Both sides called a timeout.

Barbosa was very angry at this time. Everything had gone according to his plan after the opening, but he didn't expect Tang Tian to suddenly emerge.

"Coach, let Caio go on."

Barbosa said directly to Magnano.

He didn't say it directly, but Machado was already 37, and his speed was too slow.

Magnano nodded, as the Brazilian team really needed to improve their defensive intensity on the court.

When the timeout returned, the Brazilian team made a substitution adjustment. Caio Torres came on to replace Machado, a small forward who was good at defense.

The Brazilian team attacked to the frontcourt, and Varejão arrived at the free throw line to receive the ball.

A pass from the inside to the inside, Nene squeezed past Yi Jianlian in the inside and scored with a bank shot.

At this time, Nene and Varejão were still at their peak. The strength of the Brazilian team's inside combination was second only to the United States and Spain.

11 to 8, this goal helped the Brazilian team temporarily stabilize the situation on the court.

Tang Tian dribbled the ball in the frontcourt, and Torres defended him closely, not giving him an easy chance to pass the ball.

Tang Tian protected the ball with his back, and suddenly flicked the ball back with his right hand, a bounce pass behind his back!

The so-called passing vision is actually increasing the range of vision for the eyes.

The corner of his eye had already caught Yi Jianlian cutting to the basket.

This pass was caught off guard, and the Brazilian team didn't react until Yi Jianlian received the ball.

But Yi Jianlian had already taken off with the ball.

Varejão saw Yi Jianlian who had already taken off and chose to give way.

"Boom!"

Yi Jianlian's flying dunk!

"Yi Jianlian scores with a dunk!"

Yang Jian shouted excitedly in the commentary booth.

The Chinese fans on the sidelines also waved the various five-star red flags in their hands excitedly.

This dunk greatly boosted morale!

After dunking, Yi Jianlian swung around on the basket before coming down, his muscles bulging, which was quite spectacular.

After landing, he found Tang Tian and vigorously slapped hands.

A perfect play from the Tian-Yi duo!

Barbosa was a little excited at this time, and shouted at Varejão, obviously dissatisfied with the way he had given way just now.

Varejão spread his hands helplessly. He was originally a technical inside player, and it wasn't his style to force that ball just now.

Barbosa was annoyed. When he got to the frontcourt, he asked for the ball to play Yi Jianlian, a quick layup after a continuous change of direction.

That was how he had played Yi Jianlian on the first attack of the game.

"Bang!"

However, Yi Jianlian's body had already opened up at this moment. After the speed increased, his long arm swung out, directly giving Barbosa a chase-down block!

Before Barbosa could react, Yi Jianlian had already taken down the defensive rebound.

The Chinese team directly launched a defensive counterattack, with Tang Tian and Wang Shipeng both cutting in.

Sun Yue looked at Wang Shipeng in the fast break and made a feint, then turned and gave the ball to Tang Tian.

Tang Tian took the ball and saw that Torres hadn't followed, so he directly took a three-pointer in transition.

The ball spun in the air, drawing a perfect arc.

"Swish!"

It went into the net.

13 to 11!

After Tang Tian hit his second three-pointer, he also helped the Chinese team overtake the score!

The fans at the scene were extremely excited, and the five-star red flags in their hands shone brightly.

Strong, too strong.

Before, against Spain, Tang Tian showed off his master-level passing skills. Today, in this life-and-death battle, he had continuous steals and three-pointers.

As expected, a player who has won the NBA championship is different!

Tang Tian deserves the name of leader!

The Chinese team's continuous momentum, wave after wave, was like Tai Chi internal strength, making the Brazilian team a little overwhelmed.

At the end of the half, the score on the court was 41 to 31.

Including the 9 points behind at the start, the Chinese team had essentially scored 41 to 22 against the Brazilian team after the timeout!

A 19-point difference!

"Do something, guys!"

In the locker room during the halftime break, Barbosa shouted at his teammates.

Although the Brazilian team's record had been bad before, if they hadn't been defeated by those two buzzer-beaters, they would now be third or even second in the group.

But in this game, they played too badly in the first half.

In his memory, there hadn't been a worse half than this!

They were actually beaten like this by the Chinese team!

You must know that after Yao Ming retired, their second team could easily beat the Chinese team.

The Brazilian team members looked at each other at this time.

In the first half, it seemed that Barbosa himself had the most shots and turnovers...

When the second half returned, both sides made starting adjustments.

On the Brazilian side, Torres replaced Machado, and on the Chinese side, Wang Shipeng replaced Chen Jianghua.

The Brazilian team's offensive possession.

Nene was posting up in the low post asking for the ball, but Barbosa, who was holding the ball, didn't give it to him, instead choosing to directly break through Sun Yue and forcing a shot into the paint.

"Bang!"

Yi Jianlian didn't hold back, rushing out and giving a block party!

After the ball was blocked, it fell directly into Tang Tian's hands.

Tang Tian flicked the ball to Sun Yue, who was fast-breaking. Sun Yue sprinted to the frontcourt and directly scored with a layup for another 2 points.

It could be said that Sun Yue was the most comfortable playing in the national team's new tactics, as the fast break was what he was best at.

The point difference came to 12 points!

Nene was a little unhappy at this time. Although Barbosa was the team leader, his touch wasn't good in the first half, and he was still playing like this in the second half, which was a bit too chaotic.

This was a life-or-death battle for qualifying!

In the Brazilian team's next offensive possession, Barbosa still didn't give the ball to Nene, choosing to force his own shot.

He shook off Sun Yue, but Tang Tian predicted this ball and directly helped defend, snatching the ball from his hands.

The Chinese team launched another fast break. Tang Tian's transition three-pointer didn't go in, but Yi Jianlian, who was following up, directly scored with a one-handed put-back dunk!

The point difference came to 14 points!

The Chinese fans on the sidelines had already started whistling!

Awesome!

It turned out that they also had a day when they could beat the Brazilian team!

Moreover, look, your first team is being beaten by us, so it's self-evident what happened when your second team was hitting people!

It was obvious that you guys couldn't win, so you resorted to petty tricks, which caused the brawl!

Nene was unhappy at this time and said a few words to Barbosa.

Barbosa was already playing depressed, and he also replied to Nene with a few words.

The two of them looked like they were about to argue.

Magnano, who was on the sidelines, saw that the situation was not right and quickly called a timeout.

When the timeout returned, Nene was replaced to rest, and Splitter was substituted on.

Splitter set a screen for Barbosa, and Barbosa slipped past Yi Jianlian for a layup.

However, he had been blocked continuously before, and his state wasn't good. The ball slipped out of the basket after the shot.

Splitter and Yi Jianlian were battling for position, and Tang Tian rushed in to grab the defensive rebound at this time.

Barbosa saw that Tang Tian had grabbed the rebound, and immediately reached out to steal it.

Tang Tian had already raised the ball over his head.

Barbosa jumped up and down in place, unable to grab the ball. Filled with anger, he directly shoved Tang Tian.

Yi Jianlian saw Tang Tian being pushed and immediately came up to confront Barbosa.

However, Tang Tian put down the ball at this time and pulled Yi Jianlian back.

"Calm down, calm down, we are an ancient civilization, we play ball very civilly."

Tang Tian turned around and said to the referee in English.
