Yi Dun didn't force Zhang Zhaoxu to help him, and when the time came, he would find an opportunity to show his hand first.

By seven o'clock in the evening, Eden could clearly feel the nervousness of the players.

This game is a matter of life and death, and if you lose, it will basically announce the end of the Chinese men's basketball team's journey to this Olympic Games.

In the previous two Olympic Games, under the leadership of Yao Ming, the Chinese men's basketball team won the eighth place twice.

Especially Yi Jianlian, he is known as Yao Ming's successor, although the two are not playing the same position, but if you want to say which young player in China is most qualified to be Yao Ming's successor, it is undoubtedly Yi Jianlian.

Now Yi Jianlian is more nervous than anyone else, if he loses this game, the chances of qualifying are very small, and they may also face more embarrassing things, that is, they lost all five games in the group stage!

If this is the case, Yi Jianlian feels that his life after going back must be very uncomfortable.

Yi Dun is okay here, there is no nervous feeling in his heart, what kind of wind and waves have not been seen, this group stage is not qualified to make Yi Dun nervous.

……

At half past seven in the evening, Deng Huade entered the locker room with a group of staff and players, and there was only half an hour before the start of the game.

The translator kept translating Deng Huade's instructions beside him.

"You must do a good job of protecting rebounds, whether it is offensive rebounds or defensive rebounds, you must protect them as much as possible."

"The perimeter defenders have to work hard tonight, especially in the number three and number two, and their Ruhrdeng and Ben Gordon will be our biggest challenge."

"Sun Yue, you must guard Ben Gordon, with your defensive ability, defend Ben Gordon, who is only 191 cm tall, even if you can't completely limit him, you have to find a way to limit his play."

Deng Huade looked anxious, and kept muttering.

The inner and outer cores of this Chinese men's basketball team are Yi Jianlian and Sun Yue, and Sun Yue is still very good at defending the small No. 2 player.

To be precise, it is better than other Chinese outside players.

And Ben Gordon, a scoring guard who is only 191 cm tall, is undoubtedly a small man among the No. 2 players, and it is most suitable for Sun Yue to defend.

A moment later, seeing that it was almost eight o'clock, Deng Huade led his subordinates to begin to enter.

Yi Dun is mixed with many players, it is very inconspicuous, after all, his height ranks first in the team, and he is surrounded by people who are taller than him, if you don't look carefully, you may not be able to see Yi Dun.

However, the camera at the scene still gave Eden a lot of close-ups, after all, Eden's fame is there, even if the host British team's big boss Lu Erdeng tonight cannot be compared with Eden in terms of fame.

"Yi Dun is finally on the court, I hope this game Yi Dun can bring good luck to our Chinese men's basketball team."

"Teacher Zhang, before the game starts, let me comment on what is the winning rate of our Chinese men's basketball team in this game?" The CCTV host asked Zhang Weiping on the side.

Zhang Weiping nodded, his face deliberately relaxed, "From my personal experience, the chance of our Chinese team winning the British team must be at least sixty percent, which means that our chances of winning are greater." ”

"There may be fans who doubt my opinion, after all, there are two NBA stars in the UK, and there is a more important rotation player for the team like Mullins, in terms of stars, it must be far better than the Chinese men's basketball team, but the basketball game is not about who has more stars, who can win."

"If you want to talk about the rationality of the lineup and the average strength of the players, I still think our Chinese men's basketball team is better." Zhang Weiping talked eloquently, and he didn't know if he really thought so in his heart, or if he was comforting those fans.

"Mr. Zhang, we haven't seen Yi Dun appear on the world stage for a long time, do you predict that Yi Dun can have a good performance this time?" The CCTV host asked again.

Zhang Weiping shook his head, smacked his lips and said, "It depends on whether Deng Huade will give Yi Dun a lot of playing time." ”

"The main thing is that Yi Dun plays the No. 4 position, which conflicts with Yi Jianlian's position, otherwise, I am still very optimistic that Yi Dun can play an excellent performance."

"Let's not mention Eden's achievements in other projects, let's just say that Eden is a player, in fact, I feel that Eden is a very cost-effective player."

"He will help you with as much playing time as you give him, and he will give you as much stats as he gets, and there is no more practical player in the world."

"In this game, let's look at Yi Dun's playing time, if nothing else, Yi Dun's playing time may not be much, but compared to his playing time, his statistics are definitely not bad."

