With two hours to go, players from both sides entered the pitch to start their warm-ups. The popularity of this game is not lost to the final at all, the tickets have long been swept away, Chang Wei is right, the Chinese fans did not feel sad for too long because the national team lost to Lithuania and missed the final, they still chose to come to the scene to support the national players.

Every time a Chinese player hits a shot or makes a layup during the warm-up, it can draw a cheer from the stands, and even more so if there is a dunk, the floor of Wukesong Stadium is almost shattered. Chang Wei was very emotional on the sidelines, Chinese fans are indeed a group of very cute people, their requirements are not very high, as long as the players can play a good performance, they will not be stingy with their applause and cheers, and the winner or loser will be placed in second place.

In the locker room, Younas was making the final arrangements before the game: "As I said in the training session, we will focus on the inside line in this game, so I am ready to let Yao and Wang (Zhizhi) start, and Chen (Jianghua), Wang (Shipeng) and Zhu (Fang Yu) on the outside, I hope you can take the lead in suppressing the opponent on the offensive end, and you only need to do your best on the defensive end." ”

Then Yao Ming stood up and said: "Everyone, this is our last game in this Olympic Games, no matter whether we win or lose, we don't want to let ourselves have regrets." We don't have to think about conserving our energy in this game, let's take all our energy and release it all into this 40-minute game, we don't need to have any worries, kill them! ”

As he spoke, he raised his fist, and the others rushed forward while shouting "kill them", and the fists of the 12 people collided with each other and formed a circle, and everyone roared to cheer for the next showdown.

Opening the door of the locker room, Yao Ming took the lead and walked out, and the other players followed one after another, everyone's faces were still blushing after excitement, but their expressions were very calm, it was obvious that their psychology had been adjusted in the face of this game.

In stark contrast to them, the faces of the Argentine players are very solemn, as the last Olympic men's basketball champions, it is enough to be embarrassed that they did not reach the finals, and if they lose to China in the third or fourth place finals, they probably have no face to return home.

The over-nervous mentality caused the Argentines to miss consecutive shots in the first two minutes of the game, including their number one star Ginobili, until 2:14 was marked by Delfino from the outside. The Chinese team, on the other hand, followed Younas's pre-match instructions and tried to put the ball inside every round to let Yao Ming come to play alone.

The two big inside lines in Argentina's starting lineup, Scola is a technical player, and Oberto is a strong inside line, but he is relatively short, less than 2.10 meters, such a height can be ignored in front of Yao Ming.

Of course, Oberto is not stupid, and every time Yao Ming wants to catch the ball, he tries to push Yao Ming outside the three-second zone in an attempt to reduce his threat. But Yao Ming always used the power of his push-out to directly turn around and retreat, followed by Nowitzki's famous move Golden Rooster Independence, Oberto didn't even have a chance to block, so he could only watch the basketball enter the frame.

Argentina is one of the top teams in the world, and the players quickly adjusted themselves on the field. The first to fire was Delfino, who currently plays for the Raptors, and instead of going to the Russian league this year to pan for gold like in his previous life, he continued to work hard in Toronto. While Delfino's three-point shooting has been inconsistent at the Olympics, he is still a reliable shooter who can often shoot from beyond the three-point line in crucial games and save Argentina in the best way he can.

Delfino has been poor on the defensive end, so he'll want to make up for it with points. His shooting opportunities were entirely self-created, and after two laps inside and a few screens, Delfino was always in a small gap, and Ginobili clearly noticed his presence and passed the ball first, followed by a familiar shot.

Even so, Argentina has never dealt with Yao Ming, who has shown a strong desire to attack, and every time he asks for a ball under the basket, Argentina's defense will turn over, so that the other players of the Chinese men's basketball team will get more opportunities to shoot. If it was before the Olympics, the Chinese team's continuous passing would probably have become a joke because of the opponent's steal, but now they are familiar with the frequency of such passes, although there are mistakes, but not so many as fatal.

China's perimeter shooters combined for five three-pointers in the first quarter, and they only used 11 shots, a rare shooting percentage for them. Thanks to the strong firepower outside the three-point line, the Chinese men's basketball team scored 30 points at the end of the first quarter, while Argentina only scored 22 points, and the difference between the two sides almost reached double digits.

In desperation, Argentina could only strengthen the defense on the inside, and they had to withdraw Scola and replace him with Volkovski, who plays in the Russian league, so that he and Oberto could join forces to withstand Yao Ming's attack on the inside. Poor Volkovsky is about the same height as Oberto, and Yao Ming is still comfortable facing two opponents who are not as tall as him.

In fact, this is the biggest weakness of Argentina's squad for this Olympic Games, they do not have a high striker, and the height of the two No.5 positions is no more than 2.10m. Maybe they can still rely on their flexible feet to maneuver with a muscular interior like Howard against the American team, but in the face of an interior hegemon like Yao Ming, who has both height, skill and long-distance shooting, they are simply a tragedy, and being blown up can only be said to be a natural thing, and naturally they will fall behind in the score.

In his previous life, he did not meet Argentina in this Olympic Games, otherwise Yao Ming's ability could help the Chinese team not fall behind in the game. Under Chang Wei's tutelage, the current Yao Ming is obviously the 2.0 version of his previous life, and it is easy to play an Oberto, even if he has Scola or Volkovsky by his side, it is not enough to watch.

At the same time, Yao Ming also takes care of the defensive end, Ginobili's serpentine breakthrough is certainly strong, but the two of them have played each other many times in the NBA, and Ginobili has almost always taken advantage of it, and this time is no exception. For Argentina, the only thing they can do now is let God bless their outside shots.
