Chapter 416: Three overtime
With the U.S. losing their last attack, the game went to overtime. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"I really didn't expect this game to be dragged into overtime! I thought that the American team would definitely be able to beat the Chinese team! ”
"Who's to say it isn't! However, in the last ball just now, the tactics of the American team obviously did not work. It should be Zhang Guan's sudden bag clamp that disrupted the original tactical arrangement of the American team, and I guess in the tactical arrangement of Coach K, it was definitely not Granger who was responsible for the last shot. ”
"But in overtime, the Chinese team will definitely not be able to bear it, there is still a big gap in the strength of the two sides, in overtime, I think the American team will win!"
In the overtime between the strong and the weak teams, there is no doubt that the strong teams have the advantage, not to mention that the United States team still has desperate bench depth, even the strength at the end of the bench is better than the starters of other teams.
On the bench of the U.S. team, the players seemed very relaxed, after all, they were superior, so they were not afraid of overtime, and people such as Curry even wanted the game to go into overtime, so they might have a chance to play.
On the bench of the Chinese team, the players seized the time to rest. Although the overtime is only five minutes, for the players of the Chinese team, their physical strength may not even be able to hold up for these five minutes of overtime.
……
Deng Huade looked nervous, he never expected to play overtime against the United States.
"I really didn't expect to play overtime, with our physical reserves, I'm afraid it's a little difficult to play overtime!" Deng Huade frowned, and then said, "Let's fight for three-pointers!" ”
"Three-point shot?" Wang Shipeng subconsciously raised his head.
"The U.S. team has the advantage, and if we play overtime, our chances of winning are very low, so it's better to try our luck, and if we're lucky, we can shoot a few more three-pointers, maybe we can win!" Deng Huade said.
Deng Huade's speculative personality was fully revealed at this time, and he believed that only three-point shots could turn defeat into victory when his strength was not superior.
……
At the start of overtime, the U.S. team was replaced by Rose, Westbrook, Odom and Chandler, and Durant remained on the court.
Wei Shao didn't hit the first breakthrough, Zhang Guan's first shot also missed, and the opening feeling of both sides was relatively average.
Odom hit a jumper to open up the situation for the U.S. team, and then Zhang Guan used a three-pointer to take a one-point lead, and Durant immediately returned a three-pointer, and the U.S. team still led by two points.
Zhang Guan dribbled forward, roughly blocked and dismantled, and then formed a change of defense, in the face of Chandler, Zhang Guan directly accelerated to break through, and Rose stepped forward to assist in defense as soon as possible.
Zhang Guan threw the ball back directly without looking at it, threw it accurately into his hand, and roughly hit a three-point jumper.
Rose broke through, his body opportunity twisted into a twist, and scored the ball, but after the goal, Rose made a mistake, he stepped forward to wrap Zhang Guan, but missed Wang Shipeng, Zhang Guan passed the ball to Wang Shipeng, Wang Shipeng scored three points again, and the Chinese team led by two points.
Shhashevsky explained a few words to Billups, and then replaced him on the field, and Billups immediately conveyed Shawszewski's instructions after he came on the field: "We can't relax our defense against the rest of the Chinese team yet." ”
After the break, the Chinese team's physical fitness has recovered somewhat, so it can share some pressure for Zhang Guan in the attack, but this situation can't last long, and when there is still the last minute of overtime, the Chinese team's physical fitness has problems again, and Deng Huade immediately called a timeout to let the players rest.
At this time, Shashewski had already seen that the Chinese team was completely fighting for three-point shots.
"Deng Huade, this opportunist!" Shashewski glared helplessly at Deng Huade not far away, but he was also lamenting Deng Huade's good luck in his heart, at least so far, the Chinese team's three-point strategy is still very successful, the shooting rate has been maintained at a high state, the game has the last minute left, and the United States team did not get a one-point lead, the two sides tied 102-102.
"I don't believe you can keep going on like this!" Shashewski pouted slightly, then replaced with Lefu and Iguodala again.
