Chapter 441:

The opening ceremony of the Rio Olympic Games will be held on August 5, 2016, and the time for Wang Xiao and Hao Peng to report back to China is June 27.
In other words, there is only one month of training time left for the China Men's Basketball Team.
After Wang Xiao returned to China, he immediately convened the coaching staff for a meeting to make overall plans and detailed formulations for the month.
First of all, the two weeks from June 28th to July 11th are the training time within the team, mainly for the tacit understanding of the players, cooperation and tactical running.
In the two weeks from July 12th to July 26th, 5 to 8 warm-up games will be arranged to deepen the players' running-in through competitions and to look for defects in the lineup.
July 27th to August 3rd will be the last week. This week will only arrange the players to conduct the most basic maintenance training, and also arrange to watch the game video, analyze the technical characteristics of the opponents in the group stage and the "sexual" play ,Filling in the gaps.
From the time point of view, this arrangement is a bit tight. After all, there are only 5 to 8 warm-up matches, which seems to be completely insufficient for many assistants.
In fact, in another time and space, before the Rio Olympics, the China Men’s Basketball Team had a total of 19 warm-up matches in the summer, 10 wins and 9 losses, and the quality of the opponents in the warm-up matches was also uneven. There were strong American teams and European teams. , There are also teams formed by small Asian countries with very low standards.
In Wang Xiao’s opinion, this arrangement is of little significance. The main purpose of the warm-up match is to help the players warm up, adjust the game state, and become familiar with the rhythm of the game. It is not used for practice. Arranging a large number of warm-up matches will not only make the players physically exhausted and fail miserably. The game will affect the confidence of the players, but it is not worth the loss.
Like the American Dream Team, they usually arrange a few warm-up games, and more often they still practice in the team.
As for the opponents in the warm-up match, the Basketball Association has given a large list here, including the American team and some European teams.
Wang Xiao didn't even think about it, but first excluded the US team.
In Wang Xiao’s vision, the only opponent in this Olympics is the US men’s basketball team. In terms of overall strength, even if Wang Xiao has been strategizing for so long, the China Men’s Basketball Team is still weaker than the US men’s basketball team. If you want to defeat the opponent, you must To win by surprise, Wang Xiao didn't want to reveal too much information to the opponent himself in the warm-up match.
Even if the main lineup of the current China Men's Basketball Team is basically playing in the NBA, the US men's basketball team has long known the bottom line, but the US men's basketball team cannot judge what kind of chemical reaction these people will get together.
In the earlier group draw, the China Men’s Basketball Team was divided into the death group a, like the history of another time and space. In group a, there is the world hegemonic US team, Australia, France, and Serbia. In the Rio Olympics, the United States, Australia and Serbia all entered the semi-finals, and only Spain in Group B entered the semi-finals.
Being assigned to such a group is a bit disadvantageous for the China Men's Basketball Team, but in Wang Xiao's view, it is not a big problem to qualify.
The fans of China’s basketball team are also looking forward to the performance of the China Men’s Basketball Team in this Olympics. After all, the current China Men’s Basketball team has the most luxurious lineup in history, as well as the strongest coach of the NBA, Wang Xiao. You will definitely get a good result on the field.
Some optimistic fans even think that the China Men's Basketball Team may hit the medal list.
Of course, even they don’t think that the China Men’s Basketball Team has a chance to win the championship. They are more inclined to win a bronze or even silver medal for the men’s basketball team. After all, in their opinion, in addition to the United States team, other countries Not necessarily a team against the current China Men's Basketball Team can win a steady win.

...
The two-week training camp began.
The first thing Wang Xiao started was the team's main tactical training.
In fact, just take a look at the main lineup of the China Men's Basketball Team to know how this team should play.
Point guard Jeremy Lin, shooting guard Cheng Jie, small forward Wang Meng, power forward Yi Jianlian, center Hao Peng.
The strongest of these five is naturally Jeremy Lin, who has been in the best team and best defensive team for several consecutive years. He will be the core of the China Men's Basketball team.
The inner core is naturally Hao Peng who used the David Robinson growth template card.
The current Hao Peng is far from growing to the level of David Robinson's peak, but even so, Hao Peng's inside lethality is unmatched when there is a shortage of powerful centers.
Wang Xiao knows the big roster of the US men’s basketball team. Of course, he also knows that for this Olympics, only DeMarcus Cousins ​​and Dunn are the only insiders for the US men’s basketball team. They are good at attacking and defending. The men's basketball team can think of the best inside match, and these two men are without exception Hao Peng's opponent.
The 12-man roster for the U.S. men's basketball team to participate in the Rio Olympics are: LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Carmelo Anthony, Paul George, Kyle Lowry, DeMarcus Cousins , Jimmy Butler, Dunn, Jamal DeRozan, Klay Thompson, Damien Lillard and Kyrie Irving.
The participation of James and Lillard surprised Wang Xiao, because in another time and space, both of them made it clear that they would not participate in the Rio Olympics.
But when you think about it, it makes sense.
Wang Xiao is not sure why Lillard chose to participate, but it is not surprising that James participated. After all, this is a very shrewd player who knows how to guarantee his value.
In the original other time and space, James just won the third championship at this time, and he won the 73-win Warriors in the finals. There is no doubt that he has reached the pinnacle of his life. Is there an Olympic gold medal against him? There is not much impact in terms of it.
But in this time and space, James’ situation is a bit bad. Although he won an O’Brien Cup last year, it was the only championship in his entire career. In order to add to his honor, James participated. After the Olympics, I want to add another Olympic gold medal.
...
There is no doubt that the joining of James and Lillard is far more difficult to deal with than Harrison Barnes and Drummond Green who should have participated in the competition, but even so, this is the American Dream Team in recent years. The overall strength is the weakest year.
Curry, Harden, Westbrook, Paul and other super first-line guards announced their retirement. The American Dream Team can only send Irving, Lillard and Lorry to the position of point guard. There is also Griffin on the inside. Aldridge, Love, Davis and others announced their retirement.
Although the American men's basketball team still has James and Durant, the two top superstars, this is the best opportunity for Wang Xiao and the China men's basketball team!
