70. The French looking for change
The second half of the match between the Chinese men's basketball team and the French men's basketball team quickly kicked off again. The fifteen-minute break gave both sides a chance to breathe, and the next was the final decisive moment.
Whether for the Chinese team or the French team, who can dominate the second half of the game, there is no doubt that whoever will become the final winner of the game. And the Chinese men's basketball team, which achieved a 4-point lead with 53:49 in the first half, undoubtedly has greater confidence in the second half of the game!
Since they can lead the score in the first half, naturally, the Chinese players must be very confident that they will continue to take the lead in the score in the second half.
After all, they have played a successful half-game. Even if they have no confidence, they will definitely be much more confident than the French at this time.
The two sides did not make any personnel adjustments in the second half of the game. The Chinese team was still led by Wu Dawei, while the French were playing around Tony Parker.
Since Yi Jianlian jumped to the ball at the beginning of the first half of the game, the ball at the beginning of the second half of the game first came to the French.
For the French team, which was behind the Chinese men's basketball team by 4 points in the first half, it is definitely good news for them to get the ball first in the second half.
They can take the lead in taking the opportunity to narrow the score and narrow the gap between the two sides. Although such a gap still seems a bit insignificant now, if the gap can be narrowed as soon as possible, it will naturally be the best thing for the French team.
After all, as the side that was more favored by the outside world before the start of this game, the backwardness of the half-time game was enough to make them feel ashamed. The French did not even dare to think about the consequences of losing this game, so of course they were eager to equalize or even overtake the score as soon as possible.
However, this is obviously not an easy thing. Wu Dawei is in such an outstanding state now, coupled with the improvement of self-confidence brought by his leading advantage. The Chinese team will definitely be more comfortable playing on the basketball court!
All this will make the game more difficult. At least now, after the second half of the game begins, the French will definitely not continue to underestimate the Chinese team at this time.
At this time, all the speculations from the outside world before this were nonsense. The current situation on the basketball court forced the French to take 200% spirit to deal with them. If they were not careful, they might fall into the abyss until they were broken into pieces...
This is not a scene that the French want to see, so of course they have to work hard for it.
The second half of the game officially kicked off after the starters of both sides returned to the basketball court. The French team took the lead in possessing the ball. Tony Parker received a bottom line serve from his teammates from the backcourt. At this time, everyone was paying attention to the situation on the basketball court.
People are curious about what the Chinese team will play after a good first half game and after the second half game begins. Should they continue to play amazing performances like the first half game, or are their performances in the first half game actually just a flash in the pan.
Of course, more people no longer think that the Chinese team is just a flash in the pan at this time. Because Wu Dawei's performance is enough to make everyone feel extremely shocked, and at the same time they also understand how ridiculous and absurd their previous views were.
At the same time, in addition to paying attention to the performance of the Chinese team, the rest is naturally to pay attention to the French team, which is the opponent of the Chinese men's basketball team tonight. The Frenchman's performance in the first half is undoubtedly a disappointing one, so people will also want to see if the French team will bring some surprises to everyone after a 15-minute break.
After all, if they still play like they did in the first half, there is no doubt that there will be almost no suspense in this game tonight.
Because according to the Frenchman's performance in the first half, they could not curb Wu Dawei's performance at all. So if they still cannot perform better or come up with targeted plans in the second half, then they can be said to have a certain loss in this game.
At this moment, it is not just French fans who want to see the French team change in the second half. The coaching staff of the Spanish team who are also watching this game on the sidelines are also very concerned about what methods the French will take to curb Wu Dawei's performance in the second half.
Because when the first half ended, the coaching staff of the Spanish team sitting on the sidelines were somewhat aware that if they successfully advanced to the next round of the game, then the opponent they would encounter in the semi-finals might not be their European fellow French team, but the Chinese men's basketball team...
Because judging from the performance in the first half, the Chinese men's basketball team, led by Wu Dawei, had the opportunity to defeat the French team. At least the first half of the game process and results fully demonstrate that this is not a fantasy!
In this way, as the potential opponent of Spain in the next round of the game, there is no doubt that the coaching staff of the Spanish team must pay attention to the performance of Wu Dawei, the number one star of the Chinese team.
Moreover, it is not the first time Wu Dawei's unsolvable performance. Several European and American strong teams have been helpless about his performance. This is enough to make Espanyol keep a high enough vigilance towards Wu Dawei.
So of course they hope to see something from the French, and they find ways to limit Wu Dawei or deal with such a Chinese team with Wu Dawei!
Tony Parker dribbled the ball through halftime, and everyone was paying attention to him. However, this did not increase the young and famous super defender who had already experienced many battles. At the high position, he forced his way through Liu Wei's defense with a single, and then completed the score with an emergency stop jump shot before the restoring defense players arrived!
This is a very outstanding individual offense! It is not dragged on at all. The biggest reason why the French team was able to perform so well in Wu Dawei in the first half but was only 4 points behind and did not collapse was because Tony Parker also performed well in the first half.
After this mid-range shot, the French sports car has already scored his eighteenth point in this game!
At least in terms of scoring, Tony Parker is already approaching Wu Dawei quickly. Moreover, his efficiency on the offensive end is also very terrifying. Although he has not reached Wu Dawei's 100% shooting percentage, it is as high as 60%!
For a small defender who is only about 190 cm tall, this hit rate is enough to make people feel very amazing. However, for Tony Parker, he can devote such performance to almost everyone every night.
The score was quickly changed. As soon as the second half began, the French team relied on Tony Parker's score after a high-level individual offense and scored, and the score became 53:51! Although the Chinese men's basketball team is still the leader on the basketball court, their already weak advantage became even more insignificant at this time!
Only 2 points left!
Now, the Chinese men's basketball team also wants to experience the feeling of the French being chased in the second quarter. Such a worrying feeling would definitely not be a wonderful moment.
The cheers of French fans sounded in the stadium, just as Wu Dawei never disappointed Chinese fans. Tony Parker's performance since the beginning of the Olympics has never disappointed French fans.
However, after the French team scored a goal, they still had to do their own defense. If there was no defense, it would be difficult for them to fill such a backward point difference no matter how good their offense was.
So the next defense is the top priority for them. Similarly, many people on the sidelines also pay great attention to and expect the French team's defensive arrangement this time.
Everyone wants to see if after fifteen minutes of rest, the French team can come up with effective ways to defend the Chinese team or Wu Dawei's offense.
Chinese point guard Liu Wei still carried the ball through the half, although Tony Parker tried to intercept the ball in his hands in the backcourt, but Liu Wei finally brought the ball through the half intact.
Next, the next step was to hand over the ball to Wu Dawei to handle it, which was exactly the same as in the first half. Immediately afterwards, people were concerned about not only Wu Dawei who held the ball at a high position, but also the Frenchman's next defense.
Nicholas Batum is still the player in the French team who is responsible for defending Wu Dawei. He was tortured in the first half and still shouldered such a mission in the second half. No matter how he defends, such a spirit is always worthy of praise...
In an instant, both teams quickly landed their positions in the French half. Looking at the two sides' standing on the basketball court, the Spanish coaching staff sitting on the sidelines quickly saw the clues.
The Chinese team's formation is no different from the first half, while the French team... they seem to have made changes again! (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
