270 Final Four Battle!

What is leadership temperament? Different people will certainly have different answers, but there is one thing that cannot be denied - people with leadership qualities must also have the courage to put themselves in a stressful situation at a critical moment!

Of course, another aspect of leadership is to have enough convincing strength - otherwise, let's think about the Rockets in the 10-11 season, when other teams encounter key shots, no one dares to shoot, but they are the opposite, they just dare to shoot, and everyone wants to shoot! It's a pity that they don't have the strength to match it as a basis.

This ball, Zhang Chen's pressure technology is the pressure brought by hundreds of millions of fans, because what he is doing now is to attract all the attention of the world to himself, to the basketball he throws. Although the opponent has three people coming up to defend, in his eyes, these people are just dirt chickens and dogs! After he used a back, all these people could only sigh, and the only way they could stop Zhang Chen from scoring was the last one left - pray that he didn't score.

It's really not a good thing to hope for at a critical moment, because it has no basis in reality.

Basketball, with everyone's expectations, has been getting closer and closer to the basket, getting closer and closer, and finally plunged into the basket!

As if a stone was smashed into the water, the basketball also entered the net and a circle of white net flowers, and the Chinese team won the game in this way, simply and neatly!

The game that beat Spain immediately caused an uproar, because of a strong team like Spain, the Chinese team can beat them and has proved their own strength, and the Chinese team is really worthy of everyone's attention in this competition. In the game against Spain, Zhang Chen scored 31 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists alone, which also reflects Zhang Chen's important surname to the Chinese team from another aspect, and the victory in overtime was largely due to Zhang Chen's shooting at critical moments.

If Zhang Chen received more praise and attention from everyone before the start of the Olympic Games because of his actions in Shuchuan, then he was unanimously praised by everyone this time because of his skills and the courage and strength to lead the team out of the predicament at critical moments. With the testimony of these two, Zhang Chen has become the most popular player here, and there is no doubt about it.

In comparison, Yao Ming's more contribution is reflected in his down-to-earth offense and defense first, his statistics are not gorgeous, but he also contributed to the process of winning the game. Of course, every victory in every game is a credit to everyone, and basketball is still a five-person sport after all.

After beating Spain, the Chinese team still has a relatively tight schedule, and on the third day after the defeat to Spain, the Chinese team faced the next opponent - Angola in the Olympic Basketball Stadium. This team is not unfamiliar from the perspective of the Chinese team, and they have played against each other several times. The Chinese team only lost to the United States by only 8 points, and then beat the Spanish team, and in this situation, the morale of the Chinese team was quite impressive, and they showed an unrivaled impact after the start of the game, and they launched a wave of attacks** in a short period of time.

So, seven minutes after the start of the first quarter, the Chinese team has a 6-point lead, and Zhang Chen shot a three-pointer in the first quarter, a total of 5 points, Angola can be said to have lost in the first quarter, although they have fought hard, but in the face of the threat of the Chinese team, they still chose to be dumb.

The second quarter of the game is basically a copy of the first quarter of the game, the Chinese team in the second quarter in full bloom, after the second quarter just started, Zhang Chen first assisted the inside Yi Jianlian jump shot next to the three-point line, and then grabbed a 2+1 himself, plus the efforts of other players of the Chinese team, they expanded the score gap to more than 10 points after the start of the second quarter nine minutes later.

The second half was a battle of luck between the two teams, with China needing to build up a lead as soon as possible, while Angola were looking to regain what they had just lost. Zhang Chen still walked up at the beginning of this section of the game, and now Zhang Chen's main task is to help the Chinese team score and keep scoring.

The Angolan team also started the bag defense against Zhang Chen, I have to say that the influence of tactics is also quite large, although Zhang Chen now has a nearly insoluble offensive means, but when he encounters the opponent desperately wrapping the clamp, he is still easy to take care of the other, the opponent's bag policy still has a certain impact on Zhang Chen, but he can still survive in the fierce defense.

In fact, on the first day of the game, Zhang Chen shook James twice in a row, and shook James + Kobe Bryant once, and it seemed that Zhang Chen got a lot of points that night, and the score was like a probe. It's just that if you investigate it carefully, you can still see that the main reason why he was able to shake off James was because of James's underestimation at first, and then because James lost his mind in anger. Later, the reason why Zhang Chen shook the two people at the same time was that there were still some problems in the defensive coordination between the two of them, and the tragedy was caused after interfering with each other.

If James is allowed to fight Zhang Chen intact, and does not take the enemy lightly, nor does he fight with Zhang Chen angrily, it is basically impossible for Zhang Chen to shake him down. Besides, James is not so stupid, over and over again.

