opponent for this match again. I got the video of the Lithuanian team's recent warm-up match." Jiang Xingquan suddenly walked into the training hall, waving a video tape in his hand, and pushers came in with him. Assistant coach carrying a cart with a TV.

"Among our opponents in the group stage this time, the two strongest teams are Lithuania and Italy!"

Jiang Xingquan started the analysis while putting the videotape into the video recorder.

"Lithuania is a traditional powerhouse in Europe. It is almost the country in Europe that likes to play basketball the most, has the most honors, and has the best results. As long as they participate in any competition, they will definitely be one of the favorites to win the championship!"

"In addition, they are also regarded by many as the second favorite in this Olympics. They are called the team most likely to challenge the Dream Team for dominance!"

The TV was constantly showing the latest warm-up match of the Lithuanian team, but at this moment, Lin Tian, ​​who was sitting off the field, thought of another thing.

That’s the grouping situation for the group stage!
The competition format of this Olympic Games is very simple. 12 teams are divided into two groups. Each team plays 5 round-robin games. In the end, the top four in each group advance to the quarterfinals, which is a single-elimination knockout.

The Chinese team is in Group A. The teams in the same group include 99 European champion Italy, Gallic Rooster France, Eastern European powerhouse Lithuania, host Australia, and African champion Angola!

As for Group B, the United States leads the team, and the other five teams are Spain, New Zealand, Russia, Canada and Yugoslavia.

What do you say about this group?

It’s all chaos! It's completely different from the group in Lin Tian's memory!
In the original grouping, the United States and New Zealand should be in Group A, while Australia and Angola should be in Group B.

Needless to say, it was the butterfly effect after Lin Tian's arrival that caused the entire group to become completely different.

Maybe it's because the international ranking of the men's basketball team has improved, or maybe the tournament organizing committee believes that this peak matchup between the Chinese team and the United States should not be placed in the group stage.

In short, inexplicably, the American team separated from the Chinese team!
If both teams finish first in their group, then the showdown between them will be reserved for the Olympic finals!
At the same time, this grouping allows Australia, as the host, to play a match against the popular team China in the group stage. If they are lucky enough to reach the knockout round, they can also play against the Dream Team!
Let’s not mention the victory or defeat for now, but with this attendance rate and attention, it’s packed in minutes!
Anyway, Lin Tian just thought about it for a moment and smoothed the whole thing over.

Everyone knows Sima Zhao’s sincerity in the organizing committee!
But of course Lin Tian doesn't care about this. He will play the game when it's time to play, and he has no problem at all with whoever he beats first and whoever he beats later.

Just flip it over and it's over!
In the next three days, the Chinese team temporarily stopped most of their training and spent more time watching videos and analyzing the opponent's tactics and abilities, so that the players could understand the opponent's abilities, technical tendencies and playing style.

As for the coaching staff, they are fully engaged at this time to study how to deal with these teams.

Lin Tian did not give up his training at all these days. On the contrary, he spent more time and energy in the weight room to increase his strength. He wanted to turn the extra 2KG of fat into Effective power!
At the same time, Lin Tian did not forget to continue to change his diet. He wanted to make his body stronger while maintaining his weight of more than 91KG!
You still have to get into the boxing ring!

Then, in mid-August, the entire Chinese team packed their bags and they were leaving the training base!
In the next 20 days, they will go to Europe and play as many as 9 high-intensity warm-up matches there! Their opponents ranged from the well-known strong teams Yugoslavia and Russia to the slightly worse Germany and Greece, to several third-rate teams that were used to make the team find confidence.

Nine games in 20 days will allow the Chinese team to adjust their condition to the best, and also allow them to fully enter the high-intensity and high-density competition mode of the Olympic Games, so that everyone can make final preparations!

After these 9 warm-up games, the Chinese team will go directly to Sydney about 10 days in advance, where they will have a good rest for a few days, travel and adjust their physical, mental and other aspects.

Then, when the Olympic Games officially started, Jiang Xingquan wanted the entire Chinese team to perform their best and get into the best condition!
On the plane flying to Europe, I had the best relationship with Lin Tian. Now he was more cheerful than before. He looked at the newspaper and said: "This year's lineup of the Dream Team does not hide it at all. It is completely aimed at you." Ah Brother Lin!”

"What a dream team." Lin Tian curled his lips and said, "Team America!"

“There is only one dream team for this Olympics, and that’s us!”

"That's right! We are the dream team!"

"Dream Team!"

"Chinese Dream Team! Kill the American devils!"

The Chinese team, a large group of passionate men, is now at the peak of their self-confidence. With Lin Tian joining the team, they are now really confident that they can compete with any team in the world!

After making a fuss for a while, Lin Tian also took over the "Basketball Pioneer News" that was handed over. What was published on it was the so-called tour of the top 12 Olympic teams. Each issue of the newspaper will introduce a good team. The team's lineup, historical results, strength estimates and probability of victory or defeat against the Chinese team.

This time, it’s Team USA’s turn!

Lin Tian had no interest in the past, present, and past performance of the Dream Team. He turned directly to the list column, and then after just taking a look at the lineup list, he knew why this Dream Team was roughly aimed at. By myself.

Tomjanovich took three No. 1 positions this time. Except for Tim Hardaway, who is a type that focuses on offense and light defense, Payton and Kidd are the No. positions in today's NBA. Except for Lin Tian The two most defensive people besides myself!

