Chapter 527: The Right and Left Hand of Victory and Defeat
Durant is crazy!
Purely in terms of strength, Durant is weaker than Tang Shuai who used a single consumption package at this time, but after all, he is a star who has been famous for a long time, and as the top scorer, he found his touch at the most critical time.
The players of the Chinese team felt good, Tang Shuai scored with successive assists for his teammates, and Durant played the role of a lone hero, repeatedly standing up for the United States team to renew the score.
The game between the two sides was extremely anxious, and the United States still held a narrow lead.
"Bang!"
Zhao Haoyan's empty three-pointer jumped out of the basket, and the rebound was grabbed by Drummond.
Durant came back and scored on a turnaround and flowing shot, which was already his 30th point of the game, and the U.S. team's lead came to five points.
Tang Shuai broke through and gave the ball to Yi Jianlian, and Yi Jianlian made a near-empty jumper.
"Bang!"
The mid-range shot hit the iron again, and Drummond easily picked up the rebound.
The consistency of the Chinese team's players is certainly not comparable to that of the American team, and Butler and Leonard are also focused on defending Tang Shuai, and the Chinese team's offense seems to be in trouble again.
Durant hit another pull-up jumper to the frontcourt, but perhaps it was the continuous shooting that consumed too much of his physical strength, and this time the shot jumped out of the basket.
At this moment, Drummond pressed Yi Jianlian and grabbed the offensive rebound! Turning around is a violent buckle!
The lead of the American team has been extended to 7 points again!
Tang Shuai gasped and looked up at the score, the existence of a single consumption package greatly increased the success rate of his offense, but the consumption of physical strength was also very large, although he was assisting his teammates a lot of the time, but his current physical strength was actually not much better than Durant who had been shooting.
He drove forward with the ball in his hands, and after a moment of catching his breath, he turned his gaze to the U.S. defense.
Soon, he discovered something that pleased him.
Because of Durant's strong performance, his focus naturally fell on Durant, but in fact, Drummond was also eye-catching in these rounds, with continuous backcourt rebounding scrambles, and a frontcourt dunk in the previous round.
Originally, Drummond's almost invisible existence was unnoticeable, but after being noticed at this time, he became Tang Shuai's target.
Drummond did not have a single foul in the third quarter, and the foul was well controlled, but in the first two rounds, he was whistled for his fourth foul when he was competing for rebounds with Yi Jianlian, and five fouls left the court in international competitions, that is, if there was one more foul, Drummond would leave the court with five fouls!
How could he not be overjoyed by this one's discovery!
He directly stretched out his hand to signal his teammates to pull away, and then asked Yi Jianlian to pick up the block.
After Yi Jianlian finished blocking, he dismantled outside, and Drummond directly switched defenses to Tang Shuai.
Tang Shuai accelerated, slowed down, and then accelerated, wanting to use the change of pace to trick Drummond into fouling.
However, to his surprise, Drummond didn't seem to be fooled, and in the end he scored a pick-and-roll, and Drummond didn't make a block.
He couldn't help but turn his head to look at the old Coach K on the sidelines, it seemed that this should be what he specially advised.
But that's fine, a semi-abandoning defense is actually not much different from being on the field.
The offense of the American team, Durant's shot is bouncing out of the basket again, and his touch seems to be declining.
Tang Shuai repeated his old trick and once again passed Drummond and scored a layup.
Small fights are big, and it is really difficult for Drummond to defend against Tang Shuai.
The score was again forced to close to 3 points.
"Team China! Defend! ”
As the score continued to approach, the cheers of the fans at the scene were getting higher and higher.
However, there is definitely a reason why Durant can be called a FIBA killer, after he missed consecutive shots, he decisively used a breakthrough, slender arms, and a speed that formed a strong contrast with his height, and he couldn't solve it after picking it up.
"Toot!"
Durant's trademark big loop layup was successful, and the ball went in and caused Zhou Peng's hitter to foul.
After scoring, Durant pressed his fist hard, and it could be seen that he was quite relieved by this ball.
Steady hit and added penalties, and the point difference came to 6 points again, and at this time, there was less than half a quarter left before the game, and the game was extremely anxious.
The adjustment of the old K coach was still very timely, and when Tang Shuai called Yi Jianlian to block and dismantle again, the person who pushed out directly became Leonard.
Tang Shuai still chose to break through, his teammates' hand was declining, and he had to keep the Chinese team scoring on the field.
Leonard's defense was excellent and very clean, clinging to Tang Shuai to prevent him from finding comfortable space to shoot.
When Tang Shuai was playing against the Spurs, Leonard's defense made Tang Shuai unable to use his fists and feet, and later relied on a single consumption package to break through the defense, but fortunately, at this time he also had a single consumption package.
One accelerates, slightly widens the distance between the two sides, and another makes a sharp stop, followed by a jump shot.
After using the Single Consumption Pack, he became much more proficient at speed than usual, and Leonard's rhythm was a bit out of pace.
But just as Tang Shuai jumped up and made a move, a black shadow directly covered him!
