On July 28, the much-anticipated London Olympics kicked off at the Olympus Stadium.
At the opening ceremony, Sun Yi, who served as the flag bearer for this Olympic Games, held his head high and his chest high, holding the national flag high with both hands, leading the Chinese delegation into the venue majestically.
Being able to serve as the flag bearer at the Olympic Games made Sun Yi nervous and excited at the same time, and he was deeply afraid of embarrassing the country.
After entering the venue, Sun Yi heard a familiar voice and knew that it was the cheers of compatriots who had traveled thousands of miles to the scene, and the tension in his heart was relieved.
He is not fighting alone, there are thousands of compatriots supporting him behind him.
After finally reaching the designated area, the stone hanging in Sun Yi's heart finally fell to the ground, and his body slowly relaxed.
"As expected of a big heart, it's amazing!" Dayao gave Sun Yi a thumbs-up gesture.
"Hahaha, Brother Yao, you are ridiculous. I was so nervous just now that I almost took the wrong step. I'm a little scared just thinking about it." Sun Yi clapped his chest with his hand and looked frightened.
"I still don't know what kind of person you are. Excessive modesty is pride." Dayao joked with an embarrassing smile.
As Sun Yi and Dayao communicated quietly, the opening ceremony gradually came to an end.
After the opening ceremony, the Chinese men's basketball team, led by the team leader, returned to the Olympic Village to recharge their batteries and prepare for tomorrow's group stage.
…
…
On the 29th, the Chinese men’s basketball team faced its first opponent in the group stage, the Spanish men’s basketball team.
Before the game, Gasol, the core of the Spanish men's basketball team, called his teammates together to do pre-game mobilization work.
"The strength of the Chinese men's basketball team should not be underestimated. Sun's strength is quite terrifying. No one wants to play against him. Coupled with Yao and Yi, they are definitely one of the strongest teams in this Olympics. Therefore, we cannot take it lightly and must take this seriously. game.”
The Spanish men's basketball team lost to the Chinese men's basketball team in the 2010 World Championships. This time the Chinese men's basketball team is stronger, and the Spanish team has to pay attention to this game.
After the warm-up activities, the starting players of the two teams took the stage.
The starting lineup sent by the Chinese team is: Sun Yue, Zhu Fangyu, Sun Yi, Ah Lian, and Dayao.
The starting lineup sent by the Spanish team is: Rubio, Cal Deron, Fernandez, Gasol, and Gasol.
In the jump ball session, Dayao easily defeated Gasol and gave the Chinese team the first opportunity to attack.
Ah Lian caught the basketball dialed back by Yao and immediately swung it forward.
Having played together with Sun Yi for so long in the Warriors, we have already formed a tacit understanding and know that Sun Yi will play quickly.
Sun Yi, who rushed to the Spanish team's half, received the pass, accelerated to the penalty area, bumped into Calderon who stepped forward to cover, and scored an easy layup.
The ball is transferred and the Spanish team attacks.
When the ball came to the top of the arc, it was a huge headache to see the Chinese team adopting a 2-3 zone defense.
His shooting ability is beyond words, and he has no way to break through the Chinese team's defense.
So, Rubio passed the ball out and let his teammates open up the situation.
Outside the right three-point line, Karl Deron received the pass and shot a three-pointer against Zhu Fangyu's defense.
The basketball bounced out of the frame. Dayao grabbed the rebound and immediately found Sun Yi and passed the ball over.
In the Chinese team, the only one who can safely dribble the ball across the half court despite the opponent's pressing is Sun Yi.
Sun Yi received the pass and advanced quickly, launching a defensive counterattack. Seeing Fernandez rushing over to delay, he directly changed direction and passed the defender, speeding towards the frontcourt.
The Spanish players who were retreating immediately accelerated back to the penalty area to defend.
As we all know, the closer you are to the basket, the higher your shooting percentage.
The Spanish team will not let Sun Yi enter the inside easily.
Sun Yi dribbled the ball and took a big step outside the three-point line on the right side. When he saw the Spanish team players retreating to the penalty area, no one cared about him. He picked up the ball without hesitation and threw the basketball in his hand.
The three-point line in the international arena is shorter than the NBA three-point line, and Sun Yi's long-range three-pointer is only equivalent to a regular NBA three-pointer.
Without interference, the hit rate is naturally very high.
The basketball hit the net and made a steady hit!
5:0!
It was the Spanish team's turn to attack. Luby came to the top of the arc to organize the attack. After passing the ball continuously, there was still no shooting opportunity. The Chinese team blocked a 24-second violation.
The Chinese team's zone defense is much stronger than the Spanish team.
Dayao defended in the penalty area, which was a natural barrier.
Sun Yi's terrifying ability to help prevent Spanish team players from trying to shoot easily.
Ah Lian, Sun Yue and Zhu Fangyu all have good athletic abilities and can switch defenses in time when encountering pick-and-rolls or screens.
If the Spanish team wants to break through the Chinese team's zone defense, it will be impossible without some help from the outside.
The ball possession changed, Sun Yue dribbled the ball across half court, handed the ball to Sun Yi and ran towards the right corner.
Sun Yi held the ball and made a three-threat action. He feinted a shot and then quickly released the ball. He changed direction and passed Fernandez and then broke into the three-point line from the left.
Upon seeing this, Gasol immediately rushed to cover up the defense. He knew that if he arrived late, this defense would end in failure again.
After Sun Yizhen attracted the attention of the Spanish team's flank defense, he immediately distributed the ball to the outside.
Outside the three-point line on the left, A Lian received the pass comfortably and took off to shoot without any adjustments.
"Uh-huh!"
The basketball hollowed into the net, causing a white wave to appear on the net!
7:0!
The Chinese team started with a 7-0 offensive climax, which gave the Spanish team a disincentive.
The Chinese fans in front of the TV and at the scene watched with excitement.
They never thought that one day they would beat the world champion violently.
Back on the court, Rubi came to the frontcourt, waved to the inside, and called for pick-and-roll cooperation.
Gasol quickly ran out to set up a pick-and-roll.
Sun Yue learned from Sun Yi that Rubio missed the basket, and immediately took a few steps back and went around the screen to pursue the defense.
Rubio did the opposite, bursting into the three-point line from the other side and quickly rushing towards the basket.
Yao, who was guarding the basket, came to life and took a favorable position in advance, waiting for Rubio to throw himself into the trap.
After Rubio came to the penalty area, he found that he was completely covered by Yao and had no room to shoot. He made a bold choice and passed the ball to the basket.
He believes his teammate is under the basket at this time.
Yuan Wai Lu guessed the beginning but not the end.
His teammate was indeed under the basket, but the pass was intercepted by Sun Yi.
Sun Yi, who rushed back to the basket to help defend, did not reach out to Lu to give him warmth. After stealing the ball, he immediately accelerated towards the frontcourt.
Only after Sun Yi ran away did the Spanish players react and immediately turned around to chase after him.
On the other side, Sun Yi came to the frontcourt in a hurry. Instead of going for the inevitable two points, he chose to chase for a three-pointer.
Swish!
Hit a three-pointer from behind!
10:0!
On the sidelines, the head coach of the Spanish team stamped his feet anxiously when he saw what was happening on the court. He immediately called a timeout and called the players back to the bench to rearrange their tactics.
