Chapter 788 There Has Never Been a Miracle

When the semifinals ended, all Wukesong fans stood up and applauded and cheered for the Argentine men's basketball team.At the same time, the on-site director's camera showed Ginobili and Kobe who were watching the game from the sidelines. The two stood up and applauded the old men of the Argentine men's basketball team. This scene was really moving.

Compared with the French's eagerness to qualify for the World Cup final, the Argentine's mentality is also surprisingly good.When the reporter asked Argentine coach Hernandez how he viewed the match against the French men's basketball team before the game, he said: "As long as the game enters our rhythm, we can win. If not, then we have to back home."

Facts have proved that the Argentines found the rhythm of the game faster than the French men's basketball team, and they maintained this situation until the end.Compared with the Chinese men's basketball team defeating the Australian men's basketball team, the Argentine men's basketball team showed much stronger combat effectiveness. After all, they firmly grasped the initiative of the game, while the Chinese men's basketball team relied on An Luo's last moment. Recorded a three-pointer and narrowly beat the Australian men's basketball team to advance to the finals.

Judging from the results, what Hernandez said to reporters was actually modest on the surface.Like a magician, he always likes to attract people's thinking away from the truth, and when the answer is revealed, it surprises people.In this regard, what the players of the Argentine men's basketball team expressed before the game is even more real.

After Argentina defeated Serbia, Scola said: "Although we are not favored, we have always believed in ourselves and our goal is the world championship."

Before the start of this semi-final, Scola is still emphasizing this point.When the reporter mentioned their miraculous defeat of the Serbian men's basketball team in the last game, Scola said firmly: "What bothers me is that people have been talking about miracles, talking about surprises. No one believes in Argentina. I tell you , 22 people who have believed in us for the past two months that we will be here."

It sounds embarrassing, but in Scola's view, only the players, coaching staff and staff of the Argentine men's basketball team in the world are full of confidence in them, and only these 22 people think that their defeat of the Serbian men's basketball team is due to their strength.

In addition to Scola, Campazzo, another core player of the Argentine men's basketball team, also has the same belief.This guard, who is only 1.79 meters tall, played with ease in front of Serbian players with an average height of 2.06 meters. He scored 18 points, 12 assists and 6 rebounds.

When they finally defeated the Serbian men's basketball team, the player known as Ginobili's successor was not satisfied with defeating Serbia: "We have put everything together, and we will continue to strive for more victories. satisfy."

Of course, who can have the last laugh depends on the performance of the players in the game.But there is no doubt that the Argentine men's basketball team is more fully prepared and has shown a better state.

Throughout the entire game, the Argentine men's basketball team knew exactly what they should do to win the game.Their most successful point is to use Delia's pick-and-roll to bring Gobert out of the penalty area, allowing the inside superstar to stand in an uncomfortable position.The end result was that Gobert had nothing to do with his abilities and only scored 3 points in the entire game.The players of the French men's basketball team looked a little confused after playing.Perhaps they were so excited about defeating the US men's basketball team that they forgot their own advantages in physical talent, Gobert's powerful lethality in the penalty area, and their tactical system for defeating the US men's basketball team. They all play by instinct.

After the game started, Gobert helped the French team get the ball to attack first.After Fournier received the ball, he went straight to the basket.His speed is very fast, but the Argentine's defense is not inferior, and everyone appeared in their defensive position in the shortest time.In the end, Fournier's layup under the defense did not make the ball into the basket.Subsequently, the Argentine also responded with a goal.After Scola received Campazzo's pass and missed the inside line, it was reciprocal.

However, after this, the Argentines began to exert their strength.Scola stood up and made a good start for the Argentine men's basketball team.He first scored two plus one at the basket, and then seized the French men's basketball team's mistake and hit a fast break layup, scoring 5 points in a row.Subsequently, Fournier missed a shot from the three-point line, and Scola grabbed the rebound, a long-range pass, and assisted Campazzo to hit a three-pointer.

Next, the two sides fought back and forth.At the end of the first quarter, the Argentine men's basketball team led the French men's basketball team by 21 points at 18:3.

Back in the second quarter, after getting rid of the defender from the right, Verdoza broke through and made a layup, which started a 6-minute tug-of-war.However, the French men's basketball team has never played a very smooth team offense.Fournier's attack on the outside helped the French team bite the score, but the situation was not good for them.Sure enough, in the second half of the second quarter, the Argentine played a wave of 7:0, widening the gap.During this period of time, Scola caused two consecutive fouls on the inside and made two of four free throws. Campazzo also hit a three-pointer.

At halftime, Argentina led 39:32.

Throughout the first half of the game, the Argentine men's basketball team was always looking for opportunities to play a decisive advantage.But although the players of the French men's basketball team are scattered, their personal abilities are still very strong.Therefore, the difference between the two sides has always been controlled in single digits.However, in the third quarter, the Argentine's outside offensive points began to attack.Verdoza and Dyke made consecutive three-pointers, allowing the point difference to continue to widen.Although Fournier has been scoring, but two fists can hardly reach four hands, the French men's basketball team soon fell into a huge disadvantage.

In the last quarter of the game, the Argentine started the final decisive battle with the French with a 12-point lead.Although Fournier, Mbaye, Gobert and other players played brilliantly on both ends of the offense and defense, the Argentine men's basketball team has always maintained the point difference at around 10 points.With Scola hitting a key three-pointer, the game also lost its suspense.In the end, the Argentine men's basketball team had the last laugh. They defeated the French men's basketball team 80:66.

Many people say that the basketball court is a place where miracles are made.However, the arrogance of the Argentine men's basketball team in this game and their struggle in the game are definitely not miracles.The result of this game, as Scola said after the game: "This is not a miracle. We are a better team and we should win the game."
