Chapter 137 Breaking Spain
"CCTV, CCTV, and audiences, welcome to continue watching the second half of the Chinese team vs. Spain broadcast by us." Yu Jia's voice sounded on the TV again, "In the first half, the Chinese team led the opponent by 19 points, which was probably something no one expected before the game."
"We can lead so much. The most important thing is that Li Rong completely beat Gasol on both offense and defense. So far, Gasol has only made 1 of 8 shots and scored 3 points. Li Rong has played against him and has scored 2o points in the first half, and his shooting percentage is very high, with 8 of 12 shots." Zhang Weiping lowered his head and looked at the technical statistics and said.
Spain returned from the second half and broke into the inside for the first time. Facing the siege of three people at the basket, he passed the ball to Gasol, and Li Rong's backup defense followed.
Gasol was already very close to the basket, and he hit Li Rong twice with his back, turning around to attack the basket.
Li Rong seized the opportunity and hugged the ball into his arms the moment Gasol picked it up.
"Beautiful cutting," Yu Jia increased the volume, "Li Rong controlled the ball rights and directly pointed out."
"It was a mistake when Spain came back in the second half," said Director Zhang. "I don't know how the midfield was arranged."
Li Rong pushed the ball through the half, and Spain's retreat was still fast. He didn't find a fast break opportunity and passed the ball to Yao Ming in the inside.
The others were all pulled to the other side of the court, and Yao Ming used his back to test Gasol's defensive center of gravity and chose to turn over and shoot.
The ball was hit by Gasol's hard interference, but an arm appeared above the basket and pushed the ball into the basket with one hand.
"Beautiful!" Yu Jia raised his tone, "Li Rong succeeded in making a patch, this ball is so tough!"
"Spain has been completely stunned," said Zhang Weiping. "The players on the court are a little distracted and have not stuck in the rebound position at all. So far, the Chinese team's rebounding 22-13 leads 9 opponents."
"This ball needs to be explained to the audience who often watch nBa," Yu Jia said. "The rule of nBa must be that the ball leaves the basket cylinder before it can be touched, but in international games, as long as the basketball bounces from the basket, it can be touched, which does not interfere with the ball."
"Yes," Zhang Weiping nodded, "Li Rong has a very deep understanding of the rules and must have put in some effort. Otherwise, if he is used to playing in nBa, he will not be able to adapt to the rules of international competitions."
The Spanish team, which was 20 points behind, was obviously a little anxious. Fernandez used the pick-and-roll to break into the inside to make a layup, but after Li Rong judged his intention, he had already stood at the basket in advance.
"Bang!"
The moment the two of them were physically in contact, Li Rong fell backwards.
The referee on the sideline quickly made a whistle, clenched his fist with one hand and pointed it at the backcourt, making an offensive foul gesture.
"Li Rong made another Spanish knockout hit someone!" Yu Jia shouted excitedly.
"Li Rong is really everywhere during this period!" Zhang Weiping was also very excited, and then repeated, "It's really everywhere!"
The overwhelming sound of cheering drowns out the entire Wukesong Stadium. Li Rong's presence on the court was too strong, and he almost suppressed the entire Spanish team with his own strength.
The Spanish team was already on the verge of collapse at this time, and correspondingly Li Rong's calmness.
The crazy scene, the clearer his brain became. Faced with Spain's crazy encirclement, his pass completely dismantled the Spanish team's defensive system.
The other players of the Chinese team performed very hard in this game. After Liu Wei's crazy performance in the second quarter, he scored 9 points in a single quarter. In the middle of the third quarter, Liu Wei had already scored the second highest 17 points in the team.
The Spanish team's almost crazy double-team tactic not only did not cause Li Rong's mistakes, but instead allowed him to completely motivate his teammates.
Halfway through the third quarter, the Chinese team has already taken a 30-point lead.
Spain seems to have given up on the game and replaced Gasol, who was not performing well on the court.
Yunas immediately replaced Li Rong and Yao Ming, and replaced the inside combination of Wang Zhizhi and Yi Jianlian.
In the second half of the third quarter, Spain was still trying to catch up, but Wang Zhizhi stood up at this time and made two consecutive three-pointers, including a difficult long shot against the defense of the man, completely extinguishing the flames of Spain's counterattack.
In the fourth quarter, the Chinese team's lineup only took less than 4 minutes, and Yunas replaced all substitutes. Although Spain took the opportunity to recover some points, the Chinese team finally defeated their opponent 22 points with a score of 1o6 to 84, easily winning a big victory.
Li Rong contributed the highest 31 points in the team, and also had 7 rebounds and 9 assists. Gasol, who was in the match, had not scored in double digits in the game, only scored 8 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists, which could be said to have completely defeated his opponent.
"Li Rong is indeed amazing!" Zhang Weiping concluded after the game, "The main reason why he won this game is that there are two points. One is that Li Rong's comprehensive suppression of Gasol on both ends of offense and defense. The other is that other players have performed very well. Wang Zhizhi scored 17 points, Liu Wei scored 19 points, and Yao Ming scored not high and only 11 points. However, the Spanish team's large amount of defensive energy was restrained in the interior, so other players have so many opportunities to shoot open positions."
"To sum up, it's just a sentence," Yu Jia said, "The whole nation is a soldier. Such a Chinese team is indeed worth everyone's expectations. It can be said that Li Rong's joining completely made up for the team's last shortcomings, which gives us more confidence when facing strong European and American teams."
Although many people thought that the Chinese team had a chance to win in this game, no one expected that the Chinese team would win so easily.
A 22-point victory over the last World Championships was a year ago. No one would believe that the Chinese team would win such a hearty victory.
"After this match with Spain, it can be said that the Chinese team has the strength to compete with the world's top teams. As many people said before the opening of the Olympics, the Chinese team's medal road may not be far away..." - Teacher Su, editor-in-chief of "Basketball Pioneer".
"Li Rong changed the appearance of this team. The physical strength of his confrontation and the belief that he brought in is urgently lacking in China. Just as Garnett has regained the lost team spirit heritage for many years for the Celtics, Li Rong's joining injected his own soul into this national team." - The famous basketball commentator and psychologist.
