Chapter 281: The group qualifies
The Russian men's basketball team lost frustratedly, and the Chinese team may be the only team in the world other than the United States team that is not afraid of their height advantage, because the 2.03-meter Tang Wenlong can play as a point guard.
Fortunately, Russia has defeated the host British team before, and after one win and one loss, the record is quite acceptable, and after the games in the past few days, the difference between the points of the strong and weak teams has gradually become obvious.
In Group B, Spain won both games and are in top of the table. The second is Brazil, which played one game and won, followed by China and Russia with one win and one loss, and the rest of England and Australia have not won a game, and some teams have not played two games because of the schedule.
After the two hardest bones were gnawed clean, the next schedule of the Chinese team became much better.
Naturally, the time entered August.
The sky is clear, and the golden sunlight shines through the streets of London through the white clouds, and there is no wet rain, which makes people feel comfortable.
Tang Wenlong took the time to secretly watch the national ball, table tennis.
He is not a table tennis fan, but he is proud of the national sport of table tennis, after all, in the international arena, as long as Chinese players play, there is basically nothing to do in other countries. Like the dream team of American basketball, the chance of capsizing in the gutter is almost zero.
ExCEL Arena is the table tennis hall of the London Olympic Games, close to the docklands, and is a famous exhibition and conference center.
Throughout the Games, the stadium will host 143 competitions. In addition to table tennis, there are also boxing, fencing, judo, taekwondo, and weightlifting, to name a few. Anyway, there are a wide variety of events, attracting fans of all kinds of games, and people come and go.
Tang Wenlong and Fang Chuxia walked into the table tennis game wearing sunglasses, and they were a little worried about whether they would be surrounded and asked for autographs.
As it turned out, he thought too much, his popularity in the UK was not high, and the sport of basketball was simply unpopular in the UK. For example, the Olympic stadium for them to compete this year, which the London Olympic Committee spent more than a year building, is the largest temporary stadium in the world, and it is said that after the Olympics, the stadium will be demolished and used for other places.
Tang Wenlong watched it with relish, and cheered for the men's national players on the court from time to time.
"It's so pretty, look at your excitement." Fang Chuxia muttered secretly.
Tang Wenlong heard it, and replied: "Of course it's good-looking, you see this German stupid hanging, he will cut the ball with one move, I think I can beat him in the end." ”
Tang Wenlong bragged about himself here, but fortunately, both sides were local citizens of London, England, and no one could understand what he said.
The national player on the court, Zhang Jike, who was only 24 years old, became more and more courageous, and continued to complete the serve and attack, and the German star Dimitern Ocharov on the opposite side was immediately sweated by Zhang Jike, crying bitterly, this young face in the World Series He is still the first time to fight, how can he be so powerful!
In the end, Zhang Jike defeated the German player 4-1 in the semifinals, and on the other side, Wang Hao also defeated the ********'s Zhuang Zhiyuan 4-1.
Before the final finals began, the Chinese team had already locked the gold and silver medals in table tennis men's singles in advance, and the same was true for the women's singles yesterday, the gold medal was won by Li Xiaoxia, and the silver medal was won by Ding Ning. This strong and terrifying ability to win the championship simply made other countries want to cry without tears.
Tang Wenlong was excited to see that in the end, Zhang Jike unexpectedly won the world championship. And Wang Hao is worthy of the title of "the second millennium", and when he reaches the final of a major competition, he will always lose inexplicably. And he himself won the third silver medal in the men's singles of table tennis at the Olympic Games, which is also an unprecedented super record.
Similarly, the great Tang Wenlong stood up when he heard the national anthem and applauded the two team mates who won medals on the podium.
Zhang Jike and Wang Hao naturally also saw Tang Wenlong, who is the standard-bearer of this delegation, and is now the most profitable and famous star in the Chinese sports world.
As soon as the leisure days passed, the Chinese team ushered in another game day.
The Chinese men's basketball team led by Tang Wenlong faced the Australian men's basketball team on this day, the Australian men's basketball team was the former enemy and a strong team in the international arena.
But this time is different, in April, the Australian national team's strong center, who is also the champion, NBA star Bogut has just undergone minimally invasive surgery on his left ankle, and is in the midst of an injury, unable to stand up, and simply cannot play for his country to participate in the London Olympics. The Chinese team has won Tang Wenlong, the star of the NBA stars, and the strength has increased significantly, and the two teams are no longer teams of the same level.
As for Australian-born NBA players like Dellavedova and Mills, although they are higher than the players of the Chinese team in terms of strength, they do not have the ability to change the game on their own.
In the end, the Chinese team won the game 85-65 without much effort. In the second quarter, the Chinese team scored 28 points, while Australia's firepower was broken, and only 11 points were scored.
Because it is a 6-in-4 group stage, after winning two games, the Chinese team has ensured that they will qualify.
Tang Wenlong is naturally not satisfied with just qualifying, he is ambitious to create a new chapter in the history of the men's basketball team, and he is bent on getting more victories.
After another day of rest, the men's basketball team faced Brazil.
Brazil has a strong interior line, Split, Vallejo, and Nene are all the top interior players in the NBA, supplemented by strong players such as Hurtas and Babos, and they are also the favorites for the semifinals before the start of this Olympic Games.
It's just that they lack wingers, especially wings who can defend.
Tang Wenlong grasped this point and didn't let go, and after the game started, he kept attacking Brazil, not breaking through much, relying on his height and arm span to soar three points on the outside, but he also scored several in a row.
This was a huge blow to the morale of the Brazilian team, but fortunately, Nene and Split recovered a lot of points for the Brazilian team with strong inside attacks, and neither Yi Jian Lian nor Wang Zhizhi could prevent these two NBA-level interior players. Especially Split, the Spurs' full-time blue-collar team has transformed into an international game, and he can shoot and shoot the gun, showing his dominance as if he has changed his name to Olajuwon.
The game has been deadlocked, and the Chinese team has always led in terms of points. Until the last minute, Tang Wenlong hit a crucial three-pointer to establish a five-point lead for China, and he also scored his first 40 points in the Olympic arena. broke the dusty record of 39 points scored by Chinese men's basketball leader Yao Ming at the 04 Athens Olympics.
At the critical moment, no one in the Brazilian team stepped up to score, and the last two waves of attacks were missed, and finally lost to China. (To be continued.) )
