At 5:30 a.m. UK time, the match between China and Spain, which was also the first match of the Olympic Games, officially kicked off at the London Olympic Basketball Stadium.

There were about seven or eight thousand spectators, including several hundred Chinese spectators.

After China's economy developed, more and more fans can afford to go abroad to watch football.

Some of these fans have Chinese flags tattooed on their faces, some hold small national flags in their hands, and some people directly take the big national flag, and several people pull it up together.

Just like the fans Tang Tian met during Nike's trip to China that day, the enthusiasm of Chinese fans is one of the best in the world.

And that's just the tip of the iceberg.

At home, countless fans waited in front of the TV, waiting for the opening game of the men's basketball team at the Olympic Games.

In a mountainous primary school in Chengdu, a large satellite TV receiver has been installed with the help of caring people.

Everyone crowded into the classroom and looked at the little TV above the desk.

Including Lin Yi, everyone's eyes were full of expectation.

In fact, it is not only such a place, because of Tang Tian, the attention to this Olympic basketball game from all over the country is unprecedented.

For them, it's the race they've always dreamed of.

There is a broadcast area in the front row of the game venue, and this time the all-round commentator Yang Jian and guest Zhang Weiping are responsible for commenting on the men's basketball game.

The players on both sides have come to the stadium to warm up, and Zhang Weiping and Yang Jian have also begun to warm up in advance for the game commentary.

"Coach Zhang, a question that we are all very concerned about is Tang Tian, he joined the national team half a month ago, what kind of help do you think he can bring to the Chinese men's basketball team?"

Yang Jian asked, his voice was very rendering, and the shout when commenting on Liu Xiang's victory was an unforgettable moment for many fans.

"It's definitely a big help, he can shoot threes, it's not a three-point in the ordinary sense, you see he's shot over 50% from three-point range in the NBA Finals, that's a big idea? This is the best three-point shot in the world.

And then there's defense, you're Navarro very good? Fernandez is powerful? We can arrange it for you clearly. ”

Zhang Weiping always speaks with a unique style, which makes people unconsciously enter his context.

"Do you think we have a chance to win tonight?" Yang Jian then asked.

"Yes, there must be, in fact, don't look at their inner line has Big Gasol, Little Gasol, Ibaka or something, we also have Yi Jianlian, the international game is not an NBA game, the UAE is not necessarily worse than them in the international arena, and then Tang Tian killed their outside line, we have a chance."

Zhang Weiping's optimism is credible.

"It's my sixth sense and I think these lads from the men's basketball team will definitely surprise us tonight."

Zhang Weiping added another sentence after speaking.

Yang Jian laughed, and it was always interesting to partner with Zhang Weiping to explain.

When the two of them were chatting in the commentary seat, the scene had already entered the player introduction session.

International games are different from the NBA, and they have to introduce all 12 people on each team.

When the Spanish players were introduced, the cheers from the audience were overwhelming.

As the strongest team in Europe, Spain's popularity is very high, and this time it is a European home game, which is actually half of their home stadium.

Most of the time the players on the Chinese side played, there was no reaction except for the Chinese fans.

"No. 31, Tang Tian!"

When Tang Tian was introduced, there was a large area of cheers on the scene for the first time.

After Stern promoted the NBA to the world, Tang Tian, a rookie who killed all sides in the finals, is still quite well-known.

Tang Tian stretched out his hand to pat the fans, and then waved to the audience.

The Chinese fans on the sidelines were all shouting like crazy.

This time the Olympics are not a home-grown battle, but they have received no less attention than the Beijing Olympics.

The biggest reason for this is naturally Tang Tian.

Since Yao Ming retired, this is the first player who has given them infinite hopes for the future.

After the players from both sides were introduced, the team roster was also submitted to the technical desk, which showed the starting list for the game.

The list was quickly passed on by the staff to the commentators in the various countries.

Zhang Weiping and Yang Jian were both stunned for a few seconds when they saw this list.

Chen Jianghua, Sun Yue, Tang Tian, Ding Jinhui, Yi Jianlian!

Wang Zhizhi, Zhu Fangyu, Wang Shipeng, Liu Wei, these core players in 08, none appeared in the starting list!

"If I'm not mistaken, this is a lineup that the men's basketball team has never used in previous warm-up games."

After Yang Jian read the starting list, he said with shock.

"It seems that Deng Huade is prepared for this game."

Zhang Weiping was stunned for a moment and then spoke.

In fact, not to mention the two of them, the Chinese audience waiting in front of the TV in China was also confused after seeing the starting lineup played on TV.

This lineup doesn't even have a center!

And the players they are familiar with are all not starting, which is so bold and risky.

The head coach of the Spanish team is Scariolo, who is the new head coach of Spain and only accepted the team in 09.

