2010 FIBA Women’s Basketball World Cup About History

When and where

from 23 September to 3 October 2010, the Česká Republic will host the Women’s Basketball World Cup, which is held only once every four years. The best teams in the world, including the Czech Republic, will play the basic and eight-finals in Brno and Ostrava. Other knockout matches and placement matches will be played only in Karlovy Vary.

Brno

The South Moravian metropolis will host the basic groups C and D and the relevant part of the eight-final matches. The matches will take place in the Vodova Hall, in the Královo police district. The capacity of the hall is 3300 seats. Whoever intends to use public transport will be transported there by trolleybus line No. 32, stop Srbská.

Ostrava

Ostrava’s ČEZ Arena will be the venue for the basic group’s A and B and the relevant part of the eight-final matches. It has the largest capacity of all three halls, accommodating 9600 spectators. Those who want to get to the place by public transport can use tram No.: 2, 3, 7, 11, 13, 19; stop at Sports Arena.

Karlovy Vary

In the modern multifunctional hall of the spa town, kV Arena, all placement matches will be played, including the most prestigious part, i.e. from the quarterfinals to the final. The capacity of the arena is 6000 seats. You can use HMD line No. 2; stop VK Arena.

Fragments of history

The origins of the tournament date back to 1953 and the organizer was Chile. So far, Brazil was the last country to cover the 2006 Women’s Basketball World Cup. This year’s championship will be the sixteenth in a row and returns to Czech soil after 43 years. During former Czechoslovakia, the host city was Prague.

In terms of achievements, the best so far is Team USA, which won 7 gold medals. Russia (as the successor to the USSR) is close behind with six gold medals. These countries dominate the statistics and have only once allowed Brazil to the top spot in 1994 and Australia at the last World Cup in 2006.

In its modern history, the Czech Republic has not yet intervened in the fight for medals, although it will certainly have chances on home soil. Czech and Czechoslovak basketball has a long tradition and historical successes from the sixties and seventies, and it can also be reflected in the success in 2005 when Czech basketball players won the European title.

Tickets

Tickets for matches can be purchased on the Ticketportal.cz network. In the basic groups, there are always two matches, for which you pay from 190 to 900 CZK in Brno and from 110 to 1190 CZK in Ostrava. Eight-final matches can be purchased up to CZK 900.

Gameplay

The 16 teams of the world are divided into 4 basic groups A, B, C, and D. After playing each in the basic group, the three best teams of the given basic group advance to the eight-final groups (3 teams from group A + 3 teams from group B form group E; 3 teams from Group C + 3 teams from Group D will form Group F).

Within the eight-final groups E and F, three more matches will be played against opponents from the paired group stage (e.g. in Group E, the team that advanced from group A will play three matches against those who advanced from group B). Of the six teams in the eight-final group, the top four advance to the playoffs.

The playoffs will therefore begin in the quarter-finals, where the first of Group E will face the fourth of the

group F, second from group E against third from group F, and vice versa. The winners of the quarter-finals advance to the semi-finals. The defeated semi-finalists will play a match for bronze, and the winners of the semi-finals will fight for the most valuable metal.

After each elimination of teams in the given levels, matches will be played for the final position (for example, those who lose in the quarterfinals will fight for 5th to 8th place).

Women’s Basketball World Cup 2010, Game history 3.

In the last part of the introductory articles to the Women’s Basketball World Cup 2010, we will introduce the achievements of the Czech squad and its personality.

Accomplishments

Since the division of the Czech Republic and Slovakia, our women have participated in many international tournaments. As for the European Championship, except for 1993, the Czech squad played in all these tournaments. The women’s greatest success came in Turkey in 2005, where they won gold against Russia. Two years earlier, the Russians had just stripped them of the European title.

As for the World Cup, this year our individual participation will be the second in the order. At the previous tournament in Brazil in 2006, we finished in a nice seventh place. At that time, our women were eliminated in the quarterfinals by a strong selection of the Show country.

