Chapter 688: Victory over Spain

The original 2012 London Olympics can be said to be a pain for the whole nation, in 08 years can still reach the top 8, in just 4 years, they lost 132 points in 5 games in the group stage, which set a historical record.

More importantly, in the 2008 Olympic Games, the Chinese men's basketball team was divided into the "Group of Death", among the opponents in the group stage, the "Dream Eight Team" is outstanding, the Spanish team is the champion of the 2006 World Championships, the Greek team and the German team are also strong teams in Europe, and the Angolan team is the weakest, but it is also the African champion.

It can be said that reaching the last 8 has already proved their strength, you must know that they eliminated the German team to enter the final 8 round.

In the 12 years of the Olympic Games, except for the Spanish team, against the United Kingdom, Russia, Brazil, and Australia, which are not much different in strength, the Chinese men's basketball team originally had a certain chance of winning. However, the results of the Chinese men's team were terrible: 81-97 to Spain, 54-73 to Russia, 61-81 to Australia, 59-98 to Brazil, and 58-90 to the British team.

They are averaging just 62.6 points per game.

In the 2012 Olympic Games, to be honest, the only thing that moved the Chinese men's basketball team was probably the persistence of the veteran!

Wang Zhizhi began to compete for the Olympic Games for the country in 1996, and slowly changed from a "boy chasing the wind" to a veteran with some slow movements. However, in the final game of the group stage, the 35-year-old Dazhi contributed a team-high 11 points and 5 rebounds, and also contributed a gliding slam dunk.

In addition to him, this round of the series is also the retirement of two other veterans, Liu Wei, who was known as the most incompetent No. 1 position that year, and Wang Shipeng, the national team sharpshooter who completed a magical duel at the 06 World Championships.

The two of them also had a very good performance in the group stage, and Liu Wei contributed 6.2 points and 2.5 rebounds per game in this Olympics. Wang Shipeng made a total of 13 three-pointers in five games in the Olympic Games, with a shooting rate of 61.9%.

It is also worth mentioning that Wang Shipeng was fighting with an injury at that time, but he was one of the only few players who played with an injury, and he just wanted to leave no regrets.

And this Olympic Games is an Olympics that makes Chinese fans really realize the shortcomings of the Chinese men's basketball team, without Yao Ming, the strength of this team has been completely beaten back to the prototype, not only did they not tear apart the opponent's defensive guards, nor did they have super scorers with offensive ability, and the defensive end could not keep up with the super athletic forwards on the international stage.

These are the problems that the national team has exposed at this Olympics.

It's just a pity that these exposed problems have not been well solved later, but have not completed the replacement of the old and the new, and it is very likely that they will even miss the Tokyo Olympics in the end.

This is the pain that the Chinese men's basketball team has experienced since Yao Ming retired in 2010, which has been painful for ten years, and has not yet found any cure.

Now that Yi Jianlian has experienced this time again, he has been determined to let the Chinese men's basketball team continue to be brilliant, and he is naturally full of expectations for this London Olympics.

Seriously, he hasn't been so excited in the NBA Finals.

The reason is also very simple, he just got the system, and in order to complete what the system says to be the first in NBA history, he would play there so desperately.

But now he is going for the country, and he is playing for the country at the most difficult moment of the national team, his excitement is from the heart, he hopes that this Olympic Games will not become the beginning of the pain of the Chinese men's basketball team, but completely become the beginning of the Chinese men's basketball team's fame!

This is the moment history begins to rewrite!

Brother Yao, I will work hard with your share!

……

Soon, July 29 arrived.

This day is also the day when the Chinese men's basketball team will face their first opponent in the group stage, and they will face the strongest opponent in the group stage, Spain.

The original Chinese men's basketball team played very well in this game, and finally only lost to the latter 81-97, although there was a 16-point difference, but this season's Spanish team is known as the team that "has the strength to compete with the dream team", so this game can be played like this, and it also makes Chinese fans have a certain degree of reverie, they all think that maybe they can enter the top 8 this year.

But the end result proves that all reveries are fancies.

The Chinese men's basketball team experienced various fiascos in the following time.

However, this is what happened originally, it has not happened at this time, and Yi Jianlian is now the first person in the NBA, so the country still has certain expectations for this tough battle, in their opinion, the Chinese men's basketball team will not necessarily lose, the reason is very simple, since Yi Jianlian can take a bunch of stinky fish and shrimp to win the championship in the NBA for two consecutive years, then now with the Chinese men's basketball team may not be able to defeat this team!

Before the official start of the men's basketball game, the Chinese men's basketball team also had very good odds to win the championship, only a little higher than the United States and Spain, around 1 to 9.

In the Chinese men's basketball team has participated in so many Olympic Games, this is the first time that they have odds below 10, and it is obvious that Yi Jianlian has made the Chinese men's basketball team a lot more optimistic about this team.

Already the third seed in the entire Olympics!

And this confrontation between the second and third seeds has also attracted the attention of many fans.

Spain's signature is naturally the "Gasol brothers", but in addition to the Gasol brothers, players such as "Golden Boy Rubio" are also the team's right-hand men.

There must be a tough battle to fight against this team.

One thing to say, this game was indeed a wonderful game, the attacks of the two teams went back and forth, and the score also rose alternately.

Yi Jianlian's score in this game was amazing, and this guy was like his first game back in the CBA last summer, attacking himself as long as he got the ball.

It's just that the offense is high, but his hand is good, shooting 10 out of 15 three-pointers, just this alone, he scored 30 points in the whole game.

Plus his breakaway and mid-range shooting, as well as his free throws.

In the end, he scored 48 points in the first game of the group stage!

You're only 2 points away from getting 50 points!

In addition to him, Wang Shipeng's hand was also very hot, contributing 5 three-pointers, but he also scored these 15 points in the whole game.

But, that's enough!

In the end, in the first game of the group stage that many people paid attention to, the matchup between the second seed and the third seed, the third seed made a total of 19 three-pointers, and the second seed was killed!

In the end, the Chinese men's basketball team won the first victory of the opening game with an advantage of 89-82, 7 points.
