Chapter 456:

The Chinese men's basketball team reached the final for the first time in history, and is about to face the American Dream Team!
This news alone has blown up the entire network and screened all major portal websites of China.
The charm of team ball sports is fully demonstrated at this moment, and even other events that have won gold in China, related news reports are also ranked behind basketball events.
In fact, if men’s football can do the same, it may cause a sensation greater than basketball, but unfortunately, there is no such talented coach as Wang Xiao in football, and there are no world-class players such as Jeremy Lin and Hao Peng.
Whether the China Summer Men's Basketball Team can defeat the American Dream Team in the finals has become a topic of divergent opinions. Some people think that they have won the American team once in the group stage, and they will naturally win in the finals.
Some people also think that the US team lost in the group stage mainly because of underestimating the enemy. In the finals, the monsters of the dream team will definitely go all out. Although the China Men's Basketball Team is also very strong, it is still worse than the dream team. Some background.
On the American NBA side, it is almost universal that the dream team will win.
Charles Barkley, a member of the NBA Hall of Fame and a famous TNT TV host, said:
The United States has two regular season finals MVPs, James and Durant. Isn’t that enough? It has the best and best in the world. It is impossible for the team to lose in such a critical game. I think LeBron and Kevin will definitely stand up in the game and kill the game with their offense."
And when Barkley said this, his partner, O'Neal, the big shark who is often used to countering Barkley for the effect of the show, also agreed with him for the first time.
"Under the leadership of the old K, the U.S. team has long been accustomed to victory. They are familiar with this stage and have a wealth of experience. This is something that the China Men's Basketball Team cannot compare. So even if the current China Men's Basketball Team has 5 NBA players, It is also difficult to beat the US team in the final."
In addition to these two TV hosts, many NBA stars have also expressed their views on this game on their personal Twitter.
But Curry, Harden, Leonard and others are not among them.
The reason is actually very simple. Although the NBA people vowed to believe that the US team will win, the reason that actually drives them to say this is based on their identity.
As an American citizen, it is impossible to support teams from other countries at this moment.
Even if the United States is known as free speech and there are often people criticizing national politics publicly, most people still know what to say and how to do when it is outside.
Maybe if the US team really loses, these people will exhaust all words to describe the US team's failure, but before the start of the game, they will never do that.
And Curry, Harden, Leonard and others are in an even more embarrassing situation at this time.
First of all, as the top superstars in the league, they did not participate in the Olympics due to personal reasons, resulting in the strength of the US team is far less powerful than before.
Secondly, these people are all disciples brought out by Wang Xiao, and they have also won various glory with Wang Xiao. At this time, it is not appropriate to support the other side. If you talk too much, you will lose your silence.
However, in this almost one-sided evaluation, the caring people still found a little difference.
auzw.com When did the American Dream Team participate in such a wide-ranging discussion?
Even in the 2008 and 2012 finals against Spain, I have never seen so many people come out to comment on the victory of the US team, because it is common knowledge that the US team will win. .
...
"So, they are like this because they feel the threat, subconsciously want to use this way to support, but also have the idea of ​​wanting to increase their confidence."
When Wang Xiao said this, there was a slight smile on his face.
Sitting opposite Wang Xiao, Dayao, the two of them were eating at a high-end restaurant in Rio de Janeiro.
"Although you said this more than once, I still didn't expect that you could really lead them to this point." Dayao looked at Wang Xiao, eyes full of exclamation. "In the next finals, whether you can beat the US team or not, you have created a miracle in the history of the China Men's Basketball Team."
Wang Xiao shook his head, "I am definitely going to win. Taking the silver medal is a failure in my opinion."
This was not what Wang Xiao felt, but the system's upgrade requirements.
If you can't win the championship and complete the task of upgrading the system, it will be a failure for Wang Xiao. As for the honor brought by winning the championship, it is only an incidental reward for him.
Dayao was taken aback when he heard the words, and then shook his head and smiled bitterly: "This may be one of the reasons why you can do all this."
Wang Xiao shook his head and said suddenly: "Speaking of which, I want to tell you something. If tomorrow's game can be won, after that, I am going to resign from the position of head coach of the China Men's Basketball Team."
Yao moved for a while, "Resigned from the position of head coach of China Men's Basketball Team? Why?"
"It's not why, it just feels like this is too busy." Wang Xiao smiled: "The work of the NBA head coach is actually quite busy, plus the work of the national team, I basically can't return a few times a year. Home, and don’t forget, my personal problems haven’t been solved yet, so I can’t be a bachelor for a lifetime.

"But..." Dayao wanted to say something, but Wang Xiao took the lead.
"Don't worry, in fact, I am resigning as the head coach. It is absolutely good for you." Wang Xiao nodded the table. "This year's men's basketball performance is so good. The leadership position of the Basketball Association will definitely change. You are going to be promoted. Don’t you want to run for the chairman of the Basketball Association? This is a good opportunity. With your influence, there is a high probability of being elected."
"After you become the chairman of the Basketball Association, my existence is actually not a good thing for you, because all the credit will be considered because of me."
"But in fact, this Chinese men's basketball team is strong because of Jeremy Lin, Hao Peng and the others, not my coaching ability. Even without me, as long as they are still on the team, the Chinese men's basketball team can still compete with the American team. Top team."
Dayao was silent. He understood what Wang Xiao meant, but he was silent for a moment and couldn't help but said: "After the Olympics, there will be a World Cup. Four years later, there will be a new Olympics. Don't you want to lead them to continue in the international arena? Get honors? How many times can these honors be won in a lifetime?"
Wang Xiao shook his head slightly and smiled: "One time is enough."
