Chapter 1183 Pride is the mother of failure
While the Chinese team was celebrating, Spain's bench was covered with clouds.
The Spanish head coach squatted on the ground and yelled directly at his players. This was a real roar.
His saliva had already sprayed on the noses of these top European players, but the Spanish men's basketball team, who were arrogant in the past, was ashamed at this time and did not dare to face the eyes of the Spanish head coach.
Such an opening is too bad for them, and it can even be said to be a shame.
The Spanish head coach couldn't accept such a shameful start, nor could they accept it.
Before they arrived in China, they had only one target opponent, Team USA, but now the Chinese team actually made the game like this, which made them, the European kings, feel faceless.
So at this time, the head coach of Spain began to spit, but they didn't dare to respond. What they lost was really ugly!
At the same time, the American team who watched the game on the sidelines was also shocked. The Chinese team could actually score a high score of 35 points in a single quarter. Such an opponent is definitely worthy of respect. Any team is a little careless and may be pushed to death by China in a wave. This is really a huge threat to them.
At this time, I also seized the opportunity to come and interview Yi Li, who had just made three consecutive three-pointers.
"Yi Li, you just made three consecutive three-pointers, which is a great contributor to the Chinese team's expansion of the score. I would like to ask why your touch is so hot today."
Yi Li heard the reporter's question, and he immediately said:
"I feel hot today because my touch was very poor in the previous competition, so all the touches have accumulated to today. I personally hope that my touches can accumulate again, and I will be accurate in the next key competition. This feels very good."
Yi Li is too excited now and talks a lot.
This overly excited state is also the mentality of the entire Chinese team now. If you use this state well, it will be unrivaled morale. If you use it poorly, you will give your opponent countless opportunities.
When I returned from the second quarter, it was the Chinese team's ball.
At this time, the Chinese guys walked onto the court, and everyone immediately saw that the Chinese team was not proud or slackened. Instead, they played harder and worked hard. The whole team played very rigorously and meticulously completely passed the ball away. Then Yi Jianlian was shooting at the baseline.
Although there was no shot in the end, there was no problem with the Chinese team's attitude.
The Chinese team missed the game, while Spain immediately launched a counterattack. Calderon slowly controlled the ball in the backcourt, but Gasol took advantage of his speed advantage to get to the Chinese team's halftime position first.
Gasol used his speed to beat Zhou Qi in the whole game. He got stuck in a position when the Chinese team was halfway through the Chinese team.
Calderon also seized the opportunity. He crossed the line and immediately passed the basketball to Gasol's hand.
When Gasol got the ball, he was stuck at the far waist position. It was far away from the basket, but it didn't matter. Gasol had a relatively large attack range. Gasol did not hold on to the force with Zhou Qi. Instead, he turned around and rushed towards the basket with the spherical frame horizontally.
Gasol used his speed to hit Zhou Qi, which made Zhou Qi feel helpless. Zhou Qi went up. Gasol had already connected Zhou Qi for half of his body. With this gap, it was clear that Gasol was very determined.
"Ahhhh!" screamed, and he got up and threw a hook. He said that Gasol's touch was really excellent. When he moved, he was still far from the basket, he threw a hook and even went in directly.
After scoring this difficult ball, Gasol also excitedly danced his fists.
Spain's defeat made Gasol very uncomfortable. He also blamed himself after the game. He felt that he had not fully performed and did not try his best for the game. This led to his team losing so many points in the first quarter.
So now as soon as we come back in the second quarter, Gasol made up his mind to fight to the country, and even to fight to defeat the country. At this time, most of the players in Spain thought so.
Spain feels humiliated and wants to fight back to face. On the same country, Chinese players want to fight to the death now. They want to fight to the death with each other. It is much more beneficial to knock down one after another than to stretch the front line.
Therefore, the Chinese team players took the ball and played very vigorously and unprecedentedly decisively.
Sun Yue came in possession of the ball and passed the basketball to Yi Li. Yi Li rarely directly challenged Mirotic, got the ball 45 degrees, dribbled down to the bottom line, and pulled it up and made an emergency stop jump shot.
Yi Li was really determined to play, but today in the second quarter, Yi Li's hand feels dull.
