Chapter 865: Nash's Request
The men's basketball game kicks off at 2:15 p.m. local time the next day.
The first opponent of the Chinese men's basketball team was Brazil, and the time was 7 p.m.
Brazil play at home, and the time to play as the host nation is also prime.
The time difference between China and Brazil is 11 hours, 7 o'clock in the evening here, and 6 o'clock in the morning in China.
Because of the opening match, this game has attracted the attention of fans of both countries, and the attention in China is unprecedented.
Putting aside the brawl between the two teams in the previous warm-up match, Tang Tian led the Chinese men's basketball team to kill the Brazilian team in a life-and-death battle four years ago, which is enough for Brazilian fans to hate.
Of course, there are also Barbosa's cruel words to Tang Tianfang.
"I'll beat you all in Rio."
This is what Barbosa said to Tang Tian when he shook hands after losing.
Now it's time for him to deliver on his harsh words.
Although the Brazilian team has declined in strength now, it is not a weak team.
Nene and Vallejo can still play, and this interior configuration has already left most of the national teams on the street.
On the Chinese side, Yi Jianlian can be on top.
In addition to Barbossa, there are also Hurtas and Neto, who started playing in the NBA last season.
Even in the forward line, there is also the veteran Barcia.
The inside and outside players are all NBA-level players, and although the Brazilian team is old, it is by no means weak.
In fact, apart from Asian and African teams, there are no weak teams that can break into the Olympics.
The game will start in the evening, and the Chinese team is actively preparing for the game before the game.
The players are adjusting their state and mentality when they are training.
No matter how stable the mentality is before, it is inevitable that the young players will be nervous before the game.
Tang Tian was sitting on the sidelines to rest at this time.
Just then, he received a message.
And the person who sent this message made him a little unexpected.
Nash.
The person who posted it didn't expect him, and the content he posted didn't expect it.
"Beat the Brazilian team, especially Barbossa."
Barbosa has been teammates with Nash for 6 years with the Suns, and they are both rotation players, so the relationship on and off the court should be good.
Nash's personality, in particular, is a very approachable kind.
So it looks really incredible.
However, Tang Tian is a time-traveler, and he knows a lot about some gossip news.
He also knows a little about Nash and Barbossa.
Nash's current wife is not his original wife, his original wife, that is, his ex-wife, is called Alexander.
The two had two daughters and a son before their divorce, and the two daughters were even more loved for attending press conferences with Nash.
But the problem is with that son, who was born black!
Nash and Alexand are both white, and two white people can't give birth to blacks!
Nash divorced Alexandre lightning after taking a paternity test.
It was later revealed that the child's father was Barbossa, who had been exposed to having an affair with Alexandre before.
The green overhead was probably the darkest experience of Nash's life.
It's no wonder Nash sends such a message.
"I will."
Tang Tian's answer was also very concise.
Barbossa said something provocative four years ago, and he was ready to teach Brazil a lesson.
Now that Nash is looking for him privately, he makes the lesson even more memorable.
That night, the match between the Chinese team and the Brazilian team was played in Hall 1 of the Carioca Stadium, which can accommodate 16,000 people.
On the one hand, it is because this is the Brazilian team of the host, and on the other hand, it is Tang Tian.
Because of Tang Tian, the Chinese team, which was originally not concerned, has become the most concerned team in the local area except for the Brazilian team and the United States team.
When warming up before the game, Tang Tian turned his head to look at the half court of the Brazilian team.
Coincidentally, Barbossa was also turning his head to look at the half of the Chinese team.
The two men looked at each other.
Barbossa quickly turned his head.
Four years ago, Tang Tian was just an ordinary role player in the NBA, and he had the confidence to shout with Tang Tian.
But now that Tang Tian has just won the championship, he is the first person in the alliance, and his confidence has long disappeared.
But four years ago, he pretended to be forced by himself, and he had to continue with tears.
After the warm-up, the players of both teams were introduced to the field one after another.
Unlike the NBA, FIBA games introduce an entire team, and they are also based on the jersey number.
When Tang Tian was introduced to the game in the No. 13 jersey, the cheers on the scene were overwhelming, no less than the Brazilian team playing at home.
The domestic fans are even more climaxed on the spot, they know about Tang Tian's change of jersey, and they also know what this jersey means to the Chinese national team!
After the introduction of the players, the starters of both teams appeared one after another.
On the Chinese team's side, Zhao Jiwei and Tang Tian are on the outside, Zhai Xiaochuan and Yi Jianlian are on the front line, and Zhou Qi is in the center.
On the Brazilian side, Barbosa and Hurtas on the outside, Garcia and Nene on the front, and Vallejo in the center.
Amid the cheers of the home fans, Vallejo jumped to win against Yi Jianlian, giving Brazil the opportunity to attack first.
After Barbossa held the ball to the front court, he handed the ball to Vallejo and singled Zhou Qi to the basket.
Zhou Qi's figure was thin, and Vallejo chiseled twice before turning around and putting the ball in the basket.
The Chinese team's attack, Zhao Jiwei dribbled the ball past half court and gave the ball to Tang Tian, who broke through with the ball.
The entire defense line of the Brazilian team was closed in, and the four people wrapped Tang Tian.
Tang Tian distributed the ball to Zhai Xiaochuan in the bottom corner, and Zhai Xiaochuan made a three-point shot.
"Bang dang!"
The shot was a bit off, and it smashed out of the frame.
Vallejo stuck Zhou Qi and closed the defensive rebound.
The Brazilian team attacked the front court again, and it was Vallejo's inside single.
Yi Jianlian quickly assisted, Vallejo's reaction speed was fast, and when he turned around, he hit the ground and knocked Nene.
Nene dribbled up with the ball in three steps, knocked into Zhou Qi and smashed the ball directly into the basket.
In the NBA, Vallejo is a defensive player with little offensive ability, but on the international stage, he can defend and score and pass everything, and he is an all-round interior player.
4-0, the Brazilian team, as the host, opened with a momentum like a rainbow.
The cheers of the fans at the scene broke out instantly.
Four years ago, the Chinese team was eliminated in the life-and-death battle, and not only the Brazilian players were depressed, but the fans were even more depressed.
Now on their home turf, they can finally complete their revenge!
The Olympics are held every four years, which is much longer than the NBA season, and they have more pent-up emotions in their hearts!
The Chinese team's attack, Tang Tian's breakthrough continued to be trapped, and this time he distributed the ball to Zhao Jiwei at the top of the arc.
Zhao Jiwei's three-point shot at the top of the arc had a very positive trajectory, but the ball shot was a bit heavy, and he still smashed out of the frame!
The Chinese team fell into a scoring drought at the beginning!
After all, this team is mainly young, and the mentality of the opening game fluctuates a lot, and the mentality is the thing that affects the stability of shooting the most.
When Barbossa saw this, his originally depressed mood suddenly became high-pitched.
He will definitely not be able to fight with Tang Tianqiang, but the rest of the Chinese team is too weak, so weak that he can't shoot three points in such a big vacancy.
He originally said that he wanted to win the Chinese team in Rio, and according to the difference in strength between the two sides, there is a great hope for the success of this forced pretend!
