38. Qualifying situation
At the beginning of the second quarter, it was not as compact and anxious as the first quarter. With Wu Dawei's end, the Chinese men's basketball team's strength on the offensive end declined rapidly, resulting in a scoring drought that was not big or small during the beginning of the game.
The score quickly changed from the point difference to the point difference and was widened to 6 points in an instant. Brazil scored a 5-0 wave of Xiao Gaochao at the beginning of the second quarter. Although the 6-point gap was not fatal in the second quarter, the head coach of the Brazilian men's basketball team, Ruben Maniano, who was standing on the sidelines, finally showed a smile.
Obviously, such a Brazilian team is the Brazilian team he wants to see. Instead of the Brazilian team in the first quarter, he is entangled with the Chinese team that is not strong in his eyes on the basketball court.
After all, at this London Olympics, Ruben Maniano had the second wish to win the cards. He hoped that the team could stand out in this Olympics, stand on the podium and even compete with the American Dream Team.
Basically everyone believes that the US men's basketball team will be the finals of the Olympic men's basketball team, so of course the Brazilian team should try their best to avoid encountering the US team before the finals. A better group stage record is the best way to avoid the US team in the first two rounds of knockout matches!
Because the American Dream Team is currently leading the A Group with a record of three wins and zero losses, while the Brazilian team has a record of three wins and zero losses. So as long as they win one more game and achieve a record of four wins in the group stage, there is a high chance that they can avoid the US men's basketball team before the final round of knockouts arrives.
Although the US team is no longer the invincible army, Ruben Maniano is not interested in such a surprise, so he thinks he should give it to other teams...
The Brazilians' wave of high-chao played at the beginning of the second quarter made the Brazilian extremely excited, but as their opponent in this game, the head coach of the Chinese men's basketball team, Deng Huade frowned.
Of course, this is not what he wants to see. Although he is acceptable in the first quarter, it does not mean that he can tolerate the sudden exertion of the Brazilians.
Although his strength is on the weaker side, Deng Huade still has extreme desire for this game, so he will definitely not tolerate the Brazilians to widen the gap.
Although the second quarter had only been two minutes, Yi Jianlian immediately went on the stage and returned to the basketball court. In the first half, Deng Huade would never let Wu Dawei play in advance unless it was a necessary moment.
Because the first half of the game is more time, Deng Huade should give Wu Dawei as much time as possible, because he knows that unless the Chinese team has a great lead in the second half, Wu Dawei would not have had more than three minutes of rest...
Judging from the strength division of the Chinese men's basketball team in the Olympic Games, the possibility of this is almost zero, so Deng Huade usually sends the team's inside core Yi Jianlian to the court at this time. If it really doesn't work, he will immediately replace Wu Dawei on the basketball court.
Yi Jianlian's appearance has enhanced the strength of the Chinese men's basketball team in the inside line. Although in the NBA league, Ali Lian always relies on the outside as he grows bigger and leans on the outside until he is called a soft title by people.
However, in the international arena, Yi Jianlian became able to be both inside and outside.
In three games, Yi Jianlian averaged 16 points and 10 rebounds per game to the Chinese men's basketball team. He is the only player in the Chinese men's basketball team to average double-double; Wu Dawei did not play too many games due to tactical reasons for head coach Deng Huade in the first game, so he did not reach the double-double level.
Therefore, Yi Jianlian can now be said to be the second threatening player of the Chinese men's basketball team. As Yi Jianlian's on-court situation began to stabilize slowly. Although there was no sign of being forced to close, Yi Jianlian could at least make the Brazilians easily widen the gap.
The team's pace of progress stagnated at the beginning, and the head coach of the Brazilian men's basketball team, Ruben Maniano, was immediately dissatisfied and began to shout at the Brazilian players on the basketball court again.
They became dissatisfied with their performance on both offense and defense. When they saw this scene, Wu Dawei knew that he was basically going back to the basketball court.
Because soon, Maniano began to adjust the personnel on the court, and the main players returned to the basketball court one after another. Obviously, Maniano hoped that the team could defeat the Chinese men's basketball team in one fell swoop, so he seemed a little skeptical and impatient.
