ps:   When uploading this chapter, I found that there were too many harmonious parts. It took a long time to pass, so I didn’t let the swear words be!

After Canada defeated Australia, that night, the Chinese men's basketball team, which had three major inside players and was known as the "strongest in history", faced the unstoppable Meng Ba in the same venue. The game was amid the tsunami of fans in Wukesong Stadium. Although the Chinese men's basketball team struggled to resist, they still lost to the US team 100:70 and missed the semi-finals.

The Chinese men's basketball team finally ranked eighth and failed to break through the best record in history. This result is a bit regrettable.

Some fans couldn't help but wonder why the Chinese men's basketball team has already confirmed eighth before Argentina and Greece have played?

This is because of the ranking rules of this Olympic men's basketball team. Since there is no ranking battle in this Olympics, the group stage record and gains and losses determine the final ranking of each team outside the semifinals. The following are three rules:

1. According to the group stage record, the one with the best record will be ranked fifth, and so on;

2. If the group stage record is the same, then they will be calculated based on their ranking in their respective group stages. The final ranking of the group stage is high, and so on;

3. If the record is the same and the ranking in each group is the same, the scores and points of the team will be ranked according to the scores and losses of all the matches participating in.

Judging from this rule, the Chinese men's basketball team is undoubtedly at a disadvantage. The Chinese team that advances in the group stage has the worst record among the eight teams (Australia and Croatia both have 3 wins and 2 losses). After being eliminated, the first rule has been triggered: Therefore, there is no need to compare small points and group rankings, the men's basketball team has already ranked eighth. This also makes fans who are looking forward to the men's basketball team breaking the historical record.

But many Chinese fans also think that if the Chinese team wants to break the historical record by this method, even if they succeed, they will have no shame to see others. Either they win the game and reach the semi-finals with their heads held high and reach the semi-finals with their heads and chests. This is the record; since they lose, they will stop at the semi-finals with their petty care. In addition to making some leaders more beautiful in their political achievements, is it useful?

Look at the Canadian team, the two brothers Garnash are immediately a combination of the Big Three. If the twins joined the Chinese team and Yao Ming and others were also the Big Three, they could also reach the semi-finals!

The Chinese team stopped in the quarterfinals again. It was these short-sighted leaders who only knew how to take into account their immediate personal interests and were eager to fish, which led to the three major Chinese balls being worse than the other, and talents were even more embarrassed by the chain break. After Yao Ming retired in two years, would you expect Yi Jianlian to be the top player of the Chinese team?

Let’s look at the last Olympic champion Argentina. Their education system is not as good as that of Europe and the United States. The population is less than 100 million, but they have formulated a very special way of selecting basketball materials according to local conditions. The goal is to discover more children who may become basketball superstars.

Officials from basketball associations in various parts of Argentina will often go to various schools to select children with basketball talent and tall people, and establish direct contact with each school; schools will take the initiative to send information about talented children to basketball associations in various places and receive rewards from basketball associations. In addition, the Argentina Basketball Association also has special funds to provide plastic materials in backward areas or families with difficult conditions. These measures can prevent children with basketball talent or excellent physical conditions from missing the opportunity to receive basketball training.

But in China, each of our schools also has many good seedlings with outstanding height and good physical fitness. But whether it is basketball or football, how many schools specialize in discovering the athletic talents of these children? In the end, those talented children missed the golden period of training in vain. How many talented children in China are wasted every year!

At this time, where did our relevant departments with great powers go? In addition to embezzling, they pester Yao Ming every day and Yi Jianlian wants kickbacks, can you do some personnel if you have time? Without new stars, where do you go to embezzle in the future?

Oh...Okay... It seems that this question has returned to the original answer. People didn't think so far. It's the best way to make a fortune after working for a few years to immigrate quickly. I'm planning our uncle!

If the Chinese Basketball Association can change to a group of officials who have ideals and ambitions and really like basketball in the future, it doesn’t matter if these people are still corrupt. If you are corrupt, just do what you should do, then you will be a good official.

China can refer to Argentina's method and select good seedlings by directly giving schools rewards. The physical fitness of Chinese people born in the 1980s, 1990s and even 2000s is getting better and better. Physical health is no longer a shackle that restricts the development of Chinese players, but lacks policies that can find out these good seedlings carefully, and also lacks a good official who truly considers Chinese basketball. Even if you use coach Zhang to be the head of the Basketball Association, you are better than those outsiders.

Damn it, I've been talking too much. After the Chinese team was eliminated by the American team, Kobe commented after fighting Sun Yue: "He is a little genius. I think he will become better and better because he has such outstanding physical conditions."

