Reborn in the 96 golden generation

Chapter 540 Work hard for the gold medal

Although Zhou Yu was eager to rest, he thought again that he is the "spiritual pillar" of the Chinese team. Once he rests in the crucial fourth quarter, it is difficult to guarantee that the "Dream Four" will not fight back, and the consequences are unpredictable.

While hesitating, Wang Fei suddenly said firmly:

"It seems that Dazhi is not planning to rest for the Olympic gold medal, and he is in good condition. It is estimated that it will not be a problem to play the fourth quarter."

Zhou Yu looked at Wang Fei with a dark expression on his face, wanting to cry but without tears, suffering unspeakable.

"Okay, now that we have all the personnel in the fourth quarter and are in good condition, I hope you can always maintain this good mental state, continue to play your highest level on both ends of the offense and defense, defeat the 'Dream Team' in one fell swoop, and become the The new overlord of the world basketball! Remember, you are the best!"

Wang Fei cleared his throat, clenched his fists and said sharply.

"The Chinese team will win! We are the best!"

All the team members immediately shouted in unison.

Although the morale of the Chinese men's basketball players was high, their physical disadvantages quickly became evident after just over two minutes into the fourth quarter, while the American players were naturally gifted, so their physical fitness was naturally not a problem.

With the decline in shooting percentage, the Chinese team is playing more and more stretched, and both offensive and defensive ends seem to be a bit powerless. What's more terrible is that when Zhou Yu's physical strength is seriously declining, Garnett's desperate defense has initially achieved results, making Zhou Yu Yu's offensive efficiency is greatly reduced.

双方战至距离全场比赛结束还剩4分03秒之时，比分改写为“83:72”，美国队居然领先中国队达11分之多。

Zhou Yu was on the verge of exhaustion of physical strength at this time, and he was gritting his teeth to persevere. Seeing the Olympic gold medal drifting away, one can imagine the pain in his heart.

"Big Zhi, don't hold on any longer, let's take a break after the game, no matter whether you win or lose this game, you have done your best."

Li Nan walked up to Zhou Yu and persuaded him with concern.

"Yeah, Big Zhi, our strength is not as good as the US team, and it is reasonable to lose. Winning the runner-up has created the best result."

Liu Yudong also persuaded.

"Thank you two brothers for your concern, but the competition is not over yet, we still have a chance to turn defeat into victory, don't give up easily, after all, the Olympic Games only come once every four years."

Zhou Yu said earnestly.

The teammates looked at each other in blank dismay, and suddenly felt an invisible force filling the whole body, and they all said loudly:

"Dazhi, don't worry, we must fight until the last moment!"

In the next second, the mental outlook of the Chinese men's basketball players took on a new look. Everyone on the field was determined to fight to the death, and their eyes were full of desire and fighting spirit to win.

At this time, Zhou Yu was also lucky enough to pass the "fatigue period", and his physical strength seemed to have recovered a lot.

After Ah Tijiang held the ball for halftime, he was not in a hurry to pass the ball to Zhou Yu, but suddenly launched a strong attack on Kidd.

Kidd was a little confused. He didn't expect the Chinese players to have such strong physical strength at this point in the game.

Ah Tijiang changed direction and dribbled the ball several times in a row, then suddenly sped up, passed Kidd in one fell swoop, and rushed straight to the penalty area of ​​the US team.

When the American team's defense was not in place, Ah's Jiang suddenly made a small throw. The basketball passed Garnett's fingertips and hit the board!

"83:74", the Chinese team narrowed the point difference to single digits, and saw a slight hope of turning defeat into victory.

In the next round, the high-morale U.S. team simply turned on the singles mode. After Houston got the ball from one side in the middle distance, he hit Zhang Jinsong with his back a few times, and then suddenly turned over and shot a jumper. The basketball crossed a beautiful arc. , and finally pops out of the box.

