Chapter 932 The Basket Is Covered, the Situation Is Critical

It seemed that this start was not dreamy enough. Yunas' timeout had just been called and he was about to use his experience to stabilize the situation. However, in the first round back, the Chinese team still failed to score!

Tonight, the basket of Wukesong Stadium seemed to have a lid on the Chinese team. A season peak attracted two people and then the ball was passed. Dayao shot a shot within the range. The basketball hit the inner back edge of the basket hard. Everyone who has played basketball knows that the ball that pops up from that position will usually fly high and far. However, the Chinese team rushed to the inside in order to grab the rebound. Ji Feng was flanked by two Croatian players, and the rebound was blocked by guard Popovich. Take it off!

Fast break!

"Do it!" Ji Feng expected that they would not be able to get the rebound. He was just about to speed up and return to defense. Mark Thomas, who was guarding him, slowed down Ji Feng with a small movement and kept hitting Ji Feng with his body. The confrontation was very fierce.

Typical Croatian defense!

Jonas on the sidelines frowned more and more. Croatia's defense was too targeted tonight. In addition to catching the Chinese team off guard with its overall defense, it also defended Ji Feng very well. Their team's top scorer Mark Thomas almost seemed to be pulling Ji Feng to blow himself up. He had a murderous look on his face when he defended. This kind of defense would give everyone a headache.

Popovich took the ball and successfully completed a fast break under the cover of his teammates, scoring two more points!

"Injury, it hurts so much!" Su Qun's expression was not very good either. The Chinese team had just called a timeout for this goal. As a result, the Chinese team not only failed to score, but allowed Croatia to succeed in a fast break again, and the point difference continued to widen. , then this timeout is completely in vain!

"What the Chinese team needs to solve most now is not defense, but offense. If you can't score on offense, others can always seize the opportunity to play fast break, so you can't defend!" Yang Yi was also a little anxious. It was already 11- 2, this is definitely the worst start to the Chinese Olympic Games so far!

The fans in the stands could not sit still. Many fans stood up and shouted cheers, and the DJ also started to lead the fans to shout defense. This is usually a situation that only occurs in the fourth quarter.

But the game was still developing in the direction that the fans least wanted to see. Here the Chinese team changed their tactics. Ji Feng and Yu Yu started the pick-and-roll. As a result, Ji Feng was double-teamed by two people in an instant, Mark Thomas and Damir Marko. Go straight to Ji Feng and ignore the general situation at all.

It is very dangerous for Ji Feng to take action at this time, because there is almost no room to take action. After all, Damir Marko has 213cm, and Mark Thomas also has 202cm. With these two people standing in front of him, strong shots are rare.

But Ji Feng still caught the gap beautifully. The basketball flew out of the gap and directly found the gap, a three-point shot opportunity!

Take action!

boom!

Smash the basket and get out!

"OH NO! What the hell is going on!" The fans in the stands were originally excited, but in the end they just held their heads in their hands with disbelief on their faces. They couldn't make a shot. What a shame!

The bouncing basketball was once again captured by Croatia, and the anxious Liu Wei could only commit a tactical foul to block the fast break.

But after serving from the center line, Croatia once again played a beautiful pick-and-roll. Planinic took the ball and went straight to the basket, succeeded in a strong hit, and even caused a foul on Dayao's thug!

2+1!

Croatian players are going crazy!

"COMEON!" Mark Thomas went up and hit his chest crazily, and the bench exploded. This penalty kick marked the 14-2 start. This was definitely a crazy start. They had completely taken the initiative!

The Chinese team's disadvantage is already huge. They only scored two points in the first 5 minutes. They are likely to set an embarrassing first quarter scoring record.

"Hehe, I said it, the Chinese team is not in the group stage due to its strength. The only ones they can rely on are Ji Feng and Dayao. Once the connection between these two people is cut off, the Chinese team will be revealed. You see, That's what it's like." Pippen said on the ESPN commentary desk, looking like he had seen through everything and wanted to be nicknamed Pippen.

Well, maybe he can form a combination with Barcelona's Pique...

But for now, what Pippen said makes sense. After all, the score speaks for itself. The Chinese team has indeed been beaten for a while.

TNT next door naturally has a different view. Barkley believes that the Chinese team's problem is shooting percentage.

"Man, I've been playing basketball for decades, so you're going to have those nights where no matter how hard you try to put the ball in the basket, it's always going to reject you, and that's normal, and no one does that. So awesome every night." Barkley said: "Well, maybe Ji Feng is an exception, he is a monster."

"But what I want to say is that this situation is normal, but it is also difficult to solve, because it is difficult to say how to stop this kind of thing. Maybe it will not come back for the whole game, maybe it will come back in the next second, so the Chinese team Keep up the good work, especially Ji Feng, man, it’s time to step up."

Barkley's words did not make Ji Feng's fans happy, because as he said, there is really no way to solve this thing, it just depends on fate.

However, I have to say that Croatia's tactics were appropriate, and their defense made the Chinese team's already bad feel worse and worse.

At this time, Ji Feng could no longer distribute the ball. He forced a breakthrough from the top of the arc, causing Thomas to foul, and then took the sideline ball and directly hit a magical three-pointer. The Chinese team finally regained Ji Feng's score.

But Croatia's offense is still fierce. Unlike the Chinese team, their offensive shooting rate is too abnormal. Thomas actually made an incredible mid-range shot under Ji Feng's personal defense.

Even Ji Feng was surprised by this goal. He had already blocked his eyes, and Thomas couldn't see the basket at all. It was another pull-up, which could also go in!

After that, the Chinese team missed again in the sports battle. Dayao made a strong attack under the basket and resisted Rojic, but was rejected by the basket!

Fortunately, he was alert and successfully tipped the ball in with one hand, allowing the Chinese team to score two more points.

"The basket is covered! Who can stand this? The Chinese team must quickly find their own touch!" Director Zhang said. He was extremely nervous. If it weren't for the commentary, he wouldn't be able to watch anymore.

At the end of the first quarter, the Chinese team only scored a pitiful 10 points, while Croatia scored 25 points, giving them a 15-point lead in a single quarter. This is not what the media reported before the game.

This is the first time that the Chinese team fell behind in the first quarter of this Olympic Games, and it fell behind so much that many fans were afraid to continue watching.

In the second quarter, the Chinese team replaced Sun Yue and Arab League, but the problem of poor touch was still not solved. Croatia's defensive success rate has remained at a high level.

For a period of time, the Chinese team could only rely on Ji Feng's scoring to help the Chinese team survive. Ji Feng scored 5 points in the first quarter and 13 points in the second quarter, but the Chinese team still fell behind 26-46 at halftime. A full 20 minutes!
