Although he was only the third place in the group, he still had to face the French teams representing the strong European and American teams in the first stage of the knockout round. However, when the game between Spain and Brazil ended, both the Chinese players and fans and reporters were excited.

At least avoiding the powerful Americans, they have more hope of creating history. Although in front of the powerful French team, the hope of the Chinese men's basketball team's promotion is still relatively slim.

But now the Chinese people's confidence is not weak. It is unprecedented to defeat the two strong teams of Australia and Brazil in succession. The victory in these two games alone is enough to make the Chinese team's confidence surge!

In addition, Wu Dawei's current state is so terrifying that people have hope for the prospects of the Chinese team in the first round of knockout matches.

After the game, Wu Dawei and his Chinese teammates quickly left the basketball court. Although the Spanish team's victory made everyone happy, everyone did not forget the unpleasantness they had with the Spanish fans before this.

As the saying goes, it is a cleansing thing to see. Since they have seen the results they want to see, there is naturally no need for them to stay in the arena to find it uncomfortable.

Just like when the last time was qualifying for the Chinese men's basketball team, there were many people who stayed after the Chinese team and the British team tonight. Of course, it was not only Wu Dawei and his Chinese teammates, but also many Chinese journalists also stayed to watch the game.

First, it is for work, and second, it is also hope that the Chinese men's basketball team can avoid the Americans in the first round of the knockout round.

Of course, everyone was in a very happy mood at this time, so there was no need to stay in the basketball hall and watch the Spanish people celebrated happily. In the men's basketball game of this Olympic Games, the Chinese and the Spanish were completely in trouble.

Spanish media often laugh at the Chinese team with a superior attitude, while Spanish fans often provoke the Chinese team and Wu Dawei, which are intolerable to Chinese fans and reporters. The relationship between the two sides naturally deteriorates.

Although there is no relationship between the two sides since the first game of the group stage, if the current schedule is arranged, as long as both teams successfully defeat their opponents in the first round of the knockout round and continue to advance, they will continue to meet in the second round of the knockout round, which is the semi-final of the Olympics!

If something really happened at that moment, it must be a very interesting thing!

Because it will definitely be a fierce game at that time. Although the Chinese men's basketball team defeated the Spanish team in the first game of the group stage, if you think about the Chinese men's basketball team's state in the first two games and the last three games of the group stage, it can be said that they are not the same team at all. So if the Chinese men's basketball team can continue their three consecutive wins in the group stage and pass the first round of the knockout round, then they will still be an opponent that cannot be underestimated!

But these are all later stories. Now that the first round of knockout round has not even started, who will know what may happen next?

After all, the future is unpredictable. What everyone can do now is to grasp the present.

The group stage has already ended by this time, and the men's basketball game of this Olympics will naturally be ready to enter the knockout stage.

The teams in the knockout stage have also appeared. The United States, ranked first in Group A, will face Brazil in the first round of knockout round, France in the second place against China, and Argentina in the third place against Russia. The Spanish men's basketball team in the last group B will face the fourth in Group A.

The knockout round will start in two days, which is August 10. The four-group knockout rounds will be played from the afternoon of London time until all end in the evening.

At that time, the semi-finals of the top four teams for men's basketball at this London Olympics will be directly produced, and the semi-finals will be fully kicked off on the evening of August 12.

So although the group stage has just ended not long ago, for all the teams that have obtained promotion places, the real cruel test has just begun!

All the knockout rounds will be games that will determine the outcome within a round, so this means that no matter how strong you are, as long as you are in such a game, you will not be able to play the corresponding level of state and performance. Then no matter how strong your strength is, you may be cruelly eliminated.

Because this will not be a second chance for you!

It is precisely because of this that the Chinese men's basketball team will try their best to avoid the Americans in the group stage. Although the French team is also strong, it is certain that they are not as outstanding as the Americans. Otherwise, they would not have lost and left the game when they fought with the American team in the group stage of Group A...

The French team, which is worse and has not performed well in the past two Olympic Games, is the best opponent for the Chinese men's basketball team to create history in the knockout stage!

Although the French teams with Tony Parker, Boris Dior, Turiav and Batum are definitely stronger than the Chinese men's basketball team in terms of overall strength, the same group of players lack experience in international competitions, and obviously they are more than the US and Argentina teams.

So in the game against them, the Chinese men's basketball team will not have no chance at all!

And this is exactly the hope of the Chinese men's basketball team.

When all the men's basketball group stages of the Olympics ended on August 7, with eight teams being eliminated, the remaining eight teams that advanced were going to continue their new round of arduous preparations.

Of course, for top teams like the US and Spain, they will certainly not be under great pressure in the first round of the knockout round. But for the Chinese men's basketball team, since this time is different from the past, everyone believes that the team can have further strength under the leadership of Wu Dawei, so they are still under great pressure!

Although no one said that the Chinese men's basketball team must defeat the French team in the first stage of the knockout match to advance to the semi-finals, the pressure is still very huge.

After all, the opponent they are going to face in two days is a very strong team, so in order to achieve such a goal, the hope of domestic fans. The Chinese team started to actively prepare for and train again in the next two days.

