The so-called points scored and conceded ratio refers to the ratio of points scored/conceded between the three teams.

According to the rules, the team with the higher percentage of points scored and conceded is ranked highly.

In the three games, China 66-73 Australia, the United States 98-88 Australia, and China 87-80 the United States.

China: (66+87)/(73+80)=153/153=1;

Australia: (73+88)/(66+98)=161/164=0.982;

Team USA: (98+80)/(88+87)=178/175=1.017;

The percentage of points scored and conceded by the three teams, the United States team> the Chinese team> Australia.

The final ranking of Group A was also determined, and the United States, China, Australia, France, Serbia, and Brazil were also determined.

In the end, the Chinese team did not finish first in the group, which made fans a little regretful, because it meant that they lost the easiest way to win gold.

However, this is not necessarily a bad thing for the Chinese team.

The team that relies on luck to reach the final is likely to be just a foil in the end, but the team that has gone through hardships to fight through the encirclement is truly competitive.

And the second place will not allow them to meet the United States in the semi-finals, and their chances of reaching the final are not small.

The knockout round began two days later, and the Chinese team prepared during the day and rested at night, and began to adjust their state in advance.

The content of their training is also very targeted, and they are focused on three-point shooting as before.

The group stage is a training and a groping for the Chinese team.

Now they have a basic understanding that in order to win the game, in addition to Tang Tian's play, the shooting rate of outside pitchers must also be guaranteed.

Otherwise, the opponent would defend Tang Tian to the death, and it would still be very difficult for them to win.

The next night, after training, they also arrived to watch the final round of Group B.

After the final round, the rankings of Group B were released, followed by Spain, Croatia, Argentina, Lithuania, Nigeria, and Venezuela.

The opponent of the Chinese team in the quarterfinals was also determined, which was Argentina, the gold medalist of the 2004 Olympic Games.

Argentina reached the pinnacle of reaching the final at the 2004 Athens Olympics and beating the Dream Six to reach the top.

Players such as Ginobili, Scola, Nocioni, Delfino, Prigioni, Oberto rose to fame and were known as the Argentine Golden Generation.

But because of the lack of basketball talent like the United States, aging has become something they can't avoid.

For the average country, basketball talent is hard to come by.

Oberto and Prigioni have retired from the national team one after another, and the strength of the Argentine team has also dropped again and again.

To this day, the core of this team is still Ginobili, Scola and Nocioni, all of whom were from the golden generation of 12 years ago.

Before the start of the Rio Olympics, Ginobili bluntly said that this was his last Olympics for the national team.

After Duncan announced his retirement, it was another sad thing for Spurs fans.

However, the only consolation is that Argentina's opponent is China, and they can see an infighting between Spurs' players.

This is a very good thing not only for them, but also for Ginobili.

Even if it rises to the level of the game, when they meet the dark horse team of the Chinese team, they have no small hope of qualifying.

The game will not start until one day, and before the game starts, Tang Tian pulled Ginobili and Parker to get together outside.

They were so focused on preparing for the game before, and with the intensive schedule of the group stage, they didn't have this time.

Now it's finally that opportunity on offseason.

This is also the first time Tang Tian has been together like this three years after leaving the Spurs.

There are a lot of topics that can be talked about, Tang Tian's championship experience with the Pelicans, the next schedule of the Olympic Games, and of course, Duncan, who has not come.

"Tim owns a car tuning shop in San Antonio called 'Blackjack Speed Shop', and who knows what that name means!"

Parker laughs about Duncan's life after retiring.

"He's been to Argentina, but not me, he's been to Oberto, they've had dinner, they're fishing, oh, and ping-pong, Don, you're definitely good at that."

Ginobili was also talking, but when he said it, there was a look of envy in his eyes.

For athletes, especially players like him who have been playing for almost 20 years, life after retirement is always tempting.

Tang Tian smiled and nodded, he didn't expect Duncan's life to be so rich after retiring, he even played table tennis, it seemed that he had time to talk to him when he went back.

"Don't be envious, you're almost there."

After Parker finished speaking, Ginobili touched his already bare head and nodded with a smile.

Of the three GDP people, only Parker is young, and Ginobili is also old and has entered the countdown to retirement.

"By the way, Thiem's jersey retirement ceremony is in December, and we're all going to go there."

Parker continued.

Tang Tian nodded, on this occasion, as long as Duncan invited him, he would definitely go.

They also ended up talking about the knockout rounds of the Olympics.

The French team is fourth in the group and will play Spain in the first round.

In contrast, Tang Tian's Chinese team and Ginobili's Argentina team have a dozen.

"Don't think about showing mercy to the old man."

Ginobili looked at Tang Tian with a smile, he still spoke the same as before.

"You know, I've always been soft on older people."

Tang Tian replied with a smile.

Popovich said in front of the media that Tang Tian was very heavy on the elderly, and Tang Tian's words echoed it.

This meme, which only they knew, also made Parker and Ginobili laugh.

Those two years were unforgettable experiences for them.

On August 18, the Olympic Games are coming to an end, and the men's basketball game has entered the quarterfinals.

The four groups of the quarter-finals have been previously decided, and the match between China and Argentina will start as the opening match.

The match also attracted the attention of Chinese audiences.

In the previous competition, the Chinese team was hacked many gold medals because of the referee, which made them unhappy.

When you are unhappy, you naturally want to see a breakthrough in other projects.

This year's basketball momentum is very different from previous years, and it is naturally the most anticipated event.

Especially in the knockout stage, every game won is creating new history.

At 11 noon local time and 10 p.m. in China, the quarterfinals between the Chinese team and the Argentine team officially kicked off.

In Hall 1 of the Carioca Stadium, nearly half of the fans are Chinese.

The devil knows how they managed to get so many tickets, but it's like it's already half of the Chinese team's home stadium.

Argentina and Brazil are both part of the Americas, so it would theoretically be right for Argentina to have more fans in attendance.

But in front of this scene, I have to say that the fanaticism of Chinese fans nowadays is because Tang Tian has reached an unprecedented peak.
