144. Final opponent
Although Bob Deng Huade didn't hear any good news from the phone, he finally finished watching the Olympic semi-finals between the American men's basketball team and the Argentine men's basketball team.
The final result of the game was not unexpected at all. The US team defeated their old rival Argentina without any danger. Although the Argentine fought to the death, it still could not escape the fate of losing.
There is still a big gap in real strength between the two sides, and the Argentine team now does not have players like Wu Dawei. Manu Ginobili used to be a player who could change the entire game with his own strength, but now as he grows older, his abilities have begun to deteriorate.
So most of the time, facing the situation where the team is lagging behind, Manu Ginobili is just too willing but not enough. The Argentina team eventually lost the game 88:102, and they are going to compete with the Spanish men's basketball team for the bronze medal in this Olympics.
The remaining Chinese men's basketball team and the American Dream Team will meet in the Olympic finals. At that time, these two teams will compete for the gold medal in this Olympic Games!
After the game, it was obvious that the players of the American team who won the game were obviously more sought after than the players of the Argentine team who lost the game. After all, all the American team are well-known superstars.
Of course, media reporters would rush over to interview them, but most of the interviews were compliments to the US team. Since the beginning of this Olympic Games, they have shown super invincible and powerful personal abilities in every game.
For most fans and audiences, it is obvious that everyone likes to see the personal performance of the stars more, so it is not surprising that the US team is so popular.
Although the reporters initially asked the superstars of the US team to compliment the US team and congratulate the US team on winning the Olympic semi-finals and winning the ticket to the Olympic finals; however, naturally, reporters began to ask the superstars of the US team about their views on the Chinese men's basketball team's historic entry into the Olympic finals.
"Well. I watched the semi-finals in the front." When Kobe Bryant faced the reporter's inquiry, the Lakers star said: "It was a very great game, and both sides performed very well. But obviously, the Chinese team performed better. Wu Dawei is the best basketball player in the world at present, and his performance in the game is shocking! This is the best personal performance show I have ever seen!"
Kobe Bryant's answer made the Chinese journalists around him feel very happy and proud. This is the recognition they want to hear. In the past, when the Chinese men's basketball team was just a formality in the World Championships, Chinese journalists did not expect to hear any praise about the Chinese team from the mouths of these super stars. Now, under the leadership of Wu Dawei, the Chinese men's basketball team has achieved such outstanding results. Chinese journalists who have no say in the World Championships naturally hope to hear praise from the other party.
Kobe's praise for Wu Dawei is obviously in line with the wishes of Chinese journalists. No wonder Kobe has such a high popularity in China...
Of course, the reporters must not just interview Kobe Bryant. In fact, there are 12 super stars in the American Dream Team. Even if you only find a few top stars to interview, it will not be over in a short time.
In addition to the Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant, another superstar of the American Dream Team, who is most popular among reporters, is obviously LeBron James of the Miami Heat.
Everyone knows that LeBron James and Wu Dawei are the "mortal enemies" that are the most disliked. So when Wu Dawei not only achieved outstanding achievements in the NBA League, but also led the weak Chinese men's basketball team to the Olympic finals, people were eager to get some opinions about him now about Wu Dawei from LeBron James.
"LeBron, do you have any opinions on the opponents of Team USA's next game?"
After congratulating LeBron James and the United States team advanced to the finals of this Olympics, someone asked the same question as Kobe. When LeBron James heard this question, his expression was very different from Kobe Bryant.
His expression immediately became a little unnatural. Obviously, everyone knows why. Because the Americans' opponent in the next game is Wu Dawei and his Chinese team.
LeBron James also watched the match between the Chinese men's basketball team and the Spanish team in the basketball court with the team. Although Wu Dawei has always performed very well in the Olympics before, LeBron James never thought that Wu Dawei could lead the Chinese men's basketball team to counterattack in this game where the strength was actually quite different. The silver medalist of the world champion in the last Olympics was the Spanish men's basketball team!
You should know that in the last Olympic final, although the Chinese men's basketball team defeated the Spanish team, they can also be regarded as a hard victory, and the game was not decided until the last moment.
The Chinese men's basketball team was able to defeat such a Spanish men's basketball team, and Wu Dawei's move to return after leaving the court twice also added a legendary color to the Chinese men's basketball team or Wu Dawei's personal show!
For two consecutive times, Wu Dawei helped the Chinese men's basketball team defeat this opponent who they once dared not even think about when the team was mostly behind!
There is no doubt that Wu Dawei's condition at this Olympics has reached its peak! Faced with such an opponent, LeBron James's heart is of course very uncomfortable.
However, he would not hope that he would repeat the same mistakes in the international arena after losing to Wu Dawei repeatedly in the NBA league. So in fact, LeBron James was eager to try this in his heart.
But when a reporter asked him, James knew that he could not express the truest thoughts in his heart. However, LeBron James could not help but answer the questions asked by the reporters, so he could only say "out of his will": "The Chinese team is an excellent team, and they can be said to be the most impressive team at this Olympics. So we will not take it lightly when we play against them."
"LeBron, Wu Dawei performed very well in this game. In fact, it was not just the semi-finals tonight. He performed very well in the last knockout match against France. You and Wu Dawei are old opponents, so will you have any new ways to limit Wu Dawei in the finals? "
The reporter still inevitably led to the topic of Wu Dawei in front of LeBron James. This is also an inevitable thing. Who told them that there are so many personal grudges?
After the initial surprise, LeBron James is obviously much calmer than before. When talking about Wu Dawei's topic, LeBron James just replied: "Wu Dawei played very well. He performed very well in this Olympics. We all know this, so we will definitely find a way to limit his score! This is certain, we will definitely defend him heavily!"
After answering these, LeBron James' mood seemed less high. He said goodbye to the reporter and left the basketball court. Maybe he was afraid that the reporter would continue to ask him some questions about Wu Dawei?
Of course, James would not be willing to answer too many questions about Wu Dawei. As an opponent who has almost never defeated Wu Dawei, LeBron James obviously does not want to do too much entanglement on the issue about Wu Dawei.
For LeBron James, what he has to do now is to prepare for the next Olympic final, and then he will terminate Wu Dawei's legendary performance in the Olympic final!
This is what LeBron James wants to do most at present, and this is what he must do.
Now, in addition to LeBron James and Kobe Bryant, the one who is surrounded by Chinese journalists is Wu Dawei's teammate in the Cleveland Cavaliers and the main center of the United States team Dwight Howard.
When reporters asked questions about Wu Dawei, Dwight Howard's attitude was different from Kobe Bryant and LeBron James. As a teammate, Dwight Howard felt proud of Wu Dawei's performance at this Olympics, and as an opponent, he definitely hoped to represent the American men's basketball team to defeat the Chinese team led by Wu Dawei!
"We all know that Wu is a great player! But this does not scare the United States, because the United States has the most powerful basketball team in the world. We have all prepared to meet the challenges of Wu and his team! I think we will definitely stage the most exciting collision in the Olympic finals!"
When facing the inquiries from reporters, Dwight Howard showed his lucky side. He did not predict the results of the future finals because this seemed too stupid to him, but he still had sufficient confidence in Team USA! (To be continued...)
