1016. The demon knife fell into the ditch

Ginobili was confident that the ball would go in. The rhythm of his step back and the feel of the shot were all perfect.

But Sun Yue predicted Ginobili's thoughts and completed the big hat!

Sun Yue grabbed the ball by himself, advanced quickly, and rushed to the front court to look back at the moon and lob the ball.

Liu Xiu, who followed up, jumped up high, held the ball in the air, and slammed it into the basket!

Some of the people on the sidelines, including Kejan Paulway and others, swore obscenities while others laughed.

This made the most confident Ginobili look livid.

In the last 2.6 seconds of the second quarter, Argentina missed a long three-pointer. At the end of the half, 53 to 48, the Chinese team's lead expanded to 5 points!

Entering halftime, on the way back to the locker room, Argentina coach Sergio Hernandez comforted and encouraged Ginobili.

Since you believe in Ginobili, you have to keep believing.

Years later, when Ginobili retired, Popovich commented that at 41 years old, he was still immature and as naive as when he first set foot on the NBA court 16 years ago, always thinking that he could do it.

It is precisely because of this that the 41-year-old Yaodao is still one of the most terrifying players on the bench.

The person who feels terrible may be an opponent or a teammate...

Popovich has always had full trust in Ginobili, and Parker once joked that he has always been jealous of Ginobili... Most people think that Parker was joking to tell the truth, because it was Parker himself who added the sentence after saying jealousy.

'Haha I'm kidding'.

Although Ginobili's overconfidence hurt the team this time, Hernandez still trusted him.

Moreover, this amount of damage is actually only two points. For a full hit, the 3 points that are ‘deserved’ will be counted, and the right should be considered as a loss of 5 points.

Just chase!

After returning from the halftime break, Argentina took the lead in launching a fierce attack.

Ginobili took advantage of Yao Ming's rest and continued to attack the frame, scoring 6 points and 1 assist. Scola even scored 2+1 for that assist!

The laughter from Mengba's side stimulated the Demon Sword!

Ginobili understood why the head coach kept emphasizing "patience" in the second quarter, he was just waiting for this moment.

But next time he encounters the same situation, he will most likely choose to 'believe in himself'.

Because he is a demon sword.

After a 9-5 surge, the Argentina team narrowed the point difference to 1 point. The score was 57-58. The Chinese team called a timeout!

The Silver Foxes did not panic. In the third quarter, Argentina attacked first and scored in all 4 rounds. It was very fierce, but in fact they only played 3 attacks and scored on two of them. Du Feng once received the ball from Wang Zhizhi.

Eat cake, once Liu Xiu stepped back and hit a three-pointer.

The Silver Foxes continued to let Yao Ming rest. He only played a few minutes in the second half. Yao Ming had already played 17 minutes in the first half. The best playing time in the second half is about 13 minutes to ensure his condition, and the playing time should be less rather than too much.

Wang Shipeng, Sun Yue, and Du Feng were replaced, Li Nan, Zhu Fangyu, and Yi Jianlian were replaced, and Liu Xiu and Wang Zhizhi continued to play.

On Hernandez's side, two major pitchers, Farabello and Nocioni, were replaced. Scola continued to play inside as a containment point, and Gabriel Fernandez was replaced at the center position.

Both named Fernandez, the one from the Spanish team is a swingman with excellent athletic ability and shooting, and the one from the Argentinian team is a center with excellent frame protection.

After the timeout, the game continues, and the Chinese team serves from the frontcourt.

Fernandez called on his teammates to defend, and they wanted to overtake the score in one fell swoop!

Liu Xiu received the ball and broke through, attracted a double attack, and distributed the ball... As soon as Zhu Fangyu ran around the pile to the left sideline, he received the pass from Liu Xiu, turned around, took off, faced Scola and shot a three-pointer... hit!

The score difference comes to 4 points!

Then Ginobili broke through the pull bar and hit a layup, narrowing the point difference to two points again.

When the Chinese team attacked, Ginobili extended the three-point line to defend Liu Xiu's long shot. Liu Xiu broke through and Zhu Fangyu was also guarded. Argentina also had to protect the frame. Li Nan was free after covering for Zhu Fangyu. Wang Zhizhi responded quickly to the ball.

Arrive, Li Nan catches the ball and shoots a three-pointer... and also scores!

Liu Xiu actually triggered the 'Splash' this time, but he had no chance to use it or a chance to make a shot with a higher probability, so he chose to play a team attack.

The point difference came to 5 points again. Ginobili looked at the score of 59 to 64, unable to catch up and take the lead. He was anxious!

When Argentina attacks, Ginobili continues to break through!

With this choice, Scola looked at the opponent's position and felt like he was going to suffer!

Ginobili failed to directly get past Liu Xiu's defense. Although he had a breakthrough route, he was stuck by Liu Xiu.

