Meng Xiaohao burst into the inside line and made a strong layup, beautiful! Meng Xiaohao showed excellent confrontation and form in the first game! ”

The basketball tournament of the Paris Olympics has now officially begun.

The Chinese team is still in a good group, and they are in a group with Poland, Venezuela and the host France.

Poland and Venezuela will not cause much trouble for the Chinese team, and their biggest problem is the French team, after all, they play Lucas.

Therefore, there is no problem for the Chinese team to advance, and the biggest challenge is to compete for the top spot in the group.

The match against the French team is the most interesting.

China's first game was against Poland.

The current Polish team is not very good, the heyday of the Polish team was in the 2015 Men's Basketball World Cup, and the Polish team at that time was also a strong team in Europe, but after the Polish Iron Riders got old, Polish basketball collapsed until 2023.

In the summer of 2023, a young man who has been hailed as the savior of Polish basketball was born, with a very well-rounded skill set and excellent in all aspects.

But the player didn't make it to the North American League, he turned down the invitation of the North American League, he went to play in the European League, and played in a club in Poland.

Because of his outstanding performances at the club, he was easily recruited by the Polish team, and at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games men's basketball qualifiers, he was almost unstoppable.

But unfortunately, he accidentally sprained his ankle during training in the team, and the time of his return was doubtful.

Without that rising star, it will be a bit of a struggle for the Polish team to make a difference at the Olympics.

In the first game, facing the newly rising Chinese team, they wanted to promise them, which was indeed a bit difficult.

In the face of the trident composed of Meng Xiaohao, Wang Shengqiang and Li Mulin, the defense of the Polish team is really more than enough and not enough, which makes the Polish team a headache.

The coach of the Polish team saw that his team had been pressed and beaten on the court, and in the second quarter alone, the players of the Polish team were slightly tired, which made the coach of the Polish team sigh.

"It's a bit hard to win this game."

Just watched Meng Xiaohao come to the front court with the ball, suddenly a rhythm disguise, shook the defenders, and then went straight to the inside, facing the defenders who came to make up for the defense, Meng Xiaohao's hand was lightly picked, and the ball was put into the basket.

Meng Xiaohao was very excited about this game and especially wanted to show himself.

In fact, it is not difficult to understand, after all, this game is Meng Xiaohao's first international competition, Meng Xiaohao's mental state must be very excited, and in the face of the Polish team, Meng Xiaohao can't let go of this opportunity to score like chopping melons and vegetables.

The rest of the Chinese team also asked Meng Xiaohao to attack, and they also understood Meng Xiaohao's excitement, and he was also the boss of the team, so of course the attack was initiated and terminated by him.

Meng Xiaohao led the Chinese team to attack the Polish team's defense, allowing the Polish team's defense to gradually collapse, and finally won the game very easily.

……

Meng Xiaohao's Chinese team won the first game, and the United States team also won the game.

As the defending champions, the United States team, they have Argentina, Japan and the Netherlands in their group, which can also be regarded as a group of death.

Argentina is the hegemon of South America, the Netherlands is also a European powerhouse, both teams are world-class teams, although the United States team is very scary, but in the face of them, the American team does not dare to have any carelessness.

If one is not careful, there is a good chance that the American team will capsize in the gutter.

In the first game, the U.S. team faced Japan.

Japan is a little better among Asian teams, but it is also the Olympics that have been entered by the climb, and in the international arena, the Japanese team really has no strength.

Being in a group with the United States, the Netherlands and Argentina also made the Japanese people very desperate, after all, Japan was the weakest in this group of death, and compared with the three of them, it was simply a lamb to the slaughter.

The first game of the U.S. team against the Japanese team was nothing short of a one-sided slaughter......

As soon as the U.S. starters pushed a little harder, the Japanese defense immediately collapsed, and the Japanese team's offense could not break down the U.S. team's defense.

Gradually, the Japanese team was opened up by the American team.

The final score was 118-68, and the U.S. team slaughtered the Japanese team by 50 points, setting a record for the largest point margin in the men's basketball team at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

……

After the first round of the men's basketball Olympics, the general team trend has basically settled, and most of them have won what they should have won, and there are few who should not win.

France, who are in the same group as China, also defeated Venezuela.

Venezuela are also one of the better teams in South America, but against France, the odds are slim.

France don't have just one Lucas, they also have a very strong defensive lineup, and in the face of Venezuela's attack, the French team's defense can be described as solid.

Lucas is in charge of the offense, and most of the rest of the players are in charge of the defense.

The tactic of one attack and multiple defenses has been used since Lucas entered the French national team, although it has been beaten through by the attack of the United States team, but the defense of the French team is still the top in the world.

Take Venezuela, basically there is no suspense.

The second opponent of the Chinese team is the French team.

This is the most challenging opponent of the Chinese team in the group stage, and if they win against the French team, the Chinese team will basically lock up the top spot in the group.

Whether you can get a good position in the knockout round depends on this game.

……

"Our next game is against France! You know their horrors! ”

Wang Deming gathered the players of the Chinese team into his room and conducted a wave of analysis of the situation in the next game.

"The scariest thing about France is the defense, their defense is the best in the league and we will have a tough next game."

The crowd nodded.

"The French team's tactics are that Lucas mainly attack, and the rest of the people mainly defend, so it can be said that it is obvious."

'But whether it's trying to break down their defence or limit Lucas, it's a big challenge for us, so the next game won't be as easy as the last one.

At this time, Wang Deming looked at Meng Xiaohao......

"Xiaohao, Lucas will be handed over to you, you have known him for a long time, and you know him very well, right?"

Meng Xiaohao nodded: "Although it won't be completely restricted, I will do my best!" ”

Meng Xiaohao has the confidence to fight with Lucas.

Wang Deming smiled and looked at the players around him......

"The next game will be tough, but I'm sure you guys can do better!"

"Team China!"

"Rise up!"
