The edge of basketball is compelling

Chapter 224 224 The civil war begins! The biggest upset!
Soon, the opponents of the Chinese team's semi-finals were also announced.

The Gallic Rooster had the last laugh, beating Croatia, the second place in Group B, 74:67, and entered the quarterfinals!
This game was extremely anxious, and the last moment was even more frightening at the end!
After the start of the final quarter of Croatia, the last stand accelerated the offensive rhythm. Bogdanovic felt very good and hit 3 three-pointers in a row!
Under the leadership of the Nets striker, the Croatian team played a wave of 32:18 attacks and only fell behind by 4 points!
If Parker hadn't stood up to stabilize the situation after the timeout, the result of this game would be hard to say!
This is the cruelty of the knockout game. As long as the hand feels good, it is not impossible for the weak to defeat the strong!
In addition, the results of the other groups' duels have also been released.

Group A's "Group of Death" has gained a lot of fame!
Not much to say about Spain's victory over Argentina, Australia's victory over Greece surprised many people!
shit!
No.4 in Group A beat Greece, the undefeated leader of Group B?
Happy birthday!
It really deserves to be the group of death!
So far, the four teams in Group A have all advanced to the quarterfinals, and all the teams in Group B have been eliminated!
The top half turned into a Group A civil war again!
China VS France!
Spain VS Australia!
In addition to the United States in the second half, Slovenia, Lithuania and Serbia have also advanced!
……

In the quarter-finals, Lithuania and Serbia will play first.

Zhou Si paid a little attention. Although no matter which team wins, it will be very sad for the United States, but after all, it is Xiaoyue's first time to participate in an international competition, so he still needs to pay attention.

Both teams were strong teams in Europe, and the game was extremely fierce, and Xiao Yue became the one who decided the outcome of the game.

In the tense moment of the game, Xiaoyue first hit a low singles Valanciunas hook, and then hit a three-pointer at the top of the arc in the next round, and then assisted Bogdanovic to score a layup!
He played a wave of 7:0 scoring climax alone!
Serbia also took advantage of the opportunity and finally beat Lithuania 92:61 to advance to the semi-finals first!
In this World Cup, Xiaoyue, who has lost a lot of weight, has grown rapidly. Although his statistics are not conspicuous enough, his talent visible to the naked eye has begun to make many teams envious, and they have offered offers to the Trail Blazers one after another.

The charm of human pork belly essence begins to appear!
And the general manager of the Blazers gave a unified reply to those quotations with "No"!
This is Zhou's handpicked rookie, not for sale!
The next game is the US team. They easily beat the Slovenian team led by "Nash Jr." Dragic and advanced to the semi-finals!
In the previous games of the US team in this World Cup, they used to rely on outside groups to open up the situation.

However, in this game, facing the Slovenian outside team, Meng Shiyi was suppressed on both offense and defense from the outside line, and was unable to start the situation for a long time.

Fortunately, Davis, Faried and Zeller, who were sluggish before this game, performed very well. The weak inside of the Slovenian team has no ability to resist these beasts.

In the end, relying on the excellent performance of the insiders, the US team turned a game that was originally evenly matched into a "one-sided game."

The most exciting moment of this game appeared at 5 minutes and 11 seconds of the first quarter. Before Curry Harden was in a downturn, the new FMVP Rose stepped forward.

Although Rose's statistics in the previous games have always been mediocre, his performance was not eye-catching, and he was very low-key, but it really depends on him to fight tough battles!
When the team was unable to start the game, Rose made continuous breakthroughs desperately, tearing apart Slovenia's defense, and the second goal can be described as a one-on-five.

dong dong dong!
This is a quick counterattack by the US team. After receiving the ball at the top of the arc, Rose quickly rushed forward, changed direction at the top of the arc in the middle and stunned the Dragic brothers, and then quickly hit the penalty area!
A typical Ross-style one-to-one fight against five, the Slovenian defense line was completely penetrated!
The Slovenian center still wants to block shots, dream it!
Rose made a steady layup with a lever!
Is "Windy City Rose" your catch?

Seeing this scene, Zhou Si strengthened his heart to fight the US team.

Run, the Chinese team will definitely lose!
……

Just when Zhou Si was preparing to play against the French team, he didn't know that the biggest upset of this World Cup broke out!
The host Spanish team was defeated by Australia and stopped in the quarterfinals!
Netizens thought that Spain would lose to the Chinese team again, but they never expected that they would not even be able to pass Australia.

"The only Spanish team that can compete with the U.S. team is overturned. Is God blessing this least-star U.S. team?

hey~"

"The sub-champions in various competitions, but they didn't make it to the semi-finals. It's really unexpected!"

"Gagan has always been better than Canada. The offensive difference between Canada and Ibaka is a bit overestimated. Canada is often underestimated. As Canada gets old, Spain will lose its competitiveness."

"Spain beat Australia in the group stage before. I didn't expect to lose like this. Now I am a little worried about the Chinese men's basketball team."

"Yes, men's basketball team, come on!"

The fans who thought they could win against the French team were panicked by Spain's unpopularity!
Sure enough, nothing is guaranteed! Even after the game, Gasol directly stated that "the career of the national team may come to an end, and expectations are high and it is difficult to accept defeat."

Sometimes, the media hype is not necessarily a good thing.

Amid the concerns of the fans, the quarter-finals between China and France for the last spot in the semi-finals kicked off in Madrid!
This night, the Madrid Capital Basketball Stadium has already become a sea of ​​red!

Countless Chinese fans came from all over the country, carrying national flags, wearing red jerseys and even painted the five-star red flag on their faces to cheer for the Chinese team!
Although the conservative Gong Guidance previously announced that the team's goal was to enter the quarter-finals, and they have now achieved their goal, the fans' expectations of them are obviously more than that!

But obviously, the French fans did not intend to give up the game, and many of them came to the scene to cheer for their home team!
We are European Championship champions!
Can you win us once and win us a second time?
"If the Chinese team wants to beat the French team, it still depends on Xiao Zhou's performance."

While the players were still warming up, Director Zhang had already started the game analysis with Ke Fan.

"That's right, although Noah is not in the French team, their young player Gobert performed well in the first few games, and Batum scored 25+ high points on the outside. Currently, they are second only to the World Cup scoring average in the World Cup. Zhou Si!
He has been called the new generation of European kings! "

On the court, Zhou Si and Batum said hello.

Although the two have never been teammates, the relationship between them is inextricably linked.

"Don't show mercy in this game."

Seeing the Chinese boy in front of him return what he said back then, Batum narrowed his eyes slightly,
"Don't worry, I won't lose this game!"
