Chapter 760 Great Victory over Slovenia
Chapter 760
Slovenian coach Alexander was under great pressure at this time.
Seeing the players depressed, he turned to look at Dongzi.
In the past, when encountering this situation, Dongzi would usually stand up.
At the same time, in the locker room, Dongzi will also become the key to liven up the atmosphere.
However, when he looked at Dongzi today, he saw that Dongzi just smiled bitterly, then lowered his head to clean up his shoelaces.
Alexander understood that even Dongzi was a little desperate under this situation.
Actually, when they think about it, their strongest point is Dongzi, but now Dongzi and Wang Yi are at a complete disadvantage. And their system, inside line, and Dragic, every time they are about to start, they are all suppressed by Wang Yi.
It can be said that in just the 20 minutes of the first half, they thought about all the ways they could think of.
As a result, it was still 18 points behind.
It is normal for players to feel depressed in this case.
Since he couldn't think of a solution in terms of tactics, he could only think of a solution in terms of momentum.
So Alexander turned into a chef and started to cook chicken soup.
"Losing cannot lose momentum. I know that Wang Yi is very strong and the Chinese team is very strong. I also know that as a head coach, I shouldn't say that our hope of winning today is slim. But this is the fact, we have to face it."
"How to face it? That is to show our Slovenian momentum and our spirit. We can lose, but we cannot lose dejectedly. We have to fight back and fight. Even if we still lose in the end, we have to make them respect us. In this way, when we go back, we will not be able to raise our heads in front of the Chinese people. We have the attitude to meet our relatives and friends."
After a bowl of chicken soup, the Slovenian players were warm and gradually became energetic.
On the Chinese side, although they were nearly 20 points ahead, Coach Du Feng still did not relax.
In the locker room, the players were talking and laughing, and everyone was feeling relaxed.
But Coach Du Feng patted the blackboard on the wall at this time, attracting the attention of all players.
"I relax if I am less than 20 points ahead? 20 points is a big deal. Slovenia will definitely counterattack in the second half, so everyone has to cheer me up."
Although the players stopped laughing when he said this, it was obvious that everyone's spirit was not completely nervous.
After all, the lead is nearly 20 points, and the coach can't be nervous just by just one or two words.
Just like before the exam, the teacher asked you to review carefully.
But if you now know that this set of test questions is very simple, would you still review them carefully?
The coach saw that everyone was not really nervous.
The sound has increased by another octave:
"Don't treat it as a 20-point lead. Everyone has to treat it as a 20-point back. We have to chase points and play it. Show your energy of 12 points. Whether it is a starting or a substitute in the second half, as long as you make mistakes more than twice on the court, you will get out of the game and don't play again."
After he said this, all the players finally became serious.
Playing the World Cup in Basketball is to win glory for the country.
No one wants to easily lose the opportunity to win glory for the country.
Moreover, my parents, relatives and friends are watching in front of the TV. If the coach pressed on the bench by the coach for two mistakes, how embarrassing it would be in front of relatives and friends.
With the punishment, the team members felt really nervous.
Just like you know that the test questions are simple, the teacher said, "If anyone fails to get 90 points this time, please invite my parents."
Coach Du Feng continued: "Don't stop playing in the second half just because he led by 18 points. You still have to attack in the second half, attack with all your might, and don't give them any chance to breathe. Once they are given a chance to breathe, their counterattack will leave us without a chance to breathe."
"After this time, we all pinch each other's necks. It depends on who will relax his hands. Once your hands relax, the other party will breathe a sigh of relief. Once his breath recovers, he will take the opportunity to strangle you to death."
Once the second half came back, the game between the two sides continued.
Slovenia continued their playing style, with Dongzi as the main attacker.
Let Dongzi attract defense and pass the ball to other players.
But today Dongzi really couldn't attract too many defenses, because it was enough to have Wang Yi to defend himself.
If Dongzi cannot open here for a long time, then the entire Slovenia will be in a stalemate.
On the other hand, because Wang Yi's offensive firepower was too strong, it attracted too much defense in Slovenia. In this way, after Wang Yi passed the ball, the Chinese team was full of opportunities.
Not to mention anything else, Zhou Qi deducted five times in the third quarter.
At the same time, because Wang Yi attracted a lot of defense, Zhao Jiwei, Wu Qian, Sima Ming and Zhang Zhenlin also had a chance to make three-pointers.
The three seized these opportunities and turned them into scores.
At the end of the third quarter, the Chinese team had already led by 37 points.
In this way, the entire 4th section is reduced to garbage time.
The Chinese team did not pursue Slovenia as hard as Japan and South Korea.
Since the fourth quarter has become garbage time, there is no need to send the main players to the field again.
Although a 37-point lead may not necessarily win, it will at least give Wang Yi a rest.
If they catch up to 20 points later, it will not be too late to send Wang Yi to play.
Wang Yi was so happy to get off work during the third session.
And Slovenia still has all the main players on the stage.
In the 4th section, they did show momentum.
The score difference was once approached to 22 points.
However, Coach Du Feng did not change the main player to play.
Because the substitutes played badly on the court, at least they made few mistakes and did not give Slovenia too many opportunities.
In the end, China defeated Slovenia 121 to 103.
Successfully advanced to the top 4.
This result made all Chinese fans happy.
After entering the semi-finals, China was able to get 4th place the most.
And the qualifications for the Olympics will be determined next year.
This is a historic moment for Chinese basketball.
Although everyone had long expected that the Chinese team with Wang Yi would have greatly improved its strength.
Basically, the semi-finals are already stable, but when this moment comes, people are still extremely excited.
The commentator Zhang Weiping and Director Zhang were already filled with tears at this time.
Since the Chinese men's basketball team finished 8th in the Atlanta Olympics in 1996, all Chinese basketball players have been hoping that China's basketball can achieve breakthrough results.
It has been almost 30 years now and it has finally come true.
His excitement and excitement at this moment is difficult for those who have never experienced it.
Wang Jianhua understands his excitement and excitement best.
Wang Jianhua is considered a junior of Director Zhang.
The two of them once played together.
However, at that time, Wang Jianhua had just entered the national team for the first time, and Coach Zhang was already standing at the end of his career.
At that time, the sense of honor and mission, the fighting spirit, and the spirit of not giving up were far from comparable to the current men's basketball team.
Therefore, their generation of basketball players attaches great importance to whether the Chinese men's basketball team can achieve breakthrough results.
When Wang Jianhua saw his son win the championship, he was not excited to see him leading the Chinese men's basketball team to advance to the semi-finals.
