In an Olympic men's basketball match, host France defeated Canada 82-73 to advance to the final four. Next up in the semi-finals will be another European team, Germany.
The Canada men's basketball team, led by a number of NBA star players, reached the quarterfinals.
Where did they lose this game?
Perhaps, you would say, it's a matter of refereeing.
In this campaign,The France men's basketball team made 25 free throws in the half, and made a total of 42 free throws in the game, and finally the two sides made 42-25 free throws.
This is home field advantage.
But France's high number of free throws also has a lot to do with their strategy of playing inside.
Yabusele scored 22 points and came off the bench to bring up a Champions League team of inside Matthias Lesol with 13 points, becoming a wonder man.
If I had to look for the reason myself, I would say that Canada's Jamal Murray played too badly.
In this knockout game, he made 3 of 13 shots, got 7 points, 5 rebounds and 1 assist, and really pulled.
Canada had high expectations for the NBA champion guard, and as a result...
When he was on the field, Alexander couldn't even get the ball.
In 4 games in this Olympic Games, Murray averaged 6.0 points, 3.8 assists, 3.0 rebounds and 0.5 steals per game, shooting 29.0% from the field, 14.3% from three-point range, and a plus/minus of -5.8.
Specifically, there are four games:
played Greece, 2-of-6, got 8 points, 3 assists and 3 turnovers against Australia, 2-of-7, got 5 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists; played Spain, 2-of-5, 4 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists; Played France, 3-of-13, with 7 points, 5 rebounds and 1 assist.
4 games, I lost my value.
It's no wonder that fans commented: "When you leave Teacher Yue, you know how many dishes you have!" โ
And Serbia's Jokic, last night, led the team to make a big news:
Up to 24 points behind Australia, the final comeback.
