Chapter 382 The first in the group advances to the quarterfinals!

After defeating the Greek team and achieving four consecutive victories, the Chinese team started their last match against Angola in the Olympic group match the next day.

The Chinese team played more relaxed in this game. After all, the Angola team, which lost to the United States by more than 40 points yesterday, has zero wins and four losses.

This means that the Angola team has determined a group B elimination spot!
Therefore, in fact, the Angola team has nothing to pursue for their last group match!

Even at the beginning of the game, a large number of Angola players chose to come to the Chinese team to take photos with some players of the Chinese team and ask for autographs.

After the game, many players of the Angola team hoped to exchange jerseys with some players of the Chinese team. Among them, Yao Ming, Xu Lang, Yi Jianlian, Sun Yue, Wang Zhizhi and other main players of the team wanted to exchange jerseys.

Then, the game started and ended in a peaceful and friendly atmosphere!
Of course, although the atmosphere is very friendly, the Chinese team is not friendly at all.

In this game, the Chinese team adjusted the starting lineup, put Yao Ming on the bench, and replaced Moko in the starting lineup!

Jonas's starting lineup adjustment in this way was also a decision made after careful consideration.

On the one hand, it is to allow Yao Ming to recharge his batteries before the start of the knockout round.

After all, Yao Ming, who played all the way to the NBA Finals this year and then seamlessly joined the national team to start training, has to play harder than usual in the past few seasons.

In addition, Yao Ming has reached a weight of 150kg, which not only increases his physical energy consumption, but also slows down his physical recovery speed!

Therefore, in this Olympic Games, Yonas used Yao Ming as much as possible to allow him to get more rest time, maintain physical fitness, and reduce the risk of injury!

On the other hand, coach Yunus intends to try a new lineup to further enrich the tactical system of the Chinese team!
At least for now, facing the opponent of the Angola team, the new lineup of the Chinese team is still pretty good.

At the end of the first quarter, the Chinese team had a 12-point lead. At the end of the half, the Chinese team's lead had expanded to 25 points.

Seeing this lead, Yao Ming, who was sitting on the sidelines wearing a training uniform, knew that he should not have to play today!
This is indeed the case. By the third quarter, the Chinese team started to play better and better. Xu Lang and Yi Jianlian even scored 31 points and 11 rebounds in this game.

Then, at the end of the three quarters, the Chinese team's lead was extended to 40 points!

By this time, the game is over!
In addition, at the beginning of the game, the Angola team almost regarded the players of the Chinese team as idols, which made it really difficult for Xu Lang and others to continue playing in the fourth quarter!

Therefore, in the fourth quarter of the game, although the Angola team did not completely replace their starting lineup, they played with their half-starting and half-substitute lineup.

The Chinese team is still replaced with its own pure substitute lineup!
It's just that, as I said before this Olympics, the strength of the Chinese team's substitute lineup at this time can be ranked among the top two of all participating teams.

Therefore, even in the second half of the fourth quarter, the Angola team has already brought up their starting lineup!
But in the end, at the end of the game, the Chinese team further expanded their lead and won the game with a 45-point lead.

Looking at the Angolan players who still look at themselves like idols after the game, Xu Lang, who scored a triple-double of 35+12+16 in a single game, and Yi Jianlian, who scored 32 points and 15 rebounds in a single game, scored [-] points and [-] rebounds in a single game against the Angola team.

I suddenly feel a little embarrassed!

At the same time, when the Chinese team ended their last group match and won five consecutive victories in the group match, the top eight men's basketball team of this BJ Olympic Games has also been officially confirmed.

The 2008 BJ Olympic Men's Basketball Tournament was divided into two groups. After nine days of fierce confrontation, the top four teams of the ab group were officially determined.

The first is Group A, which is different from what people speculated before the game that Group A would be chaotic.

In the group stage, Group A quickly determined the ownership of the four qualifying places.

