USA Men's Basketball Station.
Colangelo, the leader of the U.S. men's basketball team, smiled and said to his big-name players: "Gentlemen, your first game is about to come. I wish you victory in advance. At the same time, I have to remind you Let me tell you, your opponent is the host country, so I hope you can give the host some face during the game and relax appropriately sometimes. Okay, I won’t disturb everyone to enjoy the game!"
After Colangelo finished speaking, he stepped aside, and members of the US team's coaching staff came forward. Dream Eight coach Krzyzewski said: "As for your opponent, the Chinese team, I have also watched their game. , you know them somewhat. The Chinese team has Yao in the inside, which is their strongest point. You have played against Yao many times in the NBA, so you must be more familiar with him than I do. In addition, they also have Yao in the inside. Qiu, who has played in the NBA, is roughly the same as the rookie Arab League, which means that China’s inside strength is definitely at the NBA level.”
Speaking of UAE, everyone looks to Michael Reid. Reed is now the boss of the Milwaukee Bucks, and can also be said to be the boss of the UAE.
Krzyzewski continued: "The Chinese team also has several very good shooters on the outside, but their physical talents are obviously relatively average, and they are not good at physical strength. I think as long as they put greater defensive pressure on them , they will make mistakes. Generally speaking, our strength is stronger than our opponents, and there is no doubt that we will win. The question is how many points we will win. You can play this game as an NBA All-Star Game. "
Everyone laughed. The purpose of the All-Star Game is to have fun. Except for the occasional few players who will play seriously in order to compete for the All-Star MVP, the other players are here to increase their presence.
"Finally, I have to mention one person." Krzyzewski said: "That is Zhang Guan."
"Zhang Guan? I've heard this name before." Boozer whispered.
"It's that track and field athlete, the fastest man in the world." Deron reminded.
"It turns out it's him! I even met him once during one of Nike's last events!" James said.
"Hey, Zhang Guan's girlfriend is Sharapova, she's a hot girl! She's a blonde!" Howard's eyes lit up.
"Why did the coach mention Zhang Guan? He is a track and field athlete, could he also come to play basketball?" Paul asked in a low voice.
"Didn't any of you pay attention to this year's NBA draft? I remembered the news a few days ago that Zhang Guan participated in this year's NBA draft and was selected by the Lakers with the 58th pick in the second round." Anthony said, Looking at Kobe.
"Oh, No. 58, except for the No. 1 pick, I don't care about anything else." Howard shook his head, and everyone also looked like they didn't understand. Obviously these superstars will not pay attention to an NBA rookie No. 58, even if this rookie is Zhang Guan.
"Oh haha, he is the fastest man in the world!" Bosh said to Wade with a scene-stealing expression: "Be careful, if Zhang Guan comes to play basketball, your name as 'The Flash' will But it’s about to be handed over to others!”
The atmosphere of the U.S. team has always been relatively lively, and there is no shortage of people who can make things happen in this Dream Team. And because the players are all superstars in the NBA, it is impossible for Krzyzewski to manage college players like him.
After several big stars finished talking, Krzyzewski said: "You are right, it is Zhang Guan, the king of track and field, the holder of multiple world records in track and field, and the fastest man in the world! He’s playing basketball now!”
"Oh..." Everyone exclaimed, and some even made very exaggerated expressions.
"I don't have any information about Zhang Guan. We don't know the style of play he's good at, we don't know his technical characteristics, and we don't even know which position he plays. But based on Zhang Guan's performance in track and field events, Our coaching staff made several basic judgments." Krzyzewski took out his notebook and continued: "First of all, Zhang Guan's official height is 6.3 feet, which should be the height after wearing shoes. According to this height, he is very tall. It is possible that he will play the No. 1 and No. 2 positions, but we do not rule out the possibility of him appearing at the No. 3 position."
As he spoke, Krzyzewski looked at several defenders to remind them to pay attention. Then Krzyzewski looked at the book in his hand and said: "The official weight of Zhang Guan is 214 pounds. Judging from the height and weight data, Zhang Guan is very similar to Dwyane (Wade), and Zhang Guan is also very fast, no one should doubt this."
Everyone nodded, but judging from Zhang Guan's height and weight data, he is indeed similar to Wade. Everyone understands the meaning behind this better. Wade's physical confrontation ability is among the best in the NBA, which also shows that Zhang Guan's Physical confrontation is also very strong.
"Zhang Guan's weight data may not be very accurate. I have met him and he looks thinner than Dwyane." James said.
"Don't forget that Zhang Guan is a track and field athlete." Kobe said: "The muscle density of track and field athletes is originally larger and they look thinner, but when it comes to explosive power, track and field athletes are stronger than us. powerful."
"Kobe, Zhang Guan hasn't signed with the Lakers yet, and you're speaking for him so soon!" Howard said.
"Kobe is right, and this is the second point I want to make." Krzyzewski continued: "Zhang Guan is different from the Asian players in our impression. The Asian players in our impression are either too thin, Lack of confrontation ability, or although he has weight, he has lost flexibility. Zhang Guan was obviously more like our American players back then, with a strong body, excellent confrontation ability, fast speed, and strong explosive power. Moreover, Zhang Guan also won the tennis perfect Therefore, in terms of body flexibility and mobility, he is definitely better than our ordinary American players."
This time everyone finally looked serious. The greatest strength of American players is undoubtedly their physical talent. Americans also value muscles. An opponent with excellent physical talent will obviously attract everyone's attention.
"The third point I want to talk about is the choice of playing style." Krzyzewski continued: "We don't know the skills that Zhang Guan is good at, but after analysis by our coaching staff, we are more inclined to choose Zhang Guan to be fast. Break through and score. Speed is undoubtedly Zhang Guan's biggest advantage. Once he is on the court, pay attention to his quick breakthrough. As I said just now, Zhang Guan's physical talent is great. When defending one against one, we may be Physical confrontation is not an advantage, so other players need to help defend.”
Krzyzewski said while looking at Howard and Prince. In this Dream Team, Bosh and Boozer are obviously not defensive insiders. The only inside defenders Krzyzewski can count on are Howard and Prince. They all entered the NBA's All-Defensive Second Team this year. Whether it is one-on-one defensive ability or assist defense ability, they are all top-notch in the NBA.
…
Krzyzewski emphasized a few more points, then disbanded the team, and the players began to prepare for the upcoming game.
"Mike, are we a little unfounded?" Krzyzewski turned his head and asked D'Antoni next to him.
D'Antoni is not only the head coach of the Suns, but also one of the assistant coaches of this Dream Eight team.
D'Antoni smiled slightly and said: "I'm really looking forward to Zhang Guan's performance. He is the fastest athlete in the world. That's what I dream of. If he can follow me, he will definitely be suitable for my run and gun tactics!" "
