Chapter 473 Against the Dream Team!
Westbrook officially joins the Orlando Magic!Partnered with Sun Zhuo and Kevin Durant to become teammates!
Westbrook is not an ordinary player, he is not even an ordinary superstar. When Sun Zhuo was reborn, Westbrook was one of the best players in the league, and he could average a triple-double and win the regular season MVP. This guy has With amazing physical fitness, unlike Curry, he is a violent point guard, and also different from Rose. Compared with Rose's several serious injuries, Westbrook is simply an iron man!
Sun Zhuo knows that once the team has Westbrook, they can do more.
Just like the Supersonics got Durant and Westbrook at this time in the previous life, people at this time have no idea what this combination means. The two partners of Durant and Westbrook at their peak can almost overwhelm the peak Warriors , if Sun Zhuo and Durant Westbrook continue to cooperate, then the ten consecutive championships may really not be a dream...
The Magic has now won three consecutive championships and is a well-deserved overlord of the league, so every move will attract the attention of other teams. After the Magic has Westbrook, many opponents have also re-analyzed the strength of the Magic.
Russell Westbrook is obviously a good player, more promising than Monta Ellis. After getting Westbrook, the Magic may have to give up Monta Ellis, but with the current statistics and evaluation of Westbrook Looking at it, I don't think the Magic will become more terrifying after possessing Westbrook.
Including the management of the Magic, they actually prefer to choose the big boy Kevin Love who is still fat and white at this time.
The Warriors also had a draft pick in the first round, and they asked Sun Zhuo for his opinion as always. In the previous life, the Warriors chose Anthony Randolph, a big inside player, but because of injuries and lack of confrontation, he didn’t get a chance to perform. After switching teams, he was forced to leave after only a few years in the NBA.
Choosing him in the first round is obviously a waste.
Therefore, Sun Zhuo's advice to the brother teams is...
"The Golden State Warriors selected Serge Ibaka with the 14th pick in the first round."
Seeing this, Sun Zhuo suddenly feels sorry for the future Thunder team. Durant, Westbrook, and Ibaka were originally Thunder players, but now they all become players of other teams.
One less James Harden...
……
"BJ welcomes you, moves you like music."
"Let's all work hard to surpass ourselves."
"..."
Since returning to China, the melody of this song has been lingering in Sun Zhuo's ears. 2008 was an impressive year for the Chinese people. In the Olympic Games, prove China's strength to the whole world.
Sun Zhuo was also personally invited by the country's top leader, and expressed his hope that Sun Zhuo could lead the team to win the gold medal.
……
On August 2008, 8, at eight o'clock in the evening, the opening ceremony of the BJ, No.8 Ninth Olympic Games, which attracted worldwide attention, was held at the National Stadium Bird's Nest.
Under the night, the Bird's Nest Stadium was brightly lit, and the stadium, which can accommodate 9 people, was full of seats. CCTV, NBC, BBC, NHK and other TV stations in various countries were also broadcasting the event simultaneously.
After the opening ceremony that surprised the whole world, athletes from various countries also led their teams to enter the arena. Athletes from various sports from all over the world gathered here. There are too many world sports stars, but the one who received the most applause from the scene, Or basketball players, especially NBA basketball players.
Basketball has been very popular in China, and Sun Zhuo's success has influenced and inspired countless Chinese boys. They all have the same dream, which is to play in the NBA.
In the American team, Kobe was the player who got the most cheers, far surpassing James Wade and others. When the Chinese team played the finale, although Sun Zhuo did not raise the flag, when the camera cut to him, the audience gave out the highest decibel Cheers, the momentum seemed to lift the entire stadium into the sky.
Sun Zhuo is already the most dazzling sports star in the world, not only in China, but also in any country in the world. In the next two days, Sun Zhuo also met athletes from various countries. Many older than Sun Zhuo called Sun Zhuo Sealed as an idol, to take a group photo.
On the same day, when Sun Zhuo logged into Jimmy Jordan’s mailbox, he also received an email from LeBron James. Before he came to China, he emailed Jimmy Jordan and said he wanted to meet him during the Olympics.
