With 1 minute and 13 seconds left in the third quarter, Zhao Feiyang was ordered to step on the court.
The Chinese men's basketball team serves.
Zhou Peng also planned to bring the ball over, but Zhao Feiyang asked him directly for the ball.
"Go over there!"
"I'll dribble the ball!"
Snapped.
Zhou Peng gave the ball to Zhao Feiyang.
The moment he took the ball personally, all the fans on the sidelines stood up. At this time, the point difference between the two sides had widened to 12 points, and the Chinese men's basketball team and the Jordan team were tied 53 to 65.
As soon as Zhao Feiyang got the ball, Alex, the Jordanian player who was guarding him, pounced on Zhao Feiyang before he reached half court.
The two met each other, and Zhao Feiyang easily swayed the opponent with a cross step.
When he was about to continue rushing to the basket, Douglas, the core of the Jordan team, stepped up to defend again. Zhao Feiyang was not afraid, he stopped to take a shot in front of the opponent, and suddenly jumped to shoot from outside the three-point line.
Uh-huh.
A three-pointer fell steadily into the basket.
The whole crowd cheered.
The effect of Zhao Feiyang's appearance was immediate.
Soon the Jordan team counterattacked.
Alex held the ball for half the game, and Zhao Feiyang was not polite and went directly to press the defense. In the past, he had let them pass in order to save his energy without being too urgent. Now he doesn't plan to let them go anymore!
The sudden marking made Alex panic instantly.
Snapped.
The two met each other, and Zhao Feiyang slapped the basketball out of his hand.
After the steal, Zhao Feiyang rushed directly to the Jordan team's basket. Alex blocked it desperately, trying to interfere with Zhao Feiyang's shot. The two met under the basket, and Zhao Feiyang directly used a hand-off layup to avoid Alex. kes, easily threw the ball into the basket.
Uh-huh.
The ball went in again.
The difference is gradually narrowing.
The Jordanian team also became panicked because of Zhao Feiyang's seriousness.
By the time the third quarter passed and the fourth quarter started again, Zhao Feiyang had already assumed the offensive responsibility of the entire team.
While he used a three-pointer to open up the situation, he also used a dribble breakthrough to attack the Jordan team's basket, and soon tied the previous deficit.
When there were 3 minutes and 09 seconds left in the game, the Chinese men's basketball team and the Jordan team were tied 71 to 71.
As of this time, Zhao Feiyang has scored 30 points alone, accounting for almost half of the scores of the China Men's Basketball Team today. He also sent out 5 assists. It can be said that he is the team's greatest contributor.
On the field.
The Huaxia men’s basketball team continues to attack.
Guo Ailun dribbled the ball over and tried to transfer the ball to Zhao Feiyang.
Alex and Douglas were very tenacious and went up to double-team Zhao Feiyang, preventing any player from passing the ball to him.
For this reason, they did not hesitate to leave out another Chinese player.
"Fight yourself!"
"Don't give it to me!"
Zhao Feiyang kept shouting at his teammates.
In this kind of double-teaming situation, one should not pass the ball easily. Once the ball is passed, it is easy for the opponent to seize the opportunity and make a mistake.
But the teammates passed it around, and with the Jordanian team exerting physical confrontation, they couldn't find a better position for a while.
The ball still returns to the outside.
Zhao Feiyang had to speed up and run away, and also asked Ding Yanyuhang on the flank to come up to help him cover. With the help of this pick-and-roll, he finally got the ball under the guard of Alex and Douglas.
After receiving the basketball, Zhao Feiyang did not waste any more energy and jumped directly from the three-point line.
Uh-huh.
A crisp three-pointer fell firmly into the basket.
The score finally came back.
From this moment on, the Huaxia Men's Basketball Team never fell behind the Jordan Men's Basketball Team. During the remaining time between the two sides, Zhao Feiyang scored consecutively to help the Huaxia Men's Basketball Team widen the gap.
In the end, the score between the two sides was fixed at 86 to 80.
When the on-site timer stopped, the Chinese fans in the Pearl City Stadium also cheered. Countless people shouted and screamed, applauding this hard-won victory.
Most of the national team players also seemed very happy, high-fiving and hugging each other, and smiling in their words and deeds.
Only Zhao Feiyang sighed helplessly.
He briefly greeted his teammates and then walked into the player tunnel. He didn't even say hello to the fans as he passed by the players.
At the end of the game, Xin Guotao and others in the VIP box also smiled with satisfaction.
"It's okay, I finally won the game anyway!"
"This guy still has some value! If he can't win at all, then I'm afraid he should get out tomorrow..."
"We finally won a game. If we lose again this time, the fans will have nothing to do. The General Administration of Sports will not be able to explain..."
In the sports news that night, CCTV Sports also specially reported the news about this game.
Not only did he write about the victory of the Chinese men's basketball team, but he also listed Zhao Feiyang's personal data and even made a highlight of his performance on the court.
"Zhao Feiyang scored 41 points in this game, breaking his historical record in international competitions... Other players in the Huaxia Men's Basketball Team also performed well. Overall, it seems that the Huaxia Men's Basketball Team has overcome its defeat. shadow......."
"In a week's time, they will go to Spain to participate in the group stage of this World Cup..."
"We wish the Chinese Men's Basketball Team great success in advance..."
All is well.
The fans were happy for the victory, and the Basketball Association was relieved because of the victory in this game.
This is especially true for the players of the China Men's Basketball Team. After losing three consecutive games, you can imagine the pressure they are under. Now that they have finally won, even if they just get a chance to breathe, it is extremely important to them.
The only one who was unhappy was Zhao Feiyang.
The night after the game, he practiced alone in the training hall for two hours. What surprised him was that Yi Jianlian also entered the gym after the additional training began.
"Brother Lian, why are you here too?"
Zhao Feiyang stopped Yi Jianlian, who was practicing extra time, and asked curiously.
"The game is like this, I really can't sleep... I just wanted to come and practice, but I didn't expect you to be there too..."
Yi Jianlian's words also made Zhao Feiyang couldn't help but sigh.
"Brother Lian, you have played in so many international competitions. Frankly speaking, do you think a team like ours can advance to the group stage this time?"
Zhao Feiyang asked seriously.
Yi Jianlian was silent for a while before shaking his head and responding.
"Disaster."
"It's so difficult!"
"The team is now too dependent on you alone. If we continue to play like this, there will definitely be problems in the group stage..."
Zhao Feiyang was convinced.
"I have an idea, since the team's current lineup is not strong enough, why don't we change the lineup?"
"Didn't Wang Zhizhi also join the team before? If we can find a way to get him back now, wouldn't the team's strength increase? And Sun Yue, didn't he also play for the Lakers for a season? If This time they can all come, then our lineup will be more than twice as strong..."
