Coach Yunus called Zhang Guan aside and asked, "Zhang Guan, do you think we can beat the US team?"

Zhang Guan shook his head without even thinking about it: "To be honest, it is almost impossible to beat the US team, unless a miracle happens."

"I think so too, so in the next game against the US team, I'm not going to send you out." Coach Jonas looked at Zhang Guan and found that Zhang Guan didn't respond, so he continued: "Are you Our secret weapon, other teams don’t know anything about you now, and I don’t want to expose you too early. We can’t win the game against the US team tonight, so I’m going to put you on the bench.”

"No problem. There is a saying in China that good steel must be used sharply. I also think that I should appear on the court at the most critical moment and give the opponent a fatal blow by surprise!" Zhang Guan said.

Coach Jonas nodded in satisfaction, and he continued: "I know you still have to participate in other sports, and time is very important to you. Tonight's game will not start until 22:15, which is already It's late, so if you want, you don't have to come to the game site, and you can rest at home. I have no objections, and I believe other players can understand you."

"I'd better go to the scene, after all, it's our first game in the Olympic Games, I have to come." Zhang Guan continued: "And I just don't have a game tomorrow, so I can rest all day."

The biggest gap between the Chinese men's basketball team and the U.S. men's basketball team lies in the backcourt. In terms of players' ability, according to the new rules, the Olympic Games canceled the so-called 5-8 qualifying competition, and directly ranked the final seats according to their group stage ranking, group stage record, and the order of all games. , which means that if the Chinese team wants to achieve good results, they must fight every game. In the face of the powerful American team, the Chinese team will not give up lightly. As the host of this Olympic Games, the Chinese men How will the basketball team perform in the first game?

The U.S. team first got the ball in the jump ball and attacked to the frontcourt. Anthony made a mistake. During the counterattack of the Chinese team, Dayao scored a three-pointer from the baseline.

Next, on the US team, Anthony missed a three-pointer. I remember stepping on the line and James missed a jumper. On the national team, Liu Wei was blocked by the memory. Sun Yue and Liu Wei also made a mistake in a cooperation. Then Liu Wei He was intercepted by Kidd again. It can be said that the two sides have not played very smoothly in the past few rounds, and there have been many mistakes.

Obviously, the US has also reached There is a consensus that the first game should give the host some face.

In the third quarter, the US team’s shooting percentage dropped, but the fierce defense forced the Chinese team to make several mistakes. At the end of the third quarter, the score was stretched to 74 to 48. Dayao was also in this quarter. Once injured and left.
