This striker is a bit of a monster

Chapter 254 Qualify early! (8K)

"Fortunately, it should only be a mild sprain."

After the team doctor's examination, the good news was given. It was a mild sprain. It was quite fortunate. This made Zhou Lin's agent Thomas Myers and the staff sent by the Charlotte Bobcats to China feel a little bit relieved. With a sigh of relief, now Zhou Lin is not only playing for himself, if he is seriously injured, it will have a dark impact on the Charlotte Bobcats, the team behind Zhou Lin, and those endorsements, and Zhou Lin's ankle It's not the first time I've been sprained. Although the probability of this sprain is only the mildest level, the team members, including Thomas Myers, all suggested that Zhou Lin should stop playing with an injury and play with an injury. If you get injured again, it will definitely be serious.

"Xiao Zhou, it's okay."

Yao Ming and his team members also returned to the locker room one after another, and asked Zhou Lin with concern.

Zhou Lin nodded and said, "Slightly sprained, it shouldn't be a big problem."

Liu Wei came over and patted Zhou Lin and said, "Xiao Zhou, you scared us to death just now, the twist just now was really serious, it's because you are young and in good health."

Yunus already knew from the staff that Zhou Lin's sprain was a mild grade one, but he was still very cautious in negotiating with Zhou Lin about the playing time of the next game, while Thomas Myers on the side was Communicated with Yunus in English. He didn't want Zhou Lin to appear again in this game. Zhou Lin stopped Thomas Miles and said: "Coach, I will follow your arrangement. You think I need to play. I can play."

"Zhou Lin didn't start the game in the second half, but he himself came to the bench. It seems that Zhou Lin's injury is not serious, and the reporter in front just now learned from the team doctor of the Chinese team that Zhou Lin's sprain should be serious. The lightest level, but it is probably for the sake of insurance, so Yunus let Zhou Lin be on the bench to watch the battle first."

Sun Zhengping said: "Relying on the advantage of the first half, the Chinese team is now 47-32 and still holds a 15-point lead. If the Chinese team can maintain this score difference, then Zhou Lin can also feel at ease. Rest off the court, after all, there are still games to play."

Zhou Lin also played regularly. Once Yunus needs it, Zhou Lin will stand on the court without hesitation, and the German team will naturally not waste Zhou Lin's rest time when he is injured. Duan, they have to work hard to bring this game back.

In the opening stage of the second half, Sun Yue replaced Zhou Lin in the starting position. Liu Wei and Yao Ming had a pick-and-roll. One mistake, was intercepted by Haman, but after Haman got the ball, Liu Wei’s defense was still in place, Haman’s side was whistled by the referee for a walking violation, and Haman thought the ball was Liu Wei Fouled, of course, Liu Wei is indeed suspected of fouling the ball, but this is the home court of the Chinese team after all, so the penalty can be blown or not, a little bit biased towards the Chinese team is also being cleaned up.

Then, Femorin, who replaced Chris Kaman in the second half, was whistled for a foul against Yao Ming. Chris Kaman, who was sitting on the bench, had already been fouled three times by Yao Ming, and now the substitute Yao Ming also fouled Fermolin twice on the inside line. It can be said that the inside line of the German team is in crisis now. Yao Ming made two free throws and widened the point difference to as much as 17 points.

However, Dirk Nowitzki, the pillar of the German men's basketball team, also started to get mad. He made two difficult three-pointers from the outside in a row. That's bad, but Nowitzki made 5 of 3 three-pointers, and almost every shot was against Yi Jianlian or Wang Zhizhi's close defense.

49-38!

Looking back, Sun Yue also cooperated with Yao Ming in the pick-and-roll and made a key three-pointer, which was a response to Dirk Nowitzki's three-pointer.

52-38!

The German men's basketball team missed another shot. Although the Chinese team's shot missed the frame, but looking back, the German men's basketball team made another coordination error and was intercepted by the Chinese team. It could only be blocked by a foul, and Femorin also quickly followed in the footsteps of Chris Kaman and committed the third foul. The German team quickly took Chris Kaman back helplessly. court.

With 7 minutes left in the game, Yao Ming was scratched by the opponent's defender again while grabbing a position. He chose to stop the bleeding, and Wang Zhizhi replaced him.

