There is no doubt that this is an extremely bold decision, you must know that Guo Allen was one of the absolute heroes and cores of the Chinese team to win the championship at the Asian Championships, but now he has been put on the bench in the Olympic competition.

However, judging from the fact that Guo Allen is still talking and laughing with his teammates, he does not seem to resist this decision.

In fact, as usual, Allen Guo is a very straightforward person, and he can make any sacrifice for the victory of the team.

There is also good news for this game, Zhao Jiwei will also usher in his Olympic debut, although he was selected for the national team, but Gong Luming has not let him play for the purpose of protection, perhaps Gong Luming chose to let Guo Allen this substitute, and Zhao Jiwei's comeback also has a lot to do with it.

The starters of both sides appeared on the field, and under the watchful eyes of more than 30,000 people on the scene, the game between the two sides officially began.

Yi Jianlian pressed Baines to get the first offensive opportunity for the Chinese team.

Australia is good at physical confrontation and has a lot of small movements, which Gong Luming and Tang Shuai both know well, after Tang Shuai advanced to the front court with the ball, he did not let Zhou Qi pull outside the three-point line as before, but made a tactical gesture to Yi Jianlian and asked him to block and dismantle at the top of the arc.

Yi Jianlian was raised, but the moment the blocking and demolition happened, Australia showed a fierce style of play, and the blocked Dellavidova hit Yi Jianlian many times, Yi Jianlian was almost angry, but fortunately, Tang Shuai had already rushed into the inside line after the formation of the blocking.

Anderson and Ingles on the inside immediately stepped up to the defense.

Tang Shuai saw the opportunity and passed to Zhou Qi on the right wing in a second, Zhou Qi dribbled the ball and jumped up to dunk.

At this moment, Baines completely ignored the danger, and jumped up directly and dragged Zhou Qi down.

Zhou Qi's expression was hideous, and when he landed, he shook off Baines suddenly.

Baines's acting skills flew up, and he immediately raised his hands up to show that he was not a malicious foul.

Tang Shuai frowned, the Australian really has this style, and he doesn't have the heart to restrain at all.

The referee ended up giving a normal pull foul.

Zhou Qi flicked his arms while walking to the free throw line, and he could see that this deadlift was definitely not very comfortable.

Two free throws and one hit, which affected the feel somewhat after being deadlifted.

When Zhou Qi made free throws, Tang Shuai asked Zhai Xiaochuan and Zhao Haoyan to gather together and remind them to pay attention to protecting themselves.

The Australian team's offense, Mills passed to Baines in seconds after breaking through, Baines's close-range shot slipped out of the basket under Zhou Qi's interference, and the rebound was grabbed by Yi Jianlian.

Without Bogut, the Chinese team's twin towers are full of deterrence on the inside.

Tang Shuai re-held the ball and advanced to the front court, still exactly the same tactics as before, Tang Shuai entered the inside, but this time only Anderson helped defend him, he didn't hesitate after seeing it, and directly activated the AI exclusive corssover package, after a cross step, Anderson was already so shaken that he couldn't find the north, he followed with a low-handed layup to score the ball steadily.

The Australian team went back and played Mills.

Mills, as the Spurs' backup point guard, definitely has the strength, and at this time he broke into the interior and immediately attracted the bag of Zhai Xiaochuan and Yi Jianlian, who saw the opportunity and passed to David Anderson on the outside in a second.

Anderson, who previously played for the Rockets, was an outside player with a three-point shot and made a three-point shot straight after receiving the ball.

"Bang!"

Perhaps it was just before the opening hand was hot, and Anderson's near-empty three-pointer jumped out of the basket.

The rebound was snatched by Zhou Qi who jumped high and grabbed it.

Tang Shuai advanced with the ball, this time he beckoned Zhou Qi, followed the acceleration and broke into the inside, Baynes rushed up this time, Tang Shuai slowed down and then accelerated, and waited for Baines, followed by a turning board shot.

Baines is tall and big, and his speed is completely incomparable with Tang Shuai, so he was directly cleaned.

Tang Shuai scored a layup again!

5-0, completely different from the past encounters, the Chinese team occupied the initiative on the field at the beginning.

"Position, hold your place!" Lemanis shouted to the Australian players that as a "defensively winning" team, he clearly could not tolerate poor performance on the defensive end.

A strange look flashed in Dellavidova's eyes, the main reason for the Chinese team's lead is Tang Shuai, and Tang Shuai is his defender.

The Australian team's offense, Mills saw that his teammates were not strong, this time he directly chose to go alone, with Baines's blocking, he flew to the basket, and squeezed Zhou Qi with his back to shoot directly on the board.

However, he obviously underestimated the strength of the Chinese team's inner line, and after a battle with the French team, the enthusiasm of the players has undergone a qualitative change.

After the rebound bounced back, it fell back into Mills's hands, and Mills pouted his butt, pushed Yi Jianlian away, and chose to shoot again.

But the tragedy is that as soon as he got up, Zhou Qi's big risk also followed.

This time it was completely frontal, and he directly flew his shot out of the court.

The fans at the scene burst into cheers, and the Chinese team opened the game as a strong team.

Domestic fans who stayed up late to watch the game were even more excited and sleepy, let me ask before, when did the Chinese team have such a wonderful performance in the clash with the Australian team?