When he saw the starting lineup of the Chinese team, his expression was quite surprised, and he even looked like he was holding back a smile.

Spain's strongest is the inside line, and now the starting inside line of the Chinese team, Yi Jianlian, who is the main No. 4 position, plus a short striker in his early 2 meters?

Is this self-defeating?

Apart from this, he really can't think of a reason for the Chinese team to send this lineup.

It is foreseeable that Gasol and Pau will be on the inside tonight.

It's going to be a boring game.

He was still used to standing on the sidelines, but he had turned around and walked back to the bench and sat down.

The pre-match warm-up was over, and the starters from both sides appeared one after another.

On the Spanish side, Gasol and Pau are the starting inside, the small forward is Fernandez, and the defenders are Lirumeria and Jose Calderón.

Gasol Jr. and Yi Jianlian's jump ball in the midfield.

Yi Jianlian's height and arm span are not as good as Gasol Jr., but his bounce and speed are better.

After the referee blew the whistle, Yi Jianlian turned the ball back to the half, giving the Chinese team the opportunity to attack first.

Chen Jianghua dribbles to the front court.

Ding Jinhui and Yi Jianlian successively covered Tang Tian without the ball.

But none of the results look good.

The Spanish team was clearly prepared before the game, and the quality of coverage for both men was not high.

Tang Tian was finally followed by Pau Gasol and did not have a chance to catch the ball.

Chen Jianghua hoisted the ball directly to the inside line.

Tang Tian's running position was just a false shot, and the offensive endpoint of the Chinese men's basketball team in this round was Yi Jianlian.

Gasol Jr. sank to the top of the lower plate and Yi Jianlian, and Yi Jianlian finally chose to turn around and lean back.

Gasol Jr. has a long arm span that gives interference.

"Bang!"

Yi Jianlian's shot was not able to be shot.

Yi Jianlian has focused on three-point shooting and defense during the season, and his other abilities have not improved much from a year ago.

Scarioro finally couldn't help but laugh when he saw this.

Yi Jianlian has no advantage at all against Gasol Jr.

With the Chinese team playing so hard, can you score 60 points in a game?

It's not that he looks down on this Chinese team, it's that this Chinese team can't watch it at all.

The Chinese team's first attack missed, and Gasol Jr. turned to collect the defensive rebound.

Calderon dribbled to the frontcourt, signaled to Pau Gasol to drop low, and then went straight in.

The Spanish team's tactical thinking is very clear, which is to play the team's inside advantage.

Especially Ding Jinhui, the inside line of more than 2 meters is the team's biggest breakthrough.

Big Gasol leaned against Ding Jinhui, he chiseled hard, but he didn't move!

Ding Jinhui's lower plate is like the NBA's Hayes.

What Gasol hates most in the NBA is this kind of black and rough, and he doesn't have a royal demeanor at all.

He opted straight for a spin hook to the free throw line.

This is one of the important offensive means for him to gain a foothold in the NBA.

But just as he made a move, a figure quickly came to help.

Yi!

After losing weight, he was significantly faster, which was very timely.

However, Pau Gasol has the ability to respond at the NBA All-Star level, turning hooks into throws directly in the air, and stuffing the ball under the basket with one hand.

If Yi Jianlian came over, Gasol Jr. would definitely be empty.

"Smack!"

However, before he could pass the ball, a figure behind Yi Jianlian jumped up violently and grabbed his pass directly!

Ding Jinhui!

Pit Bull!

His quality is not very good on the international stage, but his motivation is definitely at the top!

And the team also had tactical drills in this area before the game, and the ball was directly broken!

A burst of cheers from Chinese fans rang out at the scene.

This ball is beautifully defended!

Ding Jinhui protected the ball after breaking the ball, Tang Tian had already moved to his side, and he handed the ball over.

The Spanish team slowly retreated at this time.

They have two heavy big men, and at this time, the ball is in Tang Tian's hands, and it is impossible for the Chinese team to play fast attack at the first time.

But in the next second, they paid the price for their misjudgment.

After Tang Tian took the ball and turned around, he saw Chen Jianghua and Sun Yue, who had already played fast for the first time, and directly threw a long throw in the backcourt.

Tang Tian's passing ability value in the draft was 40, and in the Spurs' rookie season, although he did not specialize in this area during personal training, the Spurs' team playing style and daily training did not have a lot of content on passing.

Just like the original three-point catch, because of the low starting point, coupled with the fact that he is a coach, he has improved rapidly, and has exceeded the NBA entry-level attribute value of 60, which is why he averaged more than 1 assist per game last season.

Combined with the hard work of the offseason, and the 15% pass stability bonus of Fingertip Art, he now has a passing ability of more than 70, reaching the NBA mid-range level.

This long throw was all over the field, and more importantly, the Spanish team did not retreat to the back at all.

