Chapter 130: Into the Devil
After the half-time break, the game resumed in the second half, and Li Zhi turned his head to look at the data on the scoreboard, and China was still four points behind.
In the third quarter, the Chinese team's offense did not go well, Du Feng, who had just come on the court, made two consecutive mistakes to give Argentina the opportunity to break fast, and Ginobili and Nocioni scored two points each, 44:52, and the difference widened to eight points.
Time out!
Younas did not hesitate to cut off Argentina's momentum at the right time, and he was unhappy with the Chinese team's defense.
The fans were all anxious, watching the Chinese team's gradually lazy defensive attitude was very ironclad.
Li Zhi also found that since the Argentine counterattack in the second quarter, the defense of the Chinese team has been slack, and if it were not for Li Zhi's continuous defense, the score gap in the first half may be even greater.
Of course, in addition to the relaxation of China's defense, there is another reason for Argentina's counterattack, Ginobili.
Following Argentina's bench, you can see that Argentina sits in the middle position, which represents Ginobili's position in the Argentine national team, and Yao Ming sits in China.
At this time, the soul of the Argentine team was not bald, but looking at the loose hair, Li Zhi could conclude that this guy was not far from baldness.
As the hair gets shorter and shorter, Ginobili's technique is indeed getting more and more demonic. After the 04 Olympics, Ginobili won a championship with the Spurs, and that year, when Li Zhi first entered the NBA, he witnessed the little emperor fall at the feet of the three elders of the Spurs.
In the first half, Ginoby used his unique stunt European step to ravage the penalty area of Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian's combination over and over again, even if Yao Ming's defensive skills are not bad, it is still difficult to keep up with Ginobili's strange rhythm, worthy of the name of "Demon Knife".
However, this is so enjoyable, and Li Zhi's fighting spirit is getting higher and higher.
"Li Zhi, after you get on the field, strengthen the breakthrough, attack, and if the defense is not good, then we will attack them!"
Younas looked at Li Zhi and said, from his eyes, Li Zhi saw a little helplessness. With the successive victories, the relationship between Li Zhi and Younas has been eased, and now there is a desperate situation on the spot, and the first person he thinks of is not Yao Ming, but Li Zhi.
No matter how good Yao Ming's skills are, he is also a pure inside line, and in the case of chasing points, it is obviously not as suitable as Li Zhi's breakthrough and excellent three-point outside line.
Li Zhi nodded, feeling like he was in danger.
After the timeout, the Chinese team had the ball.
Commentator Wang Meng said: "Ginobili is in good shape now, and if he can't prevent Ginobili's breakthrough, Argentina's offensive climax is coming!" ”
Yang Yi analyzed: "It seems that we can only send Li Zhi to defend Ginobili now, but if this happens, Li Zhi will definitely not be able to use his full strength on the offensive end." ”
Yang Yi is right, Li Zhi in the first half was because he constantly took care of Sun Yue and Zhu Fangyu, resulting in not much way to concentrate on the offensive end. Human energy is limited, even James can't take care of offense and defense every round, and occasionally see a player sore on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, and those are also crucial rounds.
If you ask a player to do their best both offensively and defensively, the only result is to exhaust the player.
After Li Zhi came on the court, he attacked with the ball, did not pass, outside the three-point line, taking advantage of Nocioni's lack of concentration, Li Zhi took the lead in three points.
The hearts of fans were instantly pinched by Li Zhi's shooting, which is not uncommon in the NBA, but in the international arena, when it comes to critical moments, usually teams will run tactics and slowly look for opportunities.
So when Li Zhi reached the three-point line and immediately shot, many people were not optimistic about Li Zhi's choice, but when everyone was stunned, the basketball fell into the basket with a "bang".
47:52
After a moment of stunnedness, the audience exclaimed, and then they knew how much Li Zhi was a player who did not play cards according to common sense.
Nocioni, who was **, did not act recklessly, but instead used his running position to run with Li Zhi all over the field, Li Zhi didn't dare to follow too closely, and he also paid attention to another person in Argentina - Ginobili.
Ginobili, who held the ball, also entered the inside line this time, but after being interfered with by Yao Ming, the basketball spun around from the basket and jumped out, Yao Ming picked up his fingertips and got the rebound.
Li Zhi opened his hand to receive Yao Ming's pass, directly accelerated the fast attack, and came to a dunk like a god.
Under the infection of Li Zhi, the Chinese team's subsequent offense finally regained some feeling, and the mistakes were reduced a lot, but the opponent was not weak, so at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, China still did not take advantage.
In this case, Li Zhi could only rely on Kobe's magic skills to break through the frame, constantly impacting Argentina's outside defense, mid-range shooting, three-pointers, and layups to keep chasing points, Li Zhi's super personal ability stabilized the situation, but at the end of the third quarter, the Chinese team was still three points behind.
Because Argentina's Ginobili is also red-eyed, three-pointers, mid-range shots, layups, and scoring in a different way each time, it looks more ornamental than Li Zhi's offense, and the efficiency is amazing.
In the third quarter of the confrontation between Li Zhi and Ginobili, he was broken through by Ginobili elegantly, and Li Zhi roared in his heart: This is a full-level defense, so easy to be passed?
Enchanted!
Thinking of this word in his head, Li Zhi couldn't help but shiver. At the end of the third quarter, Li Zhi took the data sheet and looked at it for a long time.
Ginobili, 28 points, 7 assists, 4 rebounds and 2 steals.
At this time, Li Zhi was extremely sure in his heart that Ginobili had definitely entered such a fiery state.
76:79
Seeing this point difference, the fans who are watching the live broadcast are not comfortable, although before the game, both the official media said that the men's basketball team has completed the goal, but now it is the semi-finals, this is to win, the worst is a silver medal, the losing side can only compete with another eliminated team to compete for the bronze medal.
said that there was no idea at all, even if the fans themselves didn't believe it, but in the atmosphere of consecutive wins, everyone became a lot more tolerant of the men's basketball team, and everyone tacitly did not put pressure on the men's basketball team.
But no one expected that the men's basketball team's game started from the second quarter, and it was so depressing, and there were several opportunities to chase points, but every time a fatal mistake occurred.
Li Zhi knew that the reason for all this was nothing more than that some people had already obtained the standard of leadership, and they were slacking off in their hearts, and it could even be said that everyone never thought about winning this game.
Now the men's basketball team has entered the semifinals, which has never been seen in the history of the Chinese men's basketball team, but thinking about their opponent is the last Olympic champion Argentina, it can be said that before the game started, many players have given up in their hearts.