"It's so stupid now, can't we just do it?" In Tencent's live broadcast room, Ke Fan couldn't help but ridicule.

Australia's sideline ball, Ingles' mid-range shot jumped out of the basket under Zhai Xiaochuan's strict defense, and their first five shots all jumped out of the basket.

Zhai Xiaochuan turned around and grabbed the rebound, and then threw it into Tang Shuai's hand, Tang Shuai held the ball and advanced quickly, attracting the double bag in the middle, and passed to Zhao Haoyan on the right side in a second.

Because of Tang Shuai's offensive containment, he can be said to be completely empty at this time.

Zhao Haoyan didn't hesitate at all, he raised his hand and threw it, his self-confidence exploded.

"Huh!"

Three-point shots are accurately pocketed!

For a pitcher, what is needed is self-confidence, and Zhao Haoyan undoubtedly has this.

8 to 0!

The Chinese team completely beat the Australians in the opening game.

Lemanis on the sidelines finally couldn't bear it anymore and stretched out his hand to call a timeout, even when he took the professional team to play a warm-up match with the Chinese team before, he was not as embarrassed as in front of him.

On the bench of the Australian team, Lemanis mercilessly scolded the players of the Australian team.

At the end of the timeout, all the Australian players reached out and pressed their fists, apparently already in a ruthless manner.

After the pause, the Australians' offensive round could clearly feel that the off-ball confrontation between the two sides was increasing, and it didn't take long for people to turn on their backs.

Ingalls broke through and hit Zhai Xiaochuan with a dark elbow in the chest, and after knocking Zhai Xiaochuan away, he finally scored the first point of the game for Australia with a low-handed layup.

Zhai Xiaochuan was elbowed and almost didn't come up in one breath, so he turned around and went to find the referee theory.

The referee ignored him, and the main reason why the Australians were able to maintain this style of play and maintain a good record was that their small movements were very subtle.

For example, Ingles has been the absolute core of the Australian team in the past few Olympic Games, and he has played well in international competitions, but when it comes to the Jazz, in the NBA, which is more strict in punishment, his skills are completely unplayed, and he can only be reduced to a marginal person.

Zhai Xiaochuan didn't get a response from the referee, and his mood became very depressed.

Seeing this scene, Tang Shuai patted him on the shoulder, said a few words in his ear, and then pointed to the scoreboard, indicating that his team was still a lot ahead, and his emotions eased a little.

Tang Shuai's mentality at this time is quite good, the Australian team's style of play, the more you entangle with him, the more you will eventually bring yourself to his kind of rhythm, but if you don't entangle with him too much, but play steadily to pull the score away, no amount of small actions will work.

He advanced to the front court with the ball, signaled Zhou Qi to the outside to receive the ball, and ran to the right wing outside the three-point line to cut into the air.

The Australian team's confrontation tendency at this time is very strong, and in the process of Tang Shuai's empty cut, Dellavidova hit him at least three or four times, and the small movements in his hands are not missing at all.

If this was someone else, he would have been impatient to do it, but Tang Shuai ignored it, stretched out his hand and made a requested gesture, and waited for Zhou Qi to pass the ball high, and after he received the ball, he accelerated, and directly pressed Dellavidova to score a layup.

In terms of height, Tang Shuai is not taking advantage, but he is in an absolute advantage in strength, and it is really unrealistic for Dilavidova to take advantage of it in the move.

To put it another way, he already knew that Dilavidova couldn't carry himself, so he chose to ignore his defense, and the angry latter gritted his teeth but was helpless.

When retreating, Tang Shuai looked at Dilavidova with a playful expression: I just like the way you look at me but you can't help me.

After returning to half-time, Tang Shuai deliberately pulled Zhou Qi to tell him.

The Australian team's attack, Ingles wanted to recount, and after hitting Zhai Xiaochuan again, he jumped up and wanted to make a flying slam dunk.

But just as he jumped, a black shadow flew from the oblique side.

Zhou Qi's big hand fanned directly at the ball in Ingles' hand.

"Smack!"

"Bang!"

The two voices remembered one after another, Ingles pressed his hands heavily on the basket, but the ball in his hand had already been flown out of the court by Zhou Qifan.

Zhou Qi got another block.

The fans at the scene let out a burst of cheers at the moment of the cap, and this rookie from the Chinese team dedicated a feast of hot pot for the fans at this Olympic Games.

Ingalls looked shocked, he didn't seem to expect the ball to be blocked, compared to Zhou Qi's expression was indifferent, as if what he had just done was just a gesture.

Australia sent a sideline ball, Dellavidova received the ball and rushed straight to the basket, facing Zhou Qi's left hand to push secretly, and then flicked the ball up with his right hand, ready to respond positively.

In the game of basketball, the action of the first hand and then the ball is most likely to be whistled for fouls, but international games are not like the NBA's multi-angle camera, more rely on the referee's eyes, for a veteran like Dellavidova, he has long known that this angle is the referee's dead end.

The referee really didn't blow the whistle.

There was a hint of excitement on Dellavidova's face, and if this goal was scored, it would definitely be a morale boost for the Australian team.

But before he could laugh, he saw the fingertips of a hand cover the ball he was throwing, and the basketball changed its trajectory and smashed directly into his face.

He obviously underestimated Zhou Qi's defensive ability. (To be continued.) )
