Chapter 189: The Return of the King

Turkey won four in the group stage of the World Championships, but the defeat to group leaders Greece exceeded expectations, and their NBA players only came to Ilyasova, and Kotglu and Oku did not come with the team, showing their excellent team strength in this way.

But when it comes to the knockout round, everything is different.

After the game between the two teams began, the Chinese team won the jump ball, and Li Haihai suddenly started when the ball went to the front court, and hit a two-point shot.

Next, Yao Ming won two inside singles, and it was not until the Chinese team scored 9 points that Turkey scored for the first time.

In the middle of the quarter, the Chinese team led by 12 points.

The powerful offensive that is different from the group stage directly blinded the opponent.

After entering the rotation period, Turkey eased up, hit a few three-pointers, and at most chased the score to 5 points, but Wang Shipeng scored 5 points in a row to widen the gap between the two sides to 10 points.

At the end of the first quarter, China led by 11 points at 27:16.

This kind of performance made the fans in front of the TV very excited, and the Chinese team also played well when Li Hai and Yao Ming were resting, which was very gratifying.

In the second quarter, the Chinese team continued to maintain the offense, and Li Hai hit three consecutive three-pointers to extend the lead to 20 points, and he showed everyone that even if he was outside the three-point line most of the time, the threat was huge.

At 51:33, the Chinese team led by 18 points at halftime, completely playing the momentum of a strong team.

By the time of the second half, Turkey had lost their morale and had completely changed their appearance from the group stage, and no one stepped up at critical moments, which was their biggest weakness.

Many people expected the Chinese team to enter the quarterfinals, but they played so easily, even the players themselves did not expect that Li Hai and Yao Ming also got more rest time.

Three days later, they will face Olympic champions Argentina.

When it comes to the quarterfinals, every opponent is extremely strong, and if the Chinese team wants to go further, it must overcome the obstacles of those world powerhouses.

Argentina's core player Ginobili said before the game that he was looking forward to playing against the Chinese team.

He is also the only player to have won two NBA championships at the World Championships, and Argentine starting center Oberto is also his teammate with the Spurs, who also won an NBA championship with the Spurs.

However, no one has ever touched the championship trophy in this year's American Dream Team, so the fight between Lehi and Ginobili has been talked about by the outside world.

Argentina is strong, in addition to the two Spurs players, there are also Nocioni and Delfino in the NBA, and Scola who will become teammates with Yao Ming in the future.

After the start of the game, Argentina attacked aggressively, and the outside line fired frequently.

The opponent's defense of Lehi is Nocioni, who has played against him in the NBA, and when the Knicks played the Bulls, Lehi blew Nocioni several times, but the current situation is a little different.

Even if it's an understatement at all times, Lehi does have a problem with his ankle.

On Argentina's second attack, Nocioni hit a three-pointer through the cover of his teammates, and if there was no physical problem, Lehi would have had time to squeeze through, but now he is a little slower.

He would deliberately make a few breakthroughs in his previous games to prove that he was okay, and those who are familiar with him will know that those breakthroughs were all straight in and out, which is still a little different from his usual breakthroughs.

Before the quarterfinals, he stood on the outside and played the main organization to help the team win, but the opponent was Argentina, with three minutes left in the first quarter, Argentina led by 10 points at 20:10, and only three points from the Chinese team scored, which was the same as the last game.

Argentina are strong and can feel it both offensively and defensively.

During the pause, Lehi secretly decided that he could no longer have any scruples, and since he chose to continue to compete, he would go all out.

It's important for him to help the national team go further.

"It's time to cheer up and let's beat the opponent together."

After returning to the court again, Lehi gave people a completely different feeling, and after his teammates covered up, he went straight to the basket and scored a basket.

In the next few attacks, he was very tough, and he also beat Nocioni a 2+1, and at the end of the first quarter of the game, the Chinese team also chased 19:25 to only 6 points.

Two minutes into the second quarter, Lehi came back on the court, and then he started attacking mode, and under his full attack, Nocioni couldn't keep up with his speed at all, and the other Argentine backcourt players, including Ginobili, couldn't withstand Lehi's strength.

Argentina watched Lehi lead the team to slowly close the score, but there was nothing they could do.

On the inside, Oberto fouled Yao Ming for the third time and had to go to rest, and the Chinese team's interior height further dominated.

By the end of the half, the Chinese team overtook Argentina by 2 points 44:42 with Yao Ming's dunk.

Entering halftime with the lead, the confidence of the Chinese team also rose.

"In the second half we have to defend their three-pointers, Argentina like to shoot threes more than Europe, we have a height advantage inside, and we would rather let them go in."

After putting it together, Lehi didn't feel the pain in his ankle anymore, and he was a little excited to analyze the situation of both sides with the head coach, and his desire to win became stronger and stronger.

The Argentine team was also very unwilling to be overtaken by the Chinese team in the first half, and entered the third quarter to play more ferociously, and the first attack was hit by Scola to equalize the score.

But Lehi immediately returned the color and hit a three-pointer directly under the cover of his teammates.

Both sides have produced a lot of fouls because of the ferocious defense, the Argentine side Oberto has four fouls, Nocioni has three fouls and can only go off the court to rest first, and the three major inside lines of the Chinese team, Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian and Wang Zhizhi, have also committed three fouls.

The score between the two sides was tight all the time, and Li Hai did not go off to rest, and with only 58 seconds left in the first quarter, he caused Delfino to foul from outside the three-point line, and the Chinese team led by five points after hitting all three free throws.

After that, both sides did not hit, and the Chinese team entered the final quarter with a score of 65:60.

"We're getting better and better, and the win is definitely ours."

"Don't give the opponent a chance to shoot easily, don't care about physical strength, only ten minutes before we will make history for the national team, come on."

Everyone in the Chinese team was extremely excited, and they were more eager to win than the Argentine team.

After returning to the court, Lehi received the ball and hit a three-point shot.

Then he assisted Yao Ming to hit two points, Argentina was unwilling to be restrained, and guard Sanchez also hit a three-point shot, but Li Hai immediately played 2+1.

In the quarter-finals, Lehi was back to being the powerhouse who could do anything on the court. (To be continued.) )
