Coach Yunas called Zhang Guan aside and asked, "Zhang Guan, do you think we can play the US team?"
Without thinking, Zhang Guan shook his head directly: "To be honest, it is almost impossible to defeat the US team, unless a miracle occurs."
"I think so too, so in the next game against the US team, I am not going to send you to play." Coach Yunas looked at Zhang Guan and realized that Zhang Guan did not respond, so he continued: "You are Our secret weapon, now other teams don’t know you at all, and I don’t want to expose you too early. We can’t win the game against the American team at night, so I’m going to put you on the bench.

"No problem, we have a saying in China that steel should be used on the blade. I also think that I should appear on the court at the most critical moment, and unexpectedly give my opponent a fatal blow!" Zhang Guan said.
Coach Yunas nodded in satisfaction. He continued: "I know you have to participate in other events. Time is very important to you. This evening's game will not start until 22:15.

The Chinese men's basketball team will welcome them in the Olympic Games The first opponent of the United States is the American Dream Eight. This will be the fifth time the two teams have played in the Olympic Games since 1984. In the first four matches with the United States in the Olympic Games, the Chinese men’s basketball team lost to their opponents. China The team's highest score is 72 points, the lowest score is 49 points, the largest loss point difference is 63 points, the smallest loss point difference is 47 points, in the 2002 World Championships, the Chinese team once at the end of the first quarter of the game As much as 12 points ahead of the US team, and only 1 point behind the opponent at the end of the half, this is the most suspenseful game China has played against the United States. Six years later, the Beijing Olympics has three major insiders. Compared with the American men's basketball team, the Chinese men's basketball team has a certain advantage in height. For the Chinese men's basketball team, this game is undoubtedly a tough battle. What kind of mentality to treat this game is very important."
"The American men’s basketball team is a team composed of NBA All-Star teams, especially their backcourt players are first-class masters in today’s basketball world. The biggest gap between the Chinese men’s basketball team and the American men’s basketball team lies in the backcourt. In terms of the player's ability, according to the new rules, the current Olympic Games canceled the so-called 5-8 qualifying, and directly ranked the final seats according to their group stage rankings, group stage records, and the order of the points of all games. This means that if the Chinese team wants to achieve good results, they must fight hard for each game. In the face of the powerful American team, the Chinese team will not give up easily. As the host of this Olympic Games, the Chinese men How will the basketball perform in the first game? Let us wait and see."
"It is worth mentioning that there is a new face in this year's men's basketball team, that is Zhang Guan. This game is also Zhang Guan's first participation in a formal basketball game. In basketball, Zhang Guan's ability is for us To give the unknown, it is also an unknown for our opponents. We hope that Zhang Guan will bring us an excellent performance in the next game and help the national team get a better ranking."
"Okay, the game officially started. The Chinese team's starters are Dayao, Arab League, Zhu Fangyu, Sun Yue and Liu Wei. The U.S. men's basketball team starters are Kidd, Kobe, James, Anthony and Howard. Now the two sides of the ball jump United Arab Emirates and Howard!"
The United States first got the ball in the jump ball and attacked to the frontcourt. Anthony scored a mistake. In the counterattack of the Chinese team, Dayao made a three-point shot from the bottom line.
Next, the United States team Anthony missed a three-pointer, remember to step on the line error, James missed a jumper; and the national team Liu Wei was remembered to be overwritten, Sun Yue and Liu Wei also made a mistake in the cooperation, then Liu Wei Kidd steals again. It can be said that the two sides did not play well in these rounds, and there were more mistakes. Until Bryant passed the ball to dunk Howard scored, stopped this situation.
The national team fired frequently on the periphery, while the American team blossomed inside and outside. The two sides went from 11 draws to 16 draws. Both sides can enter the rotation lineup. The US team has replaced Bosh, Paul, Wade and Williams, and the national team has been replaced by Chen Jianghua, roughly and Wang Shipeng. After the first quarter, the US team led 4 points with 20-16.
In the second quarter, the national team made several mistakes, the American team seized the opportunity of the national team mistakes and scored continuously. During the period, it played a small climax of 10 to 3. At the end of the first half, the American team led by 49:37 . Wade scored a high of 12 points in the half, while the United League was embarrassingly 0-for-6.
There is a gap between the two teams, and 12 points behind halftime is also within the range acceptable to fans, but the discerning people can all see that the American team has not played seriously at all, and apparently reached within the United States. There is a consensus that the first game should give the host some face.
In the third quarter, the U.S. team's shooting rate decreased, but the fierce defense forced the Chinese team to make several mistakes. At the end of the third quarter, the score was increased to 74 to 48. Dayao was also in this quarter. Once injured and left the field.
In the fourth quarter, the problem of the decline of the national team's physical strength appeared, which not only affected the hit rate, but also failed to withdraw in time. Coming, that is to say the national team scored no points in the sports game. With 4 minutes and 39 seconds left until the end of the game, Dayao was replaced, which is also equivalent to the national team giving up this game.
In the end, the national team lost to the US men's basketball team 70-101.
In this competition, eleven players of the national team have played time, at least 5 minutes of playing time, only to win the championship, has been sitting on the bench. (To be continued.)
