Chapter 1391 Three Lions Legion
As the birthplace of modern football, British football is also among the top teams in the world.

Because there are three lions in the team logo of the national team, it is also called the "Three Lions".

But it seems that "British basketball" is rarely heard.

After all, in a place with the world's top football leagues like the Premier League, it is really difficult for basketball to have a market.

So the British basketball team, like the Mongolian Navy, is a dispensable embarrassing existence.

But now that the Olympic Games are unfolding at their doorstep, the British team finally assembled the strongest players in the entire "Great Britain" to form a joint basketball team to compete in the Olympic Games.

The last time the British team appeared in the Olympic Games was the last time London hosted the Olympic Games.

So, from this point, you can feel that the British team is indeed in a place like Europe where there are so many strong players, it is difficult to have a chance to enter the level of the Olympic Games.

Now that the "Three Lions" are at home again, of course they hope to give victory to the elders in their hometown.

However, in the previous four games, facing strong opponents one after another, the British team seemed to be as helpless as the Chinese team.

But the difference is that the Chinese team fortunately won the Russian team, at least one victory in hand, but the British team did not have such a "good" result.

They had a chance to defeat the Spanish team, but unfortunately, their lack of experience at the last moment made them lose an excellent opportunity and lost to the Spanish team.

There is no chance of winning after that, so after losing the last game, there is no chance of advancing to the group. This is indeed a pity for the host.

Now in the last game of the group stage, the British team is facing the Chinese team. They also want to win a victory and end the Olympics with a relatively perfect result.

When two strong teams meet, the brave wins. Now for the Chinese team and the British team, it should be "two weak teams meet and the brave wins".

After introducing so much about the British team, let me introduce the current lineup of the British team.

Just like the strange name of "British Basketball Team", many players on the team are very strange.

Even in the European arena, they are not the main players.

However, the British team also has NBA-level players. Luol Deng, nicknamed "British Jordan", is the leader and soul of this team.

After all, in the NBA, Luol Deng is also a quasi-All-Star player.

If it weren't for Luol Deng's outstanding performance in these games, the British team might have lost more and lost even worse.

In fact, in addition to Luol Deng, NBA players from the United Kingdom also have Luol Deng's former Bulls teammate Ben Gordon, but Ben Gordon also withdrew from the national team due to injuries.

If these two people can get together in the national team, I believe the British team will be stronger.

There are less than 48 hours before the start of the match between the two sides. The two teams are under the leadership of the head coach and are making final preparations.

The Chinese team is still conducting regular training in the morning in the previously scheduled training hall.

Xiao Ding's brows are still wrapped in thick white gauze. Looking at him in training clothes, he should be able to play in the next game.

It's just that I didn't see Sun Yue. The neck injury should have caused Sun Yue to end the Olympic Games early.

Considering Sun Yue's age, maybe the Olympic Games of his career has also ended.

The other players seem to be more energetic. After all, the last quarter of the match against Australia last night was mostly garbage time, so it is very important that some of the main players have not lost any physical fitness.

Sufficient physical fitness is the key to winning.

"As you know, the next game will be the last game of our Olympic group stage, and it will also determine whether it will be a game in this Olympic Games. If we win, our Olympic journey is not over yet. If we lose , we are about to go home ~, although we have now achieved the goal set before the Olympic Games, but the opportunity to qualify for the group is in front of us, I think we should cherish it~!!"

Before the training started, Lan Shengli gave a speech.

"And the next opponent, the British team, is the weakest opponent in our group. If we can show our blood and work hard~ even if they are the host, so what~?!"

Lan Shengli continued to speak confidently.

"Okay, the training begins~!! In the morning, everyone warms up for an hour, shoots, adjusts the physical condition, and then I arrange some tactics for the British team. Everyone should concentrate on tactical drills. Okay~, let's start~! !"

Lan Shengli continued to nod his head and talk.

The training of the Chinese team has begun.

On the other side, the British team's training also started at the same time.

"Tomorrow's game, I hope everyone can play it as a final~!!, as the host, if you fail to win a game, it is really too embarrassing, I don't want this to happen~!!! , and don’t allow such a thing to happen~!”

The head coach of the British team spoke in a very strong tone.

Luol Deng stood at the forefront of the players, looked at the head coach, but didn't say anything.

"Crack clap clap ~!!!"

"Your head coach is right~"

Suddenly, the chairman of the British Basketball Association, a man dressed like jazz walked into the training hall, clapping his hands and saying.

"It's a pity to lose the four games before, especially the narrow loss to the Spanish team, but that is the past, there is no need to be sad about it anymore, we have a way of redemption in front of us, that is to win The last opponent is the Chinese team~!!"

The chairman continued.

"With the frequent success of British athletes in other competitions, the current predicament of the basketball team is increasingly highlighted~ I hope everyone can work together to win the next game. In this case, even if you fail to enter the rematch , and it doesn’t matter too much, as long as we can win now, our Olympic Games will be considered a success~, okay~?!”

The chairman spoke almost eagerly.

"Don't worry, Chairman~, in the last match, the British team must win~!!!"

As the leader, Luol Deng immediately made such an exemplary speech.

That determined expression is also unforgettable.

"Hmm~!!, come on, Deng~!!, you are an excellent conductor, the greatest player in the history of British basketball, and the next game may be the most important battle of your career. It’s time for our country to prove it~!!”

The chairman pressed Luol Deng's shoulder, speaking with a respectful expression and tone.