Player squad

Currently, the wider squad of coach Lubor Blažek has 18 players. But it will be narrowed down to 12 names before the championship itself.

Memorabilia from the 2010 FIBA Basketball World Championship Turkey

At the 2010 FIBA World Basketball Championship held in Turkey between August 28 and September 12, 12 giant men won the silver medal and achieved a very important success in terms of the country’s basketball history. The final match of the championship, which was hosted by Ankara, İzmir, Kayseri and Istanbul, was played at the Sinan Erdem Sports Hall in Istanbul. There were many memorable events in the world championship, which was the scene of great excitement and followed with curiosity by all of Turkey. It is not difficult to guess that the Serbia-Turkey match in the semi-finals is especially in people’s memories. So let’s look for answers to questions such as “What is left in mind from this championship, what was the 2010 Turkey squad, and which team and players came to the fore in the tournament?”

12 Giant Men’s Road to the Final

Competing in Group C in Ankara, the 12 giant men defeated Ivory Coast, Russia, Greece, Puerto Rico and China in the group matches. Turkey, who completed this stage as the undefeated leader, was paired with France, who finished fourth in Group D, in the last 16 rounds and defeated their opponent 95-77 in the match played in Istanbul. In the quarterfinals of the championship, where all the qualifying matches were played in Istanbul after the group matches, Turkey was paired with Slovenia in the quarterfinals and won the match 95-68 and became the opponent of Serbia, one of the strong countries in European basketball, in the semifinals.

Memorable Serbia Match

In the terrific match between Turkey, which was undefeated in the semi-finals, and Serbia, which was undefeated except for the only defeat against Germany in Group A, the smiling side was Turkey with the score of 83-82 as a result of Kerem Tunçeri’s turnstile in the last attack. At first, everyone thought that the time was over after Kerem Tunçeri’s basket and started to celebrate the victory, but as the referees corrected the match time, there were 0.5 seconds left to attack Serbia. Serbia’s Novica Velickovic, who managed to attack in this limited time, typed the ball, but Semih Erden’s block brought the final to Turkey. The top scorer of the match in the 12 giant man squad was Hidayet Türkoğlu, who scored 16 points.

United States Final and Kevin Durant

In the battle of the two teams that came to the final undefeated, Kevin Durant played great and contributed significantly to the gold medal win for the United States. Kevin Durant, who scored 28 points in the United States as he won the game 64-81, was named the most valuable player of the 2010 world championship. After the 2001 FIBA EuroBasket, Turkey lost the final match in another championship played at home and the 2010 Turkey Squad finished the FIBA World Championship with a silver medal.

Ranking and Individual Awards

Serbia finished in fourth place, with the United States winning gold, Turkey winning silver and Lithuania winning bronze. In the championship where 24 teams participated, Tunisia took the last place. The top scorer at the world championship, where Kevin Durant won the Most Valuable Player award, was Argentina’s under-the-basket player Luis Scola, who scored 27.1 points per game.

Hidayet Turkoglu in the Top Five!

Turkey’s Hidayet Türkoğlu was also selected for the best five, including Kevin Durant, the most valuable player of the championship, and Luis Scola, the top scorer. In addition to those three players, bronze medalist Linas Kleiza of Lithuania and Serbia’s playmaker Milos Teodosic were also in the top five.

We examined the memorable events of the 2010 FIBA World Championship, the players in the 2010 Turkey squad and the outstanding teams. While we have just remembered the details about the championship, it might be a great idea to examine Sneaks Cloud’s basketball products in different categories.

2014 World Basketball Championship: Serbia for gold against the USA

Serbia silver at Mundobasket

Serbian basketball players won silver at the Mundobasket in Spain after defeating the U.S. team 129:92 (35:21, 32:20, 38:26, 24:25) in the final. Although before the tournament everyone saw the hosts as opponents to the Americans, the Eagles messed up everyone’s accounts and came to the final fight for gold, but failed to prevent the defending champions from tying themselves to the number of titles.

