On July 10, Beijing time, the US men's basketball team released a brand new team training photo. The atmosphere seemed to be relaxed and pleasant. The big brands were all smiling when they got together, but the only one person had a unique temperament, and this person was Durant!
Let’s take a look at Lillard, Mengmeng Green, Bill and others, and they were all laughing out loud. Unlike the big NBA games, it is difficult for these stars to have the opportunity to sit together and practice basketball and joke, because most of them belong to different teams and can only be enemies on the court. The schedule is dense and there is no time to chat. On the contrary, the US Men's Basketball Training Camp brings everyone together, which is a good time to communicate feelings. Of course, it is not ruled out that you are discussing recruitment and other things!
The unique temperament is Durant, the biggest superstar of the American men's basketball team! Without James, Kobe, Curry and others around him, he is the absolute trump card of this team, and the team's first choice when encountering troubles. According to previous reports, in the confrontation match, Popovich lamented that Durant was invincible in the mid-range shot and almost made every shot. However, Durant, who did not play in the game, seemed to be closer to us ordinary people, and liked to browse social media and watch beauties!
was interviewed after training today. He said that he made the decision to play for the country before the Nets lost to the Bucks! There are three reasons: I want to play for Popovich, but I haven’t been to Japan, but in high school, a Japanese friend took this opportunity to find him. The third reason is that he likes to play! Zhui Meng Green said, "I know he will definitely come because he simply wants to play basketball."
It is worth mentioning that before the Olympics, the US men's basketball team had a series of warm-up matches, using competitions instead of training, and the opponents were the teams participating in the Olympics this time. 8 days and 5 games, let's take a look at the schedule:
July 11th at 8 am VS Nigeria
13 at 8 am VS Australia
14 at 6 am VS Argentina
17 at 6 am VS Australia
19 at 9 am VS Spain
Although the US men's basketball team has a great chance of winning gold, it is not entirely stable. The teams entering the Olympics have NBA stars. International games are different from NBA rules. The US men's basketball team has also suffered a Waterloo, such as losing to Argentina in 2004 and Greece in 2006, etc. If you cannot fall into a single fight, you still have to rely on the team.
Since Booker , Holiday and Middleton are still in the finals, there will be three selection team members in this warm-up match to play, namely Spurs' Kelden Johnson , Cavaliers' Darius Garland and Pistons' Sadiq Bay.
