The Chinese team made the African runner-up without much effort, which made the other strong teams in the world look sideways.

However, Group D is still the American Dream Seven team, who have won all three games so far, and all of them are big wins in the teens and twenties.

The Dream Team is the top contender for the championship, and the world's biggest teams, including Spain, Greece and Argentina, are all looking to figure out how to beat the mighty United States.

On August 23, the Chinese team faced Puerto Rico.

Puerto Rico is a North American country, belonging to the United States, which is considered an autonomous region of the United States, and after a war between Spain and the United States, Puerto Rico was ceded to the United States, so until now, it is still a mixed language of Spanish and English.

Three-quarters of the island's area is covered by mountains and hills, and it has a tropical rainforest climate with abundant rainfall.

In the history of the World Championships, the Puerto Rico men's basketball team has good results, a small country with only more than 3 million people, in 90 years, actually won the fourth place in the world, and in the last World Championships, the Puerto Rico men's basketball team was the seventh in the world, still better than the Chinese team.

But this time, the Chinese team has Yang Di, and Pingbai has added a world-class supergiant.

The overall strength of the Chinese team has surpassed that of Puerto Rico, and the Puerto Rico men's basketball team is either a center, a small forward and a guard, and the position of the big forward is broken, and there is no one to defend Yang Di in the national team.

The Chinese team and Puerto Rico tied at halftime, and Yang Di broke out in the third quarter, scoring 8 points in a row, leading the Chinese team to play a wave of 15-6 Xiaogao Dynasty, laying the foundation for the victory of the game.

In the end, the Chinese team defeated Puerto Rico 90-82, winning two consecutive group games.

At this time, the U.S. team won all 4 games and ranked first in the group, and the Chinese team ranked second in the group with 3 wins and 1 loss, and the Chinese team has already qualified.

The national fans cheered, such a big victory is rare for the Chinese team.

Every time you qualify, it is thrilling and unpredictable, and even sometimes, you have to look at the difference between the winners and the score when you have the same record.

At this time, the coaching staff of the Chinese team also reacted, avoiding the American team and defeating Slovenia in the last game is the height that must be reached at the strategic level.

August 24, the last race in Sapporo.

At this time, the group stage will be over, and the next matches will be held in Saitama, Japan, and the Saitama Super Arena will be the venue for the knockout round.

In the last round of Group D, the match between China and Slovenia was held at 12:30, just in the afternoon.

In this arrangement, after three games, there will be games in the stadium until the evening.

Slovenia is a European powerhouse, Slovenia is located in the south-central part of Europe, at the northwestern tip of the Balkan Peninsula. It is bordered by Italy to the west, Austria and Hungary to the north, Croatia to the east and south, and the Adriatic Sea to the southwest.

After the breakup of Yugoslavia, this was the first time that the Slovenian team participated in the World Championships.

In the '04 draft, Slovenian star Benno Udri was selected by the Spurs with the 28th pick, and in the Spurs, Yudri gradually rose to prominence as an important young player on the bench, and of course, he is also the current top player in the Slovenian national team.

NBA players like this can burst out with stronger energy when they get to the national team and on the international stage.

In the early years, many players on the bench in the NBA who couldn't play the ball were bombarded on the international stage, even if they met the dream team, they were bombarded and bombarded, and all kinds of convulsions were incomprehensible.

Slovenia have 1 win and 3 losses, and if they lose this game, they will completely lose their hopes of qualifying.

For them, this is already stepping on the edge of a cliff, a desperate situation within a desperate situation.

Yudri also had this meaning in the face of the Chinese team, hitting three consecutive points to help the Slovenian team always hang behind the score of the Chinese team.

It wasn't until the middle of the fourth quarter that Wang Shipeng hit two three-pointers in a row to establish an eight-point lead for the Chinese team, and Slovenia showed defeat.

Yudri was unwilling to shoot a three-pointer at the buzzer, and he scored 35 points in the game, and the outside projection was unsolvable, blowing up the Chinese team's outside line.

But Yang Di and Yao Ming teamed up to score another 55 points, and Yang Di grabbed 5 frontcourt rebounds alone.

Don't underestimate the five frontcourt rebounds, under the rules of FIBA, without defending for three seconds, it is difficult for Yang Di to go deep into the restricted area, and every frontcourt rebound, he has to spend more effort to get stuck and judge the landing point.

89-83, the Chinese team won 4-1, the best group score in history, and advanced to the knockout round.

On the same day, the United States defeated Senegal 103-58 by 45 points, winning all 5 games, ranking first in the group, and after all the round-robin matches, the corresponding knockout match table has been basically released.

According to the format, in the first half, Argentina vs. New Zealand, China vs. Lithuania, Turkey vs. Italy, and Spain vs. Serbia and Montenegro.

In the bottom half, Germany plays Nigeria, the United States plays Australia, France plays Angola and Greece plays Slovenia.

The good results achieved in the previous desperate work reflected the advantage, and the Chinese team could not meet the American team until the final.

Against Lithuania, which is Younas's parent team, before the game began, many media chased Younas and asked him if his coaching would be affected by the fact that Lithuania is his home country.

"Of course not, Lithuania and China are very good basketball teams."

"Over the years, Lithuania have been the best teams in Europe, they have a mature system and they are able to cope with all kinds of challenges. The Chinese team is a young team, and under the leadership of Yao Ming, the team has become the top team in Asia and a strong team at the world level. I am the head coach of the Chinese team, my goal is to help the Chinese team defeat any enemy, I sincerely hope that Lithuania can win, but reason will drive me to do the most professional coaching on the spot. ”

He is still angry with Yang Di, when it comes to the leader of the Chinese national team, he always only admits Yao Ming, Yang Di, he said on many occasions that it is the sharpest knife, and he is a super player of the Chinese team, but he is not a commander-in-chief player.

The group left Sapporo and arrived in Saitama, Japan on the morning of the 25th.

Two games will be held at the same time in the Super Arena in Saitama, and then four games will be played sequentially from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. on the 26th.
