The Way of the Center

The next day, almost all the newspapers in mainland China were dominated by the Olympic Games, and the one with the highest exposure rate was naturally An Jie who was the flag bearer.

In the past, An Jie was just a Chinese who played basketball very well. However, after the opening ceremony, An Jie became a representative of the new stars of Chinese sports. Immediately, Anjie's status in the Chinese sports world also improved a lot. And more Chinese people also realized this young guy who only appeared in the American basketball arena.

On the night after the opening ceremony, An Jie was so excited that he could barely sleep. If Wang Zhizhi's calm and deep sleep hadn't affected him, An Jie might have been excited all night.

The next day, most of the young players in their first Olympics came to the training ground with dark circles under their eyes. However, Deng Huade's serious attitude made several young players headed by An Jie put away their hippie smiles just now.

"It's great. It seems that there are still a few people in the team who are full of energy, no, they have excess energy! Now, everyone go to the bottom line and stand up for me. Fifteen sets of back and forth, ready to start!" Deng Huade whistled , even a big nba player like Anjie has to be obedient, let alone others.

Deng Huade is not excited about the opening ceremony or the sense of national honor at all. He's here to win, and he's working towards that.

An Jie thought that Deng Huade would let the team take a day off today, but judging from the current situation, Deng Huade did not intend to give the Chinese men's basketball team any respite.

Among all the teams participating in the Olympic Games, the Chinese team is definitely the one that ranks in the third tier. For the current Chinese team, all opponents are powerful enemies, so it is impossible for Deng Huade to let the Chinese men's basketball team relax their vigilance.

This trick really worked. When An Jie ran a few back and forth under Deng Huade's strict urging, his relaxed heart lifted instantly. What awaits them tomorrow is a big battle, and the match hasn't started yet, so there's no reason to relax in advance!

An Jie became more and more devoted and serious in training. And all of this will directly affect Anjie's game state tomorrow.

Relax before the game starts,

Deng Huade does not allow such a thing to happen, but everyone in the Spanish team really did this. As one of the few teams in this Olympic Games that can compete with the dream team, even if the Chinese team has An Jie, a super center, it can't change the fact that the Chinese team is a weak team. Therefore, the Spanish team is unable to get nervous.

"Tomorrow's game should be warmed up for us. Anna is not easy to deal with. He is the perfect opponent for us to start with." Marc Gasol talked to his brother while shooting the ball leisurely . Anjie is indeed very powerful, and the existence of Anjie seems to be the only meaning and highlight of the match between Spain and China.

"Don't be too careless Mark, don't be too careless." Pau Gasol has not forgotten how Angie, who was still in the Thunder team, managed him and Bynum to be submissive. With An Jie in the Chinese team, anything can happen to the Chinese team!

"It's okay, it's not good for you to be overly nervous. Hey, let's go to the swimming competition after training." Mark smiled and blinked at his brother. His mood was just like most of the Spanish team. The epitome of the player's heart. Before the light game started, the Spanish team seemed to think they had won.

...................................

Compared with the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, the scene of the Olympic basketball game is much deserted. What's more, the match between Spain and China seemed so "no suspense".

Before the start of the game, the Spanish team just warmed up on the court with a pretentious shot. The Chinese team, under the leadership of Wang Zhizhi, is doing systematic ball feel training.

"The Chinese just like to play tricks on the surface." Marc Gasol said to himself disdainfully. In his opinion, what the Chinese team did was just for show. In a real fight, where would they be Spain's opponents.

It was under such a mentality of underestimating the enemy that the players of the Spanish team started the first game of their Olympic journey. However, as soon as the first ball was opened, Marc Gasol paid for his carelessness.

"Yi Jianlian is holding the ball with his back to the basket! Is he planning to hit Marc Gasol with his back? Anjie actually pulled to the mid-range position. Is he opening up space for Yi Jianlian?" Zhang Weiping looked at everything that happened on the field in surprise , although the UAE is indeed a strong insider second only to Anjie in this team, it would be a bit too confident for him to play singles against Marc Gasol! You know, in the nba regular season last season, Anjie didn't beat Marc Gasol every time!