Just when Zhang Weiping was commenting on the game, the referee had already begun to blow the whistle, signaling the starters of both sides to come on.

The starting lineup of the Chinese team is Dazhi, Yi Jianlian, Zhu Fangyu, Sun Yue and Liu Wei, and Yi Dun and Zhang Zhaoxu are both substitutes.

At the beginning of the game, the Chinese team failed to win the opponent in the jump ball session, allowing the British team to win the ball in the first offensive round.

Ben Gordon controls the ball and pushes forward, although he is a No. 2 player, but Ben Gordon is not unable to play the No. 1 position, he is a relatively common two-way defender.

It's just that Ben Gordon's strongest point is offensive firepower, and if he is really in charge of the whole field organization, it will undoubtedly be self-defeating.

The ball had just crossed the halfway line, and Sun Yue had already blocked it.

"Good guy, why is Sun Yue so tall, almost a head taller than that Gordon."

"I don't know if Sun Yue can lock this Gordon, if he can lock it, we will have a show in this game."

Yi Dun and Zhang Zhaoxu sat in the audience chatting, and Yi Dun was envious of Sun Yue's height.

If he has Sun Yue's height, it will be too much, and his strength can at least double!

……

Ben Gordon wanted to break through Sun Yue in disguise, obviously he underestimated Sun Yue too much.

Although Sun Yue didn't mix up in the NBA, his defensive awareness was quite good, and seeing Ben Gordon in disguise, he immediately took a step back and didn't give Ben Gordon a chance to pass him.

Ben Gordon didn't think about it, how could it be so easy to pass people on the court, everyone is a professional player, and it is not an amateur water friend game.

After reaching the three-point line, Ben Gordon accelerated sharply, and in terms of speed, he was sure to beat Sun Yue.

After accelerating, he found a teammate's block, and then hit a three-point shot, hitting it steadily, giving the British team the first lead.

Three-point shooting can be said to be Ben Gordon's best offensive weapon, with an average shooting rate of 40+ per game in the NBA, and he is definitely the top three-point player in the NBA.

On the stage of the Olympic Games, Ben Gordon also shot a lot of three-pointers, and the effect was quite good.

Sun Yue watched Ben Gordon, who was opposite him, hit a three-point shot, and he was naturally very unhappy in his heart, this opening three-point was too deadly.

Yi Dun and Zhang Zhaoxu sighed, there is really no way, this is the strength of the star, Sun Yue's defense is already in place, but he can't stand this Gordon's three-point fast and accurate.

Next, in the offensive round of the Chinese men's basketball team, Liu Wei controlled the ball to the front court and directly found Yi Jianlian.

When Yao Ming was there, Liu Wei controlled the ball and went to the front court to find Yao Ming, and when Yao Ming was gone, Liu Wei began to look for Yi Jianlian, I have to say that if Liu Wei was not hindered by physical hardware, he would definitely be able to become a top point guard.

At least the point guard should have the eyesight, Liu Wei is fully equipped.

The British team's big forward is not strong, in fact, Zhang Weiping is right, if you want to talk about the average strength of the players in the team, the British team is not necessarily stronger than the Chinese team.

They are stronger than those three NBA players, and the strength of other players is not very reliable, or it may not be the status of European basketball brothers.

In the end, Yi Jianlian shot in the middle of the right side of the basket and pulled back two points for the Chinese men's basketball team.

In the next three minutes, Yi Jianlian's side was full of firepower, and he played quite well, and there was really a trace of Yao Ming's shadow.

On the British side, Ben Gordon was upset except for the first three points, and missed two consecutive iron shots.

Lu Erdeng only shot once, and he didn't hit it.

On the contrary, it was their center Mullins who broke out, pushing the boss twice in a row on the inside, and won the dunk.

Before the game began, I am afraid that everyone's attention was on Ben Gordon and Ruhr Deng, and not many people cared about this Mullins.

But I never expected that this Mullins would become the biggest opponent of the Chinese men's basketball team.

It's normal to think about it, Mullins is also a player in the rotation in the NBA, and he can get about 9 points and 5 rebounds in 22 minutes per game.

And Yi Jianlian averaged 17.7 minutes per game in the Washington Wizards last season, but he only recorded 5.6 points and 3.9 rebounds.

It can be seen from this that this Mullins is really underestimated, and now this inconspicuous white center has caused great trouble to the Chinese men's basketball team.

