king of defenders

Chapter 1373 Runner Up
In the three quarters just now, the players already knew the gap between themselves and the US team players.

Before playing against other European teams and European players, including some players who played in the NBA, the intuitive feeling given to Chinese players is that their skills are not as good as their opponents, their physical fitness is not as good as their opponents, and their basic skills are not as good as their opponents. The gap is still obvious .

At this time, compared with the US team players, the most intuitive feeling of the Chinese team players is the talent gap.

It can be said that in the previous three quarters, the US team was showing their talent and using it to suppress the Chinese team. Except for Meng Yun and Xiang Long, everyone else felt a sense of despondency.

This is what makes the Chinese team players feel the most lost.

"The teammates seem to be in a bad mood." Xiang Long frowned and touched Meng Yun.

Meng Yun nodded and said, "Brothers, cheer up, don't forget that this is the final, we are only one step away from the championship."

champion!

Everyone was shocked.

Yes, what are we thinking about, we will talk about talent later, this is the final, we are only one step away from the championship, should we just hand it over to others?
No.

Meng Yun secretly said, "It really works", and said: "There is still the last quarter, we are only a few points behind, the US team is very strong, but there is no absolute advantage. I know, we have reached the final , steadily won a medal, and completed the set task. But now that we have come here and reached the finals, there is no reason to stop fighting. The future is full of unknowns, and if we don’t fight at this time, we may not have a chance in the future.”

Everyone looked at each other and nodded.

That's right, the future is unknown, look at the Serbian team, look at the Spanish team, are they strong?Of course, he is very strong, and he was regarded as the favorite to win the championship before the game.

But now?
Neither of them made it to the final.

Although there are Meng Yun, Xiang Long, Ah Lian and everyone, the current team is very strong, but it does not mean that they will definitely reach the final next time.

If they are not lucky, this may even be the only time they have reached the final, and the only time they are only one step away from the championship, so close at hand.

If you don't fight at this time, when are you waiting?
"Meng Yun is right. We have reached the semi-finals and the championship is right in front of us. How can we just give up to the US team? We will fight with them."

"Be willing to cut yourself to pieces, dare to pull the emperor off the horse! What about the US team, we are only a few points behind, and there may not be no chance to reverse and win."

"Fight!"

Everyone opened their mouths.

At first, everyone still had a thought in their minds, the US team is too strong, it doesn't matter if they can't beat, anyway, we have completed the set task, but now everyone changed their minds.

If you lose anything, bury it in your heart first, and wait until the game is over.

"beep"

The fourth quarter begins.

Everyone can feel that the Chinese team has obviously changed. The fighting spirit of the players has become stronger, and their eyes have become sharper.

Of course, it is impossible to improve the strength of the players with a few simple words, but it can improve the competitive state of the players, make them more active in defense, and more decisive and confident in offense.

If there is no fighting spirit and the defense is not active enough, the ball that can be defended may not be defended, and the offensive end also lacks concentration, and the ball that can be shot may not be shot.

These are common things on the field.

At this time, the players of the Chinese team were full of fighting spirit and were unwilling to hand over the championship to the US team. The players became more active on the defensive end, and more daring to fight and take shots on the offensive end.

At the same time, Meng Yun also went all out, making three-pointers from outside, layups, mid-range jump shots, and fouls. It can be said that all [-] weapons were used.

Under the leadership of Meng Yun, the Chinese team and the US team will come and go, and they are not inferior at all.

Until halfway through the fourth quarter, the point difference was still only a few points, and Popovich couldn't help but frown. The advantage of a few points is not safe, especially if the opponent has a player like Meng Yun.

The game entered the final minutes.

Meng Yun advanced to the frontcourt with the ball, and the defender rushed forward. Brown stared at Meng Yun, and there were still defenders behind him who were always ready to respond. Move, attract the defender, then suddenly accelerate the breakthrough, pass the ball out, and give it to Xiang Long.

Swish!
The goal was scored, and the point difference was only 3 points.

At this time, the US team called a timeout, and Mr. Popovich adjusted the lineup, bringing up Kemba Walker, Barnes, and Middleton, all of whom were old players.

After coming up, Walker made a breakthrough and gave it to Middleton, who made a three-pointer.

Afterwards, Barnes received a pass from his teammate and scored a layup. He also caused a foul and scored 2+1. The US team widened the point difference.

For the Chinese team, Meng Yun broke through and passed the ball to his teammates, but his teammates failed to make a shot. Then Meng Yun came by himself and scored two points inside, but in the end he couldn't support himself.

Unknowingly, the game was coming to an end, and the Chinese team was only behind by a few points, but they couldn't catch up.

"beep"

In the end, the whole game ended, the score was 90:85, and the US team led by 5 points.

Only a difference of 5 points, but the Chinese team still lost the game and missed the championship.

"pity."

"It's only 5 points, I'm not reconciled."

"It's already good, the players are working hard and doing well enough."

No one blamed anything, just regret that the Chinese team was only a few points away from beating the US team to win the Basketball World Cup.

Meng Yun sighed softly, his mood was still calm, and he had gone all out to achieve this point. Although he still lost, he had no regrets.

In this game, Meng Yun scored 34 points, plus 8 rebounds and 7 assists, setting a new high in a single game of this Basketball World Cup, and his performance was amazing.

So far, the current Basketball World Cup has also come to an end.

The US team won the championship, Kemba Walker won the mvp, the Chinese team won the runner-up, and the Argentine team won the third place in the battle for third place and won the third place.

The organizing committee also selected the best team, namely Meng Yun, Kemba Walker of the US team, Luis Scola of the Argentine team, Bogdanovic of the Serbian team, and Fournier of the French team. .

For the Chinese team, this was a successful Basketball World Cup. As the host, they won the runner-up and made history.

Moreover, Meng Yun and Xiang Long are still very young, they will continue to grow, and they can play for a long time, and the Chinese men's basketball team will also maintain sufficient competitiveness for a long period of time in the future.
