I'm really not a 3D player

Chapter 187 Make history and advance to the finals
After the Chinese team advanced to the quarterfinals, they got two days of precious rest time.

The members of the men's basketball team did not let the victory go to their heads, and still worked hard to prepare for the game.

While the Chinese team was fully preparing for the battle, the other knockout rounds were decided one after another.

The teams that advanced to the quarterfinals are: the United States, Turkey, Spain, Argentina, Serbia, Slovenia, and Lithuania.

At the same time, the schedule for the quarterfinals is officially released.

The Chinese team will play against their old rival Spain on September 9.

In the 08 Olympic Games, the Chinese team had a chance to beat the European king Spain, but there was a little accident, which made the Chinese team lose to the Spanish team, which is very regrettable.

This time, the Chinese men's basketball team will seize the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and all members will work hard to prepare for the game, vowing to win the game to make up for the regrets of 08.

……

……

The two days of preparation time passed quickly, and the time soon came to the start of the quarter-finals.

September 9, Ankara National Stadium.

The quarter-final battle between the Chinese team and the Spanish team officially started.

The starting lineup sent by the Spanish team is: Rubio, Navarro, Fernandez, Felipe Reyes, Gasol.

The starting lineup sent by the Chinese team is: Sun Yi, Sun Yue, Zhu Fangyu, A Lian, and Yu.

Head coach Deng Huade adjusted the starting lineup, so that Sun Yue, who is faster and has the advantage of height and arm length, will serve as the starting lineup to defend the opponent's shooting guard.

In this game, the Chinese team changed their playing style and asked the Spanish team to compete defensively.

In the jump ball session, the United Arab Emirates defeated Gasol to touch the basketball first and moved back to the backcourt, giving the Chinese team the first opportunity to attack.

After Sun Yi received the ball, he quickly moved forward.

Rubio did not press forward, but retreated to the three-point line, waiting for Sun Yi's arrival.

Sun Yi dribbled the ball to the top of the arc, glanced at Rubio who was one step away from him, deliberately exposed the ball, and at the same time directed his teammates to move.

Spain's golden boy has just turned 20 at this time, and it is the period of youth and frivolity. This kind of excellent opportunity will definitely not give up.

So, Rubio suddenly started to rush forward and cut the ball.

Sun Yi saw Rubio's actions, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he reacted immediately by slapping the basketball vigorously, dribbling the ball behind his back and changing hands, and broke through the three-point line.

Because the incident happened too quickly, the other players of the Spanish team failed to react, and could only watch Sun Yi make a sudden stop for a mid-range jumper.

Sun Yi did not disappoint the "audience" who paid attention to him, and steadily hit jumpers to give the Chinese team the lead.

The possession of the ball is converted and the Spanish team attacks.

Rubby came to the frontcourt with the ball and frowned slightly when he saw Sun Yi standing on defense near the free throw line.

Not many people know about his poor shooting ability, and he rarely made jump shots in previous games. He tried his best to hide his shortcomings, thinking that the scene in front of him was just a coincidence.

Sun Yi looked at Rubio, who was holding the ball from beyond the three-point line, and at the same time, he paid attention to whether other Spanish players would step forward to pick and roll.

Although the effect of the pick-and-roll near the free throw line is not very good, it still has to be defended.

Seeing Sun Yi's position, Gasol Jr., who was standing near the penalty area, did not step forward to perform a pick-and-roll, but took his defender out of the penalty area to create a breakthrough opportunity for Rubio.

Seeing this situation, Rubio, who was in control of the ball at the top of the arc, knew what his teammates meant, so he could only bite the bullet and break through to the basket.

Sun Yi quickly moved sideways to block, straightening his arms and keeping close to Rubio, while providing physical confrontation.

The Spanish golden boy's physical fitness is not as strong as Sun Yi, and he almost lost the ball after a physical confrontation.

Seeing this, Sun Yi did not cut the ball easily, but forced Rubio to stop.

After Rubio was forced to stop, he hurriedly hugged the ball in his arms, with only one thought in mind, to pass the basketball out as soon as possible.

But his vision was severely blocked, and he didn't dare to pass the ball easily.

The other players of the Spanish team saw this scene and immediately stepped forward to respond.

At the same time, he ran over quickly and flanked Rubio with Sun Yi.

In this case of men plus men, the Spanish golden boy has given up the idea of ​​passing the ball.

In the end, the Chinese team defended against the Spanish team's 24-second violation.

The Chinese fans in the auditorium were extremely excited.

In the past, the Chinese team was defended by other countries and it was difficult to even make a shot. Now the situation is reversed, and there is a feeling of elation.

