Healing Basketball

   Chapter 1016 1016. The demon knife that fell into the ditch

  Ginobili is confident that the ball can be scored. The rhythm of his retreat and the feeling of throwing are perfect.

  But Sun Yue predicted Ginobili's idea and completed the big hat!

  Sun Yue grabbed the ball by himself, pushed forward quickly, and rushed to the front court to look back at the moon-looking lob.

  Following up, Liu Xiu jumped high, held the ball in the air, and smashed it into the basket!

  Some of the onlookers, Kejan Baowei and others, were swearing, while others were laughing.

   This made the most confident Ginobili turn pale.

   In the last 2.6 seconds of the second quarter, the Argentine team missed a three-pointer. After halftime, 53 to 48, the Chinese team's lead expanded to 5 points!

   Entering the intermission, on the way back to the locker room, Argentine coach Sergio Hernandez comforted and encouraged Ginobili.

  Since you believe in Ginobili, you have to always believe.

  Many years later, when Ginobili retired, Popovich commented that at the age of 41, he was still immature, as naive as he was when he stepped on the NBA court for the first time 16 years ago, and he always felt that he could do it.

   It is precisely because of this that the 41-year-old Yaodao is still one of the most terrifying players on the bench.

  Feel terrible, it may be an opponent, or a teammate...

Popovich has always trusted Ginobili, and Parker once joked that he has been jealous of Ginobili... Most people think that Parker is joking and telling the truth, because it was Parker himself who added the sentence after saying "jealousy" Haha I'm kidding'.

  Although Ginobili's overconfidence hurt the team this time, Hernandez still trusted him.

  And this damage is actually only two points. If you count the "deserved" 3 points, you will lose 5 points.

   Just chase after it!

   After returning from the intermission, the Argentine team took the lead in launching a fierce attack.

   Taking advantage of Yao Ming's rest, Ginobili scored 6 points and 1 assist. Scola scored 2+1 for that assist!

  Mengba's laughing sound stimulated Yaodao!

   Ginobili understood why the head coach kept emphasizing 'patience' in the second quarter, and he was waiting for this moment.

   It’s just that the next time he encounters the same situation, he will still choose to ‘believe in himself’ with a high probability.

  Because he is a demon sword.

  After a wave of 9 to 5 shock, the Argentine team narrowed the point difference to 1 point, the score was 57 to 58, and the Chinese team called a timeout!

Silver Fox didn't panic. In the third quarter, the Argentine team took the lead and scored goals in 4 rounds. It was very fierce, but in fact they only played 3 offenses and scored 2 offenses. Du Feng caught Wang Zhizhi's goal once. After eating cake, Liu Xiu stepped back and hit a three-pointer.

  Silver Fox continued to let Yao Ming rest. He only played for a few minutes in the second half. Yao Ming had already played for 17 minutes in the first half. The best playing time in the second half is about 13 minutes to ensure his state. The playing time should be less than more.

  Wang Shipeng, Sun Yue, and Du Feng were replaced, Li Nan, Zhu Fangyu, and Yi Jianlian were replaced, and Liu Xiu and Wang Zhizhi continued to play.

   On Hernandez's side, the two major pitchers Farabello and Nocioni were replaced, Scola continued to play at the inside pin point, and Gabriel Fernandez was replaced at the center position.

  The same name is Fernandez, the Spanish team is a swingman with excellent athletic ability and shooting, and the Argentine team is a center with excellent frame protection.

   After a timeout, the game continued, and the Chinese team served in the frontcourt.

  Fernandez called on his teammates to defend, and they wanted to overtake the score in one fell swoop!

  Liu Xiu received the ball and broke through, attracted a pinch, and split the ball... Zhu Fangyu just ran around the pile to the left sideline, then received a pass from Liu Xiu, turned around, took off, and faced Scola for a three-point shot...hit!

  The point difference came to 4 points!

   Immediately afterwards, Ginobili broke through the tie rod and hit a layup, reducing the point difference to two points again.

When the Chinese team attacked, Ginobili extended the three-point line to defend Liu Xiu's long shot. Liu Xiu made a breakthrough, Zhu Fangyu was also heavily defended, and the Argentine team had to protect the frame. Li Nan was empty after covering for Zhu Fangyu. Arriving, Li Nan catches the ball and shoots a three-pointer... also scores!

  Liu Xiu actually triggered the 'splash' this time, but he didn't have a chance to use it or had a higher probability of making it. He chose to play team offense.

   The score difference came to 5 points again. Ginobili looked at the score of 59 to 64, but he couldn't catch up, couldn't overtake, he was in a hurry!

   When the Argentine team attacked, Ginobili continued to break through!

   With this choice, Scola looked at the opponent's position and felt that he would suffer!

   Ginobili failed to get past Liu Xiu's defense directly. Although there was a breakthrough route, he was stuck by Liu Xiu.

  However, at the free throw line, Ginobili made a European step against Liu Xiu, leaving Liu Xiu behind. Seeing this scene, Scola called it beautiful.

But in order to get rid of Liu Xiu, Ginobili's European step was too obvious. Wang Zhizhi came to the defensive position when Ginobili's second step landed. The receiving line is not good, and it is easy to make mistakes.

   Ginobili had no intention of passing the ball, and jumped directly towards Wang Zhizhi after the second step landed!

