Spain's all-out effort made the Chinese team feel the pressure skyrocketed, with Gasol and Gasol in the high post, and the oppressive defense on the outside was no longer of much use. Calderon can run around the Gasol brothers, ready to catch and shoot at any time, and their physical fitness is still better than that of the Chinese players, who were only caught off guard before.

After Fernandez hit back-to-back three-pointers, Spain chased the deficit to just one goal. The situation on the court suddenly became grim, the Chinese team has not scored in two rounds, once Sun Yue was stealed by Navarro, and once Chen Jianghua's breakthrough layup was interfered with by Gasol Jr., and now they urgently need a goal to stabilize the morale of the army, this task was naturally handed over to Yao Ming.

This time Yao Ming's position was very deep, he received the ball on the right side of the rebound, Chang Wei's eyes lit up on the sidelines, and it looked like Yao Ming was going to perform his tricks. For Yao Ming, who has received Olajuwon's inside foot training, receiving the ball in this position is almost equivalent to completing the finish, after getting the ball, he leaned on little Gasol with his back, and suddenly turned around with the ball after continuous back shaking, and took the lead in scoring the ball with a hook when Gasol came up to help defend, which was his "Shanghai dance step"!

Gasol Jr., who is responsible for defending Yao Ming, has been beaten by Yao Ming more than once in the NBA, and now he is still the same in the Olympic arena. But he can't say anything, this is inferior skills, there is nothing to say, he just secretly made up his mind that he must make Yao Ming look good the next time he defends against him.

It's a pity that Yao Ming didn't give him a chance, every time he feints under the basket, Gasol Jr. is deflated, if Gasol Jr. doesn't shake, then he will use a simple turnaround and step-back jumper to send the ball into the basket, and the result is still the same.

The Spanish men's basketball team will have a hard time stopping Yao Ming, who is on fire, so they are ready to play from the outside. Gasol and Pau both have one-handed passing skills, and the range is sufficient, they stand in the two elbow areas as a containment, and by the way to cover their teammates on the outside. Fernandez, Calderón and Navarro are not low in shooting percentage, and under the cover of two excellent interior lines, they only have a lot more shooting opportunities, and their running has also increased, and the Chinese team's outside defense is no longer so effective.

The difference between the two sides is always around two or three points, but the scene is very good, and the cheers on the scene are also wave after wave. With the quality of Chinese fans, they don't boo Spain too much, but when the Spanish players are ready to make free throws, there are always some people waving their inflatable sticks behind the rebounds, but this is the limit of what they can do.

At half-time, the two sides were tied at 49, which allowed the Chinese team to maintain their hopes of winning. However, Younas was prepared to let the players breathe at the beginning of the second half, as it was impossible for everyone to maintain a fast pace of offense and defense throughout the game, and a little slowing down would help the players take a breather so that they could beat the opponent in one fell swoop at a crucial moment in the fourth quarter.

At halftime, Younaste was interested in referring to Spain's outside shooting, saying: "The opponent is shooting very high, and now it seems that we can't stop it. But as their stamina drops, it's hard for them to keep their shooting percentage at that level, and that's when our chance, and we just have to stick to the basket and play it all the time. ”

Originally, everyone thought that the Chinese team would return color on the outside in the second half, but they didn't expect that Younas sent the inside combination of Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi, and the outside line was still Chen Jianghua, Sun Yue and Zhu Fangyu.

After the start of the third quarter, Spain continued their outside shooting strategy, but this is also because the Gasol brothers did not perform well in this game, so far the two have only scored 15 points and 7 rebounds, but also handed out a total of 8 assists, otherwise the two sides would not be able to tie now, but the offensive power still has to be handed over to the outside players.

In the second half, the offense of both sides was very interesting, the Chinese team mainly played inside, Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi took turns to hold the ball on the inside line, and the Gasol brothers defended very painfully; However, Spain focuses on the outside, Fernandez and other three people take turns to shoot outside the three-point line, Navarro often enters the inside line to play throwing, and the outside players of the Chinese team are also tired.

Chang Wei couldn't help but think of the "magic ball theory" of Morey, the general manager of the rocket in his previous life, which became the most important tactical guiding ideology of the rocket in the future. The core of the "magic ball theory" lies in the selection of offensive areas, and Morey believes that the most cost-effective way on the offensive end is to attack under the basket and three-point shooting, the former can ensure a shooting percentage, and the latter has an additional 1 point bonus.

Now China and Spain are in the two efficient shooting areas that specialize in the "magic ball theory", which also makes the two sides inseparable, and there is still no winner until the last minute of the game. The performance of the Chinese men's basketball team undoubtedly gave the fans a big surprise, and they had the opportunity to beat a top team like Spain, which was unimaginable before.

Spain took the lead in attacking, but they suddenly changed their minds, and Fernandez broke through Zhu Fangyu's defense after a series of feints, and licked the basket with a low hand before Yao Ming and Yi Jian joined forces to help the team seize the lead. But in the end, Zhu Fangyu hit a three-pointer in the bottom corner of Chen Jianghua's breakthrough shot, and it was thrown when Fernandez had already sealed his face, this three-point shot instantly ignited the enthusiasm of the whole court, and also helped the Chinese team to overtake by 1 point.

Neither side kept their hands open, and the two rounds were played quickly, with less than 25 seconds in total and 37.1 seconds left in the entire match, with each side theoretically having one chance to attack. With the ball back in Spain's hands, they were in no hurry to attack, and Calderón patiently controlled the time at the top of the arc and tried to drag the attack to 24 seconds.

With eight seconds left in the round, he fed the ball to Gasol Gasol, who was pulled out, and then began to run empty-handed. Calderon's run attracted the defense of the Chinese team, but at this time, Gasol suddenly jumped on the spot to shoot, and the basketball rolled into the basket obediently after a few knocks on the basket, and Spain completed the overtake again, leaving the Chinese team with 17.1 seconds.

Younas did not call a timeout, the Chinese team served in the backcourt, and Spain decisively took a full-court press, but Yi Jianlian's cover allowed Chen Jianghua to smoothly take the ball through the half, but it was only stuck at the 8-second time point. Spain's defense is in place, seeing that the time is about to come, Chen Jianghua's eyes are closed, and he flashes out of the shooting space and then makes a brazen shot, but the basketball smashes out of the frame, and there are only 2.1 seconds left before the end of the game, when the basketball pops up, seven or eight arms are waving in mid-air, trying to control the rebound. Among the arms, however, a longer yellow arm stood out and landed the basketball directly in mid-air into the basket, at which point the number on the timer had already reached zero.

Wukesong Arena was silent for a second, instantly filled with high-decibel cheers, and with Yao Ming's last-minute rebound, the Chinese team narrowly defeated Spain 80-79 and won the first victory in the Olympic men's basketball event.
