After chatting with Durant, Tang Tian also took the initiative to go over and say hello to Popovich.

The two of them are both teachers and friends, and now they become opponents in the fiba game. No matter what the final result is, it will be a good story.

After the warm-up, the opening ceremony was entered.

Tang Tian's head-touching kill ignited the whole audience, and the lineup of the two teams was also released.

On the Chinese team, Fang Shuo and Ding Yanyuhang from the outside, Tang Tian and Abdusalam on the front line, and Yi Jianlian from the center.

Li Chunjiang made adjustments to the lineup and arranged a lineup of one, one, four, and four.

Moreover, these people on the court, from group stage to knockout stage, are the team's best offensive players.

Obviously, this is going to fight against Team USA.

This is also the right choice. No matter what lineup the Chinese team is on, their defense will basically be exploded.

Judging from the several games in the group stage, it is very likely to fight against the strong by fighting against the weak.

Team USA also changed its lineup.

Curry and Thompson on the outside, Durant and Leonard on the front line, and center Drummond.

Harden did not show up.

This also echoes Popovich's personality. The more critical the game, the more unexpected it is.

The game began soon, and players from both sides appeared one after another amid the cheers of fans.

Drummond won the United States the opportunity to take the lead in the offense.

Team USA came up and ran to the elevator door tactics.

The head coach of this year's US men's basketball team is Popovich, but the chief assistant coach is Cole.

Curry, Thompson and Durant were teammates last season, and this tactic was very successful.

This may also be the purpose of Popovich's replacement of this lineup.

Unfortunately, Curry failed to make a three-pointer, and he made a bit off-the-shot.

Curry shook his head when he saw the ball not entering.

He has not felt better since the World Cup, and it felt like someone stolen the three-point skill pack.

Looking back, Tang Tian made a three-pointer from Curry.

"Swish!"

Unlike Curry, Tang Tian’s three-pointer is directly hollowed into the net.

It felt like saying to Curry: That's right, it's right.

One defense and one attack, Tang Tian blasted Curry, which also ignited the emotions of the fans on the scene.

Putting aside his strength, Tang Tian showed his game temperament at the beginning is enough to make people excited.

Curry didn't make the first shot, so he stopped running the elevator door, but began to turn the organization from the end.

Because of its top shooting skills, Curry's organization is easily overlooked.

Some fans' descriptions are very appropriate. Curry is Nash of the new century, but he has a stronger offensive desire than Nash.

In the high pick-and-roll, the running position on the side without the ball, Curry broke the score of Durant, who shot around the middle distance from Leonard to cover the ball.

"Swish!"

Abdusalam, who assisted in defense, could not keep up with the speed at all, and Durant hit a steadily mid-range.

2-3, both teams played a beautiful offense at the beginning.

This also made a very good start for the finals.

No matter who your fans are, they will not want to watch a one-sided game in the finals.

The charm of competitive sports is that everything is possible.

Tang Tian made a sudden score in the frontcourt, and Fang Shuo's three-pointer was interfered with by Leonard.

Popovich lets Thompson replace Harden as the scoring guard, and his offense has declined, but his defensive strength has increased a lot.

Drummond defends the defensive rebound with long arms.

The Chinese team retreated and defended quickly, but the US team's fast break did not start to fight and redirected the position.

It was Durant again, and after receiving the ball, he leaned back and stepped back to the middle distance.

The American fans who arrived gave a burst of cheers.

Curry failed in three-pointers, but Durant was particularly stable.

Speaking of the last game against Spain, it was only with Durant's stable output in the last moment that the US team could make a wave of success and accept the game.

4-3, Team USA surpassed the score.

Back to the defensive end, with Popovich's big hand wave on the sidelines, Leonard and Thompson began to double-team against Tang Tian.

Curry and Durant are also ready to double-team at any time.

Popovich has never fought such a wealthy battle in his life, so he allowed Tang Tian to enjoy the defensive treatment of the Super Spurs in advance.

Tang Tian didn't get a phone shot from the double-team, and he passed the ball to the weak side.

This is a chance ball, but Thompson returns to defense very quickly, and opportunities are fleeting.

Fang Shuo... chose to shoot quickly.

It can be clearly felt that after experiencing this World Cup, Fang Shuo and the hesitant Fang Shuo during the warm-up match were not the same person.

This is the confidence and growth brought by competition experience.

And as Tang Tian said, his psychological quality is really strong.

You should know that he missed a three-pointer just in front of him.

"Bang!"

Thompson still caused interference, and Fang Shuo's three-pointer hit the front of the basket.

But after the ball bounced up, the second time it fell into the net bag.

Drummond was a little bit short of trying to get the racket out.

Confident people will not have bad luck!

This sentence applies to any occasion!

6 to 4!

The Chinese team overturned the score again!

Cheers burst into tears at the scene.

Fang Chaoju was once used by them to tease Fang Shuo, but this World Cup, this nickname is really well deserved!

Li Chunjiang also waved his fists hard on the sidelines.

Fang Shuo's three-point shot is very important, because this will directly affect the defensive intensity of the US team against Tang Tian later.

In the frontcourt position of the US team, Durant continued to take advantage of Leonard's pick-and-roll to catch the ball.

If you want to talk about Tang Tian’s pick-and-roll ability, he is still somewhat restrained when he meets Leonard. After all, no matter how strong his ability is, the one that circles is passive.

Durant chose to cut into the basket this time.

Yi Jianlian came out with defense.

The two are both rookies in the 2007, and they have many regular season matches. He is familiar with Durant and knows that the latter is not a player who loves passing the ball very much.

However, Durant's choice was beyond his expectations. He did not rush to take action, but instead, a passing pass was inserted into the basket before the two met.

The quality of the ball pass was very good. Drummond had no defense after getting the ball, and directly dunked hard with both hands.

Abdusalam, who assisted in defense, wanted to stop him, but he actually lost a foul.

Drummond roared excitedly after dunking, and the bench of the US team was also in full swing.

Li Chunjiang was so rare that Abdusala was not good at Abdusala, and he knew that after Durant passed the ball, he would probably not be able to stop the ball.

Drummond's chance to increase punishment.

Tang Tian looked up at Durant at this time.

He saw a transformation in Durant.

It is not an enhancement of ability, but a temperament and leader temperament.

Perhaps it was the experiences of the Warriors and the Lakers that made him realize that only by relying on himself can he really win the respect of others.

Or maybe it was Popovich's team-oriented style that forced him to stand up.
Chapter completed!
