Chapter 160 What to do if Yao Ming is sent off!
Only this time, because Yi Jianlian has been watching Garbajosa's moving position at any time, Jose Calderon did not find a good pass opportunity and handed the ball to Garbajosa.

And just when all the defensive attention of the Chinese team was attracted by Calderon, Paul Gasol and Garbajosa.

A figure wearing Spain's No. [-] jersey suddenly rose into the air from the left corner.

Although he didn't see who it was, after seeing the jersey of the Spanish team, Jose Calderon subconsciously passed the basketball in his hand.

The figure of No. [-] is Rudy Fernandez, who has just been replaced by the Spanish team to replace Navarro. He is also the third player of the Spanish team whose overall strength evaluation has reached the B-level.

I only saw Fernandez receiving a pass from Jose Calderon in the air, and secretly rejoicing in his heart that he was about to complete a shocking dunk.

Yao Ming subconsciously turned around and slapped Fernandez on the face, knocking him to the ground.

Undoubtedly a foul, Fernandez, who was patted on the ground, slowed down for a long time before slowly standing up with the support of his teammates.

Just when all Chinese team players thought it was just a normal foul.

Looking at the referee's hand signal that Yao Ming has fouled four times, all the students of the Chinese team have only one sentence in their hearts!

"broken!"

Coach Jonas decisively called a timeout. You must know that under the rules of the FIBA, five fouls will result in a penalty.

And now there are two quarters before the end of the game time, Yao Ming has already been fouled four times, which means that in the next two quarters, Yao Ming will definitely become the target of the entire Spanish team.

In fact, at the end of the first half, Yao Ming only had two fouls, which was still within the normal range.

But at the start of the third quarter, Yao Ming immediately faced a foul crisis after being whistled for a defensive foul by the referee.

However, Coach Jonas did not immediately notice Yao Ming's foul problem. On the contrary, the coaching staff of the Spanish team immediately reacted.

When adding Bayossa's free throw, the Spanish team quickly replaced Rudy Fernandez, who has stronger impact and foul-making ability, on the court.

And Yao Ming, who had never had a foul crisis in this World Championships, had a foul crisis in this game, this crucial final.

After calling a timeout, Yunus looked annoyed.

If you can make changes and adjustments in advance when Yao Ming fouls three times.

Nor would Rudy Fernandez cause Yao Ming to foul again so easily.

It's just that at this time, no matter how annoyed Jonas is, it's too late to change the status quo that Yao Ming has already been fouled four times and may be sent off at any time.

Now there are only two ways left for coach Jonas. One way is to keep Yao Ming on the court and make a bet that Yao Ming will not commit any fouls in the next game.

Another way is to replace Yao Ming and see if the Chinese team without Yao Ming can play against the Spanish team with a complete lineup.

Obviously, the two roads are most likely to be dead ends for the Chinese team. If Yao Ming plays, everyone on the Spanish team will inevitably attack Yao Ming's position frantically.

Even if they don't score, they still have to attack Yao Ming, just for one purpose, to beat Yao Ming off the field.

Conversely, if Yao Ming does not play, the Spanish team's game state and performance in the first half of the game, the Chinese team without Yao Ming will most likely not be able to compete with others.

As time went by, this timeout called by Jonas would soon be over.

In the end, at the last second of the timeout, Jonas still made the final decision to replace Yao Ming off the field and let Xu Lang lead the team to play first.

It's just that the fact proves that without Yao Ming, the overall strength of this Chinese team still lags far behind the Spanish team.

Although in the first half of the third quarter, the outside players of the Chinese team recovered somewhat.

He made three consecutive three-point shots from outside the three-point line, keeping the score gap between the two teams at 4-5 points.

But as time went on, the overall strength gap between the two teams gradually emerged.

In the 7th minute of the third quarter, the Spanish team once again relied on their skillful running position outside the three-point line in the left corner. After Navarro made a three-point shot, the point difference between the two teams officially came to an end. double digits.

This forced Coach Nurse to call a timeout again.

It's just that for the current Chinese team, even if a timeout is called, it doesn't seem to have much effect.

Because the problem of the Chinese team now is purely hard power.

"Coach, let me play, we still have to struggle."

Yao Ming, who spent most of the quarter off the court, knew that even if he played by himself, the match would be difficult for China, but he couldn't admit defeat without resisting!

After all, it was Yao Ming's first time in the international basketball arena, so close to the championship!

Although, coach Jonas knew that Yao Ming was playing, and at most he only let the Chinese team live for a few minutes in this game.

But what if, what if Yao Ming was able to keep his number of fouls in the last quarter, persist until the last minute, and lead the Chinese team to complete a comeback.

So after the timeout ended, Yao Ming, who had committed four fouls, was forced to return to the game.

Obviously Yao Ming's return will have a huge impact on the offensive efficiency and offensive impact of the Chinese team.

