The fourth quarter begins.

Whether we will enter the semi-finals or pack up and go home depends on these last 10 minutes.

"come on!".

The Chinese team has the ball.

"Leave it to me. You try to recover as much as possible. There will be a time when you are desperate." Yao Ming said to Wang Hao.

"good.".

Wang Hao advanced with the ball. He also pulled Gasol out from outside the three-point line.

In the years before Yao Ming retired, whether he was playing against the Rockets or the Chinese team, as long as he had Yao Ming, the best way to defend against Yao Ming was never to block the ball behind him.

Yao Ming is not a threat. Yao Ming has too many ways to score with the ball.

Spain also knows this truth. Gasol frantically fought hand-to-hand with Yao Ming, fighting for position.

Wang Hao, who was holding the ball, had been paying attention to this scene. Seeing Gasol moving forward so actively, Wang Hao secretly made a gesture to Yao Ming.

Yao Ming suddenly gave up the fight with Gasol.

Gasol, who thought his pass had been successful, saw Wang Hao's pass flying over his head before he could be happy.

"not good.".

But it was too late. Yao Ming received the ball and directly faced the empty blue. He used a rebound shot and scored the ball.

"Smart." Yao Ming praised.

65:64 The Chinese team once again took the lead by one point.

At this point in the game, in addition to the competition of willpower, there is also the state of the leading players.

The difference between a star and a role player is that a star can score the ball no matter what method he uses when the team needs to score. A star is someone who can carry the team forward.

Pau Gasol is the well-deserved boss of the Spanish team. At this point in the game, let alone Wang Hao, who is guarding him, even if it is Duncan, Garnett, or even Malone who is guarding him, he has to shoulder the responsibility of the team.

Attack banner.

Gasol didn't believe that Wang Hao, who had been out for 2 minutes while recovering from injury, had the energy to defend him in a normal game.

Wang Hao was stuck and asked for the ball decisively.

Calderon steadily passed the ball to Gasol.

Wang Hao's physical strength is indeed not as strong as it was at the beginning, and he may not be able to do that kind of extreme blocking, but he can still withstand Gasol.

The two also started a crazy physical fight.

Wang Hao even used the little moves that Kobe taught him, pushing, pulling, pinching, and tugging.

Bang!

Gasol hit it with all his strength.

Wang Hao moved slightly and quickly regained his composure.

Boom! Gasol is coming.

Wang Hao still resisted.

Seeing that the back shot was ineffective, Gasol turned half-turn and shot with a hook.

Wang Hao stared helplessly at the ball in the sky.

"Don't come in, don't come in.".

"Why.".

The ball still went in.

Wang Hao has already defended this ball very well, but the hook shot. An inside hook shot with a height of 215cm and a wingspan of 230cm, God knows how high he has to jump to hit the ball.

Maybe Wang Hao will have a chance when he is physically strong and well prepared.

65:66. Spain leads by one point again.

The two teams just went back and forth to give you two points. I played two points for nearly five minutes.

Spain. Pau Gasol relied on his super high hook shooting percentage to beat Wang Hao in isolation.

The Chinese team relied on Yao Ming's performance in the paint to stabilize the situation.

"Hoo." "Hoo."

Yao Ming has begun to breathe heavily.

"I'm going to fight two Yao brothers, remember to pull apart." Wang Hao took over the offensive banner.

The Chinese team attacks.

This time the ball was not passed to Yao Ming. Instead, it was passed to Wang Hao who blocked Gasol in the paint and wanted the ball.

Bang! Bang!

Wang Hao, who had lost a lot of physical strength, also did not push Gasol. But being unable to push him did not mean that Wang Hao would not attack.

Wang Hao turned around and made a move that Gasol was very familiar with. He leaned back slightly and raised one foot. The arc between the shooting point and the ball was extremely high.

That’s right, it’s the veteran driver’s “Golden Rooster Independence.”

Gasol's eyes were fixed on the basketball flying towards the basket.

Uh-huh!!!

The ball goes in.

"Good shot." Yao Ming waved his fist excitedly.

The score was 75:74, and the Chinese team took the lead by one point.

Easy side to fight again.

Gasol, who was physically exhausted, did not choose to play Wang Hao alone again. Instead, he mentioned high-level support.

This time it was Fernandez who stepped up to score. This star defender had been quiet for half a quarter.

Speaking of Gasol and Fernandez in the high position, they cleverly cooperated hand-to-hand, briefly helping Fernandez block the defender.

At this fleeting opportunity, Fernandez made a decisive move and scored two long points, once again helping Spain take the lead by one point.

75:76.

The Chinese team attacks.

Liu Wei still passed the ball and found Wang Hao. Wang Hao hit Gasol with his back.

Calderon, who had been paying attention to the inside line, thought this was an opportunity to steal Wang Hao, so he decisively dropped the defender and rushed towards Wang Hao.

Wang Hao caught sight of this scene from the corner of his eye and passed the ball to Liu Wei who was in the open position. Liu Wei lived up to expectations and scored two points with a mid-range shot.

The score was 77:76 with 2 and a half minutes left before the end of the game. The situation on the court was still unclear.

This time in Spain, it was Fernandez who stepped up again.

Excellent running and jumping ability allowed Fernandez to easily get rid of the Chinese team's defense. He received the pass and hit a three-pointer.

77:79 The Chinese team is two points behind.

