The invincible kryptonite of basketball

3+2 Chapter Team Leader (3+10/[-])

The opponent of the Chinese men's basketball team in the next game is the host British team.

The situation of the British team is worse than that of the Chinese team. They have 0 wins and 3 losses in the first three games. As the host, they urgently need to win a victory against the Chinese team.

Before the match, Tang Tian mobilized the players of the Chinese team.

This game is the one that the Chinese team has the best chance to win, and it is also the most critical game that determines their qualifying situation.

The Olympic Basketball Stadium was packed.

Although basketball is not a mainstream sport in the UK, as one of the three major ball games, the popularity of the Olympic Games is not low.

After the start of the game, the Chinese team took the upper hand at the opening, but soon, the British team's Ruhr Deng began to explode.

Deng is called "British Jordan". His style of play is to swing between the third and fourth positions. If Tang Tian is not in the position, the rest of the Chinese team can't stop him at all.

And the whistle was obviously biased towards the British team. Both Chen Jianghua and Sun Yue got two offenders early.

Guo Ailun, the young player who replaced the Chinese team, had a brilliant performance. He received Tang Tian's pass several times to defend and counterattack and scored.

The Chinese team has also been deadlocked in the score.

In the final quarter of the game, Tang Tian's consecutive steals once helped the Chinese team overtake the score, but the referee once again dominated the game.

After two highly controversial penalties, the Chinese team finally lost 71 to 74 regrettably.

The loss was a big blow to the Chinese team, but fortunately they also gained something.

The teenager Guo Ailun scored 13 points and 2 assists in this game, which was an eye-catching performance.

After losing this game, the Chinese team's record is 1 win and 3 losses, which is the same as that of the British team and Brazil.

The British team played Spain in the last game, and the chances of winning were extremely low.

The Chinese team and the Brazilian team will play against each other directly.

This also means that there is only one way for the Chinese team to advance to the top 8, defeating the Brazilian team.

The Brazilian men's basketball team is strong. In the last century, it won the World Championship twice and the Olympic bronze medal three times.

In this Olympic Games, they brought all 4 NBA players and strived to break through.

However, the first few games of the group stage were unlucky, and they were beaten by Australia and Russia.

For them, the only way to advance is to beat the Chinese team.

In other words, this is a life-and-death battle where whoever loses will be eliminated, and whoever wins will advance to the top 8.

Fighting a life-and-death battle with Brazil, the domestic fans were also excited.

"I was at the match two years ago. Zhu Ba's iron fist was so powerful that the Brazilian team ran all over the field. Zhou Peng's Foshan Wuying kick was also very eye-catching."

"That was the most domineering fight I've ever seen in a men's basketball team."

"I heard that the warm-up match was quite a sensation in Brazil, and the Brazilian Basketball Association even protested to us."

"What are you protesting about? They played so dirty in that game. Zhang Qingpeng almost died on his neck when he was hit by them."

"That's right, the conflict was not that big, but when the Brazilian team left the field, two players made mocking faces at our bench, which triggered the second large-scale conflict."

"They looked down on the Chinese team in their bones, and they were only the second team at the time."

"Better than you, isn't it normal to look down on you? Both teams beat you."

"It's just right this time. They beat them once in the arena. Didn't they retire and go home last time? This time, they just beat them home!"

……

On the day of the match between the two sides, the Brazilian team conducted warm-up training in the auxiliary hall next to the main hall.

Many reporters also came to the scene.

This men's basketball team has many NBA players such as Nene, Varejao, Splitter, and Barbosa. Although the performance has not been good so far, the attention is quite high.

After the training, the outside core of the Brazilian team "Lightning" Barbosa was interviewed by reporters on the sidelines.

"What do you think of tonight's opponent, the Chinese team?" a local Spanish reporter asked.

"They are a brutal team." Contrary to the reporter's expectations, Barbosa used a very bad adjective.

"what?"

"When our second team players played against them two years ago, they encountered their very uncivilized behavior."

Barbossa looked brooding.

The reporter still doesn't understand why Barbosa cares so much about a warm-up match and the second team.

But this is also a normal thing. Few people know that No. 9 Paul, who was beaten by Zhu Fangyu in that game, is Barbosa's cousin.

The reporter didn't understand and didn't ask questions, but he didn't stop asking questions either.

"So are you confident about beating your opponent tonight?"

"Of course, we will beat our opponents on the basketball court and tell them what basketball really means." Barbosa said murderously.

The reporter was surprised by Barbosa's reaction.

It seems that the group qualifying battle between China and Brazil will be much more intense than expected.

Before the game between China and Brazil, Deng Huade delivered a passionate speech in the locker room.

This is pure violent chicken soup.

"...I don't know why we can't win tonight! Smack them in the ass! Get them out of here! London! Just kick them back to Rio!"

It was Deng Huade who led the team in the fight two years ago, and he looks as handsome as before.

