728. Hope and disappointment
After the 15-minute break, the players on both sides will naturally return to the basketball court, whether it is the Chinese men's basketball team or the Slovenian men's basketball team, they must make all preparations at this time.
However, when the Slovenians walked back inside the basketball court and watched the score of 44-39, they couldn't help but frown.
After all, the backwardness of the first half of the game will indeed cause them, at least their mood is very bad, and even in the locker room before, the overall atmosphere is very silent.
For Slovenians, in the face of such an unexpected situation, they are indeed a little unprepared, and even feel a little helpless.
However, no matter what, now for the Slovenian men's basketball team, they must resist, after all, they are not in a good situation in this group stage.
If they can't find a good ranking in the group stage, then they may have to face the United States men's basketball team, known as the dream team, or the Spanish men's basketball team, the host team of this World Cup, in the first round of the knockout round.
Either of the previous two is something they want to do, so they will have to do better in the group stage.
That's the most important thing, which is why they were so attentive to tonight's game, even after falling behind for the entire first half, the Slovenians still tried their best to catch up with the deficit.
Because of the current situation, they really can't afford to lose, after all, there are only 5 games in the group stage, if they lose 2 of them, and they lose 2 games first, then for the Slovenian men's basketball team, the next three games will not only make them Alexander, but at the same time, for Slovenia, even if all three games are won. It's also hard for them to compete for a good spot.
As mentioned earlier, if they can't get a good place in the group stage, then the Slovenian will have to face the United States or the Spanish men's basketball team in the first stage of the knockout round......
So at this time, for the Slovenians, of course, they don't want such a thing to happen.
So, the second half at this moment is their only hope, and they need to take advantage of such a chance.
So looking at such a glaring scoreboard at this time, the Slovenians will not feel happy anyway.
The expression of composure is what everyone in the Slovenian men's basketball team feels at this moment. Of course they weren't happy about such a gap in the scoreline, so they would do everything they could to try to close the gap after the start of the second half.
As for whether the Chinese men's basketball team will give Slovenians such a chance, it is unknown.
But come to think of it, as an opponent, how could the Chinese men's basketball team give the Slovenians a chance to play in the second half.
They can't create opportunities for themselves, how can they pity their opponents. What's more, in the eyes of the Chinese men's basketball team, they are also dissatisfied with such a score.
In this way, although the second half of the game has not yet begun, the two sides are bound to be in such a situation. It's time for each to try to play harder.
Whether it is the Chinese men's basketball team or the Slovenians, they want to be at a disadvantage at this time, so they will definitely be in the second half of the game. Each went to do the last fight of the game.
Compared with the Chinese men's basketball team, there is no doubt that the situation of Slovenians is more critical now, so they will also feel more anxious.
The Slovenian even wants to be able to start the second half of the game. played a wave of high chao to directly smooth out the 5-point disadvantage, or even overtake.
It's a beautiful fantasy, and for Slovenians, they know it's a little too good.
If you want to play the Chinese men's basketball team by surprise, it is difficult to complete it under the premise that the opponent is fully prepared, but no matter what, whether it can succeed or not, the chance of success is not great, for Slovenians, they have to do their best to try it.
Otherwise, if they are asked to give up like this, then they will definitely not be reconciled.
The second half of the game quickly kicked off after players from both sides showed up and returned to the basketball court.
As the side that fell behind at this time, the Slovenian men's basketball team was the first to get the opportunity to kick off, and they certainly had to grasp the right to attack the first attack in the second half.
Dragic, who continued to play the role of point guard at this time, did not seem to be affected by the opening game, but when he dribbled the ball past half court and faced the tall Wu Dawei, people still noticed that his body was still a little shaky.
It seems that his body subconsciously has a feeling for Wu Dawei, obviously judging from the first half of the game, Wu Dawei's defense still has a great impact on Dragic.
And as for how big this impact is, only Dragic himself knows, but at this time, as the core player of the Slovenian men's basketball team, Dragic knows very well that he can't retreat at this time.
Facing Wu Dawei's open arms like an octopus, he knew that if he and his team wanted to win this game tonight, then crossing such an arm at this time was the first thing.
Because it is Wu Dawei's crazy performance that enables the Chinese men's basketball team to suppress the Slovenians at this time, Dragic is also very clear that as long as he can break through this obstacle, then the hope of the Slovenian men's basketball team to win tonight will be greatly enhanced!
For the Slovenian men's basketball team, this is of course a good thing, but Dragic is also very clear that it will not be easy to do this.
But as the leader of the team, Dragic naturally knew at this time that no matter how difficult it was, he had to shoulder such a mission.
So when he met Wu Dawei for the first time in the second half, Dragic didn't hesitate, he tried to break through directly.
In the first half of the game, when facing Wu Dawei. Dragic felt so much pressure that he couldn't be at all calm at that time.
Thinking too much naturally made him feel more hesitant, so, naturally, he failed, and when facing Wu Dawei's defense, Dragic began to fail frequently.
