At the beginning of the second quarter, the Chinese men's basketball team stepped up its offense, with Dayao and Chen Yan remaining on the court.
Playing for a long time will not have any impact on Chen Yan. He has good physical strength and no injuries, but it will be a heavy load for Dayao, who has just returned from injury.
During the break, Yunus intentionally asked Dayao to leave the game for a few minutes, but Dayao refused.
Dayao doesn't want to have any regrets. The Chinese men's basketball team has already made history and reached the semi-finals. He wants to create an even bigger miracle at home.
In the first three minutes of the second quarter, Yao scored 8 points on 3 of 4 shots and free throws. He performed very tough!
Just when Dayao was gradually regaining his offensive status, Ginobili took advantage of the screen to get to the basket. Dayao sat under the basket and prepared to give Ginobili a big block. The Argentine Snake was very smart. After changing his footsteps, he used a weird
The posture was directed towards the Dayao people.
"Beep beep!"
The referee blew the whistle and called Dayao a defensive foul.
This was Dayao's second foul of the game. To protect Yunas, he could only be removed from the field. International competitions are different from the NBA. Players have to leave the field after committing 5 fouls.
After Dayao came off the court, the entire offensive burden of the Chinese team fell on Chen Yan.
Chen Yan scored 15 points in the second quarter with sudden shots, but it was difficult for him to defeat the four-handed team with two fists. The Argentine men's basketball team relied on teamwork to always suppress the Chinese men's basketball team.
At halftime, the Chinese men's basketball team was still 10 points behind 41 to 51.
During the halftime break, Zhang Lili made a half-time summary: "Chen Yan passed a lot of good shots today, but other players in the men's basketball team have not been able to find the touch. They did not convert Chen Yan's passes into assists. If our players
If the outside line is a little more accurate, we won't be behind by double digits at halftime, but it doesn't matter, the game is just halfway through, and the Chinese men's basketball team still has time to adjust."
Yu Jia looked at the data table in his hand and sighed: "Zhu Fangyu made 1 of 4 three-pointers, Da Zhi made 0 of 3 three-pointers, Sun Dasheng made 0 of 2 three-pointers, and Wang 7 also made 0 of 2. Today, all members of the Chinese men's basketball team are on the perimeter.
It’s not accurate, it seems that the touch is also contagious.”
After hearing this, the majority of domestic fans said it was pure nonsense. Chen Yan has so far scored 24 points on 10 of 15 shots. If the touch is really contagious, how come Chen Yan's touch is so good and has not been passed on to his teammates?
"Reduce unnecessary mistakes! If you feel bad, put more energy into the defensive end and fight with them! This is the Olympic semi-finals, show our fighting spirit, and attack more inside in the second half! Let the opponent see our
tough!"
In the locker room, Yunus of the Chinese men's basketball team was forced to adjust his tactics after seeing the collective misalignment of the perimeter.
Yunus' words inspired all the players. At the beginning of the second half, the men's basketball players clearly focused on defense and worked hard in every round. They didn't want to leave any regrets at home, so they really went all out!
However, the defensive level of the Chinese men's basketball team is far from the level of international strong teams. High-intensity defense is inevitably accompanied by high fouls. Soon Yao received his third foul.
Yunus had no choice but to replace Dayao again. Dayao threw down his towel in frustration on the bench. He was troubled by fouls tonight and his playing time was cut into pieces. He felt like he couldn't use his strength.
The Argentine team took advantage of Yao's absence to launch a wave of offensive. Nocioni cut inside and succeeded, Ginobili counterattacked and hit a chasing three-pointer, Scola's dreamy footwork showed off the Chinese men's basketball inside...
Seeing that the Chinese men's basketball team could no longer hold it any longer, Yunus quickly called a timeout.
Dayao is the pillar of the Chinese men's basketball team's defensive system. When he comes off the court
The team's defensive quality has dropped significantly. The United Arab Emirates is not as experienced as the experienced Scola, and Da Zhi often cannot keep up with the opponent's players.
"Argentina has gained momentum, and now the Chinese men's basketball team urgently needs a player to step up and score, to suppress their firepower, otherwise the game will hang in the balance." Zhang Lili said worriedly during the timeout.
"It depends on Chen Yan." Yu Jia on the side hit the nail on the head.
Dayao is troubled by fouls and his outside shooters are in poor condition. The only person the Chinese men's basketball team can rely on now is Chen Yan.
The Chinese men's basketball team served the ball from the sideline. While passing the ball to Chen Yan, the Arab League raised the ball to cover him.
Chen Yan took advantage of the screen and walked to the right side of the three-point line at a 45-degree angle. Da Zhi came over and set a second screen for Chen Yan.
