Chapter 1386 Tang Tian: The Future Is Yours 2.0

The Sino-Japanese war is over, and the two top four teams are also determined first, Slovenia and the Chinese team.

The two teams will also take the lead in the semi-finals one day later in the afternoon.

The remaining four teams played the remaining two quarter-finals on the second day.

The game between Greece and Serbia took the lead in the afternoon.

The Greek team's performance in the World Cup last year was mediocre, and they reached the quarter-finals this year. Naturally, they hope to go further, especially against their old European rival Serbia.

The same is true for the Serbia team. They were eliminated from the Rio Olympic group and stopped in the quarter-finals of the World Cup. Their golden generation urgently needs to prove themselves.

As soon as the two teams started playing, the level of competition was quite intense.

However, as the game progressed, it was obvious that the overall strength of the Serbian team was stronger than that of the Greek team.

Antetokounmpo has also improved his shots, but his teammates have limited help. On the Serbian team, Bogdan and Boban around Jokic have given enough firepower.

In the end, the Serbian team defeated the Greek team 83 to 67 and became the third team to reach the semi-finals.

The final four is between the United States and France.

This is a battle of revenge, and the evening game also attracted a considerable number of spectators to watch the game.

A very ironic thing is that less than 40% of the Japanese audience attended the Sino-Japanese War, but more than 80% of the Japanese audience attended this game!

Although the previous attendance rate was due to the fact that Chinese fans spent money to buy tickets, such a comparison and contrast still caused public opinion in Japan.

But the pressure of public opinion belongs to the pressure of public opinion, and the ball that should be watched will still be watched.

With the cheers and even fanatical support of the Japanese fans, the American men's basketball team did not give the French men's basketball team even a chance.

They beat the Frenchman by 30+ points in three quarters, and they made persistent efforts in the last quarter, knocking down the Frenchman who had already collapsed by 50 points, and sparked conflicts on the court.

However, just like the principle that if you fall behind, you have to stand at attention and be beaten, the French really have no temper at all when they lose.

All 12 members of the US team played and scored. Durant and Leonard scored 16 and 14 points respectively.

The U.S. team became the last team to advance to the semi-finals without any suspense, and the remaining semi-final matchups will also be released.

USA and Serbia.

In the World Cup a year ago, the Serbian team ranked second only to the US team in terms of strength. At that time, they wanted to fight the US team.

It's a pity that they lost to Argentina in the quarter-finals, and now this opportunity has finally come.

Like the idea of ​​the French team, as a European team, the US team has always been the goal they want to challenge and overcome.

Especially seeing the rapid rise of the Chinese men's basketball team.

It is worth mentioning that two of the top four teams in this Olympic Games originated from Yugoslavia, a basketball powerhouse before the disintegration.

After the disintegration of Yugoslavia into five countries, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Macedonia, Serbia and Montenegro.

Serbia and Montenegro then disintegrated into Montenegro and Serbia.

This has to make people feel emotional. In the end of the basketball game, it is still the struggle between the Americans and the Yugoslavs, but the Chinese have risen from it.

The opponents of the semi-finals were all determined, and the game officially started the next day.

At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, the match between China and Slovenia started first.

The huge arena is more exaggerated than the quarter-finals, and nearly 80% of them are Chinese fans.

This is really to make Tokyo their own home.

Trying to warm up before the game, Doncic looked a little helpless when he saw this scene, and he also felt Harden's mood in Houston.

Fortunately, he adjusted his mentality very quickly. Anyway, this is not the home of the Yugoslavs, and he is also ready to play away.

But even so, he was shocked by the Chinese fans cheering in unison during the appearance ceremony.

It is not unreasonable that the Japanese team in the same group defeated the Chinese team by so many points.

After the appearance ceremony, the starters of the two teams were released one after another.

For the Slovenian team, Dragic and Doncic on the outside, Bradic and Wiedmar on the striker, and Anthony Randolph, the center planning player.

For the Chinese team, Tang Tian and Ding Yanyuhang are on the outside, Abdul Saramu and Yi Jianlian are on the front line, and Lin Yi is the center.

Yi Jianlian made his debut again, which naturally broke the previous injury rumors.

The game started very quickly, and just after the start, the Slovenian team felt great pressure.

This pressure naturally came from Tang Tian.

It was completely different from the last game against the Japanese team. Tang Tian was playing point guard, but it was Doncic on the defensive end.

In addition, Dragic and Tang Tian of the Slovenian team are not in the same position, and Tang Tian is also defended by Doncic.

As a result, Tang Tian directly matched Dongcic's offense and defense.

Doncic is not Rui Hachimura, it's not that he hasn't played against Tang Tian before, and after a few rounds of fighting, after confirming that Tang Tian's state has recovered, he knows that the Slovenian men's basketball team has no chance tonight.

Although he is different from Rui Hachimura, he is not good at attacking and helping the team in other ways, and he can even use the iconic step-back three-pointer to occasionally score.

But Tang Tian's oppressive defense still made his performance greatly reduced, not to mention that he couldn't restrain Tang Tian at all on the defensive end.

If it weren't for Dragic's outstanding performance in the first half, the Slovenian team might have collapsed in the first half.

However, in the second half, they still couldn't stand it in the end.

In the end, under the leadership of Tang Tian with 36 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks, the Chinese team defeated the Slovenian team 97-77.

After the Rio Olympics, they entered the Olympic finals for the second consecutive competition.

This is also the fourth team to achieve this achievement after the United States, the former Soviet Union, and Spain.

This is also the official symbol of the rise of Chinese basketball.

Doncic scored 19 points, 7 rebounds and 10 assists.

After the game, the Slovenian players walked towards the player channel one after another.

Only Doncic looked at the score on the big screen, his eyes were red, he gritted his teeth and refused to leave for a long time.

It was obvious that he really wanted to win.

At this moment, Tang Tian walked over to him.

He reached out and touched Doncic's head, and then spoke to comfort him.

"You've done enough."

Tang Tian spoke from his heart. If it weren't for Doncic, it would be impossible for the Slovenian men's basketball team to reach the semi-finals.

As another rising basketball star after Antetokounmpo, Doncic's future ceiling may not be lower than Antetokounmpo.

"Thank you."

Although Doncic is unwilling, he also knows that the ending cannot be changed.

As the world's number one basketball player, Tang Tian also showed his demeanor.

"Keep working hard, the future is yours."

Tang Tian touched Dongcic's head again as he spoke.
