Chapter 843 The Demon Sword Is Immortal

During the entrance ceremony, when the Chinese team players were introduced, the cheers from the Chinese fans at the scene attracted a burst of eyebrows from other fans.

This is really tough.

After the entrance ceremony, the starting players from both sides also appeared one after another.

The Chinese team still uses a lineup with one large and four small players, with Zhao Jiwei and Tang Tian on the outside, Zhou Peng and Kolan Bek on the striker, and Yi Jianlian in the center.

The only change is that Kolan Bek, who has better defensive effect, replaced the previous Zhai Xiaochuan.

The Argentine team also has a lineup with one senior player and four small players, with Nicolas Laprovittola and Ginobili on the outside, Delfino and Nocioni on the striker, and Scola in the center.

Yi Jianlian defeated Scola in the jump, officially kicking off the Olympic quarterfinals.

The Chinese team had already figured out how to win in the previous games. Tang Tian came up to score first, just like in the group stage.

The Argentine team did not dare to let Tang Tian go, and immediately tightened the double-team.

This scene feels a bit like I know you will fight like this, but I can only guard against you like this.

Tang Tian sent a back pass from the double team and passed the ball to Kolan Bek who was in the open position.

Kolanbek shot very decisively and had a good shooting rhythm.

"Bang!"

But it's a pity that the ball didn't go in.

Yi Jianlian got an offensive rebound over Scola's head, but his tip-in shot was too big and it hit the frame.

Scola protected the defensive rebound.

In the Argentine team's offense, Ginobili hit the ball through the defense to Nocioni who was cutting through the air.

Comes from the cooperation between two old partners.

After receiving the ball, Nocioni was very powerful and flew to dunk.

Relying on his ability to cut with one hand, Nocioni played as the main starter for the Bulls and averaged 14+ points per game at his peak.

Even as he gets older, his special skills are still there, and although he is 37 years old, his playing style is still as open and wide as when he was young.

Nocioni came fiercely, but Yi Jianlian did not flinch. He stood under the basket and reached out to stop Nocioni's shot.

Nocioni was old after all, and his shot after the confrontation hit the frame, and the rebound was turned around and collected by Yi Jianlian.

The Chinese team counterattacked, and Tang Tian made another beautiful pass to Zhou Peng who followed up.

Zhou Peng's pursuit was an open three-pointer.

"Bang!"

The ball was obviously a bit too big and bounced high after hitting the back edge of the basket.

From the opening rounds, it can be seen that the Chinese team's outside touch is not good in this game.

However, unlike the opening game of the group stage, they were not nervous, but overly excited.

For most of the players on this team, this is their first chance to break into the semi-finals, and this reaction is normal.

This is obviously not good news for the Chinese team. They lost to Australia before because they were inaccurate on the outside.

Because the outside line is inaccurate, opponents can double-team Tang Tian unscrupulously, which will cause the Chinese team's scoring efficiency to plummet.

But the good news is that Argentina's offense is not in good shape either.

Ginobili's sudden score went to Delfino, the Argentine marksman, but he missed three shots due to Zhou Peng's interference.

The two teams played a few rounds at the beginning, but still failed to score a point!

There was a commotion.

The first game of the quarterfinals has a tendency to develop towards a rivalry between rookies!

But soon, there was a score on the field, and the person who completed the score was Tang Tian.

When he noticed that his teammates were overly excited and had poor touch, he chose to attack with the ball himself.

He accelerated into the paint, fought with Scola and then sent the ball into the basket.

After Oberto retired, the Argentine team's inside line was only supported by the aging Scola. This was also a breakthrough for the Chinese team.

Moreover, the aging of the Argentina team is too serious. Four of the five starters have 30+ points and three have 35+ points. They have the awareness of double-teaming, but their speed will be much different.

In the Argentine team's offense, Scola mentioned high-post play, and Nocioni and Ginobili went back and forth.

The Chinese team tightened its defense at Tang Tian's signal.

Scola passed the ball to Laprovitola, who faked a shot from the outside and broke into the inside for a layup.

The ball was completed well, but the moment he took the shot, Yi Jianlian squeezed away Scola, and a help-defending block sent the ball flying out of the court.

Laprovitola tried to save the ball but failed. The ball hit his hand and went out of bounds. The Chinese team had the ball!

The scene was filled with cheers from Chinese fans.

The Chinese team's defense after the opening was a bit good!

Tang Tian's offense once again reached the inside. This time Nocioni's help defense was in place, but Tang Tian's waist was good, and the reverse layup after dodging in the air was still up!

The Chinese fans at the scene burst into cheers.

The Chinese team has Tang Tian in offense and Yi Jianlian in defense. Although the outside touch is not good, it still has the upper hand, and it looks like a new and powerful performance.

On the other hand, the Argentine team is old and waning.

The winner seemed to be decided after the opening game.

Fortunately, the Argentina team was well grouped before. If they were in Group A, it would be extremely difficult to qualify.

Delfino's second three-point shot still failed, and Yi Jianlian collected another defensive rebound.

Tang Tian got rid of Delfino during the fast break and pushed the ball into the basket.

6 to 0!

Fans of the Chinese team have already seen the Chinese team advance to the semi-finals.

But at this moment, Ginobili broke through Tang Tian in a snake shape, and after the confrontation, he hit 2+1 on Tang Tian!

Argentina's strongest point is Ginobili, Tang Tian explained it at the beginning, and he was also responsible for the defense himself.

Durant couldn't defeat Tang Tian, ​​and Ginobili had no chance in theory.

But things are somewhat different from expectations. Although Ginobili is not as capable as Durant now, he has too much experience.

And he and Tang Tian were teammates on the Spurs for two years.

Tang Tian started out as a defender during his time with the Spurs, and Ginobili also knows his defensive habits quite well. This 2+1 was definitely not luck.

Tang Tian glanced at Ginobili and couldn't help but think of what Ginobili said last night.

It seems that although he was prepared, he still underestimated Ginobili's fighting spirit.

This 38-year-old guy really wants to win.

He shook his arm and took the next ball. Even if Ginobili was familiar with him, he would not give it another chance.

Ginobili's extra free throw hit, and the score was 3-6.

This goal is crucial for Argentina.

Tang Tian's breakthrough, this time the Argentine team's contraction was very complete, Tang Tian passed the ball to Yi Jianlian at the top of the arc.

Yi Jianlian's three-point shot bounced on the rim and was about to go in, but Kolanbek was too aggressive and jumped up to hit the ball and was called for offensive interference.

Looking back, Ginobili took advantage of Scola's high pick-and-roll and made an emergency three-pointer in the pick-and-roll.

This choice is very unconventional, and it is a rhythm that ordinary people cannot play.

"Uh-huh!"

But with a crisp sound, the ball was still thrown in by Ginobili!

6 to 6!

Ginobili personally launched a wave of 6-0 attacks! Tied the score!

The demon sword never grows old!
