35. Contest
On August 5, the Chinese men's basketball team ushered in the fourth game of the Olympic group stage. Once again, when it was the Chinese men's basketball team's turn, the number of people in the basketball court began to show a geometric multiple and then climbed up.
Not only are there a large number of fans from both sides coming, but also media reporters from all over the world. More and more people have become curious about the Chinese team.
People want to know where the upper limit of this Chinese men's basketball team led by Wu Dawei is; whether it can be comparable to the Chinese men's basketball team led by Yao Ming.
This is the thoughts and doubts in the hearts of many Chinese fans, while foreigners want to see how far can such a Chinese men's basketball team led by Wu Dawei go in this Olympics?
However, there are many foreign media coming to the stadium tonight, so naturally there will never be a lack of Espanyol who has been criticizing and mocking Wu Dawei and the Chinese team before.
It seems that since they became enemies with Wu Dawei, the Chinese men's basketball game has become one of the key points of attention in recent times...
Of course, the Chinese fans are the ones who pay the most attention to this game. Although the Chinese team lost Yao Ming, the mainstay of the inside line, Wu Dawei's joining still makes Chinese fans look forward to this!
Although the Chinese men's basketball team performed poorly in the first two games of the group stage, after defeating the Australian men's basketball team, everyone rekindled their confidence in this.
Although everyone knows that the opponent the Chinese men's basketball team is facing today is a stronger team, many Chinese fans still have hope for it.
Since the Chinese men's basketball team can defeat the Australian men's basketball team in the last game, it is not completely impossible to continue to defeat the Brazil team in this game.
This is why Chinese fans are looking forward to this game. Nike said that everything is possible...
For the Chinese men's basketball team, the same is true now. If they want to win the game, they cannot just look at the strength comparison of both sides. Otherwise, when they see any team, they will feel that the opponent's strength is much stronger than themselves.
We have to really play to everyone before we can know what the result is. It is like before the game against Australia begins. Not many people are willing to believe that the Chinese team will win, but the final result is that the Chinese team is the winner.
So before the start of this game, although it was believed that the Chinese team won the victory was a few people, and more people believed that the Brazilian men's basketball team would win. They had won three consecutive games in the previous three games, but no one dared to make sure that it was. The Brazilian team would definitely win the game in this game.
The match was held at 7 pm local time in London. This is the second time that the Chinese men's basketball team played in the evening at this Olympics. Most of the time, the group matches were held during the day.
Therefore, this game can also be said to be more valued, not only by fans, but also by broadcasters.
Before the game started, Wu Dawei came to the stadium with his teammates, then changed his clothes, and ran into the stadium in a row. He went to the basketball court to prepare for warm-up before the game started.
At the same time, on the other hand, the Brazilian team came to the basketball court relatively early. Although in the eyes of most people, they are the popular teams to win. However, it is obvious that the Brazilian team, as they said, does not mean to despise the Chinese men's basketball team at all.
Although the head coach of the Brazilian men's basketball team, Ruben Maniano, is determined to win this game, after all, they easily won the previous three games. Naturally, there is no reason to give up in this game; however, he is still very cautious. Although the Brazilian team is stronger than the Australian team, before the game begins, Ruben Maniano still has a headache that seems to be unsolvable.
Like the problems that Australian men's basketball coach Ian Steck encountered in the game, the only problem that Ruben Maniano had not calculated before the start of this game was how to limit Wu Dawei's performance in the game.
Although the Brazilian team has Andre Valejo, Leonard Barbosa, Diego Split and even Nene Hilario who was injured in the last game, it is difficult for them to find someone on the front line who can compete with Wu Dawei or even slightly restrict him.
Moreover, after discussing with the team's power forward Valezzo, the conclusion he got was also very bad. Valezzo believes that no one in the team can rely on one person's defense to stop Wu Dawei. If you want to stop Wu Dawei from scoring, Valezzo believes that the best way to attack Wu Dawei is to attack Wu Dawei.
