Almighty Athlete Chapter 173: Awards

The time of the game is in the afternoon in the country, while in the United States on the other side of the earth, it is early in the morning. For the American people, the early morning is obviously not the prime time to watch the game, not to mention the opponent is the Chinese men's basketball team. In the eyes of Americans, the outcome of this game is already doomed, and the US team will inevitably have a crushing advantage Get the final victory. Because of this, there are not many American spectators who can stay up late to watch the game.

But the game still needs to be broadcast, and considering the presence of Yao in the Chinese team, ESPN also invited the former coach of the Rockets, Van Gundy, as a guest speaker.

Since Van Gundy was dismissed from the Houston Rockets last year, he has not continued his coaching career, but has been active in various fields as a guest speaker. Van Gundy, who is more conservative in his coaching style, is a very talkative person. In addition to his professionalism as a senior NBA coach, he has become a famous commentator.

The American men’s basketball team lost the game, and it’s an American that didn’t feel like it, and Van Gundy did the same, but as an explanation, he still has to continue talking about it.

"Mr. Fan Gandi, why do you think our American men’s basketball team will lose to the Chinese men’s basketball team in this game? To know that we are clearly superior in strength, our game time is the domestic afternoon, and in The United States on the other side of the earth is the early morning. For the American people, the early morning is obviously not the prime time to watch the game, not to mention the opponent is the Chinese men's basketball team. In the eyes of Americans, the result of this game is already doomed. The team will inevitably win the final victory with a crushing advantage. For this reason, there are not many American spectators who can stay up late to watch the game.

But the game still needs to be broadcast, and considering the presence of Yao in the Chinese team, ESPN also invited the former coach of the Rockets, Van Gundy, as a guest speaker.

Since Van Gundy was dismissed from the Houston Rockets last year, he has not continued his coaching career, but has been active in various fields as a guest speaker. Van Gundy, who is more conservative in his coaching style, is a very talkative person. In addition to his professionalism as a senior NBA coach, he has become a famous commentator.

The American men’s basketball team lost the game, and it’s an American that doesn’t feel like it, and Van Gundy does the same, but he has to continue talking about it.

"Mr. Fan Gandi, why do you think our American men’s basketball team will lose to the Chinese men’s basketball team in this game? To know that we are clearly superior in strength, are there any places where we are not doing well? Is there something wrong with our tactics?" the commentator asked.

For Van Gundy, this question is actually a question that is not easy to answer positively. He used to be a basketball coach. He pointed out another coach’s tactical command as a coach, and the other party was still Shashevsky. This kind of famous coach is definitely not suitable. However, Van Gundy is also a very smart person. Instead of talking about Shashevsky's tactical arrangements, he answers with less importance:

"I think the only problem we have is to underestimate the enemy! Our tactical arrangements are no problem. With our strength, any tactics can win, but we lost, we did not lose to the Chinese team, we are We lost to ourselves, we are too weak!"

I have to say that Van Gundy's speech was very artistic, and he made a good excuse. Obviously lost to the Chinese team, but in Van Gundy's mouth it became "lost to himself", presumably many American audiences listened to this, the mood will be a lot better.

Only Van Gundy continued: "In the first half of the game, we obviously did not take it seriously. After all, the other party is the host. We also have to take care of their face, otherwise we will get 30 points in the first half. Lead the way! There will be no later events."

"And in the second half of the game, Zhang Guan became the winning point of the Chinese team. Zhang Guan showed top personal ability in the game. I mentioned that his style of play may be very suitable for survival in the NBA. In addition, I want to say One thing is that Zhang Guan's luck is really very good, especially in the final lore, he actually made a shot! Zhang Guan is a player who will only break through and not shoot, even his free throw percentage has just passed half. , But he hit a three-point lore. Obviously, this is a manifestation of luck." Van Gundy said with a show of hands, showing a helpless look: "With China's strength, even if we underestimate our enemies, It can be won. We could have won this game with a little bit of luck. So I think that rather than belittle our enemies, it is better to say that the Chinese team’s luck is awesome!

