On January 24, Beijing time, according to ESPN reports, the American Basketball Association has sent invitations to about 60 players to form the 2021 Olympic Dream Team.
The invitation list covers almost all the major players in the league. According to the schedule of the Tokyo Olympics in July, the members of the US team may not include the players who participated in the finals at that time. According to reports, at the center position, Bam Adebayor and Christian Wood both received invitations. Since it contains most of the big-name players, then the people with heads and faces who can call their names should be among them!
There have been reports that the Tokyo Olympics may not be held on time. They have postponed the 2020 Olympics to the month of 2021 due to the epidemic, but nonetheless, according to the previous Olympics starting time around July 20 If you refer to the NBA schedule for this season, it may have just finished the finals or even not finished, so it is likely that many players will be absent!
Current U.S. players, the most luxurious 12-man squad they can come up with I think is this: starting Curry, Harden, Durant, James and Brother Big Eyebrows, the bench is Lillard, Irving, George, Leonard, Adebayor, in addition to this can also recruit young people such as Treyang, but the final list is definitely not like this.
Even if the NBA season is over, there will be people who choose to decline invitations due to contract, rest, injury and other issues, but James, who is almost 37 years old, has expressed his opinion. According to Associated Press reporter Tim Roynolds, he was reported last month When asked about the Olympics, he said, "It's still possible, not a zero percent chance, I will say that. I love coach Bobo."
But anyway, the American players are against the Olympics The importance is much higher than that of the World Cup (Basketball World Championships). In the 19th World Cup, many players declined invitations, but Curry, Clay, Harden, Lillard and others all expressed their desire to represent the US team in the Olympic Games, including Curry, he Said that I won the NBA championship and the world championships,He wants to win the Olympic Games and hopes to be invited.
The lineup of the 19th World Cup is really star-free. The leader is Kemba Walker, with a group of young players. The Olympics will definitely not be like this. If they win the championship again, they will have their 4 consecutive Olympic championships!
