Chapter 846 Enemies Meet on a Narrow Road

"Don changed my understanding of basketball! If you want to win the NBA championship? You don't need to have a team of superstars, you can just shoot from one star to the next!"

"LeBron gives you a look that means you can feel it for yourself!"

"In the Cavaliers 1.0 period, they were trying to do it all but never tried to shoot all over the place. I think with LeBron's original strength, he can definitely do it!"

"This seems to be true. LeBron's breakthrough and passing are very strong, and his physical strength is better than Don's!"

"It's not too late now. I think it's time for the Cavaliers to change their thinking!"

"No, no, generally, interior men with three-point ability are average in defense. In the past, Utah's Okur, and now Jokic and Love, all have this problem. 3D interior men, especially those who can beat the center, are quite rare."

"If you say that, Yi seems to be very rare! He will definitely get a very good contract next summer!"

"I agree with you. In the small ball era, such insiders will become more and more popular, and now those insiders who are good at defending can definitely try to develop three-pointers."

"Like...Andrew Bynum?"

"N years later, Bynum is finally recognized. It turns out that he is the pioneer!"

"If it weren't for the injury, he might have already led the centers in the small ball era. We have misunderstood him before! We owe him an apology!"

"Ahem, I think Brook Lopez of the Nets is good. His defense is underestimated, and his soft touch has the potential to develop three-pointers."

"Forget it, as a Brooklyn fan, I say Lopez is too soft, the team should trade him quickly!"

"Actually, I think Giannis Antetokounmpo of the Bucks is also good. He is very much like a larger LeBron. They are also suitable for a one-star and four-shooting style."

"This is a good thing! I think the one-star style of play is much better than the current star team-up. Aren't we missing those lone stars of the last century?"

"Actually, the Pelicans are all about shooting. It's just an enhanced version. Davis can shoot and play. This is why I like the Pelicans so much. It beats team basketball!"

“Everything you said is right, but didn’t the Pelicans have one star and fourteen shots? ╰(￣▽￣)╭”

"Everyone is right, this will be the new trend of the league, and it is what we like!"

…

In addition to Chinese fans, the United States is also paying attention to the performance of the Chinese team because of Tang Tian.

The word "one star, four shots" is constantly mentioned, and it can be predicted that there will definitely be teams following this style of play next season or in the future.

After the match between the Chinese team and Argentina, the remaining three groups of quarterfinals also started one after another.

The second game was between Croatia and Australia.

The leader of the Croatian men's basketball team is Bojan Bogdanovic of the Pelicans, plus potential newcomers Saric and Hezonja.

Their record in the group stage is the same as Spain's, but they ranked second because of their head-to-head record, which proves their strength from the side.

The intensity of this game was also much greater than expected.

In the end, the Australian team narrowly defeated the Croatian team 71-67 and advanced to the semi-finals.

In this Olympics, apart from the Chinese team that defeated the United States, the Australian team was the most amazing.

The third semi-final match is between Spain and France, starting at 7pm local time.

According to the rules of the Olympic Games, the top two in the same group and the first place in the group will avoid the semi-finals.

In other words, the winner of this game will be the Chinese team’s opponent in the next game.

Tang Tian saw Ginobili before the game, and the two of them went down together to say hello to Parker.

Parker looked a little sad.

France and Spain often face each other in the European Championships, but basically never win. This European civil war will be very difficult for Parker.

The game started soon, and the process of the game was pretty much what the outside world expected.

Although the Spanish team was missing Gasol and Ibaka, they still suppressed the French team with their overall strength and team style of play.

In the end, they also defeated the French team 88-66 and won a spot in the semi-finals.

Looking at this situation, there is a high probability that this year's Olympic final will be the same as before, a contest between the American team and the Spanish team.

The final semi-final game was between the United States and Lithuania.

The bumps and bruises in the group stage made this Dream Twelve team questionable, but in the knockout stage, they quickly showed their fangs.

They didn't give the Lithuanian team a chance throughout the game, and finally beat their opponents 101-67, locking in the last four spots.

The scene that fans have seen many times in this game is Green constantly motivating Durant during the game.

It can be felt that Durant has come out of the shadow of his previous confrontation with Tang Tian.

At the end of this day's competition, the final four teams of the Olympic Games were all announced, namely the Chinese team, the Australian team, the Spanish team and the American team.

Three of the top four are from Group A. This year's Group A's death group is worthy of its name.

As the semi-finals are confirmed for the semi-finals, Australia and the United States will meet again, while the Chinese team will face Spain.

Both games were exciting to watch.

The Australian team only lost one game in this Olympics, against the United States team.

Now that the two teams meet again in the semi-finals, it is worth paying attention to whether the Australian team can continue to be a dark horse and whether the American team can defend the honor of the Dream Team.

Another group of semi-finals matches are also interesting and full of topics.

The grievances between the two teams have been accumulated as early as 2008.

Putting aside the controversial propaganda photos that insulted China, the Chinese team led by Yao Ming was finally reversed by the Spanish team. Yao Ming's words that he would rather break his leg still ring in his ears.

At the London Olympics, Tang Tian led his team to a historic victory over Spain, taking this feud even further.

Now the two teams meet in the semi-finals, further guaranteeing the silver medal. If you take a step back, you may not get any medals.

As the saying goes, enemies often meet in a narrow road.

Whether the Spanish team avenges its humiliation or the Chinese team scores twice, both are exciting.

The semi-finals will start in two days, and the Chinese team is also making final preparations.

There is no doubt that the Spanish team is still the second best team in the world. The last time they won the London group stage, a large part of the reason was because they underestimated their opponent.

Moreover, the Spanish team plays a typical European team basketball style, and it will be very difficult for the Chinese team to defend.

However, the Chinese team also has advantages. The victory over Spain four years ago gave them the confidence to not be afraid of their opponents, and this Spanish team is missing Gasol, Ibaka and others, so it is not the strongest lineup.

Of course, the most important thing is that they have Tang Tian.

Not Tang Tian, ​​who was just a role player four years ago, but Tang Tian, ​​who was called Michael Tang by the Brazilian commentator.
