The five-match rematch has been completed, and the sixteen semi-finalists have been confirmed. Jamaica and the United States occupy six of the spots, while the small Central American nation of Trinidad and Tobago also has two players in the semi-finals.

Japan's Naoki Tsukahara had a pained expression on his face, he did his best in this game, and even touched the threshold of advancing to the semifinals for a long time, and in the first 30 meters, he was at the top of the group; In the first 50 meters, he was second in the group; In the first 60 meters, he was still third in the group; It was only at the end of 70 meters that he was overtaken by Zhang Guan.

In the end, Naoki Tsukahara finished fourth in the group, but his time was not the best of the fourth, and Qatari naturalized athlete Francis advanced to the semi-finals with a time of 10.11 seconds, the best time outside the top three in the group. The Japanese team also lost in the men's 100m event.

For Asian athletes, reaching the semi-finals of the Olympic Games is already a breakthrough achievement, and under normal circumstances, the semi-finals of the Olympic Games are the ones who have the strength to run under 10 seconds, even if the personal best is 9.99 seconds, and in the semi-finals of the Olympic Games, they are still at the bottom of the group.

As for Zhang Guan, he returned to his residence after the race, and he will compete in four events tomorrow: basketball against Germany, the semifinals and finals of the men's 100m, and the qualifying round for the long jump.

……

Zhang Guan woke up and when he opened his eyes, he saw Sharapova wearing suspender pajamas sitting in front of the computer.

"Martha, what are you looking at?" Zhang Guan walked behind Sharapova.

"The odds given by Europe to win the Olympics are the men's 100m sprint." Sharapova continued: "You played well yesterday and now the odds have risen to second place. ”

"Just the second place? Or rose to second place? So I wasn't even second before? I always thought I was the favourite! So how many times did I use to be? Maybe Powell will be ahead of me, am I third? Zhang Guan asked.

Sharapova shook her head a little embarrassedly: "No, your odds to win the championship are fourth." Usain Bolt is number one, Powell is number two, and U.S. Guy is number three. ”

"Guy ran in front of me, I didn't expect it." Zhang Guan sighed.

"Guy did very well under last year's bid. However, after yesterday's game, the company adjusted the odds. Now you've overtaken Powell and Guy and are second behind Usain Bolt. Sharapova continued: "You have to cheer for today's game, my dad has made a big bet on you!" ”

"Okay, if my father-in-law buys me to win in the future, then I must strive to win!" Zhang Guan said with a smile.

Sharapova clicked the mouse, opened another web page, and suddenly exclaimed: "Oh my God, Phelps won another gold medal in the men's 100m butterfly competition, this is his seventh gold medal in this Olympic Games!" With seven gold medals in one Olympics, Phelps is even better than the last Olympics! Phelps also has the men's 4x100m medley relay up to go, and if the U.S. can win gold again, he will have his eighth gold medal. It's hard to imagine that an athlete can win eight gold medals in the same Olympic Games, which is unprecedented. ”

His girlfriend was praising other men, Zhang Guan was of course a little unconvinced, he snorted coldly: "What's so rare about eight gold medals, my competition has just begun, who is the player who has won the most gold medals, you need to wait until the end of the Olympics to know!" ”

……

At half past two in the afternoon on August 16, the men's basketball team ushered in the fourth game of the group stage, and the opponent was the German men's basketball team led by Nowitzki. In the course of history, this match was supposed to be played in the evening, but now in order to take care of Zhang Guan's game time, this match has been brought forward to the afternoon.

The ranking of the group stage of the Olympic basketball competition is based on points first, with 2 points for each win, 1 point for a loss, and 0 points for a waiver. Those with the same number of points will look at the relationship between victory and defeat. If A defeats B, B defeats C, and C has a round-robin relationship of defeating A, the ratio of points won and lost should be calculated, and the score should be divided by the points lost, and the higher the score ratio, the higher the ranking.

The national team's current record is two wins and one loss, with the first defeat to the United States, the second victory over Spain and the third victory over Angola, and on the surface it looks like a good situation to qualify. However, the Chinese team is not guaranteed to qualify, and the Chinese team's next opponent is the strong Greek team, and the Chinese team has little hope of victory. Therefore, the Chinese team must seize the game against the German team.

If the Chinese team loses to the German team in this game, the Chinese team and the German team are both two wins and three losses, but in terms of the relationship between victory and defeat, the German team will be ranked in front of the Chinese team, so that the German team will be ranked fourth in the group, and the Chinese team will be squeezed to the fifth place in the group and cannot qualify.

The current record of the German team is one win and two losses, they won the first game against Angola, the second game lost to Greece, and the third game lost to Spain, if they want to qualify, they must win against the Chinese team, because the opponent of the German team in the last game is the United States team, with the current strength of the German men's basketball team, it is undoubtedly impossible to beat the American team.

For the German team, if they want to qualify, they can only beat the Chinese team in today's game, and then pray that the Greek team will also defeat the Chinese team the day after tomorrow, so that the Chinese team and the German team are both two wins and three losses, and the German team can rely on the relationship between wins and losses to advance.

So this game, for the Chinese team and the German team, no one can lose, this is a life-and-death battle between the two sides. A loss for the German team means a sure elimination; If the Chinese team loses, it needs to fight Greece in the last game, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape the fate of being eliminated.

The strongest point of the Chinese team is obviously the inside line. The strength of the German team is also the interior line, Nowitzki and Kaman form the two pillars of the German team's interior line, Nowitzki has always been the top forward in the NBA, and the All-Star regular. And Carman also played his best performance last season, averaging 15+12 per game in the NBA, and he is definitely an All-Star level center.

However, it is a pity that this time Carman met Da Yao, who is a traditional banker center, and his favorite opponent is also a traditional banker center. Da Yao plays a traditional center, he must be tall and tall, he must be weighted, and he must be shot in the middle of the shot, and Kaman can be said to have been completely blown up by Da Yao at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends.

Kaman's point of attack was obviously suppressed by Da Yao, so in fact, the German team only had Nowitzki as the main point of attack. (To be continued.) )