Marc Gasol himself thinks the same way. He thinks that this Chinese named Yi is simply overreaching. So when Yi Jianlian turned around and broke through with a very fast footstep, and by the way used his shoulder to push Marc Gasol away to gain space, Mark didn't even react!

"What!?" Mark turned around in astonishment, only to find that his brother had rushed towards the basket. But Yi Jianlian did not have the slightest fear. With Marc Gasol chasing behind him and Paul Gasol defending in front of him, he successfully broke through to the basket and completed a wonderful two-handed dunk!

"Great goal! Well done!" In China, countless fans saw Yi Jianlian complete the goal, and couldn't help waving their fists, applauding one after another! Isn't it exciting that Yi Jianlian successfully completed dunks on two insiders at the NBA All-Star level?

After scoring the goal, Yi Jianlian yelled at the audience, and An Jie also extended his hand to give Yi Jianlian a high five. What about the Gasol brothers? These two guys look at me and I look at you, they still can't believe what just happened!

Who said that the Chinese team is just a team relying on Anjie? Other players in this team can also contribute on the field! Yi Jianlian's goal only allowed the Chinese team to tie the score, but the morale and encouragement brought by that goal was something that the Spanish team could not recover no matter how hard they chased.

After that, Anjie took the ball head-on and plunged into the inside line. His sudden attack attracted the two Gasol brothers to block the basket at the same time.

However, An Jie suddenly started to pass the ball during the breakthrough and sent the basketball to Yi Jianlian.

At this moment, Yi Jianlian has already run beyond the three-point line, and there are no Spanish players within 1.5 meters around him.

Faced with this wide open opportunity, Yi Jianlian made a three-pointer. It is difficult for Anjie to squeeze into the inside line under the position of the two Gasol brothers, but the basketball enters the net in a hollow way, so that Anjie no longer has to worry about rebounding.

"The connection between An Jie and Yi Jianlian seems to be very tacit, the Spanish team is five points behind! Audience friends, the Spanish team is now five points behind us!" Yu Jia shouted excitedly on the commentary stage, although An Jie Now he is not the one with the most points in the Chinese team, but he and Yi Jianlian used their own efforts to bring out the momentum of the Chinese team!

Outside, Spain's point guard Sergio Rull, shooting guard José Calderon and small forward Rudy Fernandez all performed unsatisfactorily. Instead, Liu Wei and Wang Shipeng from the Chinese team scored a few goals. None of the inside and outside lines took advantage, and the Spanish team fell behind after the first quarter!

The whole of China was boiling, and the whole of Spain was shocked. As a championship contender, Spain is actually in a backward position in the face of China, which is weaker in the group! Although the Chinese team only led 19 to 17 by two points, this was enough to make Spanish basketball fans angry!

In the second quarter, Anjie and Yi Jianlian took turns to rest. The Spanish team thought their time was coming. However, the veteran Wang Zhizhi used his excellent performance to make the Spaniards respect this chasing young man.

In the Olympic arena, Big Zhi naturally couldn't rely on his footwork to score points. After all, in the NBA, Ibaka has seen countless guys with better footsteps than Big Zhi.

But today Wang Zhizhi used his unexpected toughness and fiery shooting touch to make Ibaka think that he was really fighting Nowitzki.

Although Chen Jianghua was not as good as his opponent in terms of technique and body, he used his desperate breakthrough to the basket to score points time and time again. It is obvious that even though they were behind in the first quarter, the Spanish team still did not pay attention to the Chinese team!

In the first half of the second quarter, under the leadership of Wang Zhizhi and Chen Jianghua, they wrapped up the lead. In the second half of the second quarter, An Jie started the scoring mode.

Pau Gasol was tortured to death by Angie's back beat. Changed Ibaka to defend, and Ibaka was played by Anjie with various steps. When Marc Gasol finally got on the court, Ainge's offensive feel was developed. Now that Mark just came up, it was of no avail.

On the other hand, the Spanish team's offense, except for the veteran Carlos Navarro among the perimeter players, still collectively misfired. As for Navarro, he was the most serious in the training yesterday, and he was also the only guy who didn't dare to underestimate the enemy.

43 to 38, at the end of the half, the Spanish team did not even take a one-minute lead.

