"Hello, viewers, this is Tianchao Sports Channel. The game broadcast tonight is the Chinese men's basketball team versus the American men's basketball team."
"This game is really a very eye-catching game." Kefan said: "Everyone must know what happened yesterday. Tang Qianqian said directly during the interview that the Chinese team has a chance to win. All of a sudden, this matter became
It has become the topic of after-dinner conversation among sports fans all over the world. Teacher Yang Yi, Teacher Li, Dapeng, what do you think?"
"What is the key to this goal? This is a must-lose game, because everyone in history knows very well that the Chinese team loses to the American team by more than 40 points per game. This is a fact. But think about it, here
Under such circumstances, is it possible that Tang Qian, as the number one player in the world today, wants to say that his team is not good and cannot win? That is not possible either. So, this is how I understand it. When Tang Qian said this, that is
It’s a necessary process, so don’t over-interpret it.”
"I think this game still depends on how well Tang Qian can play. The U.S. team has not lost for a long time since 2008. So, if you want to win, it will definitely be quite difficult. But there are
We can't give up just because of difficulties. We must play well in the home game, just like in 2008, and do our best. From this aspect, I think what Tang Qian said is correct."
"Tang Qian is naturally recognized as the number one and strongest player currently. But basketball is an overall thing. If the overall gap is too big, we can't win. So I understand what Tang Qian said, but is it true?
It’s actually hard to say whether we can win.”
…
It can be seen that although everyone said that what Tang Qian said was correct, there was still the same sentence between the lines.
Can't win.
This can also be seen from tonight's commentary, which is more about enjoying the process and not asking about the results.
In the locker room, everyone was shocked by what No. 11 said. This was the first time that everyone really felt that this guy was not joking, he really wanted to win.
Beat the American team.
"This year's lineup of the American team is actually not too scary. At least it is far worse than the previous ones. So everyone needs to understand that they will not really be the invincibles they were before. As for the dream team
, which is even more nonsense.”
"Some people in the NBA are not even stars, so what are they afraid of?"
…
"Look, this team actually has a big flaw. This is some data analysis I did. Everyone can take a look at it now. Regardless of their counterattack and outside impact, they are unparalleled and are still the strongest in the World Cup.
However, their inside line is not good! We can look at the game between them and Turkey. In fact, if Turkey did not miss the most hilarious free throw at the end, they would have already lost the American team in advance. So, this
The team is really not that scary."
"Their strength is counterattack and speed. Needless to say, this time, they lack a true marksman. Curry, Durant, Thompson and the like are not here, so the outside firepower cannot kill anyone. From the front
It can be seen from the American team's three-point shooting percentage that even if we are given a chance, we will not be directly overwhelmed by outside shots. Then, choose the inside, cover me, help me rotate, and let me maximize my chances.
Stay inside. If this is done, I can guarantee that I will have a great chance to bring the entire American team's offense into a deadlock. But the premise is that you must help me complete the defense change as much as possible! This is crucial!"
…
"This team is not good at cracking zone defense! Judging from my observations in these games, the international coaching ability of this old guy Popovich is more than ten blocks worse than the original coach Old K. His understanding of FIBA
We are not familiar with them at all, many tactical arrangements and settings are unreasonable, and they are not accustomed to the local environment. In addition, their team training time is too short, and there is simply not enough tacit understanding, so these are the things we need to pay attention to."
…
"The last point is shooting. We must solve this problem tonight! Don't be slow to start! Look at how we caught the dream team in front in 2008. Without three-pointers, do you think it is possible? So three
Points, three points, three points! We must start well tonight and don’t play too passively!”
…
"In terms of tactics, we must remember this. It is common for us, but we are not familiar with them at all! This is a unique trick! It will definitely be useful against the American team!"
…
In the locker room, Tang Qian's voice was all over, including what he had said before the game. He had reviewed one side of it again, telling everyone not to forget these key points. This posture is really full of momentum, and it doesn't look like
Talking nonsense.
