To say the most confident in this game, An Luo has to be. He confessed to reporters after the match with the Argentine men’s basketball team:
In fact, I have never lacked confidence in the game. We have a good enough coaching team, good enough players, and enough enthusiastic fans. All of us People work together, united as one, and will surely be able to go further!"
Compared to An Luo's straightforwardness, Yi Jianlian is much more reserved.
"The Spanish men's basketball team is a strong opponent. It is not a simple thing to beat them, but we will not give up. We had that opportunity 11 years ago, but unfortunately, we failed in the end. However, this opportunity has now come to us again. My teammates and I will definitely do our best to do better. Making history is a proud thing, and this is also the common dream of our generation of players. I hope to get what I want before the end of my career."
The World Cup matches are arranged very tightly, with very little rest time between matches. After the end of the second round of the group stage, the first round of the World Cup knockout round officially started. On September 10th, the four teams that were the first to advance to the quarter-finals started an eight-to-four game. At this stage, the only competition areas that are still playing are Dongguan and Shanghai. Of course, there is also the Beijing Division. The final of this World Cup will be held in Beijing Wukesong Stadium, but that will be a few days later.
The first matchup was between the Argentine Men's Basketball Team and the Serbian Men's Basketball Team. Just like the match between the Tianchao Men's Basketball Team and the Spanish Men's Basketball Team, this is another match that is regarded as one-sided by everyone. The performance of the Serbian men's basketball team in international competitions in recent years is too strong! Almost no one is optimistic about the Argentine men's basketball team. Even if the Serbian men's basketball team lost to the Spanish men's basketball team in the last match of the group stage, everyone did not underestimate the Serbian men's basketball team because of this defeat. Just like they were not more optimistic about them because the Argentina men's basketball team defeated the Chinese men's basketball team. After all, matches that have nothing to do with winning or losing are not of much reference value.
Serbia is so strong! From the perspective of paper strength, the Serbian men's basketball team has an overwhelming advantage in the paint. As long as they make reasonable use of the space and put the ball in Jokic's hands, the Argentine team has basically no way to stop it except for fouls, and will even continue to send 2+1. Taking advantage of this point, Serbia is invincible.
But the result of the game surprised everyone. The Argentine men's basketball team defeated the Serbian men's basketball team with a nearly fantastic team basketball, directly shattering the latter's ambitions. The Serbian thought the problem too simple, always looking for the high points of the inside line very crudely, ignoring the connection between the inside and outside lines, and finally fell into the circle of Argentine players.
After the start of the game, Argentina's flexible counterattack and Serbia's basket attack both played very well. After the game was deadlocked for a quarter and a half, the Argentine’s perimeter suddenly exploded and soared for 6 three-pointers. Even though the Serbian also returned three three-pointers in the final stage, they were still 5 points behind the Argentine men’s basketball team. End of the first half.
In the second half, you come and go, and the game situation continues to be deadlocked. Although Serbia lags behind most of the time, they once surpassed the score in the fourth quarter. But at this time, the head coach of the Argentine men's basketball team decisively called a timeout to adjust the team's offensive and defensive tactics. After returning from the timeout, the Argentine players, led by Campazzo, played a wave of 20:6 offensive waves, directly pulling the difference to double digits. Subsequently, the Serbian men's basketball team fought back tenaciously, but the Argentines stabilized their advantage under the control of Campazzo and Scola. In the end, they defeated the Serbian men's basketball team with a score of 97:87 and advanced to the World Cup semi-finals.
After this game, countless media and fans were dumbfounded and speechless. This is definitely the biggest upset that has erupted since the start of the World Cup. Serbia, as the first favorite to win this World Cup, played a terrifying dominance in the group stage. Although it unexpectedly lost to Spain in the second stage, the teacher was sent off early in that game, and Serbia also Did not try his best in that game. This Serbian team led by NBA stars such as Yoo, Bogdanovic, Belica, etc., must have a whole body, depth and depth, and extremely strong internal strength. At the same time, it also has Bogdanovic on the outside. Mr. Critical, who could have imagined that they just stopped in the quarter-finals.
In this fierce confrontation, Scola incarnates as an offensive weapon and has repeatedly stood up at critical moments. Played 31 minutes in the game, shooting 7 of 13 shots, 2 of 5 three-pointers, 4 of 5 free throws, 20 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 1 blocked shot. UU read www.uukanshu. com is the absolute mainstay of the Argentine interior.
Scola's performance can be called the "core" word, but this night, he is not the person who performed the best. Campazzo is the most powerful man on the court. He dominated the game with his incredible personal play. As the shortest player in the game, Campazzo, who is only 179 cm tall, shows his magic all the time. A coquettish back pass from outside the three-point line to his teammates, a precise hit on the earth to assist his teammates, a three-point retreat after a heads-up, the ultimate match-and-demand coordination. In the game, Campazzo played 30 minutes, 7 of 12 shots, 3 of 6 three-pointers, 1 of 3 free throws, 18 points, 12 assists, 6 rebounds and 3 steals. The first defender of the World Cup, based on Campazzo's performance tonight, he deserves it.
Under the leadership of these two players, the Argentine men's basketball team played a breathtaking game, facing Serbia, which is far stronger on paper than its own. When the whole world is not optimistic about Argentina winning, the Argentine players I believe they can do it.
After the game, Scolazhi said with satisfaction to the reporter who interviewed him: "I am totally different from those in the accident world, because we know how good our team is, and we have always believed that we can beat any opponent."
The defeat of the Serbian men's basketball team was largely due to their own arrogance. Whether inside or outside, they have decisive players. However, their perimeter players were clearly not prepared for this game. Perhaps, they simply believe that they only need to rely on the huge advantage of the inside to crush their opponents. Serbian players have long put their eyes on the American men's basketball team. But now they have no way to meet the American men's basketball team.
