The invincible kryptonite of basketball

More than 8 minutes into the third quarter, the score on the field was 73 to 58.

The Chinese team has extended its lead to 15 points, and Tang Tian scored 15 points in a single quarter.

At this time, there were substitutions on both sides, Antetokounmpo and Tang Tian were both replaced for a rest.

After Antetokounmpo sat on the sidelines, he looked up at the score on the scoreboard, and couldn't help shaking his head helplessly.

In the fiba game, they were 15 points behind in three quarters. Unless the Greek team can hit a counterattack wave at the beginning of the fourth quarter, there is no suspense about the outcome.

In the last minute or so, the Greek team performed well, playing a wave of 4-1 offensive, chasing the point difference to 12 points.

This also gave Brother Antetokounmpo a glimmer of hope again.

After a short intermission, players from both sides returned to the field one after another.

Antetokounmpo sat back on the bench to rest after listening to the tactical arrangement.

After he sat down, he instinctively turned his head to look at the Chinese team.

That is to say, just looking at it, he stood there with his mouth wide open.

The Chinese team's opening lineup for the fourth quarter included Tang Tian!

Tang Tian took a 1-minute break off the court and then went on!

Senassis saw it too, but he hesitated for a while and still didn't let Antetokounmpo go.

Although a FIBA ​​game lasts only 10 minutes, there is no fierce internal confrontation within three seconds, and Antetokounmpo will suffer if it is too early.

In the fourth quarter, both sides came back.

On the Greek team, Slokas and Larentzakis on the outside, Papanikolaou and Antetokounmpo on the striker, and Papaiannis at the center.

For the Chinese team, Tang Tian and Wu Qian were on the outside, Kelan Baike and Ren Junfei were on the front line, and Wang Zhelin was the center.

Come up to the Chinese team's ball rights.

Tang Tian held the ball in the front court to face a double team, and after breaking through, he encountered a three-man pocket formation.

He tricked the defender behind him with a passing feint, and then turned around and fell back.

The ball was fired into the basket against Papanikolaou's hand.

"Shh!"

The ball goes in!

Although he only rested for more than a minute off the court, for Tang Tian, ​​who played the entire game in the NBA, his physical fitness was not a problem at all.

In a wave of offense in the frontcourt of the Greek team, Papa Giannis stormed the basket and was interfered by Kolan Bek's defense.

Although there is a gap between his personal ability and others, Kolanbek's enthusiasm is very high, which plays a huge role on the defensive end.

Wang Zhelin got stuck in the position this time and protected the defensive rebound with his short hand.

Looking back, it was still Tang Tian. The emergency stop shot in the double team caused a foul by the Greek team's thugs.

His shooting is so accurate that the Greek team players can't interfere with it if they don't throw it, but they can't get it back when they throw it.

Tang Tian made two free throws.

The point difference was back to 16 points in an instant!

Brother Antetokounmpo watched from the sidelines, then shook his head subconsciously, and finally looked at Tang Tian who was retreating unconsciously.

This scene was also captured by reporters on the sidelines.

Antetokounmpo made a tip-up over Wang Zhelin's head in the frontcourt, finally breaking the scoring drought for the Greek team.

But in the next round, after Tang Tian made a breakthrough, he passed the ball to Wu Qian in the bottom corner.

The point difference has come to 17 points.

Senassis was forced to call a timeout.

Back from the timeout, Antetokounmpo returned to the field.

He performed bravely during this period, grabbing the frontcourt several times and scoring a second offense.

But the Greek team still had little to do with Tang Tian on the defensive end.

The difference between the two sides has been fluctuating around 15 points.

until the last 5 minutes.

The Chinese team suddenly ran away from the outside, and even Zhai Xiaochuan scored three points from the outside.

The Chinese team directly pulled the score to 20 points, and the game lost suspense.

Because it may enter the scoring link, Li Chunjiang also let the main force fight to the end.

In the end, relying on Tang Tian's outstanding performance in the third quarter and the rampage in the last 5 minutes of the fourth quarter, the Chinese team beat the Greek team 100-75 and won their first victory in the rematch.

Antetokounmpo scored 21 points and 7 rebounds for the Greek team, and the Greek team's 11 three-pointers failed to help them win the game.

Five players from the Chinese team scored in double figures. Tang Tian scored a game-high 5 points and sent out 25 assists, playing a dominant performance.

After winning this game, the Chinese team's record came to 4 wins and 1 loss, with 9 points, temporarily ranking third in Group I.

Who can appear at the end of Group I depends on the situation on the last match day.

The Group of Death lives up to its name.

Of course, the fans put the promotion situation aside after the game, and celebrated the victory on Weibo and forums.

"Brother Antetokounmpo stares at Tang Tian.jpg: Is this the future you're talking about?"

"This picture really made me laugh. Brother Antetokounmpo must have ten thousand words that MMP wants to say."

"Brother Antetokounmpo: After you retired in the NBA, I didn't expect to meet you in Fiba!"

"Today we have to blow up the Chinese team, from Fang Chaoju's opening three consecutive shots, to the UAE's one-fingering inside line, to Li Chunjiang's formation, Tang Tian's invincible, everything is done Perfect."

