Chapter 847 Excited Tang Tian

There are still two days before the start of the semi-finals, and the top four teams are making final preparations.

The Spanish team conducted high-intensity training that lasted two days.

It can be seen from their actions that they attach great importance to the Chinese team.

On the last day before the game, a Brazilian reporter interviewed Fernandez, who had just finished training.

"What do you think of the loss four years ago?"

The reporter's question was sharp, but Fernandez had already expected the reporter to ask such a question.

"That's meaningless, you know we've beaten them many times, the Olympics, World Championships, warm-up games, you know all the games we've won.

But they only won once, and it was when we were poorly prepared. You will only remember that one time, because it was natural for us to win against them. "

Fernandez is a very high-spirited player. He played for the Trail Blazers for one season and was already part of the team's rotation. As a result, he felt that he did not receive enough attention and chose to leave the next year.

When faced with reporters' questions, his answers were quite straightforward and confident.

"But they're different than they've ever been. They beat the U.S. team and you have key players who aren't here. Do you still think the team can win?"

the reporter asked.

"Of course, Mark and Ibaka are not here, but Mirotic is here, Paul is here, and besides that, Llull has grown and Rodriguez played at his peak last season.

We are still the Spanish team, and our goal has never changed, to defeat the United States team and win the Olympic gold medal. "

Unlike Gasol four years ago, Fernandez showed not contempt but confidence.

He confidently believes that the Spanish team is here to win the gold medal with the United States, and before that they will not lose to any team.

"This is a knockout, man."

At the end of the interview, Fernandez said to reporters with a smile.

The implication of his words is obvious. Whether it is them four years ago or the US team, losing the group stage does not mean anything. After all, it is only the group stage.

And now they are playing in the knockout rounds.

Just like the regular season and playoffs of the NBA, the playoffs are the real battles.

And when they started playing with all their strength, they were completely worthy of any opponent, including the Chinese team and the American team.

This Dream Twelve team was defeated by the Chinese team in the group stage, which is considered the worst in history. This is also their best chance to win the championship!

Two days passed very quickly. On August 20, only two days before the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games, the men's basketball semifinals officially kicked off.

The game between the United States and Australia will start at 3 pm that day.

Because the Olympic Games are coming to an end, many Olympic stars have come to the sidelines to watch the game.

Members of the Chinese and Spanish teams also appeared on the sidelines.

However, the process and results of this game were very different from what the outside world predicted.

Australia did not continue its strong pretense in previous games and did not cause too much trouble for the American team throughout the game.

The defense they relied on disappeared under the crazy offensive of the US team.

The final score between the two sides was fixed at 66 to 99.

Team USA easily advanced to the finals.

This seems to support what Fernandez said, the knockout rounds and the group stage are really not the same competition.

The first semi-final was completely one-sided, and the fans were completely unenjoyed.

As a result, in the evening, the attendance rate of the arena was higher than in the afternoon, and more Olympic stars were present.

The game was about to start, and Tang Tian also poured strong chicken soup into the locker room for the players.

"Believe me, I have played this kind of game many times in the NCAA before. It is no different from previous games. Relax your muscles and make the shots that should be scored, and we will win.

Even if you don't make the shot, don't be nervous. With me here, we will definitely win the medal. "

It will be very difficult to face the Spanish team, and the Chinese team members will inevitably be a little nervous.

But Tang Tian's calmness made them relax a lot. Just like Tang Tian said, with him here, the Chinese team can win!

The game will start soon, and players from both teams enter the gym one after another to warm up.

The atmosphere at the scene was extremely intense, which made the members of both teams instinctively excited.

Tang Tian also saw Parker and Ginobili in the audience.

Both of their Olympic journeys have ended, but they will stay until the end of the Olympic Games. Naturally, they will not miss Tang Tian's competition.

While watching, Tang Tian discovered two acquaintances, Moore and Valentina Vignelli.

Vigelina was also looking at Tang Tian, ​​and when their eyes met, she reached out and blew him a kiss.

Tang Tian's body felt inexplicably hot.

The confrontation in the toilet came to mind. The level of stimulation in a single round was definitely S-level.

Although he had no intention of doing it again, it still made his hormones and adrenaline surge.

After the entrance ceremony, the starting players of both teams appeared one after another.

The Chinese team maintained the starting lineup from the previous game.

On the Spanish team, Rubio and Navarro are on the outside, Fernandez and Mirotic are on the striker, and Pau Gasol is at the center.

The paper strength of a single round is indeed what Fernandez said. Even if Ibaka and Gasol are not here, the Spanish team is still very strong.

There were still more than half Chinese fans at the scene.

In their cheers, Yi Jianlian beat Gasol in the jump, officially opening the game.

The Chinese team's playing style is no different from the past. Tang Tian breaks through with the ball as soon as he comes up.

The Spanish team's strategy is to double-team with three people.

This is also to be expected.

Tang Tian's performance is very stable, but the Chinese team's outside shooters are not necessarily so.

This approach is also to test the Chinese team's outside touch in the opening game.

If they are accurate, then be prepared for a tough battle. If they are not, the outcome has been decided in advance.

The Spanish team prepared well before the game.

But what happened in the next second caught them off guard.

Tang Tian did not choose to pass the ball when faced with a three-person double team. Instead, after breaking through to the right, he turned and leaned back toward the baseline during the double team!

Two people count as vacancies, three people count as opportunities!

Tang Tian was possessed by Mamba as soon as the game started!

The ball passed between Mirotic's fingers.

"Uh-huh!"

Tang Tian threw the ball in during the three-man double team!

"Michael, Michael..."

The fans at the scene cheered and the commentator shook his head as he spoke.

Mirotic hit Kolanbek with a back in the low post and had a good chance to turn around for a layup, but Yi Jianlian quickly helped to defend the ball.

The Chinese team advanced to the frontcourt, Tang Tian continued to break through with the ball, and the Spanish team also continued to double-team with three people.

Tang Tian's unconventional choice will not change their defensive strategy.

But something they didn't expect happened again. One of Tang Tian's three-man double-team passed the ball and rushed into the inside again.

Gasol came out to help defend, but he didn't choose to pass the ball. Instead, he accelerated the confrontation with Gasol and then took action.

"beep!"

"Uh-huh!"

The ball was scored at the buzzer, and Tang Tian scored 2+1!

And after scoring, Tang Tian waved and roared.

This is the first time he has done such an action in this year's Olympics, and he looks a little horny!