Van Gandy’s remarks are obviously very marketable in the United States. The American team lost to themselves, not to the Chinese team; the Chinese team won not because of strength, but because of good luck. Such remarks instantly made Americans' self-esteem battered stand up again.

And Van Gundy took a breath. He was born in the coaching family. His father and brother are both basketball coaches. He started his coaching career in 1985. He once served as McDeron and Pat- Assistant coaches such as Riley and Elder Nelson, as well as the head coach for more than 10 years, once led the New York Knicks to the NBA Finals. With his curriculum vitae and vocational education experience, how could he believe what he "lost to himself" and what he believes is "lucky opponent"? What he just said, even he did not believe it, that is, the ordinary people who flickered in the United States. Because he has to say this, sitting in the position of commentary guest, of course, he has to find a reasonable explanation for the loss of the American men's basketball team, and this explanation must also be able to make the American audience sound happy.

To make the American audience happy, Van Gundy obviously did it, and he did a very good job. He is a boastful person who can change the law, which is also a big reason for his confusing narration in basketball. However, the self-confidence that the American audience has just picked up again was dispelled again by the following award ceremony.

Because their president is awarding the American men’s basketball team.

......

Looking at the neatly arranged silver medals, President Xiao Bu now feels hot on his face.

I am the President of the United States, the most prominent person in the world, but I can only issue a silver medal!

The American men’s basketball team standing across from us, the team with the strongest players from the world’s strongest basketball country, can only win a silver medal!

The first article made President Xiaobu feel ashamed, and the second article made President Xiaobu feel ashamed. What is even more abominable is that these two articles are now added together. The sense of humiliation that this brought to President Xiao Bu is obviously one plus one is greater than two.

At this time, President Xiao Bu regretted very much. He felt that he had nothing to do and asked what to give the award for the American men's basketball team. Isn't this a shame for himself?

President Xiao Bu actually doesn't want to be the guest of honor, but he has already spoken. If he doesn't come, it will be even more embarrassing. After all, his position is there. If he puts it in a feudal society, his words are equivalent to the decree. What he said is what he said, and there is no joke. If he repents, he will definitely come to the door to see the official of the imperial court .

Although it is not a feudal society now, the identity of President Xiao Bu is based on Jun Wuxi, and he said this in front of the comrade and the FIBA ​​President. .

Anyway, it’s embarrassing, so let’s stick it!

President Xiao Bu is also a person who has seen the world through storms and waves. After eight years of the president's down, he hasn't learned anything else, and his face must have grown thicker. What's more, it's just a little shameful now. It's much more embarrassing to think about the time when shoes were thrown back then.

"Yes, I have a worse time!" President Xiao Bu comforted himself constantly. He picked up the silver medal and hung it on Kobe's neck.

......

"Look, this is President Xiao Bu! Is he going to award?" said an American audience who was still in front of the TV.

"Oh my God, our president came to the stage to give awards, and his solution is only a silver medal! So who will award the gold medal? Who has a higher status than our president?" This is another TV before the United States The voice of the audience.

"Isn’t the President of the United Nations awarding a gold medal? Huh! What is the President of the United Nations, how can it be compared to the status of our President!" The American audience told the truth~IndoMTL.com~ Compared to two wars launched President Xiao Bu, the president of the United Nations looks so pale and weak.

But now, this president, who is more powerful than the president of the United Nations, can only give the second place a silver medal!

......

On the podium.

This is not the first time Kobe has seen President Xiao Bu. The NBA has a tradition. The team that wins the NBA championship will be received by the President, so Kobe has also seen President Xiao Bu many times. In addition to him, Wade has also seen President Xiao Bu.

But this time, Bryant did not receive the euphoria when he was received at the White House because he only got a silver medal.

President Xiao Bu gave a silver medal to the players with a smile, and he couldn't wait to leave, then the comrade was happily awarded a gold medal to the national team players. The joyous celebration at the scene made President Xiao Bu feel embarrassed.

"This **** awards ceremony, this **** Olympics!" President Bu Xiao kept cursing. (To be continued.) Activate new URL