After hearing this, Ji Guomo laughed secretly. Sun Yue was indeed in good physical condition, but he was not the kind of person who really likes basketball. If he had the crazy training spirit of Joel Anthony, he would not have been disappointed from the NBA.

In addition to being good health, skills, and diligence in basketball are also the top priority. If you want to become a player who can play the main role in the NBA, you must have at least two of them; and if you want to become an All-Star, you must have at least three points; if you want to become a superstar, all four are indispensable!

On August 21, after Canada defeated Australia, the next day, the whole team watched the game between Argentina and Greece. Their semi-final opponent was the winner of these two teams.

The winner of the men's basketball championship at the 2004 Athens Olympics was Argentina. This is a team that relies on overall play. The players cooperate well and their performance is also very stable. They have made great progress in recent years. Last year, Argentina won the runner-up at the US Championships, and at the 2006 Men's Basketball World Championships, Argentina won fourth place with a record of 7 wins and 2 losses.

Nowadays, most of the main players of the Argentine men's basketball team are at the peak of their careers, which increases their hope of defending their title at the Beijing Olympics. The United States, Spain and Canada are the strongest opponents on the Argentine team's championship, and Greece is not weak, but in the eyes of major media, they have little chance of defeating Argentina.

The result of this game was not unexpected. Argentina, whose strength was no less than that of Spain and Canada, defeated Greece without any danger and successfully entered the semi-finals!

In the past two years, when football has not brought joy to this country for a long time, Ginobi used the Olympic champion and NBA champion to appease the sports-loving Pampas nation. This bald man has become a symbolic figure in Argentina.

Ginobili, who performed well in the game, said as early as last season that Argentina should gather the "golden generation" players to compete in the Beijing Olympics and strive to defend the title.

Previously, the Argentine team, which lacked generals Ginobili and Nosioni, failed to win the championship under the leadership of Rockets power forward Scola and only won the runner-up.

There are many excellent players in Argentina. They rarely rely on one person to win. This is a bit like Spain. Argentine players have excellent performance on the court, which is more due to the team's tactical system. Moreover, Argentine players are strong-willed players, and they fight to the end no matter what the situation is.

It is worth mentioning that Louis Scola, who is currently playing for the Houston Rockets, was a power forward. At the 2008 US Championships, Ginobili and Nosioni were absent due to injury, the Rockets' actor took the lead and led the team to the finals. Although he eventually lost to the star-studded American men's basketball team, the Argentinian eventually beat the stars and took away the MVP of the US Championships.

Now after a season of training in the NBA, Scola's strength has increased significantly. Experts from the Rockets Media Chronicle once wrote an article saying that Scola has already achieved an All-Star level under the guidance of Rockets coach Adelman. It is worth mentioning that Scola is the only player in the Rockets' regular season to play 82 games.

At the same time, Delfino and Nosioni have grown very rapidly in recent NBA seasons. Although Nosioni is a big man, he has good mobility, both rebounds and shooting. Nosioni's strength is obvious to the Bulls. Delfino has been immersed in the Pistons for three seasons, and it is difficult to not be able to defend. Therefore, with the advancement of Ginobili, the rapid and defensive style will reappear.

After Argentina defeated the Greek team, Ginobili had already shouted the slogan after the game: "The Argentine men's basketball team will defend its title in the Beijing Olympics."

Louis Scola, the main power forward of the Rockets who is very familiar to domestic fans, also said with confidence: "The Argentine men's basketball team has the strength to defend the title, and we have no doubts about this goal."

Argentina coach Hernandez first praised in an interview with the media after the game: "Having Ginobili is like having an unlimited credit card." When asked about the Canadian team, Hernandez said that the Argentine basketball team has the confidence to defend the title, but is not blind: "Because we have the strength to form a stable, united and strong team, many of our players are at the peak of their golden age and careers. We are more experienced than the Athens Olympics four years ago. If we can take advantage of all the favorable factors, there is a great hope for the Argentine men's basketball team to defend the title!"

Hernandez stressed: "Argentina's goal of defending the title will not be very easy. The biggest opponents are Canada, Spain and the United States. One of them is the latest World Championships champion, the other is the newly emerging Big Three, and the other is used to achieving great honors. I think Spain, the United States, Canada and Argentina together, these four teams will be the most powerful contenders for the Olympic basketball championship. But we are not afraid of any team's challenges. In 2004, we defeated the "Dream Team" that remained unbeaten for 58 games, which created surprises for the whole world! And now, all fans will not be surprised by any results we have achieved."

At this point, all four semi-final teams have been released, and the matchup situation is as follows:
