Chapter 1299
"Pay more attention to the outside line to help defend the inside line, and be quicker when returning to defense, and make more foul moves. Don't give others the opportunity to easily hit the ball in!"
With the score tight and the situation unfavorable, Li Chunjiang also became anxious.
If they lose this game, the Chinese team will stop at the top 16 and need to play qualifying matches with Iran to compete for a pass to the Olympics next year.
That is definitely not what fans want to see and accept.
After all, this Chinese team has three NBA players, and even the world's number one basketball player like Tang Tian.
Not to mention Li Chunjiang, Yao Ming in the stands was holding his chin with his hands at this time, and he was under a lot of pressure.
Reform needs motivation, and the results of the World Series are crucial.
If the men's basketball team falls here, the resistance he encounters in reform will also increase visible to the naked eye.
Tang Tian reached out to touch Li Chunjiang's head at this time, but in the end he patted him on the shoulder, signaling him not to be nervous.
Seeing the calm expression in Tang Tian's eyes, Li Chunjiang's originally nervous expression eased a little.
"Go to the offensive lineup."
He went on to say only one word.
Li Chunjiang nodded.
After more than three quarters, no matter what lineup he uses, he can't guard Embiid and Siakam inside.
Unable to defend, he simply let go of his hands and feet to attack. After all, three points from the outside line are one point more than two points.
And they need to win by more than 10 points to advance, and at this time they also need to attack to open the score.
After the timeout, the Chinese team made a large-scale substitution, Fang Shuo and Ding Yanyuhang on the outside, Tang Tian and Abdul Saramu on the striker, and Yi Jianlian at the center.
This is a lineup of one big and four small.
Before Tang Tian went on the field, he called all the players together.
"Do you still remember when you played for the Canadian team? If you have a chance from the outside, you can shoot, and you will definitely score."
The teammates nodded.
During the warm-up match, they didn't know what Tang Tian's confidence was in saying this, and they don't know now either.
But in the match against the Canadian team, they did score consecutive shots like a godsend. Now that Tang Tian talked about it again, they instantly felt full of confidence.
No matter what the reason is, he can have that experience again, even if Tang Tian tells them that this is a system hack, they will believe it.
"At this time, the lineup is right, it is to fight for points."
In the commentary seat, Su Qun was nervous and excited when he saw the Chinese team put on this lineup.
This is a completely desperate lineup, if you can't be beaten to death, you will definitely be killed by you.
After a timeout, Ding Yanyuhang advanced to the frontcourt with the ball, and Tang Tian caught the ball outside the three-point line and made a shot.
"It's like this, now Tang Tian should shoot more three-pointers..."
At the commentary seat, Zhang Weiping spoke.
However, Tang Tian didn't make a shot. Instead, he made a fake shot and added three threats to send Mba Moot flying, and then he took the ball and shot in.
"It's also right to break through. Now Embiid and Siakam have fouled three times, and they can play him twice."
Zhang Weiping received the ball and said.
The Cameroon team shrunk their defense, Tang Tian did not make a strong attack, but chose to pass the ball to Abdul Salah in the corner.
"How did the ball pass..."
Zhang Weiping made a regretful sound.
He knew that the Chinese team was going to score now, but whether it was a three-pointer or a foul, Tang Tian's choice was better than passing the ball, because Tang Tian's scoring confidence was obviously the greatest at critical moments.
"Shua!"
With a crisp sound, Abdul Saramu scored a three-pointer!
"nice shot!"
Zhang Weiping, who was still a pity one second, is really delicious the next second.
He's really experienced in tone shifting.
The scene also burst into cheers.
The Chinese team really needs three-pointers now, and Abdul Saramu's three-pointer came too timely!
Embiid turned around and forced Yi Jianlian's defensive foul, making two free throws from the free throw line.
79 to 78, the Chinese team led by one point.
Tang Tian continued to break through in the frontcourt, and the Cameroon team also continued to shrink.
This time he gave the ball to Yi Jianlian at the top of the arc, and Yi Jianlian shot the ball against Christian's help defense.
The ball traced a high parabola in the air.
"Shua!"
Entered too!
The cheers erupted at the scene, and the Chinese team hit two consecutive three-pointers after returning from a timeout!
The point difference came to 4 points!
However, Siakam rushed to the basket in the frontcourt and flew to the basket. Abdul Saramu directly pulled him down in advance.
Siakam has some opinions, but this is also Li Chunjiang's request. Fouls will not give the Cameroon team a chance to play 2+1.
Siakam's free throw opportunity, he flicked his hands and made the first free throw, but he didn't make the second free throw.
Yi Jianlian grabbed the defensive rebound.
One of two free throws, Abdul Saramu's foul was worth it!
Tang Tian made another breakthrough in the frontcourt, and Cameroon began to hesitate.
This is also a reasonable thing. The Chinese team's outside shots are so accurate, it is impossible for them to remain indifferent.
But it was just this hesitation. Tang Tian broke through to the basket and scored after confronting Embiid, which also caused the latter's fourth personal foul!
"pretty!"
Zhang Weiping in the commentary seat couldn't help shouting excitedly.
This 2+1, plus the previous two three-pointers, equals to 9 points for the Chinese team in three rounds!
This scoring efficiency is simply amazing!
After returning from the timeout, the Chinese team simply changed teams.
Li Chunjiang's substitutions are simply amazing!
The cameras at the scene gave Li Chunjiang the first shot.
As a result, Li Chunjiang also looked incredible in the camera.
Obviously, he didn't know what happened to the Chinese team.
"Defend! Defend!"
But the fans didn't have time to care about Li Chunjiang's expression at this time, they were cheering for the Chinese team in unison.
Amidst the cheers, Yi Jianlian took Embiid's offense abruptly and turned around to get a defensive rebound.
Embiid thought the ball was fouled and turned to the referee for a theory.
But the referee didn't respond. At any rate, the Chinese team is the host, and the referee is definitely inclined not to call out fouls that may or may not be called.
And just when Embiid complained, the Chinese team took advantage of the situation and played a fast break.
Tang Tian dribbled the ball to the three-point line in the frontcourt. Seeing that Ding Yanyuhang was about to fall into the three-second zone, he directly chose to stop for a three-pointer.
The Chinese team needs three points to widen the point difference.
And Ding Yanyuhang has already reached the basket, even if he doesn't score, he can still get offensive rebounds.
Seeing Tang Tian fast-break and chase a three-pointer, the fans on the scene raised their breaths to their throats.
"Shua!"
With a crisp sound, their breathing instantly turned into cheers.
Tang Tian's chasing three-pointer made it!
88 to 79!
After the Chinese team came back from the timeout, all arrows were fired, and they played a wave of 12 to 3 offensive, which opened the point difference to 9 points!
Before the timeout, the anxious situation made the fans on the scene and in front of the TV feel desperate for a while.
But after returning from the timeout, the Chinese team fired all arrows and scored 3 three-pointers from the outside line. Coupled with Tang Tian's 2+1, the situation was broken in one fell swoop!
There are still two minutes before the end of the game, and the Chinese team is only two points away from advancing, and one goal!
