Chen Yan's statistics tonight are still good, with 31 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists.
On August 8, the Chinese men’s basketball team faced Australia, its third opponent in the group stage.
With the lessons learned from the last game, the Chinese men's basketball team did not underestimate the enemy, nor did it dare to underestimate the enemy.
Although there is no Bogut, the strength of this Australian men's basketball team is definitely not weak.
The official website of the Australian Basketball Association wrote an article saying, "The Australian men's basketball team will work hard to win the first Olympic medal in the history of Australian basketball."
From this passage we can see Australia’s expectations in this Olympics.
"Playing on behalf of your country is definitely the greatest honor in a basketball player's career." Australian men's basketball guard Patrick Mills said in a pre-match interview.
Patrick Mills has just represented the Spurs in the championship. Facing Chen Yan again in a short period of time is a nightmare for any player, but as the core of the Australian men's basketball team, Patrick Mills understands that he must stand firm. The role he plays in the national team is completely different from that of the Spurs.
In fact, many NBA players are like this. They play an unknown supporting role in the NBA, but once they arrive in the national team, they suddenly become the core. It is not that these players are not good enough, but a problem of tactical resource tilt.
This is the second time Mills has represented the Australian team in the Olympics. The last time he was in Beijing, he was only 17 years old.
Brown, the head coach of the Australian team, also returned from the Spurs. Last season, he served as Popovich's assistant and helped the team reach the Western Conference Finals.
Brown said: "This is a very strong team, we have good confrontation and fighting spirit. All Australia will be proud of us."
The Australian men's basketball team played bloody well in the first half, and Mills broke out, scoring 13 points and 5 assists.
At the end of the first half, the Chinese men's basketball team led 48 to 40.
This score is not safe enough, everyone knows it.
Chen Yan's halftime statistics were 15 points, 4 assists and 4 rebounds.
This data is perfect and comprehensive for other players.
But for Chen Yan, it is a bit too low-key.
All Chinese fans were looking forward to one thing during the halftime break. They were looking forward to Chen Yan breaking out and defeating the Australian men's basketball team in one fell swoop.
"The Australian men's basketball team played tougher than expected. As two weaker opponents in the same group, I thought Australia would not cause any trouble to the Chinese team in the group stage, but their performance tonight really gave everyone a hard time. Surprised." Director Xu said.
"There really are no underdogs in the Olympics." Zhang Lili sighed.
The second half started quickly.
All the fantasies of Chinese fans happened.
Chen Yan started to exert force in the first round.
After completely stealing the ball from Brad Newley, Chen Yan surged all the way to the frontcourt.
Against Mills' defense, Chen Yan hit a chasing three-pointer!
"Shh!"
51:40.
Mills was too short, and Chen Yan completely ignored his defense.
Chen Yan's goal immediately made the fans feel that his state was different in the second half.
Chen Yan retreated halfway and suddenly turned back because he penetrated Mills' passing route.
With a flying dive, Chen Yan successfully stole the ball!
After stealing the ball, Chen Yan threw it to Liu Wu with one hand and ran towards the basket.
Liu 5 threw the ball with both hands!
Liu Wu is good at passing the ball. Among the current Chinese men's basketball team, he is probably the only one besides Chen Yan.
Chen Yan took advantage of the situation and took off, soaring into the clouds and mist!
"boom!"
Dunk dunks!
53:40.
The Australian men's basketball team quickly called a timeout.
Less than 30 seconds into the third quarter, they were blindsided by the Chinese men's basketball team.
After returning from the timeout, Mills took the lead.
He understood that he couldn't go on like this. Sometimes the collapse only took a minute or two. At this time, someone had to stand up!
If this were the Spurs, Duncan, Ginobili, and Parker would all have priority above him.
But in this Australian men's basketball team, he is the team's best choice.
Mills moved sideways with the ball, and two Australian insiders continued to cover him.
When Mills moved 45 degrees to the right of the three-point line, he sensed an opportunity and suddenly took a shot.
"Shh!"
53:43.
Mills made a fist with one hand, this ball is very crucial!
The offensive round of the Chinese men's basketball team.
Chen Yan passed the ball from Liu Wu at the top of the arc.
He is ready to do it himself!
The nerves of the Australian men's basketball team suddenly became alert.
Their head coach is Spurs assistant coach Brown, and this guy knows how terrifying Chen Yan is.
He immediately stood up and shouted: "Double-team! Double-team!"
Mills and Brad Newley immediately surrounded him.
Chen Yan did not choose to pass the ball.
He took a step back from the ball very calmly and got out of the space first.
After a little observation, Chen Yan decided to do it himself!
Chen Yan kicked the ground with his left foot and suddenly rushed to the right!
In the NBA, Chen Yan often used this trick to break double teams.
Brad Newley quickly followed up, but Mills next to him couldn't keep up. Brad Newley's body kept blocking him.
Chen Yan suddenly pulled out his hand at a 60-degree angle from the three-point line!
This ball also has a little drift.
Brad Newley failed to guard and watched the ball fall into the basket.
"Shh!"
The Nets are blooming!
56:43.
Chen Yan scored 8 points in a row!
"Come on, come on! This is the smell!"
"This three-pointer is too difficult!"
"It's not difficult for Chen Yan!"
"Abnormally accurate!"
The emotions of Chinese fans were once again mobilized by Chen Yan.
Compared with his stability in the first half, Chen Yan played very unreasonably in the second half.
However, it is unreasonable for fans to like him!
After landing, Chen Yan kept nodding at Mills.
This is a response as well as a provocation.
In the NBA, Mills is a role player. In the international arena, he was suppressed by Chen Yan.
Under the leadership of Chen Yan, the Chinese men's basketball team penetrated Australia's defense in the third quarter.
The fourth quarter turned into garbage time.
The final score was fixed at 91-75.
The Australian men's basketball team collapsed to the end, and the Chinese men's basketball team won three consecutive group stage victories.
Chen Yan scored 40 points, 7 assists and 4 rebounds in this game, and this was despite him not playing much in the fourth quarter.
On August 8, the Chinese men’s basketball team faced a powerful opponent, Brazil.
Brazil's overall strength is not as good as Spain and Russia, but it has also caused certain difficulties for the Chinese men's basketball team.
In the end, the Chinese men's basketball team won the game 81-72.
Chen Yan scored 19 points and 9 assists in this game. The protagonist tonight was Arab League. He made 13 of 10 shots and scored 24 points with free throws.
The last opponent of the Chinese men's basketball team in the group stage is the host United Kingdom.
England had suffered four consecutive defeats before this, and they were like a mascot in this group.
Yunus intended to preserve his strength and control the playing time of several main players, but the Chinese men's basketball team still won the opponent 71-59 without any blood.
The opponent of the Chinese men's basketball team is Lithuania, which is fourth in Group A.
Lithuania is a strong enemy, but compared to the other opponents in Group A, the United States, France, and Argentina, Lithuania is already the most ideal opponent.
