The situation in group B is much more complicated than that in group A.

Among the six teams in Group B, except Brazil and Nigeria, one was eliminated with 2 wins and 3 losses, and the other was eliminated with 1 win and 4 losses. The other four teams were all 3 wins and 2 losses.

Croatia, Argentina, Lithuania and Spain advanced to the quarterfinals.

Among them, Croatia lost to Argentina, Argentina lost to Lithuania, Lithuania lost to Spain, and Spain lost to Croatia...

In a perfect cycle, there is no absolute strong, mutual restraint, end to end.

So how to sort becomes a complicated task.

Unlike football, which counts goal difference, goal difference counts as goals.

In the basketball group match, the winners and losers are calculated among each other, and the final ranking is carried out.

As a result, Croatia lost one game to Nigeria, and Nigeria was eliminated. If the score is not calculated, Croatia will take advantage.

Therefore, Croatia obviously lost to the weakest opponent in the group, which was equivalent to an upset, but it ranked first in the group.

If you look at the total points scored and the total points lost, Croatia is actually -7 points, and the points lost are more than the points scored.

On the other hand, Spain scored 75 points more than lost points, but it can only rank second.

If Spain ranks first, it must be quite difficult for the Chinese team to play against Spain.

Spain reached a peak in the 2008 Olympic Games. At that time, it was a pity that China was reversed by Spain at home.

In the end, Spain also reached the final, fighting against the US team with Kobe and James, forcing the US team to give it their all.

Now that Spain has passed its heyday, Gasol Jr. has not participated, and his strength is not as good as before.

But this team has rich experience, proficient system, and rigorous tactics. The Chinese team is really difficult to play.

And Croatia can even lose to Nigeria, and also lost 14 points, which shows that this team is not stable enough.

They were able to get the first place in the group purely because the ranking rules are rather cheating.

However, there is a lot of uncertainty in a game that determines the outcome.

The bigger advantage is that the Chinese team and the Australian team are divided into one and a half areas.

The US team is in the other half.

Australia's opponent in the quarterfinals is Lithuania.

There is a high probability that Lithuania will not be able to beat Australia.

Australia, on the other hand, can't beat China, or Li Liang.

Things got interesting.

For a while, everyone believed that this was a good opportunity for the Chinese team to go straight to the final!

Some people also think that the knockout round is different from the group stage, and the Chinese team may still be in the top eight.

And the answer will be revealed on the game day of August 18.

To this day, the Chinese delegation has won 19 gold medals, 15 silver medals and 20 bronze medals in the Olympic Games.

There is only one medal in basketball, but it is definitely heavy.

After three days of rest, the Chinese team and the Croatian team fought.

This is a very tortuous game.

The Chinese team's traditional art skills are 14 points behind in the opening game, and they must fall behind by 0:14.

I can't get a point by myself.

In the first quarter, without catching up, Croatia's defense against Li Liang was quite successful.

In the second quarter, the state of the Chinese team was still relatively poor, and the point difference was once stretched to 20 points.

A 20-point difference is very difficult in the Olympics.

Just when people thought that the Chinese team was about to stop in the quarterfinals, Li Liang led the Chinese team to set off a counterattack frenzy in the third quarter.

Li Liang regained his sense of offense, using his strong body to keep getting inside, making layups and making quick stop jump shots.

The difference was gradually narrowed.

In the fourth quarter, Li Liang assisted Yi Jianlian to hit a three-pointer, and the score was tied!

With 4 minutes left before the end of the game, the Chinese team evened the 20-point difference.

After that, the two sides launched a tough tug-of-war.

You score, so do I.

You don't score, and neither do I.

Fighting until 81:82, the Chinese team was still 1 point behind.

Croatian teenager Hezonia caused a foul by Zhou Peng in the attack.

Get to the free throw line and hit two free throws to make Croatia invincible.

The end of the game is only the last 3 seconds.

As a result, Hezonia missed two free throws!

Li Liang grabbed the rebound and immediately called a timeout.

The last 2 seconds of the Chinese team.

Gong Luming's nervous hands were shaking, and he couldn't draw the tactical board clearly.

This is likely to be the moment of the Chinese team's historic breakthrough.

The timeout of the Chinese team ended, and Croatia called a timeout.

The two sides battled wits and courage for two seconds for ten minutes.

Finally, the throw-in!

Gong Luming arranged for Zhou Qi to serve for the first time.

After Croatia called a timeout, they rearranged and let Yi Jianlian serve instead.

Zhou Qi covered Li Liang, and Yi Jianlian threw a high throw to Li Liang who was on the bottom line.

Li Liang catches the ball and turns around and shoots back!

【Dave Debusschell's Lucky Hand! 】

Lucky hands finally made their move.

The lucky hand never misses.

Hit!

Li Liang made this lore goal that changed the history of Chinese basketball!

The Chinese team beat Croatia 83:82 with 1 point, making it to the semi-finals in a historic way!

Li Liang scored 27 points in this game and made a golden lore.

After the game, Li Liang was overwhelmed by his teammates.

The scene was overwhelmed by red flags.

...

Two days later, on the 20th, the opponent of the Chinese team in the semi-finals was indeed Australia.

They easily beat Lithuania in the quarter-finals and played against China for the third time in a month.

The Chinese team played Australia, or Li Liang played Australia with confidence!

Li Liang is the least afraid of a big and strong team like Australia.

Head-to-head, who is afraid of whom?

As a result, in this game, the Chinese team played their best performance since the Olympics.

The defense suppressed Australia and only scored 67 points in one game played by Australia.

With an advantage of 80:67 and 13 points, the Chinese team defeated Australia in the semi-finals and entered the Olympic finals with a record!

Li Liang now has a good face, and he can be on the news broadcast again!

Although we know that the final is a game that must be lost, the romance of the Chinese is to brave the gunfire that must die, to reach a place that has never been reached in the past, and leave a monument for future generations.

Although the game on August 22 has not yet been played, in Li Liang's heart, the Chinese team has already won!

The U.S. team is also very pitiful. They took the lead at halftime, but Li Liang said they had already won.

This game hasn't been played yet, and the mother won again.

Li Liang's ability to win with empty-mouth loans is really terrifying.

And on August 22, China is on summer vacation.

Due to the time difference, Beijing time for the game is early in the morning.

But this did not affect the audience's huge enthusiasm for watching the game at all.

Many people who don't usually watch basketball watch the game in front of the TV without sleeping in the middle of the night.

In the bar, it is rare to play a basketball game in the early hours of the morning.

The last time such a grand occasion dates back to the 2002 China Football World Cup qualifying.

Football World Cup qualifying has this kind of treatment, basketball has to reach the Olympic finals.

Before the game started, Li Liang meditated again, but he couldn't calm down no matter what.

He also seemed to be bearish about the outcome of the final.

If they can get to this point, they really have won.

This time, he was serious.

"Forget it, let you win the championship once. It's not easy to gather so many people."
