Turkey were good, but against Spain, they fell behind at the start and didn't find any good chances in the whole game.

Spain is also known for its ability to paddle and knock out the group stage.

They won a few games in the group stage, but when it came to the knockout round, they were like two teams.

Big Gasol and Navarro are full of firepower inside and outside, and the Turks who fight are taking care of one and losing the other.

finally survived more than half a quarter, and I thought that I could breathe a sigh of relief when I got to the substitute connection.

Unexpectedly, the two-gun firepower of Fernandez and Rodriguez, who came on as substitutes, was even more ferocious!

Throughout the game, the Spanish team maintained a score difference of 15~20 points after opening the score, and finally defeated the Turkish team 87-72 to get the first quarterfinals.

Pau Gasol contributed a team-high 19 points and 15 rebounds.

The second most points were scored by Fernandes on the bench, who scored 18 points!

Fernandez's style of play is not quite the same as that of the rest of the Spanish team, and his style of play can be called "violent flow".

Baldness is a violent buckle, and a fast attack is a lever when it flies.

This guy doesn't look particularly strong, but he likes to dunk very much, and he dunks very strongly.

He's more of a dunk.

This is a far cry from the way he played in the youth team.

And his individual ability is excellent, and the combination of sudden shots is perfect, which is much better than Bruton and the like.

After watching it, Sun Hao also has a new understanding of Fernandez's current style of play.

He suddenly felt that if the Lakers could really pick him out, it wouldn't be a loss?

If he's not mistaken, in history, Fernandez was only a second-round show because of his thin body?

The match between Spain and Turkey was played, followed by China and Germany.

The last time the Sino-German battle happened was in the four years, and that time was also the World Championships.

The rising Chinese team and the in-form German team met in the third and fourth place finals.

The winner gets the first medal in the history of the national team, while the loser gets nothing.

In the end, the Chinese team successfully won the bronze with the advantage of "two to one".

Four years have passed, and the two teams have met again, and it has been a matter of fact.

The Chinese team reached its peak after four years, while the German team was somewhat stagnant, and even regressed a little because of Nowitzki's form.

The outcome of this game can be imagined.

Although Nowitzki's form picked up and he scored 26 points, this time he was invincible with two fists and was beaten to death by random punches.

91 to 71, the Chinese team scored double doubles and won easily.

In the fourth quarter, Sun Hao had already left the game to drink tea in advance.

However, looking at the old driver on the field who was still trying to help the team chase points, the tea in his hand suddenly felt not so healthy.

You must know that they showed affection together in the Dallas Trident, and now he and Nash are both proud, but the old driver is ......

Why don't you wait for O'Neill to retire and try to get Kupchak to sign the old driver to renew the lead?

After thinking about it, Sun Hao shook his head again.

Nowitzki's personality is like the two of them chatting before, and he said that he would not take the initiative to ask Kuban for anything.

It's also like in history when he spent his entire career with the Mavericks.

How can such a player be ...... What about defection?

However, Nowitzki already has a title in his hands as in history, and it is not too regrettable.

Just want the rest of your career? Let's have a good time with the old driver!

……

The quarterfinals are played over two days.

Wait until the rest of the next day? The quarterfinals were also released.

Argentina, France and Serbia and Montenegro in Group A, China in Group B, Spain and Italy in Group C? Greece and the United States of America in Group D.

Can you also see it from this promotion? Group B is clearly the weakest of the four.

Or is it another way to go? Japan tried its best to make a come, but in the end it made a wedding dress for the Chinese team.

The quarter-finals were also confirmed.

Argentina vs Italy? Spain vs. France, China vs. the United States? Greece VS Serbia and Montenegro;

The seeds of the four major tournaments given by FIBA before the game, China and the United States officially met in advance!

When this result came out, some fans who realized it afterwards couldn't help but complain about the game system.

However, there are also a fair number of fans who feel excited and thrilled.

Step by step, the final final between China and the United States is really good, but there are fewer surprises.

And now this result, unexpected? But it is also inexplicably exciting.

Because two of the same teams, meeting at different stages? Psychological stress is different? The performance will also be completely different.

This kind of early encounter? Out of thin air, there are a lot of unknowns.

Including Sun Hao? There is no certainty of victory.

The reason for this feeling is not that they are not confident in the current strength of the Chinese team.

Rather, I can't get an idea of the current state of the American team.

The reason for the uncertainty is that the U.S. team lost to Greece in the group stage.

