After the two-week warm-up game, the Chinese men's basketball team returned to the domestic training base and began to carry out the last task before the Olympics——— watching the video.

Watching the opponent's game video, analyzing the opponent's technical and tactical characteristics is what every basketball professional athlete must learn, as the so-called knowing oneself and knowing the opponent is invincible, only in the case of knowing the opponent and understanding the opponent, can we better defeat the opponent.

Under Wang Xiao's arrangement, the Chinese men's basketball team only watched the game video of one team, and the American men's basketball team, or rather, they watched the game video of several NBA teams.

There are many strong players in the Olympic Games, but the strongest and the most concerned will always be the American men's basketball team with the title of Dream Team, and other strong teams such as Spain, France, Australia, etc., although the strength is also very good, but in Wang Xiao's vision, there is only the American men's basketball team.

In the NBA game footage he commissioned the assistant coach to collect, James and Durant accounted for more than 70 percent, and the remaining 30 percent were the videos of George, Thompson, Anthony, Irving and other players.

How to limit the play of James and Durant has become the most important issue for the Chinese men's basketball team.

Although Wang Meng's defense in the front line is very strong, he can only target one of these two, and even Wang Meng is now at the peak of his life. Artest is on par, and facing the league's top superstars like James or Durant can only play a role.

If you want to compete with the U.S. men's basketball team, joint defense tactics are a must.

One of the particularly good advantages of FIBA's rules of play over the NBA is that there is no three-second zone and the three-second rule of defense, which allows defenders to stay under the basket and defend.

Wang Xiao has Hao Peng, the trump card on the defensive end, and if he makes good use of this rule, he can completely strangle the breakthrough that the American men's basketball team is best at.

When defending James and Durant, you can also use the strategy of preventing them from entering the interior, and then use Hao Peng and Wang Meng, two super defensive players, to encircle and suppress them.

If you want to implement this tactic, the first and most important point is to reduce the pace of the game, the US men's basketball team is obviously full of the current NBA habitual small-ball tactics, when the speed is raised, there is a terrifying dominance on both offensive and defensive ends.

And this depends on Jeremy Lin's ability, as a master of court control, if he can slow down the pace of the game on the court and enter the positional battle, then he can take the initiative in the matchup with the American men's basketball team.

……

As the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games is getting closer and closer, people are paying more and more attention to the Olympic Games, although the number of warm-up games before the Olympic Games is not much, but the quality of each game is very high, especially with Australia and several European teams in the warm-up game, the game is wonderful back and forth, although everyone knows that this is just a warm-up game, both sides have reservations, the purpose of the warm-up and performance is greater than the victory or defeat, but it still gives many people confidence.

On August 2, the Chinese Olympic sports team assembled and flew to Rio de Janeiro on a special plane.

On August 3, the Chinese Olympic team stayed in the Olympic Village, and while complaining about the poor accommodation environment in the Olympic Village, they also stepped on and became familiar with the Olympic venues.

On August 4, the rehearsal for the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games.

As a hero who gave up his American citizenship to fight for his country, Jeremy Lin became the traffic representative of the Chinese sports circle after returning to China, and at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, Jeremy Lin became the flag-bearer of the Chinese delegation at the opening ceremony.

This is undoubtedly an honor, Wang Xiao remembers that the flag-bearer for 16 years should have been Lei Sheng, a foil athlete of the fencing team, but now he is Jeremy Lin.

……

On August 5, the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games officially began, and the Olympic Games were also opened with the lighting of the Olympic flame.

On August 7, the first round of the men's basketball program was played in Hall 1 of the Carioca Arena in Rio de Janeiro.

Although it was only the opening match of the first round of the group stage, it attracted the attention of many audiences, and for no other reason, there was a much-anticipated peak showdown in the opening game.

Chinese men's basketball team VS American men's basketball team.

That's right, the opponent of the Chinese men's basketball team in the first round of the group stage is the American Dream Team.

The dominance of the Dream Team in international basketball has long been entrenched.

As for the Chinese men's basketball team, although they lost five consecutive defeats in the group stage of the last London Olympics and lost Da Yao, their strength was greatly damaged, but in recent years, a legendary coach Wang Xiao has been killed, and he has personally cultivated Jeremy Lin, Cheng Jie, Wang Meng, Hao Peng and other NBA first-class top players, which has made the strength of the Chinese men's basketball team grow rapidly.

No one knows how strong the Chinese men's basketball team is now, but there is no doubt that they can definitely wrestle with the American Dream Team!

……

"Guys, it's just a group game, but it's against our strongest opponent in this Olympic schedule, the United States." On the sidelines, Wang Xiao looked around at the players and said in a deep voice: "Q: I said early in the morning that my goal in this Olympic Games is to win the championship and win the gold, in order to achieve this goal, the United States is the opponent we must surpass, for this day, we have been preparing hard for a long time, so this game must be won!" ”

On the other side, the members of the U.S. men's basketball team also gathered.

It was the head coach of the U.S. men's basketball team, Lao K, who spoke.

"I'm sure you're all familiar with who the opponent's head coach is in this game." Old K's tone was flat, but with a hint of seriousness. "The NBA championships in the past few years have basically been won by that guy, he is very good, and at the same time, in his team, there are two NBA champions, and there are three lottery draft players. (Yi Jianlian was also a rookie in the lotto area in 07)"

"If you have a sense of contempt because of the poor record of the Chinese men's basketball team in the past, then we are very likely to lose the game......"

There is no doubt that this game, whether it is the Chinese men's basketball team or the American men's basketball team, attaches great importance to it!

The atmosphere was extremely solemn from the start, and the players of both teams were serious and serious, and neither side wanted to lose the game.

……

The starting lineup of the Chinese men's basketball team is point guard: Jeremy Lin, scoring guard: Cheng Jie, small forward: Wang Meng, power forward: Yi Jianlian, center: Hao Peng.

And the starting five of the U.S. men's basketball team is point guard: Kyrie. Irving, Shooting Guard: Paul. George, small forward LeBron. James, power forward Kevin. Durant, center DeMarcus. Cousins.

The game starts with players from both sides entering the field and jumping the ball.

When Cousins and Hao Peng stood together, there was still a hint of provocation in their eyes.

As the center with the best data in the league at present, Cousins has faintly the momentum of the league's No. 1 center because of his 20+10 double-double data this year and the performance of the Kings in the Finals.

However, Hao Peng's participation in the draft and being elected champion made these voices quieter.

Both fans and professional sports media commentators are generally optimistic that Hao Peng will dominate the basket and become the league's No. 1 center after entering the NBA.

This made Cousins very unhappy.

Although he has watched Hao Peng play and admits that Hao Peng is indeed very strong, he does not think that he is much worse than Hao Peng.

Now, he finally has the opportunity to face Hao Peng head-on.

"Look! I'm going to let you know who's really the league's No. 1 center! ”
