Chapter 354 Get Quadruple Doubles?
Argentina served from the sideline of the front court, and there were 8 seconds left in the attack time.
Scola serves, Sanchez withdraws to receive the ball and passes it to Ginobili on the left.
Ginobili catches the ball and breaks through Zhang Jinsong. At this time, Li Nan, who is in a high position, makes up for it, but he makes a kick and passes Li Nan for some reason.
When Li Nan defended, Li Ba moved from the basket to the wing.
Yi Jianlian on the right wing shrank towards the basket.
As soon as Ginobili broke through Li Nan, Li Ba was already one step away from him, so he immediately chose to pass the ball, otherwise Li Nan would turn around and complete a double-team.
Ginobili jumped up and made a hand shot, but actually twisted his waist and passed the ball to the right wing in the air.
With a cross pass, the basketball flew to Scola, who was emptied by Yi Jianlian on the right wing.
The weak side instantly changed to the ball side, but the Chinese team's zone defense was still on the left side, and the defense was completely penetrated by this pass.
Yi Jianlian saw the cross and immediately returned to defend Scola, but it was too late. The latter made a jumper and hit a two-pointer from far.
66:52, Argentina trailed by 14 points.
"There is no way, the power forward pulls to the wing to shoot, and then conducts a wide range of ball transfers, and the defense can't keep up." Yu Jia said.
"It's still Ginobili's breakthrough ability that is too strong. He broke Zhang Jinsong and Li Ba's two layers of defense, forcing the Hammer to go out, and then Yi Jianlian shrunk the penalty area and emptied Scola." Zhang Lili said.
China attacked, Yi Jianlian made a high pick-and-roll, Liu Wei broke through the penalty area, compressed Argentina's defense, and then passed to Li Ba, further compressing its defense.
At this time, Yi Jianlian went down, received a pass from Li Ba, shot near the basket, and hit a two-pointer.
68:52, China leads by 16 points.
Argentina attacked.
It is still a large-scale ball transfer on the left and right sides, tearing apart the Chinese team's defensive system, and then making an open shot.
This is still Scola's far two-point shot.
Yi Jianlian's return to defense was still a step slower.
"boom!"
But this time I missed.
Due to tactical reasons in Argentina, only Volkoski was under the basket. Li Ba easily grabbed the rebound and then launched a fast break.
Ginobili broke through to the flank and was unable to return to the defense quickly. Only Sanchez returned to the defense alone. Liu Wei and Zhang Jinsong made a two-for-one, and the latter scored a layup.
70:52, China leads by 18 points.
"Any tactic has advantages and disadvantages. See if you can see that Argentina's low-post players pull out the play, which further weakens the control of the penalty area and the rebound. Once the shot is missed, the rebound is completely out of control. Although the Chinese team It is impossible to crack this tactic, but after controlling the rebounds, we can hit the success rate and play steadily. People like Scola, he is not a superstar who scores like Kobe and Tracy McGrady. As long as we have rebounds, we can still score. He It doesn't matter if you hit a few balls." Zhang Lili said.
"That's right, if this fight continues, there will be one of him and two of us." Yu Jia laughed.
"Argentina should be very effective in beating others like this, but we have a hammer and our rebounding ability is too strong. We have gained a lot of ball possession through the control of the rebound. The points lost due to this ball possession have exceeded this. This style of play has brought Argentina points, so now the point difference is gradually widening." Da Liu Jie said.
In the next 5 minutes, Scola made 4 consecutive shots and hit 2 of them. Ginobili made 1 of 1 and 3 of 5, but the score was widening.
Li Ba completely controlled the penalty area on both ends of the offense and defense. After grabbing the defensive rebound, he quickly went down, and after grabbing the offensive rebound, he made a second attack with a very high success rate.
Argentina took 5 shots during this period, but the Chinese team relied on rebounds, took 8 shots and hit 5 goals.
80:58, in the 6th minute of the fourth quarter, the Chinese team led by 22 points, and the Argentine team's situation was over.
After resisting the last wave of Argentina's offensive, 88:68, the Chinese team beat the Argentine team by 20 points, won the third group match of Group A, and had already qualified.
