Chapter 248
Although the Chinese men's basketball team does not have the strong personal ability of the American players, and the teamwork is not as well-trained as the European teams, but relying on Yao Ming's huge dominance in the interior, coupled with Channing's organizational ability and part of the firepower on the outside Supplement, and a group of high-spirited teammates, coupled with the buff blessing of the home game at home, they can still wrestle with top teams such as the United States and Spain, at least in the first half.

But the situation changed in the second half. Under the test of high-intensity games, the physical strength of the entire Chinese team members began to have problems, and then they would lose concentration, miss long-range shots, miss defensively, and lose rebounds. .

What's more deadly is that the core Yao Ming's offensive efficiency also dropped sharply in the second half due to the impact of his physical strength. In addition, the opponent will increase his strength in the second half, all kinds of full-court pressing, counterattack three-pointers, so the Chinese team watched helplessly. The great lead was overtaken until the game was lost.

This is true for the United States, and it is also true for Spain. The difference is that the American team gradually increased their intensity throughout the game, while Spain experienced various waves in the first three quarters. After falling behind by 16 points and entering the fourth quarter, they suddenly awakened.

Maybe it was enough waves, maybe it was the scolding of the players by coach Reenses at the end of the third quarter that had an effect. As soon as the game entered the last quarter, the Spanish team was like a different team, unusually fierce.

Bomb Navarro, who replaced Rubio as the starting point guard in the second half, stood up at the beginning of the fourth quarter and hit two consecutive unreasonable three-pointers on top of Liu Wei, sounding the clarion call for Spain's counterattack.

Liu Wei has been defending desperately, but the height gap, especially in confrontation, makes him unable to restrain Navarro. After all, Liu Wei is only a player who has won a 10-day short contract with an NBA team. Compared with this kind of NBA rotation-level star and the king of Europe, there is still a gap in grade.

After Navarro broke through and made a small throw again, Spain played a wave of 8:0 offensive superbly.

Coach Jonas quickly called a timeout. After Spain suddenly turned on the desperate mode, the Chinese team was very uncomfortable with this intensity. Yao Ming, Chen Ning, and Ah Lian hit the iron one after another. Coupled with Liu Wei's lack of defense, the final game was completely caught opponent's tempo.

Only 2 minutes into the fourth quarter, the Spanish team evened out half of the 16-point difference.

Such a terrifying ability to chase points made the Chinese men's basketball players feel great pressure, and the audience gasped, unable to believe what happened before them.

"This, this is the strength of Spain. They were the world champions in 06."

Director Zhang Weiping didn't know what to say for a while. In just 2 minutes, Spain beat the Chinese team back to its original shape. This oppressive feeling made everyone present very uncomfortable.

"They are world champions, we can't win, right?"

The fans at the scene were full of worries about the Chinese team.

Coach Jonas did two things during the timeout, substitutions and chicken soup.

"Keep it up, lads, and kill Spain by the throat, I'm sure you can do it!"

Sun Yue replaced Liu Wei, Sun Yue, Qian Ning, Zhu Ba, Ah Lian, and Yao Ming. This five-man team is the most powerful five-man team in the Chinese team in terms of offense and defense. With the last 8 minutes left in the game, Yona Coach Si isn't going to make substitutions anymore, so he will rely on these five people to fight to the end.

Although Wang Zhizhi felt very good tonight, Jonas lacked confidence in general defense and rebounding. The more critical the moment, these head coaches became more stubborn and only believed in superstars.

Before Channing's rebirth, many fans said that the last moment was not enough, which was the fatal reason for the loss to Spain. This time, Jonas still insisted on himself.

As a player, Channing has no attitude towards this, and he can't change things beyond his circle of competence. Channing will only focus on the game.

The Spanish team began to press the ball from the serve. Navarro, Rudy, and Reyes were like tarsus worms, tightly entangled with the Chinese team.

However, for the backcourt combination of Chan Ning and Sun Yue, they have tried the pressing of the American team. Are the Spaniards tighter than the Americans?

Pressing the 8-second line, Channing crossed the half court steadily, dribbling the ball at the top of the arc. Channing is actually already the point guard in this lineup, or in other words, the point forward.

Pressing down with his right hand, Chan Ning signaled his teammates to calm down. Don't be in a hurry at this time. The more anxious you are, the easier it is to make mistakes.

Finding the right timing, Channing lobbed the ball to Yao Ming. Facing the inside line guarded by Gasol and Pau Gasol, Yao Ming failed.

"Ugh."

The fans at the scene couldn't hide the disappointment on their faces.

After entering the fourth quarter, Spain sent the big and small Gasol brothers at the same time, making it very difficult for Yao Ming who was exhausted.

Looking back, Navarro was tightly entangled by Sun Yue, but Gasol suddenly broke out after paddling all night.

Challenging Yao Ming face-to-face, Gasol made good use of his advantage in speed, broke through the bottom line after shaking, and dunked with a three-step backhand.

Gasol shook his blond hair and roared like a lion, while Yao Ming gritted his teeth and walked away silently.

Facing Spain's crazy pursuit of points and Gasol's provocation, Channing was also full of anger. He could see that although Yao Ming had been persevering, his physical strength had really bottomed out, otherwise his defensive steps would not have been so strong. slow.

On the one hand was Yao Ming, who was struggling to maintain his physical strength, and on the other was Yunus, who was stubborn and dared not let Yao Ming rest for a while. Chan Ning decided to come by himself.

After halftime, Sun Yue habitually looked for Yao Ming, but Qian Ning moved from the weak side and asked for the ball. Subconsciously, Sun Yue passed the ball to his backcourt partner Qian Ning.

"After entering the fourth quarter, due to physical factors and the improvement of Spain's defensive strength, the Chinese team missed four consecutive offenses. This time, we must stabilize and achieve a success rate."

"There are still 13 seconds in the attack time. Channing is holding the ball at the top of the arc. Yao Ming is not in a good position inside, but there is no rush."

Zhang Lili hadn't finished speaking when he saw Qian Ning suddenly make a three-pointer.

"This... is unreasonable!"

"You didn't give it to Yao Ming?!"

With a snap, Yunus stood up suddenly and glared at Channing angrily. His rage startled the interpreter next to him.

Immediately afterwards, with a bang, a three-pointer was hit.

"Hurrey!"

The enthusiasm of the fans who had been silent for a long time burst out again. After more than two minutes of scoring drought, Chen Ning finally stood up and continued his life for the Chinese team with a three-pointer.

Yunus sat down slowly, the muscles on his face relaxed layer by layer, and finally forced a smile uglier than crying to Channing.

Ignoring Yunus at all, looking at his right hand, Channing let out a breath slowly.

This time, he won the bet!
