The last opponent of the Chinese team in the group stage is the Greek men's basketball team. The current record is 2 wins and 2 losses, and the two games have lost to the United States and Spain respectively. Like Spain, it is temporarily ranked third in the group.

This game is a game that determines the ranking of the group. If the Chinese team wins, they will qualify as second in the group. Greece has a high probability of falling to fourth in the group because it lost to Spain before.

If Greece and Spain win in the last game, the two teams will have the same record as the Chinese team, and the ranking will be determined by the net score of the three teams.

The Greek men's basketball team has entered a very strong period in the past decade. They defeated the powerful Dream Team in the last World Championships. Although they eventually lost to Spain in the final, they are recognized as the uncrowned king.

Papalucas, Diamantis and Spanoris are the absolute core of Greece.

Papalucas led the team to win the European Cup in 2oo5 and won the mVp, and was known as the "strongest organizational defender outside nBa".

In the semi-finals of the 2oo6 World Championships, in the game where Greece eliminated the United States, Papalucas contributed a game-high 12 assists, almost defeating Chris Paul, who had just entered the nBa.

After the game, some media said that the reason why Greece could reverse the United States was because of Papalucas.

Papalucas is the soul of this Greek team and the captain of this Greek men's basketball team.

However, due to Spanoris's growth, Papalucas gradually began to give way to the younger Spanoris.

However, although Papalucas came on as a substitute in this Olympics, he did not play less than the main players.

Whenever the Greek team encounters difficulties, Papalucas will stand up from the bench and help the team stabilize the situation.

As he grows older, Papalucas' personal attack ability gradually weakens, but his overall view and basketball IQ are still one of the biggest reliances of the Greek men's basketball team.

Diamantis is recognized as the best defensive player in Europe in the past few years. He is 28 years old this year in his first year of playing.

Diamantis is extremely skilled, has a balanced offense and defense, can play two positions, and is a left-handed player and a very difficult forward guard swinger.

Spanoris has a resounding nickname - "European Kobe".

However, his style is closer to Steve Nash. His overall view is not as good as Papalokas, but his assault ability, cooperation with the inside pick-and-roll, and even his attacking and long-range shooting skills are very similar to the Canadian who led the sun to whirlwind.

Spanoris joined the Rockets in 2016, but his season in nBa was average, and Spanoris chose to return to Greece.

Since both sides locked in the quarterfinals, the intensity of the game was slightly lower than the previous game.

The Chinese team exposed physical strength problems in the last game against Germany. For the subsequent knockout round, Yunas gave all the main players not too long.

Including Li Rong, who was in the best physical condition, he only played for 25 minutes in the whole game.

After the game started, the Greek team took the lead in getting the offensive ball. The Greek team attacked strongly in the interior, and Sun Yue quickly assisted in defense, and made a strong attack on the opponent.

However, the Chinese team then made a pass mistake. Spanoris shook Li Rong's retreat in the counterattack, and took the lead in scoring 2 points for Greece.

Yao Ming received a pass from Li Rong from the outside at the beginning and tried a three-pointer, but unfortunately the ball failed to hit.

Yao Ming had a normal touch in the first quarter, but he didn't hit the next two shots. He scored 1 point with only free throws in half the quarter.

Halfway through the festival, both sides' scoring efficiency is average, and the Chinese team is 5-8 behind their opponents by 2 points.

Then the Chinese team's substitute started to play. Wang Zhizhi immediately played a role after appearing to replace Yao Ming. He used clever fake moves to swipe the defense of the "Greek little shark" Skesenitis at the basket and then hit the board and into the basket, helping the Chinese team narrow the gap to 1 point.

Then Wang Shipeng and Zhang Qingpeng, who had few chances to play in the previous games, scored one after another, and the Chinese team reversed the score in one fell swoop.

However, in the second half of this quarter, Spanoris began to steal, layup, and assist, helping Greece to pull the score apart again.

After Li Rong got out, the Chinese team's offense began to stagnate, trailing his opponent by 5 points in the first quarter 18-23.

In the second quarter, the Chinese men's basketball team continued to play mainly as a substitute.

The Chinese substitute could not withstand the Greek team's tide of attack, but Dazhi still relied on his rich experience to score some fragmented points at the basket, posing a certain threat to the Greek team's inside.

After Greece's Zkis made both free throws, they have expanded their lead to 3o-21.

However, Yunas on the sidelines still had no intention of sending the main player to the field. It was not until halfway through this quarter that the score difference between the two sides had reached 15 points, and Li Rong and Yao Ming played again.

As soon as Li Rong came back, he successfully hit the back with a high position, helping the team narrow the score gap.

But the Greek team's offensive feeling has been completely found, and Diamantis immediately returned a three-pointer.

Before the end of the half, Du Feng replaced Li Rong and played in this Olympics the next time.

Du Feng scored one and two points for the Chinese team. At the end of the half, the Chinese team fell behind their opponents by 14 points 30 to 44.

The main player who had experienced plenty of rest started swinging in the third quarter. As soon as the game came back, Zhu Fangyu scored a three-pointer.

Spanoris then missed the outside shot, Li Rong assisted Yao Ming in the inside to score a 21-pointer, and then stole the opponent and made a counterattack three-pointer. The Chinese team chased the gap to 5 points within one minute.

Greece was forced to request a timeout, but their timeout arrangement did not work, and the attack returned still failed.

Li Rong then assisted Liu Wei again to shoot in the middle distance, and the gap between the two sides had reached 3 points.

Spanoris scored two points for the Greek mid-range shot and stabilized the situation, and the two teams then fell into a stalemate.

Although he didn't fall behind, Yunas still insisted on replacing all the main players.

The Chinese team's substitute was once again widened by the opponent to a 10-point difference. After the third quarter, the Chinese team fell behind the opponent 54 to 65 and entered the fourth quarter 11 points.

The fourth quarter almost retreated from the third quarter. Although Li Rong and Yao Ming were not present, Sun Yue, Yi Jianlian and Wang Zhizhi fired continuously on the outside, especially Wang Zhizhi, who scored two consecutive three-pointers from the outside.

The Chinese team scored an 11-to-o climax within three minutes, tying the score in one fell swoop.

Spanoris is still the one who stood up for Greece. He scored with the help of pick-and-roll shooting to help Greece stabilize the situation.

Gilliandakis and the Shark also succeeded one after another, and Greece once again widened the gap.

Yunas did not gradually replace Yao Ming and Li Rong until halfway through the game, but Greece had established an advantage of nearly 10 points at this time. In the end, the Chinese team used foul tactics to catch up with the score but failed, and lost to the opponent with a score of 87-91.

Although the Chinese team lost the game, due to the unanimous victory of the three teams, the Chinese team's net wins in the group stage surpassed Spain and Greece, and entered the quarter-finals with the second place in the group.
