Under normal circumstances, the semi-finals would be Argentina meeting the United States, but the United States team lost, and finally only won the bronze medal and finished third.

Of course, this is only an ideal grouping, if the Chinese team reaches the semifinals and finally matches the American team, it will be no problem, and you can only take one step at a time.

……

The grouping of the Olympic men's basketball team has long ended, and the Chinese team has been divided into Group A.

A total of twelve teams participated, divided into two groups of AB, and the Chinese men's basketball team was assigned to Group A, which was actually quite lucky.

The group faces New Zealand, Spain, Argentina, Serbia and Montenegro and Italy.

The reason why I say that I am lucky is because Group B can be said to be the group of death.

Group B features four continental champions, Oceania champions Australia, African champions Angola, European champions Lithuania and American champions America.

The rest were Puerto Rico and the host country, Greece.

……

A total of 12 teams participated, and the Chinese team entered the quarterfinals, which is actually not a particularly outstanding historical achievement.

However, considering that there are so many countries around the world, and only 12 teams in total, it is already an honor to qualify......

At least they are better than South Korea, and they can't qualify for the Olympics without seeing it.

……

Each group consists of six teams playing a single round-robin, with the best four teams advancing to the quarterfinals.

Under normal circumstances, the Chinese men's basketball team has a difficult opportunity to appear, winning two out of five games, and all of them are narrowly won......

They won against New Zealand 69-62 and Serbia and Montenegro 67-66, and the other three games were all defeated.

Basically, the two teams of New Zealand and Serbia and Montenegro belong to the food delivery, and basically whoever turns them can easily get a win.

……

On August 15, Richard's honeymoon ended, but Tiana did not leave Athens and was ready to stay and cheer for Richard.

Tonight is the first game of the Chinese men's basketball team, and countless Chinese fans are lying in front of the TV, waiting for the game to start.

The opponent is the European powerhouse Spain, and the lineup has the Grizzlies big man Pau Gasol.

Under normal circumstances, Spain would have topped Group A and advanced to the quarter-finals, but they were unlucky in the rest of the tournament and finished seventh at the Olympics.

It is worth mentioning that their battle for seventh place was played against the Chinese men's basketball team.

Seeing that the players on both sides began to appear, Richard also breathed a sigh of relief.

Although I am very confident in the Chinese men's basketball team, the current Olympics is not the Asian Cup!

The opponents are all strong teams, especially these European strong teams, which are quite difficult to deal with, and there may be few players in the team who play in the NBA, but they still often make the American team deflated.

The game on the field started, and Richard watched the game calmly.

At the beginning, Yao Ming taught Gasol a hard lesson, and after receiving a pass from Liu Wei on the outside, he directly made a violent dunk on the head of Da Gasol.

This slam dunk gave Richard a lot of confidence.

The strength of the Chinese men's basketball team is not what it used to be, at least Yao Ming's point is much stronger than under normal circumstances.

The ball was converted, and the Spanish team's outside player Duenas immediately returned the color and hit a three-point shot.

The Chinese men's basketball team's outside defense is still a little too weak, which gives Richard a bit of a headache.

Because of Yao Ming and Battle, Richard doesn't worry much about the team's interior defense, but this outside defense directly lowers the level of the Chinese men's basketball team.

I can't stop it......

It's hard to ......

The game passed minute by minute, relying on the strong inside advantage of Yao Ming's side and Dazhi's fierce outside fire, the Chinese men's basketball team finally won.

However, the margin of winning was not large, and in the end it was only an 82-79 point difference, narrowly beating by three points.

With just a three-point difference, it could be that an opponent can make a difference with one more three-pointer.

"It would be nice if Sun Yue's kid was here......" Richard sighed, a little confused about what the Aoshen team had taken the wrong medicine.

To kill is not to let Sun Yue come to participate in the men's basketball team......

This matter is actually good for the Aoshen team, in case Sun Yue performs strongly, they can also have more fans in the Aoshen team.

……

Don't look at Sun Yue's development in the NBA, it is quite bad, but in Richard's opinion, his outside defense is quite precious to the Chinese men's basketball team.

It can even be said that in terms of the efficiency of the outside defense, Sun Yue can be called the first in the men's basketball lineup.

If Richard uses Sun Yue with an Artest All-Star Light, the outside defense will definitely be effective.

In this game against Spain, the opponent's Duenas will not be able to score a high score of 22 points.

If you're lucky, the effect of Artest's All-Star Light can last for three years, and it could even improve Sun Yue's entry into the NBA.

At that time, Sun Yue, who has high hopes, may not be as miserable as under normal circumstances if he cultivates it well.

The biggest problem now is that there is no Sun Yue, and Richard is a little reluctant to use the All-Star light for other men's basketball players.

After all, these players also have no prospect of entering the NBA, and it is a bit wasteful to use them.

……

The Olympic Games schedule was victorious, and the country was jubilant.

