Croatia, a small European country with a population of just over 3 million, has a lot to offer in the field of sports.

Croatia, where basketball, soccer and tennis are among the top of the world, is home to a small population of sports stars.

In the 90s, Croatia won the World Series for four consecutive years.

At Barcelona 1992, Croatia showed great form, making it all the way to the final, where they lost only to the NBA superstars, where Croatian superstar Petrovic scored 24 points, surpassing Michael Jordan's 22 points, and winning the silver medal was a record in the team's Olympic history.

Unfortunately, Petrovic, who should have had a brilliant achievement, was in a car accident on the way to visit his girlfriend, and died in 1993 at the prime stage of his career.

Not only that, but the former Croatian team also has NBA super sixth man like Tony Kukoc, one of the dynasty players of the Chicago Bulls, who has made many contributions to the Bulls on the road to defending the title.

However, these are the great achievements of Croatia in the last century, and since the beginning of the 21st century, Croatia's tennis and football industry has continued to grow, but in the field of basketball, it seems to be gradually withering.

Today's Croatian men's basketball team has long since lost the style of the last century, and the team's core player Roko Ukic was selected by the Raptors in the second round in 2005 at 11th place, but until 2008, Roko Ukic has not entered the NBA league.

Ukic is a true point guard with a height of 1.96 meters, with solid basic skills, can control the ball with both left and right hands, is flexible and fast, and has a wide field of vision.

In Europe, he can get rid of defenders as he wants, rush to the basket, choose to score or divide the ball, and is also the engine of the team's fast break.

His mid-range shooting is more accurate, and his defensive ability is due to his height, long arms, and physical strength, making him a "high-energy" type player.

He has a lean build, and his strength and weight are far from enough at the moment.

His three-point shooting percentage is also not high, and his shooting posture is not standard. Although he has a good air cutting ability, he does not run very aggressively without the ball and has a slightly too long possession time, resulting in more mistakes.

According to reliable sources, Rocco Ukic will join the Toronto Raptors this year to start a new basketball career.

In addition, Croatia no longer has basketball players worth paying attention to, so it is not impossible for the Chinese team to defeat Croatia today and create another glory in history, but a huge opportunity!

Compared to the round-robin competition of the group stage, the final decision of the quarter-finals has made more fans excited.

Wukesong Stadium was already full of Chinese fans, who enthusiastically held the national flag and cheered for the national team in this legendary stadium.

When Lin Mu and Yao Ming appeared on the court, the atmosphere reached its peak, everyone was cheering their names, once history is created, they will definitely go down in history forever and become the swan song of eternity!

"Have confidence, win against Croatia?"

"Of course, I'm going to kill the arrows on the opposite side and let the Croats step out of this arena in a losing position!"

"And we, will be the victorious side!"

Lin Mu said confidently, his eyes have been aimed at the Croatian core Roko Ukic, tonight, let me have a good hunt!

A whistle blows, and the game begins!

Croatia's starting five: Roko Ukic, Marin Rodzic, Marco Thomas, Marco Barnic, Stanko Balac

Except for the unsociable Marco Thomas, the other four unsurprisingly have strange names, which is also one of the characteristics of Croatia, and all Nimma is strange.

As soon as the opening game was played, the Chinese men's basketball team felt unprecedented ease.

Compared with the opponents encountered in the group stage, the Croatian men's basketball team may not be as strong as the German team.

The German men's basketball team with Nowitzki and Kaman is definitely stronger than Croatia.

"Something is wrong, how do you feel that the opponent is not as strong as you imagined?"

Looking at the situation, the fans looked at each other, is this still the quarter-finals they are looking forward to?

Isn't it easier than the group stage?

When Lin Mu defended Ukic, the Croatian players seemed to have lost their way, and their performance on the court was extremely sluggish, and they were led by as many as 20 points by Huaxia at halftime, which can be called a complete abuse.

At the beginning of the second half, the Chinese men's basketball team waited for work, Yao Ming sat on the bench with a huge lead, and Wang Zhizhi came off the bench, using flexible footwork and accurate shooting to play Croatia's interior line again and again.

When everyone regains their self-confidence, the immediate combat power of this Chinese men's basketball team is undoubtedly huge, and the Croatian players have no room for resistance, and can only miss the promotion in despair.

When the final whistle blew, the Chinese men's basketball team was the first to qualify for the semifinals in a quiet quarterfinals, and the Chinese men's basketball team also made history and advanced to the Olympic semifinals for the first time!

"That's it, that's all for European teams?"

"I thought it was a strong dialogue, why is the opponent so unbeatable?"

"When did our basketball get so strong? Come on, slap me, I'm afraid I haven't woken up yet. ”

After the game, fans on major online platforms felt incredulous, and many fans who were late to watch the game suddenly found that it seemed to be over when the third quarter of the game began.

"The First Evolution"

"History is a joint effort of all players!" 》

"Lin Mu, the man who changed the national team! 》

"It's no longer a lonely battle, behind the Great Wall of China, there is a reliable man!" 》

When the team advanced to the semi-finals, Lin Mu was once again sent to the hot search by everyone.

