Chapter 102: Recovery
With the play of Tamara Torrance, the rhythm of the game has been in the hands of Spain, although Zhuang Yan and Lin Fengfei occasionally played, but could not stop Spain from fully blossoming under Tamara Torrens, when the game reached the middle of the second quarter, the score came to 46:28, the difference came to 18 points, and this game, it is likely to create a new low in the score of the Chinese women's team.
He Yitong always wanted to try to enter the state that Ji Jinru said, but it took her a long time to feel what that state was.
When Tamara Torrance scored again, Himejin called a timeout.
"The current game is really unfavorable for the Chinese team, the score is getting bigger and bigger, and it seems that the top four teams are different. Su Qi said in a low mood at this time.
"Yes, in fact, the Spanish team itself should be considered the top two teams. Li Yuan said.
"That's right, the Chinese team is the top four, the Spanish team is the top two, and the difference in strength is really big. Suqi said.
Li Yuan nodded.
"Why don't you send Yitong to play now, is it because she didn't play well at the beginning, so she won't let her play now?" Yang Yujia said with some confusion.
"No, and Aru is not that kind of person, he must have done it for a reason. Cui Maixiang said.
"Yitong, I don't have time to find that state anymore, let's go up and fight Tamara Torrance!" Ji Zhenru looked at He Yitong and said at this time.
"Coach, I ...... I'm not very confident right now, and my height could easily be a defensive hole. He Yitong said worriedly.
"It's okay, Yitong, you have to believe in yourself, and the current game is very unfavorable to us, basically it can be said that we have lost, so you just let go of the fight, it doesn't matter if you win or lose. Shen Qingzhi patted He Yitong on the shoulder and said.
"Coach, how can you say that, we don't want to lose!" Lin Fengfei said loudly to Ji Zhenru.
"Yes, coach, haven't we given up yet?" Zhuang Yan also said loudly.
"Well, that's good, I appreciate your spirit, but now that we're in a very difficult time, I'm glad that you're in such a state of not admitting defeat!" Himejinru said.
"Coach, what do you mean, you mean that we are doomed. Zhao Meiyue said.
"You don't have to win in basketball, the important thing is that I see your spirit of not admitting defeat. We've reached the semi-finals of this World Championship and we've done our job, so my biggest hope now is that you'll be able to finish this game in full mental condition. Ji Zhenru said as she looked at each player.
"Coach ......" All the players of the Chinese team looked at Ji Zhenru, and their faces were full of unwilling and unconvinced looks!
"Cut, the Chinese team is not as good as ours, we still have a stalemate with the Spanish team for half time, and they were beaten in the second quarter. (Japanese)" Miyoko Kyokawa said speechlessly.
"It seems that this game will not be watched in the third quarter, in terms of strength, in Asia, we are still a step above the Chinese team!" (Japanese) "Akai Junko said.
"It's only the second quarter, so you can't jump to conclusions so early!" (Japanese)," Oda said.
"Do you still need to see it? Can the Chinese team of Spain's Tamara be able to defend against her? When we played against the Spanish team, she defeated us alone, and I think the Chinese team should have no choice. (Japanese)" said Junko Akai.
"Will the Chinese team be defeated by the Spanish team like Japan?" said Maki Oda, looking at the score on the score.
"Probably not...... I feel like there's a good chance that the score will catch up. Xu Ning said with a smile.
"Why?" said Maki Oda, looking at Himejinru curiously.
"Because their coaches are not ordinary people. Xu Ning looked at Xu Ning on the field and said.
"Is that so?" said Maki Oda suspiciously.
"Taku, it looks like you're not in a hurry at all, or your expression hasn't changed at all. Your current mentality is really good!" Yang Zifeng looked at Wang Tuo and said.
"Yes. Wang Tuo smiled and nodded and said.
"Don't you care if you win or lose this game?" asked Yang Zifeng.
"The outcome of the game is either determined by man or by heaven, so you don't have to let your emotions follow. Wang Tuo said.
"What do you mean by that?" Yang Zifeng asked, feeling that what Wang Tuo said was very interesting.
