Another epic showdown, and a big battle that no one can afford to lose.
Because Greece and Spain both lost their first matches, either team suffered two consecutive defeats and basically lost the qualification.
In the first quarter, Greece was like a rainbow, and Brother Alphabet was unstoppable, scoring 9 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists in a single quarter, including an earth-shattering super dunk, leading the team to a 22-21 temporary lead.
But the second quarter was abrupt, Spain rained three points in Paris, and used strong and clever defense to make the letter brother lose a grain in the quarter, and the single quarter exploded 28-13.
It is worth mentioning that in the first half, Spain made 11 of 17 three-pointers, shooting a terrifying 65%.
However, Spain could not have been explosive, and they turned off in the third quarter, conceding only one three-pointer in a single quarter.
On the contrary, after halftime adjustment and adaptation, the third quarter hammered Spain's defense, leading the team to 21-13 to continue to close the score.
So almost played the game, and Greece recreated the suspense under the strong leadership of Brother Alphabet.
As the point difference gets smaller, the confrontation between the two teams becomes more intense, and the atmosphere becomes more anxious.
Even on the Spain side, there was an injury to the veteran Fernández.
The Greece side will not be pitiful because of this, and will only take advantage of the victory to pursue, and Brother Alphabet will quickly attack one-handed dunk and officially tie the score.
However, Spain, which did not want to lose its backbone, suddenly broke out, suppressing Greece at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends at the critical moment.
In the end, Spain 82-77 Greece won the first victory of the Paris Olympics.
All 12 players in the Spain team took turns in this game, and all of them scored.
Aldama from the Grizzlies contributed 19 points, 12 rebounds and 3 blocks, and was the backbone of the team on both offensive and defensive ends.
Greece 10 people rotated, Brother Alphabet shot 12 of 17 contributed 27 points, 11 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals comprehensive data, it can be said that all the all, but teammates can not give strong support.
In other words, if Brother Alphabet threw in the final moment of the three-pointer, his own Greece mythological story is quite perfect.
Counting the 34 points and 5 boards on 11-of-17 shooting in the first game against Canada, the total of 23-of-34 shooting in the two games of the Alphabet Olympics exploded with 61 points and 16 boards.
Greece's Paris Olympics campaign is not over, but with two consecutive defeats, as mentioned above, it is almost certain that the group stage qualification is out of play, and their hopes of challenging the United States men's basketball team in the knockout round and even hitting the medal are also in tatters.
Brother Alphabet slashed in the air, and Teacher Yoo was cut off by the United States men's basketball team.
It shows that basketball is a game of 5 people after all, and without the support of good teammates, even if you are an NBA supergiant, you can't do anything in the face of losing.
But Brother Alphabet is obviously the worst, no matter how much the teacher in the national team at least Bogdanovic and other NBA teammates, the former is the real alone, looking at the eyes around a bunch of guys who can't touch the NBA threshold, Greece also refuses to naturalize a good guard.
But he didn't need to cry for too long, and he was waiting for him to return to the NBA in the Bucks.
Considering Greece's overall roster, it is more realistic to continue to compete for the NBA championship if he has no chance of winning any honors in international competitions.
Besides, a person can't be a winner in everything, he has to save food for others!