The entire Chinese men's basketball team is creating opportunities for Chen Yan.
After the dislocation, Chen Yan met Scola in the right corner.
After pulling back and adjusting the rhythm, Chen Yan glanced in the direction of Da Zhi.
Chen Yan used his eyes to deceive Nosinho, who was about to attack from a flank, and then Chen Yan quickly changed direction with his hips and handed the ball to his right hand.
killer-crossover!
Chen Yan used Tim Hardaway's famous trick of killing, and the opposite Scola became the backdrop for death under the killer's knife.
Changing to the next acceleration, Chen Yan successfully broke through Scola's defense from the bottom line.
Chen Yan entered the penalty area and charged up to take off. Oberto directly chose to get out of the way.
Oberto saw the ball that Chen Yan passed over Kaman in the group stage. As a floor player, his physical fitness was even inferior to Kaman. Seeing Chen Yan sprinting at full strength, it was a wise choice to get out of the way.
Chen Yan flew to the basket and finished with two points.
This is Chen Yan’s 26th point in this game.
The reason why Chen Yan did not choose a morale-boosting dunk was because of physical factors. This game is bound to be a tough battle for the Chinese team, and he must preserve his physical fitness as much as possible.
Pregioni passed the ball to Ginobili after passing half the court. Sun Dasheng defended Ginobili. After a change, Ginobili used the cover to enter the penalty area. Ginobili used the ball in front of the Arab League.
He made very confusing steps, and when he made the final layup, he intentionally leaned on Ah Lian.
Ginobili is very scheming, and Dayao is currently in foul trouble. If the Chinese men's basketball team's other insider, Ah Lian, is also beaten, their defensive system will completely collapse.
It's a good idea, but it's a pity that the referee's whistle didn't sound.
Not only did Ginobili not foul himself, but he missed the shot because he lost his rhythm.
Zhu Ba turned around to protect the rebound, and Chen Yan made the first move.
The opportunity came out, but Zhu Ba didn't dare to pass it. This kind of long pass is not what he is good at and the risk is too high.
Chen Yan felt most powerless when he ran out of a good position but had no one to deliver the shells for him.
Every round he has to go out and catch the ball. This is really stable but also really tiring.
The Chinese team entered the positional battle at a steady pace.
After the pick-and-roll switch, Chen Yan faced Scola again.
Everyone pulled apart, and Chen Yan made a crotch change and forced himself to walk to Scola's left side.
This ball was exactly the same as the previous round. The moment Chen Yan changed direction, Scola moved to the right. He felt that he had seen through Chen Yan's offensive routine.
But at this moment, Chen Yan leaned over and accelerated, forcing himself past him!
Eat, just eat hard!
This is the embodiment of personal ability. You know where I am going but you just can’t stop me!
After passing Scola, Chen Yan made a throw in the middle.
This ball is thrown very softly and the top of the arc is also very ideal.
"Whoa!"
The crisp sound of network connection sounded.
Chen Yan's personal score reached 28 points.
Argentina attacking round.
Scola wanted the ball inside to beat UAE Lian alone. UAE Lian suffered a lot from him tonight, and they were very energetic in this round.
Scola failed to deceive the Arab League with two consecutive fake moves, and the last fake move with a semi-turning hook showed off the Arab League.
Ah Lian did not hold his breath and was thrown into the air. Scola made another step change to avoid Ah Lian and then made a layup with a low hand.
The moment Scola took action, Chen Yan came out from the baseline and confiscated the ball.
This ball didn't feel like a steal or a block. It felt like someone was trying to steal something while passing by. Everything happened naturally.
After getting the ball, Chen Yan immediately launched a single counterattack and ran all the way, leaving Scola messy in the wind. Scola couldn't figure out why a defender appeared in this position...
Chen Yan advanced all the way and passed through the defenses of Ginobili and Nosinho with a stray step and hit a backhand basket!
Smart Hunter is online!
In the past few years, when people mentioned the European step, the first player that came to mind was Ginobili, but now Chen Yan has become synonymous with this kind of pace, and his European step is more versatile and lethal.
The fans at the scene began to get excited. Chen Yan was single-handedly leading the Chinese team to chase points.
Zhang Weiping shouted excitedly: "What a good ball! You have to play like this. It is most reasonable to give the ball to Chen Yan!"
Yu Jia also got into an excited mood: "With 6 points in a row, my personal score has risen to 30 points. This period of time is completely Chen Yan's personal performance!"
The mentality of the Argentine team has not changed because of Chen Yan's small outburst. The psychological quality of the South American players is first-rate.
After calling the screen, Prigioni went straight to the basket and found Oberto with a coquettish behind-the-head pass, who followed up with a two-pointer.