"Or it means that when there is a big difference in strength between the two sides, the stronger side will definitely win, and there is no suspense in this kind of game, so it is said. There is no need to worry and be nervous, or it is determined by heaven that when the two sides are equal in strength, the lucky side will win, so we don't have to worry or be nervous, because God has its own arrangement. Wang Tuo said.
"I'm going to go! You're so calm now, I really want to see what you're like playing on the court. Yang Zifeng looked at Wang Tuo in surprise and said.
Wang Tuo smiled and didn't speak again.
"Toot!" the referee blew the whistle for the game to continue, and the players from both sides walked back to the field again, the Chinese team made substitutions, He Yitong replaced Zhao Chun, and Jiang Yulian replaced Wu Yuetong.
The Chinese team served, and the captain Zhuang Yan gave the ball to He Yitong's hands, and He Yitong took the ball through the half.
"You've come up again, and I've been sitting down there for so long, I thought you weren't up. Alba Palau, Spain's main point guard, said to He Yitong.
He Yitong didn't speak, she took the ball to the top arc of the three-point line and made a blocking gesture.
"Coach really, how can this be? We all believe in you so much, but you say something like this, okay, let's win this game for you to see!" At this time, every female member of the Chinese team felt a little disappointed in Ji Zhenru's performance just now, and this was the first time they saw Ji Zhenru's face with a helpless expression.
"I don't know if the pause just now has come up with a good way to deal with the Spanish team!" Yang Yu said.
"At this time, the best way is the chicken soup method!" Cui Maixiang said.
Zhuang Yan ran out and He Yitong was covering, He Yitong used Zhuang Yan's cover to rush to the right, and Anna Pakuva hurriedly switched guards with Alba Palau.
"Yitong, give me the ball!" Zhuang Yan said loudly as he ran to the basket at this time.
Seeing this, He Yitong quickly passed the ball over, and after Zhuang Yan received the ball, Lea Rima on the inside line immediately contracted his defense and stopped under the basket to wait for Zhuang Yan.
"Coach, look at it, I won't admit defeat easily, we must not admit defeat easily in this game!" Zhuang Yan thought to herself, only to see her rush directly towards Lea Rima with the ball!
"I'll go, what is the captain going to do!" Wang Jin in the substitute area looked at Zhuang Yan who rushed to the basket and said loudly.
"She's going to challenge the two-meter-one-three big center Leia Rima!" Xu Li also shouted.
"Ahh
"You're looking for death!" Lea Rima said in her heart, and she jumped up with Zhuang Yan.
"This is a duel between the insiders!" Yu Fei shouted.
"That's a lot of strength!" After Lea Rima made contact with Zhuang Yan's body in the air, she felt a powerful force in Zhuang Yan's body.
Zhuang Yan forcibly threw the ball to the basket after making physical contact with Lea Rima!
"Toot ......!" the referee blew for a foul on Lea Rima.
"When...... Gollum...... "The ball spun around the basket a few times before finally rolling in!
"Yes!" Zhuang Yan shook his arm fiercely and shouted.
"Well done, senior sister!" He Yitong shouted happily.
"It's you who passed it on, Yitong!" Zhuang Yan said to He Yitong with a smile.
The two of them slapped their hands hard!
"A beautiful two-plus-one, I hope the Chinese team can catch up under the leadership of this ball!" Su Qi in the studio said loudly into the microphone.
"That's right! This ball is played very decisively, and the purpose is very clear, that is, to kill inside! Sometimes the simplest way to attack is the most effective!" Li Yuan also said excitedly into the microphone.
"It seems that Aru's chicken soup is starting to work now. He Yitong looked at Zhuang Yan who stood on the free throw line and said.
I saw Zhuang Yan standing at the free throw line, taking the ball thrown by the referee, slapping it twice on the floor, and then putting the ball out!
At 31:46, the Chinese team chased the difference to 15 points.
Spain attacked, with Alba Palau carrying the ball through the half.
"Don't you dare to attack on your own?" said Alba Palau, who stopped 60 degrees to the left of the three-point line, and said with a smile to Ho.
"Sorry, I don't understand English. (English)" He Yitong said, in fact, she understood Alba Palau's words perfectly, but she didn't want to talk nonsense with Alba Palau.
