Chapter 533: Group 2

"Australia made a mistake, won, and won! The Chinese team is mighty. They defeated Australia's strong enemy second only to the United States in the group. Chinese basketball is finally about to rise."
"Since Qi Li coached, the national team has undergone earth-shaking changes. The facts show that we Chinese can also play basketball well, and the Chinese team will definitely break through the best record in history in this Olympics."
The outside world is blowing hard, and the current record of the Hua Guo team is indeed worth blowing.
There are also fans who worry about not blowing too hard, and they will be sad when they miss the knockout.
Qi Li didn't mind, if he couldn't make it to the top four, he would have spent so many god-level inventory for nothing.
He told reporters: "Don't worry, the Hua Guo team can't stop in the quarterfinals, I have enough confidence in the players."
Now there is no problem with the Hua Guo team qualifying, and the atmosphere in the team is much easier, but Qi Li's requirements are more stringent.
However, as a head coach, he is still a lot more relaxed and can follow information about other games at any time.
The Olympic Games are held once every four years. Naturally, when the team is resting, many players also watch other games in China. When the time is right, they will come to the scene to cheer.
As long as the arrangements are reasonable, Qi Li will not object, but they still have to focus on the competition.
The last game of the Chinese national team was against the European powerhouse Serbia, and the opponents Jodzic and Bogdan are both Knicks players.
It's just that they didn't play well this time, and they only won one game. The Hua Guo team will be eliminated when they show off.
You must know that among them are not only the two Knicks players, but also the European king Teodosic, who originally won the silver medal, but did not expect that the slow direct group stage will be eliminated.
It's also their bad luck. If their style is in another group, everyone is a European team. It's not too scared. Now it may be for various reasons.
Their only hope of qualifying now is to win the Hua Guo team, so this battle of the Hua Guo team can not be taken lightly, Qi Li will not let the water just because there are disciples.
After the game started, Ding Yanyuhang scored 5 points to help the team get off to a good start. Qi Li didn’t really care about the start when he was in the Knicks, but his style in the China National Team was completely different. This is based on different team situations. Different tactics.
The Chinese team led easily, and Serbia only became normal after a timeout.
Bogdan used precise shots to help the team start the counterattack, and he was also the opponent's best player.
Jodzic didn't have much performance in the national team. His characteristics are somewhat different from the national team. Let alone him now, even if he becomes famous, he will not be the core of the tactics in the national team.
European basketball has their own model, and the head coach is a bit stubborn. His strong point can be said to be half of it.
Qi Li was a little happy, so they would also save trouble.
The next step is to restrict Bogdan, let the players keep an eye on them at any time, focus on prevention, and pinch attacks when necessary.
Whether he is a pitcher or not, the first point to score is to lock up.
Under the strict defense of the Chinese national team, Bogdan's chances are also reduced, but other points in Serbia have also come forward. Both Radulica and Kalinic feel good.
Qi Li also lamented that Serbia is obviously very strong, but why did it lose so badly in front of it.
It may also be bad luck. They lost only three points in the United States, but they were still beaten by France and Australia.
Of course their strength is not bad. Fortunately, the Hua Guo team has now been upgraded, otherwise they really can't do it.
Relying on the advantage of the opening, the Chinese team gained an advantage in the first quarter. At one point, they had a double-digit lead, but in the second quarter Serbia caught up with the score by shooting.
Looking at their shots, Qi Li felt that the French team in front was a strong European team.
The halftime break can be considered as a breathing space for the Chinese team. Qi Li also summarized the situation in the first half, thinking that they still did not do a good job, and they must defend their opponents better.
You can't just look at improvement. Qi Li had a good conversation with the coaching staff and players in the locker room and decided that he should work defense in the second half. If they don't play double inside, they will play if they want to play inside.
However, Qi Li felt that they would not play a lot inside, and Jodzic did not have that habit. As long as the opponent's shooting is restricted, the game will return to the rhythm of the Chinese team.
The Chinese national team was well prepared, but Serbia's offensive in the third quarter still made them uncomfortable.
Serbia really came to feel in the third quarter, and the hit rate also increased with increased intensity.
Qi Li also suspended the opponent twice and kept the height of the striker on the court. There is no inside line but the strikers Zhou Peng, Zhai Xiaochuan and others defended.
Serbia is also desperate, because they lose bye bye.
The fouls on both sides suddenly increased, Qi Li didn't care, the players went up and let everyone fight bravely.
In order to maintain defensive pressure, Qi Li has been letting Sun Yue play the number one position, and he has to see when Serbia can get it.
By the end of the third quarter, Serbia had already overtaken by three points.
The price paid by the other party is also very high, and physical exertion is not counted.
The players who worked hard in front didn't feel that after the third quarter, seeing the score leading, the Serbian players also vented half of their stamina.
At this time Qi Li changed the lineup, the shooter was ready, Sun Yue took a rest, and Yi Jianlian came to take it.
There is no such thing as a hidden strength, but Qi Li is to make the team stronger as the team gets stronger.
When Serbia was relieved, the Chinese team's three-pointer opened again.
The opponent hurriedly stepped up defense, and then the Hua Guo team played a few inward cooperation, regained the lead, and led more than before.
The opponent can't rest anymore, and once again put on the strongest lineup.
The Knicks also switched to the starting lineup ~EbookFREE.me~ and then focused on the opponent's three-pointer, deliberately giving the opponent some chances to play inside. It doesn't matter if Serbia scores strong insiders, as long as the outside line does not burst, the Chinese team will Stay steady.
The opponent exploded in the third quarter, but at this time he didn't have the energy to continue to explode.
It might be better if the opponent lets the bench play for a few more minutes, but they dare not. They are under great pressure now, which also makes the last few minutes of the Chinese team's battle easier than expected.
The Hua Guo team played steadily, and finally made Serbia helpless.
In addition to losing to the United States in the first game in the group stage, every subsequent game must be won, and the second line of the group. Now the Chinese team has a completely different mental outlook, and the evaluation of the outside world is much higher.
Although few people think they have a chance to kill the United States, winning a medal may become a reality.
Officials who accompanied the team were also very excited. If it is really achieved, this will be a big breakthrough, and it will be good for their official career.
The Huaguo basketball team has also maintained a good state of attention.
