The Dream Team attacked and Anthony hit a mid-range jumper.
Although Zhang Zhiyuan has improved his defensive ability by 50%, he cannot take care of all positions, so the score of the Dream Team is still not a big problem.
They need defense, defense.
The commentators and guests all know it, the fans can see it, and Kobe and others also know it in their hearts.
After the shot was made, the members of the Dream Team hurriedly retreated to their own half and took up their positions.
The Chinese team attacks, Zhang Zhiyuan holds the ball.
After halftime, Kobe stepped forward to prevent Zhang Zhiyuan from throwing a long three-pointer.
Zhang Zhiyuan then broke through and just passed Kobe, James had already made up for him.
Zhang Zhiyuan quickly passed the ball to Zhu Fangyu, who threw the ball without thinking.
Three point hit.
When they no longer feared the dream team, their performance became even better.
"Is it even possible for the Dream Team to lose? They are so useless."
The situation on the court became increasingly unfavorable to the American team, and the Lithuanian commentators were a little out of sorts.
"Even the dream team was at a disadvantage. We didn't lose unjustly."
The Spanish media really hopes that the Dream Team loses, which can save a little face for the Spanish team.
Even the dream team lost, so it’s normal for our country to lose.
On the court, the dream team is fighting back.
As soon as Howard caught the ball, someone immediately fouled him and sent him to the free throw line.
Howard continued to play steadily and made one of two free throws.
This kind of efficiency is okay in some games, but in today's game, only one point per round is obviously a loss-making business.
The Chinese team attacked and Zhang Zhiyuan was double-teamed before he could catch the ball.
Sun Yue passed the ball to Zhu Fangyu, Anthony threw it out, and Zhu Fangyu passed it to Yao Ming.
Yao Ming turned around for a layup, Howard fouled him, and Yao Ming stepped to the free throw line and made both free throws.
They are both center forwards, but the difference is so huge that American fans were speechless when they saw it.
During the transition between offense and defense, Wade tried to cut to the basket, but Zhang Zhiyuan blocked it.
Wade then retreated to the outside, trying to pull people away from the basket so that he would have room to break through.
Zhang Zhiyuan did not go out, but Zhu Fangyu didn't know Wade and wanted to go over to make up for the defense.
"Don't go, don't go, he has no basket."
Zhang Zhiyuan shouted.
Wade patted the basketball and helplessly shot a long two-pointer.
The ball didn't go in.
Chinese fans laughed when they saw this.
The Chinese team counterattacked, and Zhang Zhiyuan also hit the ball hard.
Even with the bonus of props, the hit rate is not 100%.
The two teams continued to play for several rounds, and Zhang Zhiyuan's shooting percentage dropped.
But it's not a big problem, because the offensive efficiency of the Dream Team is also declining.
It's almost the fourth quarter, and both sides are a little tired.
The American team is slightly better, they have more players who can play.
As the Chinese team's physical strength declined, the Dream Team began to gain the upper hand and had a strong tendency to counterattack.
"The Chinese team's physical strength is running low, but the victory still belongs to the dream team."
The Lithuanian commentator said excitedly, as if he thought their country's team was going to win.
"The Dream Team still has a physical advantage. The last quarter is their chance. The game is not over yet."
Buckley said.
"Really? I doubt it."
Smith said.
cctv5.
Zhang Lili was also a little anxious. He said: "Persistence, persistence is victory. Make it through the last quarter."
His anxious tone made Chinese fans even more worried. After all, physical strength has always been a weakness of the Chinese team.
I am afraid that Zhang Zhiyuan is the only one in the team who is a physical monster, but today Zhang Zhiyuan also spent a lot of money in order to support both offense and defense.
Can he hold on forever?
No one knows.
Fortunately, the third quarter is about to end and the men's basketball team can take a few minutes to rest.
Time ran out little by little, and at the end of the third quarter, the score was 90 to 81, with the Chinese team leading by 9 points.
However, the effect of Zhang Zhiyuan's props also ended, and he did not clock in for three quarters.
A 9-point advantage is not safe at all, not to mention the opponent is a dream team.
In desperation, Zhang Zhiyuan had no choice but to take a luxury and once again used the King of the End.
[King of the last quarter, S level, only available in the fourth quarter, after use, shooting stability is 10%, shooting rate is 10%, steal success rate is 20%, physical recovery is 30%. 】
As long as you can win this gold medal, no matter how much hatred you spend, it will be worthwhile.
After recovering a lot of physical fitness, Zhang Zhiyuan went straight into the field in the fourth quarter without taking any rest. It seemed that he was ready to play the entire game.
"Can you bear this?"
Zhang Lili was worried.
"It should be fine. He has played 48 minutes in the NBA."
Sun Zhengping said.
