Kobe and others were discussing on the sidelines. Inside the court, the second quarter of the game between the two sides started again.

Both sides have made personnel adjustments. For the Chinese team, Hua Zai replaced Sun Le and formed a point guard with Zhou Tao. Jonny also got a chance to play. He partnered with Da Zhi in the paint, forming an offensive and defensive trend.

In addition, Wang Shipeng also replaced Zhu Fangyu. Among the five starting players, only Zhou Tao was still on the court.

The Spanish team also made adjustments, leaving Marc Gasol and Fernandez in the starting lineup and replacing them with point guard Rodriguez, shooting guard Sergio Yule and power forward Reyes.

The Spanish team attacked first, Rodriguez dribbled over quickly, and it was Hua Tsai who defended him. The two sides were almost the same in size, but Rodriguez had the slight upper hand in terms of strength. After all, Europeans are naturally stronger.

point

It doesn't matter if Hua Tsai is close to his opponent. He can make up for it with speed. In terms of absolute speed, Hua Tsai also has the advantage.

Fernandez came out of his pocket to catch the ball. Faced with Wang Shipeng's follow-up defense, he made a few dribbles, suddenly changed direction, passed through with the help of Marc Gasol's screen, and then made a pull-up jumper. Jonny

The seal was a bit slow, so I could only watch the ball fly towards the basket.

Fortunately, the ball circled in the basket a few times and came out. Dazhi stuck tightly and prevented Reyes from rushing to grab the rebound. Zhou Tao took the opportunity to jump high and grab the ball before Yule.

Pick it in your hand

"Quick break!" Zhou Tao yelled, and Hua Tsai over there was already prepared. He quickly started to rush into the frontcourt. The ball flew out of Zhou Tao's hand and passed Rodriguez's head. Hua Tsai grabbed it.

It was a three-step layup. Rodriguez jumped up to block the shot. Unexpectedly, Hua Tsai twisted his body and made a reverse layup. When the ball went in, the referee's whistle also sounded. The Spanish team's No. 4 player committed a foul.

!

Rodriguez spread his hands and his helplessness was palpable. It's not that I didn't try my best, it's just because the enemy is too cunning!

Hua Tsai hit the extra free throw very steadily, widening the point difference to 8 points. This was the largest point difference in the whole game. Zhou Tao came over and gave him a slap in the face and said: "Well done!"

However, in the next round, Rodriguez found a chance to take revenge. After a beautiful pick-and-roll, he easily inserted himself into the paint. Facing Jonny's block, he twisted around to avoid the front and hit a small hook lightly.

The board went into the basket and earned a foul from Johnny.

Similarly, he also scored a free throw, which was equivalent to making up for the mistake just now.

Zhou Tao was not willing to let the game drag into a deadlock. He decided to take over the game and dribbled over quickly. Yuer did not dare to neglect and stepped forward to intercept, but Zhou Tao simply ignored him and jumped up from behind the three-point line to take a shot.

I was caught off guard, and without even a basic reaction, the ball took off.

"Shake!" Zhou Tao, who has a three-point shooting percentage of more than 70%, is very confident in this kind of interference-free shot. The basketball is almost hollow into the basket. He raises his hands and makes a three-point gesture, very arrogant!

Youl was angry. He couldn't bear his mistake and was determined to atone for his sins. He reached out to Rodriguez and asked for the ball. The latter was originally going to give it to Reyes, but saw him asking for it several times in a row and had no choice but to give it to Rodriguez.

I had no choice but to pass it on.

Yuer took a deep breath and rushed forward with the ball, trying to get rid of Zhou Tao, but he was disappointed. Zhou Tao's speed was really not what he boasted. He stepped back and got stuck in front, preventing him from passing.

Yule's face showed a smile. He was determined to break through. He quickly stepped back and immediately jumped up to shoot. When he thought about it, Zhou Tao was already out of position and it was impossible to block his shot.

However, when he jumped into the air to take the shot, he was horrified to find that Zhou Tao had jumped up high and was hitting the ball less than two centimeters away from him with his big hand. With a "pop" sound, the ball was indeed shot away.

, flying straight towards the center line

Fortunately, Yule was slightly relieved that the ball fell into Rodriguez's hands and did not allow the Chinese team to start a fast break. He knew in his heart that the Chinese team's fast break was world-famous and extremely efficient.

Rodriguez looked at the time and saw that there were about 7 seconds left. There was nothing in front of him. What a great opportunity! He immediately rushed in, jumped up high, and prepared to do a tomahawk dunk to boost his morale.

A big hand ruthlessly killed his hope, and it was Zhou Tao again. He made up for it in time. At the moment Rodriguez was about to dunk in, he held the ball and forced it onto the backboard.

Rodriguez's vision went dark and he almost vomited blood. This Zhou Tao was really everywhere. He had just blocked his teammate over there. How could he come so quickly to block himself again?

It wasn't over yet. Zhou Tao took the ball in his hand and started immediately after coming down. He rushed forward at a whirlwind speed. Only Fernandez on the other side reacted fastest and blocked the way before him to stop him.

start fast break

However, Zhou Tao was not afraid of him at all. With a simple and practical backhand dribble, he very cleverly deceived Fernandez and continued to rush forward without losing speed.

