Almighty Athlete Chapter 84: First time starting
August 18 is the last day of the men’s basketball group stage, and when the two matches of Group A in the morning are over, eight teams that have advanced to the Olympic knockout have been determined.
After the Chinese team defeated the German team in Group B, the top four of the group have been determined, and the rest is only the competition for the ranking of the group.
In Group A, Argentina and Lithuania have already secured the qualifying rights, and Croatia, Russia and Australia will compete for two additional qualifying rights.
Croatia's current record is 2 wins and 2 losses, but the final opponent of the Croatian men's basketball group stage is the Iranian men's basketball team. The Iranian men's basketball team has been eliminated in the previous four games, and the Iranian men's basketball team is not superior in strength. So today in the first game of the Wukesong basketball field, the Croatian team easily defeated the Iranian men's basketball team to 3 The record of winning 2 defeats ranked third in the group, locking in a knockout place.
The Australian team and the Russian team will compete for the last qualifying place. The current record of both teams is 1 win and 3 losses, but the Australian men’s basketball team has previously defeated the country’s Russian men’s basketball team, so in terms of victory and defeat, the Australians have Dominant. The last opponent of the Australian team group match is the powerful Lithuania, and the last opponent of the Russian team is the equally powerful Argentina team.
The current situation is that if both Australia and Russia lose, then Australia will advance by virtue of winning and losing; if both Australia and Russia win, then Australia will also advance by virtue of winning and losing; if both If one loses, the winning side will advance to the knockout. So the scene has more advantages for Australia.
Another point is that Lithuania defeated Argentina before. Even if Lithuania lost the last game, it can ensure the first qualifying of Group A. The Lithuania team has actually locked the top of the group.
Due to historical reasons, the relationship between Lithuania and Russia is not very good, it can even be said that they are opposed to each other, especially the South Ossetia conflict that occurred before the start of the Olympic Games, it also made the three Baltic countries began to be alert to Russia This kind of bad relationship manifested itself in the Olympics. When Lithuania faced Australia, they simply sent a full bench. As a result, Lithuania lost to Australia by a majority of 75:106. This is equivalent to excluding the Russian team from the quarterfinals. Even if Russia defeats Argentina at night, it is impossible to get promoted.
The ranking of Group A is also determined. The Lithuanian group is first, the Argentina group is second, the Croatian group is third, and Australia has caught up with the last train of the quarterfinals, ranking fourth in the group.
In Group B, the United States will undoubtedly win five games to qualify for the group first, while the German and Angola teams have been eliminated, but the group from second to fifth has not been determined.
The last opponent of the Spanish team is Angola, so the Spanish team's final record will be 3 wins and 2 losses.
And between the Chinese team and the Greek team, if the Chinese team wins, they will be ranked second in the group with 4 wins and 1 loss, the Spanish team is third, and the Greek team is fourth. And if the Chinese team loses to the Greek team, the Chinese team, the Spanish team and the Greek team are all 3 wins and 2 losses, and they are in a circular win-loss relationship. At this time, it is necessary to compare the winning and losing points of the three teams. In this regard The Chinese team is not dominant. If it is really better than winning, the Chinese team may be ranked fourth in the group.
......
The men’s national basketball team came to the Wukesong basketball Pavilion early, and Coach Yunas stressed the importance of this game.
I saw coach Yunas say: "Although we have qualified, this game is still very important to us. If we win, we will qualify in second place in the group. At that time we will Facing the Croatian team; if we lose to the Greek team, we can only be ranked fourth in the group, then we have to face the first Lithuania in Group A. You should all know the strength of the Lithuanian team Where, and I know this better than you."
Coach Yunas is a Lithuanian, and once the head coach of the Lithuanian national team, he can be said to be one of the people who knows the Lithuanian team best.
The members of the national team nodded one after another, and everyone knew that playing Croatia was much easier than playing Lithuania. Although Croatia is also a strong player in Europe, this time Croatia is not strong. They only participated in the Olympics in the playoffs. The Croatian team has always been a big player. This is not an advantage in front of the Chinese team.
Coach Yunas went on to say: "I used to teach the Greek domestic powerhouse Olympiax for two years, so I still have some knowledge of the Greek team. This Greek team has outstanding defense, fast passing speed and good playing. Sports team. Their back line is very strong, Papalukas has become the strongest point guard outside the NBA, everyone should also know that although Spanolis can not adapt to the NBA game rhythm, but in the international On the field, Spanorilis is still the strongest scoring point of Greece. The defenders of the Greek team are generally tall, good in technology, fast in speed and accurate in shooting. This is precisely what we lack most. Frankly speaking, our guard line level Not as good as the Greek team."
Several defender players bowed their heads. They knew that Coach Yunas was telling the truth~IndoMTL.com~ And on the front line, our height is superior, and the forward players of the Greek team are flexible The CIC is accurate, and it can also make three points. This is where we must beware. Coach Yunas said while looking at the United Arab League, and then said: "In a way, the Greek striker has many similarities with us. "
The forwards or forwards of the Greek team will make three-pointers. The three-pointers of the two forwards of the Chinese team are also not weak. In addition to the competition of personal abilities, who can have a better shooting opportunity? Will become the focus of competition.
Yunas said after looking to Dayao, he said: "In the center position, it is obvious that we have absolute strength in this position. They know that the main center Giligny Dakis is 216 cm tall and weighs 127 Kg, because it is a traditional center, Dayao's best match is the traditional center. So the inside will be our main point of attack."
Yao nodded his head. He also knew that as the strongest scoring point of the national team, he would bear the most important responsibility in this game.
Coach Yunas said that he looked towards Zhang Guan, and then said: "Zhang Guan, you should be ready, this game, we need you to start!" (To be continued.)
