On August 15, the group stage of the men's basketball team of the Athens Olympics finally started, and when the Chinese team members arrived, the first two games had ended.

Angola lost 73-78 to Lithuania in Group B, while Italy narrowly beat New Zealand 71-69 in Group A.

As the whistle blew for the end of the match between Italy and New Zealand, more and more fans began to pour into the stadium, most of them were local students and overseas Chinese, and many fans from Spain also appeared in the stadium.

There was a short interval between the two games, and after the on-site staff urgently cleaned up the traces left by the previous game in the stadium, the Chinese team and the Spanish team began to warm up.

In the interview area, Yao Ming faced the interview with CCTV reporter Yu Jia, and the expression on his face looked relaxed and confident.

Yu Jia asked: "Seeing Da Yao's confident appearance, he should be very confident to win this game?" ”

Yao Ming smiled and said, "Yes, we have to win this game!" ”

"Spain is the strongest opponent in Group A, have we made the corresponding tactical arrangements?" Yu Jia then asked.

"Hmm...... It's classified, you can ask Harris, he's the head coach, and the tactics that the manager leaked must be fake tactics. ”

"Haha, Da Yao is really humorous. Last question, are you confident of making it to the quarterfinals? ”

"Of course." Yao Ming raised his chin, "Do you see my beard?" I told my teammates that I wouldn't shave my beard until I made it to the quarterfinals! ”

Yu Jia was infected by his strong self-confidence, and couldn't help but applaud him, although reason told him that the Chinese men's basketball team wanted to win Spain this time, after all, the Spanish men's basketball team has always been a strong team in the world, but as a Chinese, he believes that the Chinese team at this time needs encouragement, not didactic telling them to recognize reality.

"Looking forward to your performance, looking forward to the performance of the Chinese men's basketball team, I hope to see your clean chin at the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games, and Chinese basketball fans stand behind you to cheer for you!"

Yao Ming nodded and said seriously: "Thank you!" Certain! ”

Yu Jia originally planned to interview Lu Fei, but Lu Fei refused to do the interview.

Lu Fei just said lightly: "If you win the game, come and interview me again......"

He knows better than anyone the strength of this Spain team, so he is more reluctant to be distracted before the game, this Spain team can be called the golden generation in the history of Spanish basketball, although it is still a little young, but with the precipitation of time, their fangs will sooner or later open to the world.

What's more, even a young lion is a lion......

Yu Jia ran from one end of the interview area to the other to interview Harris, but Harris just told him bluntly that if you want to interview, please come back to the interview area after the game, and he is going to score the field at this time.

What a stubborn old man.

Sun Yiping sat down in the live broadcast room early, due to the large number of Olympic games, the host of CCTV was not enough at all, so he could only sing a one-man show this time.

But there's nothing to worry about, for a commentator like Sun Yiping, as long as he enters the state of commentary, even the tone of his voice will obviously become passionate.

What's more, it is to explain the game of the Chinese men's basketball team.

"CCTV ......"

"CCTV ......"

"Good evening everyone, I am now broadcasting to you in Athens for the first game of the men's basketball group stage of the Athens Olympics, the Chinese men's basketball team against the Spanish men's basketball team."

"Actually, it's still half past two in the afternoon here in Athens, but I know that the time in our country is half past seven in the evening, and everyone is in front of the TV to support our Chinese men's basketball team, Yao Ming will accept Gasol's challenge, which will be the first confrontation between the two outside the NBA...... Today, the Chinese team wore a white jersey, and the Spanish team wore a red jersey, and from what I saw from what I saw, the number of Chinese fans at the scene was more than that of Spanish fans. ”

He cleared his throat and continued: "The Spanish team is actually inferior to our Chinese team in terms of the number of NBA players, the Chinese team has 4 NBA players, while Spain only has one Pau Gasol, but there are not a few players who have the strength to enter the NBA, such as their nickname 'Bomb' guard Juan Carlos Navarro, he was selected by the NBA as early as 2002, but he has never been to the NBA, as well as Calderón, Fernandez These players are all players with good strength. ”

"The game is about to start, and we see that the starting lineup of the Chinese team is center Yao Ming, power forward Wang Zhizhi, small forward Li Nan, and scoring guards...... The Chinese coaching staff put Lu Fei in the position of scoring guard, and the playmaking guard is Liu Wei. ”

"This is slightly different from the pre-game media prediction, no one expected that Coach Harris would arrange Lu Fei to the position of scoring guard, and let Liu Wei play the position of organizational guard, you must know that in the NBA, Lu Fei has always played the position of organizational guard, although there are occasional cameo points of scoring guard in the game, but this is not his regular position."

"The head coach of the men's basketball team, Harris, surprised everyone, and I think it will also surprise the Spanish men's basketball team."

The fans of the Chinese team chanted the names of Yao Ming and Lu Fei from the sidelines, and the atmosphere in the stadium was already warm as the game had just begun.

"The coach didn't let me play the starter, he must have been afraid that I would go up and destroy the Spanish ...... in minutes," Zhu Fangyu said as he sat on the sidelines.

In fact, he still wants to be able to start, but he knows that he is still a little worse than Li Nan in handling the ball, just like Yi Jianlian next to him, the two of them are definitely not worse than the team's old players in terms of physical talent, but they have relatively little experience in the competition.

Yi Jianlian sat calmly on the stool, and he was always ready to play.

Although his chances of playing are much smaller than Zhu Fangyu's.

Zhu Fangyu's small forward position is actually not very competitive, the team can play two small forwards, Zhu Fangyu and Li Nan, and Du Feng can occasionally adjust to the small forward position.

The current national team competition between the big forward and the center is too fierce, Yao Ming, Battle, Wang Zhizhi, Du Feng, Mo Ke...... Even Battle was a substitute, so he knew he wouldn't play too much.

Thinking of this, he was even more envious of Lu Fei on the field.

Lu Fei is not a few years older than him, younger than Zhu Fangyu, and at this time he seems to have become one of the leaders of the Chinese men's basketball team.

The referee tossed the ball into the air and both sides jumped the ball.

Yao Ming touched the ball with his fingertips when the ball reached its highest point, and Gasol was only a little bit behind, knowing that it is still useful to be tall.

Yao Ming easily dialed the ball to Liu Wei.

Yao Ming may have a hard time jumping the ball against the NBA jumping men, but as a player who works two centimeters off the ground, Gasol is no better than Yao Ming.

Liu Wei quickly passed the half court with the ball, and was intercepted by the opposite side at the halfway line.

Standing in front of him was the 'bomb' in Sun Yiping's mouth - Navarro.