There is more than one Ginobili in the Argentine team who can pass such a saucy ball. Prigioni also inherited the Argentinian's pedigree of having to be saucy when playing. There is always unexpected creativity hidden in his unpretentious dribbling.
With 5 minutes and 47 seconds left in the third quarter, Dayao returned to the field.
At this time, the score between the two sides was 63 to 60, and Chen Yan's personal ability barely held the score.
Seeing Dayao on the court, Yu Jia couldn't help shouting: "The Chinese team's inside pillar is finally back. Dayao rested on the bench for half the game. This is the Chinese team's best chance to tie or even overtake the score!"
Dayao showed great power in the first round. He was full of energy and directly ran over Oberto and scored two points!
63 to 60.
Argentina quickly called a timeout.
Chen Yan has fully opened up. If there is another big Yao, this game will be very difficult. Ginobili proposed to let the Argentinian players take turns to attack Dayao. Dayao currently has three fouls and dare not reach out easily. If he
If you are on normal defense, just make a foul and knock him down.
This proposal was approved by the coaching staff. Scola patted his chest on the spot and said that he had given himself the task of defeating Dayao. As a Rockets teammate, he knew Dayao very well.
The group of movie stars who came back from the timeout in Argentina began to improve their acting skills, and started to continuously target Dayao on both offense and defense. After 2 minutes and 34 seconds, Dayao received his fourth foul of the game.
Dayao's eyes were full of helplessness when he came off the field again. This intermittent appearance tortured his spirit very much.
Chen Yan tried a few more balls for his teammates before the end of the third quarter, but the shooters of the men's basketball team still couldn't find the touch.
In the fourth quarter, Ginobili took the lead and scored two points in a row. Without Yao in charge, he could rush to the basket unscrupulously.
Chen Yan also quickly responded with a super long three-pointer. Chen Yan did not take many super long three-pointers tonight. The Argentine team did a lot of research on him.
At the beginning of the last quarter, Chen Yan and Ginobili started a duel mode. Chen Yan's scoring power was very explosive and Ginobili was not a vegetarian. Jordan was not just talking about it in 20 minutes.
In the last 6 minutes of the final quarter, Dayao was sent on the field again.
The Chinese men's basketball team showed all its cards and prepared for a final fight with Argentina!
Dayao's performance this time was not good. First, his body was a little cold after resting for too long. Second, he had already committed four fouls and was timid on both the offensive and defensive ends.
With 3 minutes and 29 seconds left in the game, Yao got his fifth foul of the game in order to defend Prigioni's breakthrough!
Seeing Dayao's back and the lagging score, Yu Jia said in his deep voice: "The situation has become very serious. If you want to win, Chen Yan must score more points!"
Zhang Lili frowned: "Chen Yan has not rested for a minute so far. His physical fitness is a problem now."
"The bigger problem is not physical fitness but that no player can step up and help Chen Yan." Yu Jia said sharply.
Entering the second half of the final quarter, the Argentine team double-teamed Chen Yan extremely tightly. They pestered Chen Yan from the moment he caught the ball, and did not hesitate to let go of others and use 2-3 people to defend at the same time in order not to give him space to take action.
Even in the face of such heavy defensive pressure, Chen Yan still relied on transition to score 6 points in the last few minutes. Towards the end, Chen Yan became more determined in his shots, showing a complete superstar style.
Domestic fans hoped that Chen Yan would stand up again to save the team, but this time the hero did not appear. In the end, the men's basketball team lost the Olympic semi-finals 83-89.
In the end, the Chinese men's basketball team failed to defeat the defending champion Argentina.
The moment the whistle blew, Chen Yan couldn't help but burst into tears. At this moment, the fans realized that this guy who was omnipotent on the court was just a 20-year-old boy.
Chen Yan's tears were filled with regret and reluctance. He scored 52 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists in the game, but the Chinese team still failed to reach the finals.
"Chen Yan, don't cry, come again at the next Olympics!"
"Chen Yan has tried his best. I really don't blame him for losing tonight."
"Chen Yan's personal performance, which is more outstanding than the waist disc, still cannot lead the Chinese team to win!"
"Basketball is always a team sport. Come on, Chinese Men's Basketball Team, it will be better in the future!"
The fans at the scene gave the warmest cheers and applause. Although they lost the game, this Chinese men's basketball team is the pride of all Chinese fans.
In an interview after the game, Chen Yan quickly adjusted his mood.
Facing the camera, Chen Yan said firmly: "Although we lost this game, our journey is not over yet. In the next third or fourth place finals, we will fight for medals, fight for honor, and fight for the fans who support us."