Yi Li's shot hit the ring and flew out. At this time, Zhou Qi rushed over and used his height to directly push the basketball outside the three-point line.
Li Feng grabbed the basketball from outside the three-point line and forced his way in. Li Feng wanted to force a breakthrough, but at this time Ibaka came up from the side and bravely defended Li Feng with his body. Although Li Feng had the power of the center, Ibaka was a standard big stick. He had the strength and weight to delay Li Feng.
When Li Feng and Ibaka collided like this, they did not achieve their expected goals. They did not hit Spain's basket and could only turn around and throw the basketball to Han Shuo. Li Feng was helpless, but what was unexpected was.
Han Shuo took the ball from the three-point line, dribbled the ball and flew directly into Spain's penalty area. Han Shuo actually held the ball with both hands, and when he got the ball, he was about to smash it on Gasol's head.
Han Shuo actually wanted Yan Kou Gasol, and this scene almost made Li Feng jump up excitedly.
Yu Jia also shouted:
"Han Shuo, it's going to dunk!"
Just when all the fans of the audience grew up, Gasol got up and gave Han Shuo a palm, blocking Han Shuo out of the air.
Han Shuo fell a big flop when he landed, and the basketball flew to somewhere, but the referee immediately gave Gasol a foul.
Spain played fiercely at the beginning, and the Chinese team was at least not bad in momentum. Han Shuo was really the courage of the Chinese men's basketball team. He actually dared to shoot directly into the Spanish position and hit Gasol's courage, which is really respectable and admirable.
Han Shuo landed and moved for a while before he stepped onto the free throw line, making one of two free throws.
The Chinese team told Spain in their own way. We are not easy to mess with. Spain played hard inside, and the Chinese team forced a dunk. Both teams showed their tough traits with practical actions at the beginning.
Spain kicked off at the bottom line. This time, as soon as Calderon got the ball, Sun Yue went up to lead the defense and put pressure on Spain.
The Chinese team's defensive end gradually imposed the ball. At this time, Calderon took some effort to push the basketball to the Chinese team's half.
When Calderon arrived at the Chinese team's half, Spain's position had already fallen. Carmenes penetrated the low post on the left, and Ibaka and Navarro stood parallel to the right waist.
Gasol, who followed Calderon, ran over. He stopped at 45 degrees and provided a cover for Ibaka. Ibaka ran around Gasol for a while, which attracted the Chinese team's defensive attention to him.
While the Chinese team was staring at Ibaka, Ibaka curled and ran a U-shaped route. He turned around and provided a cover for Navarro. Navarro ran out and Calderon quickly passed the ball to him.
Navarro, who received the ball, turned around and passed the ball to Gasol. At this time, Gasol happened to use the pick-and-roll empty cut just now and stuck to the low post on the right.
Gasol still faced Zhou Qi with the ball. He only hit Zhou Qi with one move, without using strength. He directly broke through horizontally under the basket with the ball. Gasol's pace was faster than Zhou Qi, and his body was more flexible. After half of Zhou Qi's position, he turned around and came back to a counter-basketball. Gasol scored two more points.
Gasol succeeded in attacking in low posts in a row. After winning, Gasol went over and slapped his teammates to celebrate.
Now Spain has finally shown their characteristics, and their characteristics are actually similar to those of the country. They are strong inside strength.
When Gasol shot the second low post, Min Lulei's brows turned around. He is now. In fact, Zhou Qi's defense against Gasol is not good. Gasol uses speed and flexibility to hit Zhou Qi, but Zhou Qi doesn't have many ways to do it.
At the same time, Director Zhang also said in the commentary seat:
"Gasol has played two low posts in a row. You can't let him play like this. If you continue to play like this, the rhythm will become the rhythm of Spain, which is quite unfavorable for us."
The Chinese team also knew this at this time, so in Spain's halftime, Sun Yue saw the opportunity to have a free spot and immediately passed a good goal to Li Feng.
Li Feng took the ball and made a shot directly in Spain's shooting area, but surprisingly, Li Feng's shooting was not even a shot.
As a result, the Chinese team scored three sports games in the first half without success. The magical touch of the Chinese team has now disappeared.
When Director Zhang saw that Li Feng missed the shot, he also shouted:
"That's awful! Li Feng missed this shot."
