On August 24, 2008, the Beijing Olympic Games ushered in the last day of competition, in the peak matchup between the American men's basketball team "Dream Eight Team" and the Canadian team, Canada won 108:102 with 18 three-pointers and excellent play in the fourth quarter, winning the Olympic men's basketball gold medal for the first time in history.

The core of the Canadian men's basketball team, the Chinese twin brothers, tied for the MVP honor of the men's basketball program at the Beijing Olympics after the game.

Ji Guoqiu averaged 16.9 points, 10.2 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 3.6 blocks per game in 8 games, shooting 59.5% from the field, 90% from three-point range, and 91% from the free throw line.

Ji Guoyi contributed 23.5 points, 9.5 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 3.5 blocks per game in 8 games, shooting 53.6% from the field, 44% from three-point range, and 90% from the free throw line.

The players who won the scoring champion in the men's basketball event of this Olympic Games are-Ji Guoyi; rebounding king - Ji Guoqiu; Assist King - Nash; Block list: Ji Guoqiu.

Canada's Big Three hold four of the heaviest players in all the lists, with the most points, rebounds, assists, and blocks on one team, and it's not hard to understand that their victory is well deserved. It is worth mentioning that in addition to equaling Jordan's miracle, Ji Guoyi also broke many Canadian team records, and became the single-quarter scoring champion in the history of the Canadian team in the Olympic team.

The next day, most of the American media put the content of the two brothers' alleged exchange of clothes on the front page of major newspapers and media, and James said even more eloquently after the game: "They must have changed their clothes, and we fell for their tricks." The twin brothers used trickery to steal the victory that would have been ours. ”

As soon as this statement came out. Many excited American fans said. These two despicable players should be barred from entering the country, and they should not be allowed to play in the NBA games again unless they hand over what should have belonged to the United States, the Olympic gold medal.

Ji Guozhi watched the news and said in his heart that Lao Tzu would give you 100 million sperm! Say we cheat, is there any evidence? Is there an invoice?

"Damn gorilla, even my clothes are burned, and I have the face to mention this."

Of course. There are also some media who believe that regardless of whether the two brothers have changed their clothes or not, the difference is not big, anyway, how to change these two people on the field, the bigger reason why the American team lost the game is their own problems, and being defeated by someone with a conspiracy means that their own strength is still not enough, otherwise any conspiracy is not worth it.

Well, the above is actually said by the Canadian media, who told them to take advantage.

However, it is not without the American media that this attitude is held. Charles. Barkley publicly stated the next day: "The biggest reason why Canada won is not the real or fake pandas." It is their momentum of being weak against strong and not admitting defeat from the beginning. If there is such a thing as changing clothes, it will only be changed in the second half. In the first half of the game, Canada once forced the United States team to scramble, which is also the Olympic men's basketball team in 1992 into the "NBA era", the most fierce competition in the finals, the first four were won by the American Dream Team easily, but this final from the beginning means that the United States team will not be easy. ”

"Technically, Spain's defeat in the semi-finals taught Canada a lesson from the former's defeat, and they did a good job of protecting the ball in this game to prevent the U.S. from making easy tackles and scoring on a fast break," Barkley stressed. In the whole game, Canada only trailed the United States 7-10 in steals, and the mistakes were tied at 13-13. Defense was originally Mengpachi's strong point, but in this game, Canada's defense was a tooth for a tooth and an eye for an eye, and it was also very tough and ferocious. Especially in the battle for the inside line, the twin brothers have an absolute advantage, the brothers teamed up to send 11 blocks, I think the American team only lost so much, the loss of Canada except for the Big Three has no stars, if the twins are in Argentina or Greece, the American team will lose even worse! ”

Rodman also publicly satirized the inside line of the American team after the game, claiming that they would not do anything but foul, and they were all rice buckets!

Dream Eight's defeat caused a stir in the United States for a while, and many fans began to feel that Barkley and others made sense after scolding the twin brothers for being despicable and shameless, even if the twins cheated, the American team should not lose so simply. If you were deceived at the beginning, but the fake panda shot 4 of 4 three-pointers in the fourth quarter, and 6 of 7 shots in the whole game, did the players of the American team react after the fake panda shot 6 three-pointers? What did you do before?

