In the other semi-final, the United States comfortably defeated France, so that the two teams will play a final on October 1, the final day of the Games, to determine the men's basketball champion of the Games.

Coincidentally, this day coincides with China's National Day, and if the Chinese team can win this championship, it is undoubtedly the best gift to the motherland, and this special date also gives the Chinese team extra strength.

This final was preceded by a third-place and fourth-place final, which resulted in France beating Australia to claim a bronze medal, thus giving the three teams from Group A the top three places in the men's basketball competition at the Olympics, which also proved how much advantage Australia had in the draw.

This eye-catching final, this afternoon started, the two teams of China and the United States after the group stage, in the final again, the United States team into the final road is quite smooth, except for the first game only won the Chinese team 12 points, the other games are a big victory, and the Chinese team in addition to losing to the United States team one, other games also won a big game.

This proves that the Chinese and American men's basketball teams are the two best teams in the men's basketball competition in this Olympic Games.

Although the Chinese team performed well, it still did not arouse enough vigilance from the American men's basketball team, they think that the Chinese team is now a strong team, especially the existence of Ding Hongxing, which can cause them some trouble, but they believe that as long as they do not underestimate the enemy, they can still defeat the Chinese team, in fact, this kind of thinking is a kind of underestimation of the enemy, they do not really regard the Chinese men's basketball team as an opponent of the same level as them, this idea is fatal.

At the beginning of the game, the U.S. men's basketball team did not send a double package Ding Hongxing, but used Kidd to defend Ding Hongxing, although they know that Ding Hongxing is powerful, but they also have their pride as the American team, they don't want to cover any player all over the court.

To their surprise, Ding Hongxing did not take advantage of the opportunity of the US team's single defense to launch a personal attack, he repeatedly made the ball to Yao Ming on the inside, Yao Ming either used his feet to hook his hands, or hit singles with his back, or turned around and threw backwards to shoot, his shooting rate was very high, even if Mo Ning was once the winner of the NBA's best defensive player, but in the face of Yao Ming, who is so tall, flexible in footsteps, and comprehensive in offensive means, he can't prevent it, such a tall man, make the kind of backward jumper action that only a small guard can do, Is there anyone in this world who can block such a ball? Whether you can enter or not, you can only look at Yao Ming's own feel.

But today, Yao Ming's hand feeling is very good, the first five shots are five, and when he was in a back-to-back single, he also made Mo Ning a two-plus-one, plus a free throw, and scored eleven points.

This is not surprising, from the beginning of the group stage, Ding Hongxing has been deliberately creating singles opportunities for Yao Ming, Yao Ming played well in this game, is the second scorer and rebounder of the Chinese team outside Ding Hongxing, and his contribution to the block is second only to Ding Hongxing, which has completely cultivated his confidence, with such confidence, no matter who it is, it is difficult to prevent him alone.

Mo Ning was a little anxious, and it was easy to deform when he was in a hurry, but he used too much force in the process of defending Yao Ming's back-to-back singles, pushed Yao Ming to a stumble, and ate his second foul of the game, and was helplessly replaced off the court.

Mourning's depression is just a microcosm of the American team's game, the American team's habitual style of play is to defend with all their might, force the opponent to miss, and then grab the rebound, quickly launch a fast attack, and score easily, but in this game, the Chinese team hit hundreds of shots in the first few attacks, and they didn't grab a single rebound, which made them most accustomed to tactics unable to play, which naturally made them very depressed.

Of course, they can't play positional battles, but when a team is used to playing fast-break tactics in the previous games, they are like a spoiled child, and they can't bear to grind their positions.

Yao Ming hit both free throws again, so that in just three minutes, he had scored 13 points alone, while the U.S. team only scored two goals in the positional battle, and the Chinese team led the U.S. team by nine points by 13-4.

Tomjanovic called a timeout, he told the players not to be impatient, to play more patiently, but his words were obviously not listened to by the players, after the game restarted, Kidd dribbled the ball over the frontcourt, he was a very calm playmaker, he saw that there was no good opportunity to pass, so he handed the ball to Carter, he meant to let Carter transition the ball, and then return the ball to him immediately, but to his surprise, Carter in front of Hu Weidong, who was defending him, did not lose position, suddenly pulled out a three-point jumper, Such a shooting rate will naturally not be too high, the ball collapsed far, collapsed on top of Kidd's head, Kidd jumped up and wanted to accept the rebound, but he felt a black shadow flashing overhead, the rebound was snatched away by others, Kidd used the wrong force, fell to the ground after landing, he lay on the ground and watched the figure in the red No. 6 jersey after grabbing the rebound, directly a quick break dunk, and then the whole court boiled.

This is really an irony, the American team's inside advantage and speed advantage in the face of other teams have now become the advantage of the Chinese team, and the American team was caught off guard by the Chinese team's attack and had no power to fight back.

In the next half of the game, the situation on the court did not change for the American team, the Chinese team Yao Ming played the first quarter, he knocked Mo Ning off the court, and continued to play Antonio, who replaced Mo Ning. Davis, who caused Davis to foul twice and was replaced by Rahim, Rahim's height was even worse, and he had no power to fight back in front of Yao Ming, Yao Ming scored 21 points in the first quarter, and he can be called a big kill on the inside.

On the other hand, the offense of the American team, because there are not many backcourt rebounds, and the Chinese team pays great attention to retreat, even if the United States grabs the rebounds, it is difficult to get any fast offensive opportunities, they are stuck in the quagmire of positional warfare, which makes them impetuous, it is difficult to organize any effective offense, and every time they want to score in the simplest way, that is, the dry pull jump shot, but also their personal ability is too strong, they made a few incredible shots in the first quarter, so that the difference was not too wide, the first quarter of the game, The Chinese team led by eight points at 29-21.
