Chapter 335 Time to Prove Yourself

In fact, in terms of lineup, Argentina and the national team are very similar, both taking the path of combining internal and external, but the difference is that Argentina's overall strength is stronger, while the national team has more prominent star players.

It is an undisputed fact that strong overall strength is better than outstanding individual abilities. In any first-level league, there is no shortage of examples of overall victory over individuals, but this refers to a "single-core" team. When a team has more than one core player, they tend to be more difficult to defend!

Argentina's defense encountered such troubles. It was difficult for them to defend Shi Lei. To complete the defense against Shi Lei, they had to accumulate more than two defensive players. However, they couldn't give up Yao Ming on the inside.

With both of them there, the rest of the national team got a lot of chances.

However, the point difference between the two teams did not widen the gap quickly.

In defense, the national team's performance was not very good. Defending Ginobili distracted Shi Lei from a lot of energy, leaving him no time to assist in defending the interior, which also gave Scola a lot of opportunities.

However, unlike the national team's offense, Argentina's offense was a little more complicated, which caused them to make several mistakes. The national team seized the opportunity and gained a five-point lead at the end of the first quarter.

The temperament of a core player often determines the attributes of the team he is in. Although Shi Lei has only joined the national team for a short time, his successive victories have made him more or less attached to the team. Some influence also infected this team with some of his characteristics.

It may be because of working hard all the way from the bottom to finally achieve the current achievement. Shi Lei has the kind of tenacity that belongs to the "grass roots", just like weeds, they never give up any chance to live!
This kind of "tenacity" is not found in the "Pride of Heaven". They are too lacking in the baptism of wind, frost, rain, dew, scorching sun and cold.

In the second quarter of the game, the national team did not have the slightest carelessness because of the lead, they put the same focused energy into the game.

The second quarter of the game was almost a replica of the first quarter. Neither of the two teams could effectively restrain the opponent on defense. Almost all offenses ended in mutual explosions. The luck of the "mouse" caused several offensive mistakes by the opponent, thus at the end of the second quarter, the lead was extended to nine points!

The victory is getting closer and closer to the national team, and the fans at the scene feel more and more uncontrollable in their hearts. You must know that the decision of this game will be an Olympic silver medal, or even a gold medal!

This is a dream of many years, a breakthrough pursued by generations!
"At the end of halftime, the national team leads the opponent by nine points. On the way to the final, the national team temporarily takes the lead!"

Director Zhang tightly held the microphone in his hand, and broadcast the good news to fans across the country with a sonorous and forceful voice.

Director Gong's voice was also extremely high-pitched at this time: "The national team has achieved the biggest goal they set before. They have achieved the biggest breakthrough in the Olympic history of the national team, but the current situation is still strong for us. We have firmly grasped the advantage on the field. From the first second of the game, we have never been behind. I don’t think we will fall behind in the following games. The boys of the national team will not allow such a situation. When the situation happens, we may soon see the brightly colored national flag rising high on the podium of the Olympic Games!"

How many years of dreams, how many years of expectations, no one wants to miss it, not the fans, nor the players, and the leaders!

At the end of the halftime game, the teammates of the national team pushed open the door of the locker room, and saw the leader of the State Sports General Administration waiting there, and it was a big leader!

They're good at messing with these guys, but boosting morale, these guys are also good at it!
"I want to send my congratulations to you first!"The voice of the leader was majestic and deep: "You have created the most brilliant achievements in the history of the national men's basketball team. I am deeply encouraged. This also inspires every basketball player and every compatriot!"

The leader's voice gradually became louder, and his fists clenched tighter: "This is a glorious moment, and it is also a moment worth celebrating, but we still have a chance to go one step closer. The people of the whole country are also looking at you, looking forward to Watching the Olympic podium, the raising of the national flag, and the playing of the national anthem, so boys, you have a greater mission waiting for you to complete."

Bigger mission?In fact, if he doesn't come here, none of the people here are willing to give up such an opportunity. One Olympic Games has to wait four years, how many four years are there in life?How many four years of passionate youth can be squandered?No one wants to miss out!

At the beginning of the second half of the game, the Argentine team adjusted their defensive strategy. When they couldn't defend at both ends, they compressed their defense into the three-point line to guard against Yao Ming, and at the same time strengthened their control over rebounds.

This kind of defense is suitable for teams that are weak on the perimeter. The national team's shooting has always been good. When testing their shooting ability, they did not lose the chain. Zhu Fangyu's two consecutive three-pointers were less than 2 minutes away at the beginning of the game. Argentina stopped when it was time.

At this time, the difference between the two sides has been expanded to twelve points.

After the timeout, Argentina's defense was adjusted again. When the opponent's outside touch was good enough, they let go of their strict defense against the inside this time, and spent more energy on defending the national team's outside.

This was the Argentine team's desperate struggle, and it put all the pressure of the game on Shi Lei's shoulders!
Carrying the victory and defeat of a team and the expectations of compatriots in a country is a huge pressure, and Shi Lei instantly felt the heavy weight on his body.

However, Shi Lei got excitement from this weight!

He has never forgotten that when he chose the path of basketball, what he wanted was to be the most eye-catching person on the court!
Shi Lei's face became more dull than ever, and his eyes also emitted an unprecedented cold light!
It's different, it's really different, in the NBA, even in the finals, Shi Lei didn't realize that there is such a surge of power in his body, it seems to be a destructive force that will die if it doesn't explode!
"Shi Lei, it's time to prove yourself!"

In his heart, Shi Lei shouted to himself!
