After the group stage, there is a day's rest time in the middle.

On this day, Sun Hao invited Beckham and the Raul to have a meal together to thank them for coming to the scene that day to watch themselves play basketball.

During the meal, Raul and Sun Hao told him that he would go to China with Real Madrid to do publicity next summer, and asked him some things to pay attention to.

"Sign more autographs and take photos to the fans, and their enthusiasm will be beyond your imagination."

Sun Hao also told the truth.

Raul has both excellent personal image, especially Real Madrid formed the "Galaxy Battleship" last year, which is also very popular in the country.

Fans are very enthusiastic about such high-quality idols.

After dinner, Sun Hao called Gu Yi and asked him to communicate with Adid to see if he could hold a promotional event next summer.

Football and basketball are actually linked.

Just like the report "Chinese defender scored a goal" at the beginning, letting fans know Sun Hao while deepening their understanding of Real Madrid.

If Adidas do a promotional event for Raulga Sun Hao when they are traveling to China, it will be a good thing to increase their influence, whether it is for Adidas or both of them.

It's like making two pieces of cake together, although it may not blend perfectly, the cake will definitely get bigger.

Here, Sun Hao and Raul had just finished their meal, and someone came to see him play basketball.

"Lukaluka!"

"godfather!"

When Sun Hao saw Xiao Doncic coming over, he picked him up.

Little Doncic is over 5 years old and looks chubby.

But what is different from Gasol is that it is not fat, it is just a little baby fat.

"He likes basketball very much, and I think starting next year, I will let him go to Los Angeles to train with you in the summer."

Shasa is really fast to get information, and this is what he already knows that he has been traded to the Lakers.

But at the age of 6, Doncic can indeed start basketball training.

Unlike Curry, Durant and others, this is really his godson.

And the earlier you start training, the higher the upper limit will be.

In addition, Doncic is young, so if he fades out of the league, Doncic comes to take over.

Well, it's a perfect father-son basketball.

...

The next night, the quarterfinals between the Chinese and Greek teams were scheduled to be held at prime time at 7:30.

The attendance rate was still overwhelming.

However, unlike the Chinese team's previous match against the US team, the Chinese team has no so-called second home game in the host this time.

The big-headed KT boards that can be seen on the scene are also very limited.

During the warm-up before the game, Sun Hao looked at the opposite side.

There are actually not many people familiar with this Greek team.

Speaking of Greek men's basketball, most fans' first impression must be "European Kobe" and "kill Bill" Spanoris.

This Greek basketball President Shan won the Champions League championship three times in his career and was elected as the Champions League MVP. He is another "European Emperor".

Of course, that was in the future. Now he is only 22 years old, which is considered a fledgling cottage.

The second impression of fans is the Greek "little shark".

The full name of the little shark is Sophocles Skolzanitis.

Well, it's basically difficult for you to remember and distinguish Greek names.

And there is also a small record, which is the longest selected name in NBA history.

It was this little shark who suppressed Howard and Bosh's inside line in the 2006 World Championships and helped the Greek team defeat Dream Seven.

But now the little sharks are only 19 years old and have not even entered the national team.

In addition, the other familiar one should be Jack Chakalidis.

Old fans may have some impression of him. During the 2006-07 season, he was also one of the towel men on the Houston team's bench.

But at that time he had no chance in the NBA.

To be honest, he was the 2000th first-round pick in the NBA in the same year as Sun Hao, and was selected by the Suns with the 25th pick.

In the first four years of his career, he also played the main rotation and his strength was quite good.

But in fact, the current star of this Greek team is neither Spanoris nor Chakalidis, but Papalucas.

Greece defeated the United States in the 2006 World Championships and made three popular players, Spanoris, the little Shark, and Papalucas.

Known as "the strongest organizational guard outside the NBA", he gave 12 assists in that game!

In the fiba game, it was a World Championship semi-final to send 12 assists, which can be understood from a simple number.

In addition to them, there is another person who is not very familiar with Sun Hao, but also worthy of attention is Dimitris Diamantis.

Diamantis is nicknamed "Octopus" and "3D". He is 1.96 meters tall, but his arm span is terrifying 2.16 meters!

As can be seen from his nickname, this is a player who is extremely good at defense and three-pointers, and he won the best defensive player in the Champions League in 6 degrees in history.

He will also be Sun Hao's number one defender tonight.

Of course, that is not his full ability. His assist ability is also very strong, from the organizational guard to the small forward.

The Greek team does not lack talent and strength, but only experience.

After the warm-up, both starters appeared one after another.

On the Chinese team, Harris made adjustments to the starting lineup.

Hu Weidong is old after all, and his body reacts a little after the group stage.

Harris was also bold in using people and directly put young player Zhu Fangyu into the starting lineup.

In this way, the Chinese team is Sun Hao, Li Nan, Zhu Fangyu, Yi Jianlian and Yao Ming.

For Sun Hao, the familiarity of this lineup has become more and more common.

In the 2008 Olympic Games, known as the strongest men's basketball team in history, everyone is there except Sun Hao's starter.

On the Greek side, Papalucas, Spanoris, Diamantis, Chakalidis and the toolman center.

The familiar chest-beating and punching fists were yelling, but this time the Greek fans were yelling for their home team.

Although the Chinese team performed well in the group stage, Sun Hao was also there.

But after all, the Chinese team is not a traditional strong team, and the record in the history of the Olympics is also very bad, and the Greek team has a chance to fight.

Yi Jianlian jumped high and pushed the ball back to the Chinese team's half. Sun Hao pushed the ball into the frontcourt and directly reached out to greet Yi Jianlian out of the pick-and-roll.

The Greek team replaced defense, and Sun Hao faced Chakalidis and swayed directly and took a three-pointer from a long distance.

"Swish!"

Sun Hao changed his style of playing in the group stage and attacked at the beginning, and there was one after attacking!

In fact, except for the stalemate in Spain, he scored 31 points in the group stage, and he kept playing at the other time.

Now that it is the knockout stage, there is no need to stop it anymore.

Taking the initiative to attack and forcing the Greek team to adjust their defense is obviously more beneficial to the Chinese team.

The Greek team played to the frontcourt and held high.

Like Yugoslavia, which the Chinese team has played in the World Championships, the Greek team has a very high average height.

Papalucas broke through Li Nan with the ball and passed the ball to Diamantis.

The latter three-pointer was interfered by Yi Jianlian, who was replaced and went out of the basket.

Defense depends on ability and enthusiasm. The Chinese team has high strength in the group stage, and it has just started again, and the defense is the highest.

Sun Hao continued to look for Yi Jianlian in the frontcourt, but Diamantis did not change this time.

Sun Hao grabbed the pick-and-roll and made a three-pointer, but he underestimated Diamantis' wingspan.

The "octopus" stretched out his claws to interfere with Sun Hao. Sun Hao's shot Mamba possessed him and smashed the frame out.

but!

Yao Ming stuck his opponent at the basket, grabbed the offensive rebound with his hand, and leaned on the opponent with a small hook shot.

5 to 0!

Although this time it was a away game, the Chinese team was not ready to give the Greek team a chance!

Papalucas continued to break through Li Nan, and Li Nan couldn't help it.

However, Yi Jianlian's assisting defense was quick, and Papalucas passed the ball again.