Returning to the court, Sun Yi quickly dribbled the ball forward. After arriving in the frontcourt, he observed the Spanish team's defensive loopholes and directed his teammates to move.

Rubio, who stepped on the three-point line to defend, learned to be smart this time, and did not try to gamble again.

Stand roughly near the penalty area, follow Sun Yi's instructions, and quickly run outside the three-point line.

Gasol, who was guarding the basket, did not follow out and remained in the penalty area.

When roughly running outside the three-point line on the right, Sun Yi's pass just arrived.

Received the pass comfortably, without making any adjustments, and directly raised his hand to shoot a three-pointer.

The Spanish team's players failed to step forward in time to cover up the defense, giving the Chinese team an opportunity to take an open shot.

Swish!
Hollow into the network!

5: 0!

In this attack, the Spanish team paid the price for their arrogance!

When it was the Spanish team's turn to attack, Lubi Olympic Ball came to the frontcourt. Seeing Sun Yi's defensive position, he knew that his weakness had been exposed.

He knew that it would be difficult to break through Sun Yi's defense with his own strength, so he immediately passed the ball.

Outside the three-point line on the right, as soon as Navarro received the pass, Sun Yue stepped forward to defend him and was unable to make the next move.

Reyes immediately ran forward and blocked Sun Yue's left side.

Navarro took this opportunity to release the ball to start, bypassing the screen and taking a step inside the three-point line, and took off directly to shoot.

Ah Lian, who came from defense, immediately pounced on him and stretched his arms to interfere.

Clang!
The basketball bounced out of the hoop and missed!
Under the basket, roughly occupy a favorable position and get in a good position, grab the defensive rebound, then find Sun Yi's figure, and pass the ball over.

Sun Yi, who was on the fast break, received the pass, accelerated to the frontcourt, came to the three-point line, made a fake bow to shake Rubio away, and then rushed towards the basket.

Fernandez, who retreated to the penalty area, immediately stepped forward to defend, but was knocked back a few steps by Sun Yi abruptly, and the defense failed completely.

Sun Yi rushed to the basket, jumped up hard, and dunked the ball into the basket with one hand.

Looking back, the Spanish team changed their style of play and let Gasol go hard inside.

Roughly relying on his rich experience, he defended this offense and protected the backcourt rebounds.

The Chinese team launched a defensive counterattack again. Sun Yi quickly dribbled the ball forward, and after attracting the defense, he passed the ball to the middle.

Later, Ah Lian, who followed up, received the pass, took a big step, rose into the air, and dunked the ball into the basket with both hands.

There was thunderous applause in the auditorium, and cheers and shouts resounded throughout the arena.

Seeing that the situation is not good, the head coach of the Spanish team, Juan Antonio, immediately requested a timeout and called the players back to the bench for adjustment.

Not long after, the timeout ended and the game continued.

After returning, the Spanish team played a double-screen tactic, and Fernandez hit a difficult three-pointer against the UAE's defense, achieving a zero breakthrough.

Before the players of the Spanish team could recover, the Chinese team's attack quickly struck.

Sun Yi dribbled to the outside of the three-point line, quickly changed his direction in front of his body, then picked up, ignored Rubio's interference, and threw the basketball in his hand.

"Shh!"

The basketball is hollow into the net and hits steadily!
The possession of the ball is converted and the Spanish team attacks.

Ruby's Olympic ball came out of the three-point line, observed the position of his teammates, and then lobbed the ball inside.

Gasol wanted the ball very deep, and basically had no choice but to let Gasol wreak havoc on the basket.

Looking back, the Chinese team played a tacit cooperation.

Gasol was roughly taken out of the penalty area, and the UAE took the opportunity to cut along the baseline toward the basket.

Sun Yi, who was controlling the ball at the top of the arc, quickly threw the ball towards the basket with quick eyes and hands.

Ah Lian, who rushed to the basket, jumped into the air, grabbed the basketball in the air with both hands and dunked it into the basket.

After that, both sides played several beautiful pass and cut cooperation, and the point difference has been maintained within 10 points.

After the first quarter, the score on the big screen was 25 to 17, and the Chinese team led by 8 points.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Sun Yi continued to play, while A Lian, Su Yu and others stayed on the bench to rest.

With Sun Yi's own efforts, the Chinese team successfully passed the rotation stage and did not let the Spanish team recover the point difference.

After Ah Lian, Da Da and others came back, Sun Yi changed his style of play, attracted defensive assists to score, and widened the point difference again.

At the end of the half, the Chinese team led the Spanish team by 56 points 46 to 10.

The short intermission ends and the second half begins.

After the start of the third quarter, the Chinese team played very smoothly under the organization of Sun Yi.

On the other hand, the Spanish team seemed to have a power outage, missing many attacks and making frequent mistakes.

