Chapter 1302 "Bad Man" Bogut

On the second day after the match between the Chinese team and Cameroon team, the matches of other groups in the rematch also ended one after another, and the final ranking was determined accordingly.

Group I: Argentina, China, Cameroon, Greece (rankings decrease from left to right);

Group J: Australia, Serbia, Italy, Iran

Group K: United States, Slovenia, Russia, Puerto Rico

Group L: Spain, France, Lithuania, Dominica

According to the rules of the World Cup, the top two in the rematch group will enter the quarterfinals, and the third and fourth will compete for the 9th to 16th place.

According to the rules of the first group against the second group, the quarter-final matchup will also be decided accordingly.

Group I and Group J form the upper half, with Argentina playing against Serbia and China playing against Australia;

Groups K and L form the bottom half, with the United States playing against France and Slovenia playing against Spain;

The game in the upper half will start first.

At the same time, the Australian team in Australia, the US team in North America, the Argentina team in South America, and the Chinese team in Asia are all the teams with the best results in their respective continents. Therefore, like Cameroon before, they have won the next year's competition ahead of schedule. Pass-through qualification for the Tokyo Olympics.

Everyone is happy with the Chinese team getting the direct tickets to the Olympics, but what they have to consider now is the next opponent, the Australian team.

This is also the process of the World Series. Before winning the championship or being eliminated, one is either fighting or preparing for the battle.

In the 2016 Rio Olympics, China and Australia were grouped together, and the US team was also there.

That year, the Chinese team miraculously defeated the United States in the group stage, but lost to Australia.

After that, the Chinese team eliminated Argentina in the quarter-finals, Spain in the semi-finals, and the United States in the final to win the Olympic champion.

Although Australia has also entered the semi-finals, but the semi-finals against the United States, the Chinese team will naturally have no chance of revenge.

Now three years have passed, and the opportunity has come again.

The Chinese team is more mature than it was in Rio, and is no longer a team that relies solely on one-star shooting and outside touch.

After Australia joined Simmons, their strength was stronger than in Rio.

Going to the quarter-finals, the game becomes a single-elimination match, a real win or go home.

The game is played two days later, and both teams are actively preparing for the game.

At this time, Bogut's remarks put him in the focus of public opinion.

When asked what he thinks of the Chinese team, the Australian said so.

"They are very unstable in shooting and free throws, and they are not good at confrontation. They are very dependent on the referee's penalty scale."

When asked about the prospects of the game, Bogut also appeared extremely confident.

"We beat China in Rio when Tang was in the team, so we will still win, and it will be easy. Playing against China is the best result for us."

After these answers were reported by the media, they immediately attracted a burst of righteous indignation from Chinese fans.

"Fuck, this rotten guy, who mocked Sun Yang before, and now he is insulting the Chinese team, get the hell out of China!"

"Bogut is really rubbish. There was news that he complained about the team's accommodation before. Why didn't he see him when he was in Rio?"

"That's right, all the four- and five-star hotels are arranged for this World Cup. The conditions in Rio were so poor at that time. This person is obviously racist!"

"The Chinese team is not good at fighting against referees. It's been 9012! Doesn't this idiot watch the group stage?!"

"This kind of person is really a rotten person. He must be jealous after seeing the Chinese team win the Olympic championship, rubbish!"

"Hit him hard, let him hit himself hard in the face!"

"Beat him to death, he will not dare to come to China after beating him!"

...

This is not a war of words at all, but really aroused all the anger of Chinese fans.

Bogut also became the first foreign basketball player to be so hated by Chinese fans.

In fact, not to mention the Chinese fans, the Chinese team members are also very angry.

Compared with the previous World Series held by Japan and South Korea, they basically did not enjoy any home whistle in this year's World Cup, and there were even many controversial whistles.

As a result, Bogut said that he relied on the whistle.

They were all holding their breath.

But being angry can't solve the problem on the basketball court. The Australian team is outstanding, and the Chinese team's targeting and preparation work before the game must be done.

It seems that this Australian team's style of play is very similar to that of the Greek team, Simmons suddenly shot, and others shot.

Simmons is not as good as Antetokounmpo in the end, but the pass is stronger, and the Australian team's outside shooter is also more stable.

But in fact not only that, Mills' breakthrough and finishing ability is also a big killer in the international arena.

Coupled with Dellavedova and Ingles, Australia has a lot of people who can handle the ball, which is the fundamental reason for their outstanding strength.

If the Chinese team wants to win Australia, it is different from the previous game against Cameroon. They must do a good job in every point of defense.

The time of the two days is very fast, and the match between China and Australia will also be staged in Wukesong at 7:00 pm.

In the morning, the two teams went to the arena for training.

The Chinese team first, followed by the Australian team.

The training of the Chinese team attracted many fans to watch. After the Chinese team left, the Australian team followed.

There were some aggressive fans at the gate, and when they saw Bogut get off the bus, they yelled at him directly.

"Fxck.you, Bogut, you're a bitch!"

Beijing is notorious for scolding, and they showed no mercy to Bogut.

Bogut heard the scolding, glanced at the fans, and then gave him a middle finger.

This immediately attracted more and louder scolding from the fans.

But he followed his teammates into the training hall with a smile on his lips.

"Losers just bark at people like dogs."

After entering the training hall, he said disdainfully to Mills beside him.

Mills frowned slightly. He and Tang Tian were former teammates, and he didn't feel that bad about China.

Although the fans just now were quite unqualified, Bogut's words were a bit too much.

Seeing that Mills ignored him, Bogut turned and said to Langdale behind him.

"Yes, they always are, yellow Asians."

Langdale and Bogut are kindred spirits.

After their training, the Australian coach Le Manis accepted an interview with reporters.

He nodded without hesitation when asked if he felt confident about the night's game.

"Of course, we have seven NBA players, we have great chemistry, we have a lot of experience, and we are here to make history."

When asked if he had any targeted tactics against the Chinese team, Le Manis seemed very calm.

"No, we don't need it. We just need to show our strength. Winning tonight's game is not our ultimate goal. We look further."

From Bogut to Le Manis, it can be clearly felt that this Australian team is extremely confident.
