Chapter 430 A Historical Breakthrough
Xu Hao's premonition was very accurate. Argentina put their strongest lineup on the field at the beginning of the fourth quarter. The four core players, including Ginobili and Delfino, did not continue to rest. last-ditch.For them, if they can't win this game, there is no need to save energy or anything.

With such determination, Argentina showed their strength as the world's top team. They beat China 1-27 in 9 minute and 0 seconds. Both offense and defense have improved by more than one level than before. China's lead has been eaten away.Deng Huade gritted his teeth and refused to call a timeout. He was betting that the players could survive this wave.

The Huaxia players on the field did not disappoint Deng Huade's trust, especially Xu Hao, who stood up and started to connect the team's offense.Although Yao Ming is still resting off the court at this time, there are two top shooters Wang Shipeng and Zhu Fangyu on the outside, and Yi Jianlian and Ding Jinghui on the inside are never afraid of hitting the basket. When they recovered, they immediately withstood the Argentine Indiscriminate bombing.Xu Hao knew very well that as long as he could hold on to his breath, the victory of this match would be assured.

After attacking madly for nearly 4 minutes, Argentina had to slow down their offensive for the simple reason that their core players were not young anymore.In the past few minutes, although they narrowed the point difference to single digits in one go, they basically relied on their own inner enthusiasm. When they realized that they could not surpass Huaxia, they vented their anger.

Argentina's deep foundation allowed them to maintain a relatively high level of offense, but Xu Hao keenly felt their sluggishness.After getting Deng Huade's permission, Xu Hao quickly increased the team's offensive and defensive speed. Huaxia players followed him on the field like a gust of wind, constantly interspersed and ran among Argentina's defense lines, and the rapid conversion of offense was in full swing. .Argentina was directly stunned, everyone was out of breath and couldn't keep up.

Relying on Xu Hao's full-court scheduling, Huaxia opened the point difference to double digits. Just when Lamas was about to make adjustments, Deng Huade gave him a fatal blow: he took advantage of a dead ball to beat Yao Ming To change to the field.

This was undoubtedly the straw that broke the camel's back.In the previous offense and defense, Argentina's main players had exhausted a lot of physical strength, and the inside line was even more miserable. Although Yao Ming slowed down the team's game rhythm after his appearance, he could get whatever he wanted inside, and Xu Hao could also rest for a while. Just hang the ball inside to Yao Ming.

After Yao Ming scored 8 points in a row, Argentina was completely defeated. They had nothing to do with this top center.Scola and Gutierrez couldn't stop Yao Ming's post-up singles in the interior, and sometimes their full defense would get personal fouls, which made things worse.Lamas was also full of despair. He didn't expect that the team's journey in this Olympic Games would end here. Now it seems that the goal of winning medals before the game is more like a joke.

The situation on the field is already obvious, and it is almost a certainty that China will win this game.Although they had gained a sufficient lead, everyone played very cautiously on the court, and they couldn't make waves at all. This was also specifically requested by Deng Huade during the intermission.In his view, as long as he can play steadily and not casually, he can continue to grasp the advantage.

Seeing that the end of the game is getting closer and closer, Huaxia's substitute players can't sit still. They stand side by side side by side with excited expressions on their faces. As long as their teammates complete a successful attack or defense, they will Frantically waving towels and yelling and cheering for teammates, there is nothing more inspiring for them.

Deng Huade was not as excited as they were, but sat quietly on the chair, but the smile on the corner of his mouth revealed his good mood.Two years ago, he led China into the top eight of the World Championships, which is already a rare good record in the history of China's men's basketball team, but now in the Olympic Games, the team can go one step further and reach the top four, which is already History has been made.

So far, the best result of the Huaxia men's basketball team in the Olympics is No.8. It has achieved this in 1996, 2004 and 2008, but this is already the limit.But this time China's ranking is no longer No. 8. After defeating Argentina, they will get a valuable ticket to the semi-finals, and they can get a No. 4 at least.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and Argentina never hit a scoring climax and was approaching the score. When the final whistle sounded, Ginobili squatted down slowly like a robot with a power cut off, covering his hands with his hands. own face, not to let others see his tears.For Ginobili, this result is difficult to accept. Four years later, he will be 39 years old and will no longer have the opportunity to compete in the Olympics. on the Olympic field.But now, Argentina was eliminated in the quarter-finals, and did not even make it to the quarter-finals.

You must know that before the start of the Olympic Games, Ginobili once expressed in an interview that he hoped to lead Argentina to win a medal this time. Even if the miracle of the 2004 Athens Olympic Games cannot be replicated, a bronze medal is also good.It's a pity that now they don't even have the qualifications to compete for medals. After losing this game, they have already been blocked from the top four.

In stark contrast to him were all the Huaxia players. They rushed to the field screaming and celebrating the victory with their teammates. Even Deng Huade, who has always been strict, did not stop their behavior.This time they have made history. This is the first time in the history of the Chinese men's basketball team to reach the semi-finals. Under such a background, it is understandable how crazy the celebration is.

Of course, the country was already in a state of shock at this time. The fans were basically watching this game with bated breath, and when their own team took the lead, they did not get carried away, for fear that they would kill the national team in one breath.But now that the game is over, they can finally unbridledly celebrate reaching the Olympic semifinals for the first time in men's basketball history.

Looking at the teammates who were shouting and laughing on the field, Xu Hao also smiled slightly. He knew that there were more severe challenges waiting for everyone, but for them, celebrating victory is the first priority. As for How to play in the semi-finals, it is better to put it aside first.After exceeding the task, they have nothing to worry about.
