  多么美妙的一个夜晚!(本文专供搜狐专栏,请勿转载)

  之所以这么说并不是因为这个比分,而是因为五棵松体育馆的球迷对篮球的真挚理解和他们本身的激情,尽管他们打心底里明白这场比赛只是篮球超级霸主美国队吹响回归号角的序幕,但他们多么希望看到自己国家的球队能够创造奇迹啊!包括姚明、易建联、孙悦、朱芳雨等人在内的中国男篮队员也很清楚自己的使命,那就是拼尽全力让中国队成为国际篮坛的一支劲旅。昨天晚上是一个让人们钦羡篮球这项世界性运动的机会,在赛前介绍双方球员时,科比-布莱恩特竟然得到了和姚明一样多的喝彩和支持,当时的场景简直无法用语言来形容。和中国其他的篮球迷一样,昨晚出现在五棵松体育馆球迷们都非常懂球,而且对NBA有着绝对的热爱。当勒布朗-詹姆斯每次灌篮后看台上响起震耳欲聋的掌声时,你又能如何来表达那种激动的心情?这是一个多么热爱篮球和NBA的国家!

  小组赛的抽签结果不得不说是美妙的天意:美国VS中国,球迷最喜欢的球队 VS 祖国的球队,还有身兼中国最伟大篮球明星和中国最称职公民之一的姚明 VS 高高在上的“梦八”巨星。然而实际上,这样的对阵或许并不是组织者和球迷所希望看到的。当昨天晚上美国队以31分的优势(101-70)取得最终胜利时,你不会太在意当前所发生的事情,而是会去想,中国篮球能在未来带给我们什么样的惊喜。

  中国队的表现足以令他们骄傲。在姚明被美国队球员层层包夹之时,他们却用传球打出了一场令人印象深刻的比赛,尤其是在比赛的初始阶段。中国队队员似乎很喜欢3分线:球队最开始阶段的得分大部分都是依靠3分球所得,直到比赛结束,包括姚明在内的不少于6名中国男篮队员在比赛中投进过3分球。易建联和王治郅这两位拥有NBA经验的球员,在加入国家队后变得更加成熟,两人都投进了4个3分。赛后中国队承认,3分球并不是他们最初的战术,但当姚明被以德怀特-霍华德为首的美国队队员紧逼得寸步难行之时,中国队不得不改变战术。

  此后面对突如其来的困难,这些球员开始慎重起来(你可以想像,当CBA比赛中你的队友被一个像科比-布莱恩特这样的球员防守时是怎样的情景)。前锋朱芳雨明白,这场比赛对中国队来说是一堂非常好的教学课。“看NBA比赛时,我会紧盯那些在场上和我打相同位置的球员,比如詹姆斯和科比。这场比赛是一次认清自己与NBA球星之间的差距的绝好机会。”

  这场比赛同样也是发现中国篮球未来潜力的好机会。球迷的支持没有问题。在奏国歌仪式时,似乎所有球迷都在唱着《义勇军进行曲》,但当美国国歌奏响时,却几乎听不到歌声。然而当美国队员送上一次次华丽的表演时(实际上的确很华丽,赛前新闻发布会时有记者曾问老K教练梦八到底会将球技“炫”到何种程度,现在可以说,实际比赛时的“炫技”可比老K承诺得多多了),球迷们则陷入一阵阵疯狂,你甚至无法再对他们要求什么了。

  这就是美国队与中国队的比赛中呈现出最美好的东西。虽然美国队在实力上要远胜中国队,但这场比赛还是充满了竞争、兴奋和激情。所有球员都表现得很好,球迷也沉浸在了幸福之中。中国队队员应该已经触摸到了他们的未来,现在对于他们来说,最艰苦的一场比赛已经过去,德国队和安哥拉队才是当务之急。而对美国队来说,这场比赛又一次证明了NBA在亚洲的受欢迎程度,甚至远远高于此前某一些人所预想的。或许在很多年以后,那些与父母一起看过昨晚这场比赛的孩子们能够将中国篮球带上一个新的高度。

  换句话说,昨天晚上的比赛没有失败者。

  原文:CHINA-USA MEN'S BASKETBALL By Mary Nicole Nazzaro

  What a night!

  It wasn't the score that lit up the night at the Olympic basketball arena at Wukesong, but the energy and intimate basketball knowledge of a crowd that hoped for the home team to pull off a miracle, but knew at heart that they were watching a stunning work in progress for the United States' resurgence as an international basketball superpower. China will get there; Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian, Sun Yue, Wang Zhizhi, Zhu Fangyu and the rest of Team China will be sure that they do everything possible to make China an international basketball power in its own right. But last night was a night to admire the world sport that basketball has become while also letting it all hang out for the team that could be called visitors in name only.

  How else can you describe it when Kobe Bryant gets almost as many cheers in his pre-game introduction as Yao Ming? The crowd at Wukesong was like the rest of China's basketball fans: knowledgable and absolutely in love with the NBA. How else can you explain the cheers from the crowd with every LeBron James dunk? This is a country that loves basketball, and loves the NBA.

  When the draw for the men's basketball preliminary rounds was announced, the matchup was just too good to be true: the United States versus China, the favorites versus the home team, Yao Ming in his dual role as China's greatest basketball player and one of its finest citizens, versus the swagger of the NBA's American superstars. But in reality, this wasn't quite the matchup between two powerhouse teams that organizers and fans might have been hoping for. When you win by thirty-one points as the United States did last night (101-70), you're looking more a preview of what may be to come in the future for Chinese basketball than what may happen in the present.

  Still, the home team did themselves proud. China played an impressive passing game, especially in the early going, as Yao was surrounded by defenders. Chinese players loved the three-point line; the first points of the game were scored on a three (by of all people, Yao) and by game's end, no less than six Chinese players had hit threes. Yi Jianlian and Wang Zhizhi, both of whom have NBA experience to add to their maturity as international-level players, each hit four threes. The players admitted afterwards that that hadn't been their initial strategy against the Americans, but when Yao was swarmed by Dwight Howard and the rest of Team USA, the Chinese had to regroup.

  Afterwards the players were circumspect about the challenge they had faced. (You have to wonder what it's like going from the CBA to suddenly being guarded by the likes of Kobe Bryant). Forward Zhu Fangyu noted that the game had been an excellent lesson for the Chinese team. "When I watch NBA, I tend to focus on the players in my position, like LeBron James and Kobe Bryant," Zhu told a packed post-game press conference. "This game is a chance for me to examine myself to see the gap between the NBA stars and me."

  It was also a chance to see the potential for a future in Chinese basketball where the competition reaches the highest level internationally. The crowd support is already there. During the playing of the national anthems, it seemed the entire crowd knew the lyrics to "March of the Volunteers." In contrast, there were few singing the American national anthem. But when the American team made its flashy plays (so many, in fact, that more than one reporter in the post-game press conference asked Team USA coach Mike Krzyzewski whether the Americans were showing off to much), the crowd worked itself into a frenzy. You can't have too many dunks or alley-oops with this crowd.

  Here's what was best about USA-China. Even thought the USA is far stronger competitively right now than the Chinese, the game was competitive, exciting, and passionate. All of the players conducted themselves well. The crowd loved the experience. The Chinese players got a taste of what they could be in the future, and now that they've got their hardest match out of the way, they can focus on Germany and Angola, and focus on getting into the elimination round. For the Americans, the night was further proof that the NBA's popularity reaches far into Asia now, further than many of them had dreamed. Far enough that someday, perhaps, a generation of players who were children last night and watched the game with their families will be inspired to bring China's basketball achievement to a new level.

  In other words, last night, both sides were winners.