Seeing Spain stubbornly overtaking the score again, Wang Hao couldn't help but feel anxious.

"Give me the ball." Yao Ming, who was serving, heard three familiar words again.

Yao Ming passed the ball to Wang Hao without hesitation.

Wang Hao dribbled the ball and rushed forward. The moment counts now and every second is precious. Wang Hao doesn't want to waste it.

This time the Spanish team did not wait for Wang Hao at the three-point line. Wang Hao's shooting range has been proven in previous games.

Gasol was forced to intercept Wang Hao in front of the midline. Although Gasol's interception was quickly broken through by Wang Hao, he successfully bought time for the teammates behind him to set up a defensive line.

Wang Hao was forced to stop the ball outside the three-point line.

Wang Hao, who was holding the ball with both hands, used his body to push against Gasol who was retreating from defense.

With a sudden force, Gasol, who was on defense, was pushed back slightly.

With the fleeting opportunity, Wang Hao directly shot a three-pointer.

At this moment, everyone held their breath. If Wang Hao scored, the game could continue. If not, the game on the eighth floor would be lost.

Fortunately, I did not disgrace my life.

This goal, which the Chinese team hoped for, simply fell into the net.

80:79 The Chinese team once again led by 1 point.

There was no time to celebrate and he quickly returned to defense.

In the next few rounds, the Chinese team was completely defensive.

Although they looked very embarrassed, they successfully restricted Spain's attack. However, the Chinese team seemed to have lost the skill package for scoring goals.

The two teams played for 2 minutes.

With 22 seconds left in the game, Spain has the ball.

The winner will be announced soon.

Needless to say at this moment, the Chinese team also knew not to foul, not to act rashly, and not to follow people.

The ball was in Calderon's hands, looking for opportunities.

After some fruitless transmission, Calderon could only hand the ball to the inside player closest to the basket, Gasol.

Gasol, who had barely touched the ball throughout the game, had to carry the team on his own shoulders at this moment. Time did not allow him to think too much.

With 2 seconds left in the game, Gasol made a hasty shot under the basket.

beep!

Yao Ming's thug fouled. To make matters worse, the ball bounced twice on the basket and actually went in.

At this moment, the mentality of the entire Chinese team players hit rock bottom. Yao Ming even patted his head in frustration.

"There is still time, Brother Yao." Wang Hao stepped forward to comfort him.

Coach Gong was also standing next to the technical table, preparing to call a timeout. As long as the Chinese team controls the ball, the timeout will take place.

Gasol, who originally wanted to miss the free throw on purpose, accidentally made the free throw. This gave the Chinese team 0.9 seconds of attack time.

Can 0.9 seconds kill? The answer is yes. Kills with less time have occurred.

"After a while, Yao Ming serves. No matter who it is, give me the ball and take a decisive shot. If it doesn't score, it's mine. If it scores, it's yours." Director Gong didn't make any tactical arrangements. At this moment, the tactics were useless, 0.9 seconds

The time is right to catch the ball and take the shot. It won’t work if the shot is too slow.

The pause ends.

0.9 seconds determine the fate of both teams.

Beep! The referee's whistle signals the serve.

The Chinese team players ran wildly, but with little effect.

Wang Hao could only run to the center circle to catch the ball.

Seeing that Wang Hao was empty in front of the center circle, Yao Ming passed the ball directly.

"Wang Hao catches the ball.".

"Wang Hao takes action."

...a brief moment of peace.

"The ball went in.".

"The Chinese team defeated the powerful Spanish team, created history, and entered the semi-finals of the Men's Basketball World Championship." The excited teacher Zhang also shouted crazily in the studio.

"Wait a minute, Teacher Zhang, the goal is invalid?" Yu Jia shouted gaffefully.

"Why is the goal invalid? It is obviously a good goal." Teacher Zhang also said.

"There is a replay. Look at the time. Wang Hao caught the ball, walked seconds, took off and shot. What a pity. Wang Hao did not throw the ball before the light came on."

Yu Jia said sadly.

The Chinese team, which was already preparing to celebrate, looked downcast after hearing the referee's decision.

The Spanish team, already waiting to accept their fate, did cheer loudly.

"Let's go! Go over and shake hands. Call back in 2008." Yao Ming patted Wang Hao on the shoulder and said.

"Wang Hao, please go to the hospital to treat the wound. Don't get scarred after a long time. Yao Ming came with me to attend the press conference." Director Gong rushed Wang Hao to the hospital directly.

Press conference.

Gong Luming: "Although it is a pity to lose, a loss is a loss, even if the difference is 0.1 seconds, it is a loss. We will fight back in the 2008 Olympics at home."

Director Gong’s speech was very brief.

Reporter: "Why didn't Wang Hao come to the press conference?".

Yao Ming: "Wang Hao went to the hospital to treat the wound. He used a stapler to seal the wound around his eye during the Jiaozuo game. Now he has to go to the hospital to have it treated properly to avoid infection."

Reporter: "Hiss! How much courage does this require?".

Yao Ming: "I don't know. If it were me, I wouldn't necessarily dare."

studio

Director Zhang: "Although we regrettably lost this game, we can rest assured that this Chinese men's basketball team has the ability to challenge the world's top teams and may even win a medal at the Olympics."

Yu Jia: "Yes, this men's basketball team is excellent in terms of personnel composition and age. With the two core players of Yao Ming and Wang Hao, the future is unlimited."
