Almighty Athlete Chapter 122: Promotion to the top 4

"45 to 28, we led the Croatia team by 17 points in the first half, and before the game, everyone thought it would be a head-to-head match. No one expected this result. Guidance Zhang, please give us Analyze, what is the reason why we can lead Croatia in the first half by 17 points?" The commentator asked with a smile.

Director Zhang opposite cleared his throat and said, "The reason why we can lead the Croatian team by 17 points in the first half is because our attack is very smooth, especially Dayao has a very good point. In terms of performance, what I want to mention here is that the opponent's starting center Balachi left the field due to injury, which also gave Dayao more space. In addition, Zhang Guan's breakthrough also continued to be given to the Croatian team. Causes killing and disrupts the overall defensive deployment of the Croatian team, which also makes our attacking success rate very high."

"Secondly, the Croatian team’s offensive play was not smooth. Especially the 12-1 match, which was too hurt for the Croatian team. The Croatian team only had 11 points in the first quarter. This is a Very low score, and in the second quarter, after their center Balachi left the field, they also entered a short scoring shortage, it can be said that the Croatian team did not play their offensive routine."

"One more thing I want to say is that in terms of play style, we are more restrained in Croatia. Our national team is more afraid of a flexible play style, good at playing fast offense and defense conversion teams, however The Croatian team is a traditional team. They are not very good at playing fast breaks. What they are good at is positional battle. When playing positional battle, we are not afraid of any team."

The two commentators talked happily there, but in the dressing room of the Croatian team, it was a sad look.

Parachi’s injury is more serious than everyone thinks. At this time, his injured foot is already swollen, and further examination is required to determine the injury, but one thing is certain. In the second half it was impossible to play.

Repeza predicted that he might lose the game, but he didn’t sit still. He made use of the halftime break to make decisive adjustments. He referred veteran Purkasin to the center position, Banic came to play power forward, and the other three were Thomas, Planinic and Vukic.

This is a small lineup, composed of three strikers and two point guards. The highest Purkasin is only 2.08 meters, and the remaining four are all below 2.05 meters. Apparently Repesa gave up the inside. , And strengthened the offensive line, and the arrangement of dual point guards to play, is to make basketball better operation, can create more offensive opportunities.

Of course, if this small lineup can make a quick offensive and defensive transition, it would be a great thing.

......

"Roughly a three-pointer...the Croatian team got a rebound and came back quickly!" The commentator exclaimed, the ball had already passed to Vukic's hands, and Vukic held the ball towards the Chinese team The half rushed past, and several other players of the Croatian team quickly started running.

"Return to defense!" Dayao shouted, but Zhang Guan has quickly caught up with Vukic.

However, the speed of Zhang Guan is not fast. He always keeps a certain distance from the holder of Vukic, and Vukic rushes all the way to the Chinese team's basket and prepares for a layup. It was at this time that Zhang Guan suddenly accelerated and chased behind Vukic.

"Be careful behind you!" Planinic reminded, but by this time Vukic had already taken off.

Zhang Guan also jumped with Vukic, but he jumped much higher than Vukic. Then he waved a big hat and directly racked the ball out of bounds.

"Good hat! Beautiful cover!" The scene immediately burst into cheers.

Wu Kic's angry face, he thought it would be a beautiful counterattack, but he did not expect Zhang Guan to appear at the last moment, and then capped himself.

On the bench of the national team, Chen Jianghua, who was resting, applauded for Zhang Guan and said: "The Zhang Guan ball is also quite bad. He can catch up with Vukic tomorrow morning, but he must follow Vuki. After Qi, waiting for Vukic to make a layup, he accelerated and gave him a big hat. This is to tease Vukic!"

Guo Guo next to him shook his head: "I think Zhang Guan made the best choice. At the same time when Vukic made a fast break, Planinic also followed, and we There is only Zhang Guan fast back defense, which is actually a two-on-one in the frontcourt. If Zhang Guan catches up with Vukic at the beginning, Vukic might pass the ball to Planinic, by Planinic completed the attack. Zhang Guan deliberately hung behind Vukic, that is, forcing Vukic to attack the basket by himself, so that he had the opportunity to block. Zhang Guan This is also a bold art artist, he believe You can cover Vukic's layup at the last moment. You have to learn more when you look back, don't always take the ball into the crowd, and use your brains."

Chen Jianghua nodded suddenly, "I will say, with the speed of Zhang Guan, I can already catch up with Wu Kiki, this is the way it is. I really didn't expect Zhang Guan I think so much."

On the other side of the Croatian team, coach Repesa frowned again.

"Zhang Guan should have been able to catch up with Vukic just now. Was he deliberately putting Vukic to the basket? If that was the case, then it would be terrible! I got it from Vukic. The fast attack of the ball, that is, the time of the electric light flint, Zhang Guan can make such a precise judgment in such a short time? And the distance to the run and the rhythm of the last jump block are just right, this is impossible! Unless it is a veteran who has played the professional basketball for more than ten years, how can such a judgment be made in such a short time! This must be a coincidence!"

At this time, there was still a slight fluke in Repeza's heart. However, a few minutes later, Zhang Guan was again chasing a block in the back defense, letting Repeza's fluke disappear without a trace.

At this time, the game has reached the end of the third quarter. The score of both sides is 63-48 by the Chinese team. The difference between the two sides has become 15 points. The Croatian team has not been able to organize the score of the Chinese team. In the end, the Chinese team also successfully brought this 15-point lead to the fourth quarter.

At this time in the game, the mentality of the two sides has changed significantly. It is getting closer and closer to the moment when the game ends~IndoMTL.com~The Croatian team must be playing more and more urgent, and the Chinese team playing at home With the support of fans, it was more and more courageous.

However, when hitting the middle of the fourth quarter, the Chinese team's rhythm slowed down obviously, mainly because of lack of physical strength, and the Croatian team also started to chase points at this time, they were left until the end of the game In the next three minutes, the score was pushed to within 10 points.

At this time, Dayao, who is the core of the team, stood up decisively and used the back technology to get four consecutive points, maintaining the difference between the two sides at around 10 points. At the same time, the Chinese team spent more than a minute through these two rounds.

The game is still one and a half minutes away. The Croatian team is still behind by nine points. The Chinese team has obviously begun to control the rhythm, and it will put up a post that will not run out of time even if it does not score.

In fact, at this time, the Croatian players also understand that it is impossible to recover the 9-point gap in such a short period of time. The Croatian team is now symbolically resisting.

Finally, the whistle at the end of the game sounded and the score was fixed at 81 to 73. The Chinese team defeated the Croatian team and successfully advanced to the Olympic semi-finals. (To be continued.) Activate new URL