After all, the opponent is not very strong, even if the Chinese men's basketball team has performed to defeat strong European and American teams in the group stage. However, Brazil, Australia and France are still completely different teams after all.

Tony Parker is the engine of the French team. If you want to defeat the French team, the best way is to curb Parker's performance. This is different from the Australian team and Brazil team that China defeated in the past.

It’s like when the game comes, Wu Dawei will become the Frenchman’s number one problem. For the Chinese team, who will be responsible for defending Tony Parker in the game will also become a headache for the Chinese team.

However, in fact, the team's strategy in the knockout match was thought out by the team's head coach Bob Deng Huade long ago. That is to rely completely on Wu Dawei's personal ability to play. Although Parker is a very outstanding and great defender, the Chinese team basically cannot have any way to do it. Fortunately, Wu Dawei, the Chinese team has Wu Dawei, an even more amazing existence!

Parker is indeed great, but it is obvious that there is no player in the world who can compete with Wu Dawei. So Bob Deng Huade's idea is to rely on Wu Dawei's personal ability to win the game.

Many times, the way for weak teams to defeat strong teams is not an excellent tactic or system, but more relying on the performance of superstars in the team to rage. Just like in the 2007 Eastern Conference Finals, do you think that Cleveland Cavaliers would be stronger than the Detroit Pistons, which was then the leader of the Eastern Conference!?

The answer is obviously no, so why was the Cavaliers able to defeat the Pistons in the Eastern Conference Final that year? The only reason is that LeBron James, the Cavaliers' star, went wild!

In which round of the series, LeBron James showed his dominance to the fullest, which made the Cavaliers enter the Finals for the first time in history. And it was obvious in the Finals. When LeBron James was not in good shape, the Cleveland Cavaliers were just fish on the chopping board that the San Antonios slaughtered!

Therefore, even though you know that the team's overall strength is not as good as the opponent, Deng Huade knows that what you can rely on is not a bullshit tactic or system. The Chinese team can win and lose nine times against European and American teams in the warm-up match before the Olympics. You can't expect the same team to be sure to win immediately when they face European and American teams in just over ten days!

I can only rely more on Wu Dawei!

Moreover, in the group stage of the Olympics, Wu Dawei has already performed at the dominant level. In the match against Australia and Brazil, Wu Dawei has fulfilled the heavy responsibility of taking over the game!

So, of course, Deng Huade can expect Wu Dawei to perform like this in the game two days later! So although the team was still actively preparing for and training two days before the game, the coaching staff had actually arranged everything.

This is the helplessness of a team with weaker strength. But having a star of Wu Dawei at the same time is also their lucky side. Maybe in that game, Tony Parker will play superstar data, but more likely, Wu Dawei will dominate the whole night!

So whether it is the expectations of Chinese fans outside or the unified thinking within the team, the Chinese men's basketball team's goal is definitely to hope to defeat the powerful French team in the game two days later and really create history.

However, some people think that the Chinese are fantasizing. For example, the Chinese men's basketball team's opponent in the first stage of the knockout stage, the French do not think that the Chinese team will become their obstacle, because the gap between the strength of the two sides is indeed a huge difference.

In addition to the French, Spanish journalists are also mocking the Chinese people for their whimsical imagination. As we all know, the Spanish media has been unhappy with the Chinese team since the start of the Olympics, so this is understandable.

"The Chinese team wants to defeat the French team? In my opinion, they can only think about it! Maybe it was the luck of qualifying from the group stage that made the Chinese people's self-confidence extremely expand in an instant. Now, maybe they are fantasizing about not only defeating the French team, but also wanting to dominate the world!"

Ross, a reporter from "Marca", is a reporter for the Spanish men's basketball team. He has always done his best to mock Wu Dawei and the Chinese team, who have always been in conflict with Spain before.

So when he learned from his Chinese colleagues that the Chinese team wanted to achieve the best record in this Olympics, **Ross seemed disdainful of this.

Of course, he did not despise the Chinese team alone, but he even brought in his companions. That was the Spanish team's substitute forward Sergi Ibaka.

The inconvenience between Ibaka and Wu Dawei originated from the finals of this season. Perhaps it only started from the Cavaliers defeating the Thunder to win the cup, and he saw that Wu Dawei was unhappy.

At the Olympics, Ibaka had previously ridiculed Wu Dawei. During the two consecutive defeats of the Chinese team, he publicly criticized Wu Dawei for not being a qualified leader, believing that he was exaggerating.

And now, when he heard from Spanish reporter Rose about the Chinese team trying to defeat the French team with Tony Parker, Turiav and even Dior and Batum before the knockout round began, Ibaka once again opened her mouth and said disdainfully: "They are just dreaming. Maybe Wu Dawei thought he is in Cleveland now! They cannot succeed. The French team is a strong team, and the French will not lose to a team that enters the knockout stage by luck!"

Although the knockout match has not even begun, it is obvious that the smoke of gunpowder has spread! No matter what kind of situation the game on August 10 will be, it will definitely cause a bloody storm!

It seems that after the Cleveland Cavaliers won the championship, Wu Dawei will start the war wherever he goes! (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
