Chapter 1347 China-Pakistan warm-up match

This is the hotel arranged for the Brazil team.

A group of Brazilian team players were wearing slippers, lying on the spacious sofa with satisfied expressions on their faces. Someone exclaimed: "Look at the host, and see that the hotel arranged for us is comfortable."

"Yes." Someone immediately echoed, "Thinking of the Rio Olympics we hosted in 16, what does the Olympic Village look like? It's really hard to describe. I'm even embarrassed to see it myself."

"One thing is not so good. They actually prepared western food for us. I want to eat Chinese food. Chinese food is so delicious."

Everyone was emotional.

Brazil's economy is far inferior to China's. Compared with China, there are also gaps in various infrastructure facilities, including the overall planning capabilities of some departments. The Olympic Village built by Brazil for the Rio Olympics was really shabby.

Now that the Brazilian team has arrived in China, they live in a star hotel. The treatment is completely different from that of the Chinese men's basketball team in Rio.

Seeing that everyone was still talking about it, the veteran Barbosa frowned slightly, and said: "Okay, we are here to compete, not to enjoy. Tomorrow is the warm-up match against the Chinese team. Please cheer me up."

Varejao next to him also spoke out immediately, with a serious tone: "The Chinese men's basketball team is not a weak team anymore, we still have to be careful. Although we are not in the same group as them, with the current strength of the Chinese men's basketball team, There will be no problem qualifying for the group stage, and there may not be a chance to meet them in the knockout round."

Both Barbosa and Varejao are veterans who have represented Brazil in four World Cups (previously known as the World Championships). They are the spiritual leaders of the team, and they are big brothers. The two opened their mouths one after another, and the others could not help but restrain themselves. Laziness turned serious.

Moreover, what they said was the truth - the current Chinese team is no longer Wuxia Amon!

"Meng Yun."

"Xiang Long."

These two names appeared in the minds of the Brazilian players, and each of them couldn't help frowning, with strong fear in their hearts.

The Brazilian team is strong as a whole, strong because they have both old, middle-aged and young people, and a reasonable lineup, but in fact there are no "star players", and no one can compare with Meng Yun and Xiang Long.

The three potential rookies, Bruno Capocolo, Jago dos Santos and Marcos Lozada are even more flustered at the moment. Marcos Lozada was drafted by the Eagles in this year's draft After being selected, he has not really entered the NBA, but he has already learned some stories from many NBA players.

Mainly about Meng Yun.

These people all sent the same message to him - Meng Yunqiang is terrible!
At the thought of facing Meng Yun, the newcomers couldn't help but feel nervous, their hearts beating, and they felt uneasy.

Seeing that the atmosphere suddenly became dull, Barbosa smiled and said relaxedly: "Don't be too nervous. Although the Chinese team has Meng Yun and Xiang Long, they are indeed very strong, but they are the only ones who are strong." .Our advantage lies in our balance and our overall strength. Take it easy, we will play hard and take it seriously in tomorrow's game, but don't worry, I believe we can win."

"Ah."

"We can win."

Everyone responded one after another, but no matter how they heard it, they felt that there was not much confidence in their voices.

Barbosa and Varejao looked at each other, feeling helpless. They thought their teammates were too lazy and reminded everyone, but unexpectedly, it made everyone so nervous.

Isn't it Meng Yun + Xiang Long?
Well, I have to admit, they are really strong.

at the same time.

For the Chinese men's basketball team, everyone has just finished training.

Director Gong gathered everyone around him and said: "Tomorrow is the warm-up match against the Brazil team. I hope you will play these two games against the Brazil team as official matches, and show great strength while being careful not to get injured." Seriously. After the game against Brazil is the Basketball World Cup, we have no chance to train again, so we must seize the opportunity of these two games, understand?"

"Understood." Everyone agreed in unison.

This warm-up match with the Brazilian team is not only training, but also a test for the Chinese men's basketball team. Director Gong also wants to know what level the team's current strength has reached?
On August 8, the Chinese men's basketball team ushered in a warm-up match with the Brazilian men's basketball team in Guangzhou.

Although this game was just a warm-up match, it still attracted many fans. After all, the Brazilian team is not weak, and I believe it will be more interesting than the four-nation match.

In fact, many fans don't care whether the game is exciting, they just come for Meng Yun and Xiang Long.

"Meng Yun, I love you."

"Champion, Champagne"

In the auditorium, fans held signs and banners and shouted loudly.

Meng Yun raised his hand and waved at the auditorium, smiling slightly, while Xiang Long was expressionless, with a cool look on his face, but the fans seemed to know this, and didn't think there was anything wrong with it, some girls were on the contrary Deputy Xizi held her heart and shouted "so cool".

The eyes of a group of Brazilian players fell on Meng Yun and Xiang Long. Meng Yun grinned at them, looking harmless to humans and animals.

However, in the eyes of the Brazilian team, this smile is a bit...not good!

"beep"

The game officially begins.

Players from both sides came to the court. The Chinese team started with Xiang Long, Yi Jianlian, Abu Du, Fang Shuo and Meng Yun.

This is also the arrangement made by Director Gong after careful consideration, because with Meng Yun around, there is no need for a point guard like Zhao Jiwei, and an offensive guard like Guo Ailun who sticks to the ball is also not very necessary. His advantage is excellent Breakthrough ability can open the situation at some times, but with Meng Yun there, Guo Ailun is not needed to open the situation at all. What Meng Yun needs around him is actually a pitcher.

Although Fang Shuo's overall view is not as good as Zhao Jiwei's and Guo Ailun's breakthrough ability is not as good, but he is still balanced and has a good three-point shooting ability, which is a good match with Meng Yun.

The small forward position is also based on the same considerations. With an all-round guard like Meng Yun, it would be a waste not to arrange more shooters, especially three-point shooters. Abudu and Kelan can actually shoot three-pointers, but Abudu is better at shooting three-pointers. Empty cuts can have more changes, so let him start.

Needless to say the insider, Xiang Long and Yi Jianjian.

Brazil sent center Anderson Varejao, power forward Augusto Lima, small forward Marcos de Sousa, and guards Marcelo Huertas and Rafael Lu. s.

First, it was a jump ball. Varejao obviously couldn't jump Xiang Long. After all, he was in his thirties.

Coming to the front court, Huertas greeted him.
