On August 25th, the first off-day after the start of the World Championships, the next finals, except for the quarter-finals, are selected according to the rankings, starting from the quarter-finals, after each game, each team has a break, the winner rests and waits for the opponent of the next game, and the loser can also rest and wait for the opponent of the ranking match.

The final will be held on September 3, and the closing ceremony of the World Championships will be held on September 4.

If you can still relax a little after winning two games in the group stage, when it comes to the finals, the players of the Chinese team dare not be careless at all, and they will be eliminated if they lose.

You have to give it your all in every game.

The Chinese team successfully refreshed the group stage ranking of the world's top men's basketball international competition, and after ranking second in the group stage of the Olympic Games two years ago, this time it won five consecutive victories to win the first place in the group stage.

Chinese fans feel that the Blue Association's announcement of the "four to fight for cards" this time is hopeful!

The players of the Chinese team are also very happy, and this feeling of winning glory for the country is very special.

However, when they pay attention to the opponent of the quarterfinals, Serbia and Montenegro, they feel that their heads are a bit big!

Judging from the situation in the group stage, the Chinese team, the Argentine team, and the Spanish team are the three best teams.

On the side of the American team, they lost to Greece by two points, and they didn't play their due strength to suppress Germany, and they were thrown by Nowitzki, but they won fortunately, and they stumbled to win the first place in the group stage, not like the last Olympics, they lost two games in the group stage, so they saved face.

Wade and Antoine Jamison and Sean Battier are the three players who take the credit because they can shoot ......

However, there are other teams that have caused headaches for the four group stage winners.

For example, Serbia and Montenegro.

This year's Serbian and Montenegro team is very different from the Serbian and Montenegro team two years ago, and their surnames are all C-ending, that is, all kinds of "strange" ......

With the Serbian and Montenegro team they played two years ago, apart from Milicic, everyone else looks completely different.

Including Milicic, compared to two years ago, there have been earth-shaking changes.

Milicic, averaging 19 points, 11.2 boards, 3 assists, 3.2 blocks and 1.6 steals per game, almost all of Milicic's statistics are the top two in the Serbian and Montenegro team!

Scoring Milicic is the first in the team, the first in rebounds, first in blocks, second in assists and steals, and the shooting percentage is the first in the Serbian and Montenegro team with a total of more than 5 shots, Milicic is also the first in the shooting rate of 52 percent, and the number of three-point shots is 9, which is also the first in the Serbian and Montenegro team.

The most important thing is that Milicic ranks first among all players in this World Championship in terms of blocks per game!

The name is still Serbia and Montenegro, but in 2005, Serbia and Montenegro have been dissolved, just because when they qualified for the competition, the country was still called Serbia and Montenegro, but in fact, this Serbian and Montenegro team, there are not many former members of the Serbian and Montenegro team, it is a team of young players from Serbia.

Previously, the players of the Chinese team focused on their own group stage and did not have much research on other teams, and this kind of schedule of five games in five consecutive days, no one could say who the opponent would be in the finals, and the last game was determined to be Serbia and Montenegro.

Another point is that the Serbian and Montenegro team is not an imaginary enemy of the Chinese team, nor is it a group, and will not deliberately study a declining basketball emperor.

The young team is characterized by sharpness, and the first game of the group stage was played against Argentina in the final moments, and Argentina relied on Scola to beat Serbia and Montenegro 79-77 thanks to a three-pointer from the bottom corner in the last minute.

Although the Serbian and Montenegro team has replaced mainly young players, most of the players are post-80s, and most of the post-70s players in the last Olympics have returned to their hometowns to farm or raise cattle, but they are Serbia, and most of the players are still fierce Eastern European play, with a strong defensive impact, as strong as Argentina, and only scored a dozen points on the head of the Serbian and Montenegro team in each of the first three quarters, and it took 24 points in the last quarter to turn the tables.

There are three big and tall players in the Serbian and Montenegro team, and the tallest 21-year-old player Kosta Perovic has been noticed by the NBA, reaching a height of two meters and one seven, which is the key to the interior defense of the Serbian and Montenegro team when Milicic is resting.

In the win over France, Serbia and Montenegro only allowed France to score 50 points in the whole game.

It was the black muscle monsters in Nigeria who won Serbia and Montenegro by more than 20 points.

However, there are so many muscle monsters in Nigeria, and the Chinese team can't do it!

However, Serbia and Montenegro are not without examples of being defeated by technical teams, Argentina stunner, and Venezuela also relied on excellent performances from beyond the three-point line to narrowly beat Serbia and Montenegro 89-85.

Therefore, although the Chinese team has a big head and a group of white men from Eastern Europe on the other side, they are still very confident.

……

……

In the past, except for the 2004 Athens Olympic Games, on the first rest day after each Olympic Games or the group stage of the World Championships, the Chinese team held a press conference to reflect on it, summarize and summarize, and say that it would work harder next time......

This time, the Blue Association was quite tone-bearing, and instead of holding a press conference at the venue to deal with reporters, a group of officials in the imperial capital held a press conference to publicize their great achievements, and the national team devoted themselves to preparation.

There is actually a lot of similarity with the preparation for the Italian team, which is a bunch of muscle monsters.

However, compared to Italy, where most of the players are black, Serbia and Montenegro are all white, so if the technical team plays well, the chances of winning are relatively good.

And...... The Chinese team definitely has a strength advantage, so they have a good mentality.

Concentrate on a day of preparation, in order to retain physical fitness, only a simple training, soon, on August 26, the day of the match between the Chinese team and the Serbian and Montenegro team arrived.

"Happy Birthday ......"

At noon, the national team held a simple birthday celebration for Liu Mang, and did not wait until the group stage to defeat the United States team like the last Olympics to surprise Liu Mang, and today the Chinese team has full confidence to beat Serbia and Montenegro.

Liu Mang blew out the candle in the shape of 24, this small birthday cake, which Director Zhang specially ran out to buy.

Since Liu Mang returned to the team on July 30, except for the holidays on August 12 and 13 to get together with his family, the rest of the time is a collective action, either staying in the hotel or staying at the training ground arranged by the Japanese side.

If they want to see their families, they come to see their husbands, their sons, and their boyfriends.

Seeing that little Lori pulled out the candle of 24 and put it on the table, and ran to the side to eat it with a small cake, Liu Mang sighed a little, he was already 24 years old before he knew it, and in his NBA career, he just changed into the No. 24 jersey at the age of 24, which is also a good implication.

On your birthday, you have to win the first knockout round!
