Garcia's layup was contested by Yi Jianlian and missed, with Yi Jianlian also grabbing the rebound.

Back on the other end, Tang Tian made a turnaround fadeaway jumper despite being double-teamed.

With half a quarter gone, the score was 14-6.

FIBA games are different from NBA games, with only ten minutes per quarter.

In the NBA, scoring over 100 points is common, and teams can even reach 120, 130, or even 140 points.

However, in international games, the time is shorter, and the players' abilities are relatively lower, so getting 70 or 80 points in a game is already a very high score.

The Chinese team scored 14 points in this half quarter, and they looked like a completely different team compared to their previous games, or what everyone remembered.

And even more unbelievably, all 14 points came from Tang Tian alone!

Magnano called a timeout.

If he didn't call a timeout to figure out how to defend Tang Tian, Tang Tian might really explode and beat the Brazilian team all by himself.

"Double-team, everyone double-team! Don't worry about the other Chinese players. Everyone just do one thing on the court: stop Tang Tian from scoring!"

Magnano roared at the Brazilian players.

Even if the opponent was Michael Jordan himself, he couldn't let him score so肆无忌惮 anymore.

After all, Tang Tian was strong, but he was just one person. The other players on the Chinese team were too weak.

On the Brazilian side, Magnano was gesticulating and shouting, while on the other half of the court, the scene was completely different.

The person arranging the tactics was not coach Li Nan, but Tang Tian.

"They will definitely double-team me more thoroughly when the timeout ends. You must be ready to catch and shoot, believe in yourselves, don't be nervous, just like we usually train."

Tang Tian's tone at this time was completely coach-like, and even like a godfather.

The other players nodded one after another. Although Tang Tian was not old, his ability and the way he spoke naturally made them feel at ease.

"Zhou Peng, Kelan Biek, get ready to go on. Remember what I said, stay relaxed, like in training."

He was really the coach, even making the substitutions himself.

After arranging these, he pulled Yi Jianlian aside for a few words.

"They may not be able to make the shots, you and I will run a pick-and-roll. See the situation and cut inside or outside, you have to score first."

Yi Jianlian nodded after listening. After all, he was now an NBA rotation-level player, and his mentality and ability were the best in the Chinese team besides Tang Tian.

When the timeout ended, both sides made substitution adjustments.

Zhou Peng and Kelan Biek replaced Zhai Xiaochuan and Zhou Qi on the Chinese side, while Giovannoni and Neto replaced Varejao and Huertas on the Brazilian side.

In the first offensive play after the timeout, Neto broke through Zhao Jiwei and charged into the paint.

However, Yi Jianlian's help defense was very good, directly blocking the shot and grabbing the defensive rebound.

The Brazilian team still failed to score.

Zhao Jiwei dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and passed it to Tang Tian.

Tang Tian took the ball and glanced at the Brazilian team's defensive formation. It was even more exaggerated than he expected. They were going for a five-man double-team.

He signaled Yi Jianlian to come up for a high pick-and-roll, and after the screen, he broke towards the inside.

The Brazilian team executed well. The five people were like a big pocket, and after Tang Tian broke in, they closed the mouth and surrounded Tang Tian directly.

The cheers from the crowd were about to erupt. Tang Tian was the only one on the Chinese team who could score. As long as they defended him, the Chinese team would be finished!

However, just as the Brazilian team's pocket formation was shrinking, the ball drilled out from the gaps between the players and flew straight to the three-point line at the arc.

Tang Tian had predicted this. His excellent vision and top-notch passing ability made the ball, as if it had a head, fly to the position Tang Tian wanted to pass to.

Yi Jianlian landed there after the pick-and-roll.

A wide-open opportunity!

The three-point line in international games is closer than in the NBA. This position was just a big two-pointer for Yi Jianlian.

Moreover, in the NBA, he rarely had such a good shooting opportunity.

The ball was released quickly. This was the improvement he had made after receiving guidance from Tang Tian and training himself. The Brazilian players didn't have time to get back on defense at all.

"Swish!"

With a crisp sound, Yi Jianlian's three-pointer went in cleanly!

17 to 6!

The Chinese team widened the gap to double digits!

This was also the first time someone other than Tang Tian had scored for the Chinese team!

On the Brazilian team's offense, Barbosa and Nene cooperated, breaking through and passing the ball back to Nene, who made a mid-range shot over Zhao Jiwei, finally helping the Brazilian team break their scoring drought.

But back on the other end, Tang Tian passed the ball out of the double-team to Yi Jianlian, who followed up, squeezed past Giovannoni, and slammed the ball heavily into the basket with both hands!

19 to 8!

After Tang Tian, Yi Jianlian also scored 5 consecutive points!

The fans in the arena were restless.

Because of the two missed shots at the beginning and Tang Tian's strong performance, they had forgotten that the Chinese team also had Yi Jianlian!

Yi Jianlian was an NBA rotation-level player. His current strength was not necessarily worse than old Nene!

Magnano reached out and rubbed his forehead. He felt like he had two big heads now. One Tang Tian was enough for him to handle, and now there was another Yi Jianlian.

Uncomfortable! Wanted to cry!

Neto broke through to the basket again, but this time Kelan Biek's help defense was very timely, directly interfering with his layup.

The current lineup on the Chinese team was one big and four small. When Tang Tian was training defense before, he implanted the Warriors' set.

Although the individual abilities were limited, through mutual help defense, the defensive ability of this lineup of the Chinese team was obviously better.

Tang Tian continued to break through in the frontcourt, and the Brazilian team resolutely implemented the double-team.

However, the difference was that they left one person to defend Yi Jianlian, and the double-team of the other four people was also faster and more thorough.

Tang Tian passed the ball to Zhou Peng in the corner out of the double-team.

Zhou Peng caught the ball and shot a wide-open three-pointer.

"Swish!"

Clean and decisive.

After all, he was someone who had participated in the 2012 London Olympics.

Compared to others, he was considered a veteran, and he had experienced many big occasions!

22 to 8!

The point difference had reached 14 points!

There was an uproar in the arena.

Not only Tang Tian and Yi Jianlian, but a third person from the Chinese team had stood up to score!

Wagner Nano felt his head explode.

Was this the Chinese team?

Was this the Chinese team he knew?!

Since the timeout, the Chinese team had scored another 8-2 against the Brazilian team!

"Come on! Brazil!"

Under the lead of the on-site DJ, the fans began to cheer for the Brazilian team in Portuguese.

In the cheers, Barbosa's beautiful footwork swayed past Zhao Jiwei again, successfully dodging Yi Jianlian's layup.

However, the ball he shot was directly blocked out of bounds by Kelan Biek's help defense!

Kelan Biek roared excitedly after the block, this was the momentum of young people!

The Chinese fans in the arena whistled excitedly.

Domestic fans were dancing excitedly in front of the TV.

The Chinese team was completely on the rise!
