The United States is the world's premier basketball power, and the NBA is the highest temple that most basketball players dream of. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

All of this is true, but which country is the world's second largest basketball power after the United States? The answer to this question is widely debated, but until the Gasol brothers came to prominence in the NBA with Spain's golden generation, and Spain won a silver medal at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, almost everyone believed that the westernmost country on the European continent was the second best country in the world in basketball.

And they are the first opponent of the Chinese men's basketball team in the group stage of the London Olympics!

Deng Huade is not too worried about the outside line of the Chinese team, although the backcourt may fall behind, but because of the presence of Ye Feng on the flank, Deng Huade is still very confident, and the key problem is the inside line. This time, there are only three insiders in the final list of the Chinese team - Yi Jianlian, Wang Zhizhi and Zhang Zhaoxu, whether the three of them can withstand the Gasol brothers plus Ibaka, Deng Huade is basically not sure at all, and he is thankful that he will not be blown up.

Even so, Deng Huade still put Yi Jianlian and Wang Zhizhi on the field, and he could block it for a while. Of course, he didn't think his team could beat Spain, and the pre-match training and tactical arrangements were just a matter of knowing their destiny.

But Ye Feng didn't think so, the starting outside players of the Chinese team in this game were him, Sun Yue and Wang Shipeng, mainly to play his characteristics as a point forward. Spain have active NBA players in almost every position, except for the No. 3 starter Lirumeria who plays for Real Madrid, and most importantly, Spain started with three guards and two centers in the first game, Ye Feng believes that the team still has a chance to cause problems for opponents.

The Olympic men's basketball game started on July 29, and the China vs Spain game was the fourth game of the men's basketball team and the second game of Group B. Almost every team was in the stands before the game, with the sole purpose of getting a glimpse of what their future opponents would look like.

The difference between the first two races is not huge, after all, it is the best from each continent who can make it to the Olympics. In the first game of Group A, Nigeria narrowly defeated Tunisia 60-56, and in the first game of Group B, Brazil narrowly defeated Australia 75-71. But Game 2 of Group A was undoubtedly a carnage, as the mighty American Dream Ten came on and got off to a flying start with a 98-71 win over Parker and Dio's France. The second game of Group B is China VS Spain.

Probably because of the nervousness, both sides did not shoot well in the first quarter, and Spain took the lead thanks to a late rebound from Pau Gasol, but the score was only 19-17. In the second quarter, Spain replaced Ibaka with Pau Gasol, and the defensive intensity of the interior line rose suddenly, and Deng Huade immediately sent Zhu Fangyu to partner with Wang Shipeng in the backcourt to provide the team with stronger three-point firepower.

However, the harassment of the Spanish outside combination Navarro and Rodriguez made the Guangdong duo look a little embarrassed, and Ye Feng had no choice but to take over the team's outside offense, and continuously used Yi Jianlian's cover to hit three-pointers, always biting the score. However, after the half-quarter, Spain suddenly made a force, Ibaka played 2+1, Sada hit a three-pointer, Da Gasol and Navarro also continued to use breakthroughs to cause damage, and the unprepared Chinese team fell behind by 8 points at halftime 45-53.

As soon as he came back in the second half, Wang Zhizhi hit a three-point shot, and under the instigation of Ye Feng, the offensive efficiency of the Chinese team was quite high, but the Spanish players felt hot, and they had to be in a state of chasing points for a long time. The Gasol brothers burst out to help Spain continue to increase points, and Gasol is worthy of being known as the No. 1 center in FIBA, whether it is a three-point shot, a breakthrough with the ball or a back-to-back single, he is at ease, showing a stronger dominance than in the NBA.

Halfway through the third quarter, the Chinese team once narrowed the difference to 5 points, thanks to Yi Jianlian and Ye Feng's two cores of one inside and one outside, and Yi Jianlian even had a scene of dunking on Gasol Jr.'s head after breaking through with the ball, which greatly boosted the morale of the Chinese team. The three-point shots of Wang Shipeng and Zhu Fangyu's two three-point shooters also gradually opened, and after Zhu Fangyu hit a bottom corner three-pointer, the Chinese team took a one-point lead at 63-62.

However, Spain's strength is really not covered, although the Gasol brothers were entangled by Yi Jianlian and Wang Zhizhi on the inside and had no chance to catch the ball and attack, but they also have Navarro, a top European scoring guard and nicknamed "Bomb", in their team. Although Navarro's short NBA career was mediocre, he is still one of the best scoring guards in Europe, and his small throw shot is even better than Parker, another top guard.

Seeing that China overtook the score, and Gasol was pinned down on the inside again, Navarro stood up in time to break through and throw points in a row, and even stole a pass from Ye Feng. You must know that Ye Feng is rarely stealed by opponents even in the NBA Finals, which shows how tough Navarro is. At the end of the third quarter, thanks to Navarro's outburst, Spain regained the lead, but only four points.

The final quarter of the game was undoubtedly the final battle, and the two sides fought against each other, and the scene was quite good. Whenever Spain wants to pull the score away, Ye Feng always uses a three-pointer to pull the difference back to an acceptable range, which makes the Spanish head coach helpless. But soon there was controversy on the field, Ibaka jumped up and did not pass the ball, and then scored after landing, but the referee did not blow his step, and the fans at the scene were also booed, and the mentality of the Chinese team was somewhat affected, and Spain seized the opportunity to attack continuously and successfully, and stretched the difference to 8 points in one fell swoop.

After several consecutive passes turned into iron, Ye Feng reluctantly chose to attack with the ball by himself, but his teammates with an unstable mentality had made the defense of the interior useless, and the Gasol brothers scored continuously under the basket, which was much more efficient than Ye Feng, and always helped Spain maintain a lead of more than 5 points.

In the end, the Chinese team still lost the first game of the Olympic group stage 90-97, and for everyone, the Chinese team lost was expected, but the point difference blinded their eyes - they only lost by 7 points. The domestic media even praised Yi Jianlian, who got 30 points and 13 rebounds, and Ye Feng, who had 25 points and 12 assists, but Ye Feng only felt ashamed, what is more unacceptable than being praised for losing?
