The invincible kryptonite of basketball

Small forwards: Tang Tian, ​​Kelan Baike, Zhou Peng, Zhai Xiaochuan

Power forward: Yi Jianlian

Center: Zhou Qi, Zou Yuchen, Wang Zhelin

This lineup has a lot of forwards, especially small forwards, which means that one big and four small forwards will be used in many games.

After confirming the list, the men's basketball team got on the plane to Brazil that day.

Yao Ming was also on the plane. As the chairman of the Basketball Association, he also served as the team leader this time.

From the composition of the team, it can be seen that in this Olympic Games, the Chinese men's basketball team really gave everything to fight for it!

Fans also have unprecedented expectations.

Because of Tang Tian, ​​this is the strongest team in the history of the Chinese men's basketball team.

The men's basketball team's best record in the previous Olympic Games was the quarterfinals, and it was No.8. This time they really look forward to a breakthrough!

Brazil has experienced economic turmoil in the past two years, and the economy, environment, and security are not good.

The most intuitive point is that many national teams that arrived early have sent out Olympic selfies one after another.

The beds that the athletes sleep in are all human-sized, and many of them can't sleep at all.

Especially for basketball players, they are the tallest on average on the Olympic team.

Yao Ming also knew this, and had already arranged a local hotel for the men's basketball team before departure, and all the expenses were paid out of his own pocket.

From this point, it can be seen that although Yao Ming cannot play, he still regards himself as a member of this team!

There is nothing wrong with this approach, but it also attracted a burst of ridicule from local Brazilian media and even foreign media.

The conditions are poor, because all the national teams are poor, but there are only two countries that move the entire team to live outside.

In addition to the Chinese team, the rest is the US team.

The American team is all stars worth tens of millions or even hundreds of millions. Their accommodation conditions are definitely different from those in other countries, or even other projects in the United States.

Basically, every year during the Olympic Games, they will live in a bakery outside.

It has also become a custom.

But now, the Chinese team and the US team are operating the same way, and they can't help but make them complain.

The U.S. team has that strength, but the Chinese team, except for Tang Tian, ​​is a group of unknown people, and the Chinese men's basketball team has had poor performance over the years.

There is no harm without comparison. While comparing the two teams, the fans really ridiculed.

People are stupid and have a lot of money, they really take themselves seriously, and they will become a spectacle of the Olympics... There are endless words like this.

It can be foreseen that if the Chinese men's basketball team fails to make a breakthrough in this year's Olympics, it will really become a big laughing stock.

However, the mentality of the men's basketball players is very stable, because Tang Tian is very stable.

Tang Tian is the kind of person who dares to tattoo the championship trophy on his arm before the start of the playoffs.

Now the foreign media's view made him even more excited.

Just like winning the championship at the beginning, the breakthrough of the men's basketball team in the Olympics is what he must do.

As long as it is done, these teasing words will be the best foil.

A week passed quickly. On August 8th, under the attention of the whole world, the opening ceremony of the 7 Olympic Games officially kicked off in Rio.

Tang Tian made his debut as the flag bearer of the Chinese team, which drew loud cheers from the scene.

His popularity is now global.

Tang Tian also waved his hand to signal to the fans, which drew even louder cheers in response.

The Rio Olympics have begun!

Chapter 865 Nash's request

The men's basketball game will start at 2:15 pm local time the next day.

The first opponent of the Chinese men's basketball team is the Brazilian team, and the time is at 7 o'clock in the evening.

The Brazil team is playing at home, and the game time as the host is also prime time.

The time difference between China and Brazil is 11 hours. Here at 7 pm, it is 6 am in China. Fans don't have to stay up late, they can watch it early.

Because of the opening game, this game has attracted the attention of fans of the two countries, and the attention in China is unprecedented.

Aside from the warm-up match fights between the two teams, four years ago Tang Tian led the Chinese men's basketball team to kill the Brazilian team in a life-and-death battle, which was enough for Brazilian fans to hate.

Of course, there was also Barbosa's cruel words to Tang Tianfang.

"I'll beat you guys in Rio."

This is what Barbosa said to Tang Tian when he shook hands after losing the game.

Now is the time for him to make good on his words.

Although the strength of the Brazilian team has declined now, it is not a weak team.

Both Nene and Varejao are still able to play, and this inside configuration has already surpassed most national teams.

On the Chinese side, Yi Jianlian can match up with the superior.

In addition to Barbosa on the outside, there are also Huertas and Neto who started playing in the NBA last season.

Even on the front line, there is also veteran Barcia.

These inside and outside players are all NBA-level players. Although the Brazilian team is old, it is by no means weak.

In fact, apart from the Asian and African teams, none of the underdogs can make it to the Olympics.

The game will start at night, and the Chinese team is actively preparing for the game.

The players adjust their state and mentality during training.

No matter how stable their mentality was before, young players will inevitably be nervous before the game.

