5:30 British time, the match between China and Spain, but also the first game of the Olympic Games, officially opened in the London Olympic Basketball Stadium.
There were about 7,000 or 8,000 spectators, including hundreds of Chinese spectators.
After China's developed economy, more and more fans have the ability to watch abroad.
Some of these fans are marked with the Chinese flag on their faces, others hold the small flag in their hands, and others directly take the large flag, and several people pull it together.
Just like the fans that Tang Tian met in the Nike China tour that day, the enthusiasm of Chinese fans is among the best in the world.
And this is just the tip of the iceberg.
In China, countless fans are waiting in front of the TV, waiting for the men's basketball team to open the Olympic Games.
In a mountainous elementary school in Chengdu, a large satellite TV receiver has been installed with the help of a caring person.
Everyone squeezed into the classroom and looked at the little TV above the desk.
Everyone, including Lin Yi, was full of expectations.
In fact, it is not just such a place, because Tang Tian, the attention paid to this Olympic basketball game across the country is unprecedented.
For them, this is their dream game.
A broadcast area is set in the front row of the game venue. This time, the all-around commentator Yang Jian and the guest Zhang Weiping are responsible for explaining the men's basketball game.
The players on both sides have come to the arena to warm up, Zhang Weiping and Yang Jian have also begun to warm up the game commentary in advance.
"Director Zhang, one of the issues we are very concerned about is Tang Tian. He joined the national team half a month ago. How do you think he can help this Chinese men's basketball team?"
Yang Jian asked, his voice was very expressive, and the shout when Liu Xiang won the championship was an unforgettable moment for many fans.
"The help is definitely great. He can shoot three points. This is not a three point in the general sense. You see that he has made 50% three-pointers in the NBA Finals. What is the concept? This is The best three-pointer in the world.
Then there is defense. Are you Navarro great? Fernandez is amazing? Our Tang Tian can clearly arrange for you. "
When Zhang Weiping speaks, he always carries a unique style, which makes people unconsciously enter his context.
"So do you think we have a chance to win tonight?" Yang Jian then asked.
"Yes, there must be. Actually, don't look at their insiders. There are Big Gasol, Little Gasol, Ibaka, etc. We also have Yi Jianlian. International games are not NBA games. They were bad, then Tang Tianfang killed their outside line, and we had a chance. "
Zhang Weiping was optimistic and convinced.
"This is my sixth sense. I think these guys in the men's basketball team will definitely surprise us tonight."
Zhang Weiping added another sentence.
Yang Jian laughed, and it was always interesting to explain with Zhang Weiping.
When the two of them were talking about Xihuan, they had already entered the player introduction stage.
International games are not the same as the NBA. They have to introduce 12 people from each team.
When the Spanish team members were introduced, the cheering scene was overwhelming.
As the strongest team in Europe, Spain's popularity is very high, plus this time it is the local European battle, which is actually half of their home.
Most of the players from the Chinese team played on the scene, except the Chinese fans did not react.
"No. 31, Tang Tian!"
When Tang Tian was introduced, there was a large area of cheers for the first time.
After Stern promoted the NBA to the world, Tang Tian, a rookie who killed the Quartet in the finals, is still very well-known.
Tang Tian reached out to pat the fans, and then waved with the audience.
The Chinese fans on the sidelines were all crazy and yelling.
This time the Olympic Games are not local operations, but they have received less attention than the Beijing Olympics.
The biggest reason is naturally Tang Tian.
Since Yao Ming retired, this is the first player to give them unlimited vision for the future.
After the introduction of the players from both sides, the team list was also submitted to the technical platform, which marked the starting list of this game.
That list was also quickly passed by staff to the commentators in various countries.
Zhang Weiping and Yang Jian both looked at the list for a few seconds.
Chen Jianghua, Sun Yue, Tang Tian, Ding Jinhui, Yi Jianlian!
Wang Zhizheng, Zhu Fangyu, Wang Shipeng, Liu Wei, none of these 2008 core players appeared on the starting list!
"If it's not my mistake, this is a lineup that the men's basketball team has never used before in the warm-up match."
Yang Jian said shockedly after reading the starting list.
"It looks like Deng Huade is ready for this game."
Zhang Weiping said after he stunned for a moment.
In fact, let alone the two of them. The Chinese audiences waiting in front of the TV in China, after seeing the starting line-up on TV, are also aggressive.
This lineup does not even have a center!
Moreover, the few players they know well have not started, which is bold and risky.
