There is no doubt that this is an extremely bold decision. You should know that Guo Ailun was one of the absolute heroes and core members of the Chinese team to win the championship in the Asian Championships, but now he has put him on the bench in the Olympic Games.

However, judging from Guo Ailun's actions of talking and laughing with his teammates, he does not seem to be resistant to this decision.

In fact, as he usually shows, Guo Ailun is a very straightforward person and can make any sacrifices for the team's victory.

There is also good news for this game. Zhao Jiwei will also make his Olympic debut. Although he was selected for the national team before, Gong Luming has not allowed him to play for protection. Perhaps Gong Luming chose to let Guo Ailun's substitute also has a lot to do with Zhao Jiwei's comeback.

Players from both sides appeared on the stage, and under the gaze of more than 30,000 people on the scene, the game between both sides officially started.

Yi Jianlian suppressed Baynes to get the first chance to attack for the Chinese team.

Australia is good at physical confrontation and has many small movements. Gong Luming and Tang Shuai are well aware of this. After Tang Shuai carried the ball to the frontcourt, he did not pull Zhou Qi to the three-point line as before. Instead, he made a tactical gesture to Yi Jianlian and asked him to pick-and-roll at the top of the arc.

Yi Jianlian raised it, but when the pick-and-roll happened, Australia showed a fierce playing style. The blocked Delavidova hit Yi Jianlian a lot, and Yi Jianlian almost got angry, but fortunately, after the pick-and-roll was formed, Tang Shuai had already rushed into the inside line quickly.

Anderson and Ingles, who were inside, immediately made up for defense.

Tang Shuai saw the opportunity and passed it to Zhou Qi on the right wing in seconds. Zhou Qi used the ball and jumped to dunk.

At this moment, Bains completely ignored the danger and jumped up and pulled Zhou Qi down.

Zhou Qi's expression was ferocious, and he suddenly threw Baynes away when he landed on the ground.

Baines' acting skills flew up and immediately raised his hands up, indicating that he was not a malicious foul.

Tang Shuai frowned. It turns out that Australians have no restrained heart at all in this style.

The referee finally gave an ordinary foul.

Zhou Qi shook his arm and walked towards the free throw line. It was obvious that this deadlift was definitely not very good.

One of them hits two free throws, which may affect the feel after being forced to pull.

When Zhou Qi was free throwing, Tang Shuai asked Zhai Xiaochuan and Zhao Haoyan to come together and reminded them to pay attention to protecting themselves.

The Australian team's offense, Mills made a pass from Baynes in seconds after breaking through. Baynes's close shot was interfered with Zhou Qi and slipped out of the basket, and the rebound was captured by Yi Jianlian.

Without Bogut, the Chinese team's double towers are full of deterrence in the inside.

Tang Shuai re-held the ball and advanced to the frontcourt, and the tactics were still exactly the same as before. Tang Shuai entered the inside line, but this time only Anderson assisted in defense. After seeing it, he did not hesitate and directly activated the Ai exclusive OSover package. After a cross step, Anderson was shaken so hard that he could not find the north. He followed with a low-handed layup and scored the ball steadily.

The Australian team turned around and played Mills.

As the Spurs' substitute point guard, Mills is definitely strong. Now that he breaks into the inside, he immediately attracts double-teams from Zhai Xiaochuan and Yi Jianlian. He sees the opportunity and passes it to David Anderson who reaches the outside in one second.

Anderson has played for the Rockets before and is an outside line with a three-pointer ability. After receiving the ball, he directly made a three-pointer.

"Bang!"

Perhaps it wasn't hot at the beginning, Anderson's nearly empty three-pointer jumped out of the basket.

Zhou Qi jumped high and grabbed the rebound.

Tang Shuai advanced with the ball, and this time he attacked Zhou Qi, and then accelerated and broke into the inside. Baynes rushed up this time. Tang Shuai slowed down and accelerated, waiting to get to Baynes, and then turned around and shot the board.

Baines is tall and big, and his speed is completely incomparable to Shuai Tang, so he was directly cleaned.

Tang Shuai scored another layup!

5-0, completely different from the past matchups, the Chinese team took the initiative on the court at the beginning.

"Position, hold your position!" Lemanis shouted to the Australian players. As a "defense-winning" team, he obviously could not tolerate the team's poor performance on the defensive end.

A strange look flashed in Dalawidova's eyes. The main reason for the Chinese team's lead was Tang Shuai, who was the one he defended.

When the Australian team's offense was not strong, Mills directly chose to do it alone this time. With Baynes' pick-and-roll, he flew to the basket and squeezed away with his back, which was a shot from the board.

However, he obviously underestimated the strength of the Chinese team's inside line. After a battle with the French team, the players' enthusiasm changed qualitatively. Yi Jianlian came first and directly slapped Mills with a big shot!

After the rebound bounced back, it fell back into Mills's hand. Mills stuck out his butt, pushed Yi Jianlian away, and chose to take action again.

But the tragic thing is that as soon as he got up, Zhou Qi's big shot also came towards him.

This time it was completely frontal and he flew his shot out of the field directly.

The fans at the scene suddenly burst into cheers, and the Chinese team played completely as a strong team at the beginning.