"The Chinese team still holds a 14-point lead. Now that Yao Ming has been replaced by Wang Zhizhi, the core of the Chinese men's basketball team's inside and outside line is not on the court. I also hope that the Chinese team can stabilize this period of time. .”

In this Olympic Games, there was almost no time period when Zhou Lin and Yao Ming were not on the court at the same time for the Chinese team.

In fact, when neither of them was on the court, the Chinese men's basketball team did lose its backbone.

In the 2 minutes when Yao Ming was replaced, the German team first played 2+1 inside by Chris Kaman. Without Yao Ming, Chris Kaman's inside offense was quite powerful. , Liu Wei of the Chinese team took the ball to the front court. After the pick-and-roll, there was a misplaced small hit. Liu Wei faced Chris Kaman's mid-range and finally failed to make a shot. Man Harman made a three-pointer from the outside, after a wave of 6-0.

The score advantage of the Chinese team was reduced by less than 10 points. Jonas quickly called a timeout. Yao Ming stood up and prepared to come on as a substitute.

During the absence of Yao Ming and Zhou Lin, the Chinese team obviously lost their focus of attack, while the German team obviously felt like they were gaining momentum.

The German team has always been very good at shooting outside three-pointers. Once the outside line is opened, the speed of chasing points will be very fast.

Yao Ming failed to stop the bleeding as soon as he came on the court. The first attack was given to Yao Ming, but Yao Ming's half-block shot was a little bit off. This time, Nowitzki went inside by chance and faced Yao Ming. The defense hit the board successfully, and Nuo Tianwang stretched out his hand this time and wanted to ask the referee for a foul. He thought this time it was definitely a 2+1.

The referee ignored it, but the Chinese team's score advantage has been reduced to only 7 points.

"coach!"

Zhou Lin is undoubtedly a little anxious. If this continues, the score will be further narrowed, and the momentum of the German team has been fully raised at night, and he wants to play!
"Good shot, Sun Yue faced the opponent's forward Swann Schulz, and made a three-pointer for the second time in this quarter. Although Schulz was three centimeters taller than Sun Yue, Sun Yue still didn't shoot well. Without hesitation, it can be seen from this ball that the Chinese team has not completely lost confidence."

Yunas didn't answer Zhou Lin immediately, but at the stage of Yunas' consideration, a three-pointer from Sun Yue's side also made Yunus suppress the idea of ​​replacing Zhou Lin first.

"Wait!" Yunas held Zhou Lin who was about to move.

55-45!

The difference of 10 points is considered safe. Zhou Lin sat down with peace of mind for the time being, but it is impossible for the German team to stop like this. Dirk Nowitzki, as the commander of the German team, took the lead in the charge. Although his height reached 214cm, But the speed under his feet was not slow at all. After shaking Yi Jianlian continuously, he broke into the inside line. This time the referee finally blew his whistle.

Nuo Tianwang stood on the free throw line and scored the 17th and 18th points of the game with free throws.

55-47!

In the next round, the ball was given to Yao Ming, and Chris Kaman's top defense also exhausted his strength. Yao Ming turned around and made a shot, but the German team quickly played a fast break ball, which directly took the ball. Two points were made up.

57-49!The point difference was still 10 points, and the time in the third quarter was running out. Looking back, Chris Kaman moved and hit Yao Ming, reducing the point difference to 8 points.

Wang Shipeng, who was replaced, missed an outside shot. According to history, Wang Shipeng, who had a lot of roles in this Olympic Games, was compressed because Zhou Linding took the third position and Zhu Fangyu went to the second position. He is very small, and Zhou Lin couldn't play in the second half today, so he was replaced, but it is indeed very reluctant to ask him to play a microwave-like role now.

The German team relied on the small guard Dedmond Green to come up, and finally fixed the score in the third quarter at 6 points.

In a single quarter, the Chinese team was chased by 9 points, and the disadvantage of Zhou Lin's absence has already emerged.

"week!"

Yunus glanced at Zhou Lin. Zhou Lin stood up again. There was no game for a whole quarter. Zhou Lin stood up, warmed up a little, and then took off his short training sleeves.