And now, when Dragic and his Slovenian men's basketball team are starting to be cornered, the critical situation obviously can't afford them to think so much.
So, when facing Wu Dawei this time. Dragic didn't think much more about it, but launched the attack directly after half-time.
In the arc of the center circle, his assault was so sudden that even Wu Dawei was a little unresponsive, after all, the second half of the game had just begun, and for many people, at this time, they were still in a state of not entering the game.
Especially as a player of the Chinese men's basketball team, Wu Dawei naturally feels a little bit like this at this time, so at this time. Dragic's breakthrough did make him feel a little surprised.
And it was precisely because of such a situation that Dragic directly forced through Wu Dawei's defense, and then directly killed in the paint area.
As the only player in the Chinese men's basketball team who played in the NBA league, he was able to defend the rest of the Chinese men's basketball team after Dragic's breakthrough. For Dragic, who is the core of the Phoenix Suns, it seems to be nothing!
The second half of the game had just begun, and Dragic used a very fast breakthrough to directly tear apart the defense of the Chinese men's basketball team. The gap in the score has been narrowed.
44 to 41!
The gap in the score came to 3 points, which is not good news for the Chinese men's basketball team at all. Because in the second half of the game, their defense was torn apart by the opponent.
This is undoubtedly a very bad situation, and for the Chinese men's basketball team, they certainly don't want such a thing to happen at the beginning of the second half of the game.
However, this goal was exciting for the Slovenians, and although they were still behind, Dragic made them feel very good when facing Wu Dawei this time.
Because in the first half of the game, Dragic performed extremely badly whenever he faced Wu Dawei, and now, after 15 minutes of correction, it seems that everything is going to change differently.
For the Slovenians, who have been looking forward to this match, this is certainly a great thing.
They like it to happen, and for the Slovenians, such an event seems to indicate that they still have a chance to survive in the second half of the game.
After all, the Slovenian men's basketball team is 3 points behind at this time, and such a gap is of course very good news for Slovenians.
Next, the question is how they will face the attack of the Chinese men's basketball team, Wu Dawei, who has just lost the ball, as the core of the Chinese men's basketball team, will definitely not give up.
The problem is that there is no player in the Slovenian men's basketball team who can compete with Wu Dawei, which is a very important thing.
This means that Wu Dawei can crush his opponent in the game unscrupulously, in the first half of the game that ended before, although the Slovenian may be very reluctant to admit it, but this is the most cruel reality!
So at this time, for the Slovenian men's basketball team, this seems to be an unsolvable problem, but no matter how unsolvable this problem is, at this time, the Slovenian men's basketball team still has to do its best to try to limit Wu Dawei's attack in the next round.
Because they now see a glimmer of hope, and naturally hope that it will continue.
After conceding the ball, the players of the Chinese men's basketball team immediately became solemn, obviously, because they felt the smell of danger.
Therefore, as a veteran in the team, Liu Wei did not hold the big at this time, nor did he mess with the rhythm, but directly after passing the half court with the ball, he chose to hand it over to Wu Dawei to deal with.
At this time, of course, Wu Dawei also stood up as a deed, for the previous goal, he felt surprised, but also felt very unhappy.
So at this time, for Wu Dawei, of course, he hopes that he can help his team at this time to regain the lead and bring the lead back to the original 5 points in this attack.
At this time, when Wu Dawei held the ball, the Slovenians felt a huge pressure coming, because they had hope for the game, so at this time, of course, they were more afraid of being deprived of such hope by their opponents.
So at this time, even if they were worried about Wu Dawei's court ability, the Slovenian still did his best to stop Wu Dawei's attack this time.
However, Wu Dawei is also determined to get the score gap back for the team at this time, so this time the offense and defense are bound to produce an extremely fierce collision.
So at this time, everyone's eyes were firmly focused on Wu Dawei's body at this time, and Wu Dawei, who took the ball from Liu Wei's hand at this time, although he knew that he was bound to face the opponent's key marking at this time, but for Wu Dawei, he had nothing to worry about.
For Wu Dawei, after winning three consecutive championships, his self-confidence has reached its peak, and now in his eyes, it is clear that no one can be better than himself.
Naturally, there is no one else who can defend himself.
So when Wu Dawei held the ball in the front court, he didn't give everyone too much time to wait, but directly launched an attack, which was very simple and rude.
Because there is no one in the Slovenian men's basketball team who can pose a threat to Wu Dawei, Wu Dawei is simply unscrupulous when attacking.
He attacked directly, just like Dragic before, and did not intend to leave any time for the opponent to react, Wu Dawei was in the half-court position of the Slovenian men's basketball team, like a thick, strong and crazy lightning that swept the whole court.
While the Slovenians were still looking forward to this defense, Wu Dawei had already used a strong dunk that broke through into the paint area to help the Chinese men's basketball team reopen the score gap to 5 points.
It is exactly the same as Dragic's previous way, but compared with the previous Dragic's blue, Wu Dawei's violent dunk is undoubtedly more exciting! (To be continued......)
