Chapter 1 Why Do They Say Rabbits' Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder Was Caused by Zhong Hua Jia?

August 8, 2008, 8 PM...

Beijing National Stadium (Bird's Nest)...

Accompanying the can formation composed of 2008 people, each strike of the can will emit light to form Arabic numerals...

Under the gaze of more than 90,000 spectators on site and billions of viewers around the world, the opening ceremony of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games officially entered the countdown.

This moment.

Listen to the dragon's roar.

On-site, after the fireworks that lit up the entire Beijing night sky were set off, and amid the actors' singing while striking the cans, the CCTV commentator excitedly said: "Tonight, the stars are shining brightly, and China in August is full of fiery enthusiasm, sincerely inviting guests from all directions and welcoming friends from all over the world!"

Without a doubt.

This is definitely a memory that will be deeply engraved in the DNA of every rabbit in the future.

From Yongdingmen to the main venue, 29 consecutive footprint-shaped fireworks were set off one by one, symbolizing that the 29th Olympic Games were approaching Beijing step by step.

Uh...

But to be fair...

CCTV really deserves to be able to film aircraft carriers as fishing boats.

Because many scenes of this opening ceremony require frequent switching of lenses to better show its grandeur...

So, God knows how many times Su Feng was repeatedly shocked when he looked at various versions of the Beijing Olympic Games opening ceremony in the future.

In Su Feng's previous life, after the Beijing Olympic Games, basically, every four years, YouTube would lament once:

Once, you thought it was Beijing's honor to be able to host the Olympic Games.

But in fact...

Beijing hosting the Olympic Games is the Olympic Games' greatest honor.

On-site, 8:12 PM...

As the military band played the national anthem of the People's Republic of China and the national flag of the People's Republic of China slowly rose, the rabbits who had already stood up couldn't help but proudly stick out their chests.

In 1908, after the London Olympic Games, a Tianjin publication raised three questions when introducing the history of the Olympic movement: "When will China be able to send an athlete to participate in the Olympic Games? When will China be able to send a delegation to participate in the Olympic Games? When will China be able to host an Olympic Games?"

And in 2008, in Beijing, 100 years later, with the joint efforts of countless rabbits, these three questions finally received the most satisfactory answers.

Inside the stadium, after the literary performance that was worth savoring frame by frame, sports delegations from 204 countries and regions began to appear one by one.

And at this moment, Su Feng, wearing a red top and white trousers, also had his brain turn blank in an instant.

Don't ask.

Asking is, it's not shameful to be nervous at this time!

Fortunately, Su Feng's poker face attribute played a key role at this time.

Therefore, after the sports delegations of various countries and regions appeared one after another, looking at Su Feng's upright figure...

The athletes of the Chinese Olympic delegation behind Su Feng couldn't help but sigh:

Brother Feng is too calm!

Beijing National Stadium (Bird's Nest).

Under the spotlight, as the host, who was the last to appear, Su Feng had just walked out of the tunnel holding the flag, and the cheers from the scene shattered the night sky and reached the heavens.

"Mom, Mom, look, look, it's Su Feng, it's Su Feng!"

For Su Feng, this is a small step for him personally.

But for the Chinese Olympic athletes and all the rabbits...

This is a big step for Zhong Hua Jia.

CCTV, the commentator said with passion at this moment: "Now walking towards us is the Olympic delegation of the People's Republic of China, and the flag bearer is our famous basketball player Su Feng."

And it is worth mentioning that...

Although the confidentiality work of this Olympic Games was so well done that even the leader of the delegation did not know who the little boy who suddenly followed Su Feng was... (Note 1)

But because Su Feng had read the script in advance, when this little boy appeared next to him, Su Feng also grabbed his hand. (Note 2)

Helpless.

Even if Su Feng could stir up a bigger wave, he could not change some established people and things. (Note 3)

However...

Su Feng never shirked responsibility in matters within his ability.

Beijing that night was starlit and brilliant.

China that night was full of guests.

Looking at the red that was dyed by miracles on the stands, Su Feng knew that no matter how many times history was repeated, in his timeline, the Chinese men's basketball team only had one possibility: to win the championship.

Because for this day...

As early as 10 years ago, he had begun planning.

And inside the stadium, after circling the field, Su Feng, who led the Chinese Olympic delegation to the predetermined position, also became the object of everyone's scramble for photos.

Putting his arm around Su Feng's shoulder, Yao Ming smiled and said, "How is it? Nervous?"

Hearing this, after letting out a long sigh of relief, Su Feng said, "It's okay, it's just that my legs are a little shaky."

"If everything goes well, we will give the people of the motherland the best gift on the afternoon of the closing ceremony." Patting Su Feng on the back, Yao Ming suddenly said with a solemn expression.

