It's a pity that with today's 79-72 victory over France women's basketball team by Australia women's basketball team, the Chinese women's basketball team failed to advance to the top 8, 1-2 in the group stage, and was eliminated because of the disadvantage of goal difference. Originally, yesterday the Chinese women's basketball team had the possibility of qualifying, as long as Belgium did not win Japan by more than 27 points, but by coincidence, Belgium won by exactly 27 points.
You said that Belgium and Japan did not mean it, so I don't believe it.
But you still need to be hard to play iron, and it is better to rely on others than on yourself, to put it bluntly, the strength of the Chinese women's basketball team itself is not enough for these strong teams. Especially in the first game of the group stage, the final critical moment was reversed, and those decisions on the field made people think deeply.
At present, China's three major balls, football, basketball, volleyball, and only volleyball can be won in the Olympic Games. The Chinese women's volleyball team defeated Serbia 3-1 today, won three consecutive victories, and advanced to the top 8 strongly.
Since the Chinese women's basketball team participated in the Olympic Games for the first time in 1984, the best record was the silver medal in 1992, 32 years ago. Bronze in 1984, 6th in 1988, silver in 1992, 9th in 1996, 8th in 2000, 8th in 2004, 4th in 2008, 6th in 2012, 10th in 2016, 8th in 2020 and 8th in 2024.
After talking about the women's basketball team, let's take a look at the news of the men's basketball team in this Olympic Games.
At present, the top 8 matchups of the Olympic men's basketball team have been released, and the following are Beijing time:
August 6, 17:00 Germany vs Greece
August 7 0:00 France vs Canada
August 6 at 20:30 Serbia vs Australia
August 7 03:30 Brazil vs United States
The match between the United States and Brazil had to stay up late again at 3:30 a.m. on Wednesday. Fans who don't want to stay up late are fine, just lock us down, and we'll push the article as soon as the game is over, bringing the battle report.
No matter who the United States plays, as long as Embiid gets the ball, there will definitely be a tsunami of boos on the scene. James spoke about Embiid yesterday, saying, "We're all on Embiid's side. He's in good spirits, we're all in good spirits and as his 11 team-mates we're going to give him the support he needs on and off the pitch. ”
I feel that this Olympics is a double-edged sword for Embiid, on the one hand, his value may be reduced, and on the other hand, it will exercise his mental endurance and overcome his inner demons.
United States head coach Kerr praised James, saying: "Perhaps one of the best things about this Olympic journey for me is to see LeBron behind the scenes, to see his preparation, his focus, and to understand why he is who he is, and it's been great to watch him." He loves the sport so much. He loves his teammates. There's an energy and joy in LeBron that spreads through the locker room. ”
James spreads positive energy in the locker room and can spread fear on the court. The opponent's expression when you realize that James is chasing you from behind:
James spoke about the last-eight clash yesterday and said: "There are a lot of good teams in the last-eight right now, obviously Canada, Germany and I also like the fight in Greece. Serbia, we met in the group stage. We know what they're capable of. And Australia. So there are a lot of good teams and we have to be ready for our opponents, whoever it is. ”
Yesterday, Novak Djokovic won the Olympic gold medal in men's singles tennis, becoming the fifth player in tennis to win a Golden Slam title, joining Graf, Agassi, Nadal and Serena Williams. Novak Djokovic posted a post to celebrate his victory.
James liked it and left a message in the comment section: "Congratulations to my brother". Then Djokovic deliberately put this comment of James at the top, you see, this relationship, this influence.
