Chapter 1387 The Strongest Chinese Team VS The Strongest American Team
Doncic felt that this sentence seemed familiar, as if he had heard something from his teammates in the NBA.
But right now his thoughts were in a mess, and he couldn't remember for a while.
After thanking Tang Tian again, he also turned and walked towards the player tunnel.
Although he lost, he had to be with his teammates in failure or success.
Looking at the back of Dongcic leaving, Tang Tian finally looked up at the scoreboard.
Next, is the final final.
There is a high probability that they will still play against the US team.
It's just that this year will only be more difficult than last year.
After the addition of Lin Yi and Zhou Qi, the strength of the Chinese team has increased, and it is a stronger men's basketball team than last year.
But the US team is the same, even stronger.
Not only did James and Davis, who didn't come last year, come, but the US team's bench has also become stronger.
Both Jimmy Butler and Irving, who didn't come last year, came, and in order to strengthen the inside, the US men's basketball team even planned to come.
Before entering the NBA, Towns represented the Dominican Republic in the London Olympics in 2012.
But now he has been planned to the US men's basketball team.
From this, we can see how much the US team wants to win this time.
In the other group of the semi-finals that night, the game between the United States and Serbia started in the arena.
The Chinese men's basketball team also appeared on the sidelines to watch the game.
The U.S. team attached great importance to this game and sent the strongest lineup at the beginning, with Curry and Durant on the outside, Leonard and James on the striker, and Davis at the center.
However, the Serbian team was in a brave start and frequently hit the inside of the US team. Davis seemed a little helpless inside.
Obviously, Popovich underestimated the inside of the Serbian team.
Especially Jokic, whose fat body is a bit unstoppable in the fiba game.
Perhaps Popovich has been in the United States for a long time, and he has almost forgotten that he is a Yugoslav.
But when he reacted, he replaced Towns on the field and directly used the inside line of Towns and Davis.
This time, the inside strength of the US team instantly increased, and Jokic's performance on the inside was very limited, so he could only play further and further outside.
But his outside shooting has been inconsistent.
This is also the limitation of big players. Although they have developed three-point shooting skills in the background of the small ball era, they rarely reach the point of killing people.
Not every post player has the shooting talent of Bonner and Okur.
Serbia became more and more passive, and the point difference at the end of the third quarter has been opened by the US team to more than 20 points.
However, the U.S. team also had rotation problems later in the game. They only had three serious insiders, and there were some physical problems.
This may be the only weakness of this American men's basketball team.
However, the strength of the outside line and the front line allowed the US team to finally win the game 100-80 and successfully approached the Olympic finals.
After the Rio Olympics and the World Cup in China, the two teams of China and the United States will meet in the finals of the World Series for the third time.
Although it has experienced some twists and turns, the final result is still as the fans expected, and the Sino-US war is about to start again!
Moreover, both teams are the strongest, such a matchup is also particularly eye-catching.
After the match was confirmed, fans of the two countries began to shout on their respective social media.
"Tang Tian's state, coupled with Lin Yi, I think the Chinese team can still win this year!"
"It must be able to win! Durant, James, Leonard, Curry, which one is not my Tang's defeat?!"
"Last year we were the weakest at position 5, but this year we have Lin Yi and Zhou Qi, and our inside line is worthy of Team USA. We will definitely win!"
"Come on, beat the so-called strongest American team, and tell them that the loss a year ago was not because they didn't come together, but because they really couldn't beat them!"
"The Chinese team will win!"
...
"We have no excuses anymore. If we can't win this year, maybe the NBA really needs a reform!"
"Last year, the Chinese team's victory had something to do with being the host country and the magical three-point rain at the end, but this year they don't have that kind of luck anymore!"
"Our inside line last year was too bad, but this year we have Towns and Davis, and the Chinese team only have rookies Lin Yi and Zhou Qi, we will beat them!"
"I hope that this time the national team can start with a bang, and don't give the Chinese team any hope!"
"We have to win. This is the last chance for the Dream Team. They will definitely do it!"
"America must win!"
...
Because it is the two strongest teams, and because it is the Olympics, the emotions of the fans of the two countries are obviously much higher than last year's World Cup.
With the battle imminent, Li Chunjiang arranged a training session the morning before the match.
He felt that pressure from the performance of his players.
Lin Yi had always been a chatterbox before, but it was rare that he didn't talk much in the training class, and he was all training hard.
Including Abdul Saramu and Fang Shuo, who had always been talkative before, also immersed themselves in practicing.
People only use actions to cover themselves when they are nervous, which shows that facing the strongest American team, every player is under a lot of pressure.
Li Chunjiang saw it. After the training, he called the team together and announced that the video lesson originally scheduled for the evening was cancelled.
He let the team members go out to relax, but for the sake of safety, they were not allowed to leave the Olympic Village, and they were allowed to do anything else.
Such a decision made the players applaud.
Since the beginning of the Olympics, they are either competing or preparing for the competition. The accumulation of pressure really makes people breathless.
After dinner in the evening, they wandered around the Olympic Village in twos and threes.
The facilities in the Tokyo Olympic Village are still very sound, with cinemas, billiard halls, gyms, supermarkets... everything you need is there.
There are even hotels. From time to time, some athletes go in together, which is quite humane.
The men's basketball players separated one after another not long after. Tang Tian, Lin Yi, and Ding Yanyuhang were going to watch a movie together to relieve the pressure.
"Path of Glory" is still showing, and I don't know if it is available in this cinema.
"Brother Ding, come one."
As soon as he reached the entrance of the cinema, Lin Yi whistled at Ding Yan Yuhang.
It turned out that there was a byt box at the door.
"Don't make trouble!"
Ding Yanyuhang waved his hand immediately, the final is coming soon, he doesn't want to let off steam before the match.
Lin Yi laughed out loud when he saw it.
At this moment, the advertising wall above the box moved, and the Durex advertisement appeared on it. Tang Tian's handsome and strong figure caught people's attention.
Lin Yi was taken aback when he saw it.
He turned his head to look at Tang Tian, but Tang Tian had already dragged Ding Yan Yuhang away in advance.
Although he retired, Tang Tian was still playing the advertisement of Durex in the bullet screen. The real person stood in front of the advertisement, and the scene was a little awkward for a while.
Lin Yi laughed and chased after him, but at this moment, he found a few people they knew in the cinema.
Davis and Durant.
Like them, the tall ones are easy to spot in a crowd.
