“When we firmly believe that we can defeat our opponents, we can do it.”

After the game, Tang Tian pulled the Chinese team members and said something.

Win the Brazilian team to complete the revenge, they completed the first step, but that's what they should have done.

But now winning over Serbia shows one thing: with Tang Tian, ​​the Chinese men's basketball team, really has the ability to challenge the world's strong teams!

In fact, after defeating Serbia, the morale of domestic fans has also increased unprecedentedly.

Just like a dream that came true, they felt that the Chinese men's basketball team had hope to create better results in the Olympics than in the quarterfinals!

However, some fans poured cold water.

The Brazilian players are seriously aging and no longer have the courage to be the peak of their past. Being able to enter the Olympics this year is borrowing the identity of the host.

The Chinese team beat Brazil, and there is not much persuasion.

As for playing Serbia, occasionally upsets exist in a game that determines the outcome, and the crazy March of NCAA is typical.

Moreover, Serbia lost to Australia in the last game.

Two days later, the Chinese men's basketball team ushered in the game with its third opponent in the group stage, Australia.

Ben Simmons did not choose to play for the country. The leading players in this Australian team are Bogut, Delavidova, Aaron Baynes, Ingles, and Mills, etc., and NBA players are also on the roster.

Although their fame is not as good as other first-tier national teams, their overall strength is actually underestimated.

The group stage has been playing continuously to defeat Serbia and France, which has shown their hard strength.

Moreover, this team particularly advocates confrontation and small moves, which makes the opponent very troubled.

After the game between the Chinese team and the Australian team started, the Chinese team soon encountered such problems.

Under the strong style of Australian players, the characteristics of Chinese players in fighting against weak points are completely exposed.

Except for Tang Tian and Yi Jianlian, the others could not score any goals.

In the end, even though Tang Tian scored 40 points with double teams and Yi Jianlian scored 15 points and 10 points, the Chinese team still lost 66-80.

In the more than a year since Yao Ming took office, Chinese basketball has made significant progress, but physical fitness and confrontation are things that require long-term accumulation to achieve results.

China lost to Australia, and those who poured cold water before had an orgasm.

"Look, I just said that winning the ball was based on luck before, basketball was a sport of five people, and it would definitely not be possible with Tang Tian alone!"

"It's not much use to win at the beginning. The next match between the Chinese team is the United States. After two consecutive losses, it's difficult to qualify in the group!"

"The United States, France, these are the two opponents behind the Chinese team. They both lost the record, with 2 wins and 3 losses, ranking fourth at most, playing first in the other group, and they will still stop in the quarterfinals like four years ago!"

"If you are assigned to such a death group, you will basically be out of luck if you lose to Australia!"

...

Although losing to Australia is not as exaggerated as these fans said on the hotline, a morale blow is inevitable and frustration is inevitable.

After Tang Tian and Li Nan communicated, the Chinese team took a shower in the locker room, and then returned to the stadium to watch the next game between the United States and France.

This game was much more intense than expected.

This American team is Dream Twelve, led by Durant and Anthony.

Kobe has retired, and James, Paul, and Howard have never been there for the stars who helped the Dream Team return to their peak in 2008.

This Dream Team's offense is relatively outdated, and its defense is worse than that of the previous Dream Teams.

Cousins, the starting inside player, is not known for his defense, and Jordan Jr. is the only one who is a defensive inside player.

After the two teams started the game, they fought against each other. The French team was led by Parker and the score difference was within 5 points.

At the last moment, Durant stood up for the United States, killing the game with a difficult mid-range shot and an emergency stop three-pointer.

He scored a game-high 30 points, helping the US team win the French team 100-97, and won three consecutive Olympic wins.

Losing to Australia made the Chinese team frustrated, but after watching the US team's game, their confidence in the next game was greatly improved.

France lost to Australia before, but now they only lost 3 points when they play against the United States.

Although a does not win b and b win c, a will definitely win c, but the situation in front of you is still very meaningful.

The Chinese team won 2 wins and 1 lost in three games, Brazil and Serbia were both stronger offensive than defense, while Australia was stronger in defense than attack.

For this American team, which is also more offensive than defense, the Chinese team has a certain chance.

So after watching this game, it is the process of the Chinese team members from having no confidence to seeing hope.

The match against the United States was two days later. Although the outside world had many doubts about the Chinese team because of the loss to Australia, the Chinese team members remained in the same fighting spirit.

Tang Tian also poured a wave of chicken soup at the right time.

"History has always been created by people. We won Brazil, the first time in history, we won Serbia, the first time in history, it is no exaggeration to say that this is probably the weakest Olympic team in the decade, so we have a chance to create this first time, believe in ourselves, and throw the ball into it."

Tang Tian’s chicken soup is still very useful.

When people feel that there is a chance to do something, this kind of chicken soup is like someone pushing it behind the scenes and things start to do it.

After two days of training, the team members regained their morale and were full of confidence.

At 7 o'clock local time that night, the match between the Chinese and American teams kicked off at Hall 1 of the Carioca Stadium.

The scene was full.

For local fans, in addition to the host Brazil, the match between the United States and China is the most popular.

Now that these two teams meet, the attention they receive is not less than that of the host.

The game is about to begin soon, and the two teams entered the stadium in advance to warm up.

Tang Tian threw two balls and sat on the sidelines to rest, then looked at the US team halftime.

Durant, Anthony, Paul George, Cousins, Irving, Draymond Green, Lowry, Jimmy Butler, Jordan Jr., DeRozan, Klay Thompson and Harrison Barnes.

This Dream Twelve team includes Tang Tian’s brothers Irving, Butler and Thompson, and there are also those who are not against him, Durant and Green.

But these people have one thing in common, they are all familiar with them, including technical and tactical characteristics and personality.

In other words, this also gives the Chinese team another more chance of winning.

The game is about to begin, and both starters are on the stage one after another.

On the side of the US team, Irving and Butler on the outside, Durant and Anthony on the front line, and Jordan Jr.

Coach K is a famous coach of NCAA. Just like Duke, he is very good at coaching such a team with a bunch of stars.

In view of the characteristics of the Chinese team, he also made adjustments to the starting lineup.

The Chinese team also has lineup adjustments, which is a lineup of one, one, four, and four.

On the outside are Zhao Jiwei and Tang Tian, ​​on the front line are Zhou Peng and Zhai Xiaochuan, and on the center are Yi Jianlian.

The starters from both sides have appeared one after another, and the match between the Chinese and American teams is about to break out.
Chapter completed!