However, Maniano has watched the video of the last game countless times. Wu Dawei's passing ability was fully displayed in that game, even more impressive than his performance in scoring and defense.
So when Valejo said that pincer attack was the best way, Ruben Maniano was not very sure. He did not want Wu Dawei to play terrifying basketball, but he still had no idea about finding a way to completely curb this all-round star.
Maniano, standing off the court, looked at Wu Dawei who was training with his teammates on the other side of the court, and the God of Mir thought hard. Wu Dawei, who was conducting shooting training on the basketball court, had no idea how to deal with him at all, but he soon heard a familiar voice on the basketball court. Wu Dawei turned his head and found that Valejo was standing near the center line and waved to him.
So Wu Dawei walked over and greeted his teammates with a smile.
"Where are you going to play today? I heard that the head coach of your team is going to adjust the lineup?" As soon as we met, Valejo couldn't wait to ask Wu Dawei.
Looking at the old friend's expression, Wu Dawei raised his eyebrows and said, "You're done, I'm going to play power forward! You should know the power of my butt, right?"
After saying that, Wu Dawei patted his butt, but he didn't expect that Valejo didn't seem to feel afraid of it at all. He also raised his eyebrows and said with a laugh: "Is that right? Then I really want to try it, I just saved even soap..."
"Your sister!"
Although the battle is imminent, Wu Dawei and Andre Varécho's conversation on the center line did not seem to be at all tense.
The two of them have been teammates together for two years, so their relationship is naturally quite unusual. For this game, although the two are hostile, they are still as close as friends outside the court.
However, compared with the main players of both sides, the fans of both sides are completely opposite. There are quite a lot of fans who come to support the Brazilian team on site in this game, but the more fans are still Chinese fans.
In almost every game, enthusiastic Chinese fans can always make the scene seem to be the home court of China. For the Chinese men's basketball team, it is of course a good news.
The game will officially start at 7 pm. After the warm-up between the two sides did not hold a grand opening ceremony like the NBA League. Instead, after DJ introduced the players and head coaches of both sides on the spot, the game will officially begin.
At 7 pm, the competition officially began.
In terms of lineup, although there were some rumors before the game, the Brazilian team lost Nene Hillaryo in this game, so head coach Deng Huade did not want to adjust the lineup.
Wang Zhizhi and Yi Jianlian are still partnering with the inside, the small forward is Wu Dawei, and the two defenders are Sun Yue and Liu Wei; while on the Brazilian team, the two inside are Andre Valejo and Diego Split, the small forward is Guyrheme Giovani, and the two defenders are Marcelo Heransta and Leonard Barbosa!
One of the reasons why Brazil is highly respected at this Olympics is that it is a champion team of the Americas Championship. They easily won the Copa America championship without the lineup of Nene and Valaijo, which makes people so impressed!
Moreover, before coming to London, they naturalized an American player, Larry Taylor, which made them even more powerful.
Compared with the Brazilian men's basketball team, which has excellent conditions in all aspects, there is no doubt that the only reason why the Chinese men's basketball team has attracted people's attention is the existence of Wu Dawei.
This game is not so much a match between the Chinese men's basketball team and the Brazilian men's basketball team, but rather a contest between Wu Dawei and Brazil...
Although this is a bit unfair to other players of the Chinese men's basketball team, the fact is indeed the case. Wu Dawei's performance is the barometer of the Chinese men's basketball team on the basketball court. As long as he performs well, just like the last game with the Australian men's basketball team, then the Chinese men's basketball team can win the game with a clear victory!
If Wu Dawei's performance is not enough to dominate the field, then the Chinese men's basketball team will basically be equivalent to losing this game. Otherwise, how could a team that won one win and nine losses in the warm-up match before the Olympics be so noticeable?
And everyone knows why the Chinese men's basketball team was able to defeat the Australians in the last game. Wu Dawei was treated as a double or even a three-person double-team for the Australians in the whole game, which created countless opportunities for other Chinese players to shoot in the open.
If Wu Dawei was not there, would these gaps appear? (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
