957 Are you planning to wave the white flag?
The venue for this competition is the Bercy Arena in the southwest of Paris.
The Bercy Arena has an octagonal appearance and is the largest indoor sports venue in Paris.
It can accommodate competitions in 21 sports.
There are not only traditional indoor events such as basketball, table tennis, gymnastics, and judo, but also bicycle and motorcycle competitions that are usually held outdoors.
What is even more amazing is that sampan and skiing, sports that require special conditions even outdoors, have also entered the Bercy Stadium.
It is said that the Bercy Arena is only free 11 days a year.
The rest of the time there are games or concerts.
It is the busiest stadium in the world.
Originally, the basketball mission of the Bercy Arena in this Olympics was only used by teams from a few countries such as the United States and France.
But considering that China now has Wang Yi.
He now has many fans all over the world.
The Chinese team is second only to the American team in terms of attention.
Therefore, the Chinese team's games are also held at the Bercy Stadium.
Because at the pre-match press conference, the atmosphere between the two sides was not very friendly.
So during the opening warm-up, there was a bit of gunpowder between the two sides.
A basketball from the Chinese team rolled to the Japanese team.
Wang Zhelin called to the Japanese team on the center line to throw the ball over.
However, no one from the Japanese team paid attention.
When Wang Zhelin went to pick up the ball, Japan's Yuta Watanabe bumped Wang Zhelin's shoulder, whether intentionally or unintentionally.
Wang Zhelin stepped forward to argue, but the guy became more and more arrogant and kept whining.
Although Wang Zhelin didn't understand what he was talking about, the "Baga" inside did.
Wang Zhelin also has a hot temper.
He pointed directly at Yuta Ma Watanabe, with a ferocious face, and burst out with the quintessence of Chinese culture: "wcnm!"
Although Du Bian Xiongtai didn't understand what Wang Zhelin was talking about, he could tell from Wang Zhelin's expression that Wang Zhelin was scolding him.
So he also pointed at Wang Zhelin and continued chattering.
Seeing that the two of them were about to take action.
Thanks to the players on both sides who saw the opportunity quickly and pulled them away in time.
Otherwise, there will be a fight before the game even starts.
Fortunately, the referees were still changing clothes in the locker room at this time, otherwise these two guys would have received technical fouls before the game started.
Many Japanese and Chinese audiences also came to the scene.
When they saw that the players on both sides were about to take action, they all started to make noises.
Japanese fans: "Damn it! This guy is just here to fight."
Chinese fans: "Get him!"
On the Japanese team, their head coach, Crazy Tom, called Yuta Watanabe over and kept whispering something to him.
On the Chinese team's side, coach Du Feng also called Wang Zhelin back.
However, he did not directly curse like before.
Instead, pat Wang Zhelin on the shoulder?
"Well done. You need to have such a bloody spirit to beat the Japanese team. One word: do it!"
At the same time, he called all the Chinese players over, raised his voice an octave, and shouted to them:
"Wang Zhelin gave us a good start. There is nothing else in this game. My request is only four words: Do it to death!"
All the players also spared no effort in their efforts.
One by one, they raised their fists and shouted: "Fight to death!"
This is what Chinese athletes are like.
No matter it is any Chinese sport or any athlete, as long as he meets a Japanese athlete, his anger level will instantly increase a hundred times, and his attack power and defense will also increase a hundred times - except for men's football.
At 6:30 pm, the game between the two sides finally started.
The starting lineup of the Chinese team.
Point guard: Guo Ailun;
Points: Wang Yi;
Small forward: Zhang Zhenlin;
Power forward: Zhou Qi;
Center: Yi Jianlian.
Commentator Zhang Weiping directed Zhang, looking at this starting lineup, he couldn't help but sigh:
"Such a lineup is definitely the strongest facelift of the Chinese team in the past ten years. Yi Jianlian, as the anchor, can make this team's performance more stable. Wang Yi's presence can not only ensure the lower limit of this team, but also improve it.
The team’s ceiling.”
Next to him, Yu Jia was looking forward to it: "So, Director Zhang, do you think this team has hope of winning the championship this year?"
Zhang Weiping was silent for a moment after hearing this.
Winning the championship is such an unattainable goal.
Especially in the world basketball world where there is a hegemon like the United States.
With their presence, it will be very difficult for any team to win the championship.
But he still said: "It is undeniable that it is still very difficult for the Chinese team to win the championship at the current stage. Especially when they encounter a dominant team like the US team. Moreover, the US team this year has James, Curry, Durant, and thick eyebrows.
, Paul, Morant...these superstars are here. It will be more difficult for the Chinese team to win a championship. Unless there is a miracle."
Yu Jia still said with great expectation: "Can't Wang Yi create miracles?"
When Zhang Weiping heard this, he nodded and said, "I hope so."
Wang Yi has indeed created many miracles.
But miracles don't happen every day.
So for an older generation basketball player like him, all he can say is "I hope so."
At this time, the Japanese team's starting lineup also came out.
Defender: Takemaru Hirosuke;
Defender: Shuuto Ando;
Forward: Takeuchi Kosuke;
Forward: Jie Takeuchi;
Center: Yuki Aki.
When the Chinese fans saw the Japanese team's starting lineup, they were all dumbfounded.
"No Rui Hachimura in the starting lineup? No Yuta Watanabe? No Yudai Baba?"
"What Kosuke Takemaru and Yuuki Aki? What kind of beasts are these?"
"By the way, does the Japanese team have these guys?"
Even fans who often watch games are very unfamiliar when they see these guys.
In their impression, the representatives of the Japanese team are Rui Hachimura, Yudai Baba, and Yuta Watanabe.
Add to this Zhang Bentianjie, whom all Chinese fans know.
But now these people are all sitting in the audience.
Instead, some people who have never appeared in the audience's field of vision are the starters.
Is the head coach of the Japanese team crazy?
Zhang Weiping was also very surprised: "The Japanese team's starting lineup is incomprehensible. Their main players are all sitting off the court, and some of the usual substitute players are starting the game. What is Crazy Tom going to do?"
Yu Jia also shook his head repeatedly: "Crazy Tom is really crazy. His thoughts are simply incomprehensible to us normal people."
Everyone in China is also confused.
All the players also looked at coach Du Feng.
But coach Du Feng is also a bit like a monk.
No matter how experienced he is in coaching, he is a little confused when it comes to situations like this.
How can anyone act as a pure substitute as soon as they come up?
Among the five starters for the Japanese team, three have never appeared in a World Series. The remaining two only played in garbage time.
