After the end of the "focus matchup" between the Chinese men's basketball team and the United States men's basketball team, the men's basketball group stage of this Olympic Games is all over, first of all, Group B, as the No. 2 seed team in the group, the Chinese men's basketball team, ranked first in the group with a record of 5 wins, after the Chinese men's basketball team, the second place in the group is the host Greece, because of the loss to the Chinese men's basketball team and missed the first place in the group, Lithuania, and lost to the host Greece in the final round for some "special" reasons, so in the case of the same record, Lithuania is third in the group behind Greece, and in fourth place in the group after Lithuania is Puerto Rico, which defeated the U.S. men's basketball team in the first game.

In Group A, Spain also topped the group with a record of 5 wins, followed by Spain, Italy and Argentina, both 3-2, and Greece and Lithuania are ranked the same, Italy defeated Argentina in the group stage, ranked ahead of Argentina, and the last place in Group A fell on the head of African champion Angola, as one of the weakest teams in the group, Angola won and New Zealand's rookie peck, and then upset the Serbian and Montenegro men's basketball team, Thus qualifying from the group with a record of 2 wins and 3 losses.

Since the beginning of the 92 Olympic Games, the United States men's basketball team, which has monopolized the Olympic champions, lost to Puerto Rico and Lithuania in the group stage, and in the last game that decided to qualify, it was a pity to lose to the Chinese men's basketball team, thus ending their Olympic journey with a record of 2 wins and 3 losses. But for other teams that have been bullied by the U.S. men's basketball team for more than ten years, the U.S. team's group exit is definitely a happy thing. After the group stage, some American media suggested that the American Basketball Association appeal to the International Basketball Association to investigate the phenomenon of Lithuania, Greece, Puerto Rico and Australia playing tacit ball in the final round of the game and maliciously releasing water.

In addition to the U.S. men's basketball team, there is also a team out of the group, which is also deplorable, as a team that has won the World Championships and the Olympic Games 6 times, the men's basketball team of Serbia and Montenegro is a well-deserved strong in the world basketball world, but because of some international and Zhengzhi reasons, Yugoslavia has disintegrated again and again, and with the disappearance of a unified country, the men's basketball team of Serbia and Montenegro has begun to enter the trough, as the champion of the 02 World Championships, the No. 2 seed team in Group A of the Olympic Games, The Serbian and Montenegro men's basketball team was supposed to shine at the Athens Olympics, but the final result was only one win in five group games, and with the scandal of infighting, the Serbian and Montenegro men's basketball team, known as the European Dream Team, was eliminated from the group together with the Dream Team.

After a day of rest, the knockout round of the Olympic men's basketball team officially began, as the first team in Group B, the Chinese men's basketball team will face the fourth place in Group A, the Greek men's basketball team in Group B will face Argentina, the third team in Group B will face Italy, the second place in Group A will face Italy, and the last game is Spain, the first team in Group A, against Puerto Rico, the fourth place in Group B.

Although the U.S. men's basketball team, composed of a group of NBA stars, has returned home early, the influence of the NBA is still shrouded in the Olympic men's basketball game, Meng Xu and Yao Ming of the Chinese men's basketball team, Pau Gasol of Spain, and Manu Ginobili of Argentina.

After a day of fierce battles, the four teams in Group B, in addition to the Huaguo men's basketball team 81-65, successfully eliminated Angola to advance to the semifinals, the remaining three teams in Group B were all wiped out, and Angola In the game, the two major inside lines of the Huaguo men's basketball team, Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi scored 42 points, 23 rebounds, and the number of points and rebounds exceeded half of the team, sat on the sidelines and rested.

Puerto Rico, which had defeated the U.S. men's basketball team in the group stage, only lasted half a game in the game with Spain, and was defeated, Spain's number one star Pau Gasol scored 28 points, 15 rebounds, and 3 blocks in the game, and single-handedly broke up a group of Puerto Rico insiders, under Pau Gasol's strong performance, the Spanish men's basketball team defeated Puerto Rico by 16 points 90-74, although Puerto Rico lost to Spain, but Arroyo, as the core of the team, He still scored 18 points and had 8 assists.

In the game between the host Greece and Argentina, Vasriis Spanolis, who was selected by the Mavericks in the second round, but did not want to enter the NBA immediately, and Manu Ginobili, who also entered the NBA as a second round, staged a very exciting matchup, the two teams took the lead alternately throughout the game, and the difference remained within 5 points, until the end of the game, Argentina was still behind by 4 points, but in the following dozens of seconds, Manu Ginobili made a sudden throw, and scored 6 points in a row, helped Argentina successfully overtake the score, and Vasriis Spanoulis's last-minute miss also made the Greek men's basketball team regretfully out. Although he missed the final moment, Vasrith Spanolis's 22 points, 7 assists, 5 rebounds, and 4 steals were enough highlights today, while Argentina, as the core of the team, Manu Ginobili contributed a game-high 25 points today, while also delivering 6 assists, 4 rebounds, and 3 steals.

The result of the game between Lithuania and Italy, is still a little unexpected, as the champion of the European Championship, Lithuania in the game with his defeat to Italy, obviously some dysfunctional, Lithuania shot 21 three-pointers, but only hit 5 shots, the low shooting rate is outrageous, in such an abnormal performance, Lithuania lost to Italy is not a surprise.

After all four quarter-finals matches, the top four teams of men's basketball at the Olympic Games will be released, the four teams are Spain, Italy, Argentina and China men's basketball team, according to the pre-determined schedule, all two semi-finals will be played on August 26, 2004 Greek time.
