The men’s basketball team is really in the semifinals!
The Tianchao fans at the scene once again turned their attention to the scoreboard, which read 107:89. The Tianchao men’s basketball team finally reached the semi-finals of the Olympic Games!
At this moment, the fans at the scene were completely excited, and many people had tears in their eyes.
No matter how the next game goes, the men's basketball team's performance in this Olympics has satisfied everyone.
Especially those older fans, who will stay in front of the TV to watch the men's basketball game every four years. As a result, their expectations are replaced by disappointment and loneliness...
But this time, when the news that the men's basketball team reached the semi-finals came back to China, their faces finally no longer had disappointment and loneliness, but only relief and excitement!
You know, in the past, when the men's basketball team occasionally reached the quarterfinals, it was enough to keep them excited for the entire summer, or even for several years.
This year, the Tianchao men's basketball team truly achieved a historic breakthrough and was so close to an Olympic medal for the first time.
At this moment, as a Tianchao basketball fan, I feel unprecedentedly happy!
At this moment, as the Chinese male basketball players competing on the court, they are so proud when they hold their heads high!
"The five-star red flag is fluttering in the wind, and the victory song is so loud..."
I don’t know who started it first, but this song, which is a household name in China, is flying in the sky over Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
The players of the Tianchao team were still celebrating on the field, but when they heard the singing, they stopped what they were doing one after another, raised their heads with tears in their eyes, looked at the Chinese fans around them, and sang together.
The Chinese team was celebrating, but at the other end of the court, the Argentine players looked a little lonely as they hugged each other.
Missing the semi-finals of the Rio Olympics is not a perfect ending for the last few members of Argentina's golden generation.
When the Chinese team and the Chinese fans at the scene finished their song, the Argentinian fans in the stands were suddenly topless, jumping and singing loudly. This group of singers from the Pampas Plateau were singing to the greatest generation in the history of Argentine basketball.
Players say goodbye.
Everything was done. When the Argentine team stopped in the quarterfinals, the golden generation of Argentine basketball also began to say goodbye collectively.
Ginobili, Nocioni, Delnofi and other players have all planned to personally announce their retirement from the national team after the Olympics.
Fans on the sidelines were celebrating or singing praises. On the court, players from the two teams were doing the final handshake.
Although it is regrettable to lose, for Ginobili, losing to Wang Zelin is a more acceptable way for him to end the game.
"I will stay in Rio, come on, King, I hope the one who beats us is the champion!"
As they hugged each other goodbye, Ginobili said with a smile.
The depth below cannot be changed. Although he has regrets, he no longer wants to think about it. He chooses to pin his last obsession and regret on Wang Zelin.
If the Chinese team can really win the championship in the end, it can be said that Argentina lost to this Olympic champion. In that case, it is not unacceptable.
Wang Zelin nodded.
"I will stand on the final podium, just like you back then." He replied with a serious face at first, then suddenly stretched out his claws, rubbed the head of the demon knife and said, "Goodbye, Manu!"
"See you in the NBA!"
Ginobili was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a smile and turned to leave.
…
In the studio behind the Imperial Stage, Yu Jia said with emotion: "The regrets of generations of basketball people, the expectations of generations of basketball people, have finally come true today!"
Next to him, Zhang Lili was so excited that he burst into tears and was speechless for a long time. As a national player in the Chinese men's basketball team in the last century, he has witnessed the growth and demise of generations of Chinese basketball players, and he also knows very well that the Chinese men's basketball team is among the top teams in the world.
the gap between.
I still remember that before the Olympic Games, Wang Zelin, the leader of this generation's men's basketball team, shouted the slogan "No foil this time." At that time, many people thought that Wang Zelin simply wanted to inspire his teammates, including media figures like Zhang Lili.
Have the same view.
Unexpectedly, Wang Zelin really fulfilled his promise, and the men's basketball team really broke history.
The entire court building was filled with joy. The anchors, reporters and staff of each column group were happier than during the Chinese New Year. Everyone was happy that the Chinese men's basketball team had created history.
The last time the entire Imperial Terrace building exploded in an instant was back in 2001 when national football forward Yu Genwei scored a priceless goal that helped the national football team advance to the World Cup for the first time in history.