In the studio, Sun Zhengping saw Zhou Lin taking off his training short sleeves and said excitedly: "It seems that Zhou Lin is fine. It should be that Coach Yunus didn't let him play in order to protect Zhou Lin. In the fourth quarter In the competition, Zhou Lin will make his debut again."

Zhang Weiping said a little more cautiously: "However, Zhou Lin still needs to be careful, and he must protect himself."

At the start of the fourth quarter, Zhou Lin came on stage again wearing the red No. 12 jersey of the Chinese team, while Yao Ming was replaced to rest. He partnered with Yi Jianlian, Wang Zhizhi, and Chen Jianghua to start the game.

This time, Nowitzki directly took the position. Facing Mavericks teammate Wang Zhizhi, he directly used a mid-range pull-up to quickly narrow the score to 4 points.

57-53!

"Now the Chinese team urgently needs to score."

As he said that, Chen Jianghua rushed one, but facing the opponent's guard Dedmond Green, Chen Jianghua suffered too much in the confrontation. Although he finally rushed to the basket, the completion of the action after the confrontation was not good. The throw directly hit the front of the backboard, but fortunately, Yi Jianlian protected the offensive rebound. When Yi Jianlian gave the ball to Zhou Lin, he used his back to cover Zhou Lin. Zhou Lin received the ball , without hesitation, directly made a three-point shot!
Swish!A three-pointer was hit. At this moment, the audience was boiling. Yao Ming on the bench also stood up, waved a towel and shouted: "Strike, Xiao Zhou, strike."

Teacher Sun Zhengping and coach Zhang Weiping in the studio, the only thing they could say was: "Good shot, good shot."

After calming down a bit, Zhang Weiping analyzed: "Zhou Lin's outside shooting ability is definitely at the NBA level. He can shoot 37% from inside and outside in the NBA, and the three-point line of the International Blue League is even closer. Some."

"It can only be said that Zhou Lin is a very stable player. Whenever the Chinese team needs to score, he can stand up, and this is based on the premise that he has been injured once."

"If Zhou Lin hadn't been injured today, I'm afraid the current score would be even bigger. Although Zhou Lin only took four shots today, he hit three of them. Now he has contributed 3 points, 8 assists and 7 rebounds. 5 blocks, it can be said to be quite comprehensive and efficient."

60-53!

The score was extended to 7 points again.

The German team wanted to rely on insider Chris Kaman to play against the United Arab Emirates, but at the moment they were suddenly flanked by Zhou Lin, causing Chris Kaman to make a mistake. The Chinese team wanted to push forward with a quick break, but Chen Jianghua He made a mistake again here. He was a little anxious for success, but was given an offensive foul by the more experienced defender Dedmond Green.

"Chen Jianghua's experience should be lacking. Compared with Liu Wei, Chen Jianghua's characteristics are very prominent. He is fast and dares to shoot. He has performed brilliantly against strong teams such as the US team and Spain before. , but the current Chen Jianghua still can't control the rhythm, he is the most qualified defender if he can be fast or slow, and he still has a lot of learning process."

Yunas directly brought Liu Wei up ahead of time. At such a critical time, mistakes are not a big deal.

The German team is also in a hurry to chase points. Defender Stefan Hamann directly pulled out a three-pointer, and Sun Yue also put enough pressure on the opponent's shot. Liu Wei took the rebound and pushed forward quickly. Zhou Lin caught the ball on the weak side and chose to let Zhou Lin play a one-on-one match against the opponent's small forward Konard Visoć. Qi is also a forward who grew up under the American basketball system. Although he is a standard-sized small forward and is more than an inch shorter than Zhou Lin, he is very aggressive in confrontation. Zhou Lin did not rush to make a move after this detailed singles. Akira draws a foul and walks to the free-throw line to score.

"Zhou Lin's game is very smart. It's here to make your shooting foul. This sophisticated style of play makes me feel like Zhou Lin is not like a 21-year-old young athlete."

Watching Zhou Lin walk to the free throw line, Zhang Weiping said with emotion.

Zhou Lin made two free throws and helped the team lead by 61 points 53-8.

The Chinese team asked Yao Ming to replace Yi Jianlian when Zhou Lin made a free throw, while the German men's basketball team replaced old point guard Pascal Roller with Tefan Harman and the other three. The guilty Femerin also appeared again.

