Turkey's offense, Ilyasova's shooting missed, Asik grabbed the frontcourt rebound and made a layup to cause Li Muhao to foul. Unfortunately, he has always been butterfly, and his shooting after being fouled was also unfortunately missed.

Two free throws chances.

Asik is a typical functional player with strong defense and weak offense. Free throws are also one of his weaknesses. After entering the free throw line, he made one of two free throws, helping the team expand the gap to 3 points.

Looking back at the Chinese team's attack, Tang Shuai secretly gave Li Gen a color, and then continued to break in.

Turkey's defense was forced to shrink because of the lessons learned in the last round, and the goal was more thorough than the last round. It seemed that he was determined to defend against Tang Shuai's breakthrough.

But at this moment, what they never expected, Tang Shuai didn't even look back and just threw his head back and hit the earth.

With a "bang", the basketball bounced on the floor and flew straight outward to the forty-five-degree position of the right wing. Li Gen had already stood there. After receiving the ball, he adjusted his posture and then made a three-pointer.

Li Gen debuted in Shanghai and became famous in Beijing. His physical fitness and three-point shooting ability are strengths. He is quite confident in his shooting at this moment. The so-called feeling is like a shot.

"Swish!"

With a crisp sound, Li Gen's three-pointer hit a steady hit!

After scoring the goal, Li Gen seemed very excited, slapped his chest with his hands and roared towards the sky. The raised muscles on his hands were full of visual impact!

The fans at the scene were in an uproar. With this goal, the Chinese team came from behind and tied the score immediately!

The Turkish team was a little panicked and wanted to advance quickly to play one, but it made a mistake and directly passed the ball out of bounds.

Ataman hurriedly called for a pause.

"I did a good job, keep going." Gong Luming encouraged the Chinese players who ended up.

"I did a great job, you are the best!" Yanis Christopoulos, the team's Greek assistant coach, also loudly encouraged the Chinese players.

After the timeout, Tang Shuai was replaced by Gong Luming.

Tang Shuai was not present, but the Chinese team's momentum was still there. With a momentum, they fought with the Turkish team evenly. After the two sides played in the first half, they tied at 42.

When he came back in the second half, Gong Luming still did not send Tang Shuai to the field again.

Playing basketball requires one-piece action. After the half-time break, the team had lost the momentum accumulated in the first half. Tang Shuai did not play again, and the score was gradually widened.

In the fourth quarter, Gong Luming even sent Zhao Haoyan and Zhao Dapeng, players who rarely had the chance to play, also replaced some young players in Türkiye.

73 to 82, the Chinese team finally lost after four quarters of fierce battle.

Tang Shuai's national team's debut was quite amazing. His 7-minute playing time and his 11-point and 3-assisted performance were absolutely eye-catching. The biggest disadvantage was his playing time. I don't know if it was because of his first appearance, but for some other reasons, Gong Luming did not arrange for him to play in subsequent games.

Although he had been sitting on the sidelines, Tang Shuai was very calm and talked and laughed with his teammates around him. Although he didn't know Gong Luming's intention to do so, he believed Gong Luming.

There are three games in Europe, in addition to Türkiye, the first game, there are next matches between the Czech Republic and France.

In the following game, Tang Shuai's playing time increased, but it only lasted between 10 and 15 minutes. Facing two strong opponents, they eventually lost and suffered three consecutive losses. Among them, the game against France was a crushing defeat of more than 20 points.

The three European training games ended, and the time was already on June 20, and the national team boarded the plane back home.

On the plane, Tang Shuai looked at the clouds outside the window, but he could hear the rest of the team members talking, as if discussing the game.

From the sporadic words, it can be seen that the players who have always obedient also have complaints, and the biggest focus seems to be about his playing time.

Although the win or loss in the warm-up match is not that important, as a basketball player, no matter what game he plays, he aims to win.

A group of people discussed for a while, and finally selected the most "popular" Guo Ailun to go to Gong Luming to make suggestions.

Guo Ailun walked to the front row and changed his seat with Sui Ran, who was originally sitting next to Gong Luming. After sitting down, he immediately smiled and said, "It's better to sit in front."

"You stupid kid." Seeing Guo Ailun's actions, Gong Luming couldn't help but smile and said, "There are almost the same places on the plane, not taking a car."

Guo Ailun grinned "hehe" and continued, "Director Gong, I was chatting with others just now, and they all felt that we had a great hope of winning these three games."

"Well, there is a great opportunity. After another year or two, our team will be well-equipped, and it will not be a problem." Gong Luming said with a smile.