Tang Tian didn't say anything at this time, the Brazilian team was much stronger than the UK, and also much stronger than China.

And this kind of life-and-death battle, they can't underestimate the enemy like Spain. This game will be difficult for the Chinese team.

The team really needs such chicken soup to boost morale.

At this time, there were 6000 people sitting in the Olympic Basketball Stadium.

This time, Chinese fans have an overwhelming advantage over Brazilian fans. There are nearly [-] Chinese fans in the huge basketball stadium!

It occupies a full third of the arena!

This is a battle of life and death for the Chinese team, and the fans are going all out!

In contrast, there are less than a hundred fans at the Brazil team!

When the men's basketball players walked to the arena and saw the five-star red flags, they felt their whole blood boil.

Tang Tian was also deeply touched.

Chinese fans are forcibly turning London into their home field!

During the warm-up before the game, the players were very excited. Yi Jianlian even performed a few dunks, which drew cheers from the Chinese fans on the sidelines.

"Tonight is a life-and-death battle for the men's basketball team. I am very proud to see so many Chinese fans at the scene!" Yang Jian in the commentary was very excited.

"Yes, don't talk about the men's basketball team, but our fans' support for him has never changed." Zhang Weiping also said.

After the warm-up was over, players from both sides were introduced one after another.

Along with the baked together are the starters of the two teams.

The Chinese team has made fine-tuning of the starting lineup for this game. Chen Jianghua and Sun Yue are still on the outside line, Tang Tian and Yi Jianlian are on the front line, and Zhang Zhaoxu is the starting center.

The Brazilian team is also the main force, with Marcelo Huertas and Barbosa on the outside, Marcelo Machado and Nene on the striker, and Varejao at the center.

Yi Jianlian and Varejao's jump ball.

Yi Jianlian showed his bouncing advantage and returned the ball to the Chinese team's half.

"The game is on!"

Accompanied by Yang Jian's very familiar commentary, countless domestic fans also turned their attention to this game.

Qualify life and death battle!

The Chinese team attacked the frontcourt, and Tang Tian organized at the top of the circle.

After Yi Jianlian gave Sun Yue a pick-and-roll, he cut to the basket and restrained the Brazilian team's defense.

Sun Yue got a chance on the outside after running back.

Tang Tian threw the ball away immediately.

A very good point guard three-point opportunity.

Sun Yue made an adjusted three-pointer.

"boom!"

The shot was obviously a bit heavy, and the ball hit the back edge of the basket and popped out.

Nene protects the defensive rebound.

The Brazilian team advanced to the frontcourt. Barbosa found Nene for a pick-and-roll and rushed to Yi Jianlian. Before Yi Jianlian blocked the block, he went to the inside line and scored a layup.

The Chinese team attacked again in the frontcourt.

Tang Tian didn't organize the ball, but ran a three-point catch by himself.

The opportunity came out, but Chen Jianghua's ball was too early, and it was directly blocked by Barbosa.

Barbosa counterattacked after stealing the ball, dribbled the ball behind Sun Yue in the fast break, and went to the frontcourt to add 2 points.

"Brazilian Lightning" is still as fast as lightning, scoring 4 points in a row in the opening game.

Tang Tian signaled Yi Jianlian to go low to play Varejao.

The ball was in a good position, and Tang Tian got it right away.

Varejao is good at defending on the move, and this kind of top man defense is not effective.

Yi Jianlian's chance, he chose to shoot after turning around, but the shot was a bit tight.

The ball slid out of the basket and the rebound was accepted by Varejao.

The Brazilian team attacked the frontcourt, Huertas sent a second pass, and Machado made a three-pointer from the outside.

7 is better than 0!

Tang Tian gave the ball to Yi Jianlian in the frontcourt. Yi Jianlian was in a deep position, and he turned around and wanted to dunk.

But the ball was a bit too strong, and Varejao fell out of the field.

Before Yi Jianlian pulled it up, the baseline referee gave an offensive foul.

The Brazilian team played again in the frontcourt. Barbosa scored Nene this time, and Nene moved away from Ding Jinhui's one-handed dunk to score.

9 is better than 0!

The Brazilian team opened the offensive like a tide!

Deng Huade reached out and called a timeout.

When Barbosa left the field, he roared at the Chinese fans on the sidelines.

He looked beyond excited.

The Chinese fans on the sidelines were restless.

Although they knew that there was a gap in strength between the Chinese team and the Brazilian team, no one expected it to be like this at the beginning.

"Our players are too tight."

Zhang Weiping's eyes were vicious, and he could see the problems on the field at a glance.

Yes, the body is too tight.

Tang Tian also felt it.

When playing Spain, the Chinese team made 20 of 12 shots from outside, and the shooting percentage was 60%.

A big part of the reason for the good hand feeling is that you can let go and have no psychological burden. Anyway, it is normal not to win, and if you win, you will make a lot of money.

As a result, after a few shots in the opening game, the back hand really warmed up and the shots became more accurate.
