Chapter 303: Spanish Team (1/5)
And just like Tang Tian said, under this tactical system, the young Guo Allen played very eye-catching.
He can even squeeze Liu Wei into the rotation.
plus Wang Shipeng and Zhu Fangyu, as well as Zhang Zhaoxu.
This whole rotation is there.
Wang Zhizhi and Liu Wei gradually fell out of the rotation lineup.
Their emotions didn't seem very high, but just like Tang Tian said, they didn't say anything.
They are all old people of the national team, and although they are unhappy in their hearts, they know very well that such a change is good for the national team.
Time flies, half a month has passed in a blink of an eye, the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games was held in London, and the teams of various countries appeared one after another.
This time, the flag bearer for the Chinese team was Yi Jianlian.
The status of the men's basketball team in the national team has always been very high, which also shows that the country attaches great importance to this area.
Although the opening ceremony of the London Olympics was a little worse than Beijing's, it was also exciting enough.
The opening ceremony sparked a wave of discussion among domestic fans, because of the flag bearer Yi Jianlian, the men's basketball team and the Spanish team also became the focus of discussion.
"The UAE is so handsome! Do you understand the analysis of the Emperor of the Ball, can you kill Spain this time? ”
"It's difficult, it's difficult, it's very difficult, you know we didn't do it when Da Yao was here in 08."
"Hey, when it comes to 08, it's really heartache, just one goal, the strongest men's basketball team will make history."
"You can even say that the game was played for a few minutes longer, and Da Yao was given two more minutes of rest, and we won."
"And if we win Spain, we will be more active in the following games, and the strongest men's basketball team will not necessarily stop in the quarterfinals."
"Don't say it, my heart hurts if I talk too much!"
"The men's basketball team in '08 was really the strongest men's basketball team, and I think it was the best game in the history of men's basketball."
"Undisputed!"
"Indeed, but many of you may not know that there is a reason why the men's basketball team was so excited to play Spain, when Spain was filming a promotional video, around a court with a dragon pattern on the floor, made a grimace with two fingers pointing at the eyes and squinting eyes, which was an insult to China."
"Yes, as an old fan, I was very impressed by this, the official statement at that time was a misunderstanding, and some Spanish players apologized, but it was all nonsense, that action was a standard insulting Chinese action, laughing at us Chinese with small eyes."
"Is there such a thing? This is the first time I've heard it, and it's really going to kill them! ”
"So you know why we were able to fight Spain to the end, why Yao Ming was so frustrated after the loss."
"It's really infuriating! I want to do it but I can't! ”
"Actually, we have a chance, Gasol is older, Navarro is older."
"Yes, and this men's basketball team is the most iron-blooded team I've ever seen, plus Tang Tian, I really don't think we have a chance at all."
"Come on, men's basketball team, kill this group of guys and make them pay!"
……
The game against Spain was the debut of the men's basketball team, and because the opponent was a strong Spain, this game was very popular at home.
This time, all the basketball games were played in the newly built basketball arena at the London Olympic Basketball Arena.
The basketball arena can accommodate up to 12,000 people at a time, making it one of the largest in the UK.
However, compared to the Wukesong Arena in Beijing, it is much weaker.
The stadium uses environmentally friendly materials (more cost-effective), there is no large LED screen, and the on-site air conditioning and heating facilities are average.
And after the game, the arena will be demolished.
July 29 was the opening game, and a total of two matches were scheduled, both in the evening local time.
One is China vs. Spain, and the other is the United States vs. France.
According to the arrangement of the organizing committee, each team has about 2 hours of acclimatization time on the day of the match.
Of the four teams that played on the first day, three were favourites, and there were quite a few reporters on the day.
In the morning, the French team and the United States team will be trained, and in the afternoon, the Spanish team and the Chinese team will be arranged.
Spain did not come this time, except for Rubio, the main rotation in 08 came, and in order to deal with the United States, they also planned the Thunder's Ibaka.
Gasol and Ibaka are on the inside, Fernandes and Navarro at the back, plus Calderón and Rodriguez.
Although Pau Gasol and Navarro are getting older, the overall strength of this Spanish team is stronger than in '08.
The training of the Spanish team also attracted a considerable number of onlookers.
They are considered the team most likely to beat the American Dream Team.
Gasol Jr. was interviewed by local media on the sidelines.
"Yes, of course, we can't beat Team America, so what are we here for?"
When asked if he was confident of beating the United States, Gasol Jr. was also full of pride.
This is similar to Paul's later words, "If it is not to defeat the warriors, then what are we doing?" "It's the same thing.
"What do you think of tonight's opponent, the Chinese team?" Naturally, the reporter asked about tonight's game.
'Yes, they're a good team, they gave us a lot of problems in '08 and Yao is a great player.
Gasol Jr. spoke quite officially.
"But now Yao is retired." The journalist reminded.
After the reporter finished speaking, little Gasol laughed unconsciously.
'yes, so it's our opener, that's all, we're going to find our form in the game, we're going to warm up for the next games, and we're going to get all in shape before the quarter-finals come.'
"So it's going to be a warm-up game?" The reporter asked.
"No, I didn't mean that, but our main target this time is the U.S., and we're here to beat them."
……
When Gasol Jr. was interviewed, the players of the Chinese team had already come to the stadium to prepare for the new training.
Deng Huade looked very angry when he heard this, if it weren't for so many reporters, he would probably have to go straight up to find trouble.
Yi Jianlian also frowned slightly when he heard it, and the contempt in this little Gasol's words was very strong.
Tang Tian didn't get angry after hearing it, but felt that it was good news.
In basketball, the weak beat the strong, and in addition to your own play, the opponent's play is also very important.
The Spanish team looks down on the Chinese team, and they must play more casually on the field, at least they will not go all out in the opening game.
In that case, it is actually giving the Chinese team a chance.
Although the probability of an upset in a basketball game is not as high as that of a football game, once the momentum starts, this kind of international basketball game time is short, and there is a real chance.
You must know that even the invincible American Dream Team has lost to opponents like Argentina, Lithuania, and even Puerto Rico back then.
