The Golden Invincible of Basketball

Vol 4 Chapter 1413: Embark on the Tokyo Olympics

With a 15-man roster, Du Dai's core, plus three heads of Hollodi, and a group of good-quality role players, the Pelicans have maintained their championship strength.

As for whether it can win the championship in the end, it depends on the performance and luck of next season.

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

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

Restoring body shape and finding the state of the game is what he has been doing.

Less than one month before the start of the Olympic Games, the national team training of all countries has started, and the warm-up game has also started.

On the Chinese men's basketball side, Zhou Qi, Yi Jianlian, Ding Yanyuhang and Abu have all returned to China after the season.

Tang Tian is also preparing to return to China.

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

He is ready to abandon this summer's league and return with him.

Lin Yi and Tang Tian are not players in the system. Whether to play the national team or not depends on personal will.

Especially this is the first year of his career, the Summer League is more important.

"It doesn't matter if you fight."

But Lin Yi laughed when he saw what Tang Tian said.

He almost forgot that Lin Yi was also open like him. Although he was just getting started, it didn't matter if the summer league games were really played.

When they got to the national team, the national team was playing a warm-up match with Lithuania.

According to the rules, there are a total of 12 teams in the Olympic Games, which are the host Japan team, the seven teams with the best results from the seven continents produced by the World Cup, and the four teams previously selected through the Olympic drop-off.

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

After that, the four teams generated through the Olympic defeat were Serbia, Slovenia, Lithuania and Greece.

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

This also makes the four teams that missed the promotion from Europe.

Counting the previous Spain and France, this Olympic Games has a total of 6 European teams, reaching half of the participating teams.

This result is also in line with the purpose of fiba reform. Instead of involving all continents as in the past, it selected the 12 strongest teams.

On this basis, this year's Olympic system has also undergone very significant changes.

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 according to the way A1 plays B4.

But this year, the 12 teams will be divided into three groups, the top two of each group will advance to the quarterfinals, and the remaining two places will take the third place of the best two teams.

This system is somewhat similar to the 100m preliminaries. It can avoid teams that are not in the top eight because they are assigned to the death group, and better ensure fairness.

And after entering the quarter-finals, they will no longer play against the group rankings as before, but will use a lottery.

The first team of 3 teams and the second best team of the previous stage (1 team) will be divided into a half zone (D zone), the other 2 teams of the second team and the 2 teams The three teams will be divided into the other half (E).

Then play the quarterfinals in the order D1 vs. E1.

Everything is as fair as possible.

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

Fiba also announced the grouping of 12 teams in the group stage.

Group A: China, Spain, Australia, France

Group B: USA, Cameroon, Serbia, Lithuania

Group C: Japan, Argentina, Slovenia, Greece

The way of grouping is also decided by drawing lots like the previous World Cup. Except that China, the United States and Japan are seed teams, the other three teams in Group C are obviously weaker than the other groups.

This result is intriguing, but it is not too surprising, it is more like a routine for the host of the Olympic Games.

However, the Chinese team is a little bit targeted. The remaining two teams in the World Cup Finals are here, and the French team is also a direct Olympic team.

When the men's basketball team didn't rise before, they always described their group as the death group. This time, the Tokyo battle was the death group of the eight children.

Of course, the organizer Japan's grouping of the Chinese team in this way also "respects" the Chinese team. After all, the Chinese team is now the Olympic and World Cup double champion.

Without the top 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 from the bottom to the top of the pyramid. Now these players still rely more on the four major NBA players.

The fans also know this and don't care too much about the outcome of the game.

After Tang Tian arrived at the team, they immediately practiced together.

Tang Tian, ​​Yi Jianlian, Ding Yanyuhang and Abu are all veteran players, and they integrate quickly, but Zhou Qi, who did not play last season, and newcomer Lin Yi, all need time to run in.

The Chinese team in the World Cup last year was called the strongest Chinese men's basketball team, but this year they joined Zhou Qi and Lin Yi's men's basketball team, 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 running in the game.

It was also during this period that the Road to Glory was announced and officially released in theaters across the country.

After the movie was released, it suddenly detonated the domestic movie market.

As the first basketball sports movie in China, it has attracted the attention of a large number of fans.

And because of the quality of the movie itself, word-of-mouth is rapidly fermenting.

Just like the popular movie "War Wolf", it doesn't matter if you are not a military fan / basketball fan, but the wife / husband, parents / children of the military fan / basketball fan are all pouring into the theater like a swarm.

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

"I still enjoy playing at my own ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ This real lore is more exciting than the lore of Monihei."

"A great movie that absolutely crosses history. It's not only the subject matter, but also the quality."

"Be prepared to do two brushes and three brushes. Such a movie definitely deserves a higher box office."

"I don't watch basketball, but the rhythm of the whole story is so interspersed. In the end, I felt passionate in the United States."

"When can I make a Rio movie, I can't wait any longer!"

"Yeah, the Olympic Games is coming soon. If you can see the Rio Olympics movies, don't use anything else, the box office will definitely give them!"

...

Movie topics spread rapidly on Weibo and forums, and word of mouth continued to ferment.

At the start of the Olympic Games, this pair of men's basketball players was a great booster, and at the same time made fans look forward to the performance of the men's basketball team in the Olympics.
