Chapter 1277 1276. Complete victory to advance, first in the group stage! (910, please ask for double monthly pass)

Andrea Bargnani!

Italy's star of hope!

Although Liu Mang knows that Bargnani has done nothing, he will still average 20+ per game in the NBA in the future. In terms of data, compare the data between him and the little health prince who will sign a huge contract with the Timberwolves in the future... and found that the two The data, from points to rebounds to assists, are pretty much the same.

With the height of a center and the playing style of a small forward, a player like this is quite influential in the international arena.

In addition to being upset by Puerto Rico and losing 77-78, the Italian team was crushed in the other three games. It is the biggest opponent of the Chinese team if it wants to win the first place in the group stage.

It is also the first strong enemy that the Chinese team has encountered!

Although the Italian team has no other NBA stars except Bargnani, their lineup is terrible in the international arena.

A group of iron-blooded muscle monsters. In the last Olympic Games, the Chinese team lost four games in total, one to Spain and one to Argentina. It was really unbeatable.

The other two games were lost to Italy and Lithuania, which have strong and muscular lineups.

The physical confrontation between Italy and Lithuania is too intense. They are not very tall, with only two players over 2.03 meters tall. One is center Andre Bargnani, who is 2.11 meters tall, and the other is a power forward. Luca Galli is 2.07 meters tall.

Their backup center is only 2.03 meters tall, and there is no outside player over 2 meters tall.

But they are all short, stocky but fast players with strong bodies, so they are difficult to deal with.

But there is something different this time. The last time the Chinese team played Spain and then Italy, they were very tired from the hard-fought battle with Spain. After winning, they lost the second game.

The Spanish team was also exhausted by the Chinese team, creating a lose-lose situation. Fortunately, in the end, the Chinese team relied on the advantage of winning and losing to win the second place in the Olympic group stage, and was defeated for the first time in team history. Team USA feat.

Playing for the national team again, Liu Mang felt that playing in the finals the next day was nothing. This was the real physical test!

Fortunately, the Chinese team has won consecutive victories this time and has no strong opponents except Italy, so it is in good shape now!

On August 24, the Chinese team came to Sendai City for the final match of the group stage.

…

After the draw results came out, the Chinese team began to conduct targeted research on the Italian team, because this is the strongest opponent in the group stage, but it was unexpected!

Two hours before the Italian team's game at 8pm, while the Chinese team was warming up, the Italian team announced that their ace Bargnani would not play today, and the outside core of the main lineup, Marc Bodin, would not play either.

This makes the Chinese team very puzzled.

Doesn’t the other party want to be number one?

After Liu Mang learned the news, he immediately went to see the situation in Group A, and it was indeed the case!

The 24th is the last match day of the group stage. The match between China and Italy will be played last. Most of the matches in the other three groups have been played. Only two games in Group D will start at 8 o'clock, one is Japan. The match between the Chinese team and Senegal, and the match between the Chinese team and the Italian team. The match between the two Asian teams was held at the end. Let’s mention the ratings.

In the quarter-finals, Group D is grouped with Group A, and Group B is grouped with Group C. The first place in Group D will play against the fourth in Group A, and the second and third will play against each other. That's all.

The results of Group A have come out. Argentina is ranked first with 10 points with 10 points without any doubt. Nigeria is ranked second with 8 points from 3 wins and 2 losses. France also has 3 wins and 2 losses. 8 points, but lost to Nigeria and ranked third. Serbia and Montenegro, with 2 wins and 3 losses, scored 7 points and ranked fourth.

The Italian team does not want to meet Serbia and Montenegro, so it wants to pick an opponent!

The coaching staff also discovered this problem and held an emergency team meeting.

The focus of the discussion is whether to choose an opponent. Compared to Serbia and Montenegro, France is much easier to play. Although France has many NBA players, their best player Tony Parker is not suitable for the international arena. He has no basket. The French team is relatively weak. It is said that they are the best opponents for the top four in Group A.

but……

The final result of the discussion was that it was just right!

No matter what he does, no matter who he encounters in the quarter-finals, winning the first group stage victory in the history of the national team is all that matters!

Serbia and Montenegro are as difficult as they are to beat. We have already defeated them in the last Olympics. The worst thing is to do it again this time!

…

The Italian team deliberately did not send out its core lineup. The three starting players did not play, and the three most important players did not play. Their strength dropped sharply. Although others still played hard, the Italian team did not attack!

The Italian team, which originally relied on point guard passing and center scoring, was missing the core organizer and Bargnani who averaged 19 points per game in the first four games. The Italian team was defeated by the Chinese team without much suspense.

82 to 59, the Chinese team easily defeated Italy and won five consecutive victories!

The Italian team deliberately did not compete for first place in the group. The Chinese team didn't say anything yet, but the French team was angry! In an interview, he bluntly stated that the Italian team had no sportsmanship.

It's like this every year. They are the ones picked and beaten by their opponents every year. How can they not feel aggrieved?

The Chinese team lay down and won the first place in the group stage...

…

…

The group stage is over. China won the first place in Group D, the United States won the first place in Group C, Spain won the first place in Group B, and Argentina won the first place in Group A.

In Group A, Argentina, Nigeria, France, and Serbia and Montenegro ranked first to fourth.

In Group B: Spain, Germany, Angola, and New Zealand ranked first to fourth.

In Group C: The United States, Greece, Turkey, and Lithuania ranked first to fourth.

In Group D: China, Italy, Puerto Rico, and Slovenia ranked first to fourth.

According to the schedule, the Chinese team will play against Serbia and Montenegro in the quarter-finals on August 26.

After the group stage, some statistics of the group stage came out.

The most shocking thing is that the Chinese team's net score in this group stage reached 44 points per game!

There is no doubt that the Japanese team contributed a lot, raising the Chinese team's average net score of more than 20 points over other teams to 44 points...

Yao Ming averaged 26 points per game in the five group stage games and became the top scorer in the group stage.

Liu Mang averaged 9.2 assists per game, winning the assists title in the group stage.

The rebounding title went to Pau Gasol of the Spanish team, averaging 13.4 rebounds per game, and averaging 23.2 points per game, which was amazing.

The team with the lowest average score per game was not Japan, but Panama... Panama averaged 41 points per game...