However, the beauty card is very precious, and it is a pity to use it just to meet James. Sun Zhuo shirked it, but Sun Zhuo assured James in the name of Jimmy Jordan that he would definitely meet James when he came to China this time.
The Olympic men's basketball team is divided into two groups AB, Group A has Lithuania, Russia, Argentina, Australia, Iran and Croatia, and Group B has China, Spain, the United States, Angola, Greece and Germany.
The world's most powerful China, the United States, and Spain are all in the same group, and Group B is undoubtedly called the death group.
Two days later, at 8:10 p.m. on August 10th, BJ time, the first match of the Chinese men's basketball team was against the world's strongest opponent, the American Dream Eight!
BJ Olympic Basketball Stadium, on-site VIP seats, you can see the hottest entertainment stars in China and other countries.
Jackie Chan, Andy Lau, Jay Chou, black Chen Jianzhou, Wu Yanzu, Lin Xilei, Chen Yihan, Shawn Yue, Wu Kequn...
There are many stars in China who like basketball, and because of Sun Zhuo, they all become Magic fans. It can be said that there are more Magic fans in China than Rockets fans, and blue has become a popular color in China.
In addition to entertainment stars, business and political celebrities from various countries also filled every position in the auditorium.
Chairman & President of China and the United States, Spanish Crown Prince and Princess, French President, Australian Prime Minister, Bill Gates, Buffett, Zuckerberg...
This game is recognized as a match between the two best national teams in the world, even if it is just a group match.
At the scene, on the US team, Kobe, James, Howard, including Anthony, all wanted to win China and Sun Zhuo once. Kobe just lost to Sun Zhuo in the finals, and James also just lost in the playoffs. Howard It's Sun-joo's ex-teammate, but Sun-joo's three-peat without him makes him feel so worthless.
"If we are combined together, if we can't beat Sun Zhuo, then it's too unreasonable." LeBron James looked at the group of luxurious teammates around him. James always thought that he lost to Sun Zhuo because he lacked good teammates. Now, With Kobe, Wade, Anthony and Howard around him, they are all several grades higher than Sun Zhuo's teammates. This is James' best chance to win against Sun Zhuo.
Kobe also said to all the players: "This is the strongest dream team ever."
Before starting, Kobe said that he thought the Dream Eight team was better than the Dream Team One, which also caused dissatisfaction among the Dream Team members. Larry Bird joked: "Did he say that? Maybe, We're all old now, so of course we can't beat them."
But in any case, the Dream Eight team is indeed as luxurious as the Dream One team, and its strength is also very close. It is the best team of the US national team in recent years.
Before, they lost the gold medal repeatedly because they did not assemble the strongest lineup. Now, they have assembled the strongest lineup, and they will not stop until they win the gold medal.
Everyone in the Chinese team is also very serious.
"Our opponent is very strong." Sun Zhuo looked at these teammates of the national team seriously. Sun Zhuo has been competing with the best athletes in the world these years, and those people are almost on the opposite side. People, except for Yao Ming who is considered a low-level player, everyone else is far from the world's top players.
This is like comparing five kings with one king, one Xingyao and then a platinum and diamond player.
Before, the Chinese team beat the US team, but that was because the US team did not send the strongest lineup, and now it is completely different.
"However, we are also very strong." Sun Zhuo paused for a moment, and then said, "We will be the world champions! Come on!"
The entire Chinese team is completely guided by Sun Zhuo. Just like in the Magic team, Sun Zhuo's voice and status are above the coach. Everyone knows that if the Chinese team wants to win the gold medal, Sun Zhuo is the only one to rely on.
The Chinese national team has always paid attention to unity and cooperation, but this time in the Chinese men's basketball team, it is a complete exception.
The game starts soon!
Sun Zhengping: "The Chinese men's basketball team wears red sportswear, and the American men's basketball team wears white sportswear. China's starting lineup is Liu Wei, Sun Yue, Sun Zhuo, Yi Jianlian and Yao Ming. The US team's starting lineup is Kidd, Kobe, James, Anthony and Dwight Howard."
Zhang Weiping: "China and the United States are the biggest opponents of this men's basketball Olympic Games. They are both in the same group, and they met in the first game. China and the United States have no problem qualifying for the group. I don't know how the two teams will compete in this game. What kind of beating."
