Slovenia coach Alexander is under great pressure at this time.
Seeing that the players were all depressed, he turned to look at Dongzi.
In the past, Dongzi would usually come forward when faced with this kind of situation.
At the same time, Dongzi will also become the key to active atmosphere in the locker room.
However, when he looked at Dongzi today, he saw that Dongzi just smiled bitterly, then lowered his head to pack his shoelaces.
Alexander understood that even Dongzi was a little desperate in this situation.
In fact, if you think about it, their strongest point is Dongzi, but now Dongzi is at a complete disadvantage when playing against Wang Yi. And what kind of system, inside line, and Dragic they have, every time they are about to gain momentum.
, but they were all suppressed by Wang Yi.
It can be said that in just the 20 minutes of the first half, they thought of everything they could think of.
As a result, they were still 18 points behind.
It is normal for players to feel depressed under such circumstances.
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 made chicken soup.
"You can't lose momentum when you lose. I know 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 and 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 we have to fight. Even if we still lose in the end, we have to make them respect us.
In this way, when we go back, we won't be able to hold our heads high in front of the Chinese people. Only then will we have the dignity to see our relatives and friends."
After a bowl of chicken soup, the Slovenian players felt warm all over and gradually became energetic.
On the Chinese team's side, although they were leading by nearly 20 points, coach Du Feng still did not relax.
In the locker room, the players were talking and laughing, and everyone was in a relaxed mood.
But coach Du Feng patted the blackboard on the wall at this time, attracting the attention of all the players.
"Relaxed after leading by less than 20 points? 20 points is nothing. Slovenia will definitely counterattack in the second half, so everyone has to cheer me up."
When he said these words, although the players did not laugh, it was obvious that everyone was not completely nervous yet.
After all, with a lead of nearly 20 points, the coach can't be nervous just by saying a few words.
Just like before an exam, the teacher asks you to review carefully.
But if you now know that this set of test questions is very simple, will you still review it seriously?
The coach didn't really get nervous when he saw everyone.
The voice rose another octave:
"Don't treat it as a 20-point lead. Everyone has to treat it as a 20-point deficit. We have to chase the points. Show your 12-point spirit. In the second half, whether you are a starter or a substitute, as long as you make mistakes on the court and exceed
Twice, just get the fuck out of here and don’t do this again.”
When he said this, all the players finally became serious.
Playing in the Basketball World Cup is meant to bring glory to the country.
No one wants to lose the opportunity to win glory for the country easily.
Moreover, my parents, relatives and friends are all watching in front of the TV. If the coach puts me on the bench because of two mistakes, it will be so embarrassing in front of my relatives and friends.
With the punishment, the team members became really nervous.
Just like you know that the test questions are very simple, but the teacher said, "If anyone can't score 90 points this time, please ask a parent."
Coach Du Feng continued: "Don't stop playing in the second half just because you are ahead by 18 points. You must still attack in the second half, attack with all your strength, and don't give them any chance to breathe. Once they are given a chance to breathe, their counterattack will be fierce."
Leave us no chance to breathe."
"At this point in the fight, we were all squeezing each other's necks to see who would loosen his hands. Once your hands relax, the other person will take a breath. Once he takes a breath, he will take the opportunity to strangle you to death.
"
As soon as the second half came back, the game between the two sides continued.
Slovenia continued their style of play, with Dongzi as the main attacker.
Let Dongzi attract the defense and then pass the ball to other players.
It's just that Dongzi really couldn't attract much defense today, because Wang Yi alone was enough to defend him.
If Dongzi cannot be opened, the whole of Slovenia will be in a deadlock.
On the other hand, on the Chinese team's side, Wang Yi's offensive firepower was so fierce that it attracted too many Slovenian defenses. As a result, after Wang Yi passed the ball, the Chinese team was full of opportunities.
Not to mention anything else, Zhou Qi had 5 deductions 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 all had three-point opportunities.
The three seized these opportunities and converted them into scores.
At the end of the third quarter, the Chinese team already led by 37 points.
As a result, the entire fourth quarter has become garbage time.
The Chinese team did not pursue Slovenia as fiercely as they did against Japan and South Korea.
Since the 4th quarter has become garbage time, there is no need to send the main players to the field.
Although a 37-point lead may not necessarily guarantee victory, it will at least allow Wang Yi to rest for a while.
If they catch up to 20 points later, it won't be too late to send Wang Yi on the court again.
Wang Yi clocked in to get off work on the third day and felt happy.
On the Slovenian side, all the main players still appeared.
They really showed momentum in the 4th quarter.
The score difference was once close to 22 points.
However, coach Du Feng did not change the main players.
Because the substitute players played well on the court, at least they made few mistakes and did not give Slovenia too many opportunities.
In the end, China beat Slovenia 121-103.
Successfully advanced to the top 4.
This result makes all Chinese fans rejoice.
Entering the semi-finals means that China will be able to get 4th place for the last time.
And the qualifications for next year's Olympic Games will be determined.
This is a historic moment for Chinese basketball.
Although everyone has long expected that the Chinese team with Wang Yi will be greatly improved in strength.
Basically the top four are already stable, but when this moment comes, people are still extremely excited.
The on-site commentator Zhang Weiping and Director Zhang had tears in their eyes.
Ever since the Chinese men's basketball team finished 8th in the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, all Chinese basketball players have been looking forward to a breakthrough in Chinese basketball.
It has been almost 30 years now, and it has finally come true.
His excitement and excitement at this time are difficult to understand for those who have not experienced it.
Wang Jianhua can best understand his excitement and excitement.
Wang Jianhua is considered a junior of Director Zhang.
The two of them also played together.
But at that time, Wang Jianhua was just joining the national team for the first time, and Director Zhang was already at the tail end of his career.
At that time, the sense of honor and mission of the national men's basketball team, the hard work, and the spirit of not admitting defeat were far beyond the comparison of the current men's basketball team.
Therefore, basketball players of their generation pay special attention to whether the Chinese men's basketball team can achieve breakthrough results.
When Wang Jianhua saw his son win the championship, he was not as excited as he is now when he sees him leading the China Men's Basketball Team to the top four.
Chapter completed!
