123. All rely on Wu Dawei
Wu Dawei was in the high position when he controlled the ball, and at this time, the Spanish men's basketball team had already stood in formation to prevent him from breaking through. As soon as Wu Dawei rushed up, he implemented a strategy of siege and blocking him.
Although such a strategy has basically not been passed once in this game tonight, the Spanish men's basketball team still needs to make full preparations. Maybe it may be possible that they will receive results if they receive them any time!
However, the most pressure at this time was obviously Sergi Ibaka, who was once again responsible for playing against Wu Dawei on the basketball court. Facing Wu Dawei holding the ball, Ibaka is now quite unsure.
The previous third quarter game had already made him feel bad about defending Wu Dawei. However, even for the team's bad feeling, Ibaka obviously has to hold on now.
Although he was always at a disadvantage and disadvantage in his personal confrontation with Wu Dawei, the only reason why Sergi Ibaka still persisted at this time was to use the victory of this game to wash away the shame of being beaten by Wu Dawei!
If he is beaten by his opponent again and loses this game at the same time, then Sergi Ibaka will really lose face!
What's more, the Spanish men's basketball team currently has a 4-point lead over the Chinese team. As long as they can maintain such an advantage for about 8 minutes, they can truly win the game.
Although this is not an easy thing, it is precisely because he is not easy that Sergi Ibaka has to persevere at this time.
The once again formed a backward situation on the basketball court not only frustrated the Chinese players, but also made the Chinese fans on the sidelines feel worried. Although Wu Dawei returned to the basketball court in time at this time, the Chinese fans felt much more at ease. But they knew that it would be definitely not a good sign to rely on a player in a team sport.
Because Wu Dawei will always grow old one day, just like Yao Ming in the past. And with the strength of the Chinese men's basketball team, if he relies so much on Wu Dawei, then it is very likely that he will be very difficult to play in the Asian Championships.
If the national team overdraws Wu Dawei's body too much, then people can foresee that they will lose another basketball star who can make them feel proud soon.
Although the most important thing for the Chinese men's basketball team is that this game that may continue to set historical records, these problems are already a bit burning. Because the whole world knows that if Wu Dawei was not available, then the Chinese men's basketball team's results in this Olympics may be that it would be difficult for them to win even a game in the group stage...
Referring to the previous results of the Chinese men's basketball team's wins and nine losses in the warm-up match before the Olympics, and then looking at Wu Dawei's performance in the Olympic group stage and knockout matches, people will not applaud such a Chinese men's basketball team. They will only sigh more about how outstanding and powerful Wu Dawei's personal ability is, so that he can drive such a scumbag team with his own strength...
This seems to be a bit ashamed of the Chinese team, but such a problem cannot be solved quickly, so now, for the Chinese men's basketball team, we still have to strive for the victory of this game.
After all, there were only the last 8 minutes left in the game, but only 4 points behind, which still gave the Chinese men's basketball team great hope of winning in this game. Because Wu Dawei is currently controlling the ball on the basketball court, this alone is enough to keep Chinese fans confident about the Chinese team.
Wu Dawei, who scored 38 points with a shooting percentage of not losing a goal in the first three quarters, played historically efficiently. It is precisely because of this that the Chinese men's basketball team can persist with the extremely powerful Spanish men's basketball team until this moment!
Now, Wu Dawei is controlling the ball at a high position again, and everyone knows that Wu Dawei will most likely take the ball and attack by himself. Chinese fans know that Espanyol also knows that Sergi Ibaka, who is standing in front of Wu Dawei at this moment, is even more clear in his heart.
But the problem is that even if the Spanish team knows, they still cannot limit Wu Dawei's performance!
Wu Dawei still chose to break through this time. Although he did not get rid of Sergi Ibaka's defense in this breakthrough, he still rushed into the paint area with the help of the attacker's initiative to press Sergi Ibaka's tall body and jumped up while also separating the ball into the basket!
71:73!
This was the 40th point Wu Dawei scored in this game, and it instantly closed the gap to two points. Before that, when Wu Dawei was not present, the Chinese men's basketball team could not narrow the score, which became very easy and easy in Wu Dawei's hands.
From this we can see that Wu Dawei's current level has exceeded many people's promising! After experiencing the bad time of more than one minute at the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Chinese fans on the sidelines finally experienced the pleasure Wu Dawei brought to them after they came on the court.
Perhaps now in the Chinese team, only Wu Dawei can make fans feel such pleasure. The score is forced to close to two points, which will make Espanyol nervous at once. They have no absolute advantage in the game tonight, and they are also leading the Chinese team for a period of time.
When Wu Dawei was not on the court, the Spanish men's basketball team could easily get points, advantages and lead on the field, but when Wu Dawei returned to the basketball court, the Spanish game immediately became extremely difficult. Now, when Wu Dawei played in the fourth quarter, he obviously had to play until the last second of the game. At this time, the Spanish men's basketball team's biggest test in the game tonight. They must still maintain their lead when the Chinese men's basketball team has Wu Dawei.
Otherwise, in this game where you or I die, the hope of Spanish team winning will become very slim.
However, the situation where Wu Dawei scored a goal immediately after he came on the court once again made Spanish fans feel extremely disappointed, because in their fantasy, Wu Dawei's abnormal performance in the fourth quarter seemed to not happen!
