This match is crucial for both warring parties, after all, it involves the final qualifying spot, and the United States team has won three games and has already advanced to the knockout round.
Among the remaining teams, France, Serbia and Australia are all qualified teams. The Chinese team had only lost to the mighty United States in the previous game, and then won two consecutive games.
During this period, Ye Minghao's performance was indispensable. Not only did he lead the team to two wins in a row, but he also qualified the national team to compete for a spot.
In the next game, if the Chinese team can win, it can basically guarantee a qualifying place.
The group stage of the Olympic Games is divided into two groups, A and B, and the top four teams in each group are selected. A total of eight semi-finals will be played.
Australia's squad is not luxurious, with six NBA players in the camp, namely Andrew . Bogut, Patrick. Mills, Matthew. Dellavedova, Aron. Baines, Joe. Ingalls and Cameron. Belstol.
Except for Bersto, the remaining five players are in a steady rotation in their respective teams. Bogut, Mills, and D'Errandova are all well-known figures.
And the Australian team only lost to the United States by 10 points in the last game, and the restricted area guarded by Bogut made the NBA's flying superstars at a loss, so they could only shoot iron on the outside. If it weren't for Anthony's explosive species, I'm afraid that the outcome would be really hard to say.
Either way, the Australian team will be the toughest opponent China has faced so far apart from the United States.
There is still some time before the official start of the game, and the players of both sides are warming up on the field before the game.
Bogut was also on the court, and the Australian coach didn't plan to let the NBA's top rim-protecting center play in this game, after all, Bogut has injury concerns and still needs to rest more to help Australia go further in the future.
However, because the Chinese team won two games and two wins, the blockers were invincible. The main general, Ye Minghao, has even burst out with strong strength, which is eye-catching.
And the Chinese team also showed enough strength to compete for a qualifying spot. So the Australians had to send a starter, at least to test the strength of the Chinese team before making plans.
The starting lineup of the Chinese team is still the same as in the past, Ye Minghao, Ding Yanyuhang, Zhou Peng, Yi Jianlian, Wang Zhelin.
Ye Minghao's substitute is Guo Allen, after all, Guo Allen scored well and can continue the firepower for the team. Although Li Gen, Zhai Xiaochuan and others are not very stable, they still have a good three-point technique.
Zhou Qi's performance in this round of the series was very bad, and he did not have the momentum of the original demon king at all. It is completely in stark contrast to Ye Minghao.
If it weren't for the media's attention on Ye Minghao, I am afraid that Zhou Qi would be subjected to more severe verbal and written criticism.
Australia's starting line-up: Matthew. Dellavedova (PG), Patrick. Mills (SG), Joe. Ingalls (SF), Aaron. Baynes (Pf), Andrew. Bolt (c).
This line-up is exactly the same as it was against the United States, in other words, Australia took this game at least as seriously as the United States at the time of the battle.
Although it was late at night, the excellent performance of the national men's basketball team still made many fans willing to stay up late to watch their games.
Even the commentary is full of passion, and it is no longer the kind of voice you can imagine because you stay up late to explain reluctantly, like eating flies.
"Hello viewers and friends, welcome to watch the Rio Olympics men's basketball group stage group stage Group A, China vs. Australia game broadcast by CCTV for everyone. We see that the players from both sides are ready to come on and the next game is about to start. Let's wait and see......"
Everyone in front of the screen also saw that a large number of Chinese fans poured into the game site, and indeed, the wonderful performance of the Chinese team in two games and two wins attracted many fans to watch. We are all looking forward to what kind of performance this Chinese team can play today! And Ye Minghao, who has scored high scores in two consecutive games, will have a wonderful performance in this game. ā
The commentator kept talking, and the players on the scene also walked into the middle circle of the court, ready to open the jump.
"Okay, Australia took the lead in attacking the ball, and the game officially began!"
ā¦ā¦
Australia's backline is short, and both Ye Minghao and Ding Yanyuhang are overpowering their opponents.
Dellavedova is 191cm tall, and Mills is only 180cm, which is not enough to see compared to Ye Minghao and Ding Yanyuhang.
However, they can sit firmly in the starting line for the national team, and they can get stable rotation opportunities in their respective NBA teams, and their strength can be imagined. Although basketball is a giant sport, it is only based on similar strength.
Dellavedova is biased towards defense, organization, and at the same time, he has a good three-point ability, not to mention Mills, who is biased towards scoring, and is very good at shooting and penetrating. Defensively, although not good enough, they were positive.
In short, neither of Australia's defenders is vegetarian. In the last game against the United States, Dellavedova scored 11 points, 11 assists, and 6 rebounds. Mills, on the other hand, scored 30 points.
You must know that these two people won this data on the head of the American team, and their strength should not be underestimated.
Dellavedova dribbled the ball forward and gave it to Bogut, who was in an important position on the inside, and Bogut held the ball with his back, although Bogut was top-notch defensively, and the pass was also extremely rare among big men. However, since the initial major injury, his scoring ability has been almost zero.
Occasionally, he receives empty catches and makes up baskets, and basically does not take the initiative to attack.
At this time, Bogut was holding the ball on the inside to observe his teammates running on the court, and he made a long pass to Mills who reached the three-point line, who was ready to shoot, and Yi Jianlian, who changed the defense, hurriedly made up for it.
Who knew that Mills faked a real pass, and a beautiful second pass went straight to the basket to Baines. The latter catches the ball and slams it out for a dunk. Get off to a flying start for Australia.
Ye Minghao advanced with the ball, and because of Ye Minghao's wonderful performance in the first two games, the Australian coach reminded Dellavedova before the game to guard strictly.
Therefore, after kicking off from the backcourt, Dellavedova followed Ye Minghao all the way, like a dog skin plaster, and he couldn't shake it off.
Defensively aggressive, that's one of the characteristics of Dellavedova.
This kind of pestering defense made it very difficult for Ye Minghao to dribble, and he was almost taken out a few times.
However, he still controlled the ball very steadily, otherwise Gong Luming would not have let him play the point guard position with peace of mind.
Ye Minghao gave the ball to Yi Jian and started to play from the inside, which is a traditional tactic of the Chinese team.
It's just that Yi Jianlian is not dominant in the face of a powerful white bear like Baynes. He had no choice but to attack with a more flexible face frame.
However, in front of the Australians' defense, this time the shot was missed. Bogut protected the rebound and handed it to Dellavedova, who countered with the ball and gave it to Ingles, who scored in the confrontation.
Australians are physically strong and not afraid of confrontation.

"Australia played very relaxed. It's all very simple and easy to score. On the other hand, the Chinese team needs to pay more attention to the defensive end! (To be continued.) )
