Seeing that the opponent was getting closer to the score, Li Nan was not too anxious. He believed that with Zhou Tao's ability, he could change the situation. Therefore, he did not call a timeout, but chose to let the players solve the problem on their own.

Zhou Tao is Zhou Tao, and his insight is indeed extraordinary. When he saw that the attack was blocked, he immediately changed his style of play. Facing Bekov's tough defense, he feinted several times in a row, making Bekov a little dizzy, and then accelerated and defeated Bekov.

passed him

Seeing this, Kirilenko quickly double-teamed over. Zhou Tao made an emergency stop, turned around and dribbled, avoiding his blocking position. Facing the last defender, center Mozkov, he jumped without hesitation.

Get up and take a shot!

Mozkov would let him shoot such an easy shot. He shouted loudly, jumped up, and blocked the shot with his big hand, trying to kill the ball in the cradle.

However, Mozkov noticed a strange smile on Zhou Tao's face in the air. He suddenly screamed, thinking that Johnny behind him seemed to be empty. Could it be?

Sure enough, Zhou Tao twisted slightly in the air, leaned against Mozkov with his back, and strangely pushed his left hand back. The ball was skillfully passed to Johnny's hands. The unguarded Johnny heard a thunderbolt from the blue.

Jump up high, hold the ball with both hands and slam it down, violently scoring two points

Soon, the first half will be over. In the last ten seconds, the ball is in the hands of the Russian team. They are still 10 points behind. They must score one to reduce the point difference to single digits, so that the second half will be easier to manage.

After passing the ball several times, the ball was transferred to Kirilenko, which was their most stable point. However, at this time, the person guarding him became Zhou Tao, the strongest defensive player in the Chinese team.

There were still 7 seconds left on the clock. Kirilenko had no room for hesitation. He took two steps and immediately turned around and shot a jump shot. He really had no confidence to break through Zhou Tao's defense.

"Oops!" Kirilenko felt the ball was broken as soon as he turned around. Then he saw Zhou Tao had picked up the ball on the ground and ran forward.

There were still two seconds left, and Zhou Tao was still in the backcourt at this time. He raised his hand and shot. The distance was a bit far. In the eyes of ordinary people, a successful shot is undoubtedly good luck.

At this time, Zhou Tao's profound skills were revealed. The arc of the ball's flight was very beautiful. In the nervous eyes of the audience, "Shabu!" was very accurate. The ball fell straight into the center of the net and hit a super long three-pointer!

"Yeah! My husband is so awesome!" Shangguan Yichen jumped up happily and high-fived her sisters. Each of them had a satisfied smile on their face. Although this husband is a bit lustful, he is really capable.

The first half ended. The Chinese team entered the break with a 13-point advantage.

Looking at the entire first half, among the 73 points scored by the Chinese team, Zhou Tao scored 50 of them. Of the remaining 23 points, Dayao scored 10 points, and the rest did not score in double figures.

The 50 points in this half were not only the highest half-time score in Olympic history, but also the highest score in the entire game so far, breaking his previous record of 43 points.

"The problem now facing the coach of the Russian team is how to guard against Zhou Tao? This is definitely a big problem! If it were me, I would be helpless." Yu Jia said with a smile. Now that the Chinese team is leading by a big score, his mood

Of course it's excellent

"I think his only thought now is, God, please protect the opponent's No. 4 shot from being inaccurate!" Teacher Su humored him.

In the Russian team's locker room, David Blatter was frowning. He really did what Yu Jia said and couldn't think of a way to deal with Zhou Tao.

If you don't double-team him to defend him and let him shoot at will, it seems that his shooting rate is really high. If you double-team him, it's useless. He can always find an opening, break through and pass, or force a layup. Anyway, it is effective.

organize attack

"Coach, let me guard him!" When he was worried, Kirilenko came up and said

Blatter's eyes lit up, yes, why didn't he think of switching positions to defend? With Kirilenko's versatility, he should have a certain degree of restraint on Zhou Tao, so he did it!

After the start of the second half, Zhou Tao suddenly discovered that the opponent had changed defenders. When he was attacking with the ball, Kirilenko came over and used his long arms to constantly interfere with him.

Can you prevent me from dying like this? Zhou Tao sneered in his heart, just be taller than me and have longer hands than me? How naive!

The ball was constantly being moved back and forth under his crotch, and his skillful movements were dazzling. It only took a few seconds for Kirilenko to be stunned, and he couldn't bear it any longer.

, rushed forward with the intention of stealing. However, when have you ever seen Zhou Tao being intercepted?

Unexpectedly, Zhou Tao avoided Kirilenko's hand with a clever behind-the-back dribble. He exerted force with his feet, swiveled his body, leaned against him and turned around, successfully passing him.

Kayapa, who was guarding Xiao Yi, saw that the situation was not going well and must not let him break through! So, he decisively gave up his defender and stopped him, only to find that the ball in Zhou Tao's hand disappeared instantly. Not good!

When Kayapa looked back, he sluggishly discovered that Xiao Yi, who he was guarding, had jumped up high, held the ball with one hand, and used a move to "split Huashan", smashing the basket and screaming!

