Chapter 882 Enter the finals!
Tang Tian's series of scores further strengthened the Spanish team's strategy of double-teaming to the end.
But after excessive double-teaming, Yi Jianlian and Zhou Peng seized the opportunity to score continuously.
The 10-point advantage established by the Spanish team was instantly caught up.
The two teams were in a stalemate again.
This stalemate was until two minutes before the end of the game, and the two teams scored 85-83, and the Chinese team had a slight lead of 2 points.
At this time, any goal may determine the outcome, and any goal will be priceless.
Spain's ball rights, frontcourt team attack, Mirotic's three-pointer from the outside.
The whole audience was breathing in a while.
"Bang!"
The basketball hit the box and Mirotic failed to seize the opportunity of the key ball.
However, Gasol's judgment of rebounds was more accurate. He grabbed Yi Jianlian and then won the offensive rebound.
Mirotic took advantage of Zhou Qi's distracted skills and quickly cut into the basket.
Gasol passed the ball with his hand, and Mirotic scored a layup after receiving the ball!
He scored his 24th point in this game and helped the Spanish team tie the score!
The Chinese fans at the scene were disappointed. On social media, fans who were following the game were also complaining about Zhou Qi.
Zhou Qi was on the team in the first game of the Olympics. He has not only become a substitute until now, but also cannot contribute when the team needs him.
Not every Chinese can become Tang Tian. Tang Tian's appearance has improved Zhou Qi and the others' ranking, but they still have a long way to go.
Tang Tian didn't say anything at this time, just reminding Zhou Qi to pay attention to his defensive position.
Zhou Qi is the one who benefits the most in this Olympics. Tang Tian has guided him many times during the competition.
In one and a half minutes, many fans on the scene stood up, and they could already feel the smell of gunpowder in the air.
Fernandez's confidence did not really give Spain an advantage, and both sides still have the same chance of promotion.
Tang Tian's sudden score and Zhao Jiwei's three-pointer opportunity from the outside.
However, he did not really take action, but instead brought the ball back to Tang Tian after assisting the defense.
Tang Tian took the ball and turned back, and Fernandez saved very well.
"Swish!"
However, Tang Tian still threw the ball in with the defense!
Excellent personal ability!
The Chinese team took the lead again!
The fans on the scene and the fans in front of the TV were breathing heavily.
The game cannot be decided until the last moment.
Gasol pulled Yi Jianlian out, Mirotic attacked Zhou Qi at the basket, and Zhou Qi was obviously unable to resist the battle, so he knocked Zhou Qi away and made a layup.
But Zhou Qi used all his strength to this ball. After he fought, he felt a little unstable in the center of gravity. The ball he shot and slid out against the basket!
Butter hands at critical moments!
With 30 seconds left in the game, Yi Jianlian grabbed the defensive rebound. Tang Tian reached out and called a timeout while pushing through the half.
The international arena is different from the NBA. There are only 3 timeouts in the second half. Including the previous two, this is already the last one.
In other words, this is the final pause.
After the timeout, Tang Tian held the ball from outside the three-point line to suppress the time.
With about 15 seconds left before the end of the game, he called Yi Jianlian to pick-and-roll at a high position.
He used the pick-and-roll to break through, and a fake move to return the ball deceived Gasol, and he rushed to the basket three steps, confronted Mirotic and took action.
"Swish!"
With a crisp sound, Tang Tian successfully sent the ball into the basket!
The most critical goal!
The cheers exploded!
Michael Don!
The Chinese team scored 4 points to lead!
There are only the last 10 seconds left in the game, and there is basically no hope for the Spanish team, which is 4 points behind, to win.
Scarioro called for a pause.
Although the situation is extremely unfavorable, in the four-year game, this kind of game with a completely different advancement and retreat, no one will give up in less than the last second.
"Defend 3 points and give 2 points appropriately. If the opponent scores 2 points, quickly send the ball to me in the backcourt."
Tang Tian quickly arranged tactics with a tactical board. Compared to being a player, he was more skilled in being a coach.
After the timeout, the Spanish team played outside tactics.
Scarioro knew Tang Tian’s free throw ability, so he chose to take a gamble.
But his ideas were completely understood by Tang Tian, and there was no chance of continuous pick-and-roll.
Seeing that the attack time was short, Fernandez forced a three-pointer against Zhou Qi.
This ball will not be good for the phone, he has increased the arc.
"Bang!"
But he underestimated Zhou Qi's arm span and was directly covered with a move!
Zhou Qi also used this ball to justify himself! He may still need time to grow, but his talent is not bad!
After the ball was blocked, the trajectory changed and fell directly into Yi Jianlian's hands. Yi Jianlian held the ball tightly, and the game lost its suspense!
The final whistle sounded, and Yi Jianlian still held the basketball tightly and did not let go.
The deafening cheers of Chinese fans rang out at the scene.
Far from the other side of the ocean, tens of millions of fans jumped excitedly in front of the TV.
Win! The Chinese team really won!
It’s no longer the group stage where Fernandez doesn’t care about, it’s the knockout round!
The Chinese team eliminated the Spanish team in the semi-finals and reached the Olympic finals historic!
They have already guaranteed the silver medal!
The Chinese team members celebrated excitedly on the court. Tang Tian saw Yi Jianlian holding the ball tightly and went over to pat his shoulder.
Only then did he realize that Yi Jianlian's eyes were a little red.
Yao Ming asked Tang Tian to let the 13 jerseys top the Olympic podium, which was his spiritual sustenance.
But Yi Jianlian is really fighting. After being beaten by countless people, the black lotus girl and Emperor Yi, he was under greater psychological pressure than anyone else.
Now he did it, and the emotional touch was completely incomprehensible to others.
Tang Tian patted his shoulder and encouraged him a few words before he put down the rebound and then went with Tang Tian to meet the victory in front of him.
They really did it!
In the other half, the Spanish team members were very disappointed.
Just like Fernandez showed before the game, they thought it was their best chance to win the championship.
But in the end, they fell at the gate of the finals, and they lost to the Chinese team, a team that defeated them four years ago!
After the game, they left the court without participating in the handshake ceremony.
Again and again, the two teams have been tied up.
In the stands, Vignali was a little excited and waved to Tang Tian. Moore was also cheering Tang Tian, Kangda's junior.
Not far from them, the American men's basketball players who came to watch the game also seemed very happy.
Losing to the Chinese team in the group stage has brought them unprecedented doubts, and there is nothing better way to prove themselves than winning the Chinese team in the knockout round.
Durant's eyes were full of fighting spirit.
In the past, no one would encourage him to spur him in the Thunder, and he would compete with him all by himself, but now Green is by his side and keeps motivating him.
He no longer fears Tang Tian as much as in the group stage.
Green is right. The Chinese team only has Tang Tian, and he has so many powerful teammates. He needs to face Tang Tian directly.
Chapter completed!
