The invincible kryptonite of basketball

"Do you know that if you count small points, if the Cameroon team loses to the Chinese team by more than 10 points at night, they will advance?"

the reporter asked.

"No, I don't know, we don't count small scores, we only look at big scores."

Embiid is also quite confident.

The only possibility for Cameroon to be eliminated is to lose more than 10 points to the Chinese team. If they win, they will definitely advance, which is why he said to look at the big score.

"Then what do you think is the advantage of the Cameroon team?"

The reporter asked.

"Inside, Pascal and I both have advantages in matchups, and we will make good use of this."

Embiid also has no reservations, and in fact there is nothing to reserve.

The strongest inside team in the World Cup is against one of the weakest. This advantage can be seen by individuals.

In the afternoon, the match between the Greek team and the Argentine team took the lead in the afternoon.

For these two teams, this is also a battle of life and death for both sides.

The Greek team still has a glimmer of life if they win, while the Argentine team will enter the quarterfinals as long as they win.

Neither the Chinese team nor the Cameroon team came to the scene, because it is basically impossible to play against each other afterwards, and they are more adjusting their mentality before the game.

However, on the hotline, Chinese fans paid unprecedented attention to this game.

Very simple, if the Greek team can win against the Argentine team, and the winning score is between 5 and 35 points, then the Chinese team will directly enter the top 8.

After the game started, the number of Greek fans on the hotline skyrocketed.

The game was also extremely intense.

The Argentine team still played their freehand basketball, attacking the ground with mercury.

However, the Greek team seems to have regained the outside touch since the last game, and the combination of inside and outside play is not a disadvantage.

The two teams fought until the end of the fourth quarter.

With 1 minute left before the end of the game, the Greek team even tied the score at 86.

But at the most critical moment, the 39-year-old veteran of the Argentine team Scola showed off. He hit two three-pointers against Borosis and Antetokounmpo.

These two three-pointers also allowed Argentina to defeat Greece 92-88 and advance to the quarter-finals ahead of schedule.

After the game, Ginobili, who came to watch the game from the sidelines, excitedly ran onto the field and hugged Scola, who also reached out and touched Ginobili's head excitedly.

Only Argentina was still fighting in the golden generation of Argentina, but he successfully brought this Argentine team into the quarter-finals of the World Cup.

The fans on the hotline are extremely regretful.

The Greek brothers are unreliable, and now they can only rely on the Chinese team themselves.

The first thousand 330 eight chapters win, or go home

In Wukesong that night, the enthusiasm of the fans was unprecedentedly strong.

Many basketball players also came to the scene, including film and television stars such as lyf and wyf.

Spurs owner ccx also came to the scene.

Even the fans saw the twin stars of the Liaoning team in the stands. Guo Ailun and Zhao Jiwei, who had been cut before, also came to the scene to cheer for the Chinese team.

In the life-and-death battle of the men's basketball team, everyone present has become the strongest backing of the Chinese team.

The players of the two teams are also sitting in the locker room for the final preparations.

Tang Tian replaced Li Chunjiang for the pre-match mobilization this time.

"I've had a lot of moments in the NBA, Game 2011 of the 2015 Finals, Game [-] of the [-] Finals, Game [-] of the Lakers this year.

Those moments all have one thing in common for me, win, or go home.

But none of those moments meant as much to me as tonight, as this moment.

Because I won those, I can win the NBA championship, I am accumulating honors for myself and the team.

But tonight, I represent the country and the five-star red flag on my chest.

Not only for myself, but also for the fans behind me, and for our great motherland!

We will win and I promise we all will give our all and we will win and reach the quarter-finals of the World Cup.

I promise! "

Tang Tian's pre-match mobilization was not long, but every sentence was inspiring.

The players were even more shocked by his national feelings.

Wearing the jersey of the Chinese team is to fight for the country. As Tang Tian said, there is nothing more worthy of going all out than this.

After Tang Tian finished speaking, he stretched out his hand to call on all the players to raise their hands, and then shouted the slogan of the national team.

"Chinese team!"

"come on!"

This slogan is more inspiring to the players of the men's basketball team than ever before.

After finishing the pre-match mobilization, Li Chunjiang led the players from the player tunnel to the arena.

When they appeared, there was overwhelming cheers at the scene.

This is the most frenzied moment for fans.

The team members felt it, and the confidence in their eyes became stronger.

After the warm-up, the players of the two teams were introduced one after another.

When Tang Tian finished his head-to-head killing and the national anthem sounded, the entire arena and even the entire city echoed with proud singing.

This is the charm of the host country, China.

The game started immediately, and the two teams started to play one after another.

For the Cameroon team, the starting lineup sent by coach Fabrice was the same as in the previous game.

They have won five consecutive victories since the start of the game, and there is no reason to adjust.

Aziz and Christian on the outside, Mbah a Moute and Siakam on the striker, and Embiid at the center.

