one-handed ball

Chapter 113
October 8, BJ time.

After the men's basketball preliminaries, according to the rankings of Group A and Group B, the match table of all national teams was also made. The opponent of the Chinese team was Croatia from Group A, the United States played against Australia, Greece played against Lithuania, and Spain played against Argentina.
Among them, China's match against Croatia and the United States' match against Australia are regarded as the two most suspenseful matches, and Spain's match against Argentina is called the most interesting match.
In this regard, the Chinese team is not as optimistic as the media sees. Before the game, Jonas repeatedly warned the boys of the Chinese team not to be confused by the rhetoric of the outside world. There are all kinds of impossibilities in basketball games. With all kinds of possibilities, if we can beat the world's No. [-], then Croatia can also beat us. Don't relax your vigilance just because the odds of winning are a little bit bigger. The historical record is just around the corner. Everyone can't relax!

Jonas' worry is indeed not unreasonable. In fact, the two teams played very anxiously in the first quarter. Croatia obviously made detailed and sufficient preparations before the game, facing Zheng Ke's strong attack and Yao Ming's attack at the basket ability, they made a very detailed arrangement, at least Zheng Ke felt very uncomfortable, and it was more difficult than Spain
After the first quarter, the two teams tied at 19!
In the second quarter, Zheng Ke of the Chinese team continued to stay on the field, and Yunus put up a lineup of one big and four small. Yi Jianlian, Zheng Ke, Zhu Fangyu, Wang Shipeng, and Sun Yue were composed of players with relatively strong athletic ability. A wonderful lineup. In terms of this lineup, the height of the inside line has dropped significantly, but the athletic ability has been instantly enhanced, and the running and jumping ability is much higher than that of the Croatian team!

With Zheng Ke in possession of the ball, the Chinese team did not make many mistakes.When Jonas arranged this tactic, he said that each of the five has the ability to shoot three-pointers, and everyone has the ability to break through. There are only two options for everyone to attack. One is to break through to the inside to cause damage, and the other is to shoot a three-pointer from the outside. !
Under such circumstances, Yi Jianlian obviously had a great performance. He made consecutive shots. He is very adaptable to the bombardment system, just like Channing Frye, just like Sean Marion, who can run and jump. Almost all fours who shoot three-pointers like to bombard the system!

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Chinese team beat Croatia 14 to 5!

Naturally, Croatia will not surrender easily. They replaced all the main players in advance, hoping to restore the situation on the field. Seeing this, Jonas immediately replaced Wang Zhizhi and Yao Ming, and replaced Yi Jianlian, Zheng Ke, and Jonas. Instead of replacing his favorite Chen Jianghua, he now prefers to use a tall lineup more and more, and it seems to be very easy to use.

At the end of the half, the Chinese team led by 45 points 37 to 8.

At the beginning of the second half, Zheng Ke, who had a half-time rest, showed his fangs again, causing troubles for the Croatian team on the defensive end one after another, causing the Croatians to make offensive mistakes and so on.
In this way, although the Chinese team's offense was not very smooth, the scores of the two teams did not get closer. On the contrary, under the counterattack made by the Croatian team's mistakes, there is still a trend of getting bigger and bigger.
The head coach of Croatia, Yasmin Ripisa, requested a timeout in time. He gathered the Croatian players and once again encouraged the momentum of the team. He hoped that the players could regain their strength and play at their own level!

At this time, Zheng Ke looked at the battered Croatian head coach. For some reason, a sentence suddenly came to mind: If you want to kill a thief, you can’t recover. The gap between the two teams was not as big as imagined, but after Zheng Ke took control , the biggest weakness of the Chinese team has been infinitely reduced, the original mistakes have been greatly reduced, and Zheng Ke and Yi Jianlian's excellent three-pointers have allowed Yao Ming's offensive ability to be magnified. How can Croatia, which has no talent, not lose?

In the middle of the fourth quarter, the Chinese team led by 73 points 61 to [-]. Although there were not many leads, the Chinese team had the upper hand on the scene. The three armies used their lives to suppress the Croatian team.

The audience in the audience began to stand up, and everyone began to loudly cheer for the bloody Chinese men's basketball team, "China team, come on! China team, come on!" The folks really turned this magnificent Wukesong Stadium into the home of the Chinese team!
The players of the Chinese team on the field seemed to be stimulated. Zheng Ke, who had been fighting for more than three quarters, felt reinjected with a force, and his blood gradually burned.Every time he stepped on the wooden floor, he changed direction faster, every breakthrough became more powerful, and every shot felt that everyone was watching him, and he became more confident!
Time passed by every minute and every second, and the Croatian team still failed to close the score.

Finally, they replaced all the main players in the last 2 minutes and announced their abandonment of the game!Seeing this, Yunus put down all the main players at the next dead ball
"We won!" Yao Ming and Zheng Ke, who came down from the field, were so excited that their necks turned red, and the joy that could not be concealed was released between their eyebrows.

"We won!" The final whistle blew, and Wang Zhizhi jumped up excitedly. This old boy who has gone through three Olympic Games is like a child, with tears in his eyes, and the camera caught Wang Zhizhi in time , Countless old fans were also moved at this moment, shed tears of excitement
There are also Wang Zhizhi, coach, Zheng Ke, they are very excited, everyone happily formed a circle hand in hand, just like what they said in the studio of the imperial court: "This is a historic moment for the Chinese men's basketball team. At the moment of a new chapter, the Chinese men's basketball team defeated the Croatian team and entered the world's semi-finals, achieving a historic breakthrough. Let us remember this moment, this wonderful night, and these lovely and amiable people who fought hard. Basketball players!"

################################################## #############################
Compared with the Chinese team and the Croatian team that almost suppressed the whole game, the other three knockout games had different performances.

The U.S. team remained undefeated. In the match against Australia, the two teams could still score a similar score of 25 to 24 in the first quarter. In the second quarter, the U.S. team had more than an All-Star substitute, and Australia began to lose. At the end of the three quarters, the US team led 89 to 61 by 28 points. In the end, the game ended without any suspense.
The remaining two games, the games between Greece and Lithuania and Argentina and Spain, were all played at the end. In the end, Greece narrowly beat Lithuania with 4 points, while Spain narrowly beat Argentina with 2 points.

Interestingly, this time, the four advanced teams in Group B all won the advanced team in Group A. The No. 3 seed Greece has good strength, which is not inferior to No. 4 seed Lithuania and No. 1 seed Argentina in Group A. This can be regarded as a spectacle on the field of this Olympic Games.
Therefore, the final list of the top four is released, the US team, the Spanish team, the Greek team and the host Chinese team.

To the delight of all Chinese fans, the next opponent of the Chinese team is the Spanish team that they defeated in the group stage. This can be said to be an opportunity for the Chinese men's basketball team to win medals, and it is also something that the Chinese men's basketball team must strive for.

Of course, Zheng Ke also has something to fight for.

After defeating the Croatian team, Zheng Ke can be said to have changed the original history again, and he received a message from the system again.

He completed the hidden mission: to become the top four in the world.
