At 4:00 on July 28, 2012, the London Olympics opening ceremony officially began.
Under nightfall, the giant bell hanging in the main venue rang slowly, as if to welcome athletes from all over the world.
This time the theme is "Wonderful Island!"
It focuses on displaying the history, culture and modern social customs of the British Isles.
It must be admitted that hosting the Olympics in peaceful times is definitely an important symbol that best demonstrates the magnificence of a great country.
Since London, the capital of England, defeated Paris in 2005 and became the host city of the 30th Summer Olympics, the entire country and people have been making various preparations for this grand ceremony.
Since July 2005, newspapers, radio, television and the Internet have been bombarded with Olympic-related sports news almost every day. At such a critical moment, everyone and everything must make way for it.
Wang Zelin wore a sportswear embroidered with the national flag and joined all the national team athletes in the square formation!
The Olympic flame was lit again in London, and he was extremely excited.
As a member of the Tianchao Sports delegation, Wang Zelin was filled with pride and excitement to be able to attend such a grand opening ceremony in person.
Playing in the NBA is to realize the basketball dream in your heart; playing in the Olympics is to represent your motherland.
The feeling of the two is really different!
Now, Wang Zelin is beginning to understand why Yao Ming had to return when he was called back, and Yi Jianlian was able to withstand the ridicule and humiliation of countless people, dragging the China Men's Basketball Team away for more than ten years.
Only when people reach a certain height in their own field can they deeply understand: It turns out that the word country is sometimes really more important than everything else!
Wang Zelin watched with excitement as Yi Jianlian, who was wearing a red suit and white trousers and holding a five-star red flag, was walking at the front of the Tianchao Sports delegation. At this moment, he was extremely proud!
…
The men's basketball schedule of this Olympic Games does not have a few days of buffer time like the one in 2008. This time, the opening ceremony will be held on the 28th, and the first game of the men's basketball team will be on the 29th, and the opponent is the Spanish men's basketball team, which is the strongest in Group B.
.
Compared with four years ago, the Spanish men's basketball team is even stronger: it has NBA stars such as the Gasol brothers and 28ka on the inside, and NBA-level players such as Navarro, Fernandez and Calderon on the outside.
.
Looking at the Olympic men's basketball battlefield, the Spanish men's basketball team in its golden age is still the most capable team to challenge the United States' "Dream Ten".
In contrast, the strength of the Tianchao men's basketball team four years later has declined instead of rising.
In the past four years, China has not only lost Yao Ming, but Wang Zhizhi, the core of the men's basketball team, is already 35 years old. His offensive power is still there but he is weak on the defensive end. Yi Jianlian, the core of the new generation, has been completely reduced to a bench player in the NBA.
Although the Chinese men's basketball team in the "Yao-less era" won championships in the Guangzhou Asian Games and the Wuhan Asian Championships, the dangerous process frightened fans.
As for the most popular newcomer Wang Zelin.
Sorry, Yi Jianlian was the sixth overall pick back then, and you, Wang Zelin, were only the eighth overall pick. Can you expect that?
Therefore, after the gorgeous opening ceremony, Wang Zelin could clearly feel that his teammates around him became nervous that night.
Although Yao Ming, head coach Deng Huade and others have already said that the game against Spain will mainly focus on training, and the main opponents of the men's basketball team are the Kangaroo Nation and the host country, the United Kingdom.
The Chinese men's basketball team, which is placed in Group B, will compete against Spain, Russia, Kangaroo Country, Brazil and the host team Great Britain.
If you want to qualify from the group, you must defeat the last two relatively weak kangaroo countries and the United Kingdom. This is also the target set by the superiors for the Chinese men's basketball team: to reach the top eight!
However, the fact is that the famous coach Gong Luming said frankly before the game: It will be difficult for the men's basketball team to reach the top eight this time, and the top ten is the normal level.
In this regard, all the players still held a breath in their hearts: They are also fighting for the country, who would not want to win in their hearts!
…
On the evening of the 29th, the Chinese men's basketball team faced the challenge of winning the championship in its first Olympic game, second only to the Spanish men's basketball team, which was the most popular team in the American Dream Team.
The Tianchao men's basketball team will start this game with Wang Zelin, Yi Jianlian, Zhu Fangyu, Wang Shipeng and Liu Wei.
