Chapter 502 The Strength of the King of Europe

After the first quarter, the Chinese team led Spain 30 to 22.

Under FIBA ​​rules, scoring 30 points in a quarter can be said to be a very good offense, because a FIBA ​​quarter only lasts 10 minutes, and the time between scoring and serving is non-stop, so FIBA ​​games are played very quickly. , Being able to score 10 points in 30 minutes is enough to see how strong a team's offense is.

Bai Jidong scored 30 of the 12 points. At the same time, he also played the entire first quarter.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Yunas asked Bai Jidong to go down and let Yao Yue hold on for a while.

Calderon exploded as soon as Bai Jidong left the field.

Let Gasol pick and roll for him, and when he finds a gap, he stops and shoots, fast and steady.

The Chinese team played against Yao Yueban.

The person defending Yao Yueban is Gasol Jr. Although Gasol Jr.'s physical fitness is far from his elder brother's, his defense is good.

Yao Yue banged a few times, but he couldn't get in, so he turned over and shot a jumper, which missed.

Yi Jianlian took the offensive rebound and passed it to Wang Shipeng, who made a three-pointer and missed.

Spain got the rebound and was about to counterattack, but Liu Wei destroyed it.

Then, Spain once again set off a fast and efficient positional attack.

Bai Jidong watched anxiously off the court because he knew what Calderon was going to do.

Tear open the defense line of the Chinese team and score suddenly, this is Calderon's basic routine.

Liu Wei's defense was not good enough, and Calderon made consecutive breakthroughs and split the outside line.

Navarro, who feels hot, took the ball, raised his hand and shot, and hit the fourth three-pointer tonight. Counting the two-pointer, Navarro has scored 16 points.

At the same time, the lead of the Chinese team was also reduced to 3 points.

Yunus walked back and forth, saying: "White Wolf, have you rested?" "I can play anytime." Bai Jidong said.

Yao Yue was successful in the semi-strong fight, Spain did not panic, deployed properly, and flexibly used the outside line to break through.

Calderon stood out from the encirclement, and Carlos Jimenez was rumored.

Jimenez took the ball and made a three-pointer and made a hit.

The point difference was chased to 2 points, and Yunus called a timeout: "White Wolf, you come to defend Calderon!" "No problem." Bai Jidong replied.

"Now the Chinese team must first solve the problem of the defensive end. Calderon cannot be allowed to continue playing like this." Chen Qi is deeply worried about the Chinese team's offense. gone."

"Let's see if Bai Jidong can bring about changes." Yu Jia said.

After Bai Weidong came on stage, the first thing to do was to unblock the teamwork.

Although the Chinese team has two absolute strengths, they can't stick to individual singles. They should use their strengths to connect other people's attacks. This is the way to win.

Spain's defense was not comparable to that in the first quarter. Their defense has been improved to a higher level, and it is difficult for the rest of the Chinese team to find opportunities.

With the situation like this, Bai Jidong can only break through to find space.

Spain defended a zone defense, just waiting for Bai Jidong to break through.

Together with the defense, they were suddenly flanked.

Bai Jidong plays the ball decisively. This is the biggest difference between FIBA ​​and NBA.

Because there is no defense for three seconds, the oppression of the zone defense against the breaker has increased a lot.

Fortunately, Bai Jidong was already prepared, and ran outside after passing the ball.

The Chinese team passed the ball continuously, and Spain defended fiercely without showing the slightest flaw.

In the last few seconds, Bai Weidong took the ball three or four meters away from the three-point line.

There is no time, so we can only shoot.Bai Jidong shot a three-pointer from a long distance. The ball was more than one meter away from the NBA three-point line.

What is frustrating is that the arc of this ball is very positive.

Following everyone's gaze, he flew high into the sky and fell into the basket.

Bai Jidong brought immediate results as soon as he came on the stage. This kind of "nowhere to retreat" bomb ball, others are not sure, but he has it.

The existence of Bai Jidong made everyone in Spain feel deep pressure. As long as he is there, the Chinese team will be difficult to get along with.

Offense first, then defense.

Bai Jidong raised the Chinese team's outside defense to a higher level. He locked Calderon dead, and he was able to take care of the defense.

Every outside line in Spain is under the interference of Bai Jidong, and Calderon is the most restricted.

Because it was his breakthrough that made Spain's outside line blossom steadily, locking him up, and Spain lost an offensive starting point.

Bai Jidong defended Calderon so that he couldn't get into the three-point line. This kind of defense greatly inspired the Chinese team, and the others also defended bravely, showing the momentum to defend Spain to death.

Jimenez got the ball in the last few seconds, and Zhu Fangyu was defending him.

In terms of height and weight, Zhu Fangyu is not inferior to Jimenez.

Zhu Fangyu was originally a power forward, but later changed to a small forward. Most small forwards suffer in front of him.

Jimenez can also be regarded as an elite player in Spain. He is a first-class striker in the world.

I can't stand against Zhu Fangyu, so I can only make a strong shot. Such a shot cannot guarantee a hit rate.

