The list of the top eight of the World Championships has been released.

Dragons, Japan, Spain, and Serbia and Montenegro from Group AB, and the United States, Argentina, Canada, and Brazil from Group CD.

Among them, the Dragons, Japan, the United States and Argentina have all won all four games to rank first in the group, and will face the third and fourth places in the two groups two days later on June 27.

Dragon Country vs Brazil, Japan vs Canada, United States vs Serbia and Montenegro vs Argentina vs Spain.

The two days of the 25th and 26th are the first round of the ranking match from 9 to 16, which also gives the quarterfinals a space to rest.

——Historic breakthrough, World Championship quarterfinals!

——Friendship across countries, Kenshin Scarlet Village and the strongest man in 6 billion!

——With the help of Emperor Dong, Japan reached the quarterfinals!

The scene of Lin Dong and Sakuragi Hanamichi exchanging words on the field made the front page of all Japanese newspapers and media the next day.

Frankly speaking, Japan's ability to reach the quarterfinals of the World Championships was a surprise to everyone, including the Japanese themselves, even though it was only a youth event.

The whole country rejoiced, it was simply crazy.

And the scene of Lin Dong pointing Sakuragi Hanamichi at the last moment has also been worshiped by many Japanese fans as a god-like object.

He is handsome, plays the ball well, and takes care of the national treasure Sakuragi, he is simply the god of Asia, the light of basketball, and the eternal good big brother, just look for the boss!

But a new problem is also in front of the Japanese national youth, that is, Fujima's ankle reimbursement has been determined to be unable to play, and Fukatsu Kazunari's elbow is not only tooth loss, but also accompanied by a moderate concussion, which requires hospitalization.

The 12-man list is missing two people all of a sudden, and it is still the most critical point guard position, and judging from the performance of the previous games, although Makishiichi is obviously a little stronger than Fujima and Fukatsu Issei in the team game, but on the international stage, the advantage of physical strength is no longer there, and its role and effect are not as good as Fujima and Fukatsu Ichicheng.

Japan is desperately short of a point guard.

After a day of emergency communication with FIBA, FIBA temporarily granted Japan a concessionary free agent quota to allow them to add one person to the team, taking into account its status as the host.

So during the two days of waiting, all the eyes of Japanese fans were on the best point guards in college basketball.

But in the end, the spot was snatched up by a professional player.

Just announced his suspension at the beginning of the year.,And joined the Shibuya Sun Rock Sendo Akira.。

As a team that has just been bought by the Mitsui Group, it has been an evergreen in the Japanese professional league before, and after the Mitsui Group took over, a large amount of money was poured in, which also made Shibuya Sun Rock just won the championship title in this year's professional league.

But as a backup point guard in that professional team, this kid who didn't finish high school really has that ability?

Japanese fans expressed concern......

In two days, the first round of the 9-16 ranking tournament was in full swing, and the attention of the media in various countries and parties was naturally different.

The media in the lower-ranked countries are focusing on their respective ranking matches, while the Japanese side is worried about the backup defenders.

The Internet in the United States is also very lively, in addition to the attention to the U19 World Championship and the NBA draft, more is still in the continuous melon Peyton trumpet and a certain 'rich' in California betting disputes, the American people also like gossip, watching this gossip seems to be much more exciting than watching the basketball game itself.

The South Korean media was already busy diverting their attention back to China when the group of the loser ranking tournament came out.

South Korea is also eliminated Group C strong team Slovenia, people were killed to the loser's group, that is, bad luck, in the group stage when playing Canada, the collective hand felt cold, I heard that the main center was still vomiting and diarrhea because of eating sashimi the first day, and the next day his legs were weak, so that Canada picked up a bargain, otherwise they would have no problem taking Canada.

Then they met Brazil in the quarter-finals and lost by just one point, and then their centre-forward said in a press conference that he was fully recovered and would be in 120% form to regain his lost honours in the lower qualifying round......