Does that sound like a big deal? But in fact, they are already interlinked.

In addition to certain flaws in their own lineup, there is another important reason: lack of preparation.

They didn't expect the Greeks to play so well before the game that they messed up after falling behind in the second quarter.

Waiting for the score to be pulled away and then trying to chase the score, the Greek team has already gained momentum and finally failed to pull the score back.

It's not right to say that the Dream Seven team is not strong, because in that game they trailed by 16 points at most, but in the end they lost by 6 points.

Now the Dream Seven team lost earlier, and it was in the group stage.

It's like a slap in the face to them in advance, and they will most likely be alerted.

Naturally, they will also be stronger in the knockout rounds.

"Our defensive strategy is to shrink up and focus on Cameron from the perimeter."

Fortunately, Harris strength is online.

When preparing for the game, he had already given the tactics of playing the American team.

The U.S. team's loss to Greece in the group stage was a wake-up call, but it also exposed some problems.

Among them, the most important is that shooters of the level of Battier and Hinrich are still not enough in the FIBA arena.

In key games, the only reliable pitcher for the U.S. team is Anthony.

"On the offensive end, we try to play as far inside as possible."

After all, Harris has coached in the NBA for many years and knows the Dream Team thoroughly.

A detail that is easy to be overlooked, American basketball has produced many talents, small forwards and guards.

But it was countered by the rapid withering of the center.

Pure black and coarse hard can no longer meet the requirements of the game, and there are more and more international insiders in the NBA.

Even the Dream Eight team, which is known as the strongest in history in the new century, had only one center in the team at that time, Howard, and the rest of the interior were Boozer and Bosh.

It's not that the U.S. team doesn't send it, it's that there really is no inside.

What Harris said, Sun Hao knows.

But knowing is not the same as listening to someone say it.

At least after listening, Sun Hao felt a lot more grasped.

The next day, the quarterfinals officially began.

The quarterfinals will be played over two days, with two matches per day, with Group A/B being played first.

The afternoon of the first day was Argentina vs. Italy, and the evening was the battle between China and the United States.

In the afternoon, Nagasaki's stadium was already full.

Many fans didn't come for the afternoon game, but took their seats for the evening game in advance.

The Chinese team came to the arena in the third quarter of the afternoon game.

They had already eaten something before they set off, and it was just this time to digest it.

This Italian team is not the strongest team, Sun Hao is familiar with the Italian Big Three: Bagnani did not come due to injury, Gallinari is still young, and the only selected Belinelli is only in his early 20s and is not the core.

However, they are still not to be underestimated, considering that they eliminated European giants Lithuania in the quarter-finals.

NBA players in international competitions are important, but not all.

When Sun Hao and the others came, the Italian team and the Argentine team were still playing back and forth.

Entering the quarterfinals, there will be no weak team in the real sense.

However, in the last quarter, Ginobili and Nocioni began to exert their strength one after another, and the Argentine team played a wave to close the game smoothly.

The first place in the semi-finals was also born.

According to the format, this will also be the winner-of-the-match semi-final between China and the United States.

Even if you win against the United States, you still have to play Argentina, and after Argentina, you will most likely have to play Spain.

Shhh

This grouping is toxic.

However, if this can still win the championship, the gold content is absolutely leveraged.

In the future, the fans also discussed it with more relish.

Thinking about it this way, it seems that there is still a little profit without losing.

After the game on the field, the Chinese team went down to the venue to warm up.

Ginobili saw Sun Hao come down and went up to say hello.

He also looked a little excited.

Sun Hao could feel that the excitement was not because of winning Italy, but because of ...... The next round may be against the Chinese team!

Once the Chinese team knocked him over, he was holding back his strength and thinking about coming back.

Ginobili and Sun Hao are like-minded people.

"I'll be watching you from the stands at night, don't lose to those guys."

Ginobili's words also verified what Sun Hao thought.

And the direct group of guys, sure enough, the one who won the American team was different.

"Look ahead, little Manu!"

Sun Hao is also heroic.

Ginobili said so, it's not appropriate for him not to win this game!

Warm up training, rest, warm up again, and in the blink of an eye it's evening.

Most of the fans also came over for dinner.

Before the game, the entire arena was already full.

As before, most of the scene was made up of Chinese fans.

There is no other reason, that is, enthusiasm, and there are many people.

In fact, not to mention the fans, the players of the Chinese team are also very excited.