Drummond, although he deliberately controlled the foul, but Tang Shuai continued to easily pass him and score layups, how could he not care! And he was young and vigorous, and when he saw Tang Shuai shaking away Leonard, his center of gravity was a little unstable, so he directly reached out to cover it.
As long as this ball is covered, it is definitely quite relieving.
There was a look of excitement in his eyes.
In fact, Tang Shuai shook Leonard away with all his strength, and his center of gravity was indeed unstable, and he didn't expect Drummond to dare to come over to block.
Fortunately, he saw it, so he wouldn't have made a move.
Even if his body was falling, he didn't make a move, and even reached out to make an upward movement.
Drummond's eyes were surprised, but because he was so excited, it was too late to stop.
"Smack!"
With a crisp sound, Drummond hit the back of Tang Shuai's hand.
The referee's whistle sounded on the sidelines.
Drummond, his fifth foul!
The moment the referee's whistle blew, the old Coach K on the sidelines immediately jumped up and walked to the referee to keep saying something.
Drummond hugged his head in confusion, he didn't expect Tang Shuai to choose to do this.
Tang Shuai, on the other hand, shook his arm with a relaxed expression.
Finally, Drummond still committed five fouls, which was somewhat unexpected, but it was definitely a good thing.
Coach K's arguments didn't have much substance, Drummond was sent off and Green was replaced.
Drummond sat down and shook his head, and it was obvious that he was quite annoyed.
Tang Shuai walked to the free throw line, and in a relaxed mood, he steadily hit both free throws.
The winner or loser of the game can often be a point, which is like a thousand miles of embankment destroyed in an anthill, and Drummond is gone, which suddenly changes the situation on the field.
Before the U.S. team launched the next offensive round, Gong Luming decisively replaced Zhou Qi on the court.
This adjustment is quite decisive and timely, and this one is replaced, in addition to Tang Shuai, the Chinese team has also become advantageous on the inside.
On the offense of the American team, Durant still chose to break through, but this time, under the twin towers of Zhou Qi and Yi Jianlian, his shot slipped out of the basket.
Green rushed to grab the rebound in the front court, but the shot was slapped off by Zhou Qi coming back to his senses.
The ball fell in front of Tang Shuai, he turned around and launched a fast attack, a dragon from the backcourt to the front court as if no one was in a no-man's land, after jumping in one step in the free throw line, he directly dunked with a light hand, chasing the score to only 2 points!
The whole stadium was boiling, not only the Chinese fans, but even the Brazilian fans who were there were also high, this is no longer an illusion, they actually felt that the Chinese team began to occupy the initiative on the field!
Durant chose to shoot the jumper, and under Zhai Xiaochuan's strict defense, his shot failed to hit, but fortunately, it caused the latter's thug to foul.
He gasped as he walked to the free-throw line, and it was clear that the physical exertion was enormous.
One of two free throws.
After coming back to his senses, Tang Shuai encountered the defense of Butler and Leonard after breaking through, and the shot also jumped out of the basket, but Yi Jianlian grabbed a key offensive rebound above Green's head, and when he got up, he caused Green's pulling foul!
Green's personal fourth foul!
The situation began to tilt more and more in favor of the Chinese team.
Yi Jianlian hit both free throws, and the score of the two sides was only 1 point within reach!
Many Chinese fans at the scene couldn't stand anymore, got up from their seats, and shouted loudly for the Chinese team.
This semi-final, which was originally considered to be unsuspenseful, has become unprecedented at this moment.
Durant still plays on his own, and at such times, only he can turn the tide.
Durant is indeed fierce, relying on beating Zhai Xiaochuan, the Chinese team Zhou Qi went up to assist in defense, he directly chose to ignore it, a turn and a step back, to get rid of the defense of the two.
"Huh!"
The ball is still in!
That's what the NBA's top scorers are capable of!
However, Tang Shuai was not far behind, and he chose to play with his back to the single, and made a turnaround step-back jumper between Leonard's help in defense.
After receiving a 10% ability bonus, his strength at the moment is comparable to the normal version of the Truth Turning Back Pack.
"Huh!"
Tang Shuai responded positively to Durant's shot.
Durant turned back, and this time he didn't even wait for the Chinese team's defense to settle down, and directly stepped on the three-point line to shoot.
"Huh!"
Return in!
Durant regained his touch at the most critical moment!
"As long as Kevin is here, the team has a good chance of winning!" Barkley said excitedly in the broadcast room, even he was a little nervous when the game reached such a critical moment, although he praised Tang Shuai, but he was an American after all, and naturally hoped that the American team could win the game.
Tang Shuai gasped and looked up at the time of the game, there was less than 1 minute left, and the score on the field was 111-110.
After dribbling the ball for about four seconds, he beckoned Yi Jianlian to pick up the block, and he played almost the entire section, and the physical exertion at this time can be said to be unusually large.
Tang Shuai's breathing was seen by Durant, and when Tang Shuai broke through to the inside line by blocking and dismantling, he chased directly from the diagonal side.
Because Green had four fouls on his back, he didn't dare to make a big defensive move after changing defenses, Tang Shuai easily jumped up after him, and he was ready to put a basket when he started.
But at that moment, a hand slammed into the diagonal side!