All domestic social networks have already exploded. The news that the men's basketball team reached the semi-finals of the Olympic Games quickly became the hottest topic on the scarf. The second most popular topic on the scarf was "The King is Mighty!" and the third topic was "The King NB!"
, the fourth topic is "I want to give birth to a monkey for Wang Zelin"...
Chaotingtai officially released a scarf called "Sword Pointing to Rio", and various official media immediately came out to help. Many entertainment stars also came to the scene and retweeted Chaotingtai's Weibo.
On this day, no one can take away the popularity of the Tianchao men’s basketball team.
"As a Chinese basketball player, I am extremely eager for us to stand on the podium this year!"
Wang Zelin, who scored 44 points, 18 rebounds, and 14 assists in the quarterfinals, said with confidence in an interview after the game.
Wang Zelin's post-game declaration seemed so domineering to Chinese reporters!
After the Chinese team defeated Argentina, the official website of the Asian Basketball Federation also posted the slogan "Glory Asia" to express blessings for the men's basketball team.
At the same time, the fans and media of the Great Cold Underworld are also secretly thinking about how to prove once again that Wang Zelin has the blood of the Great Cold Underworld flowing through him?
…
Across South America, the people of America were also deeply shocked by Wang Zelin's performance in this Olympics.
After 6 games at the Rio Olympics, he averaged 43.7 points per game, successfully surpassing the ancient great Oscar Mister, who averaged 42.3 points per game at the 1988 Seoul Olympics, the highest score in Olympic history!
It's truly amazing.
Unexpectedly, Wang Zelin's other statistics are also amazing, averaging 19.2 rebounds per game, 13.3 assists per game, 6.8 blocks per game, 3.3 steals per game, and the first five consecutive triple-doubles in the Olympics...
Judging from the performance of the five major forces, Wang Zelin's dominance in this Olympic Games is unprecedented and unprecedented.
"Wang completely changed my understanding of basketball! A seven-foot-tall point guard is so weird!"
"With all due respect, Wang is always the omnipotent god of war, whether in the NBA or international arenas!"
"Thanks to the appearance of Wang Zelin, I clearly realized how terrifying a Shark O'Neal who can shoot is."
"Shaquille O'Neal can shoot? It seems true!"
"Breaking through, attacking the frame, sky hook, mid-range... I have even mastered the three-point shot. I really don't know what else Wang Zelin can't do."
"Like... giving birth to a baby?"
"Ahem, please pay attention to the influence upstairs. This is a serious social networking site. Don't just drive."
"I often can't integrate with you because I don't vote for BT."
Sure enough, sand sculptures have no distinction of nationality.
…
After the match between the Chinese team and Argentina, another showdown on the 18th started soon.
Wang Zelin and his teammates finished celebrating in the locker room. After taking a shower, they ate two bananas and dealt with it casually before returning to the stadium... to the audience.
The second game was between the Spanish team and the Kangaroos national team.
The leader of the Spanish men's basketball team is still the Gasol brothers, and the other players are all very good. They have always been the traditional European powerhouses, and the overall strength is quite strong.
On the Kangaroo Country side, although the overall strength may be slightly inferior, their style is daring to fight and dare to fight... ahem, literally daring to fight and daring to fight.
As many people expected, this game should not be fierce and fierce, it should be tragic.
As the game progressed, the physical collisions between the two sides became more serious, and the players' anger was also brought out. Entering the second half, they were crutches, elbows, and black feet...
In order to win, both sides used all kinds of martial arts. In addition to normal methods, there were also a lot of extra tricks.
At the end of the quarter, there was even blood on the court. A substitute insider of the Kangaroos men's basketball team accidentally photographed the face of a Spanish defender when he was defending close to his face, causing his nose to break and bleeding on the spot.
If the referee hadn't stopped it in time, the two sides would probably have staged a real PK.
In the end, the Spanish team relied on the perfect cooperation of Gasso and Gasso in the penalty area to lead the national team to a narrow victory of 78:71. They won this meat grinder-like battle and successfully advanced to the semi-finals.
In this Olympics, apart from the history-breaking Chinese team, the Spanish team performed as steadily as ever. Although they advanced to second place in the group, they still showed the style of one of the world's top teams in the knockout stage.
After successfully advancing to the semi-finals, the Spanish team quickly appeared in the eyes of many people. Judging from the lineup, the Spanish team does have the possibility to defeat the Dream Team.