Therefore, on this day, when Zhang Chen encountered the opponent's targeted defense, he still felt some pressure, and he still maintained a shooting rate of about 50% in the first two quarters of the game, but in the third quarter, when the Chinese team needed to completely establish a lead on the right hand, Zhang Chen stepped up again.

first received a pass and then hit a three-point shot, followed by a toss hit after a breakaway, which immediately gave the Chinese team a few more bricks to chase the ambition to open up the difference. And what is gratifying next is that the Chinese team's inside and outside line went crazy again, and they even created a legend of the team's three-point shooting in two minutes. Under the influence and help of this situation, the momentum of the Chinese team is getting higher and higher, and finally in the last 2 minutes of the third quarter of the game, the Chinese team has a score advantage of more than 20 points.

In fact, the fourth quarter of the game was indeed the case, the Chinese team completely suppressed Angola, after Yao Ming went to rest, the Chinese team left on the basketball court suddenly played a small piece of zero scoring small **, under the attack of the Chinese team, Angola fell under the butcher's knife of the Chinese team. Why is it the butcher's knife of the Chinese team? That's because the Chinese team beat their opponents by 26 points, and this point difference is no joke.

In this game, Zhang Chen scored 28 points alone, and after three games, Zhang Chen's average score per game was 33 points, which also helped Zhang Chen become the top scorer since the start of the Olympic men's basketball team.

After defeating Angola, the next opponent of the Chinese team is Germany, and the Chinese team is still more confident in the face of a team like the German team.

The game against the German team was really violent, Zhang Chen did not deliberately score, more to try to help his teammates complete an attack, with the support of his thoughts, the Chinese team's game was simpler, and they began to conquer the opponent in the first quarter of the game.

Zhang Chen played again in this quarter, he shot two three-pointers and two two-pointers in the first quarter, Zhang Chen also took advantage of this to reach 11 points, and it seems that Zhang Chen is quite ruthless, it is estimated that whether it is Zhang Chen or the Chinese team today, they are ready to let the Germans see.

The German team is also more interesting, in fact, they don't have much hope of defeating the Chinese team, and the German team has shown this thing in several previous matches with the Chinese team. As a result, the people of the German team played with less stability, and even turned the game with the Chinese team into an exhibition match between the two sides.

In the eyes of fans, such an attack is undoubtedly quite popular, but the Chinese team is also full of firepower in this section, and there seems to be nothing they can't do. In this quarter, the Chinese team was full of firepower and led the German team by 8 points.

After the start of the second half of the game, the German team was naturally beaten by China with a wave of small **, although the United States team said that it had let go of its hands and feet and was ready to do a big game. However, the Chinese team had already defeated the opponent in three quarters, and in the fourth quarter, the German team basically did not jump a few times to let the Chinese team win the final victory.

After this game, the Chinese team's world ranking is also quite high, and in the remaining two group games, they don't need to test too much, they just need to play their own level. Their next opponent is the Greek team, the strength of the Greek team is not bad, and it is also more than the Chinese team, so everyone is waiting for this team when facing this team, but although the Chinese team has also made a lot of efforts in this game, it seems that today's luck is not on the side of the Chinese team, they finally lost the game, and ended the game with 3 points behind the Greek team, and the ranking of the Chinese team has fallen slightly because of this.

In this way, after losing to the Greek team, the Chinese team also successfully advanced to the quarterfinals and achieved their goal of keeping eight, and now they have stood on the stage of the 4/1 finals, and the Chinese team is now one of the top eight. The first game after the quarterfinals is with Lithuania, speaking of Lithuania, many people can think of some grievances and grievances between him and the Chinese team, they have also fought many times, but the Chinese team is still a little more lost and won less, this time they can beat Lithuania has also become the key to whether the Chinese team can get a breakthrough in history and stand on the stage of the semifinals.

This game, just after the start of the two sides had a tragic fight, both teams are desperately trying to block each other, they are quite tenacious, the Chinese team in Zhang Chen, the new force joined, is also fierce, has not fallen behind, the two teams in the grappling and the score alternately improved in the end of the first quarter of the game.

It was a tough game for both sides, but they scored with love and continued to rise alternately until the end of the quarter, in which case the second quarter became a stage of the game that both teams had to fight. Zhang Chen was sent out early, anyway, only when Zhang Chen was on the court could the Chinese team's ball control be really intact and put on the real attack.

Zhang Chen hit a pull-up jump shot just after he came on the court, allowing the Chinese team to overtake the opponent by one point, and Lithuania also used an inside two-point shot at this time to return the color, seeing that they have become the same as in the first quarter, they are all fighting hard, they are trying their best to save the opponent, but the opponent is stronger than they imagined.

