Chapter 174: Promotion

Xu Yong withstood the pressure.

Hit both penalties!

84 to 82.

After the second quarter, the Chinese men's basketball team took the lead for the first time.

The young man who stepped to the free-throw line successfully attracted the attention of NBA scouts, and on this world-class stage, he wantonly showed his basketball qualities from the East.

The pressure is all on the Greek side.

The Greek team finally chose the offensive tactics of Papalukas attacking with the ball as the starting point, and Papalukas was still a mid-range pull-up jump shot, which was seriously interfered with under Sun Yue's desperate defense.

The shot brushes out of the frame.

Under the basket, everyone scrambles for rebounds.

Yao Ming, who is in the main position, protects this key backcourt rebound.

4.8 seconds later, the Greek team fouled tactically.

Yao Ming walked to the free throw line, and the audience was silent.

Yao Ming took a deep breath and hit both penalties.

Penalty kick....... Killed the game.

In the end, the Chinese men's basketball team narrowly defeated the Greek men's basketball team 86-82, ranking second in the group with a record of 4 wins and 1 loss.

In this case, the Greek men's basketball team will have a 2-3 record, and in the last game, regardless of whether the Spanish men's basketball team wins or not, according to the results of the Spanish men's basketball team and the Greek men's basketball team, the Spanish men's basketball team will be third in the group, and the Greek men's basketball team will be the fourth in the group.

As soon as the game ended, the fans sang the national anthem.

The players burst into tears with excitement and finished second in the group!

Zhang Weiping used "greatness" to form this year's Olympic men's basketball team, defeating Spain, Greece and other European powerhouses in a row, with a brilliant record, unprecedented.

This is destined to make everyone go down in history, and the name of every men's basketball player will be sung.

On the same day, all the matches in the group stage were over, and the final rankings were also released.

Spain could only finish third in the group, knowing the result before the start of the last game, they were extremely depressed and vented their emotions in the game, 98-50, with the largest score difference in this Olympic Games, and bloodied Angola.

Who is it that Angola recruits.......

In addition, with Argentina's victory over Russia, the final position of Group A has also been decided.

Lithuania, Argentina, Croatia and Australia, in that order.

The bracket was paired accordingly.

The United States is fourth in Group A, Australia, China is third, Croatia is third, Spain is second, and Greece is facing Lithuania, the first in Group A.

.......

On the field of the Olympic Games, this year's Chinese athletes completely broke out in front of their hometown fathers.

The most important thing is the gold medal, which is far ahead in the gold medal list, and even the United States, which has dominated the gold medal list in the Olympic Games all year round, is not as good as it.

Watching Chinese athletes win Olympic gold medals one after another, I was moved to tears.

Wang didn't have time to watch other events because he had to prepare for the game, but Gal Gadot watched some other events.

"Went to the Water Cube today."

In her room in the Olympic Village, Gal Gadot told Wang about some of the games she had seen.

"Chinese divers are so powerful, how to jump in other countries, there is no posture of Chinese divers, they are like the extreme, like machines, but they are full of spirituality, like elves on the pedal."

Wang Mingming remembered that Gail was of German descent, and he was interested in Wang Mingming at first, because he saw Wang Mingming's special rules, so he saw the Chinese team that played steadily, of course, he liked it very much.

"How many gold medals did our Chinese team win after diving?"

"I don't know, I watched the men's 3m springboard preliminaries today, and maybe tomorrow will be the real final." Gail turned on the TV, and CCTV5 inside was playing gymnastics competitions, men's rings.

"It's also a strong project for our country." Wang Ming pointed to the rings competition and said with a laugh.

Gail looked at Wang Mingming proudly, and couldn't help but glance at Wang Mingming.

The two watched the entire rings competition, and the Chinese team won the gold and silver medals strongly, with Chen Yibing in first place and Yang Wei in second place.

"China has won the gold medal again?"

At this time, the medal table of this Olympic Games was playing on the screen, and the Chinese team had won 38 gold medals, while the second-place United States only had 25 gold medals.

Then there are countries such as Russia, Great Britain, and Germany.

Countries with strong economic strength and developed sports, some small countries are widowed, and it is very difficult to win a bronze medal, such as Israel, which has won 1 bronze medal so far.

For these countries, the Olympic Games are all about running and participating.

August 20th.

In the quarterfinals of the men's basketball team, the Chinese men's basketball team played against Croatia.

Located in southeastern Europe, Croatia is a developed capitalist country with tourism as an important industry in the country.

Similar to the Greek team, the Croatian men's basketball team has grown rapidly over the past decade, producing a group of outstanding international players for the NBA.

The Chicago Bulls dynasty team in the Jordan era, the sixth man Kukoc, is from Croatia.

Today's Croatian men's basketball team, judging from the name, is all kinds of odd, starting five players, Roko Leni Ukic, Marin Rodzic, Marco Thomas, Marco Barnic, Stanko Balac.

Wang Mingming slightly adjusted the starter, with Liu Wei and Xu Yong partnering in the backcourt, Zhu Fangyu, Yi Jianlian as the forward, and Yao Ming as the center.

Xu Yong replaced Wang Shipeng as the starter, and with stronger impact and defensive ability, he contained Croatia's scorer group.

Yao Ming performed well and hit the mid-range shot as soon as he came up.

China launched a 12-1 shockwave, in which nine points came from Yao Ming, while Croatia was in poor form, failing to make a shot in the first 6 minutes and 33 seconds. With 3:27 left in the quarter, Barnich scored on a breakaway layup. The Chinese men's basketball team hit three three-pointers in the first quarter to take a 22-11 advantage.

After the start of the second quarter, the Croatian leader Zoran Pranić led the bench to break out, once narrowing the gap to 7 points, and with 6 minutes and 12 seconds left in the quarter, the Chinese men's basketball team launched a fast attack, Yi Jian United made a long pass to Xu Yong, Xu Yong flew into the free throw line in the front court and slammed the dunk, which once again shocked the NBA scouts who came to inspect him.

In the men's basketball arena of this Olympic Games, there have been several superstars, and now they will definitely be selected for the NBA draft, and among these superstars, Xu Yong is the most eye-catching one, even surpassing Spain's 18-year-old golden boy Rubio.

Croatia had a terrible shooting percentage and failed to capitalize on good opportunities under the basket, let alone shooting from the outside. With 8 minutes and 10 seconds left in the third quarter, the Chinese men's basketball team won 50-32 and scored 18 points. The Chinese team has since relaxed a little, and Croatia took the opportunity to play a wave of 6-0 to narrow the gap to 12 points. After three quarters, Croatia trailed 38-51.

At the start of the fourth quarter, Croatia closed the gap to 10 points, but it was the smallest gap between the two sides after that, and after a wave of 12-0, China took a 22-point advantage at 63-41 with 5:36 left in the game. Croatia couldn't even find a sense of taking penalties, they didn't pose a threat. Since then, the Chinese team has withdrawn their main forces one after another, quietly waiting for the arrival of victory.

After finishing second in a record group, the men's basketball team broke through the shackles of losing in the quarterfinals.

Beating Croatia means reaching the last four.

The top four in the world, what a long distance, is so close at this moment.

The old fans were in tears, waiting for this moment for too long......
