It's not just Sun Ce who wants to play Russia in the quarterfinals, the entire Chinese team wants to play Russia in the quarterfinals, and they all hope that Russia can upset Spain.

But they all feel that it is impossible, although Spain has less Gasol, but the Russian team is even worse, Kirilenko almost does not play for the national team due to consecutive years of injuries, and Spain still has Gasol Jr., Rubio and others.

Moreover, even if they want to fight Russia, no one will say it openly except Sun Ce.

Only Sun Ce said that he hoped to fight Russia and expect Spain to be upset.

And then...... This sentence has been fulfilled!

The next morning, as soon as Sun Ce and his teammates arrived outside the rented training hall, they were surrounded by reporters.

was teased by his teammates of the national team last night, and now he is being asked by reporters.

Sun Ce said helplessly: "I just accepted an ordinary post-game interview, and I accidentally practiced the Great Prophecy Technique, I'm really sorry, if Shaolin Temple or Wudang Mountain are ready to find me to endorse, I'm still very happy......"

However, although it was ridiculed, although it was very helpless, it was ...... That's a good thing!

Deliberately not competing with the Turkish team for the first place, although it is possible to meet the United States in the quarterfinals, but the probability of meeting the United States is only one-third, if you really get the first place in the group, there is a two-thirds chance of meeting Lithuania and Serbia, Slovenia is not easy to deal with, Dragic and Vujacic led Slovenia is very strong, don't look at Vujacic in the NBA, his shooting skills play a very big role in the international arena.

Anyway, there is a chance that you can't beat it, so it's better to gamble and prefer to play Spain and Argentina, two countries that lack the real core of the technical stream.

Drawn to Group D, the Chinese team is ready to play Spain.

But...... It's certainly best not to play against Spain! Fight Russia, it's much better to fight than Spain! At least just a few days ago, they just killed Russia, and they have a mental advantage!

Sun Ce felt that the ups and downs of life were really exciting, and when the fourth game of the group stage was played to discuss whether to fight for the first place in the group, everyone in the national team was hesitant, because the top two in the other three groups were ...... None of them seem to have much hope of winning.

In fact, the rotation rest was not so decisive at that time, but I felt that it was better to play Serbia and Lithuania, which were extremely fierce opponents, than to play Spain and Argentina, the defense of these two teams was weaker, so I could try to play fast attack with Sun Ce + Yi Jianlian.

Who knew that the quarterfinals actually met Russia!

The coaching staff worked overtime last night to overturn all previous tactical set-ups and start all over again.

Now everyone in the Chinese team is very melancholy...... It would be good if the big devil participated in this World Championships at this time, and he could directly say to the media: We are not ready to play the semifinals......

Yao Ming now feels that not only Sun Ce is not flat, but he also feels that his mentality is also weak......

The most frustrating of the moments is Turkey, who have little problem beating France, but they have to play Lithuania in the quarter-finals...... This is the top basketball powerhouse who has won three Olympic bronze medals in the past 20 years, has been in the top eight at almost every World Championships and Olympic Games, won three European Championships, and won the top three at five European Championships.

I still have to watch the Chinese team that deliberately lost to them on a rotational break to fight Russia!

Turkey also wants to fight Russia!

……

The opponent is Russia, which does not mean that Sun Ce and others can relax, but they have to be more focused!

This is an opponent with a high probability of victory, but you have to prepare better, and you will worry that you can't beat Spain, and if you lose, there will be no negative Sean at home.

But against Russia, since the new century, the world championship has become a soft-footed shrimp can only be a powerful opponent in the European arena, and if it loses to Russia, it will be scolded to death if it loses to Russia.

As long as you win the game, you can advance to the semi-finals to create a record in the history of the national team, a once-in-a-decade opportunity, if you miss it, not to mention the scolding of the media and fans, even the players themselves will regret it for a lifetime, God knows when there will be such good luck.

The Chinese team is fully united and actively preparing for the game, and we must ensure that we win this game, not like Spain!

……

……

The two-day preparation time passed quickly, and by September 8, all the eight countries that had qualified were released.

The difference in strength between the upper and lower halves is still obvious, except for the Spanish team's inexplicable half-time collapse as in the original time and space, the top two in the other groups have all qualified.

The eight countries that qualified are Argentina, Serbia, the United States, Slovenia, Turkey, China, Russia, and Lithuania.

On the 9th and 10th, there will be four matches in the quarterfinals.

Not surprisingly, the match between the Chinese team and the Russian team will start at 5 pm on the 9th.

The match between the United States and Serbia will start at 8 p.m.

At five o'clock in the afternoon of the 10th, the match between Argentina and Slovenia will be played first.

Turkey is still postponed, and the final match of the quarterfinals against Lithuania will be played at 8 pm on the 10th.

