The invincible kryptonite of basketball

Tang Tian guides him in the competition, which will do more with less for his growth.

Even if Zhou Qi can't grow into an NBA player, improving himself will be of great help to the future of the Chinese team.

Nene missed the extra penalty and Yi Jianlian protected the defensive rebound.

The Chinese team advanced to the frontcourt. Tang Tian and Yi Jianlian accelerated the breakthrough after the pick-and-roll, and pressed the ball into the basket before the Brazilian team's defense was formed.

The Chinese team's outside shooting percentage in the first half was not low, which made the Brazilian team dare not shrink as thoroughly as it did in the opening game.

Looking back, Nene hit Zhou Qi again in a low position.

This time Zhou Qi raised his hand and didn't jump. Although he was pushed hard enough, his long arms still interfered with Nene's shooting angle.

Nene wanted to knock Zhou Qi away and dunk it, but Tang Tian, ​​who was recovered from the basket, poked the ball. He missed it and dropped his hand out of bounds, a mistake!

For the Chinese team's offense, Tang Tian went out in the pick-and-roll this time, and the dry three-pointer shot by the fake fax completely fooled Nene.

"Shh" sound.

As the three-pointer hit the net, the faces of the fans were full of frustration.

They thought it was beautiful, but it was only for a while, Tang Tian scored 5 points in a row and brought them back to reality!

Barbosa still couldn't make a three-pointer from the outside, and he was completely stunned.

Looking back, Yi Jianlian failed to make a three-pointer, but Zhou Qi used his long arm to make a direct tip-up to score!

Tang Tian's on-site teaching worked so quickly!

The Chinese team is fully open!

The score is getting wider and wider, and the players are playing more and more confidently. As a result, the score is getting bigger and bigger.

At the end of the third quarter, the score difference on the field was close to 30 points. The scene was already silent, and many spectators left the field early.

In the opening stage of the fourth quarter, Barbosa sat on the sidelines with an indescribably ugly expression.

Not only was he struggling with his own performance, but also because of the score on the field.

I want to win in Rio and you still have words in your ears, but the scene in front of you.

This is not only pretending to be coercive, but also being fucked!

Chapter 869 This is a great warm-up match

Brazil did not launch an effective counterattack in the fourth quarter.

And because of grievances, the Chinese team played until the last 2 minutes before replacing players on the edge of the bench.

The Brazilian team couldn't afford to lose at the last moment, and the two sides also had a little conflict.

But that doesn't matter anymore, the Chinese team wins, and a big victory is a foregone conclusion.

In the end, the Chinese team beat the host Brazil team 77 to 42 in the first game, and won the first victory of the Olympic Games!

The Chinese team Tang Tian, ​​Yi Jianlian, Zhou Peng and Guo Ailun scored in double figures.

唐天打了三节轻松砍下全场最高的36分，外加3板6助攻2抢断1盖帽。

After the game, the relaxed expressions on the faces of the Chinese team members were in stark contrast to the sinner-like expressions of the Brazilian team in front of the home fans.

And after a while, the players of the Brazilian team quickly disappeared from the field.

After the fiasco, they were like ants crawling onto a hot pot, and they felt like they were going to die for a second longer.

On the contrary, the Chinese team was in a good mood after the big victory. Many players and Chinese fans on the sidelines interacted with each other by signing autographs and posing for photos.

As the player with the best performance in this game, Tang Tian was also interviewed by the local media on the sidelines.

"It was a great warm-up match."

When the reporter asked how to evaluate the first game, Tang Tian used this description.

This game was the Olympic debut of the new national team. At the beginning, the players were so nervous that they couldn't score. It was Tang Tian who opened the game, followed by veterans like Yi Jianlian and Zhou Peng, and finally blossomed.

After such a game, I believe that in the next game, the players must have adapted, especially knowing what they have to do well.

As Tang Tian said, this is a great warm-up match, especially when facing a stronger opponent later on.

But the reporter felt very uncomfortable after listening to it. After all, this is the home field of the Brazilians!

When Tang Tian said this, in a more straightforward way, didn't he mean that the Brazilian team was trash, and the Brazilian team was scum?

However, there seems to be nothing wrong with what you said, because the Brazilian team not only lost this time, but also lost a full 35 points!

Is it slag? It's not by talking, but by the game.

Tang Tian's words were reported by reporters, and the Brazilian fans were in an uproar.

But more is complaining about his national team!

They would admit that they were killed by Tang Tian, ​​but they were killed by the entire Chinese team, which is unacceptable!

Barbosa was very depressed after losing, and even more depressed after seeing the fans' reactions on social media, and even began to doubt life.

This is really self-inflicted!

In one game, the Brazilian team is in a mess just like Brazil's turbulent national conditions.

In this case, it can only be said that they are to blame.

If it wasn't for their rushing and Barbosa's jumping, the Chinese team wouldn't be so ruthless.

Now this former team of glory, the team that won the World Championships twice, is really about to be beaten to its knees.

The result of this game had an unprecedented impact on the Brazilian basketball world, but for the Chinese men's basketball team, this was just the beginning of their Olympic journey.

