Leonardo Gutierrez lay on the ground and didn't wait for the referee to make a judgment on Stephen's behavior. Instead, what he saw was the referee standing in front of him with a livid face, looking down at him, telling him to stand up quickly from the ground. stand up.

At the beginning, he didn't understand why the referee didn't punish Stephen for his behavior, but aimed at himself. Since his eyes were right on the big screen on the top, the playback on it allowed him to see everything clearly. Plus Juan Sanchez was pulling him up and whispering in his ear what happened.

Leonardo Gutierrez only knows Spanish, their official language, so he can't understand what the referee's English means, but from the referee's expression and tone, it can be known that the referee is very serious about his behavior. is angry.

Although the referees don't like athletes challenging their own authority, they are also very angry about the behavior of flopping to win their sympathy, because it means a kind of deception, as if they are teasing them like fools. It is well known that South American players have traditions and habits of diving and performing, which naturally arouses their anger even more.

The on-site referee is a Saudi Arabian referee sent by FIBA. He has no intention of favoring the Chinese national team, but it is also impossible to favor the Argentine national team, which is one of the three top competitions organized by FIBA. , FIBA ​​still attaches great importance to this game.

Relatively speaking, referees in Europe and America usually favor teams from these two regions. This is because the relationship between the two is too deep. If you switch to referees from Africa or Asia, you will have the problem of favoring the Chinese team. However, there is one region in Asia that is an exception, and that is the Middle East.

Because of the oil, the people here are relatively rich, and being rich means that they can receive a good education. Many European sports academies are filled with many students from the Middle East. Because of talent or time, athletes and coaches There are not many Middle Easterners, but referees are very common.

The on-duty referee Molibe Mohamed Suharto is such a person. After all, he studied coaching at the Cologne Institute of Physical Education, but he tried but failed, and finally changed his job as a referee. In just seven years Time has become an internationally renowned referee.

Strictly speaking, he is still close relatives with the royal family of Saudi Arabia, but because there are too many royal families in Saudi Arabia, it is worthless, otherwise he would not come to be a basketball referee.

Morib Suharto unceremoniously gave Leonardo Gutierrez a technical foul. Since the year before last, FIBA ​​has adopted new rules. Dipping is regarded as a technical foul, and it is also two free throws and one throw In this way, it means that neither side has taken advantage of it.

Stephen made two free throws, then received a pass from Wang Zhizhi during the serve, changed directions from left to right and hit the basket twice, and scored two points with a light layup.

As Stephen scored two plus one on Pablo Prileoni, the Chinese national team once again expanded the point difference to more than double digits. Stephen added more than a minute, although he personally did not continue to score , But it helped his teammates keep scoring, and at the same time effectively stabilized the situation.

Seeing that the scene has basically stabilized, Argentina seems to have given up on chasing points in a short period of time. The offensive has weakened, and the momentum of scoring has also slowed down. At this time, Jonas called a timeout and let Stephen After the rest, Zhu Fangyu will play, and at the same time rearrange the tactics.

Since having two superstar players, Yao Ming and Stephen, Jonas has always adhered to a principle, that is, the two always keep one on the court as a threat. Although Yao Ming lacks the necessary outside support inside, China The national team has been here for so many years, and it has been trained for a long time.

No, seeing Stephen off the field, Argentine national team coach Fernandez immediately put Ginobili and Scola on the field. Except for Nocioni, the other starters have already played, and they intend to use their last A strong force will overtake the score in a short time.

But for his plan, Jonas has already expected it. If they don't know how to take advantage of this opportunity, they will not be a strong team in the world, so his arrangement is to focus on defense, and the offense is to play inside and out. Shoot threes.

What the Chinese national team has to do is to slow down the pace of the game and try to lengthen each round as much as possible. If it is really impossible to prevent the opponent from scoring, they will use the ultimate defensive method of fouling. In short, it is to prevent the Argentine team from attacking comfortably. .

South American teams, whether football or basketball, have the personality and genes of South Americans who advocate freedom and unrestrainedness. When they play with passion, the game will be very good-looking, and they can also occupy a great advantage, but they are definitely not A Steelers type team.

Such a game mode will forcibly kill their passion for the game, and it will make them feel disgusted with the game. Without passion, their offense and defense will automatically drop to a level. Dominant, the offense is still playing soundly, the Chinese national team still needs to use fouls to stop their scoring, and the defense is also very effective, but the point difference between the two sides has not been narrowed.

