Chapter 277 The Battle for Ranking
The news that made Tang Wenlong ecstatic was that the Spanish men's basketball team actually lost to the Russian men's basketball team that had just lost to the Chinese men's basketball team in the game after they finished!
74 to 77, which made Tang Wenlong suddenly see the hope of winning the first place in the group.

Being first in the group not only means that you can play against the weakest team in Group A, but you will also enjoy the perfect system of knockout rounds, and you will only play against the top of Group A in the final.Of course, the premise is that the top names of both groups can enter the final stage, and it is self-evident who the top names of Group A are, and whether they can enter the finals is almost blurted out.

"According to the Olympic knockout system, No.1 and No.3 in our group will meet the US team in the final, while No.4 will meet the US team at the beginning of the knockout round, and No.2 will be in the semi-final Encountered." Deng Huade analyzed the Olympic competition system for Tang Wenlong on the bus back home, his eyes glowed green, and since he defeated many international teams, his ambition has also swelled.

"We must win the next game!" Tang Wenlong said firmly. The Chinese team, which has already won 3 wins and 1 loss, can only compete for the first place in the group if they win the last game against the British team.

Speaking of which, because of Spain's accidental loss to Russia, it is not only China and Russia that have 3 wins and 1 loss, but also Spain. Each of the three teams has won each other, and Group B has directly become chaotic.

The host British men's basketball team is the most tragic, and has not won a game so far.

Faced with the challenge of the mighty Chinese team, the basketball-focused media in London were all wailing, turning their cameras to focus on other Olympic events.

As for the host British team that came in with a wild card, except for Ruhr Deng, who is a hero in the NBA, the other players are crooked, local chickens and dogs, and even have little experience in international competitions. , There are also several black players who are even naturalized overseas.

After all, it is really difficult to find a few talented basketball seedlings in the British Isles. The whole country likes to play football, but they don’t like to watch basketball. There are few basketball facilities. They even have a prejudice against basketball, thinking that basketball is for women exercise.Unless you are very tall, you can tell at a glance that you can only play basketball. Otherwise, if you are 1.8 meters five or 1.9 meters five, why don't you play football?It's good to be a goalkeeper.

The Chinese team won easily. After Tang Wenlong took care of Ruhr Deng, there was nothing to do with the British team.

In the final result, Yi Jianlian shined in this game, scoring a double-double of 25 points and 12 rebounds, of which 5 of the rebounds were offensive rebounds. His height and jumping ability Dealing with the inside line of the British men's basketball team is very easy, especially knowing that Tang Wenlong is on top of his head, Yi Jianlian plays more confidently.

This is a good sign. When the group round robin came to an end, some teammates finally woke up.If the whole team is in this state from the beginning, they may not necessarily lose the first game against Spain.

On the same day, Russia also defeated Australia, and the final record was also 4 wins and 1 loss. However, because the Chinese team had defeated Russia before, with the same record, the Chinese team ranked ahead of Russia with 9 points.

What makes Tang Wenlong even more happy is that even if Spain wins against Brazil tomorrow, the Chinese team will be ranked first with the same records and points.

中国队战胜俄罗斯那场比赛是79比69赢了足足10分。所以加上69比74输掉西班牙的那场比赛，得失分比为148比143，而俄罗斯的得失分比为147比153，西班牙的得失分比为148比147。

Spain really has 1 don'ts in its heart. After the inexplicable loss to Russia, all the beautiful scenes were shattered. If No.2 really entered the knockout round, they would meet the US team in the semi-finals.

But the most embarrassing problem is that if Spain loses to Brazil tomorrow, the Brazilian team will be the same as Spain, with 3 wins and 2 losses, and the two teams with the same points will see their respective results, and Spain will suddenly fall. Go to No.4, so that you will meet the US team in the first game of the knockout round!Worse.

The Spanish national team wants to cry but has no tears. I don't know how to encounter such a situation.

On the other hand, after the Chinese men's basketball team defeated the British men's basketball team, Chinese media reports immediately gave the news that the Chinese team had secured the top spot in the group ahead of time. This is really the first time ever!
As the core of the team and the most famous player of the Chinese team, Tang Wenlong has naturally received numerous praises. After these few games, he averaged 29.1 points per game, making him the leading scorer in this Olympic Games.In second place is Australia's Mills, averaging 21.5 points per game.

On the last day of the group competition, there are still the last games between Brazil and Spain in Group B, and the United States and Argentina in Group A.

Tang Wenlong did not go to the scene, but watched the match from a resting place. Now Brazil has won two matches, namely Australia and the United Kingdom. Even if they lose this match, they can still advance.

Brazil naturally hopes to avoid the United States, so defeating Spain is the best chance for them!

Spain was silent, dug a big hole by China, and could only grit its teeth and swallow. Whoever made them lose to Russia can only blame themselves.

Therefore, the two teams, which could have played together in the first place, had no choice but to fight desperately on the field in order to get a better schedule in the promotion match.

Spain suppressed Brazil in the first quarter, winning 26 points 17 to 9.Pau Gasol showed his power, continuously hooking the ball in with his soft touch inside.

Brazil is relying on the bravery of Brabos to bite the score.Especially after the start of the second quarter, Nene's powerful dunk directly ignited the enthusiasm of the South Americans, and launched an attack on the Spanish position. For a while, the Spaniard was miserable and was almost hit by a shock wave.

Fortunately, Gasol was really a godsend today. Under the attack of Nene, Splitter and others, he was able to score stably and continue the firepower for Spain.

At the end of the three quarters, Spain still led Brazil by 66 points 57 to 9.

In the fourth quarter, Brazil's offense became even crazier. A small forward named Marcus Vinicius suddenly stood up from the bench. Make a layup, get 5 points at once, and pull the point difference to only 4 points.

"What a tenacious opponent." Tang Wenlong was taken aback when he saw Brazil's crazy appearance on the field. He felt that the same team had changed a lot.

This is the addition of the glory of the national team. The Brazilian team is as if it has been beaten with chicken blood. The more they fight, the more fierce they become.

Gasol received a pass from his brother inside and completed a dunk. Looking back, Vinicius immediately rushed in to complete a dunk, and Fernandez was completely wiped out by him in one step.

"It's too fierce!" Tang Wenlong praised the Brazilian team without hesitation.

Then in the fourth quarter, the Brazilian team relied on their passion to fight Spain. Spain made consecutive mistakes when passing the ball inside and outside, which gave the Brazilian team an easy chance to counterattack.Pau Gasol has scored 25 points at this time, but he is obviously tired. The Spanish head coach still refuses to use Ibaka. He watched the team go into the abyss, and then the score was tied and overtaken. .

In the whole game, Brazil just turned around in the fourth quarter, winning Spain 88 to 82!
At the end, the Brazilians were stunned. They won just like that. We became No.3?
On the other side, the face of the Russian men's basketball team turned into a pig liver color, and they scolded Spain for being useless. They couldn't even subdue a small Brazil, and the old men became No.2. .
