During the halftime break, Spanish coach Gonzalez frowned. To be honest, he couldn't think of any good way to deal with Zhou Tao. He used an old saying: Those who are taller than him are not as fast as him, and those who are faster than him,

Well, it seems that no one is faster than him. This Zhou Tao is simply a perfect combination of strength, speed and skills!

Sad, sad! Gonzalez grabbed his hair hard, but unexpectedly pulled out one of the few hairs that were left. Gonzalez was so distressed that he almost burst into tears. Oh my God, this is better than losing.

Something else that would make him suffer!

There was no way, the tactics still had to be arranged. Gonzalez steeled himself, took out the tactical board, summoned the players to his side, and said loudly: "The reason why we fell behind in the first half was mainly because of one thing.

The core Zhou Tao's defense was weak. This was due to both the ability gap and the ideological problem. Our fighting spirit was not enough, far from enough! More importantly, our mentality was wrong. From the beginning, we did not pay enough attention to it, but later we were pulled.

The imbalance of mentality during the opening score directly led to abnormal technical performance!"

"In the second half, we must first correct our mentality and fight with a weak attitude! Yes, our strength is really not as good as the opponent. This is an ironclad fact. You must know it by now, right? Well, we will

Show the audience the courage and determination of a matador. We can conquer the mad bull, but why can’t we conquer a bunch of ordinary people?" Gonzalez tried his best to boost the morale of the team.

Seeing the confidence gradually showing on the faces of the players, Gonzalez breathed a sigh of relief and began to arrange tactics: "In the second half, we adopted the tactics of preventing sudden shots and not letting Zhou Tao pass the ball easily and letting him shoot by himself. I don't believe it."

He can kill us! When defending him, try to wrestle with him as much as possible to let him consume more energy, so that his threat will be reduced!"

On the other side, in the locker room of the Huaxia team, Yu Haiming looked at his players with great ambition. To be honest, he couldn't even imagine that the team could enter the semi-finals before the game. He couldn't help but feel lucky to himself.

A keen eye recognizes a hero, and they found Zhou Tao, a rare talent. Together with Jonny who was found at the same time, it was their contribution on both ends of the offense and defense that allowed the Chinese team to triumph all the way and become the most powerful contender for the championship.

The current offensive tactics of the Chinese team are actually very simple. It is a pick-and-roll between Zhou Tao and other teammates. If it doesn't work, Zhou Tao will play alone. This tactic is invincible and few people can really break it.

On the defensive end, it is a very aggressive pressing defense that does not allow the opponent to easily organize. Although this also brings many risks, everything is two-way. There are gains and losses, and it depends on the ratio between gains and losses.

That's all

But so far, this kind of defense has been very effective for the youth team. The instability of technology and tactics makes many young players seem less calm and often make mistakes under pressure.

The intermission passed quickly and the two sides re-entered the stage. It was still Spain, the main lineup, who attacked first. After several passes, their power forward Jose Marila came out and hit a three-pointer to bring the score closer.

The Chinese side was not in a hurry and still organized the attack step by step. Zhou Tao found that no one was marking him. All the Spanish players were blocking his passing route. It seemed that they were letting him shoot.

You're welcome! Zhou Tao smiled slightly. He was extremely confident in his long-range shot. He stopped, raised the ball, jumped, and shot. He did it in one go. The basketball drew a beautiful arc in the air and went straight into the net!

"Beautiful! Zhou Tao's long-range shooting skills are really amazing. Many people may not have noticed that Zhou Tao is also ranked first in terms of three-point shooting percentage and number of hits in this World Youth Championship. Moreover, he

His shooting percentage is astonishingly high, reaching 75%! The shot just now was obviously caused by Spain preventing him from passing the ball and letting him shoot. Don't they know that Zhou Tao's three-pointers are so terrifying?" Yu Jia

Have fun in the live broadcast room

However, Spain's offense was better than in the first half, especially their outside attack group, which hit the target one after another. On the Chinese side, except for Zhou Tao, the other players suddenly failed to achieve accuracy, allowing Spain to close the score to only two points.

Got it

The Chinese team had to take a timeout and replaced Du Hanlin and Lin Weilun, who were good defenders, on the field, replacing Sun Fengwen and Gao Ming.

This played a certain role. Spain's outside attack was strictly guarded and it no longer asked for anything as it did just now. Although China's own side's touch was not good, it could at least maintain an advantage of about 5 points.

After three quarters, the two sides were tied at 100 to 93. China still had a 7-point advantage. Zhou Tao also increased his steals to 9 and blocks to 8.

"The Huaxia team's offense was still sharp today, scoring 100 points in three quarters, which is really scary! However, there were also problems on defense, allowing the opponent to score as many as 93 points. This has never happened before, even in a face-to-face encounter.

Against the basketball dominant team the United States, they only allowed the opponent to score 78 points in three quarters!" Teacher Su was obviously worried about the Chinese team's defense today.