To qualify for the group, the lowest is eighth, which means that the Chinese men's basketball team has completed the set goal and entered the quarterfinals.
In the fourth quarter, Li Ba made 1 of 1 shots and 1 of 1 free throws, scoring 3 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists.
Playing 36 minutes, he made 7 of 7 shots and 6 of 10 free throws. He scored 20 points, 22 rebounds, 12 assists, 1 steal and 3 blocks.
"Yeah, congratulations to the Chinese men's basketball team, you have reached the top eight in the world for the second time!" Yu Jia shouted excitedly.
"This game, how should I put it, the Hammers brought his deterrence in the NBA paint zone to the international arena, especially the impact of Ginobili, who has played the playoff series with him, on him. More serious. In the whole game, Ginobili didn't once rush into the penalty area guarded by the Hammer. This is the influence. Such a powerful breakthrough ability is useless once, what a pity!"
Zhang Reasonable said.
"This is also understandable. The Spurs and Parker, the two of them took turns to break through the penalty area of the Hammers, and they were also eliminated? Now he is alone, let alone dare to break through." Yu Jia laughed.
"A Ginobili who doesn't dare to break into the penalty area, his role may not be half of it? Look at how strong his ability is when the Hammer is not on the court for the first three minutes of the second quarter? He made us even slag. It’s all gone, that’s the real Ginobili.” Zhang Lili said.
"In those three minutes, he played well, and our inside line couldn't stand it at all." Da Liu said.
At this time, the bench of the Chinese team was full of jubilation.
"Yuanwei, keep up the good work!"
After the bench, Yuan Weimin held Li Yuanwei's hand and said.
"Director Yuan?"
Isn't it the top eight? Li Yuan was stunned, do you also want the top three?
"On behalf of the Beijing Olympic Organizing Committee and the General Administration, I congratulate your teams for qualifying and look forward to your historic breakthrough!"
Glancing at Li Ba who was celebrating with his teammates, Yuan Weimin shook Li Yuanwei's hand and said solemnly.
"Yes, we promise to go all out!" Li Yuanwei immediately shouted with his heart trembling.
On August 20, the women's basketball team lost to New Zealand again in the group stage and achieved 1 win and 3 losses in the group stage, with a weak prospect of qualifying.
On the afternoon of August 21, at 85:62, the Chinese team beat Italy, the fourth opponent in the group stage, and won four consecutive victories.
Li Ba clocked in three quarters, played 30 minutes, made 3 of 3 shots, 5 of 8 free throws, scored 11 points, 18 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals, 3 blocks, 1 turnover and 1 foul.
In the evening, the men's and women's basketball teams got together to watch Team USA's fourth group game.
90:94, the U.S. team lost to Lithuania by 4 points. The group stage results of 2 wins and 2 losses completely discredited the Dream Six team.
"Look at the rookies on the front line of the US team. They have to hold the ball ten times and rush into the penalty area at least seven times. If I meet them in the knockout round, I will get ten blocks and ten steals!"
After watching the game, in front of the women's basketball team, Li Ba Niupi yelled loudly.
"Tie Hammer, you must mean what you say!" Li Yuanwei stood up and said.
Now he is no longer afraid of Li Ba's bragging. The general manager has added a burden to him, and the pressure is great. He wishes Li Ba could be stronger.
"Bang bang!"
Li Ba patted his chest twice, and said: "Fight against the U.S. team, if Liu and his team can play quickly, I can still get ten assists and strive for a quadruple-double in the Olympics."
"You want to get a quadruple-double. See if you can see that the women's basketball girls are all here. Which one do you like? I'll match you up." Li Yuanwei made a final decision.
"Clack!"
The members of the women's basketball team laughed together.
"Yelly?"
Li Ba looked at one of them.
Ye Li was startled, and looked at Dayao.
"You bastard, I'll kill you!"
Dayao got up suddenly, clenched his fists, and yelled at Li Ba.
"Ha ha!"
Li Ba and everyone fell down laughing instantly.
