Chapter 48 The Olympics start

The six American Dream teams participating in the Athens Olympics are actually mixed. The five superstars O'Neal, Kobe, Tracy McGrady, Ray Allen and Kidd did not participate in the Athens Olympics.

However, the lineup of the Dream Six team is still luxurious. Iverson, Marbury, Duncan, LeBron, Wade, Anthony, Boozer, Marion, Stoudemire, Odom and Richard Jefferson are all top-tier NBA stars , which also includes superstars and future superstars.

Sitting idle in the car was also idle, Zhang Guan began to analyze the American Dream Team Six.

I saw Zhang Guan stretched out a finger and said, "First of all, Kidd didn't come. Who will organize this Dream Six team? Are you counting on Iverson and Marbury?"

As guards, Iverson and Marbury are not good at organizing, but their style of play is not the style of a point guard.

Zhang Guan stretched out his second finger: "Second, if Kobe, McGrady, and Allen didn't come, the Dream Six's outside firepower must be insufficient. When encountering an opponent with a three-pointer, they are likely to rush to the street. Everyone must be aware of this." Know."

Meng Liudu has a problem with outside shooting. Everyone knows this. None of the guards on this team is particularly accurate in shooting. The current 03 golden generation has just played in the NBA for a year, and their skills are not as comprehensive as they will be in the future.

"Third, the inside line of the Dream Six team is too weak." Zhang Guan continued.

"Wait, I don't agree with this point. The US team has Duncan, Stoudemire, Boozer, and Okafor inside, but they are not weak." Bada said.

"Don't forget that this is the Olympic Games, and the international rules are implemented. Don't forget that there is no three-second defense in the international rules." Zhang Guan then stretched out his fourth finger and said: "The next thing is the fourth point, the international rules Without a reasonable collision zone, the interior must be full of people, which is equivalent to abolishing the offensive methods of James and Wade. Iverson and Marbury can only choose jump shots. I think this American team mainly relies on individual ability to play singles. "

What Zhang Guan said can be analyzed by ordinary basketball coaches and even senior fans. However, because the national men's basketball team was divided into Group A and the Dream Six team was divided into Group B, the two teams could not touch each other. Therefore, the men's basketball team did not analyze the Dream Six team, and the players did not know much about Dream Team. The real situation of the six teams.

There were basketball players in the car, and the mention of basketball seemed to open up a chatterbox. Zhang Guan made such a head start, and the car suddenly became lively.

...

Although the opening ceremony of the Athens Olympic Games will not be held until August 13, many sports, such as football, have already started ahead of schedule.

On the evening of August 10th, Athens time, the Olympic football group match officially started. The women's event was held that night. In the women's group F match, the women's national team was beaten 8-0 by the German women's football team. You must know here Before, the spinach company gave the national women's football team a 1:3.5 odds of winning the championship, and the 8:0 fiasco was completely beyond everyone's expectations.

The next day, the men's football match also started. The first match was the men's group A and C team's contest. There was nothing unpopular in this day's game, and all the teams that should win won. It's all a handshake.

At 8:30 on August 12th, Athens time, the men's football group B and D games will start. Italy and Portugal, the two favorites to win the championship, will debut on this day.

William Hill UK.

Thomas, the deputy director of intelligence analysis, sat with his colleagues. In front of them, four TVs were placed, simultaneously broadcasting the four games of the Olympic men's football group B and D.

Thomas used to be a scout for a small British football club. Later, the club was acquired and Thomas left. With his football knowledge and technical analysis ability, he successfully entered William Hill, a well-known British gambling company, and has now been promoted to intelligence analysis. Deputy Director position.

There is a three-hour time difference between the UK and Greece. In addition, it is August and the UK implements daylight saving time, so it is not time to get off work at this time. However, Thomas and his colleagues are destined to work overtime during the Olympic Games. Yes, their job is to watch the group matches of the Olympic football events, analyze the strengths, strengths and weaknesses of each team, and write an intelligence analysis report as soon as possible, and send it to the data department to formulate the odds for the next game.

In Paraguay's game against Japan, Paraguay broke through Japan's goal in just 5 minutes of the start, which made Thomas feel that the game should lose suspense soon. Costa Rica played against Morocco, the two teams were dawdling and still testing each other. In the match between Italy and Ghana, the two teams quickly entered the state as soon as they came up. This was also a fast-paced game. As for Portugal against Iraq, it was selectively ignored by Thomas.

"The players of the Ghanaian team are very active, which is different from what we expected. I thought that the Ghanaian team had declined, but now it seems that this young Ghanaian team is still very good, and it is likely to become a dark horse in this group. Let's pay more attention." Thomas said to his colleagues.

Thirteen minutes into the game, Portugal led Iraq 1-0. It was Iraqi backcourt player Kareem Abdul-Jabbar who scored a goal for Portugal, which was an own goal.

