The main meal of the second round of the Men's Basketball World Cup was served on the table, and the battle situation was extremely exciting! Tokyo Olympic bronze medalist Australia was upset, and Canada, which has the number of NBA stars second only to the United States, lost to Brazil, coupled with the loss of the big favorite Serbia, France was eliminated in the group stage, making this men's basketball World Cup full of suspense.
Group K – Slovenia 91-80 Australia | Germany 100-73 Georgia
In the first stage of the group stage, Germany and Slovenia won all three games, and in the second stage, both teams won again and qualified for the last eight, while Australia was eliminated.
Australia has sent a luxury division with intentions for this World Cup. However, no matter how luxurious the lineup on paper is, it is difficult to hide the decline in the status brought about by the aging of Mills and Ingles, and it is difficult to pick a beam at present by relying only on the young Giddy. Although he can break into the inside, he is a little hasty and has little confidence in every shot, and his outside projection is very unstable, and it is reasonable to lose.
And they lost to Slovenia, led by Doncic, who is in the sky, and they are not wronged. It's just a pity that you're out so early for third place in the Tokyo Olympics, and the only good news may be that the ticket to the Olympics is available.
Group L – Spain 69-74 Latvia | Canada 65-69 Brazil
The upset in this group was the largest, and no one could have predicted that the world number one Spain would lose, as would Canada, the most luxurious team. At present, all four teams have 7 points, and you need to wait for the next round of life and death battles to know who will advance.
Canada has more NBA stars and popularity than the U.S. to some extent, and it's no exaggeration to say he's the luxury of the World Cup. However, once it reaches the elimination stage, in the face of high-intensity defense and confrontation, NBA players are completely at a disadvantage, Canada only scored 65 points in the game is simply jaw-dropping, this attack power is almost the same as the Chinese team, it is really a bit miserable.
Group I – Dominica 97-102 Puerto Rico | Serbia 76-78 Italy
In the first stage, Dominica and Serbia also won all three games in the group stage. But in the second stage, they all lost and broke out a big upset! At present, all four teams have the same group points, each with 7 points, and will need to fight to the death to determine who can advance to the last eight.
Serbia, the favorite to win the title, was in hot form in the group stage, but this game was completely lost to itself. The team's top star, Bogdan, felt cold on three-pointers, shooting 4 of 16 from the field and 1 of 13 from three-point range, scoring only 18 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals. Without Jokic's interior support, it's impossible to win with such a low shooting percentage. However, Serbia's next life and death battle with the Dominica led by Downs is a good thing for the fans.
Group J – USA 85-73 Montenegro | Lithuania 92-67 Greece
This group was the calmest, with the United States and Lithuania advancing to the next round. However, anyone who has watched the game knows how hard it is for the United States to win.
Montenegro stumbled the U.S. team with tough confrontation and tearing, dominating interior rebounds, thus stifling their fast attack and leaving the U.S. team in a bitter battle that couldn't play its own style. At halftime, the United States actually trailed Montenegro by 1 point 37-38, dare you believe it!
Although it was finally thrilling to score 17 points with Edwards' outbreak in the second half, it was enough to make the entire American team break into a cold sweat. But where Montenegro has enough physical strength to maintain the intensity of the whole game's defense, it is not known who will win and who will lose.
