Chapter 63: Mr. Big Heart, 30+10, once again defeats Spain!
"One of the top five shots of this Olympics!"
"From the moment he received the ball, Zeng Zhen used his absolute speed to get past Calderon!"
"After that, Zeng Zhen changed direction again without slowing down and got past Navarro."
"Under the basket."
"Zeng Zhen effortlessly battled Pau Gasol under the basket!"
"Finish with a superb layup."
"Zeng Zhen made an extremely impressive layup at the Olympics."
"Speed, rhythm, competition!"
"It's all full!"
"China is leading Spain by 10 points at halftime!!"
Zhang Weiping, on the commentary stand, screamed hysterically.
Along with Zhang Weiping's emotional outburst, the fans watching the game also shared in his excitement.
Whether in front of their TVs or at the stadium, fans were watching the replay.
"Crossing over a person is like crossing the street."
"Haha, the Spanish players just watched Zeng Zhen score."
"There's something going on tonight."
"With Zeng Zhen on the team, the Chinese team's matches are full of energy."
"Although Spain didn't look to be in good form today, it's still amazing that they're leading by 10 points."
The fans are discussing it heatedly.
In the locker room.
Zeng Zhen sat in his seat wiping away sweat with a towel. Yao Ming, sitting next to him, handed him a bottle of water: "Zhen, your last attack in the first half was brilliant."
Wang Zhizhi, standing to the side, laughed and said, "They can't stop your one-on-one attacks at all."
The Chinese players could feel Zeng Zhen's strength on the field; they felt that Zeng Zhen often broke through Spain's difficult defense.
"Not bad." Zeng Zhen laughed heartily.
Jonas excitedly came over and gave Zeng Zhen a hug.
Jonas knew very well how strong Spain was, and he never imagined that the Chinese team he coached could now lead Spain by 10 points.
Although the atmosphere in the team's locker room was great, Zeng Zhen knew very well that the second half would be the real challenge tonight.
as predicted.
Spain intensified their attack and defense after the start of the second half.
Navarro kept hitting mid-range and long-range shots, Fernandez, who came off the bench, kept attacking the basket and drawing fouls, and Rubio orchestrated the offense for the entire Spanish team.
Due to fatigue, the Chinese team struggled defensively, frequently leaving gaps in their defense.
Zeng Zhen and Yao Ming would occasionally step up to help the team score.
Although Spain did not launch a spectacular comeback, they played steadily and, with 5 minutes and 11 seconds left in the fourth quarter, the score was tied at 71-73, with China holding only a two-point advantage.
After Sun Yue made a passing error, Spain had a chance to take the lead.
The ball quickly reached Pau Gasol in the paint.
Pau Gasol blew past Yi Jianlian in one step, paused under the basket and tried to shake off Yao Ming, but failed. He tried to lay up again but was blocked by Yao Ming.
With Yao Ming on the court, it's very difficult for any All-Star caliber center to gain an advantage when they get to the basket.
Sun Yue controlled the basketball, dribbled it across half-court, and then passed it to Zeng Zhen.
Rubio closely marked Zeng Zhen, preventing him from getting off the field. Zeng Zhen waited until Yao Ming was in position before lobbing the ball high into the air.
Yao Ming grabbed the basketball with one hand and held it high, leaning against Marc Gasol to observe. Pau Gasol then came over to double-team him.
Yao Ming passed the ball back to Zeng Zhen.
Rubio kept making subtle movements to pull Zeng Zhen away. Zeng Zhen made a probing step to the left, drawing Rubio's weight to the left. Then Zeng Zhen placed the ball on the right and burst away from Rubio in one step.
Navarro continued to provide defensive support, and Zeng Zhen made a high-speed change of direction, pulling the ball from the right to the left while simultaneously dribbling past his opponent.
With Yao Ming clearing the area under the basket, Zeng Zhen's next move was simple: adjust his footwork, push off the ground, and take off!
He catches the basketball with one hand, performs a 360-degree spin in mid-air, and scores with a layup after a long aerial loop.
"Wow, this rhythm!"
"That core strength is amazing."
Zeng Zhen's layup once again drew cheers from the fans.
Jonas on the sidelines applauded, Zeng Zhen's movements were not only flashy but also practical.
Next round.
Rubio and Pau Gasol executed a pick-and-roll, Zeng Zhen was screened, Rubio drove in, drawing a double team from Zhu Fangyu and Sun Yue, and Rubio passed the ball without looking to Fernandez in the corner.
