Thanks to 5177311 for the commuter pass!

While the football game was underway, the third round of the Chinese men's basketball team was also going on at the same time.

Today's opponent is very interesting, again...... Team Japan.

The Chinese team, which was originally eliminated by Japan in the first round, did not expect the ups and downs, and it was not hung up by this time.

However, it is a bit surprising that the Japanese team can stay in the third round, because although they won against China in the first round, their strength is actually mediocre, and they do not have an advantage in body and height compared to foreigners.

For the Chinese men's basketball team, the good news is that the backbone of the team, Coach Dong Shouyi finally returned to the sidelines today and can guide his disciples.

He knows very well that these current disciples are not all the best basketball players in China, and he also knows the root cause and inner demons of the first loss to the Japanese men's basketball team.

Of course, the strength of the Japanese men's basketball team this time is indeed good, which needs to be admitted.

Because of the collision with the football game again, although it is still the focus of the battle today, and it is a life-and-death battle without the losers group after elimination, there are not many basketball fans present to support it.

Coach Dong felt that this was not necessarily a good thing, and the first thing he did when he came back was to adjust the player's mentality back to a calm state.

Before the game, he gave a brief reprimand to the players:

"All of you here are well-known basketball players in Shanghai and the whole country, and it is a great honor for us basketball players to be here, to come to Berlin, to participate in the World Games, and this is the first time that there is a basketball event in the World Games. I feel very fortunate to have this opportunity to fight alongside each and every one of you. ”

"In the '20s, I went to Springfield College in Springfield, Massachusetts, and eventually, I came back, and I was often asked, 'What inspired you to come back to teach?' The truth is, however, I never thought about it. Isn't it common for you to have some ability to contribute to the country and make some contributions? ”

Coach Dong Shouyi was the first basketball student in China and later the chairman of the Basketball Association of New China. During his more than two years of studying at the famous sports school Chuntian College, he proved with his diligence and talent that yellow-skinned Chinese are not born "sick men", and the school in Chuntian greatly appreciated him, and after his studies, the college arranged a job and housing for him, and tried his best to keep him working at the college. However, he did not cherish the rich material life and good working conditions in the United States, and resolutely returned to China in 1925, known as the early pioneer of Chinese basketball.

"But you tend to think about these things too complicated. It's not a must-win sport, and there are many ways we can show how good we are, how well we train, how we can be Chinese athletes – of course, it's better to win, but it's not the only one. I've missed a lot of games and I'm back today – so I want to say thank you to be able to enjoy every day with you guys, and I realise how much you mean to the youngsters who come to see us on the sidelines, show them our skills, our energy and our hard work! ”

Captain Wang Yuzeng expressed his agreement on behalf of his teammates, welcomed the return of Coach Dong, and looked forward to the start of the game.

At the beginning of the first half, the result was just the beginning, the Japanese player slipped and lost the ball, was stealed by Wang Yuzeng, and directly and quickly counterattacked and made a layup, easily 2:0!

Then the Japanese team missed the shot in the attack, and was snatched by Shen Yugong from the frontcourt men's basketball team, and the ball was once again in the hands of the captain, and the Japanese player fouled Wang Yuzeng when he shot, giving the Chinese team 2 free throw opportunities. Wang Yuzeng made two free throws and scored 4 points in a row, and the Chinese team also started 4-0!

This won a cheer from the sidelines, it seems that the team's mental outlook has indeed changed a lot after Coach Dong returns!

But the Japanese team was not vegetarian until the third round, and quickly fought back, hitting two goals in a row to draw 4.

Not to be outdone, the Chinese team first assisted Wang Yuzeng, and the last game repeatedly shot from a distance of several meters "Zhu Fangyu", and then the Japanese team made a passing mistake again, was stealed by Mu Zuoyun, and threw it directly to the basket, Wang Yuzeng, who stepped into the penalty area in a few steps, rose to the ground and dunked in the air! Turning back, the Japanese team missed the shot again, the Chinese team grabbed the rebound, replaced Wang Yuzeng and threw a peach to repay Li, an accurate and wonderful pass, and Mu Zuoyun hit a jump shot!

The Chinese team played 60 small **!

Opened with a lead of 104!