……
"Iguodala, three-pointer...... Didn't throw, Lefu made up the basket, in! ”
Roughly helplessly looked at Lefou, who was half a head shorter than him, this American guy looks very young, but his awareness of grabbing rebounds is very good, his lower body strength is amazing, and his physical confrontation is not worse than those black muscle sticks, at least in the low post, whether it is offensive or defensive, it is the world's top level.
"Team USA is really amazingly talented! I was far worse than him when I was twenty-two. He sighed roughly, and he was also lamenting in his heart that the years were unforgiving.
Next is the ball of the Chinese team, when everyone thought that the Chinese team would bet on three points, Zhang Guan did the opposite, directly into the three-second zone, a backward jumper to equalize the score.
With 28 seconds left, the U.S. had the ball, a striking resemblance to the situation just at the end of the fourth quarter.
"How will the U.S. team play? Do you choose to run out of 24 seconds of offense, or do you want to take the initiative to foul like last time? When the commentator asked questions, he saw that Billups had passed the ball to Durant, and Durant received the ball and immediately passed it to the inside.
"Durant, pass inside! Loafer Air Relay! was interfered with, the ball was not scored, and the Chinese team grabbed the rebound! The commentator let out a sigh of relief, and then said: "The American team is ready to attack, but this ball is too impatient, the air relay is indeed a little too whimsical, although Da Yao has injured his leg, but the Chinese team's interior strength still has a height advantage, if it is Duncan, maybe you can also get what you want in the Chinese team's interior, but Lefu will definitely not be able to do it." However, this goal was not scored, but the American team was passive, and it was the turn of the Chinese team to attack. ”
There were only 15 seconds left in the game, and this time, the American team did not call a timeout, nor did it choose to take the initiative to foul, but defended steadily, and the Chinese team also honestly started to attack.
Shashewski saw that the physical fitness of the Chinese team had bottomed out, and calling a timeout at this time helped the Chinese team recover its strength; And if you take the initiative to foul, the time of free throws is also to help the Chinese team recover their strength, so they simply don't do anything.
This choice is very correct, as can be seen from the physical confrontation between the two sides in the positional battle, the players of the American team only need to use their bodies to make the Chinese players lose a good position to receive the ball.
"At this time, maybe you can wrap it up!" Shashefsky shouted: "Lamar, bag! ”
Odom immediately abandoned Sun Yue and chose to wrap Zhang Guan.
Zhang Guan hesitated suddenly, he wanted to pass the ball to Sun Yue, but Sun Yue's shooting was really unreliable, and Sun Yue, as a player with outstanding defensive ability in the Chinese team, was second only to Zhang Guan and the United Arab Emirates in terms of playing time, but the physical consumption was the most.
"No, let's do it yourself!" Zhang Guan chose to shoot on his own.
Billups and Odom one rushed at Zhang Guan's eyes to block, and the other slapped the ball, Zhang Guan had to adjust the angle of the shot, and the moment the ball was shot, Zhang Guan realized that the shot was missed.
"Rebounding!"
With Zhang Guan's shout, Lefu had already jumped up early and grabbed the ball.
I saw Lefu writhing in the air, and when his body landed, his back to the basket was already on, and then he picked up his arm and threw the ball directly to the opposite basket.
It's Lefou's trick again, after grabbing the rebound, he throws it directly to the frontcourt, whether it is the landing point or the angle, it is just right, not delaying a little time, and not giving the defender a chance to return to defense, in the entire NBA, Lefu may be the best person to use this trick.
For the U.S. team, the moment Love grabbed the rebound, Rose had already started and ran to the opposite basket.
"This ball is here!" While Rose was running, he looked at the timing card on the opposite side, and there was a burst of excitement in his heart, and there were still three seconds left, and he calculated that it was enough for him to use a one-second dunk action to complete this attack after receiving the ball.
"The overtime dunk is definitely the best goal of the day!" Rose thought silently.