The head coach of the Spanish team is Scarioro. He is the new head coach of Spain and only accepted the team in 2009.
When he saw the starting lineup of the Chinese team, his expression was quite surprised, and even looked like he was laughing.
Spain's strongest is the inside. Now the Chinese team's starting inside is Yi Jianlian, who plays in the fourth position, plus a short forward in the 2m?
Is this self-defeating?
Other than this, he really can't think of a reason for the Chinese team to send this lineup.
It is foreseeable that Big and Small Gasol will be on the inside tonight.
This will really be a boring game.
Originally standing on the sidelines, he turned and walked back to the bench.
Warm-up before the game ended, the starting players of both sides appeared one after another.
On the Spanish side, Gasol is the starting insider. The small forward is Fernandez and the defenders are Lirumeria and Jose Calderon.
Gasol and Yi Jianlian jumped in the midfield.
Yi Jianlian's height and wingspan are not as good as Gasol's, but he has better bounce and speed.
After the referee sounded the whistle, Yi Jianlian returned the ball to the half court, giving the Chinese team the opportunity to lead the attack.
Chen Jianghua dribbled to the frontcourt.
Ding Jinhui and Yi Jianlian successively provided Tang Tian with no ball cover.
But the effect does not look good.
The Spanish team was clearly prepared before the game, and the quality of their cover was not high.
Tang Tian was eventually followed by Big Gasol and had no chance of catching the ball.
Chen Jianghua hung the ball directly to the inside.
Tang Tian's running position was just a shot, and the end point of the Chinese men's basketball offense was Yi Jianlian.
Little Gasol settled down Yi Jianlian under the top of the plate, and Yi Jianlian finally chose to turn outwards and lean back.
Gasol's long wingspan was disturbing.
"boom!"
Yi Jianlian didn't make the shot.
Yi Jianlian focused on practicing three-pointers and defense during the season. His other abilities have not improved much compared to a year ago.
Scarioro couldn't help laughing when he saw it.
Yi Jianlian has no advantage in playing against Gasol.
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, but that this Chinese team simply can't look at it.
The Chinese team did not score in the first attack, Gasol turned and received a defensive rebound.
Calderon dribbled to the front court, directly signaled that Gasol was in a low post, and then gave the ball directly.
Spain's tactical thinking is very clear, that is, to play the team's inside advantage.
In particular, Ding Jinhui, this two-meter early inside line is the team's biggest breakthrough.
Da Gasol leaned on Ding Jinhui's back.
Ding Jinhui's sinking was like Hayes in the NBA.
The thing that Gasol hates most in the NBA is this kind of blackness, which is not royal at all.
He directly chose to turn around to hook the free throw line.
This is one of his important offensive methods in the NBA.
However, when he shot, a figure quickly came to help defend.
Yi Jianlian!
His speed was significantly faster after weight loss, and the defense came in time.
However, Big Gasol has the ability to respond to the NBA All-Star level, directly changing the hook into the air and throwing the ball to the basket with one hand.
If Yi Jianlian comes over, Gasol will surely be empty.
"Snapped!"
However, his ball hasn't passed yet. Yi Jianlian jumped up behind him and caught his pass!
Ding Jinhui!
Bulldog!
His strength is not much in the international arena, but his enthusiasm is definitely among the best!
And the team also had tactical exercises in this area before the game, the ball broke directly!
There was a cheer from the Chinese fans.
This ball is beautiful!
Ding Jinhui protected the ball after the ball was intercepted. Tang Tian has moved to him. He passed the ball in his favour.
The Spanish team slowly backed off at this time.
They have two heavy big men, and the ball is in Tang Tian's hands at this moment, the Chinese team can't play the fast break the first time.
But the next second they paid the price for their wrong judgment.
After Tang Tian took the ball and turned around, he saw Chen Jianghua and Sun Yue who had already made a fast break in the first time and directly recorded a backcourt throw.
Tang Tian had a passing ability value of 40 in the draft. In the rookie season of the Spurs, although he did not specifically practice this during personal training, the Spurs team played. In daily training, the pass was There is not much content.
It is the same as the original three-pointer, because the starting point is low, coupled with his coaching background, he has made rapid progress, and has exceeded the 60 NBA entry level attribute value. This is why he averaged more assists per game last season 1 reason.
Adding to the hard work of the offseason, plus the 15% passing stability bonus of fingertip art, he now has a total passing ability value of more than 70, reaching the upper mid-level of the NBA.
This long throw threw through the entire court, and more importantly, the Spanish team has not yet retreated to the backcourt.
