Chapter 1482 Warm-up match, beat Iran

This is of course a good thing.

The stronger Meng Yun and Xiang Long are, the stronger the national team is, and the stronger the national team, the better the ranking in the Olympics.

Just looking at the other players, Director Gong sighed a little: "I'd better go back and study two sets of tactics around Meng Yun and Xiang Long. Hey, I can only rely on them."

Mentioning this, Yao Ming can only smile wryly. Compared with Meng Yun and Xiang Long, other players are too far behind. I am afraid that they will not be able to make much contribution on a stage like the Olympics.

The group stage might be okay, but after the knockout stage, the opponents are getting stronger and stronger, and the other players are not enough to watch.

So Director Gong didn't expect too much from them, it still depends on Meng Yun and Xiang Long.

Meng Yun spent the next half month training in the team, rehearsing the lineup, and cultivating a tacit understanding. After all, they haven't played together for a year.

The effect of the training is good. Apart from Meng Yun and Xiang Long, Director Gong is pleased with Ding Yuhang's state. Before Ding Yuhang was injured and rested for a long time, he missed last year's Basketball World Cup. He also did not play in the CBA this season. , although he was finally included in the list of 12 people, Director Gong is still a little worried about Ding Yuhang's status.

But now it seems that the situation is not bad. Although Ding Yuhang still hasn't recovered to his peak state, at least he has recovered [-]%, which is enough.

Because of Meng Yun, Xiang Long, and Yi Jianlian, the Chinese men's basketball team has a good configuration on the outside and inside, but it is not enough on the front line.

Ding Yuhang is one of the best players in the domestic small forward position, and his recovery is of great significance to the team.

On the other hand, the forward Zhou Peng, who is back from injury, is not in an optimistic state, but fortunately, his style and role are different from Ding Yuhang's, and the impact is not great.

After half a month of training, the day of the Olympic Games is getting closer.

At this time, it is obviously not enough to just train behind closed doors. There must be actual combat and gradually enter the state of competition.

Therefore, under relevant arrangements, the Chinese men's basketball team ushered in the first warm-up match against the Iranian team.

In this Olympic Games, the Chinese team was divided into Group B, while the Iranian team was divided into Group C. The two sides are not in the same group, and it is not bad to be a warm-up opponent.

The rules of the Olympic Games are somewhat different from the Basketball World Cup. In the past, the men’s basketball team in the Olympic Games divided 12 teams from different regions such as Asia, America, Africa, and Europe into two groups. The four teams qualify for the group stage and enter the quarterfinals, and then proceed to single elimination, 8 into 4,4, 2 into [-], and finally determine the champion.

However, the competition system has changed now. The 12 teams are divided into 3 groups with 4 teams in each group. It is also a single round-robin group competition. In the end, the top two teams in the group will get the right to qualify and enter the quarterfinals.

In this way, there are six teams that directly enter the quarter-finals, and the remaining two quarter-finals will be won by the two best performing teams among the teams that did not get the right to qualify in the group stage, and then these eight teams will compete again. Single elimination matches until the champion is determined.

The result of the group draw is that the United States, Nigeria, France, and Serbia are the four teams in Group A; Group B is China, Greece, Japan, and Canada; and the four teams in Group C are Spain, Argentina, the Czech Republic, and Iran.

Generally speaking, the warm-up match will not look for your opponent in the group stage, because in that case the warm-up match may not be as simple as a warm-up, and the two sides may play seriously, but the Olympics are not here yet, and injuries must be avoided, so this is obviously unnecessary.

Therefore, the warm-up match generally does not look for opponents in the group stage, so the first opponent of the Chinese team in this warm-up match is Iran in Group C.

This game was held in S City, China. Although it was just a warm-up match, it still attracted the attention of many people. There were many fans in the arena.

Players from both sides have already arrived. The atmosphere of the Iranian team is obviously a bit serious. They are still under a lot of pressure against the Chinese team. Although this is only a warm-up match, the warm-up match is also meaningful. Otherwise, it is better not to play. Varsity is a problem.

The strength of the Iranian team is not very strong, and there is a clear gap compared with the Chinese team, so facing the Chinese team, they unnaturally start to get nervous.

Meng Yun was very friendly, hugging and smiling with the Iranian players one by one, but he was not polite when the game officially started.

The starting lineup sent by Director Gong is Xiang Long, Yi Jianlian, Zhai Xiaochuan, Fang Shuo, and Meng Yun.

According to the instructions of Director Gong, Meng Yun broke through repeatedly at the beginning of the game, and then distributed the ball to the outside. Xiang Long, Yi Jianlian, Fang Shuo, and Zhai Xiaochuan were all able to shoot three-pointers. Outside the three-point line, shoot a three-pointer after receiving a pass from Meng Yun.

However, the first two shots were missed. Xiang Long made one shot, Fang Shuo made another shot, and they both hit iron.

"Is this an attempt to defeat the enemy with three points?"

"Should want to play from the outside, but our inside has the advantage, why not play from the inside?"

In the auditorium, some fans were discussing and felt confused.

The head coach of the Iranian team looked at Guidance Gong and couldn't help snorting coldly. He could clearly see the intention of the Chinese men's basketball team, which was to shoot three-pointers, but how could three-pointers be so easy to shoot?
At this moment, the Chinese team made the same three-point shot for the third time. The head coach of the Iranian team had two more sneering eyes. They missed three three-pointers in a row. Would it be great to have a little better grades in two years?

At this moment, Meng Yun and Xiang Long made a pick-and-roll, and then passed the ball back to Xiang Long. Xiang Long did not take the ball immediately, but made a tentative step. The defender thought that the Chinese team had three consecutive three-pointers Missing the shot, Xiang Long wanted to break through this time, so he took a step back subconsciously.

At this moment, Xiang Long retracted his foot and made another three-pointer.

Swish!
With a soft bang, the ball went in.

"nice shot."

"At last."

"Haha, it's open, the three-pointer is open."

The Chinese fans in the auditorium applauded again and again.

The head coach of the Iranian team sank in his heart, and his face was a little dignified, but it was only a three-pointer, which was nothing.

But soon the head coach of the Iranian team didn't think so.

After Xiang Long made a three-pointer, he took the lead in opening this point, and then Meng Yun passed him another pass. This time the chance was better, and Xiang Long adjusted for the open opportunity and made another hit.Then Meng Yun himself came one, also hit.

The two started, and Fang Shuo and Yi Jianlian also hit three-pointers one after another, which made the Iranian team a little bit at a loss.
