Chapter 167: 1-on-1 heads-up

This short timeout was a timely rain for the players of the national team, because at this time they had another problem, which was a physical problem. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In the second half of the fourth quarter, the players' physical strength was actually running out at this time, plus a period of blind running just now, in fact, several players were already supported by willpower. If it weren't for the home stadium, if it wasn't for the unprecedented entry into the final, maybe there would have been people who couldn't run.

Physical fitness has always been a major weakness of the men's national basketball team, and the collapse of the fourth quarter also happens frequently, which is related to the acquired training and innate physical fitness.

"It seems that many people have reached their limits!" Zhang Guan looked around, he knew that the so-called limit was actually a threshold, and many athletes would encounter this situation in the competition, but as long as they crossed this threshold, the fatigue would not be so strong, and the players could support it for a while.

"We'll have to give them a little rest, but there's not much time left, maybe by the time they get a break, the game is over. It seems that the key is to rely on myself. It's not easy to force Paul! Zhang Guan subconsciously looked at the American team.

After a short timeout, the game resumed, but Paul was not seen from the players on the U.S. team.

"Team USA substitution? Replaced Paul and replaced Wade. In this lineup, will the player opposite me be Kobe? Zhang Guan was overjoyed and couldn't help but feel a little excited.

Any basketball player, or even any fan, can play 1-on-1 with Kobe Bryant, it's something to be excited about.

Things are just as Zhang Guan thought, after the game started, Kobe Bryant became the point guard of the American team, this time the offense, the American team played very patiently, there was a relatively clear cooperation between them, and it was no longer a simple personal ability to attack, after a few transmissions, the ball was hit into the basket without any fancy fancy.

Then in the next attack, Zhang Guan advanced with the ball, and Kobe Bryant met him as soon as possible.

"Sure enough, it's Kobe!" Zhang Guan's eyes revealed a strong fighting spirit, he waved his hand at his teammates, and said, "Open up space for me!" ”

"Oh......" The audience let out a burst of exclamations, and everyone had already seen that Zhang Guan was going to go head-to-head with Kobe.

"Zhang Guan wants to single out Kobe! I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen near the end of the game. ”

"There's a good show to watch now! Zhang Guan and Kobe Bryant are going to go head-to-head! ”

"Haha, the trump cards of the two sides are going to face off directly!"

On the American team, the coach and players also felt surprised, Zhang Guan has been sending out a series of good balls like a miracle since he came on the court, so everyone's subconscious thought that Zhang Guan would continue to play like this, and would continue to use all kinds of passes, but Zhang Guan gave up the originally successful style of play at this time and chose to go head-to-head with Kobe.

"Heads-up? Come on! I also want to try to see if I can prevent your breakthrough. Kobe Bryant has already been aroused in his heart to be competitive, he bowed down and was ready to meet Zhang Guan's breakthrough.

At this time, the players of the American team also cooperated to withdraw to the side, the American team already has this culture, even at the last moment of the game, the boss of the team has to go head-to-head with the opponent, if anyone comes over and intervenes without opening his eyes, he definitely does not want to mix with the American team.

In this American team, maybe only Kobe Bryant has this privilege, and even James and Anthony will definitely be reprimanded by the coach for doing this, but Kobe Bryant can do this, not only because he is the boss of the team, but also because of his status in the basketball world! He has proven himself countless times with his strength, so even at such a critical moment, when he goes head-to-head with his opponent, the coaches and players will tolerate him doing so, because he is Kobe Bryant, and they believe in his strength!

At this time, Zhang Guan was unprecedentedly calm, and his mind was constantly simulating the next moves, and at the same time simulating Kobe's choice. He knew that the simulation he did might be Kobe's next choice, because what he was learning was Kobe's experience book.

From 2005 to 2008, it happened to be the four years of Kobe's peak, which can be seen from Kobe's personal data, and now the 30-year-old Kobe has faded from the youth and recklessness of the year, he has become more mature, and he is a qualified leader of the team. Three championships, two-time NBA scoring champions, one regular season MVP, and three All-Star Game MVPs, Zhang Guan is now facing perhaps the strongest Kobe. If you compare Kobe Bryant in 2008 and Kobe Bryant in 2016, there may be only two words between the two, and that is "great". Kobe Bryant in 2008 was a strong player, and Kobe Bryant in 2016 was indisputably a great player.

But Zhang Guan didn't back down, and he even became more excited, because he always had a champion heart and he believed he could win.

The next moment, Zhang Guan started suddenly, then made an emergency stop and changed direction, followed by an emergency stop, and then changed direction. After changing direction many times in a row, Zhang Guan found a gap, Zhang Guan's gap was fleeting, Kobe Bryant was obviously aware of this gap, and just wanted to step forward to make up for it, but Zhang Guan rushed directly in front of Kobe.

Kobe's defensive options are the same as those simulated in Zhang's mind, and this is the key to Zhang's victory. Knowing himself and knowing his opponent, Zhang Guan was able to guess Kobe's next move, so in this attack and defense, he targeted Kobe Bryant and seized that opportunity.

Kobe's expression became more serious, and in the next offense, he signaled his teammates to open up the distance and create space for himself, and he wanted to continue to fight 1 against 1 with Zhang Guan, but this time, Kobe Bryant was the offensive side, and Zhang Guan was the defensive side.

Bryant made a sideways breakthrough feint, followed by a feigned change of direction, and then broke through in the other direction, but he only broke through halfway through when he suddenly made a sharp stop, and then he suddenly jumped, which turned out to be a backward jumper.

Zhang Guan had expected this, he jumped up and prepared to block, but Kobe Bryant made a backward jumper, he had already shot, and Zhang Guan still couldn't interfere with the ball.

"Huh!" The ball went in, Kobe Bryant showed his trademark expression, this shot was very difficult, and Kobe Bryant was willing to play beautifully, and the backward jumper was simply elegant, so people had nothing to say.

"It's beautiful!" Zhang Guan looked at the playback on the big screen at the scene and sighed involuntarily. Kobe's trademark head-to-head jumper is indeed pleasing to the eye.

In the next offense, Zhang Guan still broke through, and Kobe Bryant also knew that Zhang Guan couldn't shoot, so he deliberately kept a relatively large distance from Zhang Guan, but even so, Zhang Guan still relied on his strong bounce ability to jump off and make a layup in advance.

"It's a long jump champion, it's really far, I thought he would jump close to the basket, but I didn't expect him to jump early, I should have taken a step outside, maybe I could make a dribble and hit someone." Kobe recalled the offense and defense just now and summed up his shortcomings. And he would never have thought that all this was calculated by Zhang Guan, and in Zhang Guan's deduction, Kobe Bryant would play like this.

In the next ball, Bryant attacked and scored again with a step-back jumper. And Zhang Guan was not to be outdone, and used the breakthrough to score another goal.

Kobe frowned, a strange feeling rose in his heart, he felt that he had defended very well, but Zhang Guan was always able to seize the fleeting gap and complete the breakthrough.

"What the hell, why didn't you prevent it! How can Zhang Guan's ability to seize opportunities be so strong! As soon as the opportunity appeared, he immediately seized it, as if he had known that this result would be achieved, so he had been waiting for this opportunity. (To be continued.) )
