28. Can't lose

If the progress of the first half of the game still makes people feel extremely surprised, then the third quarter game can be said to be completely controlled by the Chinese men's basketball team.

In this quarter, they expanded their leading advantage to the highest gap in this game, nine points!

Such a point difference is undoubtedly a way for the Chinese men's basketball players to truly see the hope of winning today's game, because after the third quarter, they maintained such an advantage until the last moment.

In this way, the Chinese men's basketball team can bring the advantage into the last quarter.

There is no doubt that such a third quarter game is the situation that the Chinese men's basketball team is most willing to see, and it is also the situation they have been praying for since the start of the Olympic group stage.

This made the confidence of the Chinese men's basketball players soar. With a 9-point advantage, the Chinese men's basketball players only need to maintain their state and stabilize the situation on the court in the last quarter. Basically, this game can be said to be almost certain.

"Young guys, I just want to say that you played a great three-quarter game, and with the last quarter left, you can complete a great victory! I mean, there are only the last 12 minutes left, and we only need to hold on to the last 12 minutes, and we can win this game! Then, it means we have one foot in the knockout round! Guys, you only need to hold on for the last 12 minutes, can you do it!?"

Deng Huade, the head coach of the Chinese men's basketball team, encouraged the players vigorously during the break during the holidays. It was not just the fans who were extremely eager for this game, but as the team's head coach, Deng Huade's desire to win the game is much higher than that of the fans who were bystanders.

After all, this is his job and it concerns his job. And if he leads the team to all five games in the Olympic group stage, it will be a very bad record for his future coaching career.

So whether it is public or private, Deng Huade is of course very much hoping to lead the team forward. Everyone hopes to be different, and Deng Huade is of course not the same. He hopes that as the head coach of the Chinese national team, he can be different from the previous foreign coaches. If he wants to do this, then Deng Huade knows that he must show better results in leading the team.

Therefore, this Olympics is not only a test, but also an opportunity for Deng Huade. Moreover, the national team of this Chinese men's basketball team has Wu Dawei's existence, so the upper limit of this team is unpredictable. At least Deng Huade thinks that Wu Dawei is the kind of player who can change the entire game by his own strength. Such a player seems particularly terrifying in the knockout round.

Because Wu Dawei's existence is the hope of whether the Chinese men's basketball team can be upset!

Wu Dawei's outstanding performance in the Olympic group stage also gave Deng Huade greater hope. So what he has to do now is of course to ensure that the team can go all out to compete and win, so that they have a chance to qualify.

Now that you have to qualify, everything is possible!

In Deng Huade's view, the third quarter was the best quarter that the Chinese team played in the Olympic group stage in the past. Wu Dawei completely led the form of other players in the team, which also allowed the Chinese team to gain a 9-point lead.

So with two minutes left in the third quarter, Deng Huade replaced Wu Dawei with the court. Of course, he was to let Wu Dawei rest as much as possible, because when the game entered the fourth quarter, Deng Huade knew that the Chinese men's basketball team would need Wu Dawei's performance even more to protect the final victory for them!

The fourth quarter game immediately kicked off after two minutes of rest between the quarters. Both sides released their substitute players to play at this time, giving the main players more rest time.

Wu Dawei was also sitting on the bench. Although Deng Huade did not change himself at the beginning of the fourth quarter, Wu Dawei knew that as long as there was a slight difference in the situation on the court, or if the opponent's head coach Ianstek replaced the main player in advance, he would immediately come on the court to help the Chinese men's basketball team solve the battle!

So at this time, Wu Dawei knew that his task was to rest as much as possible, accumulate physical strength, and do his best for the last few minutes!

Although at the beginning of the fourth quarter, the time spent by both sides was usually spent by substitutes, the Australians, who were obviously nine points behind the Chinese men's basketball team, would not be willing to spend the little precious time left with the Chinese men's basketball team.

The Australian men's basketball team's small point guard Mills led the team to compete at this time. After the game restarted, the Australian men's basketball team launched a fierce attack on the Chinese team's halftime!

