Chapter 188: Crazy (Second Update!) )
Tang Tian's mobilization was very effective, and in addition to being excited, the team members also had a trace of ruthlessness.
European teams like to fight and small moves, and to play against them, this kind of ruthlessness is a must.
On August 12, Beijing time, after a day of rest, at 4:45 p.m., still at the Wukesong Arena, China and the team ushered in their second match of the Olympic Games, and the opponent was the powerhouse Spain.
The Spanish team has Gasol and Gasol, and has Navarro, Fernandez, Calderón and other top outside players, and is unprecedentedly strong on paper, ranking second only to the United States in the pre-match power rankings.
As coach Aitto said, their main opponent is the United States, and they are playing the same role that has been successful in stopping the United States over the past decade.
Yesterday's report by the Basketball Herald successfully provoked the anger of the fans.
Although it was afternoon, there was still a large number of Chinese fans in the stadium, and they were all holding back a fire in their hearts, waiting to vent tonight.
"CCTV, CCTV, good afternoon friends from the audience, welcome to watch the live broadcast of the Olympic men's basketball event, the next thing I want to bring you is the match between the Chinese team and the Spanish team, I am the commentator Yu Jia, this is my partner Zhang Weiping Zhang guidance."
"Coach Zhang, we know that there is a lot of war of words before the game, do you personally think that the Chinese team has any hope of winning this game?" Yu Jia said and turned his head to look at Zhang Weiping.
"Very promising." Zhang Weiping gave a very positive answer.
"In the past, we would say that there is still a gap between us and European basketball, and Spain is the strongest in Europe, the No1 one, but since watching the first game, I think this Chinese men's basketball team has the hope of winning against anyone." Zhang Weiping was quite confident in his words.
"Yes, we all have to admit the changes that Tang Tian has brought to this Chinese team, the system he has created has brought out the best potential of this men's basketball team, and we all have reason to look forward to tonight's game."
Yu Jia said and looked at the arena, and the players on both sides had already begun to enter the arena to warm up.
Most of the players in the Spanish team have relaxed expressions, except for Gasol Jr., whose expression is more serious, and as a member of the Rockets, he knows very well how much strength his head coach has.
When the warm-up before the game was almost over, he also took the initiative to run over to say hello to Tang Tian.
The final tactical arrangement before the game was completed, and the starters of both sides appeared one after another.
The Chinese team made some adjustments to the starters, Tang Tian replaced Wang Shipeng, who had a poor hand, with Liu Wei, and played with Sun Yue as a double point guard in the backcourt.
From this, we can also feel how much Tang Tian attaches importance to this game.
However, the starting XI of the Spanish team was a bit of a surprise.
I don't know if it is to consume the physical strength of the main force of the Chinese team, or simply to underestimate the enemy, on the side of the Spanish team, the three main scorers on the outside, Navarro, Fernandez, Calderón, only Fernandez appeared in the starting lineup.
Partnering Fernandez at the back is veteran Raul López, with Philippe Reyes and Carlos Gimenez up front, and Pau Gasol in the centre.
Five starts, three of which were team substitutes.
Seeing this kind of starting lineup, the fans at the scene felt a burst of anger.
Tang Tian smiled unconsciously.
It's a godsend.
European teams do not have the ability of the American team to fly away, but the strength inside and outside is very balanced, the biggest characteristic of this kind of team is stability, and when you meet an opponent who is weaker than yourself, you can suppress you from the beginning to the end.
This is the reason why the Chinese team has little hope of playing against European powerhouses before.
"Toot!"
With the referee's whistle, the game officially begins!
Yao Ming brought the ball back to half court, and the Chinese team got the opportunity to attack first.
With the same tactic, Yao Ming pressed to the front court and began to respond.
Yi Jianlian read the defense, seized the opportunity to get rid of the defensive Gimenez, went straight to the basket, and Yao Ming threw his hand to pass the ball out.
Reyes' assist was half a beat slower.
"Bang!"
Yi Jianlian scored with a two-handed dunk directly.
The cheers at the scene shook the sky.
The Chinese team started strongly.
"It's okay, keep the pace." Ayito shouted to the players from the sidelines.
The Spanish team's attack, Gasol is also doing the axis in the high position.
After Yao Ming was transformed into a strategic center forward by Tang Tian, the two had similar playing styles.
These veterans of the Spanish team cooperate very well, constantly blocking and dismantling Fernandez to find opportunities.
However, Sun Yue's defense is also very tight, which is also clearly arranged by Tang Tian before the game.
Fernandez didn't have a chance to receive the ball, Lopes blocked directly with Gimenez, and after dismantling the ball, he stepped back to shoot directly outside the three-point line.
"Bang!"
The ball popped out of the frame.
Yao Ming took the rebound.
The three-point shooting ability of most European players is not very stable, and the stable Fernandez was stuck to death by Sun Yue at this time.
Liu Wei held the ball through the half court and handed the ball to Yao Ming again.
Yi Jianlian and Zhu Fangyu continued to cut the basket empty.
suffered the loss of the last goal, the Spanish team's defense was very tight, Liu Wei ran tactically at this time, and took advantage of Yi Jianlian's blocking and dismantling from one side of the basket to the other side.
Yao Ming's pass was given immediately, which belonged to the cooperation between the teammates of the old Shanghai team.
Liu Wei received the ball and aimed at the basket.
"Huh!"
The basketball is firmly in the frame.
Liu Wei continued the good feeling of the last game to this one.
5 to 0!
The cheers were deafening.
The Chinese team got off to a perfect start!
Aitto was standing on the sidelines at this time, holding his chin in his hand, and his expression was obviously not as confident as before.
The Spanish team's attack, Gasol saw that there was no chance on the outside, so he fell low to catch the ball and hit Yao Ming directly.
The Chinese team is still guarding the man mark, and Gasol singles out Yao Ming one-on-one.
Turn left and right, hook your hand.
"Smack!"
Yao Ming saw the opportunity and directly slapped Gasol's shot out.
The cheers of the audience exploded again.
Although the current style of play is similar, in terms of defensive ability alone, Yao Ming's strength is significantly stronger than Gasol.
After the ball was fanned out, Zhu Fangyu and Reyes scrambled.
Reyes had a lot of small moves in the scramble, but Zhu Fangyu was also a ruthless person, and he grabbed the ball against Reyes's small actions and threw it to Liu Wei on the outside.
Liu Wei dribbled to the front court, glanced at Sun Yue, who was following closely, dribbled forward to the free throw line, and then looked back at the moon and gave the ball to Sun Yue.
Sun Yue received the ball and stopped to chase three points.
"Huh!"
Sun Yue practiced three points in the Rockets for one season, and coupled with Tang Tian's ability to exchange, this ball was also a steady hit!
8 to 0!
The Chinese team went crazy at the beginning!