Although it was only a group match, all the players gave their best in the first minute of the game, and the fans in the arena were also extremely excited. Every time they snatched the ball and every shot, it aroused strong repercussions.
The Chinese team's style of play at the beginning was very simple, that is, trying to get the ball into Sun Zhuo's hands, and then let Sun Zhuo play one-on-one singles in the low post. He has no solution to any defender.
However, the U.S. team also knows this. They know that the reason why the Chinese team is strong is Sun Zhuo. lose!
"Prevent him from catching the ball!" Kobe commanded when he saw that the Chinese team was about to pass the ball to Sun Zhuo, while LeBron James stuck close to Sun Zhuo to prevent Sun Zhuo from catching the ball easily.
Sun Zhuo's teammate from the national team was hesitant to pass the ball, perhaps because they were too afraid of the US team's fast break, so they didn't take the risk of passing the ball to the other side, and finally Yao Ming hooked it, but also failed to score.
The U.S. team entered the scoring state as soon as they came up. Kobe faced Sun Yue and scored in a strong singles, but Sun Yue was completely unable to defend.
Sun Zhengping: "The U.S. team has scored first, and the Chinese team has to catch up quickly. The U.S. team cannot widen the gap."
Zhang Weiping: "Yes, judging from today's state, the U.S. team is still very anxious to attack. They really want to win this game to prove that they are still the overlord of the basketball world, and now the No.1 basketball player Sun Zhuo is in the Chinese team. Stimulate their performance even more."
Sun Zhuo wanted to respond, but the U.S. team's defense against Sun Zhuo was too fierce. They couldn't get the ball in the low post, unless they were outside the three-point line, but they got the ball, but they were still double-teamed, and they didn't let Sun Zhuo break through at all. Opportunity.
Everyone can see that the US team is completely targeting Sun Zhuo alone and letting the other players of the Chinese team go. At this time, as long as other players dare to stand up and shoot and can make shots, the Chinese team will score very easily.
However, the Chinese team does not have a very good pitcher, and this lineup did not include Zhu Fangyu.
The Chinese team played very hard in the first few minutes, maybe they did not expect the United States to come up with such a strong defense, not only against Sun Zhuo, when others have the ball, when others want to attack the basket, they The defense he encountered was also terrifying.
Once Sun Yue broke through for a layup, Howard slapped him into the auditorium, and his aura made Sun Yue terrified.
"This group of guys are all like monsters." Sun Yue felt the terrible defense of the US team, which had an impact on his subsequent offensive mentality.
Yao Ming has fought against all these opponents, and he is more emotional than Sun Yue: "James, Kobe, Howard, because of Sun Zhuo's relationship, they have all become tougher and even ruthless, just like forming an Avengers alliance. Coming here to seek revenge from Sun Zhuo, this is by no means a simple group match."
Sun Zhuo also felt each of them's "hate" towards him, not to mention that these are NBA opponents, even if his teammate Durant appeared in this game, he would treat him with the same attitude.
Sun Zhengping: "Sun Yue changed direction, alas, was cut off by Kobe!"
Zhang Weiping: "Kobe made a one-stop fast break, Sun Zhuo was really fast, caught up, Kobe passed to James, and dunked alley-oop, really beautiful."
After Kobe and James completed the alley-oop cooperation, they clapped their hands with serious expressions, and did not say a provocative word to Sun Zhuo.
At this time, Sun Zhuo accidentally saw Wade's expression off the court. Wade shrugged, and Sun Zhuo could understand what he wanted to express.
Under Kobe and James' strong desire to win, the Chinese team lost 16 points in a single quarter. Liu Wei, Sun Yue and Yao Ming all made mistakes.
"It's scary! This Dream Eight team is too scary! It even brought the Chinese team back to what it was ten years ago. Although Sun Zhuo hasn't played yet, even if he does, can he fight against so many superstars alone? "
"Sun Zhuo can score [-] to [-] points in a game, and Kobe can do it too, and Kobe has LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony by his side, and Flash Wade on the bench. I think the Chinese team will still compete for a silver or bronze medal." Well, basketball is all about the team after all.”
After a single quarter, no one thinks that the Chinese team can win the world championship.
