Reborn in the 96 golden generation

Chapter 485 Breaking into the semi-finals of the World Championships

Zhou Yu controlled the ball near the top of the arc, Hu Weidong made an air cut, Li Xiaoyong and Wu Qinglong made fast interspersed runs, Yao Ming continued to sit inside, and the overall offensive of the Chinese team was still impressive.

When Zhou Yu continued to dribble around his crotch, he suddenly sent an exquisite through ball. Hu Weidong got the ball and made a low-handed layup. Due to his lack of physical resistance, the basketball finally missed the basket.

After the Argentine team grabbed the rebound, they played a sharp fast-break counterattack again. The speed was astonishingly fast, and almost all members participated in the fast-break.

After three passes and two passes, Ginobili made a three-pointer from the bottom corner!
"5:2", the Argentine team instantly led the Chinese team by three points.

In the next round, Zhou Yu saw that the formation had been stretched, and started the singles mode near the free throw line. He used his skillful dribbling and flexible turning to pass the opponent, shaking the opponent's defensive center of gravity, and made a beautiful pull-back jumper. Steady hit!

"5:4", the Chinese team is biting the score.

The Argentine team then started the outside breakthrough mode. Ginobili and the other two outside teammates took turns to hit the inside with the ball, and played wonderful passes and cuts and pick-and-roll cooperation.

Zhou Yu and Yao Ming's defensive pressure increased sharply. In order to avoid too many fouls, the two avoided their edge one after another, and adopted the strategy of side caps and chasing caps to interfere with the opponent's layup.

Not to mention, the height and arm length advantage of the two did pose a certain threat to the Argentine team, and they failed again for a layup.

Zhou Yu seized the opportunity and quickly advanced with the ball, ready to play a beautiful fast-break counterattack.

Wu Qinglong, Li Xiaoyong, and Hu Weidong jumped in quickly, ready to respond.

But Zhou Yu knew in his heart that the three of them were not Kobe with a slam dunk. In the end, he saw the opportunity and made a mid-range shot with an emergency stop. The basketball crossed a beautiful arc and hit the net with a crisp sound!
"6:5", the Chinese team surpassed the Argentine team by one point.

The Argentine team, which got the ball, quickly organized a new round of offensive. Ginobili controlled the ball at the top of the arc, and the other players moved in an orderly manner.

Two inside players mentioned the high position to cover for Ginobili, and Ginobili took the opportunity to use the "serpentine breakthrough" to go deep into the hinterland of the Chinese team again.

Facing Zhou Yu and Yao Ming's "double high" defense, he finally chose to pass the ball back to an inside teammate who was at the free throw line. The shooting ability of the Argentine inside player is really great, not only the shot is fast, but also very accurate. This Argentine insider almost catches and shoots, and hits it steadily!

"7:6", the Argentine team quickly overtook the Chinese team.

In order to form a stronger synergy, Zhou Yu then played the tactic of "breaking through and scoring the ball", using his skilled and delicate skills to tear apart the Argentine team's peripheral defense, and promptly distributed the ball to his outside teammates.

It's a pity that the Argentine team's rotational defense and auxiliary defense were too fast, which soon caused some interference to the Chinese team's outside shots.

Under the interference of the opponent's block, Wu Qinglong missed a three-pointer, the basketball finally bounced out, and the rebound fell into the hands of the Argentine team.

Ginobili's "serpentine breakthrough" was unstoppable, Zhou Yu retreated quickly, and in the head-to-head confrontation with Ginobili, he was overwhelmed by his speed. Fortunately, his advance speed was effectively slowed down, allowing other teammates to recover. The prevention in place has won precious time.

The two sides then played a rigorous offensive and defensive battle. The Argentine team continued to put pressure on the Chinese team's inside by relying on the super personal ability of the outside players.

Zhou Yu and Yao Ming didn't dare to jump on them rashly, so they could only retreat to the penalty area and defend the basket. The Argentine team took the opportunity to make another shot from the middle distance. The basketball drew a beautiful arc and made another steady hit!
"9:6", the Argentine team leads the Chinese team by three points.

The next round of the Chinese team's offense was again initiated by Zhou Yu who mentioned the high position, but this time after Zhou Yu broke through with the ball, he did not pass the ball to his outside teammate, but passed it to Yao Ming inside.