Fernandez had an open look, and he launched a three-pointer that went in!
"A pass from the Spanish golden boy."
"The score is tied."
"Let's see how they play next."
Zhang Weiping was somewhat worried.
China's attack saw Sun Yue dribble the ball up the court.
Zeng Zhen was running with the help of Yi Jianlian and Yao Ming's screens, and received the ball on the left side of the 45-degree three-point line, facing Rubio's defense.
Rubio's defense remained tight, denying Zeng Zhen opportunities for three-pointers and explosive speed, making it difficult for Zeng Zhen to shoot directly or dribble past him.
So Zeng Zhen started dribbling against Rubio's defense.
The move involved a series of crossover dribbles combined with feints to break through defenses.
Zeng Zhen's change of direction was extremely wide, and Rubio tried to steal the ball but couldn't.
Zeng Zhen bent down and pulled the ball to the right. After a slight pause, Rubio's center of gravity was drawn to him. Zeng Zhen then slapped the ball to the left, bumped Rubio with his shoulder, and used the momentum to step back.
Rubio lost his balance, staggered... and fell to the ground!
"Oops, it's fallen over."
"A humiliating moment for the Spanish golden boy."
Zeng Zhen looked down at Rubio, who was also looking at Zeng Zhen. Rubio struggled to get up.
Just as he got up, Zeng Zhenyang pushed the ball into the three-pointer.
The basketball traced a beautiful arc.
"Whoosh."
Chinese fans watching the game once again enjoyed Zeng Zhen's mesmerizing dribbling performance.
Rubio is a Spanish golden boy who has been famous all over the world for a long time!
But Zeng Zhen knocked him down.
"Zeng Zhen is so tall and dribbles so well, how are those shorter guys supposed to compete?"
"Rubio must hate Zeng Zhen to death."
"This series of dribbling and step-back transitions is absolutely brilliant."
"Textbook-perfect one-on-one moves."
"Haha, he's fallen flat on his face. The European golden boy is nothing special."
The Spanish coach on the sidelines wiped his sweat; Zeng Zhen, such a lethal weapon, is hard to defend when he goes berserk.
"Double-team him!!" Pau Gasol yelled at his teammates, "Don't let him play like that!"
In the next possession, Rubio was clearly affected by his emotions. After setting a screen with Pau Gasol, he shook off Zeng Zhen and drove at high speed toward the basket. Rubio was too eager to finish the play himself, and Zeng Zhen came up behind him.
"Snapped!"
Zeng Zhen was very tough and delivered another block to Rubio, allowing Yi Jianlian to control the rebound!
"You're too slow," Zeng Zhen said, looking down at Rubio.
"Hmph!" Rubio ignored Zeng Zhen, who made him feel very troubled.
"Zeng Zhen has a strong ability to disrupt guards on the defensive end. Getting past him doesn't mean everything is fine," Zhang Weiping exclaimed. Zeng Zhen is now incredibly effective on the international stage.
On the field, Yi Jianlian passed the ball to Zeng Zhen.
Rubio continued to try to steal the ball, and Zeng Zhen advanced into the frontcourt with his back to goal.
Navarro came to double-team, and Zeng Zhen passed the ball to Sun Yue.
Sun Yue dribbled the ball and drove in, while Yi Jianlian came out to set a screen for Zeng Zhen.
Sun Yue's breakthrough threw the Spanish defense into disarray, and Sun Yue calmly passed the ball to Yao Ming in the paint.
Yao Ming was a little too far from the basket, and his angle wasn't good, so he passed the ball to Zeng Zhen, who had moved to the right corner.
Zeng Zhen received the ball while running, and Navarro, who was marking him, did not lose his position.
Zeng Zhen ignored it!
Taking advantage of his height, Zeng Zhen drifted to get the ball and made a three-pointer.
Navarro almost forced Zeng Zhen into a negative angle, but that pressure wasn't too much for Zeng Zhen.
Basketball is like a knife!!
"Whoosh!!"
Hit the bullseye!
Spain was consistently outmatched by the Chinese team.
Ultimately, the result of the match was 79 to 85.
Jonas and Chinese fans were very satisfied with Zeng Zhen's performance. Zeng Zhen not only orchestrated the team's offense during regular time, but also showed great composure in crucial moments.
