Michael, are you from the earth?

They know the meaning of "dream team" and they know the meaning of "team" because they are the most talented athletes in the world. They have always appeared as a whole, which can be said to have completely sacrificed personal interests and personal glory. Their biggest and only goal is to do better forever.

1992 At the Barcelona Olympic Games, when the American dream team regained the dominance of world basketball, the concept of basketball got a new interpretation.

The glory of the dream team is so eternal and the ball it plays is so beautiful that other players in the same game will ask such questions: "Michael, are you from the earth?" "Hehe, I live in Chicago." Jordan gave a charming smile.

At that moment, all the critics closed their mouths and stopped criticizing whether professional players appeared in international competitions or the poor performance of college students at the 1988 Seoul Olympic Games. Everyone pays attention to the amazing technology of the dream team, which represents the peak of world basketball.

"People think that such teams are too lethal, but you must understand what they are doing," predicted Mike, the coach of Duke University and assistant to the Dream Team. "We must focus on ten years from now."

Today, on the 0/0 anniversary of Dream Team/KLOC-0, we see the benefits he said: not only four gold medals, but also the great influence of NBA. Today, there are 5 1 non-American players playing in NBA. Among the candidates in the rookie draft 16, there are 4 overseas players, including rookie champion Yao Ming; The management of 29 teams set their eyes on the World Championships, aiming at discovering outstanding players from abroad, especially from China and Africa.

1. The team has finally formed.

Daley, the coach who led the Pistons to win the NBA championship for two consecutive years, became the coach of the "Dream Team 1". He is sophisticated, well-informed, flexible and eloquent. He has found the best player in the league, and Daley is in a dilemma about the choice of Jordan and Thomas in the guard position.

Thomas and Jordan were at loggerheads, and finally Daley reluctantly chose Jordan and replaced Thomas with drexler in Portland. This is Daley's first difficult choice.

There is also a time bomb in front of Daley, that is, Buckley, who was tamed by nature. I don't know when he will go crazy and lead to discord between the teams. This is the case, but at the same time, Buckley also proved that he is an excellent teammate and a competent leader, but he also modestly believes that this is because of the unity of Pippen, Ewing, Mu Ning and leitner.

"In the first dream, everyone was selfless," Buckley said. "I have the most say, because I participated in Dream III (1996), which was a nightmare and hardly called basketball." "Dream One" is the real basketball, which is the most important experience in my life. "

Yes, the long and pleasant journey of "Dream One" began. The June of 199 1 began with the hugging of the players.

2. Failure for the first time

This is the first time that the members of the dream team get together. Daley prepared a warm-up match for them against all-star teams in the university, including chris webber and grant hill. Although Jordan, Pippen and drexler have just returned from the NBA Finals, Daley gave the training order.

Unexpectedly, the young people gave these stars a good kick. They are faster, more energetic and more eager to win than the players in Dream One. "We got kicked in the ass," Daley said. "To some extent, this is a good thing. This shows me what we need-'defense, rebounding and fast break'. That's it. The next day we beat them 72- 10. "

At the same time, it is also a good opportunity for players and coaches to communicate and integrate. After just six days of training, the media and fans have greatly increased their confidence in Dream One and received rave reviews. A week later, the Olympic qualifiers were held in Portland. Media reporters and fans lined up in front of the hotel where Dream One collapsed. More enthusiastic fans chased the star's car, screaming for autographs, even just to touch the player's hand and get the player's nod or smile. Journalists from all over the world multiplied and eventually became a burden to Portland.

"It was really shocking," Daley recalled. "My phone rings 40 to 50 times a day, and often one just hangs up and the other comes back. It really needs to be described as' huge'. "

After pre-competition training, the dream team finally embarked on a journey.

3. Sunshine Portland

The United States has not won an international competition for a long time, and the dream team has received a death order from the league: to win the qualifying championship held in Portland Memorial Arena.

Cuba, Venezuela, Canada ... teams came to try and were sent home by the dream team without mercy. Before a game, the Cuban team composed of college students and physical education teachers asked the unprepared dream team stars to pose for a group photo in the middle of the stadium, which was unprecedented on the stadium. With a little confusion and shyness, the big stars did it. However, in the later competitions, the results of 136 and 57 did not seem to leave Cuba with much goodwill.

"As we expected in China, one finger can't cover the sun." Cuban coach Gardino shrugged. "The dream team is a machine, a nearly perfect basketball machine. We don't feel slaughtered or destroyed, attacked or violated, they can make us progress. This is the most important event in the history of basketball, affecting not only Cuba but also the whole world. "

The dream team won the championship easily. The most interesting thing happened in the match between Argentina and the dream team. Milan Niccio, Johnson's defender, actually yelled at his teammates during the game, reminding them to shoot the scene of the game with Johnson in the camera.

After the game, 37-year-old Brazilian veteran Schmidt sincerely praised the dream team, especially Bird. Schmidt seems to know the Celtic superstar well. He knows everything about Bird, not only his basketball career, but also his birthplace, nickname and even his date of birth: "1956 65438+February 7." Schmidt blurted out without thinking.

4. crazy about Monaco

The dream team arrived in Monaco and was welcomed by the royal family, but the problem appeared again.

