Chapter 754 Something with Special Significance

For the Tianchao men's basketball team, the match against the Spanish men's basketball team is undoubtedly very difficult.

Even though the two sides have played against each other several times in history, the Spanish men's basketball team has always been the ultimate winner.Starting from the Sydney Olympics in 2000, in the following three consecutive Olympics, the Chinese men's basketball team met the Spanish men's basketball team in the group stage, and eventually lost the game.

The last time the Tianchao men's basketball team defeated the Spanish men's basketball team in a top international basketball competition dates back to 1994.At that time, Hu Weidong, Liu Yudong, Gong Xiaobin, Ah Dijiang, Wu Qinglong and Sun Jun, a group of outstanding players, led by the legendary coach Jiang Xingquan, advanced to the quarter-finals of the World Championships for the first time in Canada.

At that time, a total of 16 teams participated in the competition, divided into 4 groups, with 4 teams in each group, and the top two advanced to the top 8.The Tianchao men's basketball team was divided into the "death group". The three opponents in the same group were the American "Dream Team Two", the Spanish men's basketball team fifth in the European Championship and the South American champion Brazil men's basketball team.

Because Meng Er is too strong, the Chinese men's basketball team must defeat the Spanish men's basketball team and the Brazilian men's basketball team if they want to break through the group.No matter how you look at it, this is an impossible task.After all, before this, the Tianchao men's basketball team basically lost by a big score against European and American teams.However, Jiang Xingquan and the players of that generation of Tianchao men's basketball team are full of confidence.

With effective defense and efficient offense, the Chinese men's basketball team defeated the Brazilian men's basketball team.Facing the second dream team, they really lost the game.At this time, the match against the Spanish men's basketball team is extremely important.If the Chinese men's basketball team wants to make history, it must beat the Spanish men's basketball team.

That game can be said to be the most memorable game in the history of the Chinese men's basketball team.

After the start of the game, the Spanish men's basketball team went all out and showed the ability to press the bottom of the box.By the end of the first half, the Tianchao men's basketball team had fallen behind their opponents by as much as 15 points.In an international basketball game where sixty or seventy points were common at that time, this point difference was enough to defeat the opponent's confidence.

However, the boys of the Tianchao men's basketball team, who had the belief of winning, were not discouraged, and they launched a fierce counterattack in the second half.Sun Jun, Zheng Wu, Hu Weidong, and Wu Qinglong teamed up to rain three-pointers. With Shan Tao's mid-range shot from the baseline, the Tianchao men's basketball team took the lead with 61:59.From being 15 points behind to leading by 2 points, the players of the Tianchao Men's Basketball Team only took 10 minutes.

Since then, the Tianchao men's basketball team has always firmly controlled the initiative on the court.At the last moment, Hu Weidong missed a layup, and Zheng Wu made a tip-up and scored a goal to seal the victory.The Tianchao men's basketball team led by 4 points, and only 6 seconds were left for the opponent.With the Spanish player scoring a 2 points, the final whistle also sounded.The Tianchao men's basketball team defeated the Spanish men's basketball team 78:76, making history for the first time in history by entering the top eight of the World Championships.

These players were all born around 1970, and they were all around 24 years old at the time, and they were in their golden age.Therefore, people later called them the "94 Golden Generation".

It can be said that this generation of players made the world remember the Tianchao men's basketball team for the first time.Since then, the national team players have been working hard to improve the historical results they created again, but now 25 years have passed and the best results created by the golden generation are still unsurpassed!However, although it cannot be surpassed, the successors behind have always followed in the footsteps of their predecessors.After 14 years of precipitation, the Tianchao men's basketball team has once again attracted the attention of the world.

In 2008, the Olympic Games came to China.At that time, the Tianchao men's basketball team had Yao Ming as the core, supplemented by Yi Jianlian, Zhu Fangyu, Wang Shipeng, Liu Wei and other outstanding players.This Chinese men's basketball team is considered by most fans to be the strongest national team ever.

The core player, Yao Ming, was at his peak at the time.Served as the main center for the NBA Rockets, an All-Star starter, and the best team player.Yi Jianlian, who is only 21 years old, is also an NBA player with excellent athletic ability and the ability to open up shooting space.The combination of Zhu Fangyu and Wang Shipeng's outside shooters, their three-pointers are quite accurate, making opponents hard to defend, and can fully open up space for inside attacks.Liu Wei is Yao Ming's old teammate in the Shanghai team. He has a good understanding with Yao Ming. He is known as "the person who best passes the ball to Yao Ming". He has a good overall view and stability. He is an excellent point guard.

On the bench sat Wang Zhizhi, an elite insider who had also played in the NBA.In that year's Tianchao men's basketball team, it's hard to say about other positions. As far as the inside match is concerned, it is definitely one of the best among all participating teams.I am afraid that only the American Dream Team can win.

However, like the 94 golden generation, this year's Tianchao men's basketball team also has great shortcomings.There is no one in the lineup who is good at controlling. Although Liu Wei has occupied the national team for a long time, he is really inferior in the international arena.Secondly, only Wang Shipeng broke through with one hand, and the others basically took the ball and dribbled it twice. No one could share the defensive pressure with Yao Ming.This point is exactly the opposite of the 94 golden generation, Liu Yudong, Gong Xiaobin, Zheng Wu, Sun Jun, Hu Weidong, invested in the whole bank from inside and outside.It's a pity that the insiders Shan Tao and Daba were not very strong at that time, and Wang Zhizhi was too young.

In the 2008 Olympic Games, the game that made Tianchao fans feel the most regrettable was the match against the Spanish men's basketball team.The two sides were tied in regular time. In the final overtime, due to the severe physical exertion of the players, the state of both offense and defense declined seriously.In the end, the Chinese men's basketball team was reversed by the Spanish men's basketball team and lost the game.This has to be said to be a very regrettable result. You must know that at the end of the third quarter, the Chinese men's basketball team still led the Spanish men's basketball team by as much as 14 points.

Not only the fans felt sorry, but the players at the time were also brooding.Yao Ming once said frankly: If I can do it all over again, I will do it even if my leg is broken.In Yao Ming's view, at the last moment of the game between the Chinese men's basketball team and the Spanish men's basketball team, if he could have blocked Gasol's goal, the Chinese team would not have lost.

Later, the Chinese men's basketball team never had a chance to beat the Spanish men's basketball team. In the 2012 Olympic Games, Yi Jianlian, who had won the banner of the Chinese men's basketball team from Yao Ming, scored a super data of 30+12, but from the beginning to the end, the Chinese men's basketball team without Yao Ming showed no sign of being able to beat the opponent.

Now, the Tianchao men's basketball team has returned to the top eight of the World Cup.Li Nan has already retired, picked up the pointer, and became the helmsman of the Chinese men's basketball team.The young Yi Jianlian at the beginning has also become the oldest player in the team.But in any case, they were finally able to compete with the Spanish men's basketball team again.For them, this is a matter of special significance.
