USA National Basketball Team’s Dream Team

At the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, the world-famous "Flying Man" Jordan, "Magic" Johnson, Barkley and others led the first "Dream Team" to the Olympic Games. 8 games were fought without a fight, with more than 100 points in each game. No opponent could score more than 85 points in front of the "Dream Team", and finally won all 8 games. The opponent averages a terrifying 43.8 points per game lead. To paraphrase the words of "Dream Team" coach Chuck Daly: "I don't ask for a timeout. I use this method to express my respect for the players." . "The Dream Team's participation in the 1992 Barcelona Olympics shocked the global audience and had an impact on world basketball that cannot be described in words. It became one of the most important events in the world that year. Their lineup is the most powerful, luxurious and classic combination to date. The team has three superstars of the era, namely Magic Johnson, the "black and white duo" of the 1980s, Larry Bird, and Air Jordan, who shined throughout the 1990s. In addition, the eight NBA superstars were all top players at the time. The only one who was not an NBA player was college student Laettner. He was the most valuable player of the NCAA from 1991 to 1992. When he joined the Dream Team, he had already been selected by the NBA. Picked in the draft. In eight games, Mengyi averaged 117.3 points per game and outscored its opponents by 43.8 points per game. This dream team is considered the most authentic classic. Since then, all previous dream series teams have been far less popular than the dream team. Members of the American Dream Team Since 1992, almost all the American men's national basketball teams have been composed of NBA players, so they have been dubbed the "Dream Team". The "Dream Team" is the nickname given to the U.S. basketball team since the 1992 Olympic Games in Barcelona, ??Spain. Since this year, the American NBA professional league has sent professional players representing the world's highest level to participate, so it is called the "Dream Team". The previous Olympic Games were non-commercial sports events, so professional players from commercial leagues such as the NBA were prohibited from participating for a long time. This taboo was broken starting from the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, when the U.S. men's national basketball team organized the U.S. team led by "Airman" Jordan and "Magic" Johnson. They are extremely skilled and invincible. This made the men's basketball team that year a show without suspense. Later, people called this team the Dream Team (nothing to say one or two). Since then, the United States has successively organized NBA players to become the United States national team, and there is also the theory of Dream Two and Dream Three.

The first Dream Team was the "Dream Team" composed of Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, and Arvin Johnson. Every position on this team has at least one player who is arguably the best in the world. Having so many outstanding players on one team is unprecedented! The infinite power of Ewing, Malone and Barkley, the superhuman explosive power of Jordan, Pippen and Drexler, Robinson's agile speed and flexible mind, "Magic" Johnson and Stockton's ingenuity in handling the ball. And creativity, Mullin's wonderful shooting... coupled with the brilliant "Big Bird" Bird's comprehensive skills, such an Olympic army composed of NBA star players will certainly be invincible in the world. It is worth mentioning that its head coach Daly and assistant coach Walkins have also been elected to the Hall of Fame. Therefore, whether it is from the player's talent or the coaching level, the "Dream Team" is the strongest in history. Because this team included almost all the top basketball players in the NBA at that time, it was later called the most powerful basketball team in sports history, that is, a dream team.

Dream Team: Jordan’s reputation spreads all over the world, Barcelona interprets the basketball legend.

The Dream Team has some of the best basketball players in history, especially Michael Jordan. Their head coach is Chuck Daly of the Detroit Pistons.

Fans who know the NBA will never fail to know "The Admirals" Robinson, he is one of the "four major centers" in the NBA, and there is no need to say much about his skills.

But what is most admirable about him is that he can sacrifice himself for the benefit of the team. When Duncan came to the Spurs, he took the initiative to give scoring opportunities to young people.

During the 13 seasons he played for the Boston Celtics, from the 1979-80 season to the 91-92 season, Bird excelled in all aspects of the court. Performance is quite perfect - whether as a scorer, a passer, a rebounder, a defender, a team core, or a key player. Bird is always so confident. As everyone knows, this guy will often waltz to the opponent's bench before a game and tell the opponent that he will score 40 points in the game. No one dares to take this as A joke. Bird was such a deadly shooter that he often deliberately closed his eyes when practicing three-pointers to achieve a training effect. In the era of Bird, perhaps only Magic Johnson did a better job of passing the ball than him. Magic is Bird's greatest enemy and a lifelong friend. The black and white rivalry between these two superstars in the 1980s has become an immortal NBA classic.
