The Chinese men's national basketball team arrived in Rio de Janeiro on August 4.

On August 5th, the Olympic Games kicked off in the City of God.

The opening ceremony was held at the Maracanã Stadium in Rio, and Li Liang, as a member of the Chinese team, stayed in the Olympic Village, put on a red jacket, white pants, and walked at the front of the team with the national flag!

Li Liang, as the standard-bearer of the entrance ceremony, was only determined on August 3.

First of all, the Chinese Olympic delegation has always had a tradition of men's basketball players serving as flag bearers.

After all, basketball players are tall, and before Li Liang, there were six men's basketball flag bearers in eight Olympic Games, with an average height of 2.07 meters.

This time, Li Liang also lowered his average height a little bit.

Since the 1984 Olympic Games, the athletes who have served as Olympic flag bearers have been Wang Libin, Song Tao, Song Ligang, Liu Yudong twice, Yao Ming twice, and then Yi Jianlian in London.

Li Liang became the seventh men's basketball player to act as a flag bearer, which can be said to continue this fine tradition.

In fact, the Olympic team originally hoped to give up the selection of flag bearers to athletes in other sports.

But considering Li Liang's influence and achievements, let him act as the standard-bearer.

For Li Liang, appearing in the Olympics as the flag bearer is really of great significance.

Because in his hometown, in the hearts of his grandparents and grandparents, he is no longer the little good who works in the United States without five insurances and one housing fund!

Although he has been on the news network four times, the old man usually goes to bed at seven o'clock and does not watch the news broadcast.

Grandma reads the weather forecast at most, and is not interested in news broadcasts.

And the Olympic Games, because of the time difference between Brazil and China, will be broadcast live at more than 7 o'clock in the morning.

My grandparents woke up at four o'clock, got up and started to have nothing to do.

A phone call came from home, let me turn on the TV to watch the Olympics, and my grandson played for the national team.

It's terrible now, I saw Li Liang wearing the uniform of the national team and appearing in the stadium with the national flag on TV, and the TV station also gave a close-up shot, which made the old man excited.

For the older generation, the Olympics have a special significance.

At a time when China was lagging behind the West in an all-round way, the spiritual motivation that sports brought to the Chinese influenced a generation.

In this day and age, sports are more often used for entertainment, fitness and even commercial purposes.

But in an era when material scarcity is more scarce and people's spiritual life needs to be filled, those athletes who win glory for the country are heroes in the eyes of every Chinese.

Of course, it is difficult for Li Liang to win a medal on behalf of the Chinese men's basketball team this time, but it is a great honor for him to stand as a flag bearer.

What Li Liang didn't know was that from now on, his status in the family would rise sharply, successfully surpassing the cats and dogs raised at home, and ranking higher.

At the opening ceremony, the Brazilians showed the enthusiasm of South Americans to the world, and the supermodel catwalk and samba conference were really exciting.

Li Liang thought to himself, it feels great to come to Brazil alone to participate in the Olympic Games!

After settling in the Olympic Village yesterday, Li Liang has received eyebrows from beautiful athletes from unknown countries because of his fame.

Many athletes are very good-looking, and they are in excellent shape, healthy and slim, muscular, and flexible.

The Olympic Games are not only a carnival of sports, but also a grand event of entertainment.

One of the most consumed daily necessities in the Olympics is the kit......

What a wonderful Olympics.

……

The day after the opening ceremony, on August 6, local time in Brazil, the Chinese team will usher in their first game of the group stage - against the United States.

The men's basketball tournament is divided into two groups, Group A and Group B, with 6 teams each, and the top four teams from each group advance to the quarterfinals after a single round-robin matchup.

The Chinese team is in Group A, which is the United States, China, France, Australia, Venezuela and Serbia.

The strength of Group A can be said to be very strong, except for Venezuela, there are 4 teams left, and it is not easy for China to win.

Although he defeated Australia in the warm-up match, Li Liang also knew that the warm-up game was a warm-up game, and the official game was an official game, which was completely different.

Especially for China, the situation is even more difficult with a difficult American team.

