Chapter 466 Sorry

"We are only five points behind at halftime, Director Zhang, this should be the smallest point difference in the history of our match against the US team, right?"

In CCTV's basketball live broadcast room, Sun Zhengping and Zhang Lili were explaining the semi-final between China and the United States.

"To be precise, it is the lowest point difference since NBA professional players can play FIBA ​​games. At the Barcelona Olympics in 92, the US team formed the Dream Team with NBA players. The Dream Team really made many countries in the world. I realized the gap between myself and the US team in terms of basketball level, but we are also improving, right? You see, we are only five points behind at halftime. It is not like we have no chance. If the men's basketball team can strengthen their defense in the second half, then say Maybe we can win this game.”

When returning to the locker room at the end of halftime, Liu Han sat on the massage table and received the massage from the team doctor. In the second quarter, Liu Han bumped into Kidd during a breakthrough, and Kidd's knee hit Liu Han's calf. It was a flaw, but it had a certain impact on Liu Han.

"In the second half, we need to be more active and focused. Don't take the fake moves of the American players. Xiaoyao and Dazhi inside should be more aggressive. Don't be afraid of the regulations. You can make shots when the time is right. The free throws of the American team are not good."

Jiang Xinquan kept telling his players that he had no confidence in this game, but judging from the first half of the game, the Chinese team did not have a chance.

"Xiao Liu, is there any problem? Can you hold on? If not, let me know. We've done our best if we can fight until now. It doesn't matter."

Jiang Xinquan was afraid that something might happen to Liu Han's body. After all, if he wanted to achieve good results in the future, he would have to rely on Liu Han's performance. Liu Han's body could not be damaged because of this Olympic Games. Now, Liu Han's body is the biggest problem in the entire country. and national wealth.

"It doesn't matter, Director Jiang, I have no problem, just a flaw."

Liu Han didn't want to give up the game easily, what he longed for was the glory of the champion, not just a medal.

The intermission ended quickly, and the game resumed after the two sides exchanged venues.

At the beginning of the third quarter, the U.S. team first made changes. The inside players did not attack the inside, but pulled to the high position to cover the outside players. The outside players of the U.S. team also strengthened their breakthroughs. The U.S. team also arranged for Alan Houston, who has the best shooting ability, to be on standby. The U.S. team began to use teamwork to carry out the game rather than just the individual abilities of the players.

The U.S. team, which started to play tactical offense, made it very difficult for the Chinese team to defend. Liu Han can defend the ball handler and score points from the outside, but he only has one person approaching. Breaking through will also easily cause the US team to cause damage to the Chinese team, which is extremely detrimental to the Chinese team.

The defense is not in place, and the Chinese team can only rely on Liu Han to maintain the efficiency of the attack. Fortunately, the US team still does not do a good job of protecting the high position in defense, and it is difficult for the US team to prevent Liu Han's shots from the outside.

In the third quarter, the two sides are still in a stalemate.

In the 6th minute of the third quarter, Garnett received a pass from Payton near the baseline and hit Wang Zhizhi with his back, causing Wang Zhizhi to foul for the third time and scored the ball.

In FIBA ​​games, players will be sent off for five fouls. Now it is only halfway through the third quarter, and Wang Zhizhi has already committed three fouls. This is extremely unfavorable for the Chinese team. After all, Wang Zhizhi can shoot up to The three-point line, and his inside offense is also an important scoring point for the Chinese team to score points.

Jiang Xinquan had to replace Wang Zhizhi with Liu Yudong. Bateer moved too slowly. If he teamed up with Yao Min, the Chinese team would not be able to keep up with the U.S. team, so he had to replace Liu Yudong, who had a better offense. .

Next, the U.S. team began to frequently let the inside players attack the inside of the Chinese team, intending to lower the absolute height of Yao Min, but Liu Han stood up at this time. He spared no effort to pinch the inside frequently and gave Mourning two big shots. , The Chinese team's defense finally stabilized.

As the game passed minute by minute, the Chinese team was still unable to catch up with the score, and what was even more unfavorable was that due to the fierce confrontation in the game, some players of the Chinese team had physical problems, especially inside.

Although Yao Min looks very thin, but his height is there, the height of 1.9 meters is much heavier than the average player with a height of [-] meters and more than ten. Most frequently, this caused Yao Min to consume a lot of energy. Before the end of the third quarter, Yao Min already felt out of breath.

Jiang Xinquan, who noticed that Yao Min's speed had dropped, had to replace Yao Min with Bateer. At this time, the Chinese team's inside line completely lost its barrier.

Liu Han still spared no effort to exert all his abilities, but after all, five players are playing in a basketball game. He can defend against Payton and Carter with less than ten points, but he can't let go of all the offense of the US team, plus the US is playing. There are already more players than the Chinese team, and their physical strength is more abundant.

At the end of the third quarter, the US team once again expanded the point difference to seven points.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Jiang Xinquan originally planned to let Liu Han rest for 2 minutes, but Liu Han refused. He didn't want to give up any chance. Now the Chinese team is at an absolute disadvantage. The suspense will be lost, so Liu Han returned to the court at the beginning of the fourth quarter.

After playing, Liu Han still turned into an all-round display, rebounding, blocking shots, and organizing offense. He almost carried all the tasks of the Chinese team.

But it is a pity that the other players of the Chinese team are not strong. This is not because they do not work hard, but after all, their physical fitness is there. Although the Chinese team received American training for a period of time before the Olympic Games, there are some gaps that are not one or two. It can be caught up in a few years, and it will even take one or two generations of efforts to bear fruit.

The Chinese team, which has physical problems, has problems in both defense and offense. The speed of the players began to decline, and irregular shots and various actions began to appear, which made the US team gradually widen the gap.

In desperation, Liu Han had no choice but to attack by himself. He showed all his abilities, such as low-post offense, three-pointers from the outside, breakthroughs, and various unreasonable shots. With 3 minutes left in the fourth quarter, the U.S. team widened the gap to 14 points, and the Chinese team's situation was over.

Jiang Xinquan replaced Liu Han, who was drenched in sweat, and gave up the game. Liu Han tried his best in this game, and everyone in the Chinese team did their best.

In the end, the Chinese team unfortunately lost the game 98 to 86. Liu Han played 36 minutes and scored 49 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists. Leaving the NBA, but still the king of basketball.