But when it came to the free throw line, Ginobili took a step forward during the confrontation and got rid of Liu Xiu. Scola saw this scene and called it beautiful.

But in order to get rid of Liu Xiu, Ginobili's European step was too obvious. Wang Zhizhi came to the defensive position when Ginobili landed in the second step. Scola was so anxious when he saw this scene that he quickly ran to respond, but the pass

The receiving line is not good and it is easy to make mistakes.

Ginobili had no idea of ​​passing the ball and jumped directly towards Wang Zhizhi after landing on the second step!

Scola was not happy when he saw Wang Zhizhi holding his hands high and unable to interfere with Ginobili's high throw, because Yi Jianlian, who was guarding him, rushed towards Ginobili. When Ginobili jumped up, Yi Jianlian

With the same speed, he rushed towards Ginobili and blocked the shot...

Ginobili pulled the lever to avoid Yi Jianlian's block! A one-on-three pull-up shot!

Scola exclaimed, this ball is beautiful...Mir big!!!

Liu Xiu rushed inside from the wing and slapped Ginobili's shot before it reached its highest point, and the ball bounced off the backboard.

Scola rushed into the paint while cursing, and pushed Yi Jianlian over during the scramble. The referee blew the whistle and Scola fouled!

The Chinese team has the ball, and the Argentine team calls a timeout!

Scola made a 3rd mistake, with one and a half minutes left, and was replaced after entering the timeout.

Hernandez's head started to grow again.

But Scola is not to blame for this foul. He had to grab the ball. In this position, one of Liu Xiu and Wang Zhizhi grabbed the ball. Liu Xiu was bound to be able to counterattack, and Yi Jianlian also had a good starting space in the middle.

If you really want to blame it, you have to blame the Demon Sword.

He really wasn't calm at all. He played well in the stalemate, but Yaodao got mad when he got anxious.

It would be fine if the convulsions were drawn in, but not if it was not drawn in.

But Hernandez can understand Ginobili, and his love will face the ridiculously powerful warden.

He knew how much Ginobili wanted to defeat Liu Xiu head-on. The club wanted to defeat him, and the national team wanted to defeat him even more.

Scola, who was replaced, couldn't calm down, and his convulsive demon reminded him of the shadow of being hacked last season.

Afterwards, people analyzed the Warriors' bad eight and found several key points.

One of them was a game that the Spurs lost. Originally, the Spurs were in the lead. If they played steadily, they might be able to win.

But Ginobili suddenly turned on his "white chocolate" mode and made continuous passing mistakes. His teammates and opponents didn't know why he passed the ball like that.

Ginobili passed the ball out of bounds and the ball belonged to the Warriors. The Warriors seized the opportunity to quickly overtake the score and eventually won.

If they win that game, the Spurs will most likely drag the series to a tiebreaker, and it will be hard to say who will win by then.

Of course, Scola is not so dissatisfied with Ginobili, but at this moment, he has the intention to apply for a trade from the Spurs.

My heart is really tired!

…

After the timeout, the Argentinian team sent a combination of Prigioni, Ginobili, Delfino, Oberto, and Fernandez.

The Chinese team made no substitutions and continued to let Yao Ming rest.

The Argentine team's offensive lineup is not very good, but the defense is very good. Liu Xiu and Wang Zhizhi work very hard, but they can only play back and forth with the opponent.

In the rest of the third quarter, the Chinese team failed to widen the point difference, but the Argentine team was not successful either. The latter's idea of ​​narrowing the score or even taking the lead during Yao Ming's break came to nothing.

The score in the single quarter was 22 to 21, and the Chinese team won by 1 point. The total score was 75 to 69. The Chinese team's lead expanded to 6 points!

After the break, watching Yao Ming play, Kobe said to Deron: "China won."

Deron did not answer, and Wade retorted: "Argentina also has Scola, and he is the number one insider in the international arena."

Kobe didn't object to this statement. The ability evaluation Liu Xiu saw was that Sister-in-law is first, Little Giant is second, Silver Horn King is third, and Diamond is fourth.

But who is the strongest in the eyes of the public is highly controversial.

Combined with the actual performance of the team, Scola is even better. In the Spanish team, Gasol led his teammates, while in the Argentine team, it was his teammates who made Scola perform better.

But Bosh, Beast, and the top draft pick all stared at Wade's back.

Kobe explained: "The Argentina team cares too much about Warden. Ginobili wants to compete with Warden and is often impulsive, but Warden is very calm."

Competition sometimes requires drive, but sometimes it also requires calmness.

The current Argentine team needs to steadily fight the tug-of-war with the Chinese team, find the right moment to launch a counterattack, and cannot be hasty.

Wade understands this, but he just wants to confront Kobe: "You have to know, that's Ginobili!"

"..."

Kobe didn't want to talk anymore. He felt like he was talking to Carter, which was so difficult!
