The Olympic Games have started for more than ten days, many events have been completed, and many gold medals have been produced.

Coming to its home stadium, China has sent a large number of athletes to compete for every gold medal it can. Currently, it has ranked first in the gold medal list with 29 gold medals and ranked first in the medal list with 71 medals.

In many sports, Chinese athletes have created the best results in the country's history.

Among them, the Chinese men's football team scored the first goal of the national team in the Olympic Games, setting a new historical record. By the way, they also showed off Chinese Kung Fu, playing according to the Belgian players...

The men's volleyball team also set a new Olympic record in the history of the national team. Although they lost in the quarter-finals and were eliminated, they won both games in the qualifying round and finished fifth!

In basketball, the Chinese men's basketball team defeated Germany 98-71 to advance to the finals, which also set a new record for the Chinese men's basketball team in the group stage at the Athens Olympics.

All three major goals performed well!

After the Chinese men's basketball team advanced to the finals, other quarter-final teams were also announced one after another.

In Group B where the Chinese team is located, the Chinese team with 5 wins and 0 losses, Croatia with 3 wins and 2 losses, Iran with 2 wins and 3 losses, and Russia with 2 wins and 3 losses advanced to the finals.

In Group A, the United States with 4 wins and 1 loss ranked first in the group stage, Spain with 3 wins and 2 losses, Greece with 3 wins and 2 losses, and Argentina with 2 wins and 3 losses advanced to the finals.

On August 20th, there will be two cross-match matches between the second and third places in the two groups, Spain VS Silang and Croatia VS Greece.

On the 21st, there will be two cross-match matches between the top and fourth places in the two groups, China VS Argentina, and the United States VS Russia.

The game on the 20th... is not much to watch. The difference in strength between Spain and Iran is too obvious, and it is difficult for Croatia to compete with Greece.

But the game on the 21st is much more topical. China and Argentina continued the battle of the last World Championship. By coincidence, the current core combinations of the men's basketball teams of both countries are known as the "Golden Generation"

Number.

The United States and Russia are full of topics from all aspects except strength. Just seeing these two names together makes even non-basketball fans want to see the outcome of the two teams.

…

…

"Don't underestimate them. They have defeated the American team before..."

"Ace, you have to take responsibility when the opponent's nerve knife breaks out. You are our best player..."

"Of course, you don't have to be under so much pressure. The other side has Ginobili and we have Ace..."

After the training and tactics meeting on the 20th, the head coach of the Chinese team, Harris, was increasing the pressure on the players. Zhang, the leader of the basketball team, personally acted as the translator for coach Harris.

Winning the group stage was too easy, we had the right time, the right place, and the right people.

But it's different when it comes to the knockout rounds. You can play in the group stage with a very relaxed attitude. The main thing is that it doesn't matter if you lose one or even two games. Even if it's a devilish group like Group A, you can definitely get into the top eight if you win three games.

And once you lose in the knockout round, you really lose.

Winning Olympic medals is the minimum goal of the Chinese men's basketball team in this home Olympics! That is to say, at least it cannot lose in the first round of the knockout round!

The Argentine team defeated the United States in an upset, and the Chinese team eliminated Argentina in the last World Championships. Now for this game, the Argentine team is definitely preparing for revenge, and it is full of confident revenge.

, even if the Chinese team has a certain strength advantage, it cannot underestimate the opponent.

…

"Hey, you're here too. How did you do in the group stage? Did you win all?" Liu Mang sat in the front row and asked the other No. 24 who happened to be sitting next to him.

"Tracy, let's change seats. No, Kwame, you also change seats with me. I want to sit further away." Kobe was so angry that he ignored Liu Mang and turned to McGrady and Kwame Brown next to him.

Ask to change seats.

McGrady stood up and changed places with Kobe, and looked at Liu Mang speechlessly. It was so embarrassing!

However, despite losing one game in the group stage, McGrady is still very happy now.

