Zhou Tao made two free throws. Coach K of the US team immediately called for a substitution, replacing Chandler who was not in a good mood and replaced him with Anthony Davis, Zhou Tao's opponent in the World Youth Championship. Luo Anthony also came off the bench to replace Kobe, and point guard Deron Williams also replaced Paul.

The Huaxia team continued to have the ball. Zhou Peng sent the ball out. Zhou Tao dribbled the ball unhurriedly. When Dayao inside stood in position, he hoisted the ball in. Davis did not dare to neglect and stayed close to him. Living in Dayao, he was originally known for his defense. Now, Dayao really couldn't do anything to him.

In desperation, Dayao passed the ball, but unexpectedly an Anthony came out in the middle. He quickly reached out to cut the ball and grabbed the ball before Zhou Tao. Then, he took two steps and made a long pass. Durant had already started. He was faster than Zhou Peng who was chasing him. He reached the basket in a few seconds and scored two points with a dunk.

At this time, the morale of the American team was greatly boosted, and the defense became sharper. No, Wang Shipeng, who had just come on the field, suddenly failed to control the ball, allowing Durant to steal from behind, poke the ball down, and then the third-line speed Attack, Anthony succeeded with a flying dunk

The score got closer step by step, and Zhou Tao was double-teamed by the opponent, making it a bit difficult to catch the ball. In this case, only Dayao occasionally had a chance, allowing the US team to close the score to 30 at the end of the first quarter. Compared with 33, there is only a three-point difference.

"You have to run more and try to open up as much space as possible so that they don't dare to attack Zhou Tao too much. Only in this way can we have a chance. Johnny and Da Zhi come up, replacing Dayao and Xiao Yi. Sun Le, you come up." With Andy on top, guard Williams and pay attention to protecting the ball. Don't lose the ball so easily. Their fast break is so powerful!" Li Nan's voice became a little hoarse.

The second quarter between the two sides was all about the strength of the substitutes. In this regard, the Chinese team was obviously inferior, even though Zhou Tao tried his best (of course, he didn't use his special powers, so it would be a bit in vain to win), crazy He scored points on the ground, but other points were completely destroyed, especially the two-star Thunder star Durant and Westbrook, which caused chaos in the Chinese team's defense. After half a quarter, the American team turned the score over, 55 than 50, forcing Li Nan to adjust personnel

Dayao and Xiaoyi appeared again, and the Chinese team's style of play also changed, from a pure outside attack to a combination of inside and outside. The American team suddenly had a headache. This was the style of play they were most afraid of, because they were super inside. Weak!

Dayao held the ball and relied on Chandler. A few feints made Chandler very uncomfortable. Dayao was about to succeed. James saw that something was not going well and quickly came over to help defend. There was a strange look on Dayao's face. With a smile, he passed the ball to Xiao Yi who was free with one hand. Xiao Yi made a fake move to break through. Paul rolled his eyes and slid over to steal it. Unexpectedly, Xiao Yi shook his hand and threw the ball up. A shadow in the bush flew towards the basket, caught the ball in the air, and dunked it down arrogantly, "Bang!" The basket groaned in pain, and the ball also penetrated into the net.

It was Zhou Tao again. He took advantage of Paul's opportunity to help defend and quickly cut in. Xiao Yi's cooperation with him was perfect. This alley-oop was simply earth-shattering, and the audience on the sidelines cheered wildly. Voices of "Great strategy, only China" resounded over the London Basketball Stadium again

After Kobe Bryant made a difficult three-pointer, Zhou Tao was not to be outdone. Facing a double team, he forced a jumper to shoot a three-pointer. The basketball hit the backboard hard, just when people thought the ball would bounce away.

, the ball bounced into the net very simply. It turned out that this was a cricket ball.

As the ball went into the basket, half-time expired. This buzzer-beater also allowed the Chinese team to successfully take the lead again at 70-69 and enter the halftime break.

"It's so exciting! I don't know how many years I haven't seen such an exciting Olympic basketball final!" Yu Jia said excitedly, "In other words, this is the most exciting Olympic game I have ever seen in my life, even though it was

The final between the United States and Spain was also very exciting, but compared to this one, it was nothing!"

"Yes, although everyone had various speculations before the game, few people could have guessed that both sides would attack so fiercely. This also completely subverts the view that 'champions rely on defense'!" Teacher Su was also very excited,

He rarely danced and explained.

In the Huaxia team's locker room, Li Nan held the tactical board and said: "I am very satisfied with the first half, especially being able to overtake the score after falling behind for a while. This is very morale-boosting. It shows that we have the ability to win at any time."

In the second half, we adhered to this style of play to win the victory under the circumstances, using offense to attack and combining internal and external forces."

Zhou Tao took a sip of water and said: "I estimate that the American team will speed up the pace in the second half because their physical strength is better than ours. Therefore, I suggest that we slow down the pace of the game and enter the fighting style we are most familiar with."

