The Almighty King of Sports - Chapter 773
At this time, it was just over 5:30 in the afternoon.
Because it is summer, the sky is still bright.
When he arrived on the court, Wang Fei took a look. There were only a few people sitting sparsely in the stands.
“There are too few people, right?” Wang Zhelin said.
“There is more than an hour left before the start of the game, and the audience probably haven’t even entered.” Li Nan said.
“The Japanese are very conceited. There is a Japanese men’s basketball game tonight. It is estimated that many fans will go to see that game. No one is normal for our game with Serbia.” Yi Jianlian said.
“Forget it, regardless of his attendance, let’s play the game well,” Wang Fei said.
“Yes! With this mentality, let’s start practicing.” Li Nan greeted.
Under Li Nan’s greetings, the Hua Guo Men’s Basketball Team began to warm up for training.
Li Nan stood by and pointed loudly.
After ten minutes of practicing this way, the Serbian men’s basketball team also came to the court to warm up.
Wang Fei took a peek and found that after the Serbs came to the court, they did not immediately start to warm up, but came to the China Men’s Basketball team.
“Wang! Let’s meet again, it’s nice to meet you!” Jokic shouted at Wang Fei.
Jokic and Wang Fei are actually not very familiar with each other.
But since the other party came to greet so enthusiastically, Wang Fei stopped training and shook hands with Jokic and said a few words.
Serbia’s lineup is basically all the main players in place.
They are still tall and mammoth, and they are generally more than two meters tall.
After a few words, everyone began to separate and continue warm-up training.
Because the opponent has come, Li Nan also stopped tactical training and changed to shooting to warm up.
Shooting is naturally the most important training.
Because the score determines the winner!
Helping players find their feel before the game is the most important task of the coaching team.
At more than 6 o’clock in the evening, Wang Fei found that the audience began to pick up people quickly.
The stand, which was originally few people, quickly filled up.
And most of those who came in to watch the ball were Hua Guo fans wearing Wang Fei jerseys and holding the Chinese flag in their hands.
The Olympic Games is the most important sporting event in the world, and naturally it has attracted the attention of people all over the world. Because the distance is relatively close, during the Olympic Games, hundreds of thousands of Chinese people will come to Japan to travel and watch the games.
“I’m going! This is going to become our home court.” Guo Ailun looked at the red stands and said.
“Yeah! Most of them are from our country, this can be seen at a glance!” Yi Jianlian also said while looking at the stands.
“Awesome! I was just worried that the stadium was empty during the game, but it’s good now, it’s almost full,” Wang Zhelin said.
Wang Fei also smiled and said: “I know that our fans will never forget us.”
As Wang Fei said, raising his hand was a quick 3-pointer.
“puff!”
The ball goes into the net with precision.
There was a burst of cheers in the stands.
“Wang Fei! Come on!”
“Wang Fei! You are awesome! The first half of the football match with the Japanese was really exciting!”
“I love you! Wang Fei! I want to give you a monkey!”
Wang Fei heard these shouts from the stands, and he also smiled and waved to the fans.
The atmosphere is very good, which easily arouses the passion of the players.
On the Serbian team’s side, Serbian players are also looking at the spectators in the stands.
“A lot of Chinese people! They all support the king, don’t they? Now, this stadium looks a lot like the home of the Chinese national team.” Bogdanovic said enviously.
“No way, their country is very close to Japan, and they have a large population.” Nemania Belica said helplessly.
“It’s okay. When we played abroad, we never enjoyed home treatment, but we still won countless strong teams. Tonight, we must still be able to win! Gentlemen, before playing this game tonight, Wang, He has already played a football game, so he should be physically exhausted now. I don’t think he should be able to cause us too much trouble tonight.” Nikola Jokic said.
“Yes! Wang must be exhausted. He played half a game against the Japanese team. The entire Chinese team had to rely on him to attack and score. He was also closely defended and confronted in that game. So, tonight may be an opportunity for us. I believe we can definitely win! This should not be a problem!” Bogdan Bogdanovic said.
This Serbian team is led by Bogdan and Jokic, who are currently the best Serbian players in the NBA.
Warm up is complete.
Both teams returned to their locker rooms to take a break.
The war is about to start.
At this time, the stands in the arena were basically full of people.
Visually, Chinese fans accounted for more than two-thirds.
The Japanese audience is relatively small, only less than one-third, and they have been cut into small pieces.
Next is the appearance ceremony.
The Chinese Men’s Basketball and Serbian Men’s Basketball played at the same time.
The DJ on the scene is obviously based on the Chinese men’s basketball team.
When Wang Fei appeared, the DJ yelled with passionate voice: “Gentlemen, we are walking on the court with our most popular NBA superstar in Asia: Wang Fei! He has won two NBA championships so far! Moreover, he has won two consecutive championships in scoring, assists, and steals! At the same time, he also won two regular season MVP and finals MVP! His reputation illuminates the world! Fans all over the world are crawling on him. At the foot, he is the well-deserved king of basketball at present! He is the pride of our Asia! Cheers for him!”
“Wow!”
The whole arena is boiling.
People shouted and applauded.
The sound almost lifted the ceiling of the arena.
Wang Fei smiled and motioned to the stands.
The shout of “MVP” resounded throughout the arena.
This appearance is unprecedented.
In contrast, when Nikola Jokic and Bogdan Bogdanovic played, there was no such momentum.
