In this game, the Chinese Olympic team was broken through by the opponent in less than 20 minutes, Zheng Zhi, who was pushed to the back position by Houghton, seemed a little uncomfortable, although Zheng Zhi was a good tandem of the team's back line and midfield, but his defense was a little less stable, accustomed to the defender position, Zheng Zhi was too hesitant in the defense of the back position.

Before the end of the first half, the door of the national Olympic team was once again breached by the opponent.

In the second half, Horton brought Liu Han back onto the pitch, but his position was slightly forward, similar to that of a central midfielder.

After Liu Han came on the field, the Uruguayan players didn't pay much attention to the tall Liu Han, but when the game reached the 60th minute, Liu Han got the ball in the midfield and rode alone, passing four Uruguayan players in succession, and then broke through the Uruguayan team with a furious shot at the front of the penalty area, which made the South American players really realize the strength of the best players in the Champions League.

Horton vacated the forward position and let Liu Han and Zheng Zhi switch positions frequently in the midfield, which made the midfield of the National Olympic team quickly revitalized, and also stabilized the defense.

In the 80th minute of the game, Liu Han was fouled by a Uruguayan player in the front court, and the national Olympic team won a free kick in a good position.

Liu Han equalized the score overnight, and the National Olympic team forced the opponent to draw in this warm-up match.

After the three warm-up games, the national Olympic team continued to train, and Liu Han will return to the men's basketball team to participate in two warm-up games for the men's basketball team.

However, the men's warm-up tournament did not have a strong opponent, namely Venezuela and Slovenia, neither of which are part of this year's Olympic team.

On August 20, the men's basketball team welcomed its first warm-up match, the Venezuelan team.

After nearly two months of intensive training, the strength of the Chinese men's basketball team has improved a lot after receiving new training, first of all, the team's operating speed has increased a lot.

Although the Chinese team's style of play is still based on the inside line, after the Liu Han organization, the men's basketball team's offense is much smoother than before, and it is no longer the main attack of the inside players, but the combination of inside and outside.

The starting lineup of the men's basketball team in this game is center Octell, power forward Wang Zhizhi, small forward Liu Yudong, scoring guard Li Nan and point guard Liu Han, such a lineup is much stronger than the opponent in height first.

Venezuela's style of play is dominated by quick counter-attacks and outside attacks, and their tallest center on the inside is only 2.08 meters tall, which makes them struggle defensively.

Liu Han was responsible for passing the ball in this game, and after the training of the Lakers coaching staff, the men's basketball team had a new understanding of blocking and dismantling cooperation.

Although the blocking and dismantling tactics are simple, but under Liu Han's exquisite passing cooperation, the Chinese team's offensive efficiency is very high, coupled with Liu Yudong's extremely accurate and stable mid-range shooting and Li Nan's three-point shooting from the outside, the Chinese team led the opponent by 12 points in the first fifteen minutes of the first half.

After that, the men's basketball team made adjustments and replaced the substitute players, who had encountered this kind of rapid counterattack in the past, and the substitutes who had been beaten this time bit the score, and using Yao Min's height advantage on the inside, the men's basketball team once extended its lead to more than 15 points.

In the second half, the men's basketball team still maintained this good momentum, Liu Han and Yao Min, who performed well, frequently played an open connection, which made the fans who came to watch the game addicted.

In the end, the game ended with the Chinese team leading by 20 points, Yao Min scored a game-high 19 points, Octel had 10 rebounds, and Liu Han brushed up 16 assists.

The wonderful game made the fans who came to watch the game can't bear to leave after the game, which is rarely seen in the previous games of the men's basketball team.

On September 2, the men's basketball team continued to face the second opponent, Slovenia.

In the face of the Slovenian team in the traditional European basketball style, the Chinese team's performance this time was not very satisfactory, especially in defense, Slovenia's fast and flexible passing and cutting and running and complicated tactical offense made the Chinese team unable to defend.

However, under Liu Han's organization, the men's basketball team's offense is still sharp, although the players in the physical confrontation against China are still much worse than European players, but Liu Han controls the offensive system of the game very well, and he can always let the empty players receive passes.

And in this game, Liu Han also increased his personal singles and shots outside the three-point line, Liu Han's use of physical advantages and personal ability to attack the game also made the Slovenian team very uncomfortable, no one in their team can keep up with Liu Han's speed, even if the speed can keep up with the physical confrontation, it is not an opponent.

In the end, the Chinese team won 79-76 by three points, and Liu Han scored 39 points alone, in addition to 7 assists and 8 rebounds, almost single-handedly destroying the Slovenian defense.

After the training of this game, the men's basketball players are full of confidence in the Olympic Games, because they know that at any moment, Liu Han will step up and save the team.

After this match, Liu Han will return to the football national Olympic team, which will depart for Australia early on September 5, and the first match of the national Olympic team will be played on September 13 against a strong Spanish team.

Liu Han will have to travel to Sydney for the opening ceremony after finishing his match with Spain in Adelaide, Australia, because he will be the flag bearer of the Chinese sports delegation at this Olympic Games.

It can be said that no one has any opinion on Liu Han as the flag bearer of the delegation, although Liu Han has not won any decent glory on behalf of the national team, but he first made great achievements in the NBA, and then moved to another project, and once again succeeded, it can be said that athletes like Liu Han are unique in China, and Liu Han has also won the recognition of many fans around the world with his excellent results, and his own image is also very positive, no scandals, no scandals, And it is also very affectionate, it can be said that there is no athlete in China who can have such a great influence and such a positive image as Liu Han.

With the country's gradual opening up, China's external propaganda work is lagging behind, and some "anti-China" forces in the world continue to smear the country, which makes many people who do not know about the country have doubts, and now there is such a very suitable and worthy of promoting athletes in front of them, the country will not let go of such an opportunity to publicize itself, for Liu Han as the flag bearer, the Olympic delegation from top to bottom fully support.