Scola was not happy to see Wang Zhizhi with his hands high and unable to interfere with Ginobili's high throw, because Yi Jianlian who was defending him rushed towards Ginobili. The same bullet speed rushed towards Ginobili, blocking the shot...

   Ginobili pulls the bar to avoid Yi Jianlian's block! A one-on-three lever throw shot!

   Scola exclaimed, this ball is beautiful... Mill is big! !

  Liu Xiu rushed into the interior from the wing, slapped Ginobili's throw before it reached the highest point, and the ball bounced off the backboard.

   Scola rushed into the inside line while cursing, overturned Yi Jianlian in the fight, the referee whistled, and Scola fouled!

  The Chinese team has the ball, and the Argentine team calls a timeout!

   Scola committed 3 fouls, with one and a half quarters left, and was replaced after entering a timeout.

   Hernandez's head started to grow again.

   But Scola is not to blame for this foul. He has to grab the ball. In this position, if one of Liu Xiu and Wang Zhizhi grabs the ball, Liu Xiu will definitely be able to counterattack. Yi Jianlian also has a good starting space in the middle.

   If you really want to blame it, you have to blame the monster knife.

  Zhenzhen was not calm at all, and played well in the stalemate, but Yaodao's brain twitched when he was anxious.

   It would be fine if the air was sucked in, but this is not the case.

   But Hernandez can understand Ginobili, and his love will face the outrageously strong warden.

  He knows how much Ginobili wants to beat Liu Xiu head-on, the club wants to beat, and the national team wants to beat.

  Scola, who was replaced, couldn't calm down here. The convulsive demon sword reminded him of the shadow of being hacked last season.

   Afterwards, people analyzed the Warriors' black eight and found several key points.

  One of them was a game that the Spurs lost. Originally, the Spurs were ahead, and if they played steadily, they might be able to win.

  But Ginobili suddenly turned on the 'white chocolate' mode, and made continuous pass mistakes. His teammates and opponents didn't know why he passed like that.

  Ginobili passed the ball out of bounds, and the ball belonged to the Warriors. The Warriors seized the opportunity to quickly overtake the score and finally won.

  If that game wins, the Spurs are very likely to drag the series to the tiebreaker, and it will be hard to say who will win by then.

   Of course, Scola did not have such strong dissatisfaction with Ginobili, but at this moment, he has the heart to apply for a trade with the Spurs.

   My heart is really tired!

  …

   After the timeout, the Argentine team sent a combination of Prigioni, Ginobili, Delfino, Oberto, and Fernandez.

  The Chinese team did not make substitutions and continued to rest Yao Ming.

  Argentina's lineup is not good offensively, but the defense is very good. Liu Xiu and Wang Zhizhi are working hard, and they only play back and forth with each other.

  In the rest of the third quarter, the Chinese team failed to widen the point difference, but the Argentine team was not successful either.

  The score in a single quarter was 22 to 21, and the Chinese team won by 1 point. The total score was 75 to 69, and the Chinese team's lead expanded to 6 points!

   After the intermission, watching Yao Ming play, Kobe said to Deron: "China won."

   Deron didn't answer, Wade retorted: "The Argentine team also has Scola, he is the number one insider in the international arena."

   Kobe didn't object to this statement. The ability evaluation Liu Xiu saw was that the sister-in-law was the first, the little giant was the second, the silver horn king was the third, and the diamond was the fourth.

   But who is the strongest in the eyes of the public is very controversial.

  Combined with the actual performance of the team, Scola is even better. On the Spanish team, Pau Gasol led his teammates, while in the Argentine team, his teammates made Scola perform better.

  But Bosh, Beast, and the champion of parallel imports are all staring at Wade's back.

   Kobe explained: "The Argentine team cares too much about the warden. Ginobili really wants to compete with the warden and is often impulsive, but the warden is very calm."

  Competition sometimes requires momentum, but sometimes it also requires calmness.

  The current Argentine team needs to play a tug-of-war with the Chinese team in a stable manner, and find the right time to launch a counterattack, not in a hurry.

  Wade understands this, but he just wants to slap Kobe: "You know, that's Manu Ginobili!"

   "..."

   Kobe didn't want to talk anymore, he felt like he was talking to Carter, strenuous!

  Kobe knows Ginobili very well. He and Ginobili have played against him as many times as Liu Xiu.

  As he expected, after the start of the fourth quarter, Ginobili caught the ball and turned around to face Liu Xiu and hit a three-pointer, then raised his chin at Liu Xiu.

   This means that you want to single out!

  In the last quarter of the Olympic semi-finals, they were singled out by the opponent's star, very domineering.

  The rest of the Argentine team were also extremely excited.

   But Kobe just wanted to complain when he saw this picture-you fell into the ditch, hey!

  Then he saw Liu Xiu opened his eyes wide and excitedly pushed forward, broke through to the inside in singles, turned around at close range to avoid Oberto, took off, and smashed the ball into the basket through Scola who retracted to the basket!

   When retreating, Liu Xiu followed Ginobili who was running forward, talking while running.

  The players of the US team happened to be behind the billboard on the same side. Others couldn't understand it, but they guessed that it should be in Spanish, and collectively looked at Kobe who could speak Spanish.

   Kobe couldn't help but cursed "shameless".

  What Liu Xiu said to Ginobili in Spanish just now was—"I dunked your inside line, but do you dare to dunk our inside line?"