At the second position, Eddie Jones and Steve Smith were selected, two tall, strong guys who are also known for their excellent defensive abilities, and then supplemented by sharpshooter Ray Allen and the mid-range shooting king Alan Huston.

In positions 1-2 alone, Tomjanovich brought 6 people, 4 of whom were very good at defense. With this lineup, he was not here to target Lin Tian, ​​but who was he targeting?
France's Ricardo or Lithuania's Gaskevicius?
Then at the 3rd position, there is Lin Tian’s old partner, the elite defender Christie. Inside, there is the league’s best help defense expert and sweeper Garnett, and the civilian version of Duncan who is hard-working and has almost perfect basic skills. , Antonio McDyess.

In addition, Vin Baker, who although his condition has declined significantly after gaining weight, is absolutely top-notch in size, and Raheem, a swingman scorer who can do 3 or 4 points.

Just this lineup, it can be said that it is completely different from the previous team building model and team building ideas of the US team, and even the opposite!

In the past, the most important thing for the dream team was the reputation and resume of the players. If you are not the league's top star or the highly anticipated college talent, don't even think about entering the dream team!
Super stars, top players and high popularity are the selection criteria for the previous three Dream Teams.

But this year? Half of them have never been to the All-Star Game, some have never even been in the top ten of the MVP list, and everyone, except Payton who was close to the MVP, Garnett and Kidd who may have won the MVP, the remaining nine have never been associated with the MVP!
An absolute civilian dream team, this lineup is really unremarkable!
Even in this dream team, there are only a few guys who are good at scoring.

Half of the people inside are top defensive players who really rely on scoring, namely Houston, Raheem and Ray Allen, but these three are really the best players on this Dream Team. Guys who are likely to be put on the end of the bench.

In short, as soon as Tomjanovich's lineup came out, it immediately caused shock and huge discussion across the United States.

Countless people have questioned Tomjanovich's selection policy and lineup composition. Why choose a lineup with such poor star quality and looking so unremarkable?

Are there no real top stars in our country for you to choose?
Tomjanovich: No more, bastard! No more! Do you think I don’t want to form a superstar lineup? Do you think I don’t want to take O’Neal, Mourning, Duncan, Kobe, and Iverson?

Damn it, these people are not coming!

what can I do? Tie them up and force them to play in Sydney?

Tomjanovich kept scolding her in his heart, but no matter how unhappy he was, he couldn't tell the media about it.

What is the difference between him saying it now and scolding these players in the current team? It will affect the unity of the team! He must support his own people, and he can only be a dumb man who eats Coptis chinensis and swallows his unhappiness.

"We are going to win the championship! We are going to win! We are not going to play in the All-Star Game, nor are we going to participate in a show. The development of world basketball has been rapid, and the strength of many teams in the world has been very obvious. promote."

"World basketball has entered a new era. If we continue to select an All-Star lineup according to previous ideas, we will definitely suffer a big loss! Pragmatism! This is the path we should take next. , is also the development direction of the American team!”

"Continuing to pile up big names will not increase our combat effectiveness. On the contrary, what we need is a group of players who really want to win, are truly proud to play for their country and are willing to give everything!"

"We are here to play games, win games, and fight! We are not here to go sightseeing and form a team for a show! This is the real reason why I formed this team!"

When facing the media, Tomjanovich used his eloquence that is famous in the league and gave a speech that he believed was worthy of "Don't underestimate the heart of a championship."

He believes that this speech can silence the media and fans, enhance the team's centripetal force, and greatly enhance the team's combat effectiveness!
At the same time, it can be regarded as Tomjanovich cheering himself up, making him more confident to come to the world stage and face the powerful players from all over the world!
Then, Tomjanovich's mentality completely collapsed!
He almost wanted to get a C4 explosive and blow up the entire plane!

Because he saw Jordan!

Not only did I see Jordan, but I also saw Barkley, O'Neal, Malone, Kobe, Carter, Stockton, Miller, and Ewing on the plane talking and laughing.
A super luxury team that was almost a collection of all-star teams from the East and West appeared in front of Tomjanovich and took the same flight as the American team.

If this was a train, Tomjanovich could convince himself that it was just a coincidence. These guys just happened to be on the way and got off early when they arrived at the station.

Even if he could see famous coaches such as Jackson, Riley or Sloan that he hated right now, he could lie to himself that this was the second team of the United States and it was also going to the Olympics.

But this is a plane, and there isn't an instructor with us.

Well, okay, there is.

That bastard Bird greeted Tomjanovich coquettishly!

Unless these bastards are here to experience free-falling without ropes and umbrellas from high altitude, their destination is only one: Sydney!

What a bunch of bastards!
When participating in the national team, one or two people have back pain or butt pain, groin strain or Achilles tendon problems.

Oh, the fucking American team has been assembled. How about you team up and go to Sydney?

go for what?
Team building?
Going to see a kangaroo fight a koala?

Tomjanovich was very angry and unhappy. He felt that these people just came to laugh at him and wanted to make him angry about his heart disease!

Otherwise, why would such a group of bastards who have formed a team that is not much worse than the Dream Team go to Sydney? Why do you have to sit on the same plane as the national team?
Angry! Very unhappy!

No, where is my C4? What about Blue Fire Gatling? What about individual rocket launchers?
Bring it here, I want to blow up the plane!