The lineup of the German team has become a bit strange, with three players over seven inches tall and two small guards who are less than 1.9 meters tall to play this critical tearing period.

On the other hand, Zhou Lin directly faced up to Dirk Nowitzki.

The idea of ​​the German team chasing points is actually very simple. It is to strengthen the shooting and at the same time strengthen the competition for rebounds. The disadvantage of this lineup is that the breakthrough ability will be a little bit lacking. After all, a guard who is 1.8 meters and 1.85 meters does not dare to be tall at all. The hinterland of China's insiders is full of people.

However, the intention of the German team was still realized in the first round. The most aggressive defender of the German team, Pascal Basil, faced Liu Wei, who was about ten centimeters taller than him, and was directly one meter away from the three-point line. Biao, a three-pointer, narrowed the score to 5 points again.

61-56!

There are still 5 minutes and 32 seconds left.

Yao Ming got the ball inside, but facing the opponent's top three lineup, Yao Ming's shooting was still affected. After the German team got the rebound, there was a possibility of further narrowing the score.

Dirk Nowitzki wants to play Zhou Lin in the low post. Although Dirk Nowitzki does not belong to the kind of inside line with muscular arms, but after all, his height and weight are there, Zhou Lin is also a little bit defensive. Some were at a disadvantage, but at the moment when Zhou Lin was resisted, Yao Ming stood up to help Zhou Lin, took off hard, and directly blocked Dirk Nowitzki.

In order to block the ball, Yao Ming had already fought hard, and Wang Zhizhi and Femorin got the ball almost at the same time. Finally, the referee whistled that the ball was a scrimmage!

The heights of the two are similar, but in the end Femorin was lucky enough to help the German team get the ball. On the side of the small guard Basil, he made a shooting posture from outside the three-point line, forcing Liu Wei to jump up. He nimbly entered the inside line. Now Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi have not returned yet, so the inside line of the Chinese team is still a bit empty. Just when Basil's side was about to score a goal, Zhou Lin suddenly appeared out of nowhere and slapped him directly. Slap the ball that must have been scored with a slap.

This is already Zhou Lin's third block in this game, and also the second time he has blocked a shot.

"Basil has handled it very smartly, because the Chinese team is afraid of Basil's three-pointer, and is less prepared for breakthroughs. However, Zhou Lin is still very smart, following behind Basil, even if It's still too late to dance later than Basil."

Sun Zhengping said.

Zhang Weiping said: "The offense of the Chinese team is not good, but now the Chinese team still has a 5-point lead, so the German team must get more points to win, so I think the Chinese team is now The defense of the basketball team is more important than the offense, of course, there are still more than 4 minutes, and if the Chinese team has the opportunity, they must play more proactively."

The ball returned to the Chinese team. Liu Wei gave Sun Yue, who felt good in this quarter, a shot. Unfortunately, Sun Yue's fourth shot in this quarter came out of the frame. Although Dedmond Green defended him He was about half a head shorter than him.

Dirk Nowitzki forcibly pulled out Zhou Lin in the middle distance. Nowitzki's shot was high and he was independent with the golden rooster. It was really difficult for Zhou Lin to defend. What's more, the current Zhou Lin doesn't dare to jump easily, and this Dirk Nowitzki is also full of fake moves.

61-58!

The score came to a gap of 3 points again, with 4 minutes and 08 seconds left.

Sun Zhengping said: "During this time, the German team played well, and the point difference was caught up to only 3 points. Now the Chinese team needs someone to stand up."

At this time, Yao Ming ran out and set up a pick-and-roll for Liu Wei, and the position of the pick-and-roll was very high. The German team was very aggressive. Yao Ming was holding the ball in a high position. At this moment, Zhou Lin suddenly ran back to the basket. Nowitzki realized that it was too late. Yao Ming passed the ball in time. After Zhou Lin received the ball from the basket, Femolin also rushed up. Zhou Lin quickly passed the ball from the opponent's armpit. Wang Zhizhi, while Wang Zhizhi scored with a soft touch, he also made Nowitzki's foul.

