40. The biggest headache
As soon as Wu Dawei took the field in the second quarter, he immediately achieved great efficiency and immediately helped the Chinese team, which had been behind by 6 points, tie the score.
As a result, the situation on the basketball court was naturally completely changed. The Brazilians simply lost the lead and made them confused and even at a loss.
Even if Brazilian coach Ruben Maniano was very angry, he could not change the upcoming decline of such a Brazilian team on the basketball court. So when Wu Dawei equalized the score, he could only ask for a timeout helplessly.
I hope that with this timeout interval, Wu Dawei's previous fierce momentum can alleviate his previous fierce momentum. After all, Wu Dawei's previous performance on the basketball court has put too much pressure on the Brazilian team.
At this moment, Ruben Maniano naturally understood the mood of the Australian men's basketball coach Ian Steck. If Wu Dawei had performed like this throughout the game, it would be extremely difficult for the Brazilian team to win this game tonight...
So Ruben Maniano can only hope that Wu Dawei will not perform like before in the next game, and then hope that the Brazilian players under his command will be more concerned about Wu Dawei's defense.
However, sometimes reality is difficult to develop as expected. After all, people can only predict but cannot control future development.
After the timeout, both sides returned to the basketball court, but the situation was still not optimistic for the Brazilian team. Because they did not replay the basketball they had when the second quarter started, they could no longer easily gain the lead as they did before.
This is certainly not good news for the Brazilian team. At least this is not the scene seen by the head coach of the Brazilian men's basketball team, Ruben Maniano. Especially with Wu Dawei's performance so outstanding, Maniano is increasingly hoping that the team can end the game as soon as possible.
Although he knew that this was something unrealistic, Maniano always seemed frightened when he saw Wu Dawei's behavior. Naturally, he would have some expectations in his heart...
Once again, the two sides began to stalemate on the basketball court, just like in the first quarter. Both sides refused to give in, because both teams had great hopes to win this game tonight.
However, compared to the Brazilian team, which has already won three wins and zero losses, it is obvious that the Chinese team's desire for victory is more urgent. After all, the Brazilian team has already obtained a qualifying spot, and in comparison, the Chinese men's basketball team, which has only won a group stage game so far, seems to be more critical.
So when the two teams see hope of winning the game at the same time, it is obvious that the players of the Chinese men's basketball team will definitely be inspired to have a greater desire to win!
This is beyond doubt. After all, this team has been highly anticipated by countless Chinese people before setting off. Therefore, no one is willing to face a result that even the group cannot qualify.
After the game started again, Wu Dawei's previous performance of rampage instantly rekindled the fighting spirit of Chinese players. When the game started again, it became very difficult for the Brazilians to build an advantage in the game like before.
Although Ruben Maniano hopes to stop Wu Dawei from being hot in the past after the suspension, it is obvious that such thoughts seem a bit too wishful thinking at this time.
After returning to the basketball court, Wu Dawei's performance was still very exciting, and Guyrhme Giovani still could not limit Wu Dawei's performance. Even though he was already the best No. 3 player that Ruben Maniano, the head coach of the Brazilian men's basketball team, could have been shown, it was obvious that the two were not players on the same level.
In addition, Wu Dawei is stronger than Giovani, which makes the gap between the two even bigger. Moreover, Wu Dawei's performance on both offense and defense has also hit Giovani's self-confidence more.
Although this is a veteran who has experienced several major competitions, his psychological endurance is much better than that of ordinary young players. However, when Giovani faces Wu Dawei, a sense of powerlessness comes one after another.
As a last resort, Maniano had to replace Giovani with the court to rest, but the one who replaced him was a younger striker. Larry Taylor was a player naturalized by the Brazilian men's basketball team from the United States. However, obviously, compared to Giovani, Larry Taylor is more familiar with Wu Dawei.
Although his nationality has become Brazil, Larry Taylor still lives in the United States for a long time. Therefore, Larry Taylor is so familiar with all the great achievements Wu Dawei has made in the NBA league.
So although he tried to face Wu Dawei calmly, when he walked on the court to face Wu Dawei, Larry Taylor still felt nervous and even busy.
Larry Taylor, who is younger than Guyrhme Giovani, is also completely unable to limit Wu Dawei's performance on the court. In this way, it is obviously a huge amount of good news for the Chinese men's basketball team in the subsequent games in the second quarter.
Now everyone knows that Wu Dawei's performance is basically equivalent to the barometer of the victory or defeat of the Chinese men's basketball team. As long as Wu Dawei is strangled, he can basically win the game with a clear victory when playing against the Chinese men's basketball team.
But everyone knows this, but there are not many teams that can be done. Even the Spanish men's basketball team, which is the most outstanding and powerful in Group B, may not be able to stop Wu Dawei's performance now.
The reason why they were able to win the group match against the Chinese men's basketball team was, on the one hand, because they did have impressive strength, but they had to admit that the Chinese men's basketball team had the idea of giving up tactically in that game. Moreover, Wu Dawei played very little in that game, which was also one of the reasons why Espanyol could easily win...
Brazilian men's basketball coach Ruben Maniano's performance in the second quarter was to keep beating his chest and stamping his feet. Because his team could not gain a leading advantage after the timeout. On the contrary, the Chinese men's basketball team, which was stunned by their waves at the beginning of the second quarter, was led by Wu Dawei and regained the lead on the basketball court.
When the whistle at the end of the first half was blew, the score was frozen at the Chinese men's basketball team ended the first half with a three-point advantage.
This result made Chinese fans very happy, because in everyone's opinion, since they can lead the Brazilian at the end of the first half, it is not impossible to still take the lead at the end of the second half!
From the team to the fans, they were very satisfied with this result. After all, they met an extremely powerful Brazilian team in this game tonight!
As the opponent of the Chinese men's basketball team in this game, the Brazilian men's basketball team was completely dissatisfied with such a result at the end of the first half.
Ruben Maniano soon got the statistics for the first half of the game. The series of data behind Wu Dawei's name on the Chinese team made the head coach of the Brazilian men's basketball team look ashen.
With 19 points, 5 assists, 5 rebounds, 3 steals and 3 blocks, Wu Dawei completely dominated the first half of the game.
Although Maniano had already predicted that Wu Dawei's performance would be very good before the start of the game, it was obvious that when he saw this data at this moment, Maniano knew that such performance still exceeded his expectations!
Moreover, Wu Dawei scored 19 points and only relied on 7 shots. This also shows from the side how efficient Wu Dawei was in the first half of the game!
The Chinese men's basketball team scored almost more than two-thirds of the score in the first half, all of which were related to Wu Dawei. This result made Maniano know how bad his team's defense against Wu Dawei in the first half.
And it is said that Wu Dawei was still in the battle with injuries. From this we can see if they were facing a healthy Wu Dawei, what kind of bird they would be beaten!
Of course this is not something that Maniano can tolerate. Is this the team he is familiar with that has won three consecutive victories in the Olympic group stage before?!
When did they perform so badly? In Maniano's opinion, such performance is not enough to win the Olympic medal. The first big problem they urgently need to solve in the second half is Wu Dawei!
Obviously, this is the first thing the Brazilian men's basketball team needs to do in the second half of the game. How to prevent Wu Dawei became the key to their winning of this game tonight.
If they continue to let Wu Dawei wander in the frontcourt like he was like he was visiting his own back garden, then the final result of this game may really be ended by the Chinese men's basketball team!
This game is still attracting much attention. It is not only Chinese fans and Brazilian fans watching this game, but the Australians are of course very concerned about this game.