However, at this moment, a white figure was already on par with Rose.
"It's Zhang Guan!" Rose's heart tightened.
Speed is Rose's strength, there are few people in the entire NBA who will be faster than Rose, but speed is Zhang Guan's strength, Rose's speed may be able to dominate the NBA, but Zhang Guan's speed can dominate the world!
Zhang Guan came first, overtook Rose in an instant, and then reached out and took the ball into his arms.
At this time, Rose had already caught up, and he pounced on Zhang Guan, stretching out his arm to stop Zhang Guan from throwing the ball out.
"It's too late!" Zhang Guan looked at the time, it was not enough for him to turn around, he turned his back to the basket of the American team at this time, and had to throw the ball out in a "urinal" way.
"Oops!"
"It's over!"
In the U.S. team, whether on the court or on the bench, whether it is athletes or coaches, all have a sense of weakness, because the arc of the ball is obviously towards the basket.
"Wouldn't it be possible to shoot in the backcourt with your back to the basket and then use a 'urinal'?"
"Bang!" The basketball smashes into the front of the basket.
"Whew!" The entire U.S. team breathed a sigh of relief, this goal was too dangerous, if Zhang Guan's strength was a little bigger, maybe it would have been scored.
The referee also blew the whistle at this time, and the first overtime ended, with the score of the two sides 104-104, and the second overtime was about to begin.
……
"I really didn't expect the game to go to the second overtime!"
"Yes, it is really surprising that the Chinese team was able to survive the first overtime."
"It's still a three-point shot, the Chinese team has been shooting three-pointers just now, and the luck is still very good, and the shooting rate is quite high."
"This style of play is indeed like gambling, but the opponent is the American team, and there is no way to bet if you don't bet, if you still follow the previous way of playing, it is equivalent to sitting and waiting to die."
"I don't think the luck of the Chinese team can always be so good, right? There will always be times when they don't feel good. ”
Amid the chatter, the second quarter of overtime began.
……
Durant's style of play has changed, and he used to shoot as his main offensive method, but in the second quarter of overtime, he frequently broke through.
However, the effect of Durant's breakthrough is not as good as shooting, in terms of breakthrough ability, Durant is considered to be excellent in the NBA, but it is definitely not the top, his main thing is to rely on height and long legs, and the long legs are one and a half steps on the top of others, plus the advantage of height, three steps up to the average person can not cover, those short forwards are difficult to affect Durant's breakthrough.
But Durant's breakthrough also has shortcomings, that is, the dribble is relatively high, and there are fewer changes, for some real defensive giants, it is not difficult to defend Durant, and for some tall players who are not slow, they can also prevent Durant's breakthrough.
Durant broke through several times in a row, but the shooting percentage was not high, and the second overtime game played for three minutes, and the U.S. team scored only five points, one of which came from free throws.
However, the Chinese team scored two three-pointers, 110-109, one point ahead of the United States. This result came as a surprise to many.
"Beep!" The whistle sounded, and the referee gestured for a foul.
"What? The UAE is fouled! Oops, five offenses! The UAE is going to be sent off! ”
On the bench of the U.S. team, Shashewski smiled with satisfaction, his goal was finally achieved.
"No wonder Durant has been breaking through to the inside, he's not here to score, he's trying to get the UAE off!"
"The Chinese team is over, the inner line will collapse, this time Zhang Guan is really alone!"
Coach Deng Huade's face turned pale, and the United Arab Emirates was sent off is bad news, and the other bad news is that he received his fourth foul not long ago.
Durant hit two free throws, but the Chinese team immediately responded with a three-pointer, and the score became 113-111, and the Chinese team still lead.
The next attack of the U.S. team, Iguodala broke through with the ball, causing Sun Yue's defensive foul, which was also Sun Yue's fifth foul.
"Sun Yue also left the scene with five crimes!" The entire Chinese team was shrouded in a dark cloud, and in just two rounds, two starters were sent off in a row, which was simply unbearable for the Chinese team.
