However, although both sides have already locked in the quarterfinals in advance, the next matchup is very important for both sides, if the Chinese team wins, then they will become the second in Group A without suspense, and then take the initiative in the quarterfinals.

On the contrary, if you lose the game, then the Chinese team, the French team, and the Canadian team will become the same 3-2 record, because they have a winning and losing field between each other, forming a chain set, the Chinese team wins the French team, the French team wins the Canadian team, but the Canadian team beats the Chinese team, in this case, it is necessary to compare the net score, and the Chinese team that won by relying on the stunner is obviously at an absolute disadvantage, as long as they lose more than 2 points in the last game, then they have the opportunity to instantly fall from second to fourth, to face the first Spanish team in Group B.

So after analysis, the outcome of this game has a great impact on the rankings.

Unlike the U.S. team, the Canadian team can be said to be fully equipped this time, with Wiggins, Tristan Thompson, Corey Joseph, Anthony Bennett, Andrew Nicholson, Nick Stauskas, Robert Thackeray and other NBA players all listed.

And the team's manager, Nash, also came to Rio with the team this time, and in the words of coach Jay Triano, they are here for a medal this time.

It's a no-play game for both sides.

The game was played at 10:30 local time, but unlike the previous two games, the crowd on the sidelines was largely retained, and the final game of the USA team in a rampant assault on Venezuela was no longer interesting for fans, and the match between China and Canada for second place in the group was clearly more attractive.

When Tang Shuai appeared on the stage with the Chinese team members, he was slightly surprised to see so many spectators around him, you must know that it is now half past 10 o'clock local time, tomorrow is still a working day, so many people don't have to go to work tomorrow?

However, after the audience increased, his desire to compete also increased, and as an athlete, more spectators can always stimulate the body's adrenaline more.

He withdrew his gaze from the audience, then turned his head to look at the Canadian team, and he quickly saw Nash.

Nash just turned his head at this time, and the two of them looked at each other, and Nash smiled at him.

"Brother Tang, the palace director is going to arrange tactics." At this moment, Zhao Haoyan shouted at him.

He heard the shouting and was about to turn his head, but at that moment, he suddenly saw a familiar figure behind Nash.

Carter even came to the scene!

A look of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he quickly understood.

Carter may not be Canadian, but he has spent most of his career in Canada, and after the end of the season, it makes sense for him to be on the sidelines.

After a brief pre-match warm-up, the match between the two sides officially began.

Both teams are in high spirits, and they are inseparable from the start.

After a while, the two sides tied at 15.

After a period of fighting, Tang Shuai also knew why so many people in the Canadian team repeatedly failed to enter the Olympic Games, in terms of the individual ability of the players, except for Tang Shuai, the players of the Canadian team are stronger than the Chinese team, but the tacit understanding between these people is too low, they are completely alone, and the problem at the defensive end is also very big, there is no formed defensive system, and it depends more on personal ability.

This is actually very similar to the playing style of the American team, and if it weren't for the Olympic qualifiers, their usual training time would be quite short, and it is no exaggeration to say that this is a completely weakened version of the American team.

At the beginning, the Canadians also used their personal ability to frequently hit wonderful goals, which also attracted bursts of cheers from the fans, but as the game deepened, the Chinese team pulled back the momentum of the game, especially in the final quarter, the Canadian team's unformed defense could not stop Tang Shuai's breakthrough at all, and the main forces with huge physical consumption could not break the Chinese team's strict defense, and when the game reached the last five minutes, the game time had not yet arrived, but the winner had been decided.

99-86, the Chinese team finally defeated the opponent by 13 points, Tang Shuai became the team's scoring champion for the fifth time, and contributed 26 points and 6 assists in less than 30 minutes of the game, and the shooting rate of 11 of 15 shots was almost unmissed.

At the moment of the final whistle, the players of the Chinese team celebrated wildly, and their victory meant that they had successfully won the second place in the group, and then they would face the third place in Group B, and the probability of entering the semi-finals increased exponentially.

The Canadians, on the other hand, were much more sluggish, having lost the game as they finished fourth in their group due to their win-loss relationship with France, and will face confirmed Group B winners Spain in the quarter-finals.

After the game, Tang Shuai was still celebrating with his teammates in the locker room, and at this moment, someone knocked on the door of the locker room.

Zhao Jiwei was leaning on the position of the door, opened the door and looked out, his face suddenly burst out with excitement, and after a slightly lame English exchange, he followed and shouted: "Tang Shuai, someone is looking for you!" ”

Tang Shuai was being spoofed by Guo Allen and Zhai Xiaochuan at this moment, and after hearing it, he turned his head suspiciously, and then walked out.

