The opening three-pointer in basketball

The opening ceremony of the Olympic Games is just the beginning. It is a program to introduce the host country.

For Bai Yi, it was actually very boring.

After all, he has no interest in learning about Daying's history and culture.

For Bai Yi, the more important thing is the grouping situation of the Olympic men's basketball team.

After the opening ceremony, the results came out. The top 12 Olympic men's basketball teams were divided into two groups: AB.

The teams in Group A are the Eagles, Russia, China, and the Spanish Ducks, Australia, and Brazil.

The teams in Group B are Beautiful Country, France, Tunisia, Argentina, Litao Bowl, and Greece.

Among them, Tao Bowl, Greece, and Russia are all losing teams.

Although Group A does not have a super team like Beautiful Country, its overall strength is stronger than Group B.

Before Baiyi, Australia, Spain, Russia, and Brazil were all considered to be the top ten teams in the world.

Even the Eagles, in preparation for the Olympics, have planned two NBA players, namely Ben Gordon and Luol Deng.

It can be said that it is more difficult to break out in Group A.

In Group B, the beautiful country, France, and Li Tao Bowl are relatively strong.

The strength of the other three teams is relatively average. Argentina used to be a top-notch team, but its strength has declined rapidly in recent years.

Tunisia and Greece are teams that deliver food.

Even if there is no Baiyi, the Chinese team will not have no chance against Tunisia and Greece.

After the roster has been determined, the domestic side is generally quite optimistic. After all, it is a tournament that advances from 12 to 8.

The Chinese team just defeated the Australian team in a friendly match.

Most fans hope to defeat the Australian team in the game and for the Eagles to advance to the quarterfinals.

Eagles basketball is actually very bad. Before the Olympics, they didn't even have a decent professional league in China.

The so-called professional league venue turned out to be a community indoor basketball court, which could not accommodate a thousand spectators.

Everyone still believes that the Chinese team with Bai Yi can easily defeat the Eagles.

Huaxia fans are basically satisfied with this grouping result, while the local fans and media in Daying feel that they have been fooled by the Olympic organizing committee.

Although the Eagles have never played against the Chinese team, they have competed with the Australian team more than a dozen times and have never won, and basically every time they lost miserably.

This time I encounter the Chinese team, I'm afraid it will be a disaster.

Spanish ducks, let alone Russia.

Eagles fans believe that if they meet Tunisia and Greece, they may be able to win.

So Eagle fans were a little angry and felt that they had been fooled by the Olympic organizing committee.

Regarding this result, most of the stars of the beautiful country were indifferent. Only Durant wrote on Twitter, I was looking forward to being in a group with Bai Yi, but the result disappointed me.

Bai Yi naturally doesn't care what Durant thinks.

He was not in the mood to pay attention to Durant. After knowing the group assignment results, Bai Yi began to check the information of other teams in Group A.

Just as the fans predicted, Bai Yi also feels that if it is just a breakout in the group stage, it will not be very difficult.

After all, there are big eagles and Australia.

The Eagles are indeed too weak, they put almost all their energy and resources into football.

The Eagles have six levels of football competitions. Not to mention the Premier League and League One, even League Two is more popular than the Chinese Super League.

Even Crouch, who is two meters tall, actually plays football.

It can be imagined that most of Daying's sports talents choose football, followed by tennis and cricket. After these three sports, basketball, cycling, diving and other small sports compete for talents.

It can be said that only football, cricket, and tennis can be considered popular sports in Daying, and other sports are unpopular sports.

Including basketball.

Under such circumstances, Eagle Basketball simply cannot attract enough investment.

So their professional league venue is actually a community basketball gym, which is not as good as a university gymnasium.

In other words, Ben Gordon and Luol Deng were planned before the start of the Olympics. Otherwise, the Eagles would definitely be beaten by the innocent Chinese team.

Now that Bai Yi has joined the Chinese team, he is naturally not afraid of Luol Deng and Ben Gordon.

The most famous thing about the Australian team is their back line that beats Asia.

Ingles, Dellavedova, Mills, and Walton are all excellent defenders.

But Bai Yi is not afraid of them.

Therefore, after the friendly match, Bai Yi felt that there was no need to worry about the Australian team.

Defeat two opponents and you will be sure to enter the top eight.

But if you want to go further, you naturally have to strive for a better ranking.

After all, the first place in Group B will most likely be the beautiful Chinese team. If you are fourth in Group A, won’t you face the beautiful Chinese team in the first round of the knockout round?

Even though Bai Yi was very confident in himself, he didn't want to meet the beautiful national team at the beginning.

Isn’t it good to meet in the final round?

By then the rest of the Huaxia team will be more mature and their cooperation will be more tacit.

Wouldn't they have a greater chance of winning?

Therefore, the Chinese team not only strives to defeat the Eagles and Australia, but also strives to defeat Spain, Russia, and Brazil.

Among these three teams, the weakest is actually Russia.

This Russian team did not break out of the Olympic qualifying rounds at first, they were the losing team.

The Russian men's basketball team has two NBA players, namely Kirilenko and Mozgov.

Kirilenko is a power forward. He was the Jazz's ace player in his early years, but now he is older and has significantly declined.

As for Mozgov, although he has also landed in the NBA, as a center, his footsteps are too slow.

He never really established himself in the NBA.

Now he is wandering around and is a water cooler player.

The other players are playing in the Russian domestic league.

Taken together, Russia is not as powerful as Brazil and Spain.

Then there is Brazil. Brazil has three NBA players, Nene, Varejao, and Babos.

Among them, Nene and Varejao are inside players.

Babers is an outside player.

It can be said that there are strong points both inside and outside.

This is why Brazil dominates South America.

Finally, there is Spain. Spain is undoubtedly the strongest team in Group A.

Many media believe that this time the Olympics will end with two teams, Spain and the United States, competing for the championship.

The Gasol brothers, Rubio, and Ibaka are four NBA players.

The Gasol brothers and Ibaka are both main players.

If Rubio goes to a weak NBA team, he will be a regular starter.

Navarro is the La Liga MVP, the top scorer in the Champions League, and the top scorer in the European Cup. His three-point shooting percentage is 41%, which is a killer.

With such a lineup, except for the beautiful country, other countries are quite miserable.

Bai Yi recorded the characteristics of these five opponents one by one. After careful consideration, he found that the Olympic Organizing Committee still took good care of them.

In the five games, they played the Eagles at the beginning and the Spanish Ducks at the end, which gave many Chinese teams some buffering time.