Just a few days ago, they just played against each other, but the Chinese team in front of them is completely different from the previous mental outlook, which surprised many Japanese players. During this time, their shooting hand is really poor, but basketball is not all about scoring more goals, and it can also make opponents unable to shoot. They began to intensify their defense, and their movements were fierce, and the referee also took a tacit attitude. On the defensive end, the Japanese team also frantically scrambles for rebounds, all kinds of flying collisions, anyway, the Japanese basketball players have good food and enough nutrition, and they are not inferior to the Chinese team. Relying on the brutal style of play, the Japanese team gradually pulled the momentum back to their side, the center scored 6 points, leading the team to play 70 small **, and the Japanese team led by 6 points with 1812 with 3 minutes left in the first half.

Coach Dong saw that the momentum was not right, and hurriedly instructed the players not to be impatient, and then throw when the opportunity came out, to stabilize the hit rate. At the last moment, the Chinese team performed well, chasing 4 points in a row, Wang Yuzeng and Mou Zuoyun each scored a goal, and the Chinese team ended the first half with 1618 behind by 2 points.

The Japanese team grabbed a total of 16 rebounds in the first half, including 4 frontcourt rebounds, of which the center alone contributed 6 rebounds, which obviously exploded the Chinese team. The main reason is that the Chinese team's card position selection is not good, and the awareness of protecting the rebounding ball is not enough. At halftime, Coach Dong hurriedly gave on-site guidance to the players.

The situation has indeed changed.

Shortly after the start of the second half, the Chinese team fired again and again, Wang Yuzeng and Mou Zuoyun also scored a long-distance ball each, after the last game, they have found that although the shooting percentage is low, the score will not be more, but it can involve the opponent's defense and change the situation of the Japanese team's basket crowding. The duo led the team to play a counterattack wave of 80, and soon the Chinese team overtook the Japanese team by two points 26-24.

In addition to the reflection of the score, the Chinese team also played a smooth cooperation, and the whole team began to feed each other, among which Wang Yuzeng alone sent 3 passes to his teammates. Shen Yugong and Mou Zuoyun took turns to attack successfully, and the more they played, the smoother they played, and the Chinese team led the Japanese team by as many as 7 points with 3528 with 5 minutes left at the end of the game!

During this time, the Japanese team also fell into the trap of mistakes, making as many as four or five mistakes.

The few Chinese viewers felt rejoicing, and it seems that the basketball team has been humiliated and successfully advanced to the quarterfinals today!

But the character of the Japanese is tenacious, and they will not give up easily until death.

Wang Yuzeng fouled the opponent when he shot, giving Japan two free throws. With these two points, the Japanese team regained momentum. The Chinese team was in poor condition at the end of the game, made frequent mistakes, and had a poor feel. Japan made many free throws to the basket and made a number of free throws, and today they made good free throws, hitting 5 of 6 and shooting 83 from the field.

By the last minute of the game, 41-40, the Japanese team narrowed the gap to only one point!

However, at the last moment, the ball is still in the hands of the Chinese team, as long as they do not make mistakes, the initiative of victory is still in their own hands. Coach Dong stood up and watched the game.

But what are you afraid of!

Wang Yuzeng, who was steady throughout the game, slipped and lost the ball when he attacked, and was stealed by the Japanese team!

Scoring is overtaking, and the Chinese team was forced to have no choice but to foul the Japanese team players and give the Japanese team 2 free throws again. But today, the Japanese team's free throws felt really good, and they still hit two free throws steadily!

42 to 41! Japan had been behind for most of the time since half-time, but they came back from behind at the last minute!

Is this the fate of the team?

Time is running out! Coach Dong Shouyi immediately called a timeout and arranged the last attack.

This is also the moment of success and defeat, as he himself said, when he can win, he must fight for it no matter what.

Then the game resumed, and the whole crowd stood up, and most of the crowd supported the Japanese team because the football team had been eliminated, and the basketball team was already the last hope for the Japanese team.

Amid the tsunami-like boos, the Chinese team sent a sideline ball. Coach Dong Shouyi slowly paced on the sidelines with his hands in front of his chest, watching the players run on the field with confidence, as if everything had been calculated by him.

After delaying for a while, Mu Zuoyun rushed into the basket with the ball, as if he was going to go to the basket to kill the game - the Japanese team replaced all the tall players, with long arms, but Mu Zuoyun did not choose to attack by himself, jumped up in the air and suddenly threw the ball to his side!

Share the ball!

Wang Yuzeng catches the ball!

The Japanese players reached out and went up to block it!

Wang Yuzeng drifted behind him!

Step-back jumper!

Hollow into the basket!

The Chinese team is a whistle killer!

When Wang Yuzeng threw in the game-ending ball, the time on the timer ran out and he opened his arms to accept the hugs of all his teammates.