When Tang Shuai went out, Guo Allen saw Zhao Jiwei mysterious, and couldn't help asking: "Commission for Discipline Inspection, who is looking for it?" ”

"Hey, you know." Zhao Jiwei didn't sell it either, and then said, "Nash." ”

"Nash?" Guo Allen's face was happy, he and Nash met at the Yao Ming Charity Competition, Nash praised him very much, it can be said that Nash can be regarded as one of his idols.

He was about to go out, but Zhao Jiwei saw him and grabbed him: "There is a UFO outside, you can go out later." ”

“UFO？” Guo Allen was stunned for a moment, and immediately knew who Zhao Jiwei was talking about, and he didn't care, he pulled open the door and put his head out to look out.

Tang Shuai had just finished greeting Nash and Carter, and noticed that Nash was looking behind him, and it turned out to be Allen Guo.

"Hey, Guo, it's been a long time." Nash took the initiative to say hello.

"Hey, Steve!" Guo Allen immediately burst out of the locker room after hearing it, and greeted Nash excitedly.

"You had a great performance tonight." Nash said with a smile.

Guo Allen blushed for a while, but unfortunately his English was really a little lame, and he turned his head to look at Tang Shuai with pleading eyes.

Tang Shuai smiled bitterly, and then temporarily acted as a translator.

In fact, it was a simple hello, and after saying hello to Carter, Allen Guo said goodbye to Nash in a funny way, and then went back to the locker room.

"Don, let's find a place to sit down and talk, if you have time." Nash said with a smile.

"I should be fine, but I may have to take a leave of absence from my manager, you know because of the Zika virus, we are usually not allowed to go out." Tang Shuai said cautiously.

"Of course." Nash said with a smile.

Tang Shuai wanted to go out to chat with Nash and Carter, but Gong Luming naturally would not refuse, but just reminded him to pay attention to his own safety, and then let him go.

Tang Shuai and his entourage went to a nearby high-end café, for Americans, drinking coffee is the same as drinking tea.

Fortunately, this high-end café has done a good job of safety measures, and they don't have to worry about Zika virus at all.

"Tang, I see that you have been wearing that pendant when you came out, you Chinese have this custom?" When he arrived at the café, Carter couldn't help but ask curiously.

"No, this is a gift from my girlfriend, don't underestimate this thing, he has a good mosquito repellent and sleep aid." Tang Shuai explained.

"Your girlfriend is so good to you, if it were me, I would have turned her into my wife a long time ago." Carter said with a smile.

"Haha, yes, I know this is a suggestion from someone who has come over." Tang Shuai said with a smile.

A few people were chatting, and the waiter had already brought their coffee.

"Don, you don't need me to invite you now, you're already a member of the Lakers." Nash took a sip of his coffee and said with a smile.

"That's what it is...... Destiny? Tang Shuai paused and said.

After saying that, both of them looked at each other and smiled.

Counting the beginning, Nash persuaded Tang Shuai to join the Lakers twice, and the second time he also said that it was good to join the Lakers, but before Tang Shuai could think about it, he had already become a member of the Lakers team in a blink of an eye, saying that it was fate, or it was really the best analogy.

"I remember when you promised me that you would come to me to guide the pass, but you still haven't fulfilled your promise." Nash said jokingly.

"Yes, it's my fault." Tang Shuai said with some embarrassment, he was too busy during the season, but after the end of the season, he was busy playing for the national team, so he forgot about it, but he quickly smiled and said, "But fortunately, I have time next season, don't say you don't have time." ”

"Haha, you're right, although I spend most of my time with my family now, the Lakers have always wanted me to be their head coach, and I can't bear my family, but you can still train you alone, and it's ......"

Nash said and looked at Carter.

"And?" Tang Shuai followed Nash's gaze and looked at Carter suspiciously.

"Don, your performance is wonderful, I was originally here to cheer for Steve and the Canadian team, but your performance really surprised me, and even reminded me of the AI I used to have." Carter blurted out.

"Thanks, Vince." Tang Shuai said.

"But......" Carter suddenly changed his words at this time, "compared to your breakthrough, your dunk is really bad, you can't dunk it when there is a little confrontation, especially the ball that Matthew (referring to Delavidova) fouled, you should hang him and dunk the ball in, then it is so exciting!" ”

"Vince ......" Tang Shuai smiled wryly, "Not everyone is your ......"

"Haha, I knew you'd say that, but dunking is also a skill, how about it, are you interested in learning it from me?" Carter said with an interested expression.

"What?" Tang Shuai was stunned, "You mean, you want to teach me to dunk?" ”
