Legendary star

Chapter 610
After the "Focus Showdown" between the Huaguo Men's Basketball Team and the US Men's Basketball Team, the men's basketball group stage of this Olympic Games is all over. First of all, it is Group B. As the No. The record of 2 victories ranked first in the group. After the Huaguo men's basketball team, the host Greece ranked second in the group. Lithuania, which missed the group's first place because of a loss to the Huaguo men's basketball team, was in the final round. And because of some "special" reasons, they lost to the host Greece. Therefore, with the same record, Lithuania ranked third in the group after Greece, and ranked fourth in the group after Lithuania. Puerto Rico, which beat the U.S. men's basketball team, has the same record as the U.S. team, but relying on the victory over the U.S. men's basketball team, Puerto Rico successfully squeezed out the dream team and advanced to the knockout round with the fourth record in the group.

In Group A, Spain also ranked first in the group with a record of 5 victories. After Spain, Italy and Argentina, both with 3 wins and 2 losses, ranked the same as Greece and Lithuania. Italy, which defeated Argentina, ranked ahead of Argentina, and the last place in Group A fell on the head of African champion Angola. After pecking each other, they defeated the Serbian and Montenegro men's basketball team in an upset, thus qualifying for the group stage with a record of 2 wins and 3 losses.

In this Olympics, the most "regretful" thing is that the dream team failed in the group stage. Since the 92 Olympics, the American men's basketball team, which has monopolized the Olympic champions, lost to Puerto Rico and Lithuania in the group stage. In the last game that decided to qualify, he lost to the Huaguo men's basketball team, thus ending his Olympic journey with a record of 2 wins and 3 losses. As a big basketball country, the US men's basketball team will definitely be out of the group It affects the attention of the Olympic men's basketball team, but for those other teams that have been bullied by the US men's basketball team for more than ten years, the US team's elimination from the group is definitely a welcome thing.After the group stage ended, some American media suggested that the American Basketball Association appeal to the FIBA ​​to investigate the four teams of Lithuania, Greece, Puerto Rico and Australia, who played tacitly in the final round of the game and maliciously released water.

In addition to the US men's basketball team, there is another team that was eliminated in the group, which is also regrettable. As a team that has won the World Championships and Olympic champions six times, the Serbian and Montenegro men's basketball team is a well-deserved powerhouse in the world basketball , but due to some international and ZHENGZHI reasons, Yugoslavia disintegrated again and again, and with the disappearance of a unified country, the Serbian and Montenegro men's basketball team began to enter a trough. As the champion of the 6 World Championships, this year's The No. 02 seed team in Group A of the Olympic Games, the Serbian and Montenegro men's basketball team should have shined in the Athens Olympic Games, but the final result was that they only won one of the five group matches. Accompanied by the scandal of infighting, it was called the European Dream The Serbian and Montenegro men's basketball team and the dream team were out of the group together.

After a day's rest, the knockout round of the Olympic men's basketball team officially began. As the No. [-] in Group B, the Huaguo men's basketball team will face Angola, which is fourth in Group A. The Greek men's basketball team, which is second in Group B, will face the third in Group A. Argentina, Lithuania, third in Group B, will face Italy, second in Group A, and Spain, first in Group A, will face Puerto Rico, fourth in Group B, in the last match.

Although the American men's basketball team composed of a group of NBA stars has already returned home ahead of schedule, the influence of the NBA still hangs over the Olympic men's basketball game. Meng Xu and Yao Ming of the Huaguo Men's Basketball Team, Paul Gasol of Spain, Argentina's Manu Ginobili, the teams that have a chance to win the Olympic championship, all have players who play in the NBA at their core, and the subsequent knockout rounds have successfully proved this point.

After a day of fierce fighting, the four qualifying teams in Group B, except the Huaguo men's basketball team, which successfully eliminated Angola 81 to 65 and advanced to the semi-finals, the remaining three teams in Group B were completely annihilated. In the game, the two insiders of the Huaguo men's basketball team, Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi scored 42 points and 23 rebounds. Getting ready for the upcoming semi-finals, he played less than 20 minutes today before being replaced by Jiang Quan and sat on the sidelines to rest.

Puerto Rico, which once beat the U.S. men's basketball team in the group stage, was defeated after only half of the game against Spain. Spain's number one star Pau Gasol scored 28 points and 15 goals in the game. Rebounds, 3 blocked shots, all of Puerto Rico's insiders were blown up by himself. Under the strong performance of Pau Gasol, the Spanish men's basketball team beat Puerto Rico by 90 points 74 to 16, although Puerto Rico The disastrous defeat to Spain, but as the core of the team, Arroyo still scored 18 points and 8 assists.

Vassilis Spanoulis, who was drafted by the Mavericks in the second round of the game between the hosts Greece and Argentina, but did not want to enter the NBA immediately, and Manu Ginobi, who also entered the NBA as a second rounder Li, staged a very exciting duel. The two teams took the lead alternately throughout the game, and the point difference was kept within 5 points. Until the end of the game, Argentina was still 1 points behind, but in the next few tens of seconds Inside, Manu Ginobili made sudden shots and scored 4 points in a row, helping Argentina to overtake the score, and Vasilis Spanoulis missed the lore at the last moment, which also made the Greek men's basketball team out of the tournament. .Although he missed the lore at the last moment, Vassilis Spanoulis's 6 points, 22 assists, 7 rebounds, and 5 steals today are also bright enough. In Argentina, Manu, who is the core of the team, - Ginobili contributed a game-high 4 points today, and also sent out 25 assists, 6 rebounds, and 4 steals.

The result of the match between Lithuania and Italy was a bit unexpected. As the champion of the European Championship, Lithuania obviously played a little abnormally in the match against the defeated Italy. Lithuania took 21 three-pointers in the game, but But only hit 5 goals, and the shooting rate is appallingly low. With such an abnormal performance, it is not surprising that Lithuania lost to Italy.

After all the four quarter games are over, the top four teams of the Olympic men's basketball team will be released. The four teams are Spain, Italy, Argentina and Huaguo men's basketball team. According to the schedule set in advance, all Both semi-finals will be held on August 2004, 8, Greek time.
