In the previous game between the Spurs Rockets, Zhou Qi sprained his knee in the last game.

It seemed that the situation was not serious at that time, but news just came out yesterday that his knee sprain was severe and he was expected to be on standby for half a year.

He will not return until at least October in the new preseason.

In other words, he will definitely not be able to play this year's Men's Basketball World Cup.

This news is bad news for both himself and the Chinese team.

The only three inside players in the Chinese team can play in the World Championship, Yi Jianlian, Wang Zhelin and Zhou Qi. Now it’s a big problem if they get hurt.

There was originally a Zou Yuchen who was the star of hope, but he was seriously injured when he was playing a warm-up match a few years ago.

"Chen Zijie is not bad, Abu can also play the fourth position. I think the world basketball is now playing Xiao Kuai Ling, focusing on shooting, which is not fatal."

It is already a fact that Zhou Qi cannot fight, and Tang Tian said that this is also giving Yao Ming confidence.

And what he can't say is that Zhou Qi's performance in this World Cup in history was very bad, and even jokes like Yao Tou Tanqi and Nan Ci Qijiu appeared.

Although he is here, these may not appear again, but to open the sky eye, it may not be a bad thing that Zhou Qi can't beat him.

Tang Tian’s persuasion is still effective.

In addition to Zhou Qi's incident, there is another thing that is also related to the Men's Basketball World Cup.

Before this, Yao Ming also had private communication with Tang Tian in the selection of the national team head coach.

Because it is a reform, the outside world is facing great pressure. When the red-to-blue team was leading the team, only Du Feng and Li Nan participated in the election.

However, with Tang Tian's strong recommendation, Yao Ming went to Zhejiang and invited Li Chunjiang out of the mountain.

Later, Li Chunjiang also successfully led the team to win the Asian Games championship, proving his strength.

However, because of his coaching style, there are now players in the team that have conflicts with him, and some players can't stand it.

Yao Ming also came for this. Temporary change of coach is definitely a taboo, but if the problem arises, you have to find a way to solve it.

"I think you have to stand up and speak out for Li Chunjiang and support him. Although his personality is very popular, it will be very useful in the World Championships."

Tang Tian also gave Yao Ming advice.

Most domestic players play in CBA. In order to protect the foreign aid mechanism set by players, they can guarantee the interests of domestic players, but the players are too comfortable.

If you practice casually, you can't stand it. Many of them forget that this is fighting for the country.

Just like Gong Luming dared not to use Sun Yue, now anyone who has an objection can just refuse it.

Anyway, Tang Tian is here, and the Chinese team is still an Olympic champion team now, so there is no confidence to be a player.

Moreover, the popular coach has been proven in the national team, not only Li Chunjiang now, but also Deng Huade before, and even Fan Bin from the youth team.

If you don’t scold these players, they may have been floating in the sky and unable to come.

Yao Ming accepted Tang Tian’s suggestion.

After seeing Yao Ming off, Tang Tian greeted others one after another.

When he finished his work, he was with Olson and his children and did not participate in team training.

The next day the team was about to set off, and he said goodbye to Olson and his children and went to San Antonio with the team.

The familiar places, which are not changed from last year, and even from his first place.

This is also the characteristic of American cities. Compared with the changes in China in the past few years, most American cities have undergone very little changes.

Arriving in San Antonio, the Pelicans arranged training that afternoon.

Stevens really attaches great importance to this series.

However, high-intensity training is also prone to accidents, so Gasol accidentally sprained his ankle.

Although it is not serious and can be played tomorrow's game, it still sounds a wake-up call for Stevens.

He finished the training class early.

The next day, the first game of the Pelicans and Spurs series started in San Antonio.

The att Arena is full.

The Spurs' performance this year is extremely outstanding, and unlike the GDP period, the wings like Leonard and George are obviously more beautiful.

This also made San Antonio's football market look unprecedentedly hot.

Just like the joy on the face of the team boss x who came to the scene, the fans are full of confidence in the team's championship this year.

Moreover, when the live camera gave the sidelines, Duncan and Ginobili were also photographed in suits and ties.

Both Spurs celebrities came to watch the game on site.

During the warm-up before the game, in addition to greeting Leonard, they also ran to the Pelicans to say hello to Tang Tian, ​​Parker and Green.

The series in front of me looks a bit like a Spurs civil war.

The players warm-up ended, and the opening ceremony entered the scene, and the two teams started one after another.

The Pelicans have a regular lineup, with Brogden and Tang Tian on the outside, Green and Davis on the forward line, and Gasol on the center.

The Spurs have changed their teams, White and George from the outside, Leonard and Aldridge from the front line, and center Baynes from the center.

In the past trading deadline, the Spurs found a way to exchange Baynes, the old player.

Moreover, Baynes has changed compared to the last time he played for the Spurs, that is, he can shoot three-pointers.

The 34% three-point shooting percentage of the season is already considered excellent among the big men.

This is also an important reason why Popovich struggled to trade him back.

Now that Bains and Gasol are playing against each other, Popovich is planning ahead.

The game started soon amid the cheers of fans.

Gasol successfully jumped the ball and got the Pelicans a chance to attack first.

Tang Tian was locked in defense by George and Leonard at the beginning of the game, and Popovich was really ruthless against Tang Tian.

The Pelicans' first offense finally led the ball to Gasol's hand on the top of the arc.

Gasol's three-point shot was returned to defend against interference by Baynes, and he was a little too far.

I don’t know if it was affected by the sprained ankle training before, but his touch didn’t look very good.

Looking back, the Spurs' first wave of offense failed to score.

The Pelicans showed a very high defensive quality at the beginning.

Moreover, Popovich temporarily changed the team, and the team's cooperation was not as smooth as before.

Both sides set the tone for the game from the beginning, and a defensive battle started on the court.

The referee's penalty standard is relatively loose, and the confrontation on the field is also very fierce.

There are not many points in this game, but the fans are very happy to watch.

The duel of experts is not necessarily a back-and-forth battle.

The two teams played for half a quarter, and the score on the field was 11-10, with the Pelicans leading the way.

Perhaps because he didn't train well in the past two days, Tang Tian felt average tonight, and he shot two shots very far and failed to make it. In addition to the restrictions of George and Leonard, he only scored 4 points.

The fierce confrontation on the field continued, and at this moment, an accident occurred on the field.

Gasol confronted Aldridge on the defensive end, and sprained his ankle when he exerted his strength.

Spraining ankle is a habit, which is obviously related to spraining ankle during training, but the spraining is even more powerful and is directly carried by the teammates.

Stevens followed and called for a pause.
Chapter completed!