Wang Zelin stood on the court and glanced at the opponent's players: 96-year-old Pau Gasol, 92-year-old Marc Gasol, 76-year-old Spanish demon Fernandez, 78-year-old Calderon, 75-year-old Lirumeria~~~ and those who were sitting there
Ibaka, the 80+ big man on the bench.
Are you still fighting like this?
Seeing the lineup of the Spanish men's basketball team made Wang Zelin thirsty.
Is this the Spanish golden generation that only lost to the United States by 7 points in the final?
He remembered that in his previous life, Yi Jianlian faced such an extremely strong Spanish team and led the Tianchao men's basketball team to lose after three quarters without being favored by everyone. He even scored 30 points and 12 rebounds.
Two pairs of large sizes.
Big brother is big brother!
...
"Hello, viewers, this is Tianchao Sports Channel. What is being broadcast live for you is the first game of the London Olympics men's basketball game. The two sides are the Chinese men's basketball team and the Spanish men's basketball team."
"Let's take a look at the lineups of both sides~~~"
While Director Zhang and Teacher Yu Jia were explaining, all the players from both teams had arrived near the center circle.
"The two players jumping the ball now are my country's young player Wang Zelin and Spain's NBA All-Star center Marc Gasol~~~Well done to Wang Zelin, who won the first goal for the China Men's Basketball Team!"
After Wang Zelin beat Xiaojia in a jump, the ball was in Liu Wei's hands. Liu Wei followed the pre-match tactical instructions and consciously lowered the pace to play positional warfare. When he dribbled the ball past half-court, the players from both teams had already taken their positions.
Since FIBA does not have a three-second defensive rule, the bonus for the inside is too much.
When Gasol and Gasol were in the paint, they looked like two big white bears. Together with Wang Zelin, who was taller and bigger than them, the entire penalty area was already crowded.
Outside the three-point line, Liu Wei passed the ball to Zhu Fangyu on the right, and then began to move around the half court without the ball.
As soon as Zhu Fangyu received the ball, he was stared at by Fernandez.
Zhu Ba and Wang Qi, as Chinese national players who have competed in the international arena for many years, have excellent three-point abilities that make all opponents dare not relax easily.
Since there was no chance, Zhu Fangyu would not mess around. After carefully controlling the ball twice, he quickly handed it over to Wang Zelin on the right.
Seeing that Wang Zelin had a chance to play singles, Yi Jianlian quickly retreated and successfully attracted Dajia out.
First, because Yi Jianlian does have a threat from long-range shooting ability;
Second, Dajia believes that his younger brother definitely has the ability to defend against any insider in the international arena.
The lower body strength of 86 and the upper body strength of 84 are already top-notch among NBA insiders, but it is a pity that he met Wang Zelin who inherited the strength of the Sharks.
Wang Zelin was blocked by Xiaojia the moment he caught the ball, but he didn't pause at all and directly drove in hard.
"Whirring whirring!"
"Bang bang! Bang bang!"
The competition between inside players is destined to be full of male hormones, and the sound of heavy breathing and muscle collision shocked everyone's hearts.
An even more unbelievable scene happened. Chinese young player Wang Zelin actually forced the All-Star center behind him to retreat step by step through hitting.
"This boy's power is actually..."
In addition to being surprised, Xiaojia clearly felt that the latter's elbow had never left his chest after leaning against Wang Zelin.
Whenever Wang Zelin exerts force, his elbow will inadvertently rub lovingly against Xiao Jia's.
These actions were considered normal behavior by the spectators and referees nearby, but Xiaojia himself felt a pain in his heart that he couldn't express.
Wang Zelin's performance reminded Xiaojia of his teammate "Black Bear" Zach Randolph.
Is this kid really a 19-year-old boy? Where did he learn such unique skills as an old-school player?
Finally, Wang Zelin came to the three-second zone~~~"Dunk Tianzun has been triggered"~~~
First, he quickly turned around and pushed Xiaojia to the side. When he got to the basket, he took off and raised his feet naturally. Without giving Xiaojia a chance to adjust his position, he directly dunked the opponent from the front.
"Ahhh!"
After completing the dunk, Wang Zelin couldn't help but roared at Xiaojia.
