Group F: Giannis Antetokounmpo, Greece frontrunners among the Nanjing four F组：Giannis Antetokounmpo和希腊在南京赛区四队中领先 28/08/2019 PREVIEW 3 MIN TO READ NANJING (China) - Having the best player in the world and a host of veterans makes Greece an attractive pick to fight for the top spots at the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2019 in China, yet danger lurks at every turn in the First Round for the European giants. 有世界上最好的球员及主力老将们让希腊成为争夺2019中国世界盃王座的一个诱人选择， 然而，对这支欧洲巨人来说，第一轮每场都潜伏着危机。 Both Brazil and New Zealand made it to knockout round five years ago in Spain, with the latter having advanced to the knockout stage at every World Cup since 2002. Each of those teams have several veterans from previous campaigns on board while Montenegro, led by inspirational captain Bojan Dubljevic and NBA star Nikola Vucevic, are sure to pack a mean punch in their first-ever World Cup appearance on the evidence of their performances in the European Qualifiers. 巴西和纽西兰五年前在西班牙都进入到淘汰赛阶段，纽西兰更是自2002世界盃後都进入到 淘汰赛。这几队阵中都有几位老将，蒙特内哥罗由励志的队长Bojan Dubljevic和NBA球星 Nikola Vucecic领衔，肯定会在他们由欧洲区资格赛晋级的首次世界盃亮相打出漂亮的一 击。 Team to Beat: Greece 目标球队：希腊 This is a no-brainer, and not just because the NBA's Most Valuable Player this past season, Giannis Antetokounmpo, is in the lineup and preparing for his second World Cup. Slick-passing, intelligent floor general Nick Calathes, power forward Georgios Printezis, center Ioannis Bourousis and forward Kostas Papanikolaou are as experienced as they come. Getting the best out of every player while maintaining chemistry is a strength of coach Thanasis Skourtopoulos. The last time the event was staged in the Far East, Greece upset the USA in the 2006 Semi-Finals, 101-95. After Round of 16 defeats in their last couple of World Cups, Greece are long overdue for a deep run in the tournament and their friendly game performances strongly suggest this will happen. 这是一个明智的选择，不只是因为上季NBA MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo在阵中准备他的 第二次世界盃。流畅的传球，场上的将军Nick Calathes，大前锋Georgios Printezis， 中锋Ioannis Bourousis和前锋Kostas Papanikolaou都很有经验。保持化学反应的同时充 分利用每个球员是Thanasis Skourtopoulos的能力。上一次来到东亚进行的赛事中，希腊 以101比95在四强赛逆袭了美国队。在过去几次的世界盃16强遭到淘汰後，希腊希望取得 更好的成绩，而在他们的友谊赛中强烈的表现出这将发生。 FIBA World Ranking, presented by NIKE WORLD RANK COUNTRY ZONE RANK IOC CURRENT POINTS 8.

