After defeating Banya, the situation of qualifying for the men's basketball team became very optimistic.

You should know that when the Olympic men's basketball team was first grouped, the country still believed that the men's basketball team, as the host, had not received any preferential treatment and drew an inauspicious sign.

There are 12 teams participating in the Olympic men's basketball team, and they are divided into two groups A and B.

The group stage is a single cycle within the group, winning one game will earn two points, losing one game will earn one point, and the top four points will advance to the knockout round.

Progressing to the knockout stage means that the men's basketball team has completed the task of maintaining eighth.

Therefore, the bottom line is the top eight men's basketball team. If you want to qualify in the group, you must at least defeat two opponents in the same group.

However, it is too difficult to pick out two opponents in this group of men's basketball team.

First of all, there are the two giants of FIBA, Dream Team and Ban Duck. Before the game started, no one thought that the men's basketball team could win.

In addition, one of the European basketball powerhouses, since the narrow victory of 1 point in the 1986 World Championships, the men's basketball team has never defeated Greece, which has been directly eliminated.

Finally, it was Germany, which had similar strength to the men's basketball team, and Angola, who had just defeated Wuke's men's basketball team in the Stankovic Cup.

This group is not dead?

If it were Wu Ke Men's Basketball Team, this group would be dead enough.

In Li Ke's previous life, the men's basketball team's qualifying was due to a 4-point victory against the German team.

Now, Li Ke has become an X factor, affecting the overall situation.

This victory against Banya made the men's basketball team become the second most popular in the group.

How much impact this change will be, it is by no means a superficial group ranking, but more profoundly, it will be a match for the knockout round.

In the 2008 Olympics in the previous life, the men's basketball team only beat Germany and Angola in the group stage, and advanced in the fourth place in the group, and could only compete against the first place in the other group in the knockout stage, with another European giant, Lithuanian team.

Then, he lost the game without any suspense and was eliminated.

But this time, everything was different, and the men's basketball team had a good chance to become the second in the group.

If it is the second in the group, the men's basketball team's knockout opponent will be replaced by the third in the other group.

It could be Croatia or Australia.

No matter who it is, at least, the men's basketball team doesn't have to meet the powerful Lithuania and Argentina.

The task of protecting the eighth has been completed, and there is great hope for fighting for the fourh.

"In order to compete for the fourth place, we have to continue working hard to ensure that the group qualifies for the second time!"

With such goals and such beliefs, the men's basketball team continued to step onto the Wukesong stadium.

On the 14th, 2:30 pm.

The men's basketball team suffered in Wukesong before defeating their Angora team.

But when the men's basketball team started fighting again in another place.

Li Ke didn't even need to make a strong effort, with 30 points, 11 rebounds and 3 big hats, Yao directly beat Angola's inside line.

Of course, Li Ke did not play soy sauce. His appearance solved the biggest problem of the S Cup for the men's basketball team - the outside defense.

"For the United States and Spain, Li Ke showed his ability to drive offense, and in this game against Angola, he showed his ability to drive defense."

Yu Jia commented, but Director Zhang shook his head: "To be precise, Li Ke has already demonstrated his comprehensive offensive and defensive ability to the United States and Spain."

"It's just that, against the United States and Spain, his too outstanding offense has covered up his equally excellent defense."

The men's basketball team won two consecutive victories, but they have not yet ensured to qualify because it is not ruled out that the theoretical possibility of multiple teams being the same score.

But on the 16th, the men's basketball team's big victory against the German team helped the men's basketball team to secure a qualifying spot.

Although the driver and Kaman's inside double towers are very powerful, they can even beat the men's basketball team's mobile Great Wall.

But the men's basketball team has too much advantage on the outside.

The German team's outside line is a bunch of players hang out in the European League. The most famous one should be Stefan Haman, but he is a desperate role.

In other words, a blue collar.

Such an outside line can only be silent against Li Ke's defense.

There is no way to attack Li Ke.

Speaking of which, Li Ke’s back-to-back improvement is too critical.

In the Dream Team, Li Ke's back-to-back battles succeeded one after another, which aroused Kobe.

When you play the bastard, you can get a lot of attack without cheating, relying on back hits and pick-and-rolls with Yao Yao.

This game was also a back-to-back, allowing Li Ke to crush the German backcourt led by Haman.

After this victory, the men's basketball team only had Greece, the opponent.

