OS Beijing 2008 Paralympics Olympics Pekin

Spanish team stood tall in the 1^st half of the game, keeping the Dream team far from flying with the scores. Spaniards’ defensive strategy was starting to cause trouble for the States when it switched from Zone defense into court pressure putting the Americans into a state of tension, especially with the last 2 minutes of the 2^nd quarter. Europeans are fighting the Americans with their own weapon: pressure defense.

The Spanish NBA star Pau Gasol (Los Angeles Lakers) is leading Spain under the basket, and had earlier announced while being spotted on sport news and on TV that this is his last game with the National team because of pressured NBA schedule that’s not keeping him anytime to relax.

Calderon, injured during an earlier game, was pushed into the field for emotional purposes, not to mention that he scored a 3 pointer while bringing back his team into the game.

Both teams enduring from few annoying whistles blown by the referee, who was clearly trying to ease the tension; an excuse maybe for easy shrills?

As the 2^nd quarter came to an end, Spain’s players were decreasing the US lead that circled around the 15 points into only 6 with mad expressions on the faces of Lebron James and friends.

Navaro led the flamingos in the 3^rd quarter that was all about fighting over every single ball. His penetrations under the basket were hard to contain with Spain bringing the best of the game, as the lead came to a single basket of difference.

The last shift of the game wasn’t different at all. The States kept on heading the numbers but the toreros’ bid on wiping American smiles paid off! The game was so intense and close that none of the players had the occasion to show teeth before the last minute.

Spanish basketball players are worth respect: Rudy Fernandez’s slam over Dwight Howard was a spark for the crowds who were on feet as the arena trembled with cheering the 2 points difference in score. Spain and its NBA stars were a thin line away from creating the blow and seizing control over the game that appeared to be a confrontation between 2 NBA teams, but Kobe Bryant’s MVP title was put into action to show what he is really made off! Despite the group motion of the Europeans, USA’s skills out-put the European school and took back the gold into America… a moment that’s been much awaited since Sydney’s 2000; USA basketball Jerseys are the Olympic champions, a bet that’s been set, further more anticipated since the beginning of the Beijing games and just got cashed in gold.

What started like a simple bidding was turned into a matter of reputation and dignity for the NBA basketball that just showed who’s the MAN!!!

Unwilling to go home empty handed, USA stroke again, this time leaving a South American sufferer: Argentina.

Argentina is gold medalist of Athens 2004 Olympics beating USA in final game

At the final whistle, it was 101-81. If you are a math fan, Tango boys will definitely be the toughest rival.

No one has preserved a winning average of 20 points, and it is considered a victory after diminishing the score average of the eagles that was 30.4 points.

Disaster stroke in the 1^st quarter as Manu Ginobili suffered again from his left pre-injured ankle. The Argentineans rapidly found a new leader: Andres Nocioni!

Nocioni who started on the seats, was also distressed from a knee injury but was pulled in for the rescue! At half time, Tango was only trailing by 9 points despite the wounds in its line up and the fact that they scored 10 points more than the Dream team in 2^nd quarter. Luis Scola was the absolute man of the game, leading the score sheet with 28 points and 11 rebounds.

USA’s key to success was in defense by out-rebounding the Southern team 43-32 and in successful offense jumping over the 100 points. Carmelo Anthony scored 20 points leading the US team while Lebron James hit 15 dots.

NBA basketball jerseys will reface Spain in the final match, the winner takes it all. There’s no room for 2^nd place in American Philosophy and that has been clear since the arrival to Beijing. As for the Spaniards, it is pay back time and a chance to take the smiles off the faces of Kobe Bryant, Lebron James, Dwayne wade and the rest of the chain; that’s an uncertain bet placed by the Toreros and a pledge to their fans and nation, however, sports betting sites are recording some approvals on the Spanish adventure that’s counting on a bombshell in face of the Dream team 5!!

The dreams of some are the nightmares of others…

Germany begging for sympathy while US warriors break up earth under German feet! What was that? A training session? Or a serious match? 49 points of difference to mark the outstanding formation of Coach Mike and honor his well respected being among the body built American basketball jerseys!

