Chapter 156: Score 54 points! Qualified from the group!
"Dear viewers, this is the last game of the fifth round of Group A of the Rio Olympic Games brought to you by CCTV Sports Channel. The Chinese men's basketball team plays against the Serbian men's basketball team."
"The game is currently in the fourth quarter. In the first three quarters, the two teams battled to 80:75! The Chinese men's basketball team led by 5 points."
"In this game, Chinese player Wang Feng performed very well. He scored 40 points in the first three quarters, breaking Dayao's record of 38 points in a single game ahead of schedule and becoming the single-game scoring record in the history of the Chinese men's basketball Olympics.
The tallest player."
"It's just that the situation is still very anxious. With the score difference only 5 points, Serbia will definitely launch a fierce counterattack in the fourth quarter! In the first three quarters, Wang Feng played for 30 minutes and played the entire game. His physical exertion must be very high.
Seriously, other players must step up to help in the next game."
The narrator's worries are also the worries of the viewers in front of the TV.
Wang Feng's scoring efficiency is very high, but his physical problems cannot be ignored.
Wasn't that what Dayao was like back then?
At that time, the Huaguo men's basketball team relied on Dayao to keep up the pace in the first and second quarters.
But in the second half, as Dayao's physical energy was depleted, the situation quickly became passive.
Although Wang Feng is a backcourt player, he does not need fierce confrontation in the paint like Yao, and his weight is lighter. But even so, it is a bit difficult to play the whole game while taking into account both offense and defense, right?
…
On the court, at the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Serbian men's basketball team continued to show the same offense as in the third quarter.
Jokic continuously beat Zhou Qi under the basket and successfully scored.
Wang Zhelin had already fouled out four times in the third quarter. At this time, it was Zhou Qi who was responsible for supporting Jokic in the paint.
At this stage, Jokic is not as strong as when he won the MVP in the future, but his tonnage as an inside line is considerable, at least he has a huge advantage over Zhou Qi, who has a skinny bamboo body.
On the Chinese men's basketball team, Guo Ailun missed a three-point shot from the outside. The Arab League attacked hard from the basket and caused a defensive foul on the opponent, making 1 of 2 free throws.
Within the first two minutes of the game, the Huaguo men's basketball team's 5-point advantage was further reduced to 2 points!
"Give me the ball."
At this time, Wang Feng said to Guo Ailun.
In the previous competition, he had shown all his strength, but he still hid a very crucial move, or there was a badge that he never used.
Before halftime, Guo Ailun passed the ball to Wang Feng, who slowly dribbled the ball across the half court.
Bogdanovic saw Wang Feng coming over with the ball and was about to step forward.
But in the next second, Wang Feng suddenly jumped up and took action!
"???"
Bogdanovic watched in astonishment as Wang Feng took off and shot, two or three steps away from the three-point line. "Is this guy crazy? How could he make this shot?"
"brush!"
The basketball flew across half of the court and then accurately entered the basket.
Remote turret!
Extend the mid-to-long-range and three-point shooting range! The extension effect is directly linked to the badge level and ability value.
Wang Feng's long-range turret badge is a gold All-Star level. Although it has not reached the highest purple Hall of Fame level, the effect is quite impressive, especially when paired with Wang Feng's 94 three-pointer, which directly extends his range to three-pointers.
The distance outside the line is about 1.5 meters, and it’s an NBA arena!
The three-point line in international basketball is closer than that in the NBA, so Wang Feng can shoot from a distance of nearly three steps and ensure a hit rate.
Bogdanovic obviously didn't react when Wang Feng hit a three-pointer with a sudden cold arrow.
"Isn't this guy too bold? He dares to shoot from this distance?"
In the next round, Serbia used tactical cooperation to create an open shooting opportunity. Unfortunately, the player responsible for the last shot had poor touch and failed to make the basketball. The rebound was grabbed by the United Arab Emirates.
After winning the rebound, UAE directly passed the basketball to Wang Feng. The latter didn't even pause and immediately started sprinting towards the Serbian backcourt.
Seeing this, three Serbian players immediately stepped forward to stop Wang Feng.
In the first three quarters of the game, they have fully realized how fast Wang Feng is. Once he is allowed to accelerate with the ball, he must foul if he wants to stop him.
While the three of them were surrounding each other, they were also paying attention to the positions of other Chinese players on the field, so they were not too close to Wang Feng. After all, with the position of the three of them blocking almost all of Wang Feng's forward routes, there was no way he could get past.
But Wang Feng put the ball together with both hands, but did not pass the basketball out. Instead, he jumped on the spot and shot again!
"Come again?"
Bogdanovich looked at Wang Feng with wide eyes.
At this time, Wang Feng's distance is even further than before! It's almost just over one step past the center line!
Can he still make a shot from this distance?
Under the watchful eyes of three Serbian players, Wang Feng resolutely took out the basketball.
…
"Oops! Wang Feng was so anxious, why did he shoot just after passing midfield? This is too far from the three-point line. Even if Curry is afraid, he can't guarantee the shot... Beautiful! Another three-pointer, Wang Feng is going crazy
It’s over!”
Along with the commentator's passionate shouts, the Chinese fans in front of the TV screamed and roared!
One step forward in midfield, with three defensive players between me, I was able to score the ball. Do you accept it?
The Serbian men's basketball team was directly fooled. Is this still reasonable?
The score they finally recovered was widened in the blink of an eye, from 2 points to 8 points.
The somewhat panicked Serbian men's basketball team also began to try to close the score through three-pointers from the outside. However, the players, whose momentum had been completely driven by Wang Feng's two ultra-long three-pointers, were fully motivated on the court. Serbia twice went outside the three-point line.
All attempts missed, and the Chinese men's basketball team even seized the opportunity to counterattack. Once Wang Feng held the ball and scored a fast break layup, and once Guo Ailun rushed to the basket and caused a foul and made 2 free throws.
The point difference changed from 8 points to 12 points.
The Serbian head coach called a timeout.
"Okay! Good job!"
Gong Luming was trembling with excitement. This kind of thing had never happened in his many years of coaching. Wang Feng's two consecutive unreasonable long-distance three-pointers directly defeated the Serbian men's basketball team!
The game is already halfway through the fourth quarter. As long as the score is maintained in the rest of the game, the Chinese men's basketball team will defeat Serbia and advance to the quarterfinals with fourth place in the group.
Just as Gong Luming thought, after the timeout, Serbia launched another aggressive attack, hoping to quickly close the score.
However, the Chinese men's basketball team followed Gong Luming's tactical arrangements and strictly guarded the opponent. They often committed fouls and sent the opponent to the free throw line to interrupt the offensive rhythm.
More importantly, no matter how hard Serbia attacks, Wang Feng is always able to stand up and score.
At 6 minutes and 34 seconds, Wang Feng scored another 2 points with a mid-range fadeaway jumper.
At 4 minutes and 57 seconds, Wang Feng broke through and rushed to the basket to draw a foul, and made 2 of 2 free throws.
At 3 minutes and 01 seconds, Wang Feng hit two points with one step inside the three-point line.
…
Time passed by, but the score gap between the two teams remained at about 10 points. Until the moment the full-time whistle sounded, the players of the Chinese men's basketball team all hugged each other excitedly.
At 104:95, the Huaguo Men’s Basketball Team won the game with a 9-point advantage and successfully qualified for the group stage with a record of 2:3!
Eight years later, after experiencing the miserable failure of the 2012 London Olympics, the Chinese men's basketball team finally reached the quarterfinals again!
The game lasted for 40 minutes, and Wang Feng shocked the world by scoring 54 points, 3 rebounds and 4 steals!
