Chapter 1381 Who Is More Patriotic?
"You want Lin Yi and Xiao Ding to play the main attack?"
Li Chunjiang still seemed a little surprised when he heard what Tang Tian said.
Although Lin Yi and Ding Yanyuhang are in good form in the group stage, the core of the Chinese team is Tang Tian.
You must know that Tang Tian's average score in three games is close to 30 points, and he is the leading scorer in the Olympic Games so far.
"Let them practice. I just happened to be defending Rui Hachimura. If something happens, I'll come out and clean up the situation."
Tang Tian spoke very calmly.
Although it is a taboo to underestimate the enemy, it depends on the situation. It is like the United States playing Japan. Even if they have five defenders, no one thinks that they underestimate the enemy.
He did it, as he said, so that other people would get more exercise.
Of course, another point he said is also very important. The core of the Japanese team is Rui Hachimura. His marking can limit the Japanese team's offense to death.
"Play normally first, then I will adjust according to the situation."
Li Chunjiang did not directly agree with Tang Tian. After all, the next match was the quarter-finals, so he still begged for stability.
Tang Tian didn't force it anymore, if he played normally, he could also check Hachimura's state first.
If Hachimura's performance is average, then there is no need to be so troublesome, just kill him normally.
China and Japan met in the quarter-finals of the Olympic Games, which is a historic occasion.
Before the Japanese team could not get out of Asia, the Chinese team didn't even have the chance to meet them in the Olympics.
This time, with the right time, place and people, the Japanese team made it to the quarterfinals of the Olympic Games, and the Japanese fans were in high spirits.
Even against the defending champion Chinese team, which has no defeat in the group, their morale is high.
Rui Hachimura's home game is their greatest source of courage.
Before the quarter-finals, the coaching staff of the Chinese team also analyzed and studied the Japanese team's group match.
The Japanese team's style of play has not changed much from a year ago. The only change is that Rui Hachimura has become much stronger.
The sport of basketball is very complicated, but it is actually very simple if it is simple.
Rui Hachimura's high singles efficiency forced the opponent to assist in the defense, and the Japanese team was good at off-ball tactics, so the offense naturally started.
As for defense, the Japanese team has always been stabbed by thousands of people.
Of course, such a change alone is not enough to guarantee that the Japanese team will win the Argentine team in the group stage. Another very important change is the free throw.
The number of free throws of the Japanese team is the highest among all 12 teams, not even a little higher.
Host!
Compared with China, Japan is obviously more like its neighbor South Korea, whose performance in the 2002 World Cup was cosmic.
It seems that in the quarter-finals, the Chinese team won't be able to run five-on-eight.
Japanese fans are in high spirits, but Chinese fans are only even more excited.
Sports and politics are not linked, but sports are also attended by people. Considering the history of the two countries, Chinese fans are enthusiastic no matter what they encounter in any competition.
Especially when the Japanese agencies tried their best to send themselves to the quarterfinals, this made them even more upset and shameless.
Before the match between China and Japan, someone broke the news on the Internet that some Chinese fans bought game tickets at five times or even ten times the normal ticket price.
The Japanese media were dumbfounded watching such a scene, and some media ridiculed it.
As the most patriotic country in the world, it is impossible for the Japanese to betray their country for money, and Chinese fans can only humiliate themselves.
On social media in Japan, many fans with tickets also expressed this idea. In the face of national interests, they will not bow down for Wudoumi.
Time flies, and the quarter-finals of the Olympic Games officially kicked off the next day.
The game between Slovenia and Spain was the first to start. Their winners were also opponents in the semi-finals of the winners of China and Japan.
With Doncic's outstanding performance, Slovenia's performance in the Olympics did not lose or even surpassed last year's World Cup. Coupled with the honor of being in the same group as the Japanese team, their promotion journey looks much smoother.
The performance of the Spanish team so far this year is average, and they have a great chance of reaching the semi-finals.
In the afternoon game, there were many Chinese fans. Judging from their actions, many of them bought two games in a row.
The Spanish team is still led by Rubio and Gasol Jr., but the state of both of them has declined, especially Gasol Jr., whose performance is very sluggish.
One ebbs and another, the final result of the game is similar to the expectation.
With the performance of Doncic and Dragic, Slovenia defeated Spain 93 to 83 and reached the semi-finals of the Olympic Games.
After the game, the Slovenians celebrated wildly. This is the first time they have reached the semi-finals of the World Series since the disintegration of Yugoslavia!
Doncic became the focus of the team's cheers. This young man who has made great achievements in the NBA contributed 25 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists in this crucial battle.
They can now sit back and wait for the winner of the evening between China and Japan.
The next game was three hours later, and the fans left the stadium one after another.
But only an hour later, a large number of Chinese fans appeared in the arena again.
And as the game got closer, more and more Chinese fans appeared on the scene.
Even when the game was about to start, the staff of the organizer and the Japanese fans who were present showed expressions of disbelief.
In the huge arena, more than 60% of the seats are Chinese!
In other words, if the fans from other countries were excluded, less than 40% of the Japanese fans were present!
Snapped! Snapped! Snapped!
Since the Chinese team ranked fourth in the strength ranking before the start of the Olympics, and then they were beaten in the face, not only the Japanese media, but also those who said on social media that they would not bow down for five buckets of rice.
Reality really hit them hard in the face.
This is unexpected, but also reasonable.
Japan used to be known as the most patriotic country in the world, but that was before World War II. After World War II, Japan's anti-war sentiment was particularly high.
In particular, the suicide style of World War II caused many mothers to lose their sons, and many sons lost their fathers. Their patriotism has long been wiped out.
The most famous incident is the suicide of Yukio Mishima, a famous Japanese writer and fanatical patriot. Before the latter committed suicide, he gave a tearful and passionate speech in front of Japanese cadets, which was booed and laughed. That is the best proof.
Not to mention that more than 30 years have passed since then, and the patriotic concept of the Japanese is weaker than before.
Of course, in contrast to this is the high patriotism of Chinese fans. If five times and ten times are not sold, how about twenty times and thirty times.
After China's economic development, there are more and more rich people.
Just like Mayweather was able to be invited to fight by Jack Ma not long ago, money is omnipotent in these aspects.
