Chapter 417 Intercontinental Missiles
"Fantastic three-pointer! It was a shot in the center circle, and it went in from such a distance! ”
"Zhang Guan once again saved the Chinese team! I think even the strongest pitcher in the world can't guarantee a hit rate in this position, but Zhang Guan threw it! ”
"This three-point shot is really lucky, normally, it would be good to throw seven or eight shots in this position to score one!"
"Billups, who is responsible for defending Zhang Guan, obviously didn't expect that Zhang Guan would shoot a three-point shot at Zhang Guan's position, he was just more than one step away from Zhang Guan, and he had no ability to stop Zhang Guan from shooting!"
"To tell you the truth, this goal is too risky, but the risk is big, the benefits are big, and now it's going to be a third overtime!"
"In the last 1.1 seconds, the U.S. team should call a timeout, so we can arrange tactics and maybe we can kill them!"
"It's probably because the old K coach also thinks that 1.1 seconds can't play any tactics. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 After all, it is a baseline serve, and it is almost impossible to score in 1.1 seconds. ”
Taking advantage of the break, people in the arena began to talk.
……
"This game was so hard, it took three overtimes!" Shashewski sighed lightly, but his mind flashed the ultra-long-distance three-point shot that Zhang Guan had just had.
That can't be described as an ultra-long-range three-pointer, standing in the center circle and throwing the ball in, if there is a four-point line in the court, this is not an exaggeration.
"It should be a coincidence, or the potential that bursts out in a hurry, a three-point shot at this distance, six points rely on blindness, two points depend on luck, and the strength can probably only account for two points." Shashewski comforted himself.
At this time, Shashewski suddenly regretted a little, he felt that in the 1.1 seconds just now, he should call a timeout, maybe a timeout, and it was possible to kill the Chinese team.
The rules of the World Championships, after the pause, you have to serve at the bottom line, and the time of 1.1 seconds is still the bottom line serve, and what can be used is nothing more than two offensive methods, one is to throw the basket directly after serving, and the other is to throw the basket directly after serving and play an aerial relay.
However, both of these approaches are quite unreliable. There is no difference between throwing the opposite basket directly in the backcourt and being blind, and if you relay in the air, the American team does not have a height advantage.
"So far, Zhang Guan has not rested, even if he is an iron man, he should have run out of oil by now, if I called a timeout, wouldn't it help him relieve the pressure of physical strength. Anyway, 1.1 seconds is very difficult to score, and if it is not a last resort, it must not be called a timeout! Shashewski thought of this and said: "For a while, we will wrap Zhang Guan as much as possible, consume more of his physical strength, as long as Zhang Guan can't hold on, we will win!" ”
……
"Zhang Guan, can you still hold on?" Deng Huade asked anxiously.
The game has been played for two overtime, and Zhang Guan has been on the court since the beginning of the game, only a timeout and a regular break to recover a little. In contrast, Wang Shipeng, who has not been sent off among the starters, has already collapsed on the bench, and I am afraid that he will not have the physical strength to fight for the third overtime.
Although Sun Yue was sent off, his legs couldn't help but tremble at this time, and now he will be fluttering even if he is standing, which is a manifestation of excessive physical exertion.
Playing time is only one thing, the intensity of the confrontation is the most important. In the face of the intensity of NBA-level confrontation, it is indeed difficult for these players who play CBA on weekdays to adapt, and this is also the situation that Deng Huade is most worried about. The five starters have been beaten down by four, and now they only rely on one Zhang Guan, if Zhang Guan's physical strength can't hold on, the Chinese team will collapse directly.
"It's okay, it can hold up." Zhang Guan continued: "I want to reduce the physical confrontation and increase the number of long-range shots. Next, let's get ready to grab the rebound! ”
Shooting is obviously a more energy-saving way of attacking, especially some long-distance shooting, there will be much less physical confrontation, and there will not be too much movement trajectory, which is more physically energy-saving. It's just that the farther away from the basket, the lower the shooting percentage, and at this time, grabbing rebounds becomes the key.