A good start is a good thing, but if they are aiming for medals, then they have just taken the first step, and the road to competition is still very long.

The Chinese team's next opponent is the Serbian team.

Shortly after the match between the Chinese team and the Brazilian team, the Serbian team ushered in a match against the Australian team.

As a result, despite Jokic leading the team, they still lost to the Australian team.

This is obviously a good thing for the Chinese team. It is important to know that morale is very important in the Olympic Games.

Two days later, the match between China and Serbia kicked off in Hall 1 of the Carioca Stadium.

The game was held in the afternoon, and compared to two days ago, the number of spectators present was significantly smaller.

After all, it was afternoon, and there were no hosts competing.

The attendance rate of the arena is only about [-]%, most of them are Chinese fans, and the rest are mainly Brazilian fans.

But whether they are Chinese fans or Brazilian fans, they all come here for Tang Tian.

During the warm-up before the game, Jokic brought Boban to Tang Tian's side.

Boban was traded to the Pelicans, but the two haven't met each other yet. Jokic came to say hello, and at the same time, he knew him in advance.

The originally shy boy became active after two years with the Pelicans.

"Don, we won't show mercy. We need Olympic victories."

Jokic plucked up his courage and "screamed" to Tang Tian with a smile.

"me too."

Tang Tian also replied with a smile.

The Olympic Games is held every four years, and it is the most important competition for athletes, and no one will keep their hands.

"good luck."

After bumping fists to send their blessings, the two returned to their respective halves.

The game between the two teams started quickly.

For the Serbian team, Bobanga Jokic's inside line, Teodosic's, and Bogdan Bogdanovic's outside line are all the main players.

Boban got the chance to attack first for the Serbian team, and Jokic easily hit Zhou Qi in a low post as soon as he came up.

Back on the defensive end, they also defended against Tang Tian's first wave of attacks by relying on their excellent personal ability and defense assistance.

The strength gap between the two teams seems to be a bit big.

But soon, the Chinese team used their performance to explain why they could beat Brazil.

Tang Tian and Yi Jianlian played Jokic after the pick-and-roll. He was relentless in the face of his teammates, and his breakthrough emergency stop also scored points for the Chinese team.

Teodosic broke through Zhao Jiwei and continued to score.

Looking back, Tang Tian broke through and was double-teamed by three people. He passed the ball to Zhai Xiaochuan who was open in the corner.

Compared with the Brazilian team, the Serbian team exhibits the characteristics of European team basketball, and its reaction and execution are obviously stronger.

Zhai Xiaochuan's open chance was fleeting, but he shot quickly and threw the ball in!

Bogdanovic's layup missed, and Zhao Jiwei's three-pointer from Tang Tian's pass was missed by the help defense, but Zhou Qi used his long arm to make up the ball into the basket!

After the opening of the game, the Chinese team played back and forth with the Serbian team, and they did not fall behind!

The game is going on, and fans from various countries on the hotline are constantly talking about it.

Because it was different from the first game against Brazil, many people were worried that the performance of the rest of the Chinese team was a temporary convulsion.

But after watching the whole game, they found that it was not the case. Although the Chinese team missed some opportunities, they seized most of them!

This made them entangled with the Serbian team until the last moment.

In the end, Tang Tian scored consecutive singles with Jokic and Boban. After he scored 10 points in a row, the Chinese team finally won 84-81!

The result of this game is absolutely unexpected. After all, the strength of this Serbian team is the same as that of the United States and Spain in this year's Olympics, in the first tier!

But the Chinese team finally won by relying on their overall performance!

Until this time, many people realized that what Tang Tian said after playing against the Brazil team was really not just pretending to be aggressive!

After experiencing such a game, the Chinese team has grown in all aspects!

Looking back now, playing Brazil was really a great warm-up match for the Chinese team!

Chapter 8 The American Dream Team Twelve

"When we believe we can beat our opponents, we can."

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

Winning Brazil to get their revenge, they took the first step, but that's what they should have done.

But winning Serbia now shows one thing: the Chinese men's basketball team with Tang Tian really has the strength to challenge the world's top teams!

In fact, after defeating the Serbian team, the morale of domestic fans has never been higher.

Just like a dream came true, they felt for the first time that the Chinese men's basketball team had the hope of achieving better results than the quarter-finals in the Olympics!

However, some fans poured cold water on it.

The players of the Brazilian team are seriously aging, and they have long lost their peak courage. This year's Olympic Games is due to the identity of the host.

The Chinese team won the Brazilian team, and there is not much convincing.

As for playing Serbia, in a one-set game, there are occasional upsets, and the NCAA's March Madness is a typical example.

And Serbia's loss to Australia in the last game was a bit misleading.

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

Ben Simmons did not choose to play for his country. The leader of this Australian team is Bogut. NBA players such as Dellavedova, Aaron Baynes, Ingles, and Mills are also on the roster.

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

The consecutive victories over Serbia and France in the group stage have shown their hard power.

And this team especially advocates confrontation and small moves, which makes the opponent a headache.