Rubio can be called an undercover agent. He is useless on the offensive end and makes frequent pass errors. He is also unable to guard against Sun Yi on the defensive end and has made no contribution to the team.

The Chinese team seized the opportunity and quickly launched a defensive counterattack, widening the point difference to more than 20 points in one fell swoop.

Seeing this situation, Spain coach Juan Antonio replaced Rubio, who performed poorly, and replaced him with Calderon.

After Calderon came on the field to organize, the Spanish team's offense became smoother, but the defensive end still couldn't prevent Sun Yi, and was suddenly turned into a sieve.

Seeing Sun Yi killing all sides on the field, the head coach of the Spanish team, Juan Antonio, immediately made adjustments and adopted double-teaming measures.

Faced with the Spanish team's double-teaming, Sun Yi felt very happy, and used his excellent passing ability to frequently assist Ah Lian and Da Da and others to score.

Zhu Fangyu, Wang Shipeng and others have a good touch on the outside and hit three-pointers many times.

The Chinese team blossomed inside and outside, and after it opened up completely, the Spanish team's defense was completely paralyzed, further widening the point difference.

After leading by a large score, the players of the Chinese team did not take it lightly, and devoted themselves to the game to avoid a repeat of the incident in 08.

Under the control of Sun Yi, the Spanish team was not given any chance to overtake, and the lead was maintained until the end of the game.

In the end, the Chinese team defeated the Spanish team 95-80 and successfully advanced to the semi-finals of the World Championships.

In terms of statistics, 4 players from the Chinese team scored in double figures.

As the hero of the victory, Sun Yi once again won the honor of the best player of the game.

在上场的35分钟内，得到了36分8篮板7助攻2抢断2盖帽的全面数据。

阿联获得了16分11篮板的两双数据；朱芳雨获得了12分2助攻的数据；大致拿到17分9篮板的数据。

The Spanish team's most outstanding player is Gasol Jr.

In 32 minutes of playing, he scored a double-double of 16 points, 14 rebounds and 2 blocks.

After the game, the Chinese team players on the field and the fans in the audience celebrated wildly.

The domestic fans who watched the game in front of the TV were equally elated and extremely excited.

Dayao, one of the audience members, even cried with joy.

The Chinese men's basketball team reached the semi-finals of the World Championships for the first time, creating history and writing a new chapter in Chinese basketball.

He understands the significance of this very well, and he is even more looking forward to joining forces with Sun Yi to make a big difference in the 12 Olympic Games.

Back on the court, after Sun Yi accepted the post-match interview, he returned to the locker room under the escort of the staff.

After entering the locker room, Sun Yi greeted his teammates one after another, and then went to take a shower.

In the process of washing up, he opened the system panel and received the task reward.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the temporary task: Shining Star World Championship!"

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for gaining the number of defensive attribute points + 5 and 10 training points."

After receiving the reward, Sun Yi opened the personal attribute panel to add points.

Spend 5 bonus times to increase the steal attribute to 78 points.

After adding points, Sun Yi glanced at his attributes, nodded in satisfaction, then turned off the system panel, and took a quick shower.

After taking a shower, Sun Yi changed into casual clothes and returned to the locker room to join the team.

……

……

In the next two days, the other quarter-finals were decided.

The US team beat the Argentine team and successfully advanced to the semi-finals.

The host Turkey team lost to the Serbian team and was unfortunately eliminated.

The Lithuanian team narrowly defeated the Slovenian team and successfully advanced to the semi-finals.

After the match list came out, the remaining four teams paid great attention to it, began to study the opponent's style of play, and went all out to prepare for the game.

……

……

A day later, taking advantage of the momentum of defeating the Spanish team, the Chinese team faced the Lithuanian team.

In this game, the Chinese men's basketball team still played with great momentum.

Under the leadership of Sun Yi, the Lithuanian team's defense line was generally defeated by attacking the city.

In order to limit Sun Yi, A Lian and others from attacking the inside line, the Lithuanian team could only adopt a shrinking defense.

But in this game, the Chinese team's outside touch was hot, hitting a total of 15 three-pointers, which was completely opened up.

Facing the fierce offensive of the Chinese team, the Lithuanian team resisted tenaciously and wanted to wait until the Chinese team's players were exhausted in the fourth quarter and take the opportunity to overtake the score.

But this time the Chinese team has the magic needle of Sun Yi.

When the Lithuanian team was chasing points, he used post-up singles to score frequently and stabilized the situation on the field.

In the end, the Chinese team defeated the Lithuanian team 102 to 88 and successfully advanced to the final.

In the final, the Chinese men's basketball team will face the powerful Dream Nine team.

War is imminent!
