Healthy basketball, starting from eating the old Lakers F4

Under the leadership of Duane, the men's basketball team won all three games in the first round of the group stage!
In a sense, the men's basketball team has regained the style of a world-class team ten years ago.

But we won, and some problems were exposed during the process.

The fact that the team had to rely on Duane's explosion to win the last game of the first round of the group stage shows that the overall stability of the men's basketball team is still a little lacking and needs further running-in and strengthening of its strength.

This means that in the next game, the men's basketball team cannot take it lightly and must be cautious and take every step carefully.

The format of the second round of the group stage is different from that of the first round. The first round is a points match, and the second round is a knockout match. The winner will be decided in one battle!

In the round of 16, the men's basketball team played against the Russian team, which ranked second in Group B. You should know that the Russian team also won two games in Group B, and basically won by a large margin, so their strength is not weak.

Fortunately, in terms of pure strength, the current Russian team is no match for the men's basketball team.

In addition, the men's basketball team is playing at home, and the single-elimination tournament system still has some advantages.

After the game started, the men's basketball team relied on three-pointers and defensive counterattacks to establish an advantage of about 10 points. By the end of the first half, the score difference had widened to 16 points.

After the start of the third quarter, the Russian players tried every means to narrow the score gap, but with Duane and others attacking instead of defending, the score gap not only did not narrow, but widened further.

By the fourth quarter, there was no need for Duane to take a shot. The men's basketball team relied on Yi Jianlian's six-point burst under the basket, which shattered the Russian men's basketball team's belief in turning defeat into victory.

When the game time was up, the scoreboard was fixed at 84 to 71. The men's basketball team defeated the Russian team with a 13-point advantage and successfully advanced to the next quarter-final knockout round.

However, the second round of the group stage has not yet ended, and there is still a qualifying match to be played.

The second round of the group stage is still a 4-to-2 match, but it is not a points match where two teams play three games in total.

Instead, the first in Group A will play against the second in Group B, and the first in Group B will play against the second in Group A. The winners of the two groups will advance to the knockout stage and play a round of qualifying matches within the group. The winner will become the first in Group A in the subsequent quarter-final knockout stage, and the loser will become the second in Group A.

As for the two teams that lost the previous game in the group, they will also have to play another game to determine the top 12 and top 16.

After advancing to the quarterfinals, it means that as long as the men's basketball team continues to win two more games, they will have a chance to win a medal in this year's Men's Basketball World Cup.

In order to better achieve this goal, the men's basketball team naturally does not want to be eliminated in the quarterfinals due to accidents.

In order to better advance in the next knockout round, the second round of qualifying in the group stage becomes crucial.

Because the advancement status of the two teams in Group B of the knockout stage was also announced after the men's basketball team successfully advanced to the quarterfinals. They are Spain and Serbia.

The Spanish team is a championship contender, and the men's basketball team certainly doesn't want to have a head-on battle with them if they can avoid it in advance.

According to the team's strength, Spain should be the first team in Group B in the upcoming knockout rounds.

Therefore, in order to avoid strong opponents like the Spanish team, the men's basketball team must continue to work hard and go all out to win the next qualifying game.

On September 9, the battle between the men's basketball team and the Argentine team is about to begin.

After the game started, the men's basketball team encountered unprecedented difficulties.

However, this summer, Duane did not give up nor slack off. He was training and preparing the whole time to maintain his form.

As soon as he saw the team was in trouble, Duane immediately released all his strength, picked up the ball and started swinging.

Of course, Duane's physical fitness has declined a lot now, and he can't play one-on-one with the ball from the outside like before.

In order to ensure scoring efficiency, Duane constantly called his teammates to come over for pick-and-rolls, and then relied on his rich game experience and relatively good competitive state to release his offensive firepower on the court. The old ones are still the best! Duane's offensive choices are fine, and his finishing ability is also reliable.

Although Argentina's inside players kept gathering under the basket, Duane still relied on mid-range shots, close shots, and small lobs to steadily put the ball into the basket.

By the end of the first half, the men's basketball team had scored 21 points just by Duane.

In fact, Duane wanted to try harder and score more than 30 points in the first half, but it's a pity that Feng Tang is getting old and his physical strength is really insufficient.

Fortunately, the new generation of men's basketball players has grown up and gradually begun to take up the banner of offense.

In addition to Dunn's score, the men's basketball team scored 20 points in the first half. Although it was still not as much as Dunn's score alone, it did withstand the offensive of the Argentine team and was only 2 points behind the opponent.

In the third quarter, Yi Jianlian finally stopped being silent and actively looked for offensive opportunities. While Duane was being defended by Argentina's inside players, he found some opportunities to score under the basket and scored 9 points in a single quarter.

At the same time, the other players of the men's basketball team were not just walking around the court, but the whole team was fighting hard.

Of course, sometimes having full fighting spirit on the court does not necessarily mean you will score.

Take Westbrook for example. Sometimes the more passionate he is, the more likely he is to miss too many shots, which causes the team to fall behind or even lose the game.

However, a positive attitude towards the game can always establish some advantages in defense and protecting rebounds.

In tonight's game, the men's basketball team relied on the efforts of all three players to grab a lot of rebounds and keep the score close.

By the end of the third quarter, the men's basketball team had successfully caught up with the score and even established a 3-point lead.

And with the respite provided by his teammates, Duane stepped up and took over the game at the beginning of the fourth quarter.

With the support of nearly 18,000 domestic fans at the scene, Duane was in hot form, with a mid-range hit rate of over 60%.

Ultimately, due to physical limitations, he was unable to win the game with mid-range shots.

However, until Duane ran out of energy and swung the ball until he could not swing it anymore, Duane had already scored 11 points in the fourth quarter.

In international events such as the World Championships, the Olympics, and the Men's Basketball World Cup, because a single quarter lasts only 10 minutes and there is no three-second zone, it is more difficult for players to attack, and it is usually difficult to score in double digits in a single quarter.

But Duane only took about half a quarter, and he scored 11 points by himself against five Argentine players.

This shows how strong Duane's scoring explosiveness and offensive capabilities are.

It is worth mentioning that although the Argentine men's basketball team is composed of all its players, no one can respond to Dunn's attack.

In the end, under the fierce attack led by Dunn, Argentina's defense was shaky and the offense was slightly stagnant.

When the men's basketball players saw the dawn of victory, they gritted their teeth and continued to fight with the Argentine players with fighting spirit, and used defense to stop the opponent's attacks again and again.

God helps those who work hard. The men's basketball team won the qualifying match with a 4-point advantage and successfully advanced to the quarterfinals as the first in Group A.

Later it was proved that the judgment of Dunn and others was correct. The Spanish team had no intention of letting the game go and defeated the Serbian team cleanly with a 15- victory.

In this way, the opponent of the men's basketball quarterfinals was determined - Serbia. (End of this chapter)