"It's useless to run away, you can only get the only result, to be defeated by me like that Japanese point guard!" Alba Palau said with a sneer.
"Be careful, He Yitong, the opponent you are facing is very powerful. Oda Maki looked at He Yitong, who was defending Alba Palau on the field, and said in his heart.
Lea Rima on the inside line came over again to cover Alba Palau, Alba Palau took advantage of Lea Rima's cover and quickly hit the basket from the right side with the ball, He Yitong bypassed Lea Rima and Zhao Meiyue to pinch Alba Palau!
"Don't pinch the point guard of Nishibanya!" shouted Maki Oda at this time.
At this time, Alba Palau didn't even look at anyone, and threw the ball directly to the free throw line, at this time Lea Rima seemed to be waiting there, only to see that she received the ball from Alba Palau, and then easily threw the ball to the basket.
The ball fell steadily, and at 48:31, Spain led by 17 points.
"You can't pinch Spain's point guard. Maki Oda said loudly.
"It seems that you have a deep understanding!" Xu Ning said with a smile.
"Yes, that's right, this Spanish point guard has an extremely wide field of vision, he will send the ball over in time whenever there is a gap in every corner, and his pass is very difficult to break, so you must not use a pinch strategy against him!" Oda said solemnly.
"When we played against them, they relied on point guards to stalemate us, and the timing and precision of her passes were top-notch!"
The Chinese team attacked, and He Yitong came to the front court with the ball.
"Hmph, I really don't know how your previous high scores were made, or that the point guards of the teams you met before were too poor......" Alba Palau thought proudly as he looked at He Yitong.
He Yitong took the ball to the right side of the three-point line 60 degrees to organize the attack, Zhuang Yan on the inside line came out again to cover her, only to see He Yitong take a step to the right side and shoot directly!
"Can this ball go in?" Cui Maixiang said as he looked at the trajectory of the ball thrown by He Yitong.
"When!" the ball bounced off the front of the basket!
"It seems that Yitong is really not in a state today...... Wang Jin said helplessly, covering his forehead.
At this time, Zhao Meiyue under the basket stretched out her right hand and gently tapped the ball that bounced out, and the ball fell back into the basket again, and all the players of the Chinese team breathed a sigh of relief.
33:48! The margin is back to 15 points again.
"Fortunately, this ball Meiyue has scored, and Yitong's state has not been very stable from the beginning, maybe I haven't seen such a big scene and I'm not used to it!" Xu Li said.
"It's too late to get used to it now!" Wang Jin said speechlessly.
"You don't have to worry, she's already in shape, the ball was just a test shot. Ji Zhenru said with a smile.
The Spanish team once again used their best blocking tactics, with Leila Rima coming up as a cover, but this time Zhao Meiyue and He Yitong also mentioned the three-point line to cover Alba Palau.
"The bag clamp really doesn't work!" Oda Maki shouted again.
Leila Lima took the opportunity to run to the basket, and Alba Palau jumped up and threw the ball to the basket, and she passed the ball high every time she passed to Lea Rima, taking advantage of Lea Rima's height.
I saw that when the ball was about to reach Lea Lima's hands, Zhuang Yan suddenly appeared in front of her and broke the ball directly!
"No, I saw her over there just now, why did you do it so quickly!" Alba Palau looked at Zhuang Yan in disbelief.
"Yitong, I'll leave it to you!" Zhuang Yan said as he gave the ball to He Yitong's hand.
"Leave it to me, captain!" He Yitong took the ball and ran quickly to the Spanish team's half.
"They've cut off Alba Palau's ball!Great, come on!" shouted Suki in the studio.
He Yitong took the ball just past half, so all the players of the Spanish team withdrew.
"What a fast return speed!" Xu Ning couldn't help but admire.
"That's the character of the Spanish team, it's amazing how fast they can defend!" Oda exclaimed.
However, at this time, I saw He Yitong throw the ball directly two steps away from the three-point line.
"What!" Alba Palau looked at He Yitong's shot in surprise, she didn't expect He Yitong to throw the ball so quickly!
"Can this goal be scored?" Cui Maixiang thought to herself as she looked at the ball in the air.
