Thunder "three little" gathered together
With "Warcraft" Howard, Derek Ross, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh quitting the American men's basketball team due to injuries, James Harden of Oklahoma City Thunder and new champion Anthony Davis were urgently called into the training list. Harden was elected the sixth man of the NBA last season, and he can provide more offensive fire support to the US team as a substitute. Before Harden, his teammates Durant and Westbrook in the Thunder also locked in the quota of the dream team in advance, so the Thunder "Three Little" became members of the Dream Ten Team together. This is the first time in the Olympic history of American men's basketball team that three players have been selected for the same team at the same time (in 2003, Kenyon Martin replaced jazz striker karl malone who was injured and missed, but he was also selected to compete with his teammates richard jefferson and jason kidd, but this event was an Olympic qualifier, not a World Championship or a World Cup). Durant and Shao Wei were both selected for the dream team. They won the gold medal on behalf of the United States at the 20 10 World Championships in Turkey, and Durant also won the MVP title of this competition. Harden's selection was a bit lucky, because his selection benefited from Ross's injury and Wade's withdrawal.
Little Ai was selected to break the doubt, and the former Philadelphia "First Brother" put on the Olympic shirt.
In the list of 12 released by Dream Ten Team, the most controversial one is Little Ai Andre Iguodala. Although he is the first player selected by the Philadelphia 76ers for the national team since 2004, his low-key style and personality make him questioned. "I'm curious why Dream Ten chose Iguodala to join the team?" "Because his name is' One Brother'." Fans tease. But in fact, Shangguan was determined to recruit him because he took a fancy to his defense. He didn't intend to compete with his teammates at all. "Maybe others don't do much because I specialize in defense," Iguodala said with a smile. "I practice a lot of different defenses every day. As long as I play, I will tirelessly run around the court, steal, defend, put pressure on my opponents and make them make mistakes. People used to call me Pippen. Indeed, I am trying to learn his defense. " Although the 76ers have changed a lot in the summer, Louis Williams and Elton Brand have left the team, but Iguodala has not been considered by the club for the time being. He said that he would cherish this hard-won opportunity and concentrate all his energy on helping the US team win the championship. As a result, the United States reached the final and beat Spain to win the Olympic gold medal, but Iguodala failed to escape the big shock in Philadelphia. On the day before the decisive battle in London, he was traded from the 76ers to the Denver Nuggets.
New "Wolf King"
Among the 12 members of Dream Ten Team, Kevin Loew, the new "Wolf King" of Minnesota Timberwolves, is the only player in this team who has no NBA playoff experience. The reason is that the Timberwolves' overall record is not good, and they have never entered the playoffs since he joined, but Loew is an unconventional center with comprehensive skills and won the "three-point king" in the All-Star Game at the beginning of the year. Therefore, in Dream Ten, he may be allowed to shoot 3 points on the outside to make room for his teammates. Loew said: "Being selected for the dream team certainly means a lot to me, and we will fight for the gold medal." "When I was a child, I watched not only the basketball games in the Olympic Games, but also all other events. This is the way to feel patriotic and be part of the country. Even if you are not a sports fan, you will love watching the Olympics. "
Davis, a new rookie, went to war for his country.
Due to the accidental injury of power forward Griffin (torn cartilage in his left knee, surgery will be performed), inside player anthony davis became the candidate to replace Griffin in the top draft of 2065 438+02 NBA. In the warm-up match against Dominica, Davis played 10 minutes and scored 9 points. He also scored in the warm-up match against England. "I'm very excited to finally have a chance to go out," Davis said. "I hope Griffin is all right." Colangelo, the head of the American men's basketball team, expressed his belief that Davis can replace Griffin well because "he is such an excellent boy". Davis's fans like him very much, and there is a saying, "We want an eyebrow!" " "slogan." If you love this sport, you will be nervous, "Davis said. But we played with a relaxed mind and had a good time. ""He played well, "Bryant said." This is an excellent opportunity for him to feel the atmosphere of the game. "
This will also be the last time for 34-year-old veteran Kobe Bryant to represent the American men's basketball team in the Olympic Games. Because Howard, Aldridge and Bosh were injured inside, Odom took the initiative to quit. The inside height of this dream team is relatively short, and I'm afraid they will play a more important role in the small lineup. In this regard, Kobe is not worried. He said frankly: "When a player is injured, you have to make adjustments and give play to your advantages. For the problem of height, everyone will always think of rebounding ability. In fact, there are many rebounding experts in our team, and everyone can rebound, including me, James and Paul. "
This dream team brings together veteran gold medal players such as Kobe Bryant, LeBron and Anthony, as well as newcomers such as Durant and Westbrook. Kobe believes that the running-in of the team is not a problem, because they have excellent coach Shashevski, and the team can achieve a smooth transition. "He is a great communicator and it is easy for him to play football."
Mike krzyzewski (1born on February 3rd, 947 in Chicago, Illinois), nicknamed Coach K, is the head basketball coach of the famous American basketball institution Blue Devils Duke University, and has trained many NBA stars. Coach K is now the head coach of the American Dream Team, who led the team to the Beijing Olympic Games.
Some NBA teams tried to bring him in. Boston Celtics, Portland Trailblazers and Los Angeles Lakers all talked to him specifically, hoping that he could switch to the professional basketball field, but each time he refused a contract worth millions of dollars.
On the morning of 2011116, in an NCAA game, Duke University was led by Coach K (nicknamed Coach K) to beat Michigan State University at 74: 69, thus winning the 903rd NCAA coaching career. Therefore, he surpassed bob knight, a legendary coach and his mentor, and became the coach who won the most coaching victories in the NCAA First Division. It also set a record again.