After Sun Yue jumped up to catch the ball, he rushed to the front court and took off.

"Bang!"

A two-handed slam dunk.

"That's it! Sun Yue! Play with him! ”

Zhang Weiping also shouted excitedly in the commentary seat.

Yang Jian was a little stunned at this time.

The speed and awareness of this fast attack, is it still the Chinese men's basketball team he knows?

However, he quickly turned his gaze to Tang Tian.

Obviously, it was Tang Tian's pass that guided this fast attack.

The Chinese team's attack was beautiful, but Scarioro's expression did not change much at this time.

He didn't immediately realize that something was wrong, but felt that the Chinese team was lucky with this ball.

Da Gasol arrived in the front court and continued to ask for the ball to hit Ding Jinhui, and this time he chose to turn to the bottom line.

However, Ding Jinhui was very tight, and he felt very uncomfortable when he shot.

"Bang!"

The ball bounced off the back edge of the basket.

Under the basket, Yi Jianlian and Gasol Jr. competed for rebounds.

Yi Jianlian jumped high to collect the rebound.

There is a big difference between FIBA (FIBA) and the NBA when it comes to jamming the ball.

The NBA can only jump up to grab a rebound after the basketball leaves the imaginary cylinder of the basket, otherwise it is considered interference.

But under FIBA rules, as long as the basketball smashes the frame, the players can jump up and fight for it at the first time.

Theoretically, many balls will go out of the box, and the rules of the NBA are relatively reasonable, but FIBA is the rule.

Under this rule, the focus of the fight is not on rebounding awareness, but more on card positioning and bounce.

Yi Jianlian's position card is good, and the bounce is much stronger than that of Gasol Jr.

Yi Jianlian grabbed the rebound and then looked for Tang Tian.

Tang Tian turned around and threw another long throw.

This time it was Chen Jianghua who caught the ball, and he was so fast that he scored a flying layup before Calderon could catch up.

4 to 0!

The Chinese team played a Spanish team in the opening game, and the team was caught off guard!

At this time, the domestic fans have gone completely crazy, and it feels like the Chinese team is beating Spain!

Refreshing!

Although the competition has just begun, it is still hard to help but feel cool!

"Retreat, pay attention to retreat!"

Scarioro only realized that the Chinese team's fast attack was a problem at this time, and stood up and shouted at the Spanish outside players.

Calderon pushed forward again, and this time Gasol Jr. went low and reached for the ball.

Calderon put the ball in, and Gasol Jr. used brute force to push Yi Jianlian.

Yi Jianlian has weakened the confrontation after losing weight, and Gasol Jr. is a heavy center, he is a little unbearable.

Gasol Jr. chiseled into the inside line and turned directly into the eraser.

After the ball was scored, Gasol Jr. roared excitedly at the sidelines.

Big Gasol also rushed over at this time and had a passionate chest bump with his brother.

The scene burst into cheers.

This goal finally allowed them to vent their grievances after the opening.

However, just when they hit their chests, Yi Jianlian took the ball and served quickly in the backcourt, and the ball went to Tang Tian's hand, and Tang Tian made a long pass to Chen Jianghua.

The Chinese team directly pushes the fast attack on the spot!

Gasol didn't have time to retreat, and the Chinese team's fast attack was pushed to the front court after 4 to 3.

Chen Jianghua gave the ball to Tang Tian, and Tang Tian received the ball one step away from the three-point line and threw it directly.

"Huh!"

Vote for it!

7 to 2!

"Beautiful! Pretty!! Pretty!!! ”

Zhang Weiping shouted 3 beautiful times in a row in the commentary seat, and he spoke with a trill.

Even in the 08 Olympic Games, he never saw the Chinese team occupy such a big initiative in the opening.

It's not a question of the player's ability or how well they play, it's the lineup of the Chinese team, and this tactic has worked.

Positional warfare?

does not exist, the Chinese team put this lineup on the lineup, which is to fight defense and fast attack with the Spanish team!

What is positional warfare?

And even if you score, I will take advantage of your two slow interior defense speeds, advance the ball more quickly to the half, and then play more and less in the frontcourt!

But there is also a very important point is Tang Tian.

Tang Tian didn't show much passing talent in the Spurs, but his long pass in the national team really made the fans wet.

If Yao Ming still played with a defender who could pass the ball like this, then the Chinese team would really take off.

Scarioro saw that the momentum was not right and replaced Pau Gasol with Sergio Ibaka.

Ibaka is faster than Gasol in defense, but he has little offensive ability when playing positional battles.

The Spanish team's tactical idea is to play the inside advantage of the position, but this adjustment has caused their interior offensive efficiency to decline, giving the Chinese team more opportunities to counterattack.

In the disbelief of all the audience, at halftime, the Chinese team led the Spanish men's basketball team by 14 points 40-26!