Yao Ming lived up to everyone's expectations, using his height advantage and flexible turning, he hit the board with a high hit!
"9:8", the Chinese team was only one point behind the Argentine team, and the competition between the two sides was basically equal in the opening stage.

In order to share the pressure on Zhou Yu and Yao Ming's inside defense, Wang Fei commanded the players to put up a "two-three" defensive formation on the sidelines. The Chinese team stuck to the three-second zone, and basically gave up outside the three-second zone. Argentina can score them. If you have the ability, this is a "big gamble" strategy. Once the Argentine players' feeling only increases, the Chinese players can only stare blankly.

Fortunately, the Argentine players did not grow up on the "one hundred shots, one hundred hits" pill. The three-pointer and long-range mid-range shots feel hot and cold, which is not so stable.

The Chinese team took the opportunity, and Zhou Yu organized several beautiful fast-break counterattacks, which caught the Argentine team by surprise.

At the end of the first quarter, the score between the two sides was finally fixed at "26:25". The Chinese team actually led the Argentine team by one point. Zhou Yu and Yao Ming contributed a lot. The solid inside defense became the biggest magic weapon for the Chinese team to suppress the Argentine team. .

When the second quarter started, the head coaches of the two sides continued to keep their main players on the court, for fear that if they were not careful, the score would be drawn apart.

Zhou Yu felt that this game must be a long and fierce battle, and it is very necessary to properly conserve his energy. Therefore, in the second quarter of the game, Zhou Yu significantly reduced the time of holding the ball and returned the possession of the ball to Li Xiaoyong. Most of the time, I played air cuts and pick-and-roll tactics.

To Zhou Yu's delight, Li Xiaoyong, Wu Qinglong, and Hu Weidong finally found the state of "dare to fight and fight" in the second quarter.

Thanks to the strong performance of outside teammates, the Chinese team continued to play against the Argentine team in the second quarter. At the end of the first half, the score was finally fixed at "48:46", and the Chinese team led the Argentine team by two points.

In the third quarter, the two teams sent all substitutes to fight, and the gap was suddenly revealed. The Chinese team, which had lost two major inside pillars, was soon played by the Argentine team with a wave of offensive climax, and the score was suddenly opened.

Yao Ming had to come on stage early to save the day, but the substitute strength of the Argentine team was much stronger than that of the Lithuanian team, so it was difficult for Yao Ming alone.

In desperation, Wang Fei had no choice but to send Zhou Yu to the field in advance, and finally curbed the fierce offensive momentum of the Argentine team.

The two sides came and went, and the score rose alternately. Near the end of the third quarter, Zhou Yuhao took a gamble and hit two consecutive "ultra-long three-pointers", all of which were hits, and evened out the trailing point difference.

After the third quarter, the score was finally fixed at "71:70", and the Chinese team led the Argentine team by one point.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the main players of both sides re-appeared. Zhou Yu obviously felt that his physical strength had declined seriously, and he was a little powerless when he played the ball. In desperation, he could only wander outside and send assists for his teammates to relieve it. Nearly exhausted physical strength.

Ginobili took the opportunity to lead the Argentine team to launch a fierce attack again. The figure of "Demon Sword" was almost everywhere, posing a huge threat to the Chinese team's internal and external defense.

Zhou Yu saw that the situation was not good, and the Argentine team was about to open the score again, so he quickly activated all the defensive skills in the "Basketball Superstar Growth System" to give the Argentine team a strong block.

Under Zhou Yu's tenacious blocking, the Argentine team's offensive momentum finally gradually weakened. At the same time, their shooting percentage was not as good as before due to severe physical exertion.

The shooting percentage of the Chinese team's outside shooters is not good, which is not unrelated to the decline in physical strength. In the next few minutes, the players of both sides fell into the "iron strike mode" and hardly scored a few goals.

Unknowingly, the game came to an end, and the score between the two sides was rewritten as "73:72". The Argentine team led the Chinese team by one point. At this time, there were only 2 minutes and 03 seconds left before the end of the game.

In the next two minutes or so, it turned into a duel between Zhou Yu and Ginobili. Both of them are the absolute core of their respective national teams and should take on the important task of scoring.

In this absolute core competition, Zhou Yu had a slight upper hand, making 3 of 2 key shots, while Ginobili made 3 of 1 shots. At the moment when the final electronic boom sounded, the score was fixed at "76" :75", the Chinese team narrowly beat the South American powerhouse Argentina with a slight advantage of one point, and advanced to the semi-finals of the World Championships!
