From a strength perspective, this Dream Eight is stronger than the original Dream Eight, mainly in terms of mindset.
After the opening loss, being thrashed by the Spain team with a 13-point gap in the first quarter, and tortured by the Greece team... they developed a caution that the original Dream Eight didn't have. Starting from the second quarter against the Spain team, they eliminated many flaws. When playing against the Greece team, they significantly displayed the demeanor of a strong team. No one exploded, and even under the Greece team's complete control of the tempo, they defeated them with sheer strength.
But not taking first place in the group stage was too embarrassing for them... They initially aimed to compete with the Dream Team One!
…
With the group stage over, the 8 teams advancing have three days of rest.
