Chapter 65: Taking Over the Game! 3+ 1 Against All Odds

The third quarter ends.

The Spanish team narrowed the gap to just 7 points.

The hearts of audiences across the country were hanging in the balance again, staring at the TV screens nervously, not daring to look away for a moment.

The fourth quarter begins.

Both teams directly fielded their full main lineups.

Both coaches were well aware that the first few minutes of this quarter were critical.

For the Spanish team, overtaking the score at this time will establish a huge psychological advantage, and they will be able to handle the second half of the game with ease.

For the Huaxia team, maintaining the leading advantage is the most important thing, otherwise everyone's confidence will be greatly affected.

The Spanish team took the lead in attacking.

Rubio broke through Liu Wei and made a layup, helping the team narrow the gap to 5 points.

"Viagra, I'll be the one defending Rubio later!"

Jiang Chen said seriously, his expression becoming serious.

Rubio played an indispensable role in the smooth offense of the Spanish team.

His contribution on the defensive end is the most critical factor for the team to catch up.

Therefore, if you want to suppress Spain, you must start by restricting Rubio.

Liu Wei nodded. He also knew the limit of his strength and it was difficult for him to keep up with Ruby. Letting Jiang Chen to defend was the best choice.

The Chinese team attacks.

After Liu Wei dribbled across half court, he passed the ball to Jiang Chen, and at the same time he and Jiang Chen completed a pick-and-roll.

After the switch.

Jiang Chen faced Rubio's defense.

Rubio had a resolute look on his face, with a strong fighting spirit in his eyes.

It's time to regain the face lost in the first half.

His eyes suddenly became sharp and he rushed forward to steal the ball.

Jiang Chen reacted quickly, and Lei Ming's dribbling speed was even faster. He slightly stepped sideways to avoid Rubio's steal.

The aggressive tackle also caused Rubio to lose his defensive position.

Jiang Chen seized the opportunity and shot a three-pointer.

The basketball drew a high arc.

Swish.

Hollow into the net.

The audience began to cheer wildly again.

The three-pointer just now was so powerful that it stopped the Spanish team's counterattack in time.

"Steady! Jiang Chen's performance was really stable at the critical moment."

Yu Jia couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

"Our Chinese men's basketball team is lacking a player with a big heart like Jiang Chen."

"Yao has the ability to be the team's attacker at critical moments, but when it really comes to the critical moment, Yao can't even catch the ball most of the time, which is very helpless."

Yang Yi shook his head and said, with a hint of helplessness in his tone.

It's a tragedy that China, as big as China, doesn't even have a point guard who can pass the ball to Yao Ming.

Even though Liu Wei is the best player in China at passing the ball to Yao Ming, he still cannot fully activate Yao Ming.

Moreover, from the essence of basketball, big men can dominate the court, but it is difficult for them to get shooting opportunities at critical moments.

Players who can dribble and attack independently will play a more important role at critical moments.

Now, Jiang Chen plays this role.

Although he does not have the ability to break through, his stable dribbling and changes in rhythm still allow him to create shooting opportunities under defense.

For a top pitcher like Jiang Chen, this is enough.

The Spanish team attacks.

Ruby Olympic ball passed half court.

Jiang Chen stood at the three-point line, two body lengths away from Rubio.

Prevent breakthroughs, not shots.

He is well aware of how weak Rubio's shooting ability is.

After entering the NBA, Rubio was abandoned by many teams because he did not attack, and he wandered throughout his career.

He was even affectionately nicknamed "Lu Yizhong" by fans to make fun of Rubio's shooting level.

Poor offensive ability, no matter how strong his organizational skills are, has not allowed Rubio to enter the ranks of top point guards in the NBA.

That's why Jiang Chen dared to stand nearly one meter away from Rubio.

The audience at the scene was stunned.

Just let Rubio shoot?

Rubio was also furious when he saw this.

This... is too disrespectful.

He didn't hesitate and shot a three-pointer.

BANG!

The basketball bounced out of the basket.

The audience's eyes lit up.

Hey, it really didn't get in. This is a bit magical.

Dayao protects the rebound.

The Chinese team fell into a positional battle.

Jiang Chen faced Rubio with the ball, dribbled continuously, stepped back and shot another three-pointer.

Swish.

Another hit.

Rubio's face turned completely gloomy, and he felt that his defense was completely ineffective against Jiang Chen.

The most important thing is that he couldn't see the dribbling trajectory of the Chinese player clearly, and it was difficult to judge his next offensive intention.

This is very uncomfortable.

The Spanish team attacks.

Rubio frowned as he watched Jiang Chen leave him alone again.

Faced with this extremely provocative defense, it was impossible not to shoot.

But I'm really not sure if I can vote!

His self-confidence was disappearing bit by bit.

Navarro ran to the top of the arc, met Rubio in time, and made a three-pointer after receiving the ball.

BANG!

Blacksmith.

The Chinese team fought back.

Jiang Chen received the pass and used the call tactic again, switching defense with Liu Wei and facing Rubio's defense.

With Yi Jianlian's high screen, Jiang Chen took a step sideways and deliberately looked down at the three-point line.

When he found that both his feet were outside the three-point line, he calmly shot the three-pointer.

Rubio bypassed Yi Jianlian and tried his best to defend, but he was still a step too late and could only watch Jiang Chen throw the basketball.

But he used too much force and couldn't control his body in the air, and hit Jiang Chen's wrist with a "snap".

Swish!

The basketball went into the net.

Jiang Chen also fell to the ground.

Court hearing.

Rubio committed a hand foul.

Jiang Chen's goal was valid and he also scored an extra penalty.

The stadium fell into a brief silence, followed by cheers that were enough to blow the ceiling off.

Rubio stood there blankly, looking down at his hands, his face full of frustration, and his eyes were lifeless.

"pretty!"

Dayao ran over excitedly and gave Jiang Chen a big hug.

This goal was both domineering and inspiring.

The rest of the teammates also gathered around and patted Jiang Chen excitedly.

Stand at the free throw line.

Easily hit the free throw.

He scored 10 points in a row and led the team to a 10:0 climax, widening the score difference to 15 points again.

beep!

The head coach of the Spanish team called a timeout, rearranged the tactics, and then replaced Rubio with Calderon reluctantly.

"This substitution by the Spanish team is not very wise! Although Rubio was beaten by Jiang Chen, he can be protected through help defense. He still plays a big role in the team's offense and defense on the court."

"Substituting Rubio out of the game like this is a big blow to his confidence."

Anthony frowned and said, somewhat confused.

"No! The substitution by the coach of the Spanish team was very timely. On the contrary, he was protecting Rubio."

"Rubio has lost his confidence after being beaten by Jiang Chen, and he even seems to be unable to play basketball anymore."

"We can't let him be tortured by Jiang Chen any longer."

"Losing a group match is nothing, but if the team's main point guard loses confidence in playing, this loss is too huge."