"This group of lads, don't they want to make history!" Zhang Weiping swallowed. The Chinese team, which has already risen, is not something that can be wiped out by Spain's effort in the second half. Although it is said that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, but today, Zhang Weiping has to have hope for the Chinese men's basketball team.

In the third quarter, the Spanish team obviously strengthened their defense against Anjie. However, it was Yi Jianlian who led the Chinese team to take the lead!

Maybe he wants to prove that he still has the ability to play in the NBA. Yi Jianlian played hard today and is in a very hot state. One goal was missed by Sun Yue, and Yi Jianlian held Paul to take off the offensive rebound and quickly took off for a second dunk. Yi Jianlian's tough style of play today made Deng Huade not even expect it.

After all, An Jie is just a young man, and he is still a young man who has no deep affection for Chinese basketball. With Yao Ming gone, this team still has to rely on Yi Jianlian to cohere. Today is the first game of the Olympic Games, of course Yi Jianlian wants to use his actions to infect his teammates!

As it turned out, the guy's efforts were not in vain. Seeing that Yi Jianlian, the big brother, is playing so hard, how can An Jie have any reason to be soft?

He launched an indiscriminate bombardment of the Spanish team's inside line. The seemingly indestructible inside iron triangle of the Spanish team was torn to pieces by An Jie and Yi Jianlian! If it weren't for the poor defensive skills of the Chinese team's outside players, which revived the Spanish team's back line, An Jie and Yi Jianlian might have extended the Chinese team's advantage to double digits.

72 to 67, the Chinese team still maintains the lead!

In the fourth quarter, the Spanish team went crazy. They didn't expect that they would be beaten by an underdog! The terrifying strength of this team was completely forced out by the mere Chinese men's basketball team.

The advantage of this is that the efficiency of the Spanish team's offense and defense has been greatly improved. The disadvantage is that they are anxious and they will always make an untimely shot or a key mistake from time to time.

Due to the limited level of outside players, the Chinese team does not have the ability to play transition offense. However, An Jie, Yi Jianlian and Wang Zhizhi's high-efficiency offense can help the Chinese team grasp these mistakes of the Spanish team.

The game time is passing by every minute and every second. The time of each game of the FIBA ​​is shorter than that of the NBA, and the timeout is not as many as the NBA, so the game process will be much faster than the NBA.

The shorter the time, the more desperate the Spanish team. In the end, Yi Jianlian and Wang Zhizhi may have performed abnormally due to physical reasons, but An Jie once again carried the scoring banner of the Chinese team.

Mark Gasol gritted his teeth and leaned against An Jie, and An Jie supported Mark's power point, not in a hurry.

Mark pushed in a step, and found that An Jie was not only unmoved, but his center of gravity was not shaken at all! As a result, Mark's plan to break through was completely ruined.

Afterwards, Marc Gasol suddenly picked up his arms and half turned around, looking like he was about to hook his hand!

An Jie didn't jump, he just raised his hands high in front of Mark, and as expected, Mark withdrew his hands just halfway through the movement, it was just a fake move!

Seeing that he had been guarded by An Jie, Marc Gasol quickly hit the ball to the outside.

Carlos Navarro, the meritorious hometown of the Spanish team, rushed to catch the ball. Liu Wei not only slowed down a lot, but was hit by Navarro, and Liu Wei almost fell down.

Navarro broke through to one step inside the free throw line and was about to end the game with one of his most confident throws.

The arc of the basketball looks perfect, and everything looks good until that big hand appears on the ball and the rim.

"An Jie! He rose from the ground!" Zhang Weiping suddenly stood up. An Jie's defense this time is likely to be a defense that changed history!

"Crack!" An Jie was able to slap the basketball away one second before it fell! Due to An Jie's excessive force, the basketball flew directly to the Spanish team's half court, and no one could pick it up.

Navarro hugged his head in pain, not because he was violated by Anjie, but because the attack just now was the Spanish team's last chance in this game!

As soon as the basketball went out of bounds, the referee from Ireland blew his whistle in this game.

Yu Jia and Zhang Weiping, who were sitting on the commentary platform, looked at each other first, and then they hugged each other.

"The Chinese team...the Chinese team won! The Chinese men's basketball team defeated the mighty Spain by two points!" After that, the audience could only hear Yu Jia and Zhang Weiping shouting excitedly... ...