Playing until the end of the third quarter, the point difference between the two sides was still in double digits. Of course, it was only in double digits. This was because Zhu Fangyu made a three-pointer in the last attack time of only three seconds, otherwise If so, it's a difference of seven points.

Entering the decisive game of the fourth quarter with a [-]-point advantage is good news for the Chinese national team, because this is their number one star Stephen, who is currently resting on the sidelines, and is recharging his energy. If the Argentine team You can't narrow the point difference before he plays and wait for him to come back.

The games before this game have fully proved that Argentina's defense cannot limit Stephen. The ten point difference is an obvious proof. It will cause a lot of trouble for the Argentine team.

After the start of the fourth quarter, Pablo Prileoni suddenly started to show his power, frequently showing his nimble footwork and superior shooting touch in front of Liu Wei. In front of him, Liu Wei looked clumsy and inflexible. There is still a lack of technology in hand.

Pablo Prileoni got rid of Liu Wei's defense twice in a row and entered the penalty area. Once he scored two points in front of Wang Zhizhi, and the other time he didn't score, but caused Yao Ming's foul, and then Liu Wei In front of him, he pulled up abruptly and made a three-pointer.

The Chinese national team has scored zero so far. After Liu Wei was almost intercepted by Pablo Prileoni and caused a mistake, Yunus immediately replaced Liu Wei with Sun Yue, but after Sun Yue came on the field , Not much better than Liu Wei in defense.

His height and jumping are better than Pablo Prileoni, but strength confrontation has become a disadvantage, and in terms of experience, he is not like Liu Wei, who has been with the national team for many years, facing Pablo Prie Leoni and Sun Yue still seemed a bit invincible.

At this time, both the fans and the so-called professionals on the sidelines turned their attention to the bench of the Chinese national team. Stephen was sitting there. Although there was no expression on his face, he could not see any seriousness.

Since Stephen played the No. 8 position in the first half of the game and performed pretty well, many people felt that Stephen should be replaced at this time. His rest time is not short, and the game time is only left. It's less than [-] minutes, and Stephen's abnormal physical strength can fully support the following time.

But Jonas did not do this, but continued to hold Stephen on the bench, allowing the opponent to get whatever he wanted in the weak parts of his lineup.

But at this time, Yao Ming suddenly seemed to be on a stimulant. Although he lacked outside support, he still turned the opponent's penalty area upside down with his own strength. Seeing that the team stabilized the situation so quickly, especially The corners of Nas' eyebrows, eyes, and mouth began to smile.

If the Chinese national team wants to become better and go further, it must learn how to play without Stephen on the court. At least it must be able to entangle with the opponent for a period of time until Stephen plays, because even if Stephen is physically strong , and it is impossible to stay on the field all the time.

Seeing that the time for the game is getting less and less, not only the players of the Argentine national team are a little anxious, but even their head coach Fernandez is also anxious, but the more anxious, the worse it is. There were signs of being enlarged again, and Fernandez immediately called a timeout.

He didn't say much about the status of the players, but stared at them one by one, asking if their goals were satisfied after winning an Olympic gold medal, which immediately raised the players' enthusiasm , and then he started arranging tactics again.

He demanded that the team must attack with all their strength before Stephen played. Although there was no statement, the implication was that defense could be sacrificed, but it was not enough to just talk about defense at this time, because they were falling behind.

After the timeout, the Argentine team's style of play changed, and the offense was like a passionate samba dance, which made people dazzled. Although Jonas made arrangements during the timeout, the difference in strength between the two sides simply emphasized the arrangement and did not Nothing works.

Especially Ginobili, even if he is not in good condition, even if he is getting older, he is still the core of the Argentine team, and he is still the Ginobili who breaks through like the wind and shoots like a sharp arrow through his throat. Three points and a layup after a breakthrough, plus two assists and one steal, in just over 2 minutes, the point difference was narrowed to only one point.

At this time, Jonas stood up and called a timeout. At this time, it is time to replace Stephen. This is an unquestionable fact that many people think, but otherwise, Jonas still let Stephen sit. There, just blindly emphasize tactics.

After the timeout, Sun Yue made a pass error. Pablo Prileoni rushed to the floor to grab the ball, lay down and passed it to Ginobili who had already run halfway, and then Ginobili made a layup Score and successfully overtake the score.
