After the first two rounds of the World Youth Championships, a few families were happy and some were sad. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The host Dutch team, which was defeated in both games, no longer has the spirit before the start of the competition, and the South Korean team, which was defeated in both games, has also encountered criticism from its own domestic media!

The United States, Serbia, Argentina, China and Australia have already secured their place in the quarterfinals after two rounds, and the remaining three quarter-finals will be contested in the third round of the group stage.

Among them, the victory or defeat of Spain and Japan, Croatia and Nigeria will be directly related to whether they qualify, and the dialogue between China and Australia will also determine the ownership of the group leader.

Group A Round 3 Results:

USA vs DRC

The United States team, which won two games and two wins, welcomed the last opponent of the group stage and the weakest team in the group, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, in this game, the United States team did not even send the starting five tigers of the previous two games, but played with a substitute lineup.

Although the Congo players did not suffer physically, the gap between the two teams was quickly reflected in the technical aspects, and the United States team played an 11-0 and 20-3 climax in the first half of the game, and the victory was firmly in the hands of the two teams!

After beating the DRC, the defending champions of the United States have taken a solid step towards successfully defending their title!

Spain vs Japan

The match between Spain and Japan broke out in an upset! The Spanish team, which is favored by the majority of the media, seems to have inspired the power of the Japanese team players!

With 2 minutes left at full-time, Spain was 10 points ahead of Japan!

Japan's three-point shooter Soichiro Kami's two three-pointers in the final 2 minutes helped Japan keep their hopes alive!

At the end of the game, the Japanese team coach Domoto even discharged a lineup of Sakuragi Hanamichi, Rukawa Kaede, Sendo Akira, Kazuro Kamimu, and Eiji Sawakita without a center and no point guard, leaving Sakuragi Hanamichi who specializes in rebounding, Ichiro Kamiko who shoots outside three-pointers, and three scorers who can score with the ball alone!

It was this unconventional lineup that chased the score to only 1 point at the end of the game!

The Spanish team still has the ball, just when the point guard of the Spanish team shook the ball past Eiji Zebei, but he didn't expect the tall Sakuragi Hanamichi to appear on his way forward, Sakuragi who pressed the ball with both hands instantly exerted force, knocked the ball out of the hands of the opponent's point guard, and grabbed the basketball that bounced up before everyone, and passed it to Eiji Zebei in the first time!

Eiji Sawakita jumped high at the free throw line in the last 1 second of the game, and threw the ball against the three Spanish defensive teams, and when the ball was still flying in the air, the whistle at the end of the game had already sounded, and under the bated breath of the players and the audience, the basketball crossed a beautiful line and hollowed through the net!

Japan played a miraculous counterattack when they trailed Spain by 10 points in the last 2 minutes, and Eiji Sawakita's wonderful killer goal allowed Japan to beat Spain by 1 point and miraculously qualify for Group A!

Eiji Zekita's stunning goal and the miraculous battle that led Japan to defeat Spain made him and the Chinese team's Cha Yicheng who is the best player under the age of 19 in Asia a hot topic of discussion among Japanese and Chinese fans again!

Group A: United States, Japan

Group B Round 3 Results:

Serbia vs Angola

The Serbian team, which won the group in advance, was not careless in the face of the Angolan team that had a back-to-back battle, and the Serbian coach still sent all the main lineup to play.

Under the combined pressure of the strongest opponent in the group and their own appearance, the Angolan team's performance in this game was not as good as the last game against Brazil, although the Angolan coach is still constantly changing, but the point difference is still widening, Angola can only accept the fate of defeat, losing two games in a row in the case of winning one game in the group stage, and missed the qualification.

The Serbian team won three consecutive group stage victories, and the European champions were tested in the group stage!

Brazil vs New Zealand

Brazil's win over New Zealand is a no-brainer, and after beating their other opponents in the group stage, Angola, Brazil have basically locked up second place in the group, but they will certainly miss out on the top spot.

In this case, in order to prepare for the knockout game, the Brazilian coach used a combination of main and substitute starting lineups, and consciously reduced the playing time of the main players in the game, but even so, the New Zealand team still could not take advantage of the field.

Before they knew it, the Brazilian team had stretched the gap to double digits and had been dominating the game, and it was reasonable to win the game.

The New Zealand team lost all three games in this World Youth Championship and missed a win again!

After the game, the media of New Zealand said: "We can't be satisfied with the title of runner-up in Oceania forever and the habit of playing soy sauce in the world, if we don't do something anymore, the basketball level of the New Zealand team will be more and more different from the world powers!" ”

The Brazilian team relied on defeating New Zealand in Oceania and Angola in Africa to qualify second in the group, but including Brazilian basketball legend, current NBA players, and 'Brazilian Lightning' Barbosa, who had worked with Nash in the Suns, are not optimistic about the prospects of this Brazilian youth team in the knockout round, after all, the Brazilian team that won the second place in the group will face the invincible United States team in Group A in the first round of the knockout round!

Group B appeared: Serbia, Brazil

Group C Round 3 Results:

Argentina vs South Korea

One is the Argentine team that won all two games to lock the first place in the group in advance, and the other is the South Korean team that lost all two games and failed to qualify, and the team was full of contradictions.

Maybe the Argentine team didn't take the South Korean team seriously, and the Argentine coach didn't even let the 'little demon knife' Mioro into the starting lineup, but the South Korean team seemed to be ashamed after the first two defeats, or after the second game, as the South Korean coach promised, the team's locker room problem was well resolved, and the South Korean team once again showed the team spirit in this game.

Under the leadership of Lee Seung-hyun, the KBL forward group continued to impact Argentina's interior line at the beginning of the game, and the interior line of this Argentine team happened to be the weakest interior line in the history of the country.

Lee Seung-hyun's strong attack under the basket narrowed the gap between the two sides to 3 points, but Argentina broke through by Mioro in the last attack and caused a foul on the South Korean team. Under the pressure of the Korean team, Mioro made one of two free throws to expand the score gap to 4 points, and sealed the victory with less than 5 seconds left for the Korean team to execute the last attack!

The media of the South Korean team said after the game: "If the Korean team plays in such a form at the beginning of the World Youth Championships, the Korean team may not be able to qualify from the group!" ”

But in any case, the other two teams in the top three in Asia have qualified from the group, compared to China, which qualified strongly, and Japan, which miraculously qualified, the South Korean team's trip to the World Youth Championship is undoubtedly a very failure. (To be continued.) )
