990 is so capricious
The Chinese men's basketball team defeated France with 30 points, easily advanced to the second round of the knockout round, and also entered the quarterfinals.
The other three games between Group C and Group B were also soon ended. Turkey, the second host of Group C, faced New Zealand, and won 6-6 and advanced to the quarterfinals. Russia, the third in Group C, faced Spain, the second in Group B, who is worthy of being the No. 1 European champion and won the victory with 866 soldiers without bloodshed.
It is not easy for Russia to get to this point. They are not optimistic before the game: the absolute core Kirilenko's absence, Coriapa also missed the World Championship due to injury, and the withdrawal of two American veterans, Holden and McCarthy, made Russia not have a "naturalized" player for the first time in the competition in recent years. At that time, experts even concluded that Russia could not make it out of the group stage.
But even in the competition with the Chinese team, they performed well. The backcourt is young and impactful. Although the inside is rough, the height and hardness are putting great pressure on the Chinese team. Especially center Mozgov, who is about to join the Knicks, has used his physical advantages to force the inside when Chamberlain was out of the field many times. He, Bekov, Ponkrasov and others constitute the future of Russian basketball.
As for Lithuania, which is the first in Group B, it is naturally even more powerful. They will play the fourth Greek team in Group C, which is also a European powerful, and will win 19 points with a 70-l-1 victory. The Greek team will withdraw in disgrace. Now they can only hope that the big brother of the group stage Chinese men's basketball team can teach a lesson | Lithuania.
Lithuania is a well-deserved dark horse in this World Championship. They even missed the quarterfinals last year in the European Championship, and they only barely participated in this World Championships by relying on the FIBA green card.
After the veterans of Siscoscas, Jascovis, Massianscas, Kaukenas, Dalius Sangela bid farewell to the national team one after another, the Lavrinovic brothers, who are in the European League, missed the World Championships due to injury. Their strength was questioned by the outside world before the game.
As a result, no one expected that this team of Lithuania, which is mediocre, has complete fighting spirit and unyielding resilience. With France and Spain, they won by reversal.
Lithuania often sends small lineups, and Jakunas, who is 2.04 meters, often hits the center position, so they use extremely aggressive defense and decisive outside attacks to fight against their opponents.
Although it has become the biggest "dark horse" in this cup, objectively speaking, it is an indisputable fact that Lithuania's basketball level has declined. Although it has played very hard, the talent of these young players is mediocre. If they want to reshape the glory of Lithuanian basketball, they still have a longer way to go.
There is nothing to say about the match between Group A and Group B. The Dream Team is still so unparalleled. The Chinese team only cares about this team, because the one who meets them in the finals must be the Dream Team.
However, Serbia, the number one in Group A, is also a variable.
In the 2007 European Championship, Serbia lost all three games in the group stage. In the game to Greece, Milicic cursed the referee because of dissatisfaction with the penalty and was unstoppable, claiming to rape the referee's daughter. He was suspended by the FIBA for one year after the game. The veteran team suffered the most painful defeat in the international competition.
At the same time, their Hl9 youth team defeated the United States team with Michael's title and won the World Youth Championship; the U0 youth team also won the European Youth Championship under the leadership of Teodosic.
This made the Serbian Basketball Association determined to make a big change. In the subsequent 2009 European Championship, the Youth Guards reached the finals, shocking the whole world.
In Türkiye this year, Serbian youth army once again used its outstanding performance to prove that last year's runner-up was not accidental
Previously, the Chinese men's basketball team's overseas training team played two games with Serbia, with one win and one loss. As long as Chamberlain did not explode, the Chinese men's basketball team could not play with others at all.
Serbia now provides a flaunt for the Chinese men's basketball team. This team fell to a trough in 2007, and now it has quickly returned to the ranks of world-class teams with a group of youth troops. It took less than two years to do so. It is really shocking.
The most amazing thing about Serbia is its super strong hematopoietic ability, which gives them a stable star production line. When their opponents in the second-year finals were still relying on Luis Carlos Delfinos to support them, Serbia is ready to continue to lead the world basketball in the next ten years.
There is still a distance between the finals, and after the quarterfinals, the Chinese team meets the Spanish team.
These two teams have a lot of connections recently. At the Beijing Olympics in 2008, the Spanish team formed the strongest lineup in history and prepared to show their strength in the Beijing Olympics. As a result, they met the fledgling and terrifying Chamberlain, who almost destroyed their hopes with one hand.
This time at the World Championships, the two teams met again, and it was the semi-finals.
The Spanish team cannot afford to lose this time. In recent years, since Gasol appeared, this team has begun to walk around the world basketball world as a top-notch master.
At the Beijing Olympics, this Spanish team was overturned by the Chinese men's basketball team, which made the Spanish domestic sports media lose their voice for several days. Later, the Spanish men's basketball team returned to China and almost became a national sinner.
This kind of treatment is not pretentious about Spanish sports media, but mainly because the Spanish team currently has many titles, which are indeed worthy of high standards, strict requirements and high expectations.
