Chapter 309+10: Team Leader (2+3/10)
The Chinese men's basketball team's next game will be against the host team, the British team.
The situation of the British team is even worse than that of the Chinese team, they have won 0 and lost 3 of their first three games, and as the hosts, they urgently need a win against the Chinese team.
Before the game, Tang Tian mobilized the players of the Chinese team.
This game is the most chance for the Chinese team to win, and it is also the most crucial game that will determine their qualifying situation.
The Olympic basketball stadium was packed.
Although basketball is not a mainstream sport in the UK, as one of the three major balls, the Olympics are not unpopular.
After the start of the game, China dominated the opening period, but soon it was the British team's Ruel Deng who began to explode.
Deng is known as the "British Jordan", his style of play is the swing of the third or fourth position, Tang Tian is not on the top, and the rest of the Chinese team is completely unstoppable.
And the whistle was obviously biased towards the British team, with Chen Jianghua and Sun Yue both receiving two fouls early.
Guo Allen, the substitute of the Chinese team, had a brilliant performance, and he received Tang Tian's pass several times to defend and counterattack.
The Chinese team has also been deadlocked in the score.
The game entered the final quarter, and Tang Tian's continuous steals once helped the Chinese team overtake the score, but the referee once again dominated the game.
After two highly controversial decisions, the Chinese team finally lost 71-74.
The loss hit the Chinese team hard, but fortunately they also gained something.
Teenager Guo Allen scored 13 points and 2 assists in this game, and his performance was eye-catching.
After losing this game, the Chinese team has a record of 1 win and 3 losses, which is the same as the British team and the Brazilian team.
The British team played Spain in their last game and the odds of winning were extremely low.
And the Chinese team and the Brazilian team will play each other directly.
This also means that there is only one way for the Chinese team to advance to the top 8, defeating the Brazilian team.
The Brazilian men's basketball team is very strong, having won the World Championship twice and the Olympic bronze medal three times in the last century.
In this Olympics, they brought all four NBA players with them and tried to break through.
However, the first few games of the group stage were unlucky, and they were beaten by Australia and Russia in a row.
For them, the only way to advance is to beat the Chinese team.
In other words, it is a life-and-death battle between who loses and who eliminates, and who wins and who advances to the top 8.
Playing a life-and-death battle with Brazil, domestic fans are also excited.
"I was on the scene in that game 2 years ago, Zhu Ba's iron fist was too powerful, the Brazilian team that played was full of people, and Zhou Peng's Foshan shadowless feet were also very eye-catching."
"That was the most domineering men's basketball fight I've ever seen."
"I've heard that the warm-up game was quite a sensation in Brazil, and the Brazilian Basketball Association protested to us."
"What are you protesting about, how dirty they played in that game, Zhang Qingpeng was almost hung by their necks when they beat him."
"Yes, it wasn't a big clash, but when Brazil left the pitch, two players made mocking faces at our bench, which led to a second big clash of words."
"They looked down on the Chinese team in their bones, and they were only the second team at that time."
"Isn't it normal to be better than you and look down on you? Both teams win you. ”
"This time, it's just right to beat them once in the arena, didn't they retire last time and go home? Knock them straight home this time! ”
……
On the day of the match between the two sides, the Brazilian team warmed up in the secondary hall next to the main hall.
There were also many reporters at the scene.
The men's basketball team has a number of NBA players such as Nene , Vallejo, Split and Barbossa, and although it has not performed well so far, it has attracted a lot of attention.
After the training, the core of the Brazilian team's outside line, "Lightning" Barbossa, was interviewed by reporters on the sidelines.
"What do you think of tonight's opponent, the Chinese team?" A local reporter in Spain asked a question.
"They're a brutal team." Contrary to the reporter's expectations, Barbossa used a very bad adjective.
"What?"
"When our second team members played against them two years ago, they were subjected to very uncivilized behavior."
Barbossa looked obsessed.
The reporter still doesn't understand why Barbossa cares so much about a warm-up game and a second team.
But this is also a normal thing, few people know that No. 9 Paul, who was beaten by Zhu Fangyu in that game with a blue nose and swollen face, is Barbosa's cousin.
The reporter didn't understand and didn't ask questions, but he didn't stop asking.
"So are you confident of beating your opponent tonight?"
"Of course, we're going to beat the opponent the way we play on the basketball court and show them what basketball really means." Barbo Sha had a murderous face.
The reporter was surprised by Barbossa's reaction.
It seems that the group qualification battle between China and Brazil will be much more fierce than expected.
Before the match between China and Brazil, Deng Huade gave an impassioned speech in the locker room.
It's pure violent chicken soup.
