The match between China and Spain was the second on the afternoon of August 12, and before the start of this game, there was another match in Group B, with Greece unexpectedly beating Germany 87-64, which made Chang Wei more wary of the European powerhouse. However, for the Chinese men's basketball team, it is serious to deal with Spain in front of them first, and the game in Greece is still ahead!

Surprisingly, Spain did not start the Gasol brothers in this game, but let Philippe Reyes, who plays in the Spanish league, partner Gasol Jr. as the team's starting interior combination. Although Reyes has no NBA background, he has excelled in Spain, is good at running off the ball, can participate in the team's fast break, and has good flexibility. From this aspect, it can be seen that Spain is also prepared to use athleticism to break down China's defenses, which of course they think.

After two years of NBA-level training and special training given to him by Chang Wei before, Yi Jianlian's performance in terms of movement speed and air cutting is also good, and he may not be able to compete with Reyes.

Of course, Chang Wei is still worried about Spain's outside line, and although they sent a young Rubio instead of Calderon as the starting point guard, Navarro in the second position and Fernandez in the third position are not easy to mess with. Spain don't seem to care about small forwards, they are more used to swaying tall guards upwards, and the only pure No. 3 is more of a soy sauce player. However, that doesn't mean Spain's flanks can't do it, and Fernandez can afford to be a number three.

Before the start of the game, Gasol Jr. deliberately went to the Chinese team's bench to say hello to Chang Wei, although the two sides are now hostile, but he knows that the reason why he can have such a level today is inseparable from Chang Wei's efforts in Charlotte.

Chang Wei is also very optimistic about this young big man, so he will spare no effort to help him grow, and strongly recommend Gasol Jr. to become the starting center of the Bobcats. However, he always has no advantage in the NBA against Yao Ming, Chang Wei deliberately joked: "Mark, you are going to face Yao Ming again, are you sure to beat him on our soil this time?" ”

Gasol Jr. had a bitter face: "I don't know, Yao is a difficult opponent to deal with." I also watched your last game live, and I always feel that Yao's strength has increased further. Often, I just say these things when I'm chatting with you, but this time my goal is to limit Yao's play on the inside as much as possible, and the rest depends on my teammates. ”

At 4:45 p.m., the second game of the Chinese men's basketball team in this Olympic Games started on time, and the Wukesong Gymnasium was full. Obviously, the 21-point loss to the United States in the first game did not discourage the Chinese fans, who are still looking forward to this game.

Yao Ming used his height to help the Chinese team get the ball in the first round, but unfortunately Sun Yue's breakthrough layup was interfered with by Reyes, and Gasol Jr. accepted the rebound and then handed it to Rubio. Rubio is a hot rookie in next year's NBA draft, and has already made a name for himself among the young generation of Europe, but he is still only a player in the national team, and Spain coach Reynces is just hoping that he can grow up quickly in the atmosphere of the Olympics.

After taking the ball across the halfcourt, Rubio handed the ball to Navarro on the weak side for the first time, and did not give Chen Jianghua a chance to entangle, he has already seen the strength of this young point guard in the Sino-American war. Navarro was also not polite, as the leading scorer of the Spanish men's basketball team, he took the ball without giving up, and with the help of Gasol Jr., Navarro quickly pierced Sun Yue's defense, and easily hit his trademark throw before Yi Jianlian came up to make up for it.

Sun Yue slapped his face, looking very annoyed. Although this time it was Gasol Jr. who pulled high to cover, he still thought it was his fault, because he didn't squeeze in the first place to continue to mark Navarro. Of course, even if Sun Yue arrives, he may not be able to stop Navarro's throw, but this defensive attitude is very important, even more than the result.

However, Sun Yue quickly made amends, and when he turned around, he received Yao Ming's pass in the bottom corner, and hit a three-point shot, which was also the first goal scored by the Chinese team in this game. This somewhat lowered the guilt in Sun Yue's heart, but it wasn't over yet, he was determined to stop Navarro the next time he attacked with the ball, at least let him pass the ball instead of shooting.

Sure enough, Spain's second attack was still handed to Navarro, and this time he still summoned Gasol Jr. to come up and block it. This is also the difference between European players and American players, they don't have a lot of individual heroism in their hearts, and they will definitely not hesitate to talk to their teammates if their help makes it easier for them to complete the task.

But this time Sun Yue quickly squeezed through the cover and chased after Navarro's ass. His three blocks against the U.S. men's basketball team impressed the Spanish players, and he found that he did not get rid of Sun Yue, and Navarro was left with only two options, one was to continue to break through and fall into the bag of Sun Yue and Yi Jianlian, and the other was to pass the ball out first while the opponent was not yet closed.

The sane Navarro made the right choice, he jumped high and threw the ball to Fernandez outside the three-point line, Zhu Fangyu rushed directly when he saw this, he always kept in mind Younas's instructions and could not give the opponent any chance to shoot easily. It's a pity that Fernandez has enough physical fitness to be comparable to black players, he pushed through Zhu Fangyu's defense, pulled out his hand directly, and the basketball went into the basket. Although Fernandez didn't have any expression, Zhu Fangyu still felt hot on his face.

Younas's face is very ugly, he doesn't know whether Reynseth is intentional or unintentional, Spain didn't intend to score deep inside from the beginning, their two shots were outside the three-second zone, and they didn't collide with the Chinese team's inside combination at all. Of course they have that quality, but that's not what Younas wants to see, and he wants to put more pressure on the other side.

So he simply stood up and walked to the sidelines, shouting at the players on the field, "Don't you remember what I said before?" Run! Run! Run! Run for me! Don't skimp on your stamina, there are still people behind you who can continue to appear! If I see you walking on the court, I'll replace you and let the person who can run go up and play! ”
