On the first day of the Imperial Capital Olympics, the men's basketball team did not play, but the Celestial Empire women's basketball team narrowly defeated the Spanish women's basketball team 67-64 on this day, making a good start for the Celestial Empire basketball.

It is worth mentioning that this is also the first time in 6 years that the Celestial Empire women's basketball team has defeated an opponent since the 2002 World Championships, after defeating Spain in the group stage.

In the 2004 Athens Olympics, the Celestial Empire women's basketball team met Spain in the second game of the group stage, losing by 20 points in the first quarter and finally losing by 8 points, and on June 5 this year, in the warm-up match with Spain, the Celestial Empire team lost by 4 points.

It was a shame to be able to win at home this time.

The women's basketball team got off to a good start, but it did put more pressure on them for the men's basketball game the next day.

Because they will face the biggest favorite in this Olympic Games on the second day, the United States men's basketball team, known as the Dream Eight team by Celestial Empire fans.

In other words, the Celestial Empire men's basketball team will face the strongest opponent in the first leg of the group stage.

If the big score loses to the opponent, this is not good news for the next game of the Celestial Empire men's basketball team.

Don't look at Erniu thinking in his heart about winning the Olympic gold medal in the imperial capital, but after all, it's just a thought, and when it comes to the arena, it is unknown whether he can break through from Group B.

Since there was no match day for the Celestial Empire men's basketball team on the first match day, the big names in the team also accepted interviews with various media.

The first person to be interviewed was naturally Da Yao.

Talking about the match with the United States team, Yao Ming said with a smile: "If we can beat the United States in the first game, then I will no longer play." Because that's the pinnacle, and I can't beat it. ”

After making jokes, Yao's famous words returned to business.

Speaking about the Olympic journey, he said seriously: "This is my third time participating in the Olympic Games, the first two times I was young and not very impressed, but this time I am participating in the Olympic Games in my home country, I think it is enough that I don't need to experience the difference of the London Olympics anymore." ”

Yao Ming stressed that the realistic goal of the men's basketball team is to qualify for the top eight in the group: "Obviously, when you play in the Olympics, you always want to win medals, but we may not be there yet.

Especially since I'm just recovering from an injury and to be honest, the team's health has been an issue.

Ruan Erniu is of course the most inconceivable existence, and at least half of the credit for winning the Diamond Cup should be credited to him.

On the field, he can do anything, and if there is one player who is the most worth looking forward to, I will definitely choose Erniu. Actually, I'm also a fan of him.

If we can finish seventh or sixth, we will make history.

But I think we're probably only in eighth place, which is satisfying. ”

Even though the performance in the warm-up match was quite outstanding, Da Yao deliberately kept a low profile, and his words vaguely contained such a layer of meaning, in the 2012 London Olympics, he may withdraw from the national team.

Da Yao hasn't figured out that as long as he is still fighting on the court all day, it will not be so easy to quit.

Ruan Erniu is naturally another heavyweight interviewed and in a sense, he has replaced Da Yao in the team.

When talking about tomorrow's game with the United States men's basketball team, Erniu said: "This is destined to be a difficult game, but we should not give up hope. Basketball is round, and anything can happen. Only with desperate determination can it be possible to defeat the opponent. ”

After learning that Da Yao said that he would retire after winning the rice country, Erniu said with a smile: "Da Yao is just a joke, no one will take it seriously." ”

When talking about whether he found the weaknesses of the rice team, Erniu rarely criticized some media that have no common sense of basketball: "Some newspapers are misleading the audience. said that the biggest weakness of the United States team is in the center position, and claimed that they have no reliable center other than Howard.

This argument is outdated, and in fact, some media outlets are still promoting the so-called twin-tower lineup, or the idea that the insiders win the world, without taking into account the trajectory of basketball as a sport.

As long as you have watched the Eagles in the 07-08 season, it is not difficult to find that the so-called center must be a big man, which is a false proposition at all.

The era of small ball has come, and the pace of basketball will become faster and faster in the future.

Don't be fooled by the brilliant record of the NCAA of the old K coach, it is their current assistant coach and head coach of the Suns Mike D'Antoni who really injects the offensive soul of this Dream Eight team, and the offensive and defensive conversion speed of this team will exceed everyone's imagination. ”

Ruan Erniu finally said: "We have no way out, we must fight hard in the first game, so that it is possible to make a historic breakthrough!"

On August 10, 2008, it rained heavily outside Wukesong Stadium. But that didn't stop the fans from watching the game, and the stadium was already packed.

It's 22 o'clock, and there are fifteen minutes left, and the Celestial Empire men's basketball team will play the first game of their respective Olympic journeys with the United States men's basketball team.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, and it is actually not easy for both parties.

Don't think that the United States men's basketball team is a high-ranking existence, in fact, this United States men's basketball team is not the Dream Eight team in the mouth of the fans of the Celestial Empire, they call themselves Team-redempition, which translates to the name and should be called the redemption team.

Since winning the gold medal at the 2000 Olympics, the United States men's basketball team has not been able to stand on the highest podium in the World Series for seven consecutive years.

Especially in the 2004 Athens Olympics and the 2006 World Championships, the United States men's basketball team sent a lot of NBA masters to participate.

Although in terms of lineup, it cannot be compared with Barcelona's dream team, but the strength should not be underestimated, but as a result, they did not win the final championship.

This is unforgivable for the arrogant Chinese people. They have the best players in the world and the league, but they haven't won a gold medal for seven years in a row.

For them, it's a great shame.

There is a kind of failure called we are not champions.

The Dream Team has always been a high-eyed being, and their self-esteem does not allow them to continue to fail.

Take a look at the list of entries in the men's basketball team: Cameron Anthony, Carlos Boozer, Chris Bosh, Kobe Bryant, Dwight Howard, LeBron James, Jason Kidd, Chris Paul, Tycharyn Prince, Joe Johnson, Dwyane Wade, Deron Williams.

Such a gorgeous lineup that does not lose to Yumeichi has already illustrated Yumehachi's ambition.

In addition, President George W. Bush Jr. is also quite concerned about the performance of the United States men's basketball team, and at his last meeting with the head of the Celestial Empire No. 1, he also made a special request for tickets for the Celestial Empire men's basketball team and the United States men's basketball team.

Tonight, accompanied by Mr. Yang, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Celestial Empire, George W. Bush Jr., his father, former US President George H.W. Bush, and their families have come to the Wukesong Arena in advance to watch the game.

In addition, before the start of the game, Bush Jr. also went to the locker room of the United States men's basketball team, shook his fists with the players, and cheered together.

The Olympics have never been a simple sport, and there are too many political elements such as games and exchanges.

Ruan Erniu was also in a circle with his teammates at this moment, and at this time, Da Yao should have come out to speak.

But today, Da Yao consciously stepped aside, and Ruan Erniu, who was only 20 years old, became the de facto leader of the team.

He yelled at the crowd: "Don't give up, from the first second of the game, we should only think about winning!"

"Celestial Empire!

"Come on!"

"Come on!"

The players refreshed their spirits and rushed to the exit of the players' tunnel......