Serbia for gold against the USA

Who’s burning and burning in Spain’s distant capital? Who are these guys who cleaned up everything in front of them until the World Cup final? SERBIA! Serbian basketball players eliminated France’s selection in the semifinals of the Mundobasket with 90:85 (21:15, 25:17, 15:14, 39:29) and will fight the Americans for the gold medal.

These guys are worth it now, and it’s got to be clear to everyone. When the Greeks fall (and then don’t broadcast the semi-finals), then the Brazilians, and finally the French, it must be some hellish machine that coach Aleksandar Djordjevic runs very well, and now the planet knows that machine is called Serbia.

2014 FIBA Basketball World Cup Final, There’s only one thing left, and that’s a collision with the United States of America, but whatever happens, there is, so be it, because this generation has made history.

First-quarter: Teodosic off to a great start, Serbia on “+6”

Before meeting the French, in a hall in Madrid, the organizer, as an encouragement to Serbia, played music from the movie “Return of the Written Off”. Our five from the first minute were: Teodosic, Marković, Kalinic, Bjelica and Raduljica, while the opponent confronted: Ertel, Global, Batum, Diao, and Lovernj.

The first ball went to Serbian selection, and then immediately from a distance, Milos Teodosic scored for the first lead (2:0). In the first minute, only Serbia scored because Kalinic went 4-0 up, but Boris Diao made the first points with a three-pointer (4:3). A good eagles offensive continued, because the French failed to build a position and did not even successfully defend the racket, so after three minutes of play it was 7-3.

Diao is the foundation of the tricolor, and all five points were scored by him, but Theo “artistically” served Raduljic for 9:5. The first lead for the French came after a dunk by Gober and a three-pointer by Batum (9:10), but Teodosic returned from the three-point line (12:10) in style. Bogdan Bogdanovic entered with three and a half minutes to go, so Serbia’s game was significantly accelerated, but accuracy to the three of Markovic who raised the difference to “+7” (17:10).

Serbia did not foul until the eighth minute, and after two free throws for Teodosic, Bjelica employed Markovic for 20:10 and already a serious difference. The Serbian team’s 11-0 series was answered by Fournier from distance, and one point from Krstic’s penalty “covered” Batum with a 3-pointer for 21:15, which was the final score of the quarter.

Second-quarter: French in panic chase difference, Serbs control the match

Teodosic continued to grind out France’s basket after scoring three points and 24:15 in the second half, and then Bogdanovic served for a safe two points (26:15). Serbia’s counter-attack was interrupted by an injury to Nikola Batum, who left the game accompanied by a team doctor, while Raduljica hit from the penalty line in the next attack, then nailed two French men and lifted the hall for a 9-0 series and a score of 30:15.

Coach Djordjevic’s time-out interrupted a smaller four-point series of tricolors (30:19), but that did not disrupt Ertelo, who further reduced the difference (30:21). When needed most, Raduljica opened the way for Markovic with five and a half minutes to half-time for 32:21 and quickly converted Kalinic into points (34:21).

Theo, Theo, Theo, and Theo – that’s all you could hear in Madrid after he made another three, then from the new contras employed Bjelica with a parquet ball for 41:25, and the Spanish journalist then compared him to Andres Iniesta. Serbia had a remarkable “+18” in the 17th minute, and France tied it 5-0 in two attacks, but that didn’t help either against Bogdan Bogdanovic’s long-range shot that made it 46-30.

Diao tried a solo break in the last attack, but it didn’t work out for him, so the Serbs left at half-time with “+14” (46:32).

Third-quarter: Serbia defends positions, French fail to cut

The third leg started well, especially for the playful Teodosic, who hit a three-pointer, but Batum fought back (49:35). Bjelica continued to collect rebounds, offensively, and defensively, and from volleyball, he shot 51:35. It was evident that after Gobber came out the French couldn’t jump, and with one attack at the halfway point of the quarter, they were successful on both sides, so it was 53:37.