"Good defense!" Yao Yueban roared, took off the rebound and threw it to Liu Wei.

The Chinese team is moving forward steadily and currently leads by 7 points.

Spain still didn't intend to replace Gasol, only to see Yao Yueban running forward at a fast pace, determined to take a position, and stuck Gasol to death.

Liu Wei felt that Yao Yueban was in a good position and threw the ball.

Bai Jidong approached Yao Yueban. If Spain double-teamed Yao Yueban, Yao Yueban could pass the ball to him immediately.

Calderon really wanted to double-team, but he was afraid of Bai Weidong's shooting.

After weighing, it was decided to let Gasol face Yao Yueban's attack alone.

"That guy's defense is good, but you all think too highly of him." Bai Jidong said, "He's facing an All-Star center who can average 20 points per game in the NBA."

"Mark is fine!" Calderon said in a deep voice.

As soon as the words fell, Yao Yueban slammed his head hard, bumped away the little Gasol behind him, turned over and jumped up.

Gasol kept up defensively, but was called a foul by the referee.

Yao Yueban was unaffected and threw the ball softly.

This is what makes people desperate. Obviously you have defended well, but the opponent tells you with an empty goal that you have not done enough.

Little Gasol's eyes were gloomy, a little angry and unwilling.

Yao Yueban clenched his fists with both hands, roared, and high-fived his teammates one by one, walked to the free throw line and scored an additional penalty, extending the lead of the Chinese team to 8 points.

Taking advantage of Yao Yueban's free throw, Spain made adjustments, replacing Jimenez and Navarro with Muburu and Ferrandez.

Spain is a very strong unit, and they can play well even when the strongest killer in this system is not on the court.

Calderon was defended to death by Bai Jidong, which meant that he could no longer use breakthroughs to create opportunities for his teammates.

Muburu used his running position to give himself a chance to run, because Zhu Fangyu's speed couldn't keep up with him.

Muburu ran fast. After getting rid of Zhu Fangyu, he ran from the left side of the paint to the right side. Calderon made a lob from the top of the arc.

Muburu jumped up to catch the ball, twisted his upper body and shot directly.

Yi Jianlian blocked the shot to no avail, the ball hit the basket, jumped a few times, and the ball scored.

"That's the strength of Spain, everyone can score, everyone can be a finisher, everyone has a strong individual ability."

Chen Qi said, "We can't be careless just because Gasol is not on the court. In this game, we not only need the performance of Lao Bai and Dayao, but also other people's contributions."

"Yes, Spain's overall strength is stronger than ours. We can't be careless just because we have Bai Jidong and Dayao. It's not easy to enjoy the shade under the big tree." Yu Jia said.

"Zhu, keep running." Bai Jidong shouted.

Zhu Fangyu nodded, he didn't have many chances to escape tonight.

Spain's targeted defense against him is particularly obvious. The players defending him are all strong and fast-footed people. It is difficult for Zhu Fangyu to miss the opportunity.

Zhu Fangyu circled back and forth a few times, then ran back to the same place, Mubulu was always behind him.

Yao Yueban helped Bai Jidong and Zhu Fangyu set a screen, and then went to the low post to ask for the ball.

Liu Wei passed the ball, and Yao Yueban felt Gasol's defense and knew what to do.

In an instant, Yao Yueban turned right and slipped to the bottom of the basket. Gasol concentrated his strength on Yao Yueban's body, and all his strength was completely removed.

It stands to reason that Yao Yueban should be able to complete a morale-boosting dunk.

However, a Spanish player jumped, unbelievably high.He blocked the 2-meter Yao Yueban head-on, and the player who made such a feat was Rudy Ferrandez.

Yi Jianlian caught up with the ball and was about to slam dunk, but Gasol next to him immediately made him pay the price and slammed down the ball in his hand.

It was a good cap, but the referee called it a foul.

Gasol Jr. didn't argue because he knew that arguing was meaningless. The referee didn't care whether you committed a foul or not.

Yi Jianlian made one of two free throws.

In the subsequent offense, Gasol Jr. came up to pick and roll Calderon.

Although Gasol does not have the agility and physical fitness of his big brother, he has the domineering spirit of his big brother in the international arena.

Yi Jianlian made him a foul, and he was going to fight back.

Gasol Jr. made a strong low-post attack. Three times in a row, Yi Jianlian took a big step back. The final attack caused Yi Jianlian to foul.

This is the tone of the second quarter, the Chinese team can score, and so can Spain.

With Bai Jidong around, it is difficult for Spain to hit a climax, and the point difference has been controlled between 5-8 points.

For the Chinese team, although the first half was smooth, it was not easy.

Gasol was replaced after only a few minutes in the first half due to injury, and the Chinese team was able to take the lead in the first half.

Everyone knows that the first half was just the beginning.

If Gasol can play in the second half, this game will usher in the final decisive battle.

Although Spain is strong, if there is no Gasol, then it is not the Spain that is proud of Europe and dares to challenge the dream team.

PS: Four changes today, finish writing the semi-finals, and finish writing the finals tomorrow in one go, and then let the chapters of the national team go to hell!