The ESPN summed it up with a fair report:

This final is a classic, and it was too intense to imagine before the game. In the end, Dream Eight lost, in the final analysis, it was not a true or false twin, the American team still lost because the tactics were too simple, and the repetition was to play speed, break through, and use personal super ability to suppress the opponent. During the period from Dream One to Dream Four, although there were no complicated tactics, and most of the opponents were defeated by personal ability and rapid advancement alone, at that time, American players had an absolute advantage in strength, and they could start playing when they found that the lead was too big, and when they were almost done, they relied on their personal ability to kill you in a wave.

However, times have changed now, and the players of the American team are still all superheroes, but their opponents are no longer ordinary people, and they have also become mutants who are not inferior to the Justice League......

So when the U.S. team's shooting percentage plummeted, and the opponent's defensive intensity played like this Canada, they were a little helpless, and in the end, they could only rely on the individual abilities of James, Wade and Kobe Bryant to try to overwhelm the opponent. And when they found out that it was the championship inside combination that was guarding the inside, even this last resort didn't work, and there was no other answer than losing.

The reason why the first three American teams lost three consecutive World Series losses and lost their due dominance was not that they lost their advantage, but that the real reason for the successful experience of the current American team was the lack of familiarity and tacit understanding, and the lack of "chemistry" that an excellent team should have.

Canada's Big Three dominate the scoring charts, rebounding charts, assists charts, and blocks charts, which fully reflects their dominance and chemistry, shouldn't the U.S. team lose?

World basketball is improving. Today, other European and American teams and even Asian teams are catching up. Once again, American basketball proved that they have the best players. But it is no longer possible to stand out from the crowd. After leaving behind their glory, the Dream Team began to be surrounded by the world and fell quickly, perhaps they will rise again in the next edition, but the twins are so young that the fate of "Dream Nine" is full of fog.

After the Olympics, the eyes of world basketball returned to the American continent, and far away on the west coast of the United States, Los Angeles, the Lakers' months-long efforts finally paid off, and they completed a big trade that shocked the league on August 25.

The Lakers have made a lot of moves this summer. Kupchak first used the full mid-range to sign the Clippers' veteran - Corey at the end of July. Margeti, this is considered a deal that could be a great value, or it could be a deal for a cheat. Margeti was traded to the Kings by the Clippers last season, and his average of 20+5+3 per game, plus 45% shooting and 35% three-point shooting, although it was brushed out on the big bad team, also made him a quasi-All-Star.

No one expected that the Lakers would take Margetty with only one mid-range. It makes one wonder what kind of behind-the-scenes deal there is.

With Margeti joining the Lakers, the shocking deal isn't over yet. The Lakers said their big move was behind and Margeti was just an appetizer.

Sure enough, on August 25, the Los Angeles Lakers announced that they would trade Fisher + Vujacic + Luke Wharton for Byron, who had just signed a new contract with the Golden State Warriors. Davis, who signed a new five-year, $60 million contract, which came into effect less than a day after the deal, was clearly pre-negotiated and signed-to-trade.

The Golden State Warriors have already planned to develop rookie Monta this season. Ellis, so Byron. Davis has made a way for himself early on, his contract is a player option this year, and his intention is to jump out of his contract to test the free market.

The deal was made entirely by Byron. Davis' agent is behind the scenes, and the player himself wants to come to the big city of Los Angeles and join the Purple and Gold Nobles. Compared to the impact of rising stars in the Warriors, the Lakers lost in the Western Conference Finals last season, and everyone knows that they are now looking for a good point guard to compete with Billups.

Then, the bearded man who made the Black Eight Miracle last time is the best choice, the Lakers don't have many options, and the same is true for Davis, and the two sides hit it off.

But here's the problem, the Lakers don't have space, no matter how they operate, they can free up to 8 million space, and this money can sign a point guard like Calderon at most this year. As for the Lakers, they either have to get an All-Star, or they might as well continue to use the old fish.

It can be seen that the Lakers have energy, and everyone doesn't know how to operate behind them, but they also guessed that they must have private contact with the players, which is Yan zhòng's violation of league regulations. But the league also knows that if the Lakers don't strengthen the lineup, the excitement of the Los Angeles derby will decline, so it is necessary to turn a blind eye and let the Lakers continue to strengthen.

As soon as this deal came out, Lakers fans were overjoyed!

The bearded man is at his peak in recent years, and his age is not very old, only 29 years old.

The peak of point guards is generally relatively long, and if you look at their arch-rival point guard Billups, Mr. Key is 32 years old and still looks like he's in his prime. So they feel that giving the beard a five-year contract of 60 million is simply worth it, Davis's offensive ability is definitely stronger than Billups, and his assist ability is not bad, and his defense looks good, so he can finally have a good fight with the Clippers.

