Chapter 1364 Watching the Fighting Nation (Part [-])
Although they lost the first game of the group stage, the Chinese team also gained confidence. To be able to fight a world-class team like Spain for three quarters, the Chinese team at least showed a good competitive state and quality of will.

The men's basketball group match is still going on.

The next game of the Chinese team will continue to play against a team from Europe, Russia, which is known as the "fighting nation".

And Russia's first game of the Olympic Games has not yet started.

Their first opponent in the group stage is the Brazilian team known as the "Samba Legion" in football.

The two sides can feel from the very close rankings of the FIBA ​​that this is destined to be a fierce competition~! !

While speaking, the second match day of the men's basketball group stage is about to begin. In the previous first match day, the teams that did not play will all appear today.

In order to closely examine the next opponent of the Chinese team, Lan Shengli also came to the game site, preparing to watch the group match between the Russian team and the Brazilian team.

After all, the Brazilian team is also the next opponent of the Chinese team, so it can be regarded as a spectator, examining two targets at the same time.

Speaking of the Russian team, let me introduce the situation of the Russian team.

Being able to break through the European qualifiers where there are many strong players, such a result has already explained everything.

In the Russian lineup, the biggest player is the all-around striker Andrei Kirilenko who once played for the Utah Jazz and now plays for the Brooklyn Nets.

Kirilenko's comprehensiveness is not only reflected in the offensive and defensive ends, but also in the data.

There are really not many players who can score 10 points, 12 rebounds, 5 steals and 5 blocks.

And Kirilenko is one.

As the former Jazz's defensive vanguard, he defended against Kobe alone and McGrady alone in the playoffs are also vivid.

Kirilenko, who can defend from No. [-] to No. [-], will lead the Russian team to play a strong style belonging to the "fighting nation".

In addition to Kirilenko, the Russian team also has several NBA-related players.

Big center Timofey Mozgov is one.

This big center with a cute appearance but a very aggressive style of play is also slowly gaining a foothold in the Nuggets.

Its ability to protect the frame and the protection of backcourt rebounds are all very well done.

At the same time, because of its generous body, the quality of the pick-and-roll is also very high.

In the backcourt of the Russian team, there is also an NBA-level player-Shved.

Just like his name Sheved, this 198 cm tall guard has very similar technical characteristics to "The Flash" Wade.

The breakthrough speed is very fast, and the lightning-fast disguise often makes defensive players unable to find North.

And it is rumored that an NBA team is willing to sign Sheved with a first-round pick.

As long as the latter is willing to come to the NBA, it is very possible to become a guard for a certain team.

Mozgov, Sheved and Kirilenko, this big frame consisting of a defender, a striker and an insider, is the core lineup of the Russian team.

Coupled with a group of practical role players, plus the training of the young coach from the United States-David Blatt.There is a real possibility that the Russian team will bring some surprises in this Olympics.

The "battle nation" is about to show their true fighting power.

After talking about the Russian team, let's talk about the Brazilian team.

Compared with the Russian team, the Brazilian team has too many old acquaintances.

"Brazilian Lightning" Barbosa, "Brazilian Best Actor" Varejao, and "Brazilian Beast" Nene, the three have also played in the NBA for many years, and have played with the Brazilian team for many years. They have rich experience in international competitions. Old fritters".

Apart from the above two people, there are no other players who are too conspicuous.

The young center Splitter, who played for the NBA Spurs, missed the Olympics because of injuries.

However, the Brazilian team has experienced some failures.

Most of them are in Brazil's own league, or a few play in the European league, so it adds some mystery to this Brazilian men's basketball team.

But I believe that the Russian team, their opponent, has already studied them thoroughly.

Then let's take a look at what kind of sparks will be sparked in the duel between the fierce "battle nation" and the famous "Samba Legion".

Big-name players like Kirilenko, Sheved, Mozgov, Barbosa, Varejao, and Nene all came to the starting lineup without accident, and the strongest lineups of both sides have already appeared in the starting stage .

"Although the Russian team is a European team, because their head coach Blatter is an American head coach, after watching the Russian team's Olympic qualifiers and European Championships before, I think their offensive and defensive ends are closer to the The U.S. team’s style of play~ emphasizes more on individual offense and transitions between offense and defense, his game is very fast and the rhythm is also very fast~”

Lan Shengli, who was sitting in the stands, began to analyze.

Accompanied by Lan Shengli, there are also assistant coaches and team leaders.

"In addition, the basic skills of the other players in the Russian team are very solid, so~, I think the Russian team has the characteristics of both European teams and American teams. It is really not easy to achieve such integration~"

"As for the Brazilian team, after watching their previous series of warm-up matches and the U.S. Championships, I think the upper limit and lower limit of this team are very high~"

Lan Shengli continued to analyze.

"If the outside shooters on Brazil's side shoot open, it will be very scary, and once the outside shots are inaccurate, it may be difficult to play. After all, the most important center in their formation is from the Spurs. It is a pity that Splitter could not come to London due to injury. Although Varejao is also very good and has a high IQ, but after all, the offensive method is single, which may cause big problems for the Brazilian team's inside offense~ "

Lan Shengli continued to analyze.

"Although Nene also came this time, after all, Nene is a short center and may not be very good in the interior~ However, considering that Nene and Mozgov are both from the Denver Nuggets, it may be because of the The mutual understanding of each other makes it difficult for both of them to perform well~”

Lan Shengli continued to speak.

The game has already started.

Varejao and Mozgov scrambled for the ball, neither of them was a center forward who could jump, but they fought fiercely.

You touch it, I click it, no one will let anyone else.

In the end, Varejao, who moved faster, helped Brazil get the first wave of possession.

Brazil point guard Huertas dribbled to the frontcourt.