In desperation, Fernandez stretched out his hand, and Zhou Tao seemed to have guessed his action. As he stretched out his hand, a strange smile appeared on his face, and he actually jumped up to shoot. At this moment,

He just crossed the center line!

The referee's whistle sounded, but the audience didn't care who was committing the foul. Their eyes were moving with the flight of the ball. This was a super long three-pointer. Zhou Tao had performed this kind of killer shot several times before.

One miss

This time there was no exception. After the basketball flew a long distance, it accurately fell into the net. The audience cheered. It was amazing. This ball that seemed to be thrown casually could actually go in!

The most frustrating thing was Fernandez. Not only did he fail to prevent Zhou Tao from completing the attack, he instead paid a technical foul, giving Zhou Tao another chance to make a free throw. The most important thing is that the ball rights returned to the Chinese team!

The free throw was made, and the Chinese team continued to kick off. Zhou Tao took the ball and took a step, shook Yule away, and seemed to be about to rush in. Yule quickly took a step back, but Zhou Tao had no intention of breaking through at all, and a very fast back

He stepped back and jumped up to shoot again from outside the three-point line. The helpless Yuer could only raise his hands in a symbolic gesture, which could not interfere with Zhou Tao's shot at all.

The ball was scored again, and the point difference instantly expanded to 15 points! Zhou Tao raised his hands in the air and made a three-point gesture, looking extremely arrogant!

On the other hand, the Spanish team was dejected by the blow. Seeing that the situation was not good, coach Scariolo quickly called a timeout. After some arrangements, he replaced Pau Gasol and Ibaka, replacing Marc Gasol.

Reyes

This move really worked. In the next wave of offense, Pau Gasol squeezed away the big shot and forced a shot. However, the force was slightly less. The ball hit the front basket and bounced out. Jonny jumped up and was about to pick off the rebound. A pair of

The big hand suddenly appeared and smashed the ball into the basket!

It's Ibaka! He deserves to be the famous spring man. This extra dunk greatly boosted morale. It not only narrowed the point difference, but also re-energized the morale of other teammates.

Sure enough, the Spanish team started to counterattack. Jonny's layup was blocked by Ibaka, and the rebound was grabbed by Pau Gasol. He made a long pass, and Rodriguez and Yule made a fast break.

, because Hua Tsai broke out a little deep just now, and Zhou Tao was the only one who returned to defend, but they made a subtle cooperation and used the help of the basket to get a layup.

The morale of the Spanish team was greatly boosted. When Da Zhi made an air cut layup, Pau Gasol made a strange shot and successfully knocked the ball down without fouling. He also grabbed the ball and started a fast break again.

, a gliding dunk by Fernandez

This was not a good sign. Li Nan immediately called a timeout. He could not let the opponent continue to be so crazy.

Dayao and Xiaoyi reappeared, otherwise it would be difficult to rely on Zhou Tao alone. The opponent is now attacking him with a double or even threesome. If there is no second stable scoring point, the Spanish team can continue to insist on this style of play.

As soon as they came up, Dayao and Zhou Tao made a beautiful combination of inside and outside. After successfully attracting Ibaka, he passed the ball back to Zhou Tao who cut in. Zhou Tao roared and flew into the air towards the basket.

The basket was a slam dunk. Pau Gasol was still standing in the offensive zone at this time. He didn't dare to block when he saw it. He quickly stepped aside, allowing Zhou Tao to complete this powerful "Taishan overwhelming" style dunk.

In the rest of the second quarter, the two sides played in a stalemate, with the score difference hovering around 10 points. 63 to 53, the Chinese team ended the half with the lead.

"Zhou Tao is so awesome!" Kobe Bryant praised, "He makes my blood boil and I want to play against him right away. Do you feel this way?"

"Indeed, only such an opponent can inspire all our energy. I'm really looking forward to the finals!" James' eyes flashed with enthusiasm, as if he saw the fierce confrontation between himself and Zhou Tao in the finals.

The same goes for other members of the US team, especially Paul. After being encouraged by Kobe Bryant, he is now high-spirited at halftime and is very eager to compete with Zhou Tao to see who is the world's number one point guard!

After a ten-minute break, the two sides returned to the court and began the decisive battle in the second half.

Through the testing in the first half, both sides gained a new understanding of each other, so the second half is the real battle.

The battle entered a fever pitch, and the score was still stalemate. After completing a defensive counterattack, Zhou Tao quickly returned to the defense. He did not have more time to celebrate, because Spain's attacks also became very sharp, and if you are not careful, you will cause a mistake.

ball

Calderon plays the role of an offensive organizer. He has sent out 8 assists, but his personal score is very few, only 6 points. After dribbling over, he did not face Zhou Tao directly, but sought cover from his teammates.

After successfully avoiding Zhou Tao, he took a few steps forward and then passed the ball to Fernandez in the bottom corner. Fernandez made a fake move and hit Zhu Fangyu. He immediately dribbled the ball and broke through from the bottom line, attracting the attention of Fernandez.

After Dayao's defense, he passed the ball lightly behind the back. Marc Gasol received the ball and dunked, recovering 2 points.

The two sides came and went, showing their respective characteristics vividly and vividly, which made the audience fascinated, with constant cheers and loud cheers.
Chapter completed!