"Yes, based on what I know about them, what Zhou Tao said is very possible," Dayao interjected.

"Okay, just do what Zhou Tao said, do you understand?" Li Nan quickly adopted Zhou Tao's advice.

"Got it!" everyone shouted with excitement.

In the locker room of the US team, the atmosphere was very good. They were very satisfied with the result of the first half, because they have always been accustomed to exerting force from the back, and their abundant physical strength ensured that they could attack indiscriminately throughout the game, unlike other teams.

You can only last half a half or the first three quarters

"Quick, in one word, we have to play fast!" Coach K pointed at the tactical board, "We have to be fast on offense and fast on defense, forcing them to follow us and play fast!"

The members of the U.S. team nodded one after another. Playing fast is what they are best at. If it comes to a positional battle, only Kobe and Durant are the masters. Others are not so good at it.

Soon, the third quarter of the game began. The two sides continued to play with their starting lineups. The American team attacked first. Paul used James' single block to drive straight to the basket. Yao naturally couldn't let him shoot. He shouted and pounced on Paul.

With a sly smile, a secret backhand hit the ball, and the ball was handed to Chandler. At this time, Chandler was completely open, and all that was left was to dunk the ball in.

Chandler was ecstatic, he didn't score the whole game, and now the chance finally came, the chance for revenge!

He roared wildly and raised the basketball with both hands. Looking at his posture, he seemed to want to knock the basket over.

At this moment, a figure flew up from behind. Just when Chandler was about to dunk the ball in, he swatted it hard and nailed the ball directly to the backboard!

It's Zhou Tao again! His elegant figure is descending from above, still holding the ball under the cover in his hand, and he is leading it forward quickly. Many people, including his teammates, have not yet recovered from the shock caused by the ball just now.

He woke up from his regret and allowed him to rush through the frontcourt smoothly.

Fortunately, Kobe Bryant, who was standing outside, did not lose his mind for long. He blocked Zhou Tao's path in time and slowed down the Chinese team's fast break. It was his blocking that allowed the rest of the American team to rush back.

Zhou Tao saw that the opponent's defense was in place and the opportunity for fast break was gone, so he slowed down and seemed to be waiting for his teammates to come over. This also made Kobe a little more alert and relaxed a little on defense.

There was a wicked smile on Zhou Tao's lips. When the opportunity came, what he was least afraid of was singles. Chaos was a challenge for him. The higher the difficulty, the more challenging it was.

An indescribably fast turn and change of direction, directly passed Kobe, and then faced Paul who was rushing to take over, he had no intention of dodging, and rushed straight over, startling Paul, and quickly got out of the way because if he bumped into I don’t know whether he will be injured or not. He must have committed a blocking foul.

In this way, only Chandler and James were left in front of Zhou Tao, and he was only two or three steps away from the basket. Without any hesitation, he took three steps and squeezed out of the gap between the two. A space, flying to the basket

The audience screamed, this ball was so overbearing. Both Chandler and James are known for their toughness and muscles, but Zhou Tao actually dared to challenge them. It was really surprising and admirable.

A trace of anger flashed in James's eyes. He couldn't stand the humiliation of being buckled. This was always his patent. Unexpectedly, Zhou Tao actually wanted to use this trick to humiliate him today. It can be said that his uncle can bear it, but his aunt can't bear it anymore!

He jumped up forcefully, opened both sides and blocked the ball with all his strength, and Chandler seemed to have the same mentality as him, preferring to foul rather than let Zhou Tao dunk it.

Then the audience was horrified to see two big men covering Zhou Tao in the middle. The huge gap in body size made everyone sweat for Zhou Tao. They were really afraid that he would be crushed.

However, what surprised everyone was that the result of the collision between the three people, no, the result should be that the two of them collided with Zhou Tao. James and Chandler were both bounced away, but Zhou Tao still rose up. , held the ball with both hands and dunked it hard, bending the rim downwards, startling the reporters below.

Not surprisingly, the referee's whistle sounded, and their gestures were even more shocking. First they pointed at Chandler, a personal foul, and then surprisingly, they pointed at James. This gesture was quite harsh, a flagrant foul!

Wow! This penalty is really unprecedented. I have never seen two people penalized for one foul before. So even Zhou Tao himself was a little stunned, looking at the referee speechless.

The old coach K of the US team was even more anxious. He rushed over and asked the referee. Kobe also came over and asked the referee seriously.

But the referee insisted on his opinion. He stubbornly believed that first Chandler collided with Zhou Tao, and then James pulled Zhou Tao's shoulder. This was a dangerous move, and there was no problem with the penalty.

And the subsequent TV replays can clearly see that the situation is exactly as the referee said, making the audience have to admire the referee's vision.

The American team suffered a huge loss at this time. Not only did Zhou Tao succeed in one-on-four, humiliating him a lot, but he also got a chance to make three free throws. It is very possible that he could score 8 points in one attack.
