Chapter 60: Ball Scored, Penalty Added (Three Watches)
In the dressing room of the German team, Coach Stowe was also cheering for the players.
"Boys, well done, although we didn't find the touch in the first quarter, our defense in the second quarter was very good, allowing the Chinese team to only score 8 points. We're going to keep it up. Coach Stowe continued: "But we can't be careless, I believe that if the Chinese team continues to fall into a scoring drought, they will definitely change their tactics, don't forget that they still have a good breakthrough Zhang Guan sitting on the bench." Once Zhang Guan is on the field, we have to fight with the spirit of 12 points to deal with this unknown opponent! ”
The fifteen-minute halftime passed quickly, and the athletes took the court again to start the third quarter.
At the beginning of the third quarter, Da Yao and Sun Yue scored consecutive points, and the Chinese team completed the comeback with 32-31, and then the two sides fell into a stalemate. When the two sides launched an offensive battle inside, the Chinese team gradually regained the lead, especially Sun Yue's block made a great contribution at this moment, he covered a layup by Nowitzki, the Chinese team played more and more bravely, and at the end of the third quarter with a 12-4 climax, the score was locked at 47-39. This time it was Germany's turn to score just eight points in the first quarter.
After three quarters, the Chinese team held an eight-point lead, which also gave fans hope of winning. At this time, the audience also temporarily forgot about letting Zhang Guan play, after all, it is now the lead, which shows that the current style of play and lineup configuration are very good, and there is no need to change the formation.
Coach Younas also continued to put Zhang Guan on the bench. For a coach, directing the game is like playing cards, and whoever has more hole cards at the end is more likely to win. And for now, Zhang Guan is obviously the last hole card hidden by Younas, and Coach Younas will not open this hole card until he is forced to do so.
In the fourth quarter of the game, while the German team strengthened its defense, it also made mistakes one after another, and did not score a point in three minutes. The Chinese team scored 4 points in a row, and the score became 51-39. With the German team's shooting rate today, chasing 12 points in seven minutes looks a little difficult. Then the two teams held each other for a few rounds, and Wang Shipeng played a 2+1, the score was 54-41, and the Chinese team's lead reached 13 points.
The Germans looked increasingly passive, but at this crucial moment, it was Nowitzki who stepped up, scoring five straight points to tie the score at 46-54, and Coach Younas immediately called a timeout.
At this time in the game, the physical fitness of athletes on both sides has declined, but the physical fitness of the Chinese team has obviously decreased more, which is most intuitively reflected in the obvious decline in the hit rate. Today's hit rate of the Chinese team is not high, and after a decline, it will be even more miserable.
Liu Wei missed two consecutive jumpers, and the German team, Mr. Bahrer scored a three-pointer, and then Nowitzki played 2+1, at this time the score became 52-54, the German team chased only two points, and the Chinese team asked for a timeout again.
From 54-41 to 54-52, the German team scored 11 points in a row, while during this period, the Chinese team did not score a single point.
Coach Younas looked at Zhang Guan and said, "Zhang Guan, get ready to play!" Like against Spain, we need your breakthrough now, and with your breakthrough, we can tear apart the German defence, just like we did against Spain! ”
……
"Look, that's Zhang Guan, Zhang Guan is on the field!"
"Zhang Guan finally came on the field, and in the previous game against the Spanish team, Zhang Guan appeared at the last moment. At that time, the Spanish team was about to tie the score, just like the current situation! ”
"I seem to see history repeating itself, Zhang Guan's sharp breakthrough is coming again!"
"I didn't watch that game against Spain, I have been regretting it, I didn't think I would make up for it today!"
The audience immediately began to cheer, which was not only an expectation of Zhang Guan, but also a trust in him.
……
"Well done, lads, we played 11-0 and are only two points behind now! The physical strength of the Chinese team has declined very seriously, even Da Yao, and our strong period has finally come! Keep up the good work, the victory is ours! Stowe, the coach of the German team, roared loudly, cheering on his players.
At this moment, the timeout time came, the athletes were ready to take the field, and the spectators at the scene also let out a roaring shout at this moment.
