里約奧運分組出爐 中國男籃與美國夢之隊同組

The U.S. will open the Olympics against China and also will face Venezuela and Australia after being drawn Friday into what appears to be the easier men's basketball group.

在週五被選入一個看起來更容易突圍的小組之後，美國國家男子籃球隊將會在奧運會的第一場比賽迎戰中國隊，此外還將會遇到委內瑞拉和澳大利亞。

The Americans will be in Group A, which will also include two teams that will be determined after three qualifying tournaments in July.

美國隊被分在了A小組，該小組還有兩支球隊。這兩隻球隊要在7月份的三場資格賽結束之後才能定下來。

Group B includes Spain, Argentina, Lithuania, host Brazil, Nigeria and the remaining July qualifier.

B小組則包括西班牙，阿根廷，立陶宛，東道主巴西，尼日利亞以及一隻7月份決定的資格賽球隊。

The U.S., which has won the last two Olympic gold medals, is the No. 1-ranked country in the world. Spain, Lithuania and Argentina are Nos. 2-4 and Brazil is ninth.

美國國家隊拿下了過去兩屆奧運會的金牌，現世界排名第一。西班牙，立陶宛和阿根廷分居2到4位。巴西排名第九。

Australia, China and Venezuela, which qualified by winning their regional zone championships, are all outside the top 10.

澳大利亞，中國以及委內瑞拉分別通過拿下了他們所在地區的冠軍從而獲得比賽資格，這幾支球隊的排名都在前十名開外。

But the July tournaments feature strong teams such as France, Serbia and Greece, so the Americans could end up with two more strong opponents. The three six-team tournaments will be held from July 4-10, giving the winners an early start on having their teams ready for Rio.

但是7月進行的資格賽將會有像法國，塞爾維亞和希臘這樣的強隊出戰。所以美國隊可能最終會遇到兩個強大的對手。六支球隊參加的三場資格賽將會在7月4日至10日進行，勝利者也將會因此提早爲里約奧運會進行比賽。

"So we know that they'll not only be excellent teams, but they will already be on a roll when they get to the Olympics," U.S. coach Mike Krzyzewski said in a statement.

“所以，我們瞭解到，獲勝者不但會是隻優秀的球隊，而且在奧運正賽開始的時候，他們已經進入了角色當中。”美國國家隊教練邁克·沙舍夫斯基在聲明中表示。