Zhou Yu struggled to grab the rebound, and in order to buy time, he took the risk of throwing a strong long pass, and the basketball fell straight into the hands of Zhang Jinsong, who was rushing forward in mid-air.

Zhang Jinsong caught the ball and turned around, passing Kidd in one fell swoop, and succeeded in a three-step layup!

"83:76", the Chinese team narrowed the point difference to seven points.

The morale of the Chinese team, which scored four points in a row, was boosted, and it was getting closer and closer to tying the US team.

At this point in the game, the U.S. team should have adopted time-killing tactics, but the halo of the "dream team" made them unabated and continued to launch a fierce attack on the Chinese team.

After Garnett got the ball in a low post on one side, he was going to force Zhou Yu to sweep away the previous haze.

After consecutive backs and turns, Garnett gradually approached the penalty area, and suddenly he turned around and took a small jump on the line, ready to use the world's best slam dunk to solve the battle.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Yu rewarded him with a solid head-on hat, and the falling basketball was snatched by Ah Tijiang.

The Chinese team immediately turned from defense to offense, and Ah Dijiang ran all the way with the ball, rushing towards the US team's half like an arrow from the string.

The American team returned to the defense quickly, and Ah Tijiang took advantage of his inability to return to the defense, and promptly distributed the ball to Li Nan in the corner on one side.

When Li Nan received the ball, he made a three-point shot. This shot was extremely critical, and it could even be said to determine the trend of the game.

After a crisp sound of "唰", Li Nan successfully hit a three-pointer from the bottom corner!
"83:79", the Chinese team was only four points behind the US team.

At this time, with 1 minute and 46 seconds left before the end of the game, the game was full of suspense again.

Tomjanovich, who was watching the game off the court, was so angry that he saw the good situation being lost like this, so how could he not be overwhelmed with pain.

After repeated hoarse reminders from Tomjanovich, the members of the "Dream Four" finally started to kill time.

Kidd handles the ball near the top of the key and only passes the ball when the shot clock is almost exhausted.

This time, Kidd passed the ball to the "tough guy" Mourning who had been silent for a long time, and Liu Yudong was the main defender of Mourning.

Mourning knew that Zhou Yu's defense was good, so he didn't dare to step into the penalty area rashly. He hit Liu Yudong with his back a few times, and suddenly took a step-back jump shot. The basketball passed Liu Yudong's fingertips and hit the net with a crisp sound!

"85:79", the U.S. team finally increased their points and widened the point difference to four points, which made the team breathe a sigh of relief.

Seeing that the end of the game was getting closer, Zhou Yu risked a "super long three-pointer" in desperation, but unfortunately, this shot failed to hit.

The moment the basketball bounced out of the hoop, Liu Yudong jumped up with all his strength, overpowering Mourning, and grabbed this extremely important offensive rebound.

When the ball fell into Zhou Yu's hands again, he made another three-pointer without hesitation. The basketball crossed a beautiful parabola and hit the net with a crisp sound!

"85:82", the Chinese team is only three points behind the US team. At this time, there is only 1 minute and 03 seconds left before the end of the game, and the Chinese team still has a chance!
The U.S. team once again played time-killing tactics. Kidd controlled the ball near the top of the arc. When the attack time was about to run out, he suddenly sent a precise pass to the ground, and Ray Allen, who was running back from the side, received the ball. It's just a "floating shot", the speed is jaw-dropping.

Fortunately, Ray Allen's mid-range shot near the free throw line finally came out of the basket, and the Chinese team escaped.

Zhou Yu took advantage of his outstanding bounce speed, first flicked the basketball, and then took off quickly again to grab this precious backcourt rebound.

At this time, with only 39.6 seconds left before the end of the game, the Chinese team could only risk a three-pointer.

At the critical moment, Zhou Yu took the risk to send a wonderful long pass to the ground. After Ah Tijiang got the ball, he continued to drive at full speed and crazily rushed towards the halftime of the US team.