The return of Gober meant a return of rebounds for the “Tricolore” and the 4-0 series, but Bogdanovic’s new assist allowed Krstic to dunk in 55:41. Kyle once again, with an exhibition, was better than his opponent, and then Ertel reduced it to 57:43. The Serbian captain also connected for the sixth point in a row, and then Raduljica with the horror “absorbed the bottom three for the end of the third quarter 61:46.

Fourth-quarter: The fall didn’t cost the Serbian company the final!

It didn’t go very well in the last leg, because the French tied the five points, and then Bogdan had to stop Fournier with a foul, and the game continued without a point until Markovic scored in 63:51. Razika went below double digits after a long time, with Diao and Batum hitting two threes in 30 seconds in 63:57 and the Serbian side’s fear.

Serbia’s black series continued with a free Batum and then a three-point shot by Fournier for the Frenchman’s total return to the game with five minutes and 16 seconds left in the match (65:61). When it was hardest, Bogdanovic returned a three-pointer for air, and Fournier made it 68-62 from free throws. There was no barrier for Batum and his threesome, but Bogdan passed for 72:66.

Markovic finished the match with five personal errors with three minutes left in the match, and Ertel put France back on “-6” (74:68). And a genius named Teodosic hit a three-pointer, but French genius Batum returned in the shootout for 77:71 and his 30 points.

Despite all the fire, Serbia held a slim four-point margin of 80:76. The French beat the three-point line and there was no salvation from it, so it was 84:81. It entered the penalty area where Ertel missed one, and then Kalinic hit both with 17 seconds left in the encounter in 86:82.

In a remarkable finale, Serbia still managed to reach a final that will surely be retold decades in advance. The best in the ranks of Serbian heroes was Milos Teodosic, first among equals, with 24 points, 13 for Bogdanovic, and 11 each by Markovic, Krstic and Raduljica. With opponents, even 35 points and a game of Batum to remember wasn’t enough, because the Eagles flew away.

Djordjevic: It is a big challenge to play the European champion in the semi-finals

Serbian basketball coach Aleksandar Djordjevic left the role of favorite in the World Cup semi-finals to France but insisted his players would go on to win. I think they’re the ones who have the role of favourite, precisely because they’re the rights of Europe. Still, I wouldn’t think in that direction. The boys are willing and eager to play another good game. I don’t want to deal with others or more Info.

Serbia reaches Mundobasket semi-finals

The Eagles are flying high and no one can stop them! Serbian basketball players defeated Brazil in Madrid with 84:56 (21:17, 16:15, 29:12, 18:12) and reached the semifinals of the Mundobasket! Words are redundant for the success of the chosen one, Aleksandar Djordjevic. They promised revenge on the Brazilians for defeat in the group, and put the plan very experienced and with great play into action.

If someone had asked brazil what the second half was about, they would surely have shrugged, because there was no cure.

Fantastic dunks by Kalinic

Nikola Kalinic is playing perhaps a career game against a Greek basketball player in the eighth round of the Mundobasket final, and with two dunks he emphasized his candidacy for the championship move. The new Red Star winger showed the Hellenics what awaits them at the start and in the third minute the controversy ended with a phenomenal dunk over 215 centimetres tall Yannis Burusis for 4:2.

Serbia reaches Quarterfinals of Mundobasket

Serbia’s basketball team has reached the quarterfinals of the Mundobasket! In a great game in Madrid, the Eagles eliminated Greece’s selection with 90:72 (23:20, 23:22, 18:13, 26:17), and will fight Brazil or Argentina for the top four teams in the world.

The sun sets over the Middle Kingdom, and the orange balloon celebrates its new masters. Spain won, Sunday, September 15, the Basketball World Cup, after its victory over Argentina, in Beijing (95-75). Undefeated in the competition, the teammates of point guard Ricky Rubio, 20 points in the final– named best player of the World Cup, offer themselves the second planetary crown in their history, after the title of 2006. After knocking Australia down in the last quarter of the small final (67-59), the France team completes the podium of a World Cup full of surprises.

