Chapter 193: Full of Milk (First Update!) )
"And most importantly, we are in Beijing, in our own home stadium of the Chinese, there are more than 20,000 Chinese fans sitting behind us, but there are more than 20 million people who actually watch the game."
Tang Tian's words made the team members raise their heads unconsciously.
'We've proven what we're capable of, now all we've got to do is wear this national team uniform, no matter who the opponent is, no matter how difficult the game is, give it our all and win the opponent, that's the only thing we have to do.'
"Fight! Whoever he is! Yao Ming shouted.
"That's it, what's so great about Argentina, we have to abuse them the same!" Chen Jianghua is strong-blooded.
"Fuck it! We're going to the Final Four! Sun Yue also shouted.
……
Tang Tian's mobilization could clearly feel that the frustration of the team members had been swept away, and that fighting spirit had returned to their faces.
After leaving the training hall, Tang Tian immediately went back to the office to study the tactics of playing Argentina.
That mobilization, in fact, is just for mobilization, the members of the Argentine team have been playing together for seven or eight years, they have a tacit understanding with each other, and the teamwork in the style of play is not inferior to Greece, and the knockout round of the quarterfinals will be more difficult than playing Spain.
The Olympic Games have a tight schedule, and although it is the knockout round of the quarterfinals, the schedule is still the same as the group stage, with one match in two days.
In other words, two days later, the quarterfinals will start on the same day.
The match between China and Argentina was the last, at 10:15 p.m.
The advantage for the Chinese team is that because the previous game with the United States team was also played at this point, they can be regarded as experienced.
In the quarterfinals, no matter how many teams they played, they attached great importance to it at this stage, and basically did some basic training on their rest days.
The players of the Argentine team are all old arms and legs, and they are also doing warm-up training under the leadership of coach Hernandez.
Because they are all getting older, the training content is mainly based on recovery.
Manu Ginobili, the centerpiece of the team, was doing some basic leg stretches with the help of assistant coach Sachs.
The training is open to the public, because the next opponent is the Chinese team, and at this time there are many Chinese journalists gathered on the sidelines.
As soon as Ginobili finished stretching and sat on the sidelines to rest, several reporters rushed up.
Ginobili smiled at the reporters who poured in.
Argentina played well in the group stage, but because there are not many stars, the attention is far less than that of the United States team or the Spanish team.
"Hey, Manu, I'm Ye Xiao, a reporter from the Basketball Herald, is it convenient for you to be interviewed now?" Ye Xiao grabbed the position as soon as possible, and handed over the recorder as she spoke.
"No problem." Ginobili smiled.
"Argentina played very well in the group stage, is the team aiming to defend the title this year?" Ye Xiao then asked.
"Champion?" Ginobili didn't expect Ye Xiao to ask this as soon as he came up, but he reacted quickly, and then said with a smile, "Yes, every team here is here to win the championship, including our opponent tonight, the Chinese team." ”
Ye Xiao paused for a moment, Ginobili is really an old fritter, this answer is not leaky.
"Yes, the Chinese team, what do you think of the opponent of the knockout round, the Chinese team?" Ye Xiao then asked.
"The Chinese team is the host, they have played particularly well in this Olympic Games, Yao, Sun, Yi, they are all NBA players, as well as Battle, Wang, we have all played against each other in the NBA, their strength is very good, they will be a very strong opponent, of course, and coach Tang."
"Tang Tian?"
"Yes, Coach Don is one of the best coaches in the NBA, he led the Rockets to beat the Spurs that I was on, and I know what he is capable of."
"So you think tomorrow night is going to be a tough game?" Ye Xiao asked.
"Of course, the Chinese team is the favorite to win the championship, to be honest I would rather play the Spanish team than the Chinese team, we have to show 12 percent motivation, otherwise we will lose very badly."
Ginobili's words made Ye Xiao's eyes widen, this is a mouthful of poisonous milk.
Like the Argentine team, the Chinese team also conducted basic training on this day, and the content of the training was mainly shooting.
After experiencing the previous mobilization, the players were in a good state of mind during training, and even had a good shooting touch, one shot at a time.
Tang Tian leaned against the wall to watch the team training, and when the training was about to end, as soon as he turned around, he found Ye Xiao walking towards him cautiously.
The reporter from the Basketball Herald made a lot of impressions on him last time, and he just smiled at this time.
Ye Xiao saw that Tang Tian's expression was good, and walked over quickly.
"Did the Argentine coach say anything more today?" Tang Tian opened his mouth and said.
"No, I didn't interview Coach Hernandez this time, but I did interview Ginobili." Ye Xiao saw that Tang Tian was in a good mood, and immediately said with a smile.
"Ginobili? He's probably breastfeeding me, right? "Tang Tian played against Popovich and the Spurs in the NBA, and one thing the Spurs players had in common when they interviewed was that they liked to milk their opponents.
"Yes, he said......" Ye Xiao then repeated Ginobili's words.
Tang Tian couldn't help but laugh after hearing this.
This Ginobili is even more ruthless than Popovich, and he is full of milk.
"Well, we all know he's poisoning the milk." Tang Tian said with a smile.
"Haha, what do you think of tomorrow night's game? Is there any hope for China to reach the semi-finals? Ye Xiao asked with a smile.
'There's always hope, but it's going to be a tough game, Argentina were champions of the last Olympics and most of the players from that team are still there, like the Ginobili mentioned earlier, and Nocioni, Delfino, Oberto, Prigioni, oh and Luis [Scola], they're really strong and to be honest, I feel like playing them is about the same as playing the USA." Tang Tian smiled after speaking.
Ye Xiao couldn't help laughing, Tang Tian was a mouthful of anti-milk.
"So what do you think tomorrow's game will be?" After Ye Xiao smiled, she asked.
"If you have to say this, let's open it in five or five, but no matter how difficult the game is, every member of the Chinese team will go all out and impact the history of the Olympic Games in their own home, this may be their only chance in their lives, and no one will want to leave regrets." Milk to milk, in the end, Tang Tian still needs to express his stance to the media.
"Yes, I believe in the Chinese team."
Ye Xiao also felt Tang Tian's confidence, put away his smile, and nodded vigorously.
