Chapter 690: Has the corner-camping tactic failed?
"Wang Xiucheng scored 18 points and had 6 assists in the first half."
In CCTV Sports' live broadcast room, Yu Jia and Yang Yi are analyzing the first half of the game.
"Actually, we can clearly see from the first half that there is still a gap between us and world-class teams."
"The fact that the score was maintained was entirely due to Wang Xiucheng's individual ability."
Yang Yi then said seriously, "But Wang Xiucheng's stamina is not unlimited."
"Fans who know Wang Xiucheng must know that Wang's time requires a huge amount of physical exertion."
"During Wang Xiucheng's time, he dribbled the ball, scored, assisted, and stole..."
"That's why we often see Wang Xiucheng crouching in the corner during NBA games."
“Our team is different from the Nets. Wang Xiucheng needs to handle the ball more and direct the team more.”
"What the others need to do is seize every opportunity and make every shot they're supposed to make."
"That's how we'll have a chance."
Yu Jia checked the time and said, "The second half of the game will start soon. Let's rest for a bit and come back right away."
After a short break, the second half of the game soon began.
Perhaps recognizing the physical disparity, the German players began to intensify their physical confrontations.
This forced the Chinese team players to expend more energy on physical confrontations, resulting in an uncontrollable drop in their shooting percentage.
Even though Wang Xiucheng found open shots one after another, the Chinese team still missed several shots.
Fortunately, the situation is similar in Germany; with physical exertion taking its toll, a drop in accuracy is inevitable.
Germany only scored 22 points in the entire third quarter.
China only managed 19 points.
Germany once again took a 3-point lead in the quarter, bringing the score to 77-71.
Wang Xiucheng sat on the bench, took the water but didn't drink it.
He was panting, and after he calmed down a little, Wang Xiucheng picked up the bottle and crushed it.
The water in the bottle gushed out and splashed onto Wang Xiucheng's face.
Stimulated by the cold water, Wang Xiucheng gasped for breath again.
The team doctor kept massaging Wang Xiucheng's shoulders from behind to help him relax.
"Xiao Wang, take a two-minute break. You play position one. Don't make any mistakes and try to run down the clock."
Guo Shiqiang said to Guo Haowen.
He knew that Guo Haowen was not up to the task of this kind of competition, but Wang Xiucheng needed to rest at this time.
The fourth quarter began quickly.
Wang Xiucheng, sitting below, had stopped panting.
Ben Sullivan pulled up a chair and sat behind Wang Xiucheng, whispering, "Remember what I said?"
Wang Xiucheng did not respond to him, but he still nodded slightly.
Sullivan spoke with Wang Xiucheng after an NBA regular season game this season.
"Your teammates on the Chinese team don't have Durant's abilities, and they don't even have Royce or O'Neal's abilities."
"When you get to the international stage, you'll meet a really strong team, I'm not talking about South Sudan."
"Your corner-camping tactic is likely to fail."
"You must find a solution, otherwise the Chinese team will have a hard time at the Olympics."
Wang Xiucheng's response at the time was, "Then I'll just keep holding the ball!"
Tonight, Wang Xiucheng spent most of his time handling the ball, which caused him to waste a lot of energy on physical confrontations.
Bang!
On the field, Schroder and Wagner suddenly double-teamed Guo Haowen, who had the ball.
Guo Haowen failed to pass the ball in time, and Wagner intercepted it successfully, scoring with a powerful solo dunk.
After scoring two points, Wagner deliberately circled halfway around the advertising boards on the Chinese team's side, constantly giving Wang Xiucheng a provocative look.
It seems to be asking, "Why aren't you playing?"
Wang Xiucheng looked at him expressionlessly.
Three minutes later, Guo Shiqiang woke up Wang Xiucheng.
He couldn't give Wang Xiucheng any more time.
At this point, Germany was leading 85-75, a 10-point advantage!
With a beep, Guo Haowen used a foul tactic against Schroder.
