Chapter 443: Top Four!
A farce.
The last three referees who were reprimanded gave their verdicts.
Australia suffered three technical fouls and China suffered two technical fouls.
After being reprimanded, they didn't dare to do anything anymore, and they were honestly punished.
"The referee is making amends, and he was a little too biased towards the Australian team before." Yu Jia said.
"Before? Isn't it biased now? It's obvious that the opposite side is looking for something, and the corner of the UAE's eye is injured, so there is one more technical foul, isn't this bias? Zhang retorted.
He doesn't think that the referee is looking for a supplement, and if he really makes a supplement, he should ban the player who committed the foul.
It's all red.
......
"Brother Lian, are you okay?"
Xu Xuan looked at the United Arab League with his eyebrows and feet taped and asked.
Ah Lian shook his head, "It's okay, it's not cracked." ”
The eyebrows and feet are a relatively fragile position, and if they are cracked, they will need stitches, and they should only break a little skin, which is not a big problem.
The Australian team is purely disgusting with the Chinese team, and they don't dare to make big moves, after all, this is the stage of the Olympic Games, and many things can't be suppressed.
That's it for the next game...... It's even hotter!
Although he couldn't do it, Xu Xuan scored even more ruthlessly than just now.
In less than 2 minutes, Xu Xuan scored 10 points alone!
By the end of the game, the individual single-game score exceeded 60 points, breaking the Olympic single-game scoring record of 55 points in one fell swoop.
The overall score did not disappoint, 98-68, slaughtering Australia by 30 points!
30 points of victory!
The fans of the Chinese team present were overjoyed, although they were disgusted in the middle, but they were happy enough to be able to slaughter the opposite side by 30 points.
Especially Xu Xuan's side, he scored 60 points in a single game, which is simply appalling.
......
After the end of this "war of grievances", the media at home and abroad also reported the whole process for the first time, and also reported the discordant scene that occurred in the middle of the game.
Most people can see that it's the Australian team doing something.
The Chinese team was forced to fight back.
But there are also some shameless ones, and they are still attacking and smearing, in this regard, the Chinese team delegation also held a news media conference.
Lay out the facts, be reasonable, and whoever is is whomever is whom.
Again, we don't cause trouble, but we're not afraid of it!
It will not wronged people.
That's the principle of doing things.
......
The Internet was still boiling, and Xu Xuan didn't pay too much attention to it.
The injury to the eyebrows and feet of the United Arab Emirates is not serious, and after treatment, it has recovered well, but it is still a little swollen.
Many of the athletes from other sports in the delegation came to visit the UAE.
On the same day, the Chinese team and Australia were the first game, and there were two more to come.
They are the United States against Serbia and France against Venezuela.
Just as the Chinese team slaughtered Australia by 30 points, it is also surprising that the American team only won Serbia by 3 points in the end.
Serbia's strength has also awakened many people, especially the fans who hope that the Chinese team will reach the semifinals or even win medals, and they are a little vigilant.
There are too many strong opponents, and it is too difficult for the Chinese team to go further.
France defeated Venezuela and won two, so that after three rounds of matches, the points situation in Group A is still relatively clear.
The U.S. team is first with four wins, China is second with three wins and one loss, Australia and France are tied for third with two wins and two losses, Serbia is fourth with one win and three losses, and Venezuela is at the bottom of the rankings with four wins.
The next day, the Group B match was also played.
Lithuania was snapped by Spain and currently has a record of three wins and one loss.
Croatia also lost to Nigeria, with a record of two wins and two losses, while Argentina beat Brazil with three wins and one loss.
Then the first place in the group becomes Lithuania and Argentina are both three wins and one loss, the second place in the group is Spain and Croatia, both with two wins and two losses, and Nigeria and Brazil are both at the bottom with one win and three losses.
If nothing else, Serbia and Venezuela will be eliminated from Group A, while Nigeria and Brazil will be eliminated from Group B.
In the previous life, Serbia reached the finals with the United States team, and in the end they almost won the championship and won a silver medal.
This time, because of the birth of the Chinese team, it was actually going to be eliminated.
......
Soon, it was the final day of the group stage. The opponent of the Chinese team in the final round is Serbia.
