On August 8, Athens time, the Chinese Olympic delegation won two more gold medals. Weightlifting Zhang Guozheng won the men's 18kg gold medal, and badminton Zhang Ning won the women's singles gold medal.

Although the Chinese team has gradually been surpassed by the United States and Russia in the gold medal list as track and field and swimming and other gold medal events gradually started, but generally speaking, the level of Chinese athletes has indeed been greatly improved in this Olympic Games.

On August 8, Athens time, the match between the Chinese men's basketball team and the Argentine men's basketball team officially started at 19 pm.

Although it was already one o'clock in the morning on the 20th in BJ, the ratings of this game were still very high.

The Chinese men's basketball team and the Argentine men's basketball team played against each other in the Diamond Cup match before the start of the Olympic Games. The Chinese team won the opponent with Liu Han's outstanding performance. However, in terms of overall strength, apart from Liu Han and Yao Min Apart from this strong point, the Chinese team does not have an advantage in other positions.

The progress of the game also confirmed this point. After the opening, the Chinese team was a little nervous. During the defense, the Argentine players used their speed advantage to attack the Chinese team's inside line frequently. Yao Min got two fouls in the first 4 minutes of the game.

The start was unfavorable and the players' performance was sluggish. Even if Liu Han wanted to use himself to drive the team's offense, it would not help, because even if Liu Han passed the ball to the open space, the players of the Chinese team still missed the shot.

Yao Min was troubled by a foul and went off to rest. The Chinese team was at a disadvantage on the inside. Wang Zhizhi was once suppressed by the Argentine men's basketball center Oberto, and Bateer, who was replaced, failed to show his ability. His shortcoming of moving too slowly was frequently seized by the Argentine team.

In desperation, Liu Han could only increase his offense. He used his strong firepower on the three-point line to attract the Argentine team to expand their defense, and then used his speed advantage to hit the basket.

At the end of the first quarter, the Argentine team led the Chinese team by 25 points 22 to 3. Liu Han scored 18 points alone. If it weren't for his outstanding performance, maybe the Chinese team could not even score in the first quarter. double digits.

Faced with such a situation, Liu Han couldn't help becoming a little angry. Some players of the Chinese team acted like they were walking on the court, without any fighting spirit at all. This was what Liu Han didn't like to see the most.

Li Rui also had a gloomy face. He didn't know what these players were thinking. On such an occasion, in such a game, someone would be so lax.

After the start of the second quarter, Li Rui decisively replaced some players who were not stable. At the same time, he replaced some more active young players. Liu Han continued the game regardless of rest.

After the game restarted, although the young players of the Chinese team were a little immature, their attitude towards the game was very positive, and they worked very hard to complete their tasks no matter in defense or offense.

With the help of such young players, Liu Han began to open up completely. He no longer rushed like a lonely hero, but used himself to attract double-teams and then support the pass.

The Chinese team finally stabilized the situation. At the same time, they also used good efficiency to tie the score and overtake it.

In the second half of the second quarter, Liu Han took a rest, but Li Rui did not change into the starting lineup. Except for Yao Min, the other starting lineups were all pressed to the bench. Only a group of young people and Yao Min were playing .

Although the strange rotation changes of the Chinese team made CCTV's live broadcast guests aware that something was wrong, it is still very happy to be able to suppress the opponent and suppress most of the fans.

After the third quarter, Liu Han returned to the court. He and Yao Min suppressed the Argentine team with one outside and one inside. The pick-and-roll cooperation between the two became more and more tacit.

With Liu Han's support, Yao Min, who was able to shoot mid-range and rush up without Argentine players being able to stop him, finally showed his potential as a top center forward.

At the end of the third quarter, the Chinese team led Argentina by 7 points.

Entering the fourth quarter, the youngsters of the Chinese team were a little lacking in physical strength, but Li Rui still didn't change into the starting lineup. He was determined to give these scumbags a little color.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Argentine team created a lot of counterattacks, but they were still unable to defend against the attacks of Yao Min and Liu Han.

Although Yao Min does not have O'Neal's dominance at the basket, he is superior in his mid-range shooting, which makes it very difficult for the Argentine team to return. After all, their defensive style is also the European basketball's zone defense and shrinking basket. defense.

Unable to guard against the Chinese team's attack, the Argentine team lost the opportunity to catch up with the score. In the focus battle of Group A of the men's basketball group match, the Chinese team defeated the Argentine team 98-92.

此役刘汉砍下三双，32分17助攻以及13篮板的数据展现出了他顶级球星的实力，而姚敏也砍下了25分外加12个篮板球。

After winning the game, as soon as Li Rui returned to the station, he named and criticized some people who performed poorly in the game. He very directly said that if he didn't want to play, he could go back to China directly, and he didn't care.

The Chinese men's basketball team, which had secured the quarter-finals in advance, carried out a large-scale personnel rotation in the next two group matches. Some players who obviously didn't work hard were put on the bench, and some young players got a lot of money. Opportunity.

In the match against Italy on August 8, the performance of the Chinese team was average. Both Liu Han and Yao Min played for less than 21 minutes. The rest of the time, the Chinese team was basically in a state of training. In the end, they lost 10 to 78 to the Italian team.