“…… I don't know why we shouldn't win tonight! Beat their ass hard! Take them from here! London! Kick straight back to their Rio! ”
The fight 2 years ago was led by Deng Huade, and he looked as good as he was back then.
Tang Tian didn't say anything at this time, the strength of the Brazilian team is much stronger than that of England and much stronger than China.
And this kind of life-and-death battle, they can't be as light as Spain, and this game will be difficult for the Chinese team.
The team really needs this kind of chicken soup to boost morale.
There were also five or six thousand people sitting in the Olympic basketball hall at this time.
This time, Chinese fans have an overwhelming advantage over Brazilian fans, and there are nearly 2,000 Chinese fans in the huge basketball stadium!
That's a full third of the arena!
This is the life-and-death battle of the Chinese team, and the fans are out of the way!
In comparison, there are less than 100 fans in the Brazilian team!
When the players of the men's basketball team walked to the arena and saw the five-star red flags, they felt that their whole blood was boiling.
Tang Tian's heart was also greatly touched.
Chinese fans are forcibly turning London into their home stadium!
In the warm-up before the game, the players were very excited, and Yi Jianlian even performed a few violent dunks, which attracted a burst of cheers from Chinese fans on the sidelines.
"Tonight is a life-and-death battle for the men's basketball team, and I am proud to be able to see so many Chinese fans at the scene!" Yang Jian in the commentary seat was very excited.
"Yes, you don't know what the men's basketball team is like, but our fans' support for him has never changed." Zhang Weiping also said.
After the warm-up, the players on both sides were introduced to the field one after another.
Along with the release were the starters of both teams.
The Chinese team made a starting fine-tuning in this game, the outside line is still Chen Jianghua and Sun Yue, the front line has become Tang Tian and Yi Jianlian, and Zhang Zhaoxu is the starting center.
The Brazilian side is also the main force, with Marcelo Hurtas and Barbossa on the outside, Marcelo Machado and Nene on the front, and Vallejo in the center.
Yi Jianlian and Vallejo's jump ball.
Yi Jianlian showed a bouncing advantage and turned the ball back into the Chinese team's half.
"It's on!"
With Yang Jian's extremely familiar commentary, countless domestic fans also set their eyes on this game.
Qualify for the battle to the death!
The Chinese team attacked the frontcourt, and Tang Tian organized at the top of the circle.
Yi Jianlian cut to the basket after blocking Sun Yue and pinned down the Brazilian team's defense.
Sun Yue got a chance on the outside after running back.
Tang Tian threw his hand to pass the ball as soon as possible.
A very good point guard three-point opportunity.
Sun Yue's adjusted three-point shot.
"Bang!"
The shot was noticeably heavy, and the ball hit the back edge of the basket and bounced.
Defensive rebounds under Nene protection.
The Brazilian team advanced to the frontcourt, and Barbosa found the inside to block and dismantle Yi Jianlian, and before Yi Jianlian's block, he scored a layup on the inside line.
The Chinese team attacked again in the frontcourt.
Tang Tian didn't organize the ball, but ran a three-point game by himself.
The opportunity came out, but Chen Jianghua's ball was too early and was directly saved by Barbossa.
Barbosa counterattacked after breaking the ball, dribbling past Sun Yue behind the fast break, and adding 2 points to the frontcourt.
"Brazilian Lightning" was still as fast as lightning, scoring 4 points in a row in the opening game.
Tang Tian signaled Yi Jianlian to play Vallejo in the front court.
The ball was in a good position, and Tang Tian gave the ball the first time.
Vallejo is good at defending on the move, and this kind of top-man defense is not effective.
Yi Jianlian's chance, he chose to turn around and shoot, but the shot was a little tight.
The ball slid out of the basket and the rebound was collected by Vallejo.
Brazil went to the frontcourt, Hurtas sent a second pass, and Machado made a three-pointer from the outside.
7 to 0!
Tang Tian gave the ball to Yi Jianlian in the front court, Yi Jianlian was in a deep position, and he turned around and wanted to buckle it directly.
But the ball was a little too strong, and Vallejo fell off the pitch.
Before Yi Jianlian could pull it up, the baseline referee gave an offensive foul.
The Brazilian team played again in the frontcourt, and Barbosa broke through Nene this time, and Nene shook off Ding Jinhui's one-handed dunk in the move.
9 to 0!
Brazil's opening offensive is like a tide!
Deng Huade stretched out his hand and called a timeout.
Barbosa roared at the Chinese fans on the sidelines as he left the field.
He looked incredibly excited.
There was a stirring of Chinese fans on the sidelines.
Although I knew that there was a gap in strength between the Chinese team and the Brazilian team, no one expected it to be like this at the beginning.
"Our players are too tight."
Zhang Weiping's eyes were vicious, and he could see the problems on the field at a glance.
Yes, the body is too tight.