Li Feng missed the shot, but the bad thing was that the rebound was also grabbed by Mirotic. Mirotic, who grabbed the rebound, immediately passed the ball to Calderon.
Calderon took the ball and rushed towards the Chinese team quickly in the first half. The Chinese team encountered a counterattack and turned around and retreated quickly.
The Chinese team's quick retreat finally intercepted Spain, but at this moment, Gasol, who was dragging it up and made a pick-and-roll with Calderon at 45 degrees. Calderon used the Chinese team's defense to gain a foothold and suddenly passed the ball to Gasol who cut the inside. Gasol took the ball to face the loophole in the Chinese team, took a step forward and dunked directly.
"Clang!"
Gasol succeeded in dunking! Gasol made three consecutive goals.
As a result, a group of Spanish fans in the corner cheered and the Spanish players on the bench jumped up.
Spain's assistant coach was on the side, exerting his fists hard and shouting at the court.
Spain relied on Gasol's three strong attacks to shorten the gap between the two teams to 7 points, and now the score of the two teams has become 36-29.
This situation made the Chinese team look bad. When they came back in the second quarter, the Chinese team did not fail to work hard. The Chinese team played very hard, but the score difference was still narrowed. It had nothing to do with strength, but the Chinese team's luck in the second quarter was not very good.
At this time, Director Zhang could only admire Gasol's scoring ability:
"Paul Gasol is worthy of being the number one inside player in Europe. His personal abilities are really strong, especially in international competitions. Even if he is 50 years old, it is terrifying. I think we should adjust it now."
Director Zhang knew that adjustments were needed, and Min Lulei also knew that adjustments were needed, but how to adjust was the key to the problem.
Now it is not appropriate to defend Gasol with Zhou Qi. In fact, height and weight are not the key points. Gasol is a flexible player. No matter how tall or strong you are, Gasol can completely play tricks on you with his skills and agility.
Therefore, to defend Gasol, the person who uses it does not have to be tall or strong, but the pace must be fast, and playing ball must be tough. Being able to withstand Gasol's feet is much more important than sealing Gasol's head. This is a criterion!
But the current situation of the Chinese team is that Zhou Qi is the team's banner. Min Lulei dares not easily replace Zhou Qi, nor does he dare to easily replace Gasol.
Min Lulei knew that adjustments were needed, but he dared not adjust now.
This affected the overall layout of the team. Zhou Qi was hit by Gasol three times in a row, but his face was damaged. He came over to ask for the ball from his teammates.
Sun Yue passed the basketball to Zhou Qi. When Zhou Qi took the ball and played again, he was in trouble.
Zhou Qi was defending Gasol before, and he followed Gasol back and forth to run. His rhythm was long gone and his physical strength was consumed very much.
So when I got the basketball at this time, Zhou Qi couldn't breathe, and the rhythm was not adjusted well, and the rhythm was not good, and the shooting felt bad.
Zhou Qi took the ball and shot back, but he also missed the game. The Chinese team failed to make four consecutive sports games.
Spain turned around and Navarro scored a three-pointer, but the Chinese team seized the opportunity and suddenly played a fast break. Sun Yue stopped and missed the jump shot.
After Gasol scored three goals in a row, both teams were in a row. Such a scene made both teams feel particularly anxious in the inside and the situation was in a stalemate.
At this moment, Spain pushed the offense again, and the Chinese team revealed a flaw, and Spain easily passed the ball to Gasol.
Gasol took the ball from the left baseline, and his shoulders shook. Suddenly, the baseline broke through and passed Zhou Qi. Under the basket, Gasol made another reverse layup, and Gasol played the fourth attack at the basket.
After this, Min Lulei couldn't help but call for a pause. He immediately got up and called a pause.
The Chinese team played 4 minutes since the start of the second quarter, and there was no score in a single sports game, which made Spain play 4 low-post attacks.
The score was 31-36, and the score difference between 12 points was 5 points left. This blow was not big for the Chinese team.
At the beginning of the game, the Chinese team was full of passion, and the Wukesong Stadium was cheering, but after 4 minutes, the Chinese team players were all browsed, and the Wukesong Stadium was filled with anxiety. (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!