After Yao Ming succeeded in two consecutive interior attacks, the Chinese team slowly stabilized the offensive rhythm.

Finally, at the end of the third quarter, the Chinese team narrowed the gap between the two teams to seven points.

It was only until the fourth quarter that the Chinese team planned to continue to shorten the gap between the two teams with the help of Yao Ming's restraint in the paint.

Yao Ming's fifth foul finally came inevitably.

As soon as the fourth quarter started, the Chinese team took the lead in attacking. After Yao Ming also received the ball from the low post inside and completed a dexterous low-handed layup, the score gap between the two teams was further shortened to only five points.

Immediately after turning around, when it was the Spanish team's turn to attack, everyone knew very well that the Spanish team's attack would definitely focus on Yao Ming.

After all, since Yao Ming came on the court in the second half of the third quarter, the Spanish team has launched many death attacks against the Chinese team's inside line.

Although under the protection of other Chinese players, Yao Ming did not get a single foul, but the number of fouls by other Chinese players has increased significantly!
For example, Yi Jianlian now has three fouls, Du Feng has three fouls, and Sun Yue has three fouls.

So when it came to the fourth quarter, the Spanish team naturally had to continue to put enough pressure on the inside line of the Chinese team, trying to get Yao Ming out of the game!

Then, as soon as the fourth quarter came up, it became the Spanish team's side. In the infinite hope, outside players came to face Yao Ming to complete individual singles one after another.

However, the Spanish team is frantically looking for Yao Ming, and the Chinese team is also frantically not letting Yao Ming out.

Even though Pau Gasol mentioned helping Jose Calderon complete the pick-and-roll from outside the three-point line, Yao Ming still sat in the penalty area, guarding the last defensive barrier of the entire Chinese team.

After several pick-and-rolls in a row, the Spanish team was not discouraged when they found out that Yao Ming just couldn't come out.

If you don't come out, I can go in!
After Jose Calderon once again got a breakthrough opportunity by relying on Pau Gasol's pick-and-roll, he didn't look for any offensive rhythm. Instead, he accelerated abnormally and began to attack within the three-second zone.

As I said before, Jose Calderon's game characteristics make him not rely on his strong body or extremely high movement speed to complete breakthroughs and offenses after completing the pick-and-roll.

Instead, relying on the somewhat incomprehensible offensive rhythm, looking for the opponent's defensive loopholes, so as to obtain some offensive opportunities.

This time is the same, but this time Jose Calderon has changed from controlling the passing rhythm to individual singles.

After Jose Calderon dribbled into the three-second zone, he constantly adjusted the direction of his attack on the basket, trying his best to let Yao Ming face his challenge of attacking inside.

Before the attack time was about to run out this time, Jose Calderon finally found an attacking opportunity to cut into the three-second zone from the left to face Yao Ming's defense.

Without any hesitation, Jose Calderon directly accelerated and rushed into the three-second zone from under the siege of Yi Jianlian and Xu Lang.

At this time, Yao Ming was the only defensive player left in the three-second zone of the entire Chinese team.

Although Yao Ming knew that he had already fouled four times, even though Yao Ming knew that if he received another foul against Jose Calderon this time, he would be sent off.

But as a top center player, facing the offensive challenge of outside players breaking into the penalty area, Yao Ming is impossible to retreat.

Without any hesitation, Yao Ming took a step forward, stepped on the edge of the restricted area, raised his hands high, and completely enveloped Jose Calderon like a huge giant.

Jose Calderon looked at Yao Ming who was enveloping him, and his offensive mentality, which was originally only thinking about fouling, was immediately shaken.

Jose Calderon, a tall man with a height of 1.9 meters, stood in front of Yao Ming, like a kindergartener standing in front of a high school student.

Yao Ming was taller than him by at least two heads, coupled with his raised arms and a tonnage of 140kg, Jose Calderon felt that he might be slapped to death by Yao Ming at any time.

Fortunately, Jose Calderon is an experienced B-level point guard after all, although he felt a little apprehensive when he suddenly faced Yao Ming.

But in less than half a second, Jose Calderon readjusted his offensive mentality.

Then I saw Jose Calderon stepping on the edge of the penalty area, turning around to protect the basketball in his hand, stretching out his left hand, and making a move to challenge the basket.

However, Yao Ming, as a top center who has played in the NBA for four years, is not so easily swayed by Jose Calderon, resulting in a lateral shift of the defensive center of gravity.

I saw Yao Ming still raised his hands high, waving his two long arms continuously, and didn't think about blocking Jose Calderon's shot this time.

Instead, try to block Jose Calderon's shot line of sight as much as possible and the shooting route that may be easier to complete the layup.

Obviously, Yao Ming still knows very clearly that if he is punished for four fouls, if he is really sent off, it will have a huge impact on the Chinese team.