This makes Jokic a little depressed.
“Wang, do you have anything to say to your fans?” The live DJ took the microphone and walked towards Wang Fei.
This is the trend for Wang Fei to say a few words.
Wang Fei naturally did not refuse, he leaned over the microphone and said, “What I want to say is, enjoy tonight’s game! Because this will be a classic battle! There are many greats in the Serbian team that I respect. Players, they have all made a name for themselves in the NBA! I feel very honored to be able to play against them in the Olympic Games! Of course, I will do my best to play this game! We are here to compete. Gold medal! We will win! Please rest assured my fans! I will not let you down!”
Wang Fei’s remarks were full of enthusiasm, very passionate and inspiring.
“Wow!”
The stands were boiling again.
“Thank you!”
Wang Fei waved to the stands.
This is really an exciting time!
Wang Fei had watched live broadcasts of many Olympic basketball games before, but he didn’t expect that now, as the protagonist, he stepped onto the Olympic stadium.
Playing in the Olympics is to win glory for the country!
This meaning is no more than winning the NBA Finals!
The short appearance ceremony passed.
Wang Fei and his teammates returned to the sidelines to prepare for the game.
“The opponent is taller and stronger than us, which means that our inside attack will not be smooth! Or as I said before, I hope everyone works hard to play more outside. When the outside is opened, we will be guaranteed to win. Now,” Li Nan said.
The players nodded.
Li Nan looked at Wang Fei again and said: “Wang Fei, I don’t recommend you to pass more unless you have a good chance! Otherwise, I still hope you will take more shots! Don’t worry, I will let someone do a pick and roll for you. , And strive to make you have a more relaxed shooting opportunity.”
“I see, Director Li.” Wang Fei nodded and said.
As for the Serbian team, Serbia’s head coach Alexander Djodevic also explained to his players at the end: “We must guard against their outside shots! This is the top priority! Guard against outside shots. We can suppress their offense and we can play our own rhythm! Therefore, perimeter defense is very important! And Wang Fei’s defense is the top priority! Although he has just finished a football game, he must be a little tired. However, as long as his touch is still there, then he will pose a huge threat to us! We are all big men. Defending him is a misplaced defense. If one person can’t prevent it, then two. We must always put up a defense in front of him. The strong wall prevents him from having a chance to easily make a move. Also, the opponent’s pick and roll should also be paid attention to! The opponent will definitely pester us frantically. At this time, we must be brave to fight!”
Players from both sides are on the stage.
Wang Fei walked in the forefront.
Go to the middle of the court and prepare to jump the ball.
Jokic stood at the jumping point and decided to face the competition with Wang Fei.
Jokic was born in 1995, he is 25 years old this year!
This is his first time participating in the Olympic Games.
He played well in the NBA. People gave him the nickname “Yue Teacher”. The teacher is tall and skilled. Although his figure is thinner, his skill makes up for his lack of body.
He can score, rebound, assist, play low on the inside, shoot three-pointers on the outside, and back-to-back confrontation has been developed.
So far, he basically has no shortcomings.
Wang Fei walked to the jump ball point without hesitation.
This is the tradition of the Chinese national team.
This time, naturally, it is no exception.
He and Jokic stood face to face.
The height difference between the two is obvious.
However, Jokic did not dare to take it lightly.
With a solemn expression on his face, he said to Wang Fei: “Wang, the Olympic games are very cruel. If I offend you during the games, please forgive me.”
“It’s okay.” Wang Fei said with a slight smile.
“Beep—”
The referee blew his whistle.
Jokic reacted very sensitively. He jumped up and slammed into Wang Fei.
It is to use the body to bully the other person.
If you don’t hit me, then I will make full use of my advantages.
This is what Jokic thought.
Wang Fei naturally saw the other party’s intentions early.
As he jumped, he turned and drifted in the air, avoiding Jokic’s impact, and then he slapped the ball to his defender Guo Ailun.
Guo Ailun caught the ball, and he immediately began to rush forward.
Wang Fei floated to the ground, and he ran towards the half court of the Selvia team.
Serbian defender Bogdan chased after Wang Fei.
And Guo Ailun was also tightly defended by Serbian defender Varisie Misic.
In short, Guo Ailun did not play fast in this fast break.
When Wang Fei accelerated, he ran to Guo Ailun’s side.
Guo Ailun quickly passed the ball to Wang Fei.
Misic, who defended Guo Ailun, also hurriedly switched his defensive targets and began to keep a close watch on Wang Fei.
After Wang Fei caught the ball, he didn’t stop, and he flicked off Misic nearly two meters away.
Then, Wang Fei also came to the bottom corner on the left.
Wang Fei jumped up and adjusted it in the air, raising his hand to make a three-pointer.
Selvia’s 1.98-meter defender Misic rushed to a distance of 1 meter from Wang Fei. He jumped up and hit the ball with a big wave.
Wang Fei saw that Misic’s finger almost rubbed the ball he had thrown.
I rub!
This speed is really fast.
Wang Fei was taken aback.
“puff!”
The ball passed Misic’s fingertips and flew firmly into the hoop.
Three points, go in!
The opening game was a 3-pointer, which fully demonstrated Wang Fei’s fiery touch.
The fans in the stands cheered again.
“Ding!”
At this moment, a reminder sounded in Wang Fei’s mind.
