Vol 3 Chapter 158: Advance to the final

After the three quarters, the two sides fought. The Chinese team withstood the opponent's counterattack in the third quarter and expanded the score to 8 points.
　　Although there is still a game not played, the 8 points difference does not determine anything. However, the current situation is quite favorable for the Chinese team.
　　 The Iranian team’s offense did not show the integrity and has always relied on the personal abilities of Haddadi and Jamsidi. But these two people are not insoluble. Although Haddadi played very strong at the basket, he is also a 32-year-old veteran after all. In the next few minutes, he can clearly feel that he has been exhausted. The reason why Jamsidi was so dazzling in the last game was that he made a big contribution with 6 of 7 3-pointers. But in this game, his three-pointers were not accurate. You can only score closer to the basket.
　　 So their offense is greatly restricted. Moreover, it could not stop the Chinese team's scoring.
　　 They always wanted to deal with it, but they couldn't deal with An Luo completely. They can only involve a lot of defensive power to limit An Luo, but relax other players. They seemed to be caught in a vicious circle. As long as An Luo didn't get off the court, they would be unable to break free.
"We must continue to maintain focus and enthusiasm, and don't slacken! The defense must be stronger, the rotation must be fast, and the opponent must not be allowed to run. The offense must be firm and decisive. Guo Ailun, you must pay attention to the situation on the court. , Don’t go up, hand the ball to the person in the best position. Anluo, you have to keep running and seize every opportunity to score. Of course, continue to lock up Ahazali..." During the intermission, Du Feng began the final mobilization. He exhorted each player a few words individually, and finally said firmly to the players: "Guys, we need a championship so much! We have to show everyone that the Chinese men's basketball team can achieve good results. Come on. Come on! Defeat Iran and reach the final!"
　　 Since the 2015 Asian Championships, the Chinese men's basketball team has indeed fallen into a trough. A champion can make everyone regain the invincible momentum they had years ago. This is indeed a very important thing for the current Chinese men's basketball team.
　　 Of course, Du Feng himself also understands that this Asian Cup is different from the previous one. It is quite difficult to defeat Australia in the finals. But it is not completely hopeless. The confidence and performance of the players is a very important factor in determining the game.
　　The victory over Iran is the most morale-boosting thing. With high morale, confidence and performance will naturally be good.
　　 When it comes to the championship, everyone in the room sighs. Most of the players here have grown up listening to the news that the Chinese men's basketball team won the Asian Championship. Of course An Luo is also included. However, in the past two years, everything has been unfavorable. He has continuously set the worst record in various competitions and lost his position as the dominant player in Asia. The faces of these men's basketball players are quite dull. Even this time the Asian Cup, everyone's expectations are only 3-4. The feeling of being underestimated is really unpleasant, but what can be done! It's really bad.
　　 Even before the semi-finals with Iran began, online discussions began to discuss whether the Chinese team could defeat New Zealand to win a medal.
　　 This may not be ironic to them. Maybe everyone is really happy. After all, there is only half of the national team, and such results are good enough. But in the hearts of these players, they are looked down upon. Is there anything more unacceptable than being looked down upon by your own people?
　　 So everyone sighed. Now that Du Feng has been so excited, Iran has become a sufferer.
　　 At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Chinese team played very aggressively. Especially Guo Ailun and An Luo are particularly eye-catching. Of these two guards, one is full of impact and the other is extremely lethal.
　　 Under the cover of his teammates, the eldest nephew kept on attacking the opponent's inside line, using his speed and flexibility to disrupt the opponent's line of defense. Especially the pick-and-roll cooperation between him and Hu Jinqiu made the Iranian team quite difficult in defensive principles. Change the defense, the big man can't keep up; don't change the defense, and the best defense time is delayed.
　　 In short, it is difficult to deal with. And there is an An Luo who has been unable to deal with it. The head coach of the Iranian team can only sigh up to the sky: why such a player suddenly appeared!
　　 In the last quarter of the game, Anluo was more active than before. As soon as he came up, he took advantage of Li Gen's cover and hit a long two-pointer. Then he quickly dropped the pass from his elder nephew and scored a chasing three-pointer. Although Iran's Jamsidi broke through the penalty zone and scored a goal, the point difference was still opened to double digits.
　　 The Iranian team is very tough. After all, it's up to this point, and no one wants to lose. Haddadi began to use CIC frequently to end the offense. The physical exertion is too great, and he can no longer squeeze into the basket. Masayahi and his eldest nephew were basically in a mutually explosive situation. In the second half of the game, he performed better than Jamsidi.
　　 At the last minute, Iran was still 10 points behind. But they still did not give up. Jamsidi took advantage of Lee Gen's untimely defense and made a three-pointer after receiving a pass from Masayahi~EbookFREE.me~ to reduce the point difference to single digits again.
　　 This made them see hope again. But then An Luo completely killed the game with a long three-pointer.
　　 is still the big nephew who breaks the ball, but Lee Gen, who catches the ball, did not make a direct shot. Jamsidi posted directly, and the sudden physical confrontation made him lose his rhythm. The ball can only be thrown to An Luo, who is further away.
　　 After An Luo received the ball, time was running out. Without even thinking about it, he just pulled it up and shot it. Anyway, within one meter of the three-point line, it's his range.
　　 Yahachari did not actually lose his position, he just didn't expect that at such a critical moment, An Luo would dare to shoot nearly one meter from the three-point line. However, his reaction was not slow. When An Luo took off, he also jumped up, and then desperately extended his right hand to interfere with An Luo's shooting.
　　 If the ball is defended, the Iranian team can further reduce the score to 5 or 4 points with about 50 seconds left in the game. The hope of turning defeat into victory is great.
　　 Unfortunately, this goal was scored!
　　The point difference between the two sides has returned to double digits, and the Iranian team has completely lost hope of winning.
　　In the end, the Chinese team defeated the Iranian team. Successfully advanced to the final of this Asian Cup.
　　 At the moment when the final whistle sounded, the players of the Chinese team hugged in excitement, jumping and jumping, very happy.
　　 At this moment, everyone is enjoying the joy of victory. And the Iranian players on the other side of the court are another scene.
