On the afternoon of August 10, the weather was not good and it started to rain heavily in Beijing.

But even so, it cannot resist the enthusiasm of the fans. There are long queues outside the Wukesong Stadium.

In 2008, online ticket purchase was not the main way for everyone to buy tickets, so most people went to the scene to queue up to buy tickets for the evening game that afternoon.

Some foreign fans who cannot buy tickets even raised signs to ask for tickets in the rain.

Well, it is not just the fans of China and the United States who are following this game, which has almost attracted the attention of the whole world.

It is hard to get tickets outside the Wukesong Stadium, and the stadium at night is already crowded.

The match between China and Beautiful Country was arranged at 10 o'clock on the 10th.

Although it was not too late, the fans in the stadium were still very enthusiastic.

CCTV reporters were wearing raincoats outside the stadium, looking at the long team, and swallowing.

This may be the most highly anticipated night since the Olympics, besides the opening ceremony.

This is true. Today, a total of 6 presidents and politicians from more than 100 countries appeared in the Wukesong Stadium.

There are countless stars, and the level of starlight can be said to be the best of Staples.

There are all kinds of people in the domestic and foreign, sports and entertainment circles.

Unlike Staples, even celebrities may not be able to buy front seats.

They are like ordinary fans, hiding in every corner of the stands.

Just scan the camera and it will be a surprise.

Such a scene is indeed worthy of this huge battle.

This is a real big battle!

At this time, everyone was very nervous in the locker room of the Chinese team.

Although the locker room door was closed, the huge sound of calls outside still penetrated the soundproof door and jumped into every player's ears.

Wayne also held his hands tightly together, and the feeling was very different.

He has never played such an important game in his country, which is a completely different feeling from playing in the NBA.

Chairman Yao looked at Wayne and smiled bitterly: "How was he sleeping yesterday?"

"I can't sleep much." Well, Wayne experienced the feeling of tossing and turning to sleep because he was too excited to look forward to the next day.

"Bryant said he couldn't sleep either. I think we may be the two most nervous teams in this Olympics."

Yes, the Dream Team is under great pressure.

This time they came to break the embarrassment of not winning the world championship for seven years.

Therefore, there is no need to make any mistakes.

American fans may not care about the World Basketball Championships, but they still attach great importance to the Olympics.

If this happens like Athens in 2004, fans across the United States will probably take to the streets to march.

"It's normal for Kobe to not sleep. I guess he will ask you after returning to Los Angeles, have you ever seen what you look like at four in the morning in Beijing?" Wayne joked. It turned out that the guys from the Dream Team were also very panicked!

Because... yesterday Paoer also called and said he couldn't sleep!

The players of the dream team you think are just mortals.

It's also a group of mortals that Wayne has defeated.

Don’t scare yourself to death first. If you don’t open your eyes, the Dream Team won the championship as soon as you start this Olympics.

At the 2008 Olympics, Spain sent almost the strongest lineup in history, and was about to fight the beautiful country to the end.

After European and American teams defeated the United States in the Olympics and World Championships a few years ago, the 2008 Olympics were surrounded by wolves and each produced elite talents.

Everyone in the Meng Ba team knows that winning the championship is not something that can be done easily by playing an exhibition match.

When he heard Kobe was nervous, Wayne felt much more relaxed.

What I fear most in basketball games is not that I can’t beat others, but that I am a myth of my own opponent.

Before I could beat myself, I told myself in advance, "You are afraid you are thinking about nothing." Then there is really nothing to beat me.

"The athlete is ready to enter the venue!" At this time, a staff member shouted outside the locker room.

Everyone looked at each other and took a deep breath.

It's time to play!

Walking out of the locker room, the players' passage was filled with reporters and staff, and an atmosphere of war immediately spread.

After Wayne walked out of the locker room, he clapped his hands and raised his fists: "Come on, come all together!"

Everyone was stunned at first, then Sun Yue was the first to come up, followed by Yao Ming, Zhu Ba, Wang Zhizhi...