At the beginning of the game, Zhang Zhiyuan's performance made the Chinese fans breathe a sigh of relief. Zhang Zhiyuan was still as lively as ever.
As soon as Kobe holds the ball, he will step forward and press hard.
This kind of defense caused great trouble for Kobe, and he couldn't even take a shot comfortably.
Kobe passed the ball, Paul broke through Sun Yue and hit a mid-range jumper.
During the transition between offense and defense, Zhang Zhiyuan ran wildly, got rid of Kobe Bryant, caught the ball, and rushed directly to the inside of the Dream Team, completing a dunk.
When Kobe saw this, he could only shake his head secretly and exclaimed, "It's great to be young."
When the physical advantage that the dream team expected did not materialize, they had no choice but to work hard.
James started to break through, and Zhu Fangyu caught up with him and took off, almost hanging on James, but James still completed the shot.
twenty one.
James made the extra free throw.
At the critical moment, James also began to explode.
The Chinese team attacked, Zhang Zhiyuan was double-teamed, Sun Yue passed the ball to Zhu Fangyu.
Zhu Fangyu hit a three-pointer, and Yao Ming beat Howard to get the rebound.
Originally, he wanted to shoot it himself, but he saw Zhang Zhiyuan slip into the corner, and the people on the Dream Team hadn't noticed yet.
Ever since, Yao Ming passed the ball out, and three points were more cost-effective than two points.
He has absolute confidence in Zhang Zhiyuan.
Zhang Zhiyuan also lived up to his expectations, catching the ball and hitting the ball, and his personal score reached 45.
"We can't let up on Zhang's defense for a moment. Why doesn't Kobe learn his lesson?"
Barkley complained.
"It's easier said than done. It's not that easy to stare at one person the whole time."
Smith defended Kobe.
On the court, the game continues.
The two sides fought for several more rounds, but the Dream Team was still unable to narrow the score.
As the game time gradually passed, their hopes also dwindled.
With four minutes left, Zhang Zhiyuan scored a layup and the score reached 50.
The score between the two teams was 107 to 100, and the Chinese team continued to lead by 7 points.
James started to get anxious, and so did Kobe.
Kobe shouted for the ball, but Paul didn't pass it to him, but passed it to James.
After all, no matter how you look at it, James' choice to fight Zhu Fangyu is better than Kobe's choice to fight Zhang Zhiyuan.
James started, and Zhu Fangyu was out of position again. This time he simply gave up the foul to avoid 21.
James scored and the Chinese team served.
Kobe Bryant and James together prevented Zhang Zhiyuan from catching the ball, but unfortunately they only had 5 people on the court, so Yi Jianlian easily sent the ball to Zhu Fangyu, and the Chinese team advanced steadily.
Anthony defended Zhu Fangyu, Zhu Fangyu passed the ball, and Yao Ming singled out Howard under the basket and hit another hook.
The time elapsed was 30 seconds, and the point difference remained unchanged.
The Dream Team was attacking, James was holding the ball, and Zhang Zhiyuan suddenly dropped Kobe and stepped forward to double-team him, and reached for the ball.
With the addition of props, James was cut off again.
This mistake was so fatal that James quickly caught up and committed the foul.
Zhang Zhiyuan stepped to the free throw line and made two free throws, bringing his personal score to 52.
"It's amazing, it's really amazing."
Zhang Lili could only sigh and had nothing else to say.
"50 in the Olympic finals, tsk tsk tsk..."
Sun Zhengping.
"Stable."
Chinese fans could no longer contain their excitement and began to celebrate in advance.
With a 9-point lead, as long as the Chinese team doesn't make any major mistakes, the Dream Team has almost no chance.
The Dream Team didn't give up yet. Anthony hit Yi Jianlian behind the basket and turned around for a jumper.
The ball didn't go in.
At the critical moment, everyone on the dream team seemed to be out of sorts.
Yao Ming took off the rebound and signaled the team to control the rhythm and consume time.
As the leading side, they are in no hurry.
If you can force the Dream Team to foul, that would be great.
Sun Yue holds the ball and Paul presses.
Sun Yue passed the ball and Kobe tried to steal it and touched the ball.
But he didn't catch it, and he and Zhang Zhiyuan fell to the ground and started fighting.
Finally, the referee gave the ball a scrimmage.
Even the Dream Team was dissatisfied with this penalty, but it was a scrimmage.
Zhang Zhiyuan jumped higher than Kobe and gave the ball to his side.
The dream team didn't catch anything and wasted a lot of time.
The Chinese team attacked and Zhang Zhiyuan shot and hit the ball.
Then the Dream Team quickly counterattacked and Kobe hit a three-pointer.
But the problem is not big, the game time is running out, only 90 seconds are left.
111 to 105, the Chinese team still leads by 6 points and still has the ball.
