Reborn in the 96 golden generation

Chapter 486 Advancing to the Finals of the World Championships

In the semi-finals, the Chinese men's basketball team will face the European powerhouse Spanish men's basketball team. The Spanish men's basketball team is definitely the top in the world basketball world, and in the group stage, the Spanish team once beat the Chinese team by a large score. Therefore, before the game, the outside media generally believed that China The team's "dark horse" road has come to an end.

But Zhou Yu didn't think so. He felt that as the game continued to deepen, his teammates were getting better and better. More importantly, everyone gained a lot of confidence. , there is still a certain hope of defeating them.

Of course, it is not surprising even if they lose to the super powerful Spanish team. After all, they have been standing among the world's top teams for a long time, so there is no burden in their hearts.

It is precisely because of this confident and relaxed attitude that the Chinese men's basketball team played evenly with the Spanish men's basketball team in the first quarter of the game, back and forth.

Wu Qinglong and Li Xiaoyong's three-pointers became more and more stable, and Hu Weidong's emergency stop jump shot was also well-defined. The "Chinese Twin Towers" formed by Zhou Yu and Yao Ming also firmly guarded the penalty area, preventing the Spanish team's inside attack and breakthrough layup from taking up too much Cheap.

After the first quarter, the score between the two sides was fixed at "23:21", and the Chinese team actually led the Spanish team by two points.

In the second quarter, Wang Fei still put all his main players on the court and continued to fight against the Spanish team.

In this section of the game, Zhou Yu finally started to exert his strength on the offensive end. He used the inside back and outside breakthrough jumpers to hit the basket frequently. His shooting percentage reached 61.3%, and he was in a very good state.

Under his powerful leadership, the other players still performed well. The Chinese team, which played freely, seemed to have both overall and individual performances.

In contrast, the Spanish men's basketball team was beaten a little bit, with more mistakes and unstable shooting percentage. At the end of the second quarter, the score of the two sides was "48:41", and the Chinese team took the lead. The Spanish team has seven points.

In the third quarter, the head coaches of both sides sent all substitutes. Unexpectedly, the substitutes of the Chinese team still played well. Li Nan and Zhang Jinsong hit three-pointers one after another from the outside, and Liu Yudong also ran to the outside to score three-pointers , The outside line of the Chinese team was completely opened.

Although the Spanish team's three-pointer is not as good as the Chinese team, their quick counterattack is immediate, and the overall cooperation is also full of tacit understanding.

At the end of the third quarter, the two sides battled to "71:68". Although the Chinese team still leads the Spanish team by three points, the difference between the two teams is gradually narrowing.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Wang Fei didn't dare to be careless, and quickly replaced all the main players. The Spanish team also selected all main players to play.

Perhaps it was because the Chinese team shot three-pointers too smoothly before, and the three-pointers at the beginning of the fourth quarter continued to hit iron.

With 5 minutes and 18 seconds left before the end of the game, the Spanish team led the Chinese team by as many as six points with "86:80".

In order to curb the decline in time, Zhou Yu had to start the individual singles mode. Sadly, the Spanish team strengthened his zone defense and double-team defense. Zhou Yu wanted to easily score points in the paint.

In desperation, Zhou Yu had no choice but to open the situation with a mid-range shot with an emergency stop after a breakthrough. Fortunately, his mid-range shot was not bad, and the difference between the two sides could not be further widened.

In addition, Yao Ming, who was under less defensive pressure, began to use his good small hook to frequently pose an effective threat to the Spanish basket and gave Zhou Yu some support.

With only 1 minute and 08 seconds left before the end of the game, the Chinese team finally tied the score at "93:93".

It was time for the decisive battle again, and Zhou Yu became the first choice of the Chinese team without hesitation. On the other side, the Spanish team could only give the main offensive power to the outside players due to the mediocre strength of the inside players (compared with Zhou Yu).

The three outside players of the Spanish team are well-balanced in strength, and they cooperate very tacitly. The three of them play like one.

This has put great pressure on the Chinese team's outside defense. Not only do they often lose sight of the other, but it is also difficult to tell who will finally make the shot.