Although Richard has already made a military order, fans are still not very optimistic that the men's basketball team can go too far.

However, the current defeat of the European powerhouse Spain in the first game has boosted the confidence of the fans.

Next, on August 17, the men's basketball team will play against New Zealand.

The players of the New Zealand men's basketball team danced a Maori war dance before the game, which was quite exciting, but the performance after the game started.

was comprehensively suppressed by the Chinese men's basketball team, especially on the inside, Yao Ming exploded 32 points and 17 rebounds tonight, almost single-handedly beating New Zealand.

In the next game against Serbia and Montenegro, the situation was roughly the same as that of New Zealand, and the men's basketball team relied on the inside advantage to win the game steadily.

Three consecutive wins in the opening game, firmly sitting on the first place in Group A.

Domestic fans are boiling, this is the rhythm of winning medals......

There are two opponents left in the group stage, one is Italy and the other is Argentina, both of which are not to be underestimated.

But even so, at present, the Chinese team has steadily qualified for the quarterfinals, tying the best result in the history of the Olympic Games of the Chinese men's basketball team.

In the next game against Italy, the men's basketball team played quite well, not only Yao Ming showed a strong dominance on the inside, but Dazhi on the outside was also like no one.

In the last game of the group stage, against Spain, just when everyone thought that the men's basketball team would advance to the quarterfinals with a record of winning all five games, the men's basketball team lost, and the loss margin was quite a lot.

At 96:85, the margin broke and lost by 11 points.

Richard sighed, although losing does not mean that the overall strength of the Spanish team is really stronger than the men's basketball team, but at least it can also show that the men's basketball team is not sure to win Argentina.

Richard's goal is to win the gold medal, and if he can't pass Argentina, everything is empty talk.

At the end of the group stage, both Argentina and the Chinese men's basketball team had a record of 4 wins and 1 loss, of which Argentina lost to Spain.

However, because of the relationship between victory and defeat, Argentina ranked first in Group A, and the Chinese team could only settle for second.

However, this ranking is actually a gift from God for China, if he really kills Spain in the group stage and wins the group, then Richard will really be very difficult at the moment.

The reason is simple, the U.S. team only played an embarrassing fourth place finish in the group stage, and almost didn't even qualify.

The opening game was directly lost to Puerto Rico, and then Australia and Greece, and then to Lithuania, that is, they finally won the match against Angola, otherwise the Dream Six team may really miss out on the quarterfinals.

The record of the Dream Six team is exactly the same as the Dream Six team in Richard's memory, and there are no variables.

If there are no variables, that is good for Richard.

With the Dream Six only finishing fourth in their group, even if they reach the semi-finals, they will only face Argentina, who have a better record in Group A......

If the Dream Six team wins Group B, then they will face China in the semi-finals.

At present, the Chinese men's basketball team led by Richard has perfectly avoided Argentina and the Dream Six team, which has to be said to be a happy event.

American fans are crazy, they can't imagine that their dream team can play such a bad record......

However, they still have a fluke mentality in their hearts, thinking that the Dream Team did not move seriously, and when it comes to the next knockout round, it is the moment when the Dream Six Team will be powerful.

It's not just American fans who think so, but also Chinese fans.

The previous dream team really left a big shadow on fans from all over the world, and Chinese fans were still quite excited to see that the Chinese team did not have to play against the United States team at least before the finals.

In the quarterfinals, the Chinese men's basketball team's opponent was Australia.

Now that it is the knockout round, Richard didn't dare to hold it up, and finally gritted his teeth and made a bloody investment.

Artest's All-Star light was used by the team's small forward Zhu Fangyu......

Because there are a lot of all-star lights on hand, Richard used a Ginobili all-star light for Liu Wei.

Even the lingering mad dog, this prop is bound to Liu Wei......

The backcourt of the Dream Six team is their main point of attack, and Iverson must have Liu Wei to defend this point, if he can't prevent it, the situation will definitely be quite bad.

Clark's hot pot, Richard took it out for Battle to use, and now he doesn't care about the cost, and basically uses it for the men's basketball players.

The knockout round was quite cruel, and Richard didn't want to stop in the quarterfinals.

Under Richard's improvement, the men's basketball team won the game against Australia relatively easily, and finally beat Australia by 17 points.

This has aroused the carnival of domestic fans and reached the semifinals!

It has created the best result in the history of the Chinese men's basketball Olympic Games......

You just need to go one step further and you may get a medal!

Argentina and Dream Six also won in the quarter-finals and will meet in the semi-finals.

As for the opponent of the Chinese men's basketball semifinals, it is the European champion team Lithuania, as long as it passes the Lithuanian level, the guarantee is a silver medal!

Even if you can't get past Lithuania, you still have a chance to win the bronze medal.

The domestic basketball association is already so excited that it can't do it, the historical record has been created, and then it depends on whether Richard can lead the team to create a greater miracle.