One by one, they are eager to try.

It's not like they haven't won against the USA before!

One raw and two cooked, three and four times the meat sticks to the meat!

Again, the U.S. team was also very excited, and a little nervous.

When the camera came, Anthony was pushing his hands and taking a deep breath, James was rubbing his hands and blowing empty punches, and Wade was puffing up and showing off his cheeks.

This is their chance to get revenge on the Chinese team, and it is also the game they must win to win the championship.

But it is precisely because you have to win that the pressure can be imagined.

After the pre-game warm-up, a simple opening ceremony, the starting lists of the two teams were released one after another.

On the Chinese team's side, Sun Hao, Wang Shipeng, Zhu Fangyu, Yi Jianlian, Yao Ming.

On the U.S. side, Hinrich, Wade, Anthony, James, Howard.

Team USA has made lineup adjustments!

Brand, who had been the starting center before, was replaced by Howard!

This sends a signal that Coach K is well prepared for this game.

Harris didn't make a temporary adjustment, he was prepared to adapt to change.

In the cheers of the fans at the scene, the two starters appeared one after another.

Sun Hao glanced up at the other side.

James was rubbing his hands together and blowing empty punches again.

Not many people will notice this game, and this is also a chance for him to defeat Sun Hao.

He should be the one with the most pressure on the U.S. side.

"Toot!"

A whistle blew, and the game officially began.

Howard leaped high to flick the ball back into the U.S. half.

As Harris explained before the game, except for Yi Jianlian who is keeping an eye on Anthony, the rest of the people are obviously inward-looking.

Then, the U.S. team is rushing inside!

Wade and James blocked and dismantled, and went directly to Yao Ming after Zhu Fangyu.

Yao Ming made a basket and made a basket, Wade was not afraid of confrontation, and a strong layup went out of the basket.

Yao Ming held on to the defensive rebound, and the first wave of the U.S. team's offense was in vain.

However, they retreated quickly and did not give the Chinese team a chance to attack quickly.

Sun Hao advanced to the front court and hung the ball to Yao Ming.

Howard gave all kinds of physical confrontations, but Yao Ming took advantage of the small hook hand that turned around to shoot.

"Huh!"

Basketball hollow into the net.

2 to 0.

The Chinese team scored first!

When he turned around, James held the ball, blocked and dismantled with Anthony, and then crossed Yi Jianlian and went straight to the basket!

Another strong layup that challenged Yao Ming.

James's breakthrough confrontation is much stronger than Wade's, but Yao Ming still defends the ball with his physical advantage!

The U.S. team missed consecutive attacks in the opening game!

The Chinese team attacked the front court again, and Howard did not give Yao Ming an inside position this time, and it was a variety of physical confrontations.

But this is useless, Yao Ming turned to the basket at the free throw line, Sun Hao's high hanging ball was given in, Yao Ming worked at high altitude, and catching the ball was a violent dunk.

Really eat, sleep, and fight Warcraft!

4 to 0!

The scene was thunderous with cheers.

This momentum like a rainbow opening directly wets people!

Ginobili in the stands was also full of emotion.

On the one hand, it is because of the strength of the Chinese team, and on the other hand, it is because I don't understand the playing style of the American team.

Obviously, the Chinese team is shrinking their defense, and they are still rushing to the basket?

Was it because the old K didn't see Harris's tactical intentions, or was he not confident in his pitcher?

The game on the field continued, the beginning was like a microcosm, and the Chinese team has always firmly grasped the situation on the field.

On the side of the American team, Lao K has not made tactical adjustments, and he is quite confused.

The game played half a quarter, and the score on the field was already 16-6, and the Chinese team took a double-digit lead.

"This game, there is no suspense!"

Ginobili couldn't help but sigh.

The Dream Seven team pulled his hips more than the previous two Dream teams, and he pulled his hips more than he imagined.

It's no wonder they lost to Greece in the group stage before.

Just then, there was a substitution on the sidelines.

Battle came on and replaced Yao Ming.

This substitution came almost two minutes earlier than usual.

Ginobili didn't pay much attention to it at first.

But after the game was played again, the American team's playing style did not change, but they began to chase points!

Although Sun Hao stepped up in time to score continuously, the scoring momentum of the American team continued unabated.

After Sun Hao also got out of the break, the American team took the opportunity to tie the score in a wave!

Ginobili was stunned for a moment.

Ah this, his mouth......
