At 5 p.m. on August 5, the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympic Games opened on time, Greece will always be the first country to enter, China will enter in the 40th place, and the countries behind Greece will enter in alphabetical order of the country.

Although the stadium in Brazil is far worse than the Bird's Nest, it is much larger than the opening ceremony venue in London, which is worthy of being the venue for holding football matches, which can accommodate more than 80,000 people, although, for various reasons, the venues in Rio did not meet the standards stipulated by the International Olympic Committee until three days ago, and this football stadium is also old, but it is renovated once, and it will be okay, but this also confirms from the side that the former BRIC countries have declined.

Speaking of which, apart from China, the other BRIC countries, Russia, India, and Brazil are not much better.

The person who raised the national flag of the Chinese team is still the captain of the basketball team, Yao Ming in 08, Yi Jianlian in 12 and this time.

On August 6, the draw results of the men's basketball game were released, and the Chinese team and the United States team were in Group A!

Domestic fans said they were going to vomit blood and die, why did they meet the United States every time they met in the Olympics? Fortunately, there are a total of five games, and you can basically enter the top eight after winning two games.

And then there was France......

This was followed by Serbia......

Now it's not just the fans who are going to vomit blood, Liu Ren and the rest of the national team feel that the whole person is not good, why is it good to have another Spain?

Let's just put all the top five in the world together!

Serbia is currently ranked fourth in the world, France is fifth, and the United States is first......

When the two names of Venezuela and Australia came out, Chinese fans breathed a sigh of relief, these two teams are one Australian boss, one is the first in South America, listening to the wind, but compared to the Chinese team in 2014, it is not much better, and now the Chinese team has one more Liu Ren, and the situation is completely different.

Venezuela...... If the Chinese team in the 2012 Olympic Games is the penultimate team, Venezuela is tied for the penultimate first, and no one can win, but the two teams in the Olympics were divided into two groups, and there was no chance to beat the weak team.

It was determined that the five opponents of the Chinese team are the United States, Serbia, and France, which are currently the top five teams in the world standings, as well as Australia and Venezuela, which are the bottom teams of the 12 countries participating in this competition like the Chinese team.

The Chinese team is not under much pressure, and they can enter the top eight if they can win two games.

However, just to be in the top eight, but not the goal of Giannakis and Liu Ren, if only as the seventh or eighth in the top eight, then the quarterfinals are basically to play Spain, Croatia, Lithuania, the world's giants and the former Yugoslavia super strong team, the most important thing is Spain, meeting them is basically equivalent to the top eight to play, so, in addition to Venezuela and Australia, the Chinese team must not only win Venezuela and Australia, but also have to gnaw a piece of meat on the three world's top five teams, at least three wins, in order to avoid the first place in Group B.

……

……

At 3 p.m. on August 7, the Chinese team played its first group game against Australia.

More than 20,000 seats of the audience are full, which is rare, except for the Beijing Olympics, other places hold the Olympic Games, most of the basketball games can sit half of the fans is good, there are too many Olympic events, so the audience is very scattered, even if it is football, tennis these games, the attendance rate is less than half.

And the Chinese team played...... It's full almost every time, because it's not bad for money to travel abroad...... More than half of the audience were Chinese fans, and there were many Lakers fans from Brazil and the United States, and there were also more Australian fans.

Because the Lakers are the favorite team of Hispanics, many local Brazilian basketball fans also like the Lakers very much, that is, they like Liu Ren, the Brazilian team is the host this year to have the right to participate in every sport, otherwise their basketball team will not be able to enter the Olympic Games, and they will send food to Spain, Lithuania, and Croatia, Brazilian basketball fans know that their national team will definitely not have a chance, so they all come together to support Liu Ren's Chinese team.

As for the Brazilian fans supporting the American team...... No, Brazilians don't have a good relationship with Americans, and Brazilians have always been friendly to China, the country that travels the most and spends the most money each year.

Although Australia is not a strong team, it is not particularly weak, they have several players who have played in the NBA and are playing in the NBA, the Jazz's Exum and the Warriors' Bogut are their core players, and the Cavaliers' Dellavidova is also an excellent substitute in the NBA, giving Irving a hand, but Dellavidova seems to have been poached by the Bucks not long ago to play as a substitute for Bledsoe, and the salary is actually 60 million for 4 years, which is almost catching up with Bledsoe's salary.

The starting lineup of the Chinese team is: Sun Yue, Liu Ren, Ding Yanyuhang, Li Muhao, Yi Jianlian.

Liu Ren was put in the position of scoring guard, in fact, the style of play has not changed, it is still the style of play of small forward, but the pitchers of the Chinese team are too cheating, before Liu Ren came back, the best pitcher was Yi Jianlian, after Wang Shipeng retired, there was no one in the pitcher position of the national team.

Australia's starting line-up is: Dellavidova, Exum, Joe Ingles, Anderson, Bogut.

There is a big difference between international competitions and professional leagues, and those little-known players are often able to put in impressive performances on the international stage, David Anderson did not fall behind in the confrontation with Yi Jianlian, and Brad Newley, a three-pointer on the Australian bench, also brought some surprise performances to the Chinese team.