After Sun Yue jumped to catch the ball, he rushed to the front to take off.
"boom!"
Slam dunk with both hands.
"That's it! Sun Yue! Play with him!"
Zhang Weiping shouted excitedly at the commentary.
Yang Jian was a little stunned at this time.
The speed and consciousness of this fast break is still the Chinese men's basketball team he knows?
But he quickly looked at Tang Tian.
Obviously, it was Tang Tian's pass that led the fast break.
The Chinese team's attack was beautiful, but Scarioro's expression did not change much at this time.
He didn't immediately realize what was wrong, but felt that the Chinese team had good luck on the ball.
Gasol came to the frontcourt and continued to play Ding Jinhui, this time he chose to turn to the bottom line.
However, Ding Jinhui posted very tightly, and he felt very uncomfortable when he shot.
"boom!"
The ball bounced up behind the rim.
Yi Jianlian and Gasol scrambled for the rebound.
Yi Jianlian jumped high and collected the rebound.
Fiba (International Basketball Federation) and the NBA are very different in the interference ball rules.
The NBA can only jump up and grab the rebound after the basketball leaves the imaginary cylinder of the hoop, otherwise it will be regarded as an interference ball.
But under the rules of fiba, as long as the basketball comes out of the box, players can jump to the first fight.
Theoretically, there are situations in which many goals go forward. The NBA rules are relatively more reasonable, but Fiba is the rule.
Under this rule, the focus of the fight is not on rebounding awareness, but more on card position and bounce.
Yi Jianlian's position card is good, and his bounce is much stronger than that of Gasol.
Yi Jianlian looked for Tang Tian after grabbing the rebound.
Tang Tian turned around again.
This time it was Chen Jianghua who received the ball. He was fast, and before Calderon chased it, the flying layup also scored.
4 to 0!
The Chinese team was caught off guard by a Spanish team at the opening!
At this time, the domestic fans were completely crazy. It felt that the Chinese team was hanging on Spain!
Cool!
Although the game has just begun, it is still difficult to restrain yourself!
"Retreat, watch out!"
Scarioro only realized that the Chinese team's fast break was a problem at this time, got up and shouted to Spain's outside players.
Calderon advanced to the frontcourt again, this time Gasol went low and reached for the ball.
Calderon gave the ball in, and Gasol Jr. forced Yi Jianlian with brute force.
After Yi Jianlian's weight loss, the confrontation weakened, and Gasol Junior was a heavy center. He couldn't stand it.
Little Gasol chiseled to the inside and turned directly into the wiper.
After the goal, Gasol yelled excitedly at the sideline.
Gasol also rushed over at this time and had a passionate bump with his brother.
There was cheering at the scene.
This ball finally let them vent their resentment after the opening.
However, just when they hit their chests, Yi Jianlian quickly served the ball after getting the ball, and the ball was in Tang Tian's hands.
The Chinese team pushed the fast break directly in place!
Gasol was too late to retreat, the Chinese team pushed to the front court 4 to 3 after a fast break.
Chen Jianghua gave the ball to Tang Tian, who received the ball one step away from the three-point line and shot it directly.
"Oh!"
Cast it!
7 to 2!
"Pretty! Pretty !!! Pretty !!!"
Zhang Weiping shouted three beautifully in the commentary, and spoke with trills.
Even at the 2008 Olympics, he never saw the Chinese team take such a large initiative in the opening.
This is not a matter of player ability or performance, but the Chinese team's lineup, this tactic worked.
positional warfare?
If it doesn't exist, the Chinese team put on this lineup, that is, to fight against the Spanish team and fight for a fast break!
What is positional battle?
And even if you scored, I still caught your two inside players' slow defensive speed, pushed the ball more quickly to halftime, and then played more and less in the frontcourt!
However, it is very important that Tang Tian ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Tang Tian has not shown much passing talent in the Spurs, but the long-handed pass in the national team really wet the fans. .
If Yao Ming had a defender who could pass the ball while he was playing, the Chinese team would really take off.
Scarioro saw that the momentum was not right, and replaced Gasol with Ibaka.
Ibaka's defensive speed is faster than that of Big Gasol, but he basically has no offensive ability when playing positional battles.
The Spanish team's tactical idea is to play inside advantage. Such an adjustment will reduce their efficiency in the offense and give the Chinese team more opportunities to fight back.
In the incredible eyes of all the audience, the Chinese team led the Spanish men's basketball team 14 points by 40 to 26 at halftime!
