Braised Eggplant with Minced Pork

Chapter 1301 World Cup Quarterfinals!

The Cameroon players on the court were stunned.

The fans at the arena were stunned.

The fans in front of their TVs were also stunned.

But on the sidelines, Cameroon's coach, Senassi, had a look of excitement on his face.

Tang Tian passing the ball out at the end meant that the Chinese team had no hope left.

Although the other Chinese players had been feeling good before, the key ball was different, and without a strong mental fortitude, it was impossible to make that kind of shot.

Not to mention that Tang Tian had passed it to Ding Yanyuhang, who was 3 for 9 tonight, feeling ice cold!

The commentators Su Qun and Zhang Weiping were both speechless.

Zhang Weiping was especially stunned. Based on his understanding of Tang Tian's NBA career, Tang Tian would never pass in such a critical moment.

But reality differed from what he imagined, and by quite a bit.

However, just when everyone was confused, Tang Tian, after passing the ball, had a relaxed expression.

He suddenly felt that if James had death assists like him, he would understand why he liked to pass the ball at the last moment.

Ding Yanyuhang didn't expect Tang Tian to pass the ball to him, but with little time left, he had no choice but to shoot.

And at the moment of shooting, his confidence soared, and he felt that this ball would definitely go in!

The ball passed its highest point, and the final buzzer sounded.

This ball was the one to decide the fate of both teams.

And just then, someone noticed that Tang Tian had already raised his hands in advance.

Just like Klay Thompson celebrating for Curry in the NBA.

Harden, James, Thompson, Tang Tian was channeling them all tonight!

"Swish!"

A crisp sound.

The arena was momentarily silent, the crisp sound of the ball entering the net echoing throughout the stadium.

What a sweet sound.

The next second, the arena was filled with roaring cheers from the fans!

"The ball went in! China has made it to the top eight of the World Cup!"

In the commentary booth, Su Qun shouted in a hoarse voice, almost jumping up.

China won 97-86 against Cameroon by 11 points, and the net score went from -15 to -4, while Cameroon went from +5 to -6.

China advanced as the second team in the group with a net score advantage of 2 points, edging out Cameroon!

"Good shot! Good shot!"

Zhang Weiping held his chest, only able to shout these two words he was best at.

This roller coaster ride was too exciting for the old man.

The Chinese team's bench was also in an uproar, and the players rushed onto the court like crazy.

Ding Yanyuhang, who had just made the key shot, was picked up by his teammates and thrown into the air.

Ding Yanyuhang also screamed in the air. He had been cold the whole game, but he made the key shot at the last moment.

Tang Tian looked at his crazy teammates and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

In the past, he was always the one making the buzzer beaters, but watching his teammates make them, that feeling wasn't bad either.

Embiid and Siakam looked at the Chinese team celebrating, their eyes filled with unspeakable loneliness.

They had been winning since the start of the World Cup, but they never thought that they would miss the top eight after the last group match.

Who could they even reason with!

Group I was indeed the group of death.

The Chinese team finished celebrating, and the two teams exchanged the final handshake.

Embiid quickly returned to the locker room after completing the handshake.

Tang Tian talked a lot with Siakam, and also said a lot of encouraging words.

Like, you guys should play well in the qualifying round, and if you get the best result in Africa, you can play in next year's Olympics, and then work hard in next year's Olympics.

He was now the owner of the Pelicans, and Siakam was a core rotation player for the Pelicans, and he didn't want the latter to lose confidence because of this game.

This kind of big competition has a big impact on the player's mentality.

Siakam had a good attitude, and everything Tang Tian said was the truth.

Although they didn't make it to the top eight of the World Cup, their chances of getting an Olympic qualification were still very high.

After all, with the group stage results carried over to the qualifying round, they had only lost one game.

When the members of the Cameroon team had all left the stadium, Wukesong was already plunged into a sea of celebration.

The Chinese team's players did not leave immediately, but stood on the court with the fans to enjoy this moment of victory.

Cheers and whistles rose and fell.

After entering the top eight, the Chinese team equaled their best result in the World Cup/World Championship in 1994.

On the online forums, fans had already started a big carnival.

"Tang Tian is awesome! (Broken voice) God Ding is awesome! (Broken voice) The Chinese men's basketball team is awesome! (Broken voice)"

"I have no regrets in this life to be born in China! I wish to be reborn in the Chinese family!!"

"The men's basketball team is really fighting for glory, looking forward to them creating history, winning the World Cup, and offering a great gift for China's 70th anniversary!"

"Absolutely possible! Group I was underestimated, Cameroon lost a game and missed the top eight, and Argentina and China, who advanced, only lost one game! Full of gold content!"

"The next game is against Australia, kill them! Kill Bogut!"

"Australia and Asia will be merged in the future, and Australia will be our main competitor in the future, we must beat them, not to mention Bogut!"

"What's wrong with Bogut?"

"He mocked Sun Yang, making racial remarks, this kind of person must be beaten to death!"

"Damn, then we must beat him, beat him to death! Australia plays so dirty, we must abuse them to death!"

"The Chinese team will win!"

……

At the post-match press conference, Tang Tian and Ding Yanyuhang attended with Li Chunjiang.

"Are you worried that Xiao Ding will miss the last shot?"

A reporter naturally asked Tang Tian about the final pass.

"No, I believe he will definitely make it."

Tang Tian replied easily.

"But it was such an important ball, and Xiao Ding's feel wasn't good before. If he hadn't made it, would that have been a lot of pressure?"

The reporter pressed.

What the reporter didn't say was that if Ding Yanyuhang hadn't made it, then not only Ding Yanyuhang would have been criticized, but Tang Tian might have been as well.

After all, you are a world-class superstar, but you chose to pass at the last moment.

"There are no ifs, are there? Xiao Ding made the shot at the end, that's the fact."

Tang Tian said with a smile, his face written with the big two words [Confidence].

The reporter originally wanted to follow up, but felt Tang Tian's confidence, nodded, and sat down.

Ding Yanyuhang looked at Tang Tian at this time with a very different look.

As one of the three NBA players in the Chinese team, he actually carried a lot of pressure.

After all, unlike the Pelicans, he only needed to show himself in a limited amount of time in the Pelicans.

But in the national team, his performance was part of determining the fate of the team.

It was precisely because of that pressure that he had been out of shape since the official start of the World Cup.

But this buzzer beater tonight gave him great confidence.

Just like Wang Shipeng's buzzer beater against Slovenia, it was likely a ball that changed his career.

ps: Morey made Hong Kong independent remarks, which is very silly, support his resignation, and there will be related plots in the subsequent books.