Su Feng nodded and said, "Even if we die, we have to get the gold medal that day."

Yao Ming laughed and said, "Brother Feng, you really still like to put pressure on people."

Kicking Yao Ming, Su Feng looked up and said, "Old Yao, you know me. I've always been a 'Bao Feng Faction' in the team." (Protect Feng Faction)

…

After the grand opening ceremony, Su Feng and his teammates, who had a sleepless night, returned to the Chinese men's basketball team's residence.

Forcibly suppressing all kinds of thoughts in his heart...

9th.

As soon as Su Feng got out of bed, he heard Jia Zhanbo, a famous Chinese shooting athlete who came to visit, telling the players of the Chinese men's basketball team about his legendary championship experience in Athens in '04.

Then involuntarily...

Su Feng subconsciously felt sorry for Matthew Emmons, the famous American shooting athlete and "best partner for Chinese shooting athletes to win gold."

In '04, because he shot the bullet into someone else's target in the last shot, Emmons, who had a huge lead in the first nine rounds, gave the gold medal to Jia Zhanbo for nothing.

And if Su Feng remembered correctly...

At the Beijing Olympic Games, Emmons would replicate his "miracle" in Athens once again.

Of course, you may not believe it if I say it...

Four years later in London...

This guy still couldn't escape the fate of missing the last shot.

Just like how my Pao (Chris Paul) always automatically triggers the injury switch at critical moments...

As an opponent.

You can always trust Matthew Emmons' last shot in the Olympic shooting competition.

And on the 9th, in the Olympic Village, as the five-star red flag was raised again and again that day, the players of the Chinese men's basketball team immediately felt the pressure.

After all, in the Olympic Games, not every Chinese team can be as calm as the table tennis team and sleep until the start of the game...

According to the schedule, the Chinese men's basketball team's first group match against the US men's basketball team will start at 22:15 on the evening of the 10th.

This is a start time to take care of American fans.

As we all know, because the Olympic Games are recognized as the most valuable competition in FIBA events, as the highlight of this year's Olympic men's basketball competition...

When arranging the schedule before, the organizing committee fully considered this point.

Of course, the American fans don't really want to thank the organizing committee for this.

Because in the eyes of many pessimistic American fans, this is simply the rabbits deliberately making them feel bad!

No!

Can't you give us an excuse not to watch the US men's basketball team?

Do you know how painful it is for us to watch them being beaten by Su Feng in international competitions?

Since winning the championship in Sydney in 2000...

To this day...

Not to mention a gold medal...

Even the silver medal, American fans have long forgotten what it looks like.

And interestingly, on the afternoon of the 9th, CCTV's Sixth Princess (a nickname for CCTV-6) also broadcasted a special documentary called "Why Is Chinese Basketball So Strong?"

As a result, after this matter was spread to the American Internet...

Facing the many questions raised by Chinese basketball experts, such as "Why are there so many stars in the NBA, but they are only willing to fight for their country in recent years?" and "Why can't the US men's basketball team, composed of twelve All-Stars, work together?"...

It is gratifying to see that some American fans have already started to blame the "system."

Yes!

This must be the fault of the "system"!

It is because these guys usually earn too much money that they are unwilling to fight for their country!

"Long-standing" Stars and Stripes...

When will we be able to see you rise again in the international arena?

Uh...

Hot knowledge.

Because both sides' national anthems will be played and both sides' national flags will be raised before the start of international matches...

So American fans don't actually need to wait too long to see the Stars and Stripes rise again in the international arena.

On the 9th, with the war approaching, the men's basketball team only conducted two hours of adaptive training in the afternoon.

As the saying goes, temporary cramming is not advisable...

Because the Chinese men's basketball team conducted high-intensity devil training before the start of the Olympic Games, Zhang Bin, who is known as the "Eastern Zen Master," knows very well that the key to letting the men's basketball team recharge their energy on the eve of the final battle is the most important thing.

On the 10th, the first round of the Beijing Olympic men's basketball group stage officially began.

At 9:00 AM, the Iranian men's basketball team, who won the runner-up in the '07 Asian Championships and thus was substituted for the Olympic Games, was hammered by the Russians 49-71 as soon as they came up. (Note 4)

Then, in the century battle between Argentina and Spain, the Argentine Golden Generation and the Spanish Golden Generation also contributed a very exciting game for basketball enthusiasts in front of the TV.

In this game, Argentina maintained the lead until the end.

However, Gasol Jr. completed an incredible hook shot at the last moment of the game.

This hook shot was very similar to the ball he threw in front of Yao Ming in Su Feng's memory...

