Chapter 841 Fighting for First Place in the Group

"Are you still broadcasting live broadcasts of handstand shitting and Japanese five-speed electric fans? Come out quickly, it's time to fulfill your promise!"

"Sent! ||▄█▔▉●|| ​​(Five-speed electric fan written on the back)"

"Damn it, 666, this works too!"

"I suspect you are driving, and I have ample evidence!"

"This American team is really bad. They can't even beat the Chinese team! The weakest American team in history!"

"No way, who is the core? Durant."

"Durant:??"

"Stop asking questions, 19 points, 8 of 12 shots from the field, I don't even dare to play against Tang!"

"The showdown between real superstars and fake superstars."

"Michael Tang is worthy of his name. One against five is not a dream, as long as he is strong enough!"

"Now we can consider the Chinese team as the favorites for the gold medal! I'm extremely looking forward to the moment when Tang gets the gold medal!"

"After winning the MVP and NBA championship, you also win the Olympic gold medal? What are you doing? Become a god?"

"Tsk! I dare not think about it! He is leading the Chinese team! If he really did it, I think he is better than Jordan!"

"The first basketball player was born!"

…

After the game, the praise for Tang Tian and the Chinese team reached a peak on social media.

However, those who originally questioned the Chinese team are still pouring cold water on it.

"It's just good luck! Look at the Chinese team's three-point shooting percentage, 11 of 21! Can this be a second game?"

"You're really bragging. Who's the one who just lost to the Australian team? If you win a game based on luck, you will go to heaven?"

"Look, we lose to France in the next game, these people are gone, and we still win the championship? Just dream!"

…

There are as many doubts as there are praises. For the Chinese team, this is a proof of their strength.

Six teams in a group, five games.

After an upset victory over the US team, the Chinese team's record after four games was 3 wins and 1 loss.

Before the start of the Olympic Games, qualifying is the most important goal of the Chinese team.

But until now, what they have to consider is not whether they can qualify from the group, but whether they can get first place in the group.

The first place player in Group A will play the fourth place player in Group B, and will not meet the first place player in Group B in the semi-finals.

This is the ranking with the least difficulty and the greatest possibility of winning the championship.

And they do have that opportunity.

There are currently three teams in Group A with a record of 3 wins and 1 loss. Except for the Chinese team, the remaining two teams are Australia and the United States.

The Chinese team beat the American team and lost to the Australian team. If Australia loses in the last game and the Chinese team wins, then based on the head-to-head record, they will become the first in the group.

Beating the US team and competing for first place in the group, these words that were completely impossible to associate with the Chinese team before, all appeared this time.

As Chinese fans, this is their proudest moment.

Two days later, the final round of the Group A group stage began.

The Chinese team faces France, the United States plays Serbia, and Australia plays Brazil.

Each of these three games is full of highlights.

Can the Chinese team continue its hot form in the last game to defeat France and take the top spot in Group A?

The French team currently has a record of 2 wins and 2 losses. They must go all out if they want to advance to the last game of the quarterfinals.

The U.S. team's situation suddenly became serious after losing the last game. If they lose to Serbia again, they will even be squeezed to third place!

Serbia's situation is similar to that of the French team. They have to compete with the French team for the last qualifying spot in Group A, and because they lost to the French team before, they must win.

Australia's performance in this year's Olympic Games is amazing. Like the Chinese team, they also have the opportunity to compete for first place in the group.

If the American team loses and they win the Brazilian team, then according to the head-to-head record, even if the Chinese team wins, they will be first in the group.

The Brazilian team is fighting for honor.

As hosts, they have yet to win a game and they need to win a battle of dignity for themselves in the last game.

Each team has its own reasons for winning, and these three games are destined to be extremely fierce.

On this day, the attendance rate of the gymnasium has remained high since the afternoon.

The match between the Chinese team and the French team started first.

The Chinese team continued its excellent form from the previous game after the opening, hitting consecutive outside shots.

The French team's style of play is more American-style, and they also encountered a similar difficulty in choosing as the American team.

The choices they made were different from the American team. They resolutely double-teamed Tang Tian throughout the game. As a result, the Chinese team's outside shooters played the best game in the Olympics.

They made 14 of 27 shots from beyond the three-point line in the game and scored 42 points on three-pointers alone.

At the end of the last game, some fans questioned that the Chinese team's victory was all due to luck, and it would be impossible to repeat the three-point performance in the previous game.

As a result, the Chinese team was slapped in the face instantly.

The French team, led by Parker, frantically chased points at the last moment, but Tang Tian's stable performance at the last moment allowed the Chinese team to retain the victory.

In the end, the Chinese team defeated the French team 81-76, setting the group stage record at 4 wins and 1 loss.

Tang Tian scored 25 points and 11 assists, his first double-double in the Olympics.

This is also the first time that the Chinese team has defeated the French team in the Olympics.

However, with previous experience of winning against the US team, fans are already used to this.

After all, this Chinese team is already one of the favorites to win the gold medal this year in the eyes of many people.

The group stage matches have ended, but the Chinese team has not been idle.

They watched the remaining two games in their group that night.

Along with them is the French team, which just lost in the afternoon. Whether they can advance now depends on whether the Serbian team can win.

The game between the United States and Serbia started first, and the game was much more intense than expected.

The Serbian team quickly entered the state at the beginning and quickly achieved a double-digit lead.

Without winning or being eliminated, their potential was fully unleashed.

Jokic also played his best performance with the Pelicans.

However, Durant on the American team responded quickly and scored consecutively so that the Serbian team had no choice.

The U.S. team quickly tied the score under the leadership of Durant, but the Serbian team's rising star Bogdan Bogdanovic responded quickly.

The scores of the two teams increased alternately until one minute before the end, when the two teams were tied at 91.

The two teams each had one offensive and defensive failure, and at the last moment, it was Durant who staged the death penalty in the international arena.

He faced Teodosic and completed a three-pointer to help the US team win 94-91.

He scored 33 points and 5 rebounds in the game, performing like a superstar.

This performance also made fans sure of one thing. Durant is still Durant, the biggest weapon in FIBA. He is only afraid of Tang Tian.

After the game, the members of the French team celebrated. Serbia's loss meant that they locked in fourth place in Group A and successfully advanced to the quarterfinals.

After the game between the United States and Serbia ended, the game between Australia and Brazil also started.

The Brazilian team fought for honor, but the strength gap between them and the Australian team was too great. In the end, Australia easily defeated Brazil, allowing the host country to end with a total defeat.

Just after the game ended, three teams with a record of 4 wins and 1 loss appeared in Group A at the same time, and each of them won or lost.

China beats the United States, the United States beats Australia, and Australia beats China. It is a cycle.

In this case, to determine the final ranking, we can only look at the score and loss ratio between each other, and determine the ranking of the three teams based on the score and loss rate.