For young players, grabbing rebounds mainly depends on fighting, and at this time Deng Huade suddenly found that he was useful again, and the biggest advantage of his "chicken blood" is that it can inspire young players to fight for their lives.
……
The third overtime period began, and the U.S. team changed their starting lineup, Odom, Durant, Iguodala, Rose and Billups. As for the Chinese team, except for Zhang Guan, the other five are all substitutes.
Although the starting lineup of the American team does not have a height, it is flexible in play, fast and very impactful, and Shashewski is obviously not ready to give the Chinese team another chance, and wants to play a wave of rapid offensive tide to defeat the enemy.
The Chinese team also changed their defensive strategy, and Liu Wei, who was responsible for defending Billups, and Zhang Guan faced Rose.
Although Liu Wei's defensive ability is not very good, he is more experienced, and at the age of 30, he is at the peak of a defender, and he can barely cope with Billups. Of course, if Billups could be two years younger, Liu Wei might be easily beaten.
Rose was more helpless in the face of Zhang Guan's defense, and the fast breakthrough he was good at was useless in front of Zhang Guan's speed, and the other members of the American team also knew this, and they didn't mean to pass the ball to Rose at all.
In the confrontation of the front line, the two young players of the Chinese team are Ding Jinhui and Zhou Peng, these two can be regarded as newborn calves who are not afraid of tigers, facing Iguodala and Durant, two big-name stars, without any intimidation, directly confronting them, this desperate defense makes the American team a little uncomfortable.
The U.S. team eventually relied on free throws to score two points, but those two points were more difficult than the previous score.
Zhang Guan held the ball and pushed forward, and Billups gestured to Iguodala to signal that he was ready to step forward and wrap Zhang Guan.
Zhang Guan's footwork was not fast, he dribbled forward while waving to his teammates, as if directing his teammates to move, while the other players of the Chinese team were also very cooperative, walking around according to Zhang Guan's gestures.
came to the middle line, and when he reached the top of the arc of the middle circle, Zhang Guan stopped abruptly and jumped up to shoot directly.
"It's here again!" Billups couldn't have imagined that Zhang Guan would shoot at this position.
"It's not a life-or-death ball, how can you shoot at the top of the arc in the middle circle! Did Zhang Guan take the wrong medicine? Although there is no one to mark the shot in this position, but at such a long distance, it basically depends on luck and blindness, how can it be possible to score the head! Billups thought as he looked back.
Ball in!
"What? It's in again!" This time it wasn't just Billups, the entire U.S. team had an expression of amazement.
"It's still blind, isn't it? But two such goals in a row, if you are blind, it is a little too much to say, can Zhang Guan really shoot in the middle circle? Even in the NBA, there is no one who can have such a long range! ”
"Dribbleball, this must be a balloon, if Zhang Guan can really shoot three points in this position, then what else will the game play, just disarm and surrender! Zhang Guan's speed is already so fast, coupled with the three-point shot in the middle circle, no one can prevent it! ”
The U.S. players were shocked, but the offense didn't stop in the slightest, and successive passes allowed Durant to find an open space and then score two points on a jumper.
Next, Zhang Guan repeated his old trick and once again pitched at the top of the arc of the center circle.
"Still voted?" Billups turned his head with a look of weakness, and the ball bounced out of the frame.
Billups let out a sigh: "If I go in again, I'll really call the police!" I'll just say, there's no way anyone can still keep their hit rate in this position! If I'm not mistaken, in the last overtime, Zhang Guan threw in this position and felt that it felt good, so he tried again, and he was lucky to score another goal. But luck can't always be so good, shooting in this position, it's normal not to score! Next time, Zhang Guan probably won't vote again! ”
With another goal, the U.S. team has already taken a three-point lead, and Shashewski's heart has settled.
