The situation in group b is much more complicated than in group a.

Among the six teams in Group B, except for Brazil and Nigeria, one with 2 wins and 3 losses and the other with 1 wins and 4 losses were eliminated, the other four teams were 3 wins and 2 losses.

Croatia, Argentina, Lithuania and Spain advanced to the quarterfinals.

Among them, Croatia lost to Argentina, Argentina lost to Lithuania, Lithuania lost to Spain, and Spain lost to Croatia...

A perfect cycle, without an absolute strong man, restrains each other and connects to each other.

So how to sort becomes a complicated task.

Unlike football, it is counted as goal difference, and the number of goals scored is counted as goal difference.

The basketball group match is about calculating the winner and lose points between each other and ranking them in the end.

As a result, Croatia lost to Nigeria in one game, and Nigeria was eliminated. Without the calculation of the winning and losing points, Croatia took advantage.

Therefore, Croatia clearly lost to the weakest opponent in the group, which was equivalent to an upset, but therefore ranked first in the group.

If you look at the total score and total points lost, Croatia actually has -7 points, and the points lost are more than the points lost.

Spain, however, scored 75 points more than lost points, but it could only rank second.

If Spain ranks first, it will definitely be quite difficult for the Chinese team to play Spain.

Spain reached a peak in the 2008 Olympics, when China was very unfortunately reversed by Spain at home.

In the end, Spain also reached the final and fought with Team USA with Kobe and James, which forced the United States out of all its strength.

Now that Spain has passed its heyday, Gasol Jr. has not participated in the competition, and his strength is not as good as before.

But this team is experienced, skilled in the system and rigorous in tactics, and the Chinese team is really not easy to play.

Croatia can even lose, and even lose 14 points, which means that the team is not stable enough.

They were able to win the first place in the group purely because the ranking rules are quite tricky.

However, a game of winning or losing is already very uncertain.

The bigger advantage is that the Chinese team and the Australian team are separated into one and a half zones.

Team USA is in the other half of the zone.

The opponent in the quarterfinals of Australia is Lithuania.

Lithuania is likely to be unable to beat Australia.

Australia cannot beat China or Li Liang.

The situation became very interesting.

For a time, everyone thought that this was a good opportunity for the Chinese team to go straight to the finals!

Some people also believe that the knockout stage and the group stage are different, and the Chinese team may still be in the quarterfinals.

The answer is also announced on August 18th.

By this day, the Chinese delegation had won 19 gold medals, 15 silver medals and 20 bronze medals in the Olympics.

There is only one medal in the basketball event, but it is definitely heavy.

After three days of rest, the Chinese team and Croatia battled.

This is a very tortuous game.

The Chinese team's traditional performance is 14 points behind the start and must be 0:14.

You can't get a point for yourself.

In the first quarter, Croatia's defense against Li Liang was quite successful.

In the second quarter, the Chinese team was in a relatively bad shape, and the score difference was once widened to 20 points.

The 20-point difference is very difficult in the Olympics.

Just when people thought that the Chinese team was about to stop in the quarterfinals again, Li Liang led the Chinese team to launch a counterattack in the third quarter.

Li Liang regained his offensive feeling and used his strong body to keep breaking into the inside, laying down, and jumping on the emergency stop.

The score difference is slowly narrowing.

In the fourth quarter, Li Liang assisted Yi Jianlian to hit a three-pointer, and the score was tied!

With 4 minutes left before the end of the game, the Chinese team cleared the score difference of 20 points.

After that, the two sides started a arduous tug-of-war.

You score, and I score too.

You don't get points, and I don't get points either.

The Chinese team was still 1 point behind until 81:82.

Croatian young player Hezonia caused Zhou Peng to foul during the attack.

He went to the free throw line and made both free throws Croatia was invincible.

The game ends only in the last 3 seconds.

As a result, Hezonia missed two free throws!

Li Liang grabbed the rebound and immediately called a timeout.

The last 2 seconds of the Chinese team.

Gong Luming's nervous hands were shaking, and he couldn't even draw the tactical board clearly.

This is likely to be the moment for the Chinese team to make a historic breakthrough.

The Chinese team's timeout ended, and Serbia also called the timeout.

The two sides fought wits and courage for ten minutes in two seconds.

Finally, serve the sideline ball!

Gong Luming made the first arrangement for Zhou Qi to serve.

Serbia called for a timeout and re-arranged it and asked Yi Jianlian to serve.

Zhou Qi provided cover for Li Liang, and Yi Jianlian threw a high position to Li Liang to the bottom line.

Li Liang took the ball and turned around and leaned back and attacked!

【Dave Debschel’s lucky hand!】

The lucky hand finally took action.

The lucky hand never fails.

Hit!

Li Liang made the final goal that changed the history of Chinese basketball!

The Chinese team defeated Croatia with 83:82 with 1 point and reached the semi-finals historic!

Li Liang scored 27 points in this game and made a gold-like finale.

After the game, Li Liang was overwhelmed by his teammates.

The scene was flooded by the red flag.

...

Two days later, on the 20th, the Chinese team's opponent in the semi-finals was indeed Australia.

They easily defeated Lithuania in the quarterfinals and played against the Chinese team for the third time in a month.

The Chinese team played against Australia, or Li Liang had already shown confidence in the fight against Australia!

Li Liang is the most afraid of a big and strong team like Australia.

Who is afraid of whom when you fight head-on?

As a result, in this game, the Chinese team performed best since the Olympics.

The defense suppressed Australia in the whole game and scored only 67 points in one game.

The Chinese team defeated Australia in the semi-finals with an advantage of 80:67 and 13 points, and reached the Olympic finals with a record high!

Li Liang has now become more handsome and he can be on the news broadcast again!

Although we know that the final is a game that will lose, the romance of the Chinese is to brave the fire of death and arrive at a place that we have never arrived in the past, leaving a monument for future generations that we have been here.

Although the game on August 22 has not been played yet, in Li Liang's heart, the Chinese team has already won!

Team USA is also very pitiful. He took the lead in the first half before, but Li Liang said he had already won.

This game hasn't been played yet, so I won again.

Li Liang's ability to win with this empty loan is really terrible.

On August 22, China is in summer vacation.

Due to the time difference, the Beijing time of the competition was early in the morning.
