291 The Spanish Team (1/5)

Chapter 291 The Spanish Team (15)

And just like Tang Tian said, under this tactical system, the young Guo Ailun played very well.

He can even squeeze Liu Wei into the rotation.

Plus Wang Shipeng, Zhu Fangyu, and Zhang Zhaoxu.

That's the whole rotation.

Wang Zhizhi and Liu Wei gradually fell out of the rotation.

Their emotions didn't seem very high, but as Tang Tian said, they didn't say anything.

They are all old people from the national team. Although they are unhappy, they know that such a change is good for the national team.

Time flies, half a month passed in the blink of an eye, the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games was held in London, and teams from various countries appeared one after another.

This time as the standard bearer for the Chinese team to play is Yi Jianlian.

The status of the men's basketball team in the national team has always been very high, which also shows that the country attaches great importance to this area.

Although the opening ceremony of the London Olympics was worse than BJ's, it was exciting enough.

The opening ceremony triggered a wave of discussions among domestic fans, because the standard bearer Yi Jianlian, the men's basketball team and the Spanish team also became the focus of discussion.

"Ah Lian is so handsome! Can anyone who knows the ball analyze whether they can kill Spain this time?"

"Difficult, very difficult, very difficult, you know we didn't make it when Dayao was here in 2008."

"Hey, when it comes to 2008, it really hurts. It's only one goal away, and the strongest men's basketball team has made history."

"You can even say that we played a few more minutes in that game and allowed Dayao to rest for two more minutes, and we won."

"Besides, if we win Spain, we will be more active in the following games. The strongest men's basketball team will not necessarily stop at the quarterfinals."

"Stop talking, my heart hurts if I talk too much!"

"The men's basketball team in 2008 was really the strongest. I think it was the best game in the history of the men's basketball team."

"There is no dispute!"

"Indeed, but many of you may not know that there was a reason why the men's basketball team was so excited to play Spain. When Spain was filming a promotional video, they made a pointing gesture around a court with a dragon pattern on the floor. Squinting and grimacing is an act of humiliating China."

"Yes, as an old fan, I was very impressed by this. The official statement at the time was a misunderstanding, and some Spanish players apologized, but that was all nonsense. That action was a standard insult to China, mocking us Chinese with small eyes."

"There's such a thing? This is the first time I've heard of it, so I really want to fuck them to death!"

"So you know why we were able to fight Spain to the end, and why Yao Ming was so depressed after losing."

"I'm really angry! I want to do it but I can't!"

"Actually, we also have a chance. Gasol is getting older, and Navarro is also getting older."

"That's right, and this men's basketball team is the toughest team I've ever seen. With Tang Tian, ​​I really don't think we have a chance at all."

"Come on men's basketball team, kill these guys and make them pay the price!"

...

The match against Spain is the first show of the men's basketball team, and because the opponent is a powerful Spain, this game has attracted a lot of attention in China.

This time all the basketball games will be played in the newly built London Olympic Basketball Stadium.

This basketball arena can accommodate up to 12,000 people watching games at the same time and is one of the largest arenas in the UK.

However, compared with BJ's Wukesong Golf Club, this place is much weaker.

The arena uses environmentally friendly materials (more economical), there is no large LED screen, and the on-site air conditioning and heating facilities are also average.

And after the game, the arena will be demolished immediately.

July 29 is the opening match, and a total of two games are arranged, both in the evening of local time.

One is China against Spain, and the other is the United States against France.

According to the arrangement of the organizing committee, each team has about 2 hours of adaptation time on the match day.

Of the four teams that played on the first day, three were favorites to win the championship, and there were quite a lot of reporters on this day.

In the morning, the training of the French and American teams was arranged, and in the afternoon, the training of the Spanish and Chinese teams.

Spain did not come this time except for Rubio. The main rotation in 2008 came, and in order to deal with the United States, they also naturalized Ibaka of the Thunder.

The inside size is Gasol and Ibaka, and there are Fernandez and Navarro on the back line, plus Calderon and Rodriguez.

Although Gasol and Navarro are getting older, the overall strength of this Spanish team is even stronger than in 2008.

The training of the Spanish team also attracted quite a few reporters to watch.

They are considered the team most likely to beat the American Dream Team.

Gasol Jr. was interviewed by local media on the sidelines.

"Yes, of course, we can't beat Team USA, so what are we here for?"

When asked if he has the confidence to beat the US team, Gasol is also full of pride.

This point is similar to Paul's phrase "If it's not to defeat the warriors, then what are we doing?"

"What do you think of tonight's opponent, the Chinese team?" The reporter naturally asked about tonight's game.

"Yeah, they're a good team. They gave us a lot of trouble in 2008. Yao is a great player."

Gasol's opening was quite official.

"But now Yao has retired." The reporter reminded.

After the reporter finished speaking, Gasol laughed unconsciously.

"Yes, so this is our opening game, that's all. We will find our state in the game and warm up for the following games. We will fully adjust our state before the quarter-elimination round."

"So this will be a warm-up match?" the reporter asked.

"No, I didn't mean that, but our main goal this time is the US team, and we are here to beat them."

...

When Gasol was interviewed, the Chinese team members had already come to the arena to prepare for the new training.

Deng Huade looked very angry when he heard this sentence. If there weren't so many reporters, he probably would have gone straight up to find trouble.

Yi Jianlian frowned slightly when he heard that, the contempt in Gasol's words was very strong.

Tang Tian was not angry after hearing this, but thought it was good news.

In a basketball game, the weak wins over the strong. In addition to your own performance, the opponent's performance is also very important.

The Spanish team underestimated the Chinese team, and they must have played more casually on the court, at least not at the beginning.

In that case, it is actually giving the Chinese team a chance.

Although the probability of an upset in a basketball game is not as high as that in a football game, once it gets going, the time for this kind of international basketball game is short, so there is a real chance.

You must know that even the mighty American Dream Team lost to opponents like Argentina, Lithuania, and even Puerto Rico.

Thanks for the reward of Hurricane CD.