All the Chinese players' fists were close together, and everyone formed a circle.

"We stand together now, we put our hands together! We want to hand over ourselves to this team, we want to carry the team on our shoulders! Come on, China team!"

After shouting, Wayne took the lead and rushed towards the player's passage first.

Almost all staff and reporters in the passage were applauding the men's basketball players.

As a CCTV reporter, Yu Jia was standing at the entrance of the passage. He slapped every player passing by him, shouting "Come on, come on!"

He shouted very loudly, his face flushed.

Everyone is like facing a big enemy, and you can resonate with everyone present, which is something you will never experience in NBA games.

Wayne led the way to the player's passage. At that time, when he saw millions of five-star red flags waving in the stands outside, Wayne suddenly got goosebumps.

Well, Wayne played in the NCAA for the first time, and when he played under the roar of so many people, he got goosebumps.

The first time in the NBA, he got goosebumps when people cheered for his goals.

When I picked up the O'Brien Cup for the first time, when all the fans shouted "MVP" to him...

But in recent years, there have been fewer and fewer scenes that can shock Wayne.

Unexpectedly, I met another one today!

When the Chinese team rushed out, the whole Wukesong was boiling, and Wayne felt that he was full of strength.

At that moment, he personally felt what "you are not fighting alone".

The players of the Dream Team also happened to enter the court. Before entering the court, Xiao Bushi had just shook hands with the players.

This shows how important this game is.

Leading Wayne and Kobe looked at each other, but neither spoke.

Both sides began to warm up, and Paoer kept looking at Wayne, but Wayne didn't mean to come up and say hello.

If it is an NBA game and meets your old friend, Wayne will definitely go up and say hello.

But on this occasion, Wayne believes that it is not suitable to speak before the game.

Before this kind of battle, you will feel like you are close and showing weakness.

Just as Chairman Yao said: "No matter how we lie down in the end, at least we have to hit them first when we go up."

Well, don’t look at Tu Yao who is usually quite gentle, but his hands are actually black!

In the subsequent national anthem ceremony, when tens of thousands of people stood up and sang together, the state of Chinese players was completely ignited.

In such a situation, it is really possible for a person to perform beyond his level.

"CCTV! Hello, CCTV audience! Now we are in Wukesong Basketball Hall in Beijing, the 29th Olympic Games, the last game of the first day of men's basketball, the Chinese team vs. the American team!

The starting lineup of the Chinese team is now introduced to you. The organizational guard is Liu Wei, the attack guard is Sun Yue, the small forward Yi Jianlian, power forward Wayne, and center Yao Ming!"

Teacher Sun Zhengping's voice rang in the TV sets of countless families. Today, the commentator of the competition was another classic combination of Zhengping Weiping.

When Wayne entered the NBA early, these two often explained NBA games together.

Later, due to the emergence of young people such as Yu Jia, Yang Yi, etc., Sun Zhengping did not talk much about NBA goals.

After all, he doesn't specifically talk about basketball games.

Today, Yunas let Yi Jianlian and Wayne start at the same time. Although on the surface, Wayne is the fourth position and Yi Jianlian is the third position, in fact, both of them are ready to swing at any time.

The position of the forward line is flexible and vague.

"Don't be nervous, play well! The Dream Team is nothing. We played a similar lineup in training camp last summer! Didn't we win too!" Wayne patted Yi Jianlian's arm, and Ah Lian nodded seriously.

Yes, Wayne's training camp last summer already included several members of the Dream Team.

This is not the first time that Yi Jianlian has fought a team of this level.

"Practice well, don't panic for me when you get an opportunity, understand?" Afterwards, Wayne reminded the Great Sage a few more words.

"Don't worry, Brother Wei, I will definitely seize the shooting opportunity today!" The Great Sage patted his chest.

On the Dream Team, the players all looked serious, and their pressure was less than that of the Chinese team.

For China, people’s requirement is to show their level and momentum at the doorstep.

To put it bluntly, less loser means winning.
