Chapter 1516 Playing the whole game, although the defeat is glorious

There were not a few minutes left in the third quarter.

At this time, the US team led by 12 points. Mr. Popovich adjusted the lineup slightly. After all, these five players cannot always play, but Mr. Popovich did not change his previous style of play. He replaced Butler. Davis was replaced.

Although Davis plays as a power forward, he has excellent athletic ability and comprehensive skills. Being placed in the entire lineup will not destroy the original system.

The Chinese team still can't prevent the US team.

But the U.S. team also had difficulty guarding against Meng Yun and Xiang Long, and Yi Jianlian and others could score one or two from time to time. The Chinese team fell into a disadvantage overall, but they were not helpless.

What surprised the fans was that Meng Yun and Xiang Long were still on the court until the end of the third quarter.

And it seems that the two may continue to play the fourth quarter.

"Although there is a gap between the strength and the American team, the attitude of the Chinese team is still awe-inspiring, especially Meng Yun and Xiang Long, this is going to play the whole game!"

"It seems that we really have to play the whole game, because we can't do it without them. However, there is not much suspense in this game. The strength gap is there. However, the Chinese team still takes the game so seriously. This is indeed rare and admirable. .”

Meng Yun and Xiang Long played the full three quarters without a break, nor did they give up the game because their opponents were strong and they had little hope of winning.

And when the fourth quarter started, Meng Yun and Xiang Long returned to the field, and the fans in the auditorium stood up one after another. Whether they were Chinese fans, American fans, or neutral fans, they all stood up in awe. More and more people applaud.

Thunderous applause resounded throughout the arena.

The Chinese team has little hope of winning this game, but people don't care about it anymore, because the Chinese team has done their best, even if they lose, it will be an honor to lose.

Looking at Meng Yun and Xiang Long, the players of the US team also felt a sense of respect in their hearts.

The game is still going on.
"Pick and roll."

Meng Yun called for a pick-and-roll, threw off the defender, broke through, and rushed inside to pass the ball. The basketball flew to Guo Ailun, who was outside the three-point line on the left. Guo Ailun caught the ball and made a three-pointer. .

At this time, Wang Zhelin jumped up with a loud shout, and caught the basketball in the air to make a supplementary dunk, but the landing was not stable, and he staggered and fell to the ground.

He immediately got up, sprinted towards his own half, and threw himself into the defense.

Yi Jianlian received a pass from his teammate, and the defender had already pounced on him. There were only a few seconds left in the attack time. He made a decisive decision and shot a three-pointer. The basketball drew an arc and finally made a hit.

Yi Jianlian is actually not good at shooting three-pointers. He often shoots two-pointers long, but now he has no choice. Contribute to the team.

Entering the last quarter, the Chinese team has let go of their determination to win or lose, but they still have persistence in their hearts, because they still have to defend the dignity and glory of the national team.

If the game is not over, they must take it seriously and go all out.

What everyone didn't expect was that in the last quarter, the Chinese team suddenly burst out with a strong fighting spirit. The players became extraordinarily determined. Every shot was decisive, every fight was very hard, and every defense was very active. .

Meng Yun took the lead. Even though he had played for more than three quarters without a break, he was still running without stopping for a moment. He was helping his teammates defend, grabbing rebounds, defending his opponent, breaking through, and launch a counterattack
"Whoa, whoa"

Under this kind of high-intensity exercise, Meng Yun's physical energy was consumed faster than he expected. He thought it would be no problem to play for 40 minutes with his own physical energy, but he was almost overdrawn before the end of the fourth quarter.

A feeling of exhaustion came from his limbs, his chest seemed to be on fire, every breath he exhaled was hot, he had to open his mouth, wanting to inhale more air.

However, Meng Yun felt happy in his heart. He worked hard, and his teammates also worked hard. They did their best without complaint or regret.

"beep"

Director Gong called a timeout, frowned and said, "Meng Yun, why don't you come down and rest, I'll replace you and Xiang Long together."

As the head coach, Director Gong didn't need to ask for Meng Yun's opinion, but Meng Yun and Xiang Long played more than three quarters, and they were ready to play the whole game. If the opponents are too strong, replacing them without a chance to win is disrespectful to them, because the game has not reached the last moment, and they are still working hard.

Meng Yun looked at Xiang Long: "Can you still hold on?"

Panting for breath, Xiang Long showed a rare smile: "No problem."

"Haha, that's fine, let's continue." Meng Yun smiled and directed to Gong: "Coach, we want to continue playing."

Seeing that the two insisted, Director Gong could only agree. He asked Yi Jianlian again, but Yi Jianlian also said that he didn't want to be replaced, and everyone on the field just now didn't want to be replaced.

The players who didn't play were in a hurry.

"Coach, we want to go too."

"And me, let me go, I'm full of energy."

"You are full of bastards, didn't you just say that you can't do it?"

"I never said that. How can men say that they can't do it?"

Seeing the players scrambling to play, Director Gong couldn't help laughing or crying. Finally, he waved his hand and said that there will be no substitutions. Just the few just now, let's continue playing.

When the game time is getting shorter and shorter, the game has actually lost its suspense.

However, the Chinese team did not give up, and neither did Meng Yun. He was getting more and more tired, and it was difficult for him to guarantee his shooting percentage. He could only choose to break through and make fouls.

Xiang Long is similar.

Unknowingly, there were only a dozen seconds left in the game. The Chinese team made the final attack. Meng Yun took the ball, came to the frontcourt, passed the ball twice, and finally returned to him. There were only three seconds left in the game , James looked at Meng Yun, took a step back, moved his lips, the last ball, you shoot.

Meng Yun smiled and threw the ball.

Swish!
The ball goes in.

drop!
competition is over.

In the end, Meng Yun scored a long two points, reducing the difference between the two sides to 9 points, but the Chinese team still lost after all.

Meng Yun supported his knees and said "thank you" to James. James smiled and opened his arms to give Meng Yun a hug.

The Olympic men's basketball final came to an end. The score was 90:81. The American team won the championship, but people will not forget the Chinese team. The Chinese team left a deep impression on people in this game.
