And as Tang Tian said, under this tactical system, the young Guo Ailun performed very well.

He could even squeeze Liu Wei out of the way into the rotation.

Plus, Wang Shipeng, Zhu Fangyu, and Zhang Zhaoxu.

This entire rotation lineup is available.

Wang Zhizhi and Liu Wei gradually fell out of the rotation lineup.

Their emotions didn't seem very high, but as Tang Tian said, they didn't say anything.

They are all old people from the national team. Although they are unhappy, they know very well that such changes are good for the national team.

Time flies, and half a month has passed in a blink of an eye. The opening ceremony of the Olympic Games was held in London, and teams from various countries have appeared one after another.

This time, Yi Jianlian is the flagship of the Chinese team.

The men's basketball team has always had a high status in the national team, which also shows that the country attaches great importance to this area.

Although the opening ceremony of the London Olympics is a little worse than that of Beijing, it is also exciting enough.

The opening ceremony triggered a wave of discussion among domestic fans, because the flag bearer Yi Jianlian, the men's basketball team and the Spanish team match also became the focus of discussion.

"Alian is so handsome! Does anyone know the Football Emperor analyze it? Can you kill Spain this time?"

"It's hard, it's hard, it's very difficult. You know, we didn't do it when Yao Yao was there in 2008."

"Hey, when it comes to 2008, it's really heartbreaking. Just one goal is missing, and that strongest men's basketball team has created history."

"You can even say that you play roughly a few more minutes in that game, give Yao Yao two more minutes to rest, and we will win."

"And we will be more proactive in the subsequent games after winning Spain, and the strongest men's basketball team may not necessarily stop at the quarterfinals."

"Stop talking, I feel heartbroken if I say too much!"

"The men's basketball team in 2008 was really the strongest men's basketball team. I think it was the best game played in the history of men's basketball team."

“No dispute!”

"Indeed, but many of you may not know that there was a reason why the men's basketball team was so excited about playing Spain. When Spain was shooting a promotional video, it surrounded a stadium with dragon patterns on the floor and made a grimace with both hands pointing at the eyes and squinting eyes. It was an act of insulting China."

"Yes, as an old fan, I have a deep impression of this. The official statement at that time was a misunderstanding, and some Spanish players apologized, but that was nonsense. That action was a standard insulting China action, mocking us Chinese for being small-eyed."

"Is there such a thing? This is the first time I have heard it, so I really want to kill them!"

"So you know why we can play with Spain until the end, why Yao Ming is so upset after losing."

"I'm really angry! I want to do it but I can't do it!"

"Actually, we have a chance. Gasol is older and Navarro is older."

"Yes, and this men's basketball team is the most iron-blooded team I have ever seen. With Tang Tian, ​​I really don't think we have no chance at all."

"Come on, men's basketball team, fuck these guys to death and make them pay the price!"

...

It was the men's basketball team's debut against Spain, and because the opponent is a strong Spain, the game has attracted a lot of attention in China.

All basketball competitions were placed in the newly built basketball hall in the London Olympic Basketball Hall.

This basketball stadium can accommodate up to 12,000 people to watch the game at the same time, making it one of the largest stadiums in the UK.

However, compared with Wukesong Arena in Beijing, this place seems much weaker.

The stadium uses environmentally friendly materials (more money-saving), does not have large LED screens, and the on-site air conditioning and heating facilities are also average.

And after the game, the stadium will be demolished immediately.

July 29th is the opening match, and two games were arranged in total, both at night in local time.

One is China vs Spain, the other is the United States vs France.

According to the arrangements of the organizing committee, each team has about 2 hours of adaptation time on the game day.

Among the four teams that played on the first day, three of them were all favorites to win the championship, and there were quite a few reporters coming this day.

The training of the French and American teams was arranged in the morning, and the Spanish and Chinese teams were arranged in the afternoon.

This time, Spain did not come except Rubio, and the main rotation in 2008 came. In order to deal with the United States, they also planned Ibaka of the Thunder.

Gasol Gaybaka, and Fernandez and Navarro on the back line, plus Calderon and Rodriguez.

Although Gasol and Navarro have grown older, the overall strength of this Spanish team is even stronger than in 2008.

The Spanish team's training also attracted a lot of reporters to watch.

They are considered the team that is most likely to beat the American Dream Team.

Gasol Jr. was interviewed by local media on the sidelines.

"Yes, of course, we can't beat Team USA, so why are we here?"

When asked if he was confident of defeating Team USA, Gasol Jr. was also full of enthusiasm.

This is similar to Paul's sentence in later generations, "If it weren't for defeating the warriors, then what are we doing?"

"What do you think of the opponent of the Chinese team tonight?" The reporter naturally asked about the game tonight.

"Yes, they are a very good team. They caused us a lot of trouble in 2008. Yao is a great player."

Gasol's mouth is quite official.

"But now Yao retires." The reporter reminded.

After the reporter finished speaking, Gasol laughed unconsciously.

"Yes, so this is our opening game, that's all, we'll look for form in the game, warm up the next game, and we'll completely adjust the form before the quarter-elimination round comes."

"So this will be a warm-up match?" the reporter asked.

"No, I didn't mean that, but our main goal this time is Team USA, we came here to defeat them."

...

When Gasol was interviewed, the Chinese team members were already coming to the stadium to prepare for new training.

Deng Huade seemed very angry when he heard this. If there weren't so many reporters, he would probably have to go up and cause trouble directly.

Yi Jianlian frowned slightly when he heard this. The contempt in Gasol's words was very strong.

Tang Tian was not angry after hearing this, but instead thought it was good news.

In basketball games, the weak defeats the strong. In addition to one's own performance, the opponent's performance is also very important.

The Spanish team is despised by the Chinese team, and they will definitely play casually on the court, at least they will not make all their efforts at the beginning.

In that case, it is actually giving the Chinese team a chance.

Although the probability of an upset basketball game is not as high as that of a football game, once the trend starts, the game time of such international basketball is short, so there is really a chance.