NZL 267.3 Key Matchup: Greece v Brazil 关键赛事：希腊 对 巴西 This is a game Brazil's veterans like Marcelo Huertas, Anderson Varejao and Leandro Barbosa will be particularly looking forward to. Having a lot of tournaments under their belts is a strength, while the fresh impetus that youngsters Bruno Caboclo, Didi Louzada and Cristiano Felicio bring should be a shot in the arm for a Brazil team led by Aco Petrovic, a coach supremely confident in his own abilities and for good reason. He impressively led Croatia to the 2016 Olympics and then to the Quarter-Finals. It'll be fascinating to watch Calathes and Huertas square off, and to see Varejao battle Bourousis. Vitor Benite's three-point shot is a threat for Brazil, though it's going to take a collective effort to stop Antetokounmpo. 这是巴西几名老将如Marcelo Huertas、Anderson Varejao和Leandro Barbosa特别期待的 对战。比赛有他们的带领下是有力的，而年轻新血Bruno Caboclo、Didi Louzada和 Cristiano Felicio带来的 Click here for the full schedule of Group F. http://www.fiba.basketball/basketballworldcup/2019/groups Star: Giannis Antetokounmpo 球星：Giannis Antetokounmpo https://youtu.be/4uRhj3R8kQc The Greek Freak has improved every year of his professional career, so much so that in the 2018-19 season the Milwaukee Bucks superstar was named as the best player in the NBA. His combination of size, length and athleticism makes him hard to stop. Offensively he gets to the rim and thrives in transition. Defensively he swats shots and guards any player at any time. Greece have not fully capitalized on this amazing talent yet, but it seems inevitable that Antetokounmpo will lead the national team to the podium and it could just be this year, even with opponents doing all they can to neutralize his impact. Of all his skills that will come in handy, Antetokounmpo's passing should come to the fore because when there are double- and triple-teams, other Greek players will be open. 这位希腊怪物在他职业生涯的每年都有所提升，因此在2018-19赛季，这位密尔瓦基公鹿的 超级球星获选了NBA年度MVP。他结合了体型、身高和和运动能力让人很难阻止他。进攻端 他能攻击篮框并成功转型。防守端他随时能搧出大火锅并能防守任何球员。希腊还没有充 分地利用这惊人的天赋，但不可避免的Antetokounmpo将带领国家队站上颁奖台，而且可能 就在今年，虽然对手会竭尽所能的抵销地的影响力。在他所拥有的技巧中，传球应该是他 需要关注的部分，因为当包夹甚至三夹产生时，其他的希腊队友将会露出空档。 Top Prospect: Bruno Caboclo 最佳新秀：Bruno Caboclo The 23-year-old featured at the FIBA AmeriCup 2017 but was absent for all of Brazil's Americas Qualifiers games. The 2.05m (6ft 9in) small forward took very big steps in his career earlier this year, impressing the Memphis Grizzlies during a couple of 10-day contracts that he received a multi-year deal with the club. With Brazil crying out for an infusion of youth in the the national team, now is the time for the small forward to assert himself. He can hit the three-pointer, can put the ball on the deck and finish at the rim and his long arms help him on defense. 这位参与2017美洲盃的23岁的球员缺席了巴西的所有美洲区资格赛。这位2.05公尺(6尺9寸) 的小前锋在今年稍早跨出生涯重要的一大步，和曼菲斯灰熊的几个10天合约让他们印象深 刻，因而和球队签下复数年合约。当巴西国家队迫切的需要注入新血时，现在是这位小前 锋表现自己的时候了。他有三分能力，也能够在篮下攻击，防守端还有优秀的臂展条件。 Familiar Faces: Anderson Varejao, Leandro Barbosa and Alex Garcia 熟悉的面孔：Anderson Varejao、Leandro Barbosa和Alex Garcia This triumvirate has played for Brazil at every World Cup since 2002 in Indianapolis. That is a lot of experience, therefore, for a national team that's looking to make waves in the 32-team tournament in China. The trio has came within a whisker of causing the biggest upset of the World Cup in 2010, playing in the 70-68 defeat to eventual champions USA. Varejao has led Brazil in rebounding before while the Brazlian blur, Barbosa, has been a leading scorer. Garcia has been a menace on defense. All in all, it has been an impressive run for the three and their fourth World Cup go-around could also be special. 这个三人组自2002印第安纳波利斯世界盃起每届皆一起为巴西出战。对在有32支参赛队的 中国世界盃中想掀起波澜的国家队来说来说，是很丰富的经验。这三剑客在2010年世界盃 最大的逆袭中崭露头角，以68比70输给该届最终冠军美国队。Varejao是队内的篮板王， 而绰号巴西闪电的Barbosa则是得分主力。Garcia则是巩固防守。总而言之，这个三人组令 人的印象深刻，而他们的第四届世界盃复出将是特别的。 FIBA https://tinyurl.com/FIBAWC-F --