Losing his balance, Gasol Jr. successfully equalized the score for Spain at the last moment by randomly throwing the ball towards the basket.

Subsequently, in overtime, the Spanish men's basketball team, which was more physically dominant, also took away Argentina in one wave.

And in front of the TV, the American fans who watched this game seriously were already feeling increasingly pessimistic about the US men's basketball team's chances of winning a medal in this Olympic Games...

In fact, from the perspective of the world basketball situation...

If it weren't for the fact that the US men's basketball team sent their strongest lineup in '08, plus Durant's sudden emergence later...

Then, in terms of overall tactical and technical level, they would have no advantage at all when facing European powerhouses.

However...

Su Feng did not dare to underestimate this US men's basketball team led by John Davis.

Because in addition to exceptionally promoting Durant to the US men's basketball team, judging from the US men's basketball team's previous warm-up matches, their tactical focus has obviously begun to shift to Anthony and Ray Allen.

Beijing Wukesong Basketball Stadium.

9:20 PM.

As the basketball players from China and the United States began to warm up on the court, the basketball enthusiasts from both countries, who had been looking forward to it, picked up the bottle of iced cola in front of them with different moods.

And on CCTV's on-site commentary booth, unlike in the past, because Kobe will be the commentary guest tonight, Zhang Zhidao is busy translating for the rabbits in front of the TV.

"I think, after the opening, the Chinese team needs to establish a lead on the court as soon as possible.

This American team is very slow to warm up. As long as the Chinese team can take the initiative in the game, then in the subsequent games, they can use the lead in points to deal with the American team." On-site, looking at the players of the two teams warming up on the court, Coach Kobe said.

And hearing this...

Honestly, it's just that Su Feng can't hear what Kobe said at this moment...

Otherwise, he would definitely sigh...

Kobe's basketball IQ is indeed beyond that of ordinary people.

In fact, in Su Feng's previous life, the problem of this American team being slow to warm up was not solved until the finals.

And this...

Is exactly what the Chinese men's basketball team emphasized the most before the game tonight.

It's the same no matter who is coaching.

Because even the "Western Zen Master"...

John Davis can't possibly turn this US men's basketball team composed of twelve star players into the Dallas Mavericks in a short period of time.

After the NBA regular season ended, because the American team's star players needed to rest, Davis did not take over a complete American team until mid-July.

And in less than a month...

May I ask...

How can their chemistry and tacit understanding exceed the Chinese men's basketball team, whose main framework has never changed in the past few years?

On the court, after the entrance ceremony of the two teams, the big screen immediately gave the starting lineups of the two teams tonight.

American team: Howard, Anthony, James, Wade, Kidd.

Chinese team: Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian, Zhu Fangyu, Su Feng, Sun Yue.

Before the start of the Olympic Games, Davis was originally more inclined to use Tyson Chandler as the starting center of this US men's basketball team.

But after serving as the head coach of the US men's basketball team...

Davis realized at this time...

Coaching a national team is completely different from coaching an NBA team.

Because the chairman of the US Basketball Association, Colangelo, repeatedly emphasized to him that he must respect these American stars who are willing to fight for their country...

So even if the US Basketball Association is dispensable, Davis also knows very well...

If he accidentally hurts Howard's face...

Then you can't let him find some second-rate NBA inside players to serve as the center of the US men's basketball team in subsequent international competitions, right?

What a joke!

The US men's basketball team is a team with a center tradition! (Note 5)

Therefore...

Anyway, Chandler and Howard can't beat Yao Ming...

Then why not give Howard some face?

Davis knew that at this juncture in 2008, apart from the Spanish men's basketball team, there was simply no second team in the world that could guarantee that they could gain an advantage in the paint when facing the Chinese men's basketball team.

So tonight...

If the US men's basketball team wants to go against the wind...

The key is still to see if my Gua, nicknamed "Little Su Feng," is sweet enough. (Gua = melon, refers to Carmelo Anthony)

In the center of the court, Howard and Yao Ming jump ball to start the game.

The Chinese men's basketball team's first attack, with Su Feng personally dribbling the ball across the half court.

And at the same time, the stars of the US men's basketball team also immediately launched a high-post double-team on other Chinese men's basketball players.

In the international arena, only this team can use NBA stars as blue-collar workers.

There is no way, this is the foundation of the US men's basketball team.

Even if they haven't known what a championship is for nearly 8 years...

And facing the US men's basketball team's frantic high-post double-team, the Chinese men's basketball team also directly activated the ultimate move after the opening.

High post, Yao Ming comes up to the top of the arc to set a screen for Su Feng.

Seeing this, Davis on the sidelines was anxious and angry at this moment.

