Defenders: Curry, Harden, Lillard, Thompson, DeRozan

Front line: Durant, Leonard, George, Harrison Barnes

Inside: Drummond, Green Draymond, Myers Turner

The 12-man lineup is shining with stars, and it is more worth mentioning that this is George's other team again for the United States since the last time the national team was seriously injured.

"That was an accident and it won't happen again, I look forward to bringing back the world championship for Team USA."

George said this in an interview before his expedition.

This passage greatly boosted the morale of the American team and also made American fans excited.

George's appearance is not only a manifestation of the strength of the United States, but also a manifestation of the patriotic education they have always advocated.

It is no exaggeration to say that this year's American team may not be the strongest in history, but the people's attention and expectations for them are the best in history.

More than ever, they expect the national team to regain the world championship and recreate the glory of the Dream Team.

However, the expectations are far more than American fans. Judging from the rosters of various countries in the World Cup, every country is like this.

Although this is just a World Cup, its starlight level is not inferior to that of the Olympics.

Part of this is because the US team lost the 2016 Olympics, part of it is because Tang Tian’s retirement, part of it is because fiba advanced the World Cup to August.

Under the influence of many factors, this World Cup is much more popular than Spain's first.

On August 15, Beijing time, the Men's Basketball World Cup officially opened at the Water Cube Stadium.

Kung fu superstar Jackie Chan, world-class pianist Lang Lang, and a group of celebrities presented tribute to the opening ceremony.

Officials of fiba and representatives from various countries also attended the opening ceremony.

The Chairman also attended the opening ceremony, which marks the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. This Basketball World Cup is of great significance.

To put it bluntly, if the Chinese team can reproduce the glory of the Rio Olympics and win the Men's Basketball World Cup as the host, it will definitely be the best gift to the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China.

At the end of the opening ceremony, Yao Ming, chairman of the Basketball Association, made a appearance in the World Cup championship trophy.

His face was full of light.

In recent years, the Chinese men's basketball team has been relaxing the foreign aid system from drafts to basketball schools, and Tang Tian's existence has inspired more people to join basketball.

China's basketball population is showing a blowout.

It is no exaggeration to say that if the men's basketball team can win the World Cup at home this time, the influence of basketball in China will reach an unprecedented level.

A thriving scene.

After the opening ceremony, the game will start the next day.

The Chinese men's basketball team will also usher in the World Cup's first opponent, Argentina, on this day.

The situation of Argentina and Brazil is very similar. The former golden generation has retired one after another, and Ginobili has become the chairman of the Argentina Basketball Association.

The old and new alternate, and the young and old are not in line. In the eyes of most fans, this Argentine team and Brazil team are trained in this World Cup.

Fans are also full of expectations for the Chinese team to win the first World Cup victory.

The Chinese team's game was scheduled at night, and earlier, five games in other groups started in succession.

This also includes Poland and Nigeria, which are in Group A with the Chinese team, and the two teams are played in the afternoon.

Poland returned to the World Cup after 52 years. Although the stars are relatively weak, it ranks 18th in the ranking given by fiba.

Nigeria has several NBA players, ranking 11th.

In addition to the 8th Argentina team, the group where the Chinese team is located is not the upper signing group that many fans think.

In the afternoon game, the Chinese men's basketball coaching staff and players came to the sidelines to watch the game.

After the game started, the two teams quickly fell into a fierce battle.

Nigeria's players are significantly stronger, but their cooperation is poor.

This is also a characteristic of African basketball. Although their technology has improved, it will take time to improve the overall basketball level.

On the other hand, the European team showed their basketball style, and their tacit understanding on both offense and defense were excellent.

The team's number one star, Boniteka, also performed very well.

This shooting guard who was selected for the Nike World Basketball Summit with Guo Ailun in 2011 and led the Polish youth team to the finals at U17. Although he does not play for the NBA, he is one of the best defenders outside the NBA.

After the half, with the overall tactical qualities, the Polish team unexpectedly led the Nigerian team with a big score of 43 to 32.

Bonetka scored 15 points alone, and his shooting percentage was as high as 70%.

There are no weak teams in the World Cup, and there are even more weak teams in Europe.

The Chinese team will play Argentina tonight, and the next game will be against Poland in two days.

Watching this game, it is necessary to get this vaccination in advance.

"The next game will be easier."

Li Chunjiang turned to Tang Tian at this time and said.

What he said is not only about strength, but also about qualifying situation.

If Poland wins tonight, it is highly likely that it will qualify as long as it wins one of the Chinese team and Argentina teams.

Judging from the strength ranking, it is obviously a more suitable choice to compete in Argentina.

"Poland may not win."

Tang Tian shook his head.

Nigeria underestimated the opponent in the first half, and the head coach used 11 players to rotate, so the players' condition on the court was a problem.

However, this rotation is also beneficial, that is, the physical fitness will be very sufficient in the second half.

Black people have the strongest physical fitness among all people. As long as they use their physical strength to improve their defense strength, it is very terrifying.

On the other hand, although Polish team performed well, he basically didn't take much rest in the first half.

One goes up and the other goes down, as he said, Poland may not win.

Li Chunjiang smiled and said nothing.

Although Tang Tian is the first person in NBA history, he is not a coach after all, so he still doesn't understand the situation on the court.

After getting back from halftime, the two teams continued to play in the second half.

The Nigerian players' expressions in the second half were obviously more serious, and after returning to the court, they also significantly strengthened their defensive strength.

I have to say that people are also very talented in basketball. Amino's catch, Meitu's dunk, and Okoji's dunk 2+1.

Nigeria's performance is completely different from the first half.

The Polish team was obviously at a disadvantage in terms of talent and could not stand it.

In Li Chunjiang's surprised eyes, Nigeria caught up with the score little by little and finally overtook, and maintained its advantage until the end of the game.

In the end, Nigeria lost first and then won. After a great second half, he defeated Poland 72-65 and won his first World Cup victory.

After the game, Li Chunjiang couldn't help but give Tang Tian a thumbs up. Sure enough, the difference between CBA and NBA can be seen in the coach.

Tang Tian just smiled, but his cell phone rang.

After he picked it up, his face changed drastically. Before he could even call him, he hurriedly left the arena, leaving Li Chunjiang in a daze.
Chapter completed!