Although Li Liang is very strong, he has played two warm-up matches with the United States, and he also knows that it will be too difficult to win.

Unless the Hand of God doesn't have a CD, but that would be terrible.

Before the start of the game, Gong Luming asked Li Liang if he should give up strategically in this game.

This is also the traditional art of the Chinese men's basketball team.

If you can't beat it, give up strategically, save all your physical energy and energy for the opponent who can beat it, and strive to win two games and enter the quarterfinals.

Li Liang said no.

For Li Liang, there is no question of retaining energy and physical fitness, and his physical fitness has never been a problem.

"Coach Gong, I think it's also very important to build up the confidence of the players, play normally, you can't beat it later, you are replacing me." Li Liang said.

But he thought in his heart, damn, if I don't play well, I lose too badly, and I won't be laughed at by the NBA's grandsons?

Want to win? And you will shed your skin.

The match takes place at 7 p.m. local time in Hall 1 of the Carica Arena.

The green floor was laid on the spot, which made Li Liang feel quite unaccustomed.

It's too green, too.

The starting line-ups of the Chinese team are Li Liang, Yi Jianlian, Zhou Qi, Ding Yanyuhang and Guo Allen.

And the U.S. team also sent the strongest starters, Cousins, Durant, Anthony, Thompson and Kyrie Irving.

Coach K looked solemn before the game began.

The Chinese team seems to be the weakest team, but the strongest player in the team.

If you want to win against the Chinese team, or win more easily, you must hold Li Liang.

This is a test for both Coach K and the U.S. team.

Before the start of the game, Li Liang stood on the court with his waist crossed early, quite with the momentum of a husband and wife.

Unlike the warm-up game, tonight he had to give his all.

The game between the two sides began.

In the scrum, Yi Jianlian took the lead in dialing the ball, and the ball was given to Li Liang.

The first attack of the Chinese team.

Li Liang called Yi Jianlian's block and dismantle from the outside, and then cut in with the ball in the middle!

The U.S. team contracted its defense, and four people wrapped it up!

That's right, except for Irving, the other four members of the American team all defended themselves.

It's the top defensive treatment.

Li Liang had to jump up and pass the ball to Ding Yanyuhang on the flank.

Thompson immediately rushed back to make up for the defense, and Ding Yanyuhang broke through and missed the shot under Thompson's interference.

The gap is still obvious.

The U.S. team launched a counterattack, and after Thompson received the ball from the outside, he made a three-point shot directly!

But his shot was also interfered with by Ding Yanyuhang, and he didn't hit.

Yi Jianlian steadily accepted the rebound and handed the ball to Li Liang.

Li Liang slowed down the tempo, and he single-handedly attracted the defensive attention of four people.

But Li Liang did not vote for it himself, but passed it to Ding Yan Yuhang.

Ding received the ball and burst into the basket from the right side and passed Thompson, causing a defensive foul on Cousins.

Get to the free throw line.

Hit both free throws.

The Chinese team opened the scoring, while the American team was still looking for a feeling.

Irving dribbled across the halfcourt, and Li Liang defended Durant, forcing Durant to pass after receiving the ball and breaking through.

Thompson then transferred the ball to Irving, who faced Guo Allen's tight defense, dribbled away and then made a pull-up jumper.

It's short.

Yi Jianlian took another backcourt rebound, or gave it to Li Liang.

Li Liang was still not in a hurry, and slowly dribbled through the half.

Basically, 8 seconds past half time, he has to exhaust 8 seconds before he is willing to cross the halfway.

For the Chinese team, fast, must die.

Slow, can die less ugly.

Li Liang still attracted the defensive attention of many people on the U.S. team.

Yi Jianlian came over to block the demolition, and Li Liang pretended to go inside with the help of cover.

However, he suddenly stepped back, in the middle, in the front, at the top of the arc, and made a quick shot of three points directly!

It's still a quick lightning shot speed, and the ball hits accurately! Right in the middle of the basket!

The Chinese team led the United States team 5:0 in the opening game.

Taking advantage of the fact that the state of the American team has not yet played, the Chinese team should cherish this hard-won lead.