So since Wu Dawei's performance is basically impossible to be abnormal in the fourth quarter, then if the Spanish men's basketball team wants to win this game, which was not too difficult in their opinion, it depends entirely on their own efforts.
The ball rights were converted to Espanyol. Then they must first make the next attack and expand the score difference to a relatively safe area again.
Even if they can't defend Wu Dawei's offense, it is acceptable for them to ensure an offense. As a talented player in the Spanish men's basketball team, Ricci Rubio's shooting skills are not good, but his ability to read games on the court is extraordinary.
Sergi Ibaka, who is in charge of defense in Wu Dawei, is another player who is not good at attack. Although Wu Dawei can sometimes help his teammates assist in defense on the defensive end, it is only sometimes. Most of the time, Wu Dawei can only watch his teammates beating by Espanyol helplessly.
The lack of teammates' strength also gave Wu Dawei the deepest feeling at this Olympic Games, but he had no other way to do this except sighing. Complaints are the most useless choice. Because it cannot change anything at all, Wu Dawei rarely complains about this and that.
Since the facts cannot be changed, he can only do his best to help the team win the game in the game. That's why he contributed 40 points and 6 assists on the offensive end, and also performed 5 steals and 4 blocks on the defensive end!
In this game tonight, Wu Dawei not only performed well on the offensive end, but also impressed the Spaniards on the defensive end. Just like the last attack of the Spanish men's basketball team at the end of the third quarter, Wu Dawei rushed from the wing to block Rudy. Fernandez was bound to win an attack, which also made Espanyol very depressed.
So in this attack, Ricky Rubio did not choose to let Sergi Ibaka do pick-and-roll for himself. Looking at Wu Dawei standing next to Ibaka, Rubio did not want to cause trouble for himself.
So this time, the Spanish men's basketball team has never heard of Sergi Ibaka's offense, but this is not surprising, because Ibaka has only scored 2 points so far... The only reason why he can still stay on the basketball court is because the team's head coach Scarioro thinks that Ibaka is the best defensive card in his hand, currently the best defensive Wu Dawei.
Although this card was still completely defeated by his opponent, he is still the best choice.
The Spanish men's basketball team turned around and successfully scored a goal. The score was once again widened to 4 points, becoming 71:75. Rubio played a pick-and-roll with Rudi Fernandez at the high position, and then Fernandez cut the basket at a free throw. Mark Gasol made a pick-and-roll for Fernandez on the other side, and Fernandez received the ball from Rubio at the same time and entered the net hollow!
Such a simple cooperation made the Chinese men's basketball players busy.
The score difference was once again widened to 4 points, which made the Chinese fans on the sidelines very dissatisfied, especially for the others in the Chinese men's basketball team except Wu Dawei, Chinese fans were increasingly dissatisfied. Because everyone who watched the whole game and even the last game knew that without Wu Dawei, the Chinese men's basketball team would be vulnerable.
It won't work just by relying on one person. Although Wu Dawei continued his strong performance in the last game tonight, Chinese fans always felt a little nervous.
Especially before, Wu Dawei did not appear on the basketball court for a long time after the second half began. Coupled with rumors about Wu Dawei before the game, this situation made Chinese fans feel lingering fear.
However, no matter how the fans are worried now, at least this situation has not happened at the moment. Wu Dawei still controlled the ball next time. Liu Wei tried to find some offensive opportunities after dribbling the ball after halftime, but obviously he did not find a chance to be too sure, so he passed the ball to Wu Dawei again
Wu Dawei still got the ball at a high position, and Sergi Ibaka was also the person standing in front of Wu Dawei. Facing Wu Dawei who felt hot tonight, even Ibaka was helpless in defense. The only thing he could do now was to keep himself standing in front of Wu Dawei as much as possible and not give Wu Dawei a chance to take a shot at a free spot.
As for the others, Ibaka can only do his best, and the rest is powerless. Although the game is not yet at the end, it is obvious that the Chinese men's basketball team has already entered the rhythm of relying on Wu Dawei's personal ability to win the game.
Once again, after halftime, the Chinese players consciously opened up singles for Wu Dawei, and no one went to run a lot, and there didn't seem to be much tactics at all.
Perhaps the only tactic in the Chinese team is Wu Dawei's breakthrough and pass.
Now Wu Dawei launched an offensive again. He once again tried to rush into the inside. Seeing this, Sergi Ibaka did not dare to neglect. He did not think about going to break the ball in Wu Dawei's hand, but at this time he thought about how to not lose his position, at least not being suppressed by Wu Dawei as before, as he did last time.
But this time, before Sergi Ibaka even followed Wu Dawei, he hit a wall. Wang Zhizhi's pick-and-roll was just right. Although he did not completely block Sergi Ibaka's path, it delayed his retreating speed. In this way, even if Wu Dawei did not shake him away in the one-on-one challenge, it was now beyond Ibaka's position.
At the same time, Wu Dawei rushed into the paint area with a touch of body. Then, while he jumped up, Sergi Ibaka behind him also jumped up while coming back. The two had physical contact in the air, but Wu Dawei's non-ball holder made great contributions at this time. Wu Dawei used the hand that did not hold the ball to separate the big palm Ibaka slapped, and at the same time pushed the ball into the basket!
While the ball entered the basket with a silence, the referee's whistle also sounded again!
and-one!
Extra fine! (To be continued...)
