50. There is a rainbow after the storm
In the end, the fourth group match between the highly anticipated Spanish men's basketball team and the Australian men's basketball team ended with the Spanish victory!
With a huge advantage of 100:83 and 17 points, Espanyol achieved a hearty victory. The Australian team completely lost the last glimmer of hope for them to advance to the London Olympic men's basketball knockout round!
Such a result means that the Chinese men's basketball team, which won two wins and two losses after four group matches, qualified in advance! This is definitely a very commendable thing. You should know that although in the past Olympics, the Chinese team was always able to qualify in the group stage.
However, every time you qualify is so thrilling, and it is almost impossible for you to get the right to qualify in the last group match. The last time you got the right to qualify in advance like now, I don’t know when it should be traced back!
So this result is of course a very celebratory thing. Even before the game ended, the Chinese players had already left the game early. The reason is very simple. In the second half of the fourth quarter, it is basically confirmed that the Spanish team won the game.
Therefore, there is naturally no need for Chinese players to stay on the side of the court. After all, Spanish fans hate it so much that their actions do not show that they have the mind of being a basketball powerhouse.
Maybe what they are thinking about is how to mock their opponents.
When the Chinese players left the court early before the game began, the Spaniards still booed them, but the Chinese players would not be afraid of these foreigners.
And at this moment, their booing could not affect the joy in the hearts of Chinese players. Progressing in advance is such a wonderful thing for them!
This means they can meet their last group match at this London Olympics with the easiest attitude.
This is an unprecedented treatment. At least the players of the Chinese men's basketball team have never enjoyed such treatment. Many of them have participated in several Olympic Games. However, basically every competition has won the final victory in the last bayonet.
And this is also the first time that this year's Olympics has experienced it.
Like Wu Dawei, not only the Chinese team players did not leave the stadium immediately after the game, but also the coaching staff and many Chinese media reporters also did not leave the basketball hall.
Everyone was waiting for the result of the match between the Australian and Spanish teams. When the result of the match between the Spanish men's basketball team and the Australian men's basketball team came out, the outside of the court also became a sea of cheers.
Of course, this is not a celebration of Espanyol's victory, but a pre-qualification for the Chinese men's basketball team. In this way, the competition for qualifying places in Group B has come to an end.
Spain, Russia, Brazil and China won the final qualifying rights. Australia was eliminated along with the host team Britain, which has zero wins and four losses.
The only variable left in this group is the battle for 3 and 4. The Chinese men's basketball team is currently ranked fourth in the group with a record of 2 wins and 2 losses. At the same time, the Russian team with 3 wins and 1 losses in the top, and the Brazil team with 2 second place is also 3 wins and 1 losses, but due to the mutual victory and loss relationship, it is the Spanish men's basketball team that has won all four games.
The Chinese team's opponent in the last round of the group stage was the British men's basketball team, the weakest host team in the group stage, while the Brazil team, ranked second, was going to fight against the Spanish team. Then the Russian team was going to fight against the Australian men's basketball team.
Now it seems that Espanyol will continue to do their best in order to keep their first place in the group stage, so the prospects of the Brazilians are relatively unoptimistic. Because in most people's opinion, with the current state of the Chinese men's basketball team, it should be a matter of minutes to defeat the British team. In addition, in the game tonight, the Brazilians just lost to the Chinese men's basketball team. If they lose the last game of the group stage, it is extremely likely that they will rank behind the Chinese men's basketball team like the Australians tonight. In this way, the Chinese team is expected to continue to climb up and avoid the American Dream Team, which is the most powerful in Group A in the first stage of the knockout round!
The Russian men's basketball team, which ranked third in the group, is extremely likely to be promoted to the second place in the group, because the Australian men's basketball team is destined to miss the knockout stage at this time, so in the last game, no one knows whether the Australians will do their best to continue to win a game.
