Chapter 1283 Fight Against Poland! (The First One Asks for a Monthly Pass!)
The Polish team members turned their heads and saw Tang Tian.
Their expressions changed naturally.
The color of confidence turned into the color of worry.
They all knew in their hearts that Tang Tian was in the Chinese team and not in the Chinese team, they were two completely different teams.
Taylor's expression was also taken aback, but he didn't show any negative emotions.
Regardless of whether Tang Tian played or not, they had to win the game tonight.
Tang Tian's appearance now just means that he has to do more work before the game than usual.
Tang Tian entered the training hall amid the cheers of the reporters at the door, and he also greeted the reporters with a smile.
The reporters breathed a sigh of relief after seeing it, as if the stone in their hearts had finally landed.
It seemed that Tang Tian could really fight tonight!
Not long after Tang Tian arrived at the arena, the Chinese team's bus also arrived to start training.
The team members already knew that Tang Tian would play the evening game on the way here, and their depressed mood has recovered a lot.
When they saw that Tang Tian arrived at the training hall before them, they had already swept away the depressed mood of the past two days, and even smiled on their faces.
Tang Tian was their Dinghaishenzhen. His appearance made the lost game in the past less important.
They all went up one after another to care about the situation of Tang Tian's son.
Tang Tian also responded positively, and told them that he would stay until the end of the World Cup.
This is undoubtedly another burst of stimulant.
You can even see the long-lost self-confidence on their faces.
Before the training started, Tang Tian asked Li Chunjiang to call the players together, and then said something.
"Losing the last game is nothing, really nothing.
This Argentine team has been misunderstood by many people. It is true that they alternate between the old and the new, but it is not a lack of success.
Their point guard Campazzo was the finals MVP of La Liga last season, La Provitola was the regular season MVP of La Liga, and Scola you all know.
This team was listed as the No. 8 seed by fiba, not because of their past glory, but because they really have this strength now.
But we should also realize a problem through the last game, we are not a strong team.
We want to win the game, we need to go all out every game.
Just start with tonight's game, show our own people on their doorstep, we can win. "
After Tang Tian's speech, most of the team members' self-confidence before the start of the World Cup has returned.
I have to say that he is really experienced in pouring chicken soup, and every sentence hits the point.
In the training that followed, the team members also swept away the sluggish state of yesterday, and all of them were in high spirits.
Li Chunjiang couldn't help shaking his head with a smile as he watched the team members change dramatically.
He suddenly felt that if Tang Tianlai was the head coach of the national team, he would do a much better job than him.
After the training, Tang Tian also accepted the reporter's interview.
He also told the media what he said to the players before, which is also to give confidence to the Chinese fans who support them.
Sure enough, after the media released his words with embellishments.
On Weibo and forums, all the bad-mouthing voices before disappeared, replaced by a full screen of self-confidence.
"Tang Tian is back! I want to see how France and Canada can't guard against it, how can you defend against a little Poland!"
"Ponitka, right? He's no fart in front of Tang Tian! Poland underestimated us and made them pay the price!"
"As long as Tang Tian can fight, I dare say it's 50-50 against the United States. Poland? Who is Poland?!"
"Garbage Poland, wash your neck and die!"
"The Chinese team will win!"
...
That night, BJ Wukesong Gymnasium had a full hour before the start of the game, and the attendance was already full.
The fans at the scene were enthusiastic.
Tang Tian's return brought fans' support for the national team to a new climax.
Especially after experiencing the first defeat, they are eagerly looking forward to seeing the national team's first victory.
And Tang Tian was the source of their self-confidence.
Both teams are in the locker room doing their final preparations before the game.
On the Polish side, head coach Taylor saw that the worry on the players' faces was still there, and called them together for the final pre-match mobilization.
"They're No. 3 in the world, they have the best basketball player in the world, and they don't even care who we have on the team.
But that's why we're here and what we're going to do tonight.
We will use 24 people, including team photographers, players, coaches, and staff.
The 24 of us are a team, we are against them, and the 1.4 billion people behind them.
Fight 'em, beat 'em, I'm here to assure you, after tonight.
They'll care, they'll know who Ponitka is, who Slaughter is, who Kulig is!
They will know who each of you is!
Every Chinese who has watched TV and watched the live broadcast will know it!
They will know what Polish basketball is.
They will know! "
It has to be said that Taylor's ability in speech is very powerful.
This may also be an important reason why Poland was able to break out of the European Cup in the World Cup qualifiers and return to the World Cup after 52 years.
Half an hour before the start of the game, the players of the two teams began to enter the field one after another.
When Tang Tian came out of the player tunnel, the fans at the scene were instantly ebullient.
They were really looking forward to Tang Tian's playing, and they were also looking forward to the victory of the Chinese team.
The players of the two teams began to warm up on the court, and after the warm-up, they entered the opening ceremony.
When it was the turn of the Chinese team, the players lined up in two rows on both sides with their heads bowed, and Tang Tian touched from the front to the back.
It is still the iconic touching ceremony.
This also pushed the emotions of the fans to a higher climax.
After the appearance ceremony, the starting lineups of the two teams were also released one after another.
The Polish team was the same as in the first game, with Slaughter and Ponica on the outside, Watzki and Aaron Sale on the front, and Kulig at the center.
On the Chinese team, Tang Tian returned and served as the team's starting point guard just like in the warm-up match.
The other four positions are shooting guard Ding Yanyuhang, small forward Abdul Saramu, power forward Zhai Xiaochuan, and center Yi Jianlian.
This starting lineup is the same as in the previous four-nation match in Wuhan, and Li Chunjiang still uses a lineup of one big and four small.
The game will start immediately, and both sides will start to play one after another.
Tang Tian was the last one to throw a handful of chalk on the technical stage, and then pushed the mood of the scene up.
Amidst the explosive cheers from the fans, Yi Jianlian jumped up and turned the ball back to the Chinese team's half, officially kicking off the battle between China and Poland!
