10. The enigmatic starting lineup
Although the head coach of the Chinese national team, Deng Huade, still expressed his confidence in the upcoming London Olympics at the post-match press conference.
However, the Polish men's basketball team, which lost two losses to the London Olympics, lost 1 win and nine losses before the Olympics, still caused him and his Chinese team to be questioned by the outside world.
Although domestic fans are temporarily ignoring the record of the Chinese men's basketball team's warm-up match before the Olympics, foreign media, who are omnipresent, will not just miss such an opportunity.
Although Wu Dawei's performance in these two games is indeed pretty good, his performance level should be considered efficient in ten minutes and eighteen minutes. However, in the eyes of foreign media, this is still not enough, at least he is not worthy of Wu Dawei's current title of No. 1 player in basketball.
After Wu Dawei got the five-double data, it was natural that people's expectations for him rose. At this time, foreign media used this to attack the Chinese team, which was beyond reproach. Who said Wu Dawei is in the limelight now?
"I really can't imagine why Deng Huade's record of 1 win and nine losses in the warm-up match before the Chinese Olympics was still laughing and admitting that the current situation of the team is pretty good. Is it because Beijing Roast Duck was stupid? Although he does have a trump card like Wu Dawei, judging from his performance in the past two warm-up matches, although Wu Dawei performed well, it is very different from his performance in the Cleveland Cavaliers! If you say that he was not affected by injuries, then besides you are blind, Wu Dawei cannot adapt well to the international basketball rules under high-intensity games. Obviously, I think Chinese fans will not admit the latter view, so naturally Wu Dawei must have been affected by injuries!"
The American media quickly unified their views. They were not very optimistic about Wu Dawei's state: "Wu Dawei is indeed a player with enough strength to change the status of a game with one hand, but you must know that there is also a premise that he is in a healthy body. Now, there is no doubt that Wu Dawei's physical condition is not outstanding, otherwise he would not have played for only ten minutes in one game in the past two games, and the other game was just an extra eight minutes. Will this be the playing time of a healthy player?"
"And you have to know that there are less than two weeks left before the opening of the London Olympics. Wu Dawei still came on as a substitute in the last warm-up match of the Chinese men's basketball team, and he only played for eighteen minutes. If you say he is healed, I will definitely not believe it!"
"Although Wu Dawei is indeed outstanding enough. Even if he doesn't have to show 100% of his condition, he still has the strength to dominate the game. But I still have to pour cold water on those optimistic Chinese fans. That is, Wu Dawei's contribution to the Chinese men's basketball team should not be great, at least in the first few games of the Olympics. Maybe he will still play as a substitute player. The team's strongest star cannot do his best. You can imagine what kind of embarrassing situation the Chinese men's basketball team will encounter at that time!"
Although Wu Dawei got the time to play in the last two warm-up matches of the Chinese men's basketball team against Poland, it did make Chinese fans feel excited at the beginning. However, the news coming from the United States and the seemingly sensible analysis of the Chinese team and Wu Dawei immediately made domestic fans start to worry.
Although it is unreliable to know that the opponent's words are not credible, the news is indeed reasonable, which makes people worry about the upcoming Olympics. After all, on July 29, 2012, Beijing time, the Chinese men's basketball team will face their first opponent in the Olympics in London, the Spanish men's basketball team, the most powerful team in the same group!
At this time, the Chinese men's basketball team had just lost to the Polish team less than a week! Whether they could adjust and how the Chinese team would deal with the powerful Espanyol is unknown.
Because after Poland participated in these two warm-up matches, the Chinese team did not go to interview again. Instead, after a day off in Poland, the whole team set off for London, England.
The Chinese men's basketball team is not the American dream team. They do not have five-star hotels or luxury yachts, so of course they are going to check in to the Olympic village. Because the competition will start at the end of July, before the opening ceremony of the Olympics, the Chinese men's basketball team decided to check in to the Olympic village in advance. At that time, the Olympic delegations from various countries flocked in, resulting in the flag-raising ceremony being dragged for a long time.