2UU Japan World Championships, Spain is the champion, 6 years Beijing Olympics, they are bronze medals, and last year's European Championships started, they are still champions
The glory and achievements of the past four years show that the Spanish team is currently at the top of the world and is regarded as the favorite to win the championship that can compete with the United States. When the team plays in the World Championships this time, the team's goal is naturally to defend the title.
However, since the World Championships started, the Spanish men's basketball team has found that it is too difficult for them to defend the title this time, and it is even more difficult to suppress the Chinese men's basketball team to defend the title.
Originally, the B Group B of the Spanish men's basketball team belongs to have strong teams like Lithuania and France, but it is probably not difficult for Spain to defeat these two teams to qualify as the first in the group. Teams such as New Zealand, Canada and Lebanon may not be able to pose much threat to Spain.
As a result, although Lithuania did not have many stars, they were all practical and fierce in the game. It was a very painful thing for the Spanish team to be technically thriving.
You know, this time the Spanish men's basketball team is short of players, Paul Sol, the main player in the interior, and Calderon, the main player in the exterior, both are absent.
Although the team's absolute core Paul Sol is missing, the Spanish team is still very powerful. After confirming that they will play against the Chinese team, their head coach Scarioro said: "The absence of Gasol and Calderon does not affect us. Our goal here is to win rather than lose. No matter who we meet, there is only one thing to do, step on them and win the championship."
It is not a big deal that Scarioro is so confident. After all, the Spanish men's basketball team has achieved remarkable results in international competitions in recent years. PIBA officially ranked it second in the world. La Liga has even become the second best basketball league in the world after the NH. At present, Spanish basketball is following their football and has developed to a golden period.
During the group stage, the shape of Group B was brighter. First, it was either the Spanish team or the Lithuanian team. As a result, after the two teams met, the Spanish team lost unfortunately.
At that time, the Spanish team expressed dissatisfaction. A pride like Golden Boy Rubio even felt secretly happy. He told reporters before: "We have been looking for an opportunity and an opportunity to take revenge. During the last Olympics, we made some mistakes that disappointed our fans. Now, it is time to make up for these mistakes."
After Gasol and Calderon both missed the game, Spain's core became Navarro and Rubio.
Navarro is the captain of the national team of the World Championships. After all, he is mature and has a good overall view. He is now 3 years old, which is the golden age of a basketball player. He also has dual experience in NHE IHAR: he once played for the NHA Grizzlies, and his most precious youth was left to the European giant Barcelona.
Navarro was not very comfortable in the NH. He returned to Europe last season and led Barcelona to win the Champions League trophy and won the MP
He is the leader and center of scoring at critical moments of Spain. His perfect small shot has earned him the reputation of "bomb". As an excellent long-range shooter, he can hit three-pointers no matter what the situation is. In addition, his speed is very fast, not only with excellent ball control skills to break through and score by himself, but he is the key man at the Spanish World Championships.
Although the Spanish team still has excellent players such as Fernandez and Suarez, if we look forward from the perspective of the future, what performance can Navarro's teammate "Golden Boy" Rubio in Barcelona in the World Championships is more worth looking forward to.
As the youngest player in the La Liga, Rubio has already been amazing in the sixth Olympic Games. He is astonishing as he can be described as horror, and he has a good overall view. When he first played for Barcelona in the Champions League semi-finals, Rubio tied the number of assists in the history of the semi-finals.
In addition, his rebounding and scoring strength are also good. His body is not strong, but his sense of rhythm and balance are extremely excellent. In the draft last year, he was selected by the Timberwolves in the fifth pick, but finally decided to stay in La Liga and continue playing for a year, and he will only enter the NH this year.
The Spanish team is probably the least afraid of the Chinese men's basketball team, so they were so calm when they learned that the Chinese team was the first in Group C and they were the second in Group B.
The two core members of this team, Navarro and Rubio, either have never played the NHA or played the NHAR spoon, and they did not catch up with the most terrifying opportunity of Chamberlain, so they are under pressure but more motivated when fighting Chamberlain.
The Spanish team also has the strength to challenge the Chinese men's basketball team. Although there are no Calderon and Gasol, they retained most of the main players in the 6-year Olympics and 2009 European Championships, such as Rubio, Navarro, Fernandez, Calderon, Gabayosa and many other strong players with experience in the world competitions.
In short, in terms of this year's record, team strength and tactical system stability, the Spanish team is second to none among all teams, and even surpasses the American Dream Team.
The three most dazzling teams in the World Championships, the Dream Team, the Dragon Team and the Spanish Team.
Now, the Chinese men's basketball team is the first to fight against the Spanish men's basketball team, and both teams can't afford to lose this time.
The Spanish team is the defending champion of the World Championships, the bronze medal of the Olympics, the champion of the European Championships, and the Chinese team is the silver medal of the Olympics, and comes directly for the championship. If the loser of the two teams, they can't even get the semi-finals, which means there is no medal.
Therefore, this game became the most exciting game second only to the finals. Tickets have been sold out long ago. Compared with the other three finals, this game naturally received more attention, and the ratings are expected to break the record of the opening match between the Chinese and Greek teams.
