Chapter 337: Fulfilling the Mission

Croatia doesn't have a good way, even if it's only Yao Ming, if there is no full-court defensive bonus, they are not necessarily the opponents of the national team, not to mention now, this is a gap in strength. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Winning a strong over a weak often requires several prerequisites, and in this game, Croatia did not find it, and the national team did not give the opponent such a chance.

After the second half, Yao Ming reappeared on the pitch and brought Croatia the final blow, losing all the inside and outside, and suffering heavy losses, making the Croatian team accept the fate that they would be eliminated.

"At the end of the game, the national team tactics Croatia 93:76, advanced to the final semifinals, and advanced to the semifinals!"

"This is the first time in the history of the national team to reach the semi-finals, the boys of the national team have made history, but this is not the end, they will continue to go on and hit the first medal in the history of the national men's basketball team in the history of the Olympic Games!"

"Arise, ...... you who do not want to be slaves"

The national flag fluttered, the fans sang the national anthem, everyone stood up from their chairs, and some people had crystal tears hanging from the corners of their eyes.

However, the game that was going on did not give the fans more time to celebrate, although they were extremely reluctant, but they could only use their own cheers to watch the national team that had completed its mission leave the stadium!

The most eye-catching match between Team USA and Australia has begun, but they can't make any waves in this arena!

The arena became quiet, the game became boring, and even the gorgeous dunks of the American team were no longer attractive, and fans began to leave the court one after another.

CCTV5's live broadcast continues, but the screen is no longer showing the game, but interviewing the national team players one after another.

"It was fantastic, the players did a great job, the result was perfect, we did something we couldn't have imagined!" - Younas.

"I'm so excited right now, really, like I'm in a dream, I didn't expect us to qualify for the semi-finals!" -- Zhu Fangyu.

"Playing on our home turf is both pressure and motivation, and luckily we managed to turn all that pressure into motivation for ourselves!" -- Yi Jianlian.

"Although the process of the game is very difficult, from the group stage to the final four, we have defeated some opponents who have never been defeated, this is not the credit of one person, me or Shi Lei, each of us played very well, like Zhu Fangyu, and the United Arab Emirates, roughly, they have brought a lot of help to the team. Of course, Shi Lei is really good, it feels very easy to play with him, his organization of the team, as well as the defense, has benefited each of us a lot! - Yao Ming.

"I am very happy, to be able to live up to the mission, and finally live up to the hopes of the fans, their cheers have given us a lot of help, thank you very much to the domestic fans, and hope that the fans and friends can continue to support us, our journey is not over, and it is far from the end, of course, we may fail, but in any case, we will not stop our pursuit of victory!" -- Shi Lei.

....... The interviews were long and scattered, each with their own ideas and opinions, but the same thing was that they had the same joy in their hearts. This joy that can be empathized with by the vast majority of fans has not caused the ratings to drop because of this!

In the stadium not far from the hot national team interview, the match between the United States team and Australia finally ended, and the Australian team did not fight back and the American team was easily killed, and the American team became the third team to enter the semifinals tonight.

Then, the final match of the night kicked off, with Greece and Argentina in the stadium where the fans had already left for the final quarter-final match.

The Greek team is strong, but Argentina is also at the peak of their history. Ginobili still has a ring of hair left, and the team's center Scola has also established himself in the NBA, in addition, they also have the Spurs' main center Oberto, the Bulls' small forward Nocioni, and the Pistons' point guard Delfino.

It was one of the most scorching games of the night.

The margin between the two sides was negligible in the first quarter, with Greece gaining a slight two-point advantage over Papalukas' buzzer-kick.

Back in the second quarter, Argentina quickly had Scola erase the difference, and then the two teams fell into a tug-of-war again, and the score alternated upwards.

Greece have strong defensive ability and more rigorous tactics, but Argentina also have Ginobili's sharp breakthrough and Scola's near-perfect pace to the basket.

After a year in the NBA, Scola ended up being the force that decided the game.

Although Scola often appears as a center forward in the Argentine lineup, his real position on the court is still in the power forward position. Due to his height, Scola rarely runs deep to ask for the ball, and more often uses his feet to attack the basket after winning the ball in the middle distance.

However, more attention is paid to the offensive ability of the players, so that the Greek team does not have the advantage of height on the inside, and at the same time, it is also a little unsatisfactory defensively. For them, they can choose to spare Yao Ming when defending Yao, but when it comes to defending Scola, they are a little overwhelmed.

In the final minutes of the third quarter, when the two sides were feeling a little less due to physical problems, Scola made consecutive inside breakaways and led the Greek team by five points at the end of the third quarter.

It was a very small gap, but the Greek team used up a whole quarter of time, and finally did not catch up, until the last second of the game, the Greek team was still two points behind Argentina, and they could only end their Olympic journey with a "regret defeat"!

After this match, the quarter-finals schedule is over, and the semi-finals matchups are also announced.

Team USA vs. Spain, national team vs. Argentina!

"Argentina?"

Sleepy lying on the sofa in the room, Shi Lei finally turned off the TV with confidence, Argentina is not an easy opponent, but Shi Lei is more afraid of advancing to Greece, this is not only a matter of strength, but also the restraint of the lineup, in comparison, the restraint of the Argentine national team is not so powerful!