"With such a Chinese team, who would dare to say that they have no strength to fight against the US team?"

"That's right, we all won against the US team in Rio, and now we're counseling if we don't fight? Some people can't stand up after kneeling for a long time!"

"That's right, the U.S. lineup was not bad in Rio. Anthony and Durant were there, as well as Irving and Cousins. It's not much worse than this year!"

"By the way, it would be very interesting if the two teams really met. Xiaoshuai: I want to play against the team owner? If I play well, will I be transferred from the office to the assembly line?"

"Don't worry, Xiaoshuai will definitely go all out. Although he went to the Pelicans, he still wants to win against Tang Tian in his dreams. This is his last chance."

"Come on, come on! I can't wait! The Chinese team will win Cameroon tomorrow, make it all the way to the finals, and fight against the American team Sanbaihe!"

……

The first thousand and 330 chapters and seven familiar points

After two days of rest, the rematch ushered in the final round.

As before, this round of competition is divided into two days, and the games of Group I and Group J will start first.

The Chinese team will also usher in a match against Cameroon at 7 pm.

Sitting on Embiid and Siakam, Cameroon has the strongest inside strength in this World Cup and has not lost a single game so far.

The inside line of the Chinese team is weak visible to the naked eye.

For the Chinese team, this will also be the most difficult game they have encountered since the start of the World Cup.

Moreover, the final round of the competition, how to qualify for the group stage has become the most concerned issue of the outside world.

The Chinese team is currently ranked third in the group with 9 points. Whether they can make it to the quarter-finals depends on the game between Greece and Argentina in the afternoon.

There are a number of hypothetical situations that will emerge here.

Situation [-]: The Greek team wins the Argentine team, and the Chinese team loses to the Cameroon team.

In this case, Cameroon has 6 wins, 0 losses and 12 points to qualify. Greece, Argentina, and China all have 4 wins and 2 losses, depending on the point difference.

This is also the most familiar scoring link for Chinese football fans.

The so-called net difference is the sum of the difference between a team and the other two teams.

Take the Chinese team as an example. They lost to Argentina by 15 points and then won by 25 points from Greece. The net difference is +10 points.

So based on this established fact, the Greek team's previous point difference was -25, and they had to beat Argentina by 36 points to get a +11 point difference to advance.

For Argentina, their previous point difference was +15, and they must control the loss to 4 points in order to get a +11 point difference to advance.

Situation [-]: The Greek team loses to the Argentine team, and the Chinese team loses to the Cameroon team.

In this case, the Cameroon team still has 12 points to qualify first in the group.

The Greek team was directly eliminated with 3 wins, 3 losses and 9 points.

The rest of the Argentine team and the Chinese team both accumulated 10 points, but because the Argentine team had won the Chinese team before, the Argentine team advanced and the Chinese team was eliminated.

Situation [-]: The Greek team wins the Argentine team, and the Chinese team wins the Cameroon team.

The Chinese team and the Cameroon team have 5 wins and 1 loss, with 11 points to advance together. The Chinese team is first in the group and the Cameroon team is second in the group.

The Greek team and the Argentine team had 4 wins and 2 losses, and both were eliminated with 10 points.

Situation [-]: The Greek team lost to the Argentine team, and the Chinese team won to the Cameroon team.

This is also the most complicated situation.

First of all, the Greek team was directly eliminated with 3 wins and 3 losses, and the point difference in this game will not affect the subsequent score calculation.

The records of China, Cameroon and Argentina are all 5 wins and 1 loss, and they need to be counted as in the second case.

The Chinese team currently has -15, Cameroon +5, and Argentina +10.

The Chinese team is the most unfavorable situation among the three teams.

They need to beat Cameroon by at least 10 points to advance, and they need to win by at least 25 points to become the first in Group I.

The four situations, for the Chinese team, can be summed up.

If the Chinese team loses to Cameroon or wins less than 10 points, it depends on the opponent's face;

If you beat Cameroon by more than 10 points, you will definitely advance.

The absence of Tang Tian caused the Chinese team to lose to the Argentine team by as much as 15 points. This small point has been brought to the final battle.

This also put enormous pressure and challenges on the Chinese team.

However, during the training session in the morning, all the players from the coaching staff to Tang Tian to the Chinese team showed enough confidence.

Yao Ming, chairman of the Chinese Basketball Association, also appeared at the team's training ground.

He was also interviewed by reporters on the sidelines.

"Do you know how the Chinese team counts points to win?"

Now there are various postings on the forum and various topics on Weibo, and this question was naturally thrown to him by the reporter.

"I'm not good at math, but I know that if I win the game, I will have the initiative."

Yao Ming shook his head.

"Then do you think the Chinese team can win?"

reporters asked.

"of course."

Yao Ming's answer is also very simple.

After the training of the Chinese team, the Cameroon men's basketball team also came back to the field.

When the two teams met, Tang Tian stopped to communicate with Siakam for a while.

The reporters also watched the training of the Cameroon men's basketball team.

They basically attack inside and shoot outside, which is also consistent with their previous game style.

After training, Embiid was interviewed by reporters on the sidelines.

The reporter also threw the same question to Embiid.
