Reborn in the 96 golden generation

491 - Fall into passive
"76:76", the two teams tied!

The Yugoslavian team followed up with "Princeton Tactics". Divac and Radmanovic all mentioned high-post support one after another. The "outside trio" headed by Stojakovic quickly interspersed and ran near the penalty area. bit.

After the ball passed many times between the inside and outside lines, Divac, who was located near the free throw line, had an open opportunity, and he did not hesitate to choose a mid-range shot.

After a crisp sound of "swish", Divac's mid-range shot made a steady hit!

"78:76", Yugoslavia led the score again.

In the new round of the Chinese team's offensive, Zhou Yu handed over the offensive power to Zhang Jinsong and Hu Weidong in order to preserve his strength.

Zhang Jinsong's "Desperate Saburo" style of play really shocked the Yugoslav players into a cold sweat. After making a slight shooting fake, he rushed to the inside with the ball, and Jaric, who was defending him, was pushed back steadily.

In the end, Zhang Jinsong used a strong kick to make a strong shot, which caused Jaric's thug to foul and made two free throws.

Following Zhang Jinsong's two free throws, the score between the two sides was rewritten to a "78:78" tie, and the game fell into an anxious tug-of-war.

In short, in the first half of the fourth quarter, the players on both sides basically maintained a relatively stable shooting rate, and the scores rose alternately.

When entering the second half of the fourth quarter, due to the serious decline in physical strength of the players on both sides, the shooting percentage plummeted, and the sound of iron strikes kept coming and going.

In more than three minutes, the two sides did not score a single sports game, and could only rely on free throws to score a few points.

With only 2 minutes and 13 seconds left before the end of the game, the score between the two sides was rewritten as "86:85", and the Yugoslavia team led the Chinese team by one point.

Zhou Yu knew that the time had come for him to take over the game. Before this time, he would take a few more deep breaths and try to adjust his mentality.

On the sidelines, the golden World Championships trophy has surfaced. It will be a great honor to help the men's basketball team win the World Championships trophy in their lifetime.

Coach Wang Fei called the last timeout of the game. While delivering water and towels for everyone, he tried his best to unload everyone's psychological burden.

Although Zhou Yu felt that it was very difficult to play in the last two minutes or so, he still believed that the Chinese team had a good chance of defeating their opponents and finally winning the cup.

Although the Yugoslavia team is a top basketball team in the world, it still mainly relies on shooting. Divac and Radmanovic are not too strong in the inside ability, and most of the time they rely on sports shooting to score.

And the more critical the moment is, the more reliable the inside scoring is, so he is hesitating whether to rely on the inside to make a strong play, or to rely on outside shooting to end the game.

With the sound of the electronic long tone, the timeout period ends, and the players of both sides enter the field again.

The Chinese team took the lead in launching an offensive. Ah Dijiang held the ball for halftime, and the Yugoslavian team adopted an oppressive defensive strategy, causing the Chinese team to almost violate the eight-second rule.

Zhou Yu mentioned catching the ball from a high position, and with the help of the "double screen" of Ah Dijiang and Zhang Jinsong, he tried to break in.

However, the Yugoslav team's rotation defense was in place, and the deep defense line was also very solid. Zhou Yu's breakthrough was quickly blocked.

As time passed, the defense of the Yugoslav players became tighter and tighter, and it became very difficult for the Chinese players to catch the ball.

After passing the ball a few times, it finally returned to Zhou Yu's hands. Zhou Yu saw that the attack time was running out, so he had to choose an outside shot.

With a forward change of direction dribble and quick acceleration followed by a step-back jumper, Zhou Yu barely made a shot under the strict defense of the opponent. The basketball crossed a high parabola and finally bounced out of the frame.

Divac grabbed the rebound and threw the ball to Rakosevich with a strong direct pass. Rakosevich quickly advanced with the ball, and the Yugoslavia team played a fast-breaking counterattack.