"Huh? The cheering sound is much louder than just now, what's going on? Has something changed? Stowe was playing tennis in the direction of the Chinese team, and happened to see that among the five players who were walking on the court, there was a slightly unfamiliar number that had never played before.
"Number 12? The 12th of the Chinese team! That's Zhang Guan! Stowe exclaimed.
In the international arena, there are situations where teams are not familiar with each other, so they are distinguished by the number of the players. Of course, if it is some stars, there is no need to be so troublesome, such as meeting the American team, they are all big stars in the NBA, and they know each other directly by looking at their faces, so there is no need to look at the number.
Although Zhang Guan is not a big-name star, his popularity is more than that of a big-name star, not to mention that he is engaged in the sports industry, even many people who don't usually pay attention to sports know Zhang Guan.
The same is true for Stowe, who was about to look down to check the player's information when he first saw Zhang Guan's number, but he saw Zhang Guan's face clearly and immediately recognized Zhang Guan.
"The Chinese team still sent Zhang Guan!" Stowe couldn't help but feel a little empty in his heart, he really wanted to call the players back and rearrange the tactics again, but he was definitely reluctant to take a timeout, the game has reached the final stage, every timeout is incomparably precious, and every timeout will affect the final victory.
……
The game started again, the ball passed to Zhang Guan's hands, and the German team was very clever not to choose to press all over the court, but to retreat to their own half of the court and engage in positional defense. The Chinese team is still in accordance with the tactical arrangement, and everyone runs to the outside, which opens up enough space for Zhang Guan's next breakthrough.
Germany's point guard is named Dermund Green, who is 29 years old and can be said to be in the prime of a basketball player. In the face of Zhang Guan's dribbling, Green did not panic, he always kept a certain distance from Zhang Guan's keeper while catching up, obviously guarding against Zhang Guan's breakthrough.
"Zhang Guan is only 22 years old this year, and he is still a basketball player, his game experience is certainly not very rich, he is just fast, but sometimes, speed is not omnipotent, especially in defense, experience is king!" Green thought silently in his heart, and at the same time, he was also full of confidence in defending against Zhang Guan.
The next moment, Zhang Guan suddenly started and broke through to the right.
"If you want to get past me, no way!" Green reacted immediately and blocked it with his body.
But the next time he dribbled, Zhang Guan suddenly changed hands, and then his body rushed in the other direction.
"Zhang Guan has changed direction! The breakthrough just now was a feint! Green followed up again.
And Zhang Guan changed direction again.
"Continuous change of direction?" Green followed the defense again, but this time, he didn't notice that Zhang Guan had actually been stuck in front of him, and the little distance that Green deliberately kept with Zhang Guan just now had been erased in this continuous change of direction, and Green had no buffer space to defend at this time.
Zhang Guan suddenly accelerated, breaking past Green. And Green, who lost the defensive buffer space, couldn't stop Zhang Guan's pace at all.
"Oops, it was broken by Zhang Guan!" Green immediately turned back to pursue, but he found that he couldn't catch up with Zhang Guan.
At this time, the help of interior players is needed, but both Nowitzki and Carman have been brought to the position near the three-point line, and with the speed of the two, it will be impossible to stop Zhang Guan from attacking the basket now.
So at this moment, Green chose to foul, he wanted to foul Zhang Guan, even if he let Zhang Guan make free throws, it couldn't make him score two points.
Zhang Guan had already jumped up and made a layup, and Green, who was chasing after him, also jumped up and went directly to pat Zhang Guan's arm, and he even wanted to pull Zhang Guan's arm down directly, so that he could not complete this layup.
The bodies of the two people touched in the air, and Green's hand also grabbed the position of Zhang Guan's hind arm, and then a huge force came, and a shocked look suddenly flashed in Green's eyes.
"What a power!" Green was shocked, he already had a premonition, and he found that his foul didn't seem to interfere with Zhang Guan's layup.
The referee's whistle blows.
The basketball falls into the basket.
Zhang Guan lays up, the ball scores, and a penalty is added!
