“梦四队”在去年的悉尼奥运会上受到了强有力的挑战,作为NBA联盟总裁的斯特恩在奥运会结束后的10月份表示,未来美国篮球队不再派出所谓的“梦之队”的大牌球员参加奥运会之类的比赛。他说将来组建的球队只有少数几名大牌球星,大多数是称职的普通球员。因此第五届友好运动会的美国男篮球员组成就引起人们关注。从目前公布的球员看,美国男篮呈年轻化、职业化等趋势。 “Dream Four” was challenged last year at the Sydney Olympics. Stern, the NBA’s president, said in October after the Olympic Games that in the future the U.S. basketball team will no longer send out so-called “Dream Team” Big players to participate in the Olympic Games and the like. He said the team to be formed in the future is only a small number of big stars, most of them are capable ordinary players. Therefore, the composition of the United States men’s basketball players at the Fifth Friendly Games attracted much attention. From the current release of players, the United States men’s basketball was young, professional and other trends.