Is this still a der?

The choice of the South Korean media is undoubtedly correct, this is the U19 who likes to report and who reports, anyway, they are not interested.

And as for the Dragon Kingdom.

In addition to CCTV5, there are also many domestic media mentioning this U19 in the news, and some sports weeklies have also begun to report on the game, and the heat is still brewing, but after all, the country is too big, and it is not like Japan and South Korea that a few news can be understood by the whole people with a little publicity, so that Lin Dong's popularity is always tepid.

Most people already know that Guoqing has a very powerful guy named Lin Dong, which is worthy of celebration and praise and encouragement, but to what extent it is powerful and how high it can go in the future, most people feel that it may take time to test.

What's more, it's because the current Chinese people are almost all paid attention to by two major sports events.

The first is the bid for the 2008 Olympic Games, which is a real national concern, and now it is entering a critical moment, and the results will be announced on July 13, which is only half a month.

Another major event is that the NBA draft is imminent in the past few days, and Da Yao's participation has also divided the attention of many domestic sports fans, and the draft on the 29th is after the 1/4 finals of the U19 World Championships.

Chicago is an open tryout, and all sorts of lace news has now been released.

It is said that Da Yao performed well in the trial camp, and he was a lone show, and when he was in the intra-team competition, which team he was on basically won, and Kwame Brown and Chandler, who were previously popular in the American media, were about to explode into scum.

Averaged 25 points, 12 rebounds, and 5 blocks per game, and the rookie thighs were properly raised.

There are already a number of NBA teams showing a lot of interest in him, and the most notable of them is undoubtedly the Washington Wizards.

According to the draft template given by some scouts, most of them have designated Da Yao as Olajuwon.

As we all know, Jordan is one of the shareholders of the Washington Wizards, who held the No. 1 pick this year, and there were rumors as early as the offseason that Michael Jordan was going to make a second comeback and would choose the Washington Wizards.

The Wizards' draft may largely be based on Jordan, and it is also known that Jordan has answered in public more than once that the draft template of his ideal partner is Olajuwon......

Domestic fans can't help but start fantasizing.

Will Da Yao win the champion lot? And then Michael Jordan + Da Yao?

Frankly, what a fantastic combination this is for Dragon Nation fans!

Domestic fans are now paying attention to this, and everyone is nervously staring at the draft on the 29th, which is no less than the enthusiasm of the domestic Olympic bid on July 13.

One is the Da Yao draft, and the other is the Olympic bid, both of which are near the date, and it is reasonable that Lin Dong's popularity cannot be mentioned.

Director Hou of CCTV is not in a hurry, he is optimistic that this national youth team can go to the end, with the current strength of the national youth, the 1/4 finals and semi-finals are not to worry, the real suspense should be the final and the United States confrontation, by that time, although the results of the Olympic bid have not come down, but the Da Yao draft has ended, and this period of time is slowly brewing, and there will be a relatively large outbreak at that time.

Fame, ratings, there will be!

The 1/4 finals on the 28th really confirmed Director Hou's speculation.

On the 27th, the United States took the lead in defeating Serbia and Montenegro 108-89, and LeBron continued to score an efficient 36 points, 16 rebounds and 8 assists, comparing Lindon's statistics against Serbia and Montenegro when he faced Serbia and Montenegregro.

In another game in the afternoon, Spain also unexpectedly defeated Argentina, which was considered a strong rival, with a score of 114:78.

Frankly speaking, by this time, everyone could see that the strength of the AB group and the CD group was relatively balanced, but it was also unbalanced.

The balance lies in the average world rankings of the eight teams, while the imbalance lies in the strength of the top four.

Argentina, which won all four games in Group CD, met Spain, which lost to the Dragon Kingdom and only won Serbia and Montenegro by 1 point, the difference in strength between the two teams was obvious.

And this also gave the Japanese a new hope.

