Chapter 756 The biggest upset
To say that the one who has the most confidence in this game has to be An Luo.He said frankly to the reporters after the match with the Argentine men's basketball team: "Actually, I have never lacked confidence in the game. We have a good enough coaching team, good enough players, and enough enthusiastic fans. All of us If people work together and unite as one, they will definitely be able to go further!"

Compared with An Luo's straightforwardness, Yi Jianlian is much more subtle.

"The Spanish men's basketball team is a strong opponent. It is not an easy thing to beat them, but we will not give up. We had that opportunity 11 years ago, but unfortunately, we still failed in the end. But , this opportunity has once again come to us. My teammates and I will definitely do our best to do better. Making history is a proud thing, and it is also the common dream of our generation of players. I I hope I can get what I want before my career is over."

The World Cup matches are very tightly arranged, with very little rest time between matches.After the second round of the group stage, the first round of the World Cup knockout round officially started. On September 9, the first four teams to advance to the quarterfinals started the eight-to-four competition.At this stage, only the Dongguan and Shanghai competition areas are still in competition.Of course, there is also the BJ competition area.The final of this World Cup will be held at BJ Wukesong Stadium, but that is a few days later.

The first matchup was between the Argentine men's basketball team and the Serbian men's basketball team.Like the match between the Chinese men's basketball team and the Spanish men's basketball team, this is another game that everyone regards as one-sided.The performance of the Serbian men's basketball team in international competitions in recent years is really too strong!Almost no one is optimistic about the Argentine men's basketball team.Even in the last game of the group stage, the Serbian men's basketball team lost to the Spanish men's basketball team, and everyone did not underestimate the Serbian men's basketball team because of this loss.Just like they didn't think more about them because the Argentine men's basketball team defeated the Chinese men's basketball team.After all, games that have nothing to do with winning or losing don't have much reference value.

Serbia is really strong!From the perspective of paper strength, the Serbian men's basketball team has an overwhelming advantage in the interior.As long as they use the space reasonably and hand the ball to Jokic, the Argentine team has basically no way to stop it except for fouls, and they will even continue to send 2+1.Taking advantage of this point, Serbia will be invincible.

But the result of the game surprised everyone.The Argentine men's basketball team defeated the Serbian men's basketball team with almost fantastic team basketball, directly crushing the latter's ambitions.The Serbs thought the problem too simply. They always looked for the high point of the inside very roughly, ignoring the connection between the inside and outside, and finally fell into the encirclement of Argentine players.

After the game started, Argentina's flexible counterattack and Serbia's offense at the basket played very well.After the game was deadlocked for a quarter and a half, the Argentine's outside line suddenly broke out and scored 6 three-pointers one after another. Even though the Serbs responded with three three-pointers at the end and performed very well, they were still 5 points behind the Argentine men's basketball team. End the first half.

In the second half, the two sides came and went, and the game situation continued to be stalemate.Although Serbia was behind most of the time, they once overtook the score in the fourth quarter.But at this time, the head coach of the Argentine men's basketball team decisively called a timeout to adjust the team's offensive and defensive tactics.After returning from the timeout, under the leadership of Campazzo, the Argentine players played a wave of 20:6 offensive, directly opening the point difference to double digits.Subsequently, the Serbian men's basketball team fought back tenaciously, but the Argentines stabilized their advantage under the control of Campazzo and Scola. In the end, they defeated the Serbian men's basketball team with a score of 97:87 and advanced to the semi-finals of the World Cup.

After this game, countless media and fans were dumbfounded and speechless.This is definitely the biggest upset that has erupted since the start of the World Cup.Serbia, as the first favorite to win the World Cup, played a terrifying dominance in the group stage. Although they unexpectedly lost to Spain in the second stage, Teacher Yue was sent off early in that game, and Serbia also Didn't try my best in that game.This Serbia team, led by NBA stars such as Teacher Yue, Bogdanovic, Belica, etc., must be overall, deep and deep, and its internal strength is extremely strong. At the same time, it also has Bogdanovic on the outside. Mr. Key, who would have thought that they would stop in the quarterfinals like this.

In this fierce confrontation, Scola turned into an offensive killer, and repeatedly stepped forward at critical moments.He played 31 minutes, shot 13 of 7, made 5 of 2 three-pointers, and made 5 of 4 free throws. He scored 20 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 1 block. He can be called the absolute mainstay of Argentina's insiders.

Scola's performance can be called the "core", but this night, the person who performed the best was not him.Campazzo is the most stalwart man on the court.He dominated the game with his incredible individual play.As the shortest player in the game, Campazzo, who is only 179 cm tall, shows his magic all the time.Pass coquettishly behind the basket teammates from outside the three-point line, accurately hit the ground to assist teammates, and step back three-pointers after the duel, the ultimate match-up and disassembly.In the whole game, Campazzo played 30 minutes, 12 of 7 shots, 6 of 3 three-pointers, 3 of 1 free throws, 18 points, 12 assists, 6 rebounds and 3 steals.The No. [-] defender in the World Cup, judging from Campazzo's performance tonight, he deserves it.

Under the leadership of these two players, the Argentine men's basketball team played an amazing game. Facing Serbia, which is far stronger than itself on paper, when people all over the world are not optimistic about Argentina's victory, the Argentine players Believe they can do it.

After the game, Scola said to the reporter who interviewed him with satisfaction: "I don't agree with those opinions of the outside world at all, because we know how good our team is, and we always believe that we can beat any opponent."

The defeat of the Serbian men's basketball team was largely due to their own arrogance.Whether inside or outside, they have decisive stars.However, their perimeter players were clearly not ready for this game.Perhaps, they simply think that they only need to rely on the huge advantage of the inside to crush their opponents.The Serbian players have long set their sights on the US men's basketball team.But now they have no way to meet the US men's basketball team.