However, when it was the Chinese team's turn to attack, Zhang Guan once again chose this ultra-long-distance shooting at the top of the arc in the center circle.
"Dare to vote here! Zhang Guan: Is this addicted? Billups immediately looked at the basket and heard a "bang" as the ball popped out of the frame again.
"I knew I couldn't get in." Billups had a disdainful smile on his face.
However, the landing point of this ball bounced far, and Zhou Peng and Durant, who were relatively close, rushed towards the ball at the same time, perhaps knowing that he couldn't grab Durant, Zhou Peng did not choose to control the rebound, but directly dialed the ball to the midfield.
Zhang Guan grabbed the basketball with one stride, then jumped directly and shot again.
"Three-pointers! Entered! Another ultra-long-range three-pointer! 122 to 122, the Chinese team tied the score again! ”
There was an exclamation at the scene, but on the bench of the American team, Shashewski frowned.
"In this overtime, Zhang Guan is two of four shots, with a 50% shooting rate, in terms of three-point standards, this shooting rate is already very high, but his shooting position is three meters away from the three-point line, such a long-distance shooting, let alone a 50% shooting rate, even if it is a one-third shooting rate, it is enough for us to have a headache! Zhang Guan has always been so persistent in shooting this kind of ultra-long-distance three-pointer, does he really have this ability? Shashewski hesitated for a moment and decided to take another look.
Iguodala's breakthrough caused another foul, two free throws and one hit, and then Zhang Guan also chose to shoot just after the halfway line, but still did not shoot, the Chinese team fought for an offensive rebound again, and passed the ball to Zhang Guan, Zhang Guan still tried to shoot three points from a long distance, and also did not shoot.
The U.S. team breathed a sigh of relief, and Zhang Guan missed two consecutive shots, which seemed to confirm that the previous goals were blind.
Odom's shot was roughly interfered with and missed the basket, and after the Chinese team grabbed the rebound, Zhang Guan still chose an ultra-long-range three-pointer just past the halfway line.
"In! It's this kind of ultra-long-distance three-point again! 125 to 123, the Chinese team overtook by two points! ”
"Is there a three-shot and one-hit after four shots? Add it up, it's seven heads and three, with a 42% shooting rate, even if it's a three-point shot, this shooting rate is already very terrifying, not to mention this kind of ultra-long-distance three-point shooting just past the halfway! If Zhang Guan's ultra-long-distance three-point shooting rate in this position can really reach a 40% shooting rate, it will be really difficult to do! Shashewski's expression became solemn.
This kind of ultra-long-distance three-point shot just over the midline is simply unguardable, if Zhang Guan's speed is not fast, you can also choose to meet up in the middle of the court to defend, but with Zhang Guan's breakthrough ability, the midfield defense is easy to be Zhang Guan's step over, forming a five-to-four situation.
"Since you can't prevent it, then you can't prevent it, it's a big deal, it's a big deal, who has the stronger scoring ability!" Shashewski made up his mind, he was ready to call a timeout to rearrange his tactics, but considering Zhang Guan's physical problems, he held back.
Back on the court, Durant returned a three-pointer to re-establish a one-point lead for the U.S. team.
With 43 seconds left in the third overtime, both sides theoretically had one chance to attack.
Zhang Guan decided to grab a three-pointer, but the shot was missed, and the U.S. team grabbed the rebound with 32 seconds left in the game.
The U.S. team was preparing for the last attack, Billups deliberately slowed down the pace, dribbled the ball for more than ten seconds, and then suddenly launched a breakthrough, Liu Wei tightly guarded Billups, not allowing him to have space for a layup, and Billups flicked his wrist and passed the ball to Durant with a ground-hitting pass.
Durant reached for the ball, and at this moment, a hand suddenly reached out from under Durant's armpit and tossed the ball aside.
That's Zhou Peng's hand, he is not a very talented player, but he plays very seriously and very hard, especially in the defensive section, he can always contribute to the team, and he is deeply loved by Deng Huade, and he is also a young player that Deng Huade focuses on cultivating.