The new season of the Lakers will consist of: Byron. Davis, Kobe. Bryant, Corey. Margety, Paul. Gasol, Andrew. Bynum's luxurious starting lineup, plus sixth man Lamar. Odom, the Zen master said: The lineup of the Purple Lakers has joined the KFC luxury lunch!

Purple and Gold fans can't wait to start clamoring for the Clippers to beat the Clippers four times in the new season, and the Lakers' luxurious starting and bench lineups give them such confidence that this year's Lakers will be far better than last season.

It's a pity that the Lakers fans only had three days of arrogance before they found out that they were also robbed, and the Rockets used a three-quarter mid-level contract to steal their rookie - Trevor. Ariza.

The Rockets offered Ariza a contract, and the Lakers can certainly choose to match, but they have Margety, they can't give Ariza too much playing time, and give a 4 million contract to a bench who doesn't have much playing time, and the Lakers can't play like this no matter how rich they are.

The Houstonians haven't been without success this season, with Ariza and Battier barely able to top a top with Maddy's injury unknown.

The two brothers are still in China at this time, and the newly signed endorsements will shoot a few commercials, and the two are expected to return to the United States at the end of the month and start preparing for the new season after a month of rest. The Clippers are not ready to let the two brothers participate in the preseason, not only the two of them, but also Kobe Bryant and other American players who participated in the Olympics will not participate in the preseason, otherwise they really can't rest.

In the 2008-2009 season, the Clippers were stronger or weaker than last season, and it is impossible to draw conclusions at the moment, but the strength of several of their main champions has strengthened, which also indirectly increases the difficulty for the Clippers to defend their title.

After Ji Guoyi learned about the Lakers' disc trading, he deliberately wrote on his blog: "This summer, the most dazzling NBA team is none other than the Lakers, who will form F4 after 4 years, or even F5." But everyone knows that F4 4 years ago was a failure, and that was a complete joke.

So will F4 win this time? I look at the hanging, I have three questions, if these three "? "If they can't straighten up, then the new luxury version of the Lakers will still be difficult to achieve, and it will once again become an out-and-out joke.

First, do the Lakers have the backbone like 04?

In the '04 Finals, the Lakers were beaten 4:1 by the Bad Boys Pistons, and they had a chance to eliminate the defending champion in the Western Conference semifinals thanks to Xiao Yuer's magical 0.4 seconds. As for the reason for the failure of the luxury F4 Lakers, although there is a reason for the old age and decay of the postman's gloves in F4, the real main reason may be that the battle for power of the OK combination has consumed the fighting power, that is to say, the main reason for the failure of the Lakers F4 in 04 is that there is no backbone.

The current Lakers have a Byron who holds the ball. Davis, Gasol who needs the ball to be brave, plus Kobe Bryant, who you can't afford to give the ball, how many balls can Margeti and Bynum and even Odom get, their many stars are likely to become countless uncertain and unstable elements, and they could explode in the Lakers' locker room at any time.

Second, Byron. Is Davis compatible with Kobe?

An Zhu and Gasol on the inside line are already incompatible, so can Beard and Kobe be compatible? Both of these are stars who need to break through with the ball to be powerful, the difference is a superstar and an All-Star, but if you deprive Byron of it. Davis's possession of the ball, then he is an old fish with a good defense, and the fixed-point three-point may not be as good as the old fish, at most in some periods, he will receive the boss and throw the pot to stage a wonderful breakthrough.

Third, can Kobe Bryant learn to let go?

Kobe Bryant is still a privileged player for the Lakers, and not one of them. But considering that he is no longer young, he has to learn to let go, just like he did in the US national men's basketball team. But even if he can try to put it down, considering that the Lakers' lineup is far from the thickness of Dream Eight, and the most important thing is that the Lakers don't have an outside line that can reassure Kobe Bryant like James and Wade, plus the heavy responsibility of the fourth ring and the sworn enemy in the same city, it is difficult for Kobe to learn to let go completely.

If the boss can't let go, the bearded man will not be happy, and it is difficult to ensure that he will not be passive and slack off; In this way, Margeti's space will be compressed again, so Gasol's ability to respond will not be able to be used; In this way, the scum department will not be able to let go...... In such a vicious circle, can the Lakers produce results?

It is said that Kupchak, the general manager of the Lakers, smashed a flower pot at the office that night and said that he wanted to know where to eat fox meat? (To be continued......) R1292