On TV, the Iraqi team looked frustrated, and the Portuguese team didn't look too happy, and they didn't even celebrate after scoring a goal. For Portugal, taking the lead against Iraq was a given, and it was an own goal, so there was nothing to celebrate.

"This game is over. The difference in strength between the two teams is too great. Guess what the final score will be? 5:0? 6:9? 7:0? Or 10:0? Poor Iraqis, they I have just experienced a brutal war, and I will be bloodbathed by Portugal on the football field. I think the Portuguese team should let the poor Iraqis go and score fewer goals." Thomas said, very sympathetic

An own goal was scored in the opening thirteen minutes, and the opponent was a strong Portugal. No one thought that Iraq could win. Some people even think that it will be a great torment for Iraqi players to stand on the field at this time.

Three minutes later, while the Portuguese fans were still reminiscing about their own goal just now, Iraq's Emad Mohamed broke through the Portuguese goal and equalized the score for Iraq.

"Iraq scored a goal!" Thomas was only slightly surprised, and then relaxed.

"The Portuguese relaxed their vigilance because of the own goal just now, but this is also good. Let the Iraqi score a goal in the World Cup, which can be regarded as an account to the Iraqi people." Thomas thought to himself.

The Portuguese team, which was equalized, seemed very impatient, especially Cristiano Ronaldo on the front line, who frequently asked for the ball, and the Portuguese team's offense frequently put great pressure on the Iraqi goal.

"According to this rhythm, the Portuguese team should be scoring soon! The game will still be one-sided." Thomas once again focused on the Italian team.

In another game, Shinji Ono scored a goal in the 22nd minute of the Japanese team to help the Japanese team equalize the score, and only four minutes later, Cardoso of the Paraguay team scored the goal of the Japanese team, Paraguay 2:1 ahead of Japan.

"Paraguay is leading again, and Portugal is about to score!" Thomas looked at the match between Portugal and Iraq, but found that Iraq was counterattacking with the ball.

"Huh? What's the matter with the Portuguese defender? You should go to the defense quickly! Follow up! Foul! Not good!" Thomas yelled.

Portugal's goal was breached again. It was Iraq's Halvar who scored the goal, and the Iraqi team led Portugal 2:1.

"Iraq actually took the lead? What's going on." Until then, Thomas began to watch the performance of the Iraqi team seriously.

"Although the Iraqi team's skills are rough and their coordination is average, their speed is very fast and the players are running all the time. Tactically speaking, the Iraqi team's style of play is very simple, without very complicated coordination." Thomas described Iraq's The situation is recorded in his notebook.

Portugal, which fell behind in the score, launched a fierce attack, and Ronaldo, the core of the Portuguese team, was also very active. But unfortunately, luck does not seem to be on the side of the Portuguese team.

"Cristiano has the ball, he breaks through and shoots! Oh, what a pity, hits the post!"

"C Ronaldo shot from the front of the penalty area! Ah, it's wide."

"C Ronaldo broke into the penalty area, the Iraqi team did not dare to foul, the goalkeeper attacked and shot! Beautiful save!"

For the rest of the first half, Ronaldo showed his superb skills and extraordinary talent, hitting the post more than once.

In other games, Ghana took the lead in breaking Italy's goal in 36 minutes. In the 37th minute, Cardoso of Paraguay scored twice, and Paraguay led Japan 3:1. The game basically lost its suspense.

Towards the end of the first half, Bosingwa finally equalized for Portugal. On the other side, in stoppage time, Ghana's Pirya helped Ghana lead Italy 2:0,

Thomas leaned back on the chair, the small notebook in his hand had already been filled with records, but his expression was serious.

Iraq drew 2:2 with Portugal, and Ghana led Italy 2:0, all of which exceeded Thomas' expectations, which can be said to be an upset. For intelligence analysts like Thomas, unpopularity means that they have to do more intelligence collection work, which increases a lot of workload.

After a short break, the second half began.

In the 49th minute, Pinch of the Italian team pulled back a goal, and the Italian team was still 1:2 behind Ghana.

In the 51st minute, Boa Moore of the Portuguese team received a red card.

Boa Mott played in the Premier League, so Thomas is very familiar with him. Thomas knows that Boa Mott is famous for his violent temper, and at this moment Boa Mott also paid the price for his recklessness.

"The Portuguese team seems to have a bit more fouls, and now there is one less person, and the situation is not good now." Thomas said.

...

Athens, Olympic Village.

In order not to affect the rest of other athletes, Zhang Guan went to the Athletes Activity Center in the Olympic Village to watch the match between Iraq and Portugal.

Watching the referee draw out the red card on TV, a smile appeared on Zhang Guan's face.

"History has not changed, and it is still the case. The Iraqis are going to win. But what is more important is the unyielding will and the spirit of daring in the heart. This is the spirit that athletes should have!" The football team, which always supports unconditionally but always disappoints itself, sighs helplessly.

"Forget it, don't complain, let's think about happy things!
