Chapter 852: Doing Something You Know You Can’t Do (Second Update!)

"The Chinese team tried their best, but the American team is too scary to be serious. No team in the world can beat them!"

"The outcome has been decided. Although the Chinese team lost, they can leave Rio with their heads held high!"

"Although it is an honor to lose, a silver medal is enough to illustrate this Chinese team and Tang Tian's strength!"

"Let us congratulate the American team, they won the 19th Olympic Games! Congratulations to the Dream Team 12!"

"Durant has become the biggest winner! This is the first time he has defeated Tang Tian in the past two years!"

"The Olympics are over, let's start looking forward to the new season, and the third season of the Pelicans and Warriors! At that time, Durant and Don will be a truly fair competition!"

…

At halftime, the fans on the hotline were already celebrating the American team’s victory in advance.

Tang Tian and the Chinese team both played their own characteristics in the first half, but the disparity in strength between the two teams made the outcome no longer suspense.

In the locker room at halftime, we were lagging behind by a big score, and the atmosphere seemed a bit dull.

Although reaching the finals has exceeded the task, everyone wants to win the gold medal.

Even if you win an Olympic gold medal in an ordinary sport, you will be proud of your ancestors when you return to China, let alone basketball among the three major sports.

If we really win the gold medal, every member of this team will be a hot favorite when they return home and make history.

But now the gold medal is so close and yet so far away from them.

Tang Tian was sitting on the bench, resting and thinking about how to turn the situation around.

The personal strength of the Chinese team is far different from that of the American team. In this case, tactics and everything else have no effect. It is really too difficult to win, or even impossible.

At this moment, the door of the locker room was pushed open, and a familiar big face filled the players' sight.

Yao Ming came to the locker room.

Seeing Yao Ming come in, the members of the Chinese team all stood up one after another to say hello.

Yao Ming walked up to Tang Tian and patted him on the shoulder and said thank you for your hard work, then turned around and glanced at the others.

"I really envy you."

Yao Ming's first words made people confused.

But Tang Tian soon knew that Yao Ming was here to boost the team's morale.

"I have been playing for so many years, and I have always dreamed of meeting the American team in the finals, because that means I have the chance to beat them and win the gold medal."

What Yao Ming said next moved the Chinese team members deeply.

Yao Ming is indeed such a person. He was probably the person before Tang Tian who wanted to beat the US team the most and was least afraid of the US team.

"So I envy you, because you have this opportunity. If I hadn't retired, I could still play. I must play."

Tang Tian was deeply moved when he heard this.

Yao Ming was here to boost morale, but what he said came from the bottom of his heart.

If the men's basketball team in 2008, plus the current Tang Tian and Yi Jianlian, would have been evenly matched in the first half.

"But I have retired, and now even more..."

Yao Ming said and slapped his big belly humorously, which made the team members laugh.

Yao Ming also laughed, and when he finished laughing, he continued.

"But you're still on the court and you still have this opportunity."

"I won't ask you to beat the American team. After all, I have never done that."

Yao Ming's words once again made the players laugh.

Tang Tian also laughed after hearing this.

To be honest, Yao Ming's chicken soup level is very good, especially his humor from time to time, which can keep people listening attentively.

"I just want to say that such an opportunity may come in the future. Even if it does, it will be four years later. A lot of things will happen in four years. Many of you may not enter the national team again, or perhaps such an opportunity will not come again. , I just want to say, don’t let yourself have regrets in the face of such an opportunity.”

Don't let yourself have regrets!

Yao Ming's last words were very sincere. After hearing this, the team members nodded one after another, with fighting spirit rekindled in their eyes.

Trailing by 20 points at halftime, it would be impossible to defeat the US team now, but even if they lose, they must lose meaningfully.

Just like in war, it is better to die standing than to be a deserter!

Tang Tian was also encouraged.

To be honest, the difference in strength between the two teams made him realize for the first time that tactics were ineffective, but Yao Ming was right.

It’s not good to think too much, just do it and get it done!

Yao Ming's arrival and speech greatly boosted the team's morale.

Tang Tian struck while the iron was hot and came up with the only tactic he could think of.

If the American team plays seriously, the Chinese team can basically not defend them. In other words, except for him and Yi Jianlian, the other three positions are destined to be blown away.

So Tang Tian's strategy is to attack with all his strength and leave all defense to his teammates.

If you can prevent one, you can count on it. If you can't, you can't.

He wants to attack with all his strength, let go and attack, and attack to death!

This is a break-the-pot-break style of play, and the chance of success is very small.

But as Yao Ming said before, no matter how small the opportunity is, you have to try, just to leave no regrets!

Go ahead to dangers!

Even if you know you can’t do something, you still have to do it!

After returning from the intermission, all the Chinese fans present turned their attention to the Chinese team's half.

Trailing by 20 points at halftime, the opponent was still the American team, and there was basically no chance of winning.

But in the Olympic finals, they still had hope until the last minute.

They saw the Chinese team members coming out of the tunnel and saw the look of determination on their faces.

This is the feeling of fighting for it!

Seeing this, they also became inexplicably excited. The Chinese will never give up easily!

In contrast, the members of the U.S. team seemed to be in a more relaxed mood.

In the first half, the Chinese team played well and was still behind by a big score. As long as they played normally, the Chinese team would not have many chances.

Durant was still joking with Green on the bench.

Although he only scored 10 points in the first half, defeating Tang Tian and the humiliation of the first blood group stage made him feel quite beautiful.

Back in the second half, the Chinese team's starting lineup was adjusted. Ding Yanyuhang and Zhou Qi replaced Zhou Peng and Kolan Bek.

Ding Yanyuhang was a rising star in the CBA last season. His offense, including shooting and breakthroughs, was very good, but his defense was average.

This kind of Chinese team plays around Tang Tian, ​​with 3D players like Zhai Xiaochuan, Kolan Bek, and Zhou Peng playing a lot of playing time.

But he and Guo Ailun both have limited time on the stage.

Now that the two are starting together, the Chinese team is going to attack the rhythm.

"That's not a good choice."

The Brazilian commentator at the scene couldn't help but shake his head after seeing the Chinese team's adjustment.

Coach K also smiled after seeing it.

The American team has a luxurious lineup, and what they are least afraid of is confrontation.

There are many ways for the Chinese team to lose, and they have now chosen the easiest way to die.

It's like a soldier holding a machete trying to charge with a soldier holding a machine gun. Not only will he die, but he will die miserably.
