Chapter 970 8-Strong Knockout Tournament
Chapter 970
小组赛结束，米国队以5比0的全胜战绩位列小组第一，天朝队战绩4比1紧随其后，No.3和No.4依次是袋鼠国队和法国队。
The above are the top four teams in Group A to advance to the quarter-finals.
The next night, after training, Wang Zelin and his teammates went to the scene to watch the final round of Group B.
With the end of the final round, the group stage rankings of Group B will also be announced.Lithuania scored 4-1 and ranked first in the group; Spain ranked second 3-1; Argentina and Croatia ranked third and fourth respectively.
After the semi-finals, Nigeria is ranked fifth and Venezuela is at the bottom.
从两个小组中出线的8队将按照以下对症进行1/4决赛： A2vsB3、B1vsA4、B2vsA3、A1vsB4。
According to the competition system, the opponent of the Chinese team in the quarter-finals is basically determined to be the 1 Olympic gold medalist, the Argentine team. After winning, they will advance to the semi-finals, and the eliminated team will no longer play any games.
In terms of strength distribution alone, Group A deserves to be called the group of death, and its strength is generally stronger than that of Group B. Among the top four in Group B, only Lithuania and Spain can compete with the Chinese team.
As for the Argentine team, since they reached the final in the 2004 Athens Olympic Games and defeated the Dream 6 team, they reached the peak. Players such as Ginobili, Scola, Delfino, Nocioni, Prigioni, Oberto and other players have risen to fame and are known as the golden generation of Argentina.
Unfortunately, because Argentina lacks a rich reserve of basketball talents like the United States, aging has become an inevitable problem for them.
For most countries, basketball talents are hard to come by.
With Prigioni and Oberto retiring from the national team one after another, the strength of the Argentine team is also a loser.
In this year's Olympic Games, the Argentine team can only get No.3 in Group B, where the competition environment is relatively weak. It can be seen that the Argentine team has weakened from the golden age.
From 04 to 16, the core of this team in 12 is still Ginobili, still the golden generation, which is both good and sad!
By the way, before the start of the Rio Olympics, Ginobili admitted frankly that this would be the last Olympics for his national team.
After Shiver Duncan announced his retirement this summer, it was another sad thing for Spurs fans.
After the Group B group match, Ginobili and many Spurs fans felt a lot when they learned that the next opponent of the Argentine team was the Chinese team.
In recent years, Wang Zelin has led the Portland Legion to sweep all directions in the NBA. Wherever the iron hooves pass, the opponents are all terrified. It can be said that they have stole the limelight!
But just four years ago, when Wang Zelin was just a fledgling, he led his team to the playoffs and all the way to the Western Conference Finals despite the disapproval of many people and the pressure from the outside world.
Unfortunately, they met the San Antonio Spurs, which symbolized the pinnacle of team basketball, and were eventually swept by the Spurs 4-1.
At that time, Ginobili and the Spurs fans just thought that Wang Zelin was a talented young man who would have a great future in the future.
But this so-called "future" will not come until five years later.
Unexpectedly, the Spurs have become the only team that has successfully intercepted Wang Zelin's aspirations at the end of his NBA career so far.
The rise of Wang Zelin and the Trail Blazers has exceeded everyone's imagination.
As the only player who has personally defeated Wang Zelin in the NBA playoffs in the past four years, Ginobili can't help but look forward to the game three days later.
Even if it rises to the level of the competition, the hope of the Argentine team's promotion is very slim when they meet the super dark horse of Tianchao and Wang Zelin, but Ginobili still wants to try to create a miracle.
Just like 12 years ago, no one was optimistic that the Argentine team could beat the Dream Team, but the Argentine golden generation headed by Ginobili just did it.
In the game three days later, Ginobili also believed that he could create another miracle.
……
……
Time passed quickly, and it came to August 8 in a flash, and the Rio Olympics was drawing to a close.
This morning, Tianchao Nanping won the No.18 Olympic gold for the Tianchao delegation, which greatly inspired the world of all athletes of the Tianchao delegation.
Subsequently, the men's basketball game also entered the knockout stage of the quarterfinals.
The four-group matchup of the quarter-finals has been determined before, and the match between the Chinese team and the Argentine team will start as the opening game.
This game has attracted the attention of the Chinese audience.
In the previous games, the Tianchao team was hacked a lot of gold medals because of referees, which made them very upset.
Although the men's table tennis team won a gold medal today, the process was quite shocking. They lost a point in the match with the Japanese players who had a good life.
Depressed + unhappy at the same time, everyone naturally hopes to see breakthroughs in other projects.
It just so happens that the momentum of the men's basketball team this year is completely different from the past, and it is logical that it has become the most anticipated project.
Especially in the knockout stage, every game won is creating a new history!
At 11:22 noon local time and [-]:[-] p.m. domestically, the quarter-final match between the Chinese team and the Argentine team officially kicked off.
The venue was still in Hall 16000 of the Carioca Stadium, and most of the fans sitting in the [-] seats were Chinese.
Who knows how the powerful Chinese fans got so many tickets, making the entire arena look like the home court of the Chinese team.
Argentina and Brazil both belong to South America. In theory, Argentina will have more players present.
But in the scene in front of him, from the moment the players entered the field, the familiar celestial red made Wang Zelin and his teammates extremely excited.
As one of the three major ball sports in the world, basketball has become the most popular sport in the country, not to mention other countries, at least within the territory of China.
The fanaticism of Chinese fans today, because Wang Zelin has reached an unprecedented peak.
During the entrance ceremony, when the players of the Tianchao team were introduced to the field, the cheers from the Tianchao fans at the scene caused the other fans to look sideways.
The Argentine team player on the opposite side couldn't help complaining: "This posture is planning to turn a foreign country into the home court of your Tianchao team."
"It's not intended, it's definitely!" Another Argentine player made up the knife in time.
Looking at the scene in front of them, if the Argentine players say that there is no pantothenic acid in their hearts, it is absolutely false.
But then, it also made their desire to defeat the Tianchao team stronger.
Although many people say it is old-fashioned, it is practical and passionate!
Now, the Argentine players really want to hit the Tianchao men's basketball team in the face with their strength in front of nearly [-] Chinese fans at the scene.
