Facing Lithuania, the Chinese team won all three games, and this result shocked everyone.

One victory can be said to be accidental, two victory can be said to be lucky, but three victory can not be described as accidental and luck, it is pure strength.

Since 1992, almost all the American national men's basketball teams have been composed of NBA players, so they have been named "Dream Team".

"Dream Team" is the nickname of the American basketball team since the 1992 Barcelona Olympics in Spain.

Since this year, the NBA Professional League of America has sent professional players representing the highest level in the world to participate, so it is called the "Dream Team".

This year's World Basketball Championship in Istanbul, Turkey, is the ninth time that the American men's basketball team has sent players from the NBA professional league to participate, so it is called "Dream Nine Team".

This time, Durant is the biggest star on the roster of the United States, and his strength is relatively not the strongest lineup sent by the United States, so most people think that this time is an opportunity for various countries.

In this tournament, of course, the United States is the one who is most likely to win the championship, and then it is the host Turkey. Türkiye has a golden generation led by Tekoglu, and its strength is quite amazing.

Spain, Argentina, Russia, Serbia, Lithuania, Slovenia and others also have the opportunity to defeat Lithuania in three warm-up matches, but this did not affect many people's evaluation of the Chinese team, because the level of the warm-up match is there, and no one thinks that the warm-up match is suitable as the basis for comments.

In other words, the Chinese team is still looked down upon.

But to be honest, although Zhou Mubai joined the Chinese team, domestic fans did not have much hope for this. Everyone knows that Zhou Mubaiqiang, but basketball is a team sport after all, and it is difficult to change it by relying on one person.

The addition of Zhou Mubai is just to make domestic audiences pay attention to the World Championships. No one thinks that the Chinese team can change their fate against the will of heaven. Everyone’s hope is that the Chinese team can break through in the group stage.

At the end of August, the Chinese team arrived in Türkiye.

According to the schedule, the first opponent of the Chinese team is the Greek team.

The Greek men's basketball team was the runner-up of the last World Championships and will go out again under the leadership of the new coach Yunas. Although the team's lineup has changed a certain amount, in the pre-match prediction, the Greek men's basketball team still has the strength to enter the top four.

Greek basketball has a long history and tradition, and the Greek men's basketball team has always been a powerful team in the world basketball world.

The Greek men's basketball team is characterized by their skillful overall cooperation and tough style. They have entered the top eight in three consecutive World Championships.

In 2005, the Greek men's basketball team won the 34th European Basketball Championship, which was the second time they won the European Championship after 18 years.

In the 2006 Japan World Championships, the Greek men's basketball team made another history. They defeated the American Dream Team led by James, Anthony and others 101-95 in the semi-finals, and reached the World Championships final for the first time in history!

Compared with four years ago, the Greek men's basketball team has also undergone many personnel changes, but mainly because of the changes in the members of the coaching team. The head coach has changed from Jannakis to former Chinese men's basketball coach Yunas, and former head player Papalucas has not been selected. Kufus, who plays in the NBA, said no to the national team.

The main players' team has not changed much. Spanoris, Diamantidis, and Borossi are still there, and their strength is still very strong - after all, this is a team that can defeat the American Dream Team!

A large part of Greece's power comes from Spanoris, his absolute core.

In the 2006 European Championship, Spanoris averaged 11.7 points per game, the highest score of the Greek team. In the semi-finals, Span scored 22 points alone;

In the 2008 Olympics, Span averaged 14.3 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists per game. In the 2009 European Championship, Span averaged 14.1 points, 4.2 assists per game.

"He is a player that all European basketball teams are eager to get. He is a natural leader. He can break through to the basket and shoot three-pointers from the outside. He will share the ball with his teammates and he can also defend."

This is the FIBA ​​official website of Span.

This is a strong opponent, especially for the Chinese team.

Before the game started, Chinese fans were quite pessimistic about the game.

They think that the Chinese team cannot defeat this team because Greece is too strong.

In history, judging from the record of the Chinese team's match with Greece, the Chinese team is also at an absolute disadvantage.

The Chinese men's basketball team has played against Greece five times in the World Championships, with a record of 1 win and 4 losses.

24 years ago, the Chinese men's basketball team defeated Greece 112-111.

The 1994 World Championships lost 61-77.

The 1996 Olympics suffered a 75-115 defeat.

In the 2006 World Championships, it lost 64-95 to Greece, which won the runner-up at the time.

The 2008 Olympics lost 77-91.

In other words, the Chinese team has not beaten the Greek team in the past 24 years.

No fans think that the Chinese team can beat the Greek team, but they are very interested in the match between Zhou Mubai and Spanoris.

If the Chinese team had such a chance to defeat the Greek team, it must have come from the victory between Zhou Mubai and Spanoris.

Spanoris is very strong. He is the champion of the Greek League for 3 times, the Greek Cup for 2 times, the Greek League for 1 times, the Greek League for 4 times, the Greek League for the best team, and the assist king for 3 times. With his reputation and strength, he is well deserved to be named [King of Europe].

Zhou Mubai is the NBA's MVP, the first team. As for this World Championships, the biggest player is not the American team, but the Chinese team's Zhou Mubai.

Whether Zhou Mubai can completely overwhelm Spanoris in the fight is something everyone wants to know.

There is a relatively high possibility of this matter, but they still do not think that the Chinese team cannot defeat the Greek team.

So whether it is official or Chinese, the key point of publicity in this game is the battle between Zhou Mubai and Spanoris. As for the victory or defeat of the Chinese team and the Greek team, it is a secondary publicity point.

But this is enough to make people feel excited.
