Showdown, I'm the God of Basketball

Chapter 345 Team Cosmos Can Win
After arriving at the hotel where he was staying, Yunus also summoned all the team members.

"We were in Group D, and also in D were the United States, Puerto Rico, Slovenia, Italy and Senegal."

When he first got the group list, Jonas couldn't help but feel dizzy.

Because the three national teams, the United States, Puerto Rico and Italy, were assigned to the same group!
Unfortunately, the Chinese team is also in this group.

You know, there are a total of 24 teams in the World Championships, which are divided into 4 groups, and each group has 6 teams.

The ultimate goal of the group stage is to select 16 teams to enter the 8/1 finals.

This also means that although the Chinese team's D group seems to have 4 spots to compete for.

But actually only 1!
Because with the strength of the three strong teams of the United States, Puerto Rico and Italy, it is impossible for them not to enter the finals.

"So, our goal is also to snatch the spot from Slovenia and Senegal."

Hearing this, Zhao Hao nodded in agreement.

He is also very familiar with the knockout system of the World Championships.

A single round-robin system will be adopted in the group, which means that each team will play one game with several other teams in the group, and a total of 5 games will be played.

Therefore, a total of 15 games were played in the entire group.

2 points for a win, 1 point for a loss and 0 points for a forfeit or disqualification.

After the group is over, the four teams with the highest points will also directly enter the final round.

And if the points of the two teams are the same, then they will use the point difference during the game to determine the ranking.

"It's fair, we won't have much problem beating Slovenia and Senegal with our current strength.

It's just that if other teams interfere with it, that's another matter. "

Dayao mentioned the most critical point.

If the three strong teams of the United States, Puerto Rico and Italy deliberately lose to Slovenia and Senegal, let such a weak team advance, so that there will be one less powerful competitor in the next finals.

Such an approach is not entirely impossible.

"Indeed, whether it is the United States or Italy, if they are unlucky and lose the first game, then other competitors will definitely make trouble for them on purpose.

After all, it is undoubtedly good news for all teams in the world to prevent the US team from reaching the finals.

Although our strength has not caused the world's public outrage like the US team, but Slovenia is a European country and is adjacent to Italy, and the teams of the two countries will inevitably exchange courtesy.

Therefore, it is not completely unreasonable for them to target us. "

Of course, even if they don't get in the way, even if the Chinese team wins the two teams of Slovenia and Senegal, there is no guarantee that they will be able to enter the finals.

After all, no one can guarantee that the United States, Puerto Rico and Italy will not lose a game or two in the group stage.

Therefore, if the two teams of Slovenia and Senegal also won two victories, then the Chinese team can only compete with them in terms of net points.

This is very dangerous!
After Yunus finished speaking, he subconsciously shifted his gaze to Zhao Hao.

After all, during the press conference, this guy shamelessly expressed his dream of winning a medal for the Chinese team.

But the reality is so cruel, and the Men's Basketball World Championship is not as simple as imagined!
"It's over."

Zhao Hao looked at the crowd and said directly: "In the final analysis, the way to advance in the group is the point system, as long as we win more games, then no one can bully us.

We also speak with strength. "

Ok? !

Hearing this, Dayao suddenly felt inexplicably excited!

He also decided to take speaking with strength as his motto from now on.

After informing the team members of the danger of the group stage, Jonas also announced that there will be no training today.

Because the World Championships start on August 8, there are still 19 days from now for the men's basketball players to prepare.

the next day.

Coach Jonas also arranged for the team to go to several participating arenas in Hamamatsu City, Hiroshima City, Saitama City, Sapporo City and Sendai City in detail, and get used to them all.

At this time, they no longer practice tactics.

One is to maintain sufficient physical strength for the players, and the other is that the tactical content of the exercise here is also easy to be exposed.

After all, the tactics are known by the opponent, and it is easy to be targeted.

Therefore, the men's basketball players all conduct shooting warm-up training, and the purpose is to maintain their state.

Taking advantage of this time, Nami also quietly found Zhao Hao.

"Why didn't you call me when you returned home?"

At this moment, Zhao Hao finally understood the meaning of Nami's fierce eyes before.

It turned out that he chose to go back to the country alone and didn't call her, and now he is hated by this little girl.

But how urgent the men's basketball team was at that time, Dayao almost used [-] gold medals to tell him to return home.

Therefore, Zhao Hao really didn't have time, and he completely forgot that Nami had to return to China.

He also hurriedly explained to Nami.

The little girl is not the kind of person who cares about everything, and she is not really angry.

In the end, the two met to eat abalone, and then reconciled as before.

8 month 19 day.

The first game of the Men's Basketball World Championships, the Chinese team played against the Italian team!
Before the game, countless Chinese fans had already set up small benches, sitting in rows in front of the TV, eating melon seeds.

This is also the most watched competition for the Chinese team since its establishment!
"Italy is a traditional strong team in Europe. Their best result in the World Championships has reached No.4, and even their worst result is No.9.

Of course, although the Chinese team did not have an outstanding record in the past history of Italy, we now have Dayao and Zhao Hao.

Therefore, we also have the confidence to wrestle with them! "

SSTV commentary station, Yu Jia said with high morale.

During this period of time, as Zhao Hao gave Chinese fans a dream of winning medals, all fans are also extremely confident at this moment.

This is also the confidence they haven't had in the men's basketball team for many years!
This kind of self-confidence almost made Yu Jia himself believe that even if the Chinese team meets the US team or even the universe team, they can win!
Su Qun: You are too exaggerated, okay?
Although Yu Jia is very confident on the side, Su Qun also knows that the current Chinese team is indeed the strongest team in history.

But, that's the Italian team!

If you blindly underestimate your opponents, they will also suffer a lot!
The fact that this team won the runner-up in the 04 Athens Olympics is enough to show their strength.

You must know that the schedule of the Olympic Games is even more intense than that of the World Championships!
Each team will definitely send the most powerful lineup to play.

Therefore, the Chinese team's desire to defeat the Italian team is definitely not as easy as believed.

"Now we'll see how the Chinese team prepares to play!"

On the court, the two teams also sent their starting lineups.

Italian team point guard Fabio Di Bella, shooting guard Gianluca Basley, small forward Marco Bellinelli, power forward Luca Galli, center Dennis Macnado.

"This is a two-tower lineup, and Luca Galli on the power forward is also a center with a height of 208cm!"

It's just that Su Qun was completely dumbfounded when he saw the starting lineup sent by the Chinese team.

"Roughly? Where did you go roughly!

What, he was probably still sitting on the bench! "

At this time, Sun Qun couldn't understand at all. The Chinese team has always been a strong inside team, so it is the best solution to bring Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi, who are the most powerful insiders, on the court at the same time.
