The referee stood on the middle line with a basketball in his hand, and the tallest players from the two countries stood on both sides of the center line, bowing slightly and staring straight at the basketball.

As soon as the referee's whistle blew, the basketball was thrown upward, and the players of the two countries rose from the ground, ready to seize the first offensive right in the women's basketball finals of this Olympic Games.

The center of country Z has a greater advantage in height, but the bounce ability is not as good as that of country A, and as a result, the center of country A is the first to touch the ball, and the fan-like slap is slapped on the basketball, and the basketball flies towards the other players of country A.

Just when everyone thought that the A country team had grabbed the right to attack, a small body suddenly rushed out of the oblique stab, like a cheetah during hunting, fast and powerful, ahead of the players of the A country team, and caught the basketball steadily.

From the referee's whistle to Qiao Mingle's beard, it took less than three seconds.

But it was these three seconds that gave great encouragement to the players of the Z national team.

Their captain, their core, their soul leader, at the beginning of the game, were like a female god of war in armor, they followed her, even if they couldn't call the wind and rain like her, but they couldn't hold her back.

The five players on the court of the Z country team all seem to have chicken blood, the pace of their feet is very fast, and the offense is also very orderly, and they will not use rough direct shooting because of their fast steps, but they are fast at their feet and fast in their hands, and they are the best at playing and the most traditional teamwork.

In the first round of offense, the basketball reversed hands more than a dozen times between the players of country Z, and finally passed to the hands of the big center inside, she singled with her back, and turned around and jumped at the right time.

The ball spun around the basket for a small half turn, and there was a thrilling landing in the basket.

There is discipline in the offensive side and the girls do a good job in defensively.

The players of the A team have an advantage in physical confrontation, so they will use their advantages to fight hard in attack.

This has undoubtedly added a lot of pressure to the defensive side of the Z national team.

However, the smart players also have countermeasures, and the hard burst will have physical contact, and the players will shrink the defensive formation, leaving only a small area in the middle for the opponent to attack.

When the team of country A rushes in with the ball, the defenders will quickly block several lines into the penalty area, and the opponent will hit people with the ball if he is not careful.

Of course, the players of the Z country team don't care whether the opponent hits the weight or not, and they fall to the ground, and the effect is better!

It's a battle of wits and courage, and if you want to win, you have to do both.

After one attack and one defense, Team Z led 2:0.

The game has only just begun, and two points are not an advantage at all, and the players still need to work hard.

And the hard power of the A country team is there, and it is destined not to let the Z country team go well.

The game was very exciting from the beginning, the players on both sides got into the groove quickly, the offensive and defensive transitions were quick and orderly, and the audience enjoyed watching it.

The two teams go back and forth, and the score rises alternately.

In the first quarter alone, there were four draws between the two teams, and by the end of the first quarter, there was only one point between the two teams.

Team Z temporarily led its opponent 24-23.

During the interval, Lao Jia asked Qiao Mingle worriedly, "Do you want to take a break?" ”

Although Qiao Mingle is only twenty-six years old, because he has been playing basketball for many years, he has injuries and illnesses, and his health is not as good as in earlier years. In the first quarter, she played too hard and didn't rest for a second, Lao Jia was afraid that she would not be able to support her in the second half, so she asked this question.

Qiao Mingle is measured, knowing that he can't be strong in such a competition.

After thinking about it for a while, he replied: "When I play more than two minutes in the second quarter, I will be replaced and I will be able to rest for a few minutes."

It's not just her who should rest, Ye Xiaoxiao and Jingjing, who are older than her, have also entered the next rotation lineup.

As a result, Team Z will have several minutes to play with the second team in the second quarter of the game. If the A country team does not rotate in a large area, this is a good opportunity for them to chase points and even increase the score.

Sure enough, the veteran A national team did not waste this opportunity.

When the three main players of the Z country team were rested and the second team was rotated, they played the Z country team 6:0, and Lao Jia was forced to call a timeout.

After the pause, all the starters of the Z country team returned and worked hard to chase the points.

The two teams go back and forth, often scoring a goal by themselves and the other side returning one, so it is very difficult to chase points.

At the end of the first half, the Z country team trailed the opponent by seven points.

At half-time, the players sat in the dressing room and actively discussed how to deal with the second half.

Half a game, twenty minutes, it is not impossible to catch up with seven points, so the players did not lose confidence.

Qiao Mingle stood in front of the chair, listening to his teammates and slapping his body hard.

She wants to keep her muscles active, so that she can always stay excited, so excited that she forgets the pain and forgets the fatigue, so that she can play longer in the second half.

Jing Jing and Ye Xiaoxiao moved to sit next to her.

"Lele, I'm really old", speaking quietly, "With such a strong physical confrontation, I feel as tired as I used to play the whole court after playing for more than ten minutes."

Ye Xiaoxiao also agreed: "I can still hold on now, but when I finish the game and rest, I will be uncomfortable, and I will definitely have a lot of pain all over my body."

Qiao Mingle, as the younger of the three of them, smiled and comforted them, "It's not that bad, even the young players will hurt after playing this kind of game." I'll talk to Lao Jia in a while, and try to let you rest more in the second half and give the players more chances."

"What about you?" Ye Xiaoxiao asked.

Qiao Mingle smiled, "I'm still young, even if I play two more overtime after the game, it's no problem."

Ye Xiaoxiao reached out and slapped her butt hard, "Crow's mouth!" Forty minutes must be solved in the battle, and playing overtime is to find death! ”

Earlier, the whole team was tired of playing three overtimes, and they didn't want to go through this again. And the body of the A country team is much better than them, and the longer the game drags on, the better it will be for them, isn't the Z country team just looking for death.

When halftime came, the players were back on the pitch.

In the second half, the two teams continued to attack.

The Z country team still plays tactical coordination when attacking, and never fights alone unless it is absolutely necessary.

The ball rotated quickly between the players, and with five seconds left on the offensive time, the ball passed to Qiao Mingle, who was crouching outside the three-point line, and she rose to shoot a three-pointer with a defender in front of her.

The view is blocked by the defender, and the shot is all about feeling.

Obviously, Qiao Mingle's ball sense in this game is not bad, and this three-point shot actually scored!

In the next few rounds of offense, Qiao Mingle hit two more three-pointers under the cover of his teammates.

Her teammates knew her hand was hot, but they would have poured the ball into her hand whenever they had the chance.

At the end of the third quarter, with two minutes left, the Z country team relied on Qiao Mingle's fiery hand to overtake the opponent by two points at 67:65.

There are still twelve minutes left before the end of the game, and the real battle between the two teams has just begun! (To be continued.) )
