The main stadium of the BJ Olympics.
Even when facing the Dream Team and Spain today, the fans here believe that the Chinese men's basketball team will play with their own style!
At this moment, they even have a belief, which isβ
The Chinese men's basketball team will definitely achieve a comeback tonight!
When the Spanish team had possession of the ball, there were 58 seconds left.
And the Chinese men's basketball team was only trailing by 1 point now!
Ricky Rubio, facing Sun Dasheng's tight defense, still managed to advance the ball past half-court.
This possession was extremely important.
The inside was like a meat grinder.
Pau Gasol cut to the basket, angrily calling for the ball from his teammates.
Yi Jianlian, who switched to defend him, poured all his strength into competing for every inch of space with this NBA beast.
Li Feng had also almost completely covered Calderon's field of vision!
In the final moments, Rubio found an opportunity.
He completed a step-back jump shot, bringing the score difference back to three points.
This was his second basket of the game, but it was crucial.
The Chinese team inbounded the ball.
This time, Li Feng handed the ball to Sun Dasheng to handle.
He quickly moved to the frontcourt without the ball.
The Spanish team had sealed off every shooting position for Li Feng on the perimeter.
At the critical moment, Li Feng made a decision!
He cut to the inside against the direction of play!
The moment he started, Da Zhi, who had the ball on the perimeter, understood immediately.
He passed it in with a leading pass.
Li Feng received the ball half a step ahead of Calderon due to the change in rhythm.
Li Feng held the ball against his chest, like carrying a satchel of explosives, throwing the ball and his entire body into the air.
Calderon knew his physical disadvantage and, the moment Li Feng caught the ball, he pulled and dragged!
The Gasol brothers also joined in pulling Li Feng.
Thump!
Li Feng slammed heavily onto the floor!
The cheers at the scene suddenly fell silent!
Everyone was genuinely worried that Li Feng would get injured at such a crucial moment.
However, Li Feng soon got up from the floor.
This relieved the audience who had been holding their breath.
[Ding!]
[Detected risk of injury to host, this system has automatically immunized the host!]
After getting up, Li Feng shook his head, these guys were indeed ruthless.
If it weren't for this system that came with an injury immunity function on the court, according to the system's prompt, he would have had to wait a full three months before he could play on the court again.
The referee decisively pointed to the free-throw line.
Li Feng stepped up to the free-throw line.
However, unfortunately, Li Feng only made one of his two free throws, scoring 1 point.
After all, due to repeated malicious pulls from the opponents, Li Feng's right arm was still faintly aching.
However.
The biggest problem now was time!
There was really not much time left for the Chinese men's basketball team!
There were still 37 seconds left!
The initiative was still in the hands of the Spaniards.
The first thing to do was defense!
The Chinese men's basketball team called a timeout.
Li Feng and the other players put their arms on each other's shoulders.
It was impossible for anyone not to be nervous in such a situation.
However, having fought this far, there was no fear in anyone's heart.
Focus on boxing out!
No reaching fouls!
If there's a chance, take a three-pointer!
Rather than Yunas drawing up a strategy, he was just shouting out fragmented words.
This was a short timeout.
The players didn't even have time to sit on the benches to rest.
Yunas could only convey the most information to the players in the fastest way possible.
Beep!
The referee's whistle blew.
At the same time, the deafening cheers of tens of thousands of players in Wukesong came!
In such a noisy environment, the Spanish players organized their offense.
Ricky Rubio would be facing Li Feng's one-on-one defense this time.
And Sun Dasheng was sticking close to Calderon.
Time ticked by, and the Spaniards were not in a hurry.
What they wanted to do most now was to control the tempo and not leave too much time for counterattacks for the Chinese men's basketball team.
At the critical moment, Marc Gasol was once again preparing to turn and shoot!
Missed!
The moment the ball left his hands, the inside became a meat grinder!
Now, the most crucial thing was the rebound!
Yi Jianlian judged the trajectory of the ball first, but Pau Gasol, relying on his explosive physical fitness, quickly moved in!
There was no time for A-lian to think too much!
He could only, through instinct, punch the ball towards Li Feng's direction.
Li Feng held the ball tightly!
Inside the Wukesong Stadium, roars like the drone of an airplane erupted!
Li Feng lowered his body and accelerated, knowing that every second now was precious.
However, almost three Spanish players surrounded Li Feng.
The Spanish defense, though appearing very aggressive, was not chaotic at all.
This was truly the foundation of a world-class team!
Unable to find a fast break opportunity, this severely disrupted Li Feng's dribbling rhythm.
He could only choose to pass the ball back to his teammates.
Glancing at the timer overhead, this offensive possession had to be successful!
Yao Ming!
Yunas!
Every player on the bench!
Every spectator in the arena!
At this moment, they were all standing in their places watching the game!
The Chinese men's basketball team prepared to attack with the ball.
Inside the Wukesong Stadium, all was silent!
Li Feng ran wildly.
The Spanish defense was wide and open.
At this moment, forget finding an open shot, it was difficult even to find a place to receive the ball!
Yi Jianlian, holding the ball on the perimeter, tried to find Li Feng.
But there was no space for him to shoot.
Seeing that time was running out, Yi Jianlian had to take matters into his own hands.
Under Pau Gasol's defense, Yi Jianlian subconsciously took a step back outside the three-point line and shot!
This shot was quite difficult, but A-lian had no other choice.
As he shot, A-lian also felt a bit flustered.
The trajectory of this shot was awkward, and it eventually hit the back of the rim and bounced high.
Pau Gasol secured the rebound.
"Alas!"
Seeing that this crucial shot missed, the audience in the Wukesong Stadium couldn't help but let out a sigh.
Currently, the score difference was still 2 points!
The remaining time in the game was very awkward.
27 seconds!
This meant that if the Spanish team chose to run down the clock and shoot at the very end.
Then, the time left for the Chinese men's basketball team would be only a little over two seconds!
This was basically an impossible task.
Moreover, there was a very passive situation now.
That was, the Chinese men's basketball team had no timeouts left!
Yunas stood up from the coach's chair and shouted towards the court.
Inside the Wukesong Stadium, the audience was enveloped in disappointment.
Yu Jia and Coach Zhang were also silent for a moment.
Because the situation on the court was too volatile and unpredictable.