Domestic fans who stayed up late to watch football were so excited that they were no longer sleepy. Before, when did the Chinese team perform such a wonderful performance in the confrontation with the Australian team?

"I'm really stupid now. Can't we take it lightly?" Ke Fan couldn't help but tease him in Tencent's live broadcast room.

Australia's sideline ball, Ingles' mid-range shot jumped out under Zhai Xiaochuan's strict defense, and their first five shots jumped out.

Zhai Xiaochuan turned around and grabbed the rebound, and then threw it into Tang Shuai's hand. Tang Shuai quickly advanced with the ball, attracting double teams in the middle, and then passed it to Zhao Haoyan on the right in one second.

Because of Tang Shuai's offensive restraint, he can be said to be completely empty at this moment.

Zhao Haoyan didn't hesitate at all, and threw it away with his hand, his confidence was simply exploding.

"Swish!"

Three-pointers accurately land the pocket!

For a pitcher, what you need is confidence, and Zhao Haoyan undoubtedly has this.

8 to 0!

The Chinese team completely beat the Australian at the beginning.

Lemanis on the sidelines finally couldn't bear it anymore and reached out to call for a timeout. Even when he took the professional team to play a warm-up match with the Chinese team, he was not as embarrassed as before.

On the Australian team's bench, Lemanis mercilessly scolded the Australian team members to the point of being bloody.

At the end of the timeout, all the Australian players reached out and pressed their fists, obviously they were already ruthless.

After the timeout, the Australians could clearly feel that the unball confrontation between the two sides was increasing, and in a short while, there was a scene of people turning over and over.

After Ingles broke through, a dark elbow hit Zhai Xiaochuan in the chest. After knocking Zhai Xiaochuan away, his low-handed layup finally won the first point of the game for the Australian team.

Zhai Xiaochuan was almost breathed by the elbow, and turned around and went to the referee to argue.

The referee ignored him. The main reason why the Australians can maintain this style of play and have always maintained a good record is that their small moves are very hidden.

For example, Ingles is the absolute core of the Australian team's Olympic Games in the past few Olympics, and his international competitions are booming. However, when the Jazz team was calling for the more strict NBA, his skills were not fully utilized and he could only become a marginal person.

Zhai Xiaochuan did not receive a response from the referee and became very depressed.

When Tang Shuai saw this scene, he went over and patted him on the shoulder, said a few words in his ear, then pointed to the scoreboard again, indicating that his team was still ahead, and his mood eased a little.

Tang Shuai is very mentally stubborn at this time. The more you get into the Australian team's style, the more you get into him, the more you will eventually bring yourself to his rhythm. However, if you don't get into him too much, but instead play steadily to widen the score, no matter how many small moves you have, they won't work.

He pushed the ball to the frontcourt, signaling Zhou Qi to receive the ball from the outside, and ran to the outside of the three-point line on the right wing.

The Australian team had a very strong tendency to confront each other at this time. As far as Tang Shuai cut, Delavidova hit him at least three or four times, and there were no small movements on his hands.

If it were someone else, he would have been impatient to do it. Tang Shuai ignored it and reached out to make a requested position. When Zhou Qi passed the ball high, he accelerated after receiving the ball and directly pressed Delavidova to score a layup.

In terms of height, Tang Shuai does not take advantage, but he has an absolute advantage in strength. It is not realistic for Delavidova to take advantage of the move.

To put it another way, he had known for a long time that Delavedova could not withstand him, so he chose to ignore his defense. The latter was so angry that he gritted his teeth but was helpless.

When he retreated, Tang Shuai looked at Delavedova with a playful look: I just like you who are unhappy with me but can't do anything to me.

After returning to halftime, Tang Shuai specially pulled Zhou Qi to give him some advice.

Ingles wanted to re-use the Australian team's attack. After hitting Zhai Xiaochuan again, he jumped up and wanted to have a dunk.

But just as he jumped, a dark shadow flew over from the side.

Zhou Qi's big hand slapped directly at the ball in Ingles' hand.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

The two sounds were remembered one after another, and Ingles pressed his hands heavily on the basket, but the ball in his hand had already been blown away by Zhou Qi.

Zhou Qi got another block.

The fans at the scene cheered in the moment of blocking the shot. This rookie from the Chinese team presented a very ornamental hotpot feast to the fans at this Olympics.

Ingles looked shocked. He didn't seem to expect the ball to be blocked. In contrast, Zhou Qi had a calm expression, as if what he had done just now was just a simple task.

Australia sent a sideline ball. After receiving the ball, Delavidova rushed straight to the basket. She pushed Zhou Qi secretly with her left hand and then pushed the ball up with her right hand, preparing for a positive response.

In basketball games, the action of first and then ball is mostly called a foul, but international games do not have multi-angle cameras like NBA, but rely more on the referee's eyes. For veterans like Delavidova, he had long known that this angle is the blind spot of the referee.

The referee did not sound a whistle.

Delavidova showed a hint of excitement on her face. If this ball was entered, it would definitely improve the morale of the Australian team.

But before he could laugh, he saw the fingertips of one hand covering the ball he was shooting. The basketball changed its movement trajectory and directly smashed it into his face.
Chapter completed!
