Chapter 1652 A Fierce Battle Until the Last Moment!
"Chandler didn't make the extra penalty, but it doesn't matter. The US team had a small climax in 2 minutes. From being 6 points behind at the beginning of this quarter, it now has a 5-point advantage! The Chinese team needs to hurry up and adjust!" Yu Jia clenched her fists, looking a little anxious.
The fans in the stands were even more anxious. They kept shouting various cheering slogans, hoping to help the Chinese team. Those with a poor mentality were already rubbing their hands and feet in anxiety, and their faces were full of anxiety. .
This is really normal. After leading for nearly three quarters, they were suddenly turned back by others in two minutes. The situation on the court was a bit out of control, so it was inevitable to be anxious.
But it turns out that there is no point in being anxious.
In addition to Ji Feng and the Arab League, the physical exertion of several players in the Chinese team is too great, especially the inside support. In this world championship, he has assumed a large part of Yao's responsibilities, especially the protection of rebounds. And they did a good job of breaking through the other party's personnel restrictions.
Speaking of this game alone, he only had about 1 and a half minutes of rest, which was the least rest time except for the season peak, less than the United Arab Emirates. And he contributed 7 points, 5 rebounds and 2 blocks on the court. Although It seems average, but on the defensive end, where the data cannot reflect it, the general contribution is the greatest. He made up for and assisted defense time and time again, limiting the US team's breakthroughs. If it were not for the general, the American team would not have played as well. Easier.
And his role is not just that. His offensive ability is also something that the US team is afraid of. After all, he has excellent footwork inside and a basket on the outside, which has an equally obvious containment effect on the United States. This is why Deng Huade dare not easily replace Su. The reason why Wei is waiting for a substitute.
But now, it was impossible not to change. It was probably too much physical exertion, which caused the constant loss of defensive position. This was the main reason why the American team easily scored in the paint, so Deng Huade quickly replaced Su Wei, the big meat shield.
However, the United States replaced Chandler and replaced him with Granger. In this way, the American team has three forwards of Durant, Granger, and Gay, coupled with two guards of Rose and Curry. A small lineup of Death Five has been launched!
Although this lineup is strange, its effect is outstanding. Let's not talk about Su Wei. He is heavy and strong in confrontation, but slow and unable to defend at all. Durant's false center made him miserable and he was blown up for 3 consecutive rounds. If it weren't for Ji Feng's continuous mid-range shots on the offensive end, the point difference would probably have been ten points.
Deng Huade had no choice but to adjust again. Ding Jinhui went up to play power forward, Arab League moved to the fifth position, and Ji Feng went to the one position to limit the opponent's breakthrough.
Ji Feng faced Curry for the first time in this game. This was a welcome sight. The matchup that many Chinese fans were looking forward to before the game now failed to attract the interest of Chinese fans.
Because Ji Feng did a good job of limiting Curry's breakthroughs and three-pointers, and turned his back twice on the offensive end to trick Curry. He also used his body to carry Curry to score 2+1, scoring 7 consecutive points.
However, the U.S. team used Granger at No. 4 to continuously beat Ding Jinhui in singles. The Chinese young star of hope lost all his energy in front of players like Granger and was beaten one after another. Most of the time, Granger could only be stopped through fouls. Breakthrough, but what's the point.
In the last 3 minutes of the third quarter, Ding Jinhui committed 4 fouls, allowing Granger to easily score 6 points and 2 rebounds.
The American team took this opportunity to expand the point difference to more than 10 points!
79-67, at the end of the third quarter, the Chinese team fell behind by 12 points.
"Hey, we still have to lose. There is no way. The opponent is still very strong, especially the depth of the bench. The starting lineup shows that we are better, but the result is still unbeatable, because the United States may be the only team in the world that does not have a starting lineup and a substitute. A different team.”
"Ji Feng tried his best. He scored 17 points in the third quarter and a triple-double of 34 points, 13 assists, 13 rebounds, 4 steals and 3 blocks in the third quarter. It is still the most impressive data among individuals who have participated in the World Championship finals, but his teammates are not Awesome, except for the Arab League and General, there are still too few people in China who can fight. "
"Now I really hope that Dayao recovers and returns. Ji Feng + Dayao are the magic weapon to win."
"It doesn't matter, the silver medal is enough. Think about it, our best result before was only the top eight. This time we crossed three levels and stood directly on the podium, higher than the host country. There is nothing to be dissatisfied about."
"Ah hahahahahahaha, Ji Feng is blowing it out, isn't it Ji Feng who beats the United States by himself? Come on, fight, stop bragging, Ji Feng is just a star, you can't beat five with one!"
"To be fair, there is some NT upstairs. Anyone with a discerning eye can see what's going on. Ji Feng is not impressive enough. Chinese basketball, no, the number one basketball player in the world, he has played like this and single-handedly led the team to the goal. In the finals, this doesn’t work, who can, your keyboard?”
"Don't be angry, sir. There is no shortage of children with NT at any time. Ji Hei is black for the sake of being black, otherwise they won't be able to survive. Please understand, everyone who understands will understand."
"It's just a pity for Ji Feng. The rest of our Chinese team can only play in Asia and be finished as soon as they leave the world. Chinese basketball still has a long way to go, thanks to Ji Feng."
…
During the break, the Chinese fans on the Internet also calmed down. Except for a few idiots, most of them accepted the reality. Not to mention that winning or losing is a common thing in military affairs. Just saying that losing to the United States in the final was enough pride. , if you don’t believe it, ask South Korea and Japan if they hope their teams will have this opportunity.
The commentators also calmed down, and Coach Zhang said with a smile: "There is a difference in the bench. We actually played very well. Ji Feng also played his best. I just said that the bench and physical fitness are not good, but he is already very good. Let’s just appreciate it.”
"That's right, let's just show our style in the last quarter. The silver medal is also very strong." Yu Jia agreed, there is nothing to regret after reaching this point.
However, on the Chinese bench, Ji Feng had no intention of just admitting defeat. His physical exertion was very great, but he was not able to finish the last quarter.
"Don't give up, 12 points is nothing. What kind of game is this? The final is nothing. After these last ten minutes, we have to celebrate whether we win or lose, but now, we have to beat the last time! You guys Give me the ball, finally, I don't know how to pass the ball!" Ji Feng shouted while sitting on the bench.
"Okay! Listen to the boss!"
"Don't worry, I'll make it up for you!"
"Leave the rebound to me! I won't give up even if I break my leg running!"
…
"Okay! Follow me, we won't lose like this!" Ji Feng stood up: "One, two, three! Team China~!"
"Must win!"
Back on the court!
The fierce battle in the fourth quarter is about to begin!
It’s still undecided who will win!