Zhou Tao passed this ball so wonderfully. Just as the opponent was about to pounce, he immediately made a wonderful ground-breaking pass. The ball bounced right in front of Xiao Yi, allowing him to catch it very comfortably.

The ball, just one step and dunked, it was unstoppable

There was no time to be frustrated. Now they were 15 points behind. The Russian team could only choose to play fast. Bykov advanced quickly. When he saw Kirilenko running out to ask for the ball, he was about to pass the ball, but found that Zhu Fangyu was facing the ball.

Lilenko rushed to defend and hesitated for a moment. When he was thinking about his next move, a hand stretched out like a ghost and took the ball away alive!

It's Zhou Tao again. He has decided to end the battle in the third quarter, so he suddenly increased his defensive intensity. This goal is the result of his full concentration.

"Show time!" The audience shouted wildly. They could already predict that Zhou Tao's performance time would come next, but they didn't know what shocking tricks he would use this time.

One step, two steps, three steps, finally, under the expectant eyes of the audience, Zhou Tao rushed to the three-point line. This time, will he still use that complicated and exciting action?

Ah, why did he throw the ball? This is still the three-point line! What is he going to do?

As the ball was released, Zhou Tao soared into the air and caught the ball that bounced off the backboard. Instead of dunking directly, he turned around 180 degrees with his back to the basket and performed a powerful reverse dunk that was shocking.

Blast the whole place!

"I see, Zhou Tao's dunks over the past year can be made into a highlight reel. They are all different, full of tricks, and even more exciting than Carter. In next year's All-Star Slam Dunk Contest, if Zhou Tao participates,

He can declare like this: Bro, you guys should fight for the second place! Haha," Yu Jia exclaimed.

When the Russian team sent the ball, they were surprised to find that the Chinese team actually adopted a full-court press. Zhou Tao locked Bekov tightly in the frontcourt and prevented him from dribbling forward. Bekov did not adapt at once.

, unable to take a few steps, he was forced to dribble on the spot, waiting for his teammates to come and respond.

However, everyone else was also tightly pressed, and it was impossible to have any space to catch the ball. Bekov saw that the eight seconds were almost up, and it would be a violation if he didn't pass the ball. He gritted his teeth, jumped up and threw the ball.

, hoping that teammates can receive it first

I never thought that the ball only flew a small distance, almost negligible, before Zhou Tao caught him and intercepted it.

This was originally under the basket. Zhou Tao's break was enough to dunk him right away. Bekov had no choice but to pull up, hoping to prevent Zhou Tao from scoring.

However, he was still disappointed this time, no, it should be said that he was desperate! His pulling was not without force, but it was also a beating to death. He was holding on with the mentality that if he committed a foul, he would do it so hard that he would die.

Zhou Tao ignored such a small amount of strength and pulled it up abruptly. He even brought Bykov up a little. With a "bang", the basketball smashed into the basket.

The referee's whistle was blown without any hesitation, almost as soon as the ball was scored. Bekov tragically received his fourth foul and had to go to rest early.

Without Bekov's organization, the Russian team is even more chaotic. Although Shved, who came on the bench, is tall, reaching 2.01 meters, he is not very fast and his passing skills are slightly inferior to Bekov.

The Chinese team still used a full-court press. As soon as the Russian team's ball was released, Zhou Tao stepped forward to press Shved. Shved's strong body could not resist him. He suddenly panicked and the ball was in his hands.

Swinging, praying to find a gap to pass him

However, Zhou Tao's defense has always been very disappointing. Shved sadly found that he had no way to move and quickly called his teammates to come over and help him.

Just when he was distracted, Zhou Tao moved his hand, and with a ghostly poke, the ball was lifted up by him, hit Shved on the chin, and then bounced to the ground.

Before Shvid could recover, Zhou Tao had already bent down to grab the ball, turned around extremely quickly, and easily scored two points.

At this time, the Russian team was completely panicked. The more they fought, the more chaotic they became. They called two timeouts to make arrangements, but it was useless. They just couldn't get an easy chance to take action. The score became bigger and bigger.

In the entire third quarter, the Russian team only scored a pitiful 8 points, but allowed the Chinese team to score an astonishing 43 points. This time, the point difference was infinitely widened to 48 points, making the final quarter completely unstoppable.

It’s become garbage time

And in this quarter, Zhou Tao increased his personal score to 65 points, his assists also soared, reaching 11 times, and his rebounds reached 13. There were not many blocks, "only" 10. The most terrifying thing was the steals. This alone

I grabbed 8 in one quarter, bringing the total to 15!

In this way, the first Mr. Five-Double in the history of the Olympic Games was born in London!

In the last quarter, Zhou Tao and other main players sat on the sidelines chatting and laughing, watching a group of substitutes continue to torture the Russian team's fighting spirit.

Now the entire Russian team has no fighting spirit. The only thing they hope is to hear the referee's long whistle so that they can leave and avoid being embarrassed here.
Chapter completed!
