NBA Opening Draw To Twilight Shaquille O’Neal - Vol 2 Chapter 966
At the end of the group stage, the US team ranked first in the group with a 5-0 record, followed by the Chinese team with a 4-1 record. The third and fourth place were the Kangaroo National Team and the French team.
The above are the top four teams in Group A to advance to the quarter-finals.
The next night, after training, Wang Zelin and his teammates went to the scene to watch the final round of Group B.
With the end of the final round, the group stage rankings of Group B will also be announced. Lithuania scored 4-1 and ranked first in the group; Spain ranked second 3-1; Argentina and Croatia ranked third and fourth respectively.
After the semi-finals, Nigeria is ranked fifth and Venezuela is at the bottom.
The 8 teams that qualify from the two groups will proceed to the quarter-finals as follows: A2vsB3, B1vsA4, B2vsA3, A1vsB4.
According to the competition system, the opponent of the Chinese team in the quarter-finals is basically determined to be the 2004 Olympic gold medalist, the Argentine team. After winning, they will advance to the semi-finals.
As far as strength distribution is concerned, Group A deserves to be called the group of death, and its strength is generally stronger than that of Group B. Among the top four in Group B, only Lithuania and Spain can compete with the Chinese team.
As for the Argentine team, since they reached the final in the 2004 Athens Olympic Games and defeated the Dream 6 team to reach the peak, Ginobili, Scola, Delfino, Nocioni, Prigioni, Oberoni, etc. Players such as Toto rose to fame and were known as the golden generation of Argentina.
Unfortunately, because Argentina lacks a rich reserve of basketball talents like the United States, aging has become an inevitable problem for them.
For most countries, basketball talents are hard to come by.
With Prigioni and Oberto retiring from the national team one after another, the strength of the Argentine team is also a loser.
In this year’s Olympics, the Argentine team could only rank third in Group B, where the competition environment is relatively weak. It can be seen that the Argentine team has weakened from its golden age.
From 2004 to 2016, the core of this team in 2012 is still Ginobili, still the golden generation, which is both good and sad!
Incidentally, before the start of the Rio Olympics, Ginobili admitted frankly that this would be the last Olympics for his national team.
After Shiver Duncan announced his retirement this summer, it was another sad thing for Spurs fans.
After the Group B group match, Ginobili and many Spurs fans felt a lot when they learned that the next opponent of the Argentine team was the Chinese team.
In recent years, Wang Zelin has led the Portland Legion to sweep all directions in the NBA. Wherever the iron hooves pass, the opponents are all terrified. It can be said that they have stole the limelight!
But just four years ago, when Wang Zelin was a fledgling, he led his team to the playoffs and all the way to the Western Conference Finals despite the disapproval of many people and the pressure from the outside world.
Unfortunately, they met the San Antonio Spurs, which symbolized the pinnacle of team basketball, and were eventually swept by the Spurs 4-1.
At that time, Ginobili and the Spurs fans just thought that Wang Zelin was a talented young man who would have a great future in the future.
But this so-called “future” will not come until five years later.
Unexpectedly, the Spurs have become the only team that has successfully intercepted Wang Zelin’s aspirations so far in his NBA career.
The rise of Wang Zelin and the Trail Blazers has exceeded everyone’s imagination.
As the only player who has personally defeated Wang Zelin in the NBA playoffs in the past four years, Ginobili can’t help but look forward to the game three days later.
Even if it rises to the level of the competition, the hope of the Argentine team’s promotion is very slim when they meet the super dark horse of Tianchao and Wang Zelin, but Ginobili still wants to try to create a miracle.
Just like 12 years ago, no one was optimistic that the Argentine team could beat the Dream Team, but the Argentine golden generation headed by Ginobili just did it.
In the game three days later, Ginobili also believed that he could create another miracle.
…
…
Time passed quickly, and it came to August 18 in a flash, and the Rio Olympics was drawing to a close.
This morning, Tianchao Nanping won the 18th Olympic gold for the Tianchao delegation, which greatly inspired the world of all athletes of the Tianchao delegation.
Subsequently, the men’s basketball game also entered the knockout stage of the quarterfinals.
The four-group matchup of the quarter-finals has been determined before, and the match between the Chinese team and the Argentine team will start as the opening game.
This game has attracted the attention of the Chinese audience.
In the previous games, the Tianchao team was hacked a lot of gold medals because of referees, which made them very upset.
Although the men’s table tennis won a gold medal today, the process was quite shocking. They lost a point in the match with the Japanese players who had a good life.
Depressed + unhappy at the same time, everyone naturally hopes to see breakthroughs in other projects.
It just so happens that the momentum of the men’s basketball team this year is completely different from the past, and it is logical that it has become the most anticipated project.
Especially in the knockout stage, every game won is creating a new history!
At 11:00 noon local time and 22:00 p.m. domestically, the quarter-final match between the Chinese team and the Argentine team officially kicked off.
The venue was still in Hall 1 of the Carioca Stadium, and most of the fans sitting in the 16,000 seats were Chinese.
Who knows how the powerful Chinese fans got so many tickets, making the entire arena look like the home court of the Chinese team.
Argentina and Brazil both belong to South America. In theory, Argentina will have more players present.
But in the scene in front of him, from the moment the players entered the field, the familiar celestial red made Wang Zelin and his teammates extremely excited.
As one of the three major ball sports in the world, basketball has become the most popular sport in the country, not to mention other countries, at least within the territory of China.
The fanaticism of Chinese fans today is because Wang Zelin has reached an unprecedented peak.
During the entrance ceremony, when the players of the Tianchao team were introduced to the field, the cheers from the Tianchao fans at the scene caused the other fans to look sideways.
The Argentine team player on the opposite side couldn’t help complaining: “This stance is to turn a foreign country into the home field of your Tianchao team~www.mtlnovel.com~ It’s not an intention, it’s obvious!” Another Argentine player promptly Make up.
Looking at the scene in front of them, if the Argentine players say that there is no pantothenic acid in their hearts, it is absolutely false.
But then, it also made their desire to defeat the Tianchao team stronger.
Although many people say it is old-fashioned, it is practical and passionate!
Now, the Argentine players really want to hit the Tianchao men’s basketball team in the face with their strength in front of nearly 10,000 Chinese fans at the scene.
