Chapter 1291 Group of Death
Group D.
Serbia won all 3 games and ranked first in the group with 6 points.
Serbia played at the level of the US team in the group stage, and they averaged 30+ points per game.
Dazzling passes, as well as passes that seem to be slow but pass through the audience from time to time, make opponents hard to guard against.
They are also considered as the most likely team to challenge the US team so far.
Italy has 2 wins and 1 loss, ranking second in the group with 5 points.
The combination of Gallinari and Belinelli performed well in the group stage, but because the other two teams were weaker, they did not make major mistakes, won the game they should have won, and finally managed to get close to the top 16.
Angola has 1 win and 2 losses, ranked third in the group with 4 points, and missed the round of 16.
Angola is relatively weak, but the Philippines in the same group is even weaker.
Because of the fight with the Australian team during the World Cup Asian qualifiers, several core members of the Philippine national team were suspended.
The Philippine team has lost all three games, and ranked fourth in the group with 3 points, missing the round of 16.
And according to their strength, they basically missed the Olympic Games.
Group E.
Group E is the most watched group in this World Cup besides the host Chinese team.
Because this group of four teams brings together the top two US teams and the Canadian team in FIBA, as well as the Slovenian team led by Doncic and Dragic, and the Japanese team, the host of next year's Olympics.
In the life-and-death match between the Canadian team and the Slovenian team that just ended, Doncic's lore goal also made Guangzhou fans boil.
The U.S. team won all three games and ranked first in the group with 6 points. They outscored their opponents by an average of 40+ per game.
Being in the same group as Canada and Slovenia, and averaging so many points per game, shows how strong this American team is.
Curry and Durant were the two best performers in the group stage.
Facts have also proved that in the fiba arena, projection is always king.
Slovenia has 2 wins and 1 loss, ranking second in the group with 5 points.
It is reasonable to lose to the US team, and it is expected to win the Japanese team, but in the life-and-death battle with the Canadian team, their performance is worthy of everyone's admiration.
Especially the Clippers' rising star Doncic, who scored a game-high 31 points, and finally ended Canada's World Cup journey with a three-point lore.
With 1 win and 2 losses, the Canadian team ranked third in the group with 4 points and missed the round of 16.
To say that the Canadian team was really unlucky. They were in a group with the US team and were beaten by Doncic.
Wiggins and Murray's first World Series ended unexpectedly early.
The Japanese team lost all 3 games, ranked fourth in the group with 3 points, and missed the round of 16.
Although as the host of the next Olympic Games, the World Cup record is irrelevant to them.
But the Japanese team still sent the strongest lineup.
It's just the same as what they showed in the warm-up match with the Chinese team that lacked Tang Tian and Ding Yanyuhang before, they really still have a long way to go before revival.
Rui Hachimura scored less than 15 points in the three games. His performance is not as good as his teammate Yuta Watanabe, and it will take time for him to grow.
Especially against the U.S. team, they lost 40+ points at halftime, and lost nearly 70 points in the end, creating the largest point difference between the two teams.
Such a result, and such a way of losing, made many Japanese fans couldn't help but yell at Fiba officials after the group stage.
Grouping the No. 1 and No. 2 teams into a group is unreasonable in itself, let alone grouping Japan into a group with three perverted teams.
Group F.
Group F is the weakest group among all the groups, and in the end they had the same record.
Russia has 2 wins and 1 loss, with 5 points. With the highest point difference of the three teams, they rank first in the group.
Puerto Rico has 2 wins and 1 loss, and also has 5 points, but the net difference ranks second, ranking second in the group.
The Montenegro team has 2 wins and 1 loss, and also has 5 points, but they ranked third in net points, and finally ranked third in the group. Unfortunately, they missed the round of 16.
The New Zealand team lost all three games, accumulated 3 points, and missed the round of 16.
Group G.
The situation of Group G is similar to that of Group D.
The French team is in a group with relatively weak opponents. They won all three games, with an average net difference of 20+ per game, and ranked first in the group with 6 points.
The Dominican team has 2 wins and 1 loss, ranking second in the group.
The overall strength of Dominica is not strong, but this is the first time that Towns has represented Dominica in a World Series since the London Olympics.
In the end, he also successfully helped the team reach the top 16 of the World Cup.
The German team ranked third in the group with 1 win and 2 losses. Although the new chairman of the German Basketball Association Nowitzki came to the sidelines to help out, he still failed to bring good luck to the German team.
The Jordan team failed in all 3 games, ranked fourth in the group, and missed the round of 16.
Group H.
Group H is the most dramatic group in this year's World Cup.
If there is an Oscar for best performance this year, it must be the Turkish team in this group.
They won Senegal in the first game, and they did not lose the wind in the confrontation with Spain in the second game.
They still led the Spanish team 72 to 70 with 3 seconds left, and Barbey also caused a physical foul by the Spanish team.
According to the rules, the Turkish team has two free throws and one throw.
As a result, Barbey missed both free throws, and the fouled Osman was also infected, and also missed two free throws!
As a result, Fernandez of the Spanish team grabbed the defensive rebound and scored two points directly, dragging the game into overtime.
The Spanish team also woke up in overtime, did not give the Turkish team a chance, and successfully won the game.
Four free throws, if the Turkish team can hit even one, they can win the game.
And to win Spain, even if they lose the last game against Lithuania, they have great hopes of advancing.
Not to mention that after winning the Spanish team, the team's momentum is like a rainbow, and it may not necessarily lose against Lithuania.
But this seems to be the arrangement of fate. The Turkish team showed the most amateur performance at the last moment, handing over the victory and directing a good script.
The Spanish team won all 3 games and ranked first in the group with 6 points.
The Lithuanian team has 2 wins and 1 loss, ranking second in the group with 5 points.
The Turkish team has 1 win and 2 losses, ranking third in the group with 4 points, but unfortunately missed the round of 16.
Senegal lost all 3 games, ranked fourth in the group with 3 points, and missed the round of 16.
The group stage is all over. According to the World Cup system, the teams that have advanced to the top 16 are divided into four groups: I, J, K, and L.
Each team will bring the results of the group stage into the semi-finals, and will not play against their opponents in the same group.
The grouping of the semi-finals is as follows:
Group I: Argentina, Cameroon, Greece, China
Group J: Serbia, Australia, Iran, Italy
Group K: United States, Slovenia, Russia, Puerto Rico
Group L: France, Spain, Lithuania, Dominica
Taking the Chinese team as an example, the record of 2 wins and 1 loss in Group I is the same as that of the Greek team, but not as good as that of Argentina and Cameroon.
They will next play Cameroon and Greece.
The most direct way for them to advance is to win all 2 games, so that no matter what the record of the Argentine team is, they will be firmly in the top 8.
And once they lose one of the games, it is likely to enter the small stage familiar to Chinese football fans, and their fate is not in their own hands.
Cameroon with Embiid and Siakam, and Greece with Antetokounmpo, for the weak Chinese team inside, this is the real death group.