Yi Dun sat on the sidelines, and he felt that something was going wrong.

Now Yi Jianlian is powerful, and the opponent's twin stars have not been able to perform anything, which makes the two sides generally bite the score situation.

Even a fool knows that it is impossible for Deng Huade to rashly replace Yi Jianlian in this game, and it is estimated that Yi Jianlian will stay on the field all the time.

In this case, what should I do?! How else do you appear, you have to know that you are Yi Jianlian's substitute, Yi Jianlian doesn't play, where will he appear.

However, now that the scores of the two sides are tight, Yi Dun feels that if he doesn't play, the Chinese men's basketball team can win this game, then he can accept it.

Now I'm afraid, I'm afraid, the other party's twin stars suddenly start to erupt, and it's a little unbearable.

……

Halfway through the first quarter, the British called a timeout.

Yi Dun thought that the British team wanted to make a substitution, and if he replaced the substitute players, then Deng Huade might replace Yi Jianlian for a break of three or two minutes, so that he could play.

As a result, there were no substitutions on the British side, none of them were changed, and it was still the same five starters.

"Don't think about it, the five players that Britain can handle now are on the field, and they don't have to be used to death." Zhang Zhaoxu whispered to Yi Dun on the side.

Just now, Deng Huade has already asked Zhang Zhaoxu to warm up, and when the timeout is over, he will replace Dazhi on the stage.

Dazhi is now old, and it is certainly unrealistic to expect him to fight hand-to-hand with young centers under the basket for a long time, and at this time Zhang Zhaoxu's role can be played.

……

At the end of the timeout, Zhang Zhaoxu of the Chinese team replaced Dazhi, while the British team promoted Lu Erdeng to the fourth position to defend Yi Jianlian.

Although Ruhr Deng is a small forward, he is 206 cm tall, and he is not unable to play the No. 4 position at his height in this FIBA event at the moment.

And mainly to defend Yi Jianlian, he must still come how to come on the offensive end.

……

As a result, Lu Erdeng failed to lock Yi Jianlian, but the defensive effect is definitely much better than the parallel forward just now.

Yi Jianlian's offensive efficiency was limited, but Mullins on the British team's side, under the care of the fat and strong Zhang Zhaoxu, could not score as easily as he did just now.

I have to say that Zhang Zhaoxu's growth in the past two years is simply visible to the naked eye, the original Zhang Zhaoxu can only be said to be a good young player, and now he can be said to be China's No. 1 center.

It's just that in terms of game experience, it is much worse than Dazhi, so it is still the starting position of Dazhi.

The scores of the two sides are still tight, and the fans watching are worried.

If the Chinese men's basketball team suffers a big loss at the beginning, then simply turn off the TV and stop watching, if it gets a huge lead at the beginning, it will look very comfortable.

I'm afraid of the current anxious situation, and the fans who watch it don't dare to take a breath.

Not to mention the fans, even Yi Dun sat on the sidelines and watched with worry, the two sides came and went, and no one had the momentum to lead.

……

Just when there was only one minute left in the first quarter, the two sides were still tied at 21:21, and the result was abrupt.

Sun Yue, the outside core of the Chinese men's basketball team, sprained his ankle when defending Ben Gordon's disguise and went straight off the court!

This is definitely bad news for the Chinese men's basketball team!

Judging from Ben Gordon's offensive efficiency in the first quarter, Sun Yue's defense was undoubtedly very successful, except for some fairy balls, Sun Yue let Ben Gordon fail to fully show his offensive firepower.

But now that Sun Yue is injured, what should I do next? Fans can already foresee the tragic situation that will follow.

Yi Dun was a little anxious, and wanted to take the initiative to invite Ying to appear, looking at Deng Huade with blazing eyes, wanting him to think about himself.

As a result, Deng Huade's side didn't notice Yi Dun's fiery gaze at all, and now Deng Huade's head is directly bigger, without Sun Yue, the outside core, the Chinese men's basketball team is really difficult.

Seeing Wang Shipeng being replaced, Yi Dun sighed silently.

This can't be blamed on Deng Ward, at such a critical moment, even if Yi Dun stood up and patted his chest and said that he could help the team on the offensive and defensive ends, Deng Ward would definitely not let Yi Dun come on the court to replace Sun Yue's position.

Everyone knows that Eden has no offensive firepower at all, and he is not very fast in terms of speed, so it is difficult to play against outside players.