The young man who is tireless and always does his best on the pitch has become the future superstar that Chinese fans are looking forward to!

If he logs in to the NBA, what kind of performance will Lin Mu play?

Will his achievements be more brilliant than Yao Ming's?

Everyone is looking forward to it, and even the Seattle SuperSonics who selected him can't help but be a little excited, this No. 4 pick, for now, is simply worth it!

Lin Mu, together with Kevin Durant, will become the star that SuperSonics relies on in the next five years, or even ten years!

They are confident that in the coming days, they will lead the team and hit the NBA championship!

When Lin Mu advanced to the semi-finals, those male friends who had a good relationship sent congratulatory text messages as soon as possible.

DeMar DeRozan: "Heads-up, Lao Tzu wants to go head-to-head with you!" Lin Mu, come back quickly, I'm going to blow you up! ”

Stephen Curry: "Lin Mu, woo woo, you're amazing!" ”

Klay Thompson: "Good results, you lived up to Uncle Ben's expectations. ”

Russell Westbrook: "Brother, grow fast enough, yes, I'm going to train all night today!" ”

Kevin Love: "Come back and wash your feet, say okay, you're in for a treat..."

Looking at all kinds of blessing text messages, Lin Mu just wanted to say calmly: "Who else?" ”

As for the competitiveness between DeRozan and Wei Shao, Lin Mu smiled slightly.

This damn desire to win, when Lao Tzu goes back, I have to kill you!

Later in the day, the result of the match between Lithuania and Greece was also in the spotlight.

As the next opponent of the Chinese men's basketball team, local fans hope that Greece can advance, after all, the Chinese men's basketball team, which has won the Greek team in the group stage, absolutely takes the initiative psychologically.

But things always don't go as planned, and the Lithuanian team won a strong victory over Greece, and the core player who led Lithuania to defeat the American "Dream Six" at the 2004 Athens Olympics, Salunas Jascovisius, scored 28 points in the game, and used accurate three-point shooting to penetrate the net of the new European champion Greece again and again, helping the team to advance.

It is worth mentioning that Salunas Jascovisius was also one of the players who completed the "Black Eight Miracle" of the Warriors that year, and his strength is definitely much higher than other players.

In addition, the Lithuanian team also has the No. 1 small forward in Europe, Ramnas Siskauskas, and on the bench is Linas Kreza, who has NBA strength.

In the previous life, in the quarterfinals where the Chinese team entered the quarterfinals with the fourth place in Group B, the Lithuanian team relied on the outstanding performance of these three to keep the Chinese men's basketball team out of the door and cut off the determination of the golden generation to create history.

When fate re-enacted, when the Chinese men's basketball team met Lithuania again.

On the journey of the semifinals, whether the new Chinese men's basketball team can defeat the enemy in front of them, everyone is looking forward to it, looking forward to the Chinese men's basketball team to create brilliance again!

On the other side, the duel between the Spanish Matadors and the Pampas Eagles has also come to an end, and Pau Gasol led Spain to successfully advance, the demon knife was not unsheathed, and the Argentines seemed helpless in front of the strong defense of the Spanish team.

It can be seen that it is not easy for the Chinese men's basketball team to defeat Spain in the group stage.

Such a result has also doubled the confidence of Chinese fans, what about Lithuania? Can you compare Spain?

We can even give you a boost from Spain, so why be afraid of your little Lithuania?

"Can the wish for a medal come true?"

Until now, every Chinese person has new ambitions.

The Olympic medal that represents the highest honor, can the Chinese men's basketball team get their hands on it?

When the experts concerned have analysed all aspects of the analysis, the conclusions drawn are obvious.

Here's a chance!

And the chances are great!

Lin Mu scoffed at this conclusion.

At this time, those so-called expert media dare to sing the Chinese men's basketball team?

That's not just looking for death!

You can analyze the disadvantages in the comments, but in front of the TV, the words are definitely the advantages.

This is also the very bad part of the Chinese atmosphere, the overprotection of the players, so that those new generation of young players are accustomed to think that everyone can not criticize them, but I don't know how bad their performance is, a basketball fan can't stand it!

Grades are never touted by media reporters, and people will only praise you if you have achievements.

Lin Mu saw it very thoroughly, and so did all the members of the Chinese men's basketball team.

Ignoring the disturbances from the outside world, now they are just focusing on the game!

In the decisive battle with Lithuania in the previous life, the overall performance of the Chinese men's basketball team was extremely bad, with three scoring double-doubles, and Yao Ming scored the highest 19 points.

After continuous fighting, exhausted, and fighting to the quarterfinals, the Chinese men's basketball team has no more physical strength.

However!

In this life, the situation has changed dramatically!

Whether it was the group stage or the quarter-final matchup against Croatia, Yao Ming got a lot of rest.

Lin Mu's outstanding performance, the good condition of the substitute players, this Chinese team is facing the upcoming semi-finals with the fullest attitude!

After a full day of rest, on August 22, the last ceremony of the Chinese men's basketball team arrived!
