Chapter 128: A Historic Breakthrough

The Chinese men's basketball team really created a miracle on the second day, they upset the Spanish national team, which is known as the "golden generation" and the favorite to win the championship this year.

75 to 68, it was a tough win.

Originally, the Chinese men's basketball team was 61-47 leading by 14 points at the end of the third quarter (this is true), but halfway through the fourth quarter, the Chinese men's basketball team CBA players all had physical problems (this is also true), fortunately, Yi Jianlian withstood the pressure at the most critical moment, with two free throws and a breakthrough, scored 4 points in a row at the critical moment, helped the team get through the danger, did not let the regret of the previous life reappear, and truly completed the counterattack on the 06 World Championship champion.

After the results of this game came out, the entire foreign media was shocked!

Originally, in their opinion, the Spanish national team was expected to challenge the hegemony of the United States this time, but they didn't expect that this group stage had not yet started! I was killed once, this ...... Could it be that it is the Chinese men's basketball team that is really expected to challenge the United States this year?

Isn't that incredible?

"We just underestimated the enemy, we really didn't expect the Chinese men's basketball team to become so strong, I am sorry for our underestimating opponents, and I also respect every team that can beat us!" As the absolute core of the Spanish men's basketball team, Pau Gasol gave a positive answer to today's game loss, "Yi is always so incredible, not to mention the existence of Yao, the cooperation of these two has the strength to challenge the United States, they are opponents of the same level as us!" ”

Yi Jianlian was praised by Pau Gasol, and the reason is very simple, he scored 23 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists tonight, plus Yao Ming's 21 plus 12, the two of them once again scored more than half of the team, and it is also the main reason why the Chinese men's basketball team can complete this upset.

As Pau Gasol said, the combination of Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian is enough for the Chinese men's basketball team to squeeze into the world's top teams.

It's just that compared to Pau Gasol's willingness to admit defeat neatly, the attitude of many Spanish media is a bit twisted:

"The Spanish men's basketball team has always had a habit of slow heating in the World Championships, this is the group stage, wait and see! The show has just begun! ”

"In any case, it must be noted that only the Spanish men's basketball team is eligible to challenge the American Dream Team, and no other team has this possibility!"

"This is the home of China! Our team is very uncomfortable, and that's normal! ”

Sour!

All kinds of tirades, after reading it, there is one word: sour!

"Did you write with lemons?" Ke Fan has always spoken without his brain, but this time he also sprayed directly.

It's still pretty cool!

The house leak happened to rain overnight, and the ship was late and encountered a head wind.

The Spanish men's basketball team has just been blinded by the Chinese men's basketball team, and the next game is against the United States, where its own media threatened to shake the status of the American dream team, but the result was 89-70, losing by nearly 20 points.

Now the Spanish media have all shut up, obviously no matter how conceited they are, if they are still blowing nonsense at this juncture, it will be really shameless and skinless, they are like a person, and they can't be so shameless anymore.

Completely stopped, to blow other projects in Spain, long live Spanish football!

Cnmgb…… Olympics blow your horse to football.

***

The Chinese men's basketball team has no time to pay attention to these things, and continues to compete in the next games of the group stage, because it has already defeated Spain, as long as it can win two games to qualify, the Chinese men's basketball team is not so anxious.

In particular, the Angolan brothers brought warmth to the Chinese men's basketball team, 80-65, a 15-point victory, and the Chinese men's basketball team has locked the qualification for the group stage with two games still to play.

However, in the next games, they did not take the opponent lightly, and still treated it as cautiously as always, probably because there was no pressure to qualify, but they played better and better, beating Germany while losing to European Championship champions Greece by only three points.

Of course, it doesn't matter if you win or lose these two games.

Compared with the previous Chinese men's basketball team, which played thrilling in the life-and-death battle with the German team and struggled to advance, the Chinese men's basketball team in this life has three wins and two losses, not only does not have the pressure of promotion, but also has a good ranking, ranking second in the group!

Well, Spain won all three games after losing to the United States and the Chinese men's basketball team in succession, and the record of the Chinese men's basketball team is the same, but because of the win-loss relationship between the two sides, the Chinese men's basketball team is in front of them.

As a result, the Chinese men's basketball team's opponent in the quarterfinals and the semifinals changed from Lithuania in the previous game to Croatia, which was the second-to-last in Group A.

The difficulty is much less all of a sudden.

Croatia are third in Group A and don't have any active NBA players on their squad, which is a horrible situation, with the exception of Greece, who are the only team to reach the top eight without the need for NBA-caliber players.

And the ranking is not low, third in Group A.

Keeping Australia behind.

Luckily, they're in third place!

For the Chinese men's basketball team, only Croatia can win with absolute certainty in Group A.

This Croatia is a projection-based team, of course, this is also the general impression left by Croatian players to the majority of fans, like Kukoc of the Bulls back then, and Gordon Girisek of the current Suns, all have a good projection ability, but the former retired, the latter withdrew from the national team, and they are not in the current Croatian national team.

And for such a team to win, it is very simple, rely on the sky to eat, as long as the hand feels good, there is no opponent who can't shoot.

Such a team is also what the Chinese team is not afraid of.

Throughout the game, the Chinese men's basketball team started with Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian, and they were all entangled with close defense, and it was difficult for Croatian players to even find shooting space.

In the end, the Chinese men's basketball team won the final victory 66-49, and the victory in this game also made the Chinese men's basketball team achieve a historic breakthrough - reaching the final four in the Olympic Games for the first time in history!

Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian contributed greatly, the former contributed 18 points and 13 rebounds, while the latter contributed 20 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists.

Don't look at the high score, the two of them don't even have forty points combined.

This is the first time that the combined scores of these two cores have been so low since the Olympics.

But there is one statistic, two people have hit a new high, the former has a total of 3 blocks in this game, and the latter has also won 3 blocks, which shows where they put most of their minds in this game!

It's a pity that the Chinese men's basketball team met Lithuania in the semifinals and was sent home directly.

However, the journey of the Chinese men's basketball team is not over, there is still hope to go further, they still need to play a game for the third place, if they win, they will definitely get a bronze medal!

How could the men's basketball team ever think of winning a bronze medal?

A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, you must seize it!