When Deng Huade saw Maniano's movements, he quickly made adjustments. As expected, Wu Dawei was the first player Deng Huade waved to the past. Five minutes later, Wu Dawei returned to the basketball court.
He replaced Yi Li, who lived in the same room with him, and returned to the lineup. With Wu Dawei's appearance, a huge cheer sounded naturally on the side of the court.
At this moment, Wu Dawei has become the savior of the Chinese men's basketball team in the Olympics. In the past two games, Wu Dawei has completely conquered Chinese fans with his close-perfect performance.
If it weren't for the cold touch of the teammates in the game against Russia, their teammates had a shooting percentage of less than 20% from the three-point line. If it were too unsuccessful, the Chinese team would have now won the victory in the two games and qualified in the group without worries.
However, the past has passed, and no one will worry about that regrettable failure anymore. Although the Chinese men's basketball team missed a game of direct passenger transportation, they still have a very good and proactive qualifying situation.
Currently, they ranked fourth in Group B in one win or two losses, with the same score as the Australian men's basketball team they defeated before. The Russian team ahead of the Chinese team is the one who defeated them.
Currently, the Russian men's basketball team ranks third in the group with two wins and one loss. The Chinese men's basketball team's opponent tonight's game, and the Spanish team that once caused them to defeat in the first game of the group stage, also ranked first in Group B with three wins and zero losses!
If the Chinese men's basketball team can win this game, they will be able to achieve a record of two wins and two losses. If the Australians cannot win in the game against Spain, they will become one wins and three losses.
In this way, the Chinese men's basketball team can basically lock in the qualifying spot. Because even if the Chinese men's basketball team loses to the host British team in the last group match and the Australian team wins in the last game against Brazil, the results of both sides are the same, with two wins and three losses, so in this way, the Chinese men's basketball team will obtain the right to qualify with the record of fighting each other!
So if you can win this game, it would be a great thing, and the Chinese team can take all the initiative in their hands. Of course, if you cannot win, then they still have a chance.
Because as long as you have two games in the group stage, you can basically get a qualifying place. It’s obvious that the fourth place in this group will meet the first place in Group A. Judging from the current situation where the American Dream team is unstoppable in Group A, the fourth place qualifying place is basically a one-day tour of Doga London...
So this is one of the reasons why the head coach of the Chinese men's basketball team, Deng Huade, values this game so much, because he fantasizes about the record of three wins in the group stage, which is almost a record that the Chinese men's basketball team has never achieved in the group stage of the Olympics!
If you can win three games, then the Chinese men's basketball team can basically rank third in the group. In that case, you can avoid the clutches of the US team in the first round of knockout matches!
Fantasy is always so full, but obviously reality is still as skinny as ever. The situation on the basketball court at this moment is very unoptimistic for the Chinese men's basketball team.
So before Wu Dawei came on the court, the team's head coach Deng Huade grabbed Wu Dawei and ordered him: "If you have a chance, you must kill them at all costs!"
There is still some gap between the strength of the Brazilian team's main lineup and the substitute lineup. Ruben Maniano puts his best players in the starting lineup, so if you can play a few people, it will definitely be a fatal blow to the Brazilian team.
The reason why Deng Huade ordered Wu Dawei instead of others in the team was of course because in the Chinese team, Wu Dawei posed the greatest threat to the Brazilians. Moreover, the Brazilian team also ruthlessly adopted a double-team strategy towards Wu Dawei, but compared with its previous opponents, the Brazilian team did a better job in defensive rotation.
And it seems that the Chinese players in this game are not as good as the game against Australia.
It may seem that the Brazilians didn't say anything to anger the Chinese before the game... If this is true, then Andrew Bogut can be said to be completely self-destructive...
Wu Dawei nodded to head coach Deng Huade and accepted his arrangement. Of course, he knew the head coach's intentions, and this seemed to be one of the few ways for Chinese men's basketball team to win this game.
After all, his overall strength is not as good as others, so he naturally can only play so hard in every game. Wu Dawei has a deep understanding of this kind of hard work. Isn’t that how he came here when he first joined the Cavaliers? rs!.
