Chapter 109: The Great War between China and the United States (Second Update!) )

After the game, Li sneaked back to his room and didn't go out, because the matter spread so fast, even if he didn't want everyone to know, it was estimated that someone would say it.

Li Qian had no choice but to enter the system and check Durant's attributes.

It turned out to be a purple card, but it can only be used in one section, but it is enough, and I am fortunate to have the star card, of course, I need to use it in the best place.

Li Qian has already thought about it, unless it is some key battle for the team, such as grabbing eighth, so that he will take it out, or a game like a tie-break in the playoffs.

If you think a little further, it's the final moment of the finals.

I feel excited when I think about it, but with the improvement of Li Qian's strength, the further I go, the role of the star card is weakening, but this is also based on whether Li Qian can play.

Li Qian also asked the system to predict whether he would lose badly against the United States.

"Master, in the game against the American team, you are the x-factor, if you play well, you will not lose too badly." Jimmy didn't hesitate at all, and said bluntly.

Li Qian's face darkened and said, "What the hell is this......

Of course, playing the group stage with the American team, it is not terrible to lose, but the terrible thing is that if you lose, you will collapse.

The current lineup of the Chinese team is still quite difficult to play the American team, although FIBA does not defend for three seconds, everyone is blocked on the inside, the American team will obviously be a little uncomfortable, but it cannot be said that the combat effectiveness has decreased much, because there are also domineering insiders like Jordan Jr. and Cousins on the inside, plus a forwards like Green who have tough defense.

With a three-pointer like Thompson on the perimeter and a breakthrough guru like Irving, he could make himself more confident with a game-saving three-pointer in Game 7 of this year's Finals.

Li Qian suddenly found that he might have to face Owen, and he was a little excited to think about it, because Owen has a disguised ball control ability and a first-class level in the league.

It's late at night, everyone is asleep, and they will be greeted by tomorrow's opening ceremony.

…………

Of course, the opening ceremony should be very, very, very grand, and the performance program showed that Brazil vividly and exquisitely reflected the style of the famous people, as well as the integration and connection with the world, chic and elegant, and excellent performance.

In terms of performance, Li Qian watched it quite fascinatingly, although there were many performances that he couldn't understand, but the aesthetics were good.

Time passed little by little, and soon the announcement of the arrival of delegations was coming.

The process was a long one, and delegations from more than 100 countries, after introducing them one by one, entered the venue one by one, so you can imagine how much time it would take.

This period is the most tedious, but it can also be regarded as a test of patience.

In this way, China was read on the radio: "Next, the Chinese delegation is walking towards us, and the gold medal harvester who followed the United States in the last Olympic Games is welcome." ”

The athlete who holds the flag is still a men's basketball player - Yi Jianlian!

In the 2004 and 2008 Olympic Games, Yao Ming served as the flag bearer, and in 2012, he was replaced by Yi Jianlian, and now, he is the flag bearer again.

His majestic and tall figure held up the Chinese flag and walked in front of the delegation, a touch of bright red rippling in the air.

"Yi Jianlian's big brother is amazing." Li Qian couldn't help but whisper to Guo Allen.

Guo Allen was originally waving towards the audience, but when he heard Li Qian's words, he said: "Then it goes without saying, the ability is good." ”

The long entrance ceremony was finally over, and Li Qian was about to stand numb.

…………

"Tomorrow, our first group game will be played against a strong team from the United States, so I hope you can play well and rest well today." At the last moment, Gong Luming ran over and told the national team athletes to cheer up and deal with tomorrow's game.

Li Qian is very eager to compete with the American team, and he wants to play against Irving and Thompson.

These defenders are playing and it's a great opportunity to play against them.

Time flew to the next day's game, which was about to start, Li Qian became more and more excited, of course, the starting scoring guard of the Chinese team must be Li Qian.

The palace director has already accepted his fate, and there will be no accidents.

The starting lineup of the two teams, the Chinese team: center Yi Jianlian, power forward Zhou Qi, small forward Zhou Peng, scoring guard Li Qian, point guard Guo Allen

Team USA: Center Cousins, power forward Green, small forward Durant, scoring guard Thompson, point guard Irving.

The starters have been introduced, and they have all appeared, Durant saw Li Qian, smiled politely at him, and Li Qian smiled back.

It's game on!

Li Qian became more and more nervous, standing on the international stage for the first time, he couldn't tell the feeling, and the rules were not adaptable, he had just adapted to the rules of the NBA, even if he was in the national team training time, there were not many games, so he still didn't master it thoroughly.

But it doesn't matter, Li Qian can play according to what he knows.

In the jump stage, there was no doubt that Cousins took the ball, picked it up for Thompson, and then transferred it to Irving for organization.

The inside line immediately shrank to the penalty area, and there was no NBA's three-second zone, so he squatted directly inside to grab the board and attack, a bit like how we usually play on the wild court.

Yi Jianlian's physical fitness is very good, but Zhou Qi seems too thin and has no advantage in the inner line at all, so he has to move out a little.

In order to stop Thompson's running, Li Qian has been following him to the death, constantly running countless times.

Obviously, Owen's ball control level is superb, Guo Allen is very disadvantaged, and there is a lot of defensive pressure, but Owen also knows that the inside line has an advantage, why not play the inside line, and hang it directly to Cousins, he reached out domineeringly and dunked the ball into the basket, Yi Jianlian couldn't defend, he didn't expect Cousins to be so bold at all, and he directly dunked it with one hand, which is indeed very in line with his character.

Obviously, the strength of the U.S. team is higher than that of the Chinese team, and the only veteran player in the national team is Yi Jianlian.

Guo Allen organized the offense, and on the field, the center was the key point, and Yi Jianlian had very frequent physical contact with Cousins on the inside, but Yi Jianlian did not fall behind.

Guo Allen originally wanted to give the ball to Yi Jianlian, but Green seemed to notice Guo Allen's eyes and was ready to help defend the ball at any time, so he could only hand the ball to Li Qian.

"Rookie, don't shoot casually, otherwise you will be hit." Thompson, who defended Li Qian, said that although he is low-key and humble off the court, on the court, it is the place where men's hormones are released, and a little friction is the most normal.

Li Qian didn't answer Thomp's words, because he was a little nervous and didn't dare to shoot at will, everyone's faces on the court were tense, even if the American team felt that the Chinese team was weak, but they didn't want such a thing as overturning in the gutter.

At this time, Zhou Peng actually threw Durant away with one of the countless runs, and it seemed that Durant was a little distracted.

Li Qian seized the opportunity, passed the ball to Zhou Peng, and completed the mid-shot.

This ball can only be said that Zhou Peng is very witty, and when he saw that Durant was a little stunned, he stole a ball, and this kind of thing will definitely not happen next time.

Li Qian completed an assist, and the first statistic on the international stage was not a score, but an assist.

2:2

Of course, it is just the beginning, and the score has no reference, and as the game deepens, the difference in strength between the teams can be reflected.

The idea of the U.S. team is that as long as they don't mess around, winning the game and getting points is easy.

Owen's fancy dribbling, and Guo Allen, who was dangling, were dazzled and at a loss, but they still had to stare at him desperately and couldn't be discouraged.

But Owen directly turned around Guo Allen and rushed into the penalty area, Zhou Qi and Yi Jianlian sat in the restricted area, and it was indeed difficult to make a layup, but who else?

Cousins! When everyone's attention was on Irving, Irving passed to Cousins with his back and was about to dunk, but was judged by Yi Jianlian and interfered.

The rebound was protected by Zhou Qi.