"Yes, if the defense is not solved well, the subsequent games will be very difficult. After all, the opponent is a traditional basketball power with high tactical literacy. I am really worried that our young players will have psychological fluctuations. That would be dangerous!" Yu Jia is also very worried!

Worry

However, their worries did not come true, because there was a monster named Zhou Tao in the Chinese team! To put it bluntly, sometimes his words worked better than the coach's, and with his insight, he had already seen through Spain's tactics.

trick

Therefore, in the fourth quarter, after Zhou Tao hit a three-pointer, when Spain's Doss dribbled the ball across the center line, Zhou Tao immediately followed him and pressed him.

Doss did not dare to neglect, and leaned against Zhou Tao with his back to prevent him from taking out the ball, and signaled his teammates to come over for help. Jose Mari who was nearby immediately ran over to help him with the pick-and-roll. Just as they were about to complete the pick-and-roll, Zhou Tao

Tao's foot suddenly spun, using Jose Mari's body as the axis, and instantly turned in front of Doss, and slapped the ball off the ground. Then, countless flashes of classic reappearance, one-stop show time!

Spain was not as chaotic as it was in the first half. They still relied on their fiery touch to deal with the Chinese team, and because they were more than ten points behind, Gonzalez simply asked his players to shoot as long as there was an opening. Don't tell me, he didn't know what they were doing.

Did he move some god? Those shots actually hit an extremely high percentage, and the score was close to only 2 points.

There is less than half a minute left in the game, and the entire audience holds their breath. If Spain attacks again, it is possible to tie or overtake.

Doss kept suppressing the clock until there were 7 seconds left in the attack time. He suddenly started, relying on his teammates' pick-and-roll to get rid of Zhou Tao, and faced Jonny with a small throw. The ball circled the basket several times.

, finally reluctantly fell into the net, tied!

Suddenly, all members of the Spanish team jumped up and fell behind for the whole game. Finally, they tied the score with 6 seconds left in the game. This really boosted morale.

The Chinese team called a timeout for the last time. Yu Haiming looked heavy and drew an extremely complicated coordination on the tactical board with only one purpose: to allow Zhou Tao to successfully receive the ball!

At the end of the timeout, the players of the Huaxia team formed a long snake formation. After several reverse runs, the ball finally passed to Zhou Tao's hands, but there were two defensive players standing in front of him, and time did not allow him to

He used complicated movements to get rid of his opponent. He counted the time, dribbled the ball and moved a few steps laterally. Suddenly, he made an independent three-pointer from behind. Was it possible?

At this moment, at least 100 million people around the world were watching this high-flying basketball, and most of them were praying in their hearts: The sky is full of gods and Buddhas, whether they are Tathagata Buddha or Sanqing Taoist Patriarch, please

Bless me, let this ball go in!

Perhaps it was the power of faith that moved the gods and Buddhas all over the sky. After the basketball bounced on the rim, it bounced to the top of the backboard, then fell gently, and fell into the net obediently under the gaze of hundreds of millions of people!

"Oh oh oh oh!..." People all over China, in wine and at home, screamed loudly at this moment. It was so exciting. What could be more stimulating to people's nerves than a winning goal?

The whistle sounded at the right time. With Zhou Tao's decisive three-pointer, the Chinese team won with difficulty 133 to 130.

"It's definitely a narrow victory! I didn't expect Spain to be so strong. If other opponents had been defeated by Zhou Tao's few goals, it would be fine. In the end, our Chinese team still won and entered the World Youth Championship historically.

Congratulations to the Chinese team for the final!" Yu Jia said excitedly

"Let's look at the technical statistics, wow! Zhou Tao scored another super five-double, 61 points, 22 assists, 23 rebounds, 11 steals and 11 blocks. His reputation as the king of five doubles is still there! In addition, Gao Ming got

scored 22 points, Jonny scored 18 points and 12 rebounds, Guo Lun also scored 15 points and 6 assists... In Spain, super center Ista scored a team-high 30 points and 15 rebounds, and Doss scored 18 points.

13 assists..." Yu Jia finished the technical statistics of both sides in one breath.

The media was very normal about the Chinese team's defeat of the Spanish team. In their view, it would be big news if the Chinese team lost! However, since it was a narrow victory, many media also rushed to report on it. Corriere dello Sport reported that "the Chinese team

Encountering danger for the first time, Zhou Tao made a three-pointer to beat Spain", focusing on this game.

Sky Sports also published a large photo of Zhou Tao's winning shot and praised: It was Zhou Tao's heroic performance that defeated the Spanish team, the European basketball hegemon.

The domestic Basketball Pioneer even introduced the game in a full-page front page. Several famous writers wrote articles describing the Chinese team's record-breaking run into the World Youth Championship finals as a "miracle" and attracted gods.