Otherwise, according to Yao Ming's conventional defensive strategy, this ball must have gone to block the shot.

Yao Ming's non-greedy defensive strategy made Jose Calderon's fake moves only for himself to watch.

But as a rhythmic point guard, Jose Calderon's methods naturally cannot be limited to this.

After the first fake attempt was unsuccessful, Jose Calderon immediately collected the ball and turned halfway forward again, trying to complete a high layup from the right corner.

Yao Ming still followed his conservative defensive strategy, just waving his arms, and did not shift his defensive center of gravity laterally.

Only this time Yao Ming didn't shift his defensive focus laterally, but Jose Calderon changed his offensive focus and directly received the ball and leaned towards Yao Ming.

After changing the center of attack, Jose Calderon leaned sideways against Yao Ming's body to complete his strength, and directly pressed against Yao Ming's arms to complete the take-off.

Obviously, Jose Calderon didn't rush to score this time when he took off. It was seen that the top of Jose Calderon's head just reached the position of Yao Ming's chin after taking off without giving full force.

Then Yao Ming looked down and saw that it didn't make any difference to him to jump up. Jose Calderon subconsciously continued to wave his arms to cover Jose Calderon's possible shooting space.

But Yao Ming's subconscious defensive action this time directly brought him the fifth foul of the game.

After Jose Calderon took off, it was obvious that he was completely surrounded by Yao Ming's arms, which made it basically impossible for Jose Calderon to complete his shot.

But as I said before, Jose Calderon did not rush to complete the offense throughout the entire offensive process.

After the jump, Jose Calderon continued to wave his arms, holding the ball with both hands and leaning against the arms of Yao Ming who was enveloping him.

"Snapped!"

"what!"

"drop!"

The sound of the two arms colliding, Jose Calderon saw at a glance, it was like a fake fall and scream sounded at the same time.

That is to say, Jose Calderon's intention to commit a foul this time was too obvious, and his acting was a bit fake. The bottom line referee hesitated for two or three seconds before blowing his own whistle.

This made Xu Lang, who was about to cross the half court, very dissatisfied with Jose Calderon's basketball blocked by Yao Ming.

Although Jose Calderon's intention to make a foul this time is obvious, the performance of the foul is also very exaggerated.

But no matter from which point of view, Yao Ming's arm hit Jose Calderon's shooting hand when Jose Calderon was intending to attack, it was undoubtedly a foul action.

So after watching the video several times, the referee finally upheld the original verdict.

Gave Yao Ming his fifth foul of the game and sent Jose Calderon to the free throw line.

Yao Ming fouled five times, so Jonas had to call the next timeout, making the last possible struggle.

"Hey, it looks like Spain is going to win this game."

"The Chinese team has played very well, but it's a pity that the luck is not good. In the whole first half of the game, Yao Ming only played 14 minutes and scored almost 30 points alone. In the second half of the game, he only played because of a foul crisis. It's only been 5 minutes."

And Yao Ming, who played a total of 19 minutes in the game, had his personal statistics fixed at 36 points, 8 rebounds, [-] assists, [-] blocks, [-] steals, and [-] turnovers.

Although some guessed that they might usher in their fifth foul in the fourth quarter.

But Yao Ming didn't expect that when the fourth quarter started, he would be fouled for the fifth time and leave the game.

This made Yao Ming full of dissatisfaction when he saw the score difference between the two pairs was only five points.

In fact, Yao Ming knew very well that this year's Chinese team was able to make it to the final due to a certain amount of luck.

On the one hand, it is because they are in a group with the US team, which led to the fact that the knockout opponents that the Chinese team faced were not very strong when they appeared first in the group.

The second is this year's US team. After all, it is not the US team with top NBA stars. This dish allows the Chinese team to win the first place in the group with the US team.

I believe that the poor performance of this US team, which stopped in the quarter-finals this year, will inevitably make the next US team send its top stars in the country.

At that time, if the Chinese team wanted to win the championship again, it would be more difficult.

Even Yao Ming suspects that in his lifetime, it may be difficult to see the Chinese team have another chance to win the championship after this year.

And looking at Yao Ming who was a little frustrated, and coach Yonas who was a little silent.

Xu Lang clicked on the skill draw opportunity that was originally intended to be used as a lottery, the A-level player template.

As I said before, every time Xu Lang draws a player template, there will be a chance to draw a skill of the same level.

This time is the same. After obtaining the strength template of Magic Johnson with a reduced level, Xu Lang also got a chance to extract the skills of a reduced level player template.

And this time the chance to draw, in addition to allowing Xu Lang to obtain an a-level player skill through the lottery.

It can also allow Xu Lang to directly possess the full strength of an a-player template.

"That is, if it is used now, it seems a bit wasteful. If I knew it earlier, it would be better to use it from the beginning of the game."