The referee gestured to the scorer's table that a substitution was possible.
Wang Xiucheng, David Muoka, and Yang Hansen took the field.
With the addition of Li Kai'er and Cui Yongxi on the court, the Chinese team fielded a lineup capable of shooting three-pointers.
Schroder made both free throws, extending the lead to 12 points.
Li Kai'er passed the ball to Wang Xiucheng, who slammed the ball to the ground and then dribbled it forward.
Yang Hansen ran from the inside to the outside to set a screen, and Wang Xiucheng passed the ball directly to Yang Hansen, then went around Yang Hansen and entered the inside.
Yang Hansen, who had caught the ball with one hand, suddenly flung it to the ground.
With a thud, the basketball bounced off the ground and landed behind Schroder.
Wang Xiucheng grabbed the basketball and jumped up, slamming the ball into the hoop with a loud thud.
The scouts in the stands lit up once again.
Yang Hansen's pass was just like Jokic's!
Bang!
After the German team returned, they missed a shot, and the rebound was passed to Lee Kyle by Yang Hansen.
Li Kaier dribbled the ball twice and passed it to Wang Xiucheng, who was not far away.
Wang Xiucheng dodged Schroeder with a crossover and then threw the ball to Schroeder, who hadn't had time to retract his grip.
With a swish, the basketball went into the net!
The referee seemed to hesitate for a moment, but finally blew the whistle.
With a whistle, the referee pointed at Schroder and gestured that Schroder had committed a defensive foul.
Schroeder was furious and started wagging his finger at his coach, demanding a challenge.
But the German coach remained unmoved.
He was very close to the ball and saw it clearly. Even if Wang Xiucheng deliberately drew a foul, Schroder's arm did indeed go into Wang Xiucheng's cylinder.
The chances of this call being overturned are slim.
Even though he knew Schroder had already committed four fouls!
This is the hidden danger of excessive physical contact!
With a whoosh, Wang Xiucheng advanced to the penalty area.
Three points scored successfully.
After Wang Xiucheng came on, he scored 5 points in a row.
With the score at 87-80, the Chinese team has narrowed the gap to 7 points.
Herbert gestured to Schroeder, signaling him to stay calm and stop committing fouls.
If Schröder is forced off the field due to five fouls, then Germany will have a very difficult time in the following matches.
Like the Chinese national team, the German national team also has a significant gap in ability between its starters and substitutes at the number one position.
If we encounter a top-tier point guard like Wang Xiucheng, we'd probably get completely crushed!
The game continues.
The match was played intermittently, with breaks in between.
Finally, the last two minutes have arrived.
Germany still leads by 8 points, 95-87.
China's ball possession.
Wang Xiucheng brought the ball to the frontcourt, but instead of setting a screen, he used a fake to shake off Schroder, and then took a step back and shot a three-pointer.
Bang!
The ball didn't go in.
Yu Jiahao held off Theis and managed to flick the ball to Li Keer.
Lee also stepped back to the three-point line, pretending to shoot, and after faking Wagner, he put the ball in the paint.
Theis bypassed Yu Jiahao to block Lee Keer, who then passed the ball to Yu Jiahao in the paint.
Yu Jiahao slammed the basketball in with one hand, easily scoring two points.
Wang Xiucheng, who was at the top of the arc, clapped.
A very beautiful attack.
If there's one position on the Chinese team that's no weaker than the German team besides themselves, it's the small forward position, played by Li Ke'er.
Although Wagner Jr. is stronger than Lee Keir, Lee Keir has more experience, and with his unpredictable rhythm, he can still do a lot on the field.
Germany's attacking turn.
Schroder passed the ball to Wagner Jr., who used his speed to break through and create space for Leekel before stepping back and shooting.
The basketball swished and went into the net.
98:89.
Wagner roared silently at Lee Keir, even showing off his biceps!
But the next moment, the basketball whooshed over his head!
