After returning from the second quarter, Harris replaced Yao Ming and replaced Sun Hao and Yi Jianlian.

His tactical thinking is very clear, so that the Chinese team can maintain strength on the court as much as possible, and avoid being pulled apart by the US team at this stage of substitute.

This practice has also proved to be very successful.

After halftime, the Chinese team was 39-40, only one point behind the United States team to end the half.

It's not just offense, but the score of this American team is limited to 40 points in the first half. This is really a tough fight.

However, in the second half, the Chinese team's physical fitness began to fail to keep up.

There is no way to do this. If you want to maintain the intensity on the field, the core players of the Chinese team must play more.

More physical activity means more energy consumption.

Not to mention the beginning of the adrenaline soaring, so the high-intensity body confronted.

Unless you have enough leads in the first half as you did in the Dream Team.

But facing this Avengers, it is not that easy to do.

After the physical fitness declined, the Chinese team could barely keep up on the offensive end, but the bigger problem was the defensive end.

The US team has a lot of physical fitness and its offensive intensity remains unabated.

The Chinese team's defense intensity has been reduced, so their scoring cannot be held back.

In the end, despite the Chinese team doing their best, they still lost to the United States 77-88 and failed to get a good start.

On the US team, Kobe scored the highest 17 points in the game.

However, he also showed his discomfort to the fiba game when he participated in the Olympics for the first time, with only 1 of 6 shots from outside the three-point line.

Such performance also made fans on social media unable to help but sigh:

Sun Ke staged a peak showdown in the NBA, but when he arrived at the fiba stadium, he was paying tribute to each other!

In addition to Kobe, Anthony scored 15 points, James scored 12 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 blocks, Howard scored 6 points and 6 rebounds, and Garnett scored 2 points and 5 rebounds.

On the Chinese side, Yao Ming scored 16 points, 11 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks, Yi Jianlian scored 12 points, and Sun Yue scored 6 points, 3 rebounds and 2 blocks.

Sun Hao stepped onto the field again a year later, with a normal feel, making 4 of 11 shots and scored 11 points, but gave 11 assists, which made people shine.

In fiba's arena, it is not easy to assist in double assists.

Although he lost the game, the Chinese fans at the scene still gave applause to the men's basketball team after the game.

Those who haven't watched the game may say that the men's basketball team performed poorly tonight, but those who have watched the game know how strong this American team is.

It was already quite good that the Chinese team played like this when Sun Hao came back a year without making a shot.

After the game, the two teams held a post-match handshake.

"I'm waiting for you in the final."

Kobe and Sun Hao whispered for a while while hugging.

As an old opponent in the NBA, Kobe obviously knows that Sun Hao in front of him is not his true level.

Moreover, Sun Hao didn't seem to have performed much tonight, but his ability to connect the team is much stronger than before he retired.

He guessed that Sun Hao had a lot of training when he was with Scarlett at home, and then he practiced it.

"See you in the final."

A "misunderstanding", Sun Hao didn't know what Kobe was thinking, but he still responded to Kobe.

After this day's game, there was a lot of talk about this game on social media.

"Sun can come back! We'll be back next season!"

"It is also good to accompany your wife. Sun must be bored thinking about how to pass the ball when he is with his wife."

"You guys are gentle. You really make Sun and Yao frustrated. The two of you really join the same team together. You will have to be beaten again when you return to the NBA!"

"Yao: I couldn't think of a reason to leave Washington. Now thank you, I've found it for me!"

"Los Angeles Chinese Team? NBA Finale 2.0?"

"Howard: Shut up!"

"Hahaha, let's talk about it seriously. I think Sun hasn't played basketball for more than a year, and his hands are still a little bit old. If he gets back his feel, it's hard to say about this game."

"I don't think Sun can find the feeling of the game so quickly. You have to know that Jordan was killed in his first comeback, and Gods are like this, let alone people."

"After that being said, the Chinese team still plays back and forth with the United States in sun's performance, and this team continues to become stronger."

"I really like the defender named Sun Yue, blocking shots and three-pointers. Come to Denver quickly and find my emperor!"

"Just envy it! Sun Yue will not leave Los Angeles!"

"When Sun Yue continues to perform like this, I think Phil Jackson will definitely give him more playing time next season."

...

This is the reaction of the fans, but some players' ideas are a little different.

For example, the Greek team's "European Kobe" Spanoris.

After entering the NBA, Span Norris first won the NBA championship in the 2004-05 season with the Lakers, and performed well.

However, no one expected that it was already his peak. Later, he was traded to 76ers and went to Houston team without renewing the contract.

Houston has always been a bottom team, but he still didn't get much chance there. After playing for a season, he was so angry that he returned to Europe.

After returning to Europe, he was in a deep and deep state of affairs and naturally had some resentment towards the NBA.

In the first game of this year's Olympics, Greece defeated the Russian team 87 to 64, which greatly increased his confidence.

The next match for Greece is Team USA.

Spanoris was interviewed before the game and was asked if he was afraid of such a strong opponent. His answer was very tough.

"The Greek team is not afraid of any opponent. If you play in the NBA and are a superstar, it does not mean that you are the most powerful. Basketball is a team sport. They (the United States) play together for too short and have too poor tacit understanding. This can be seen from their game against the Chinese team."

What Span Norris said, well, is not without reason.

The Olympic basketball group match is two days and one match, one day for men and one day for women.

The men's basketball team competition continued to compete the next day after one off-season.

The first game of the morning was between the United States and Greece.

The whole team of the Greek team was full of morale. After four quarters, they suffered a bloodbath of the United States 61-101...

With high-intensity and compression defense, even European team basketball, the offensive end becomes a bit awkward.

Not to mention the bombardment of the offensive end, the Greek team was powerless to fight back.

In the face of the absolute talent gap, the team seemed a little powerless.

After this game, the fans did not feel sorry for Span Norris being slapped in the face, but were more of the strength of the Chinese team.

Even when facing such a strong American team, the Chinese team lost 11 points.

In the afternoon, the Chinese team also ushered in the group stage, Russia.

The Russian team lost to Greece in the first big score, and the promotion situation was already very serious, and the goal of playing against the Chinese team must be to win.

You should know that in terms of style, Russia is good at confrontation and restrains the Chinese team's playing style.

But this game is not the case at all!

The Chinese team suppressed the Russian team at the beginning and led the way, eventually defeating the Russian team 91-71.

Although Sun Hao still couldn't find the touch, he scored only 5 goals and scored 14 points in 14 shots, but he gave 9 assists.

Correspondingly, the "hot" state of the rest of the Chinese team.

After this game, fans finally realized something:

The ratings of fiba are very professional!

The strength of the two Chinese and American teams is naturally one level higher than that of other teams.