The physical fitness and technique of the Chinese players are not as good as the American players, so many times they can only rely on fouls to complete the defense, and today Sun Yue was able to hold out until the second overtime before being sent off, which is already a good result. In order to avoid a one-sided game affecting the ratings, under the timing of FIBA, the referee's whistle in the first three quarters was relatively lenient, and some of the blows that could not be blown were let go. If the whistle is blown tighter, I am afraid that I will already be sent off in regular time.
The U.S. side had a much more average foul schedule, with Chandler being the foul on the most, having already picked up his fourth foul, but for both quarters, he sat on the bench with Love as the center. On top of that, Rose and Willis are both only three fouls, so the U.S. team doesn't have to worry about fouls.
Coach Deng Huade could only send two young people, and the defense of the Chinese team was instantly reduced.
……
Le Fu turned around and hit a violent dunk directly, if it was usual, he might not use this kind of rough attack, but now, in the face of an opponent with four fouls, he dares to use this kind of tough attack.
Roughly just stretched out his hands, he didn't even dare to jump, after all, he was back four fouls, if even he was off the court, there were really only a few rookie newcomers left in the Chinese team's interior line, which made his defensive intensity also decrease.
"Okay, the U.S. team has finally overtaken! 116 to 113! ”
"It looks like the second overtime, finally the U.S. team is finally going to win!"
"Don't worry, with 9.9 seconds left, it only takes one three-pointer to tie the game and drag the game to the third overtime! You see, Zhang Guan received the ball, and it looked like the last shot was still going to be handed over to him. ”
"What about equalization? In the third overtime, the Chinese team will still lose! Of their starters, only two were still on the pitch. ”
While everyone was talking, Zhang Guan had already begun to dribble and run to the front court.
"This ball still has to be handed over to Zhang Guan, ready to wrap it!" Durant shouted at his teammates.
Billups stared at Zhang Guan with a wary expression, and at this time he stood between the three-point line and the halfway line, in order to guard against Zhang Guan's ultra-long-distance three-point shot.
Zhang Guan, on the other hand, stopped in the center circle and began to dribble.
"Is it to break through at the last minute and then make a three-point stop?" Billupston focused, and a countdown involuntarily appeared in his mind.
“5、4、3…… It's almost time for Zhang Guan to break through! Here it comes! Billups saw Zhang's body move.
However, what Billups didn't expect was that Zhang Guan did not break through, but jumped up directly.
"What? Jumper? A jump shot so far? A jumper in the center circle? Billups never expected Zhang Guan to shoot directly, so he couldn't even interfere, so he could only watch Zhang Guan throw the ball, and the next moment, he immediately turned around and looked at the basket.
"Poof!"
The ball is in!
116 to 116 draw!
"People are staring, quick!"
Zhang Guan shouted, calling everyone back from the shock.
There are 1.1 seconds left, and the rules of the World Championships are that there is no timeout to serve in the midfield, so this means that the U.S. team has to throw the ball to the basket as soon as it is released. At this time, the man-to-man to prevent the U.S. team from receiving the ball, and the victory delayed the time to receive the ball, which is obviously the best option.
The players of the American team began to run frantically, hoping to run out of a gap to catch the ball, while the players of the Chinese team also followed frantically, just not giving the opponent a chance to receive the ball.
The ball came out, was disturbed by the general fingertips, changed direction, and rolled to the ground.
Iguodala hurriedly stepped forward to pick up the ball, and just as he could control it, he was greeted by a bag from Zhang Guan, who had already abandoned Billups and switched to Iguodala.
Iguodala didn't pass the ball to the unmarked Billups, who didn't have time to finish the shot even if he received it.
There was no time, and in the face of two people's bags, in desperation, Iguodala could only throw the ball casually, and the result was naturally a three-non-stick out-of-bounds ball.
The sound of the end of the second overtime sounded, and the two sides were tied 116-116, and the third overtime was about to begin! (To be continued.) )