Tang Tian is now sitting on the sidelines to rest.

Just then, he received a message.

And the person who sent this message made him a little unexpected.

nash.

The person who posted it made him unexpected, and the content of the post made him even more unexpected.

"Hit Brazil hard, especially Barbosa."

Barbosa had been teammates with Nash in the Suns for 6 years, and they were both rotation players. The relationship on and off the court should be good.

In particular, Nash's character is very approachable.

So this looks really weird.

But Tang Tian is a time traveler, he knows a lot about some gossip news.

He also knows a little about Nash and Barbosa.

Nash's current wife is not his original wife, his original wife, that is, his ex-wife named Alexander.

The two had two daughters and one son before their divorce, and the two daughters were loved because they attended the press conference with Nash.

But the problem was the son, who was born black!

Nash and Alexander are both white, and two white people cannot give birth to black people!

After Nash had a paternity test, he divorced Alexander Lightning.

It was later revealed that the father of the child was Barbosa, who had previously been exposed to have an affair with Alexandre.

The top of his head was green. This was probably the darkest experience in Nash's life.

No wonder Nash would send such a message.

"I will."

Tang Tian's answer was also very concise.

When Barbosa said such provocative words four years ago, he was ready to teach Brazil a lesson.

Now that Nash is looking for him privately, he'll make the lesson a little more memorable.

That night, the match between the Chinese team and the Brazilian team started in Hall 1 of the Carioca Stadium, and the arena, which can accommodate 6000 people, was full of seats.

On the one hand, it was because this was the host Brazil team, and on the other hand, it was Tang Tian.

Because of Tang Tian, ​​the Chinese team, who hadn't paid attention to it before, has become the most watched team in the local area besides the Brazilian team and the US team.

When warming up before the game, Tang Tian turned his head to look at the Brazilian team's half.

Coincidentally, Barbosa is also turning his head to look at the half of the Chinese team.

The two looked at each other.

Barbossa turned away quickly.

Four years ago, Tang Tian was just an ordinary role player in the NBA. He had the confidence to argue with Tang Tian.

But now that Tang Tian just won the championship, he is No. 1 in the serious league, and his confidence has long since disappeared.

But four years ago, he pretended to be forceful, and had to continue with tears in his eyes.

After the warm-up, the players of the two teams were introduced one after another.

Unlike the NBA, FIBA's games introduce a whole team, and they are also based on jersey numbers from small to large.

When Tang Tian was introduced on the field wearing the No. 13 jersey, the cheers were overwhelming, no less than that of the Brazil team playing at home.

The fans in China even climaxed in place. They knew about Tang Tian changing his jersey, and they also knew what this jersey meant to the Chinese national team!

After the player introduction, the starting players of the two teams appeared one after another.

For the Chinese team, Zhao Jiwei and Tang Tian are on the outside, Zhai Xiaochuan and Yi Jianlian are on the front line, and Zhou Qi is the center.

On the Brazilian side, Barbosa and Huertas are on the outside, Garcia and Nene are on the front line, and Varejao is the center.

Amidst the cheers of the home fans, Varejao beat Yi Jianlian by jumping and gave Brazil the chance to take the lead in attacking.

After Barbosa took the ball to the frontcourt, he handed the ball to Varejao to play Zhou Qi under the basket.

Zhou Qi was thin and thin, Varejao made two hard chisels, then turned around and put the ball into the basket.

In the attack of the Chinese team, Zhao Jiwei dribbled the ball to Tang Tian after halftime, and Tang Tian broke through with the ball.

The entire defensive line of the Brazilian team was retracted, and the four double-teamed Tang Tian.

Tang Tian gave the ball to Zhai Xiaochuan in the bottom corner, and Zhai Xiaochuan made a three-pointer.

"Dangdang!"

The shot was a bit off, and it went straight out of the frame.

Varejao caught Zhou Qi and received a defensive rebound.

The Brazilian team attacked the frontcourt again, and it was still Varejao's inside singles.

Yi Jianlian quickly assisted in the defense, and Varejao's reaction speed was very fast. When he turned around, he hit the ball to Nene.

Nene dribbled the ball in three steps, knocked Zhou Qi away and smashed the ball directly into the basket.

In the NBA, Varejao is a defensive player with basically no offensive ability, but in the international arena, he has everything in defense, scoring and passing, and he is an all-around insider.

4 to 0, the Brazilian team, as the host, played like a rainbow at the beginning.

The cheers of the fans at the scene erupted instantly.

Four years ago, the Chinese team was eliminated in the life-and-death battle. Not only the Brazilian players were depressed, but the fans were even more depressed.

Now at their home court, they can finally complete their revenge!

The Olympic Games are held every four years, which is much longer than the NBA season, and there are more emotions in their hearts!

In the attack of the Chinese team, Tang Tian broke through and continued to be double-teamed. This time he distributed the ball to Zhao Jiwei at the top of the arc.
