Chapter 402 The Origin of the Famous Nickname

Time passed quickly, and it was the end of July in a blink of an eye. The men's basketball team came to Jinling this time to participate in the last FIBA ​​Cup before the Olympics - the Diamond Cup.

This is also a warm-up with the most practical value.

Because in the Diamond Cup this time, all participating teams have sent their main Olympic players.

However, from a global perspective, the most watched team did not come to Jinling. The American men's basketball team, which is called Dream Eight by Chinese fans, has just arrived in Haojing for training in this former Portuguese colonial city.

Erniu naturally pays special attention to this opponent in the group stage, but unfortunately, the news from the Internet is very unreliable.

It is said that Krzyzewski, the head coach of the US men's basketball team, emphasized the pressing tactics, so the 03 gold trio composed of James, Anthony, and Wade just arrived at the hotel and traveled together to find inspiration.

They came to a bathing shop in Haojing, and appointed a little girl from Da Nan to help with the massage.

The three of them had obviously inquired about the market, and they asked Danan Xiaomei to serve them by name as soon as they came.

Anyone who knows the industry knows that Miss Da Nan is famous for her work.

About two hours later, the three left the bathroom and returned.

Judging from the video secretly shot at the scene, when he went out, Anthony thoughtfully arranged his clothes and pants, with his hands still in his pants as if aftertaste.

When they arrived at the hotel, the three of them didn't know whether it was sleepiness or too much energy. They were so tired that they lay down on the counter of the inquiry office, and they didn't get up and return to the room until the inquiry was completed.

This story tells everyone how serious the American men's basketball team is about training.

Not only do you think carefully on the court, but you don't forget to take the time to practice and experience even during the break.

For this kind of full-time dedication, it must be affirmed and praised!

Therefore, not long after, the majority of netizens resolutely gave the 03 Golden Three Heroes the nickname "Three Heroes of the Wind and Dust" in recognition of their hard work and hard work.

I don't know why, a few years later, Chris Paul, who obviously didn't join the "Operation Fengfeng", was also involved.

In fact, that day, Paul, a family man, had been sleeping in the hotel. His 05 class did not participate in the outdoor activities of the 03 golden generation.

But there is no way, because Chris Paul has a good relationship with these three people, he was eventually implicated in it.

Ever since, the title of "Four Heroes of the Wind and Dust" resounded throughout the world, and CP3 had no choice but to lie down.

This story tells us that life is beautiful, but we need to be careless in making friends.

Ruan Erniu smiled when he saw this anecdote, and didn't pay much attention to it.

It's not uncommon for little stories like this to come out about these black players with X-worm brains.

Jijisen and Lunar Eclipse are the same stuff. During the regular season, they invited Erniu to play in nightclubs more than once.

But in the same way, this does not prove that these guys have no fighting power.

They play around in nightclubs, but their strength on the field may not be compromised.

Because truly sensible superstars will completely calm down before major battles and devote all their energy to training and competitions.

The physical fitness and training intensity of this group of people are also top-notch in the world.

In contrast, even if the Chinese players did not go out to mess around, the huge gap in their physical condition, training intensity and scientificity determines that they are still more than one level behind the American men's basketball team.

On July 2008, 7, the FIBA ​​Diamond Cup was held at the Olympic Sports Center in Jinling.

A total of six teams participated in the FIBA ​​competition, they are: Angola, Australia, China, Argentina, Iran and Serbia.

Among them, Group A is Angola, Australia and China; Group B is Argentina, Iran and Serbia.

The two groups of teams will play a single round-robin match, and then No.2 in Group A and No.2 in Group B will compete for the third and fourth place, while No.1 in Group A and No.1 in Group B will compete for the championship and runner-up .

The Tianchao men's basketball team will once again play against Angola in the Olympic group stage. After that, they will play against Australia, another Olympic group opponent.

Naturally, Angola needless to say, but the Australian team is a team that can test the Chinese men's basketball team.

In other words, there has always been such a voice that Australia will finally join the men's basketball team in Asia.

If this is the case, it is very bad news for the Tianchao men's basketball team.

This means that the traditional overlord of Asian basketball - the Chinese men's basketball team will encounter unprecedented challenges.

Although after entering the 21st century, the Chinese men's basketball team is often reduced to a second-rate Asian team in the mouths of Internet trolls, but judging from the timeline of decades, the men's basketball team is still a well-deserved Asian overlord.

But once Australia really joins the Asian sequence, it will be hard to say.

Ruan Erniu also discussed Australia's strength with Dayao in private.

Dayao said worriedly: "Apart from the two of us, Australia's overall strength is stronger than ours. Their entire team is more like playing rugby, with a lot of physical contact. team."

Ruan Erniu retorted: "If you put it this way, Australia should also ignore Bogut.

However, let's slaughter Angola again first, let's talk about the experience. "

Dayao said, "Why don't you play Karazhan together if you have time in the evening?"

Er Niu smiled and said: "Aren't you afraid of you, old Hu K? By the way, don't let your hunter be chopped off by the tauren again! By the way, there is also your little pet!"

Dayao: "..."

There is also no suspense in the diamond cup battle between the men's basketball team and Angola.

From the very beginning of the game, the Tianchao men's basketball team, which is sitting on Erniu and Dayao, overwhelmed the opponent in terms of momentum.

In this game, Jonas thought twice and replaced the starting lineup again, putting Ruan Erniu at the starting power forward position, forming a world-class inside combination with Dayao, and Zhu Fangyu, Sun Yue, and Liu Wei forming the backcourt.

Er Niu repeated the same trick and hit consecutive 3-pointers in the first quarter of the game, defeating the last fighting spirit of the Angola team on the outside.After playing vigorously, Er Niu even tried to shoot long shots from the outside one step away from the three-point line, and his shooting percentage remained above 50%.

The overall outside shooting containment, including Er Niu, made Dayao on the inside more comfortable.

In the second half, the Tianchao men's basketball team changed another attack method. Ruan Erniu appeared in the low post, while Dayao was arranged to shoot in the high post.

Ruan Erniu in the low position was unstoppable, while Yao Ming in the high position was also able to deliver stable mid-range output. The score between the two teams was once stretched to more than 30 points.

In the end, it was Jonas who replaced the fringe man in advance, which gave the Angola team a chance to breathe.

At 74:96, the men's basketball team won the first victory of the Diamond Cup with 22 points, and it was also their 14th consecutive victory in the warm-up match.

The next night, they will face the Australian men's basketball team.

When Erniu was interviewed by the rich goose again the night before, he got such news from Shi Yankui. He just interviewed Bucks center Bogut yesterday.

Australia's big mouth fired again: "I will let Kraft Nguyen understand that the international arena and the NBA game are completely different things, and there is nothing special about him here."

When Ruan Erniu heard this, he chuckled and said, "Well, that's good. Andrew has always had a good sense of humor. Tomorrow I will let him know a cruel reality. No matter where he is, I can handle him."
