Chapter 1376 Familiar Formula, Familiar Rush!
Early the next morning after the opening ceremony, the archery competition started first, which also announced the official start of the Tokyo Olympic Games.
This year's Chinese audience is excited because the time difference with Japan is very small, and they can watch the live broadcast around the clock.
As the opening game of the men's basketball tournament, the Chinese men's basketball team also ushered in its first opponent, the Australian team, at 1:30 pm local time.
It should be said that the Olympic organizers also gave the Chinese team "respect" and were assigned to the death group, and the game was also in the afternoon.
And half past one is when people are most sleepy. The men's basketball team has not only opponents in this Olympic Games, but also various unfavorable situations.
However, the mentality of the team from top to bottom has been adjusted very well. After all, no matter how difficult the situation is, the opponents are the same as them.
Fighting willpower, the Chinese have always been very good at this.
At 12:30, the men's basketball players who took a half-hour break after lunch had already arrived at the arena early one after another.
What made them excited was that there were already a large number of Chinese audiences at the scene when they arrived.
After the rise of basketball, fans are more enthusiastic than ever.
After the normal warm-up training was over, Tang Tian and Lin Yi played a logo three-point competition.
Not to mention, although Lin Yi's hit rate is not as good as Tang Tian's, he really has that range.
This in itself is a very scary thing, you must know that Lin Yi is a serious big center with a height of 2.16 meters.
And when the shooting range shrinks to the three-point line, Lin Yi's three-pointers become very stable.
Zhou Qi has made a lot of progress in the past two years, and his three-point stability has improved a lot, but it is not enough to compare with Lin Yi.
Sure enough, hanging up is hanging up.
Half an hour before the start of the game, the Australian team was late.
Several cores were talking and laughing, and it could be seen that they were quite optimistic about the game.
The Chinese team's warm-up was about the same. Both Tang Tian and Lin Yi went to the sidelines to rest.
"It seems that winning them last year didn't make them value us."
Lin Yi couldn't bear the chatter again. Although he didn't participate in the competition last year, he must have watched the live broadcast.
"Isn't that a good thing?"
Tang Tian asked back.
One of the important reasons for the Australian team's loss last year was to underestimate the enemy, and now it seems that they still underestimate the enemy this year.
At this time, he even wanted to thank the Japanese media. It seems that the ranking is not a bad thing now.
"It's a good thing, of course it's a good thing. Shoot them. I have a teammate in Davis who is from Australia. He often tells me about playing in China. It's dirty, it's really dirty."
Tang Tian couldn't help laughing when he heard what Lin Yi said.
This was the first time he heard such a comment on his teammates.
But what Lin Yi said is true. The Australian team is good at physical confrontation. If they can make the ball from the outside, then the advantage of the Australian team will have to be discounted in half.
And after the space is enlarged, not only the two of them, but Ding Yanyuhang, Yi Jianlian's breakthrough, and Abdul Saramu's air cut will all come into play.
It seems that like him, Lin Yi's research on tactics before traveling through the capital is also quite good.
"Then, shoot 'em!"
Tang Tian stood up as he spoke.
The game is about to start.
The arena is already full of fans, more than half of which are Chinese fans.
This really makes people foolishly unclear whether this game is in Japan or in China.
Such a scene also made the Chinese team members excited.
Especially during the opening ceremony, the fans on the scene sang along with the music in the volunteer marching area, which made people's blood boil.
"For the championship!"
Tang Tian also took on the responsibility of leadership. After the opening ceremony, he called the team members together, raised hands and fists together, and shouted their slogans in a high-profile manner.
Defending the title is the only thing they have to do in Tokyo.
After the appearance ceremony, the starting lineups of the two teams were released one after another.
On the Australian team, Simmons and Mills on the outside, Ingles and Langdale on the striker, and Baynes at the center.
For the Chinese team, Tang Tian and Ding Yanyuhang are on the outside, Abdul Saramu and Yi Jianlian are on the front line, and Lin Yi is the center.
Lin Yi and Baynes' jump ball in midfield.
"You can't beat me."
Before the jump ball started, Lin Yi's trash talk had already started to greet him.
Tang Tian felt dizzy when he heard it not far away. He felt that if he was Lin Yi's opponent, he would definitely not be able to resist beating Lin Yi.
Baines also had a bad temper, and he showed Lin Yi a vicious expression, but Lin Yi responded with a sweet smile.
This guy!
Tang Tian was speechless after watching.
The referee whistled, Lin Yi stretched out his long arms, and turned the ball back to the Chinese team's half. After all, he was half a head taller than Baynes.
The Chinese team took the lead in attacking.
Tang Tian took the ball to the frontcourt, he stretched out his hand to make a tactical gesture, and then suddenly shot a cold arrow, a large three-pointer one meter away from the three-point line.
Simmons hadn't played with Tang Tian for a year, and his dominance over Tang Tian was already a bit vague, so he didn't react right now.
"Shua!"
Tang Tianchao made a three-pointer and won the first place for the Chinese team!
The Chinese fans at the scene burst into cheers.
Here it is, this familiar rush!
"Oh, Tang Tian Demon King's touch looks very good!"
The on-site commentator also exclaimed. You must know that this was Tang Tianshi's first shot after more than a year.
It can be thrown in the first shot, and it is super far, which is really not something ordinary people can do.
Looking back, the Australian team played with one star and Simmons broke through to the basket.
Tang Tian's first attempt to steal was unsuccessful, and it could be seen that his body was not as flexible as before he retired.
Simmons seized the opportunity to fly for a dunk.
"boom!"
But just as he was flying into the air, a big hand covered him behind him.
Tang Tian chased and flew the fan out of the field!
The cheers at the scene exploded again.
One super far, one chasing after, Tang Tian retired for a year, but once he played, he was still the familiar Tang. Offensive and defensive invincible Tian!
The head coach of the Australian team, Lee Mannis, looked very ugly.
His understanding is similar to the strength ranking given by the Japanese media. Tang Tian's state of not playing professional basketball for a year is bound to be a problem.
Especially Tang Tian's performance in the warm-up match of the Chinese team confirmed this point.
But who would have thought that Tang Tian would show such a state in the first Olympic Games, which was far beyond his expectation.
Just thinking about it, the Australian team sent a sideline ball, Mills' breakthrough was interfered by Lin Yi's long arm and smashed out of the frame, and the rebound was also accepted by Lin Yi!
This new No. 1 pick of the Chinese team has greatly improved the strength of the fifth position of the Chinese team!
In the frontcourt position of the Chinese team, Tang Tianqiu gave Ding Yanyuhang a pass, and then caught the ball with a fake three-pointer and directly hit Simmons.
It wasn't Simmons' dish, it was Tang Tian's behavior of throwing it into Chaoyuan as soon as he came up, which was too terrifying.
After pointing to Simmons, Tang Tian accelerated his breakthrough to the free throw line, and before the arrival of the Australian inside defense, he made a signature emergency stop.
"Shua!"
The voice is pleasant and sweet.
ps: Ask for a monthly pass on the last day of the month~
