After the Chinese team defeated the Greek team, the other first games of the group stage were decided one after another.
In the Group A match, the Jordanian team almost completed an upset and lost to the Australian team by 1 point.
In Group B, Slovenia defeated Tunisia and won its first World Championship victory.
In Group D, the powerful Lithuanian team in Europe easily defeated the New Zealand team and won its first victory.
Immediately afterwards, other countries came on stage one after another and completed the first game of the World Championships.
The Dream Nine team, which has attracted much attention from fans, defeated the Croatian team in an overwhelming manner and won its first victory in the World Championships.
In this game, the players of Mengjiu Team played mediocrely and did not have any outstanding performance, which made the fans' expectations suddenly disappear.
They thought it was interesting to watch the Chinese team’s games, and they changed their tune to support the Chinese team.
Therefore, in the following games, almost every game played by the Chinese team was full.
…
…
On August 29, the Chinese team ushered in its second opponent in the group stage, the Cote d'Ivoire team.
The Cote d'Ivoire team is the weakest team in Group C and cannot pose any threat to the Chinese team.
Therefore, this unsuspicious game received little attention.
Even so, it could not stop the enthusiasm of Chinese fans, who bought tickets and came to support the Chinese team.
This is the first time that the Chinese team has performed as one of the world's top teams in the World Championships, and they don't want to miss every game of the Chinese team.
This made foreign fans who wanted to support the Chinese team unable to buy tickets and marveled that the Chinese fans were so crazy.
After the game started, the Chinese men's basketball team did not disappoint the tens of thousands of domestic fans present and staged a hearty victory.
In this game, Sun Yi once again performed brilliantly, dominating the game on both offense and defense, scoring a triple-double of 25 points, 15 rebounds, 10 assists, 4 steals and 3 blocks.
Sun Yi not only once again refreshed the single-game assist record in the history of the Chinese team, but was also the first player in the Chinese men's basketball team to record a triple-double in the World Championships, setting a series of records.
Arab League's performance was also very good, scoring 24 points, 8 rebounds and 2 blocks.
Under the strong performance of the two, the Chinese team defeated the Cote d'Ivoire team 108-69, winning two consecutive World Championships, and locked a qualifying spot in the group stage in advance.
After the game, the domestic fans were extremely excited.
This is the best start in history for the Chinese team at the World Championships.
They were witnessing the Chinese team making history, and they were very proud.
After defeating the Ivory Coast team, the Chinese team got a day's rest. The players did not slack off from training just because they had a perfect start, and prepared for the next game with all their strength.
On August 31, the Chinese team faced Puerto Rico, its third opponent in the group stage.
Although the Puerto Rico team won the runner-up in the last World Championships and its strength cannot be underestimated, it is currently in a low period and the team's overall strength has seriously declined.
In the Puerto Rico team's lineup, only Jose Barea, Carlos Arroyo and CBA legend Ramos are capable of fighting. The other players are purely there to make up the numbers and cannot make any contribution on the court.
Therefore, most fans predicted that the Chinese team would win this game before the game.
Although the outside world is unanimously optimistic that the Chinese team can win, the members of the men's basketball team did not underestimate the opponent and were fully prepared for this game.
Moreover, in order to cope with the Puerto Rico team's dual point guard play style, the coaching team made personnel adjustments after some discussions, with Sun Yi as the starting point guard and Wang Shipeng as the starting small forward.
Liu Wei has no objection to this. As long as he can win, he is willing to give up his starting position.
At this stage, the atmosphere within the Chinese team is very harmonious. All players are working hard towards the same goal, and there is no such thing as infighting.
The Chinese team is fully prepared, and the Puerto Rico team is also going all out to prepare for this game.
At this stage, the Puerto Rico team has lost all two games and ranks second from the bottom of the group.
If they cannot defeat the Chinese team, they will be eliminated from the group.
Therefore, this game cannot be missed for the Puerto Rico team.
After the game started, the Puerto Rico team played very fiercely and wanted to establish a lead at the beginning.
The Chinese team did not let the Puerto Rican team's plan succeed, and they used all their firepower to output wildly.
Sun Yi acting as point guard is like a bug, bullying the Puerto Rico defense line at will.
Facing the diminutive Barea, Sun Yi made a three-pointer without hesitation. He was not affected at all, just like in his usual training, chopping vegetables and melons to score like crazy.
Seeing this situation, the Puerto Rico team could only double-team Sun Yi.
But the effect was still not very good. Sun Yi was still able to hit a pull-up jumper against the defense of the two men.
In addition, Sun Yi also has superb passing skills and can accurately pass the ball to the best position to drive teammates to score.
The Puerto Rican team did not want to see this happen and tried their best to intercept Sun Yi's passing route.
But once the Chinese team opens up, it will not be easily defended.
Under the leadership of Sun Yi, the Chinese team was unstoppable, using extremely sharp attacks to defeat the Puerto Rico team's defense and seal the victory.
In the end, the Chinese team defeated the Puerto Rico team 95-62 and won three consecutive World Championships.
The best player of this game is still won by Sun Yi.
In the 30 minutes he played, he made 7 of 10 three-pointers and scored 38 points, 5 rebounds, 12 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks.
Sun Yi not only once again set a new record for assists in a single game in the history of the Chinese team, but also set a new high for his scoring in the World Championships.
After this game, the Chinese team locked in the top two in the group in advance.
Before the players of the Chinese team could enjoy the joy of victory, they ushered in their fourth opponent, the Russian team.
The schedule of this World Championship is very tight. Five group matches will be played in seven days, which will test the physical strength of the players.
The Chinese team didn't get a break, and the same goes for other countries, which is very fair.
On September 1, the Chinese team played against the Russian team at the National Stadium in Ankara.
As the soul of the Russian team, ak47 Kirilenko was unable to participate in this World Championship due to personal reasons.
Therefore, the biggest player of this Russian team is Mozgov, and the overall strength is relatively weak.
Sun Yi still played point guard in this game.
The reason for this arrangement is that the Russian team's starting point guard is a bamboo pole guard weighing only 75 kilograms. The Chinese team will definitely seize this weakness.
After the game started, Sun Yi followed the tactics formulated before the game and continued to single out the Russian team's defenders, with very good results.
The Russian team was simply unable to cope with the Chinese team's singles tactics. They did not want to follow the old path of the Puerto Rican team and could only let Sun Yi score, and they wanted to use overall cooperation to fight against the Chinese team.
But what the Russian team didn't expect was that Sun Yi's singles could really kill a team.
Thanks to Sun Yi's efficient singles play, the Chinese team maintained a double-digit lead until the end of the game.
In the end, the Chinese team defeated the Russian team 84-70 and won four consecutive World Championships.
Sun Yi undoubtedly won the honor of the best player of the game again.
In the 32 minutes he played, he scored 42 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks. He once again set a new high in scoring in the World Championships and set a series of records in team history.
After defeating the Russian team, the Chinese team has won all four games and is temporarily ranked first in the group. It will compete with the Turkish team for the first place in the group.