Sun Zhengping said excitedly: "Strike the ball, Dazhi hit it really skillfully, and the touch is still delicate, but half of the credit for this ball should be credited to Xiao Zhou."

Zhang Weiping echoed: "Actually, Xiao Zhou also had an opportunity, but Zhou Lin played really selflessly. If you say that the shot just now really got up directly from the basket, but there is a possibility of being blocked, and it was given to Wang Zhizhi." Over there, there is a complete opportunity, how many assists did Xiao Zhou have?"

Sun Zhengping replied: "8. In this game, there is absolutely a chance to hit a double-double. Currently, the score and assists are 8."

"This is not the first time that Big Zhi and Xiao Zhou have cooperated like this. Big Zhi's movements are delicate and soft, and he is very stable when he catches and shoots. At this stage, although Yi Jianlian has stronger impact and rebounds, but in the On the issue of pairing with Zhou Lin, I think Wang Zhizhi would be slightly better."

Although many people are looking forward to the growth of the "Zhou Yi" group, if the compatibility of Zhou Lin and Yi Jianlian's style is 80%, then the compatibility of Zhou Lin and Wang Zhizhi is more than 95%. Although the physical fitness is not as good as Yi Jianlian, But Wang Zhizhi's three-point ability and some running positions are much better than the current Yi Jianlian, especially in the international arena, the current Wang Zhizhi's effect is worse than Yi Jianlian.

Wang Zhizhi walked to the free throw line and made a steady free throw. Wang Zhizhi also scored 10 points in this game.

There are 3 minutes and 42 seconds left in the time, 64-58!

As far as the German team is concerned, time is becoming less and less tense for them. Dirk Nowitzki made another shot from the outside, but Zhou Lin still used his height to slightly influence Nuo Tianwang. After throwing it in, he patted himself on the head helplessly.

It is worth mentioning that in this Olympic Games, most of the players on the German men's basketball team put forward the hairstyle of the five Olympic rings on their foreheads, except for those with thin hair like Basil. How important is the men's basketball game in an Olympic Games?

"The German team missed a three-pointer, and the Chinese team has a chance to expand the score."

As a high fortress, Wang Zhizhi also shot from outside the three-point line, but this time the shot was too biased, so it was a three-point shot. Of course, the Chinese team almost used up all the time in this round.

The German team advanced quickly. Basil rushed into the inside this time. A small guard with an actual height of only 1.75 meters, he hit a throw before the Chinese men's basketball team could reach a high height.

Jonas was the first to call a timeout. Although the Chinese team is still leading by 64 points 60-4, the game time has entered within 3 minutes.

Back from the timeout, the Chinese team ran a cover and cut the ball inside. Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi continued to pick and roll for Zhou Lin to enter the inside line. However, Chris Kaman's long arm interfered with Zhou Lin, and the ball failed to make a shot. However, Zhou Lin Lin grabbed the offensive rebound, and immediately jumped up on the spot, dunking one!
Although Zhou Lin didn't put it into the basket immediately, Zhou Lin quickly changed the ball from a layup to a dunk, and the Chinese team once again scored 6 points.

There are still 2 minutes and 33 seconds. For the German team, the time is getting less and less, and the Chinese team suddenly put up a tight defense. In the past, only European and American teams played such a tactic at critical moments. , And this time it is the turn of the Chinese team to use such tactics to torture the German team.

Basil's height on the court is really at a disadvantage. Once the ball is stopped, he will be double-teamed by two players who are at least 10 cm taller than him. Basil wants to pass a long pass to Nowitzki, but the ball It was judged by Zhou Lin and he succeeded in stealing directly.

Zhou Lin made a fast attack, but this time Zhou Lin did not complete the layup by himself, but gave it to Yi Jianlian who followed up. Poor Pascal Basil became Yi Jianlian's background board and was directly dunked!
68-60!

At 2 minutes and 23 seconds, the lead of the Chinese team came to 8 points again, and the head coach of the German men's basketball team immediately requested a timeout.

For the German team, the current national team has one foot on the edge of a cliff.

"The Chinese team's defense at critical moments is really good."

Sun Zhengping said: "There are only 2 minutes and 23 seconds left. If the Chinese team can defend it, it means that they have entered the quarterfinals of the Olympic Games!"

Naturally, the German team will not let it go so easily.