Still, it's nice to see the scorelines alternate with each other, and the suspense of winning or losing between the two teams has always been appealing, and it can develop into a rhythm – you get two points, I get two points, and anyone who accidentally breaks that rhythm may be despised by the fans.

Of course, in the eyes of the fans of the Chinese team, they still hope that their national team can win the game, after all, the moment of history has been placed in front of the Chinese team, and taking a step forward is that the predecessors have not reached the top four that have not been involved, and taking a step back may make this dream come to naught. Everyone applauded and cheered for the Chinese team, hoping that they could establish a lead as soon as possible. Perhaps influenced by the fans, a shot by the Lithuanian team finally missed the basket, was grabbed by the Chinese team, and finally let Zhang Chen dribble directly to the opponent's three-point line and shoot a jumper.

The Chinese team led the opponent by 4 points, which was already the largest point difference in the game so far.

Zhang Chen raised his hand and enjoyed the audience's bow and slowly retreated, his decisiveness caused the Chinese team to further expand the point difference, and the game finally took a little turn around.

Seeing that the game finally took a turn for the better, the Lithuanian players needed to rejoice - the game that had been alternating between the scores was like a pool of dead water. However, to their displeasure, it was not their team that broke the deadlock, but the opposing team.

This made Lithuania angry, and finally hit a three-pointer to chase back what they had just lost.

At this time, whether he can hold the scoring advantage is on the next ball, Zhang Chen did not shirk at all at this time, but went it alone again, he used two consecutive early changes of direction to shake off the defender, and finally easily scored a jumper outside the three-point line - his hand was as sharp as ever.

The score gap returned to 4 points again, and at this time Lithuania's new attack was blocked, the rebound was grabbed by the Chinese team, and after launching a fast attack, the Chinese team's lead became 6 points!

This became the beginning of the turning point of this game, Lithuania saw that the difference between themselves and the Chinese team was suddenly stretched to 6 points, and they were also very anxious, but they couldn't eat in a hurry, they made a mistake this time, but fortunately, the long man on the inside grabbed the rebound and passed to them to score on the outside shot. There were still 4 points left in the score gap, and then the Chinese team's offense also had a little problem when the offense and defense were converted, and Sun Yue, who finally executed the jumper, failed to put the basketball into the basket, which made Lithuania charge again.

The score was suddenly eroded to 2 points, and Zhang Chen once again chose to shoot himself, he hit a three-pointer near the 45-degree angle on the right wing of the three-point line, and finally made the score gap become 5 points again. The Chinese team began to really make a fortune from these five points, and they slowly maintained this score advantage and even increased it.

The current Chinese team has a point guard who can't steal at all, which has become their killer feature - the most important thing is that the guy who is quite flashy with the ball and has a pretty good offensive hand - even good is not enough to describe his offensive skills. With the Chinese team having such a man, the difference in strength between them and Lithuania was offset by chemistry indefinitely.

In this case, Lithuania trailed the Chinese team by 6 points at the end of the second quarter, a score that made the Chinese players and the spectators on both sides feel extremely excited.

At the beginning of the third quarter of the game, Zhang Chen was not able to play for the time being, and he also needed to recover his strength in the rest area, Lithuania finally tried to launch an offensive counterattack when the Chinese team lost Zhang Chen, but was not really effectively resisted, and after playing a wave of attack, the score gap was narrowed to 3 points.

In fact, Lithuania still has some experience in defending the Chinese team, but if you defend Zhang Chen, they can't find it at all, because you can't defend ...... Even if you have a way to defend it, that hit rate will surprise you.

Therefore, after having such a variable as Zhang Chen, Lithuania played very hard, and now Zhang Chen finally got off the field, they immediately launched a counterattack, after several attacks, Lithuania has completely offset the score advantage, and the tie was drawn, and Younas immediately called a timeout to replace Zhang Chen.

Zhang Chen's play gave the Chinese team a shot in the arm, he just came on the court and used a jumper to help the Chinese team stabilize the game, although the Lithuanian team's two-point shot was still colored, Zhang Chen used an unreasonable three-point shot to directly make the score gap into 3 points.

Zhang Chen has a height advantage in defending his players, and when he shoots with an unreasonable step-back jumper, opponents can't defend him at all.

After Zhang Chen came on the court, the Chinese team's offensive power was radiant again, and during this time, they finally maintained their advantage, once again turning the score gap to about 5 points, and then stabilized until the end of the third quarter.

It's just the end of the third quarter, and Zhang Chen has scored 23 points.
