The "Dream Six" saved the Lakers and Kobe. Their poor performance at the Athens Olympics snatched the headlines, diverted people's attention, and inspired fans' strong desire to complain.

The American Basketball Association gave Larry Brown the opportunity to prove himself, and then he helped his opponents prove himself. The teams of "Dream Six" at this Olympics were all happy, and they never thought that NBA stars could be so easy to deal with.

Stadamire did not participate in the competition, and Brown summoned his favorite disciple Ben Wallace to the formation to "save the field", and the ending was already destined.

At the same time, Brown's strict style made it difficult for many players to adapt, resulting in the US team not being able to generate enough cohesion to win the game. This strictness is reflected in Brown's failure to let rookies appear, no matter you are the No. 1 pick, the No. 2 pick or the Tanhua, you don't need to.

You have to tray me even if you are a dragon, and you have to lie on me even if you are a tiger.

I said you can do it, you can do it, and if you can't, you can't do it, you can't do it.

The Dream Team's game is a chaotic battle, and Brown did not respond on the sidelines and rarely called timeouts. He just pinched his waist to watch the ball on the sidelines every game, and brought his own bgm, so he almost danced a dance.

I feel uncomfortable all over when I use a rookie, but I don’t have a big fortune. I feel uncomfortable all over when I am...

The Basketball Association thought it was unkind to drive Brown away without reason, but it turned out to make a big joke.

In Guo Xu's previous life, the "Dream Six Team" lost to Argentina in the semi-finals, and lost a total of three games in the Olympics. The US men's basketball team had only lost two games in the Olympics in total, and they finally got a bronze medal as a fig leaf.

The "Dream Six Team" in this life also lost three games in total, but the losses were even worse.

They lost to Puerto Rico 69-93 in the opening game, and the fans were shocked. The "Dream Team" scored less than 70 points in the game? Arroyo, who is a role player in the NBA, beat Captain America Iverson?

The reality is so nonsense. I didn’t dare to write novels like this a few years ago, for fear of being criticized by fans. Iverson was too dark.

The United States also lost 85-97 in the game against Lithuania, losing double digits in both games and the offense was poor.

Marion had a lot of playing time in the Dream Six team in his previous life, averaging nearly 10 points per game and shooting percentage of more than 50% of the team. This is an important rotation of the team. His strength has also declined without coming to the team's wing.

It doesn't matter if the US loses two games in the group stage, but you can still qualify in the group. Brown did not forget to praise Ben Wallace strongly because he helped the US team reverse Germany's 1 point and win by 1 point. Nowitzki did a great job in the second half. He is the person who can best understand Brown's tactical intentions.

In the quarterfinals, the US team encountered the strong Spanish team, lost 76 to 94 and withdrew from the ranks of competition for medals.

Brown couldn't praise anyone this time and was at a loss on the sidelines. Da Ben faced Gasol, who had shooting range, height and wingspan, could attack with the ball, and could support the passing, and was exposed...

In Guo Xu's previous life, the United States eliminated Spain by Marbury's super-level performance. He did not care about the team's tactics and relied on his personal ability to score one-on-one points, scoring 31 points in the game and led the team to complete a reversal.

This time Marbury did not go to Athens. Brown asked Iverson to hold the ball and attack, allowing Big Ben and Duncan to stabilize the defense, and steadily allowed Spain to maintain the lead until the end.

LeBron James lost his hair anxiously on the sidelines; Wade was so angry that his cheeks were bulging like he wanted to practice toad skills; Cameron Anthony looked at the scoreboard with a dull look.

But no matter how much they want to help the team, they can only sit off the court and be the audience.

Especially Anthony, he had a falling out with Brown in the first game and never played the show again.

In Brown's opinion, Anthony's entry into this team was just an additional advertising model, and what he needed was a tried-and-tested warrior, so even the second-place Okafor played more than Anthony this year.

Brown publicly criticized Anthony for not working hard in training in the media, Anthony kept a distance from his teammates, and Anthony's shooting choices were poor... The old coach couldn't stand this talented but alone boy at all.

After the third game, Brown said: "He did not actively integrate into the team at all. His life must have been very hard at this time, but he still did not take the initiative to adjust. We can see from his training and physical movements. Give a player 2 minutes of playing time, his only move is shooting. Is this team basketball? James only played 7 minutes in that warm-up game against Germany, but he always encouraged his teammates on the bench. What is this attitude? Everyone can think about it."

After the team was eliminated, Anthony also had his own statement: "The shooting is wrong? I don't have any playing time at all. How can I shoot a good basket like this? I have nothing to complain about... It's ugly to lose now. Everyone knows who has the greatest responsibility."

In the end, "Dream Six" won the seventh place, breaking the record of the sixth place set by the "Dream Five" 2002 World Championships. At the most humiliating moment in the history of the American men's basketball team, this team almost occupied the entire team.

In this game, they only had 43.7% of the field goal percentage and 29.5% of the three-point shooting percentage, while their opponents had 48.2% of the field goal percentage and 44.1% of the three-point shooting percentage.

Iverson averaged 15.1 points, 2 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game and became the team's scoring champion, which seemed to be the most reliable one for the team. In fact, he is the person with the most shots in the team, and has the lowest shooting percentage of the team with 37.8%. Marbury did not come, and Iverson shot more.

Brown's defense is not systematic, and Duncan is not valued, so he can only put success or failure on Iverson. He led the Dream Team into the 76ers, and a group of stars watched Iverson make a fuss.

After losing the game, there was a lot of criticism on the Internet.

Speaking of "Dream Six Team"'s lineup is weak? No matter how weak it is, it is still a group of NBA stars. The second-rate star lineup is not as good as other countries. Even if someone plays NBA in those teams, they are basically role players. Gasol and Nowitzki are the only big-name stars.

"Iverson is the core of Brown's hands, but he is a pure blacksmith. He can't beat the magical boy Arroyo of Puerto Rico. Why don't Jason Guo play the Olympics? He has said he hasn't received any invitation at all."

"I didn't ask Jason Guo to play the Olympics and found a cancer to be the captain. The Basketball Association has produced many talents."

"Can Larry Brown use Duncan to Wallace, spray Marbury and Anthony after squirting, and James is a marginalist, and there is still a more amateur coach than him? If you don't have a coach, you won't be like this, right?"

"Brown went to find fault on purpose, right? Those people always rotated, and there was no need for young people at all. The post-match evaluation was similar. They were not ready to play, just like Milicic."

The ending of the men's basketball team has also changed. After eliminating the United States, Spain defeated Argentina with a 5-point advantage under the leadership of Paul Gasol, and defeated Italy 17 times in the final and won the Olympic gold medal.

As the core of the team, Gasol won the Olympic Most Valuable Player Award. He has always played in the inner line. As a big man, he can play singles, support and defend well. He has proved himself in the international arena and signing a big contract in the NBA is just around the corner.

With such an experience of leading the national team to win the championship, Gasol's life is even more different from his previous life. Guo Xu doubts whether the Lakers can trade "Family Sister" to the team to assist Kobe in the future.

Another reporter asked Guo Xu to comment on Team USA and Larry Brown.