As the first brother of the national team, Dirk Nowitzki helped the team recover two points with a difficult goal as soon as he returned to the court.

Under the instruction of Jonas, the Chinese team began to press the time. After almost 24 seconds were exhausted, Liu Wei shot a three-pointer, but it missed.

Originally, the German team had the possibility of continuing to chase points.

And at this critical moment, Yi Jianlian grabbed this valuable offensive rebound, allowing the Chinese team to consume another 14 seconds. This time the ball was in the hands of Zhou Lin. Zhou Lin released the ball when there were 5 seconds left in the time. However, after taking a step, he found that Yi Jianlian had a chance from outside the three-pointer. Zhou Lin attracted most of the attention. This time he gave the ball to Yi Jianlian, who was almost completely open.

Yi Jianlian seemed to be stepping down, adjusted his position, and then shot, before the red light came on, the key hit!

"Yi Jianlian, here we go, a three-pointer!"

Sun Zhengping shouted loudly: "This ball gradually disappeared the suspense of the game. Now there is 1 minute and 28 seconds left, and the Chinese team led by 71 points 62-9. The opponent needs at least 3 rounds to catch up with the score." Come back, and if you have to score 3 points in a row!"

Yi Jianlian ran up and had a chest bump with Zhou Lin!

Everyone thought that Zhou Lin was going to pass the ball by himself, but they didn't expect Zhou Lin to pass it!
Looking back, it was imperative for the German team to grab a three-pointer. Unfortunately, Basil and Tao Lin missed both three-pointers. Although Chris Kaman was relying on offensive rebounds , scored 2 points, but this is not thirsty, and this offense wasted too much time.

58 seconds!
With a 7-point advantage, the Chinese team must have consumed all 24 seconds. In the end, the ball was given to Yao Ming inside. Yao Ming made Chris Kaman's fifth foul on the inside!
Chris Kaman was sent off, and Yao Ming had to go to the free throw line.

2 free throws hit steadily!

73-64!

With 37 seconds left in the game, Dirk Nowitzki tried to make an outside shot, but failed to make a shot. Finally, the German men's basketball team raised the white flag. Nowitzki was replaced and his head Buried in a white towel, I guess it's a bit annoyed!
The Chinese team got the ball for 24 seconds and did not attack. Femorin scored a goal under the basket, but it has nothing to do with the overall situation.

73-66!

When the game time ran out, all the Chinese men's basketball players jumped out, gathered in a circle, hugged wildly, and the applause on the scene lasted for a long time. The collective bowed to thank the fans present for their support!

The studio was full of joy, and Sun Zhengping couldn't hide his excitement and said: "Congratulations to the Chinese men's basketball team for qualifying ahead of schedule with 3 victories. In this game, the Chinese team played very well. Although there are no high-scoring players, but Every player played their own characteristics! This is a team victory!"

Looking at the German men's basketball team celebrating the Chinese men's basketball team, their faces were extremely solemn, because the Chinese team qualified ahead of time, which meant that the German men's basketball team was eliminated early. Even if they could win the American men's basketball team in the last game, they could not reverse it God has changed!
"Although I'm not reconciled, I still congratulate you for qualifying in the group. In the next game, you have to work hard!" Although Dirk Nowitzki was very unwilling, he still congratulated the Chinese men's basketball team in a very gracious manner.

"Great player, I salute you!" Zhou Lin said respectfully while hugging Dirk Nowitzki.

"Go and wrestle with the European giants!" Dirk Nowitzki patted Zhou Lin's chest and said, "See you at the All-Stars next season!"

"Thanks, Dirk!"

Dirk Nowitzki's back is a little lonely. In this game, only Nowitzki scored in double figures in the German team.

26 points and 8 rebounds!

而中国队这边呢，姚明砍下全队最高的12分7篮板，周林则是有10分10助攻6篮板3盖帽的数据，另外易建联有11分6篮板，王治郅和刘炜都是9分，孙悦也有8分入账……

"Even if the Chinese team lost to the Greek team in the last game, they were able to enter the quarter-finals with three wins. The boys of the Chinese men's basketball team can sleep well tonight. They have worked hard!" Sun Zhengping concluded the live broadcast with these words.
