Chapter 456

At this moment, whether on or off the field, players or spectators, the spirit is highly concentrated.

Everyone is waiting for the final moment to come.

Finally, the moment has arrived!

Hao Peng received the ball inside and was sandwiched by Dunn and James, originally in this case, Hao Peng was able to pass the ball out, but because he played for too long and was on the court at the same time to bear the burden of offense and defense, Hao Peng's physical fitness has bottomed out, and he couldn't get rid of it for a while in the bag between Dunn and James!

Just when Hao Peng was distracted, James was quick with his eyes, and a hand knife cut on the basketball with great precision, directly cutting off the basketball in Hao Peng's hand.

"Hurry back to defense!"

On the sidelines, Wang Xiao couldn't help but clench his fists and shouted.

Now is the most critical moment, even if Hao Peng makes a mistake, he must not let the American team attack quickly!

However, the sprinting American team is too terrifying, especially Durant, who has been waiting for an opportunity on the outside, when he moved his long legs and ran wildly, Wang Meng next to him couldn't even pull it.

After James grabbed the basketball, he threw the basketball to the front court, and the basketball was passed to Durant, at this time, the only one who had time to defend the Chinese men's basketball team was Jeremy Lin, who was still in an unheard situation, Durant took two steps directly, a tall hand layup, and easily relied on Jeremy Lin to send the basketball to the basket.

90:90! The two teams are tied!

Wang Xiao called out for a timeout without hesitation.

At this time, more than half of the fourth quarter of the game has passed, although there is still more time left, but the score is tied and the physical fitness of the players is also problematic, Wang Xiao must call a timeout, on the one hand, so that the players can rest for a while, and on the other hand, they can also rearrange their tactics.

"Due to physical reasons, Hao Peng's lethality on the inside line is not as good as before, the outside line must give him enough support, Yi Jianlian, next you help Cheng Jie cover without the ball, Cheng Jie as long as he receives the ball in the open position on the outside line, don't hesitate to shoot immediately, I need you to show the same firepower as in the first quarter!"

In the second and third quarters of the game, Cheng Jie's hand felt slightly cooled, and since the first quarter of the game, the U.S. team's defense of Cheng Jie has been much tighter, and every time he runs or covers without the ball, someone will immediately make up for it, so Cheng Jie scored a total of 15 points in the last two quarters of the game.

In the fourth quarter of the game, Cheng Jie did not have a chance to shoot, but only relied on free throws to score 2 points, and his personal score was temporarily fixed at 41 points.

41 points is already a very rare data for a player who played in the Olympic Games, but it is not enough for the current Chinese men's basketball team to win.

Wang Xiao needs Cheng Jie to continue to score, and it is the best to break the Olympic personal single-game scoring record of 55 points.

"I'll try! Instructor! Cheng Jie nodded.

"Hao Peng, I know you're tired, but then you still need to make the appearance of the main attack, so that the attention of the American team is more focused on you."

Hao Peng also nodded.

The timeout ended soon after, and players from both sides returned to the field.

After Jeremy Lin dribbled past half court, he stopped at a 45-degree angle outside the three-point line, while Hao Peng squeezed hard into the interior and fought with Dunn to get stuck in the position.

Sure enough, seeing Hao Peng's appearance, most of the attention of the players on the field of the American team was focused on him, and at this time Cheng Jie suddenly moved.

George, who was defending him, reacted quickly and immediately followed Cheng Jie, but before he could run two steps, he collided with Yi Jianlian, who was covering and blocking.

After a short circle on the inside, Cheng Jie ran out of the outside line, and almost at the same time, Jeremy Lin's ball also arrived.

However, what made Wang Xiao frown slightly was that when Cheng Jie received the ball outside, someone had already come to Cheng Jie to make up for the defense.

As the player who made the U.S. team deflated in the first quarter, it was still a little difficult for Cheng Jie to make the opponent completely ignore it.

But at this moment, Cheng Jie did not pause or hesitate at all, and jumped directly.

Although the opponent made up the defense in a timely manner, it was still a little far away from his position, which may slightly interfere with his line of sight, but it is absolutely impossible to form a block or completely block his view.

Sure enough, when he jumped high, Cheng Jie found that he still had a very broad field of vision in front of him, and he did not hesitate to raise his hand and throw!

"Brush!" Basketball entered the net, 93:90, the Chinese men's basketball team took the lead again!

"Well done!"

It seems that Cheng Jie's fiery hand has not completely disappeared, and the opponent has obviously interfered with his vision of this ball, but it has not stopped him from hitting the shot.

The U.S. team attacked, James singled Jeremy Lin with his back to the basket, and took advantage of Hao Peng's lack of time to help defend the front hook shot, but the basketball knocked on the back edge of the basket and missed, Dunn grabbed the rebound in the front court and missed the basket, and Hao Peng took the rebound back.

The Chinese men's basketball team attacked, Jeremy Lin passed the ball directly to Hao Peng on the outside, and after Hao Peng dribbled the ball twice with his back, he passed it to Cheng Jie on the other side, no one expected that Cheng Jie would shoot again after receiving the ball! This time, George reacted quickly, and a pair of hands completely blocked the vision in front of Cheng Jie, without the slightest gap, but after the basketball crossed an arc in the air, it actually went in again!

96:90!

Old K's face turned pale, and he couldn't help but call a timeout.

This is completely unreasonable, it is a hard three-point shot, but people just throw it! And it's two in a row, what can I do?

At this moment, there are only three minutes left before the remainder of the game, and although the difference of six points is not too large, it is an insurmountable barrier when there is no way to limit the opponent's scoring.

After the timeout, the U.S. team began to change tactics, with Dunn off, Cousins re-introduced, and Irving on the court.

Wang Xiao couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he saw this, it seems that Lao K is also ready to take the three-point route.

Sure enough, after a burst of running and passing cover, the basketball was handed over to Thompson, who ran out of the gap, and Thompson grabbed Wang Meng to shoot before he stepped forward to make up for the defense, and the basketball went into the net! 96:93。

Before the U.S. team could breathe a sigh of relief, the Chinese men's basketball team came again!

originally replaced Dunn, Cousins and Irving, and Lao K had completely given up defending Hao Peng and wanted to fight for three-pointers in the last 3 minutes.

However, the Huaxia men's basketball team did not mean to attack the inside, and the basketball was once again handed over to Cheng Jie, and at the same time, with the blocking and passing, Cheng Jie actually stood in front of Owen in a disposition.

Owen is 1.88 meters tall and Cheng Jie is 2.01 meters, and there is a huge gap between the two in height, which makes Owen unable to effectively interfere with Cheng Jie at all.

Cheng Jie shot again on the outside!

"Brush!"
