What do the so-called "Dream Eight" and "Dream Seven" mean in the Olympic Games?

Brief introduction of American men's basketball dream team

[Edit this paragraph]

Since 1992, almost all American national men's basketball teams are composed of NBA players, so they have been named as "dream teams". "Dream Team" is the nickname of American basketball team since 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games. Since this session, the American NBA professional league has sent professional players representing the highest level in the world, so it is called "dream team". In the past, the Olympic Games was a non-commercial sports event, so professional players under the business alliance of NBA were banned from participating for a long time. This taboo was broken from 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games, and the American basketball team organized the American team led by Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson. Their superb skills and invincible skills made the men's basketball team a performance without suspense. Later, people called this team the Dream Team. Since then, the United States has organized NBA players to become the American national team, and has had two or three dreams.

In a narrow sense, the dream team usually refers to the American men's basketball team that won the gold medal at the 1992 Barcelona Summer Olympics. Because this team included almost all the top basketball players in the NBA at that time, it was later called the strongest basketball team in sports history, that is, the dream team.

Of course, the emergence of this dream team is due to the help of FIBA to some extent. 1989, FIBA changed the original rules of the game and allowed professional players to participate in international basketball events for the first time. Therefore, the American Basketball Association immediately recruited a large number of excellent players from the NBA and formed a brand-new American national men's basketball team.

Since then, this team has won six regional qualifiers in the United States, and let the world appreciate the strength of American basketball. So the dream team finally became the representative of the American men's basketball team and got the opportunity to participate in the Barcelona Olympic Games.

At the same time, the dream team in a broad sense refers to all previous American men's basketball teams that have represented the United States in the World Basketball Championship and the Olympic Games since 1992 (note: teams that have participated in the 1998 World Basketball Championship are generally not considered as dream teams).

In fact, the dream team has witnessed the arrogance and pride of Americans to some extent, because not any American team can be called a dream team. With the rapid development of international basketball, American basketball has lost its past dominance. If you don't want the dream team to be a joke, the American Basketball Association still has a lot to do.

Team Mengyi

[Edit this paragraph]

The first dream team was the "One Dream Team" composed of Michael Jordan, larry bird and Arvin Johnson. In this team, there is at least one player in every position who can be said to be the best player in the world. It is unprecedented for a team to have so many excellent players at the same time! The infinite strength of Ewing, Malone and Buckley, the explosive power of Jordan, Pippen and drexler Superman, Robinson's quick speed and flexible mind, the ingenuity and creativity of "Magic" Johnson and stockton in handling the ball, Mu Lin's wonderful shooting ... and the comprehensive skills of "Big Bird", such an Olympic team composed of NBA star players will surely be invincible in the world. It is worth mentioning that its head coach Dali and assistant coach Warkins were also inducted into the Hall of Fame. Therefore, the "dream team" is the strongest in history in terms of player talent and coaching level.

Jordan's fame spread all over the world. Barcelona played a basketball legend.

Dream Team 1 has the best basketball players in history, especially Michael Jordan. Their head coach is chuck daley of Detroit Pistons.

Because most of them are young players in the NBA, they are not as attractive to fans as their predecessors, but the dominance of the dream team is as always.

Mengsi team

[Edit this paragraph]

With the rapid development of world basketball, it is a dream that Sydney, the fourth team, will encounter a defensive battle.

Since the late 1990s, more and more players from other countries outside the United States have become NBA superstars, and basketball in these countries has gradually attracted people's attention. Therefore, Dream Team 4 undertook the task of maintaining the dignity of American basketball. This team is once again made up of NBA players. Although there are several superstars among them, many players can only be regarded as second-rate.

Led by head coach Rudy rudy tomjanovich, Dream Team 4 participated in the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games. Their first two wars were all victories, but then the gap between their opponents and them became smaller and smaller. The 85-76 victory over Lithuania in the group match was the first time that the dream team did not beat its opponent with a double-digit score.

The biggest shock to the dream team was to beat Lithuania 85-83 in the semi-final. If Lithuanian star sarunas jasikevicius hadn't hit a three-pointer on the whistle before the final, Dream 4 would have even won the semi-final. Dream Team 4 defeated France 85-75 in the final and won the gold medal. Although Dream Team 4 successfully defended its title at the 2000 Olympic Games, it was from then on that the Dream Team began to lose its invincible aura.

Player list:

4- steve smith, Portland Trailblazer.

5- Jason Kidd, Phoenix Suns

6- Houston, Allen, new york Knicks.

Team Wu Meng

[Edit this paragraph]

The American dream was shattered when the league superstar refused to play for his country.