And at this critical time, Zhou Peng also repaid Deng Huade's trust with his performance, although this steal did not control the ball, it did not let Durant receive the ball.
The basketball flew out of bounds, and Iguodala, who was closest to the ball, immediately rushed up and saved the ball with a movement of the moon.
"Beep!" The referee's whistle blew to signal Iguodala to step on the line, and the subsequent slow motion showed that Iguodala's toe did step on the sideline for this save.
"Throw-in! Iguodala touches the ball! The ball of the Chinese team! The commentator of the central electric power shouted excitedly: "There are still 13 seconds, enough for us to play an attack!" All it takes is a two-point goal and the score is overtaken! ”
Coach Deng Huade decisively called a timeout, and after the timeout came back, the Chinese team served in the backcourt.
This time, Zhang Guan did not hesitate, dribbled the ball quickly across the halfway, and then handed the ball to Liu Wei, who came up to answer, and Liu Wei immediately passed the ball back to Zhang Guan.
I saw Zhang Guan holding the ball with both hands, lowering his body, and deliberately posing as if he wanted to break through. And this posture made Billups hesitate, and he didn't know whether to step forward and defend.
"What to do? is in this position, Zhang Guan is already three of the seven shots, no matter what he says, maybe he will shoot ultra-long-distance three-pointers! But if he stepped forward to defend himself, he would break through again! Now we are only one point ahead, and the Chinese team only needs a two-point shot to overtake the score, that's right, prevent two points and put three points, and we must not let Zhang Guan break through! ”
Billups thought as he silently counted the time in his head.
In the stadium, the red countdown has begun, and the audience has already stood up and chanted the countdown number together.
“5、4、3……”
Zhang Guan did not break through, but still chose to score three points at a long distance.
"Three-pointers!"
The audience at the scene let out an exclamation.
On the field, on the bench, athletes, coaches, team leaders, team doctors, everyone's hearts are in their throats at this moment!
At this moment, the basketball crossed a beautiful arc in the air, and then fell firmly into the basket.
"In! Pointers! Super long-range three-point shot! It's this kind of ultra-long-range three-point shot again! 128 to 126, the Chinese team overtook the score! Lore? Is it a lore? The referee was watching the replay and was still unsure if it was a lore. If this is a lore, the Chinese team will win the championship! ”
……
"It's really in! It's in again! In the third overtime, Zhang Guan made a total of four ultra-long-distance three-pointers! I've never seen a player with such a range! This is really a super heavy artillery! No, 'heavy artillery' can no longer describe this terrifying range, it should be said that 'missiles'! ”
"I think it's more appropriate to call it an 'intercontinental missile,' because it was the longest-range weapon in the world at that time, and it was very accurate. Zhang Guan's ultra-long-distance shooting deserves this nickname! ”
……
On the sidelines, the players of the American team were mourning, and they were still waiting for the final decision of the referee to see if they could return to the table and give the American team a little more time. However, even if it can be reversed, it is a death throes for the U.S. team, and the World Championship has to serve from the backcourt after a pause, a rule that makes the kind of one-second kill in the NBA almost impossible to achieve.
There was only one person who wasn't, and that was Stephen Curry, who was sitting at the end of the bench, waiting for Zhang Guan with his eyes shining.
"The shooting in the midfield can be guaranteed. I didn't expect basketball to be played like this! Just relying on crazy three-point shooting, the Chinese team can beat us! Didn't people say before that you can't shoot a basketball alone?"
"Three-point shooting, that's also my housekeeping skill, if I can do it to the extent of Zhang Guan, then I can also be the core of the team! I can also get the MVP, I can also win the championship! Yes, it's a three-point shot! A three-point shot that doesn't make sense at all! Perverted quasi-three-point shot! That's what I need! ”
At this moment, Curry's heart was like a frenzy, and he seemed to feel that a brand new window was opened...... (To be continued.) )