Today the Chinese team is the finale of Group A.
In the previous two games, the United States team finally defeated the French team by 3 points and maintained the record of winning all the groups.
Australia beat Venezuela and now have the same points as China.
Serbia still have theoretical hopes of qualifying, and as long as they win this game, they still have hope of qualifying.
After all, they won the same as the French team, both of which were two wins.
Serbia also has a good number of NBA players.
List:
Teodosic, Šimonovic, Bogdan Bogdanovic, Markovic, Kalinic, Nedovic, Bilsevic, Radulica, Jokic, Stimac, Jovic, McWan.
Needless to say, everyone understands it.
Bogdan Bogdanovic is also a very strong player.
There are several other active NBA players who have turned down the Olympics, such as Pistons center Marjanovic and Timberwolves Bjelica who are unable to participate in the Olympics due to injury.
Serbia had previously qualified for the Rio Olympics by losing the qualifying round.
Xu Xuan flipped through their lineup list.
Known as "Europe's No. 1 point guard", Teodosic is undoubtedly the spiritual leader of Serbia, and the 29-year-old Te'o is 1.95m, a point guard, who made a name for himself at the 2010 World Men's Basketball Championships when he hit a crucial three-pointer in the final minute to beat Spain. There have been NBA teams that have offered Teodosic an olive branch, including the Rockets, who have also made a contract offer for him, but Te'o has never joined the NBA.
However, a strong guard is a good thing for Xu Xuan, and it is better than being strong inside.
The defender is strong, he can deal with it, but he is afraid that the inside line will be strong, and the inside line of the Chinese team will be blown up.
Serbia played very hard, but there was no way, Xu Xuan was super god in this game.
He scored 42 points, 4 assists, and 5 rebounds, and led the Chinese team to the fourth victory in the group stage of this Olympic Games.
Not easy, very hard!
The first two wins, especially the one against Venezuela, were relatively easy, but the last two games, including the one that slaughtered Australia, if it weren't for Xu Xuan's super play, maybe someone would have died.
......
The men's basketball group stage ended, and there were no accidents, and the Chinese team finally completed the promotion with a score of 4 wins and 1 loss.
Group 2.
Xu Xuan averaged 39 points, 5 assists, 5 rebounds, 2 steals, and 1 block per game in these five games, and was named the best player in the group stage.
In Group A, Serbia and Venezuela were eliminated.
The top spot is the United States, China is second, Australia is third, and France is fourth.
Teacher Yoo was forced to end his Olympic journey early.
Eliminated from Group B are hosts Brazil and Nigeria.
Croatia is in first place, followed by Spain, Lithuania in third and Argentina in fourth.
What's more interesting is that these three teams have a final record of 3 wins and 2 losses...... Therefore, this ranking is not interesting, and everyone's strength can be said to be very close.
The group stage is followed by a knockout round.
The competition system is that the first place in Group A plays the fourth place in Group B, and then two plays three, and three plays two, so the first opponent of the Chinese team in the knockout round is Lithuania.
Once the opponent has decided, it's time for daily training.
Soon, the group stage of the women's basketball team was also completed, and finally defeated Serbia with a record of 2 wins and 3 losses and successfully advanced.
The men's and women's basketball teams advanced to the quarterfinals at the same time, and in the past two days, Da Yao's mouth is about to burst with laughter.
He is the general leader of the basketball team of this Olympic Games, whether it is men's basketball or women's basketball, he is in charge, which has achieved good results, and naturally he also has his credit.
......
On the 17th, the first game of the knockout round was the Chinese team playing Lithuania.
In the Lithuanian team, the configuration is not as luxurious as France and Australia, but there are also many NBA players.
Kumincas, who recently joined the NBA Knicks, is now a center Valenciunas who plays for the NBA Raptors, and Matthew Lis, a staunch who plays for Real Madrid (basketball) in La Liga. In addition, veterans such as Jan Kunas, Sebutis, and Jaftokas were also called up to the team.
And Motai Yunas, who played for the Rockets last season and is still an NBA free agent, recently announced that he would not participate in the Olympics, and he naturally fell out of this list. It is worth mentioning that Sabonis Jr., the son of Lithuanian men's basketball legend Sabonis, who just participated in the NBA draft this summer and joined the Thunder, was also shortlisted for the Olympic 12-man list.
