Basketball Dragon

Chapter 187

"The last quarter of the game has started, and Li Hai is still on the court. It seems that he is not going to rest for this game... His physical strength is still enough. He has played 50 minutes in overtime in the NBA."

"Yao Ming came up to cover, to see if Li Hai would let Yao Ming go...very determined, Howard almost pounced on him but couldn't stop Li Hai's layup, his physical fitness is better than most European and American players, which shows It’s not a matter of race, but more scientific training methods should be pursued in China.”

"I don't know if everyone has noticed, but Li Hai has changed some offensive methods and added breakthroughs."

"This is a very reasonable choice when the score is leading. Li Hai's basketball IQ is very high. In the second half of the third quarter, he found that his shooting percentage dropped and immediately made changes to further expand the score advantage."

"The audience in front of the TV, the time before the miracle is getting less and less, the Chinese team is still in the leading position, a little more than 6 minutes, if you stick to it, the Chinese team will win."

"This Chinese team is the strongest ever. Li Hai and Yao Ming are both top players in the world. The Chinese team has every chance to win medals...even higher honors."

"The U.S. team played an excellent transition attack again, and James dunked... Li Hai is about to get the ball again, and he will definitely retaliate. In this game, similar situations have occurred many times. We believe that Li Hai can do it arrive."

"Li Hai rushed in again, it was just a simple cover, this is the player's personal ability... Li Hai made the opponent's foul again, if he made these two free throws, he would be able to lead by 10 points."

"What's going on? It seems that something happened. Li Hai fell to the ground and looked very painful. It was James who was trying to block Li Hai's layup just now... The specific situation depends on the slow motion. There should be a slow motion playback. I hope Li Hai don't get hurt."

When James rushed over, Li Hai seemed to feel hit by a truck.

James didn't come against his people. The previous confrontation between the two was so strong. It's just that when he started this layup, he felt his feet go soft. His body was really at the limit, and then he was knocked over by James. , My foot sprained a bit.

The key is the ankle, the severe pain, Li Hai felt it was the same place.

When he was helped to the sidelines and took off his shoes, he could see that his ankle was already swollen.

"Tighten it up, I can continue to fight." Li Hai said firmly.

The team doctor's head was shaking like a rattle, and it was absolutely impossible to continue playing at this level. Li Hai stood without shoes, unable to exert any force at all, so he had to give up.

He returned to the court and hit a free throw with one foot to help the team extend the lead to 10 points before walking with the team doctor to the locker room.

The audience spontaneously burst into applause, the strong are always respected.

"Li Hai, don't worry, we will definitely maintain the advantage of the game until the end."

"Yes, even if the leg is broken, we must win the US team."

"Bah, Crow's Mouth, don't worry, Li Hai, no one will be hurt, and we won't waste the current situation."

The eyes of all the players in the Chinese team became extremely determined. There are only 5 minutes left. They must win the game and cannot be sorry to the brothers.

After Li Hai left, the momentum of the Chinese team rose instead of falling. Yao Ming also hit a mid-range shot immediately after returning to the court, extending the lead to 12 points.

But then James scored 5 points in a row, and Anthony also hit a three-pointer.

When Li Hai was not there, Yao Ming was immediately flanked by the US team. After scoring 4 points in a row, the US team repeatedly attacked the inside and caused two fouls. In this way, Yao Ming also fouled four times. If he commits another foul, he will be sent off.

When Yao Ming was flanked, the Chinese team showed great resilience. Zhu Fangyu, Du Feng and Wang Shipeng scored successively and fought against the US team desperately.

But the gap in strength made the Chinese team play extremely difficult in the last few minutes. The US team was also desperate, especially Wade, James and Anthony. They had vowed not to experience another failure.

In the last 30 seconds, the Chinese team still led by 1 point and had possession of the ball.

The U.S. team circled around to defend Yao Ming, but the ball couldn't pass in at all, and the attack time was slowly consumed. Wang Shipeng saw that there were only 10 seconds left in the game, so he decided to make a strong shot in singles.

Unexpectedly, Wade had sharp eyesight and quick hands at this time, and cut the ball off with a slap. The referee didn't blow his whistle, and Wade didn't call a timeout, and went straight to the frontcourt to complete the dunk.

At the last moment, the US team surpassed the Chinese team by 1 point.

The last goal of the Chinese team was completely defended by the US team. It was a pity that the Chinese team lost at 112:113.

Li Hai had already scored 50 points before he left the court, and other players tried their best after that, but the game was still lost. Both the players and the fans were a little depressed.

James also expressed his apology after the game, hoping that Li Hai can recover quickly so as not to affect the following games.

However, Li Hai's turnaround was a bit troublesome. Logically speaking, he had to cultivate quickly, but Li Hai firmly disagreed. What a joke, international competitions don't happen every year, and he didn't want to leave any regrets.

Hearing that Li Hai might not be able to participate in the next game, Chinese fans scolded James to death online.

But no official news came out. The team's spokesperson only said that Li Hai's injury needs to be observed.

Two days later, Li Hai appeared on the field with the team, but the team's starter was replaced by Wang Shipeng.

Li Hai just sat on the bench like that, and didn't officially say that he would call a truce, but when the team needed outside scoring and organization the most, Li Hai didn't play as expected.

Wang Shipeng, who replaced Li Hai, performed well, but compared with Li Hai, he was far behind.

In the absence of Li Hai, Yao Ming and Zhu Fangyu carried the banner of the Chinese team's offense. The Chinese team led most of the time, and Puerto Rico only relied on the three-pointers of Arroyo and Ayoso to support it.

But at the last critical moment, the disadvantage of the team without Li Hai was exposed. Puerto Rico continued to attack the inside line, causing Yao Mingwu, who had already scored 29 points, to commit offense.

It was Yao Ming's end that allowed the opponent to grab an offensive rebound at the last moment to tie the score and the game entered overtime.

In overtime, the Chinese team had lost confidence, and Ayoso scored two three-pointers to deliver a fatal blow and lost by three points.

This game made everyone miss Li Hai very much, and Li Hai was also very anxious. Not leaving the team for treatment is the result of his hard work. If the Chinese team can win the group stage steadily, he can rest for a few more days. If the situation is critical , He will definitely play with injuries, and some things must be moved forward even if there are risks.