Guo Ailun was said by Gong Luming and didn't know how to answer the conversation. He looked back and saw his teammates constantly making gestures to encourage him. He coughed dryly, looked straight at Gong Luming and said, "Director Gong, I think Tang Shuai is a player with excellent ability. If we can arrange more playing time, we will definitely win the game."

Seeing Guo Ailun's expression, Gong Luming turned around and looked around. After seeing other teammates all retracted their heads, they smiled and said, "Do you think, or do you think?"

"We think." Guo Ailun said without thinking much.

"Well, I will consider this issue, but Tang Shuai just came to the team and he needs to adapt slowly." Gong Luming nodded and said.

"Hehe..." Guo Ailun couldn't help but giggle.

"What are you laughing at?" Gong Luming said in confusion.

"Director Gong, you are so easy to talk to." Guo Ailun smiled, then stood up, "Then I will go back and give them peace of mind first."

Seeing Guo Ailun get up and walk back, Gong Luming couldn't help but smile and said, "This child..."

It was already the 21st when I returned to China. I have not arranged a training plan these days. The team has ushered in a rare four-day rest time. In addition to daily training, the players are discussing privately how to celebrate Zhou Qi. After all, Zhou Qi has great hope this year to be selected in the first round.

After the training on this day, the team members were preparing to gather in private to discuss the celebration ceremony. Tang Shuai was originally planning to go with him, but before he left, he was stopped by assistant coach Christopoulos, saying that Gong Luming had something to say to him.

Tang Shuai was confused, but he didn't think much about it.

Gong Luming was in the base office. When Tang Shuai entered, he was holding a tactical test and researching. After Tang Shuai called him, he raised his head and stood up to signal Tang Shuai to sit down, and then went to make his favorite tea.

"Director Gong, I don't drink tea." Tang Shuai felt a little embarrassed when he saw Gong Luming brewing tea every time.

"It's okay, just sit there. I'm used to it, so don't care." Gong Luming said as he made his own tea and brought it to Tang Shuai.

"Thank you, Director Gong." Tang Shuai took the teacup and put it in front of him.

Gong Luming returned to his seat and sat down. After taking a sip of tea, he said, "I called you here today, mainly because I think there is something I might need to explain to you."

"Follow me?" Tang Shuai looked at Gong Luming in confusion, not knowing what he was referring to.

"When I came back from Paris two days ago, Allen told me about your playing time. Do you think it's a little too?" Gong Luming said bluntly.

It turned out to be a matter of playing time. Tang Shuai looked at Gong Luming, nodded, and said, "My physical strength should be able to play for more time, but after all, I have been in the national team a little short, and it may take some time to integrate into the team. I think Director Gong is probably because of this consideration."

"Haha..." After hearing what Tang Shuai said, Gong Luming couldn't help laughing for a while, and then said, "You kid are also modest. To tell you the truth, I did have this concern before playing the first game, but when the first game is over, I think this concern can be completely eliminated."

"Then?" Tang Shuai looked puzzled. If it weren't for what he thought, then why did Gong Luming limit his playing time?

It's definitely not a matter of trust, otherwise he wouldn't have to go to the United States to recruit him in person.

"It's not easy to play in our Olympics." Gong Luming did not continue to answer, but suddenly said with emotion, "The Olympic grouping came out as early as last month. Now we already know that the opponents we are in the same group include the United States, Australia, and Venezuela. I don't have much to say that these teams are not on the same level as Asian teams, let alone the top two in our group, France, Canada, Serbia, and Greece are likely to be in the same group as us."

"So..." Gong Luming said with a bitter smile, "We are the bottom team of this group, and anyone with a discerning eye can see this."

After hearing what Gong Luming said, Tang Shuai was helpless. Among these opponents, Venezuela in the US Championships was probably a bit of a start. The strength of the first or two players in the sacking competition was definitely not weaker than Australia. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is difficult to win.

"It is precisely because of this that the Olympics above did not give me specific indicators." Gong Luming said, picking up the teacup and taking a sip of tea, then saying with a bright look in his eyes, "But I don't think so. It took us three years to get out of the predicament. How much effort did it take to enter the Olympics? Who would really be willing to be a sparring coach? I want to win, especially after I invited you to join the team, I set my goal in the quarterfinals, or even go further in history. I have ambitions, and I don't want to hide this from you."

After hearing what Gong Luming said, Tang Shuai said with a wry smile: "Director Gong, you are not ambition, but confidence."

"Haha, it's all the same. This is why I didn't arrange a lot of time for you to play in Europe, and I won't even arrange too much time for you in the warm-up match later." Gong Luming said as he looked straight at Tang Shuai and said, "I don't want to expose you too early."