Looking at the No. 11 inside who was carefully analyzing the tactics, some of the original starting players felt uncomfortable and whispered to each other: "Oh, what he said is true! Do you really think you can beat the American team? Still
Do you really think you are still with the Los Angeles Lakers? Ridiculous! This is the Chinese team! Not the Lakers!"
"Who says otherwise? But he is really capable of deceiving, and these people really believe it. I want to see how he can win against the dream team! If he can win, I will be his little brother for the rest of my life!
He asked me to go east, but I will never go west!"
In such an atmosphere, the game started. The Chinese team's lineup tonight started with Tang Qian + Yi Jianlian + Abdul Salamu + Ke Lanbaike + Yan Yufeng. Tang Qian was very bold and direct in this game.
Letting "the strongest high school student" Yan Yufeng directly start the starting lineup has never happened before. He naturally has his own reasons for doing this. Yan Yufeng is more familiar with the American basketball style, and the key point is that he
He is much taller than Sun Minhui, and his physical fitness and athletic ability are also much better. Therefore, facing the United States team, which still has the strongest outside firepower in the World Cup, special arrangements are needed.
"Are you nervous?" Tang Qian looked at Yan Yufeng and asked. The latter was stunned, and immediately said with force on his neck: "It's nothing! I'm not nervous, Brother Tang. Don't worry."
"Okay, I'll leave it to you. How to play in the opening game, remember? Spain's Rubio can play at a very young age, and you can naturally do the same. We Chinese are no worse than others."
"Yes, I remember it. Brother Tang."
"Okay, then it's up to you. Come on."
The starting lineup of the American team is, Mitchell + Barnes + Walker + Harris + Turner.
What can I say about this lineup? Seriously, if you give him the Lakers lineup, he can blow it up without any effort. It would be embarrassing if he doesn't win by a few dozen points. There are no real giants, and in the end
The most powerful ones are Kemba Walker. There are even better ones who are not even at the full-star level. Is this also called the Dream Team? Haha, it’s more like being called the Beggar’s Dream Team.
"Tang~ Do you really want to beat us? Your joke is so funny." Kemba Walker can actually speak on behalf of the dream team. It's really... haha. Tang Qian looked at him and faced him.
He said expressionlessly: "If this were in the NBA, you and I would have no right to speak harshly. Under your leadership, the Hornets are still a bad team. I'm too lazy to talk trash to people on a bad team. It's unnecessary and pointless.
"Kemba Walker was a little displeased when he saw that he was exposed all of a sudden. This is a battle for the national team. What club are you talking about? I am not as good as you, so is the American team not as good as you? You really don't understand the situation.
Ah you.
"Don, this is the World Cup, not the NBA."
"Oh~ Really~ Then your death will only be worse. You are in FIBA, not as good as the NBA."
…
"Forget it, don't get angry with him. It's pointless, and you can't blame him. We've fought and won." Seeing the boss Kemba Walker come back deflated, Joe Harris immediately consoled him.
"Yes, if he wins, let him know how to talk to our dream team!" Kemba Walker gritted his teeth and said.
…
The U.S. bench.
"Greg, don't we need to change the lineup from the beginning? I'm afraid the Chinese team has already studied this lineup."
"What has changed? If you have studied it, study it. Will our American team still lose to a mere Chinese team?" Popovich said with a pretentious look, just like in the NBA, pretending to be sophisticated.
: "An Xin, we can't lose. I have never taken the Chinese team seriously. With him, it will be the same."
"Basketball is for five people. He is nothing if he is alone."
"Besides..." Popovich looked arrogant and said like an old bitch: "Whatever goes wrong, I can handle it."
"So just relax, watch the game, and then we'll go to the Imperial Capital to play the next game."
Seeing that Popovich said this with such confidence, Cole didn't say anything. Although he is capable in the coaching world, compared with Popovich, he is naturally inferior. Therefore, Popovich
No matter what, he didn't say anything more.
Just, I don't know why, but he always feels a little uneasy.
This feeling does not just refer to facing the Chinese team tonight. In fact, this feeling has already been felt since playing Turkey in the group stage.
Tonight, I hope there won't be any problems.
Looking at Popovich's face, which seemed to have just been drinking, he was vaguely worried.
