"Treat them like normal players, play as they do in training, don't think too much, understand?" Tang Tian raised his voice and shouted to the players.

The so-called ten minutes on the stage, ten years off the stage, the basketball game depends on the on-the-spot performance, but it also depends on the training effect before the game.

The players all nodded one after another, and this month's closed training gave them a great boost in confidence.

"Come on, Chinese team." Tang Tian raised his hand at the team members at this time, just as he used to do in Team Rocket.

The team members put their hands around Tang Tian one after another, and then mustered up all their strength and shouted: "Come on!" ”

This voice was very loud, and the players of the American team over there had just finished their warm-ups, and when they heard this shout, they turned their heads in confusion, and when they saw the way the Chinese team cheered, they all laughed and discussed.

It can be seen that playing against the Chinese team, their mood is quite relaxed.

This is also a normal reaction.

The U.S. men's basketball team has not performed well in the past ten years, only 6th in the "Dream Five" World Championships in 02, only one bronze medal in the "Dream Six Team" Olympics in 04, and the "Dream Seven Team" World Championships in 06 also stopped in the quarterfinals.

However, it is also necessary to divide the target, the US team has lost to Europe and the Americas in the past, and a fish belly like the Chinese team cannot enter their eyes at all.

In the past, the Chinese and American men's basketball teams have played each other four times in the Olympic Games, with the largest score difference of 68 points and the smallest score difference of 39 points, and it was in 1984.

In other words, the strength of the two teams is not in the same dimension at all.

"Good evening audience friends, welcome to watch the Olympic men's basketball event broadcast by CCTV for you, the next Olympic men's basketball group B game will be brought to you, the two sides are the Chinese team and the United States team, this is also the first appearance of the Chinese team in this Olympic Games, I am Xu Jicheng, and tonight's partner with me is Zhang Weiping Zhang Gui." In the middle of the first floor of the auditorium, CCTV has begun to broadcast the men's basketball team.

"Coach Zhang, we saw that the Chinese team had a lot of momentum before the game, do you think they are likely to win the game tonight?" Xu Jicheng continued.

"It's possible to win, after all, both sides have a chance to win the game, right, haha." Zhang Weiping said with a laugh.

"It's true, it's just that this opportunity is big and small, and from the perspective of basketball professionals, losing by 30 points is considered a win." Xu Jicheng is still a relatively rigorous commentator.

"Not to mention, the smallest score difference we have played in the past is 39 points, as long as we score 30 points, no matter how many points, it is a record." Zhang Weiping continued.

'Now that the players from both sides are on the pitch, let's see what the game looks like.'

While the two were talking, the starters of both sides had already appeared one after another.

On the side of the American team, the starting outside line is "Triple-Double King" Kidd and "Peter Pan" Kobe, the front line is "Little Emperor" James and "Little Melon" Anthony, and the center is "Warcraft" Howard.

On the Chinese team's side, Tang Tian also sent the strongest lineup, with Sun Yue and Wang Shipeng on the outside, Zhu Fangyu and Yi Jianlian on the front line, and Yao Ming in the center.

Amid the cheers of nearly 20,000 spectators, Yao Ming and Howard walked to the center of the court, and as the referee blew the whistle, the two jumped one after another.

Yao Ming turned the ball back to the Chinese team's half, and the Chinese team got the opportunity to attack first!

The scene burst into cheers.

Sun Yue held the ball and pushed forward.

Most of his attention is focused on opposing Kidd, who played a year in the NBA rotation and has done a great job of protecting the ball.

Kidd didn't take it easy to try a steal either.

Sun Yue successfully advanced the ball to the front court, and then handed the ball to Yao Ming near the free throw line.

The Chinese men's basketball team's offensive ability is not strong, but fortunately, the shooting ability is not bad, and it has been training in Kerr's way as early as May, so the tactical system that Tang Tian created for this team is actually the system he used when he coached the Rockets in his first year.

Yao Ming responded at the free-throw line, and other players looked for three-point opportunities on the outside.

When Yao Ming received the ball, Zhu Fangyu and Yi Jianlian had already pulled to the outside, or did off-ball blocking or running.

Despite being staggered in the Middle East, the victory was due to strong tactical execution, coupled with the fact that the U.S. team was not so focused on the court, Sun Yue successfully got an open three-point opportunity in the bottom corner.

Yao Ming shook his hand and gave the ball over.

Anthony flew to make up for it, but it was too late.

Sun Yue made a quick move.

The basketball crossed a high parabola in the air and fell straight towards the basket.

"Huh!"

Three points hollow into the net!

The first attack of the Chinese team scored!

The cheers at the scene were deafening, this goal was not only a goal, the fans never thought that the Chinese team would be able to play such a beautiful match, and it was when playing the American team!

"It's okay, it's okay." Bryant shouted on the court and handed the ball to James.

James sent the ball, Kidd dribbled to the front court, and then directly signaled to Anthony to drop low.

Anthony is a superstar in the NBA, and he is a big killer in the international arena, in fact, the American team does not need to play tactics, and in Coach K's tactical manual, the American team has two tactics on offense, star singles and blocking and pick-and-roll.

The one who defended Anthony was Yi Jianlian.

Yi Jianlian is a big forward, and Anthony is a small forward, but in terms of strength, the "little melon" is not false at all.

Back hits, turns, stops, leans back.

A series of actions were completed quite coherently, in one go, and the shooting posture was also picturesque, which attracted the exclamations of many fans at the scene.

Soon, though, the audience burst into exclamations.

Because of Yi Jianlian, it was actually in place!

When Anthony made a move, he felt Yi Jianlian's arm directly cover his shot!

This was completely unexpected by Anthony.

Although the status of the two in the NBA is very different, they have also played each other in the season, and Yi Jianlian Mu Ne's slow reaction can be seen at a glance, but now, how can it be!

With the ability to adjust in the air against the sky, Anthony still successfully dodged Yi Jianlian's block and threw the ball.

The strength of the basketball was just right, but because of interference, the angle was a little off, and it smashed directly on the front of the basket.

"Bang!"

The basketball pops out of the frame.

Yao Ming pressed Howard to grab the defensive rebound.

There was another burst of cheers.

“binggo！”

Tang Tian was also happy at this time.

Basketball IQ is something that can't be visualized, but Yi Jianlian didn't use his body to resist like before in defense just now, but waited until Anthony jumped, and then used excellent bounce and arm span to interfere.

This is the change in basketball IQ.