After several simple and effective passes of the ball, Stojakovic made a three-pointer near the bottom corner and hit the net with a crisp sound!
"89:85", the Yugoslavia team led the Chinese team by four points, with only 1 minute and 38 seconds left before the end of the game, the Chinese team was completely passive.

The defensive intensity of the Yugoslavia team was suffocating, and Zhou Yu was deeply disturbed. If he tried to shoot outside, the effect should not be too good. Only when he fell to the low position and played inside, could he have a glimmer of life.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yu began to fight for a position with Radmanovich, try to get into a deeper position, and strive to directly form a momentum of attacking the basket without giving the opponent a chance to assist in defense.

Ah Tijiang saw the opportunity and gave Zhou Yu a precise through ball. Zhou Yu had a chance to slam dunk after receiving the ball, but he made a fake shot and successfully sent Radmanovic Shaking up, not only scored the ball, but also caused a thug foul by the opponent, and an additional free throw!
After the crisp sound of "唰", Zhou Yu's extra penalty went into the basket smoothly!

"89:88", the Chinese team was only one point behind the Yugoslavian team. Zhou Yu's wonderful "2+1" pulled the Chinese team back from the cliff in time.

The Yugoslavia team then launched a new round of offensive. For the Chinese team, this round of defense is crucial.

Stojakovic controlled the ball near the top of the arc, and other teammates pulled away. Obviously, he was ready to go it alone.

After continuous crotch dribbles, Stojakovic suddenly changed direction and accelerated, heading straight to Hu Weidong's side.

Hu Weidong saw that the opponent was approaching ferociously, so he immediately retreated to block the defense. Stojakovic took advantage of the situation and made a big turn, swaying out of the space, leaping up, and posing for a fallback jumper.

Zhou Yu knew that he was the fighter in the shooter, so he hurried over to help defend, but missed Radmanovich beside him.

Stojakovic sent a precise through ball in mid-air and passed the ball to Radmanovic near the penalty area.

Radmanovic stepped forward, ready to dunk with one hand.

How could Yao Ming, who was guarding the basket, let him succeed so easily, he rushed up immediately and sent a overwhelming block.

Unexpectedly, Radmanovic's dunk was fake, but the pass to Divac on the other side was real.

After a precise lateral pass, Divac catches the ball and hits the basket smoothly!

"91:88", the Yugoslav team led the Chinese team by three points.

At this time, there are only 53.1 seconds left before the end of the game, and the situation of the Chinese team is still very serious.

After the ball passed halftime, Zhou Yu continued to fall to the low post, but it became more difficult to catch the ball. The Yugoslavia team tightly blocked the passing line for him. Outside players passed the ball rashly, and there was a risk of being intercepted.

In desperation, Zhou Yu had no choice but to catch the ball from a high position, and then launched a fierce attack on Radmanovic.

It was difficult for Radmanovic to defend Zhou Yu alone, and was quickly left behind by Zhou Yu using his speed and technique.

Although Zhou Yu successfully dodged Radmanovich, it was difficult to go further, because the Yugoslav team's defense was very solid, and Zhou Yu did not give Zhou Yu any chance.

Fortunately, Hu Weidong took advantage of his teammate's off-ball cover to create a better open space in one corner. Zhou Yu immediately made a precise oblique pass. Hu Weidong took the ball and made a three-pointer. The arc fell straight to the basket.

This ball is a matter of success or failure. Zhou Yu and other teammates prayed silently while rushing for the rebound.

After a crisp sound of "shua", Hu Weidong successfully hit a three-pointer from the bottom corner!

"91:91", the Chinese team finally tied the score!At this time, there are only 31.6 seconds left before the end of the game, and the two teams barely have an offensive opportunity each.

However, if the Yugoslavia team scored the ball at the buzzer, the attack time left for the Chinese team would be only 7.6 seconds, and the situation was still very unfavorable for the Chinese team.
