Chapter 281 The Crisis Comes
Steals and fast breaks were done in one go, without the slightest bit of stagnation, and they immediately rushed to the Italian half.
Only then did Chen Mo rush to the inside line in Italy, and two or three people surrounded him. If there were fewer people, it would be impossible to guard against them.
Naturally, he would not rush without thinking, but found the right time to pass the ball, and Li Nan made a mid-range hit.
43:36
The score was pulled apart again, and it seemed that Italy's efforts just now were a bit futile.
More importantly, they maintained their lead and protected Yao Ming.
Without Chen Mo, Yao Ming would have to do his best to see the score being overtaken.
Whether it is offensive or defensive, the result will only make him get the third foul faster.
What are the benefits of having more players and more players?
No it's here!
At the end of the half, at 44:38, the Huaguo team still led by 6 points.
At the end of the half, Yao Ming only scored 9 points and 4 rebounds, which can only be regarded as an average performance.
But it is such a performance that it is very rare to be able to lead the opponent.
As for Chen Mo, his performance was a bit impressive, with 12 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists. Not surprisingly, he had a triple-double.
Such a situation is absolutely unacceptable for the Italian team.
At present, Italy's record is 1 win and 1 loss, which can only be regarded as a general situation.
According to their pre-conceived plan, they won the New Zealand and Hua Guo teams and guaranteed to enter the knockout rounds.
When facing Argentina, try to fight for a victory and strive for a better ranking.
As for Spain and Serbia and Montenegro, it's not that they have no chance of winning, but the chances are indeed slim.
Once this game is lost, all previous arrangements in Italy will be in vain.
At that time, it is very likely that the Chinese team, Italy, and Serbia and Montenegro will all have 2 wins and 3 losses.
Bi Xiaoyan entered the knockout round, and this is still under the premise that Italy will fight against Serbia and Montenegro.
……
In general, it is a very simple sentence, Italy can't afford to lose this game.
In the third quarter, Italy made every effort to prepare for the counterattack.
Even the substitute No. 12 player, Bradley, started directly to target Chen Mo.
As a defensive expert in the Italian league, Bradley did have an impact on Chen Mo in the first half.
But, again, Breley, a defensive specialist, is simply an offensive loophole.
This is a player who has no three-pointers, no shots, and his offensive methods are limited to inside layups.
In the international arena, when there is no defense for three seconds and the inside is crowded, such an offense is almost zero.
This is also why, although Braley is obviously a defensive expert, in the Italian league, most of them can only come off the bench.
Because even if he can defend one player from the opponent, his team will have to play four against five during the offense.
Kind of like Tony Allen in the NBA.
It's just that Tony Allen's defense is stronger, and the NBA's loose offensive space can also allow him to do more.
No, Braley came on stage with a mission, and directly gave Chen Mo a wave of death entanglement.
On the contrary, Chen Mo was very calm and directly passed the ball to Liu Wei, while Yao Ming was already in position on the other side.
In the first half, Yao Ming didn't play with all his strength. After the intermission, Yao Ming recovered again.
Yao Ming: The real man in five seconds has started!
Italy double-teamed Yao Ming again, Yao Ming left to pass the ball, and Chen Moguo passed it to Yi Jianlian.
Yi Jianlian made a strong move inside, caused a foul and got two free throws.
I have to say that Yi Jianlian performed really well today, and he already has the temperament of a star.
Especially physical talent, which is mainly manifested in athletic ability, surpasses Yao Ming.
It's a pity that his problem is that his positioning is not clear.
As a big center, his body is not strong enough to play a power forward, and his mid-range skills are average.
More importantly, he does not have a top skill, which is the key to gaining a foothold in the NBA.
Like Chen Mo's three-pointer, Yao Ming's mid-range shot from 20 feet.
A top technology is definitely the key for a player to gain a foothold in the NBA.
In other words, your defense is not bad.
Like McGrady, Artest got playing time in the team at the beginning, relying on his excellent defense.
After stabilizing the playing time, other technologies will be developed, and a more comprehensive development will be possible.
Not only Yi Jianlian, but also Zhu Fangyu and Liu Wei, as well as Du Feng and Li Nan on the bench, all played well.
With Zhu Fangyu hitting another three-pointer, the Italian players no longer dared to double-team unscrupulously.
As for Yao Ming, facing such a not particularly tough double-team, he would naturally not let go of the one-on-one opportunity.
Hard-hitting inside dunks, precise mid-range jumpers, or gorgeous inside footsteps...
For a while, it was a bit like Yao Ming singled out the entire Italian team.
Moreover, after Braley came on the court, Chen Mo did not continue to score, but he was still organizing offense and defense.
In terms of offense, Italy also had some bumps and bumps because of its small number of people.
If it weren't for Basile and Bochenko each hitting a three-pointer, it is estimated that the point difference would be even wider.
Especially during the 2-minute break between Chen Mo and Yao Ming, the Hua Guo team withstood the onslaught of Italy.
At the end of the three quarters, the Huaguo team still led by 62 points at 53:9.
And with Chen Mo and Yao Ming playing, the 9-point lead seemed to become stronger.
As a traditional strong team in Europe, Italy has been clinging to the score and refuses to give up at all.
It has to be said that their overall advantage is indeed obvious.
No, Galanda is no longer drifting outside, but hard-hitting Yi Jianlian inside.
Today, Yi Jianlian, who looks very thin, is really not Garanda's opponent.
If it wasn't for Chen Mo's many defenses, it is estimated that Yi Jianlian would have been psychologically shadowed.
Because Garlanda is a big pitcher, and his body is not particularly strong.
But facing such a player, Yi Jianlian still feels a little powerless.
The Hua Guo team also made adjustments immediately, and in the last 3 minutes, Moko was replaced.
Sure enough, at such a critical moment, the national team is still more willing to trust veteran players.
Chen Mo felt that such a substitution was unnecessary!
Sure enough, Moko was too slow to keep up with Garanda and let him hit a three-pointer directly.
74:68
This is not over yet, in this round when the Hua Guo team missed the attack, Garlanda hit a three-pointer again.
This time, Moko has already followed, and has been sealed to the face, but the basketball still stubbornly got into the net.
74:71
Yao Ming made a foul on the inside and hit 2 free throws, which eased the situation.
Harris quickly reminded Moko to keep an eye on Garanda and never let him take a three-pointer.
However, what people didn't expect was that the east side was not bright and the west side was bright, and Soragna, who had been silent, hit a three-pointer.
76:74
It is obvious that the Huaguo team leads by 2 points, and there is only one minute left in the game. The crisis for the Huaguo team has arrived.
