Chapter 199: Every Ball Must Be Fought (Fourth Update!) )
"Ding! Post system quests to get Olympic medals with 1 honor point. ”
When Tang Tian's blood was a little boiling, the prompt sound of the system came from his mind.
Here comes the task again.
It's just that there is only 1 honor point.
The system is still as picky as ever.
Beijing time on August 24, the last day of the Olympic Games.
At 12 noon, the 3/4 finals between the Chinese team and the Spanish team kicked off at the Wukesong Gymnasium.
Although it was noon, the stadium was full of spectators, and the hot weather did not deter the fans, but set off the fire of enthusiasm in their hearts.
"Chinese team, medal!" , "History is today", "Defeat Spain, again!" ”……
KT plates like these are everywhere.
When the Chinese team came out of the players' tunnel, the scene instantly erupted in deafening cheers.
After reaching the semi-finals, this team is already the pride of all of them.
At this time, looking at the players of the Spanish team, their faces no longer have the previous look of frustration, after all, they are all professional athletes, and what Tang Tian will do, an old coach like Ayito can do well.
It's bound to be an uphill battle.
After the pre-match warm-up, the starters of both teams came on one after another.
The Chinese team's starting line has not changed, the outside line is still the dual-control combination of Liu Wei and Sun Yue, Zhu Fangyu and Yi Jianlian on the front line, and Yao Ming in the center.
Spain's starting line-up was a big change from the group stage, with Calderón and Navarro as the team's starting backfield, Fernandez swayed to the No.3 position, and the Gasol brothers on the inside.
This is to put the team's strongest lineup directly in the start, the meaning is obvious, it will never give you the opportunity for the Chinese team to take advantage of the opening again.
Jumping on both sides, the more interesting thing is that both teams have changed individuals, the Spanish team is Gasol Jr., and the Chinese team is replaced by Yi Jianlian.
It can be seen that both teams attach great importance to the opening.
"Toot!"
As the referee's whistle blew, Yi Jianlian jumped first, and before Gasol Jr.'s long arm touched the ball, he dialed the ball back to the Chinese team's half.
The scene immediately resounded with enthusiastic cheers.
Crucial battles, every ball counts.
Sun Yue controlled the ball and advanced to the front court, directly handing the ball to Yao Ming in the high position.
From training to actual combat, and now to the last game of the Olympic Games, this team is already very familiar with Tang Tian's tactical system.
Spain made changes defensively.
In the group stage, most of the time Gabajosa was defending against Yao Ming, and this time, although Gasol Jr. was replaced, he used Gasol Jr. to defend.
Yao Ming responded at the free throw line, and the players of the Chinese team quickly began to run, Sun Yue and Yi Jianlian crossed to cut the basket, and Zhu Fangyu and Liu Wei took advantage of the two to block and go outside.
Although the player's ability has weakened, Tang Tian's system has successfully run.
Yao Ming threw his hand to Yi Jianlian, Yi Jianlian received the ball, a slowing down emergency stop jump shot, and the basketball drew a high parabola.
Gasol Jr. has a long arm span, but after all, it is the tonnage of the center, and the speed is half a beat slower.
"Huh!"
Yi Jianlian's mid-range hit, his hand today looks very good.
Tang Tian also nodded with satisfaction at this time.
Because there are not many honor points, he only exchanged the basketball IQ for Yi Jianlian, and he could go to the basket directly after receiving the ball just now, or he could stop and shoot, but Yi Jianlian saw the point where Gasol Jr. moved slowly and chose the latter, which is the embodiment of this.
But that's all there is to improve, Yi Jianlian's shooting is unstable, and he still has to watch the sky.
The good news is that in his shooting barometer, it was a sunny day.
In the Spanish team's attack, Gasol Jr. stood high and Gasol Jr. fell low.
With Navarro and Fernandez running and pinning down on the outside, Gasol Jr. stretched out his long arm to hoist the ball to Gasol Jr. on the inside.
Gasol Jr. received the ball and carried Yi Jianlian, a close-range hook hand.
Yi Jianlian has a great disadvantage in confrontation, although he tried his best, he still couldn't reach it.
"Bang!"
The ball hits the board and rolls into the hoop.
There was a sigh at the scene.
This little Gasol was a ball in the Spanish league before, went to the Rockets, and played a season under Tang Tian, and his strength has improved by leaps and bounds.
Tang Tian has cultivated talents for his opponents!
Tang Tian also got up at this time and signaled to change his guard, Yi Jianlian is now in this small body, and it is too much of a loss to deal with little Gasol.
The Chinese team's attack, Yao Ming sent a pass to Zhu Fangyu, but Zhu Fangyu's shot was a bit long, and the ball hit the edge of the basket and bounced high.
Gasol Jr. turned to collect the defensive rebound, but at this moment, Yi Jianlian jumped up from the side, reached out to grab the moon and took the ball into his arms.
Although the confrontation is not as good as Gasol Jr., his bounce is excellent.
Gasol Jr. didn't seem to expect Yi Jianlian to kill, his movements were half a beat slower, and when Yi Jianlian made a quick shot, his block became a thug.
Yi Jianlian went to the free throw line and hit both free throws.
The cheers at the scene shook the sky.
In this sunny day, Yi Jianlian's condition is as good as his hand.
The Spanish team's attack, Da Gasol fell to a high position, but when he turned around, he found that the person defending himself had become Yi Jianlian.
There was no defense for three seconds in the international basketball game, and Yao Ming was down to the basket.
It obviously didn't make sense to hang little Gasol again, and the big Gasol circled Navarro with his eyes, and Navarro ran over.
The two worked together tacitly, and the moment Navarro received the ball, Pau Gasol made a solid block for him.
Navarro catches the ball and shoots.
"Huh!"
Shoot steadily.
Although Navarro's performance in the NBA is not outstanding, as the king of Europe, he is the best in the international arena.
"Switch guards a little faster." Tang Tian continued to shout at Yi Jianlian on the sidelines at this time.
The game was very anxious from the beginning, and he stood on the sidelines all the time, and he had no intention of resting.
The trend of the game also confirmed this.
Zhu Fangyu scored a three-pointer here, and Fernandez returned one immediately.
Navarro broke one here, and Sun Yue over there immediately returned a big hat.
Here, Yao Ming grabbed the frontcourt board to make a foul and hit 2 free throws, and Gasol over there also immediately responded with a high jumper.
With the back and forth of the two sides, the emotions of the fans at the scene also rose and fell.
After more than half a quarter, the two sides were tied at 13.
The game did not have the absolute dominance as Ayito expected, nor did the Chinese team take the lead from the start as fans imagined.
The two sides fought a close match.
Towards the end of the first quarter, both sides began to rotate players.
Spain left only Fernandes as a starter.
The Chinese team also made substitutions one after another, but unlike the previous game, Tang Tian replaced Sun Yue and Yao Ming, but he still left Yi Jianlian on the field.