The Chinese team served, the Dream Team pressed hard, and Zhang Zhiyuan had two people chasing him.
Zhu Fangyu steadily served the ball to Yi Jianlian. Anthony reached out to steal the ball but failed and fouled Yi Jianlian.
Yi Jianlian stepped to the free throw line, withstood the pressure and made two free throws.
Then the Dream Team quickly counterattacked, and James also threw a three-pointer and hit it.
113 to 108, the point difference narrowed to 5 points.
American fans have a glimmer of hope. As long as the Chinese team misses next, the Dream Team will be able to score two more three-pointers.
However, Zhang Zhiyuan soon made their illusions come true.
The Chinese team counterattacked, and after spending more than ten seconds, Zhang Zhiyuan took a forceful shot against the double team.
Then the ball went in.
For a moment, everyone in the dream team was a little confused.
The Dream Team counterattacked, and Kobe shot a three-pointer but missed.
With 40 seconds left in the game, the game completely lost its suspense.
The Chinese team served successfully and the Dream Team was forced to foul. Sun Yue went to the free throw line and made one of two free throws.
But it doesn't matter, they still have a 9-point advantage.
The Dream Team served quickly, James passed the ball, and Anthony missed a three-pointer.
Then the Dream Team gave up the foul and the game ended.
117 to 108, the Chinese team beat the Dream Team by 9 points.
In terms of statistics, Kobe Bryant scored the highest score on the Dream Team, making 12 of 22 shots. Including three-pointers and free throws, he scored a total of 29 points. His performance was pretty good.
However, he was facing Zhang Zhiyuan, and when compared with Zhang Zhiyuan's statistics, it seems that Kobe played very poorly.
Wade only scored 15 points due to his shorter playing time.
James didn't shoot much, making 8 of 14 shots and scoring 19 points.
Howard had 10 points, Anthony had 11 points, Reid had 4 points, Boozer had 6 points, Prince had 2 points, Kidd had 2 points, Bosh had 4 points, Paul had 6 points...
For the Chinese team, Zhang Zhiyuan scored the best statistics of the game, making 22 of 37 shots, 9 of 19 three-pointers, and 4 of 4 free throws. He scored 55 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals, and 2 blocks.
Yao Ming scored a double-double with 19 points and 10 rebounds.
Zhu Fangyu scored 12 points and Yi Jianlian scored 11 points.
The Chinese team's scoring was relatively concentrated. Except for them, no one else scored in double figures.
"We won, we won, we really won."
The fans at the scene immediately lost their minds and fell into carnival.
The fans in front of the TV were no better. For a time, the whole country was celebrating this moment.
At the scene, Kobe looked at the scorer and seemed a little unbelievable.
The same goes for other people, they don't even know how they lost, they just seemed to be fighting, and then they lost.
"Congratulations, a great fight."
Kidd came to Zhang Zhiyuan to send congratulations. Unlike James Wade and others, he was old and did not directly compete with Zhang Zhiyuan.
Now he just wants to have a good relationship with Zhang Zhiyuan, and maybe he can become a champion in the future and fulfill his dream of becoming a champion.
Kidd just said a word and left. After all, it was the Chinese team's celebration time.
The members of the men's basketball team were almost crazy at this time, each one howling.
Excited, they were so excited.
After all, before the Olympics started, they never thought they could defeat the Dream Team and win the championship.
And now, the gold medal is waving to them, which will be the greatest honor in their lives.
In comparison, Zhang Zhiyuan is much more calm.
After all, he had already decided to win before the fight even started, so now there was no sense of surprise, but a feeling of relief.
This feels pretty good too.
At the post-match press conference, members of the Dream Team attended first.
"Congratulations to them, they played a great game."
Facing reporters' questions, Kobe could only say this.
"What do you think is the reason for losing? Is it because of Zhang?"
The reporter asked James.
"Yes, some players are unstoppable once they enter an explosive state. We played very hard, but we just couldn't prevent them."
James said helplessly.
If it were Zhang Zhiyuan in a normal state, James would have the confidence to fight. But unfortunately, he encountered Zhang Zhiyuan in an explosive state. Facing that kind of unreasonable goal, James could do nothing.
"Zhang is the MVP and the best player in the league. It is actually normal to lose to Zhang and Yao."
Kidd said.
"We will come back next time, and next time we will be stronger and more focused."
Anthony was still a little unconvinced and felt that the loss was just bad luck.
"Zhang Zhiyuan is too scary. I know this in the NBA. He is the player I least want to guard."
Prince said.
Most of the people in the dream team were exaggerating Zhiyuan, and they were somewhat unconvinced in their words.
But it doesn't matter if you don't accept it. This is a single game that determines the outcome. They have no chance to come back.