At the same time, the Iranian team, which lost all five games in the final group stage, and the Russian team, which only won one game of the Iranian team, finally ended this year's Olympic journey with regret.

However, although Group A has quickly determined its four promotion places, the competition for the ranking in the group is still very fierce among these four teams.

Especially for all the teams in Group A, they don't want to meet the Chinese and American teams prematurely.

Therefore, this also led to the fact that although the competition for promotion places in Group A is not too intense, the competition pressure for the top two is not low at all.

Facts have proved that although the six teams in Group A are not all close in strength, at least the strength gap between the top four teams is very small.

For example, Lithuania, which killed Argentina, lost to Australia, and Australia, which killed Lithuania, lost consecutively to Argentina and Croatia.

In addition, in the battle between the top four teams in Group A, there was no match where the score gap widened to more than 30 points.

Most of the time, the score gap between the top four teams is maintained at about ten.

So in the end, the points between the top four in Group A are also not too big.

Lithuania, the top team in the group, has nine points, and the Australian team, which is fourth in the group, also has eight points.

According to the conclusions of some media, the four teams that qualified in Group A are either very strong or very good.

Finally, the rankings of the four appearing teams in Group A according to the points ranking are as follows:
First place in Group A: Lithuania

Second in Group A: Argentina
Third in Group A: Croatia

Fourth in Group A: Australia

In comparison, Group B is more brutal. First of all, the Chinese team dominated the entire Group B with a record of 0 wins and [-] losses. There is no doubt that they were elected first in Group B.

The second is the US team, which has only lost to the Chinese team, and also crushed the other four B-group teams except the Chinese team with an extremely brutal attitude.

After the loss to China, the U.S. averaged a lead of more than 30 points in the other four games.With a record of four wins and one loss, they secured the second place in Group B.

If it is said that among the teams in Group A, the Russian team and the Iranian team are the unlucky ones who have lost four games.

Then the teams in Group B are the other 4 teams except the Chinese team and the US team. They are all unlucky ones who have lost two games first!

Therefore, compared to the somewhat peaceful competition for promotion places in Group A, the competition for the remaining two promotion places in Group B is obviously much more intense.

In the end, after some battles, the third place in Group B was finally won by the Spanish team, the runner-up of the 2006 World Championships.

After achieving two wins and two losses in the first four games, the Spanish team took an eight-point lead against the German team in the last game, won the last group match, and established itself as the third place in Group B.

The game against the German team can be said to be the most dangerous game that the Spanish team has played so far in this Olympic Games.

Although judging from the score, the Spanish team seems to have won quite easily.

But anyone who has watched the game knows that if Dirk Nowitzki hadn't had enough strength at the last moment of the game, the Spanish team might not have won the game safely.

As soon as the game started, Dirk Nowitzki immediately showed his terrifying shooting ability. At the end of the first quarter, Dirk Nowitzki shot 70% of the shots and scored 16 points in a single quarter!
Directly led the German team to beat the Spanish team by two points at the end of the first quarter in a way that no one expected.

And this is not over yet, in the second quarter, although the Spanish team strengthened the blocking and interference of Dirk Nowitzki's shooting.

But Dirk Nowitzki still hit more than 60% of the shots, and once again scored 14 points in a single quarter.

At the end of the half, Dirk Nowitzki led the German team to a draw with the Spanish team.

In the second half of the game, the Spanish team's inside twin towers exerted their strength at the same time.

Seeing that the score gap between the team and the German team was about to widen, Dirk Nowitzki stood up again.

Three consecutive three-point shots made directly helped the German team, not only tying the gap between the two teams, but also completing the overtake.

In the end, led by Dirk Nowitzki who scored 42 points at the end of the third quarter, the German team not only failed to let the Spanish team clock out of work as many people predicted, but also took a four-point lead at the end of the third quarter.

By this time, everyone thought that the German team was going to complete the counterattack in this game, kill the Spanish team, and strive for the first-line chance to advance to the quarterfinals.

