Halfway through the second quarter. The score on the field was that the Chinese team led the Greek team 40 to 26.
The Chinese team has scored 40 points before the half is over, and the half-time score may exceed 50 points. This shows that in the first half of this game, the Chinese team's offensive efficiency is very high, and the feel is also very good.
Before this, the Chinese team had scored 46 points in the half when they played Spain, and they scored 44 points in the half when they played Angola. In both games, the Chinese team played a wonderful combination of inside and outside in the first half. When the Chinese team played against the American team, they scored 37 points in the first half. In that game, the American team basically relied on their eyes to defend, and the data was not very convincing; and in the game against the German team, the bayonet saw red. During the game, facing the strong defense of the German team, the Chinese team only scored 27 points in the first half, not even 30 points.
If the Chinese team can score 50 points in the first half, it will be equivalent to breaking the half-time scoring record in this Olympics.
In NBA games, scoring 50 points in a half is not difficult to achieve, but one quarter of an NBA game lasts 12 minutes, while each quarter of an international game only lasts 10 minutes. A half-time is 4 minutes less than the NBA. minutes, which is equivalent to about six fewer attacks for each side, so being able to score 50 points in the half is considered a very good offensive efficiency.
The current score of the Greek team of 26 points is a bit low. When the Greek team faced the Spanish team before, they only scored 29 points at halftime, which was even worse than now. When they played the American team, the Greek team scored 32 at halftime. points, which is about the same as now. In those two games, the two point guards of the Greek team, Papalukas and Diamantidis, were restricted by their opponents. This was also a major reason for the low score of the Greek team.
The Spanish team's Calderon and Navarro are very experienced in defending the Greek team. Coupled with the Spanish team's overall defensive system, it is difficult for the Greek team to score; while the American team simply relies on individual abilities. Kidd, Paul and Deron is both a superstar in the NBA, and both are good at defense. Just Papalukas and Diamantidis obviously can't get any advantage.
The situation faced by the Greek team now is somewhat similar to that when playing the US men's basketball team. The Chinese team's overall defensive system is definitely not as good as the Spanish team, but Zhang Guan's personal ability is worse than the American superstar trio. Zhang Guan is younger than Kidd, stronger than Paul, and better than Deron. It is faster and more flexible, and puts more pressure on Papalukas and Diamantidis.
After Dayao scored seven points on the court, he was replaced again. Greek team center Gilidanakis did not breathe a sigh of relief, because the substitute who came on the bench was roughly the same in terms of height, weight and technical characteristics. Similar to him, Gilidanakis still has no advantage.
Coach Yannakis chose to change the formation again. He replaced Gilidanakis and replaced him with Sotsonidis.
Sotsonidis was born in Cameroon and is the only black player in the Greek men's basketball team. He is 2.08 meters tall but weighs 170 kilograms, which is heavier than O'Neal. He was selected by the Los Angeles Clippers with the 34th pick in the second round of 2003, but because of his weight, he has been criticized by coaches and NBA scouts. . Although such a large-tonnage player has certain advantages in attacking inside, it seriously affects his athletic ability.
Coach Yannakis replaced Sotsonidis to play obviously because he wanted to strengthen the offense inside, especially the offense at the basket. But generally facing such a big fat man, he was not at a loss, but showed extremely sophisticated experience.
In the national team, there is also a large-tonnage center, that is Daba. Daba weighed 300 kilograms at his peak, not much inferior to O'Neal. Daba and Daba have known each other for more than ten years and are relatively familiar with each other. , so a set of methods for dealing with large-tonnage centers has been roughly summarized. Yannakis's substitution did not achieve the desired effect.
…
On the sidelines, Coach Yunus gradually showed joy.
So far, Zhang Guan has only directly broken through to score points and made general sports passes in the offense. The tactics of breaking through and passing the ball have not been used yet, which means that the Chinese team still has a trump card. But the Greek team has even sent the big fat man Sotsonidis on the field. It is obvious that all its cards have been used, and it will be difficult for the Greek team to come up with any new tricks.
At this time, the two of them seemed to be playing cards against the Landlord. Yannakis had run out of cards, while Yunus still held a bomb in his hand.
At the eighth minute of the second quarter, Papalukas seemed to be pinched by Zhang Guanhe, who was defending Li Nan, and twisted his foot during the breakthrough. Although he got up and moved around later, it seemed to be okay. But it surprised Yannakis. Yannakis then replaced Papalukas without hesitation and replaced him with combo guard Zikis.
The Chinese team also took this opportunity to launch a counterattack, especially one second before the midfield whistle sounded. Wang Shipeng hit a buzzer-beating three-pointer, turning the score into 52-32. The Chinese team A 20-point lead was achieved at halftime.
"Wang Shipeng! Three-pointer at the buzzer! 20 points! We lead the Greek team by 20 points at halftime!" the commentator roared and shouted, and the audience stood up collectively to cheer for the Chinese team players.
At the end of the first half, the players of the Chinese team walked to the locker room, enjoying the warm applause and cheers of the fans along the way. Even after they had entered the players' tunnel for a long time, the sound was still continuous.
However, the players of the Greek team lowered their heads and left the scene as if they were running away. It could be seen that the Greek team did not want to stay for a minute longer.
In front of the TV, many Greek fans had already changed the channel or simply turned off the TV. Being 20 points behind at halftime was a reason for these fans to keep watching.
…
At this time, the Croatian men's basketball team, which had finished the game in the morning, had already returned to their residence in the Olympic Village.
The game against Iran in the morning was not intense, so even though there was a game in the morning, the Croatian men's basketball team came to the training ground in the afternoon and started some less intense training and tactical explanations.
The Croatian team finished third in Group A. According to the grouping rules, they will face the second place in Group B in the knockout rounds. At present, it seems that the second place is likely to be the Spanish team.
At this time, the Croatian team's head coach Repesa was in front of the tactical board, explaining the Spanish team's tactics and how to deal with them.
The leader of the team hurried over, making Repesa frown in displeasure. It was obvious that he didn't like to be interrupted.
The team leader walked up to Repesa and said: "Coach, I'm very sorry to interrupt you. Some changes have occurred. Our opponent in the knockout round may not be the Spanish team."
Repesa thought for a while and said: "Isn't it Spain? Is it the Greek men's basketball team? That is also a difficult opponent to deal with! What is going on now should be the game between the Greek team and the Chinese team. The Greek team is in first place. They lost to Spain by 15 points in a game. If the Greek team can defeat most of the Chinese team, then they will finish second in Group B and become our opponent in the knockout rounds. Calculating the time, the first half of the game should have been completed. Okay, so the Greek team must be leading China by a big score now? How much did the Greek team win? 20 points? Or 30 points?"
The team leader shook his head, while Repesa showed surprise. He said casually: "It can't be 40 points! The Chinese team is playing at home, and there is a world-class insider like Dayao, so it shouldn't be As for the Greek team leading by 40 points at halftime!"
"The Greek team is not leading, the Chinese team is leading!" The team leader took a breath and continued: "The Chinese team led the Greek team by 20 points at halftime, so now it seems that the Chinese team is very likely to win, and our opponents in the knockout rounds may It’s the host Chinese team!”
"What? The Chinese team leads the Greek team by 20 points at halftime? This is impossible!" Repesa screamed directly.