Asia succeeds in Spain:

Thirteen years after its first world title in Japan, Spain confirmed on Sunday that it likes to play in Asia. In the absence of its historic leader, Pau Gasol, injured, La Roja relied on his brother, pivot Marc Gasol, and point guard Ricky Rubio to sign a smooth campaign. Passed by the of the needle in the semi-final against Australia (victory after two extra times, while the Boomers had led the whole meeting), Sergio Scariolo’s men did not make any detail to crush an Argentina unable to repeat in the final performance of the two previous rounds – against Serbia and France.

Like its women’s team, which won the Euro earlier this summer, the Spanish men’s basketball team is on top of the world after winning an open competition. And this victory, the country’s first without any member of its golden generation, the “Juniores de Oro”, crowned world junior champions in 1999, marks the continuation of Iberian excellence. “We weren’t the biggest team or the most talented, but we played the most as a team and with the most heart,” said Ricky Rubio, aware that he “made history.

The Spaniards have won the last two World Cups held in Asia (the 1978 World Cup in the Philippines was won by Yugoslavia). A good omen for the Roja, knowing that the Olympic Games, next year, are held in Tokyo.

French promises:

In a World Cup where the truth of one day was not the truth of the next, the French team leaves China having fulfilled its objective: to qualify for the Olympic Games. Of course, like Evan Fournier, inconsolable on the podium and pretending to reject his bronze medal, the bitterness dominates, so much the Bleus fell from high against Argentina in the semi-finals.

But five years after its first world medal – in bronze, already -, the French team consolidates its place among the nations that count on the basketball planet. And if its potential was not in doubt, it arrived in China without reference points, having to reinvent itself after the international retirement of the Parker generation.

It is a promise for the future of this new group, in full construction”, greeted the French coach, Vincent Collet, insisting on the need to create a hard core around which to build. “Experience is an essential factor in these competitions.” And the “non-match” of his men in the semifinals is a lesson to be learned. “We swore that this would never happen again, and especially not next year if we were lucky enough to be in the quarterfinals in Tokyo.

They dreamed of returning from China covered in gold, but Les Bleus will have to be satisfied with bronze. And some new certainties, as well as the memory of having been the team that prevented the United States from claiming an unprecedented world triple.

The “United States” of America

“We wrote down the names, and we will remember those who thought they were coming to war with us but didn’t come.” The formula is unmistakable. Enunciated by Jerry Colangelo, the architect of the U.S. election, it is addressed to the NBA stars who saw fit to cancel at the last moment their participation in the World Cup. After a transfer market that redesigned the great North American League at the beginning of July, many stars preferred to spend the summer preparing for the season rather than coming under the colors.

If some – like LeBron James or Stephen Curry – had apologized well in advance, others had assured their presence, before ducking out, making the month of July look like a cascade of forfeits: 32 in all.

Les Bleus, in the quarter-finals, and then the Serbs, in the classification match, were responsible for reminding the United States that if they are the country where basketball was born, this sport is now global, and the gap between nations is narrowing.

If they have not, like some of their predecessors, approached the competition over the leg, the men of Gregg Popovich were forced to give up for the first time since the 2006 World Cup. Two years later, a “Redeem team” composed of the biggest stars of the NBA came to restore the American flag at the Olympic Games. Bis next year in Tokyo?

The question of “windows” in abeyance

The World Cup in China went well, except for the long travels due to the vastness of the country. But the question of qualification for the World Cup has not been settled. Due to a struggle for influence between FIBA (International Basketball Federation) and the Euroleague, the new qualification system – the windows – set up for this competition took place without the best players in the world (playing in the NBA and the Euroleague).

At the end of the competition, the various players said they were ready to “sit down around a table” to try to iron out the differences. But the road is long before reaching a system that satisfies everyone, as the orange ball is disputed between its various structures.

Eleven years after having offered one of the most beautiful international meetings of history, the Olympic final of the Beijing Olympics between the United States and Spain, China sees the caravan of the world basketball leaving it’s lands. And if the enthusiasm of the local public has not wavered throughout the competition, the country has seen its national team completely miss the appointment, failing to pass the first round, and missing the Olympic qualification.