The Raptors have really worked hard to build a team around him this time. They sent away Richard Jefferson to make room for him, and found two very good shooters and point guards for him.

Joe Johnson also spent a lot of money to stay, and the replacements for him and Joe Johnson were Shane Battier and Jason Kapono. The former is an extremely good locker room leader and defensive warrior, a corner shooter, and can

Playing a power forward in a small lineup, the latter is also an excellent pitcher. The Raptors are collecting a lot of pitchers for Tracy McGrady, and at the same time, they are also gathering a lot of pitchers for Kwame Brown.

When Kwame Brown was first traded, he felt like the sky was falling. However, after McGrady's comfort and multiple interviews with the Raptors management, Kwame Brown gradually regained his fighting spirit.

As McGrady said, Kwame Brown felt that being sent to the Raptors was the best choice besides staying with the Hawks. He was not sent to the West to fight against those super insiders every day, and the Raptors

Building insiders around his characteristics.

The Raptors seem to want to copy the Magic's one-star, four-shooting tactics and the Hawks' one-year-old, four-small or even five-small lineup to their side, and want to follow a similar path to the Suns last season.

Udrih, Blake, Joe Johnson, Kapono, Shane Battier, Bargnani, Kris Humphries, Brad Miller...

McGrady and Kwame Brown see such a group of teammates... they feel full of hope!

The lineup depth at every position is sharp!

"Ace." McGrady called to Liu Mang next to him after sitting down.

"Yeah." Liu Mang responded.

"Our showdown is about to begin."

"Yeah, I'm looking forward to it..."

…

Spain and Greece both defeated their opponents without any suspense.

Especially in terms of effort, both teams worked very hard and did not regard the other as a so-called weak team. Both teams went all out and did not give the other side any chance of upset.

In the knockout round, no matter how weak the opponent is, you can't relax. If you lose, everything will be over.

This gave the Chinese team players a very positive experience watching the game and they learned a little about the mentality of a strong team.

The biggest problem for the Chinese team is that it only took four years for them to become a strong team, while the other teams in the top eight were or are now mainstream strong teams in the world's basketball world.

This makes Harris, the head coach of the Chinese team, very satisfied. It is indeed the right thing to bring the whole team to watch the game!

Although Harris is planning to resign after this Olympics, he turned 71 two months ago, won the NBA's best coach in the 94-95 season, and led the Chinese team to the Olympic semi-finals and the World Championships.

Championship, in the eyes of many media, professional basketball people and fans, the Chinese team has become the top team in the world basketball world, which was created by Harris.

Harris also wants to turn the Chinese team into a truly strong team, and he can continue this strong team posture after he retires.

In this way, his name is bound to leave an indelible mark on Chinese basketball and even the world's basketball world!

As an old coach who has been an assistant coach since the 1960s and has struggled in the coaching position for more than 40 years, this is what he desires most and is the dream he pursues throughout his life.

Spain and Greece have advanced to the semi-finals, and tomorrow will be the quarter-finals between the Chinese team and Argentina, and the quarter-finals between the US team and Russia.

If the Chinese team can enter the semi-finals, it is basically certain that the semi-final teams are China, Spain, Greece, and the United States. In addition to the United States, the other three teams have swept all the world series since the new century except for the 2002 World Championship champion.

All the champions and runners-up basically brought together the most powerful basketball powers in the new century!

"The Great Age of Basketball"

This is the cover headline given by the International Edition of Time Magazine after Spain and Greece advanced to the semi-finals.

There is no doubt that these eight years have been the most dazzling moments in world basketball. The U.S. team has struggled to reach the top four; Yugoslavia, Argentina, and China have won the world championship successively, and Argentina, Greece, and Spain have ranked second, and the U.S. team has continued to win.

Failed to win a medal in three World Series...

The last time this kind of multi-team competition for hegemony in the world of basketball was the era of the former Soviet Union, former Yugoslavia, and the United States team before the emergence of the Dream Team!
