Sitting on the couch in my house, I had just witnessed a shocking basketball game. It's not just a game, it's more like a war. The night of the Men's Basketball World Cup was really "bloody".
On September 6, the last 1/4 final of the Men's Basketball World Cup, the Slovenian men's basketball team played against the Canadian men's basketball team. In the first half, the two teams tied with 50 points, Canada opened the gap in the third quarter, and withstood Slovenia's counterattack in the fourth quarter to win 100-89 and reach the last four of the World Cup for the first time in the team's history.
It's a tough conversation, with both teams featuring big stars, and their Middle East Cic vs Alexander showdown is in the spotlight. According to statistics, the two teams have only met once in the World Series, with Slovenia outpacing Canada by 16 points.
Facing Slovenia, which has Doncic, Canada relied on the presence of many current NBA stars to control the situation in the first quarter, leading by two points at 26-24. Entering the second quarter, Doncic continued to lead the team to Canada hard, the difference between the two teams did not widen, and even at the end of the first half, the score was tied at 50, and the game was very fierce.
Back on the court in the second half, Slovenia scored a lot, but there was no limit to Canada's inside and outside, the point difference was constantly widened, and then Barrett's three-point shot made the score 72-58, and Slovenia was in a desperate situation. By the end of the third quarter, Slovenia had only narrowed the gap to 9 points.
In the fourth quarter, Slovenia tried to chase the score, but was still restricted by Canada, and Doncic began to change his mentality, sitting on the ground and complaining to the referee, eating the second T of the game, being ejected by the referee, Slovenia was hit, and finally unable to return.
For Canada, this is the first time the team has reached the last four of the World Cup, after the previous best result was the last eight, and there is hope to refresh the best result again.
With Canada's promotion, all four places in the last four of this World Cup will be created, the United States vs Germany, Serbia vs Canada, and Europe and the Americas will occupy 2 places each, if the United States and Canada win at the same time, or Germany and Serbia advance at the same time, teams from the same continent will reach the final.
It is worth mentioning that in addition to the United States, Canada, Serbia, and Germany have never won the World Cup, and this time the weakest US men's basketball team in history can produce a new championship is also a must-see.
