The matches between Groups i and Groups j will be the first to start.

The Chinese team will also face off against the Greek team on the first day of the rematch.

Although it was only the first game in the rematch, for the Chinese and Greek teams, who only won 2 wins and 1 losses in the group stage, this is their life-and-death battle.

Those who lose can only look at the faces of Argentina and Cameroon, and there is little hope of advancement.

The Chinese team conducted daily training on the morning of the game day.

Li Chunjiang also brought Tang Tian to analyze the characteristics of the Greek team with the coaching staff.

Before the start of the World Cup, Greece was a team that was considered to be very capable of challenging the United States, just like Serbia, Australia, Canada and China.

But they exposed a lot of problems in the group stage.

Antetokounmpo dared not make a shot from the outside, other Greek teams are unstable on the outside, Antetokounmpo is incompatible with the team's style, etc.

In other words, after the group stage, they have been relegated from one of the challenges of the US team to become a team that strives for the quarterfinals.

However, the Greek team has Antetokounmpo, and it is the top European team.

Even if we take a step back, the last time the two teams met in 2008, the Chinese men's basketball team led by Yao Ming also lost to Greece 77-91.

You should know that at that time, the Greek team did not have Antetokounmpo, and the Chinese team was known as the strongest Chinese men's basketball team in history.

So this time, the Chinese team had no reason to take it lightly.

Li Chunjiang's main idea is to use one, one, four, and then use 2-3 joint defense to limit the Greek team's breakthrough.

The inside player with Antetokounmpo is Bolosis, who is 2.14 meters tall, and he is also a foreign player of Guangsha last season.

In other words, Bolosis had played ball under Li Chunjiang before.

Li Chunjiang is very familiar with him. He is an Oku-style player who loves to shoot three-pointers from the outside.

And like Oku, he doesn't have much offensive skills at the low post. He was once defended by Zhu Xuhang in CBA last season.

Tang Tian also agreed, but he also had some suggestions of his own.

He played in the third position in this game.

The purpose of doing this is also very clear. As the No. 3 position in joint defense, it can better assist in the basket.

Of course, this is mainly aimed at Antetokounmpo.

After discussing the tactics, training will follow.

The training lasted for an hour and a half before it was opened to the public, and after it was opened, it was just some simple shooting training.

When he was interviewed after training, Li Chunjiang also said in front of the media that he would play in the group stage at night.

This targeting tactic will not be exposed in advance, and smoke bombs must also be released.

After the Chinese team's training, the Greek team also went to the training hall for training.

They are open-ended training throughout the whole process, with the training content mainly shooting and defense.

After the training, the core Antetokounmpo, the Greek team, also accepted an interview with reporters.

His attitude is very humble. Just like what Tang Tian knew, he is a very high-quality basketball star.

"We saw that the training content of the Greek team in the morning was not only shooting, but also focusing on defense. Is this aimed at Tang Tian?"

The reporter is a Chinese reporter, and he has helped the Chinese team inquire about military information in advance.

"Yes, you have to defend against Tang when playing against the Chinese team. Everyone knows this, there is nothing to hide."

Antetokounmpo nodded and said.

"What do you think is the key to winning the game tonight?"

The reporter thought about how to make up information.

"Offset, I know that Tang's ability is not easy to completely limit him, so we have to do a good job of offense, that will be the key to our winning."

Antetokounmpo is also true and sincere.

"We all know that in the NBA Finals this May, your team lost to Don's team. Will this affect your mentality?"

The reporter continued to ask.

"No, no, the NBA and Fiba are very different, the Greek team and the Bucks, the Chinese team and the Pelicans are also different, so that won't affect me."

Antetokounmpo's face was relaxed, and it was obvious that everything he said was all in his heart.

"Do you have confidence in the evening's game?"

The reporter asked at the end.

"Yes, although the NBA and Fiba are different, I didn't perform well in the NBA Finals. I think the evening game is my chance to prove myself again, and I am full of confidence."

Antetokounmpo said seriously.

Antetokounmpo is so serious that he can foresee that the game between the Chinese and Greek teams will be an extremely fierce game at night.

Neither team arranged training classes in the afternoon, and both appeared in Wukesong Arena in the afternoon.

The advantage of being a host is that the competition is usually in prime time.

For example, the Chinese team's game is basically at 7 or 8 o'clock in the evening.

This allows them to have time to observe their competitors in the afternoon.

The Greek team also took advantage of it.

Argentina and Cameroon will play first in the afternoon.

This is also the focus battle for Group I, where the two teams will compete for the top spot in Group I to ensure a favorable advantage in the quarterfinals.

"Who do you think can win?"

After Tang Tian successfully predicted the situation in Poland and Nigeria last time, Li Chunjiang looked at Tang Tian with admiration, and couldn't help asking him before the game.

"Argentina."

Tang Tian gave his own prediction.

Not only because he knew that Argentina reached the final of this World Cup in history, but also because Cameroon's outside line was very weak and could not limit Campazzo.

"I'm the same as you this time."

Li Chunjiang nodded as well.

Cameroon and Argentina are actually PKs between individual basketball and team basketball, and the latter is most likely to win.

Just like Nigeria, his strength on paper is not inferior to that of the Chinese team, but he still couldn't get beaten up in the end.

While they were talking, the game on the court had already started.

But the situation was different from what they expected.

Embiid won the first opportunity for Cameroon, and Cameroon also played the inside first when he came up.

Even Argentina contracted its defense as expected.

However, in the first round, Embiid assisted Cameroonian's outside Aziz to make a three-pointer.

Argentina team's beautiful pass assisted Scola to score a goal.

Looking back, Siakam assisted Christian with a sudden score and made a three-pointer from the outside.

This also became a microcosm of both sides' opening. After the first quarter, Cameroon led Argentina 25-20.

"The outside line in Cameroon is stronger than we expected."

Li Chunjiang frowned and said.

Cameroon is their next opponent to play, and such performance obviously puts him a lot of pressure.

Tang Tian nodded, thinking that he had misunderstood.

Because Embiid and Siakam have never represented Cameroon's game before, there is actually very little information about the Cameroon men's basketball team.

So much so that for the men's basketball coaching staff, the limited information only comes from the World Cup qualifiers and this year's group stage.

Now it seems that Cameroon's offense is much better than expected, and even performs much better than the group stage.

This is also normal. Embiid and Siakam also have to work with their teammates, especially when playing in high-intensity games in the World Cup, the faster they work.
