On August 7, Beijing time, the Paris Olympic men's basketball 1/4 finals were all over, the host France defeated Canada, and United States won a big victory. The semi-finals were all released, and the semi-finals were France vs. Germany, and Serbia vs. United States.
Greece started the game quite well, building a 10-point advantage on the inside, but as the game progressed, the depth of the squad was exposed, and they could hardly rely on Antetokounmpo. Germany is getting better, the whole team is rich in attacking points, Schröder is organized in tandem, Wagner Jr. scores, and the rhythm is controlled without giving any chance to turn the tide. In the end, Germany defeated Greece 76-63, and it is worth mentioning that this is the first time in the team's history to reach the Olympic semi-finals.
In the first half of the game, Australia was in full form, the whole team shot extremely efficiently, Mills turned on crazy scoring mode, and the game was basically one-sided, and they held a 24-point lead at one point. The situation of the rematch changed abruptly, Jokic led the team to set off a counterattack climax, seized the opponent's broken ball to achieve a rebound, and saw that the victory was about to come, but Mills made a difficult shot to equalize. In extra time, Mr. Yoo guided the superstar to the moment and scored a crucial goal to seal the victory, and Serbia defeated Australia 95-90 at full-time.
France was undoubtedly well prepared for the knockout round, Gobert was almost abandoned on the bench, Cordinye started as a surprise soldier, and the team took the lead in consecutive points, and the whole team insisted on making kills and repeatedly stood on the free throw line, and they were completely in control of the initiative. Canada is particularly slow to heat up, coupled with being blown too harshly by the referee, Alexander is difficult to support, Murray and Dillon are crazy to hit iron, and the back is still a little behind. In the end, France beat Canada 82-73, and the difference was 42-25 on the free throws.
The disparity in strength is huge, even if Brazil tries its best, it is still difficult to cause too much challenge, the United States team is all soldiers can not stop at all, smooth offensive cooperation quickly opened the gap, and the victory was sealed early in the third quarter. At full-time, the United States defeated Brazil 122-87 to advance to the semifinals, and they faced Serbia in the semifinals.
