When Tang Tian came out of the office, he heard that someone was practicing in the training hall, and when he looked inside the door, he saw that it was Yi Jianlian.

Yi Jianlian was a player who trained very hard in his previous life, and it seems that this is also continued now.

This is obviously good news.

The national team's training camp continues.

As time went on, Tang Tian also made cuts and additions in personnel according to the state of the players.

Generally, the national team does not do this step until the last moment, but this is obviously not Tang Tian's character, and the final list is set early, and it will be more reassuring and hard for the players to train.

During this period, Tang Tian talked to Yao Ming about Battle.

Because of the problem of training attitude, Battle was completely cleared from the national team, but Tang Tian needed him at this time.

Playing Asian games, when Yao Ming was off the field, Wang Zhizhi and Yi Jianlian could go up, but playing European teams, the big white bears, one old and one young, really couldn't stand it.

In his previous life, Yao Ming was so tired that he faltered when he beat Germany, and almost collapsed when he beat Spain is a good proof, even if he can only top it for five minutes, he needs such a meat shield-type inside line.

And Battle played 17.4 points, 13.9 rebounds and 4.6 assists in the CBA last season, with a shooting rate of 61%, rebounds, assists, and shooting percentages are all career highs, and he also brought the Xinjiang team to the second place in the league, and the state is completely okay.

Yao Ming didn't have any opinions, after all, it was four or five years ago, and it was Tang Tian's mouth.

When Battle joined the team, the national men's basketball team was finalized in late July.

Center: Yao Ming, Battle

Power forwards: Yi Jianlian, Wang Zhizhi

Small forwards: Zhu Fangyu, Li Nan, Du Feng

Scoring guards: Wang Shipeng, Zhang Qingpeng

Point guards: Sun Yue, Liu Wei, Chen Jianghua

This list is not much different from the previous life, in fact, this is also the strongest lineup that Chinese basketball can send at present.

Time flies, time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is August.

It has been one month since Tang Tian arrived at the Beilun training base, and the national team has followed him here and has also received a month of high-intensity training.

Whether it is physical fitness, personal strength, teamwork, or even mental outlook, there have been essential changes from when Tang Tian first came.

Although the average age is not young, the vitality of the whole team is no worse than that of those young teams.

They're ready.

On August 1, Beijing time, only a week before the start of the Olympic Games, Tang Tian took the Chinese men's basketball team on a plane to the capital.

The distance between Ningbo and Beijing is very close, and about two hours later, Tang Tian and the members of the national team appeared at the exit of the international airport.

What they didn't expect was that all the fans outside were coming to pick up and welcome them, and there were three or four hundred people in small numbers.

The national team has been in closed training since the training camp, and with the news that Yi Jianlian was traded to the Rockets, fans' expectations for this national team are unprecedentedly high.

Tang Tian naturally did not dampen the enthusiasm of the fans, and asked the players to take a group photo.

This year's Olympic Games are in Beijing, playing at the door of their own homes, not to mention anything else, that is, the fans will need to cheer for the scene at that time.

The starting point is like this, but this process made Tang Tian a little unexpected.

In the NBA before, because of his handsome appearance, he was always popular on occasions with many fans, and I thought it would be better in China, but maybe I stayed in the United States for a long time and almost forgot his appearance, which is definitely more popular in China!

As a result, in the smiling eyes of the team members, Tang Tian was forcibly pulled by various beauties to take a group photo and rub oil, and finally could only pretend to be cold and leave.

"I don't think we'll have a shortage of spectators at the game, and there will be a lot of female fans." Sun Yue sighed after getting on the bus.

"Be careful of the coach beating you, don't compare with the coach." Yao Ming knocked Sun Yue on the head, causing a burst of laughter from the others in the car.

Tang Tian also shook his head with a smile.

The atmosphere of this team is very similar to that of the Rockets last season, which is a good sign.

After going to the Olympic Village to go through some check-in procedures and adapting to the environment, Tang Tian and the members of the men's basketball team participated in the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games.

The Beijing Olympics is the most classic Olympic Games in the history of the Olympic Games, and the government's large investment in funds and the enthusiasm of the audience have made this Olympic Games destined to make a strong mark in the annals of history.

Tang Tian listened to Liu Huan's "Me and You", and watched those classic landscape paintings and movable type printing up close, which can be regarded as enjoying a completely different experience from watching the Olympics in his previous life.

After two days of training and rest, the men's basketball team made its Olympic debut at the Wukesong Gymnasium in the North Pole.

As a newly built stadium for the Olympic Games, Wukesong has the same scale as the Bird's Nest and the Water Cube, and this stadium can accommodate 18,000 spectators to watch the football on site, making it the top stadium in China.

Like Sun Yue's joke on the bus, tonight's Wukesong was full, and there were really many female fans.

The black crowd, the majestic momentum, after the players of the national team entered the stadium, they all felt that their blood was boiling and their hearts were beating faster.

The venue for CBA games can generally only accommodate five or six thousand people, which is three or four times more, and the feeling is really completely different.

In other words, to be able to play under such a home stadium, the adrenaline of the players will be soaring in their chests all the time.

Of course, the protagonist of tonight is not only the Chinese team, the reason why the first game is so popular is also related to the opponent of the Chinese team.

The U.S. men's basketball team, led by Kobe Bryant, James and Howard, is the opponent of the Chinese team tonight.

Tang Tian ushered in the most difficult challenge in his first national team game.

In addition to the enthusiastic fans who are looking forward to the miracle of the Chinese team, most of them still maintain a rational attitude, winning is a luxury, losing 30 points is considered a win, and even as long as they play morale, it is worthy of them to come to watch the game tonight.

The introduction of players from both sides soon began, and the superstars of the American team were introduced to the game, and the cheers on the scene were also one after another.

Tang Tian could clearly feel a nervous emotion from the faces of the players.

Playing the American team, it is impossible to say that you are not nervous.

After the introduction of the players of the U.S. team, they followed the Chinese team.

Although the reputation is not as good as the other side, the love of the Chinese men's basketball team by the home fans is unprecedented.

When Sun Yue, Yi Jianlian and Yao Ming were introduced, the cheers on the scene were only higher than before.

And when Tang Tian, the head coach, was introduced to the game, the cheers on the scene reached a peak.

Players are the core of the team, but Tang Tian, who has won two consecutive championships, is their greatest hope for creating miracles!
