Chapter 522 World Cup Quota
After the start of the second half, the inside line of the Chinese team first started their offense, and the effect was very good.The two insiders also started their commitment to Ansheng at the beginning, and they must tie the score before the three quarters.

Yi Jianlian was double-teamed as soon as he received the ball inside. According to the style of play in the first half, at this time, he would distribute the ball to find his teammates and let them score. But this time, he chose to continue to play hard !The goal is very clear, that is, to get points, to get points yourself.After a direct lean, he chose a clear fadeaway shot, and the basketball flew directly from the defensive player's palm and fell to the basket.

This made Chinese Taipei's defense a bit unusable. Their idea was to pinch the inside and try to let the opponent's outside end. In the first half, the Chinese team's offense was exactly as they thought.

But now, Yi Jianlian's determination on the offensive end is beyond your imagination. At least in the first round, this offense played beautifully.The coach of the Chinese Taipei team waved his hand, indicating that they will be more determined to attack Yi Jianlian, and must not give him more opportunities.

But now Yi Jianlian is not the only one who is going crazy. Wang Zhizhi is also the one who made the promise in midfield. He did not choose the inside line because Yi Jianlian already exists inside the line. It was even more difficult to play. In the first half, the two players were all stacked inside, leaving them with no room to move.

And the reason why Yi Jianlian played so easily under the double-team on the inside just now is because Yi Jianlian has already moved his position from left to right, which is very comfortable to move.

Now, Wang Zhizhi is now outside the three-point line, and he made a fake move directly outside the three-point line to shake the defense. His three-point ability is also a very obvious threat. When he was in the NBA, Wang Zhizhi entered that league. He has always been known as a three-point power forward who can open up space, so, on this point, the Chinese Taipei team absolutely dare not let him shoot easily.

But it was too late for the Chinese Taipei team to double-team after the point, and the veteran who was about to retire chose to end this attack with an uncommon dunk at this time.

He is more of a technical insider, with swaying footsteps, three-pointers, mid-range shots, and post-ups at the basket. These are what he is better at, while Yi Jianlian uses more dunks to deter opponents, and At this moment, in order to wake up his players, Wang Zhizhi spared no effort to blow the horn of counterattack with dunks.

It's just that for the Chinese Taipei team, it is impossible to let them give up just like this. The two sides fought extremely fiercely in the third quarter, and among several consecutive fouls, the game also became fragmented. They can't live in the inside line of the Chinese team, but they don't hesitate to use fouls to make the Chinese team score easily.

The two sides entangled the game and finished the third quarter, and the two insiders almost worked hard and finally fulfilled their promise to An Sheng and surpassed by two points, but now this is already exhausting for them.

In the fourth quarter, Chinese Taipei once again regained their status on the perimeter. Taking advantage of the absence of Yi Jianlian and Wang Zhizhi, they played a wave of extremely strong attacks. First, Lin Zhijie hit a high ball directly against the defense at the top of the arc. Difficult three-pointer, and then used the three-pointer to score the Chinese team's aggressive defense against the three-point line and caused a three-pointer foul.

After losing 6 points in a row, the Taiwan team once again regained a 4-time lead, which was a waste of time in the third quarter, and the bloody fight between the two insiders in the third quarter did not wake them up.With 6 minutes to play, the Chinese Taipei team led by about 10 points.

"It's over, it's over. This time it seems that I really have to go back with the worst record in history, and I'm going to be a sinner of Chinese basketball!" Wang Zhizhi lowered his head, a little helpless, in a world competition that he was about to retire, It doesn't seem like a good gift to retire with the fifth place in Asia.

"There is still hope, but the difference is just 10 points. As long as we defend well, there will be no problem!" Silver Fox began to get really anxious. He also wanted to take this team to the World Cup next year to challenge, but First of all, he can't return to China with the worst record in history, otherwise even the bronze medal in last year's Olympic Games may not necessarily become his amulet.

Compared with the coaches and players on the field, the fans watching this game in front of the TV are more pessimistic, and the banners in the hands of those players who came all the way to cheer for the Chinese team became weak when they raised their banners. They faced such difficulties in the quarter-finals, which they did not expect.

"I miss the days when An Sheng was there. Now if An Sheng can play, I even have 100% confidence in this game!"

"Brother, let An Sheng's career be longer! If we are destined to have a brilliant victory, I hope it will be the World Cup next year. In my opinion, the championship of the Asian Championships is not as valuable as the top 8 of the World Cup! "

"There is absolutely no doubt about recovering from the injury and playing again! I don't want to see An Sheng get injured again! I'm still waiting for the Clippers' two consecutive championships next year!"

Although many fans are still full of confidence in next year's World Cup despite An Sheng not being able to play to save this losing game, a fan who has studied more about the World Cup suddenly reminded them of one thing.

"The quota for next year's World Cup is the champion and runner-up of the Asian Championships this time and the champion of the qualifiers in April next year, and there is only one quota! And An Sheng is doomed not to participate in that game. At that time, it will be the playoffs. In time, it is impossible for An Sheng to return to China to compete, with this Chinese team without An Sheng, are you really confident that we can win that spot now?"

After this sentence appeared in the post, almost all Chinese fans started to check related questions, and found that it was indeed like what the previous netizen said, there were only 3 places in Asia, and this time the champion and runner-up occupied two.

Originally, the Asian overlord, even if he stumbled and did not win the championship and runner-up, he should be invincible in the qualifiers without the two strongest teams. However, the biggest problem is that the current Chinese team is not even at the top 4 level. No!For the Chinese team who want to play in the World Cup, they seem to be in a desperate situation now.
