With a 15-man roster, Du Dai's core, plus the three-in-command Holiday, and a number of good-quality role players, the Pelicans maintained their championship strength.

As for whether you can succeed in the championship in the end, it depends on your performance and luck next season.

Tang Tian is not a player, just like last season, that is not something he can control.

After solving the team's roster, his focus also shifted from the Pelicans to the national team.

Restore your body shape and find the game state, which is what he has been doing.

With less than the last month left before the start of the Olympics, national team training camps in various countries have begun and warm-up matches have also started.

On the Chinese men's basketball team, Zhou Qi, Yi Jianlian, Ding Yanyuhang and Abdu, who have ended the season one after another, have all returned to China.

Tang Tian followed closely and prepared to return to China.

Just as he was about to leave, he received a call from Lin Yi.

He is ready to give up this year's summer league and return home with him.

Lin Yi, like Tang Tian, ​​is not a player within the system. Whether to play the national team or not depends entirely on personal wishes.

Especially this is the first year of his career, and the summer league is more important.

“It doesn’t matter whether you fight or not.”

However, Lin Yi couldn't help laughing when he saw Tang Tianshi's words.

He almost forgot that Lin Yi was cheating like him. Although he was just starting out, it doesn't matter whether he played at the level of the summer league or not.

When they arrived at the national team, the national team was playing a warm-up match with the Lithuanian team.

According to the rules, there are 12 teams in the Olympics, namely the host Japan team, the seven teams with the best results in the seven continents produced by the World Cup, and the four teams selected through the Olympic sanctions.

The best teams on the seven continents were confirmed a year ago, namely Spain and France in Europe, China in Asia, Australia in Australia, the United States in North America, Argentina in South America and Cameroon in Africa.

The four teams that were later produced through the Olympic undraft were Serbia, Slovenia, Lithuania and Greece.

It is worth mentioning that after the Canadian team lost the World Cup, most NBA players did not participate in the undraft.

This also made the four teams that qualify for the qualifying round all come from Europe.

Including Spain and France before, there were 6 European teams in this Olympics, reaching half of the participating teams.

This result is also in line with the purpose of the fiba reform. It is not to let all continents participate as before, but to select 12 strongest teams.

On this basis, this year's Olympic Games system has also undergone great changes from previous years.

Take the Rio Olympics as an example. The 12 teams are divided into two groups, and the top four of the two groups play the quarterfinals in the way a1 plays b4.

But this year, the 12 teams will be divided into 3 groups, with the top two in each group advancing to the quarterfinals, and the remaining two places will be ranked third in the two with the best results.

This competition system is a bit similar to the 100-meter preliminaries, which can avoid teams that miss the quarterfinals due to being assigned to the death group, and better ensure fairness.

Moreover, after entering the quarterfinals, they no longer compete according to group rankings as before, but instead draw lots.

The first place in the 3 groups and the second place in the group with the best results in the previous stage (1 team) will be divided into one and a half zone (district d), and the second place in the other two groups and a third place in the group will be divided into another half zone (district e).

Then the quarter-finals will be played in the order of d1 vs. e1.

Everything is to ensure the fairness of the game as much as possible.

According to the rules, teams in the same group will not meet again in the quarter-finals.

fiba has also previously announced the grouping situation of 12 teams in the group stage.

Group a: Chinese team, Spanish team, Australian team, French team

Group b: Team USA, Cameroon, Serbia, Lithuania

Group C: Japan, Argentina, Slovenia, Greece

The grouping method is also the same as before the World Cup. Except for China, the United States and Japan, the other three teams in Group C are obviously weaker than other groups.

This result is intriguing, but it is not too strange, it is more like the routine of the hosts of the Olympics.

However, the Chinese team is obviously targeted. The remaining two teams in the World Cup semi-finals are there, and the French team is also a team that leads directly to the Olympics.

In the past, when the men's basketball team was not rising, they always called their group the death group. This time, the Tokyo battle was a serious group the death group.

Of course, the organizer Japan is also "respect" the Chinese team in this way. After all, the Chinese team is now the double champion of the Olympics and the World Cup.

Without the four NBA players, the Chinese team did not beat Lithuania.

Although the Chinese men's basketball team has been very popular in recent years, it takes time to go from the bottom of the pyramid to the top. Now this group of players still rely more on the four major NBA players.

Fans also know this and don't care much about the outcome of the game.

After Tang Tian and the others arrived at the team, they immediately started training together.

Tang Tian, ​​Yi Jianlian, Ding Yanyuhang and Abdu are all old players and integrate quickly, but Zhou Qi, who did not play last season, and newcomer Lin Yi, all need time to get started.

Last year's World Cup Chinese team was called the strongest Chinese men's basketball team by fans, but this year, the men's basketball team that joined Zhou Qi and Lin Yi, and their strength was obviously stronger.

The men's basketball team is playing the final warm-up match with other teams, and the players are constantly working together during the game.

It was within this period of time that "The Road to Glory" was promoted and officially released in theaters nationwide.

After the movie was released, it immediately ignited the domestic film market.

As the first sports film with a basketball theme in China, it has attracted a lot of attention from fans.

Moreover, because the movie itself is of excellent quality, its reputation has rapidly fermented.

Just like the popular movie "Wolf Warrior", it doesn't matter if it's not a military fan/basketball fan, it's a military fan/basketball fan's wife/husband, parents/children, all rushed into the theater like a swarm.

200 million, 500 million, 1 billion, 2 billion... Movies are spreading rapidly in a blowout manner.

"It's still my own people who are happy to play. Compared to the ultimate kill of Monihe, this real ultimate kill is even more exciting."

"A great movie that is absolutely crossing history is not only about the subject matter, but also the quality is excellent."

"Prepare to make two or three shots, such a movie is definitely worth a higher box office."

"I don't watch basketball, but the whole story is so well interspersed. I feel excited when I hit the United States in the end."

"I can't wait to make a Rio movie when I'll be able to do it!"

"Yes, the Olympics are coming soon. If you can see the movies of the Rio Olympics, you will definitely get the box office!"

...

The topics of movies on Weibo and forums are spreading rapidly, and reputation continues to ferment.
