The Godfather of Basketball

"Nice job." Tang Tian patted Yi Jianlian on the shoulder when he left the field.

Yi Jianlian's performance in these two minutes definitely deserves such encouragement.

Back in the second quarter, Tang Tian continued to send Yi Jianlian to the field. At this time, his partner was still Wang Zhizhi, and the remaining three were Sun Yue, Wang Shipeng and Li Nan.

On the Spanish side, Gasol Jr. and Navarro reappeared, and the remaining three were Reyes, Garbajosa and Lopez.

Aito replaced Gasol Jr. at this time, obviously to use him to limit Yi Jianlian.

As soon as the Spanish team's offense came up, Navarro and Gasol Jr. made a high-position pick-and-roll, and after disassembling, they directly chose a mid-range shot.

Wang Zhizhi's footsteps were not slow, and he interfered with it.

"boom!"

Navarro's shot missed, and Yi Jianlian received a defensive rebound.

Sun Yue held the ball for halftime, but at this time the Chinese team suddenly changed their style of play, and the ball did not reach Wang Zhizhi's hands again.

Wang Zhizhi, Wang Shipeng and Li Nan all stretched to the two sides, and Sun Yue and Yi Jianlian directly played a pick-and-roll attack at the top of the circle.

One block, one dismantle.

Sun Yue went straight to the basket.

Because of Yi Jianlian's excellent touch before, Lopez, who switched defenses, did not dare to double-team at will, and Sun Yue got the chance to play Gasol one-on-one.

The two are teammates of the Rockets, and they know each other well. Sun Yue accelerated and forced Gasol to retreat, followed by a jumper with an emergency stop and retreat.

Gasol's movement speed is a bit slow, and he can't jump out after retreating.

"boom!"

Sun Yue's shot hit the backboard and bounced into the basket.

23 to 18, the Chinese team's lead came to 5 points, which was the biggest difference between the two sides after the opening.

There were bursts of cheers.

Looking back, Navarro did not play after receiving the ball, but signaled Gasol to play in a low position.

Wang Zhizhi couldn't stand Gasol Jr., so Yi Jianlian could only come to help defend, but as soon as he assisted in the defense, Gasol Jr. gave the ball to teammate Garbajosa, who directly put the basket and scored.

Gasol has played in the national team for a long time, and he has a good understanding with these old teammates.

The Chinese team did not restrict Gasol Jr., but when he turned around to shoot, Sun Yue and Yi Jianlian played a pick-and-roll at the top three-point line.

This time, Garbajosa on the weak side came to help defend, and Sun Yue directly passed the ball to Wang Zhizhi.

Wang Zhizhi moved with a beautiful footstep, avoiding Gasol to pick the basket and score.

Gasol Jr. continued to overwhelm the inside, but the Spanish team couldn't do much with the Chinese team's pick-and-roll.

Lopez tried to recover the double-team, but Sun Yue returned to Yi Jianlian, who continued his previous excellent touch and scored a three-pointer.

The game fell into a stalemate from the second quarter, and the Chinese team has maintained a weak lead of 5-6 points.

After halftime, the Chinese team led the Spanish team 42 to 37.

The situation is still unpredictable.

During the intermission, Tang Tian didn't show up in the locker room, but sat in the office and kept drawing with the tactics board.

Aito, as an old coach for decades, is also the Spanish coach whose ability is second only to Hernandez, so he is obviously not a vegetarian.

In the last match between the two teams, he used Battelle to successfully restrain Gasol Jr., but Aito learned his lesson this time and always put Navarro and Gasol Jr. on the field together.

In this way, as long as he continues to use Battelle, with Navarro's ability, he will find Gasol Jr. to pick and roll.

In addition, neither Yi Jianlian nor Wang Zhizhi can stand up to Gasol Jr. This is a bit like what some fans think. He cultivated another big BUG for the Spanish team in the Rockets.

Can I only go to Yao Ming?

But if he plays Yao Ming, his stamina will be a problem until the fourth quarter.

Physical strength, physical strength...

In high-intensity basketball games, basketball level is a problem, and physical strength is also a big problem. Most basketball fans cannot play professional games. The reason for physical strength may be greater than the problem of strength.

At this moment, a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in Tang Tian's mind.

There is.

After returning from midfield, the fans on the scene were still in high spirits.

Although the lead is not large, it is leading after all. As long as they hold on to this half, the first Olympic medal in the history of the men's basketball team will be close at hand.

"beep!"

A short whistle came from the sidelines, and the second half of the game began immediately, with players from both sides appearing on the field one after another.

At this moment, the scene fell into a commotion.

Because the Chinese team made adjustments in the starting lineup in the second half, Chen Jianghua replaced Liu Wei and became the team's starting point guard.

This is also the second appearance of this young point guard in this Olympic Games. Coincidentally, the last appearance was also when he played against Spain.

But the fans didn't quite understand it. The last time it was to deal with Rubio, but this time? Opposite but Calderon ah! What is the cause of this sudden change?

Aito also didn't respond.

The Spanish team's offense, Calderon went to the frontcourt, called Navarro to make an outside pick-and-roll, and then gave the ball to Navarro.

Navarro catches the ball and faces Chen Jianghua.

These old fritters, seeing the Chinese team recruiting new recruits at this time, are ready to find this as a breakthrough.

"Don't foul." Tang Tian reminded from the sidelines at this time.

Navarro swayed continuously, trying to pass Chen Jianghua directly.

However, he soon discovered that Chen Jianghua's speed was very fast, and he couldn't pass in a daze.

Although the two teams played against each other before, Chen Jianghua was against Rubio, and the fight was not long.

Navarro failed to make a breakthrough, so he directly chose to make an emergency stop.

Chen Jianghua was inexperienced, so he was tricked into a thug foul.

Navarro made two free throws from the free throw line.

"It's okay, it's okay, fight according to the tactical arrangement." Tang Tian continued to remind loudly from the sidelines at this time.

He replaced Chen Jianghua up, obviously not for defense.

In the offense of the Chinese team, after Chen Jianghua handed the ball to Yao Ming, he began to run around the three-point line with Yao Ming as the center, just like the moon orbiting the earth.

His speed is very fast, like a loach, which turned the Spanish team's defense upside down.

Yao Ming seized the opportunity, caught Gasol by surprise, turned around and scored with a hook.

In the Spanish team's offense, Navarro also played Chen Jianghua, but the latter learned his lesson and did not foul. Navarro was almost lucky with the ball, and the ball went in and bounced out.

Yao Ming got the ball and gave it to Chen Jianghua as soon as he got it, and Chen Jianghua quickly pushed the fast break, leading the way.

The big and small Gasol are still in the backcourt, and Calderon, who is chasing and defending, can't keep up with the speed at all.

Chen Jianghua rushed to the frontcourt like a runaway wild horse and directly picked the basket to score.

There was a burst of cheers.

The fans were overjoyed at this moment.

The two teams fought each other in a straight line, just like the infantry of the two armies confronting each other on the battlefield.

After Chen Jianghua went up, it was as if a group of light cavalry were suddenly thrown in, and you were harassed by neither moving nor moving.