Because at the moment when Yao Ming set a screen for Su Feng, Howard did not follow up in time, so after the pick-and-roll was completed, although Howard and James blocked Su Feng's path together...

But Yao Ming was open at the top of the arc.

In Su Feng's previous life, even the pick-and-roll between Liu Wei and Yao Ming was difficult for other teams to break...

Therefore, let alone the pick-and-roll between Su Feng and Yao Ming?

In Wukesong Basketball Stadium, Yao Ming made a clean shot and successfully scored the first three-pointer of the game for the Chinese men's basketball team!

And on-site, in the cheers of Chinese fans, Yao Ming did not forget to show his leadership qualities when retreating.

After hammering his chest three times in a row, looking at Su Feng, "Leader Yao" commended him by name: "Good pass!"

Su Feng: "..."

Coming back, the US men's basketball team attacks.

The thing Davis was most worried about happened.

On the court, Su Feng did not pay attention to Zhan Bao (Lebron James), who had been peeking at him all night, and Wade Bao (Dwayne Wade), who almost had "I want to match up with Su Feng" written on his face, but instead rushed straight to Gua Bao (Carmelo Anthony), who had an expression of "I am the boss of the US men's basketball team."

I'm sorry.

In FIBA ​​games, not afraid of hurting the hearts of the fans of Zhan Bao and Wade Bao...

But in Su Feng's opinion, Anthony's danger level is higher than these two.

Especially under Davis's command.

On the court, with Anthony being directly locked down by Su Feng, Kidd did not launch the attack according to the plan, but passed the ball to Zhan Bao.

And at this time, Zhu Fangyu had already quietly put his hand on Zhan Bao's waist.

Moreover, after testing the referee's penalty standard tonight bit by bit, Zhu Fangyu, who has always been known for his "reckless man" image, also showed the world at this moment what it means to reasonably use the rules.

In a basketball game, if you don't use the home whistle...

Are you waiting for the opponent to cross the river before fighting you fairly?

May I ask, in the NBA, which excellent defender would not use the home whistle?

Don't ask, asking is that basketball is war, and "Cheng Xin" should all get out! ("Cheng Xin" refers to the protagonist of "The Three-Body Problem" who is criticized for being too idealistic and causing humanity's downfall)

On the wing, under the clamp of Zhu Ba (Zhu Fangyu), James could not form a breakthrough in the first time.

So, the basketball was thrown back to Kidd again.

However, looking at the 1-4 zone defense set up by the Chinese men's basketball team...

Kidd was also in trouble at this time.

Since FIBA ​​allows defensive three seconds...

So no matter how diligently Howard runs, his pick-and-roll cannot attract Yao Ming out of the paint.

In the crisis, Wade's cheeks are still harder than Kobe's head.

At a position slightly to the left of the top of the arc, after asking Kidd for the basketball, seeing that the time for the attack was running out, Wade directly forcibly broke into the paint of the Chinese men's basketball team.

This is a perfect presentation of personal athletic talent.

Because Sun Yue clearly blocked Wade in the first time, but Wade still twisted his knee and successfully bypassed Sun Yue.

And in the restricted area, Yi Jianlian also had no choice but to take the blame for Sun Yue.

Beep!

After Yi Jianlian hugged Wade, the US men's basketball team will have Wade go to the free-throw line to execute free throws.

"Good job!"

However, although Wade used his talent to win two free throws for the US men's basketball team, Su Feng was still very satisfied with this defense of the Chinese men's basketball team.

Because as long as the US men's basketball team is not allowed to gain momentum, then in Su Feng's view, not only must these fouls be committed, but they must also be committed cleanly.

However...

On-site, when Wade walked to the free-throw line, Su Feng was unhappy.

As in Su Feng's previous life.

Because many of the fans who came to the scene tonight were lucky enough to buy tickets based on their luck...

Therefore, how can they be as professional as those moldy pens (Mei Bi - means stupid fans) who often watch basketball?

Inside the stadium, when Wade was preparing to execute free throws, only sporadic boos rang out in the Wukesong Basketball Stadium.

Moreover, on a certain forum, some cloud fans (people who act like experts but don't actually know much) who don't understand basketball even ran over to criticize the fans who were booing at the scene for being immoral and damaging the image of a land of etiquette.

No!

This is a basketball game!

Since you haven't watched a basketball game, can you shut up?

On-site, after shaking his head, Su Feng ran all the way and turned around and jumped onto the technical table of the Wukesong Basketball Stadium the moment Wade was preparing to make a free throw.

Then, after rolling up the magazine he didn't know where he got it from into a microphone, Su Feng roared: "Didn't everyone eat?

This is Beijing, our home court!"
