"When we believe we can beat our opponents, we can do it."
After the game, Tang Tian took a word from the Chinese team members.
Win the Brazilian team to complete the revenge, they completed the first step, but that is what they should do.
But winning Serbia now illustrates one thing: the Chinese men's basketball team with Tang Tian really has the strength to compete with the world's best teams!
In fact, after defeating the Serbian team, the morale of domestic fans has also risen unprecedentedly.
Just like dreams come into reality, for the first time, they feel that the Chinese men's basketball team has the hope to create better results than the top eight in the Olympics!
However, some fans poured cold water.
The Brazilian team's players are aging severely, and they have long lost their peak of bravery. The ability to enter the Olympic Games this year is borrowed from the host.
The Chinese team won the Brazilian team without much persuasion.
As for playing Serbia, occasionally ups and downs in a decisive game are there, and the NCAA's crazy March is typical.
And Serbia's last loss to Australia was somewhat misrepresented.
Two days later, the Chinese men's basketball team ushered in the third group match against Australia.
Ben Simmons did not choose to play for the country. The Australian leader is Bogut, and NBA players such as Dravidova, Aaron Baynes, Ingles, and Mills are also on the list.
Although the reputation is not as good as other first-ranked national teams, their overall strength is actually underestimated.
The group stage has now beaten Serbia and France in a row, which has demonstrated their hard power.
And this team especially advocates confrontation and small moves, which makes the opponent very headache.
After the match between the Chinese team and the Australian team started, the Chinese team soon encountered such problems.
In the strong playing style of Australian players, the weak characteristics of Chinese players are fully exposed.
Except for Tang Tian and Yi Jianlian, everyone else could not score.
In the end, despite Tang Tian scoring 40 points in the double-team and Yi Jianlian also had 15 points and 10 boards, the Chinese team lost 66 to 80.
More than a year after Yao Ming took office, Chinese basketball has made significant progress, but physical fitness and confrontation are things that take a long time to accumulate to produce results.
China lost to Australia, before those who poured cold water climaxed.
"Look, I just said that it was luck to win before. Basketball is a sport for five people, and Tang Tian alone is definitely not enough!"
"Winning didn't help much at the beginning. The Chinese team's opponent in the next game is the US team. After two consecutive defeats, the group is difficult to qualify!"
"The United States and France, these are the two opponents behind the Chinese team, both lost 2 wins and 3 losses, ranked fourth at most, playing first in the other group, or stop in the quarterfinals as they did four years ago!"
"Assigning such a group of deaths to losing to Australia, it's basically over!"
...
Losing to Australia, although not as exaggerated as these fans said on the hotline, but morale blows are inevitable, and frustration is inevitable.
After Tang Tian and Li Nan communicated, the Chinese team took a shower in the locker room, and then returned to the stadium to watch a later game between the US and France.
This game played much more fiercely than expected.
This American team is the Dream Twelve team, led by Durant and Anthony.
Bryant has retired, and James, Paul, and Howard did not return to the stars who helped the Dream Team return to the top in 2008.
This dream team's offense is relatively outward, and the defense is worse than the previous dream teams.
Cousins, the starting starter, is not known for his defense, and only Jordan is a defensive substitute.
After the two teams started playing, they fought against each other. The French team, under the leadership of Parker, has been deadlocked with the US team, and the difference has been within 5 points.
At the last minute, Durant stepped forward for the US team, a difficult mid-range shot and an emergency stop three-pointer to kill the game.
He scored a game-high 30 points, helping the US team win the French team 100-97, and won the Olympic Games three-game winning streak.
Losing to the Australian team frustrated the Chinese team, but after watching the American team's game, their confidence in the next game has been greatly improved.
The French team previously lost to the Australian team, and now they have lost only 3 points against the US team.
Although the basketball game is not A wins B, B wins C, A will definitely win C, but this situation is still very useful.
The Chinese team finished 2 wins and 1 loss in three games. Brazil and Serbia are both better offensive than defensive. Australia is better offensive than offensive.
For this American team that is also better offensive than defensive, the Chinese team has a certain chance.
So watching this game is the process of the Chinese team members from no confidence to see hope.
The game against the US team was two days later. Although there were many questions about the Chinese team because of the loss to Australia, the Chinese team's fighting spirit remained.
Tang Tian also poured a wave of chicken soup in a timely manner.
"History has always been created by people. We won the Brazilian team. For the first time in history, we won the Serbian team. For the first time in history, it is no exaggeration to say that this may be the weakest Olympic team in the past decade , So we have every opportunity to create this first time, believe in ourselves, and throw the ball in. "
Tang Tian's chicken soup is still very useful.
When people feel that there is a chance to do something, this kind of chicken soup is like someone pushing a hand behind it, and things start to follow.
After two days of training, the team members regained their morale and confidence.
At 7 pm local time, the match between the Chinese team and the US team opened in Hall 1 of the Carioca Arena.
The scene was full.
For the local fans, in addition to the host Brazil, the match between the United States and China is the most concerned.
Now the two teams meet and receive less attention than the host.
The game will begin soon, with the two teams entering the stadium to warm up in advance.
Tang Tian took two shots and sat on the sidelines to rest, then looked at the American team at halftime.
Durant, Anthony, Paul George, Cousins, Irving, Draymond Green, Lori, Jimmy Butler, Jordan Jr., DeRozan, Clay Thompson, and Harrison Barnes.
This dream twelve team includes Tang Tian's brothers Irving, Butler and Thompson, and those who do not deal with him, Durant, Green.
But these people have one thing in common. He is very familiar with technical and tactical characteristics to his personality.
In other words ~ www.novelhall.com ~ This also gives the Chinese team another chance to win.
The game is about to start, and both starters have appeared one after another.
On the American team, Owen and Butler on the perimeter, Durant and Anthony on the front, Jordan Jordan on the center.
The old K coach is an NCAA coach. Just like Duke he coached, he is very good at coaching such a team of star players.
In response to the characteristics of the Chinese team, he also adjusted the starting lineup.
The Chinese team also has a lineup adjustment, which is a big, small and small lineup.
Zhao Jiwei and Tang Tian are on the outside, Zhou Peng and Zhai Xiaochuan are on the front, and Yi Jianlian is the center.
Starters on both sides have appeared one after another, and the game between the Chinese team and the US team is about to start.
