A day later, Wukesong was once again occupied by the men’s basketball game.
The match on the third day started with Iran versus Lithuania. The result of this match was no surprise at all. The Lithuanian team easily won the match.
Then came Croatia vs. Russia. The game was quite intense and the two teams were hard to beat, but in the end, Croatia won this key battle with the help of a more integrated team.
This victory is very important for Croatia, because the situation in Group A is that Argentina and Lithuania lock in the top two, and Croatia, Australia and Russia compete for the other two qualifying places. This direct victory means that Croatia has the advantage of qualifying.
After Croatia and Russia retired, Germany and Greece appeared, and the boys of the men's basketball team also arrived at Wukesong in advance.
They first appeared in the arena, because the two teams playing will be the direct opponents of the men's basketball team. Yunus asked the men's basketball team to watch half of the game before returning to the locker room to prepare for the next men's basketball game.
The game against Angola.
After watching half of the scene, Lin Yu quickly understood Yunus’ intention.
"The Greek team played too hard. In comparison, Germany is like an NBA team that only relies on Dirk and Chris Kaman."
"So, what Lao You means is that if we cannot be more integrated than Germany, we will also encounter trouble when facing the Greek team."
Dayao gave Lin Yu a thumbs up: "That's good understanding. That's what Lao You obviously means."
Lin Yu secretly shook his head. It was obviously impossible for the Chinese team to play as well as the European team.
He also believes that the way the men's basketball team played against the Dream Team in the last game was the correct way. Focusing on him and Dayao and uniting other players is the easier way to make the men's basketball team a whole.
After watching halftime, the men’s basketball players left the court one after another.
The popularity of the match between Germany and Greece was average, so the appearance of Lin Yu and Dayao was actually the most enthusiastic period in the arena.
However, they did not disturb the two teams playing on the field and left in a hurry.
The match between Germany and Greece came to an end quickly, and the result was no surprise. Greece, which was more integrated, defeated the German team with Nowitzki and Chris Kaman.
In the competition for the two qualifying spots, Germany and Greece are also direct competitors. Germany's loss means that the men's basketball team only needs to defeat Germany and Angola later to ensure a qualifying spot.
Later, the men's basketball team's game against Angola started.
Although Angola is an African team, most of its core players play in Europe, and their style of play is chaotic. It is more like a European team without an entire team. The core members of the team are Miguel Rutonda and Olimpio Cipriano.
, Joaquim Gomez and Eduardo Mingas all play in the European League.
Only youngster Emmanuel Neto plays for the NCAA in the United States. After losing the draft last year, he continued to study and play in American universities. He is considered a veteran who is older than a senior.
Such a team is naturally the weakest in the entire Olympic men's basketball competition.
The men's basketball team even considered scoring points against such an opponent.
The game was one-sided from the beginning. Lin Yu didn't even exert any force. The men's basketball team relied on Zhu Fangyu, Sun Yue and Dayao's consecutive long-range shots to instantly take an 8:2 lead.
The Angola team also failed to organize effective resistance. After a timeout, they could not find the target on the offensive end.
On the men's basketball team, even though Lin Yu was messing around, he still hit Hu with a mid-range shot after the timeout.
The men's basketball team continued to widen the score gap. In just the first half of the first quarter, they played a 14:2 wave. By the end of the first quarter, the score had become 28:15. The men's basketball team had gained early.
A big lead.
From the beginning of the second quarter, the Angola team relied on their bodies and the absence of Lin Yu and Dayao to occupy the advantage on the court. They launched a wave of 6:0 attacks and chased 6 points in a row.
But as Lin Yu reappeared, the situation immediately reversed.
At halftime, the men's basketball team continued to maintain a big lead at 58:44.
In the second half, the men's basketball team's lead continued to widen, and at the end of the third quarter, the score became 79:52.
Finally, in the fourth quarter, Yunus chose to use all substitutes.
Because the Olympic men's basketball competition is still very close, with basically one game every two days, it is a huge test for the physical fitness of the main players.
In this way, the men's basketball team easily won the first game of the Olympic Games.
"The victory in this game doesn't mean anything. Angola is not a strong opponent. This game is a matter of course for us. Now, we should turn our attention to the next three games."
In the next three games, the men's basketball team will first face Germany, then Greece, and finally a deadly clash with Spain.
In other words, the specific process of these three games will be to first fight Germany to determine a qualifying spot, then defeat Greece to ensure the top three, and finally fight against Spain. Whether the top two will be determined depends on this last game.
A fairly perfect schedule, with pressure ranging from small to high, and very layered.
After the game in Angola, Lin Yu took his teammates out to have a good time, which could be regarded as a celebration of his first victory.
Although this celebration seems a bit early.
But the meal was relatively vegetarian, with no wine, just a few simple Beijing dishes, and the topic of discussion was also related to the upcoming competition.
In the midst of disbelief, Lin Yu suddenly expressed his thoughts:
"The task given to us by the leaders of the Basketball Association is to secure six and compete for four. I think we should go further."
Next, he gave the reason: "This is the Olympics we are playing at our home stadium. We have an advantage. I think we cannot waste this advantage. This is also our opportunity. If we cannot get a medal, this time
The result of the Olympics is failure."
Without waiting for his teammates to express their opinions, Lin Yu continued: "I have done calculations. For us, the easiest and easiest way to get medals is to finish second in the group and then compete in Group A.
The two strongest teams, thus avoiding the United States and Spain in Group B, and if we reach the final, we can guarantee a silver medal."
"Second? Then don't we have to beat Spain in the group stage?"
Sun Yue questioned, this guy is considered the most active one among the 12 people in the Olympics.
Lin Yu nodded: "Fight against Spain in the group stage, or fight against Spain in the knockout round, you choose one."
Sun Yue was stunned: "I choose to compete against Spain in the group stage."
"Then it's over. I'm just saying this to tell everyone that our goal starts right now, winning three consecutive group matches. If we can do that, we have a very high chance of winning a medal!"
"This is our local Olympics. I believe no one wants to leave any regrets..."