The Chinese team used the starting lineup from the previous game, with Fang Shuo and Ding Yanyuhang on the outside, Tang Tian and Yi Jianlian on the front line, and Shen Zijie at the center.

The game started immediately, and the two teams also started to appear on the stage one after another, greeting each other.

Tang Tian and Siakam are former teammates, and Embiid is an old opponent, and they are tacit to each other.

Yi Jianlian and Embiid's jump ball.

Amidst the cheers of the fans, Yi Jianlian turned the ball back to the Chinese team's half, officially kicking off the prelude to this life-and-death battle.

Tang Tian advanced to the frontcourt with the ball, and the main defense in front of him was Mbah a Moute.

Mbah a Moute is known for his defense, but he is 33 years old this year.

Tang Tian changed directions continuously, but before he could break through, Siakam double-teamed him ahead of time.

As a former teammate, he is obviously familiar with Tang Tian's technical characteristics.

Tang Tian plunged into the encirclement circle of two people, and then gave a through ball to Yi Jianlian.

Embiid's assisted defense, Yi Jianlian chose a dry fadeaway jumper.

"Shh!"

The ball flew over Embiid's head and landed firmly in the basket.

The cheers on the scene exploded, and the Chinese team showed an excellent competitive state at the beginning!

But looking back, Embiid asked for the ball in a low post, and after a back hit was double-teamed, he gave it to Siakam. The latter caught the ball and jumped up to score with one hand.

Although it is the first time for both of them to represent Cameroon in the World Cup, their personal strength lies there, and they have already established a tacit understanding after so many games.

Tang Tian rushed forward again, but this time Siakam's defense was not firm enough, so Tang Tian stopped immediately.

"Shh!"

The ball is also scored.

But in the next round, when Embiid was singles in the low post again, Yi Jianlian also hesitated to double-team, and he directly smashed Shen Zijie to wipe the board and scored the ball.

Both teams scored in the opening game. As the fans expected, the Cameroon team could not defend against Tang Tian, ​​and the Chinese team could not limit the Cameroon team's inside line.

The game set the tone for the confrontation battle at the beginning.

Nine minutes into the first quarter, the score was 9 to 22, and the Chinese team took the lead.

The two sides have entered the rotation one after another, and the game has also entered the transition stage of the substitute.

Cameroon's substitute strength is weak, for the Chinese team, this is the best opportunity to open the score.

Siakam led the Cameroon team, and Ding Yanyuhang led the Chinese team.

However, Ding Yanyuhang's touch was still as cold as in the previous game. When the main players came back, the Chinese team fell behind Cameroon by 28 points 32-4.

After the main force came back, there was another battle between the two sides inside and outside.

After halftime, the two teams tied at 44.

Tang Tian scored 16 points at halftime, and Embiid also scored 14 points and 7 rebounds.

No matter from the team or the individual, the two sides played evenly.

In the second half, Li Chunjiang took the initiative to seek a change, and set up the lineup he had in the last game against Greece, letting Tang Tian play the first position to attack, and the others to defend.

Tang Tian's firepower was fully fired, and the Cameroon team couldn't stop the outside line at all.

But in turn, the Chinese team's defensive lineup still has nothing to do with Embiid and Siakam.

Li Chunjiang once changed the defense to a 2-3 zone defense, but Cameroon's outside line seized the opportunity and made three-pointers.

The Cameroon team has not lost a game since the start of the World Cup, and it really relies on hard power.

Tang Tian scored another 14 points in this quarter. He has already scored 30 points in three quarters, setting a new record high for himself in this World Cup.

But Embiid also scored 20 points and 11 rebounds, plus Siakam's 14 points.

After three quarters, the Chinese team only led the Cameroon team by 66 point 65-1.

In this win or go home game, both teams encountered the most difficult opponents and played the most anxious situation.

"If Zhou Qi was here, our inside defense would be much better, and the score would not be as tight as it is now."

In the commentary seat, Su Qun, who was nervous and had no time to drink water, said in a slightly hoarse voice.

What didn't come was better, and this law seems to be followed by everyone.

However, his analysis was correct. Zhou Qi's defense was a notch higher than Wang Zhelin and Shen Zijie's, and even better than Yi Jianlian.

"Now we will see who can open the score in the last quarter."

At this time, Zhang Weiping no longer had the relaxed expression he had in the previous competition.

Because if the Chinese team wants to win, it not only needs to win, but also needs to win by more than 10 points.

In the fourth quarter, the two sides still fought fiercely, and the score was 5 to 76 at 74 minutes.

Li Chunjiang was a little anxious. After Embiid scored another goal to tie the score, he stretched out his hand and called a timeout.

The fans at the scene were also restless. If this stalemate continues, the less time there will be, the more unfavorable it will be for the Chinese team.

At this moment, Tang Tian looked up at the time and score.

For the first time since the start of the World Cup, is he going to use a death assist?