At the same time, the audience erupted in loud cheers from a few Chinese fans and a disappointed sigh from Japanese fans!

And the only person who has no expression and is the most calm is the coach of the Chinese team, Dong Shouyi, who has not fully recovered from his current position.

When he saw that Wang Yuzeng was not the best opportunity, but he hit a three-point shot, Dong Shouyi still maintained the same posture and stood calmly on the sidelines. At this time, the bench of the Chinese team had exploded, but he did not have the slightest superfluous celebration. He looked at the referee calmly, without receiving his signal, and it was not yet time to sit back and relax.

It's long overdue, I heard the referee's whistle!

The game is over!

The Chinese team defeated the Japanese team with 4343 and won the game! Successfully advanced to the quarterfinals of the Olympic Games!

This time, there was no land chasing tigers, only the coaches and the players themselves achieved revenge on the sworn enemy Japanese team!

And the next time the Chinese men's basketball team has such glory, it will not be until 1996, 60 years later.

Well, this is also perhaps, in this time and space, China may achieve more, otherwise, Lu Zhuhu will not run this trip in vain?

……

After returning to the Olympics, Lu Zhuhu and others also received good news from the basketball team. Double happiness is coming, which can be called the moment when the Chinese team has once again proved itself in the three major ball events.

"Actually, I would love to coach the basketball team as well." Ning Xiaolong sighed and said, the itinerary was in a hurry, and he didn't have time to show his talent in this area, which was really unfair to him to behave like this.

"That's our football team needs a head coach-" Lu Zhuhu just wanted to say, looking back to see if there was Coach Yan, he would definitely be unhappy again when he heard it: "The basketball team doesn't need it, Coach Dong is already a very professional basketball coach, and even compared with those in the United States, he is a regular professional." ”

"But we have things they don't have, like a lottery system." Ning Xiaolong said seriously: "I still want to see if Sister Zheng Haixia can play a basketball game at this time, can she blow up these male athletes." ”

Lu Zhuhu: "......"

Sighing, Lu Zhuhu said: "I'm afraid you are underestimating the ability of athletes at this time, I have seen it, I found that the middle and long-distance runners in the future generation, the top level of my country is not even comparable to the preliminary results of the group stage at this time...... The gap is still very large...... Not to mention female athletes......"

Just think about the former women's national football team, the World Cup runner-up, who played with the men's table tennis team Wang Liqin for a while, and was scored 4 goals...... Where to reason......

The two argued for a while about how strong the female and male athletes were, and then someone suddenly came to find Lu Zhuhu:

"Mr. Lu, Mr. Prime Minister, in order to thank you for your heroic actions yesterday and saved him from being harmed by shameless and despicable assassins, I hope to invite you to lunch again tomorrow - if you have time, you must appreciate the trouble."

Well? Hitler was going to invite him to dinner again?

But when he heard the "heroic act", Lu Zhuhu couldn't help blushing, he was a heroic fart! Yesterday, I found a sniper, and basically kept running away, still rolling around under the car, covered in mud, and finally shouted "Brother Da Long, help"...... It simply doesn't get any more embarrassing than that.

It's just that no one has seen the famous Lu Poyu so disgraced, there is, there is, but the Japanese ninja who is not long-eyed is still a spy or an assassin, and he has been easily killed by Brother Da Long......

Ning Xiaolong pondered for a moment: "Invite again?" Does the Führer often invite you to dinner? Is your face so big now? ”

Lu Zhuhu said modestly: "No, no, there are more people who want to invite me to dinner, I'm so busy, how can I go to them all." “

"No, the Führer, please eat, I'm going too, you bring me with you!"

"Haha, don't say I can't bring anyone, even if I can, you'll already be back by this time tomorrow-" Thinking of Brother Da Long staying for such a day, it is indeed a little unpleasant, and a little reluctant.

"Hmph, then I'll go by myself, I'll see who can stop me......"

Lu Zhuhu thought for a while, and smiled again: "Today, football has entered the finals, basketball has also entered the quarterfinals, Chen Zhenxing and Yang Xiuqiong have won gold medals again, and the rewards will definitely not be bad, so it's better to be like this, when Guo Bei's kid comes today, I will ask him to help Shun for a day, let you stay for one more day, and I will take you out to play, okay?" ”

But there was no response.

"Okay, would you like to reply?"

Still no response.

Lu Zhuhu turned his head, but found that Brother Da Long didn't know when he had disappeared.