Canada, which is weaker than Argentina, will Japan also have a chance to win?

On the morning of the 28th, under the leadership of Lin Dong, Long Guo was as strong as ever, winning Brazil 96:85, and the whole team of 12 people rotated, including the youngest Chen Jianghua, who also got a full 3 minutes of playing time.

This score was unanimously considered by all parties to be the result of the Dragon Kingdom's military training.

If the Dragons' first win over Spain shocked the media, then the performance at this moment is really not surprising to the media of all parties.

It can be seen that everyone else in the Dragon Kingdom except Lin Dong has become more and more confident, not only is the skill on the court deciding everything, but the confidence of the players also determines their own performance, their own ceiling and the attribution of victory and defeat to a large extent.

If the dragon country when playing Spain can be evaluated by all parties as a 9 points, then the current dragon country feeling has reached 9.5 points.

The toughness of this dragon country youth team has long been deeply rooted in everyone's impression, and it has been virtually equated with the American team, and even in the eyes of Spain, which is not afraid of the United States, it feels like the dragon country is even stronger, because they always have a guy who makes all young teams feel a headache.

Maybe everyone's talent is top-notch, but this guy named Lin Dong seems to have a few years more cultivation than other young people, not only has an excellent sense of sophistication in the style of play, but his mentality is also so calm that he doesn't look like a teenager at all, maybe only in the real adult basketball world can someone end and limit him.

In the semi-finals, compared with Spain's bloody defeat of Argentina, what was more surprising was the match between Japan and Canada.

Previously, Japan's victory over France was regarded by all parties as the reason for France's own absence of main forces and lack of offensive means, but Canada did not lack major generals, but Japan injured two main point guards in advance.

But considering the defensive ability that Japan has already shown, considering Spain's big win over Argentina, Group AB itself is a monster room, and so on.

The opinion of all parties in this game is that Japan will lose by a small score, but they did not expect that the new point guard Akira Sendo, who was licensed by FIBA, actually played a surprise effect in the game.

This guy's ability in all aspects is just mediocre in the eyes of everyone, mediocre ball control, mediocre speed, mediocre scoring ability, and mediocre defensive ability...... Of course, the kind of 'mediocre' in the level is not outstanding enough but not a bad type.

But his basketball vision and passing brain hole are really breathtaking.

With his joining, Mori Shigekuan ate bread under the basket until his mouth was soft, and after entering the quarterfinals, the whole team had no psychological burden, and Rukawa Kaede, Tsuchiya Jun and others also frequently blossomed on the outside and played well. Sakuragi Hanamichi's defensive ability has further improved, this guy is now more and more experienced in defense, and he is stunned to defend Canada's main force that averaged 20 points per game before, and only scored 5 points!

At 82:79, Japan defeated Canada and stumbled all the way into the semifinals of the World Championships.

Frankly speaking, the Japanese are numb and already a little bit unsure of how to celebrate, except for hi crazy or hi crazy.

From the beginning I thought it was worth celebrating to win one or two games in the group stage, and then to the quarter-finals and then to the semi-finals, which is ......

At this point, the list of the top four has also been released, and all the CD groups except the United States have been defeated.

Dragon Country, United States, Japan, Spain.

This will be followed by three days of ranking competitions to determine the second round of 9-16 places and the first round of 5-8 places.

The semi-finals will be played in 3 days, with the Dragon Kingdom fighting Spain, the United States vs Japan!

Writing about Japan's reach for the semi-finals, frankly, I think it's a bit exaggerated, even if I win France, which just didn't have a sports car and Petrus, and win Canada, I can't find any reason to weaken Canada...... At the beginning, I wanted Japan to hang in the 1/4 finals, but the plot required Japan to play the United States, and the schedule was still not well thought out, so.

After all, it's a slam dunk, give it face, brothers.

The next chapter will be very soon, and after solving the rest of the transitional plot, we will start playing LeBron tomorrow