This is Magic Johnson's first time to compete abroad. Will the international community accept an AIDS patient? Will he be rejected and laughed at? Dream team members are very nervous.

Facts have proved that worry is unnecessary, and this night belongs to Johnson. The host wearing a tuxedo solemnly introduced the great player, and the audience applauded like thunder. Johnson passed the customs smoothly, and the fans on both sides of the street cheered in unison. In Monaco, whenever Johnson scores, the fans will stand up and show their enthusiasm. Later, fans refused to sit down. They gave a deafening scream, and the sound of "Ma-Ji, Ma-Ji" rolled around the room.

"I like being a basketball ambassador," Johnson said after the game. "People can really understand me."

Johnson will never forget the warmth of that day. Monte Carlo gave the giant a big hug.

5. golden memories

Finally arrived at this day: Barcelona.

The luxury hotel where the dream team is located is crowded with enthusiastic fans and looks more like a fortress on earth.

Armed guards guard the gate, snipers ambush on the roof, all cars are forbidden to approach, and the dream team is protected like a head of state. When traveling, there are a large group of police cars and motorcycles to protect drivers, and they never take the same road twice. "It really caused a little panic," Daley said. "It's like a scene in a novel."

Mike has been used to seeing big scenes all his life, but he has to be surprised. He recalled that his little daughter Tibby arrived at the restaurant that day. "Dad, that's Magic Johnson!" "Tibby screamed," yes, he and his father are on the same team. "I say this. Then she began to cry, and I think she finally realized that she was not dreaming. "

"Dream No.1" was no less than a "Barcelona massacre" on the field, which shocked the whole world. The world never imagined that the advantage of NBA was so great.

In the first game against Angola, the score was "Dream One" 1 16 to 48, which defeated the opponent and scored a full 68 points. Buckley's big ass arched around, 24 points. The second world war was Croatia, which was considered to be one of the strongest teams in this Olympic Games, but it was no good at the "Dream One". "Dream One" 103 70 scored 33 points more. In this battle, Michael Jordan was the best scorer of Dream One, and he scored 2 1 point. Bird is the best player to beat Germany. Although I hurt my back at that time, the score of 19 is not negotiable, and of course it is not negotiable to fight Germany. The score is 1 1 1 68. In the battle of "Dream One", 127 crushed Brazil by more than 83, and "Dream One" was shot by an arrow. Seven players scored more than double digits, and Buckley "arched his ass" to the climax, setting a record of 30 points for a player in Dream One.

At this point, the group stage is over, and the "Dream One" group is the first. At this time, the whole world was impressed by the great charm of "Dream One", and no one doubted that they were the men's basketball champions of this Olympic Games. The subsequent process also verified this point unscathed. In the quarterfinals, the United States beat Puerto Rico by 1 15 to 77. "Left-handed expert" Mu Lin was old when he appeared in the finals of 1999-2000 season, but he was still heroic in the Olympic Games that year. His 2 1 point and left-handed stunt left a deep impression on the world. Lithuania, the semi-final opponent of Dream One, is recognized as a strong team. It has four main players from the Soviet Union, 1988 Olympic champion team. But when it came to Dream One, it was still sturm und drang, 0- 1 1 behind. At one time, it was 8-34 behind in the first half, and finally it lost, 76- 10. Croatia was beaten in the final, and the "Dream No.1" final, which hit the opponent hard in the preliminaries, was still not soft, and still did not give the opponent any chance. 1 17 wins faster than 85. At that time, Michael Jordan showed his true colors when crossing the sea, and scored 22 points in one fell swoop. Flying trapeze is well known to lovers all over the world, and that was at the Barcelona Olympic Games.

This year's Olympic Games "Dream One" horizontal knife immediately shocked the world, eight games? Quot Dream averaged 1 17.3 points per game and earned 43.8 points per game. Croatia, the world runner-up with the smallest gap with Dream No.1, played against Dream No.1 twice and lost with 65 points. What kind of gap is this? "Dream one clearly has NBA players, and the difference between the world champion and the world runner-up is not a little bit. To be exact, there is more than one grade difference.

Postscript:

"Dream One" has at least one player who can be said to be the best player in the world at that time: the infinite strength of Ewing, Malone and Buckley, the explosive power of Jordan, Pippen and drexler, Robinson's quick and flexible mind, the originality and creativity of "Magic" Johnson and stockton in handling the ball, Mu Lin's wonderful shot ... and the comprehensive skills of "Big Bird" bird, and "Dream One" swept the army in Barcelona. Achieved his promise of winning 30 points every game, and all the opponents who fought side by side with him regarded playing "Dream One" as an unparalleled honor. It is the pinnacle of modern NBA, and even today, it is enough to stand out from its peers.

"Dream One" left us with no hollow reputation. They will never "depreciate" or fade in the hearts of every real fan.

They don't have astronomical cheques, and they don't have one scandal after another. They have artistic skills and masculinity. These great men are not only impeccable in technology, but also role models that all parents want their children to learn. They came to the stadium in the darkest era of NBA, and made the cornerstone of NBA take-off with selfless dedication. Their purest love for basketball and the strongest sense of responsibility for the team have propped up the brilliant future of NBA. In the eyes of fans, they are real heroes in peacetime.