On August 19th, the Chinese team had a day off.
In addition to normal training, they also went to watch today's other two semi-final matches.
The third quarter-final match was between the United States and Croatia. There was almost no suspense in the game. No one thought that the Croatian teammates could beat the United States Dream Team.
The game started soon, and the course of the game was pretty much what the outside world predicted.
The leader of the Croatian men's basketball team is current NBA player Bojan Bokdanovic, plus potential newcomers Saric and Hezonja.
Their record in the group stage was actually the same as that of Argentina, but they were ranked fourth due to their head-to-head record and barely managed to break through the group stage, but this also proved their strength from the side.
It's just that they were so unlucky to meet the Dream Team... Even though this year's Dream Team 12 is known as the weakest Dream Team in history.
The Dream Team 12, which had been stumbling through the group stage, quickly revealed their bloodthirsty instincts in the knockout stage.
After the first quarter, the Dream Team led the opponent by 11 points;
At halftime, the Dream Team's lead reached 24 points;
Entering the second half, the Dream Team still had no intention of being merciful. They closed their eyes and randomly matched up the all-star lineup, quickly setting off waves of attacks on the court;
At the end of the game, the Dream Team scored the highest score in a single game of this Olympic Games - 155 points!
They were most likely stimulated by media public opinion. After all, no one wants to be called the "weakest dream team in history." In order to fight back against these ridiculous remarks, they chose to scare the monkeys.
Unfortunately, the Croatian team happened to hit the muzzle of the gun and encountered the Dream Team, who were full of anger and needed to vent their anger.
At 155:88, the Dream Team defeated the Croatian team by 67 points in the third quarterfinals, creating the largest point difference in a single game at this Olympics.
After this game, some face of the Dream Team 12 was saved to a certain extent, but many people still questioned the gold content of this game.
Who makes the Croatian team only fourth in Cricket Group B? If the Dream Team 12 wants to prove its dominance, it still needs to perform more convincingly against stronger opponents.
In the afternoon, the final quarter-final match began, with the Lithuanian team facing off against the French team, with the two sides competing for the last spot in the semi-finals.
Both sides are old and powerful teams in international competitions. They are both strong teams in Europe. The former Tianchao men's basketball coach Yunas is a Lithuanian.
The biggest difference between the two teams may be that the Lithuanian team players are relatively young, while the French team players are a bit older.
Especially Tony Parker, the tactical core of the French team, as a member of the Spurs GDP, the French sports car that was in its prime was no longer able to compete with time and turned into an old sports car.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In addition, the Argentina team suffered a reversal in the last quarter yesterday. Ginobili bid farewell to his national team career in tears after the game. Many French fans cast sympathetic looks.
, the eyes looking at Parker, the core of the French team, were also full of worry.
I hope he will never be influenced by his old NBA teammates and must perform well!
After the game started, the two sides exchanged firepower in the first half, and it was difficult to separate for a while.
After entering the second half, the scores of both sides increased alternately. No one could tell who would have the last laugh between the French team and the Lithuanian team.
Until the last three minutes, the French team and the Lithuanian team were tied at 75:75. After the French team coach called a timeout, the old French sports car returned to the field as if it had a new engine and began to run wildly on the field.
, tearing apart the Lithuanian men’s basketball team’s defense again and again.
Thanks to Parker's star-like performance in the last three minutes, scoring 6 points, the French team successfully opened up the score at the critical moment and narrowly defeated the Lithuanian team by 85:83.
Since then, all the top four teams of this Olympic Games have been announced. According to the promotion time, they are the Chinese team, the Spanish team, the American team and the French team.
According to the rules of the Olympic men's basketball competition, the top two teams in the same group and the first place in the group will avoid the semi-finals. The four teams will play against each other as follows:
The winner of A2vsB3 plays against the winner of B1vsA4, and the winner of B2vsA3 plays against the winner of A1vsB4.
That is, the Chinese team will face the French team in the semi-finals, and the Spanish team will face the Dream Team.
After the two groups compete, the winning team will compete for the championship and runner-up, while the losing team will compete for the bronze medal for third and fourth place.
Whether the men's basketball team can make further progress and whether Wang Zelin can realize his deepest ambition for the gold medal depends on the last two games.