On July 24, the Chinese men's basketball team took the lead in flew to London. Wu Dawei arrived in London with the team. Although his parents were also traveling with him, after they arrived in London, their parents checked in the hotel they had booked in London before, while Wu Dawei followed the team to the Olympic Village.
Since they arrived at the Olympic Village in advance, the Chinese men's basketball team was also one of the first representative teams to move into the Olympic Village. The room and flag-raising ceremony were soon completed. Next, the Chinese men's basketball team who arrived in London had to prepare for adaptive training at the venue on July 29.
After all, their first game was the Spanish men's basketball team, a super strong team that won many European championships, and the Chinese team naturally had to prepare for the game.
After all, the opponent is a team that is countless levels higher than him, and the stars in the team are also extremely gorgeous, not much inferior to the American Dream Team men's basketball team.
As the number one strong team in Group B, the Spanish men's basketball team is of course also the best rival of the Chinese team. However, for the match against the Spanish men's basketball team, the Chinese team's coaching staff have also begun to plan.
This year's Olympic men's basketball competition is divided into two groups, with six teams in each group. The two most popular teams that won the championship were divided into Group A and Group B respectively.
The Chinese team was assigned to Group B with the Spanish men's basketball team. The teams in the same group also included the host British team, former European champions Russia, South American strong team Brazil and Australian men's basketball team; while the American team was assigned to Group A, with their opponents in the same group being Tunisia, France, Argentina, Nigeria and Lithuania.
For the Chinese team, the biggest problem of this Olympics is not just Yao Ming’s retirement, but also that they are not separated from their brothers and brothers. In previous competitions, Chinese teams in the same group always met their brothers from Oceania, New Zealand or Africa…
But when this time, Chinese fans wanted to cry. Yishui's strong European and American teams, the only weakest in the same group, is probably the host British team... But there are also NBA players such as Ruer Deng in the team...
When they were grouped, there was a lot of wailing in China. Fortunately, Wu Dawei's rise at the right time allowed fans to see hope again. When Wu Dawei got five double data in the finals, the fans' original pessimism about this Olympics could be said to have been completely wiped out in an instant...
Just because Wu Dawei is too outstanding, and he has led the team to perform a comeback repeatedly, it also allows people to see the bright prospects of the Chinese men's basketball team in this Olympics. The reason for all this is of course because of Wu Dawei's existence. Now, Wu Dawei's injury and condition problems have naturally become the most concerned thing for Chinese fans.
The game is approaching, but Wu Dawei's injury seems to be very serious, as foreign media said, and it does not seem to have improved completely. Moreover, head coach Deng Huade does not seem to be very confident about the first game of the Chinese men's basketball team in the Olympics.
As the game approaches, the increasingly tense nerves naturally make Chinese fans feel uncomfortable. Moreover, the team has not announced the starting lineup against Spain, which makes people feel nervous about this...
At this time, there will naturally be someone who will take the initiative to calculate for everyone how the Chinese team needs to play in the group stage. The most hopeful victory is naturally the British team. Next is the Russian team that once fought fiercely, then Australia, then Brazil, and finally the Chinese team's first opponent in the Olympics, Spain.
After doing this, the Chinese team will face the Spanish men's basketball team in the first game, which is really scary...
But of course, what scares the fans the most is the head coach of the national team, Deng Huade, who has never announced the starting lineup. This mysterious starting lineup makes all fans unable to calm down.
As the game approaches day by day, the thing people are most concerned about is naturally the starting lineup of the Chinese team. Moreover, since the Spanish team has long announced the starting lineup of the Chinese team, people are even more curious about the starting lineup of the Chinese men's basketball team.
Not only Chinese media and fans are curious, but foreign media can't help but guess the starting lineup of the Chinese men's basketball team in the first game. The reason is of course very simple, that is, people want to know whether Wu Dawei can play in the first game and whether he will start!
This is the focus of people's attention, because Wu Dawei has performed so well in the past NBA season. Although foreign media don't say it, of course they still hope that Wu Dawei will not play in this Olympics. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