Crowd was on feet, the stadium was red hot, and it was Show time. This was beyond imagination, knocking down all the sports betting and odds. Sports news are definitely going to headline the German humiliation of Nowitzki and friends.

With swimming new legend Michael Phelps (8 gold medals) between the crowds, Dream Team saluted the new champion in the same impressive way! They offered him a MASTERPIECE game.

Lebron James scored 18 points, while Dwight Howard made 22 added to Bryant’s 13 marks.

This kind of domination in the Beijing’s basketball tournament has been witnessed back in 1992, the date of launching the Dream Team that uncluded the NBA’s most impressive players, such as Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Charles Barkley, etc.

German betting on Nowitzki was a total failure: he just completed a very stressful, yet substandard Olympics!

This Wednesday, Dream team will face Australia in quarter finals.

Domination remains, dream team nomination is finally for real. Eagles unleashed in a game of Eagles poles against Spain were incredibly thrilling and supernatural, sucking all the intensity out of the Spaniards and turning the game into their own approach. Yellow basketball jerseys were forced into 28 turnovers, in face of the most ferocious defense, talking of China’s wall!

Although including a number of NBA players, and European stars, Pau Gasol and Spanish mates were left behind in  keeping count, suffering from a poor field score percentage (6of 28 in long range shots), turnovers and slow movements! Americans were faster and better:

Lebron James scored 18, dwayne wade and Anthony (4 of 6 in 3 points shot) ended up with 16 points each. 8 of the US lineup were “score wise” double figured.

Pau Gasol uncertainty about the team’s performance during the game was faced by a relief in the Yankees side who made it clear that they are getting better!

The declaration can be understood in 2 ways:

• 1- The dream team can be much stronger and violent in tearing apart every opponent.
• 2- A clear alert and a loud warning for challengers to seek silver or bronze, nothing else.

As for the sports betting sites, the leader on sheets is way ahead of the others. USA looks like the best bet in men’s basketball tournament.

The special thing about the game is that everyone was waiting for it. Every single basketball player, or fan, every TV channel, sports news channel, sports betting sites and panels, and definitely the players themselves, who were prepared and set to face Greece in a special way.

Why?

Greece had knocked out Uncle Sam’s boys in the world championship, who weren’t going to keep it unspoken! Americans unquestionably wanted retribution, as much as the media wanted it too. A huge campaign was launched preparing for this game with 1 foremost heading:

Will USA revenge?

The basketball jerseys are resting on the well built Americans, who were physically and mentally better in the game. The Bryant-Wade-James combination left the Greeks speechless and the crowds emotionally eager to see more supernaturalism… Yankees gratified the whole world, when Lebron James finished a stolen ball in a backward dunk breakaway slam dunk, and 360 degrees flex jam.

That wasn’t all for the public! Wade-Bryant Alley-oop enflamed the numerous thousands in the stadium as well as millions watching it live on TV: Kobe came flying before smashing it into the rim.

US players felt really confident, with Kobe scoring his 3 points shots from the NBA customary line, with a Dwayne Wade almost unstoppable.

Kobe Bryant led the score by 18 points, Lebron James ended with 13 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 block shots. Both were pressed on by the cherished Wade coming to an end with 17 points, 6 steals, 3 rebounds and 5 assists.

Jason Kiss was into the foul trouble early, but the incredible defensive job made it look so easy for the USA, who declared after the game, that they were more aggressive and better. It is so rare to feel that a dream team needs a revenge match, but this time they managed to get their ego back!

Smashing Greece was half of their duty, gold medal is the new mission to accomplish.

As expected, and as formulated bets were expected to be, the dream team took the advantage since the very first quarter, dominating the basketball court and crowds to achieve the 2^nd successive win in Beijing, against Angola by a significant advantage of 21 points.

Lebron James’ dominance was clearly perceived, backed by the 19 points of Dwyane Wade, and Dwight Howard’s 14 dots, despite falling short from the 3 points line.

Coach Mike Krzyzewski and his players took a long look at the Greeks’s warm up and game, and declared, along with many players’ statements, that Greece is next to fall. The results and supremacy of the leading squad in the world wide ranking in basketball are regarded as a fierce warning, to all the rivals wearing basketball jerseys in the Olympics: beware our magic! We’re here to win, and we are 2^nd to none.