After that, it was the semi-finals on the 11th.

Finally, on the 12th, the advanced three or four won the medal battle, and the finale was the World Championships final!

……

At half past four in the afternoon of the 9th, Sun Ce and his teammates entered the court, and this time the feeling was completely different from the first round of the knockout round.

This time, there were more players from other countries on the sidelines, and the other six national core players in the quarterfinals basically came, and even the coach of the American team, Coach Lao K, came to watch the game.

The U.S. team will definitely enter the semi-finals, and no matter who the opponent is, Coach K is confident.

In the other three groups, in the opinion of Coach Lao K, the Chinese team is the most unsuspenseful to advance.

There is not much difference in the strength of the other two groups, and the Chinese team has Sun Ce on the outside, Yi Jianlian, an unexpected insider who can get an average of 22 points and 8 boards per game, and Yao Ming, a big killer, who almost didn't make any effort to the quarterfinals before.

In the end, there were only four teams that advanced to the semi-finals, and Coach K had to study every opponent carefully, especially the Chinese team with almost no experience against him.

At five o'clock, the second quarterfinals in the history of the Chinese team began.

The whole team is fighting!

From the very beginning of the game, the Chinese team focused on the game and gave their best in every round.

On the contrary, on the Russian team's side, after the last game of hard steel against the Spanish team, today seems to have returned to the level of the group stage, Mozgov did not have the magic of the previous game, and was beaten by Yao Ming at the beginning of the game, and Yi Jianlian, who was anti-cut, failed to make up for the defense in place.

Yao Ming also started to exert his strength tonight, and tried his best to fight!

Sun Ce constantly feeds cannonballs to the two major interior lines, Yao Ming can sit and play alone, can pull away and shoot, the perfect traditional center play; When he arrived at Yi Jianlian, he changed suddenly, cutting in, defending and counterattacking, and constantly impacting the basket......

The Chinese team did not miss such a good opportunity, and when the opponent's strength was far inferior to theirs, they were not careless and did not give the opponent a chance to continue to upset.

In the end, relying on Sun Ce's 11 points, 6 boards and 10 assists for the first double-double performance of his national team career, relying on Yi Jianlian's 18 points and 14 boards, Yao Ming's 25 points and 8 boards, as well as Wang Zhizhi, Wang Shipeng, Sun Yue, Liu Wei and others' catch-and-shoot shots, the Chinese team defeated the Russian team with a 14-point difference of 89-75 and advanced to the semifinals of the World Championships for the first time in team history!

This time is different from when they advanced to the quarterfinals, when they advanced to the quarterfinals, many old players had red eyes, and the ghost knows if they ran to the toilet to cry.

Before this match against Russia, everyone was very confident, and after really defeating Russia, it was no longer the useless self-touch, but the confidence of the whole team skyrocketed!

It seems that they have had the opportunity to touch a World Series medal that they have not even dreamed of in the past half of their lives!

……

In the news interview after the game, there were more reporters around Sun Ce this time.

Even if Sun Ce may end the interview with one sentence, they are willing to surround Sun Ce with three layers inside, three layers outside, and three layers of elevated shooting.

This time, Sun Ce was frightened by the enthusiasm of the reporters.

And the first question made Sun Ce full of black lines.

"Little Overlord, do you think Serbia has a chance to beat the American team? Is it possible for Slovenia to upset Argentina? Can the Turkish team take out Lithuania? Will you pray for them? ”

This question......

Sun Ce wants to turn around and leave!

But behind the ass is also a journalist!

The Spanish team was upset, because they had never played in the World Series in the absence of Pau Gasol in the past ten years, and in the previous ten years, whether it was the World Championships, the Olympics or the European Championships, Pau Gasol participated, and this time Pau Gasol was not there, and it was normal for the performance to be inconsistent.

To pray that Turkey defeats Lithuania, it is possible to expect that the Turkish team is not afraid of confrontation and is not as restrained as the Chinese team against Lithuania.

Expect Slovenia to beat Argentina...... It's not impossible, it depends on whether Dragic and Vujacic, the best backcourt duo in this World Championships, can break out and beat the scoring champion Scola in this World Championships, such as the time when Slovenia defeated Croatia, Vujasic performed 6 three-pointers in a single game.

But to Serbia defeated the American team...... That's too much!

This group of reporters who killed a thousand knives really opened his mouth, right?

……

……

In the end, neither of the two upsets expected by these domestic reporters appeared, but Turkey defeated Lithuania 79-75 with Turkoglu's winning three-pointer.

The United States and Argentina advanced with little suspense, with the former beating Serbia by 17 points and Slovenia by 15 points.

On the evening of the 10th, when all the semi-finals were released, the results of the semi-final draw also came out.

The good fortune of the Chinese team seems to have come to an end.

Semi-final opponent - Team USA!