Tang Tian also felt it.
When playing Spain, the Chinese team shot 12 of 20 from the outside, with a shooting rate of 60%.
On the one hand, the reason for the good feel is that it can be let go, there is no psychological baggage, it is normal not to win anyway, and it is a big profit to win.
As a result, after the opening few shots, the back hand really warmed up and the shot became more and more accurate.
But this Chinese team must win, and the players also want to win, and after they want to win too much, they are very tight.
Sun Yue's three points, Yi Jianlian's two consecutive strong hits, and even Chen Jianghua's pass, all reflected this problem.
"Listen to me, don't worry, we don't have a good hand right now, but we can start from defending, defend down, play defensive counter-attacks, we did when we played Spain."
Tang Tian rushed to Deng Huade before he spoke, and directly pulled a few people from the starters and said.
The team members all nodded their heads one after another.
After Yao Ming retired, the leader of the men's basketball team naturally became Yi Jianlian.
However, Yi Jianlian's personality is not suitable for being a leader, and the men's basketball team is actually a masterless division.
But after winning Spain under the leadership of Tang Tian in the first game, coupled with Deng Huade's trust in Tang Tian and his resume of winning NBA championships, Tang Tian is actually the leader of the team.
At this time, he spoke, and the team members could listen.
"Bob, let Roc go up and score steadily."
Tang Tian then said to Deng Huade.
Deng Huade nodded, turned around and motioned for Wang Shipeng to get up.
After the pause, the Chinese team replaced Chen Jianghua with Wang Shipeng.
"This substitution is right, we now need a big-hearted player like Wang Shipeng to stabilize his position."
Zhang Weiping saw this substitution of the Chinese and immediately gave a positive evaluation.
This also reassured the audience in front of the domestic TV set a little.
Tang Tian continued to hold the ball at the top of the arc.
Wang Shipeng borrowed Yi Jianlian's cover to run three points.
The Brazilian team's defense is very well done, whether it is Wang Shipeng who ran out, or Yi Jianlian who went to the basket, they were all taken care of.
But at this moment, what made everyone not react was that Tang Tian's top three points were thrown directly by himself.
Machado on the opposite side was also a little unexpected, you must know that Tang Tian has been organizing attacks since the opening.
"Huh!"
Basketball goes to the net!
Tang Tian showed his big heart ability, and the cold arrow flew in three points!
"Beautiful!"
Yang Jian in the commentary seat shouted directly.
"I said, Tang God, he's the top three-point shooter in the NBA, if he really wants to shoot, he can score if he shoots!"
Zhang Weiping also echoed with a smile on his face.
The sidelines resounded with cheers from Chinese fans.
This three points are too critical and too thirst-quenching!
If the Chinese team doesn't score again, the game will collapse directly at the beginning!
Brazil's offense, Hurtas on the outside, Barbosa cut to the basket with the inside's pick-and-roll.
Huertas showed excellent passing vision and went straight to a beautiful through ball.
"Smack!"
However, this ball was judged by Tang Tian, and he rushed out in advance and directly cut off Hultas's pass!
Sun Yue made a fast attack for the first time, and Tang Tian's long pass in the backfield.
Sun Yue took the ball and attacked quickly, and before Huertas retreated, he dunked the ball directly into the basket!
The cheers of the Chinese fans on the sidelines resumed.
After the pause came back, the Chinese team returned a wave of 5-0 to the Brazilian team!
In this wave of counterattacks, Tang Tian contributed 3 points, 1 steal and 1 assist, and the leadership role is obvious!
"Defend! Defend! ”
This continuous attack also mobilized the emotions of the Chinese fans on the sidelines, and they began to cheer for the Chinese team in unison.
The Chinese team's "home field" began to exert its power.
The Chinese team was very fierce, and the pass after Nene encountered Sun Yue's bag on the inside line was directly passed to Sun Yue!
Sun Yue returned the favor this time and gave the ball to Tang Tian, who was about to go down, and Tang Tian made a beautiful pass behind and then returned it to Wang Shipeng, who followed up.
Wang Shipeng's right wing chased three points.
"Huh!"
Wang Shipeng showed his big heart ability, and he also scored three points!
After the goal, Wang Shipeng was very excited, beating his chest and raising his head and roaring.
The Chinese team fought back against the Brazilian team 7-0!
After this wave of counterattacks, the team's momentum is fully up!
Brazil made a mistake in the middle of the game, and Hurtas and Barbosa made a mistake and passed the ball directly out of bounds.
Brazil's head coach Magnano hurriedly reached out and called a timeout.
When Tang Tian came on the field, he was cheered by his teammates extremely warmly.
After Yao Ming, they finally found a team leader who could lead the Chinese team forward in words and deeds!