But the overall strength of the Chinese team is significantly stronger than the other party, when Sun Yue, Liu Ren, Ji Zhe, Yi Jianlian, Zhou Qi's five-person lineup was replaced, the Chinese team began to exert force, Ji Zhe and Yi Jianlian's mobility is very good in the big forward, especially Ji Zhe, the mobility of playing small forwards is first-class, plus Liu Ren and Sun Yue, and there is no defense for three seconds on the inside, only need to squat in it to block the height advantage is incomparably huge, and Zhou Qi who does not need to go out of the three-second zone, the Chinese team played a suffocating defense and locked Australia to death.

On the offensive end, Liu Ren was granted unlimited fire rights by Giannakis in the middle of the second quarter when the score was scorching, Liu Ren continuously threw mid-range shots, and his three-point line took a big step, and the opponent couldn't react at all, and Liu Ren completely adjusted his shot.

Liu Ren's consecutive scores at critical moments widened the difference to 10 points, and the Chinese team took advantage of the victory to chase and pull the score away in the third quarter, and finally beat Australia 100-75.

The so-called NBA sprawl professional league is that most of the professional leagues with NBA rules as the standard, such as the CBA and leagues in Australia, Brazil, Argentina and other countries, are all league rules formulated with the NBA's more popular rules for fans.

And why are European leagues more suited to the Olympics and World Championships? Because their rules are FIBA rules.

The Chinese team and Australia were not able to adapt to the style of play in the international game at the beginning, there was no three-second zone in the international game, the interior was very congested, and the players with three-point ability played better.

However, the difference in strength between the two sides is obvious, the strength of the two teams is about the same, the Chinese team has one more superstar, and the basketball game is an individual heroism sport that can solve the game by itself, and the Chinese team easily won the victory after adapting.

25 points advantage over Australia! Let the Chinese team finally know how many pounds and taels they have.

……

On August 8th, playing France, the French team can rank fifth in the world, all thanks to the leadership of Parker, who was in good shape after winning the championship in the Spurs in 2014, but Parker is now old, Batum is injured again this year, and France is directly missing two of the strongest.

Domestic fans are afraid of France because their ranking is really scary, fifth in the world.

However, the Chinese team that found confidence in Australia did not have the slightest timidity in this game, and started a hand-to-hand fight with the French team that was good at physical confrontation.

In the end, after a bloody battle, the Chinese team defeated the French team 74-69 and won two consecutive victories in the Olympic Games!

This is the first time since the new century that the Chinese team has won two consecutive victories in an international competition!

……

On August 10, after playing France, the Chinese team played the third group game.

What is the biggest problem with international competitions? It's physical!

The game was too tight, one game a day, and there were only 12 allowed participants, so the advantage for the bigger players in Europe and the NBA was too great.

Serbia, they were about the same strength as France, but they played Venezuela yesterday, and the game was settled in the third quarter, and their physical fitness was much stronger than that of the Chinese team.

In the end, the Chinese team's two-game winning streak was ended, losing to Serbia 71-80, ranking first in the group from 2-0 and 6 points, to 2-1 or ranking second in the group with 6 points, and being left behind by the United States team with 3 wins and 0 losses.

……

On August 11th, I finally played the weak team again, and Venezuela ......

The Chinese team, which had just been pressed by Serbia and played the whole game, went berserk, and the Chinese team beat Venezuela 110-67!

The gap between the two teams is huge, and in terms of physical fitness, some of the Venezuelan team can even compare with Liu Ren for bounce and explosiveness, but their technique and most crucial ball quotient are very poor.

Basketball is not only about good physical fitness, but also about the same technique and ball quotient, just like other sports, not just good physical fitness, otherwise those super physical fitness men in North Africa and South Africa would have dominated all major sports for a long time.

……

The Chinese team won Venezuela by 43 points, setting the largest victory for the Chinese team in the World Series, perhaps such a score is very common for the United States team and Spain, the United States won more than 50 points against Venezuela, more than 40 points against Australia, and more than 40 points against Brazil, this kind of thing is too normal and simple for these two teams that have not missed the Olympic finals since 2008.

The Chinese team lost to the United States team by 31 points in the Beijing Olympics, which was only the smallest point difference between the two teams.

Originally, Chinese fans and those experts and commentators were still saying that the Chinese team has a high chance of appearing in the group, as long as they play Australia and Venezuela carefully, and play seriously without making mistakes, they can safely qualify as the fourth or even third place in the group, and it doesn't matter if they lose to France and Serbia, these two teams will definitely not be able to win the American team, and then the two teams will definitely win and lose each other, and the Chinese team is likely to pick up the omission and sit in the third position.

However, when the Chinese team finished the first four games of the group stage, won 3 wins and 1 loss, and ranked second in the group with 9 points, second only to the United States team with 12 points after winning all 4 games, people found that the Chinese team had a head start this year!

Especially Liu Ren, he heard that Giannakis was going to prepare for a rotational break, anyway, he had already secured the second place in the group, Serbia lost to Venezuela in an upset, and then lost to the United States and France, so he could only settle for fourth, the French team was defeated by the Chinese team head-on, and could only rank third, and the second place in the group of the Chinese team was already stable, so Giannakis was ready to take a turn to rest and not be hard steel with the American team.

When Liu Ren heard about this arrangement, he went to find Giannakis.

"Patty, let's do a big deal!"

"What for?"

"Kill Team America!"

“……”

"You see, we fought and we won, and we finished first in the group in a record! We won't suffer if we lose, let's do it! ”
