Chapter 1307 Close to the World Cup Finals! (3/10!)
Chapter 1307 Close to the World Cup Finals! (310!)
For Chinese fans, Argentina is obviously an easier opponent than Spain or the United States.
However, the coaching staff and players of the Chinese team don't think so. The performance of the Argentine team all the way is admirable, and reaching the semi-finals is the best proof.
If you still underestimate your opponent by this time, you are really stupid.
Before the game, the coaching staff led the players to focus on analyzing the last group match between Argentina and Cameroon, as well as the match between Argentina and Serbia in the video room.
One was the only game Argentina lost, and one was a game in which they were weaker than stronger.
The coaching staff is fully prepared, and the players' understanding of the team has gone from familiar to profound.
This is a team with a South American style and a team style.
They advocate physical confrontation, and because of their excellent confrontation, they can always complete various difficult goals on the offensive end.
But they love passing the ball very much. Ginobili per capita is not just a joke, it is a basketball concept that has been deeply rooted in their bones since childhood.
If the Chinese team didn't have Tang Tian, there would be almost no chance of winning against such an opponent.
The reason is simple, no one can limit Ginobili before, and now no one can limit Campazzo.
These two people are the absolute core of Argentina.
If Argentina is a sports car, then they are the engine of the sports car.
To put it bluntly, the Chinese team now has Tang Tian, who has the ability to cut off this motivation, and also has the ability to fight Argentina.
As for Scola, if he is separated from Campazzo, or even allowed to play low singles, the efficiency at the age of 39 will inevitably decline, and his physical strength will also be a problem.
Targeted deployment, targeted training.
The Chinese team's full preparation before the semi-finals also gave the players full confidence in this game.
One day later, under the eyes of everyone, the semi-final between the Chinese team and the Argentine team kicked off at the BJ Wukesong Stadium.
The scene was crowded with people, and it was in full swing.
After more than half a month of competition, the World Cup is finally drawing to a close.
And the Chinese team has come to the present as they expected.
From Rio in 2016 to today's home court, the men's basketball team is shaping a spirit similar to the women's volleyball team through two historic World Series performances.
The influence of men's basketball is also destined to receive greater attention and influence.
Now, they are full of expectations, expecting the men's basketball team to make history again.
This can be felt from the deafening cheers that even resounded over the arena during the appearance ceremony.
The national anthem sung at the end of the Chinese team's appearance ceremony was transmitted to the audience's ears through the TV, which resonated with people from the bottom of their hearts.
At this moment, all Chinese fans are proud from the bottom of their hearts.
After the appearance ceremony, the starters of the two teams were released one after another.
Argentina's starting lineup has not changed since the group stage.
Outside Campazzo and Brussino, striker Garino and Scola, center Delia.
The Chinese team also used the starting lineup of the past two games, Fang Shuo and Ding Yanyuhang on the outside, Tang Tian and Yi Jianlian on the striker, and Shen Zijie on the center.
Amidst the cheers of the fans, Yi Jianlian jumped high and turned the ball back to the Chinese team's half, officially kicking off the semi-final.
Tang Tian scored in the frontcourt, and Ding Yanyuhang used Yi Jianlian's pick-and-roll to cut to catch the ball and score a layup.
After so many games, the Chinese team has quite a tacit understanding on the offensive end.
But looking back, Campazzo made a pass that pierced through the defense and passed it to Scola at the basket, who turned around and scored.
These two rounds became the epitome of the previous rounds.
The offensive efficiency of the Chinese team is very good, but they did not limit the offense of the Argentine team very well, especially Campazzo.
The FMVP of La Liga last season really proved his strength to the world through this World Cup.
The NBA has Thomas Jr. at 1.75 meters, and Fiba has Campazzo at 1.78 meters.
The scores of the two teams have also risen alternately, and the two sides have a tendency to develop towards a confrontational battle.
However, when the game was played for about three minutes, the Chinese team took the lead in making personnel adjustments, and Abdul Saramu replaced Fang Shuo on the field.
Judging from Li Chunjiang's expression and the timing of this substitution, the Chinese team did it on purpose.
Obviously, this is a test.
Although I have fought against each other before and analyzed a lot of videos, only the actual combat at this stage can really see things.
Abdul Saramu came on the stage, and Tang Tian swung to the No. 1 position.
He directly linked Campazzo to the inside line and scored a layup.
In terms of height confrontation, two people are not in the same world at all.
The efficient offense of the Chinese team after the opening also made the Argentine team afraid to help defend at will.
Of course, in comparison, offense is not the main purpose of the Chinese team's substitution, but defense is.
All the preparation and training of the Chinese team before the game is to make Tang Tian and Campazzo face each other.
Then, Campazzo's engine stalled.
His speed, wide vision, and quick shots are all his advantages.
But these advantages disappeared after Tang Tian marked him.
The saying that basketball is the game of giants is by no means a saying.
The suppression of height made Campazzo lose his vision, and the oppressive defense made it difficult for him to play the ball.
Not to mention the speed, Tang Tian can defend against Harden and even Paul in the NBA.
In other words, all of Campazzo's advantages were gone in front of Tang Tian, and his height put him at an extreme disadvantage on the defensive end.
Capazzo couldn't organize the offense, and Scola was forced to take the ball and play Yi Jianlian in the low post.
The first goal was scored, but consecutive attacks were missed.
This is also the biggest weakness of this Argentine team, except that Campazzo has no second organizational point.
Ginobili per capita relies on Campazzo sending the first second pass, which then triggers a series of passes.
Now that Campazzo is being choked, the Argentine team's artistic basketball can no longer be played.
After falling into individual combat, they are no better than the Chinese team.
Hernandez saw that the situation was not right and replaced Laprovitola and Dyke.
The former was the MVP of La Liga last season, and the latter is the team's sixth man.
However, Laprovitola's World Cup status was sluggish, and Dyke was also suppressed against Yi Jianlian.
After experiencing a stalemate in the opening three minutes, the Argentine team quickly fell into a disadvantage, and it was completely passive.
Ginobili looked serious on the sidelines. He has realized that Argentina's World Cup journey is likely to come to an end.
After halftime, the Argentine team was already 15 points behind the Chinese team.
In the second half, they significantly increased their defensive strength, and began to press hard on the whole court.
But the Chinese team had already enjoyed this when they played against Australia in the quarter-finals, and they were more calm in coping.
The Argentine team was still unable to narrow the point difference. With two minutes left in the game and a point difference of nearly 15 points, Hernandez called a timeout.
After the timeout, the Argentine team replaced all the main players and replaced the bench players, which also announced the early end of the game.
The same goes for the Chinese team.
When the bench players from both sides played, the cheers of the fans on the scene were completely unstoppable.
The Chinese team has reached the World Cup finals!
They made new history!