It is very important to annihilate the Chinese men's basketball team in one fell swoop. Although the Australians are still very aspiring to this game, long-term backwardness can still be seen from them. They have actually begun to become impatient.

They always try to kill the Chinese men's basketball team with one stick, so although they took the lead at the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Australians actually cannot quickly catch up with the disadvantage of being behind.

This naturally gave Wu Dawei a chance to breathe. When the Australian played fiercely in the fourth quarter, head coach Deng Huade did not get fussed and then directly let Wu Dawei play. Instead, after observing the situation on the court, he first replaced Yi Jianlian and experienced point guard Liu Wei on the court.

As soon as the two experienced players came on the court, although the situation of the Chinese team could not be said to have gained an advantage immediately, at least it stabilized the situation at a disadvantage.

The score difference was maintained at around 6 and 7 points. Although Deng Huade frowned, this was still within a range he could tolerate. However, even though the team had the advantage at the beginning of the fourth quarter, the head coach of the Australian Men's Basketball Team, Ianstek, was still dissatisfied.

This game was completely unexpected, so although the team played well at the beginning of the fourth quarter, Steck still couldn't feel satisfied.

Entering the fourth quarter, not only the players of the Australian men's basketball team became impatient, but Ianstek, as the team's head coach, was also a little anxious. After all, the Australian men's basketball team was unanimously favored before the game, and he was also full of confidence when he was interviewed before the game.

But in this situation, there is no doubt that he is slapping in the face. However, the person who was hit the most should be the center Andrew Bogut, who was still pressed on the bench by Ianstek...

He couldn't believe that the team would actually fall behind the Chinese men's basketball team. Although the Australian team and the Chinese team used to fool the winners and losses in friendly matches and warm-up matches, the Australian team basically had two or even three teams, while the Chinese team played in the first team...

And even if the first Australian team can lose to the Chinese men's basketball team, it must not be today! Because before the game started, Bogut had a lot of talk in front of the media...

Even those voices are all around my ears now. Bogut doesn't want to be an unlucky guy who is slapped in the face...

So Bogut was very worried and uneasy about the situation on the court at this moment. He hoped that he could play as quickly as possible, and personally recover the score difference for the team after the decline, and reverse the game that made him feel even a bit shameful!

The Chinese men's basketball team was acceptable to the two teams at the beginning of the fourth quarter, but Australian head coach Ianstek obviously couldn't sit still soon.

Finally, in the third minute of the fourth quarter, Steck took the lead in making adjustments to the team. A large number of main players quickly returned to the basketball court. At the same time, the head coach of the Chinese men's basketball team, Deng Huade, did not hesitate at all, waved his hand at Wu Dawei and let him go on the court.

Seeing Wu Dawei appear on the court, Australia couldn't help but tighten. After three quarters, Wu Dawei had contributed 25 points and 11 assists to the team, and also had 5 rebounds. At the same time, he also got 4 blocks and 3 steals for the Chinese men's basketball team on the defensive end.

It is no exaggeration to say that he dominated the first three quarters of the game. For this reason, Bogut even regretted his sarcasm before the start of the game...

But who can know that Wu Dawei, who seemed a little weak in the first two games, would perform so well in this game... I can only say that he is in trouble, but he is unlucky...

Of course, Deng Huade could not sit idly by and watch the Australians adjust, so Wu Dawei would definitely return to the basketball court with the core Australians.

And when the main players of both sides returned to the basketball court one after another, the decisive moment of this game really came.

The score at this time is 69:62, and the Chinese men's basketball team is leading the opponent by 7 points. All they do now is to maintain the advantage of these 7 points and be able to win the game smoothly.

Holding a victory in a game will make the Chinese men's basketball team sweep away the previous decline in the group stage, and the situation will become brighter. Because everyone knows that the last game of the Chinese men's basketball team in the group stage will face the weakest host team, the British team, except for the Chinese men's basketball team!

Australians don’t want to lose this game, but the Chinese men’s basketball team has to win this game!

Compared with the two, there is no doubt that the Chinese men's basketball team has a stronger determination. More importantly, their current situation in home games is undoubtedly the better side!
