Before the game began, Team USA was really ready.

For Americans, this is a duel that is not worthy of pride if you win, but you lose it and you will never be able to recover.

Before the game started, Lao K and the players of the team gave motivational speeches.

Lao K is 60 years old this year, and he is not the kind of passionate coach.

Most of the time I was silent when I was on the sidelines, holding my hands and looking at the development of the situation on the field calmly and making accurate judgments.

But this time, he said to all the players in the most serious words: "Tonight's opponent is Bruce Lee. Think about it carefully, what would happen if you lose tonight."

Lao K's speech is very simple, just one sentence.

You think, you think about it carefully.

I was so surprised that the whole team was sweating.

If I lose tonight's game, will it still be to China and to Bruce Lee? How can I live my life in the future?

The environment in NBA is getting worse and worse. If you lose to this guy in the Olympics, the public opinion environment will definitely not be able to see.

The American media is just watching the excitement without bothering.

It is normal for Team USA to win, but losing is called big news, especially losing to China, which is really a big deal.

Coach K really perfectly grasped the players' psychology.

No one can lose to Li Liang!

You said that in the NBA game, this guy is a big shot everywhere, and he specifically looks for strong teams to help the poor. He will lead to the wealth first and then become rich, and it will be fine if he can't beat it.

In the Olympics, the US team is considered to be a gathering of elites. To be honest, the opponent Chinese team will be at the bottom without Li Liang.

If you can't beat this, the US team will become a joke and will make Li Liang's Olympic legend.

This kind of thing is so goosebumps that I can’t think of it all summer.

Therefore, the US team was excited and motivated for a while, and Kevin Durant even volunteered to lead the defense of Li Liang in the whole game.

It is true that brotherly love is deeply, and it is unambiguous to destroy relatives for justice.

When the game began soon, both sides were about to jump the ball, and many Chinese fans came to the scene.

There were not many Chinese in Brazil, but basically this men's basketball final, all the Chinese who could come to Rio were collected.

Li Liang began to wave to the sidelines, and Chinese fans waved the national flag and cheered "Come on China".

Team USA is confused, are you here to play?

You've started to pose?

When the game officially began, Li Liang seemed to be prepared for the intensity of the US team.

He started to pass the ball continuously at the beginning and then focused on defense.

Both sides played a little tightly at the start, and the Chinese team was a little difficult to move under the high-intensity defense of the United States.

Li Liang was double-teamed by Durant and Thompson.

Thompson tops, Durant follows nearby.

Even so, the two of them could not limit Li Liang.

With two passes to his teammates and both teammates made mistakes, Li Liang chose to dribble himself for the third time, entered the three-second zone, and made a quick stop and jump shot, winning the first point of the game.

For a moment, the audience was filled with joy.

Team USA hasn't scored yet.

Maybe it is because your physical condition is too excited and nervous, and a good offense needs to be relaxed.

Team USA missed a continuous jump shot from the outside.

The Chinese team began to relax after Li Liang scored the first goal.

Guo Ailun, Yi Jianlian, and even Wang Zhelin dared to fight, dared to make moves, and dared to take action.

Anyway, I'll give it my best, and this battle is for honor. If you lose, you won, you will make a lot of money.

At the beginning, the Chinese team actually played 8:2 in the United States, which gave people hope for a while.

However, Durant and Anthony's two guns were lit out in time.

The two of them scored a three-pointer each and quickly tied the score.

Although James and Curry did not join the US national team this time, the US team is very stable with Durant and Anthony.

Both of these two people are big killers in terms of playing style and fiba.

This is the fifth time that Anthony has played for the national team and the fourth time that he has participated in the Olympics.

It can be said that Anthony is not the top big star in NBA, but at the national team level, he is a well-deserved big shot.

Anthony's attacker's style of playing is like a fish in the star-studded team.

There are other good players who will take care of how to organize, defend, and support these tasks.

He just needs to use his excellent shooting skills to score.

And in the entire NBA, or the current American team, who is the least afraid of Li Liang, is Anthony.

Anthony has always been a headache for Li Liang in terms of technical style.

Moreover, the two have no grudges in the playoffs and there is no psychological suppression.

So Anthony became more and more courageous in the second quarter, constantly using tentative steps, stopping and jumping at the basket.

His move was very determined, which brought strong confidence to the US team.

The American team should be glad that Anthony came. If James came, although James was stronger, James would lose too much to Li Liang.

Maybe in the final, it will be habitually losing and becoming a Chinese champion legend.

Anthony does not have such a problem at all, and he even has a little psychological advantage to Li Liang.

In the first quarter, Team USA led the Chinese team by 3 points in 28:25.

The Chinese team did play very well.

Under the leadership of Li Liang, every player relaxes and is free of burden or pressure.

Guo Ailun even played dribbling like a butterfly in front of Irving, showing off his show.

Wang Zhelin even used his steps to play Jordan alone at the basket and scored a back-skirt from the bottom line.

If it weren't for Durant, Anthony would be too unsolvable, and the Chinese team might be able to maintain the lead.

By the second quarter, the Chinese team's momentum weakened.

The offensive end is slowly becoming at a disadvantage.

Especially after Li Liang got off the court, some old problems with the Chinese team emerged again.

When you stop the ball in the middle of the game, you have to look for it and find it, and the offense will hesitate.

After all, the gap between the two teams is there.

Without Li Liang, the Chinese team would be the weakest team in this Olympics.

No matter which lineup the United States puts, it is the strongest.

The US team took the opportunity to score a 12:1 wave, and the Chinese team scored 1 point with Yi Jianlian's free throw alone.

Gong Luming immediately called for a timeout and Li Liang made a comeback.

The so-called snake cannot do without a head, Li Liang is the head of the Chinese team.

As soon as he got on, the temperament of the entire team became different.

From June to the national team, they fought from Europe to Beijing, from Beijing to the United States, from the United States to Rio.

The technical level is still the same, and it will not improve in a short period of time.

But with him, the competitive state of the Chinese team is definitely different.

The changes visible to the naked eye, the two teams visible to the naked eye.

After Li Liang returned to the arena, he told his teammates, "Don't look at the score, don't be afraid. We have won this game. Let go of the game and play well. Our goal is not to embarrass people! Don't make mistakes like that just now, don't hesitate anymore. It's better to make a blacksmith than make a mistake."

So, the Chinese team let go of their hands and feet again. Under the leadership of Li Liang, they actually beat the US team 7:0 and approached the score.

Lao K had no choice but to try to keep Durant and Anthony on the court.

There must be one on the field, which serves as a stable output point to relieve offensive pressure.

At the end of the half-time game, the United States led the Chinese team by 9 points 54:45.

Just 9 points behind, there are still some games in the second half.

For the United States, the advantage of 9 points is very dangerous.

The danger is that once they do not score enough points at the critical moment at the last moment of the game, so that the Chinese team will see hope of winning the game, the situation will be bad.

Li Liang will definitely strive for the Olympic champion at all costs.