Relying on this kind of tacit cooperation, the Spanish team made a steady hit in the pick-and-roll mid-range shot, leading the Chinese team by two points.

The Chinese team then launched a counterattack. After halftime, the ball was in Zhou Yu's hands. Zhou Yu used to control the ball at a high position. To be on the safe side, he planned to break into the inside to score the ball.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Zhou Yu evaded a defender, the Spanish team's defense line quickly retracted, deliberately preventing the Chinese team from shooting a three-pointer.

Obviously, the Spanish team is betting that the Chinese team will not make a three-pointer. That is to say, they let others go, but they will never let Zhou Yu go alone, which shows how much they attach importance to Zhou Yu.

At this moment, Zhou Yu had no choice but to pass the ball to Hu Weidong in the corner. Hu Weidong had a good chance, but the defender was not in place yet, so it was time to shoot a three-pointer.

Hu Weidong is also famous for three-pointers, so how can he easily miss a great opportunity, but the arc of the three-pointer he shot from the bottom corner is very beautiful, but it finally pops out of the frame.

Yao Ming pushed for a foul while chasing for rebounds. Since the number of fouls was full, the Spanish team got two free throw opportunities. At this time, there were only 28.3 seconds left before the end of the game. If the Spanish team made two free throws, the Chinese team basically had no hope of making a comeback.

Although the free throw shooter for the Spanish team is a big inside player, as we all know, most European big players have comprehensive and delicate skills, and their free throw percentage is generally high. Therefore, everyone in the Chinese team is holding a cold sweat.

The Spanish insider's free throw posture is also quite standard. The eyes, forearm, and wrist are "three points in a line". However, the thrown ball finally bounces out of the frame like a ghost.

After the first free throw, the player adjusted his state in time and made the second free throw steadily.

"96:93", the Spanish team led by three points, and the Chinese team still hoped to tie.

Although there is hope to tie, it is extremely difficult for the Chinese team to make this shot. The Spanish team will definitely try their best to defend the Chinese team's outside line.

The process of the game was indeed the same. The Spanish team expanded its defensive circle in an all-round way and kept a close eye on the Chinese team's three-pointer.

The Chinese team's several high-position pick-and-rolls were broken by the opponent's fast rotation defense, so they had to choose a strong shot, and the best choice for a strong shot was undoubtedly Zhou Yu.

After getting the ball, Zhou Yu felt a lot of pressure. This ball will determine whether the Chinese team can successfully enter the final or even win the championship.

You must know that because the US team did not send NBA superstars to participate, its strength was greatly reduced, and it was eliminated by the Yugoslavia team in the semi-finals that ended not long ago.

Therefore, once the Chinese team enters the finals, it will have a great chance to win the World Championships unprecedentedly, leaving an extremely brilliant and brilliant stroke in the history of Chinese basketball.

The Spanish team probably also saw that Zhou Yu was going to carry out the last attack. Therefore, the defense line expanded and the number of defenders increased dramatically.

Under such a tight defense, Zhou Yu made a single-minded plan. After a high pick-and-roll with Hu Weidong, the catch was a high arc three-pointer.

This ball not only has a high arc, but also has a certain degree of backwardness when it is shot, which can be described as quite difficult. Although the Spanish team rushed forward, they still failed to touch the ball. They watched the basketball cross a high parabola, slowly Slowly drop to the basket.

After the crisp sound of "唰", everyone in the audience was horrified. Zhou Yu's forced three-pointer was unexpectedly hollow into the net!
"96:96", relying on Zhou Yu's "magic stroke", the Chinese team finally tied the score. At this time, there were only 5.6 seconds left before the end of the game.

The Spanish team hastily organized the final attack, and the final three-point shot went out of the frame, and the two sides entered overtime.

In the 5-minute overtime match, the Chinese team that "survived a catastrophe" broke out collectively, playing a wave of "8:3" offensive climax, and established the victory in one fell swoop. The score was finally fixed at "108:103", the Chinese team Defeated the Spanish team with a five-point advantage and advanced to the final of the World Championships! ! !