What's funnier is that Sabonis Jr. is still a fan of Xu Xuan, and he has been pestering Xu Xuan to sign sneakers before the game.
Xu Xuan is also tired, aren't your father's signature sneakers fragrant?
I have to do it.
Besides, you are a 208 long man, shouldn't your idols be O'Neal, Russell, Chamberlain, I'm a small defender, you fans are a fart.
However, Xu Xuan still gave him a pair of signed sneakers.
This time when he came to the Olympics, Lin Yun prepared hundreds of pairs of signed sneakers and signed jerseys for him.
No way, the name is too big.
To some extent, Xu Xuan's name now even overshadows those players of the American team.
Newly released NBA champion and FMVP, who can compare to this honor?
......
At four o'clock in the afternoon, the game officially began.
There are two games today, and the Chinese team played Lithuania only the first one.
Both teams fielded their starters.
Seriously, there are not many people in this group of people in the Lithuanian team, Xu Xuan is really not a few people, and their names are very artistic.
XX Si · XX ......
I can tell the difference between one and two, and after listening to it a lot, I can't tell what it is, anyway, I know what is standing in front of me......
Xu Xuan was dizzy, and for the first time, he felt that it was so difficult to remember his name.
This game is still very technical, the two sides failed to distinguish the winner in the first three quarters, until the last quarter, relying on Xu Xuan's wave, defeated the opponent with a score difference of 80 to 72, 8 points, and successfully advanced to the next round!
There's no such thing as a best-of-three or best-of-five games in an Olympic game, it's just a winner-or-loser, so sometimes the game can be very brutal.
After all, you can't guarantee that your state will always be so good, once the state is not good, it is normal for anyone to lose.
It is quite surprising that China defeated Lithuania cleanly.
It was a somewhat surprising result.
The fact is that from the very beginning of the game, the Lithuanian team did not take the lead.
They didn't play their own characteristics in offense - integrity, and the defensive end couldn't limit Xu Xuan's crazy scoring, even if they blew up the rest of the Chinese team, it was still useless.
Interestingly, Lithuania's bench players scored 18 more points than China.
In other words, they scored 18 more points off the bench than the Chinese team.
But in such a situation, they still lost.
Xu Xuan can't be restricted at all, he can do anything from heaven to earth.
The Chinese team successfully entered the semi-finals!
This is already the best record ever recorded in the Olympic Games.
Da Yao is smiling every day, no way, there are expectations for this Olympic Games, but they really didn't think they could reach the semifinals, the best thing they thought about before was to qualify for the group stage, but they didn't expect that this not only qualified, but also reached the semifinals!
Now some people have shouted the slogan "Strive for the silver medal, strive for the bronze medal".
It's easy to say, but it's not that easy to do.
Lithuania is still a bit empty, their main players are old, and with a few young players who have just joined the NBA, it is impossible to go far.
Even if you don't meet the Chinese team this time, if you meet other teams, you probably still have to kneel, and you may have to kneel even worse.
The Chinese team reached the semi-finals, and the fans were overjoyed.
“…… Haha, I knew it. Win pretty! Win simply! I knew you could do it, 100 percent, and shut up all those who couldn't eat grapes and said they were sour! We just won! And win cleanly! ”
"It's too strong! Xu Xuan is so strong! Another 40+! Scoring is too easy for him! ”
"Final four! Final Four! I can't believe that one day, we will also be able to reach the semi-finals of the Olympic Games! In the annals of history, this is the best result of the Olympic Games! ”
Zhang Li stood on the commentary platform and laughed heartily, the muddy laughter echoed muffled in his chest, like a muffled thunder on the edge of the sky, buzzing, and even his whole body trembled slightly with excitement, and the smile between his eyebrows stretched out like this, and it seemed that even the clouds had turned into a good weather in autumn.
The wanton laughter carried a special contagion, which made Yu Jia's mood happy, and couldn't help revealing a bright smile, "I knew, I knew, there was a possibility of a miracle this year!" Sure enough, Xu Xuan didn't disappoint me, didn't disappoint the fans! ”