This dream team (if it deserves this title) was formed for the World Basketball Championship held in Indianapolis, USA in 2002. Under the command of head coach george karl, this team actually only finished sixth. This is the first time that the American men's basketball team with NBA players has left the champion behind in international competitions.

Different from 2000, many top NBA players refused to play for their country, so the American Basketball Association had to choose second-rate players as the main players to participate in the competition.

The humiliating result in 2002 made many NBA superstars agree to participate in the 2003 America's Cup (that is, the 2004 Summer Olympic Games Americas qualifiers). They easily won the first place, and in the following summer, they qualified to enter Athens, Greece. These players include O 'Neill, Kobe Bryant, Duncan, O 'Neill, Kidd, Carter, Allen, Iverson, McGrady, Malone, Garnett and Bibby. However, due to various reasons, only two of 12 people finally went to Athens, and the temporary Dream Six Team was a complete failure.

Team Liu Meng

[Edit this paragraph]

Terrorism becomes a stumbling block, dream six Athens bid farewell to the gold medal dream

The head coach of Dream Team 6 is Larry Brown. Although the team is regarded as a "dream team" because it is an NBA player, after watching their performance, I am afraid the media will no longer use this name. Of course, some media also call it "nightmare team".

Before the Olympic Games, Meng Liu was defeated by Italy 17 in Cologne, Germany. But two days later, in Cologne, Meng Liu relied on Allen Iverson's super three points to pull the German game into overtime. For the first time in the world, the dream team has become so fragile. The strength of Americans was verified in Athens on August 15, 2004. Puerto Rico defeated Dream Team 6 92-73 in the opening match of Athens Olympic Games. This is the third defeat of the American men's basketball team in the history of the Olympic Games, and this is the first time for the dream team. Puerto Rican star carlos arroyo set off an offensive frenzy, which shows that international basketball has caught up with the pace of American basketball.

After narrowly defeating Greece and Australia, the American men's basketball team lost to Lithuania. At this time, they are 2 wins and 2 losses in the Olympic Games. Sarunas jasikevicius, who missed the three-point whistle four years ago, scored 28 points for Lithuania this time.

With the 89-53 victory over Angola, the Dream Six team won the fourth place in the group and was the lowest ranked seed team in the group. In the quarter-finals, the Americans showed an advantage in the face of Spain, which had won a total victory before. With Stephon Marbury's score of 3 1, Meng Liu beat the Spaniards with 102-94 and excluded them from the medal competition.

However, there are some signs in the game that Dream Team 6 may lose the game later. Sure enough, in the semi-final, they were eliminated by Argentina with 89-8 1, completely cutting off their hope of winning the gold medal. Later, Meng Liu defeated Lithuania with 104-96 in the bronze medal contest, ending their Olympic tour. This is the third time that the American men's basketball team failed to win the gold medal in the history of the Olympic Games, but it was the first time against the dream team. Before 2004, the American men's basketball team lost only two games in the Olympic Games, and this time it lost three games.

Player list:

4- Allen Iverson, Philadelphia 76 ers.

Stephon Marbury, new york Knicks.

6- Wade, Miami Heat.

7- carlos boozer, Utah Jazz

8- Cameron Anthony, Denver Nuggets

9- LeBron James, Cleveland Cavaliers.

Commonly known as 2 years 1 dream, 1998 world championships, the American team sent college students to play, which is not a dream team. It started in team 7 Dream and will be changed to 4 years 1 dream in the future.

Dream Seven was originally established to complete the task of the 2008 Olympic Games, so I think this discussion is not so practical, and there is no dream eight team at all. Although the American Basketball Association released a rumor before the World Championships last year, if it fails to win the championship, it will completely reorganize the current national team list. But in fact, it seems that we haven't seen the reshuffle of the national team.

So everyone has reason to believe that unless there are accidents such as large-scale injuries. The basic members of the American team in the 2008 Olympic Games are still the existing so-called 22+3 list, and the only thing worth discussing is which of them will be excluded in the end.

In addition, the list is as follows:

22 players have country names:

Center: Amar'e Stoudemire (Sun), Brad Miller (King) and Dwight Howard (Magic).

Forward: Anthony (Nuggets), Battier (Rockets), Bosh (Raptors), Bowen (Spurs), Brand (Clippers), Kobe Bryant (Lakers), Josh Howard (Mavericks), James (Cavaliers), jamison (Wizards), Johnson (Eagle), Rashard Lewis (Supersonic), Marion (Houston).

Defenders: Wade (Heat), Redno (Supersonic), Chris Paul (Hornets), Billups (Pistons), Arenas (Wizards).

Four people with three sides: O 'Neill, Morrison, Lei Dike and Auden.
