Men's Basketball Team Advancement

"Good shot! It's beautiful! This can enter the top five highlights of this game! 60 to 55, they now have a five-point lead!"

The voice of the narrator can no longer conceal the cheers of the fans. Coach Yunas on the sidelines once again raised his arms. This game has been won.

The big screen on the scene began to playback the layup just now, which was not only beautiful but also extremely difficult. This action of jumping from one side of the basket and countering the basket on the other side requires excellent bounce ability. If the bounce is insufficient, they will land before the other side.

At the same time, Zhang Guan also faced Nowitzki's defense. You must know that Nowitzki just won the NBA regular season MVP last year. He is now at his peak. As a guard, being able to score a layup under Nowitzki's defense is extremely difficult.

"I was shocked. Nowitzki tightly guarded that I thought the ball was going to be lost! I didn't expect it to be scored."

"This basket can be scored! This basket is too difficult!"

"From the hoop to the hoop, I thought Zhang Guan was about to fly!"

"This goal is too critical. The winning basket is the winning basket. If the basket is scored by Zhang Guan, then the next time the German team will have to adopt foul tactics regardless of whether it scores or not!"

"Subbing Zhang Guan in is the key! The previous game against the Spanish team was like this, it was relying on the final breakthrough of the crown!"

"Zhang Guan's breakthrough is too sharp, this breakthrough is the world's top!"

"There is the Flash Wade in the United States, and we also have the Flash in China. That is Zhang Guan!"

The fans voiced praise, this ball is indeed too crucial for the Chinese team, Zhang Guan's layup is destined to be remembered by fans for a long time.

Nowitzki looked helpless at this moment. With twenty seconds left before the end of the game, the five-point difference was almost impossible to pull back. And during the most crucial point, the Zhang Guan scored against Nowitzki's defense, so Nowitzki couldn't find any excuses to cover up his mistakes.

The head coach of the German team Stowe immediately called a timeout. He must arrange the next offensive tactics and the next foul tactics when the Chinese team has the ball.

...

Coach Yunas glanced at everyone, and he said, "You did a great job, but now is not the time to celebrate, the game is not over! Next, we need more focused defense. I would rather let them score two points, then three points. And don't foul!"

Yunas finished speaking, looked at Zhang Guan, and then said, "Zhang Guan, the German team must use foul tactics after playing this ball, I will have to sub you out!"

Zhang Guan nodded and agreed, without learning shooting skills, free throws are indeed what Zhang Guan is not good at.

"When I enter the knockout rounds, my playing time will increase significantly. It may be necessary to learn free throw skills at that time. But there are too many things to buy in basketball..." Zhang Guan entered the system and inquired about the remaining skill points.

"It seems that there are not many skill points. I have to buy a status potion. Save it first. These days, I will brush a few more Olympic championships and break a few more Olympic records, and I will have more skill points!"

...

The game restarted, and Zhang Guan had been replaced.

The narrator immediately noticed this, and he immediately said, "Zhang Guan was replaced? I remember that the match between the Chinese team and the Spanish team seemed to be the same. Zhang Guan played at the last moment and left before the end of the game. Why is Coach Yunas making such arrangements?"

"I think Yunas must protect Zhang Guan." Director Zhang continued to talk, "In today's game, Zhang Guan once again scored a key winning basket, especially his second layup. We all know that as a defender if you frequently attack the basket, there will be more physical contact, so he will be more likely to be injured. Zhang Guan will also participate in track and field and tennis matches, so he should have some protective measures with him."

"It turned out to be like this." The commentator said suddenly. The two did not realize that Zhang Guan did not know how to make free-throws, so he was replaced at the end.

The game continued. Faced with a five-point difference, the German team did not choose to score a two-pointer first but instead made a three-pointer. But this time the German team didn't have that good luck. After failing to make a shot, Yao caught this crucial rebound. The German team had to foul Yao and sent him to the free-throw line.

Yao made two free throws and the score became 61 to 55. At this time, there were only 8.3 seconds left in the game, and the German team could only continue to shoot three points.

The ball still did not score, the Chinese team grabbed the rebound again, and this time, the German team did not foul again, they chose to give up the game.

The Chinese team defeated the German team 61-55. The record of three wins has ensured that the Chinese team succeeded in reaching the quarterfinals. This is also the third time China has entered the quarterfinals after the two Olympic Games in 1996 and 2004.

The German team with one win and three losses has already been eliminated. Even if they can create a miraculous victory over the United States in the next game and achieve a record of two wins and three losses, the German team lost to Spain and Greece before that. Therefore, the German team will still be ranked fifth in terms of the outcome of the competition.

In the other games of Group B held on the same day, the Greek team defeated Angola without any suspense, and their current record is two wins and two losses; Spain lost to the United States team, the record is also two wins and two losses. Since Spain defeated Greece in the group stage, Spain must rank ahead of Greece.

With the end of the day of the game, the qualifying places for Group B have also been determined. Among them, the U.S. team won the first place in the group in four games; the Chinese team ranked second in the group due to their excellent record of three wins and one loss. This is what no one expected before the game; Spain ranked third with two wins and two losses. Their next opponent is Angola. Spain will win; and the fourth is also two wins and two losses. The Greek team. The four teams have successfully qualified, and the German and Angola teams have been eliminated.

The opponent of the Chinese men's basketball team in the next game is the Greek team. If the Chinese men's basketball team can defeat the Greek team, they can ensure the second place in the group, and Greece will continue to be ranked fourth; and if the Chinese team loses the game, the Chinese team, Spain and Greece will all have three wins and two losses, and the relationship between each other's wins and losses is still circular. You can only compare the scores to determine the final ranking. Once it comes to compare the scores, the Chinese team is not dominant, and it is likely to fall to the fourth position.

...

The men's basketball team is still celebrating winning the group qualifying, but Zhang Guan has no chance to participate. He has left early, and he has to rush to the Bird's Nest to participate in track and field events.

Tonight, Zhang Guan will participate in the semifinals and finals of the men's 100-meter dash, as well as the qualifying competition for the long jump. The final of the men's 100m event is also Zhang Guan's first final in this Olympic Games. Zhang Guan is about to usher in his first Olympic gold medal in 2008.
