The Chinese players were going to stay and watch the final game of the day between the United States and Spain, but the coaching staff didn't have that much to spare, and they had to come up with a strategy to see if the final group game was desperate or strategically abandoned. After leaving a few staff members with the team, Younas returned to the hotel with the entire coaching staff for a meeting.

Now the Chinese team has qualified, the only difference is the final ranking, although it is not sure whether it can beat Greece, but the attitude still has to be taken out, and judging from the performance of the previous games, the Chinese team may not lose to this European powerhouse if it goes all out. So the team's strategy is very important, and it largely determines how far the team can go in the end.

Chang Wei believes that there are definitely not a few people who chose to give up strategically in their previous lives, because at that time, the Chinese men's basketball team only defeated Angola and Germany, and basically locked the fourth place in the group, and even if they went out to fight, they were not Greece's opponents. But this time, everyone's goal is obviously higher, since there is a chance to win the second place in the group, why do you want to get the third place in the group?

At the meeting, it took almost no time for the coaching staff to reach a consensus that they must try their best to win against Greece in the final group game and qualify as the second in the group. Of course, this is largely due to the current situation in Group A, with Lithuania and Argentina almost locking up the top two in the group, neither of them is easy to play against, while Croatia and Australia, who are fighting for three or four places, are relatively weak, and it is better to play against them than against Argentina, right?

The rules of the Olympic men's basketball event are as follows: 6 teams in each of the two groups A and B, and the top four teams in the two groups advance to the quarterfinals, and the top eight matches are the first in Group A against the fourth in Group B, the second in Group A against the third in Group B, the third in Group A against the second in Group B, and the fourth in Group A against the first in Group B. If China falls to third place, it will have to compete with Lithuania or Argentina. Although Chang Wei is very confident in the team, if he wants to challenge these two top teams, he is currently unable to do so, so it is better to pinch the soft persimmon.

In order to be able to beat Greece, Younas did not cancel the training the next morning, and the national players also knew what the coaching staff thought, and everyone had no objection to this, as players, of course, they must strive to win, and if they can win, they must not lose. This time, Younas focused on training outside defense under Chang Wei's suggestion, Greece's number one star Spanoulis is not a vegetarian, don't look at him in the NBA, but in Europe, he is definitely a man who blocks and kills Buddha, and it is not good not to look at him.

As for the Greek shark Skesenitis, Younas believes that Yao Ming can get him. Although Yao Ming may not be an opponent for physical strength, as a technical interior with height, it is no problem for him to hit the opponent with a mid-range shot.

This time, Yunast intends to let Sun Yue defend Spanoulis, Zhu Fangyu is responsible for assisting the defense, he is very confident in Sun Yue's physical fitness, this is a guy who can cap James, and he also has a certain advantage in the face of Spanoulis in terms of height.

But after the start of the game, Younas realized that he was thinking things too simply, Spanoulis is the king of Europe after all, and although Sun Yue can be compared to him in terms of physical hardware, he is still a little far behind in terms of technology. Spanoulis didn't even let his teammates go to the high post to cover for himself, and directly broke through Sun Yue's defense with a few consecutive feints.

This was an embarrassment for Younas, who had beaten Spain, Angola and Germany in quick succession to give confidence to the whole team, including him as a manager. Originally, Younas thought that his players could already wrestle with strong teams, but Spanollis was still more tough than he imagined, and a season in the NBA did not affect his strength at all.

The only thing that makes Younas feel relieved is that the Chinese team still has a certain advantage on the inside. Skesenitis was not the main scoring point for Greece in the first place, and there were occasional singles with the ball that did not escape Yao Ming's interference. Although not as heavy and powerful as his opponent, Yao Ming cleverly used his height advantage to make a huge impact on Skesenitis on the defensive end. In turn, the little shark himself couldn't stop Yao Ming's attack at all, the latter frequently pulled to the free throw line to shoot, and the shooting rate was frighteningly high, and he couldn't pull out the defense, he could only watch Yao Ming send the ball into the basket again and again.

Thanks to Yao Ming's outstanding performance, the Chinese men's basketball team was able to draw 23 with Greece at the end of the first quarter. But that's not what Younas wants to see, and he decided to give it a go in the second quarter, letting Sun Yue and Zhu Fangyu double the Spanoolis in a double bag, but if that doesn't work too well, then let's go with offense and see who can make it to the end.

If it had been a previous life, the Chinese double bag might have been a piece of cake for Spanoulris, but now he has to wait for it, and his shooting is not as easy as before. The Chinese team took the opportunity to pull the score away, but Greece is indeed a strong team, they gritted their teeth and persevered, and they didn't let the Chinese men's basketball team stretch the score difference to double digits, but this is already very good.

Greece was clearly not willing to accept the result of the loss, and Spanoulis seemed to wake up in the second half, and the Chinese team's double bag could not trap him. Younas simply sent players with strong scoring ability to play against Greece, the only good news is that Greece is responsible for scoring in addition to Spanoulis There is only one Brosis, the number of scoring points is not as good as the Chinese men's basketball team, and more importantly, they can't take advantage of the inside, so naturally they can't grab more rebounds.

Spanoolris' near-one-man style showed signs of decline in the fourth quarter, as his shooting percentage dropped rapidly, and his teammates couldn't grab offensive rebounds, so he could only watch as the Chinese players continued to run around the court. Although the other Greek players wanted to help, they were also powerless, and in the end they could only accept the fact that they lost 72-77 and were squeezed into third place in Group B by the Chinese team, which also means that they have to play against the second best team in Group A, which is not good news.

This match was the first match on the afternoon of August 18, which was also the first match of Group B on the day, after them, Spain and the United States defeated their respective opponents bloodlessly, and finally Group B ranked first in the United States, China second, Spain third, and Greece fourth; As for Group A, Lithuania is first, Argentina is second, Croatia is third, and Australia is fourth, that is, in the first game of the quarterfinals, China will meet Croatia, an Eastern European team.
