Chapter 132 The Croatian Men's Basketball Team Tries Metaphysics (Please subscribe, ask for a monthly ticket)
"Dear audience, welcome to today's game. Today, the Chinese men's basketball team will welcome their opponent, the Croatian men's basketball team, in the quarter-finals at the Wukesong Stadium. The outcome of this game will directly determine the ranking of the Chinese men's basketball team in the Olympic Games." Yu Jia said.

Now Yu Jia and Sun Zhengping take turns as the commentators of the competition, and the only constant guest is still our model worker Zhang Weiping.

The biggest basketball star in Croatia is Kukoc, who was once the best sixth man of the Bulls. In the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, the Croatian team showed a very high competitive state. They went all the way to the final, and finally lost to the Dream Team composed of NBA superstars. In the final, the Croatian superstar Petrovic scored 4 points, even surpassing Jordan's 22 points.

But everything is in the past. Facts have proved that the Croatian basketball team is getting worse day by day. Thanks to the good luck of grouping in this Olympics, Croatia would have to worry about the team's qualifying.

"The Chinese team lost to Greece in the last game, but they also came to the second place in the group by virtue of the advantage of the point difference. This is the best result of the Chinese team since participating in the Olympics. We have been improving, which is a good thing. Now we are getting stronger. Time has finally waited for enough good young blood. Yao Ming has also become a unique insider. We are looking forward to what the Chinese team will do today. Let us cheer for them." Yu Jia said loudly, and the fans at the scene also cheered.

"This is the top 8 stage. In the World Series, we are always able to get out of the group stage, but we frequently fall in the top 8 position and fail to achieve a breakthrough. One game determines the outcome, only success is allowed, and failure is not allowed." Li Nan said as a teammate before the opening.

"China team, come on!!!" The teammates said in unison, the most important thing at home is momentum.

When the national anthem was sung at the opening, the sense of pride and belonging came to him at that moment, and touched Lin Yue's young heart. This is the national consciousness.

Everyone knows the importance of this game. If you win, you will advance to the semi-finals and break through history;

In the opening lineup, Jonas chose to change. This is the first change since the Olympics. Lin Yue, who had been performing well before, was placed in the starting lineup. Liu Wei, who was a stable starting lineup, was taken away by Lin Yue.

"The Chinese team changed their lineup today, Lin Yue, Sun Yue, Zhu Fangyu, Yi Jianlian, Yao Ming, does this mean that Lin Yue will play point guard?" Zhang Weiping asked.

"Lin Yue's height of 198 is the shortest player in this lineup. The Chinese team is an opening lineup of pure big men. Generally, the start of the game is to test each other and focus on positions. Maybe this lineup of the Chinese team can really create opportunities." Yu Jia replied.

"The only hidden danger is Yao Ming's injury. In the game against Greece, Yao Ming only played for more than ten minutes. I don't know if Yao Ming will recover in this game." Zhang Weiping worried.

In the opening game, Yi Jianlian won the opening ball for the Chinese team in the jump ball.

Without Liu Wei on the court, Lin Yue played the role of point guard.

Croatia's starting point guard is 185cm Marko Popovich, yes, the same name as the Spurs coach Popovich.

He has advantages in height and shape, but he is now 26 years old and has much better experience than Lin Yue.

The opponent was very flexible and followed closely. Lin Yue's dribbling was not as stable as Liu Wei, so he still left it to his teammates.

After starting to run, he will deal the cards and organize the attack.

Zhu Fangyu used the cover and ran outside the three-point line on the right. Lin Yue caught the ball and passed it to his teammate.

The speed of the ball was not fast, and Zhu Fangyu shot directly after holding it firmly, without any delay.

"Good shot, Zhu Fangyu felt good at the start of this game. In the first two group matches, Zhu Fangyu's three-point shooting percentage did not exceed 30%, but his shooting percentage in the first two games exceeded 50%. The recovery of his shooting percentage is good news for the Chinese team." Yu Jia said.

Zhu Fangyu ran to high-five Lin Yue. The pass was so comfortable. As soon as he landed, Lin Yue's pass arrived. The strength and height were just right. A good passer can affect the shooting percentage.

But Croatia is not a vegetarian either. Shooting guard Roko Ukic received a pass from his teammate and scored a layup. Croatian center Tomic with 217 pulled Yao Ming out of the paint and Ukic made an easy layup.

In the opening game, both sides quickly entered the state. Yao Ming received Sun Yue's pass from the inside line, and continuously used dreamy footsteps to trick Tomic's defensive hooks and scored.

Next, Sun Yue was not to be outdone, and his teammates were performing. He, a player who is about to play in the NBA, also showed his skills. He dribbled the ball for half the court, turned around and threw away Ukic who was defending, stopped suddenly and scored a mid-range jumper.

Croatian striker Banic made a layup against Zhu Fangyu's defense and caused a foul by the opponent.

"Zhu Fangyu can be careful with this ball. The hand has a downward movement. The overly strong defense gave Croatia a chance." Zhang Weiping said.

With Barnich's two free throws, both sides scored in the opening three offenses.

In this crucial game, no one will be outdone. In the eyes of the opponent, this grouping is the best situation. If you let Croatia play Spain, they will not be happy with a strong team like the United States.

In the last group match between the Chinese team and the Greek team, Croatian players were also watching the live broadcast in the hotel. At that time, they were fans of the Chinese team. After defeating Greece, their opponent in the quarter-finals was the Chinese team, and then they went to play another weaker team. Maybe they could go further.

So, when they saw Lin Yue scoring consecutive points against the Greek team, the Croatian players in the hotel stood up and applauded, "This guy is really good, we need to be more vigilant about him then."

"This coach is out of his mind. He has kept Yao Ming on the bench. If he has a chance to win, he won't win the game. He's doing badly." A Croatian player scolded the coach, and then looked at his own coach in fear.

In the end, the Chinese team replaced the main players early in the fourth quarter, and they knew that the Greek team had won the game.

The Croatian players were in a bad mood. Afterwards, when the results of the quarter-final match were announced, they reversed the two levels directly, and their mood turned sharply. They still played against the Chinese team.

The players were grinning from ear to ear, and they didn't realize that the Chinese team's second place in the group relied on the strength of the team, not the inside story of the home court. The victory over Spain and Germany was all a battle of hard work.

On the contrary, for Croatia, the good draw in the group stage won them a chance to qualify. After the metaphysics of the group stage, it is too fantastic to expect metaphysics to win again in the knockout round.
