The Godfather of Basketball

"Treat them as ordinary players, play according to the training, don't think too much, understand?" Tang Tian shouted to the players with a loud voice.

The so-called ten minutes on the stage, ten years off the stage, the basketball game depends on the on-the-spot performance, but more on the training effect before the game.

The team members nodded one after another. This month's closed training has greatly improved their confidence.

"Come on, Chinese team." Tang Tian raised his hand to the players at this time, just like he used to do in the Rockets.

The team members put their hands around Tang Tian one after another, and then shouted with all their strength: "Come on!"

The voice was very loud, and the American team members over there had just finished warming up and left the field. They turned their heads in doubt when they heard the shout, and after seeing the way the Chinese team cheered, they all laughed and discussed.

It can be seen that they are quite relaxed when playing against the Chinese team.

This is also a normal reaction.

The American men's basketball team has performed poorly in the past ten years. In 2002, the "Dream Team Five" World Championships only won the sixth place. In 2004, the "Dream Team Six" won only one bronze medal in the Olympic Games. In 2006, the "Dream Team Seven" World Championships also stopped The quarterfinals, it can be said that this "Dream Team Eight" came with the task of saving the Dream Team.

However, there are also targets. The U.S. team lost in the past to rivals from Europe and the Americas, and a big player like the Chinese team simply couldn't catch their eyes.

In the past, the Chinese and American men's basketball teams played against each other four times in the Olympic Games. The maximum point difference was 68 points, and the minimum point difference was 39 points, and it was still in 1984.

In other words, the strengths of the two teams are not in the same dimension at all.

"Good evening, audience friends. Welcome to the Olympic men's basketball match broadcasted by CCTV for you. Next, I will bring you the Olympic men's basketball group B match. The two sides are the Chinese team and the US team. This is the Chinese team's current competition. My name is Xu Jicheng, and my partner tonight is Zhang Weiping and Zhang Weiping, who will commentate for the first time in the Olympic Games.” In the middle of the first floor of the auditorium, CCTV has already started broadcasting the men’s basketball team.

"Director Zhang, we saw that the Chinese team was very aggressive before the game. Do you think it is possible for them to win the game tonight?" Xu Jicheng continued.

"It's possible to win, after all, both sides have a chance to win, haha." Zhang Weiping said with a big laugh.

"Indeed, it's just that this opportunity is big or small. From the perspective of basketball professionals, a loss of 30 points is considered a win." Xu Jicheng is relatively a more rigorous commentator.

"Don't even mention it, the minimum point difference we played against in the past was 39 points. As long as we score 30 points, it doesn't matter how many points it is, it's a record." Zhang Weiping continued.

"Now that players from both sides are on the court, let's see how the game plays out."

While the two were chatting, the starters of both sides had already appeared one after another.

For the U.S. team, Kidd and Kobe "Peter Pan" started on the outside line, James and Anthony were on the front line, and Howard "Warcraft" was at the center.

For the Chinese team, Tang Tian also sent the strongest lineup, with Sun Yue and Wang Shipeng on the outside, Zhu Fangyu and Yi Jianlian on the front line, and Yao Ming at the center.

Amid the cheers of nearly 20,000 spectators at the scene, Yao Ming and Howard walked to the center of the court. Following the referee's whistle, they jumped up one after another.

Yao Ming turned the ball back to the Chinese team's half, and the Chinese team got the chance to attack first!

There was cheers at the scene.

Sun Yue holds the ball and advances forward.

Most of his attention is focused on Kidd who is facing up. He played in the NBA rotation for a year, and his awareness of protecting the ball is very good.

Kidd did not try to steal easily.

Sun Yue successfully pushed the ball into the frontcourt, and then handed the ball to Yao Ming who was near the free throw line.

The strikers and defenders of the Chinese men's basketball team are not strong in attacking ability, but fortunately, their shooting ability is not bad, and they have been training according to Cole's method as early as May, so Tang Tian built the team for this team. His tactical system is actually the system he used when he coached the Rockets in his first year.

Yao Ming supported at the free throw line, and other players looked for three-point opportunities on the outside pick-and-roll.

When Yao Ming received the ball, Zhu Fangyu and Yi Jianlian had already pulled to the outside line, or were doing off-ball pick-and-rolls or running positions.

Although he was staggering in the confrontation, he won because of his strong tactical execution and the US team's lack of focus on the field. Sun Yue successfully got an open three-pointer in the bottom corner.

Yao Ming flicked the ball to the past.

Anthony flew over to make up the defense, but it was too late.

Sun Yue shot quickly.

The basketball crossed a high parabola in the air and fell straight towards the basket.

"Shua!"

Three-point hollow into the net!

The Chinese team scored in their first offense!

The cheers on the scene were deafening. This goal was not just a goal. The fans never thought that the Chinese team could play such a beautiful match, and it was still when they were playing against the US team!

"It's okay, it's okay." Kobe shouted on the court, and then handed the ball to James.

James sent the ball, Kidd dribbled to the frontcourt, and then directly signaled Anthony to drop low.

Anthony is a superstar in the NBA, and he is a big killer in the international arena. In fact, the US team does not need to play tactics. According to Coach K's playbook, the US team uses two offensive tactics, star singles and pick-and-roll cooperation.

It was Yi Jianlian who defended against Anthony.

Yi Jianlian is a power forward, and Anthony is a small forward, but the "little melon" is not in vain in terms of strength.

Hit back, turn around, stop suddenly, and lean back.

A series of movements were completed coherently and in one go, and the shooting posture was also picturesque, which attracted the exclamation of many fans at the scene.

But soon, the audience exclaimed.

Because of Yi Jianlian, the defense was in place!

When Anthony made a shot, he felt Yi Jianlian's arm directly cover his shot point!

This was completely beyond Anthony's expectations.

Although the status of the two in the NBA is very different, they have also played against each other in the season. Yi Jianlian can tell at a glance that he is dull and unresponsive, but now, how could it be!

Relying on his sky-defying ability to adjust in the air, Anthony managed to avoid Yi Jianlian's block and throw the ball.

The strength of the basketball was just right, but because of interference, the angle was a bit off, and it hit the front of the basket directly.

"boom!"

The basketball bounced out of the frame.

Yao Ming pressed Howard to grab a defensive rebound.

There was another round of cheers.

"binggo!"

Tang Tian was also overjoyed at this time.

Basketball IQ is something that cannot be visualized, but Yi Jianlian didn't use his body to resist as before in defense just now, but waited until Anthony jumped up, and then used his excellent jumping and wingspan to interfere.

This is the change in basketball IQ.