"Greece's schedule is similar to that of the men's basketball team. The start is Spain and then the United States team. They lost two consecutive games, but they beat Germany and Angola in a row. They currently have a record of 2 wins and 2 losses. Despite this, they still have a chance to defeat the men's basketball team, which is currently 3 wins and 1 loss."

The above is an analysis by Basketball Pioneer. How can Greece, which has 2 wins and 2 losses, catch up with the men's basketball team with 3 wins and 1 loss? Of course, it depends on the same score.

If Greece defeats the men's basketball team, then they will have the same 3 wins and 2 losses as the men's basketball team. In addition, they will only lose to the Dream Team and the men's basketball team. The three teams will have 3 wins and 2 losses, which means the three teams will have the same score.

In the case of the same score, the first thing to compare is not the winner-loss relationship, because the winner-loss relationship cannot be compared. The Bad, Greece and the men's basketball team have formed a perfect closed loop.

The first thing to compare is the gains and losses.

That is, divide the score by the loss, the higher the score, the higher the ranking.

Although the men's basketball team won the Bad Duck, it was a small loss against the Dream Team and a big victory against the German team and Angola, the Bad Duck Duck Duck was the same.

If Greece loses and the group stage is in a relatively winning or losing position, the men's basketball team's second position in the group will have uncertain factors.

Therefore, the last game of the group stage became a game that the men's basketball team must win.

At this time, Greece did not have Antetokounmpo’s letter yet, but the leader was Spanoris, the “European Kobe”.

Inside, they also have Sophocles Skolzanitis, a Greek shark that can withstand Yao Da.

It can be said that this opponent is second only to Dream Team and Banya.

But the game really started, and the men's basketball team ushered in a perfect start, and then suppressed the Greek team throughout the game.

Only then did they realize that the so-called difficult battle became no longer difficult after Li Ke joined.

It was Li Ke who broke the balance. On the outside, Span Norris was not at all defended by him.

On the offensive end, Li Ke also completely suppressed Panayotis Vasilopoulos who was defending himself against him.

As for the inside, Yao Yao performed well.

Speaking of which, during the 2006 World Championships, the Greek little shark caused a lot of trouble for Yao Yao.

Two years later, the Greek Sharks became so fat that they couldn't even play as a starter, so they could only make a substitute and contribute a little.

When facing the inside combination of Ford Sis and Gillian Dakis, Yao was efficient.

With Yao Liyi's performance inside and outside, the men's basketball team won again.

After this victory, the group stage came to an end.

"The first game was lost to the Dream Team, and then the men's basketball team won four consecutive victories, 4 wins and 1 loss and 9 points, qualifying for the second in the group!"

"In the knockout stage, the men's basketball team will play against the third in Group A, Croatia!"

"Look at the performance of the men's basketball team swept Spain and Greece. Perhaps, the best record in the history of men's basketball team is already waving to us!"

The Ban Duck Men's Basketball Team was the champion of the World Championships in 2006, while the Greek Men's Basketball Team was the champion of the European Championships in 2005. Both European teams were defeated by the men's basketball team. Croatia, which has been ranked six or seven in the European Championships for many years, will naturally not be the opponent of the men's basketball team.

"We have completed the task of maintaining eighth, and the next step is to compete for the fourth place. The opponent is very strong, but we are very confident."

After the game in Greece, Yao Yao made this very official declaration to CCTV's microphone.

This also made the men's basketball fans increasingly look forward to the start of the knockout match.

...

Soon, on August 20, four knockout matches started on the same day.

The first thing that was held was the battle between the men's basketball team and Croatia.

Compared with the Croatia led by Petrovic, Tony Kukoc, and Dinoradga in history, and with the Croatia led by Bojan Bogdanovic, Dariosaric, Ririci and others in the future-

The current Croatia team is at their lowest point.

The only player who can play is Zoran Praninic, who once played for the Nets.

Of course, European basketball does not depend on individuals, but on teams.

However, the team is a false thing in the face of absolute personal strength.

Just like this 8-to-4 knockout match, Li Ke fired the first shot from the outside.

Praninic wanted to defend Li Ke very much, but he had no choice but to have a big gap in physical fitness.

With his back hit, Li Ke scored consecutively, and he tore a hole open.

Then, the Croatian team could only turn the center of defense and locked Li Ke with all their strength.

Li Ke was locked, the men's basketball team and Yao.