Even if they hope to win this game, their mentality will definitely be very different from that tonight. After all, there is no hope of qualifying, and you can no longer ask him to work hard for victory as before.
Maybe by then, the Australians will just resist a few symbols and then completely give up the competition. This is also a matter of possibility. Although the spirit of the Olympics focuses on participation, it is impossible to be like this when mixed with this real world.
People are all utilitarian.
So when you think about it this way, the Brazilian who lost the match against the Chinese men's basketball team tonight will obviously be in danger. This may be one of the reasons why the head coach of the Brazilian men's basketball team, Ruben Maniano, will be furious in the face of the team that can never gain the advantage in the field in this game tonight.
After all, Brazilians also have some expectations at this Olympic Games. They hope that as the 2009 Copa America champion, they can win a medal at this London Olympics!
But if they meet the world's most powerful American men's basketball team in the first round of the knockout stage, then their plans before the Olympics will probably be ruined. Although the Brazilians do not say that they have not defeated the United States, they know that defeating the United States in other games is completely different from defeating the United States in the Olympics.
The Americans will not accept being eliminated by the opponent in the first stage of the knockout stage, so at the moment, the American team, known as the Dream Team, will definitely do their best in the knockout stage. As long as the Americans' terrifying twelve-man rotation lineup is thought to be a great headache when they meet that team.
If Ruben Maniano makes another choice, whether to play against the Chinese men's basketball team with Wu Dawei or the US team with twelve-man rotation, Maniano will also choose the Chinese team without hesitation.
After all, there is only one Wu Dawei in the Chinese team, which makes him feel extremely troubled, but the US team has LeBron James, Cameron Anthony, Kevin Durant and Dwyne Wade... You can't read this series of names at all. You will find that Davis, the strong-browed No. 1 pick, sits at the end of the bench. When any team is unmatched, you will know that you will face a team that makes people feel so desperate...
However, it is still a bit too early to say this now. After all, the last round of the group stage has not started yet, so who will know what will happen then? Although the Spanish team faced by the Brazilian is much stronger than the British team faced by the Chinese team, will the Brazilian team definitely not be able to win?
Reuben Maniano still has some confidence in his team. After all, their goal in this Olympics is to win medals, so Maniano also has some confidence. In other teams except the United States, Maniano dare not say that he has 100% confidence, but at least it has exceeded 50%.
Moreover, they performed very well in the first three games, but they lost Jingzhou tonight. Youdao is that there are horses and people who make mistakes. Who would not be careless?
Although perhaps the loss tonight cannot be entirely blamed on carelessness, the strength of the Brazilian men's basketball team is above the Chinese team. Even if the winner has been decided in this game, many people still think so.
However, no matter how others think, it is better for Brazil to be more powerful than the Chinese team. Now the happy one must be the Chinese. Before this Olympics, Yao Ming's retirement once cast a shadow on the hearts of many fans. Although Wu Dawei's timely appearance made up for the core vacancy left by Yao Ming, Wu Dawei's injury storm before the Olympics and his record of one win and nine losses in the warm-up match made people unable to be optimistic about the prospects of this national team in the London Olympics. Especially in the first two group matches of the Olympics, the Chinese men's basketball team suffered two consecutive defeats with their opponents, and for a while, overwhelming criticism overwhelmed the Chinese men's basketball team.
Fortunately, at this critical moment, the Chinese men's basketball team woke up, or Wu Dawei woke up. In two consecutive games, there were almost 30+10+10 triple-double data, and the defensive performance was still strong. While Wu Dawei took over the game, he also helped the Chinese men's basketball team defeat two powerful opponents in a row, even opponents that had never been defeated in Yao Ming's era!
Oceania champion Australia and America champion Brazil!
Now, it looks like the rainbow after the storm! What welcoming the Chinese men's basketball team next seems to be in an extremely good situation!
This is a situation that is enough to inspire glory and news, enough to make the previously depressed Chinese fans cheer hysterically! (To be continued, please search for astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