Dirk Nowitzki began to lose his grip.

Because the German team is in the death group, they have to face the world's top teams such as the Chinese team, the US team, and the Spanish team.

Dirk Nowitzki's physical and confrontation consumption in this Olympic Games far exceeds that of any other Olympic Games.

Finally, under the pressure of continuous high-intensity confrontation and intensive schedule, Dirk Nowitzki had physical problems before the start of this game.

Coupled with the first three quarters, Dirk Nowitzki put in a lot of effort on both offense and defense.

This led to Dirk Nowitzki's physical fitness began to decline rapidly after less than 3 minutes into the fourth quarter.

Anyone who has played basketball knows that when the physical fitness drops rapidly and reaches the bottom, whether it is offense or defense, there will be a state of movement deformation.

This allowed Dirk Nowitzki, who had been able to maintain a shooting power above 55% in the first three quarters, to drop directly to below 40% in the fourth quarter.

And the German team has always been a team that relies purely on Dirk Nowitzki.

Now, Dirk Nowitzki, the biggest core of the team, the leading offensive player, has started to misfire, and it is difficult for other players in the entire German team to perform particularly well and stand up to turn the tide.

This led to the Spanish team gradually gaining the upper hand as the game time passed.

First they equalized the score gap between the two teams, and then quickly completed the overtake. By the time of the final attack in the fourth quarter, the Spanish team's lead had reached as much as eight points.

Finally, after Dirk Nowitzki's difficult three-point shot in the last attack came out of the frame.

Dirk Nowitzki was only able to score 51 points in a single game, regrettably ending his Olympic journey.

After all, before this game, the German team had only won one game. After losing this game, the group stage record has dropped to a state of 1 win and 4 losses.

Although the Greek team was completely blown away when they faced the Chinese team and the US team in the last two games of the group stage.

However, the record of 2 wins and 1 loss in the first three games allowed the Greek team to firmly grasp the last promotion spot in Group B.

In the end, after fierce fighting, the four teams in Group B that advanced to the quarter-finals were also determined.

First place in Group B: China
Group B Group [-]nd: Team USA

Third place in Group B: Spain
Group B Group [-]th: Greece

At the same time, after the top four teams in Group AB are determined, the men's basketball quarter-finals list for this Olympic Games has also been officially determined.

First of all, the first Chinese team in Group B will play against the fourth Australian team in Group A.

Then there is the second US team in Group B, which will face the third Croatian team in Group A.

There is no doubt that these two sets of matchups are the two sets of matchups that are considered to be the least suspenseful.

After all, with the terrifying performance of the Chinese team and the US team in Group B, no one thinks that any team in Group A can withstand the crushing of the two teams.

Then there is Lithuania, the first in Group A, against Greece, the fourth in Group B.

And Argentina, which is second in Group A, will play against Spain, which is third in Group B.

Compared with the previous two groups of matches, the matchups of these two groups are relatively more interesting.

After all, although the Spanish team and the Greek team are the third and fourth teams in Group B respectively.

But the strength of the two teams is not as weak as their ranking in the group.

At least the Lithuanian team and the Argentine team may not necessarily be able to defeat the Spanish team and the Greek team to enter the semi-finals!
Many people even predicted that this year's semi-final matchup is likely to be a civil war between the top four in Group B.

Of course, everything needs to be played before the result can be known.

After all, in the knockout stage, the pressure and the atmosphere of the game are completely different from those in the group stage.

This has also led to the important reason why many teams that can maintain sufficient pressure in the group stage have various overturns in the knockout stage.

So although the opponent of the Chinese team is the Australian team, which has not improved in strength in the past two years, and was beaten by the Chinese team in the 06 World Championships.

But the players and coaches of the Chinese team did not take it lightly!

It's just that the Chinese team thought of all the ways that Australia might go wrong.

But I didn't expect Australia to choose a path of death that everyone thought he would not choose in the end.
